Chapter 873 The Truth
Chu Zihang helped Mandy walk in the emergency corridor leading to the 21st floor. When he passed the '21' sign painted in white paint, he raised his head and took a few more glances. Mandy's face turned pale and she was out of breath. Qi Ye tried his best to say something, "I just came up from the 20th floor. I only climbed 1st floor. It's a good walk. There's no need to be so rigorous."
What Mandy said is true. Anyone with eyes will never go to the wrong floor now. The emergency access door leading to the 21st floor is the best proof. The left half is lying on the ground, and the right half is hanging precariously on the wall. At first glance, it looked like someone had kicked him and exploded. This style belonged to Lin Nian at first glance.
"All the miscellaneous fish have been wiped out by junior brother, and the rest have already run away. After the girl with high heels is dead, there should be no other ruthless characters blocking the way, unless the 'knight' is having fun and brings two cannons with him. Fight." Mandy sniffed, her face wrinkled, and she seemed to be particularly unaccustomed to the smell of blood in the corridor. She used to be a spy, but she was still a little uncomfortable being suddenly transferred to the battlefield.
"Artillery mount? You mean there are still enemies." Chu Zihang felt that this word had the smell of war gunpowder and seemed to take it seriously. He didn't even walk into the open door immediately. He stopped and seemed a little cautious.
Mandy squinted her eyes at Chu Zihang and held each other's eyes for a few seconds before she was dejectedly convinced that this guy really didn't understand what she was talking about. She felt that she had become immoral and pretended to cough twice, "It's like a cannon." , Don’t all cannons have stable gun mounts? You can understand it as the relationship between the commissioner and the auxiliary commissioner. The woman you burned just now is the gun mount."
"Just like you and I, we are Lin Nian's gun mount?" Chu Zihang felt that he understood.
"Ah, yes, yes. (Mandy's expression is a little subtle) All in all, it is very annoying. Doesn't it say in "The Night Talk" that 'the gun mount is the most difficult to control'?" The more she spoke, the paler her face became, and she lost blood. The reason is already a bit nonsense. Anyway, just quote the scriptures and that's it. It sounds very professional and makes people feel very reliable.
Chu Zihang paused and nodded, accepting this statement, "Indeed, her speech spirit is very dangerous. If you encounter her and other enemies at the same time on the frontal battlefield, it will be very difficult. It seems that you know our enemies very well, that is Is that 'Solomon's Temple' you said on the phone earlier?"
"There was an investigation, but it wasn't very thorough."
"Then what have you been doing for so long? You should have escaped from the Chernobyl prison when the academy was invaded."
"I guess I'm trying to hide from the good dogs of your executive department?" Mandy tilted her head and looked at the eagle dog of the executive department.
"You are lying. The Executive Department has indeed issued a pursuit order for you, but the commissioners sent to pursue you are not frontline combatants. At most, they are only intelligence personnel. And the first arrest order on your arrest order is It’s just a requirement to survive. With your bloodline and historical performance, the pressure of survival will not be great." Chu Zihang said calmly, "What are you planning, about this document, about Lin Nian."
"Oh? You investigated me. Do you care about me?" Mandy smiled weirdly.
However, under her gaze, Chu Zihang nodded slowly. Mandy's eyebrows twitched and then she felt that she was not teasing her. She lightly tutted and complained, "There is another love rival, and this one is even more important, junior brother. You are so blessed and have done so many bad things."
"My sexual orientation is normal." Chu Zihang said. But immediately he felt that he had said this to someone before.
"Are you still working for the 'Emperor'?" Seeing that Mandy cleverly changed the subject, Chu Zihang was silent for a while and asked again.
"If I answer no, will you believe me?"
Chu Zihang thought for a while and then shook his head, realizing that he had asked a stupid question. No matter what Mandy answered, he would not believe this woman. He asked this question without thinking. After all, thinking about others is often impulsive.
"Junior brother knows how to do it." Mandy raised her eyebrows, "But it's a pity that he never asked me this question."
"Then based on this assumption, why do you attach so much importance to that document, even if you expose yourself to the secret mission of the Executive Department to snatch it."
"What do you think?" Mandy looked at the document bag held by Chu Zihang in his left hand.
"Lin Xian." Chu Zihang said, "Is that so?"
"Does that need to be said?" Mandy smiled.
"I don't understand." Chu Zihang asked.
