Chapter 8 The end is coming (8)
These two people came here for the protozoa and the imperial knight...
despair--
Gao Chen couldn't help but take a step back and distance himself from the two people in front of him.
Sakai hid his eyes under the brim of his hat and saw the boy's slight expression. He said with a smile in his eyes: "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking."
"I don't think it's a joke."
Gao Chen's eyes were cold. These two people had been following him all day long, and it was definitely more than just running over to make a joke with him.
Besides, what I just said was not a joke.
Although the drunkard always said that what he said was a joke, Gao Chen knew that the other party would not let it go: "Yuan Zhenghua's death is indeed related to me."
Ayumi Miyazaki was stunned. He said in his heart that this guy spoke so directly. This is completely ignoring them! Then I just took a step back. He immediately asked: "Then you are the folk knight inferred by the media?"
Sakai patted his cheap partner on the shoulder and told him to shut up and stop talking. Then, he looked at the young man with gray eyes and asked, "How did you know that he was a protozoa?"
"Why should I tell you?" Gao Chen showed a sly expression: "I don't even know who you two are. What if you are also protozoa? Besides, you really don't look like Good people."
"If you don't want to say it, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush and scold us." Taoist Sakai scratched the back of his head. He could still maintain a calm mind and talk to the young man in front of him: "You said that just to make conditions? Say it. ,what do you want."
The key now is not whether the other party is the folk knight, but that the other party has killed Yuan Zhenghua and has the method to identify the protozoa. This is what Taoist Sakai needs. For him, being in a foreign country and having one more friend is much better than having one more enemy.
"If you really want to know, come see me at the restaurant at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon." Gao Chen did not answer directly. He knew that now was not the time to negotiate terms: "Before that, I hope that we can keep each other's secrets. I don’t want to see the identity of the protozoa known to the siblings today. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything.”
Sakai looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, that would be perfect."
"You two, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Gao Chen got on the motorcycle and left on the motorcycle.
Looking at the young man disappearing at the intersection, Miyazaki stepped forward and asked, "Senior, are you just going to let him go?"
"Otherwise." Taoist Sakai said: "If he really killed Yuan Zhenghua's person, no matter whether this guy is the folk knight or not, he may say that the forces behind him have the ability to identify protozoa. Isn't this what we Is it needed now?”
"Wait, you're saying that there might be some power behind this guy?"
Ayumi Miyazaki caught the key point and asked very confusingly: "This is the Dragon Kingdom. Could the supporters behind him be the Dragon Kingdom authorities? Then wouldn't we be exposed?"
"Have you ever seen an agent from the Dragon Kingdom government work in a restaurant?"
Taoist Sakai took out the flask again and said while drinking: "There are only two of us in the Dragon Kingdom now. If we can get the support of this guy, or the forces behind him, the investigation will naturally be much easier."
"However, among the tasks assigned to us by the Senior Security Council, investigating the Civilian Knight is also the top priority."
Ayumi Miyazaki said: "But what you mean now is that you don't want to directly cooperate with him."
"You are now sure that he is the folk knight who challenged fourteen some time ago?"
Sakai was drinking and saw his partner shaking his head, and he continued: "That's not it. You and I are not sure now. Then doing this is not part of the investigation."
"What if he is?"
"Then let's hit him. Just take action when the time comes. I'm afraid I might accidentally hit him too hard and cripple him."
"Senior, but I am alone..."
Sakai raised his hand and interrupted: "Oh, I almost forgot. Then I'll try to be as gentle as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and got on the motorcycle: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel. Maybe we will find out tomorrow whether he is the folk knight or not."
...
Gao Chen rode his bike and rode all the way home.
I parked the car and went upstairs with my helmet in hand. My mind is still thinking about what happened just now.
Nowadays, the situation is really getting more and more troublesome——
More and more situations are gathering together. If we look at these situations separately, there is nothing particularly tricky.
However, recent events have all been piled into one:
The truth about the protozoa was exposed, and protozoa attacks occurred frequently. It was not difficult to deal with it with his strength.
