Tonight, many people are bound to be unable to sleep peacefully.
Among them was Grand Inquisitor Dominas. When he returned home, a sudden piece of news completely disrupted his plan.
A body with instruments removed from the back of his neck was found in the guard room of the mayor's house. A pack of solvent he handed to the mayor's secretary was missing. Roger's person who was scheduled to be shot was killed by a speeding car before he could do it. The car hit and flew away.
It can be said that all the plans he arranged today ended in failure.
This reminded him of the death of Finn-Elnim.
It also caught him off guard.
Dominus finally realized that the plan he made might have gone wrong from the beginning. In his original idea, he wanted to control Leon Serbot, use his power to isolate Lu Xiang, and wait for a suitable person. Opportunity works his way to firmly control the entire law enforcement department in his hands, while secretly re-establishing a criminal with the ability to control the external "trade lines" of the border.
In this way, District 17 can return to its original state.
No, it should be said that it will become a better city than before. In this way, the Foster family in the core area can also discover its true value.
However, Dominus found that he seemed to have made the same mistake as Anjie, that is, he thought that Lu Xiang was fighting alone.
Prior to this, the Foster family had already transferred Lu Xiang's files.
An outstanding graduate of a well-known military academy in the second district. Although she graduated with first place, she was not appreciated by the big family and the coalition government because her character was too upright and she also harbored unrealistic illusions about the world. , I am afraid that including such people in the establishment will only have the opposite effect in the future.
History has proven countless times that some unrealistic fantasies are contagious, spreading among people like an undetectable plague. When they are discovered, they have often already formed a large scale.
In the past few decades, the coalition government has been committed to nipping the "plague" in the bud.
Although Lu Xiang has good grades in school, for the coalition government and the big family, the same graduates will appear every year, so why should they take the risk to take in such a restless element?
As a matter of fact, this is how it should be.
This is one of the few issues where Dominus and Anjie can maintain the same view.
Transferring Lu Xiang to the border city to serve as the leader of an insignificant department is no different from sending her to the border. In her lifetime, she may not be able to step into the core area again.
Because of this, getting rid of Lu Xiang can be regarded as a way for the coalition government to solve a hidden danger. As long as the method is not too outrageous, the coalition government will turn a blind eye.
Now, however, Dominas has to re-examine the issue.
From the deaths of Chai Ke and Anjie Foster to all the strange things that have happened recently, it seems that every time the authorities face a disadvantage to Lu Xiang, there will be some invisible force to help her avert danger and let her survive one after another. A carefully arranged dead end.
Are such people really abandoned by the core area?
"Dong dong dong——"
A knock on the door interrupted Dominas' thoughts.
For him, this was not only a sleepless night, but also filled with an atmosphere of terror - because according to the news brought by the mayor's secretary, the incident in the guardroom happened just before and after he left. Doesn't this mean that he and It is very possible that the conversation between the mayors also fell into the eyes of the other party?
Everything he knows may be secret signals sent by the other party deliberately.
The power behind Lu Xiang has now arrived at his door.
In anxiety and panic, Dominus leaned toward the door like a turtle. It took him several minutes to get from the living room to the cat's eyes.
As expected, there was a terrifying person outside the cat's eye.
Dominus adjusted his mood and finally opened the door.
What was waiting for him on the other side of the door was not the killer he imagined, but a package sealed in a file bag.
There is only one mini chip in the package.
Dominas inserted the chip into his computer with almost no thought.
This is a video from the law enforcement department. The content in the video happened tonight. It was a street that he was unfamiliar with.
It was already late at night, but there were still vehicles coming and going on the street, as well as workers who had just gotten off work and were walking like zombies.
The protagonist of the video is a homeless man whose mental state is obviously different from ordinary people.
When the homeless man took out a rifle from the trash can on the street, Dominus finally understood the identity of the other party - to get rid of Roger, this was indeed the order he had given, but after giving the order, He didn't pay attention to the details anymore.
But now, he had to pay attention to all the details of what happened tonight.
The time is 23:07:31.
The homeless man in the video finished assembling the firearm and walked towards the building across the street as if he was dead.
At the same time, a speeding car appeared beside him.
The homeless man's body and rifle were thrown out by the impact of the car.
And when Dominus played it back, he finally discovered a detail that really sent chills down his spine.
After 23:07:31, the time in the lower right corner of the video jumps directly to 23:07:47.
16 seconds of it disappeared into thin air.
The passers-by on the street were not aware of what happened in that moment, not even the driver of the car. The reason why Dominas subconsciously recorded the situation in reverse was to see clearly who the two cars were. How to approach a tramp.
The number in the lower right corner of the video gives the answer to this question.
Because between 31 seconds and 47 seconds, he disappeared for 16 seconds, and these 16 seconds were enough for a car hundreds of meters away to appear directly next to the homeless man.
And these missing 16 seconds seem to also explain how the murderer escaped from the scene after the deaths of Chai Ke and Anjie, and why Finn Elnim, who was supposed to be invincible in District 17, died inexplicably. street.
The fear did not subside with the arrival of the answer, but grew rapidly in the silence.
Unknown ability user.
This is the true face of the enemy.
Dominus suddenly remembered something and almost jumped up from the computer desk. He first looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, then took out his mobile phone, turned on the TV, rummaged through the cabinets in the living room, and found everything that could display the time. s things.
All the numbers he saw pointed to 1:37:17 in the morning.
It seemed that he had scared himself just now.
Dominus breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, what was playing on the TV made the fear reach its peak.
"Today's news will be broadcast here. Thank you for watching. See you next time."
The announcer's voice came from the TV.
1:30 am.
And this, this is the right time for the evening news in District 17 to end.