They stood in front of the door to the corridor on the 21st floor and didn't go in. Because Chu Zihang didn't go inside, Mandy was forced to stop here and chat with him - Chu Zihang's right hand went around the back of her neck to hold her. Her shoulders, given the height difference between the two, any actions Mandy takes now are basically controlled by Chu Zihang.
"What do you think of 'Lin Xian' as an individual? Well, that's a bit vivid. How do you think the character of 'Lin Xian' affects your senses?" Mandy stood in front of the corridor with a half-hung door and shook. eyebrow asked.
"Senses? My personal likes and dislikes?"
"Your understanding is not quite accurate, but I am also quite interested in this topic. Please continue."
"If it was before yesterday, I didn't like or hate 'Lin Xian'. After yesterday, I probably like her more." Chu Zihang said.
"Yesterday? What did you do with her yesterday?" Mandy looked a little strange.
"You don't need to know this." Chu Zihang didn't want to explain the psychological consultation. He didn't know Mandy's precise position in this matter, so naturally he didn't want to reveal any information about himself.
Mandy's expression became even weirder. It looked like Chu Zihang was looking at Godzilla, "Junior, this is not a good idea. My advice to you is to stay as far away from Lin Xian as possible."
"Why?"
"Because anyone who comes near her becomes unlucky," Mandy answered without thinking.
"Unfortunately? Superstitious theory, or some kind of supernatural phenomenon similar to the spirit of speech?" Chu Zihang is always so inquisitive.
Mandy suddenly paused, licked her lips and stared at Chu Zihang for a while, seemingly considering something, until finally she seemed to have made up her mind and then slowly said: "Ah, don't get me wrong, I mean, Anyone who comes near the 'Emperor' becomes unlucky."
—
For a moment, Chu Zihang's muscles all over his body became tense, and his pupils reflexively dilated. Medically speaking, this was a sign of being frightened. Even the fingers of his right hand holding the document bag had a few wrinkles. The sound of paper bags crinkling.
Mandy leaned very close to him, tilting her head to observe the boy's reaction. She looked very satisfied, "It seems that you do regard Lin Nian as a very good friend. Originally, I thought you were just an ordinary alumni of your alma mater. .”
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Chu Zihang really stopped in front of the door. He stopped taking a step into the corridor and stared down at the woman as if to ask her to speak clearly.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about. I never joke when it comes to business." Mandy said slowly, "Of course, please don't get me wrong. I am not asserting the conclusion that [the emperor is Lin Xian]. "
"." Chu Zihang didn't speak, he just looked at Mandy and waited quietly for the next words.
"Are you curious?" Mandy looked at him and asked.
"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded, "It's not only the matter between the 'Emperor' and Lin Xian, but also the reason why you suddenly mentioned this matter."
"Lin Nian trusts you, so I trust you too." Mandy looked up and down and said with a weird smile, "Didn't you say that both you and I are Lin Nian's gun holders?"
Chu Zihang frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"First of all, there are some secrets that you don't know, such as the way the 'Emperor' appears. This is a secret that few people know. The 'Emperor' appears by coming. You can also understand it as parasitism. He will temporarily occupy an individual. Use the body of that individual to accomplish your will. Usually these individuals are familiar to you. Hiss." Mandy coughed twice, and the pain in her abdomen made her take a breath.
He didn't have time to pay attention to Mandy's pain. When he heard the first sentence of this information, Chu Zihang raised his head and his pupils were a little shocked. This was the first time he knew information about the 'Emperor'. Before that, he only knew that there was a man named 'Emperor' who was behind the scenes, and he was extremely malicious towards Lin Nian and the secret party.
In his understanding, the 'Emperor' has always been far away in the horizon, maybe even so far away that he is not in Asia or Europe at all. The real body is hidden in a remote corner, secretly commanding everything in a luxurious and deep house, but who knows? It was conceivable that the 'Emperor' was always by his side.
"Let me tell you a piece of trivia, Chu Zihang. This is something that even Lin Nian doesn't know yet. Now if I tell you directly, it's no different from telling him. If you trust him, he will naturally tell you this information. After all, I don’t have the courage or position to tell him some sensitive information.” After Mandy recovered, she turned her head and looked at Chu Zihang’s never-extinguishing golden eyes and said,
"The 'Emperor' never comes to the same individual twice."
"."
"As far as I know, the 'Emperor' can parasitize almost anyone. As long as the conditions are met, even the Dragon King can occupy the magpie's nest. (At the same time, Chu Zihang inhaled slightly, and he remembered the 'Bronze Project') . But the interesting thing is that He almost never comes to the same person twice." Mandy adjusted her breathing to make the blood flow slightly slower.
