Chapter 57 Letter
Chapter 57 Letter
The F Parliament has stepped in.
This conclusion seemed to leave Jiang Zhengge and Lucy looking worried, and even Lin Chen, who had just entered the abnormal world, roughly understood its meaning.
The F Council is at the top of the Foundation and is the shadow government of Yudu.
They are always the manipulators hidden in the shadows, never revealing themselves unless absolutely necessary.
But now, a member of the F Council has come here in person and rescued Captain England.
Why?
This guy hasn't even built up his reputation yet, unlike Optimus Prime who already has a good reputation and has starred in several blockbuster movies.
If Optimus Prime can be used as a pawn... is it really necessary for the F Council to take the initiative for the sake of a British captain?
Not to mention that Captain England has been beaten to the point of being practically crippled. The video of this battle is even enough for the investigation bureau to overturn his conviction. Whether in the public opinion or in reality, Captain England is practically crippled.
Why did Euclid have to get involved himself?
Is there something else going on here?
Lin Chen suddenly recalled what the English captain had said:
"...Before long, the Investigation Bureau will be no match for us..."
From what he said, it seemed that the foundation was brewing some kind of plan, something big.
And Captain England knew about this plan...
"......!"
Lin Chen suddenly realized something:
The F Council is clearly aware of the "Mirage City's" capabilities!
They knew that if Captain England died at Lin Chen's hands, Lin Chen would learn about the Foundation's plan through "Mirage City"!
That plan was enough to make the Bureau of Investigation unable to fight the Foundation!
Lin Chen recalled Qingtian's memories: in those memories, his "elder brother" had warned Qingtian to be careful of "the ghosts of history".
Was that warning based on the same reason?
After Lin Chen killed Qingtian, the F Council learned that the "ghost of history" had returned, so they kept an eye on Captain England.
They need to prevent Lin Chen from killing Captain Yinglun and to prevent the plan from being exposed to Lin Chen.
What could that plan be?
Is it the abyss city "Ideal State" that can drag all regions directly into the subspace?
Or was it the unknown force that instantly severed the Iron Horn Bridge in half?
"..."
"Wow...you're bleeding! Are you alright? Are you alright? Your eyes are glazed over, Lin Chen!"
Lin Chen came to his senses and found Li Zhanyi standing in front of him in a panic, taking something from Lin Chen's needle case.
At this moment, the Second Department had arrived at the scene. Marcus was talking to Jiang Zhengge, while Lucy was already lying on a stretcher, looking at the medical staff bandaging her with an impatient expression.
"I'm fine," Lin Chen realized, "just a scratch."
"But your neck is covered in blood," Li Zhanyi said, standing on tiptoe. "Don't move."
She inserted an needle into Lin Chen's neck, and the bleeding gradually stopped.
"Are you feeling dizzy?" Li Zhanyi asked.
"no."
"Well... it's alright..."
After Li Zhanyi finished speaking, his body swayed slightly and went limp.
"It's sticking to my clothes!"
He caught Li Zhanyi and pulled her into his arms to prevent her from falling.
"It's nothing..." Li Zhanyi's voice was soft. "The prophecy was a bit... overdone... haha..."
She wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck, like a sloth.
Lin Chen picked up Li Zhanyi and turned to look at Section Chief Jiang for help.
Seeing this, Section Chief Jiang stopped talking to Marcus, jogged over to Lin Chen's side, and checked on Li Zhanyi.
"It's nothing, it's just that Lingzhi is overloaded and the load is a bit too heavy," Jiang Zhengge said. "You take her out of the ruins first, the Third Division is already at the door."
"it is good."
So, Lin Chen carried Li Zhanyi and walked towards the door of the confidential archives room.
As he turned around, he heard Marcus apologizing to Jiang Zhengge:
"This one's ours. We held the entrance, but they got in using that portal."
"It's alright, we still won a great victory this time. We got the intelligence, and Captain England is crippled. I doubt he'll be able to show his face," Jiang Zhengge said optimistically. "However, the F Council has chosen to intervene now, which makes the situation more complicated..."
"Is the F Council... real or fake?"
"..."
After being cleared out by the Second Division, the entire archives maze became quiet, and most of those human skin books had been disposed of and piled up by the roadside.
