"The thirty-fifth attempt to establish communication. This is the Executive Department of Kassel College, code name A30398E. If you hear it, please answer. If you hear it, please answer..."
The chaotic currents kept hissing in the headset. The central control room thousands of miles away was as quiet as a dead person. The red light spreading from the pulsating red dots in China's coastal cities on the blue earth projection was so vivid that it was thrilling. . Professor Mans Rundstedt, who was on duty, stared at the large screen full of noise without moving his eyes for a moment. No fewer than three correspondents tried repeatedly to establish communication with the commissioner, but unfortunately five minutes had passed. , still no achievements.
"Isn't it better yet?" he asked.
"The signal frequency cannot be connected. It must have been severely interfered. Someone in the tower used a powerful signal jammer to interrupt all wireless electronic communications inside and outside."
"What about wired communications?"
"Probably there is... but according to Norma's reminder, the number of wired communications in the tower is very rare. Most of them are internal communication channels, and we have no way to get the commissioner to a fixed communication location as soon as possible."
"It's been five minutes now," Mance whispered.
"Yes... We will restore communication as soon as possible. Norma is trying to use satellites to enhance signal radiation or change the signal band to bypass the jammer and connect to the commissioner."
"estimated time?"
"ten minutes...?"
Mans Rundstedt paused. What would happen in ten minutes?
Applauding for love with little satisfaction, taking the time to go to the toilet with toilet paper, solving a difficult alchemy and chemistry word problem... Or maybe the far away and lost commissioner went on a killing spree in front of a crowd of ordinary people. Kill all the artificial Deadpools in front of him?
If it were another commissioner, Professor Manns would probably be more at ease, but unfortunately the person in charge of this operation today is the 'S' class among the students. In fact, tasks of this level should be handled directly by the director of the execution department, but recently, A big operation would involve the cooperation between the 'S' class and him, so the command and monitoring of this mission fell on him, in order to look forward to a run-in with the 'S' class before the big operation.
Mance had already heard some rumors about the 'S' class. He didn't remember much about other advantages and disadvantages. The only thing that impressed him the most was the ridiculously high mission success rate and the numbing death rate. , as long as it involves 'S'-level missions, the mortality rate is always high. Although most of the people who die are enemies, in some cases it will cause extremely bad effects, which are not even worse than mission failure.
Just like this time, Mance almost listened to and watched the first half of the press conference in the control room. He could almost predict what would happen after the communication was cut off. After being silent for a moment, he decided to do something instead of standing still. After waiting, I took out my mobile phone from the copy and dialed a number and the call was connected.
"Good evening, Professor Mance."
"Good evening, Secretary Schneider."
"If I remember correctly, you should be on duty in the library now?"
"Yes."
"Have you encountered any trouble?"
After a simple greeting, Professor Mance stopped chatting with the person opposite and quickly and succinctly explained the current situation. When uncontrollable changes occur in the mission, he has the right to ask the higher-level person in charge for instructions. .
"I have a general understanding of the situation, and as for my suggestion...let the commissioner have free reign to decide what to do," Schneider said.
"A lot of people may die." Professor Mance said after a moment of silence.
"If it were another commissioner, maybe I would have figured out what to do, but if it were him, he always knew what he was doing." Schneider said, "He was mentally prepared early on."
"It seems that your executive department has become accustomed to him being out of control?" Professor Mance asked.
"This is a very serious accusation." Schneider said, "Maybe Professor, you should look at the problem from a different angle. Every task he is responsible for has a very high risk index. Accidents will always happen, and after such a long period of training, he I’m already very good at handling accidents.”
"You look like you're at ease."
"It's just that I've seen this happen to him a lot."
"To be honest, this doesn't look like you, Schneider. You don't strike me as someone who would be so indulgent towards a commissioner."
"Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
"I don't want to say it too harshly, you are hiding something from me... from us." Mance was silent for a long time, and then he said quietly, "I don't care what secrets your students have, I just I knew that the commissioner I was going to take over in the Kuimen Project might be a potential trouble, but I never thought it would be such a trouble... Even now, you can guarantee that he won't be there before he really takes action. Is the same trouble happening? You know what this action means."
"Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that."
"I want to know his location. At least I want to know where he is now and what he is doing." Professor Mance said coldly, "Schneider, I know you have a way."
"This is another very serious accusation." Schneider said, "It seems that the results of the mission run-in before the 'Kuimen Project' are not satisfactory. I will consider reporting the situation of this run-in. Good night, Mance ·Professor Rundstedt.”
The phone was hung up.
In the executive office of Kassel College, Schneider looked at the screen of his mobile phone that ended the call and took a few quiet breaths. The only sound in the room could be heard was his broken breathing like a bellows. After a while, he pressed the screen and dialed another number.
While waiting for the call, the face wearing a respirator quietly turned to look at the screen on the table. What was displayed on the screen was a three-dimensional interior view of the building, in which a clear red dot was moving slowly. with...
"Schneider? What's the matter?" The call came through, and the voice of the person on the other side was calm and dignified.
"Unexpected things happen," Schneider said.
"...I remember that the 'Kuimen Project' has not officially started yet."
"Other tasks, located in China."
"...He lost control of the execution department again?"
"Communication cannot be established. It should be that the enemy has activated a signal jammer and we cannot contact him."
"This happens to him all the time... maybe once or twice it was an accident, but if it happens like this every time..."
"I'm not responsible for judging his status. I just contacted you as soon as possible according to your request." Schneider said calmly.
"... Let's make observations for now. Maybe this is just an accident. There is no need to do anything extra. It is crucial to reveal the trump card at the critical moment." The man opposite did not hesitate too much and ordered softly. road.
"yes."
Schneider hung up the phone, his iron-gray eyes calmly staring at the red dot of the anti-interference satellite positioning. There was a red button lying flat on the table. His right hand gently placed next to the button, and his fingers touched the cold The tabletop shook slightly.

Pearl Tower, press conference hall.
"Now, if there are no other questions, let us enter the third and final stage." On the podium, the petite woman was still explaining, but at this time, few people in the audience could really pay attention. The focus was on this bad joke-like press conference.
Someone is dead, or rather someone was once dead.
There was a large empty space in the center of the hall where no one was standing. There was an indelible stain of blood on the ground. Even though the corpse and severed limbs had been taken away by the silent waiters, the tragic scene before The fighting is still deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. The monster-like violence and machine-like killing indifference are simply challenging the limits of normal views, except for ruthless characters with special professions such as killers or drug lords. , the endurance of other more vulnerable guests has reached its limit.
The atmosphere and mood of the crowd fluctuated violently, and there was only one fuse away from being completely ignited.
Su Xiaoqiang clearly understood her current situation. She stood in the middle of the crowd, wrapped in the ubiquitous uneasiness and panic. The guests around her now were like those she had seen before. For panicked people who have failed in their investment or made a wrong step before making a major decision and are waiting for liquidation, a little stimulation, even a little stimulation, can make them pick up a knife or pencil like crazy regardless of everything. protect yourself".
She was very calm and knew what she should do at this time. She pushed hard towards the exit in the crowd. She no longer cared about looking for Lu Mingfei. She walked in the opposite direction in the crowd. The exit door was on the other side. She could only squeeze through... At this moment, she stood on tiptoes and glanced in the direction of the main entrance of the hall, and unexpectedly discovered the familiar back of the bad boy.
But I have to say that little thieves are as cunning as little thieves. Before the guests in the hall could react from the shock, he chose to run away... This guy was as unreliable as he imagined. The scene just dropped, just like the baton dropped in the last three meters of a sports meeting, or the last scene of a movie when he slipped and fell... This guy ran away temporarily without calling his companion Su Xiaoqiang! If Su Xiaoqiang was really like the blond girl with big boobs in the movie, expecting a man to make his decision, she might have died tonight without even knowing.
CK said that he saw something incredible in the tower and asked them to evacuate quickly. Although Su Xiaoqiang didn't know what the other party saw, he was sure that she could not afford to offend anything that could make that woman's tone unbalanced. Today She has seen enough horrifying things in her life. Her outlook on life is still in a state of collapse, so there is no need to wait for something terrible to turn her remnants of her outlook into dust.
