Chapter 851 You Don’t Have Enough Action Points
The new head of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau was attacked and killed during the investigation of the case. Catherine, who was originally transferred from the case, had to take over the task at the critical moment. She received another transfer order within two days of being transferred to another city.
It was as if someone had changed, and suddenly they began to trust her ability again, and asked her to catch the Vadim gang who killed the investigation bureau agents.
Regarding this series of orders, Catherine only had one idea.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with you, even Party A doesn't torture people like this.
The only thing that comforted her was that this investigation did not start from scratch. Her "predecessor" found out a lot about Vadim, including that he had been receiving support from Kolo Films and Military Technology, and that he was in District 4. According to the laws of the coalition government, he committed many crimes during this period, which were enough to get him shot several times.
Another good news is that before the Bureau of Investigation took action, someone had already helped them destroy Vadim's main hideout in District 4.
His cronies were not able to escape, and were all taken back to the investigation bureau.
What's even more unexpected is that according to Vadim's men's confession, it was a man wearing a cartoon big bad wolf mask who single-handedly destroyed their den. They were just glared at by the other party, and the prosthetic bodies all over their bodies fell into... an abnormal state.
The follow-up investigation surprised Catherine even more. Even the doorman who showed Vadim the door had a degree of prosthetic transformation as high as 22%.
You must know that this is a level that even the people in the front-line departments of the coalition government cannot reach!
And such a group of prosthetic transformation maniacs were annihilated after just one look?
Catherine couldn't rest at all the night she returned to District 4. She had to sort out the whole incident alone in her office.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Dawn was coming soon. Vadim was holding a wine bottle in his hand, and his walking style was particularly windy. Everyone he met on the road saw him and took the initiative to make way for him - he was one of the few people in the black market. Many people don't need to use masks to cover themselves. He hopes that everyone will know him and know who is covering this street now.
He hasn't been as happy as he was today for a long time.
Alcohol, women, illegal drugs, and perverted performances on the black market can only bring short-term excitement. This was originally Vadim's dream life, but as he stayed in District 4 longer, he became less interested in these entertainment projects. The more numb he becomes, only changes from the inside out can rekindle the passion in his life.
In the words of the blue-eyed corporate man, this is evolution.
After undergoing several prosthetic transplant surgeries, his body has completed its transformation and reached a perfect state.
Just now, Vadim experienced the pure power brought by evolution.
When the "Overload Type IV" was turned on, it seemed as if the entire world's time had come to a standstill for him. Even the senior agents of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau were frozen in place. In this state, Everyone is equal.
What he meant was that cutting off the senior agent's head was no more difficult than cutting off other people's heads.
Under the stimulation of strong alcohol, Vadim couldn't help but recall his life in District 17.
At that time, the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau was still an existence that they could not look directly at. There were many terrible rumors about the Bureau on the road, saying that once those people were provoked, they would disappear from the world, and even Chai Ke, who was known as the underground emperor, would disappear. No exception.
Yes, there is also Chai Ke.
This familiar name came to his mind.
He became the loser in the battle for territory with Chai Ke, but Vadim never thought that it was Chai Ke who defeated him, but that the Foster family to which the other party relied was secretly controlling everything. As for Chai Ke, He is nothing more than a watchdog working for the Foster family.
It was from that moment that Vadim saw the nature of the world clearly.
At least within the coalition government, those big shots, no matter how glamorous they seem, are just puppets controlled by the company, and now, he has found a backer with a better background than the Foster family.
During this period, he felt the changes in his body bit by bit. The experience in the private clinic just now convinced Vadim that if he met Chaiko again, cutting off the latter's head would be as easy as chopping vegetables.
It's a pity that this wish hidden deep in his heart is destined to not be realized.
A long time ago, he heard from the company some things that happened in the 17th District, including the fact that the local snake Chai Ke had been killed and the Foster family had also withdrawn from the 17th District.
What Vadim couldn't understand even more was the coward known as "Rat" on the road, the eight-figure bounty on his head, and the second-in-command of the Eschenweg Army. This was not even the same as the underground meeting in District 17 that he remembered. The cowards who dare to take a breath are far away.
He took another sip of wine.
