Chapter 209: The Rhythm of Something Big Happening
Death is the end of everything, and secrets are always safest in the mouths of the dead.
But if someone could reach the afterlife, that would be another matter.
The Angel Cultist was grabbed by the collar by Yu Sheng. He spent a few seconds to confirm that he had successfully completed the "self-sacrifice" under the control of a large number of monitoring equipment of the Secret Service, and confirmed that he had really stripped his life from this body. Then he spent nearly half a minute to confirm another thing -
Damn, this weird thing that came from nowhere is catching up with me! It’s chasing me to the afterlife!
Perhaps the direction of events was too beyond imagination, even the angel believers who had already put life and death aside were a little confused at this time. The bald man stared at Yu Sheng's eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.
This time, Yu Sheng did not "just play around without asking any questions" like he did last time. He knew that the psychological defenses of the cultist in front of him had actually collapsed, so there was naturally no need to use the same method as last time. Moreover, they were now in the stage of "talking to the dead". He believed that the chaos of the dead would sooner or later overwhelm the mind of this cultist, and any firm belief in keeping secrets would be worthless in the face of unstoppable death - so he simply sat down in front of the other party and looked at the "newly deceased" in front of him with a comfortable and patient attitude.
"You will tell me," he said slowly, "Death is a one-way street, and I am the door you cannot bypass on this road. Although I don't know how you managed to hide a way to commit suicide under the noses of the Secret Service, to be honest, your choice was completely wrong. Now, I have enough patience to wait for you to confess all your secrets."
The angel cultist stared into Yu Sheng's eyes, his body tensed, and a feeling of gradually falling finally and irresistibly surged up. He gradually felt his will begin to fade away, and felt that all the memories in his life were gradually turning into a muddled vortex, and in the deepest part of that vortex... the ultimate death void was watching him calmly.
The void now floated before his eyes, trembling at him, smiling at him, greeting him patiently—
"It's about time... The 'container' you mentioned refers to the children in the orphanage, right?"
An empty echo came from the void of death, piercing the deepest part of the cultist's memory.
But suddenly, an illusory cry of a baby pierced the veil of death and entangled the last of the angel's followers' minds.
Yu Sheng frowned, and at the moment when the illusory crying sounded, he saw a calm and joyful smile emerge on the face of the angel believer. The smile seemed to relax, and then, the body slowly and with difficulty raised its right hand towards him.
The other party gave him the middle finger.
"The Eternal Lord has come to meet me..."
Yu Sheng stood up suddenly, and then the colors of the real dimension instantly filled his vision again. The angel cultist was dead, and his lifeless body fell to the ground. There was no longer any secret worth exploring in the body.
Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the cell, and the heavy alloy gate opened quickly, and Song Cheng and his men appeared in front of Yu Sheng.
The time of "talking with the dead" was only a moment in the real dimension. Song Cheng rushed here immediately after the death of the angel cultist in the cell. He looked at the cultist who had fallen to the ground, and then glanced at Yu Sheng whose face was gloomy. He was a little confused about the situation for a moment.
"He ran away," Yu Sheng finally let out a long sigh, pointing at the bald man's body on the ground, "This guy actually relied on his last bit of piety to 'feed' himself to his master, but... I still got some useful information."
More than ten minutes later, Yu Sheng brought Irene and Hu Li to Song Cheng's office, and told the action team leader the information he had heard from the angel believer.
"Container... container for angels to descend..." Song Cheng's eyebrows were twisted into two knots. "If the container that guy mentioned is really a member of the 'fairy tale', then the situation is very dangerous. These cultists are sacrificing themselves at this time, which means that a certain 'time' is really approaching, but we don't even know the characteristics of the 'container' they are talking about. Who will it be... those dozens of children..."
However, what surprised Song Cheng was that Yu Sheng's attitude at this time was rather subtle.
"If he really is a member of the 'Fairy Tale' organization, then perhaps the problem can still be controlled."
A trace of doubt appeared on Song Cheng's face: "Why do you say that?"
Yu Sheng spread his hands and said, "Because I have 'protected' all the members of the 'Fairy Tale' organization. Today, from those who are five or six years old to those who are almost adults, I have protected them all."
Song Cheng: “……?”
