Chapter 396 Killer Gang
The specific origin of Black and White Impermanence is difficult to verify, but according to the information Lu Ming consulted, it is believed that the legends of these two should have originated in the Yuan Dynasty. However, before the Yuan Dynasty, there were already images of soul seducers, one black and one white, in folklore whose duty was to chase souls and seek their lives.
As for the legends about the underworld and hell, they are even older and cannot be verified at all.
Lu Ming believed that the situation he was facing at the moment, those like Han Rui who claimed to be seducers and wore white hats on their heads when seducing, and the organizations they belonged to, had a certain possibility to be different from folklore. It is related to the underworld, black and white, impermanence and so on.
If this organization existed first, then there is a possibility: perhaps people in ancient times accidentally saw the seducers "demanding their lives", saw the white hats on their heads, and saw their costumes that may be different from ordinary people. , spread from ten to ten, and then gradually gave birth to the legend of black and white impermanence among the people.
In this case, the history of this organization's existence is very long, and it is even possible that this organization has existed in the early days of mankind.
If the opposite is true, then it is possible that the founder of this organization was influenced by legends such as the underworld and black and white impermanence, so he named the personnel in his own organization as soul seducers. When determining the method of seducing souls, he adopted The image of wearing a white hat on the head.
In this case, the existence of this secret organization may not last long.
But obviously, this information is of little use to the second operation team at this moment. It is unlikely that our side will use these myths and legends to achieve certain goals in reality.
Every myth and legend spread among the people has gone through too many times of processing, secondary processing, third processing, multiple processing, it is not uncommon. Each processing process, while making the myths, legends and stories more detailed, also makes them deviate further from the original version.
Just like the impermanence of black and white, there are versions of Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian in myths and legends, as well as versions of Han De and Lu.
After Lu Ming's initial thoughts, he had given up trying to find clues.
In the process of continuously "making trouble" for that secret organization, time passed slowly.
During this period, Hu Shan had four more dreams about the deaths of four people. Except for one person who died in the near future, the other three died in a relatively long time. Similarly, Operation Team Two ignored the three people who were older and started monitoring the person who died more recently. The actions of the secret organization were the same as before. They were also tentative actions in the early stages. After sensing that someone was watching, they immediately retreated and disappeared without a trace.
Originally, Lu Ming thought that this time would be the same as before, and that this man named Wang Ruiyang would also survive well.
But something unexpected happened to him and the other three members of Operations Team 2.
On the scheduled day of death, Wang Ruiyang, who Hu Shan dreamed would commit suicide, was walking on the road and suddenly fell down and never got up again.
The surveillance personnel hiding in the dark rushed out immediately. After first aid failed, they quickly sent him to the hospital. But the doctor did not start rescuing him at all. After a simple examination, he was pronounced dead.
Wang Ruiyang died like this.
Lu Ming, Zhang Dingshan, and He Wei rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.
After taking over the power to handle the matter, Zhang Dingshan decisively issued an order without waiting for communication with the family: "Carry out an autopsy immediately to confirm the cause of death."
The forensic doctors pushed Wang Ruiyang's body to the autopsy room. In the outer office, Lu Ming frowned.
He didn't know if Wang Ruiyang's death was really an accident. For example, if he really died of some sudden illness, or if it was related to the secret organization.
If it is the latter, it obviously means that there are some new changes in the situation at this moment.
The autopsy took five hours. After that, a exclamation suddenly appeared in the anatomy room. The three people waiting outside immediately rushed in and saw next to Wang Ruiyang's body. A forensic doctor pointed at Wang Ruiyang's head with some horror and shouted: "Look, the brain tissue is ripe, how is it possible? What's going on?" "
Lu Ming, who had received a lot of special training, was now able to face the bloody corpse with a normal attitude. He put on a mask, walked over, took a closer look at Wang Ruiyang's brain tissue, and saw that, as the forensic doctor said, it was all cooked.
Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Aside from the brain tissue mutation, were there any fatal injuries to other parts of the deceased?"
The forensic doctor was shocked and said: "We have checked in detail and the rest of the deceased's organs and parts are all very healthy. Only the brain tissue has undergone such incomprehensible changes. It seems that this is the cause of his death. You... you are the superior leaders. Right? This, I have never seen this kind of change before, it is of great research value, can I participate in the follow-up examination? "
Zhang Dingshan said: "Sorry, this incident involves confidentiality. By the way, please sign a confidentiality agreement. Today's matter must be kept confidential."
The forensic doctor was helpless: "Okay."
The three forensic doctors left in a hurry. In the autopsy room, the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw a heaviness in each other's eyes.
There is no doubt anymore. Wang Ruiyang's death was caused by that secret organization. After realizing that due to their own intervention, they could no longer arrange for Wang Ruiyang to die according to the planned death method, they took action directly and took away Wang Ruiyang's life.
This change seems to mean that a decision has been made within the secret organization. They broke free from the shackles and no longer adhered to the restrictions of the past.
Suddenly, Lu Ming remembered something again.
"Today is Wang Ruiyang's scheduled death date. Although Wang Ruiyang did not die in the scheduled way, he died after all. So... will those whose death dates have passed will die?"
If the secret organization no longer cares about whether to die in the planned way, will they directly kill Zhao Zonghai and others?
"And... Hu Shan!"
Thinking of Hu Shan, Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Hu Shan is the source of all events and the only bargaining chip in our hands. If Hu Shan dies, we won't even be able to tell who are the victims!
Zhang Dingshan made a decisive decision: "Immediately protect those who have passed their death date and take them to the underground base! As for Hu Shan..."
He shook his head and said nothing more.
Hu Shan is now under the highest level of protection.
