Chapter 226 The girl between scenes
——Two hours after the fire thallium hero escaped, in a conference room somewhere in the hotel.

The remains of the mythical creature suspected to be the "Sleeping Girl" have been temporarily moved here and placed on the conference table.Here it will undergo some preliminary dissection before being returned to the group.

Under the continuous burning of the flamethrower, there were not many uncarbonized parts left of the remains, and the whole body shrank like a blackened tree trunk.

The biochemistry experts surrounding him appeared to be more hesitant than usual in their dissection movements, and they even glanced at each other with doubts from time to time, but no one dared to speak first.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little delicate.

Because in front of the neck of this charred remains, there was a young girl standing on the conference table.

She was holding a suspicious white ball in her arms, and she was staring down at the neck of the corpse that had long been devoid of any features.

What's worse is that in stark contrast to the biochemical experts who were wearing high-level protective clothing with caution and discipline, the girl was closest to the remains but did not wear any protective measures.

What's worse is that this girl is their boss.

I don't know how long it took before Zhe Lukui raised his head.

She looked at her supervisor, who was also wearing a mask and protective clothing, and asked, "Preliminary conclusion?"

"Uh..." The biochemical technical director was stunned for a moment, but quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Ah! Well, there are still some viable tissues left. So for the sake of safety, I really recommend that you——"

"Thank you for your hard work, let's go out." Zhe Lukui said calmly.

"……Uh?"

Zhe Lukui glanced at the other technicians and said, "All of you, get out."

"but……"

But it’s you who should obviously go out!

Under Orokuchi's gaze, the biochemical technical supervisor was still unable to voice his objections. He just urged the technicians to quickly stop the work at hand and leave the room quietly one by one.

After there was no one else in the room, Zhe Lukui was in a daze for a moment, and finally exhaled deeply.

She finally put down the white ball in her arms and laid it flat on the table.

The fingerprint was pressed somewhere for a moment, and a set of nine-square digital buttons appeared on the ball.Zhe Lukui quickly entered the password again, and the ball finally made an unlocking sound and quietly split into two shells.

After the condensed gas pouring out of the spherical shell completely dissipated, what was revealed inside the spherical shell was Hui Yuanchu's head.

Zorukui picked up the head and placed it roughly on the head and neck of the charred remains.

Then, she took two steps back and waited quietly.

——Five minutes passed, and neither the head nor the blackened remains showed any reaction.

Zhe Lukui shook his head, turned around and sat on the table, sitting next to the head, close to him.

Then she stretched out her right hand and placed it naturally on the head, but she raised her head and looked at the ceiling, her expression a little confused.

She looked at the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, and said to someone, "Xiao Hui, don't pretend to be dead."

In this room where Orokui was alone, there was naturally no reply.

After a moment of silence, her own voice rang out, with an affirmative tone: "There is no such thing as a 'mythical creature' or a 'sleeping girl', and the summoning technique is just a blind method... The headless person who helped Huo Thallium Knight, it’s you.”

"In the battle with the fire thallium hero, Xiao Hui will probably habitually use his body as a consumable. His head will explode like a balloon, probably many times?"

After a brief pause, Zhe Lukui shook his head and chuckled: "——Then you discovered that, for some reason, you can still use Epionia."

"...Yes, by this time, even a fool like you should have realized it."

"I asked Sophia to make this version of the keyhole. Its true identity is far more than just some nanomachines, and what it locks is not your physical body."

"After that, no matter how many bodies you throw away, you can't get rid of it."

"Although I think the self-destruct function will have no effect on you...

“But the important thing is that you will never lose the keyhole I installed for you again, right?
"..."

In the empty conference room, Zorukui's voice echoed.

One sentence after another, unhurriedly.

...But there was no response in the conference room.

Her voice, as well as her originally high head, were getting lower and lower unknowingly.

"...

"That's it, even...even if you want to escape, it's impossible.

"In this way, Xiao Hui will never be able to get rid of me... and will always be by my side."

At the end, the girl lowered her head and looked at her toes, her voice too low to be heard.

