Chapter 396 Want to Really Live?
The sky in Shenzhen and Hong Kong is not good.
It's not because the blue sky and white clouds are not pure enough, but because the iron pipes above the head come into view first, as well as the mottled walls and air corridors, the clothes hanging everywhere and the advertising lights that don't match the neatness at all. It took only a few seconds to look up before it would hang down.
Occasionally, there may be a few places where people can look up at the sky without any scruples, but the burden in their hearts makes people unable to straighten their backs.
Along the way, Zhu Jue saw people rushing by with their heads bowed everywhere. Compared with other places in the Heywood community, the people here are equally busy, but there are few smiles on their faces. On the contrary, grinning all the year round, welcoming the humble appearance of sending you off, you can't feel the slightest sincerity from the heart, as if it's just a piece of human skin tissue that is inevitably wrinkled due to overuse.
"arrive."
The vehicle drove into a community, and Suzi randomly found an open space to stop, turned around and said.
"It's a nice place."
After getting out of the car, Zhu Jue looked up at the sky above the courtyard in the center of the residential building,
"It's much better than your basement."
The Shenzhen-Hong Kong District is originally a part of the Heywood District, so there are quite a few similar features in the residential buildings, such as the hollow community residential building structure, but the houses here are obviously different from those in the Heywood District. The gap of decades can be seen simply from the fact that the exterior is still covered with wall ash instead of steel plates.
Of course, what Zhu Jue cannot deny is that he finds this style of house more pleasing to the eye.
"This is the restaurant's stronghold in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong District a long time ago, and the conditions in all aspects are naturally better. Follow me, and be careful not to reveal your identity."
It was still Suzi who led the way, and entered the residential building along the corridor next to it. The stronghold here was not on the ground floor, but on the top of the tallest building.
"You have chosen such a high place, if you are discovered, can you still run?"
Standing in the elevator, Zhu Jue's eyes fell on the dark sticky stains on the corners and the small advertisements plastered on the elevator door, and asked a little strangely.
"Nearly 65% of the 66th and 30.00th floors are rooms that we have rented or bought through various methods. Anyway, the top floor can ensure that no residents accidentally find something wrong. If anyone finds out, we also have The way to deal with it is an internal secret and I cannot tell you."
"30.00%, why not buy them all?"
He stretched out the paw of the wind chime to scratch Xiao Advertisement and pulled it back, and asked subconsciously.
"The funds distributed by restaurants to various regions are very limited. We do not have a monopoly consortium for support, and we have not considered exploiting the public. The nature of the restaurant itself is also destined to prevent us from seeking sponsorship through normal channels, and even have to turn down those properties Unknown funds and manpower."
Looking up at the jumping numbers above, Suzi deliberately emphasized the words "limited funds", and then said,
"Even so, compared to the situation where they were wanted in the entire federation five years ago, the restaurant has already made considerable progress, otherwise we might not even be able to afford the 30.00%."
In the past five years, due to the division of the federal government and the rise of oligarchic consortiums, individual or a small group of interest groups have gradually come to the fore, and the controllers of major super cities have long ceased to be the federal government. The financial oligarchs are busy grabbing profits, so they will naturally relax their siege and arrest of the Yimeng.
This made the federal government have more than enough heart and power, and had to stop some original search and arrest plans when the general environment was not conducive to itself.
After all, compared with these people hiding in the dark, what the major forces need to solve is the imminent problem of spiritual pollution monsters. After all, tax-paying citizens don't care how many "special people" you catch, they are more likely to know The news is that there are no longer spiritual pollution source monsters in the area where I live.
Hey~
The indicator light on the door flickered and sounded crisply, and Suzi stepped out first.
He just turned around the corner of the corridor but was suddenly stopped by Zhu Jue, and he saw a serious face when he turned around.
hum~
A familiar voice in my head.
"Be careful, there are spiritual pollution source monsters nearby!"
Zhu Jue has always been confident in his sensing ability, frowned and said in a low voice.
"what?"
Suzi was suddenly told that a monster appeared near his own stronghold, Suzi was surprised but did not doubt the authenticity of Zhu Jue's words, and quickly grabbed the gun hidden under the coat at his waist,
"Find a way to determine the location of the other party, and I will notify Mr. Fu immediately!"
"The wind chime disappeared, can you feel it?"
With full perception, Zhu Jue was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head to ask Feng Ling, who nodded first, then shook his head.
It also felt the existence of the spiritual pollution source monster just now, but now it has lost the trace of the other party.
Suzi, who was just about to contact Fu Yingxiong, stopped what she was doing, straightened her clothes and asked, "Are you joking?"
Suzi's face didn't turn from embarrassment to anger, she just asked plainly.
"I'm like someone who likes to joke about this kind of thing. I did feel something strange when I got out of the elevator. It was around here, but now it's gone."
