Doomsday Begins with a Nightmare

Chapter 568 Who Is No. 1?

The director is worthy of being a director. He has considered the issue very comprehensively. If he says he is the one who tipped off the information, he may not be a fake person.

It's also possible that normal people and weird things are colluding.

This is indeed possible.

Before the goal is determined, any guess is acceptable.

In addition, the director acted vigorously and resolutely, and was not sloppy at all.

Let's just say that the investigation of the informant was immediately put on the agenda, and it was the highest priority. The investigation started now, immediately.

Of course, to do such a professional thing, you need the assistance of professional talents.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. . .

They were the personnel brought in by the director to assist in the investigation.

There were two people in total, a man and a woman. They were the backbone of the Investigation Section of the General Administration, and they specialized in helping Lin Mo.

Lin Mo glanced at the two men and nodded towards the director.

It means there is nothing wrong with these two people.

The investigation begins in this office, which is the safest and most secretive place.

The two newly joined people, the male is Gong Shu, he saluted Lin Mo and others when he came in; the female is Wang Zhen, she is a technical geek, wearing black-rimmed glasses, silent, but she is the youngest in the general bureau. One of the Ph.D.

After sorting it out, a list was made.

The above are all lists of people who may know about the General Administration's actions against Branch 4 after Lin Mo's report. There must be more than fifty people, including commandos and members of the expert team.

There are also superior leaders here, not many in number, less than ten. This is the list except the director and Professor Xie.

And there are many of them that have passed Lin Mo's identification before.

But according to the director's intention, even if it is proved through identification that he is not a dummy, the suspicion cannot be ruled out.

"The collusion between a living person and a dummy is more serious."

After all, the dummy has obvious markings, and Lin Mo can tell it apart. If it is a normal person, he can't tell the difference.

Investigating living people is the job of Gong Shu and Wang Zhen. Lin Mo must first ensure that all the people on the list are actually seen, at least to eliminate possible dummies among them.

"Let's check them one by one. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Lin." The director patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.

Lin Mo said that the leader was so trusting that he would not work hard and would ensure the completion of the task.

At this time, Lin Mo's cell phone rang.

I picked it up and looked at it. I didn't recognize the number. After I connected it, the voice inside sounded familiar.

"Expert Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm calling you to say thank you. It's all thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, my sister would be dead this time. I'll treat you to dinner another day." This is the call from the person in charge of the detention center of.

The other party's sister is one of the survivors in the 4th Precinct incident, Liang Bingbing.

"By the way, my sister said she has very important information to report to you." The other party added, presumably this matter was the focus of the call.

Soon, there was a female voice on the other end of the phone.

"Expert Lin?" Lin Mo had also heard this female voice.

Lin Mo said it was me.

Liang Bingbing on the other end of the phone was very happy. She wanted to meet and thank her in person.

Lin Mo said no need, it was all his responsibilities, no need to be polite.

Liang Bingbing hesitated for a long time, and then Lin Mo asked if you had anything to say.

Liang Bingbing said yes.

She was also arranged to keep a record after she was rescued, but she said she was afraid that other departments and systems would also have those "weird" things, so she didn't tell them all.

"Expert Lin, I only believe in you." Liang Bingbing said firmly.

Since the other party has some other clues, of course Lin Mo has to meet him.

Now Liang Bingbing is a sham, no one believes it.

I didn’t dare to go to the headquarters and said I wanted to meet outside.

Lin Mo asked the director for permission, and after getting permission, he went out to see Liang Bingbing.

Lin Mo saw each other at a roadside fast food restaurant in Qianlong City.

Liang Bingbing changed into casual clothes, put on a hat and sunglasses, and looked around while walking. It was obvious that she was very nervous.

She was followed by her brother.

Seeing Lin Mo, he quickly said hello.

The three of them sat down. Liang Bingbing and her brother asked me to buy whatever you want to drink.

Liang Bingbing shook her head.

Lin Mo said there is no sugar added to the coffee.

This time only Lin Mo and Liang Bingbing were left.

Lin Mo saw that the other party was so nervous, so he said it's okay, don't be too nervous, just relax.

"I'm sorry, Expert Lin, I, I always feel that there are people around them. You don't know, they are just like normal people and can't be distinguished at all. When you think everything is normal, they will suddenly show up at you. Ferocious." Liang Bingbing said this with a rich expression and dancing.

"Don't worry, there aren't too many of those things. You can't encounter them everywhere you go."

Lin Mo's words still apply now.

But if Bronze Gate No. 7 continues to be opened, or other Bronze Gates are also opened, it’s hard to say what weird things will happen.

Anyway, there is no worst, only worse.

Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing to get down to business.

Liang Bingbing nodded and began to tell the whole story of what she saw and heard. It was obvious that she was frightened and in a state of excitement, and her words were inevitably a little wordy.

