Latent Syndrome

Chapter 46 46. Before the Storm

Liberty City, Bay Avenue Villas, No. 101.

The pleasant sounds of crashing waves and chirping seabirds filtered through the arched windows.

But he was soon interrupted by the ringing of the landline phone placed on the small bar at home.

It was a beautiful figure from behind. She answered the phone and found that the caller ID showed an unknown number.

"Hello."

"Who is it?"

No words were spoken on the other end of the phone, not even breathing could be heard.

"Hello?"

She kept trying.

"are you still there?"

But after seven or eight seconds, there was still no movement from the speaker.

Then the other party hung up the phone directly.

…

…

…

St. George District, Los Angeles.

Colin covered the phone in the public telephone box.

His expression was extremely gloomy, with a hint of ferocity.

She has received a deposit from Hoshino Manatsu, and her organization knows as much about Latent Syndrome as the Countermeasures Bureau.

As the latent syndrome worsens, the hallucinations become more and more severe.

Weightlessness, dizziness, bizarre illusions, creatures from different dimensions squirming under the skin, and the dead turned into nightmares that constantly interfere with reason.

Of course, there is also the ugly growth of the stock index lines.

All of this is like hell.

He has already taken the Medal of Honor obtained in the stock exchange incident and sold it on the treasure market. This thing has actually been sold for hundreds of thousands. Plus the bounty obtained from these incidents, it is enough to live for the rest of his life. life.

But he didn't know if he could hold on, and he became more and more frantic and conscious.

Perhaps the so-called PT type is different from regular infected people. He feels that he dives very quickly. The violence in his soul becomes clearer and clearer, and he can truly feel every bit of pain.

Although Colin does not trust Hoshino Manatsu, her organization has other methods to combat these symptoms besides using "tokens".

The goal is to find a way to disable the body locator. Colin himself doesn't want to know, just to get rid of the control of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Another goal is to investigate the life experience of Gray, the head of the 11th Section of the Countermeasures Bureau, in order to grasp his handle and key points.

The organization that Hoshino Manatsu belongs to is extremely thirsty for information about the Countermeasure Bureau, but they are not pure fanatics like SCT. This is really unclear.

Colin readily agreed. It was not that he wanted to resist the Countermeasures Bureau. The Countermeasures Bureau might be just. The main reason was that he had no good impression of this woman. Even if something happened to her, someone else would immediately take the blame. Position.

He had just come out of a public telephone box.

Three passers-by recognized him and found out that he was the man who blew a bottle of tequila in the tavern more than a month ago. No one can forget such a macho man.

"Isn't this the god of wine? How about we go have a drink together?"

One of them invited, and he looked like Colin was fine.

Bacchus?

Dionysian.

This reminded Colin of Nietzsche, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"I have something to do."

Colin decisively refused.

Perhaps because he had his girlfriend with him, such a refusal made him feel a little embarrassed.

Snapped……

"Just a small cup."

He put his hand on Colin's shoulder.

Colin's consciousness was a little confused. He pinched the man's thumb and pulled it back hard. The pain made him groan. If Colin pressed harder, he could break it. If he wanted to, he could even tear it off.

"We don't mean any harm."

Looking at Colin's fierce eyes and tall man, he didn't want the matter to deteriorate further.

At this time, Colin also realized that something was wrong with him and quickly let go of his hand. The three of them looked at Colin with hostility in their eyes.

"Let's have a chance next time."

He rubbed his temples to regain his consciousness, and then left quickly.

A plane passed slowly overhead.

That engine sound.

This made Colin even more irritated.

…

…

…

The Headquarters of Section 11 of the Countermeasures Bureau is located in a mountain tunnel, 7 kilometers underground.

The deeply hidden secret room is a huge space, and the green reflection is extremely weird.

Countless glass vessels with metal bases filled the entire secret room. These two-meter-diameter cylindrical instruments were filled with green liquid and connected to thick pipes. The movement of air caused bubbles to continuously rise in the liquid. All the vessels were filled with green liquid. It is soaked with all kinds of strange creatures of different shapes, with the same outline as a human being, but only in general, and many details have an inconsistent sense of being fragmented and pieced together haphazardly.

"It's amazing... to have such a terrifying reaction! I've never seen it before!"

The old man with glasses made a crazy laugh, but it sounded more like the sound of air conditioning.

Unlike glassware that is soaked in liquid.

This secret room also has other large-scale facilities. The hard glass formed by the fullerene structure forms a closed space with no dead ends, and the scene inside can be observed from the outside in all directions.

I saw a weird flesh-and-blood creation inside. Whenever a picture of a creature is displayed on the screen, the creature can immediately imitate the appearance of the creature, but it is only limited to the appearance. It will collapse into its original image because it does not understand the internal structure. , a pool of moving blood.

But this flesh-and-blood creation has extremely high intelligence. If you put a living creature directly into it without using a display screen, it will take it apart to observe it, and then perfectly copy the other person's image.

"This completely violates basic physics. Is it a power coming from the abyss?"

The old man was extremely fanatical.

The eerie light shone on Gray's already terrifying appearance, which made her look even more terrifying. She watched all of this quietly.

"Any other discoveries?"

Gray asked.

"No matter it is any object, even the vision of the infected person, it can disassemble its source and imitate it completely without any energy. Although it is gradually losing activity, it is not because of losing energy composition, it is just that it interacts with its owner's The connection gradually diminishes and becomes self-destructive.”

"If you leave him to me, I can guarantee that there will be an extremely significant breakthrough in research."

The old man asked tentatively.

Gray was silent for a while.

"SCT..."

"They have a tradition, they prefer protocols, they care more about gentlemen's agreements."

"This is not just a confrontation of strength."

"Don't talk about this again."

Gray's tone was as cold as ever.

"It's such a pity, then we must keep an eye on him."

The old man was a little disappointed.

Gray's expression became more and more serious. According to the SCT's past successful operations in Western Europe, their approach was often to first create panic or spread negative remarks, and then to destroy the authority of the local governing body. First, they would use special means to assassinate or openly attack. Kill key figures, and then use their minions to pretend to be a third-party righteous force to win over the masses. Finally, after the negotiation between the "third party" and SCT, they were completely ruled by SCT.

The first phase of Los Angeles City has already progressed to a certain extent, and the second phase of the plan will begin at the same time, which means that SCT will slowly start to take action.

"How many S-level infected people are there in Section 11 now, not counting aid from other sections?"

Gray asked, she was not the only one responsible for the recruitment incident.

"There are only two of them in total. Do you place your hopes on them..."

This is not to say that the S-class is not powerful enough, but it is just... Although the top cadres of SCT rarely take action, they can no longer be described as human power. They are more like god-like methods. I don’t know if they can resist it. .

The Countermeasures Bureau cannot take any risks if an ace agent joins the fight.

"It's not just Los Angeles, the situation in other areas is equally dangerous."

After Gray finished speaking, he left the secret room.

The top priority is to uncover the traitor hidden in Section 11.
