Chapter 755: 749th Round
Yang Xiao recounted the experiences of the past few days to Lu Xun.
Hearing that Chen Ling had led them out of the siege, a flash of surprise flashed across Lu Xun's face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved.
"It seems that I did not misjudge the person..." Lu Xun stood up again and solemnly extended his hand to Chen Ling,
"Director Chen, our previous meeting in Shennongjia was a bit hasty... Please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Lu Xun. I have a doctorate in astrophysics and am one of the initiators of the Red Star exploration plan."
Seeing this, Chen Ling also stood up and held his hand.
"I'm Chen Ling."
Chen Ling's self-introduction was very simple, without explaining where he came from or why he wanted to help Su Zhiwei and others. Mysteries seemed to be everywhere around him, just like the deep and mysterious starry sky in the universe...
Lu Xun didn't hate mystery. He just needed to know that Chen Ling's attitude towards them was friendly, and that was enough.
"Actually, this meeting is a bit hasty..." Lu Xun glanced at the time on his watch, "However, we still have at least half an hour. During this period, no one will disturb us."
"So, what's going on? Who's following you?"
A hint of complexity flashed in Lu Xun's eyes. After being silent for a long time, he still sighed:
"...It's 749 rounds."
"749 rounds?"
Chen Ling and Yang Xiao were both stunned.
"Bureau 749, whose full name is the Supernatural Events Investigation Bureau, was once affiliated with the national defense department, and later became independent and responsible for the exploration and investigation of civilian paranormal phenomena... Because my work involves cosmic observation, I occasionally interact with their people. The astronomical observation units are under their supervision.”
"Is there really such an organization?" Yang Xiao said in surprise, "I always thought that Bureau 749 was just a rumor... So are they an official organization or an unofficial organization?"
"The situation in Bureau 749 is more complicated... You can understand it as a semi-official organization, with some official background, but none of the members have official status." Lu Xun paused for a moment and continued,
"The daily work of Bureau 749 is to search and investigate some Shinto owners and register them to prevent their abilities from affecting social stability. These registered personnel are called 'white hands', and in our country People who operate within the country but have not yet been registered are called ‘black hands’.”
After speaking, Lu Xun glanced at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling, who possesses the divine way but has not yet been found out by Bureau 749, is naturally a member of the "Black Hand".
"So... the official has long been aware of the existence of Shinto, and already has a complete management system for Shinto owners?"
To be honest, Chen Ling is not surprised by this. After all, Shinto has existed since ancient times. It is impossible for the government not to know about it. There must be more than one master like Xiao Chunping in the country... The so-called intangible cultural heritage exchange forum is probably some kind of official “Hands-free” meetings held.
It goes without saying that Nie Yu is like this. As a fifth-level [Hunter], he is quite famous on the dark web. People at home and abroad know about the existence of Shinto, but they just keep it secret.
"Yes." Lu Xun nodded slightly, "The impact of the Scarlet Star incident this time was too great. There were a lot of casualties in Shangjing. Bureau 749 had long attached great importance to it... so they found me immediately and wanted me to lead The team will analyze the Red Star fragments to understand what this is."
"Then you summoned us?" Yang Xiao suddenly realized, "Why are you so anxious about this exploration..."
"Because we don't know what Red Star is, we need experts in various fields to sit in, but no one expected that kind of change would happen in Shennongjia..."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly,
"After the exploration, Bureau 749 was very surprised by what we encountered. Who would have thought that a piece of extraterrestrial debris would melt and disappear into our bodies... So they proposed to take my body samples for experimental analysis."
Hearing this, Chen Ling's expression gradually became subtle, and he seemed to have guessed the subsequent development of events.
"Then what?" Yang Xiao asked immediately.
"Later, they discovered some unknown component in my blood. They could not analyze it, and my brain waves were completely out of the human category... This kind of discovery has never been seen before in the history of mankind. of.
So, they proposed to conduct a more detailed analysis on me, and I agreed... After all, this is a major discovery for mankind. If something can be cracked from it, maybe human technology will usher in another leap.
They went from my skin, to my blood, to my organ slices, and finally even took away part of my bone marrow...
I cooperated with them in various experiments in the laboratory, but failed to make any progress. Until one day, I suddenly found that I seemed to have some kind of power and could turn some theoretical knowledge into reality... This made Game 749 was even more shocking.
It was also from that time that I realized something was wrong.
Although I have been staying in the laboratory and have not had any contact with the outside world, I can feel that differences of opinion are beginning to appear within Bureau 749... More and more people are coming to take samples from me, and the experiments every day are becoming more and more intensive. In the end, I even developed symptoms of shock and coma due to frequent blood draws. "
"Are they using you for human experiments?" Yang Xiao immediately frowned and said, "In Bureau 749, are you still doing this??"
"No... This may not be the intention of Bureau 749, but the intention of some individuals, because later I was secretly transferred out of the laboratory of Bureau 749 and transferred to another place for secret experiments... I am afraid that someone wants to conceal the truth and take my secrets for themselves."
"... Then what?"
"I realized that something was wrong, so I secretly borrowed a mobile phone from Dr. Chu and began to contact other members participating in the exploration... Because I think that the changes in me are not isolated cases, and you may also become the target of this group of people.
I first contacted Wu Tongyuan. At that time, his plane had just landed and arrived in Shangjing, so I asked him to buy the nearest flight to Las Vegas.
As for the others, Dr. Ji and Dr. Lou have been missing since the end of the exploration. Dr. Chu is by my side, and I don’t have Dr. Su’s phone number. No one answered when I called her unit... I called your unit, and they said you were missing...
Time was tight at the time, and I couldn’t contact more people, so I could only pretend to cooperate with the experiment on the surface, secretly find an opportunity to leave, and then contact you."
"I have a question!" Chen Ling suddenly spoke.
"You tell me."
"Dr. Chu, who is it?"
