Son of the Stars

Chapter 13 Cheng Guang
The sound of the explosion broke into the dormitory directly after Watanabe shouted "cover the VIP retreat".It was like a transparent fist full of power, hitting Lu Chen's chest directly.

After stumbling, he followed Watanabe and the others out of the dormitory, and seven or eight armored vehicles quickly appeared downstairs in Lu Chen's dormitory.The big men in heavy bulletproof suits jumped out of the car, as if pretending to be piglets, and directly stuffed Tang Qinglong and Li Xiaohui into the armored car.

Even Lu Chen received similar treatment. By the time he realized it, he was lying face down on the floor of the armored vehicle.

Rubbing his crooked nose on a pair of combat boots, Lu Chen barely got up.And in the armored vehicle... the big men in heavy bulletproof suits looked nervous.

They kept communicating, as if they wanted to determine who and what force launched the attack where.But the communication didn't yield results. Lu Chen only heard the group of well-trained professionals ask repeatedly, but didn't hear any answer.

"It's not that the signal is interrupted, but I can still receive communication information on other bands." Several big men roughly put another layer of body armor on Watanabe's gray suit jacket, but Watanabe himself did not move at all.He just sat on the ground, frowning and muttering, "It's not frequency band suppression, it's impossible for someone to suppress only our communication frequency..."

Academician Tang seemed to be in shock. He managed to get out from under two heavy body armors and two big men who were pressing on him.Looking at the surrounding environment, he was stunned for a while and then asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Go to the Bureau first." Watanabe raised his head, glanced at the sky along the thick bulletproof glass, and said, "Now the safety of you and Director Li is the top priority. Let's go to the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau first. The basement there is It can withstand direct hits from heavy ground-piercing bombs."

Lu Chen, who was lying on the ground, sat up straight in silence. The last time he heard someone use the equivalent of a weapon to describe the "sturdyness" of a building, the consequences were not too good.

A convoy of three armored vehicles zipped through the streets, occasionally stopping to let panicked civilian vehicles go first.

After driving stop and go for about half an hour, the armored vehicle leading the convoy suddenly stomped to death and stopped on the side of the road.Lu Chen, who had slipped a little on the floor, was pulled by the kind elder brother next to him. When he was pulled up, Lu Chen saw the scene outside through the bulletproof glass.

A deep pit with a diameter of about 30 meters and a depth of about ten meters suddenly appeared on the ground.The walls of the pit were all black and shiny. Judging from the dilapidated buildings around, Lu Chen judged...he should have been to this place.But where it is, he can only make a bold guess.

"I said brother..." Lu Chen turned his head to look at Watanabe and Tang Qinglong who were ashen-faced, "This place...couldn't be the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau before?"

Then Lu Chen grabbed Watanabe's neck like crazy, "Where's Yang Weimin?! Is Brother Yang still inside?!"
-
The Comprehensive Investigation Bureau is the most important intelligence and law enforcement agency under the coalition government.In addition to fighting serious criminal crimes and ensuring the smooth operation of the society under the coalition government, the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau also has the duty of collecting intelligence and cracking down on extremist organizations.

To put it bluntly, the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau is a basket, and everything can be put in it.As for such a spy organization that specializes in intelligence investigations and has considerable operational capabilities, its main core offices in major cities should at least be very safe places, not to mention heavily guarded.

But it is such a "very safe place", such a place "that can withstand heavy ground-piercing bombs", and now the five-story office building has completely disappeared, and there is a deep pit of more than 30 meters on the ground.

This ending is not without irony.

Now, of course... nobody cares about that irony anymore.

Watanabe finally let the motorcade drive back to Central University, and took Li Xiaohui and Tang Qinglong to the conference room of the Institute of Physics.

Entering the meeting room with them was Lu Chen who was tied into a rice dumpling and was writhing back and forth.

It is normal for Lu Chen to be anxious about Yang Weimin's safety.But... when he pulled Watanabe's neck collar, he used too much force, and directly tore off the two notched collars on the opponent's suit jacket.

This suit jacket was a wedding anniversary gift from Mrs. Watanabe to Section Chief Watanabe.For Mr. Watanabe, it means a lot.

Then Lu Chen was pushed to the ground by the impatient Watanabe.The officers of the investigation bureau who accompanied him decisively tied up Lu Chen - and stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth by the way.

"Professor Yang Weimin is participating in a research project in Medellin. He is safe now." After saying this in Lu Chen's ear, Watanabe turned to look at Academician Tang Qinglong, and did not mention the matter of untying Lu Chen at all.

"Academician Tang, you can completely give up your efforts to win a pension for Thomas." Watanabe almost threw his mobile phone in front of Tang Qinglong, "Have you seen this person?"