"Is it because it can't be done or for some other reason?" Chu Zihang interjected and asked.
"The probability of 90% is that it can't be done."
"Why is it 90%? Where does the probability of 90% come from?" Chu Zihang asked, "Is it your feeling, or do you have calculations based on statistical analysis? Are those statistics kept on file?"
"There is no record of any secret speculation about the 'Emperor'. Once discovered, even the maids around him will be sentenced to death immediately." Mandy said lightly, " My code name with the Emperor is 007, and my job is as a field spy, but few people know that I am the second 007. There was a spy who was more powerful than me before my predecessor."
"Dead." Chu Zihang guessed. Because only if the previous one dies, there will be the next Mandy.
"It's considered dead. The memory and cognition have been cleared, and becoming a vegetative person like a doll is probably considered dead." Mandy nodded, "I asked Paco about my previous appointment, and she said that person had no idea about the identity of the emperor. She got interested in something she shouldn't have, got caught, and then that day she was walking on the street, fell down and never got up again, it's that simple."
"Let's talk about the 90% probability." Chu Zihang took a slight breath and realized that Mandy was really telling some terrible secrets now.
"In the few years that I have been working for the 'Emperor', I have probably seen Him come the most times. Because of my special status, He always has some secret tasks and actions that He wants to give me personally - He has never Do not believe in any communication on the Internet or physical books, His orders are only issued by Him personally after His arrival, which is why the secret party has never been able to find any trace of Him," Mandy said.
"I have never seen Him come to the same person twice. For example, He once came to 'Masashi Toyama' and commanded me. And once, even if I was in the same room with Masashi Toyama for regular mental health tests, He I also waited for me to choose to come and meet me as an assistant teacher of the Psychology Department after I completed the test. From that time on, I had this suspicion."
"At that time, the probability that 'the emperor' cannot come to the same person twice' was confirmed in my mind was only 30%. It was very small and could only be regarded as an idea. After all, people always have quirks and habits, just like toilet paper. Once you use it once, you won’t want to use it a second time.”
"At that time, I thought that the 'Emperor' might also be such an awkward guy with a 'spiritual mysophobia'. After all, in his eyes, humans or hybrids are very despicable things. He even looks down on pure-blood dragons below the next generation, so there are Such eccentricities are reasonable."
"But." Mandy paused, "One thing made me change my opinion at a certain moment and made me stand firm on the reliability of my original idea."
She paused for a few seconds and continued: "It's not convenient for me to tell the details of that incident, because it will cause trouble for me and you, but I can tell you some inside information. As far as I know, there was one The 'Emperor' did come to the same person for the second time, but He paid the price for it!"
"That time, He and His sworn enemy had an unprecedented cooperation for the first time. Finally, with the help of His sworn enemy's power, he completed the second coming (Chapter 697: Exchange)." She took a deep breath. , "At that time, I was basically convinced in my heart that He really couldn't come to the same person twice!"
".I don't understand the importance of this matter." Chu Zihang thought for a long time, frowned and said, "If it is really a completely irresistible 'parasitism', it only needs one time to achieve all its goals, why does it need two times?" ? Whether the 'Emperor' can parasitize a person multiple times is not as important as imagined. What is more important should be the means and necessary conditions for him to achieve parasitism. Only by knowing these can we effectively prevent him."
"No, you don't understand, this matter is very important! The 'Emperor' can only come to the same person once under normal circumstances. This matter is actually not the focus of our discussion now. It is just a necessary wedge before leading to the point." Mandy's tone suddenly became serious,
"After you understand this prerequisite, what I am going to say next is the really important news. When a special case occurs in a given matter, this special case will receive special attention. When I have a 90% probability of determining the 'Emperor 'When it cannot happen to the same person twice, then the exceptions that appear in this thesis become the singular points in my eyes."
Chu Zihang had already vaguely guessed who this special case was, but he was still speechless, waiting for Mandy to say it himself.
"So, Lin Xian, this woman is absolutely abnormal." Mandy said in a deep voice, "She is that special point, because the 'Emperor' can come to her as many times as he wants!"
—
The smell of blood filled the nostrils, and the corridor was so quiet that one could hear the soft ripples of blood drops falling from the edge of the steps into a pool of blood.
Chu Zihang opened his mouth slightly but said nothing, but his mood must be unstable, because at this time he finally understood why Mandy mentioned these things before saying that she was not suitable to mention it to Lin Nian in person. It's not easy for anyone to mention this kind of thing to Lin Nian face to face! And Mandy, a person with a sensitive identity, has to avoid suspicion.
