Chapter 112 Chapter 112
Xia Meng did not go back with Li Zhou.
In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, she walked from the other side of the corridor.
As I turned the corner, a voice suddenly sounded beside me.
"Did you coax him into submission so quickly?"
Xia Meng glanced sideways and met Mai Xi's face.
Mai Xi leaned against the wall at the corner with her arms folded, lowered her head slightly, and raised her eyes to look at her.
Mai Xi: "I thought Herman's performance downstairs had already made Li Zhou give up. It seems that I underestimated him... No, I should say, I underestimated you, right?"
She lowered her voice deliberately for the last sentence.
Xia Meng's eyes flickered.
It seems that Mai Xi is not as simple and straightforward as she appears.
In the end, Li Zhou was unable to completely hide the truth from her eyes and ears.
Too.
How can life be simple for someone who comes out of an orphanage?
Xia Meng paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What exactly does Herman want to do?"
Mai Xi smiled faintly: "You think I am Herman's man? And not Mr. Lorenzo's man?"
Xia Meng looked at her silently.
The people in the welfare home should all be Lorenzo's people.
Over the years, Hermann secretly developed some of them into his own confidants.
He is taking advantage of Lorenzo's momentum to spread his roots throughout the headquarters and even various Black Tower branches around the world.
The only one who didn't see through it was probably Lorenzo himself.
He may still naively believe that Hermann is a dog who is devoted to him.
Xia Meng: "If you weren't his man, he would have come a long time ago."
Hermann would not allow her to escape his control.
Not even a moment will allow it.
Xia Meng knew his twisted possessiveness.
With Mai Xi here watching over her, he didn't need to rush over and could arrange other things step by step first.
Therefore, Xia Meng felt a little uneasy.
The fact that Hermann was able to persuade Lorenzo to come to China this time shows that he had already made some arrangements.
He must be trying to do something.
Xia Meng pursed her lips solemnly.
Herman is a venomous snake.
Once he strikes his target, he will kill it with one strike.
His target this time is Li Zhou.
I just don't know what method he will use to deal with Li Zhou.
And...what exactly does he want to do to Li Zhou?
Mai Xi asked, "What about you? Are you still with Herman? Or have you switched sides to Li Zhou?"
Xia Meng smiled quietly.
She tilted her head, suddenly took two steps towards Mai Xi, raised her hand, hooked Mai Xi's chin, and said softly: "Don't think you can see through me."
Xia Meng's sudden approach made Mai Xi subconsciously freeze.
In an instant, she felt a dangerous breath following the finger on her chin and strangling her throat.
It feels very oppressive.
Mai Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
She didn't expect that Xia Meng could release such a strong pressure.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.
In her impression, Xia Meng was always low-key and cold, as if she was not interested in anything.
For the first time in his life, Mai Xi felt the undisguised murderous intent from Xia Meng's eyes and actions.
Maxie bounced back suddenly.
It felt like an electric shock.
So Xia Meng's fingers, which were originally pressing against her chin, just stayed in the air.
Xia Meng raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her index finger with the tip of her thumb. A flash of blue light of mental power appeared on the fingertip.
She smiled coldly: "If you are smart, stay away from me."
After saying that, she turned and left calmly.
Mai Xi was left standing there alone, and her legs went weak as she sat down on the ground.
She held her pounding heart with lingering fear: "How terrible..."
Why could a guide reveal such terrifying murderous intent?
It was as if she could easily crush herself with just a flick of her fingers.
Xia Meng took a short detour down the corridor.
Unexpectedly, I met someone again.
It’s Wang Xiangyi.
Wang Xiangyi seemed to have just finished a phone call with someone and had just put down his phone. When he looked up, their eyes met.
He nodded at Xia Meng, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and waved at her, motioning her to come over.
Xia Meng walked up to him with a normal expression.
"Captain Wang, is there something wrong?"
Wang Xiangyi hesitated for a few seconds and sighed before saying anything.
He had guessed that Xia Meng's background was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be so unusual.
Wang Xiangyi was speechless for a moment.
"Well..." Wang Xiangyi asked somewhat awkwardly, "I want to ask, are you and Mr. Dreiser... old acquaintances?"
Xia Meng raised her eyes, not giving him the chance to beat around the bush and get straight to the point: "Are you asking if he and I are partners?"
Wang Xiangyi coughed and nodded.
Xia Meng thought about it.
How to say it.
She had not officially joined the Black Tower headquarters before and was not considered a formal employee there.
So, nominally, she had no relationship with Hermann.
But it's only in name.
It's just an open secret, everyone knows it.
But in Beijing Tower, she and Li Zhou were open with each other.
Ever since she joined the Seventh Team as an intern, she has always been Li Zhou's only partner.
Whether it is in the team's field records or in the reports after completing the mission, their names are always together.
Xia Meng curled her lips unconsciously, raised her eyes and said, "No."
Wang Xiangyi seemed relieved. "So, when assigning subsequent tasks, we don't need to consider them, right?"
Xia Meng shrugged: "You can arrange it however you want."
Wang Xiangyi was still a little worried: "What if they make a request...?"