When he put down the bottle, the world in Vadim's eyes once again came to a standstill, and he became the only person who could freely travel through the gaps in time.
He has become more and more comfortable controlling the "Overload Type IV", and it once made him feel that he and the people around him who were frozen in place became a different species.
Perhaps this is what “evolution” really means.
Vadim wanted to return to his villa as soon as possible and let his cronies know the series of changes that had happened to him. At the same time, in a secret corner of his heart, he also questioned the arrangements of Kolo Films.
Why does he, as a person who has completed his evolution, have to take orders from a group of mortals?
Especially the weak ones who can't even save their own lives.
The death of the founder of Kolo Films plunged the entire company into a whirlpool of infighting, and Vadim smelled an opportunity.
However, when the slowed time in his eyes resumed flowing again, all the beautiful visions of the future were terminated at this moment.
The wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the isolation tape pulled up by the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau.
His private fortress was empty, and dried blood and some broken prosthetic parts could be seen along the way.
There were bullet holes everywhere, and he could imagine a fierce battle had taken place here.
The originally lively place became silent. Vadim quickly walked into the villa. Not surprisingly, his home was full of signs of being disturbed.
A hacker broke into the security system and deleted all the surveillance videos after he left.
Under the influence of alcohol, hot blood rushed to his brain, so that Vadim only had one thought at the moment - to bloodbath the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau.
In the past, he might have been afraid of the name of the Bureau of Investigation, but now that he has "Overload Type IV", all he needs to do is walk into the door of the Bureau of Investigation and chop down every agent he encounters with a thermal cutting blade. head.
Movement from the living room stopped him.
Vadim looked around, and a familiar figure appeared in his living room in the form of a holographic image. The figure seemed to see through his thoughts, and said in his usual plain but unquestionable tone, "Your transformation It's all done. Now, go find the child named Monica and recover her chip... This is the place where she last appeared. Start looking for it from here."
The information that emerged in his mind reduced Vadim's anger a bit, preventing him from making irrational judgments.
There seemed to be a voice in his heart reminding him that it was the company that gave him the qualifications to complete his evolution, and of course they could take it back at any time.
"You mean to let this matter go? Someone broke into my home, hurt my people, and took them back to the station!"
This is undoubtedly the greatest provocation to him.
"We don't care about this. The company only cares about whether you can get the chip back."
The figure said indifferently, "You have one day to complete the tasks assigned to you by the company."
"……I see."
Vadim gritted his teeth but could do nothing. He paused and suddenly said, "That means that after completing this job, no matter what I want to do, the company will not interfere, right?"
"Finish the mission first."
After leaving such a sentence, the figure disappeared without a trace.
…………………………
Meanwhile, the Eden Hotel.
"The interference is happening again."
Lu Xiang gradually figured out the pattern. The appearance of the snowflake screen seemed to be the interference caused by the person in the company. After the figure disappeared, the picture in the villa returned to normal.
She witnessed through the screen how Vadim dared not speak out about the company, and in the end he could only smash and smash things at home in a rage of incompetence.
In Song Lan's words, the appearance of the figure made Vadim make a decision that would extend his life.
If he insists on breaking into the investigation bureau and killing people, it is very likely that some enthusiastic citizens who can't stand it will stop this atrocity.
"Are you going to get rid of him?"
Lu Xiang turned around and asked.
The first time he returned to the apartment, the dumb bird excitedly took out the tablet he carried with him and lay on the bed - Lili Guan sent him some internal resources of Khloe Pictures on the way back. , all movies released in the past week.
Song Lan is a happy-go-lucky person.
This is mainly reflected in the fact that when he knew that he was destined to stay up all night tonight, he did not complain about others, but gave full play to his subjective initiative and found ways to spend his time.
"Let's keep it for now. I think he is quite suitable to be the villain of this season of "Master Rescuer"."
Although he didn't watch the surveillance just now, he learned through Lu Xiang's mouth that Vadim's walking posture became particularly arrogant after completing the final transformation of the prosthetic body.
The emergence of "Overload Type IV" also pushed the major version of the coalition government to 1. The ending of dying in a corner is a bit too tragic.
After all, Song Lan didn't want his fellow countryman to die with hatred.
