Chapter 439 The Mystery on the Hospital Rooftop: The True and False Prophets
The Bell 407GXP's turboshaft engine roared deafeningly as it hovered in a textbook-perfect, brutally beautiful manner above the rooftop of the city center hospital's inpatient building.
Without the slightest hesitation, when the helicopter was still two meters above the ground on the rooftop, Lin Chen released the control stick, kicked open the car door, and jumped out.
With a muffled thud, he landed firmly on his feet, his knees slightly bent, dissipating all the impact.
Behind them, the unmanned helicopter, having lost control, spun its rotors wildly and crashed erratically onto the edge of the helipad, emitting a sickening metallic groan as it was completely destroyed.
Lin Chen didn't even glance at it; his gaze was already drawn to the scene on the other side of the rooftop.
Fifteen futuristic, all-black Sikorsky S-76 heavy medical helicopters, like fifteen steel behemoths poised for action, hovered silently atop the Shanghai World Financial Center next to the hospital.
The powerful airflow generated by their rotors even caused debris on the hospital rooftop to fly everywhere.
The last helicopter's cabin door had just closed when it slowly took off, joined the formation, and sped away toward a safe area.
Lin Chen heard Ye Qingcheng's cool yet relieved voice through his encrypted communication headset.
"Everyone has been taken away and is safe. You... be careful."
"understood."
Lin Chen gave a simple answer, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
This is Ye Qingcheng, a woman who never needs many words, yet always provides him with the strongest and most direct support through her actions.
Having confirmed that his family and Elder Zhong were safe, Lin Chen finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.
His tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he was about to contact Su Qingge to inquire about the exact location of the bomb.
However, in that very instant!
Deep within his mind, the string representing a deadly threat was violently plucked by an invisible force!
[God-level Danger Sense], Crazy Warning!
That sense of crisis pierced the back of his head!
Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and all the muscles in his body tensed up in an instant. He was like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey. He turned around abruptly, his eyes like lightning, and locked onto the huge fire water tower in the corner of the rooftop!
"Slap, slap, slap..."
A slow, deliberate clapping sound came from behind the water tower's shadow.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a clean white coat and a blue medical mask, whose features were obscured, slowly emerged from the shadows.
He was of medium build and looked like an ordinary doctor.
But in his left hand, he was holding a red handheld detonator connected to complex wiring!
At his feet lay a metal can, much larger than the previous two, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, emanating an aura of death.
The third biological gas bomb!
"Lin Chen, you really didn't disappoint me. You actually saw through my feint."
The man spoke, his voice sounding somewhat muffled through the mask, but his condescending and mocking tone was exactly the same as the previous prophet's.
"But you're still too late."
The man sneered, raised the detonator in his hand, and gently rubbed the detonation button with his thumb.
"There are still at least two thousand patients with mobility issues and medical staff who are sticking to their posts in this hospital."
"If I loosen my grip even slightly, this white temple dedicated to saving lives will turn into a living hell filled with wails of agony."
"So, what do you think of the script? Do you like it?"
He expected to see a look of panic, anger, or hesitation on Lin Chen's face.
However, he was disappointed.
Lin Chen simply looked at him quietly, his deep eyes showing not a ripple of emotion.
He unlocked [God-level Insight] and [Master-level Micro-expression Analysis].
Those eyes seemed to penetrate the thin mask on the man's face, seeing through the tiny tremors of every muscle beneath his skin, and all the secrets hidden deep within his pupils.
one second.
It only took one second.
The murderous aura on Lin Chen's face, which was enough to freeze the air, suddenly vanished.
He even yawned somewhat boredly, then pulled a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth, then took out the lighter he had seized from the prophet's trap, and lit it with a "click".
A bluish-white mist slowly escaped from his mouth, blurring his handsome yet somewhat mocking face.
"Stop acting."
Lin Chen took a drag of his cigarette and said in a dismissive tone.
"You are not a prophet at all."
The man wearing a mask jolted, a barely perceptible flicker of panic crossing his eyes, but he still forced himself to speak.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about! I am..."
"You have very obvious calluses on the web of your hand and the pad of your index finger. Those are marks left from years of holding scalpels and hemostatic forceps."
Lin Chen didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, and continued his analysis on his own, his tone like that of an experienced old hunter commenting on a foolish rabbit that had just fallen into a trap.
"Your eyes, though trying your best to imitate the madness of a prophet, hide a deep, undisguised fear of death deep within your pupils. You're afraid of me, and you're also afraid of that thing at your feet."
"A true prophet is an ultimate psychopath who isn't even afraid of death. He enjoys the thrill of being in control of everything, not like you, using bluster to cover up your inner panic."
Lin Chen's every word, precisely and layer by layer, peeled away all the man's pretense.
"So, you're just a pathetic wretch."
"Just a scapegoat whose mind was controlled by the prophet through deep hypnosis and pushed to the forefront to die."
Lin Chen flicked his cigarette ash and finally came to a conclusion.
These words struck the mind of the "false prophet" like a thunderbolt from the heavens!
The mask on his face could no longer conceal the intense struggle and pain that suddenly erupted in his eyes!
Madness, confusion, fear, clarity... countless contradictory emotions intertwined and collided in his eyes, causing his whole body to tremble violently!
The hypnotic instructions implanted in his mind by the prophet are locked in a brutal battle with his instinct as a doctor to save lives!
