Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 222
Chapter 222: Chapter 220, entering the research institute again
It was late at night,
two people were sitting on a park bench behind the police station,
one side was a man,
the other side was also a man.
Zhang Yanfeng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Ze. Then, he took a bite out of it himself.
They had been sitting like this for a long time.
Not far away, stood the old priest and Tang Shi.
“Dawdling.”
Tang Shi was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Ze’s sloppy style of doing things. According to her habit, she would just knock the policeman out and it would be fine.
“Old Zhang, trust me this time. The safest way is for me to go down and take a look first. Even if the experts come tomorrow, the effect will be better than when I go down.”
Zhang Yanfeng was silent, only silently blowing out smoke rings.
“I don’t have to lie to you, really.”
“Down there is the bacteria research room of the Japanese Army. Can you be sure that going down without permission will not cause the leakage of harmful gases?”Zhang Yanfeng said in a deep voice, “Do you know how many people live in this area?”
“I can tell you clearly that if the worst case scenario is down there, once things get corrupted, the damage will be even greater than the leakage of poisonous gases.”
Thinking about that broken body, he could not even control himself in the end. If the results were to reach the point where he woke up, the consequences would be too terrible.
“You can knock me out.”
Zhang Yanfeng threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.
“What?”Zhou Ze was stunned.
“I have been waiting for you to knock me out. Of course, I will resist because it is my duty, but I believe that a person like you… has the ability to knock me out under the premise that I resist. At that time, I Can’t stop you from doing whatever you want to do.”
“Why are you so stubborn?”Zhou ze said somewhat helplessly.
“The one who’s stubborn isn’t me, it’s you.”
Zhang Yanfeng pointed at Tang Shi and the old priest who were still waiting under the street lamp in front of them and said,
“That girl has killed people, Right?”
Zhou Ze didn’t answer.
“I knew it from the first time I saw her. Hehe, I was a soldier before and later became a criminal police officer. I’ve been in this line of work for many years and have seen many vicious people.
“I could tell from the look in that girl’s eyes that she had killed people before. Moreover, she didn’t take human lives seriously at all.
“If I didn’t believe you, I could have called for people to surround her at the police station and then do an identity investigation on her.”
Zhou ze smiled. “We wouldn’t be able to find out.”
Zhang Yanfeng looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.
“There are many things in this world that can’t be found out through investigation. Really, even when you arrested me back then, you didn’t find anything out from me, right?
“But I can tell you clearly that in this year, I’ve sent countless people to Hell.”
“Then why are you still willing to sit here with me for so long?”Zhang Yanfeng asked curiously.
The relationship between the two of them had been changing. At first, Zhou Ze was a suspect and Zhang Yanfeng was a police officer. Then, the two of them were “Cellmates”. Now, the two of them were more like friends in two circles who admired each other.
“First, it’s not even the second half of the night. It’s still early.
“Second, I think you’re a good police officer. I’m willing to waste some time on you
“Should I feel honored for this?”
Zhou Ze stood up, and Zhang Yanfeng was also forced to stand up together,
“I believe that there are still many good people in this world. I’ve seen a few good cops in the past. They’re the kind of good cops who really follow the rules. I respect them, so I respect you now.
“So, I hope you won’t be pedantic this time. You can go down with me. You have an iron chain on your feet. If nothing goes wrong, one of your ancestors’relatives might have died there
“I’ve done my research. I have a second grandfather. It’s said that he joined the army during the anti-japanese war, but there was no news of him after that. My family couldn’t find out anything.”
“Come down with me.”
Zhou Ze invited.
Zhang Yanfeng took out a gun,
he pointed it at Zhou Ze’s back,
“I don’t know your identity. To be honest, I’m afraid to find out. You may think that my behavior is pedantic and stubborn, but I’m sorry. My previous life and work experience tell me that sometimes, I really have to be stubborn and persevere. I Can’t take a step back.”
“Well, I respect your…”
“Bang!”
It wasn’t a gunshot,
instead, a rock hit Zhang Yanfeng’s neck,
zhang Yanfeng fainted on the bench.
Tang Shi walked over with an obvious impatience on her face,
“He asked you to knock him out. Why are you still talking nonsense?
“Should I prepare some tea for the two of you and record it on a DV so that the positive conversation between the two of you can continue to spread?”
Zhou ze stretched out his fingernails and easily cut off the handcuffs. He sighed and said, “It doesn’t make sense to you. Other than the Big White Rabbit Milk Candy, what else can you keep in your mind?”
Tang Shi’s gaze focused, as if she was about to flare up, but in the end, she restrained herself. She turned around and walked directly to the construction site.
The old priest chuckled at the side. He thought to himself that ever since his boss met Wushuang, when he saw Tang Shi again, he had straightened his back, including when he treated the Little Loli.
