Who hid my body?

Its unique system also means that it does not have the various scandals like other churches, nor does it engage in various intrigues for so-called power.

Stories of bloody fights over money and wealth seemed no different from fairy tales to the Lyrans.

We are all "parts" of Tianqin, and we are all working in an orderly manner for the existence of this machine, which is called a city but is actually a machine.

So, when did the change occur?

Was the Eve incident ten years ago the beginning or the end?

This is the biggest mystery that is bothering Gerard right now.

Bai Wei was about to say something else to Gerard, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and narrowed Gerard's eyes slightly.

"I say, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible."

Gerald was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Someone is approaching your room."

"Near my room?" Gerald was even more surprised. "How did you know?"

"You left my finger there."

Bai Wei said with a chuckle.

"My fingers, saw them."

Chapter 96: Twenty-Seven Oh, Let Me See What Other Tricks You Have (6K)

In the cover of night, three heavily armed dark figures were rapidly approaching Gerard's cabin.

When one of them approached the hut, he immediately leaned against the wall and looked inside through the window. But before he could figure out what was going on, the other one patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous, Carl. That guy is in the detention center of the Skeleton Headquarters. He can't be here."

The man called Carl was a little unhappy with his companion's interruption: "Jim, you are too much of a fool. Even if he is not here, he was once..."

"We all know about the 'Knight of the Evening Star', but you also said that it was a thing of the past." Jim shrugged and said, "The second generation of the pioneer troops have been in office for ten years now. You still remember the 'hero' from ten years ago. Don't you know that in this era, no matter how good the prosthetic limbs are, they will be eliminated after three years of use?"

Carl was obviously not satisfied with what Jim said. He was about to refute when the big man with a physique as big as a hill who was walking at the end spoke up: "Well, hurry up and do it. Don't forget why Lord Yongxin spent so much effort to hold Xiaoxing back. Don't waste time here."

The big guy was obviously the leader of the three. As soon as he spoke, Jim and Carl stopped talking and prepared to get to work.

There was a "bang" sound.

Carl broke the old lock and the wooden door opened with a creaky sound.

Jim was about to push the door open, but was stopped by the big guy.

"Wait, look there." The big guy pointed behind the door.

The two of them looked in the direction of the door and discovered that there was a small and hidden mechanism behind the door. If they walked straight in, the mechanism would be triggered immediately, and a small crossbow arrow behind the mechanism would be fired.

Jim was shocked: "He even installed this on his doorstep."

Carl said, “That’s why I said to be careful of him.”

"But even if you say so, what good is such a small arrow?" said Jim. "Who can it hurt?"

The big guy walked forward and disassembled the small device with his extended prosthetic limbs. He then put the arrow in front of his nose and sniffed it, then said, "Dissolving liquid, this is not used to deal with people, but with pollutants. It was once the standard equipment of the pioneer troops... Of course, it was the first generation of pioneer troops."

Jim was a little skeptical: "Just this little bit of solvent on the arrow can kill a pollutant? That pollutant is too easy to deal with."

"Of course not. This amount of solvent can only cause the pollutant to stagnate for about ten seconds at most." The big guy explained, "After that, it will be restored to its original state."

"What's the use?"

The big guy glanced at Jim and said calmly, "In a polluted area, these nearly ten seconds are enough to save your life... Obviously, he doesn't expect this device to kill the pollutants, but to hold them back to buy more reaction time. In the polluted areas ten years ago, such devices were called doorbells, and they were necessary to sleep peacefully at night, so as not to be corroded by pollutants while sleeping."

After listening to the big guy's explanation, Carl nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "But this is not a contaminated area. What is he setting up this thing to deal with?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Even the big guy couldn't answer it after a little thought.

"Maybe it's just his habit." The big guy said calmly, "It's not easy for anyone who comes back from the contaminated area."

Carl and Jim both understood the big guy's double entendre.

Because the big guy was once a member of the pioneer team, but he was a second-generation pioneer devil team. It was precisely because of this experience that Carl and Jim recognized him as the leader.

This is qualifications.

"Go in." The big guy checked the door again before speaking again, "There shouldn't be anything inside."

Carl and Jim just entered the house, but with the previous trap, they became much more cautious now.

"What are we looking for?" Jim asked as he walked carefully in the narrow room.

"Anything that makes you feel suspicious." The big guy said in a deep voice, "The former Xiaoxing has changed more in the past few days than he has in the past ten years. Lord Yongxin believes that he must have encountered something, or... gained something."

"Just suspicious things... I think that's too much." Jim muttered, "Everything in this house is antique from ten years ago. I think that's enough. What is this, a museum?"

Jim's joke to liven up the atmosphere didn't get any response from anyone, which made him feel a little bored, so he just continued to work.

Then, a huge shadow blocked his way, and he was startled: "Fuck."

This immediately attracted the attention of Carl and the big guy: "What's wrong?"

"Come and take a look...what is this?"

In front of Jim was a large machine. It looked very old, and all its parts were covered with rust. According to Jim's standards, such a thing should be called scrap metal.

But Jim really couldn't treat the machine in front of him as scrap metal, because it looked too...majestic. Just standing there made Jim feel breathless.

"What the hell is this?" Jim asked.

The big guy had also walked over, and when he saw the machine, he also showed a surprised expression.

"This is... a pollution detector." The big guy said, "It's the instrument that the pioneer troops used to detect whether they were contaminated."

Karl was a little puzzled: "It's just for pollution detection, why is it so big?"

