Alien Executioner

Under the influence of gluttony, they successfully obtained the Heart of Sorrow and destroyed the research station, but did not return to the Countermeasures Bureau and were suspected of defection.

When the follow-up team arrived, they only found two diaries, the reporter's body and an antique camera.

After four gluttonous Hall executives defected with the first captured Heart of Sorrow in history, the secret was forced to remain hidden.

According to the reporter's diary, one of the female executives gained incredible abilities after overeating.

She can calm hungry xenomorphs or manipulate their minds through singing.

The information in the archives afterwards is a detailed analysis of "Gluttony". After the executives choose to "fuse" with the Devouring Warrior, they will be backfired and become the carriers of its Devouring Sorrow, turning into half-human beings suspected to be alien species.

An Ran picked up another file and looked at it silently.

Let Li Fei clean the table and gently open the bag.

He knew that the female executive in the story was not the one he was looking for.

Chapter 44 The Disappearing Top Secret Files

Out of curiosity about the Heart of Sorrow, An Ran hoped that the second file would also mention it and give him an answer.

Numbered SS17620006, this is a connected file, 71 years apart from the previous file. There are other top-secret files in between, and they should not have been put together.

I opened it without any hesitation. There were four sheets of waterproof glossy paper in total, with pictures taking up most of the space and relatively little text description.

This file, which is more than half a century apart from No. 0005, records the needs and steps of "gluttony".

For example, Devouring Sorrow must be at least A-level.

When feeding Wu with your own flesh and blood, hallucinations and confusion will occur. You must stay rational and complete the process.

That's a skill...

An Ran just glanced at it. He was not interested in this taboo knowledge and quickly browsed through the gray pictures.

The pictures all show executed officers. Their bodies have become bloated and are gradually losing their human features. Their hideous faces are frightening. They stare with gray eyes, as if they have lost their souls.

Both pairs of gray eyes turned toward the camera.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but An Ran always feels that they are looking at him.

After "gluttony", the executive officer can briefly burst out several times the strength, and his physical fitness gradually approaches that of the alien species.

But every swallowing is an overdraft of life.

The stronger the Devouring Sorrow is, the more obvious the backlash effect will be. The body will be affected by the phagocytes, gradually losing its sanity and turning into a monster.

An Ran repeatedly and gradually undermines the meaning of rationality.

Or maybe her situation is roughly the same as his at this moment.

The phagocytes in the body affect you all the time, just like a group of bees buzzing in your heart.

Because the cost of this forbidden method of improvement was unbearable, the Countermeasures Bureau at the time decisively banned "gluttony" and destroyed all related information.

The reason why Li Fei chose this file was because of the last photo.

"This is..." An Ran's expression became serious.

"Yes, it's just what you thought, Shang's gluttony."

Li Fei stood beside An Ran, her eyes also solemn, because the last picture was like hell.

It should have been an ice field, and the sky was dark as if the giant beast had died. The executive standing at the edge of the photo was wearing a thick bearskin coat, which was enough to show how severe the weather was at that time.

The center of the photo is occupied by a huge tumor. It is weird and scary. The tumor has one eye and countless mouths.

The gray color in the black and white photo looked like a huge spider's nest. An Ran always thought so before seeing the text.

The so-called spider nest was just a death, which parasitized on a certain executive and successfully devoured him.

The phagocytes that devoured Wu Li rushed towards Shang frantically and devoured half of its body. They had no cells to begin with.

It has become a carnival feast.

In the archive, he is described as King Shang.

That is, through gluttony or cannibalism, Shang will become a world-disaster-level monster.

Holding the glossy paper, An Ran spoke doubtfully:

"Shang can devour its own kind?"

"To be precise, Shang can devour Shang. They have an instinctive disgust towards alien species." Li Fei said as he took action.

She saw An Ran put down the documents in his hand and realized that he was about to start opening another file bag.

Although she was curious about what the director was looking for, based on her intuition from her years of working in the Intelligence Department, she felt it was better not to ask too many questions.

"How many times have King Shang appeared in history?"

"According to incomplete statistics, there have been three Death Kings, but they were all born in the darkest corners of the world."

Li Fei recalled for a long time.

"For example, a Death King was born in a rock cave in the eleventh district. When it came, it caused supernatural phenomena such as abnormal weather. Fortunately, the Death King was very fragile on the day it was born, giving us the opportunity to kill it."

"What's different about King Shang?"

"Literally, it is equivalent to the master of all sorrows, possessing an extremely terrifying devouring sorrow, and has no fixed consciousness."

"What do you mean?" An Ran asked without any hesitation.

He looked up intentionally or unintentionally and caught a glimpse of Li Fei's self-explanation.

