Chapter 41 Have you really become a villain?
"Classmate Gao, we need to have a good talk with you about the recent matters related to the Civil Knights."
Inside a black business car, the lights are warm and yellow, the four door panels are wrapped in red satin, the seats are made of white leather, there is a table between the two seats in the back, and the two red table lamps on it are facing Gao Chen. .
Among them, a slightly younger man who took off his hat and shaved his head handed over a bottle of mineral water: "If you don't want to say it now, then drink some water first. We came all the way here and we are not in a hurry. For a while.”
Gao Chen sat on the soft seat, relaxed, his back sunk into the cushions, picked up the water bottle, rubbed the edge of the bottle with his fingertips, turned it around twice as if to play, and then said: "I'm just curious, why do you think I will be related to that folk knight. I am just an ordinary student who failed the college entrance examination."
The two men stopped him and took him to the car. Their attitude was quite polite and they claimed that they were the inspection team of the Dragon State Security Bureau.
Inspection Team——
This is already considered an orthodox government unit. Several presidents of the Knight Foundation have to bow their heads when they see them, which shows the status of the inspection team.
The reason for this is self-evident when seeing the 'Inspector'.
But the question is, why did he suddenly find him and ask him about the folk knights. Could it be that they are here to assist the Knight Foundation in its investigation?
"We know that the Knight Foundation is investigating you recently, and they suspect that you are related to the folk knight."
Another middle-aged man with two beards on his lips, a gentle and elegant appearance, and a tall bowler hat that looked like a gentleman, slowly said: "They do have a lot of information about you."
"A child who lived an ordinary life for the first seventeen years suddenly seemed to have opened up the second channel of Ren at the age of eighteen, and his fitness test began to improve by leaps and bounds, even to the point where he could be called a genius. Not only did they Doubtful, we were also surprised. How on earth did he do it?"
Gao Chen put down the water bottle, crossed his legs, and said, "So, this is the reason why you arrest people?"
"Sorry, classmate, you may have misunderstood our behavior. We did not force you to stay." The bearded man said apologetically: "If you feel that there is something we did that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at any time. of."
"Oh, thank you." Gao Chen stood up and said without giving any face, "Then I will go back first. Thank you both for your hospitality."
As soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, the bearded man said quickly: "However, the Knight Foundation in Qinggang City is looking for you all over the world, thinking that you are the folk knight. If you go out like this at this time, you will inevitably get into trouble. It’s all trouble.”
Hearing this, Gao Chen suddenly laughed. There is something in the words, what is the purpose of these two people?
However, from what the bearded man said just now, it doesn’t sound like he was with the Knight Foundation.
Oddly enough, shouldn't they be on the same side?
After all, all Knight Foundation authorities are involved, and the four major regional security bureaus can directly interfere with the foundation's internal management, strategy and development.
This piqued his interest.
Seeing Gao Chen stop, the bearded man took advantage of the victory and said, "We can help you deal with these troubles."
"No reward for no merit." Gao Chen said, "Besides, I don't need help."
After a long stalemate, the bearded man saw that the young man had turned the door handle, and he finally revealed his true purpose: "But we need your help."
Gao Chen twisted his hand halfway and retracted his hand: "What can I, an ordinary person, do to help you?"
"If you still feel relaxed after hearing the words "Inspection Team", you are no longer an ordinary person."
Seeing that there was something interesting to talk about, the bearded man stretched out his hand again and formally introduced himself: "Xinhai, the leader of the Qinggang Inspectorate Action Team this time. Next to me is Duan Xiaoyi, my team member. Like you, he is also a suitable person. Those who are capable.”
Next to him, the young man with a shaved head has broad shoulders and a thick neck. He looks quite strong.
But Gao Chen, who sat back, paid more attention to the last sentence and said, "I haven't officially become a fit person yet, but I'm working hard."
Xinhai smiled, his two delicate mustaches trembling slightly. He coughed twice and returned to the topic: "Then are you willing to help?"
Judging from what he meant, the guy in front of him probably already knew his true identity. Or it should be said that the other party was betting on whether he was the folk knight.
And Gao Chen was also betting, betting that if he admitted it frankly, it would be a trap set by the Knight Foundation, and what he said would be used as evidence in court.
Although these cannot be used as evidence directly, they are enough for him to stay in there for a while. When he first came to this world, he would have had no worries. If he was exposed, he would be exposed, and it didn't matter.
But it's different now, he has friends, buddies, helpful and caring neighbors - he has a weakness.
"New team leader, you have to give me a reason to help you."
Gao Chen finally chose to place a bet.
When Xinhai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "There is something wrong with our Knight Foundation. The situation is very complicated——"
"As early as the beginning of this year, in March, we discovered a type of zerg that has evolved to the point where it can fully integrate into human society. They disguise themselves as the people around us and are no longer what they used to be. They can only maintain their form. a couple of hours."
"Once this zerg takes human form, they become indistinguishable from normal humans."