Putting his hands back into his pockets, his eyes cycled among the doors lined up in front of him, trying to determine where the fleeting breath came from.
No results.
Suzi didn't stay where she was, but took Zhu Jue to the door of Fu Yingxiong's room quickly, knocked on the door as a signal, and the door was opened immediately.
"Mr. Fu, just now Zhu Jue noticed the information of a monster of spiritual pollution source nearby outside the door."
While walking inside with Zhu Jue, he reported to Fu Yingxionghui.
"Monster, here?"
Hearing Suzi's report, Fu Yingxiong's expression was stunned at first. Looking at Zhu Jue, he realized that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, and immediately said to the two men who were sorting things in the room,
"Go and adjust the camera on the corridor to the hue monitoring mode. I want to know if there are any ordinary residents on the 65th and 66th floors who have mental problems. Once found, they must be cleaned up as soon as possible."
As a relatively unnoticed residential area in Heywood District, Shenzhen-Hong Kong District usually doesn't have any police come to check, but this is only normal. If there are monsters that are sources of mental pollution, the nature will be completely different.
The major super cities have almost zero tolerance towards this kind of horror monster that is not much different from the virus. Once a monster of spiritual pollution appears somewhere, in order to ensure that there is no possibility of a second recurrence, a carpet-like hue investigation and cause Investigations are inevitable.
And this is a relatively common attitude. For example, the law in some super cities is simply to eliminate them all. That is to say, anyone in this area who may be related to the monster of the source of spiritual pollution will be imprisoned until it is confirmed that there is no danger. will be released.
If this area happens to be in a slum, it is very likely that the subsequent actions will be directly omitted, and it will be cleared on the spot instead!
"How's the situation here?"
Suzi has not forgotten her original intention of coming here.
"There have been some unexpected situations, you come in first."
Fu Yingxiong watched the door being closed again, and then opened the inner door.
The living room outside is no different from ordinary people’s house, while the bedroom inside is another scene. Several machines similar to computers in operation are placed in the corner, and people or half-timers sit on the recliners in front of these machines. A young man is lying down.
"You guys like to lie down and work?"
When he entered the stronghold, he saw a person lying on a chair. Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and began to look at the surrounding layout.
Suzi walked forward quickly, first stretched out two fingers to open the opponent's eyelids, stared at the eyeballs for a while, and then said: "He lost consciousness, what's going on?"
Zhu Jue glanced on tiptoe, and found that the man's eyeballs were rolled up, and from his angle, only the whites of his eyes could be seen.
This is not like sleeping!
"Before you came here, he was investigating the recent murders in Rongxia City and some other areas. We found a key piece of information, and then a line of writing suddenly appeared on the screen."
Pointing at the screen in front of him, Fu Yingxiong said hesitantly.
"what?"
"Do you want to know the meaning of life? Do you want to really...live?"
"Pfft~"
Zhu Jue, who had just poured himself a glass of water and drank it, took up half of the table. Fu Yingxiong said the above sentence in a heavy tone, which made him a little unacceptable.
"You can believe this kind of thing, it's all a prank on the Internet."
"No, it's not that simple. The page I just mentioned has appeared all over the world recently. Through intelligence collection, we found that some people are using this website to achieve similar online volunteer recruitment. Once you click on Click the OK button, and it will be defaulted to participate in a certain event immediately. We found that some of the dead who appeared in Rongxia City had surprisingly similar characteristics. Family background and income simply do not allow for such a large-scale body modification!"
Pushing away the unconscious person temporarily, Fu Yingxiong stood in front of the screen and pressed the keyboard. After a while, a large number of pictures and background information of the deceased flashed quickly.
"something wrong!"
Suzi's information analysis ability has always been stronger than this kind of machine. After seeing more than a dozen pictures in succession, she immediately realized something was wrong.
"Among the corpses that have been discovered so far, all the people who have undergone prosthetic transformation are young adults between the ages of 18 and 30. There are a total of 22 people, of which 9 are residents of the poor community of Rongxia City, and the other 13 are It is the people in the slums of several cities around Rongxia City. As Mr. Fu said, these people cannot have enough funds to carry out large-scale prosthetic body transformation. There is only one explanation, that is, someone is behind their backs Behavior. But what is the meaning of this kind of action, let them undergo prosthetic transformation, and then let them die?"
"The real key lies in the interviews with the family members of the deceased. The family members of 10 people said that they had heard the parties talk about this so-called 'want to know the meaning of life' webpage. This should be the case too! "
There is no doubt that the Yimeng has control over the Rongxia City area, and it is precisely because of this power that the Yimeng has collected a large amount of information in a short period of time after the incident happened.
However, the results of these intelligence collections not only did not help solve the problem, but instead cast a thicker layer of fog on the whole incident!