"It's hard for me to explain the specific principle to you. You can think of it as me applying a soul emergency shelter effect to all the 'Fairy Tale' members. Once they are severely impacted in the 'Fairy Tale' subset - such as their spirits being polluted or encountering a threat of consciousness death - their minds will be immediately transferred to a safe place," Yu Sheng said slowly, "You can think of this as a kind of 'life-saving teleportation' on a spiritual level."
Song Cheng stared into Yu Sheng's eyes, as if to confirm whether what the "person" in front of him said was true. Just as he was about to open his mouth to confirm some details, the computer screen on the table suddenly lit up.
Baili Qing's always cold face appeared on the screen, looking at Yu Sheng.
"I don't want to explore your secrets. I just want to know how effective this 'shelter' you mentioned is."
Obviously, everything that happened in this headquarters building did not escape the director's eyes.
Yu Sheng was not surprised by Baili Qing's appearance. He just lowered his head and thought for a while before raising his eyes and saying seriously: "If we only look at it from the perspective of 'protecting the mind', the effectiveness should be 100% - we have already done the test."
"But you're still not completely sure, right?" Baili Qing stared into Yu Sheng's eyes quietly. Those faded pupils seemed to be able to see through people's hearts directly. "You seem to be worried about something else."
"...Yes," Yu Sheng realized that he probably couldn't hide it from the female director, so he nodded calmly, "I am very confident in the effect of the 'shelter' I prepared for those children, but we are not sure what the process of the 'coming' of the dark angel is. What if it is not mental pollution? What if it is something more advanced than mental pollution? "And the reaction of the angel believer when he was dying was also very strange... I mean when the dead were talking. I asked him if the 'container' referred to the children in the orphanage. He didn't answer me at the time, but in his last smile, in addition to relief, there seemed to be a little sarcasm... This sarcasm made people suspicious. "
Yu Sheng expressed all his concerns in one breath, then he let out a long breath, looked at Baili Qing on the screen, and waited for the other party's judgment.
Baili Qing in the communication interface just sat there motionless, her icy face showing no change in expression, and it even seemed as if the network was stuck.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But just when Yu Sheng really began to doubt whether this thing was stuck, the director suddenly spoke up: "In any case, the first priority is to prevent the Dark Angel from 'coming' to the real world. We should consider isolating and protecting all the 'Fairy Tale' members. Since you are worried that the 'shelter' you have given them is not effective enough, then add a few more layers of protection."
Song Cheng frowned and thought, and he hesitated when he heard this: "Transfer the children to the Secret Service's holding facility first? Or let them live in a special floor first? 'Quiet Town' might work..."
"The essence of 'Quiet Town' is a foreign land. Living there for a long time will have an impact on people's spirits. The children are still young, and it is not good for them to live there for a long time." Baili Qing shook his head seriously. "Now we cannot be sure when 'Advent' will happen and how long it will last. We need more alternative plans."
"...Then we'll go to the sixth containment area. The environment there is pretty good, and the physical 'caretakers' can give classes to the children. And we don't have to worry about the 'caretakers' running around. The 'parents' in Tonghua are all pretty good fighters."
"It's a plan that can be considered..."
Yu Sheng listened to Baili Qing and Song Cheng discussing the plan to transfer all the children in the orphanage to some shelter facilities. Halfway through, he couldn't help but speak up: "Wait, wait, don't rush to decide. You should listen to the opinions of the parties involved. Little Red Riding Hood and her parents may not agree. And then again... don't forget that the Secret Service has tried to put the children of "fairy tales" together for protection in history, and what happened at that time was not small."
When Song Cheng heard this, his brows twisted again and he sucked his teeth in worry.
"Of course I remember this, but the situation has come to this point - the dark angel may come, and the vessel of the coming is almost 100% a child in the 'fairy tale'. You also said that the 'shelter' you gave them may not be able to prevent the angel from coming, and the attitude of the cultist was so weird when he died..."
Song Cheng was mumbling when Irene, who was sitting next to him, started to mutter, "Listen, the elements of 'something big' are almost complete. If it were a movie, it would be time for the BGM to start playing."
Yu Sheng raised his hand and poked Irene on the forehead, then looked at Song Cheng and Baili Qing on the screen seriously.
"First of all, we need to discuss this matter with Little Red Riding Hood and the others. After all, they know the situation inside the Fairy Tale organization best. They need to find out who has been abnormal recently and who might be the 'container'. Otherwise, blindly transferring people won't solve the problem. Secondly, even if we really need to transfer the children in the orphanage, you are not the only one with a plan - I also have one..."