"Moreover, the existence of this kind of zerg may not only last for a year or two, but may last for more than ten years, or even a hundred years!"
"I know you must be surprised now, but I want to say, maybe this is the truth of the world!"
Gao Chen's pupils gradually shrank. After listening, he raised his eyes and said slowly: "They are protozoa."
The young man looked calm and blurted out a new word, which stunned Xinhai and Duan Xiaoyi.
"protozoan?"
Xinhai quickly asked: "Do you know its existence?"
Gao Chen was silent for a moment, nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
Then, he continued: "They are good at disguising themselves as humans and living in this world like humans. Some are naturally gentle, while others are naturally violent and bloodthirsty. They are also a kind of creature in essence, but they are very different from humans. But. I don’t know exactly where they come from.”
At least in this world, Gao Chen didn't know where they came from.
After hearing this, Xinhai was shocked.
Who is the young man in front of me, and where does he know these things?
Xinhai didn't know the answer to this question, but he felt that he had made the right bet. This boy might be the folk knight, and he might really be able to help them!
Xinhai adjusted his mood and said: "After our investigations over the past few months, we have guessed that these zerg, no, as you said - protozoa. They have probably penetrated into every class of our society.
And our guess was right. Just last month, a combat team leader of the Songhua City Knight Foundation encountered an accident.
You may not have heard the news because we suppressed it.
The team leader's surname was Qing. He went out at night and was ambushed by zerg. He forgot to bring his gun. In order to protect himself, this guy directly transformed into the form of protozoa. He happened to be photographed by a late-arriving patrol. "
The protozoa have actually infiltrated the Foundation?
Gao Chen was slightly surprised. If there is this one, it means there are tens of millions more.
Thinking back to the Starscream that he beat away, perhaps, the opponent had already transformed into a human form, and might be lying in wait for an opportunity in some corner of the world.
"Following the clues we got from Songhua City, we investigated all the way to Qinggang City. At the same time, an unprecedented daytime insect plague broke out here."
Xinhai continued: "We checked the data on these insect pests and found that their genetic makeup is as high as 99% similar to that of protozoa."
Gao Chen thought thoughtfully, and according to their guess, the protozoa that attacked during the day during these times were also in human form on weekdays.
In other words, they have long been lurking in the crowd. Maybe your neighbors or teachers, they may be protozoa, or even your girlfriend who sleeps with you every day...
"Therefore, we found that the problems in Qinggang City may be more serious than other cities." Xinhai said: "Dai Ming, you should know this person, right?"
Gao Chen will never forget that the first driving card came from this kid.
Seeing the young man nodding, Xinhai continued: "After this period of investigation, we found that Dai Ming has recently been very close to Qinggang Lester Group, a company run by a lighthouse man.
Subsequent more in-depth investigation also found that the group may also be hiding protozoa, and the sitting position is not low. This shows that some of us humans are already complicit in these protozoa. "
When Xinhai said this, his tone was much heavier and he said: "So, I hope you can cooperate with us and help us clean up traitors like Dai Ming and clean up the protozoa lurking inside the foundation."
"However, the authorities do not want the protozoa incident to spread. Although Qinggang City has technical departments studying the daytime insect disaster incident, I don't think the research will last long."
Xinhai said: "These guys hiding in the shadows cannot allow us to discover them so easily. It will not take long for the research to continue. And we cannot be exposed."
One protozoa can become the leader of the Foundation, which means that there may be protozoa among them who have become capable.
Gao Chen seemed to understand. Why did Xinhai take the risk and come to him to cooperate rashly when he was not sure that he was the Imperial Cavalry? This was because he did not trust the capable people in the current foundation.
In addition, if the protozoa and the alien parties colluding with the Zerg are really spread throughout the Foundation and even the Security Bureau. If the authorities take charge personally, it will definitely cause a big chaos!
But with the current situation, this secret may not be hidden for long.
"What you mean is that you want me to help you get rid of them." Gao Chen didn't know how to describe it: "Why do you want me to be this villain?"
"Because only you have this ability, and only you can save this world that is about to perish."
Xinhai told the truth.
Since the discovery of protozoa, they have wanted to find a solution to these alien species. However, I couldn’t do it myself, and I couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
Until more than half a month ago, a magenta knight appeared. The power he displayed and the innovation of the driver's special skills were completely beyond the understanding of the knight system in the world today.
Last week, the foundation received intelligence and Gao Chen was listed as a suspect. They began to investigate and found that this person had no background, had no connection with the consortium or the media, and had a clean background. Most importantly, he was listed as a wanted person by the Knight Foundation - they found that this was the best candidate.
Seeing the boy's hesitation, Xinhai said: "Today's world is gradually being eaten away by protozoa, and someone must stand up."
"Interesting, you just want me to work for you with just a few words?" Gao Chen said: "Is my labor so cheap? Besides, whether I help or not, the Knight Foundation has already regarded me as an enemy, and even you all I am sure that I am 'him', how could they not know it clearly?"
Xinhai said: "Leave this to us."
