Chapter 714 Interrogation Department

Lin Nian and Schneider were walking on the back mountain. It is said that there are only bare tree trunks left in the back mountain. The yellow leaves in autumn, even if they are moist with the night rain, are still under the simmering fire and high temperature. They were all reduced to ashes, and now they would crush gray dead branches and brittle shells with every step they took. No one spoke, and the crunching sounds in the forest were endless.

After passing through a dense forest, the front suddenly became spacious, like a man-made open space, with dense black shadows, like people standing silently watching in the forest one after another. They had watched before, and they had watched after death.

Lin Nian walked into the clearing and looked at the dark tombstones. Compared with the ashes in other places in the forest, this clearing was spotlessly clean, and many fresh tributes and flowers were placed in front of the tombstones.

Visiting a cemetery is not sad because the tombstones are just tombstones, like strangers. But if every name on them is a face that once lived in front of you, walking in the Forest of Steles is like walking under the gaze of old people. Every sight makes your shoulders feel heavy. After a minute, the cemetery has come to an end and sadness has arisen spontaneously.

But today they did not come to worship. This was just the only way to reach the end. They quickly passed by the cemetery and walked deeper into the mountain. It was the shadow side behind Kassel College halfway up the mountain. There were a lot of pine and birch trees growing there, but now they were all dry and black.

Schneider, who was leading the way deep in the forest, stopped, and Lin Nian also stood still. In front of them was a bunker, with a semicircular mottled concrete surface exposed in the dark forest. The entrance was sealed airtight by an alloy door. A circular electronic eye on the door repeatedly observes all movements in front of the door from left to right.

Lin Nian raised his head and glanced at the corners of the walls to the left and right of the bunker door. They were made of metallic steel plates and had tiny gaps. It was not difficult to guess that high-speed machine guns or more dangerous weapons could pop out if necessary. There were not even stickers nearby. No one from the upper world should enter, or labels on important military areas (in a sense, these labels can be regarded as guide signs), which shows that the executive department does not want people to know the existence of this place at all.

"Face recognition, iris recognition, voiceprint recognition. Those who have not entered the information in advance will not receive a warning, and Norma has the right to shoot directly." Schneider said.

"What if a student comes in by mistake?" Lin Nian asked.

"The school rules are very clear. The area behind the mountain is a forbidden forest. Students who come in will be immediately treated as expelled outsiders. Besides, the cemetery is not far from here." Schneider said hoarsely, walking forward and letting the door open. The camera pointed at him and said, "It's me."

A few seconds later, the alloy door rose to reveal a dark, straight downward passage. Schneider took two steps forward, then stopped and looked at Lin Nian, who was standing still. After staring at him in silence for dozens of seconds, Say, "I thought you were ready."

"Some things are still there if you don't look at them, but they will still make you sick if you look at them." Lin Nian said, looking at the old bunker.

Schneider didn't speak anymore and just stood there looking at him. Half a minute later, Lin Nian took steps to follow Schneider's footsteps, and the two walked into the bunker.

The inner wall of the corridor is as full of age as the exterior of the bunker. It can be seen that the history of this building is almost the same as that of the entire academy, and may be even older than those old castle buildings. The alloy door behind slowly closed. Before the darkness swallowed everything, the wall lit up with firelight. I don't know whether it was a deliberate retro or a deeper meaning. The lighting equipment here was actually a kerosene lamp hanging on the wall.

The lights illuminated the floor with layers of floor tiles. There were holes in the walls with obvious regularity. There was a camera every three steps. From time to time, a green laser scanned out from inside. Schneider kept walking without saying anything, and Lin Nian followed quietly until they arrived. Arriving at another alloy door.

It was unlocked in the same three steps, but after the door was opened, a cold and damp wind suddenly blew out from inside, accompanied by low moans and wailing sounds that were even more creepy than the cold wind. Countless voices, The voices of men, women, old and young were intertwined like silk threads, and the light in the kerosene lamp was flickering. It was unknown whether it was because of the dark wind or the huge resentment and regret hidden in the wind.

Schneider had no reaction to this scene. He walked through the door and saw the words "Interrogation Department" engraved on a bright copper and iron sign on one side of the wall.

Interrogation Department of Kassel Academy.

The lower-level departments affiliated with the Executive Department appear most frequently in the words used by students to joke and intimidate, but not many people have ever actually seen the existence of this department. There is no one in the entire Kassel College who is related to it. Traces related to the interrogation department.

