Ren Yi rushed to the monitoring room. In addition to the security guards, there were also Sun Yiyi, Liu Hui, the venue staff, and Zhang Zhong, the leader of the police force on duty this time.
"What happened?" Ren Yi has tried his best to adjust his emotions along the way. Although Sun Yifei usually likes to joke—they usually like to joke—but he is absolutely meticulous in business. He can hear the seriousness of the matter from Sun Yifei's tone sex.
Sun Definition pointed to the monitoring screen: "Play it again."
The security guard opened a pop-up window and explained: "I was on duty just now, and suddenly all the screens went black, and then this video popped up."
The pop-up window was pitch black at first, and a few seconds later, a weird, laughing bird mask appeared on the screen without warning!
Ren Yi's heart trembled, could this mask be...
The camera backs up slowly and zooms in on the field of view. The man wearing a bird mask is a man in a black robe. He sits in a chair with bare feet. In the field of view of the camera, there is nothing but a person and a chair. of darkness.
The picture is very weird.
"Dr. Gong, Captain Ren, hello." The man spoke, his voice was changed to make it even more eerie.
Ren Yi just looked at the screen, his hairs were standing on end.
"I think you can guess who I am, but out of politeness, let me introduce myself." He said, "My name is Zi Yan, and I am the humble messenger and devout believer closest to the God of Light."
Purple Flame!
"I regret all the unpleasant experiences that happened before. We are all doing the same thing, we are all trying to save others, but in different ways. You may say that we are evil and criminals , this kind of view is narrow, and you will give up other people's lives in order to save others, such as Hongyan." The man said in an appreciative tone, "Hongyan has proved his loyalty and bravery, and he will always be loved by brothers and sisters." Remembrance."
Ren Yi clenched his fists.
"Have you ever thought about whether fire falling from the sky is a reward or a punishment for mankind? Fire allowed mankind to enter the farming era and opened the era of civilization, but fire also deprived countless lives and annihilated traces of civilization. In Greek mythology, Prome Hughes stole fire and came to the world, but the world has misunderstood his intentions. He is not a savior, he is just a missionary, because fire is the will of God. Fire has no distinction between good and evil, good and evil. It is similar to thunder, sunshine, Like the wind and the rain, everything that comes from the gods has no will, at least not in the way humans interpret it passionately. They just treat every plant, every tree, every person and every thing in the world fairly. So the water irrigates the farmland, but it also irrigates the village , So the fire scorched the grassland, nourished the soil, and when the spring breeze came, all things were revived. So all things reincarnated and lived endlessly."
Everyone was stunned.
The man continued in that very bewitching tone: "Gods do not come to the world, fire represents the will of the gods to come to the world, so rewards and punishments, prosperity and decline, life and death are all the way of heaven. Those who are enlightened by God will Treat fire in different ways to convey God’s will. Housewives use fire to cook food, hunters use fire to keep warm, rulers use fire to conquer cities, and scientists use fire to promote the progress of the times. You, the captain.” The man suddenly pointed to the camera.
Ren Yi stared at the screen stiffly.
"You fought wits and bravery with the fire, and rescued people and things trapped in the fire. And you, Dr. Gong, you watched your family members die in the sea of fire, and you wanted to find a way out from the siege of the fire all your life. And I, I use Fire purifies evil, allowing those sinful souls to be reborn from the fire. How interesting, there is an indissoluble fate between us, maybe this is also the guidance of the gods."
Ren Yi thought to himself, the brainwashing skills of this sect leader are really amazing. He said: "Captain Zhang, have you notified Captain Qiu?" The police involved in the security of civil activities are all civilian police, there are no criminal police, and this kind of thing is not something they can handle.
"Notified, Captain Qiu is coming."
Ren Yi thought to himself that Qiu Yan would definitely tell Gong Yingxian, so he stopped worrying about whether he should call Gong Yingxian.
The camera zoomed in again, and the bird mask was enlarged step by step until it filled the entire screen.
