(Twelve·Father and Son)
Itozuka Eiya, the son of "Dr. Itozuka", one of the key researchers of the fortress, has a gloomy and irritable temperament, is weird and difficult to get along with. He dropped out of school at the age of eight and settled in the fortress with his father. It has been six years now. He showed extraordinary talent in the field of biological sciences since he was a child, so he was doted on by his father and was always taken with him by his side.
Just by browsing the concise words in the document, one can see that the characteristics of the son of the mad doctor are almost completely opposite to those of Investigator Xingyu himself. But - obviously, she asked Ming to "play" this role not because her height is the closest to Itozuka Eiya.
The pink-haired boy was shuffling towards the largest research room on the first floor. "His" steps were slow and scattered. He seemed to lack strength, but also showed a sense of irritability.
The snow-white research room was in chaos. Researchers and handymen were all huddled together, picking and packing away experimental equipment. The "young man" pushed open the door and let out a "tsk" when he saw the person inside.
He turned around decisively and wanted to leave, but froze because of the stern voice coming from behind.
"Stop!" The middle-aged man with half-white hair shouted with a sullen face, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me on the airship? I don't have time to take care of you now - and what's in your hand? What is it?"
The "boy" impatiently moved into the room and quickly shook the electric insect in his hand.
"Yingye!"
The middle-aged man looked angry, put down the objects in his hands and strode over, "How many times have I told you not to steal materials from other laboratories? Only when something happens and you need to take responsibility can you remember what your father said? But at this critical moment, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud "bang" sound was transmitted directly into the other five people's tactical helmet headsets through the micro-radio, making Nishihori tremble in shock and almost tripped over the eaves.
"You think I'm rare for a few scraps of materials!?"
The "boy" threw the unconscious Denden insect to the ground. The small body of the larva collided with the stacked metal equipment, making a series of noises.
"Give it back!!"
Despite having been together for many years, his sudden outburst shocked the other researchers in the room into silence. The instigator turned a blind eye to the strange looks of others, walked quickly to his own area, and began to rummage around.
The nearby facilities had not yet started to be tidied up, and the Pokémon with its head covered with electrode patches was lying on the experimental table in a daze, completely unresponsive to the sounds and lights of the outside world. The "young man" looked over as if he was just looking at an inanimate object, and pushed the experimental subject aside in disgust, as if he was still angry with his father.
Dr. Ituzuka's expression softened. He did not scold his son anymore, but said softly, "Yingye, just tell me what you want - I will always satisfy your request, right?"
The "young man" said nothing.
The middle-aged man walked over and looked at his son's side face, "What are you looking for? Do you need dad's help?"
"...My aquarium." He turned away and said vaguely.
"'Aquarium'...I just asked someone to transport it to the warehouse on the top floor. It's a bit troublesome to take it out again. How about..."
"I want it now!"
Seeing his son's glare full of anger and doubt, Dr. Ittsuka sighed.
"Okay." The middle-aged man took out a card from his shirt pocket, "This is my elevator card. Everyone is very busy, so go find it yourself."
The "young man"'s eyes lit up, he grabbed the card and ran towards the door. Before pushing the door, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, turned around and whispered, "I can show you my experimental records tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, the curled pink hair had disappeared in front of the door. The inconsistent sentences confused everyone in the research room. Only the boy's father received the awkward overture and couldn't help but smile.
He believed that his son would be able to surpass his achievements in the future and become a member of the organization... No.
——Become the greatest pioneer of this era.
Human evolution will never stop, will it?
(Thirteen·Confluence)
When the backbone researcher of the fortress, Dr. Ituzuka, who had always been cold and cruel, was briefly immersed in warmth and pride, the "boy" had already reached the freight elevator.
The card in hand is lightly touched on the control terminal. The freight elevator started in response, and the authority second only to the branch director's instructions caused it to quickly descend from the top floor——
After the metal door was opened, the interior of the car was not empty.
Five people who were already fully armed walked out silently. The last person's footsteps paused, and his palm gently landed on the "young man's" shoulder.
It was an intensity that was almost comforting, like saying "Don't blame yourself for this".
"You did very well."
(14·Orientation)
"Cracked successfully."
Qingze typed on the virtual keyboard quickly. The microcomputer attached to his arm was directly connected to the fortress's mainframe computer through a data interface, providing the last indispensable hardware element for overcoming the firewall.
"Intrusion into the core monitoring system risks triggering the alarm. Request instructions."
"Continue the invasion."
"yes."
Aozawa Anichi's fingers jumped in the void. He didn't seem to care at all what would happen if the alarm was triggered. The code turned into a desperate sharp blade and pierced the heart of this behemoth. When the piercing whistle was accompanied by red light, his calm voice drowned out the noise from the outside world.
"Surveillance shows that Gao Shengjia and Professor are locked in an unused equipment room next to the central control room."
Akira Akira reacted very quickly and ordered, "Attack the database!"
