Chapter 27 I just think that if you want to kill someone, you should do it more beautifully
"The reason for being your guarantor? Is that the question you want to ask?" Yunlou looked at Li Xiaogou in surprise.
However, the questioner's expression was even more shocked than Yunlou's. Li Xiaogou muttered, "So there really is such a thing as a guarantor."
He thought the "guarantor" was a fabricated trick...
"Why?" Li Xiaogou asked again unconsciously.
Being his guarantor was obviously a thankless task, and he couldn't think of any need for Yunlou to do so, unless—
No, it's impossible.
The miserable character of "being strict in front of others but silently giving behind the scenes" is too disgusting when applied to Yunlou, and it's completely OOC.
"Whatever weird imagination is going on in your mind, stop it now." Yunlou saw through the inner thoughts of this young man who thought he was mature.
He sighed slightly and pressed his brows tiredly: "Sit down."
It's time to tell this person something.
"You've had contact with the organization in previous missions and are aware of their existence, but I haven't told you the details of this organization."
Yunlou opened a computer document and pushed the computer to him: "Take a look yourself."
I didn't even bother to talk to him. "Paying back" and so on, it turned out to be all imagination...
Despite his complaints, he immediately started reading the document carefully after seeing the confidentiality level marked on the top.
The organization's full name is "The Supernatural Supremacy Organization," and all members share a common belief: "Supernaturals are chosen by heaven, born with a mission. They are saviors, transcending all other living things."
The Special Investigation Bureau was originally established to compete with the organization.
The organization's network of relationships spans the globe, with personnel lurking in all walks of life.
What surprised Li Xiaogou the most was that the members of the organization were not only people with special abilities, but also a considerable number of ordinary people.
"What are these people after? Masochism? Enjoying the pleasure of being inferior to others?" He complained unconsciously.
But what followed quickly answered his doubts.
The organization infiltrates into all walks of life not only to make huge profits, but also to cover up their underground experiments.
For many years, the organization has been secretly conducting genetic experiments with the aim of artificially creating babies with super powers through genetic intervention during pregnancy.
The document ended here, and Li Xiaogou scrolled down several times before confirming this.
Seeing this, Yunlou took back the computer. As if amused by his actions, he chuckled softly, but quickly returned to his businesslike expression: "This is the progress of the previous investigation."
"This time, because of Su Min and Pan Rong's exposure, the investigation report can be updated. You also played a role in this matter, so I brought you out of the police station to show you this confidential investigation report."
“It wasn’t me who did it.”
Yunlou glanced at him, ignoring the dissatisfied murmurs, and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look. He said to him in a calm voice, "Based on the clues at hand, tell me what you think about this genetic experiment."
Is this a test for him?
Li Xiaogou carefully recalled everything that happened after he traveled here, trying to connect them together.
Yunlou did not rush and waited patiently.
Time passes by every second.
About ten minutes later, Li Xiaogou slowly opened his eyes.
"Since the superpowers in the organization consider themselves saviors and believe they are superior to ordinary humans, it is only natural for them to use ordinary humans for experiments when necessary."
Yunlou nodded, motioning him to continue.
"Pan Rong and Su Min are the experimental subjects, and Su Si and I are the results of the experiment. Su Si is the successful result, and I am a failure."
He licked his dry lips and continued under Yunlou's encouraging gaze, "In order to prevent the existence of the experiment from being exposed, after confirming that I didn't have any special abilities, they threw me into the Lingquan Orphanage. That's where we failures are processed."
This idea is out of the blue, but it is the only reasonable explanation.
"Those children adopted under the guise of foreign nationality actually had their organs removed after leaving the country, squeezing out any remaining surplus value. The funds gained were then used to feed back into the organization. This shouldn't have been discovered, but the organization didn't expect the director... to go astray."
Yun Lou raised the corner of his lip. "Very clever. The director really exceeded the organization's expectations. He didn't dispose of all the experimental children according to the procedures. Instead, he quietly erased some of their information and mixed them in with the ordinary children in the orphanage to deceive the public. Then he found an opportunity to eat their brains."
"The reasons the dean gave during his previous interrogation were all false. The real reason he killed people was simple: he had uremia. His condition worsened year by year, and he believed he could no longer wait for the day when the organization's experiments would succeed and he would also gain superpowers, so he embarked on this path."
Li Xiaogou frowned: "He thinks that by eating our brains, he can gain super powers?"
Yunlou's Adam's apple rolled: "Yeah."
"He believed that superpowers were a kind of elemental existence. Even the babies whose experiments failed had superpower elements in their bodies, but the concentration was not high enough."
"So, as long as he eats a certain amount of brains, he can accumulate enough superpower elements and awaken his superpowers?"
Li Xiaogou's expression twisted, and he suddenly felt that the ridicule of "replenish your brain" was a bit of a hellish joke.
He then thought of another important question and raised an eyebrow, "You became my guarantor out of curiosity? Curious that I, a failed experiment, still managed to awaken superpowers?"
Yunlou froze for a moment, then he readily admitted it.
