Chapter 117 Chapter 117
Standing in Luo Xunfei's recollection of memory, what she can see is basically the world from Luo Xunfei's perspective.
So she saw that the disaster happened on an ordinary afternoon.
It was normal, as peaceful as every afternoon before.
That day, Luo Xunfei was on duty in the laboratory department as usual. At 2:30 p.m., the person in charge of afternoon tea in the office began asking everyone what they wanted to drink. After asking the department director, he turned around and knocked on his office door.
"Director Luo, would you like some lemon tea this afternoon?"
Luo Xunfei looked up at the words and peered through the office window blinds at the busy figures outside. He sighed and said, "Let's buy everyone some coffee and some snacks and cakes. I'll pay for it."
The Black Tower has been very busy in recent days.
Especially the security center, special service department, their inspection department, and the guide center downstairs.
Just as the person in charge of afternoon tea left, Bai Yizhui, one of the persons in charge of the guide center, called.
Luo Xunfei answered the phone: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yizhu sighed on the other end of the line, "What else can we do? An hour ago, another dozen or so sentries came in with unusual symptoms. I've already had their blood drawn, and the samples have been sent to your laboratory. Please expedite it. A copy of the results needs to be sent to the Security Center. Old Wang is anxiously awaiting them."
As small white spots surfaced across the country, the most obvious manifestation was the abnormal symptoms that appeared on the sentries in various places.
Symptoms may be mild, such as dizziness and headache, or complicated mood, confusion of the five senses, and auditory and visual hallucinations.
Those with severe symptoms may become mad and indiscriminately attack people around them, or even faint and fall into a deep sleep.
Luo Xunfei shook his head, it would be useless to report it.
It will take at least one to two months from producing the analysis report, to developing the antidote, to confirming the safety of clinical drug use, and finally to mass production.
Who can afford to wait such a long time?
No one can afford to waste time.
I can't afford to gamble.
Thinking of this, Luo Xunfei suddenly felt deeply uneasy.
I always feel that now is not the worst time.
It seemed like something worse was waiting for them in the future.
He recalled Xia Meng's cold, indifferent, desperate and sad eyes in his memory.
It seemed that everything that was happening right now could be traced in those eyes.
She seemed to have seen through something a long time ago.
Did she know all this would happen?
Luo Xunfei couldn't help but stand up and quickly walked towards the elevator.
He planned to talk to Wang Xiangyi about Xia Meng again.
The elevator had just reached the floor of the Special Service Center. The elevator door opened and a figure passed by like the wind.
The man didn't even take the elevator. He climbed over the railing and jumped down from the height of dozens of floors without blinking.
At the same time, Wang Xiangyi's voice roared from the direction of his office: "Li Zhou!! Are you crazy??? Come back here!!!"
Luo Xunfei quickened his pace and walked to the door of Wang Xiangyi's office: "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiangyi was so angry at Li Zhou that he was fuming. He was already in a state of panic, and now he felt even more dizzy.
Wang Xiangyi was so angry that he almost blurted out, "He said he was going to find Herman and get Xia Meng back. Is he crazy?"
Now, who in the Beijing Tower doesn’t know that Xia Meng is the spy planted by the headquarters in Beijing?
Who doesn’t know that Xia Meng stabbed them in the back?
At this critical juncture, Li Zhou was still clamoring to find her.
He didn't even doubt her for a moment.
He doesn't even want to do superficial work.
Luo Xunfei asked calmly, "Don't you believe her?"
Wang Xiangyi didn't answer.
In fact, he also tended to believe Xia Meng.
He believed that Xia Meng and Herman were not the same kind of people.
However, even if he believes it, without solid evidence, he cannot openly express his stance in his position, as that would be biased and difficult to convince the public.
The cell phone suddenly rang.
Wang Xiangyi glanced at the name of the caller and quickly picked up the phone: "Fang Xiao, what's going on? Can you catch up with him?"
Su Fangxiao's voice echoed over the whistling wind, "We can barely keep up. Herman and Xia Meng should still be hiding around Beijing. The Sky Rift has cooled down, so they can't leave China for the time being."
Su Fangxiao is an expert at tracking.
Wang Xiangyi had already made arrangements. If Li Zhou went after someone regardless of the consequences, she had to follow him and not lose track of him.
To prevent Li Zhou from causing an unmanageable situation.
…
Half an hour later, Su Fangxiao sent another message.
The person was still lost.
Luo Xunfei was not surprised.
Li Zhou's skills and abilities are far superior to Su Fangxiao's, so it is not difficult for him to shake off his tail.
But after another hour, there was new progress on Su Fangxiao's side.
She discovered traces of a fight between Li Zhou and Hermann in a nature reserve in the suburbs.
The scene was in a mess, with huge trees falling, rocks collapsing, and blood splattered everywhere.
The scene was filled with the strong smell of mental bombardment.
Su Fangxiao's tone was filled with shock as he reported, "...The concentration of residual spiritual energy at the scene is too high for the sentries to approach. Captain Wang, I suggest we ask the guide colleagues from the laboratory to come over."
