Chapter 258: The Old Director of the Orphanage
When Lu Xin took out the document at his home in Yueliangtai, a special report was being held in a high-level conference room in the main city of Qinggang. Only five people were listening to the report. Chairman Su Xinzhong, Minister of City Defense Chen Lei, Head of the Special Operations Group of the Special Pollution Cleanup Department Colonel Chen Jing, and two other highest-ranking gentlemen in the main city of Qinggang.
The report was given by Professor Bai, director of the Institute of Special Pollution Research.
Although Qinggang still had many issues left over from the attack by the Sea Country to deal with, in their eyes, this report seemed to be more important than all those issues, and more important than Qinggang's revenge on the Sea Country afterwards. They were all extremely tense.
"Before I make this report, I need to remind you."
Professor Bai got straight to the point and said, "What you heard is likely to be something beyond our own identities."
"Knowing these things may not necessarily be beneficial, I hope you can be mentally prepared."
After saying this, he looked at the people present solemnly and said, "From the first report submitted by Chen Jing, I saw the materials about the individual soldier, or Lu Xin, and that material When I read about his deeds related to the Red Moon Orphanage, I had some guesses about his identity. The reason was not because of him, but because of this orphanage.
"Later, through the investigation of this orphanage, I found an important piece of evidence. After comparing the two, I began to suspect that the inconspicuous orphanage in our Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City might be related to the escaped laboratory of the Alliance Research Institute. related."
"…"
Minister Shen said coldly: "You should explain it in more detail. I want to know what you found."
"It's a signature."
Professor Bai seemed to have been prepared and showed everyone a document in a transparent plastic bag.
This is a document that is somewhat worn and even moldy, and on it is a handwritten application for the establishment of an "orphanage."
There were many such documents when Qinggang was first rebuilt and order was still in chaos.
After all, even printing was a difficult task at that time.
The last name signed on the document was "Wang Yuanjing" and was written very sloppily.
"This handwriting is very similar to that of someone I've seen before, so I started to pay attention to it at that time."
Professor Bai said calmly: "Since I have started to pay attention to it, I can of course look for some other clues to support it. Moreover, the Knights outside the city later spied on the individual soldier, which made me sure that this person with special abilities It's not simple."
"So, it's not difficult to infer that the Red Moon Orphanage may be related to the escaped laboratory."
"…"
"Just because of a signature?"
Professor Bai's words caused some surprise among the people in the conference room, and their expressions were somewhat unbelievable.
"If you have done a careful study on handwriting, you will find that everyone's handwriting is very different."
Professor Bai said: "What's more, his handwriting is really ugly."
"…"
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and several people clearly didn't know how to answer this question.
Mr. Su said: "So, the person you recognized is..."
"The escaped laboratory director, Wang Jingyun."
Professor Bai answered frankly, "He was also one of the four researchers with the highest academic level in the original Lunar Eclipse Research Institute. When I was an intern at the institute, I took some courses under his guidance. So it made a deep impression."
The meeting room became quiet.
Mr. Su asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you warn us at that time?"
"…"
"First, I signed a confidentiality agreement when I left the institute."
"So, only now that you have discovered the problem with the single soldier, I will tell you again, so as not to violate the agreement."
"Second, ..."
Professor Bai paused for a moment and said, "I have something to verify."
"…"
"I think everyone knows how much the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute values the 'Escaped Laboratory', but what everyone may not understand is that it is not just because the entire carriage of the laboratory disappeared for no reason, which is too unbelievable. The reason is not just because the laboratory holds 19 most special experimental subjects for research, but there is a more important reason: "
"A special spirit body codenamed 'Tyrant' is also in that laboratory."
"…"
"…"
After reading the introduction on the first page, Lu Xin did not show any strange expression on his face.
He just continued to look behind him under the calm and somewhat distant gaze of his family members.
On the second page, there are some supplements to the "Escaped Laboratory" mission. It seems like Qin Ran, or Zhang Sihuo, or many other people have done research on this laboratory and have found clues over the years.
These clues will obviously not be directly included in the reward introduction, but they are more detailed.
For example, the director of the laboratory: Wang Jingyun, one of the four most authoritative experts when the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute was first established.
For example, speculations about the nineteen experimental subjects and some investigation reports.
For example, some bounty hunters or teams who have been carrying out this bounty mission for a long time, their experiences and final results, etc.
Most of them died, and a few went crazy.
…
Lu Xin didn't have the patience to read all this, he just glanced at it briefly and continued to look behind.
After skipping a few pages, he saw a photo.