"Do you know what the codename Lin Xian was given by the maids of the 'Emperor'?"
"It's 'Empress'." Mandy chuckled, "This is not an official code name. 'Empress' does not mean that she is the 'Emperor's' queen, but that the 'Emperor' really likes to befall this woman Lin Xian." Body, so frequently that we lost count. So we naturally thought that the 'Emperor' liked Lin Xian very much as a carrier, and guessed that the 'Emperor''s own sexual orientation might be female, so we jokingly called the 'Emperor' who occupied Lin Xian's body. 'It's 'Empress'."
"At that time, because of Lin Xian's existence, I had not thought that the 'Emperor' could only come to the same person once, and I never thought that Lin Xian was special. I originally thought that Lin Xian, a woman, should be just an ordinary individual. She was the one selected by the emperor in the orphanage to be close to Lin Nian and maintain a bond." She said, "But I was wrong."
"The individual 'Lin Xian' is abnormal, so I started to try to investigate Lin Xian's past, but found that I could only find information about her within 15 years. 15 years ago, there was no woman like Lin Xian left in this world. This is unreasonable." Mandy said, "According to the enthronement of Cassel College, her age is now 24 years old. Her age 15 years ago was 9 years old. I can't find anything about her 9 years old. According to the information before she was 9 years old, she seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this coastal city when she was 9 years old, without parents or anyone who knew her."
"There is another individual who has not been found like her." Mandy said, "That individual is called Lin Nian. To be honest, I never thought that Lin Xian's background could be compared with Lin Nian. How many years have I really believed that Lin Xian is just an ordinary person in the orphanage?"
"So." Chu Zihang said.
"So, didn't you ask me what I have been busy with these past few months?" Mandy looked at Chu Zihang and suddenly said, "I can answer you now. I want to know who the 'Emperor' is." She slowly said Said, "He cannot be just a conscious body, He must have a body that belongs to Him, His essence. And I have always only had one object of doubt, so what I have been doing now is to dig deeper around this object of suspicion. Until the truth is found out!”
Chu Zihang did not continue to ask the stupid question of why you are so persistent about who the emperor is, because only by knowing the true face of the enemy in the dark can you truly defeat this enemy, even if that true face may make you collapse and suffer. He suddenly looked down at the paper bag in his hand, and his eyes were a little shocked, because in the document in his hand, the black film contained secrets about Lin Xian before he was 9 years old.
"But this information can only prove that there is indeed something wrong with her background, and it hides many secrets. Including the fact that she and Lin Nian are actually blood relatives." Chu Zihang closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, and said calmly, "There is no evidence in these materials that proves her inevitable connection with the 'Emperor'!"
"No, I have a feeling that Lin Xian is the 'Emperor'! Because ever since I learned her secret, she has always made me feel very dangerous! This sense of danger always exists whether it is coming or not!" Mandy whispered, her voice not loud but decisive and stern, "She is an extremely dangerous person, and there is only one such dangerous person I know from beginning to end, and that is the 'Emperor' himself."
"This is just your guess. You are exacerbating some conflicts that shouldn't exist. You know how much impact this incident will have on Lin Nian!" Chu Zihang also shot back in a cold and stern tone, "You know what you are doing What to do?"
"Of course I know." Mandy suddenly raised her eyebrows, and then raised a smile that Chu Zihang couldn't understand, "So I won't tell Lin Nian my guesses. I will only give him this information. , and then say nothing and do nothing.”
Chu Zihang stared at Mandy, and after a while, he looked away because he understood what the other person was thinking.
"I don't like you." Chu Zihang said, "I think Lin Nian shouldn't trust you so much. You will hurt him sooner or later."
"You think I would lie to him?"
"No, you won't lie to him, so things could be worse." Chu Zihang whispered.
Mandy looked at Chu Zihang, smiled, said nothing more, and naturally let go of her hand on Chu Zihang's neck. Chu Zihang did not stop her and let go of the hand that had been firmly holding her right shoulder.
"It's time for you to do what you have to do." Mandy turned around and walked towards the dark corridor with an airy voice, "And you really shouldn't have blown up the elevator. Because for this I had to climb 21 fucking floors to find the hospital! "
Chu Zihang didn't respond or look back. He listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther in the safe corridor behind him and looked at the closed door of the conference room at the end. For some reason, he had a hunch that some things seemed to be getting irreversible. The situation has slipped.
