Alien Executioner

"It's incredible that you, as a brother, are so weak." An Ran looked at the man uncertainly.

I thought I had made a wrong judgment, but Wang Feng was indeed too weak, not even as good as S-level.

"Hey, hey, hey, who says that older brothers have to be stronger than younger brothers and sisters? Some people are not as strong as their younger sisters." He spread his hands, "My younger sister is stronger than me. When she was little, she stuck to me every day. As she grew up, she changed from a good girl to a rebellious sister who would pounce on her brother at any time. Our relationship is so good, so I want to give her a better living environment."

An Ran was stunned, as his situation was somewhat similar to hers.

"But she's dead." Wang Feng's expression was gloomy. "I sneaked into the prison and found the alien. I thought he was the murderer of my sister, and I wanted to cut him into pieces. In the end, he was thrown into a meat grinder and killed, but I still didn't feel relieved. I took my two younger brothers to find the murderer's family, a total of 13 people, and two young children. I cut my relatives into pieces in front of them."

"It's really cruel, but not enough." An Ran did not feel disgusted with Wang Feng's behavior.

"If this is all you can do, then you are not qualified to be an executive officer. An executive officer is scarier than an alien. We are venomous snakes. If we cannot see fear in the eyes of our enemies, we have failed."

"Thanks to the help of my good brother Wang Qi, I was able to not only wipe out the murderer's entire family, but also all the forces behind him." Wang Feng continued, "But this also attracted the attention of Mr. V. At that time, I had no idea that Mr. V and Dr. Cat were the same person."

"He told me the truth about my sister's death. It was all caused by that octopus. The octopus wanted to escape its restraints and used mental confusion to try to control the aliens. But it failed every time because the people it controlled could not bear the torture, and my sister was no exception."

“This is the beginning.”

"Yes, this is the beginning." Wang Feng said softly, "It is also the beginning of my true acquaintance with Mr. V. At first, I believed everything he said until Li Yun showed up."

Chapter 431: Shadow of the Worm (XI)

An Ran took out the notebook expressionlessly and placed it on the table, tapping the table, motioning Wang Feng to take it away.

He didn't understand what the director meant. He stood up and took the notebook, a little confused, "Director An, what are you doing?"

"Write as you speak, keep it simple, and then send the details to my email, and I will check it later."

"This?" Wang Feng felt that he had heard it wrong. "I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. Didn't you say you hate trouble?"

"When I need you, you are not a bother. I know your true character. Just like Sister Tang, you always go off topic and say a lot of nonsense every time you talk."

"Okay, okay, you are the superior and you have the final say. Can't I just type?" Wang Feng opened his notebook and started typing away. He immediately became a swift typewriter, so fast that even An An couldn't react.

He had already started, and his speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen. This kind of expression that only appeared in anime actually happened in reality. An Ran rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking he had seen it wrong.

"You are a good writer. Why don't you just quit your job in the research department and write some novels for me." An Ran teased, "I will offer you a starting salary of 50,000 per month. Do you think this is okay?"

"I am the director of the Research Department and I earn at least 200,000 yuan a month. Do you think this 50,000 yuan is worth it?"

"Isn't your salary plus bonus only over 100,000 yuan a month?"

"Oh, 100,000. I remembered it wrong." Wang Feng realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he secretly embezzled more than 100,000 yuan of the department's funds every month. It was only because the woman from the Intelligence Department sent the Internal Affairs Department to investigate that he was forced to curb the embezzlement. Roughly speaking, the embezzlement exceeded one million yuan.

If such corruption was discovered, he would undoubtedly be sentenced to death. Fortunately, he had gray authority and even Zero covered for him.

An Ran was alert to the fact that the misappropriation of funds by the Research Department was abnormal, but he did not expose it openly. He smiled and said:

"So you think it's okay?"

"Forget it, but I'm curious, Director, do you still like to write novels?"

"No, I was just teasing you about your speed." An Ran doubted whether he was hitting randomly, so she walked behind him.

I was surprised to find that there was not even a single typo.

"Have you been parasitized by an octopus?" An Ran checked carefully, his eyes almost unable to keep up with the speed of the text input.

"I'm a tentacle monster, that's what they call me." Wang Feng was very proud. "Before I entered FACA, I wrote online articles. My performance was pretty good. One of my books has millions of fans and tens of thousands of collections. I'm a big shot in this industry."

"What does Kami mean?"

"Okay, you monster without a time contract, you don't even know this." He maintained his speed.

"Since you are so good, I'm sure you can make a lot of money by writing online articles." An Ran smiled faintly.

