Indescribable cyberpunk - #654 - Chapter 636 Sudden Death
In the living room.
The suitcase was placed next to the cupboard, and a half-drunk glass of scarlet wine was placed on the table.
The young man stood in front of the full-length mirror, carefully arranging his clothes. In his sunken eye sockets, his emerald green pupils stared at himself in the mirror.
The hollow silver-white eyeball in the middle of the Eye of Spiritual Vision necklace hanging on the chest glowed faintly under the light in the room.
“Mr. Lawrence, there is a communication request from Mr. Grand.”
The smart butler’s notification prompts sound accompanied by soft music.
“Connected.”
“OK.”
After a short pause, a “beep~” sound indicates switching to communication.
“Newcastle just contacted me and said that he wanted to visit you but didn’t know your address and wanted me to tell him.”
Grand’s voice sounded a little hesitant. He had never arranged a residence for this so-called “student”. Newcastle suddenly came to him to inquire, which made him a little confused for a while. He had to call to ask for the exact address to temporarily stall. .
“In half an hour I have to board a plane back to the Holy City. The Security Department, the Archaeological Association, and now the Epidemic Prevention Center all want to see me all of a sudden. Director Grand, don’t you think it’s a bit of a coincidence?”
Looking at the time on his watch, Lawrence adjusted the position of his tie unhurriedly, but his tone became colder.
“.I didn’t betray you.”
After a brief silence, Grand replied.
“I know that Director Grand has just completed the agreement and has not yet fully obtained what he wants. There is really no reason to choose this time to betray me.”
Lowering his head and stretching out the hem of his shirt, Lawrence continued,
“Calculating the time, the president of the Archaeological Association, his subordinates and Sako should be almost at my door. Director Grand, how do you think I should deal with them?”
“Leave Thousand Sails City directly. It is impossible for them to find out that there is something wrong with you. At most, they will just be suspicious. Otherwise, Newcastle will not come to ask me. It is not difficult to know your location through heaven.”
It’s just that the best way that Grand can think of is to avoid all requests to meet. When he returns to the Holy City, naturally no one will go there specifically to ask for someone.
“No, I told Colonel Sacco to be at home awaiting their arrival.”
As early as ten minutes ago, Lawrence agreed to the request of Colonel Sacco and the Archaeological Association to visit, and specifically reminded them to come as soon as possible.
He didn’t have much time to wait for anyone.
“Why?”
Grand didn’t understand that Lawrence wanted to agree to the other party’s request to meet. .
“The Archaeological Association is involved in the investigation of the Ouroboros organization. This is not good news. We spent a lot of effort to pick them out some time ago. Unexpectedly, those guys still want to get involved. Virginia, the branch president, personally led Team, huh. There is a special item called the Soul Stone within the Archaeological Association, which can detect the state of anyone’s soul. Does Director Grand think that President Virginia will carry this item with him?”
As he was talking to himself, Lawrence looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly raised his right hand to pinch his cheek. His fingers worked hard, pinching the flesh on both sides until they were dented, red, and swaying from side to side, like someone buying meat in the market. The aunt looked back and forth to observe the quality of the meat, but his eyes were indifferent and cold, and after a long time he sighed inexplicably,
“I’m actually very satisfied with this face.”
Communication hung up.
Laurence gave Grand no chance to continue speaking.
The reason is simple. The smart butler showed an image of an airship landing on the street outside.
Street side.
Colonel Sacco stood in front of Virginia’s group. He and Lawrence had worked together for a while in the lower-class community, so he would be responsible for introducing both parties later. They didn’t have much time, so he planned to simplify the introduction process as much as possible. Just give each other’s identity names.
“I don’t know if Mr. Newcastle can arrive before Lawrence leaves. He suddenly contacted me just now and wants to know where Lawrence lives. I can only hope that his airboat is fast enough.”
Turning sideways and talking to the three people behind him, Sako walked to the door first and pressed the doorbell button.
Jingle bell bell~
Lawrence picked up his suitcase and walked toward the door. He stopped at the entrance, pushed the suitcase behind the shoe cabinet, made a special effort to cover it, and bent down to put on his leather boots.
When he got up, the beige light in the corridor shone on his fair and handsome face, and his gentle smile appeared again.
He grabbed the door handle and pulled the door back, revealing several people standing at the door.
Lawrence looked at Colonel Sacco, nodded in greeting and stretched out his right hand. The latter was also subconsciously preparing to shake hands with Lawrence, also with a smile on his face.
The three Virginians were still one step away from Colonel Sacco, waiting for him to introduce Lawrence. Their eyes focused on Lawrence who opened the door, wanting to see what this figure from the Holy City looked like.
Phew~
There was a muffled sound, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Four fingers penetrated the neck, and then moved laterally. In the blink of an eye, the head flew out to the left. At the same time, a foot kicked on the abdomen of Colonel Sacco, kicking all the headless corpses towards the three members of the Archaeological Association.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that even Sacco didn’t have time to react, with a smile on his face.
The dripping blood spurting out from the neck wound uncontrollably raised a curtain of blood in mid-air!
Fujita and Hector reached for the medicine box at their waists as if facing a formidable enemy. Virginia took out the soul stone from her pocket and lowered her eyes to see black-red mist filling it.