Qingze responded, and the flashing string immediately changed its target in the online world, breaking into the data storage like a beast and biting it.
There is no doubt that when a warning appears that the database has been invaded, the first reaction of "the enemy's goal is to steal information" will be deeply imprinted in the minds of the opposing forces. This will become their key to confusing the audience and taking the opportunity to rescue the target. .
After hackers from the Ministry of Public Security withdrew from the surveillance system, the intruder's location was locked by the fortress within two seconds. In the surveillance footage, the two patrollers closest to here are about to break in.
"There is a gap of about thirty seconds between the second round of reinforcements." Dongjiang, who was standing in the back row, looked back and forth between several monitoring points and reported the report calmly.
Needless to say, the number of people and weapons equipped with the so-called "second round of reinforcements" shown on the screen create an atmosphere that is almost arrogant. The leader didn't show any worry on his face. He nodded and said briefly, "Xiaoye, I'll help you."
The investigator, who was still wearing a fortress researcher's long coat, took a half-step forward and pointed the Poké Ball launcher in his left hand firmly at the door.
The next second, the door was kicked open by a Pokémon. The red light shot out almost exactly, expanding like a fire lotus in front of the patrollers and their Pokémon, transforming into the ferocious appearance of the Flame Dragon.
The crimson flames were like the sun in the darkness, illuminating the data room that had not seen light for a long time.
(Fifteenth branch)
The flow of light and energy flying in the air lasted only a short dozen seconds.
Extremely high-speed commands, the ability to collect Pokémon as soon as they are released, and the precise blocking created by the Poké Ball launcher - for ordinary patrolmen who are not skilled in skills, the specialty of Detective Xingyu is almost an invincible nightmare. .
When the dazzling light curtain was temporarily extinguished, the two unlucky guards were already lying in the charred darkness, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Despite this, when the six people rushed out of the data room, the footsteps of reinforcements and the sound of collision and friction of small-scale destruction weapons were already approaching menacingly.
The information room chosen by the team leader is located in front of the T-intersection, so there is no risk of being double-teamed. But when he saw the hand cannons raised by the reinforcements flashing white from a distance, Investigator Shenyu knew that they could not retreat safely.
"According to the preliminary plan, we will form three teams. I will take the rear." He looked at his vice-captain, "You lead the team to rescue people and meet in the central control room."
"learn."
Investigator Xingyu responded without hesitation.
The person who received the order turned around, and Investigator Nishihori and Investigator Aozawa followed her pace silently. The sound of explosions and strong winds surged from behind, and there was a vague sense of blood surrounding his nose.
She didn't look back.
(Sixteen murderous intentions)
The moment he left the ring-shaped main body of the fortress and stepped into the straight passage leading to the central control room, invisible electromagnetic waves enveloped every bit of air around him.
The Poke Ball launcher stopped working, and the last Pokémon sent was forced to return to the ball. Only the built-in communication of the tactical helmet, which had been improved in various ways, could barely convey the message. The three people in the vanguard were not surprised - if the Poké Ball could still be used in such a core area, they would be surprised.
Perhaps it was because the back-off group had attracted most of the firepower, or perhaps because Qingze's uninterrupted attacks on the database confused the enemy's sight, new combatants were not sent into the core area. They almost defeated the watchers and broke into the equipment room where the rescue target of this operation, Professor Gao Shengjia, was located.
The old professor seemed to have been given some powerful hypnotic drug and was falling asleep, which saved him the time of comforting the target. Qingze roughly put the "National Treasure Professor" on his shoulders and rushed out of the room with the team.
The straight passage was still quiet, with only the defeated guards still lying on the edge of the corridor. Investigator Xingyu suddenly stopped.
She felt something was wrong.
At this point, she didn't think the senior officials at the fortress were aware of their goal. Professor Gao Shengjia has been "invited" to this cult group for more than a year. Regardless of whether he cooperates or not, he must have been forced to participate in many experimental studies, and thus learned some of the secrets of the fortress. For them, trying to rescue Professor Gao Shengjia is like touching the dragon's reverse scale——
Judging from everything that has happened so far, this evil dragon is too good-tempered.
The three tried to return the same way, but found that the security door that had been lowered at some point had completely blocked the place. The doors and corridors in the core area cannot be destroyed by ordinary violent means. The only way to go now is to go to the central control room - a place where, according to common sense, the enemy least wants them to approach.
The temporary team leader's eyebrows frowned slightly. A terrible thought flashed through her mind.
The next second, she quickly opened the communication interface, but before the words "Don't go near the core area" were sent out, she received a message from the captain.
[Has shaken off the pursuers and is about to arrive at the central control room]
At the same time, Qingze's nimble fingers suddenly stiffened.
He was in a rare daze for a few seconds before he read out everything he saw in the data world in a barely calm voice.
"The fortress's self-destruct sequence has been activated."