She held up the hem of her black evening gown and silently swarmed toward the edge of the crowd. She didn't dare to speak to attract others' attention, for fear that her running away would arouse the crowd's conformity. Everyone is now looking at the press conference that is still going on on the podium with fear and dullness, ignoring the small movements passing by, which allows Su Xiaoqiang's escape plan to proceed smoothly.
But when she got to the end of the crowd, she was actually stuck in the middle by two customers who were nearby and couldn't get over for a while. This made her a little anxious, but now she began to regret that she usually ate too many strawberry puffs. It's not too late...
But at this moment, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance of shampoo, and some scenes appeared in front of her like a slideshow, probably desks, classrooms, afternoon sunshine, etc... She was stunned for a few seconds. Before she could remember turning around, someone suddenly pushed her gently from behind, and a huge force suddenly made her successfully squeeze out of the crowd and stand on the empty side street.
After Su Xiaoqiang went out, he subconsciously turned around to see which kind person had helped him. At a glance, he saw the boy who kept walking forward in the crowd and opened up a path forcibly. He didn't know whether the other person was passing by intentionally or unintentionally. When he squeezed her, he just pushed her out.
She took another look at the boy's back and felt that it was inexplicably familiar. A ridiculous guess came into her mind, and she subconsciously took a step forward. Suddenly someone from behind pulled her cuffs. She turned around and found that it was actually... Lu Mingfei, that bastard, huddled next to her.
Su Xiaoqiang immediately became furious and whispered, "So you haven't run away yet!"
"The situation is special." Lu Mingfei shrank his head and probably knew that Su Xiaoqiang had misunderstood him... He just left Su Xiaoqiang alone and ran away because he mistakenly thought that the "number one trouble" noticed his spy and came to trouble him.
He could see the data on everyone's shoulders and knew that this trouble was not something he and Su Xiaoqiang could afford. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to lure the other person away alone, but it turned out that he was overthinking it and the other party ignored him at all. This little thief headed directly towards the podium, which made him look like a cowardly thief who abandoned his teammates in the face of battle.
"Forget it... let's go quickly, CK should be waiting for us outside." Lu Mingfei whispered.
Su Xiaoqiang looked back at the crowd. At this time, the boy had already walked to the front, and he was almost invisible.
She took steps to leave, but as if she thought of something, she hesitated and stopped. When Lu Mingfei in front of her looked back at her in confusion, she said, "How about...you go first?" Let’s go? I’ll wait.”
"Wait... wait a minute? What are you waiting for? Waiting for love?"
Lu Mingfei was confused, thinking that this was not the time for you to be independent. Normally, the teacher used to treat you as a group of desperate desperadoes and wouldn't care whether your family was engaged in mining or running a company. You wait. Do you really want to buy something to take home as a souvenir?
"I..." Just when Su Xiaoqiang opened her mouth, Lu Mingfei quickly came over and grabbed her wrist and ran towards the door. He almost concluded that Su Xiaoqiang was crazy. People who are crazy should not be reasonable but should treat them like crazy. He was tied up and packed up and sent to a mental hospital... At least compared to the current place of disputes, the mental hospital was considered a place of peace and quiet. Someone on his road really wished that a doctor would rush in and directly put him on a stretcher and pack him up to be sent to a mental hospital. In the courtyard.
Su Xiaoqiang was dragged away before he could say anything. As he walked, he turned back to look at the podium. But in the end, his desire to survive defeated his momentary doubts. He turned around again and followed Lu Mingfei along the side path to the gate. .
"We take the elevator. As long as no one presses the stop button, we can go straight to the first floor without encountering any mess."
Lu Mingfei looked at the crowd not far away like a thief and carefully opened the door. Fortunately, everyone's attention was now on the podium, even the weird waiters gathered there. There was no one guarding the door. He and Su Xiaoqiang managed to sneak into the luxurious corridor with paintings outside without any accident. When the door was closed, the movement inside was cut off and they breathed a sigh of relief.