Tang Qinglong pushed the glasses on his nose, and looked at the screen with some difficulty.Then he opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

"I think you are no stranger to Thomas' wife." Watanabe took back the phone, the screen shook, and Lu Chen saw a white flash.

"Judging from the clothing and the action patterns of the group of people around them, they are undoubtedly members of an extreme religious group." Watanabe looked at Tang Qinglong sideways, and his voice became louder and more angry, "Academician Tang, I know you are a good person. But in this kind of matter, can you respect our professionalism? We are a professional organization, and there is a basis for saying that he is the culprit!"

"This kind of video is meaningless. Just find an AI that breaks the limit and can generate tens of thousands of frames in 5 minutes." Tang Qinglong retorted, "What basis do you have? I have measured the scale of the explosion more than a dozen times, and you have seen it ——400 tons of TNT equivalent, that thing has a volume of 240 five cubic meters!"

While retorting, Tang Qinglong knocked on the table and said, "The control room has an area of ​​67 square meters and a height of [-] meters. Even if the entire control room is filled with TNT, it is only [-] cubic meters of space—your doubts are justified from a physical point of view." Impossible to set up!"

"He may have used other types of explosives. Using the TNT equivalent does not mean that we believe that the explosives are TNT!" Not even a gram!"

"If you don't understand this knowledge, you can learn it. You can ask me. There is no need to cover up your ignorance with knowledge you don't understand." Tang Qinglong didn't intend to hide his contempt at all. He shook his head and said, "Fissile materials exist. Critical mass limit. 1 gram of nuclear material is far below the critical mass limit, and fission is impossible. Your people have also confirmed that there is no abnormal radiation around the explosion site, so it is even less likely to be a nuclear explosion."

Lu Chen, who was tied into a maggot, listened to the two people spraying each other, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Taking a step back, Thomas really blew himself up holding more than ten kilograms of nuclear material.What happened to the 42-bed Jeanne?The whole process of her going from high fever to chapped to white light is recorded-although that scene is scary, it is not like a scene that would be produced by a "nuclear weapon explosion".

Although Lu Chen didn't know what the picture of the nuclear weapon explosion was, it definitely couldn't be like this.

The two quarreled for a long time, and Director Li Xiaohui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't listen anymore.She interrupted the two middle-aged men who seemed to be fighting cocks and asked, "What's the point of arguing about this now? Shouldn't you solve more practical problems first instead of arguing?"

Watanabe and Tang Qinglong obviously haven't quarreled enough, but both of them chose to take a step back at this time and listen to the opinions of the third party.

"Debating cannot give an answer—but those religious extremists may have an answer." Li Xiaohui said, "Don't worry about whether Thomas caused the explosion on purpose, and don't go into the cause of the explosion. Find those religious extremists , and then figure out the explosion process this time, wouldn’t it be enough?”

She looked at Watanabe and asked, "The Comprehensive Investigation Bureau has the duty of investigating and cracking down on religious extremists. It shouldn't be difficult to dig out answers from them, right?"

Watanabe didn't answer right away. He looked at Li Xiaohui quietly, sighed and asked back, "You are an expert in the study of mental illness, so it must not be difficult to find out the pathogenesis of the big crash, right?"

If it wasn't for the stuffed cloth in his mouth, Lu Chen would have almost laughed out loud.

Li Xiaohui's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, she turned her head and simply stopped talking.

"Woooo..." Lu Chen struggled on the seat, it sounded like he had something to say.

The dignified and embarrassing atmosphere at the scene was broken by Lu Chen's humming. Tang Qinglong tried to untie Lu Chen with his own hands, but he couldn't untie it for a long time.Fortunately, the officers of the investigation bureau around reacted quickly enough to quickly untie Lu Chen.

"There is a situation where I suggest that your investigation bureau better communicate with my Brother Yang." Lu Chensheng was afraid that his mouth would be blocked again, so he quickly shouted at the speed of "the mouth must be returned when it expires in ten seconds", "Thomas and Jeanne have something in common, they both have a severe fever!"

The three people at the scene were silent together, and finally Director Li Xiaohui asked first, "Fever? What does fever have to do with this?"

"I don't know." Lu Chen replied very honestly, "There are not enough samples so far, so I can't give a definite conclusion... But both of them were indeed sick before the explosion, and their illnesses are very similar."

"Do you think that some kind of disease caused the explosion?" Director Li Xiaohui questioned Lu Chen's "speculation", "It was an explosion, and it was extremely powerful. What disease can turn people into a big firework? Masked Knight virus?"

"If I really want to make a metaphor, I think 'Ultraman virus' is more appropriate." Watanabe shook his head aside, "It can turn people into light and then into air... Isn't that Ultraman?"

Academician Tang sat in his seat, his face full of confusion and bewilderment - what Ultraman Kamen Rider?What are they talking about?