The inspection team was infiltrated, and there seemed to be an unknown force behind it, and they started a war with the Leicester Group. In fact, it was not too troublesome to deal with it.
International noticed the existence of the Imperial Cavalry and sent people to investigate. It was equally easy to deal with these field investigators.
However, these things happened to all come together at the same time. Things became a lot more troublesome.
The reason why he didn't directly attack the two Sakura people today was because he didn't know the details of the other party and didn't know which force was behind them.
Now, in this situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, if you act rashly, you will easily become the target of others.
Just like today, no matter which force passes by the Dragon Kingdom, they have to come over to test the strength of this folk knight.
The same goes for these two Sakura people today.
There will definitely be more of this kind of situation in the future, and maybe people from the Lighthouse, the Peninsula, and the British will come to join in the fun.
Waiting until then, Gao Chen didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
With these things in mind, he walked upstairs and opened the program interface.
[Suitable person]: 024/100
To unlock the Purple Lantern, you still need to reach level 26.
In his current state, he could fight ten of the likes of Chun Xiaoxiao and Luo Ning.
But if he encounters a stronger knight, how should he deal with it.
What's more, he has never seen a real Kamen Rider above the city level.
A unified level based on the knight system of each country.
After the five-year novice period, the city level will be the third echelon, and the city level will be the second and first echelon.
Each level is divided into levels one to three.
It's hard to say what the strength of these Kamen Riders is.
And it's hard to say which echelon he will be placed in in this hierarchy.
...
At this moment.
Leicester Group.
The office on the top floor was filled with smoke. Lester was sitting on a chair smoking a cigar, his eyes were distracted, and he looked quietly at Qinggang City below.
"Boss, Yuan Zhenghua is dead and we have lost control of the foundation."
A younger attendant bent down and said cautiously: "Yuan Zhenghua had all the protozoa information within the Qinggang City Foundation during his lifetime. Now that he is dead, those information have disappeared."
Lester was silent and his expression was much more decadent than before. The recent events had hit him hard. Especially after the protozoa incident was announced, the entire group was thrown into chaos and almost shut down.
This morning, he received news of Yuan Zhenghua's death again. This is undoubtedly the most serious blow to their power in the Dragon Kingdom. After such a long time of planning, they finally penetrated into the top management of the foundation. Now the president who holds the real power at the top has died in such a strange way.
"Have you found out who did it?"
"No, but based on the traces of the fight at the scene, it is inferred that there are signs of acceleration, indicating that the murderer is either a member of the same kind with acceleration, or a folk knight with accelerated form or special skills."
The attendant said: "Today, there are only three Kamen Riders with acceleration in the entire Qinggang City, two are Locust and 555, and the other one is the civilian knight. But it is unlikely that the first two will do such a thing. I feel that the person who assassinated Yuan Zhenghua was probably the folk knight."
Lester shook his fingers and crushed the cigar to pieces: "It's him again! This guy is really haunted!"
"Boss, don't you think something is fishy?"
The attendant leaned down close to the seat and said: "This all seems so strange."
"Tell me."
Lester turned around and glanced at the attendant beside him.
"I checked the person who reported the murder of Yuan Zhenghua this morning. I found that the call came from a public phone booth. There is no record of who it was. But the first ones to come to the scene were not the nearby patrol police officers or the foundation's task force. , but the inspection team, don’t you think it’s strange? How did the inspection team learn about the police channel?”
A glimmer of light flashed in Lester's cold eyes: "Continue."
"If this is just a coincidence, then during the last 'Bury Plan', the civilian knight killed more than a dozen of our laboratory's enhanced protozoa and destroyed the experimental product that we spent three years to complete.
Also on the same day, the inspection team raided our group, seized many of our properties, and presented evidence to accuse us of bribing qualified people.
And you were dragged into Beiqiao No. 3 Middle School because of what you planned at that time. Don’t you think someone is deliberately holding you back so that you can’t come back so that the inspection team has room to operate? "
Lester thought deeply.
The group structure of protozoa is actually very similar to human society. They are also divided into multiple different camps, and these different camps will also cause friction with each other.