“Be careful, this guy is definitely not an ordinary cultist.”
Virginia, who clearly knew what it meant for the soul stone to be in this state, looked a little ugly.
She never expected that the soul of a person who helped the Qianfan City government eliminate contaminated areas would sink to this level. Even she had never seen a human being who still remained “normal” in this state.
I didn’t expect that the other party would attack so cruelly!
“Good evening, everyone.”
With his bleeding right hand hanging by his side, Lawrence smiled and greeted the remaining three people, paused, and then said,
“In this case, I think you will soon fall into a permanent slumber, so maybe ‘good night’ would be better?”
Perhaps the short break in the afternoon allowed the thick lead-gray clouds in the sky to gather enough strength.
It was just dark, and freezing rain and sleet started falling in Qianfan City again.
On the lawn in front of the single-family villa, Zhu Jue held an umbrella and looked helplessly at the mess on the ground.
There was a headless corpse lying at the door, and in front of his feet was a man whose body still maintained mutation. He should be a man who had taken the evolutionary potion. His chest was penetrated, and the wound seemed to have been burned by flames. White smoke rises.
Gu Yinxing was testing the breath of a man whose arms were torn off by violence. After a while, he looked at Zhu Jue and shook his head.
Lying next to Suzi was a tall woman with a penetrating wound to her abdomen. Her blond hair was scattered on the lawn. Her clothes were a little messy, as if someone had rummaged through her body for something.
“The insignia of the Archaeological Association and the uniform of the Colonel of the Security Department. They should be the people Lawrence mentioned. We are late!”
Suzi looked at the badge on the woman’s chest, glanced at the headless corpse at the door, and said.
“How come no one from the security department arrived so soon? It means that the battle here has just ended and the body is still a little warm. Lawrence should have left not long ago. If I remember correctly, Newcastle said before that he was planning to return to the Holy City, so He should be on his way to the airport now, Suzi, check that the flight will take off in half an hour, and its destination is the Holy City.”
I thought that these people would be able to temporarily delay Lawrence at home, but who would have thought that the guy was so decisive that he could kill three people, including the branch president of the Archaeological Association, in such a short period of time.
Its strength probably cannot be underestimated.
But precisely because of this, Zhu Jue is now certain that Lawrence is the real identity of the “Fire Soul” he saw in Gadamun’s illusion.
With a soul state that is completely different from the ordinary cadres of the Ouroboros organization, Zhu Jue has reason to suspect that Lawrence is not a member of the Ouroboros organization, but an important cadre of the “Zero” organization.
Not only was he specially placed into the government, but he was also able to manipulate everything secretly with such ease.
If you didn’t have absolute confidence in your own strength, how could you dare to take on such a task?
“There are two airports located in Community No. 6. The nearest is Beidou Airport 7 kilometers away, but this is only a public airport. Lawrence’s identity is different. He is likely to take a private plane, and he told Colonel Sacco that he will return The news from the Holy City is only verbal, so we do not rule out the possibility that we have already planned to kill these people here and then escape, and use this information to disrupt the search direction of the security department!”
It can be said that this is their most likely chance to find Lawrence. Mozi does not dare to draw rash conclusions. If the judgment is wrong, it will be the same as trying to find Lawrence under the cover of the Ouroboros organization in a super city with a population of tens of millions. Looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Tsk, contact Newcastle and ask him to notify the security department. Damn it, it will definitely be too late.”
Zhu Jue asked the Security Department to help locate the target, and then thought of waiting for him to notify Newcastle, who would then contact the Security Department. Newcastle might not know where he had gone.
Buzz~~~
The cell phone in his pocket suddenly started to vibrate. Zhu Jue reached out to get it. He didn’t remember that he had turned on the vibrate mode.
However, when he took out his phone to check the situation, his movements were stagnant. The lock screen of his phone suddenly turned into a dish of minced garlic soy sauce!
Before he could enter his fingerprint, the phone automatically unlocked. In the next second, it seemed as if an invisible hand was operating the screen for him. He clicked on the map software and quickly entered a series of codes. A red dot immediately appeared on the map, followed by another. An arrow pointed to it appeared, with the words Lawrence!
“Who is it? It doesn’t matter, you didn’t lie to me last time, so I’ll trust you again, Suzi, I know where Lawrence is, hurry up and drive.”
Zhu Jue looked at the moving red dots on the map in surprise. He recognized the logo of minced garlic soy sauce. Last time, the other party provided him with the members of the Ouroboros organization who attacked Gu Gingxing to help him find Father Kane. This time, they actually provided him with the information. Lawrence location information.
Although I don’t quite understand how the other party did this, it is undoubtedly a more reliable choice than struggling here.
“clear.”
After hearing Zhu Jue’s words, Su Zi immediately stood up and prepared to launch the airship.
But just as she turned around to leave.
But his ankle was clenched tightly by a bloody palm!
“Take me with you.”
Virginia, who had been lying on the lawn with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. The light representing life in her pupils seemed as fragile as a candle in the wind.
While speaking, something seemed to be shattering on his chest, and the light green fluorescence suddenly lit up.
