Chapter 168 The old friend comes
"Who are you? What do you want me to do?" Putting aside drones, manned aircraft will never take off without the permission of the pilot. After experiencing the initial panic, Aaron immediately realized
The main control computer of this aircraft has been hijacked by someone.
"You didn't hear my voice?" The voice in the earphones was a little annoyed at Aaron's attitude as if he was facing an enemy.
"Are you...Lantian?" Aaron was stunned, and his brain finally matched this familiar voice with the character in his memory.
"I don't want to use such a roundabout way, but this plane in mid-air is the only place where we can have a safe and undisturbed conversation." Lan Tian's voice in the earpiece sighed, "Everywhere else is filled with eyes with ulterior motives."
"Wait a minute, I'm starting to get confused." Aaron, who was full of questions, quickly asked Lan Tian to stop first, "Just think that I'm not very smart. Can we start from what I need to understand?
Speaking of? My head is as messed up as a ball of paste right now."
"Just ask whatever you want. Although there is no guarantee that I can answer all the questions, at least no third person will hear our conversation on this plane." For some reason, Lan Tian is almost paranoid about the surrounding environment.
of distrust.
"Where are you now? Inside or outside District 9? If it's inconvenient, you can just not answer me." After sorting through the countless questions in his mind, Aaron asked the most realistic one first.
"I'm in District 9, a place no one has ever thought of." Lan Tian, who had always hidden something from Aaron, was unusually candid this time.
"Do you know what happened after I was in coma?" Then Aaron wanted to ask about the time when he was in coma, which confused him for too long.
"I don't know much. The situation was so chaotic that I had to worry about getting out first." Lan Tian's voice could be heard a little apologetic, "You and Officer Ling were knocked unconscious at the scene. Sister Zhou and I were
I immediately activated backup means to allow consciousness to escape the scene. After that, I have been using satellites and reconnaissance drones to search for your traces. When I captured you again, it was the seventh day after the incident. We have never seen an official record.
Someone who doesn't exist in the world handed you over to Yu Wanzhi in a coma. If it wasn't a humanoid terminal, it should be a cyborg that was deeply modified beyond recognition."
"They told me that I was dug out by them." Lan Tian and Yu Wanzhi's stories were completely different, and Aaron believed Lan Tian's side more.
"If they rescued you, why wasn't Officer Ling, who was supposed to be with you at the time, rescued?" Lan Tian asked with a sneer.
"Have you seen Uncle Ling? Is he okay?" Speaking of Ling Chong, Aaron felt as if he was suddenly recharged.
"He's okay, you almost had a fight without each other even noticing." Lan Tian replied with a hint of irony.
"Uncle Ling was among the group of killers?!" Lan Tian's information stunned Aaron. Thinking that Ling Xiao was captured by the killers and almost risked his life, Aaron felt violent fear again.
"Some people personally arranged all this, including Officer Ling's daughter." Lan Tian's voice became cold again, "I felt something was wrong when I learned that Officer Ling's daughter was also trapped in District 9.
So I investigated Officer Ling’s daughter and the status of the plane at the time of the incident. What’s interesting is that the plane and the soldiers on it did not go out to rescue because of the chaos outside, but encountered the chaos during a training mission.
The planned itinerary at that time coincided with the time when the incident occurred, so that Officer Ling's daughter could be rescued, and the evacuation route given by the on-board computer on the plane happened to pass over the 9th District, and then it happened to be hit by an out-of-control armed drone.
It was unable to continue flying but could be shot down to the extent that it could make an emergency landing. What a coincidental development."
"Too many 'just in time'." Aaron nodded, "The Dream Maker must have planned Xiaoxiao's trap. Others can't control the timing of the outbreak of the virus."
"The question is why the Dream Maker did this." Lan Tian then raised his own question, "Let Officer Ling's daughter make an emergency landing in the 9th District, obviously intending to use her as a hostage that can contain you and Officer Ling at the same time, but you two I really can’t figure out what the value of this is for a dreamer to reach this point.”
"Don't ask me, I'm more confused than you." Aaron stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "I'm just an ordinary policeman. There's nothing in this world that I have to do."
"It's just that you don't know what's special about you yet," Lan Tian, who was equally confused, could only say, "if we figure this out, we can understand a lot of things."
"Then we have to figure it out clearly." Aaron sighed helplessly, "I thought that as long as I do things wholeheartedly, there will always be results, good or bad, but now I can't even figure out the consequences of everything I do. What’s the meaning.”
"Seize the dreamer and avenge your father and all the people who suffered because of them. This is the meaning." Compared to the confused Aaron, Lan Tian seemed extremely determined.
"You put it lightly." Aaron suddenly became irritated, "For more than ten years, I have spent almost half of my life chasing after the Dream Maker. What did I get when I thought I was finally going to catch him? ?I can’t even understand what the other person wants!”
"You want to give up?" Lan Tian's voice was calm.
"I want to, but can I?" Aaron laughed like crying, "Uncle Ling, Xiaoxiao, they are all here. Apart from my dad, they are the only ones left in my life. What do I say to myself? It doesn’t matter the truth, I can’t watch them because something happens to me.”
"...You are a nice person." Lan Tian said after being silent for a while.
"I know what I am." Aaron himself didn't see it that way, "Uncle Ling got so deeply involved in this matter all because of me. If I hadn't insisted on letting him go, Uncle Ling would have died in a few months. It’s time to retire in peace.”
"So you want to prioritize their safety." Lan Tian roughly understood Aaron's thoughts.
"Is there any way?" Aaron asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"No." However, Lan Tian's answer was as sharp as a blade, "Not to mention whether they will abandon you and leave, even if they agree, the Ninth District is already a target of public criticism. Unless one party finally achieves its goal, otherwise It’s hard to get in or get out, especially getting out is almost as difficult as going to heaven.”
"A certain party," Aaron noticed Lan Tian's wording, "Dream Makers, us, and the Emergency Department?"
"Where do you think I am now?" Suddenly, Lan Tian asked back.
"..." This question made Aaron a little unsure. Zhou Yuqing's relationship with the Emergency Situation Department was inextricably linked, and her relationship with Lan Tian was too close to be like ordinary colleagues. Now everything has become confusing. , it’s hard for Aaron to say where Lan Tian’s position lies.
"To give you a hint, Sister Zhou probably doesn't know where I am now, or even if she guesses, she won't be able to come in for the time being." Lan Tian said.
"What on earth are you..." Lan Tian's words made Aaron even more confused. Zhou Yuqing didn't know where Lan Tian was. Doesn't this mean that Lan Tian is currently acting alone?
"You are not the only one who is obsessed with making dreams." Lan Tian's voice paused here, "My story may cause you some trouble after listening to it. Do you want to listen?"