Sure enough, a man who was rich would not turn bad, but a sow would turn into a monster.
The three of them arrived at the construction site together. The area had been sealed off, but it was obvious that they could not stop them.
“Which location?”Tang Shi asked coldly.
“Right here. Just dig down. Be careful not to make too much noise.”Zhou ze pointed at his feet.
Very soon..,
the stones and wood under his feet began to float up by themselves and were quietly piled aside. With the foundation of digging during the day, what came next was actually very convenient. Moreover, Tang Shi’s “Work efficiency”was really not slower than large-scale machinery.
Boss Zhou had previously thought that if he were to form a construction company, the profits would be very substantial. The powerful and endless Bai Yingying would work as a laborer, and with Tang Shi acting as a construction machinery, one would not need to eat, and the other would not need to consume electricity, basically, there was no cost, but it was all profit.
After a while, the passage for one person to go down was cleared. Zhou Ze was the first to go down, Tang Shi was the second, and the old priest was the third.
There was no poisonous smell down there. There was a musty smell.
He went down the stairs,
he took out his cell phone as a flashlight,
the view in front was still quite clear.
The old priest walked at the back. He felt that the soles of his shoes were a little sticky. He muttered, “What’s that on the ground?”
“Blood,”Tang Shi answered.
“Hiss…”
The old priest didn’t dare to say anything more. He followed closely behind the two big bosses in front of him.
He pushed open an iron door that had long been corroded and rusted beyond recognition. What entered his eyes was a very familiar prison corridor. On both sides were prison cells.
Zhou ze still remembered the scene in his dream when he walked past the prison with his anklet on. The people in the nearby cells all looked at him with envy.
When he walked past the prison again, he took out a flashlight and looked inside. Everywhere he looked, there were dried corpses.
After the Japanese blew up the entrance, they probably did not plan to reopen it. Later, perhaps because of the war or other reasons, or because of the defeat of the Japanese, this place was forgotten.
The people who were originally imprisoned in the prison cell were trapped here and died.
“They didn’t starve to death.”
At this time, Tang Shi used her telekinesis to break two railings. She even squatted down to examine a corpse and said,
“There should have been a lot of dust when the tunnel was blown up. These people all died from asphyxiation, not because you didn’t save them back then.”
“Thank you.”
Zhou Ze took a deep breath,
“I take back what I said before about the white rabbit milk candy.”
“What About You? Where are you?”Tang Shi asked. “The body you’re talking about.”
Zhou ze pointed ahead.
“Don’t delay. We have to pay our respects tomorrow.”
As she said that, Tang Shi took the initiative to walk forward,
after passing through a tunnel ahead, the front was immediately clear because they had entered the laboratory area.
Tang Shi stopped in her tracks. The old priest followed her and stopped as well. Then, the old priest covered his mouth and bent down. His body kept twitching, and it was obvious that he could not help but retch.
Zhou Ze was the last to walk over. The scene in front of him did not surprise him much. After all, in his dream, he had personally experienced the most vivid real-time scenes.
And now..,
in the laboratory area, there were all kinds of people who had died tragically, all kinds of inhuman deaths, all kinds of exaggerated and explosive scenes of art. Because 80 years had passed, they were stained with the dust of time, they were no longer as vivid and shocking as before.
Of course..,
for people who had never seen the original version..,
this scene..,
was enough to be called a living hell.
“The people who died here were mostly Japanese soldiers and researchers. They deserved to die,”Zhou Ze explained.
“That’s true, but boss, this scene is too forbidden. I really can’t take it.”
The old priest wiped the corner of his mouth, his face turning pale.
“Clean up your own vomit on the ground. Don’t let the Expert Group come down tomorrow to take your specimen back for research,”Zhou Ze reminded.
After that, Zhou Ze looked at Tang Shi next to him and asked,
“Are you okay?”
Tang Shi shook her head.
Zhou Ze was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, her psychological endurance was higher than that of an experienced priest.
When Zhou Ze took two more steps forward and saw Tang Shi’s face, he found that she was actually smiling. Her face also revealed an excited and appreciative look.
“UH…”
Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze and said,
“It’s hard to imagine that the you in the past had such high taste and style. The images here, the corpses here, and the death scene here, including the image piled up with fresh blood..,
it’s really..,
very Beautiful.”
“…”the old man said.
“…”Zhou Ze.
“Kacha…”
A clear and crisp sound suddenly came from the depths of the laboratory,
zhou Ze’s gaze suddenly turned towards that location,
that laboratory,
if he remembered correctly,
it was the area where the safe was placed!
Tang Shi licked her lips. She appeared a little nervous, but she could not hide her excitement. She slowly said,
“Look,
he also agreed with what I said.”
