121 Bracelet
◎Captain◎
Rumble——
The freight train roared past, and the unfinished building fell silent again.
Zhu Ning's demeanor remained unchanged from beginning to end. It seemed as if she was just here for a stroll, and then she calmly delivered a thunderclap.
Xu Meng was the one who was bombarded by her.
Zhu Ning: "I am a defective product of an experiment."
How could someone say this so easily? Xu Meng frowned. Her first reaction was that this was Zhu Ning's plan to confuse her or delay time.
Zhu Ning: "So far, I haven't figured out the meaning of their creation of me."
Is it purely for research purposes? Do they hope to find a way to purify the world through Zhu Ning? Or is this the ultimate goal of human evolution?
Zhu Ning: "I think there's information in Cheng Mofei's employee wristband, so I have to see it."
Zhu Ning stated her reasons and she refused to budge on the condition.
Xu Meng gripped the knife handle tightly, not fully understanding it for a long time. "How do you prove it?"
Zhu Ning has no evidence, so Xu Meng can also say that he is an experimental subject of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
Zhu Ning thought about it, as if thinking about how to prove that she was an experimental subject. Zhu Ning could not use various props to show Xu Meng, because once she used them up, her health points would also be burned out.
Zhu Ning: "How about this?"
Xu Meng's pupils suddenly contracted. As soon as Zhu Ning finished speaking, black mucus spread from the back of her neck. Zhu Ning was wearing a particularly simple white sweater today, so the black mucus was very conspicuous on her body.
The black mucus spread downward along Zhu Ning's skin, came out from the cuffs of his white sweater, and gradually wrapped around the back of Zhu Ning's hand.
When this thing flows, people feel a chill, as if the surrounding air suddenly dropped several degrees.
Cats have a certain premonition of danger. The moment Xu Meng saw the black slime, the warning lights on his body started to sound like crazy, as if he had seen something strange.
This is definitely not an ordinary mutant, this is not a human being at all.
She had always thought that Zhu Ning was a metal-type mutant, and might have other abilities, such as teleportation.
Now it seems that it is not the case at all. She has a parasite? This thing is a part of Zhu Ning?
Zhu Ning tilted his head slightly: "This is the secret of how I killed the queen insect."
The black slime was still crawling on her body, starting from her neck and wrapping around her entire right arm. She looked like a monster, but Zhu Ning's expression was very relaxed, and she gave herself a very sweet smile.
This is the secret of how I killed the queen insect.
What's the difference between this sentence and a threat?
If she could devour the queen insect, she might also be able to eat Xu Meng.
This is the confidence that Zhu Ning has in negotiating. She has revealed her weapons. The so-called peaceful negotiations are when both sides are equally strong.
Xu Meng gritted his teeth and asked, "Why tell me?"
Zhu Ning moved her palms, and the black mucus seemed to have heard the call of its master and moved on her fingertips like a toy.
Zhu Ning raised his eyes to look at her: "I think sincerity is the basis of negotiation, and maybe we can cooperate."
How does the saying go? Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
If sincerity doesn't work, then use the real killer move.
Zhu Ning: "And you're the first one I shared this secret with."
Zhu Ning never told anyone, Song Zhizhang and Lin Xiaofeng didn't know the truth, Xu Meng was the first to know.
Zhu Ning's tone was like that of a good friend, saying, "We have the best relationship, and you are the only one who knows about this."
The tone here is strangely innocent and strangely fitting.
What are you doing? Befriending her?
Xu Meng gritted his teeth, "What if we can't cooperate?"
Zhu Ning felt a little sorry and said, "Then I have no choice but to take action."
The worst outcome is that Zhu Ning and Xu Meng fight to the death, and then Zhu Ning reads Xu Meng's memory to obtain the password and leave.
But she didn't want to go to this point. It would be very hurtful and would also cost her life.
Zhu Ning didn't do much. The first reason was that if she did, it would cost her a lot of health, so she tried not to move if possible.
The second is that she thinks Xu Meng is a good partner.
Xu Meng looked at Zhu Ning, her gaze could even poke two holes in Zhu Ning, but Zhu Ning looked at her openly.
Xu Meng: "Why are you so confident that I won't hurt you?"
If it were Xu Meng, she was an experimental subject of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical and would never expose herself. For safety reasons, she would never take the initiative to tell anyone else in her life.
Once it is known to others, it is equivalent to handing over the weakness to others. It is very easy for Xu Meng to betray Zhu Ning. She only needs to contact Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
Xu Meng doesn't need to take action, as the people who want to attack Zhu Ning may have an organization.
Zhu Ning: "Because I think you are a good person?"
Xu Meng sneered, as if he had heard something funny. "How many people have you fooled with this sentence?"
Xu Meng is not some hot-blooded middle school student with syndrome, and is no longer at the age to believe this statement.
Zhu Ning thought about it and realized that Song Zhizhang was particularly susceptible to this kind of tricks. People like them could only go along with it.
Zhu Ning: "Captain, I'm so sad. How can something that can be solved with words be called a lie?"
