Chapter 238 Face to face
"No response?" Aaron glanced at the gang thugs leading the way, and couldn't help but beat his heart, because the route they were walking now had deviated from the evacuation route given to him by the previous district chief.
Aaron, who was full of doubts at this time, couldn't tell for a while whether there was something wrong with these people or whether the district chief had temporarily changed his attention. He wanted to contact the district chief to inquire but did not get a reply. Then he tried to contact Lan Tian who provided intelligence support, but still no response.
respond.
This made Aaron very nervous.
"What are you doing?" Just when Aaron was secretly worried, the leader of the thugs suddenly turned around and asked him.
"We are not heading towards the district government." Aaron immediately realized that the other party had intercepted his external communications, so he simply asked.
"Of course we are not heading towards the district government. The place is already surrounded by the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the army. The second your signal appears on the surface, they will break down the door and rush in to arrest people." The thugs gave him a cold look.
look.
"Exposed so soon?!" Aaron then understood why the route had changed, and his suspicious heart calmed down a little.
"There are not many forces that can make a few people disappear silently in District 9. The Ministry of Emergency Situations and the military have plenty of manpower. It will not be difficult to find some people to catch all possible suspects." The leader shrugged.
"Ha, that's right." Aaron smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was overcomplicating things.
As a former police officer, Aaron certainly knows that the government's violent agencies have always relied on quantitative violence. Agents and spies are just auxiliary. In theory, there is nothing the government cannot do. The only question is how many taxpayers the government is willing to spend for this.
Use money to do things.
The Dream Maker incident has caused such a big fuss. The military and the Ministry of Emergency Situations must have spared no expense for their future power. It can be said that whoever catches the Dream Maker will have the upper hand in this incident. In the entire incident
The right to speak is even greater. Considering that the dream maker involves many people within the government, it is natural that neither of the two sides who have always fought fiercely can let go.
No wonder Uncle Ling immediately agreed when he begged his old sweetheart. I think the military had been eyeing this piece of fat for a long time but had no idea what to do with it. Ling Chong sending it to his door was undoubtedly equivalent to giving him a pillow for sleep. Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but feel
It is suspected that Ling Chong saw through the military's thinking and deliberately allowed himself to be used by the military.
Alas, the relationship between who is taking advantage of whom has now become a confusing matter. Aaron is not even sure whether Zhou Yuqing's indifference to their unauthorized actions is part of Zhou Yuqing's big plan.
Thinking of this, Aaron glanced at Kong Wei with a strange look. Zhou Yuqing's second identity is an agent of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Is Kong Wei, who claims to work for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, also related to the organization behind Zhou Yuqing?
"What's wrong, you want to change your mind and silence yourself?" Kong Wei very sensitively noticed Aaron's eyes and the slight murderous intention behind them.
"A bit." Aaron simply admitted that he couldn't compete with such a smart person.
"I advise you not to take action. Since Mr. District Chief tolerated me coming with you, he naturally kept me useful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill me in the trap just now and frame it on other forces?" Kong Wei looked at him.
Say it as usual.
"It makes sense." Aaron nodded, "I really don't know what the district chief is keeping you for. The more I look at you now, the more suspicious you become."
"Probably let me be a witness. Even though you are a double agent, you are still working for the military, so you and I are two pairs of eyes of the military and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Afterwards, we will
We report what we see to our respective organizations." Kong Wei tried to analyze the old district chief's plan.
"I don't think the military will believe my words anymore." Aaron hesitated.
"Ha." Kong Wei suddenly became happy, "The military wants you to tell the truth, so why does it need you to open your mouth?"
Aaron's face suddenly turned ugly. He thought of the brain scanner in the basement of the Intelligent Administration Bureau. Even the criminal department was equipped with it, how could the inhumane military department not have it?
"We'll be there soon." The leader, who was quietly listening to the two chatting, suddenly interrupted.
"Oh." Aaron came back to his senses and looked forward. The scene in front of him was inexplicably familiar. When he walked a few steps forward and turned an intersection, his pupils suddenly narrowed. The familiar square and gate in front of him made him realize that he was
where are you now.
That human slaughter factory located underground in District 9!
"What is being used for here now?" Aaron asked gloomily.
"Sealed, that's the theory. However, the removed brains are still kept here. After all, there will definitely be rumors when the brains of so many living people are transported. If caught by the media, it will not only be troublesome for the city government." The leader said indifferently.
"Those brains...what are they being used for now?" Aaron hesitated for a moment and finally asked.
"These brains form a wetware intranet, and the only outlet for computing power is said to be controlled by the Ministry of Emergency Situations."
Aaron was speechless for a moment. The leader's answer was equivalent to telling him that the half-dead victims were still trapped in an eternal illusion, and their brains were networked to form a super machine without their consciousness being aware of it.
Computer, the only difference is that this computer is now controlled not by the Dreamers but by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
"Don't think too much, they can't get out." Suddenly Aaron felt someone pat his shoulder gently, and then heard Gu Yanqing whisper in a comforting tone.
"Really...Is there no other way?" Aaron turned his head and looked at the other person's face. If the consciousness hidden in the girl's body did not lie, then he was the initiator of those illusions.
"I just wanted to do a good deed." Gu Yanqing's deep sigh seemed to come from the abyss underground, so deep that Aaron shuddered.
"Please, please." At this time, the gate that should have been closed in theory slowly opened, and the leader made a gesture to invite in, but he and the other thugs had no intention of going any further.
Aaron walked into the facility with mixed feelings. The furnishings inside were almost the same as when he came here not long ago, except that there were no rows of humans hanging on the long assembly line. He still remembered his first
The scene he saw when he came here for the first time will never be forgotten in his life.
"Human obsession is so extreme." Gu Yanqing was heard sighing at the slaughtering assembly line.
"What on earth do you know?!" Aaron suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart.
Gu Yanqing didn't say a word, but shook her head at him apologetically. Aaron, who couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, wanted to go up and catch him, but was stopped by Kong Wei and Miss Luo at the same time. Why Kong Wei stopped him was unknown.
The confused Ms. Luo was probably simply a conditioned reflex out of her own interests.
Aaron finally woke up a little, snorted angrily and followed everyone.
Aaron remembered that the road ahead led to the disembowelment workshop. Of course, after it was taken over by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, there was no bloody scene like the one Aaron saw inside, but even those mechanical beds used to fix and dissect the human body were above
Without the body lying on it, it would not be difficult to tell what it was used for. Aaron heard Miss Luo and Kong Wei both gasp, Miss Luo's voice being louder.
Gu Yanqing's attitude remained calm, as if she was no one else.
"You brought me the person, well, I thought you would break your promise." At the end of the workshop, Aaron saw two figures, one sitting hunched over on the dissection bed, and the other standing uneasily next to him.
, eyes kept glancing at Gu Yanqing.
"Lantian? Why are you here?" Aaron stared at the standing figure, his mind in a mess.
"I called her here, don't think too much." The old district chief calmly gave Lan Tian an explanation, "She has many questions to ask, and I brought her here as part of your reward."
"All the troubles in District 9 after the incident were all because you wanted to call me here?" Before Aaron could speak, Gu Yanqing spoke first.
"Yes, otherwise why would you come out? You have been hiding for so long, and you don't even feel bad when you see people being stuffed into the assembly line like pigs." The old district chief's voice was clearly filled with resentment.
"I have my own reasons." Gu Yanqing's explanation sounded like an excuse.