They have been taken to a top-secret underground base, how can they be protected?
"The three of us will split up and lead some guards each. Move faster!"
The three of them rushed out of the hospital without any hesitation. The guards distributed in various cities also rushed towards the target under the command of the three people.
As of now, there are ten people rescued by our side, namely Zhao Zonghai, Cheng Jianchao and others. Including Zhang Xiaolei, who was not rescued by himself but survived, there are eleven in total.
Lu Ming will be responsible for three of them, namely Zhao Zonghai, Liu Zijuan, and Zhu Rui.
Sitting in command, Lu Ming saw several police cars on the screen in front of him, sirens blaring, heading straight to Zhao Zonghai's house. Then, with Zhao Zonghai's face full of confusion, he showed his ID.
"We are from the Public Security Bureau. We have received clues that there is a killer gang that is roaming around and is targeting you. This killer gang is extremely vicious and has mastered powerful weapons. You are in danger now. In order to better protect you, please Come with us."
Zhao Zonghai's eyes nearly popped out of his head: "What the hell? A gang of killers? Targeting me? Are you kidding me? I'm so poor that I can barely afford my children's school fees. Why are you targeting me? You can't be liars. Right? You must be liars and kidnappers! You are pretending to be a security guard, please leave now, or I will call the police if you don’t leave!"
Zhao Zonghai looked fierce and angry, and roared loudly. The leading guard directly pulled the other security guard over: "Do you know him? The person in charge of security in your area! And this one, do you know him? The director of your community!"
The person in charge of security and supervisors both advised: "Old Zhao, these people are really not liars or kidnappers. They are from above! Our security bureau has been alarmed. Look, there are so many police cars, how can they be liars?" Well! Lao Zhao, you are in danger now. If you want to survive, just cooperate. Oh my god, the killer gang..."
With the endorsement of local security guards and officials, Zhao Zonghai finally believed it, but it still felt like a dream.
This, this... I'm just an ordinary person, why am I being targeted by a killer group? I didn't do anything, what a psychotic killer, why are you targeting me!
A group of guards pulled Zhao Zonghai into the police car and then sped away. The local security chief and community director stayed here and kept explaining to the growing number of onlookers: "Old Zhao did not commit a crime, he was not arrested, he was targeted by a killer gang and is very dangerous. The security guards are here to To protect him..."
This was specially arranged by Lu Ming to protect the reputation of the parties concerned.
Zhao Zonghai was okay for the time being, so Lu Ming turned his attention to another survivor, Liu Zijuan.
Liu Zijuan is a middle school girl. At this moment, after the intervention of the second action team, the school bullies and the people behind the school bullies have been sent to prison and received the punishment they deserve.
At this moment, a group of guards broke into the campus and, accompanied by the local security chief, community supervisors, education personnel, etc., went directly to the principal's office. The principal immediately sent someone to call Liu Zijuan over. Her parents have also been notified and are coming quickly.
During this period of time, there were always people secretly protecting Liu Zijuan. Calling her and her parents to the principal's office at this moment was just to have an explanation on the surface.
After hearing the guards say that they were "targeted by a killer group," the principal, Liu Zijuan himself, and his parents were all shocked and dumbfounded, and had the same reaction as Zhao Zonghai.
This kind of thing is really unimaginable for ordinary people. But faced with such an authoritative endorsement, they could only choose to believe it and agreed to the guards' request to take Liu Zijuan away for protection.
But something unexpected happened again. Just after everyone had finished talking and confirmed the follow-up plan, in full view of everyone and under the protection of many guards, Liu Zijuan, who was frightened and trembling, suddenly staggered and fell directly to the ground, never moving again.
A life of just ten years old was lost.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ming stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists, and his face was ashen.
Liu Zijuan was quickly carried to the car and sent to the hospital. But Lu Ming knew that the matter was probably irreversible.
Seeing Lu Ming's actions, He Wei turned her head and asked with her eyes. Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Zijuan, he's dead."
Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "One of my survivors also died. When the guards arrived, he had already died in his rental house."
In the command room, the atmosphere was as heavy as mercury. After a moment, He Wei spoke with self-blame: "Are our actions too slow? If, if we had taken them to the underground base to protect them before, wouldn't they have died... "
Although Lu Ming's heart was full of heaviness and anger, he still maintained his rationality. He shook his head: "No, our actions have been fast enough. We cannot ask ourselves to accurately predict the future development of the incident at the beginning. At least until that secret organization changes their style of doing things, don't interrupt It is most appropriate for these parties to live a normal life and only send personnel to covertly protect them.”
After all, we are also moving forward through constant exploration. We are not an omniscient and omnipotent God.
Operation Team Two had moved quickly enough, but by the end of the mission and all survivors, including Zhang Xiaolei, were sent to the underground base, four survivors were still dead in this short period of time.
After further examination, the cause of death was surprisingly consistent.
All of them had the same cause of death as Han Rui back then and Wang Ruiyang now.
At this moment, these seven survivors, like Hu Shan, are protected by the most advanced security measures.
monitoring room. Lu Ming felt heavy in his heart when he looked at the survivors who were experiencing novelty, excitement, uneasiness and anxiety.
He was not sure whether his so-called top security measures were of any use to that secretive organization. But he can be sure of one thing, that is, he has done everything he can. If even the current level of security cannot stop the assassination of that secret organization, then...
We really have no choice but to let it go.
Amidst this anxiety, Lu Ming tossed and turned for a long time before slowly falling asleep. But before he could sleep for long, a piercing siren woke him up.
He raised his head and subconsciously looked at the monitoring screen. He immediately saw that Zhao Zonghai, one of the seven survivors, had fallen to the ground and lost all signs of life.