"Because detection is only one of its purposes." The big guy said in a low voice, "Its more direct effect is to remove the pollution after it is detected."

"How to clean up the pollution?" Jim asked subconsciously, "How to clean it up?"

The big guy patted a groove on the top of the machine and said, "See here? This is for placing the chainsaw sword. Do you understand now?"

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

Jim and Carl only had to imagine the chainsaw sword embedded in the machine to immediately understand how it worked and felt a chill in their hearts.

"That old guy, is he so cruel to himself?" Jim muttered, "He really doesn't even intend to leave a complete corpse for himself."

Carl also said: "This should have been the standard configuration of the Evening Star, but it has probably not been activated for a long time."

At this moment, the big guy felt something. He first looked at the core part of the machine, then looked at the seat in the middle, and then his brows frowned little by little.

"No, this machine was activated recently." The big guy said slowly, "Just within one or two days, that is, after he came back."

Jim and Carl were stunned.

The big guy slowly stepped back. The more he looked at the details of the machine, the more certain he became of his previous inference.

The machine has been activated.

Jim still hadn't responded: "Why did he activate it?"

No one answered him because the answer could be easily obtained with a little thought.

Why is the detection instrument activated?

That's of course because... I feel I'm contaminated.

At this moment, the following picture emerged in the minds of the three people - a prim and lonely knight, sitting alone on the instrument used to slaughter himself in the middle of the night, pulling the lever, waiting for his fate to come.

"It seems... Lord Yongxin's judgment is correct." The big guy said slowly, "There is indeed a change in that guy. Even he can feel it."

"…But he's still alive and well." Jim said, "That means the device didn't work, so is he contaminated?"

"Does this have anything to do with us?" The big guy glanced at Jim and said lightly, "What is your definition of pollution? According to the definition of pollution ten years ago, then we..."

The words still only went so far, but Jim already understood.

"Yes, times have changed," he said. "Pollution also needs to be redefined. If he is dead, then he is pollution. If he is not dead, then we are pollution. It's that simple."

After a brief exchange, the three of them continued to look for the "suspicious object" and searched through the pile of "junk".

They were not afraid of leaving too many traces and being discovered by Gerard later, because when they entered the room, they were destined to be unable to hide it, and Gerard would definitely find out - that was a knight of the Evening Star, not some random person.

In other words, they can only take such action once, and it won't work the next time.

Therefore, they don't need to worry so much, just find the suspicious object before Gerard comes back.

This was a very simple task, because they knew exactly how long Gerard would be imprisoned, and they had plenty of time, enough to turn the small house upside down and then burn it down.

But for some reason, such an easy task brought inexplicable pressure to the three of them.

This feeling is especially obvious for the big guys who once belonged to the devil's army, as if they had returned to a polluted land.

That damn place has always given people a feeling of suffocation that is enough to drive people crazy. That is why the big guy retired from the Devil and worked for a new organization.

But now, he seemed to be back in that damn place again.

But this is clearly just an ordinary house, and what is piled up inside is nothing but scrap metal from ten years ago.

So where does this strange feeling of depression come from?

The longer the big guy stayed in the room, the more irritated he became. Especially when he walked to the desk and saw the photos of the former "Evening Star" troops on the desk, he felt more like he was back in a polluted land. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the leg of the desk.

"Fuck it." He cursed.

The old desk immediately began to shake, and the yellowed photos on it fell down one by one.

The big guy originally just took a quick glance and was planning to go to the other side to look for clues, but just with this glance, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, so he stopped and looked in the direction.

He saw a very strange box that was somewhat out of tune with the entire Tianqin style.

Karl on the side also noticed this and immediately widened his eyes: "What is that?"

So Jim stopped what he was doing and looked over.

Uneasy, very uneasy.

This was the big guy's most direct feeling when he saw the box. The strange patterns on the box made him feel that his spirit was giving him a crazy warning.

But Jim and Carl obviously didn't feel that way. They walked towards the desk together, and the big guy, after a slight hesitation, did not stop them. He just watched the two of them walk to the desk, and then Carl opened the box.

And when they saw what was in the box, they all showed shocked expressions.

Because what was in the box was a finger.

……

"I was discovered after all." Bai Wei's voice rang in Gerard's mind, "Tsk, what a hassle! If you had connected my finger earlier, wouldn't this have happened?"

Gerard's face was not looking good either. He looked at the skeleton knight guarding him outside the prison. Knowing that he couldn't get out for a while, he whispered, "What should we do? Will they take your finger away?"

"Although they don't know what my finger is, after all, you Tianqin don't know much about the outside world, but this doesn't mean that the existence behind him doesn't know." Bai Wei said lightly, "Once they take it away, things will be very troublesome. You have to think about it, what will happen if those guys who have played you around in circles get my finger? Anyway, I think you will never find the truth."

Gerard clenched his fists, and even the absurd idea of ​​"prison break" flashed through his mind.

But Gerard also knew that even if he escaped from prison now, he couldn't rush home immediately, after all, they were not in the same district.

What should we do now?

Just then, he heard Bai Wei say "eh" softly.

"You are really lucky." Bai Wei said lightly, "Your friends are here to help you."

friend?

Gerald was slightly stunned.

Where do his friends come from now?

……

"boom"!

The window next to the desk was suddenly broken.

Carl, who was closest to the window and was still studying his fingers, was instantly swallowed by a big mouth.

This stunned Jim who was standing by.

"Get out of the way!" The big guy kicked Jim aside to prevent him from being bitten by the contaminant.