She came here sincerely to seek cooperation.
With a click, Xu Meng put away his two swords.
Xu Meng: "I finally understand how Huo Wenxi was persuaded by you."
At that time, Xu Meng was thinking about how to get out of the cleaning center, but Zhu Ning just talked to Huo Wenxi, and Huo Wenxi directly made a mission report on the deserted village.
Why didn't Zhu Ning commit fraud? If she didn't join the cleaning center, she would definitely be the head of a fraud company.
Zhu Ning: "I think this is very efficient. We can exchange information with each other and both sides will win."
Xu Meng can get Zhu Ning's information, and Zhu Ning can get the clues found by Xu Meng.
Xu Meng didn't say anything, and Zhu Ning took it as her consent.
Xu Meng remained silent, so Zhu Ning had to share the information himself.
"I can say it first," Zhu Ning said generously, "after you listen to me, you can consider whether to cooperate or not."
She could feel that Xu Meng was very wary of her, and breaking down a person's vigilance was a very long process.
So far, Zhu Ning has only opened a corner of Xu Meng's heart.
Zhu Ning thought for a while about how to start: "I'm short of money, and I saw a job posting online for the 103rd District Cleaning Center. The salary was pretty good, so I decided to give it a try."
This is a normal choice. Most people enter cleaning centers because of the high remuneration.
Zhu Ning: "After I joined the company, Fang Ying said that Prometheus had chosen me."
Zhu Ning seemed to be reviewing his life.
Xu Meng: "It's normal. Everyone is chosen by Prometheus."
Prometheus can select suitable employees from a vast crowd, and Xu Meng also follows this process.
Zhu Ning: "What happened to the other member of the three-member Cleaner Team before I arrived?"
Xu Meng frowned when she heard this. She had never thought about this issue before and thought that Zhu Ning was assigned randomly.
But ever since Zhu Ning joined their team, Zhu Ning has been extremely high-profile, and Xu Meng can only be high-profile with her.
Xu Meng: "The previous team member was called Zhang Ruo. He retired due to serious mental pollution during a mission. Our team was idle for a month. We didn't receive any missions during that month."
There was nothing strange about this matter. Xu Meng worked as a cleaner to hide his identity. He could not go on the mission without the complete team members. At that time, Xu Meng thought it was a good thing.
Zhu Ning: "I suspect that Prometheus deliberately assigned me to you."
Prometheus must have considered this team in advance, otherwise it would be such a coincidence that their captain happened to be investigating Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
Apart from Zhu Ning and Xu Meng, Li Nianchuan's personality is easy to understand. He has no bad intentions and his personality is not extreme. What he thinks is almost written on his face.
It would take a long time for such a person to notice that something was wrong with Zhu Ning and Xu Meng.
Xu Meng: "If it weren't for you, our team wouldn't be so eye-catching."
Xu Meng became a cleaner in order to live in seclusion in the city. She always keeps a low profile and does not do anything beyond the scope of her ability as a cleaner.
Zhu Ning and Li Nianchuan were trapped in the fishman's contaminated area, and Xu Meng didn't even think about going to help.
Zhu Ning: "I'll just take it as a compliment. Trust the big data algorithm. We're teammates made for each other."
Xu Meng: “…”
Prometheus recommended that they form a team, so Zhu Ning said it was a match made in heaven?
Zhu Ning: "On my first mission, I encountered a contaminated area rating error. It might be related to Prometheus. I'll ignore that for now. Then I went home and got the Tomb Post mission. On the second Tomb Post mission, I entered Experiment No. 777."
Subject No. 777, Zhu Ning hit the key point, this is the origin of everything.
The final place of Cheng Mofei's death.
Zhu Ning: "I didn't know it was an experimental subject at the time, so I went in without knowing what was going on. I was almost killed by the haunted house because Room 777 was a man-made pollutant. There weren't even any traditional pollution sources inside. If I didn't have a talent for metal manipulation, I would have died in there too."
This is also the reason why Xu Meng has not taken action yet. The pollution concentration of experimental subject No. 777 is not high, but it is very strange, and this experimental subject belongs to Chu Qing.
Once you start, you will be exposed to the cleaning center.
Except for Zhu Ning who accidentally entered under the guidance of Prometheus, no one wanted to die.
Moreover, the reason why Zhu Ning was able to come out alive was because Prometheus had determined in advance that she had an absolute talent for metal manipulation.
Zhu Ning took out Cheng Mofei's employee bracelet from her pocket. The cold bracelet exuded a metallic luster. She had studied this bracelet many times and it was almost polished to a patina.
Xu Meng was stunned when he saw the bracelet, as if he was trying to restrain the urge to snatch it from Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning: "I got Cheng Mofei's employee wristband from Subject 777. I don't know the password, but he turned on visitor mode, and I can see a video."
Zhu Ning placed his finger close to the edge of the bracelet, a light came on, and the employee bracelet opened.
"Hello," Cheng Mofei's voice rang out. "I don't know who you are. I hope you are from the cleaning center..."
