Deep in

two weeks later.

It was already 04:30 in the afternoon when Bai Qi came out of the police station. The time was like a ferocious three-legged monster, and it was heading towards December in a blink of an eye, leaving no chance for anyone to buffer.

He has never been able to find Xu Mo, or the serial disappearance case has never been solved, but there have been no new victims. The police station is still busy with this matter, but has no clue.

The days gradually calmed down, Bai Qi would always dream of Xu Mo over and over again, sometimes he brought hot water for him in the police station, sometimes he covered him with a quilt at home, and then sat down and gently stroked his face. The face, the knuckles of the fingers are very real to the touch, as if this person has never left.

Today's sky is as beautiful as a blue screen without any impurities. Bai Qi raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the clouds in the distance. His handsome and resolute face showed charming curves in the afterglow. He smiled bitterly and stretched Stretching out, I decided to go home and sleep.

But as soon as he stepped forward, the mobile phone in his pocket rang untimely. The sudden interruption of the plan was uncomfortable. He frowned, connected the phone, and walked towards the parking space .

"Hello, Captain Bai, how are you doing lately?" There was a thick man's voice on the other end of the phone, who sounded like he was in his thirties, with a lazy and slow tone.

Bai Qi's frown deepened. It has been about a year since the last contact between the two of them. He never thought that he would still hear this voice in his lifetime.

He smiled lowly twice, closed the door and got into the car: "Dr. Zhao, you are such a rare visitor. What's the matter?"

"I've heard about the recent disappearance case. If you have time, come to the research institute." The person on the other end hung up after finishing talking, leaving only a cold mechanical busy tone.

Bai Qi shook his head, threw the phone to the co-pilot's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and arrived at the destination in 5 minutes.

From the outside, this is an ordinary bookstore. There is a wooden sign in front of the door saying that it is closed. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the ink and strong coffee smell from the books.

He went straight to the seat by the window and sat down. After a while, a man in a white coat came over and pushed a cup of steaming coffee in front of him: "Drink some, freshly ground."

Bai Qi took it and stirred it gently with a spoon. The mellow coffee aroma gradually filled every nook and cranny in the store. He raised his head, and there was a light mist in front of him: "Why didn't you tell me, the missing one?" These people are all Evol (super-evolved humans)?"

"You have supernatural powers, don't you know that?" The man called Dr. Zhao sipped the coffee in his hand and said casually.

"Xu Mo disappeared for a month." Bai Qi put down his spoon, the sound of porcelain clashing was particularly sharp in the quiet bookstore: "If the organization still keeps silent about this matter, I have the right to choose to resign as an Evol policeman , by the way return the risk control ability."

"Young people, don't be so impatient. I will explain it to you slowly. In fact, you are not the only Evlo in the Sunshine Orphanage. About ten years ago, the director of the orphanage found experts in the organization and asked to join Research, his motives are not pure, so he was rejected on the spot."

Dr. Zhao took another sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and continued: "Afterwards, he trained many children with different personalities to implant chips, so that these people became Evlo to work for him, and Xu Mo was one of them. As for the black hand behind the disappearance case Who is it, I think you should be more clear, he was instructed by the dean to kidnap those people in order to conduct a joint experiment, in order to make them obey the dean's instructions and become the best puppets."

During the whole process, Bai Qi never spoke, and only when Xu Mo was mentioned did his back stiffen. He lowered his eyelashes, looked at the clearly visible texture on the wooden table, and his eyes felt a little lonely.

After a while, I heard his voice asking softly: "Is Xu Mo... still alive?"

Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, his expression was a bit strange, and he was unexpectedly dazed. He stood up and went to the inside of the counter to grope carefully. After a while, he came back again and threw a crumpled note on the table: "This is the address we investigated. Xu Mo lived in this abandoned factory when he disappeared."

"Thank you." Bai Qi took the note and stood up from the chair. Days of mental torture made this resolute and stern man a little thinner. Looking at the furnishings in the bookstore.

Dr. Zhao raised his chin at him and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Bai Qi stood there against the light, and the brilliant red and yellow sunset glow embedded in his slender figure, as if the whole body was emitting a hazy halo: "If I don't come back alive, please help me keep Xu Mo, as long as he can live well, I am willing to give this life to the organization."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, turned around and strode away, like a leopard eager to gallop on the grassland, hearty and free and easy, leaving only the bright golden light all over the ground...

According to the address given by Dr. Zhao, Bai Qi drove for nearly two hours before finding the destination of the trip. He parked the car in a relatively secluded corner, and then tiptoed forward to explore under the moonlight. with.

This is an abandoned dilapidated factory, with dim chandeliers on, the air is filled with the smell of chemical raw materials, and there is a faint smell of blood. The ground is full of rotten fruit peels, plastic waste that has not yet been digested, and shapes that cannot be seen clearly. animal carcasses.

There was a man in a white coat standing in the center. He was tall and straight, as if he was waiting for someone, and kept staring at the pocket watch in his hand.

The moment the four eyes met, the flashing memories of the past surged up, and the time turned to a sunny afternoon four years ago. Bai Qi was injured while chasing the prisoner, and hid in the backstage of a studio. The one who was being interviewed was a recently prestigious young scientist from the Love Language Room. He had a hasty face-to-face meeting with that person before his consciousness disappeared.

So, look at ten thousand years.

Bai Qi opened his mouth, his voice was mixed with many inexplicable emotions, and he called out almost with all his strength: "Xu Mo!"

Immediately afterwards, someone hit his forehead with a sharp object, and at the last moment when his eyes were completely out of focus, what he saw was Xu Mo's extremely sad face against the light.