Luo Xunfei is in Wang Xiangyi's office.
Hearing this, he stood up and said, "I'll go."
Wang Xiangyi was a little surprised.
Luo Xunfei is a homebody and doesn't like to go out on weekdays.
Also because his special ability is to look back, * it is basically not his turn to go out on field missions.
Wang Xiangyi made a joke out of a bitter experience: "I never thought you would take the initiative to ask to go on field work one day."
Luo Xunfei lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yes, I was asked to do so."
Wang Xiangyi didn't hear clearly: "Huh? What?"
Luo Xunfei: "Nothing."
Then Luo Xunfei went to the location marked by Su Fangxiao alone.
When they arrived at the place, Su Fangxiao originally wanted to go in with him to protect him, but Luo Xunfei raised his hand to stop him: "You don't have to go in with me. The spiritual power in there is too strong. You can't bear it and it will be easily affected."
So Su Fangxiao stopped three hundred meters away and said, "I'll wait for you here. Contact me if you need anything."
Luo Xunfei nodded and walked into the ruins of the battle alone.
Deep in the nature reserve, a villa was built at some unknown time.
At this time, the villa was reduced to ruins.
There was blood everywhere.
There are Li Zhou's and Hermann's.
However, the three of them are now missing.
Luo Xunfei found a place that looked like a mixture of two types of bloodstains and used backtracking on the bloodstains.
Thus, the scene of the great battle not long ago unfolded before his eyes little by little.
Herman originally hid here with Xia Meng.
Li Zhou followed him and Hermann had no way to avoid him and could only fight.
Both of them were targeting Xia Meng, so they just had a big fight.
In the end, Hermann was seriously injured and fled in embarrassment.
Li Zhou wasn't much better, but he won in the end.
Xia Meng stayed and disappeared with Li Zhou.
Luo Xunfei withdrew his fingers that had touched the blood and ended his recollection.
Xia Meng was standing in Luo Xunfei's memory and should have only seen everything he saw.
But at this moment, she vaguely remembered something.
It was as if several more memories suddenly appeared in my mind.
There is a scene where Herman and Li Zhou fight with all their might.
There is also a scene where she stands in front of the unconscious Li Zhou.
There is also a scene where she takes the injured Li Zhou away.
Maybe... the recollection that Luo Xunfei had used on her before worked again, and took her to continue looking at the remaining memories.
Or maybe... she herself was slowly beginning to remember something.
Many memories flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.
The final scene was that she took him to a place where no one could find him to recuperate.
The place is located deep in the mountains and is sparsely populated. There is a natural hot spring halfway up the mountain and a small hunting lodge next to it.
The hunting house was built by Li Zhou.
Once when they were on a mission, he insisted on bringing her along as if she were offering him a treasure, saying that he wanted to take her to soak in the natural hot springs.
She didn't take a bath that day.
This time, the hot springs became a natural treasure trove for Li Zhou to recuperate from his injuries.
After soaking in the hot spring for a few hours, Li Zhou woke up.
The physical injuries recovered quickly, and Xia Meng tried her best to smooth out the turmoil in her inner spiritual sea.
As for the method of guidance, it naturally cannot be the least efficient one.
She also went into the water.
Most of her body was soaked in the hot spring, facing Li Zhou, holding his face and kissing his pale lips directly.
So, when he opened his eyes... no, it should be said that when he regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was her lips.
And her mental strength is always as calm as a deep pool.
Xia Meng was originally concentrating on counseling.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt a soft tongue sliding along his lips, and he couldn't help but retreat at the touch.
She suddenly opened her eyes and unexpectedly met Li Zhou's eyes, which had regained their clarity.
She subconsciously wanted to step away, but he raised his hand and grabbed the back of her neck.
He kissed her hard, but without further offense, he quickly let go.
He looked at her straight in the eyes.
In the hot spring, the steam was thick and his whole body was wet, which made his eyes look especially wet.
"Xia Meng." His breathing couldn't help but become heavier, but the tone of his voice when he said her name was still gentle.
"……Why?"
Xia Meng lowered her eyes and tried to stand up and move away, but he grabbed her wrist.
Li Zhou couldn't help but ask, "When Herman framed you, why didn't you explain? Instead, you took the blame without saying a word? Did you have any other plans?"
Lorenzo and the headquarters had already run away when they realized that Hermann had ulterior motives.
In order to clear himself before running away, he not only took the initiative to draw a line between himself and Herman, but even stepped on him a few times.
He didn't even let Xia Meng go, and took the initiative to expose the fact that she and Herman had known each other for a long time.
Now Xia Meng is the target of public criticism.
Many people in the Beijing Tower believed that she was Herman's accomplice.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who have had close contact with Xia Meng and are still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
For example, Wang Xiangyi, Su Fangxiao, Zhou Qi and Luo Xunfei, they felt that Xia Meng was not that kind of person, but at the same time they found it difficult to explain what was happening before their eyes and could only remain silent.
Only Li Zhou made it clear from the first moment that he didn't believe it.
He didn't believe Xia Meng would betray him.
