Chapter 217 216. The Mystery of the South Pacific

Colin did not dare to neglect at all, and concentrated on what was going to happen next.

As Pim told him, he did not tell anyone about this matter because of what happened in Los Angeles when he first entered Section 11.

Regarding the Countermeasure Bureau, he had an instinctive suspicion.

The hinges of the iron-lined wooden door were rusty and made an unpleasant screeching sound. A man covered in blood was breathing heavily, dragging a large suitcase in his hand. The rollers had been completely broken on the mountain road, and he was dragging it almost the entire way. Moving forward, the bottom of the suitcase has been scratched.

There was faint traces of blood.

"Pim?"

Colin was a little surprised. He looked as if he was avoiding someone to catch up with him, and he was in a very embarrassed state.

"You arrived earlier than I thought. I thought you would be later than me."

"Is anyone following you?"

Pim was extremely cautious and did not enter in a hurry, worrying about anything.

"There's no one here."

"I did not leak this matter, not even to the Countermeasures Bureau."

Colin was a little suspicious. As Pim, if he encountered any accident, he could ask the first department for support. There was no reason for him to be found.

"Can I trust you?"

Pim could not find anyone who could help him. After thinking about it, he found that he only had this man whom he had known for less than a week, and he had no credentials. He just killed the Pope and avenged his friend. Revenge, nothing more, although he only killed the Pope out of his own will.

"This question has an answer from the beginning."

"You have no choice but to go this way now."

"There is no other choice."

Colin didn't know what part Pim was playing, whether he had defected from Section 1 or what.

"That's right."

Pim took off his bloody clothes, threw the suitcase aside, and then closed the iron door to prevent the wind and snow from continuing to seep in. He turned on the flashlight and placed it on the rotten wooden table. The light pointed towards the ceiling. There was a light source in the invisible room. , but can only see things.

Only then did Colin see clearly the injuries on Pim's body. The entire upper body was covered with bleeding bandages. The bandaging technique was extremely rough, as if he had bandaged it himself.

Colin did not ask the reason as soon as he came and asked Pim to rest for a while.

"How did you know about this damn place?"

Colin has no hobby of traveling. Even on his honeymoon, he went to well-known places. He had never been to such a remote and isolated area before, and it took a lot of effort.

"When I was in school, I was a member of the mountaineering club."

"After being trapped here for a while, you may have heard more or less about what happened nine years ago."

"A few students were seeking death while hiking, and two of them died."

"I was a witness to that news."

"At that time, I had an unrealistic fantasy. If someone was chasing me, this would be an excellent place to hide."

"I didn't expect it to come true."

Pim looked at the layout of the room. Everything was the same as in his memory. The rusty shovels and crowbars were piled up in the corners, and the rotten boards were piled up next to the sealed windows.

"Who is chasing you?"

"Can't we ask for help from the First Department?"

Colin asked. He didn't expect Pim to have such a past. The prerequisite for infection of patients with latent syndrome is derailment from the symbolic world. That disaster must be one of the causes.

Pim's facial muscles twitched, as if he was a little agitated. The wounds on his body also cracked, and some blood oozed out.

"Because the people who are chasing me..."

"That's the agent from Section 1."

"I have killed two people who...were fighting together."

"Now I have been fully wanted. They say that I secretly communicate with SCT and am a spy of SCT."

Pim still doesn't understand that he has made such a great contribution to the countermeasures bureau, but he still... kills without any explanation.

These words sounded like thunder in Colin's ears. He had already vaguely guessed that what happened was an internal problem in the Countermeasures Bureau, but he did not expect that the situation would be so serious.

"What happened?"

"You are considered one of the top combatants in the First Division."

Colin understood that although these people had the title of justice, they were also extremely snobbish. The difference in treatment between him and ordinary agents was not only material, but also spiritual. Many people only had no choice but to join this battle that was more complicated than the landing battle. A killing spree that is ten thousand times more dangerous.

"The order issued by Section 1 is."

"Those scholars who find the South Pacific incident must be immediately handed over to the person with the highest authority to deal with it."

"Based on my authority, I am not qualified to talk to these scholars."

Pim still maintained a paranoia-like caution and asked Colin to turn off all electronic devices. Although this was not within the service area, he still insisted on doing so.

Colin knew that Pim's spirit was now highly tense, and his calm expression and words were just his mind suppressing him. As he said, he turned off all electronic devices.

"Countermeasures bureaus are everywhere..."

"They're everywhere."

Pim murmured as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. He was still not at ease. He even went out of the door to check if there was any antenna inside. He went up to the roof and searched around to find that there was no antenna. Then he returned to the house.

Even so, he was still not completely relieved, with violent anxiety in his eyes.

"Then you mean..."

"Have you found Opal?"

This was beyond Colin's expectation. It has only been close to ten days from the beginning to now, but it is not too short. It can only be said to be the direction of fate.

Pim nodded.

"Yes, I caught that man, just two days after you left."

"I also escorted Opal to the designated location according to the instructions of the First Division, because I did not have the authority to interrogate him."

“But along the way, I changed my mind.”

"These scholars..."

"Knowing big things."

"You should know that SCT has a structure called a summit. This summit determines all actions of SCT. The people you are familiar with, Di Wei and Ya Xiu, are all members of the summit."

"And this summit also has a chief and deputy chairmen, who decide the most critical things."

"They never show up, they just have an agent present."

"They are not human and they are not infected."

"It's another... thing."

Pim showed some serious fear. He didn't know what he was going to deal with. Madman was okay, but those things...

"I do not understand."

"How come Section 1 is chasing you?"

Colin couldn't figure out whether Pim knew something important or the truth.

"Because the people from the Countermeasures Bureau's high command..."

"They never show up, they just manipulate everything secretly, tempting people to join a war that is impossible to win."

"They...are not human either."

"Same as those crazy things in SCT."
