On the screen, the map is constantly changing.
It expands and shrinks, moves from one area to another, and from top to bottom, spans the entire hemisphere.
Gradually, the map stopped changing at a speed unrecognizable to the naked eye, it slowed down, and began to zoom in toward a fixed place.
Mountains towered, rivers loomed, and the outlines of human-inhabited cities began to emerge.
The person in front of the screen is no longer frantically typing on the keyboard. He leans on the back of the chair and presses his finger on the mouse button precisely. He is not looking at the map, but is observing the data flow on the right side of the screen, like the most seasoned hunter Wait for the prey to appear.
Suddenly, the gaze stopped, the map stopped, the data stopped, and a line of calculation results appeared.
"N (75°66"), E (23°11")"
Looking at the calculated coordinates, Chao Dynasty's calm and excited shouts could be heard clearly in the night sky.
…
Hongjing Municipal Bureau, Command Center.
Xing Conglian was not on the scene, not on the rooftop, not anywhere. He seemed to disappear from the world, but he did not leave the city.
He returned to the Interpol office, hung up the phone, turned on the light, turned on the computer, pulled out the seat and sat down.
The monitor lights up quickly, and the window images sprout up like mushrooms after a rain.
He looked at the screen and took out a pair of headphones from the desk stand.
On the cabinet is a pot of mint bought by Lin Chen, and the veins of the leaves are almost transparent under the lamp.
The dynasty's shouts came out immediately, mixed with high-level wind, and it sounded rumbling.
"Mailin is one of the places where it is impossible to search the telecommunications network," said Xing Conglian.
"It is impossible to seek intergovernmental cooperation," he added.
"Give me the exact location of the server and I'll take care of the rest."
…
thousands of kilometers away.
An ordinary van slowly drove out of a farm somewhere on the outskirts of Merlin.
The country roads were quiet, and the animals were asleep.
The truck driver is the poster child for eating too much junk food, with his cap down low and a big chunk of fried chicken grease on his chest T-shirt that makes him look like the most rustic farmer ever.
Except for this truck.
The body is sprayed with the words "CHICK'S Frozen Food Professional Delivery", and it looks like a professional refrigerated truck. Unless you open the inner layer of the truck's freezer, you will find that it is not a quick-frozen chicken chop but a living person.
People were silent, the interlayer of the compartment bounced open, and rows of cold weapon boxes popped out layer by layer.
Infrared sights, heat-sensing sights, individual battlefield radars, various pistols and micro-explosives filled the interlayer to the fullest, reflecting the white light of the closet, making it dark and cold.
"This time, somewhere in the city center, we will receive the specific action location within 15 minutes."
"Action time, 5 minutes."
"After 5 minutes, the Marlin police will receive an alert. After that, we will have 10 minutes to evacuate. Don't worry about this, someone will help me to hold the police high." The young commander in the carriage was chewing gum, Reach out and hold the wireless headset, passing commands.
"Brothers hurry up, if everything goes well, you can go back and hold your wife to sleep in the middle of the night."
"Boss, what if you don't have a wife?"
The commander carefully wrapped the chewing gum, stuffed it into his pocket, and said angrily, "Then do it yourself!"
Gentle laughter joined together.
The commander said solemnly: "This operation is about the safety of countless people, and we must be victorious!"
"Yes!" The uniform response was accompanied by radio waves, which oscillated in the line.
…
The second hand ticked past, and the interrogation room was unprecedentedly silent.
The atmosphere is like an extremely stretched string that will break at any time.
At this moment, Shen Lian is no longer the relaxed little girl she played before.
She was back to the ruthless killer, as calm and precise as when she was experimenting, as unhesitating as when she stabbed a knife into Stancom's heart, and like that person.
"Is that interesting?" she asked.
"Everyone has a different understanding of 'meaning'."
"It could have ended, and you're smart enough to push it back to square one."
"Of course some people will find it boring, but the opinions of those people are not important, people will understand each other, and that's enough."
"So why are you still sitting here now?" Shen Lian asked, "Even if there is a moral brake, then God must have forgotten to put one in my mind."
"I'm waiting for you." Lin Chen said.
…
The APC building is five kilometers southwest of the red light district in the city of Malin.
Judging from the registration information, APC is not a server hosting company or a telecommunications service company, but a real estate company in Merlin.
But this year, which company doesn't do some illegal business to make extra money
At three in the morning, even the thieves and robbers were asleep, and the streets were empty.
The fried chicken company vehicle, which was delivering ingredients for the morning shift, ran over a white garbage bag and stopped at the alley next to the fast food restaurant opposite the building.
The old homeless man by the trash can was woken up by the sound of the car's engine, but he didn't feel any threat. He rolled over and went back to sleep.
The sound of the electric current was completely isolated in the compartment, and there were more than half of the people in the freezer.
The four walls of the carriage returned to their previous smoothness.
Only the former commander and information technology specialist was still in the car.
He cut off the monitoring system of the other party's building and replaced it with a repetitive screen.
Thousands of miles away.