Then, there was a long silence.In silence, she lowered her head and made no movement, like a sculpture.

Suddenly, a sniffling sound suddenly sounded, and then Orokui laughed loudly "ha", breaking the silence.

"But I didn't expect that you could even give up your head!"

"Although you usually don't like to use your brain...but why don't you just stop using it completely?"

"Blind, foolish... Do you really think you are Adabadu, imitating his unconscious state of chaos?"

In an instant, the knuckles of Zhe Lukui's right hand that was placed on the head suddenly tightened, and at the same time, her voice became more harsh than ever: "...Get up. Get up now, I can still forgive you."

But after three thrilling seconds, the room was still silent.

"You should answer it!" Zhe Lukui finally broke out in anger, and at the same time, he grabbed his head and smashed it to the ground.

——With a "bang" sound, his head hit the floor hard.

Zhe Lukui still couldn't let go of her hatred, and stomped hard on the head with her foot, screaming as she stomped:

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!
"You idiot, speak up!
"I won't allow you to die. Do you know how much I've bet on you? How much loss will I suffer if you die?? All my plans, my only reliance -

"Usually, aren't you just a pervert who fantasizes about being stepped on by this foot, and then you can get out!

"Then you should get up now! As long as you can sit up now, I will allow you to look at me now, X is on me!

"—Answer!!"

In the end, her voice became hoarse, and she raised her foot abruptly, kicking her head out, and hit the wall with a muffled "bang".

However, of course, the head still failed to issue a single reply, and just lay there quietly.

The only sound that sounded in the conference room was the girl's voice, panting after being furious.

She stood there and breathed hard, her breath trembling violently.

Finally, Orokuchi finally calmed down.

The girl sighed.She walked to the head that was thrown far away, picked it up again, and wiped away the dust on the head and the tissue fluid that oozed from the damaged areas with a gentle expression.

Then, she slowly squatted down on the spot, hugged her head tightly between her thighs and chest and abdomen, and buried her face deeply in it.

……

I don't know how much time passed, but finally a knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the solid atmosphere.

One sound - then a moment's hesitation, another sound.

After the third knock on the door, Zhe Lukui finally stood up quietly.

She put her head back on the table, then sat on the chair, turned her back to the door, and finally said in a still nasal voice: "Come in."

The one who came in was Ling Li.

She obviously didn't know what was going on inside in advance, and was immediately startled by the remains and heads on the table.

She raised her gaze, looked over the remains on the table, and cast her gaze at the girl behind the chair from afar, asking in a questioning and doubtful tone: "...Miss Aoi?"

"Say." Zhe Lukui made a somewhat muffled voice from behind the chair.

Rei Li confirmed once again that the door was closed, and then he came closer and reported softly: "Snake has been sent to Tokyo Medical Point No. [-], but his condition is still unstable. After all, the injury is too serious."

Speaking of this, Lingli hesitated for a moment, and suggested in a low voice, "Can we apply for..."

At this time, Orokuchi's voice finally became normal, and she interrupted Reiri with a steady voice: "No. You cannot let the snake come into contact with any A2."

"……Yes."

"What about the tracking status of the Fire Thallium Hero and the two unknown helpers?"

Lingli was silent for a moment and said in a lower voice: "The current news from the three arrest teams is that... they have all failed.

"Hero Fire Thallium got into the alleys of Shinjuku. The 32-1 team responsible for capturing Fire Thallium was not familiar with the local terrain, and unexpectedly clashed with local residents. The captain gave up the resistance and surrendered to the security police after weighing it. .

"As for the unknown facilitator A who seized the sniper point we set up in advance and seriously injured the snake, the 32-2 team did not even meet him. When they arrived at the sniper point, they only found the original person at this point. A fellow sniper... Fortunately, he only lost consciousness and Assistant A did not take his life.

"In the end, it was Assistant B who broke out from the underground garage with the Fire Thallium Hero. He rushed down Tokyo Bay from the Rainbow Bridge, and his life or death is unknown."

Zhe Lukui still had no reaction: "..."