Of course they couldn't find it, because the interrogation department was not set up in Kassel College at all, but was hidden deep in the back mountain. This place was not meant to satisfy the exciting fantasies of 18- and 9-year-olds. Even if it is a formal member of the executive department, very few people can come to this place - and no one wants to come to this place. People who really understand this place will stay away from it and wish to stay away from it for the rest of their lives. Don't know what it looks like.

Lin Nian walked into the door. The stone walls on both sides turned into black iron metal walls. The interior space made of a large amount of metal was indestructible. The ground here still had a complex floor tile structure. It was a bit awkward when walking, and it was easy for one foot to be high and the other low, but After seeing the cell doors one after another on the metal walls, he probably knew the reason for this floor design.

When Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, built the Forbidden City, fifteen layers of floor tiles were used to pave the ground in important places such as the Temple of Supreme Harmony Square. This was a defensive strategy, very ancient but effective, in order to prevent the emergence of burrows. Today Those who built the bunker used it to prevent the prisoners locked inside from escaping.

Schneider walked in front, and Lin Nian followed and watched. Those whining sounds came from the cell doors on both sides. They were not screams, or it was rare to hear screams made purely out of pain. The screams, those wailing sounds are like the accusations against the world made by a poisonous person who has been tortured by the disease for a long time and is lying on the ground at the moment of his death. It is a complete concentration of negative emotions and the lowness of losing all hope in life. howl.

"Chernobyl prison is not the only mixed-race detention facility." Schneider said, "There are always some prisoners who possess the information we need and cannot send them out immediately. The interrogation department also exists for this purpose."

"The history here is even older than Cassel Academy. A long time ago, this place existed as a 'treatment room'. Dangerous hybrids were regarded as patients with serious mental illnesses. The secret party at that time chose to treat these patients. Frontal lobotomy surgery blocks their resonance with dragons, allowing them to return to human society safely and harmlessly."

"Lobotomy?"

"An operation that is often used to treat mental patients, but the hazards and sequelae are very high. After the operation, the patient will lose many functions, including personality and thinking ability. Some people have found that this operation can cut off the resonance with Longwen for hybrids. , has long been used to contain and control the threat of dangerous hybrids."

"Will the execution department still perform this kind of surgery on people now?" Lin Nian turned to look at a cell door. The window above was open. Inside, a man wearing a dirty white hospital gown could be seen huddled in a dark corner. A dry figure swaying slightly from side to side.

After Lin Nian's eyes fell on his back for more than two seconds, he suddenly stopped all movements and let out an ecstatic chuckle. Accompanied by the harsh sound of his nails scratching the metal wall, it was hard to imagine how hard his nails needed to be. Only then can this scene be achieved.

Lin Nian averted his eyes to avoid seeing the frightening scene of the thin figure suddenly turning around.

"This kind of surgery has been banned now, so it depends on the situation." Schneider said, "The only people who can be locked up here are those who we think have a residual value twice as high as their risk. After getting their residual value or until they die, the cell will be reserved for them forever.”

“What happens after their residual value is drained?”

"Depending on the circumstances, he may be transferred to Chernobyl prison to spend the rest of his life, or he may be executed on the spot."

"Is there no third situation?" Lin Nian stopped in front of a cell again. There was a figure standing inside. From the limited peripheral light of the kerosene lamp, you could see the smiling face, but the head was upside down. The ground hangs from his neck, his face is turned up and down, his smile is exaggerated, and his teeth are jagged and yellow in his open mouth.

"Very few." Schneider also stopped.

After Lin Nian stopped, the upside-down man actually walked over slowly and stopped in front of the cell door. He smiled quietly and looked at Lin Nian through the window. This also allowed Lin Nian to observe what kind of head he had. How it grew on his neck in an inverted manner.

Looking directly at the man with an inverted face, from top to bottom are the grinning mouth, nose, dark eyes, and then the black hair connecting the neck. The place where the neck and the top of the head are connected are completely obscured by the black hair. It is not difficult to see the traces of interrogation on his body, which are all hideous blood scabs and healed wounds, but there is no discount on that smiling face. The upside-down face twists slightly as if observing outside the door. This strange face.

"What other information on this monster is worth digging for?" Lin Nian asked, looking at this terrifying inverted face.

"Good morning, Berry." Schneider looked at the inverted man and said hello hoarsely, "Are you ready to tell us your secret today?"