The green line outlines the three-dimensional view of the APC building, and the thermal sensation through the wall outlines the red outline of all objects over 32 degrees Celsius in the building.
Lights, guards, and server locations are all there...
Xing Conglian leaned back on the chair and had a panoramic view of the entire building.
Suddenly a clear report sounded from the earphones. He leaned forward and said lightly, "The target location, the 18th floor of the APC Building."
"Group A broke into the top floor of the APC building from the 25th floor of the Hill Hotel. Group B controls the sniper position, and Group C is responsible for vigilance. The operation will start after 30 seconds. I wish everyone good luck."
…
Downtown Merlin.
The old tramp by the trash can felt as if he had a dream.
The dream began with a gust of wind.
Two big black birds with their wings spread out, leaping down from the rooftop of the hotel.
The Hill Hotel is known for its spooky murders, and everything that has to do with darkness is extremely commensurate with it.
The wings are adjusted with the wind, the night is the most perfect invisibility cloak, and the wind brings the breath of death.
The guards on the top of the APC building did not immediately notice the abnormality in the night behind them, but even if they did, it would be of no avail.
After all, they've been locked onto the infrared sights of the 25-story building, and the reason they're still breathing fresh air is that they still have value.
…
"What are you waiting for?" Shen Lian asked calmly in Hongjing Detention Center.
"It's been a day and a night, Shen Lian." Lin Chen said wearily.
Behind him, the same day and night television is still playing the news, but the volume has been turned down so much that it sounds like a snake hissing.
The voting results of the dark web in the picture.
More than 89 percent of the people rejected the proposal to execute the criminal to end the incident, and the will of the dark world is obviously more unified.
But they are obviously not out of value judgments for the sake of others, they just feel that such a few human lives are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Some gold owners even said in bold words that if this was the case, they would spend their own money to buy other fun.
These speeches are encrypted, collected in high-altitude hosting servers, and widely disseminated in the underground world.
In the above world, they add up to make the interrogation room even more eerie.
"I haven't been touched by your chicken soup day and night, have I?"
"No." Lin Chen shook his head, "You are convinced that 'self-interest' and 'altruistic' are irreconcilable. In fact, I am not prepared to impress you."
"Then why are you still talking nonsense with me here?"
"I have two purposes." Lin Chen stretched out a finger, "First, to prove to you and him that tens of thousands of years of evolution have changed the structure of the human brain to some extent, what you think of as 'on the wire' Balance' will never come."
Shen Lian remained absolutely cold: "Second, consultant Lin?"
…
"No. 23, report the situation on the roof." A series of murmurs came from the dead guard's walkie-talkie.
The wings fell to the ground, and the color of the brain plasma and blood mixed the cement floor in a mess.
The visitor put away the glider, bypassed the pool of blood, picked up the walkie-talkie, and stuck a microchip behind the walkie-talkie.
In the truck at the bottom of the building, the communication support officer who has been collecting the intercom information of the entire building immediately introduced a voice.
Merlin sounded again on the walkie-talkie, indicating that everything was fine, and the other side made a joke easily.
On the roof, a young man in the uniform of a fried chicken company fastened the intercom to his waist, unlocked the roof, and walked downstairs.
Inside the building is intricate.
His teammates chose a safe corner and began to deploy individual battlefield radars.
The young man remained calm and continued to move forward.
"After 10 meters, two o'clock."
Clear instructions came from the headset.
The young man's pace did not decrease, he clenched the pistol, confirmed the silencer, and pulled the safety.
…
"Second, I want to know where your bottom line is." Lin Chen said.
Shen Lian blinked: "I don't understand."
"The long 30 hours tells me that you're alive not because I gave you the steps down or you particularly want to know the outcome, but because of something else."
"What's the reason?" Shen Lian smiled faintly.
"It's like I'm enduring you because I have something I want from you." Lin Chen paused and said, "You too."
…
The blood hole in the forehead burst open.
The guards in the corridor didn't have time to respond and fell down softly.
The young man took advantage of the situation to support the opponent's corpse and gently put it down.
"Watch out for the laser blocker."
A calm and orderly command sound came from the headset, the young man raised his head, and the red laser loomed above.
The teammates who came from the other road turned the corner, and as they had practiced thousands of times, the person who came crouched down so that he could step on his shoulders and go up.
The two prism reflectors were carefully placed, and the vents were immediately clean.
The young man made a downward gesture, and then kicked his feet and got into it.
…
"If I have something I want but haven't got yet, is there still room for negotiation?" Shen Lian asked quietly.
Lin Chen nodded: "Since you are not reconciled, and I am not reconciled, then we can exchange something."
Shen Lian thought this was a bit incredible: "So you waited so long just to confirm that I'm still very unwilling?"
"You were unwilling to commit suicide in Zhou Rui Building that day, so after the vote today is a complete defeat, you will not be willing to die like this here. My chance of impressing you will become greater because of this." Lin Chen said sincerely, "You You know, for me now, increasing the probability of success by 1% is precious."