Zhu Ning opened the video without any expectation. Xu Meng's first reaction was to turn her head away. She didn't dare to look.
She clenched her fists at her sides, using so much force that it seemed as if she was going to break her fingers.
She hadn't heard Cheng Mofei's voice for a long time.
Zhu Ning and Xu Meng didn't say anything. In the video, Cheng Mofei had blood on his abdomen and was avoiding being chased.
This was the voice of his teammate from nine years ago.
Zhu Ning had heard every one of his last words over and over again many times. Now the listener became Xu Meng. Zhu Ning saw that Xu Meng was trembling.
"...Please find the bracelet and handle the relevant information yourself. It belongs to you now. Good luck."
After Cheng Mofei finished his last sentence, there were gunshots, the screen went out, and the video ended.
The shadow of death weighed heavily on them, and no one spoke for a long time, as if they were reliving Cheng Mofei's death.
"What happened to him in the end?" Xu Meng took a deep breath. This was the first time Xu Meng revealed some personal emotions since Zhu Ning told the story.
Zhu Ning was the last person to see Cheng Mofei.
Zhu Ning paused and decided to tell the truth: "Not very good, he turned into a snail man."
Zhu Ning still remembered what Cheng Mofei looked like. He was carrying a snail shell on his back. The heavy shell pressed him down and he couldn't stand up. His originally handsome face was swollen, like a swollen corpse, with sticky water stains on it.
It was because Zhu Ning later saw what Cheng Mofei looked like in person that he felt sorry for him.
Zhu Ning just felt it was a pity, but Xu Meng should be even more heartbroken because Xu Meng was the one who got along with Cheng Mofei.
They may have gone on many missions together, experienced life and death, understood each other, and cleaned up each other's messes.
They may also have a private relationship. The entire Cheetah team will go out for dinner together. They also get along well in private and know each other's private lives very well.
Whoever gets rich today will treat everyone else, and whoever gets into trouble today will be helped out by the rest of the people.
The five members of the Cheetah team are as close as brothers and sisters.
The Cheetahs are the elite team of the Clean Center, consistently ranking first in the standings. They have been in and out of Class A and above polluted areas, setting records in the Clean Center's history and breaking all sorts of conventions.
If Zhu Ning is considered a small star now, then the Cheetah team back then was a star team.
Everyone knows them, and everyone also knows that the captain of the Cheetah Team is called Xu Meng. His name is very cute, he fights very fiercely, and his personality is very cold.
Only with Xu Meng's leadership can the team maintain the top spot in the standings.
Xie Jiazu sometimes likes to joke about Xu Meng's name, "Captain Mengmeng."
"Get lost." Xu Meng felt that Xie Jiazu was particularly annoying.
Xu Meng was not so low-key at that time, but she was not a talkative person by nature.
But Xu Meng will be very comfortable in the Cheetah team, she will show more, which is completely different from now.
"team leader."
Xu Meng thought of Cheng Mofei standing in front of him. He was obviously very tall and strong, over 1.9 meters tall, like a big fool. He was decisive when he was on a mission, but he became very shy when he met Xu Meng.
Cheng Mofei lowered his head, his ears reddening, and called her softly, "Captain."
Xu Meng could think of these two words with his eyes closed.
He didn't say anything out of line, he just said, Captain.
"Why do you keep calling me captain? Just say what you want to say!" Xie Jiazu added fuel to the fire with ill intentions.
Cheng Mofei was speechless and couldn't say a word.
Later, the Cheetah Team received a task to investigate a certain incident. For some reason, it was not handed over to the investigation team but to the Cheetah Team instead.
This mission is very special and has a very high confidentiality index. At the beginning, the other team members had no idea about the content of the mission. They only knew that the mission would last for one month, but the mission rewards were extremely high. In addition to personal rewards, the team's points would be multiplied tenfold regardless of success or failure.
They all felt that the mission was accomplished, and Cheng Mofei would either become rich overnight or be promoted to a leadership position.
All team members are looking forward to Cheng Mofei's career reaching new heights.
Nine years ago, they were so naive, they knew nothing and were fooled by their superiors.
Before leaving, Cheng Mofei said to himself, "Captain, wait for me to come back."
Xu Meng said okay. She was a little aware that something was wrong at that time, and her intuition was racing.
She didn't know what was wrong. She wanted to shout for Cheng Mofei to come back, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out. It was as if something was strangling her throat.
Later, Xu Meng could only watch Cheng Mofei get into the car.
That was the last time she saw Cheng Mofei.
Nine years have passed, and the cleaning center has undergone a major change. The Cheetah Team is no longer known to anyone, and the Cheetah Team that Xu Meng led has not even left a team name.
Xu Meng lowered his head as another truck drove past overhead, its rumbling sound drowning out the unfinished building.
Xu Meng's expression was hidden in the shadows. Zhu Ning couldn't guess what Xu Meng was thinking. He only saw the golden eyes flashing, and finally like a bright lamp slowly going out.
Xu Meng didn't cry, she just... extinguished the light in her pupils.