The man with the inverted face slowly turned his head to look at Schneider behind Lin Nian. He swayed twice, let out a cackle of laughter and quietly retreated into the darkness of the room. He stared at Lin Nian's face without moving away until he finally disappeared. Sight, perhaps hidden in the dark, is still the same.

"Secret?" Lin Nian didn't care about being stared at by such a weirdo for a while, and turned to look at Schneider.

"His face." Schneider pointed to his cheek. "It looks like it's turned upside down."

"I can see that."

"But what if I say it wasn't just his face that was turned over?" Schneider asked. "He turned his entire head around, and the top of his head was connected to his body instead of his neck."

"Yan Ling?" Lin Nian paused.

"No word spirit can do this." Schneider said, "Ray Berry, before he was imprisoned in the interrogation department, he was a mixed race with a very good bloodline, and he was also the best surgeon in the industry in Germany at the time. Even if Even if the Prime Minister wants to undergo surgery, he will give priority to making an appointment with a specialist. He was once prosperous until he became obsessed with a brand-new surgical operation, and you have also seen the results of this surgery."

".Turn your head over? Why?"

"I don't know." Schneider said, "But when we arrested him, we found a handwritten version of 'The Jade Book' and a large number of acquired Deadpool specimens at his home. They should have been obtained from the black market. , he has this capital as a top surgeon. The clip 'As it is above, as it is below' in 'Jade Jade Record' is marked in red, and we think he may be experimenting with a kind of witchcraft that is a mixture of modern medicine and alchemy."

"In order to successfully perfect this witchcraft, he kidnapped his young female assistant and his mentor at the time and completed the face-inversion surgery privately. After waking up, the female assistant could not accept herself as a monster and chose to commit suicide, while his mentor He wanted to find a way to restore himself like crazy. During this process, the old professor was witnessed by countless ordinary people late at night, forming an urban legend for a period of time. It was precisely because of this that the 'Face-Face Man' officially entered the The watch list of the execution department. We successfully caught his mentor first, then learned about his existence by following the clues, and then started to arrest him."

"A madman with superb medical skills." Lin Nian commented.

"At least when we found him, there were already dozens of victims, including one of our young female commissioners." Schneider said hoarsely, "He is more cunning than we thought, and he deceived those who were fooled." He forced the patient who had undergone surgery to pretend to be his, and he was willing to perform restorative surgery on that patient. We didn't expect that he was also a professional plastic surgeon in addition to being a surgeon. You can't imagine how tempting 'rehabilitation' is to those victims. , in order to turn their heads 180° from their necks, they were so crazy that they were willing to do anything. He ordered his plastic surgery patients to imitate him and mobilized a large number of our manpower. During the dismantling of personnel, he also revealed his true purpose.”

"No one could have imagined at the time that he would be so bold as to point his scalpel at the hunter who was chasing him." Schneider said lightly.

"The female commissioner is now."

"Still alive," Schneider said, "living is worse than death. Can you imagine getting up every day and seeing your own head turned upside down in the mirror?"

"No one can accept this situation." Lin Nian looked at the window of the cell door, "Then why is he still alive?"

"Because he can indeed restore the heads of those victims whose faces were turned upside down just like the lies he deceived. This is also the result that we found after finding the best surgeons to study the connection between the victims' heads and necks. The probability is very small, but not zero." Schneider also looked at the prison door, "There are still seven victims alive around the world, living in disgust and fear of themselves when they wake up every morning, so we need him to distort the nature of the human body. The secret of the rules.”

"And he himself knew that the day he handed over his secret would also be the day he died," Lin Nian said.

"Correction, it's a day worse than life." Schneider walked through the cell door, "Also, he has a habit of kidnapping and performing surgeries on people who have outstanding appearance or a certain social status. , he seemed to like watching those proud people collapse, and we finally caught him by relying on bait. He kept looking at you, maybe he likes your face?"

Lin Nian turned his head and glanced behind the cell door again, but this time a wailing sound suddenly came from inside the cell door. A pair of blazing red golden pupils were reflected in the upside-down dark eyes hidden in the darkness, with a huge spirit. The pressure was like a giant hammer that smashed the playful upside-down face, and the weirdness and evil were like a mouse that met the sun, trembling fiercely and hiding in deeper darkness.

ps: I’m going to the hospital tomorrow to prepare for surgery.