On the back of the photo, the three words "Wang Jingyun" were written in thick ink.
Lu Xin's head was throbbing, and then he slowly turned the photo over, and a man in a white coat jumped into his sight.
The photo shows a middle-aged man who looks very elegant. It seems that the photo was taken when he was working in a research institute or somewhere else. He was wearing a white coat, looked thin, had a friendly and bright smile, and had a comfortable temperament.
Lu Xin was silent, looking at the photo, and suddenly many messy images flooded into his mind.
In this scene, there is a scene where the kind dean is giving a lecture to himself and other children.
There is a scene where he leads his people to do radio gymnastics.
There is a scene in which he, beneath the stars at night, nostalgically recounts scenes of life in the civilized era before the arrival of the red moon.
…
All these images overlapped and intertwined, some seemed real, some seemed fake, they kept appearing in my mind, and then suddenly disappeared. Finally, all the images began to become transparent and disappeared. Only in these images did the man's face remain, and then it overlapped little by little, and finally overlapped with the person in the photo, completely matching him.
The old dean.
This is the person who left the most profound impression on Lu Xin in his childhood memory.
He taught Lu Xin everything kind and beautiful about this world.
"It turns out that he is the director of a research institute. No wonder he knows so much..."
When Lu Xin saw him, he felt warm, yet somewhat empty in his heart...
The respected dean died in the disaster.
…
Thinking about these questions slowly, he subconsciously put the photo on the table.
He flipped his fingers and looked at the last page of the document.
This is the newest page and also the one with the most content, with densely packed text and printed photos.
Lu Xin looked at it and his pupils suddenly contracted:
Temporarily added "The Escaped Laboratory" investigation mission.
The latest intelligence is that a "stalker" has found traces of Chen Xun, assistant to the escaped laboratory director Wang Jingyun, in Beishang City.
The attempt to capture him was unsuccessful and they only found some half-destroyed data.
After recovering the data, we learned that Chen Xun had been communicating with "a certain director" through letters, paying attention to the news trends in Qinggang, and recording experimental data related to "Tyrant". We suspect that the experiment has been ongoing and that the director he was communicating with was... It was Wang Jingyun.
It can be speculated that the escaped laboratory is in Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City.
Please confirm and report quickly.
…
Below this information is a black ink scan of the photo.
The photo was blurry, but it was clear that a man in a baseball cap was walking down the street and was captured by surveillance cameras.
There is a corresponding date in the lower right corner of the scanned photo, which was taken two months ago.
Those facial features made Lu Xin feel particularly familiar.
Originally, Lu Xin had no deep impression of this person. Perhaps even if he saw him, he would not recognize him. But it happened that Lu Xin had seen him not long ago. In his previous subconscious dream, he saw this face. He Wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
At that time, he was conducting an anatomical experiment.
…
"Swish!"
Lu Xin stood up suddenly, his face grim and with an indescribable temperament:
"He's not dead?"
His brows furrowed tightly: "How could he not be dead?"
"If that's him, then what kind of person is the dean?"
"They said that the person he was communicating with was Wang Jingyun... So, the dean is still alive?"
"…"
The family members all watched in silence, even the father, who usually had the worst temper, remained silent.
In the empty house, Lu Xin seemed to be talking to himself.
His memory became confused, and he suddenly found that some of the things he remembered vividly were full of uncertainty.
His expression became somewhat distorted. He should have been confused and strange, but underneath it, he concealed a fierceness and sinisterness.
This diametrically opposed expression seemed to split him in two.
The headache is numb and has a hollow echo.
"Buzz"
The voltage in the old house became unstable again, and the light bulbs began to flicker.
The calendars nailed to the wall, the cutlery in the kitchen, and the plates on the table all began to shake slightly.
Around the table, mother, father, and sister just looked at him in silence.
It is rare to see such a unified expression on their faces.
…
"Woof woof…"
Suddenly at this moment, the sound of dogs barking was heard in the room.
The skinless puppy nervously grabbed Lu Xin's trouser leg and pulled it hard. At the same time, Lu Xin felt a cool sensation coming from the frame of the glasses he was wearing. The cool feeling was still spreading, and bright red threads spread out from the frame, covering his entire forehead. It was like a strange net covering my head.
The emotions surging in Lu Xin's heart suddenly stabilized.
The headache was fading away, and the illusion in his heart let him go, returning to reality.
"Why should I be so surprised?"
He said to himself: "There is still someone alive in our orphanage. I should be happy for him..."
He spoke calmly, but he didn't notice.
At this time, the corners of his mouth were extending to both sides, forming a strange arc.