Mainly because he was afraid that Lin Mo wouldn't understand.

But the regulations throughout the description are quite clear.

Halfway through the story, her brother came back with coffee. After putting it on the table, he said he would have a cigarette at the door, but then avoided it.

Obviously, he also knew that he could not listen to this kind of conversation, and it was better not to listen.

"You asked me to give them the phone at that time, and I gave it to Director Liu, who is the director of our 4th branch, and then someone took me to the office next to the conference room. There was only a wooden board between this office and the conference room. , not soundproof…”

At this point, Lin Mo was obviously interested.

He also knew that the real critical point occurred three minutes after his phone was hung up.

Because three minutes later, he reached the 4th precinct.

The dummy over there abandoned his body and escaped within these three minutes.

Liang Bingbing continued to tell.

"I heard them discussing what to do next, whether they were exposed, etc. At that time, I was completely sure that they were not living people, but some kind of monsters."

"Soon, I heard Liu Hengqiang seemed to answer a phone call."

"What did he say when he answered the phone?" Lin Mo knew that this call was the key.

"I didn't hear the details clearly, but I heard his last words, thank you No. 1!"

Thank you No. 1?

Lin Mo frowned.

number 1.

This is obviously not a normal name, but a code name.

Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing to continue speaking. She said that after answering the phone, the conference room was eerily quiet. She seemed to hear someone whispering softly, but she could not hear clearly at all.

After that, some weird sounds were heard.

"Later I found out that Liu Hengqiang killed all the monsters with sharp weapons and committed suicide, but I knew that they were just trying to escape and they would come back again."

Liang Bingbing finished speaking.

Lin Mo nodded and began to think in his mind.

No matter who this No. 1 is, the news must have been leaked by the other party.

What can be done now is to investigate Liu Hengqiang's mobile phone first. The communication operator has the call records of the other party, and at least they can know which number called him.

Investigation into this matter has actually begun.

Investigate communications records, a step stipulated in the charter.

However, Lin Mo still called Gong Shu and Wang Zhen and asked them to investigate this first.

In less than two minutes, the call came back.

"It was found out that the last call made to Liu Hengqiang was Han Feng from the expert team of the General Administration, and the call was made from his mobile phone."

Lin Mo was stunned when he heard the news.

Found the traitor?

So fast?

The reason for this idea is that the other party's identity meets the conditions of a traitor. Han Feng and Lin Mo remember that this Han Feng seems to be one of the members of the combat team participating in this operation. In other words, the other party has the conditions to know in advance that this is targeting the 4th Branch. action.

In addition, the identity of the other party also echoed. A traitor hidden in the headquarters has just surfaced?

Lin Mo's first feeling was not happiness, but surprise.

It feels too easy.

It's a bit unreal.

Moreover, Lin Mo had confirmed at that time that there were no dummies among the personnel participating in the operation. He would not be wrong about this. He could tell the mental fluctuations of the dummies.

"Does that mean that ordinary humans and dummies made a deal?"

Lin Mo speculated at this moment.

Gong Shu and Wang Zhen have already reported the progress, and it is estimated that the director has already started making arrangements to arrest people.

Maybe, people are now under control.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing if she had any other clues.

The latter shook his head.

"Expert Lin, tell me, have those things penetrated into us?" Liang Bingbing was acting like a snake, so Lin Mo advised her and told her not to think too much.

"I told you, there aren't many of those weird things. If you encounter them once, it's almost like winning a grand prize. I want to encounter them a second time. It's so beautiful for you."

Liang Bingbing was also amused by Lin Mo.

"Thank you, Expert Lin. If there is nothing else, I will go back."

"Go ahead, I'm leaving too."

Lin Mo drank the coffee in one gulp, got up and went out with Liang Bingbing.

The guy at the door was still waiting, and he hurried forward when he saw Lin Mo coming out.

"Okay, I've asked all the questions I need to ask, go back, it's okay."

Waving, Lin Mo got into the car.

He received another call in the car, from Wang Zhen. Her position is a logistics support staff, responsible for maintaining communications, contacting all parties, and collecting and analyzing data from all parties.

"Team Leader Lin, the latest news is that Han Feng is missing!"

"Run away?" Lin Mo parked the car on the side of the road.

"So far, it looks like this. He can't be found at work or at home. The other party on the phone is left in the office, but he can't be found. Now Gong Shu is retrieving surveillance videos to see if he can find any clues."

Arresting people is a technical job.

Lin Mo is not good at this, so he can just leave it to Gong Shu and Wang Zhen.

After he hung up the phone, he thought about it and roughly deduced a possibility.

"It should be that my action against Branch 4 was sudden and caught them off guard. At that time, Han Feng, the traitor, had no time to notify us by other means, so he chose to sacrifice himself and let the dummies from Branch 4 escape first."