The man said slowly: "This kind of fate made you each other, let you and me have a connection eighteen years ago. Only God's will can explain all these coincidences. But even though I often admire the holy light of divinity, I haven't completely got rid of the shackles of human nature, so I used to avoid you instinctively, just like criminals avoiding the police, this is wrong, and it is even more wrong to oppose our relationship as justice and evil. It burned down the grassland, but it also fertilized the soil, leaving a large area of cultivated land. Before the fire burns out, who can say right or wrong. So, I decided to follow God's will and ignite this torch Huo, look at the bond between us and what kind of result it will lead to in the end."
Ren Yi frowned deeply, he had a very bad premonition about what this person would say next.
Suddenly, the door of the monitoring room was violently pushed open, and Ren Yi turned his head to look, and suddenly gasped for breath.
The person who came was Gong Yingxian. Although he knew that Gong Yingxian would appear soon, he thought he had adjusted his emotions and was ready to face it, but when Gong Yingxian stood in front of him, he found that he was not ready.
Gong Yingxian also saw him. The two eyes collided in the air.
Gong Yingxian's expression was complicated, he turned away his eyes, and Ren Yi also lowered his eyes in discomfort.
"Dr. Gong!" Captain Zhang said, "You came so fast."
"...I'm nearby."
At this time, a man's low laughter came from the screen: "The Honglin Gymnasium where you are at the moment is holding a New Year's Eve charity concert. I decided to give you a New Year's gift. Now please listen carefully."
Gong Yingxian followed the sound and looked at the screen, his expression suddenly changed. The familiar bird mask stabbed into his heart like a knife.
"It's an hour before the new year and I've planted six bombs in the stadium that will go off on the hour."
There were gasps in the house.
"You can find them before the countdown is over, but if you try to evacuate the crowd, I will detonate it early, if you stop the concert, I will detonate it early." The man smiled and said, "After all, I also want to be with the fans Listen to Song Juhan singing."
Sun Definition looked at Ren Yi with a pale face: "Team Ren, he, is he trying to scare us? We have checked all the venues."
"Whether you believe it or not, the consequences are at your own risk." The man spread his arms, "Go and save, heroic firefighters and police officers."
The video stopped abruptly here, only the bird mask was frozen in the center of the screen, and the black hole dug in the place of the eyes was bottomless.
Gong Yingxian, who only listened to the last paragraph, pointed at the screen and tremblingly said: "What's going on?!"
Ren Yi took a hasty look at Gong Yingxian: "Is that the mask?"
"… yes."
Zhang Zhongdao: "The security guard was on duty in the monitoring room, and then the system was hacked, and this video was played."
"Play it again." Gong Yingxian said.
When the video restarted, Ren Yi glanced at his watch. He rushed from the break room to the monitoring room. After watching the video, seven minutes had passed, and now they only had 53 minutes left to find the bomb.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of what Zi Yan said, because he had seen and experienced the madness and cruelty of this organization with his own eyes.
After watching the video, Gong Yingxian's face was almost bloodless: "Captain Zhang, how many people do you have now?"
"Fifteen."
"Captain Qiu will be here soon. She has brought equipment and bomb disposal experts, but Zi Yan is so confident that the bomb must not be easy to find. I need you to mobilize all your hands and collect all the surveillance videos inside and outside the venue in the past week. Watch it at full speed and pick out anything that doesn't feel right."
"it is good."
"Ren Yi, I need architectural design drawings."
"I've already brought it over." Sun Definition immediately handed the blueprint to Gong Yingxian.
The drawing is as thick as a blind, and it is impossible to read it in a short time.
Gong Yingxian hugged the blueprint, closed her eyes, and said silently in her heart: Calm down, calm down, calm down. Opening his eyes again, he said: "The venue is too big, so you can't find it if you search blindly. You must analyze his motives and intentions, and speculate where he might place the bomb."
"No matter where it is placed, there are more than 30,000 people in the stadium now, and casualties can cause a large number of casualties." Sun Yiyi said anxiously, "Let's quickly organize all available forces to conduct a blanket investigation."
Ren Yi shook his head: "It's too late, let alone the crowd can't be evacuated, in case he puts a bomb in the crowd."