Xia Meng smiled and said, "Just tell me, I don't agree. I want to be in the same group with Li Zhou."
Wang Xiangyi was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing too.
He nodded: "I understand, go ahead."
Xia Meng is gone.
A few seconds later, Wang Xiangyi glanced sideways at the corner of the wall: "Don't hide, come out. Are you secretly happy?"
Sure enough, a small piece of clothing appeared in the corner.
Wang Xiangyi walked over and found Li Zhou leaning over there with his arms folded, grinning foolishly.
Wang Xiangyi tutted twice, "You're smiling so smugly. What did they say that made you so upset?"
Li Zhou raised his eyebrows openly: "She already said she wanted to be with me, isn't it okay for me to be proud of it?"
Wang Xiangyi corrected him: "We're just partners, not together! That's a nice thought!"
Li Zhou: "Can't I think about it?"
Wang Xiangyi looked at his bright smile and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
"It's just that..." He still reminded, "That Herman, I think you should be more careful. He must have some feelings for Xia Meng."
Li Zhou: "I know."
…
Xia Meng returned to the meeting room.
The two sides are still exchanging various intelligence.
The huge digital wall in the conference room lists the information provided by the headquarters.
The name of the target gang is Bai Ye.
This is a very mysterious terrorist group. Before this year, they were active in Europe and the United States for many years, trafficking people, drugs, and even involved in various underground trade networks. And it is certain that the main members of this group are all special humans.
China has strict control, and the White Night organization has not extended its tentacles into the country, so Beijing Tower has almost no knowledge of White Night.
"So, how did you know that Bai Ye's target this time was China?"
Someone from the Beijing Tower asked.
The person in charge of the explanation at the headquarters was Hermann.
Hearing this, Herman, standing in front of the digital wall, looked back and said, "Because we accidentally captured the communication information between a peripheral member of Bai Ye and others, we can confirm that the main members of Bai Ye should have entered China."
Someone immediately said, "So, if we just check all the foreign nationals who have entered the country in the past few months, we might be able to catch them?"
This statement is inevitably a bit naive.
Those who want to enter the country have many ways to avoid official inspections.
With so many people entering the country every day and so many ports of entry, how can we check them? Where should we start?
At this time, Wang Xiangyi and Li Zhou returned to the meeting room one after another.
Wang Xiangyi sat down at the other end of the long conference table.
At this time, someone asked: "Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"That's right, it's impossible to screen everyone, right?"
Wang Xiangyi said, "Let's start by investigating their purpose."
Wang Xiangyi is indeed experienced, and his familiar thinking on handling cases was evident as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Let's start from here."
Everyone looked back and found that Li Zhou had arrived in front of the digital wall at some point.
He stood on the other side of the wall and suddenly reached out and pointed to a certain point among the numerous pieces of information.
Everyone looked closely.
Li Zhou pointed to the content related to drugs in the intelligence.
His fingertips pointed at three words: small white tablets.
Little White Film, the most famous "work" of the White Night Organization.
A drug specially designed for Sentinels.
The ingredients of the small white tablets are similar to those of the guide factor, and have similar drainage and purification effects.
But it is only similar and cannot truly achieve the purpose of guidance.
It has a strong hallucinogenic and paralyzing effect on Sentinels, and is highly addictive. Once addicted, it is almost impossible to quit.
China has always strictly controlled and cracked down on drugs, so even if China has the highest density of sentinels, Bai Ye has never been able to extend his network to China.
When Li Zhou said this, someone at the headquarters was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
How can he be so sure?
Li Zhou replied, "Because these little white pieces have already appeared in China."
This happened just in the last one or two months.
Once discovered, it was immediately reported to all Black Tower branches in the country.
So Wang Xiangyi and Li Zhou knew about this.
But at that time they just thought that a new type of drug had appeared on the market, and did not associate it with the White Night Organization in Europe and the United States.
Lorenzo sat at the other end of the long table.
He sat calmly and said, "Are you sure that the ones appearing in China are the small white pieces?"
Wang Xiangyi replied: "I'm afraid it's more than that."
He said solemnly, "We seized a few samples and sent them to the laboratory for analysis. The ingredients are slightly different from the white pills, but the effects... are stronger than the white pills. If anything, it's an upgraded version of the white pills."
This is really bad news.
You know, when the white film first appeared, it almost caused a devastating blow to the whistleblower community in Europe and the United States.
It cannot be controlled and has become a disaster. There is no effective solution so far.
What should I do about this?
The entire conference room couldn't help but become gloomy.
…
…
Xia Meng suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The moment the slightly cool air entered her chest, it choked her and made her internal organs feel tight.
She opened her eyes suddenly.
What meets the eye is a bright light.
She stared blankly at the snow-white light in front of her. After a while, as her vision focused, she slowly realized that she was staring at the snow-white ceiling.
It's dawn.
She was now in the room she and Li Zhou shared.
Wake up, finally wake up.
This time the addiction lasted for an exceptionally long time.
The feeling is also very real.
There were times in between when she felt like she had really become Xia Meng in that world.
Recalling...memories...
Xia Meng sat up a little panicked and raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
It's too real.
It was so real that she couldn't even tell whether it had really happened.