Of course, what's more important is that according to the "game" settings, he has been out for too long tonight and has seriously insufficient action points. Once he goes to bed, no one can get him out of bed before dawn.
"This is an opportunity to expose Khloe Films."
Lu Xiang thought thoughtfully, a villain who died on the street corner and no one knew him could prove anything. What people need is an ending full of District 4 style, "What is stored in the chip is the biological laboratory built by Kolo Films. As well as direct evidence of the plan to support criminals, the company’s top management is still making last-ditch efforts to cover up all this...and you plan to use Vadim to come out and speak out so that everyone can see what the company has done over the years.”
A real criminal leader is easier to believe than cold data.
As expected of a supervisor!
Song Lan had to praise Lu Xiang's insight in his heart. He just said it casually, and the supervisor completed a complete plan for him, and made his "stand still" strategy sound as sophisticated as a military strategist.
Lu Xiang continued, "You plan to hand over Vadim to the program team, and the direction of our investigation is the 'blue eyes' who are behind the scenes and give orders to Vadim?"
"You're right, this is my entire plan."
Song Lan immediately followed Lu Xiang's words and said.
The plan sounded reasonable, and now it was his.
Lu Xiang did not respond immediately. She remained quiet, supported her chin with both hands, and observed Song Lan for three minutes. During this period, Song Lan did not notice that she was being stared at. She was still staring at the tablet screen with all her concentration. The sound of movie special effects can be heard from far away.
She frowned and suddenly felt that things were not simple.
"Or are you just in bed and don't want to get off?"
If it were anyone else, Song Lan would have been able to fool him, but she knew this stupid bird too well, and it was entirely possible for him to save Vadim's life because he was "too lazy to get out of bed."
"...How could it be? I, I am thinking about the show team of "Master Rescuer". The stunts this season are so big, if the audience finds out that they actually did nothing, they will definitely curse them."
Having been exposed, Song Lan's face froze, and she subconsciously pressed pause play.
Every detail of this series of actions reflects his guilty conscience.
Lu Xiang was very familiar with the other party's reaction when his lies were exposed.
Generally speaking, Song Lan deserves to be called a professional fraudster, but it is inevitable that he will be exposed in daily life.
"To be honest, I've never accused you of being lazy, but it would be another problem if you lied."
Lu Xiang glanced at the time, his eyes clear.
Today's work has come to an end, there are still two hours until dawn, she has enough time to figure this out.
"I admit... lack of action points is indeed one of the reasons, but it only accounts for a very small proportion."
"I won't criticize you even if it takes a big part. You've worked hard enough tonight."
Facing Song Lan's "confession", Lu Xiang smiled.
Song Lan admitted that she was dazzled by this smile.
However, just when he thought this was a gentle supervisor who was considerate of the people and did not want his subordinates to be overworked, an unknown voice came over.
——"Insufficient action points...means you are trapped in the bed now and can't get out, right?"
The two hundred and eighteen of the small theater:
A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Wednesday, early morning
The turmoil in District 17 came to a successful end, and Minister Song once again defended the security of the coalition government.
This morning, all public officials of the coalition government received this exciting news. Those dangerous elements active in the "outside world" were all repelled. Song Lan almost single-handedly blocked all enemies at the border. outside.
The myth of Song Lan's invincibility spread once again.
However, there are also rumors that the minister was seriously injured in this battle and has already taken a month's leave. This time, even Minister Lu also took a leave and stayed at home to take care of his daily life.
Many people feel ashamed about this.
They remembered that Minister Song looked exhausted every time after a business trip. He had really paid too much for the coalition government.
Therefore, they unanimously decided to buy some gifts for the minister to express their highest respect.
Not too long ago, they had sent out a delivery person.
However, half an hour later, the deliveryman returned and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
He claimed that he had not met Song Lan directly.
The department's gifts were inspected by Minister Lu.
The apartment was eerily quiet, even eerie.
After some calculations, they suddenly discovered that they had only heard rumors of the minister's triumphant return, but no one had ever seen the minister.
"Minister Song, he..."
Finally, someone spoke out the ominous premonition hidden in people's hearts, "You won't be killed, right?"