She knows so much.

As the head of the Intelligence Department, she is an outstanding woman in her own right.

But she was not the mother that satisfied Gu Zhilan.

"The devouring of the Shang is a chaotic combination. The Shang King who is born is a new consciousness. You can understand a newborn baby."

"An ugly baby who can tear a dragon apart with his bare hands." An Ran joked.

In his hand was a thicker glossy paper than before, and he opened the two files together just to speed up the process.

He just wanted to find the singing woman. She must be an alien and have a great relationship with him.

He finally found the trace in the last file.

"The strangest kind of sorrow...it doesn't look like sorrow at all. It was born with a state of mind that is somewhere in between. Who is the woman in the photo?"

An Ran couldn't help but look up at Li Fei, pointing at the extremely blurry figure in the photo. There was only a back view of her, and she looked like a woman.

The woman is far away from the camera. She is standing in front of a huge black stone, which is a meteorite from an unknown universe.

"I don't know, but it's not that easy to be included in the top-secret files. Is she mentioned in it?" Li Fei glanced at the photo.

"No, the entire file is about King Shang. I can see why these four files are connected together. I want to know who this woman is."

An Ran's tone appeared calm on the surface, but he felt inexplicably anxious in his heart. He guessed that the blurry voice in the photo was the woman singing.

He wanted to know why a woman's singing could force his true self to come out.

"Do you really want to know?" Li Fei's voice suddenly lowered.

An Ran was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the bookshelf. Since these files were connected, he would find 0009.

He flipped through the pages for a long time and finally came to an unexpected conclusion.

There is no file for 0009!

The numbered files that should have been neatly arranged were missing, and file 0008 was directly followed by file 0010.

He opened 0010's bag, and what was inside was about the irrelevant Devouring Weapon Core Manufacturing Technology.

That's not it……

He kept rummaging through it, unpacking it, and throwing it on the table.

That's not it……

0054...

No!

0062...

Nor is it!

Li Fei was frightened by the sudden situation. She seemed to finally understand An Ran's real purpose and wanted to stop him.

An Ran has stopped.

He calmed down and glanced at the messy waterproof bags on the ground. Li Fei reacted quickly and sorted the files out at the beginning.

Take a calm breath and look at the bookshelf.

It seems that someone came in before and took away file 0009, and looked through the information about the woman inside.

Could it be An Xin?

Thinking of the song in An Xin's phone, he more or less sorted out his thoughts.

The person who took the files was most likely An Xin. She had found a way to lure Shang out and was ready to take action.

An Ran sensed a sense of crisis and quickly walked out of the study.

"Hello..."

Li Fei wanted to catch up, but she had to sort out the files on the table, so she could only look at the corner helplessly and spread her hands.

In the corner, there is a micro surveillance camera with a red dot.

Chapter 45 Plan launch

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the director's office.

An Xin, who was thinking with her head down, raised her head, opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

In the field of vision, a man slowed down his pace and walked in quietly.

He pulled out a chair and sat down unceremoniously, then picked up a glass from the table in the corner and poured himself a cup of tea.

"What's the matter?" An Xin asked calmly.

Her eyes moved away from the man's face and moved to the khaki windbreaker he was wearing, with her autograph on the cuff.

An Ran put down the cup and said slowly:

"My permissions... Why was my access to Zero taken back?"

"That's what you're asking?"

An Xin's answer was understated. She lowered her head again, always glancing at a photo under the small potted plant intentionally or unintentionally.

An Ran didn't see clearly what was in the photo. She had finally mustered up the courage to ask the question, but the other party didn't take it seriously.

He should be angry, but he is not good at expressing his emotions.

Because the other person was his sister, he waited for a long time before speaking again:

"I visited Zero to check for someone, but it told me I didn't have permission, so I wanted to ask what was going on."

“It was taken back.”

"I want to know why."

"It's not me, it's Zero."

"That artificial intelligence? It made Jiulin cry. "

An Ran frowned, because he couldn't understand that Zero was just an artificial intelligence serving the Countermeasures Bureau.

He felt his sister was lying.

"It determined that you were dead while maintaining the system, so it revoked your permissions. But don't worry, I will restore them for you soon."

An Xin moved the potted plant away expressionlessly and slid the photo in front of An Ran. He just lowered his head and glanced at it.

He subconsciously raised his left hand from his thigh and hit it on the edge of the table.

The protagonist in the photo is Naya. She is standing at the entrance of an alley, turning her head to the left, and not paying any attention to the camera.

The camera shot was very professional, capturing the girl clearly.

The shooting location is also very clear. There is a sign of "Goat Brother BBQ" next to the girl, which can be easily found through Zero.
