Chapter 317 Murder and Heart-Breaking

People from the Planet Security Bureau headquarters temporarily isolated Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming.

Not only the two of them, Lu Ming also knew that Director Li Wenhua and the military personnel responsible for the actual bombing mission would also be temporarily quarantined.

Investigators scrutinize everyone in this entire line.

However, Lu Ming knew very well that nothing would happen to anyone except Zhang Dingshan and himself. After all, the emergency clause was initiated by the second action team. Even if it was responsible, the responsibility rested on its own side and was no one else's business. The so-called investigation is nothing more than being isolated for a day or two, and then being released after the matter is found out.

Even if there are two of us, there is a high probability that they will be fine. Because Lu Ming has the confidence to ensure that his inference and subsequent handling are reasonable.

Standing at that point in time and in that position, bombing the Nanli Laser Research Institute was the only and best choice that could be made.

But there are still some processes to go through. These two days, I just had a good rest.

The night passed slowly. The rising sun shines light on the land again. Nancheng City in the morning light has completely returned to normal at this moment, and there is no trace of the chaos that it experienced last night.

Most people have forgotten what happened yesterday.

power failure? Who hasn’t experienced a power outage? It’s nothing. So what if the scope is larger? No matter how big it is, it's just a power outage.

Twenty or thirty years ago, power was cut off and delivered at scheduled times. Who among older people would not be accustomed to this?

Here at the Laser Research Institute, headed by He Wei, there are hundreds of survey and investigation personnel wearing full body equipment. They have entered the ruins before dawn and have been busy until dawn.

Among the research institutes, the research institute building that originally stood at the highest point in the surrounding area has only some ruins left. The rest of the area has been almost flattened, and no trace of the building can be seen.

There is a thick layer of loose soil floating on the ground, which is several centimeters deep.

There are no traces of life around the institute. Further away, there were only a few fallen trees. The trees further away were leaning outward, as if they had been blown down by strong winds.

Everything shows the brutality of the bombing last night.

People are carefully searching for the wreckage, broken pieces of iron, broken glass, biological tissue whose parts cannot be seen, and so on. Everything will be put into evidence bags for further inspection.

"Chief He, there is something discovered here."

He Wei walked over and saw a broken piece of something that seemed to be made of bone. But this thing is very thin and looks very sharp.

"This should be from that monster..."

Thinking in her mind, she ordered: "Put it away."

After continuing to search for a while, people made another discovery in a large pit.

"Chief He, here!"

He Wei went over and saw people digging out a dark, dirty thing from the wreckage.

After careful identification, He Wei roughly recognized it.

This appears to be an eyeball.

A human eyeball.

Recalling the footage captured by the drone yesterday, He Wei became a little more solemn.

"Take it away for inspection."

"yes."

…

After two days of isolation and review, investigators entered the room early on the third day.

"Hello, Lu Ming. Your matter has been cleared up. After review, we believe that the decision made by you and Zhang Dingshan, the captain of the Second Action Team, was completely correct and necessary. It was precisely because of your sudden decision , took decisive action to stop the situation from continuing to develop and worsen. Now, you can continue to perform your duties."

Lu Ming was slightly surprised.

He thought it would take a few more days, but he didn't expect the investigators to move so quickly.

"Did you make any new discoveries?"

"yes."

The investigator did not hide anything, but said directly: "He Wei, the second team of Operations, searched for an eyeball at the Laser Research Institute. After comprehensive inspection and analysis by experts in materials science and optics, they found that there was indeed something in the eyeball. A substance that does not exist in normal human eyeballs.

Research on this material has found that the laser light excited by this material will theoretically have some special properties at a specific frequency. These properties can most likely be applied to three-dimensional projection technology. "

Obviously, experts cannot be sure that it can be applied to three-dimensional projection technology, but can only give a "high probability" judgment. After all, the human world has not mastered three-dimensional projection technology.

However, having this "extreme probability" is completely enough.

Lu Ming nodded silently.

Sure enough.

In this way, the logical chain of things will be complete.

"Perhaps... we can also check Shu Changshan's eyeballs."

After Shu Changshan's death, his body was frozen in the morgue of the temporary base and was closely monitored.

If Shu Changshan had indeed been infected and mutated a long time ago, but still maintained his human appearance, then his eyeballs should also have this kind of material that normal people do not have.

"It has been checked. The expert team confirmed that Shu Changshan does have this substance in his eyeballs."

Then, there is tangible evidence that Shu Changshan mutated into a monster long ago.

Recalling the time he spent with Shu Changshan in the past, Lu Ming didn't know what it felt like.

He recalled the very human look in Shu Changshan's eyes before he died, praying for him to arrange his posthumous affairs.

Does this come from the monster that has taken over Shu Changshan's body, or is it the remaining bit of humanity left by Shu Changshan himself?

Lu Ming didn't know and couldn't judge.

"But... in short, no matter who you are, since I promised to take care of your son, I will definitely do it. Even if it is a little compensation for the victims of this incident."

After a moment of silence, the investigator with a poker face and a business-like appearance suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was startled.

"Lu Ming, thank you.

Our civilization is too big for me to represent it. On behalf of myself, my wife, children, parents, friends and relatives, I would like to express my gratitude to you.

Thank you for your efforts and dedication, thank you. "

Lu Ming was a little at a loss and quickly went over to help.

After a brief conversation, the investigators left, and Lu Ming truly regained his freedom.

"It's finally over, so good..."

Recalling the beginning of the incident, Lu Ming felt like he was in another world.

Virtual meeting room. The four members of Operation Team 2 met again.

"What a shame, we have been deceived by Shu Changshan for so long. It's a waste of my trust in him."

Lu Qingliang was very worried about this.