Xia Meng slowly raised her eyes.
"...I need to confirm what he wants to do."
Li Zhou's fingers rested on her wrist, her pulse was steady, she was not lying.
Li Zhou asked: "Now, are you sure?"
Xia Meng nodded: "I think I know."
Li Zhou: "What is it?"
Xia Meng sighed softly: "He wants to... destroy everyone."
Li Zhou was stunned: "What do you mean by destroying everyone...?"
Xia Meng: "Sentinels, guides, ordinary humans, everything in this world."
He was born without being treated well, and was born to be pushed into the dirty mud.
Then why can other people in this world live a peaceful and beautiful life?
Nothing can stay clean in the mud.
His heart had long been soaked in black.
After listening to this, Li Zhou hesitated for a long time to speak.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
He didn't care what kind of darkness and injustice Hermann had suffered, he only cared about her safety.
"Then why did Herman insist on taking you away?"
Xia Meng: "He doesn't trust me, but he has to need me."
She lowered her eyes to stare at her fingertips, which were slightly wrinkled by the hot spring water, and said, "In this world, there is no one more suitable to be his guide than me."
The next second, Li Zhou grabbed her fingertips.
He squeezed his five fingers into hers and interlocked them.
She looked up in surprise.
Meeting Li Zhou's firm gaze.
"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you again. I will definitely protect you."
He assured her solemnly.
Xia Meng couldn't help but be moved and looked at him in a daze.
In an instant, many scenes of their acquaintance emerged before her eyes.
In her memory, he always showed her his brightest and most positive side.
Care for her and protect her without hesitation.
How could she be so lucky...to meet such a good person?
In the hot spring, the water ripples and the steam rises.
The two of them soaked in the hot spring water, their bodies pressed against each other.
The next moment, Xia Meng restrained some of her thoughts.
She hummed softly, trying to pull her hand out while standing up.
Just as he moved, Li Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
The face and ears quickly become congested.
He grabbed her, preventing her from getting up, and quietly moved her legs apart, saying sheepishly, "...that...I didn't mean to do that."
Xia Meng reacted quickly.
He did react.
She froze.
"Help..." Li Zhou shyly turned his eyes away and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I really didn't have any other ideas."
This is really inappropriate.
But his physiological liking was not something he could control.
Xia Meng was stiff for a while, then slowly relaxed.
Okay.
That's fine.
Why not take this opportunity to remove the time bomb that Herman secretly planted in his body in the past?
The people at the Beijing Tower only knew that there was something wrong with the small white piece.
But I don’t know where the problem lies.
This time when she returned to Hermann, she took the opportunity to find out a lot about him.
Hermann is indeed the mastermind behind the White Night Organization.
The small white tablet was just a test product for him to deceive others.
His real purpose is actually to guide Su.
The ingredients of the Guide Su product and the Xiaobai tablets are actually almost the same.
The biggest difference is probably... the concentration of his blood.
Yes.
The little white piece and the guide Suli were both stained with his blood.
Even the smallest amount can produce a huge effect when accumulated over time.
Over the years, with the convenience of his headquarters, he has infiltrated to varying degrees almost all laboratories and factories around the world that produce guide agent injections and tablets.
The small white piece is just a plank road built by Mingxiu.
The guide Su Cai was his secret way to Chencang.
Therefore, whether it is the sentinel who eats the small white tablets or uses the guide element, the final result is the same.
No one can escape this devastating disaster.
Over the years, no one knew how deep and far he had secretly expanded his roots.
In the years before he met her, Li Zhou had been using the guide element injections specially customized by the Black Tower.
The dosage was even deliberately increased by someone with ulterior motives.
Hermann's blood has become seeds planted in Li Zhou's spiritual sea.
Just wait until the critical moment and Herman will detonate it.
Then, completely annihilate everything.
Thinking of this, Xia Meng took a deep breath.
It is not easy to remove the "time bombs" hidden in the depths of his spiritual sea for many years.
Simple superficial guidance is not possible.
She raised her eyes and saw Li Zhou, whose face was flushed with shyness and self-blame, and his whole body was as red as a cooked shrimp.
It's so cramped.
She couldn't help but laugh silently.
She reached out and cupped his face, kissing him slowly again.
It was rare for her to take the initiative. Li Zhou was frightened and dared not move.
After a while, when Xia Meng ended the long kiss, he still looked at her with confused eyes, not understanding why she suddenly took the initiative: "You...what's wrong with you..."
Xia Meng tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said a little heartlessly, "Maybe he's come to terms with it and thinks you're actually quite good."
No, I should say, he's very good. Very good.
How lucky she was to meet such a person.
Never tire of illuminating her.
It finally gave her the courage to fight against the forces that kept trying to drag her down into the abyss.
Li Zhou slowly opened his eyes in surprise.
There was no time to confirm her feelings, and she kissed me again the next second.
The water in the hot spring is rippling.
Two overlapping figures in the water float up and down.
Not long after, Li Zhou picked her up and walked towards the hunting house step by step, leaving wet footprints amid the sound of splashing water.