"Yes, I'm curious about you."
"Maybe you don't remember me, but in fact, I have seen you a long time ago."
"Su Min reported Su Si's awakening of superpowers to the Special Investigation Bureau, and I was responsible for the investigation. On the surface, they were just an ordinary loving couple, worried because their son suddenly had superpowers. Whether it was the background check or anything else, everything was flawless. But their evasive gaze when they spoke, and my sixth sense, reminded me that things were not simple."
Recalling his youthful days, Yun Lou smiled. "Back then, I was a workaholic with endless energy. I went to Su Min's house many times. During one of those times, I sensed someone watching us from the dark."
"Then I saw you hiding in the corner."
Dark, hurt, with wet eyes.
Li Xiaogou opened his lips slightly. He had suspected Yunlou for so long, and the truth turned out to be this.
Yunlou looked at him and said, "I'm surprised it didn't grow crooked."
Li Xiaogou was so shocked that he completely ignored Yunlou's cold joke. He finally found his voice and asked with difficulty, "Have you found the reason? Why did I awaken my superpowers?"
He came through time and space with a golden finger and possessed the memories of two worlds. He thought he had a God's perspective and was too proud, thinking that this world was too simple.
"I think so."
Li Xiaogou's heart was in his throat. Could it be that even the secret that he was not his original body was exposed?
"There are many theories about the causes of superpowers. The one I personally agree with most is that people with superpowers are also people with disabilities. Superpowers on one hand often come at the cost of disabilities on another."
Li Xiaogou thought of Sus almost immediately.
Yunlou obviously thought the same thing as him.
"Sus's ability is prophecy. Every time he uses it, the number of white blood cells in his blood decreases significantly. His immune system is now paralyzed."
No wonder Suess got sick like that.
The topic of superpowers and genetic experiments ended here, and Li Xiaogou had no way of telling whether this was all Yunlou knew, or perhaps there were some more terrifying facts yet to be revealed.
"I have already answered your question."
"Tell me about Su Min and Pan Rong. When they died, you were the only eyewitness present. Tell me everything suspicious you saw."
In fact, he did not tell Li Xiaogou all the facts.
The reason why Li Xiaogou was placed in the team and under his own supervision was not only because of his background.
More importantly, he wanted to see where Li Xiaogou's "bottom line" was.
In Huang Binhai's case, when Li Xiaogou could have called the police directly, he chose to expose Huang Binhai in a way that would maximize the damage and used his supernatural powers on Huang Binhai.
This was the second time they met, and the first time Li Xiaogou had met as an adult.
At that time, Li Xiaogou didn't know that he couldn't use his supernatural powers on ordinary people.
So, he gave Li Xiaogou a chance to test himself.
In the case he worked on with Jiang Mu, Li Xiaogou still did not obey his orders 100%, but he also never crossed the line and excessively punished the criminals.
After that, he decided to recruit Li Xiaogou into the team.
He could sense the surging hostility from the boy's casual expression, but the boy was like a beast imprisoned in a cage, never showing his fangs to ordinary people.
So this time, he believed in Li Xiaogou's innocence.
Li Xiaogou's expression was slightly moved: "You really never doubted me?"
Yunlou raised an eyebrow: "You are too sentimental tonight. I just think that if you want to kill someone, you should do it more beautifully."
Li Xiaogou chuckled. How could this not be considered trust?
Back to the topic.
Li Xiaogou restrained his smile and said seriously: "My ability has been upgraded. Now I can eat the melons of related people."
"On the top floor, I used my powers on both Su Min and Pan Rong. There's nothing new about them, but—" His eyes lit up, "They have a common connection, a woman named Anna."
"I've never seen that woman's face before." He raised his head and looked at Yun Lou, "But she feels very familiar to me, very much like the woman I met at Jiang Cheng and Cheng Man's wedding."
"Mysterious and powerful."
Yunlou's expression also grew serious. He thought for a moment and asked, "Did the woman you saw while eating melons have any special habits?"
Li Xiaogou raised his arm, palm facing up, and his five fingers twitched a few times as if unconsciously.
"Her fingers always do that."
"Anna..." Yunlou muttered to himself, and after a while a smile appeared on his face. "The person you saw should be one of the captains of the organization, known as the Puppet Master. His special ability is to control others with silk threads."
"If it's her, then it can explain the abnormalities that happened to Su Min and Pan Rong."
"Su Min and Pan Rong were going to tell me why the organization had been hunting me. The Special Investigation Bureau already knew about the genetic experiment, so why would the organization send a captain to kill and silence me?" Li Xiaogou tried to sort it out. "Unless, Su Min and Pan Rong know some secrets that the Special Investigation Bureau doesn't know yet."
Although he almost ended up in jail, the secrets he learned tonight were enough for him to digest for a long time.
Li Xiaogou not only did not feel tired, but was very excited.
He was about to ask again when Tao Qi suddenly rushed in, forgetting even to knock on the door.
Tao Qi gasped for breath and said, "Captain Yun, the captains of the three teams are blocking us outside, and they all want to capture Li Xiaogou."