"I'm afraid the old owner here doesn't welcome our fellow tribesmen who came from the lighthouse."
Lester suddenly sneered: "If they are so ruthless in doing things, then don't blame me for being cruel."
Lester paused: "Immediately pass on my order. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will see the body of the leader of the inspection team hanging at the end of the New City Bridge. Whoever can do it will be the future president of the Knight Foundation. sit!"
"yes."
"By the way, there is also that information. Send someone to retrieve it. It must not fall into the hands of outsiders."
"clear."
...
Knight Foundation.
As the leader of the inspection team, Xinhai naturally wanted to be present after such a big incident happened at the Qinggang City Foundation. This was partly to appease the members, and partly to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire foundation.
Now that Yuan Zhenghua is dead, the connection between the Qinggang City Foundation and the Leicester Group has been temporarily cut off, but this loss of contact will not last long, and it is impossible for the other party to just let the entire foundation fall out of control.
Therefore, Xinhai decided to launch a major purge of the entire Qinggang City Foundation before the Leicester Group responded.
"Team leader, there is something here that I need you to handle."
At this time, Duan Xiaoyi came over and whispered in his ear: "There are new orders from above. You'd better go back to the car and take a look."
Xinhai nodded, followed his subordinate back to the car, turned on the computer, entered his password, and a new command popped up.
"Next target to kill - Todd Lester."
"Is this an order from the bureau?"
Xinhai couldn't believe it.
They were asked to assassinate Yuan Zhenghua, which makes sense.
After all, he is just a small foundation director. Killing him can cut off the protozoa's control over the foundation. Compared with the consequences of such an action, it is relatively cost-effective.
But now they are actually asked to touch Leicester directly.
The other party is not only a well-known businessman, but also a small Zerg leader who may control more than half of the protozoa in Qinggang City.
To do so is to arouse the protozoa's emotions.
What if Lester really died tomorrow. Hundreds or even thousands of protozoa saw their leader being assassinated. They couldn't help but lose control, and then attacked all mankind unscrupulously.
By then, the entire Qinggang City may not directly turn into a slaughterhouse.
"It's really too reckless for the director to do this. Didn't he take Lester's special status into consideration?"
"This guy is not an ordinary businessman, he probably controls the protozoa in the entire Qinggang City." Xinhai said: "To touch him is equivalent to making all the protozoa go out of control. What will the people of Qinggang City do then? "
Duan Xiaoyi didn't know how to answer. He was originally a bodyguard with the label of a thug. When the team leader said this, he could only echo: "I don't know, maybe the bureau leader means to let us Solve the problem from the root cause..."
"fart!"
Xinhai used a rare curse word.
"Team leader, what should we do?" Duan Xiaoyi said: "The above has issued an order, we have to carry it out, right?"
Xinhai was silent, and after a moment he said, "Has Gao Chen contacted you after finishing his work?"
"No, he seems very quiet today."
Duan Xiaoyi said: "The positioning of his communicator that we gave him showed that except for returning to the crime scene once today, his other paths were no different from usual. But I always feel that something is not right..."
"You contact him and say that we still need his help with something."
Xinhai said: "Ask him to meet at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"Still looking for him? This time he finished the work and didn't contact us. Something must have happened. Are you sure you still want to trust him?"
"Otherwise? Who else can we use?"
"Yes, I understand."
...
At this time, night falls and a sewer party is taking place in the sewer pipes of the bungalow area.
Qing Mo stood on the high ground of the clearing. She transformed back into the protozoa form and was more than two meters tall. She looked down at the people of the same race who were crowded with the sewer pipes.
All the protozoa looked up at the white-armored fiddler crab on the high platform, their eyes full of admiration and respect.
Among these protozoa, Wan Liu raised his head and stared at his sister beside him with a calm expression.
At first, he just wanted to stimulate his sister's emotions and make her return to her lost ways and join him in the army against humanity.
But looking at it now, not only was my sister not stimulated, she seemed to have instigated the companions who followed him...
...
(Today is just 4,000 words. I will add more tomorrow and Sunday when I have time)