This is Lin Mo’s inference.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, exchanging one traitor for nearly thirty dummies is a very cost-effective deal. Moreover, these dummies are integrated with human memories and will be more destructive in the future.

When Lin Mo rushed back to the headquarters, he went directly to the director.

The director said he hasn't been found yet.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we know who did it, it will only be a matter of time before we catch the person." The director's voice was calm, with the air of a big leader.

It can be seen that the director is very concerned about the dummy.

In other words, the higher-ups are very concerned about the dummy.

After all, these weird things are different from the nightmares we encountered in the past. Nightmares and the like can only exist in the nightmare world. Compared to the real world, they are an unreachable area.

But the dummy is different.

After these weird things completely imitate a person and replace them, they can complete the complete replacement by killing the other person's actual existence in the nightmare.

Can return to the real world in place of the person being replaced.

This is scary.

Equivalently, it is not safe in the real world.

If Lin Mo were the upper-level leader, he would treat this matter as a big deal.

In the real world, there are professional people to arrest people, but from dawn to dusk, several hours have passed, and there is still no good news.

Lin Mo asked Wang Zhen to retrieve Han Feng's information and study it.

This Han Feng, like Lin Mo, became a monk and entered the Security Bureau halfway. He even entered the Security Bureau a few months earlier than Lin Mo.

It’s considered seniority.

At that time, the Security Bureau went through a period of rapid expansion, and was helpless and short of manpower.

The nightmare world was blooming all over the place at that time, and the Security Bureau was in urgent need of manpower, so the threshold for entering the Security Bureau at that time was very low. Just like Lin Mo, according to normal procedures and rules and regulations, it would be impossible for him to climb to his current position.

Leader of the special affairs handling team of the General Administration.

It is equivalent to the same level as the leader of the expert group.

This was because Lin Mo had made great contributions and had a good relationship with Professor Xie and other high-level officials. Otherwise, he could only be the same as Han Feng, at most a member of the ordinary expert team.

Let’s continue talking about Han Feng.

The other party is very low-key.

Very low profile.

He is so low-key that he has hardly made any achievements. Basically, he does whatever the superiors tell him to do.

However, this is also the state of most people.

very common.

But just because it is ordinary, it will not be discovered.

The information states that the other person has the ability to live in a nightmare world. This guy has a weird evil radio and can hear some special sounds through the radio.

After training, you can hear sound fluctuations in a fixed area.

Especially suitable for monitoring.

In addition, the other party also has a code name in the expert group.

Of course, it's not called a 'radio', it's called a Scorpion.

This Han Feng also has another ability, combat ability, otherwise he would not be included in the combat team.

Lin Mo had seen it before and was quite impressed, mainly because he had a big scorpion on his head.

This scorpion looks a lot like the facehugger in horror movies, except it has a long tail.

It has to be two meters.

It hangs down and can be dragged to the ground.

The opponent's attack method is this two-meter-long scorpion tail. The spikes are sharp and can easily pierce wooden boards and iron sheets, but the real destructive power is the venom on the scorpion tail.

Whether it is a human or a nightmare, if one is stung by this scorpion's tail, the skin will peel off even if it is not dead.

It is said that this guy was put on the head by this scorpion by chance. At that time, this scorpion was attacked by another nightmare and could only survive with the help of Han Feng.

Therefore, a certain degree of symbiosis is formed.

Han Feng can also use this scorpion tail to attack enemies, and his combat effectiveness is ranked B+ in the rating given by the General Administration.

In terms of attack power alone, it is very strong.

There is not much else written in the information, just some basic review content, such as origin, education, family situation, and relatives.

What missions have been carried out so far and what is the evaluation of the missions?

All of these are available.

Anyway, judging from this information, it is impossible to tell that this guy is a spy.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Mo was rubbing his chin and thinking about it.

"This Han Feng is very strong. In terms of combat effectiveness in the nightmare world, he is definitely in the first echelon of the expert group. Logically speaking, if the dummy wants to threaten him, he may kill him first. That is Say, the cooperation between them may be voluntary, each getting what he needs?"

"Also, why does Liu Hengqiang call this Han Feng No. 1?"

Lin Mo knew that this number 1 could simply be interpreted as a code name; but it might also have a deeper meaning.

It's all an unsolved mystery at the moment.

It's late at night now.

Gong Shu followed the arrest team to look for someone outside, but he never found him.

Retrieval of monitoring information found nothing.

The other party did not use his or her identity card to check in at the hotel. Of course, anyone with a little bit of brains would know that if he checked in with his own ID card, he would be discovered immediately.

The director over there gave a death order and Han Feng must be found.

Not only in the real world, but also in the safe zone in the nightmare world, investigations have begun.

Lin Mo looked at the people around him who were busy, and he couldn't do much to help. At this time, he planned to go to the toilet.

When he came out of it, a man came out of the utility room next to him and put a gun to Lin Mo's back.