There was not a single figure in the corridor. Lu Mingfei ran forward two steps. Su Xiaoqiang said a few words behind him. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to the eldest lady. When he looked back, he saw that the girl had taken off her high heels and was carrying The shoes quickly passed her and ran to the elevator door in the distance. The agility of more than 70 points was really impressive... Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang was finally not sick, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed. Go up.
"The elevator is out of service." Su Xiaoqiang, who was standing in front of the elevator, pressed the button to call the elevator. The electronic screen was pitch black and did not display the number of the floor. Lu Mingfei, who was running over, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw it, and his face turned pale. .
"The organizers should have expected that someone would run away." Su Xiaoqiang raised his head and looked at the cameras in the corner of the corridor. Some cameras were even pointed at their elevator entrance. He didn't know if there was anyone watching on the other side. .
"Is this a press conference or a gathering of people for gambling? Why are you so good at stopping the elevator?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.
"Do you really think this is an ordinary press conference?" Su Xiaoqiang sighed softly. Although she was equally nervous, she was calmer than Lu Mingfei. "Have you noticed that there are too many surveillance cameras in this venue? ..”
"Surveillance?" Lu Mingfei cast a belated glance at the corridor. With just one glance, he almost saw no fewer than six or seven cameras placed side by side on the edge of the corner, almost taking in the entire corridor.
"There are more in the hall, and there are almost no blind spots. I am a woman, so I am naturally sensitive to this kind of thing... We have been exposed to surveillance when we came here, and we have not left for a minute... Plus Some weird words and deeds of the host gave me some bad associations." Su Xiaoqiang looked at the corridor that seemed to be watched by countless people and said, "...I feel that this conference is not for us at all. .”
"what do you mean..."
"I heard from my dad that some underground rich people like to watch real-life escape games for excitement, so they hire people to find people who have lost hope in life to participate in 'social experiments', and often these people will kill each other during the experiment. , the hidden surveillance will film every detail and send it to the TV channel of the rich. This channel even has their own name, and the monthly subscription costs six figures." Su Xiaoqiang whispered. .
"No way." Lu Mingfei felt a little horrified when he heard that. He knew that the little goddess never lied. Her "my dad said" was always the truth. Her dad said that the stock market would fall tomorrow. It will definitely fall. His dad said that his family wants to buy a new SUV. If it rains the next day, there will be an SUV at the playground to take her home... But now her dad says that in reality, there are really a group of perverted rich people who like to watch live battle royale. , maybe they will really become a member of the battle royale?
"I don't want this to be true, but it's best to prepare for the worst... Prepare for the worst in everything, and then use the best preparation to solve it." Su Xiaoqiang turned to look at Lu Mingfei, " This is what Lin Nian said."
Until now, you still haven’t forgotten Lin Nian... But no matter how hard I fight, I can’t fly across the Pacific to save you.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while but still didn't say anything dejected. He scratched his head and looked at the emergency exit not far away and gritted his teeth and said, "If the elevator can't be used, then take the stairs."
When Lu Mingfei reached the emergency exit, before he reached out to push the door open, the door opened from the outside. His outstretched hand bounced back like an electric shock and he took two steps back. There was a figure standing behind the door, coming from the dark corridor. After walking out, when the face was exposed to the light in the corridor, Lu Mingfei's expression suddenly twitched and he couldn't help but call out the other person's name, "Wen... Wenwen?"
Standing outside the door was Chen Wenwen, wearing a familiar white dress, which was exactly what she wore on the day she was lost. The other person also looked up at him, but there was no familiar emotion in his eyes, only a blank look and a touch of... pale gold?
More figures came out behind Chen Wenwen, and Lu Mingfei could no longer care about the joy of reunion, because these were the missing people in this city, and everyone had the same dull expression on their faces. There were two tall escort figures standing on the left and right beside them. Their dark golden pupils glanced at Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang outside the door. After these two people took the initiative to get out of the way, they immediately withdrew their eyes and focused on the "Lamb" beside them. on them, leading them into the corridor.
Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang stood close to the wall, watching motionlessly as the two escorting "people" led the team quietly across the corridor towards the door of the distant hall. The smart ones naturally thought of this team. What does it mean...
What the petite woman on the podium said...the third stage, leech medicine, type III product!