"Of course not. If I'm lucky, I can earn 5,000 a month! I'm so envious..." Wang Feng immediately shut up.

He smiled bitterly and wanted to say something, but the words didn't come out.

"Okay, Minister Wang, there's no need to show your crying and laughing expression. I already know most of your experience. You already knew that Section Chief Gu Simiao was still alive, right?"

"I just found out recently. He has always been mysterious. The reason I know him is because... my father used to run a seafood business. His name is Wang Qiqiang. He and my uncle Wang Xiaohu have always set up stalls in the vegetable market. Then one day, I went to buy lottery tickets on a whim and happened to meet Section Chief Gu who was passing by."

"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with your father setting up a stall?"

“I didn’t say it mattered.”

An Ran closed her eyes and smiled, then she walked towards the door and said calmly, "Send Minister Wang back to the Research Department."

"Wait, wait, I know I was wrong." Wang Feng quickly added, "In fact, he was once my mentor. This is true and you must be able to find out. I was his only student, so we were very close."

"Where is Wu Pingping? What is the purpose of this crazy woman being born?"

An Ran could hardly suppress the disgust he felt when he mentioned this name.

"She is the daughter of Storm. Her mother is Wu Shijiu's niece, so she is also his grandniece. Li Yun should have said that. We tried to turn her into a follower and use her as our ultimate weapon. It was because of her existence that the branch letter became our power, but we were still too naive."

An Ran bent down, moved his fingers on the touch pad of his notebook, and opened a document.

The file contained the chat records between Chen Yong and the unknown number, and he showed it to Wang Feng for confirmation.

"Are you familiar with this?"

"I know, of course I know." Wang Feng was embarrassed. He didn't expect that the Intelligence Department had even found this thing.

“What do these numbers mean?”

Wang Feng was speechless for a moment after reading it. He repeatedly watched the chat records on the screen. This was Chen Yong’s motive and purpose when he betrayed the scientific research department. The word "cult" in it basically confirmed that the person who contacted Chen Yong was from a cult.

An Ran pointed to the secret number "4111218", but the chat record was too short to understand what this password represented. It might be a door, a device, or the unlocking code of a computer or mobile phone.

In short, this became what An Ran cared about the most, and even the Intelligence Department could not interpret its meaning.

Wang Feng seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that his experience might be even more exciting than An Ran had imagined, and an interesting expression appeared on his face.

"The road to becoming a god." He muttered these four words, "I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's true. Dr. Cat also talked about the road to becoming a god. Is there really a person or alien species in this world who can become a god?"

"Maybe Shang is not the real 'God', because there is also the Shang King." An Ran looked at him, "Maybe this path to becoming a god is specifically for Shang. They are vying to devour each other just to become the Shang King."

"What is King Shang?" Wang Feng was confused.

"You do not know?"

"I don't know. I only know that Shang exists. I don't know anything about many things." Wang Feng touched his head. "I just wanted to avenge my sister. Most of the important information came from Dr. Cat and Gu Simiao. They didn't mention King Shang either."

"I forgot. You are just an idiot." An Ran said slowly, "So you don't know the meaning of this string of numbers."

Wang Feng shook his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I think this is why you came to me, but..."

He took out the USB flash drive he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to An Ran.

An Ran looked at the silver-gray USB flash drive in her hand and realized that this was Zero's "gray authority".

"I didn't expect that the gray authority is in your hands." An Ran held the USB drive and asked the key question.

“Who gave it to you?”⑦

"Gu Simiao."

"Tsk." An Ran turned around. This answer was the most unexpected.

"I'll send it to you after I finish writing it." In less than ten minutes, Wang Feng finished writing an electronic report of tens of thousands of words. He stood up and yawned, his face beaming with joy.

"Can I go now?"⑺

"Whatever you want." An Ran turned his back to him and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, you've been suspended."

"Is it paid?" This is very important to Wang Feng.

An Ran held it in for a long time before saying, "Paid, only for the first two months."

Chapter 432: Shadow of the Worm (XII)

Watching Wang Feng leave, An Ran lowered his head and played with Xu Sinuo's mobile phone.

After making sure that Wang Feng was telling the truth, he remembered the girl who had been lying in the ward for several months.

There was still no incoming message in the text message box, and the "I" who called himself Xu Sinuo seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep on the other end of the phone.

An Ran lowered his head in thought. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was.

He glanced at the time and saw that it was almost evening. Without hesitation, he got up and went to the ward where Xu Sinuo was.

Ignoring the cordial greetings from the members of the logistics department, he stepped into the ward, took a quick look, and sat down on a chair.