"I even doubt whether it is dead after all. Since it can disguise itself as organ failure and immune disorder, maybe even death is disguised."

Lu Ming said: "It should really be dead. This kind of monster... is quite cruel. The monsters mutated by Zhou Tianyang's team did not hesitate to be beaten to death by us in order to play double act with Shu Changshan. The monster Luo Yang mutated, in order to confuse us , willing to endure torture day and night. It is unlikely that Shu Changshan, a monster, would leave any hidden dangers just for his own life."

As long as it is not really dead, there will definitely be loopholes, and there will be hidden dangers of being discovered. In order to avoid hidden dangers, I had no choice but to really die.

Anyway, to the monsters, one's own life is nothing. It's good if you can achieve your goal.

"What I'm most worried about now is the future. God knows if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."

Regarding this problem, the second action team has no solution at all.

Zhang Dingshan said slowly: "According to expert analysis, the individual content of the substance present in the mutated eyeballs is very low. If you want to project a picture over the city, you need more of this substance. Moreover, This kind of material will also have losses. For monsters, the more the better.

Based on this, there is a high probability that all mutants gathered at the research institute at that time to provide as much of this substance as possible.

Of course, this is not absolute.

I heard some rumors, and the superiors are already discussing how to deal with the aftermath. There are many opinions and methods, but in summary, these are probably the few.

1. Strictly control the use of high-definition projection screens. Before each use, it needs to be reviewed remotely, and technical means are used to prevent the projection of images that are irrelevant to the application project.

Second, strictly block the CSK-9602 galaxy star map data and prohibit further observation by space telescopes.

Third, use the substance that exists in the eyeball as a marker to develop rapid and large-scale screening methods, which will then be put into places with high flow of people such as stations, airports, shopping malls, etc., and used together with other security facilities.

Fourth, set up a special team to screen suspected ‘infection’ incidents around the world, focusing on screening cases of unexplained madness, mental confusion and other cases.

Basically, these are the four items. There are some details on the rest, so I don’t need to go into details one by one. "

Lu Ming nodded: "Now, this is the only way."

After the discussion, Lu Qingliang said: "When will you come back?"

"Let's do some more cleaning up and get to the headquarters tomorrow at the latest."

…

The next day, everything was settled. Before setting off, Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and then said: "I want to see Experimental Subject No. 1 again."

The three of them came to the ward where Experimental Subject No. 1 was kept, and saw the monster still fixed on the hospital bed through the tempered glass.

At this moment, it is the only monster that is still alive that we know.

Lu Ming said slowly: "All the monsters' plans were made by you, right?"

The monster looked at the roof without any reaction.

"There is evidence that after mutation, you will still retain some human memories. I checked and found that Luo Yang is a person who is very interested in the so-called Cthulhu culture and is considered a fan. He even tried to write it himself Some novels with Cthulhu background.

I guess you inherited these memories and made the plan to use the so-called Cthulhu system to confuse us and cover up your true purpose, right? In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to stay here and accept our research and torture...

hehe. "

Lu Ming smiled lightly and shook his head.

"But unfortunately, it's useless. You may not know it yet, but your plan failed. Before you could show the projection over the city, the research institute had been bombed and destroyed. All your companions were dead, and they will not be there in the future. Your kind will appear again.

Just stay here and accept the research in peace. "

Lu Ming watched it silently, watching it go from being motionless to struggling and roaring.

Its voice was full of sadness, pain and ferocity. Its intensity has never been seen before. Not even when he was tortured by electric shock or pure oxygen.

But no matter how hard it struggled, it was of no use facing the constraints on its body.

He Wei clicked her tongue and sighed: "You are the one who kills people and kills your heart."

Lu Ming whispered: "Let's take a little revenge for Luo Yang, Shu Changshan, and Zhou Tianyang."

Of course, they were when they were still humans, not after they mutated into monsters.

Amidst the monster's struggling and howling, Lu Ming and others turned and left.

Headquarters, research office. In front of Lu Ming, Professor Ning appeared again with his assistant.

"Lu Ming, I heard about it. This incident is really... really thrilling."

Professor Ning sighed.

Lu Ming smiled.

To be honest, every incident seems to be thrilling.

"Tell me the story in detail."

Lu Ming began to tell. From the beginning of madness, to the emergence of mutation, the emergence of Shu Changshan, the Cthulhu system, until the end, it is completely told.

The time went from noon to evening.

Professor Ning thought in silence for a long time before saying, "Lu Ming, what do you think of this Magic Eye Galaxy?"

"Opinion?" Lu Ming smiled: "I feel that it is ridiculous to speculate on that kind of super civilization based on our level of technological development."

Professor Ning also laughed: "Even a frog in a well is qualified to talk about the universe and galaxies, isn't it?"

"That's true." Lu Ming nodded: "I have read a science fiction novel before, which describes a kind of large-scale life. Each star is one of its brain cells, and the stars are connected through light. , every time its brain spins a thought, for a life like us humans, billions of years have passed."

Professor Ning said, “I’ve seen it too.”

"The Magic Eye Galaxy is also likely to be a large-scale cosmic life. It itself is the queen ant, or the queen bee, and reproduces its own offspring by infecting those intelligent beings that have a certain amount of intelligence and have observed itself.

For it it's reproduction, but for an infected civilization it's not so great. "

Lu Ming spread his hands: "Of course, even if its life type is so strange, it is still within the scientific system and we can understand it - even if we can't understand it now, we can always understand it when technology develops."

Professor Ning agreed: "This is the biggest difference between the scientific system and the Cthulhu system, and it is also where they cannot be integrated. Science believes that the universe can be understood, while Cthulhu believes that the universe cannot be understood. There is a fundamental conflict between the two. Hmm, a very strange conjecture. Do you have any other conjectures?"