Of course, Lin Chen felt that the biggest reason for the tranquility was probably the disappearance of the "archiver".
I wonder if those scattered little characters will ever grow back... RIP...
Lin Chen touched his pocket: the two dark blue crystals that had fallen after the "archivist" disappeared were inside.
These two pieces are much larger than the ones he received at school before, and Lin Chen subjectively believes they are worth at least ten thousand yuan.
Although the English captain escaped... well, it can be considered a gain in itself.
However, the fact that this thing escaped didn't cause Lin Chen much frustration.
His strength seems to be not much different from that of Optimus Prime. Although he can manipulate metal, he is not strong enough to control every bullet under normal circumstances. Most of the time, he just has to tough it out.
Even if he lost control later, the only ability he displayed was manipulating metal; there were no other tricks.
Lin Chen felt he could easily defeat a demigod of this level.
If he shows up again, just kick him to death.
What truly worries Lin Chen is not the English captain, but that "Euclid".
That guy's aura alone was several orders of magnitude stronger than a gamma-level aura...
How do you win a fight against that kind of monster?
"..."
Soon, Lin Chen carried Li Zhanyi out of the bunker.
As soon as he stepped outside, Lin Chen was stunned by the sight before him: dimensional anchors were everywhere in the wilderness, almost one every few meters, and the black threads hanging in the sky had become fewer.
Various tents have been erected, and researchers can be seen everywhere using instruments to measure various objects in the subspace.
Lin Chen only knew that the Rapid Response Section 3 was a logistics section, but he didn't expect their logistics capabilities to be so abnormal that they had directly claimed territory in subspace.
"You must be Lin Chen?"
A cool female voice came from beside him. Lin Chen turned his head and saw a solemn-looking woman standing next to him.
Lin Chen's first impression of her was that she was very cuckolded.
She wore a light green uniform skirt suit, a military green trench coat, and had dark green curly hair.
"It's me," Lin Chen said.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Hua Molan, the director of the Bureau of Anomalies Investigation."
Hua Molan snapped his fingers, and two soldiers carried over a stretcher and placed it on the ground.
"Put the girl on a stretcher," Hua Molan pointed to the ground, "and then come with me. You need to be investigated."
"Accept the investigation?"
"I've reviewed the records. A gamma-level anomalous entity chose to submit before you," Hua Molan pushed up her sunglasses. "I have no hostility towards you, but you need to provide an explanation for this matter, and you need to undergo a thorough investigation over a period of time. Otherwise, I'm very worried about the safety of the others."
I see...
Lin Chen glanced at the curious gazes around him, then looked at Hua Molan:
"Chief, does it have to be now? The current situation..."
"Precisely because the situation is more urgent, we cannot tolerate unstable variables being involved," Hua Molan said. "Please."
For a moment, the situation reached a stalemate.
Lin Chen wasn't sure what this "investigation" meant, but he didn't intend to reveal everything about the "Mirage City" so soon.
He knew that Jiang Zhengge had never believed his claims about "super hearing" and "mimicry," yet he still trusted him.
But now it seems that this was just Jiang Zhengge's personal stance, not the stance of the Investigation Bureau.
This is not Hua Molan's stance either.
Although Lin Chen preferred to keep his secrets, he could understand Hua Molan's attitude.
An unstable element within a small squad engaged in long-term frontline combat is indeed a problem in the eyes of those in higher positions.
So, Lin Chen bent down and placed the dazed Li Zhanyi on the stretcher, then stood up and faced Hua Molan:
"Let's go."
Hua Molan nodded, and with a wave of her hand, two guards stepped forward to handcuff Lin Chen.
Just then, Hua Molan's phone rang.
"Wait a moment."
She reached out to stop the guard's movement, glanced at her phone screen, and her expression changed slightly.
Hua Molan closed her eyes, thought for a moment, then opened them and said:
"It's alright, you can take Zhanyi back now."
"No need for further investigation?" Lin Chen was taken aback.
"Go quickly and take good care of them."
After saying that, Hua Molan turned and walked away into the distance without looking back.
"..."
Lin Chen waited until the director had walked away before entering the "Mirage City" and looking at Hua Molan's phone screen from her perspective.
The message on the screen contained only three words:
"Let him handle it."
The sender is unknown.
