Chapter 79 Y-01 Containment Room
Chapter 79 Y-01 Containment Room
Upon boarding the command vehicle, Li Jiuhe immediately spotted Liu Qian, the leader of the second group, sitting in the driver's seat with both hands on the steering wheel, turning her head to look at him.
"Group Leader Liu." He nodded to Liu Qian.
Liu Qian began, "This trip might be very dangerous, and more importantly, neither your team leader nor I can bear the consequences. Have you thought it through?"
Li Jiuhe didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.
The command vehicle quickly headed out of Wangchuan City.
Li Jiuhe's residential area is not in the city center. After driving along the road for more than ten minutes, he arrived at the edge of the city.
Liu Qian was very familiar with the roads here. After driving on the main road in the suburbs for a while, the command vehicle turned onto a rural road.
Although the rural road is not as good as the city avenue, it is still quite wide. Since it was late at night, we didn't see any other vehicles along the way.
The people in the car stopped talking.
Chen Zhenghai had initially thought Li Jiuhe had other questions to ask, and he waited patiently, but seeing that Li Jiuhe remained silent, he closed his eyes to rest.
The command vehicle was spacious, with computers and monitoring equipment placed on the left. Li Jiuhe sat in a position a little further back.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Zhenghai and Liu Qian, who was driving.
These two team leaders must be exactly one hundred years old combined. I never imagined that their impulsiveness would leave most young people far behind.
After thinking it over carefully, Li Jiuhe suddenly realized that they were not impulsive; it would be more accurate to say they were persistent.
After getting to know him over the past few days, he could tell that Chen Zhenghai was a very upright person with an almost fanatical obsession: to be loyal to his duty as an investigator and to bring all those who threaten ordinary humans to justice.
He mentioned "good will never prevail over evil" to Li Jiuhe more than once.
Li Jiuhe had only ever seen people like this in TV dramas before; he never expected to see them in real life, and even two at once.
Liu Qian is sometimes rude and unforgiving in her work, but as Chen Zhenghai said, they are essentially the same kind of people, just with different ways of expressing themselves.
But tonight, their shared goal made them forget the consequences of their actions.
Even though they had a vague feeling that none of the people in the car could bear the consequences of uncovering the truth.
Li Jiuhe's initial idea of joining the Investigation Bureau was simple: he mainly wanted to use the Bureau's power and resources to find out where his daughter was and the reason behind the whole incident.
But at this moment, the actions of these two team leaders deeply touched him, giving him a different and more profound understanding of the word "investigator".
Before long he noticed that the road outside had become narrower, as if the command vehicle had entered a village road.
Let alone two-way traffic, Li Jiuhe felt that if he turned the steering wheel even slightly to one side, the car might veer off the edge of the field.
But the car's speed hardly decreased, indicating that Liu Qian was very familiar with the roads here.
Five or six minutes later, the view suddenly opened up, and the command vehicle entered a wide open space.
Ahead lay lush lawns, groves of trees, and clusters of flowerbeds, and the road became much wider.
However, at almost the same moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from inside the command vehicle.
Liu Qian stopped the car, and the screen on the center console seemed to sense the signal requesting a connection, and it slowly rose up.
Then the screen showed the upper body of a man, who was fully armed, with even his head covered by a helmet and mask, and holding a semi-automatic submachine gun in his hands.
"The command vehicle of Investigation Team One of the Wangchuan City Investigation Bureau has arrived so late. What's the matter?"
The man's tone was calm and cold, giving off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.
If they hadn't automatically detected that Liu Qian's command vehicle was certified by the shelter, they would have killed the people inside just now.
Of course, this is on the premise that they also simultaneously detect that the person is a sequencer; if it is an ordinary person, they will simply drive them away first.
Liu Qian was prepared. She took out a piece of paper and opened it. It was covered with dense writing, and their group's stamp was stamped in the lower right corner.
Unfold this document and place it near the camera above the video feed.
"This is a letter from our Wangchuan City Investigation Bureau. There is an urgent case that requires a temporary investigation of a detained Sequencer."
The armed man remained silent for a moment, and the next second, a row of streetlights suddenly lit up the road in front of the command vehicle, illuminating the entire road ahead. In the far distance, a metal gate slowly opened upwards.
The man in the video has disappeared.
Liu Qian put away the work letter, glanced back at Chen Zhenghai and Li Jiuhe, and drove the command vehicle forward at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
After passing through the metal gate, they drove into a spacious ground-level parking lot. After stopping, the car door opened, and Liu Qian and Chen Zhenghai walked in front, followed by Li Jiuhe, and the three of them headed towards a low office building.
Chen Zhenghai lagged a few steps behind and asked Li Jiuhe in a low voice, "Have you set up your mission?"
"It's set up." Li Jiuhe nodded.
Chen Zhenghai said, "I can detect and lock onto any substance that resembles mental energy, and Liu Qian can make the target hallucinate. This trick of hers is very effective during interrogation. As for your ability, I have already told her. If anything happens later, remember to cooperate well. But I estimate that the probability is very low, because that guy is completely under the control of the containment facility."
"Okay." Li Jiuhe's heart was already racing.
After the group entered the office building, Liu Qian was the only one negotiating with the staff at the shelter, and Chen Zhenghai did not step forward during this time.
After all, Liu Qian comes here every few days and is very familiar with the procedures.
Before long, two fully armed men, just like the ones from before, appeared ahead and led the way without turning their heads.
Another staff member said to Liu Qian, "Although you've been here many times, I still need to make the rules clear to you. Just follow them, and remember you can only go to the Y-01 containment room. If you go the wrong way or to another containment room, the consequences will be severe."
"Understood, thank you." Liu Qian nodded.
The three followed the two armed security personnel ahead of them.
Liu Qian took two steps back and whispered to Chen Zhenghai and Li Jiuhe, "I took the opportunity to look at the records in this office. The guy locked in room Y-01 is called Si Mingyu. His sequence ability is 'Order Correction,' but there's a parenthesis that says 'Mutation.'"
"A mutated order restorer?!" Chen Zhenghai was somewhat surprised.
Li Jiuhe recalled that when they were capturing Nightmare Beings, Chen Zhenghai had told him that Order Correctors were a very special type of Sequence Being.
They will periodically revise the world order, change perceptions of the world, and maintain world rules.
However, the Order Restorer they were about to meet, who was suspected to be the mastermind behind it all, was labeled with the word "mutant"!
Chen Zhenghai quickly explained to Li Jiuhe, "I told you this last time, but there's something else you might not know. So far, all the Order Restorers discovered have been in a vegetative state, meaning their bodies are paralyzed, but their brains possess extremely strong vitality. But I've never seen a mutated Order Restorer either."