Xu Sinuo's pale face eased a lot, and there was no sign of waking up. The necklace around his neck did not show any signs of being touched. An Ran was thoughtful. Bagshas once said that its power was ineffective for a while, and Xu Sinuo woke up at that time.

What did Xu Sinuo do after waking up? An Ran guessed that something must have happened during this process, and Bagshas knew everything, otherwise it would not have needed to remind him of this matter.

An Ran took out his mobile phone, connected to Ling's database, and retrieved the surveillance footage of the past few days.

The background on the screen is dark, it's night time.

The girl on the bed slowly got up, blurry and hazy. She walked around the room, then got up and left the Countermeasures Bureau. An hour later, she came back, her body movements a little stiff, as if... she was sleepwalking.

An Ran's fingers tapped the screen unconsciously and found that when Xu Sinuo came back, her plaid pajamas had turned into pink pajamas.

The surveillance camera in the room just covered the door and the corridor, casting a clear shadow spreading across the ground.

An Ran quickly checked the surveillance footage in the corridor, only to find that Xu Sinuo was the only one there, and the shadow had disappeared.

Like a wandering ghost.

He subconsciously looked towards the door. There were only nurses coming and going in the corridor.

Contact traffic monitoring data... An Ran clicked on this permission and silently thought for five seconds. Five seconds later, he obtained the monitoring backup from the traffic police brigade, and combined with the monitoring around the countermeasures bureau, he basically confirmed what happened to Xu Sinuo that night.

She left the FACA headquarters alone, walked along the roadside into a busy street, and finally entered a late-night snack shop.

The video ends here and suddenly becomes blurry.

An Ran frowned and found that everything that happened after Xu Sinuo entered the late-night snack shop was deliberately cut off. He realized that there were human factors interfering with his investigation. Based on his experience, a guess popped up in his mind.

Click on all the reports of the Operations Department in the system database, find the reports with the address marked as this prosperous area, and filter the reports for the past seven days.

There were a total of seven report logs about the busy street within seven days, one of which was about the late-night snack shop, and the sender of the report log was the rescue call center supervisor who was on night shift that day.

Just quickly scan the content and you can basically confirm the general idea.

All the people in the late-night snack shop died tragically. A total of four bodies were found. The scene was horrific. This was a massacre. The massacrer must have been a terrible and experienced "executioner". It has been completely confirmed that this was an unusual incident, but the murderer has not been found yet.

This incident was actually reported in the news, but An Ran seldom watched the news unless it was necessary. The relevant report in the Countermeasures Bureau's official business skipped over her and was uploaded to her sister, who was the director, so she only knew about it now.

Judging from the time, Xu Sinuo was in the late-night snack shop at that time, but she came back safe and sound, so there must have been an unclear connection between them at that time.

Just as An Ran was thinking about the connection, a text message alert sounded on his phone.

[It comes again, lingering again and again, I hope someone can stop it, anyone is fine. ]

The text message from "me" is a cry for help, more like Xu Sinuo seeking help from reality in his dream.

An Ran held his breath and sent it out gently.

【Where are you? 】

Another period of waiting, but to no avail, as if when I touched my fingers to send the message, the connection between us was cut off, and I didn't know when the next time would be.

This is not a prank, An Ran's intuition told him, he saw that every time a message was sent, the girl's face on the bed would become paler. It was as if the connection between dreams and reality was real, but it required energy to maintain.

An Ran took back his phone. He knew that at least today, there would be no new messages in Xu Sinuo's phone.

He felt a little sad in his heart. There was not a single phone number in the girl's address book. She was actually a lonely person, but she had always hidden her loneliness in her heart without revealing any trace, and the mobile phone address book became the only loophole.

When a person feels lonely, he is truly lonely. An Ran clearly understood this from Xu Sinuo.

He thought about it and saved his own phone number into this phone. Suddenly he realized something and saved Sister Tang's phone number as well.

After finishing all this, he took back his phone and left the ward.

"Brother, you finally came out."

The moment the elevator door opened, An Ran heard the voice that she had hoped to hear the most in the past but was now trying to avoid.

Sister An Xiao stood at the door of the hall with a smile, as if waiting for someone. The malicious smile made An Ran's heart skip a beat.

"Yeah." An Ran nodded in response.

"Hey, brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The sister grabbed his arm, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

As expected, just as An Ran guessed, his sister had been waiting for him.

He pursed his lips and forced a smile, "Will you finish it?"

"Yeah, it's boring. Anyway, I have nothing to do." An Xiao snorted, with a bit of complaint in her tone, "I'm going to be nominated for the elite promotion list next year, and I don't like it."