But Rei Li caught Oro Aoi's dissatisfaction and hurriedly added: "Ah, but the operators of the 32-3 team have submitted a very valuable supplementary report."

"They said they witnessed that Assistant B had some..." At this point, Rei Li couldn't help but glance at the wreckage on the table, "similar to the A2-class object that was destroyed at the reception scene..."

"What characteristics?"

"No brain, but actions -" Lingling's voice suddenly dropped, "...with ease."

Because Zhe Lukui suddenly turned around and stared at Lili with bloodshot eyes and red swollen eyes.

Her eyes seemed blank for a moment, losing focus.But soon his pupils dilated, as if he had caught something.

Finally, a kind of anger suddenly rushed out of her body fiercely.For a moment, it seemed that the entire meeting room was in agitation. .

Rei Li was at a loss, not knowing where he had offended Orokui.

The anger quickly dissipated, and Zhe Lukui's expression gradually softened.

In the end, she even showed a relaxed smile again: "You go out too."

"...Huh?" Rei Li was caught off guard.

"Don't waste time here, go do your own thing." After thinking about it, Zhe Lukui said again, "By the way, go and call the biochemical technology director in again."

Ling Li was silent for a moment, bowed obediently, then left the room and closed the door behind him.

After the door was closed, Zhe Lukui slowly walked back to the side of the head.

She looked down at the head, thinking.At the same time, just like an unconscious movement when thinking, he picked up a scalpel and stabbed it-the blade was almost close to the head, and it was nailed to the table.

- "Boom".

Then she pulled out the scalpel and nailed it in again.

- "Boom".

——"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...

When the biochemical technology supervisor returned to the room, he looked up and saw this scene, and he immediately stopped.

Judging from the angle of his sight, he even mistakenly thought at first glance that Aoi Oro, with a distracted face, was stabbing the head with a scalpel in his hand rhythmically.

After hammering the scalpel into the table for the last time, Zhe Lukui withdrew her hand, and at the same time raised her head to look at the director of biochemical technology.

The sight made the supervisor almost want to run away through the door.

Fortunately, Zhe Lukui finally spoke, but her tone was very ordinary.

"This is the body of an ordinary male, right?"

"Hey...right!!!" Talking about professional and technical issues, the supervisor finally came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes, although it has been basically destroyed, the remaining infrastructure can still be seen. Coupled with DNA identification, the conclusion is definitely correct - 'this is the body of an ordinary male'..."

Speaking of this, the technical director came back to his senses: "...It seems that there are no traces of mythical creatures at all."

"But it's hard to say." He thought for a while and said, "After all, the comatose girl can use the power of Atalabadu. However, we have not obtained enough research samples before, and we cannot conclude that she has lost her ability to move. Will it be fixed in form later?”

Zhe Lukui stopped asking questions and seemed to have received a satisfactory answer.

Then she asked: "You just said that some of the tissues in this body are still active?"

"Yes, because your order was timely, there are still some cells in the deepest part of this body that have not been destroyed by the high temperature."

Zhe Lukui nodded and ordered: "Cancel the subsequent transfer process. There is no need to send this remains back to the headquarters for further analysis."

She said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Hasn't it been confirmed that this is not a mythical creature, but the corpse of an ordinary male? Isn't this completely worthless for research?"

"But -" The supervisor wanted to argue further, but felt that he couldn't be so arbitrary.

Ke Zhelukui has continued: "I'll give you another job - extract as many active cells as possible from this body and culture them properly. I need them to be at least 'alive' Two or three days.”

"...Yes." The supervisor could only respond, and then looked at the charred remains, "But in this case, only a small part of the tissue needs to be taken out... What about the remaining part?"

Zhelukui slowly put the head back into the white ball shell, closed the ball shell, and reset the lock.

"Just burn it, it's useless... Then you can take the remaining ashes home to raise flowers." Then she dropped these words, hugged the white ball, and left without looking back. into the conference room.

The biochemical technology supervisor stood there in shock, unable to make up his mind.

Oroku Aoi's last sentence... is this a joke, or is it a serious instruction with deep meaning?