Gong Yingxian also said: "It's too late, first of all, we need to eliminate the places where he can't place the bomb."
The security team leader said: "I don't think it is likely to be in a crowded place. The security check is very strict this time. Not only people and bags have to go through the machine, but also need to be unpacked for manual inspection. The stage and stand facilities are simple. The area has also been checked with metal detectors. In this case, it is almost impossible to bring the bomb in or place it in advance."
Gong Yingxian nodded: "The outdoor stage and grandstand area can be excluded."
Ren Yi asked the venue manager: "Mr. Li, are you familiar with the design of the venue? We can't see the design drawings. We need someone to help us find out which places are suitable for planting bombs and which places can be excluded. Circuits, heating, piping, Exhaust, everything."
Mr. Li said urgently: "I have just been transferred for two months, Lao Chen, you have been here all the time, you are more familiar with me, right?"
The security team leader said: "I am familiar with the venue, but I don't know the structure, the circuit, etc. I dare not say that I can help with such a big matter."
"Just do your best."
"Oh!" He slapped his head, "I think of someone, he must be more familiar than me."
"Who?"
"The engineer of the venue."
Gong Yingxian vetoed it flatly: "It's too late to call the engineer over now."
"He's in the venue. I saw him. His surname is He. We knew each other when the venue was under construction a few years ago. He came with that big star."
Ren Yi was stunned: "Could it be why?" He vaguely remembered the gossip news back then, and mentioned He Gu's occupation, which seemed to be an engineer.
"Yes, it's He Gong."
Gong Yingxian took the design drawing: "Go to him. Team Zhang, don't spread this matter, don't cause panic, Zi Yan must have some way to monitor us, wait for Team Qiu to come."
"it is good."
Ren Yi also ordered: "Sun Yifei, Liu Hui, you should notify the chief of staff immediately."
"yes."
Gong Yingxian and Ren Yi went out and went straight to Song Juhan's lounge.
Song Juhan's performance will start in the last forty minutes until the New Year's Eve, so he is probably still in the lounge right now.
The two of them were silent all the way until Gong Yingxian stopped at a fork in the road. He was not sure which direction it was.
"Left." Ren Yi whispered.
Gong Yingxian didn't move, his shoulders heaved violently.
Ren Yi knew how much the bird mask had affected Gong Yingxian, but now is not the time to indulge his emotions. He really wanted to comfort Gong Yingxian, not long ago, he had the position and qualification to comfort Gong Yingxian, now...
"Ying Xian, are you okay?"
Gong Yingxian shook his head: "You go first." He was already emotionally sensitive because of Ren Yi's incident, but he saw the mask in that childhood nightmare unpreparedly. When the mask appeared in Mengchen's memory, he tried desperately to see it clearly, but it was never clear enough. He was finally forced to see it just now, in a situation where he was neither psychologically prepared nor escorted by a psychological expert. Now, this kind of shock is very serious to him.
The hellish night associated with that mask, the blazing fire, the terrified countenance, the screams of pain, all flooded into his mind. With a shake of his figure, he quickly supported the wall with his hands.
Ren Yi was very worried, he didn't have time to think, he already pressed Gong Yingxian's shoulder reflexively: "Ying Xian, you..."
Gong Yingxian was taken aback. The heavy, gentle hand that fell on his shoulder suddenly became the outlet for all his negative emotions. He growled, "Don't touch me!" Then he opened Ren Yi's hand heavily.
Ren Yi stared at Gong Yingxian stiffly, his heart was stabbed fiercely, and his face was burning hot, he subconsciously raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender, and tremblingly said: "... I'm sorry."
He and Gong Yingxian returned to the original point, no, it was worse than the original point, because Gong Yingxian really hated himself now.
Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yi's gray eyes, and felt extremely uncomfortable. How much he wished that Ren Yi's open arms were to hug him, and how much he wished that he could accept it without hesitation. He shook his head, turned his head cruelly, and strode away.
Ren Yi resisted the sadness and unspeakable shame, and followed quickly.