Shen Lian didn't ask any more questions. At that moment, she leaned back in her chair, as if acquiescing.
"What else do you have that you can't let go, Shen Lian?" Lin Chen asked seriously, "It's this time, you know that any request you make will usually be granted." He said calmly, "However, when you make a request Before, it's better to prove your worth first."
When Lin Chen said this, he gently pushed the pen and paper on the table to Shen Lian.
…
The vents were dark and cold, and dust had accumulated.
The young man crawling in it was like a nocturnal creature, making no sound.
Before long, the rumbling of a large number of servers has come through the ventilation ducts.
When arriving at a certain point, a precise command came out from the headset again: "There are still three meters to the exit, pay attention, there is a patrol post below."
The young man looked forward and down, penetrating the red laser light covering the vent, a star-like server spot.
In the dark night, those twinkling lights are like stars.
…
Without any hesitation.
Shen Lian glanced at the blue pencil and white paper in front of her eyes, picked up the pen, and wrote the first character on the paper.
…
APC Building.
The two guards were brought down one after another.
The four-man team swooped down from different vents, and in front of them were countless server equipment.
The young man in the front pushed down the goggles and whistled silently: "It's bigger than I thought."
A calm voice came from the headset: "Connect, Dynasty will find the correct server location."
The young man waved his hand back, and the four of them split up.
After a while, the young man walked to a cabinet, put down his backpack, took out the notebook, pulled a long cable from the cabinet, and connected it to the notebook.
With a light beep, the laptop screen lights up, an empty progress bar is displayed on it, and it begins to walk slowly forward.
"Two minutes left."
…
Not long after, Shen Lian has left an array of chemical formulas on the white paper.
The woman, still holding the pencil, taps the white paper and pushes it back.
Lin Chen took out his mobile phone, nodded to Shen Lian, and then the flash light went off, and the photo was sent to the laboratory where the drug was being tackled.
…
The window facing the Hill Hotel has been opened, and another person is standing at the window, the signal light flashes twice in his hand, and he makes a gesture.
Two seconds later, the steel claw was connected to the steel cable, and flew from the opposite side, firmly grasping the window frame.
There was silence inside and outside the building, the rows of servers shimmered like stars like the sea, and the young man stared at the screen with a strangely serious expression.
Two minutes later, the progress bar came to the end, and the screen immediately changed.
The massive data swiped across the screen like a waterfall, and for a time, the light of the "stars" flashed faster.
As if by magic, the data kept changing, and a plane structure diagram began to appear on the screen, and the whole picture of the entire computer room was completely outlined.
Forty seconds later, there was another beep, and a red light began to glow from a certain point in the upper right corner of the screen.
The young man saw the position of the red light clearly, and walked straight away with the other two without hesitation.
Thirty seconds later, the siren rang throughout the building, and between the APC Building and the Hill Hotel, four black shadows carrying huge packages passed by.
…
At this moment, some places will not wake up, and some places are still bathed in the atmosphere of drunken gold and wine.
In the red light district of Merlin, prostitutes are still scratching their heads in the window, and some government officials are enjoying special "business exchange" services in high-end clubs.
The gilt iron door is tightly closed, and the fragrant scene can be vaguely revealed in the stained glass.
At this moment, a plainly dressed Merlin man came from the end of the aisle and stood in front of the guard who was worried.
"I want to see the Director," the ordinary Merlin said.
The lewd sound of male and female love still rang out in the high-end box, and the security staff at the door was once again made uncomfortable by the sound.
However, only the people in the box know what it means to be uncomfortable.
A simple silenced pistol stretched out from the darkness, firmly pressing against the forehead of a pampered and distinguished person.
No man can maintain his energy under this threat, he has completely softened, but the woman on him is still up and down.
Both men and women were covered in sweat, and their faces showed a look of despair that they could not hold on.
Just then, the phone in the corner rang.
"Please answer the phone and tell the people at APC that they should not disturb the police chief's sleep at night because of trivial matters, okay?"
The ordinary Merlin standing in the dark said softly with a smile.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Lin Chen sat opposite Shen Lian.
The excitement in the laboratory contrasted sharply with the calm in the interrogation room.
Lin Chen put the phone on the table to make sure that Shen Lian could also see it.
During about half an hour, the two of them didn't say a word, and the time was long enough for the refrigerated truck in the foreign country to drive to safety.
At a certain moment after that, the mobile phone screen on the desktop suddenly lit up.
-confirm. Key parts are missing.
Reply is very short.
Lin Chen stared at the screen: "what do you want?"
Shen Lian asked casually, "Duan Wanshan is dead, right?"
This is an ordinary question, but Lin Chen froze all over, and suddenly looked up at Shen Lian.
There was a look in the woman's eyes.
Without any stagnation, she grabbed the blue pencil on the table, stabbed it into her mouth, then raised her head heavily, and slammed it against the table!
After one time, extremely decisive, it was again.
A huge crash sounded in the cell, and red blood splashed in front of Lin Chen. At that moment, he clearly heard the sound of something shattering.
