Hot summer day. Among the weeds next to the funeral parlor in the suburbs of Heilong City, He Wei, wearing camouflage uniforms, lay on the ground. From time to time, she picked up a telescope to look at the funeral parlor in front of her, or at the surveillance screen next to her.

After learning that the compound suspected of being able to put people into hibernation and suspended animation was also detected in the kidney specimen of the "deceased", a huge net was set up in secret without alerting any outsiders. Open.

Attending doctors, nurses, morgue staff, corpse trucks, funeral homes, crematoriums, etc., everyone and everywhere in the entire chain are strictly monitored.

But all previous surveillance failed to detect anything. And today is the last day of the memorial service for the deceased. Barring any accident, his body will be cremated today.

This means that if the secret organization hiding in the dark really wants to "kidnap" the deceased, today is the last chance.

Zhang Dingshan, also wearing camouflage, monitored the funeral home from another direction.

He knew that at this moment, in addition to himself and He Wei, two members of the Second Operation Team of the 13th Division of the Planetary Security Bureau, there were at least 300 of his own personnel standing ready nearby.

Once a signal is given, these hundreds of people can immediately surround the funeral home. The various equipment they carry are even enough to complete a tough battle on a regular battlefield.

As long as the person from the secret organization dares to come, as long as he is not a superman who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and break mountains with one punch, we will definitely be able to keep him.

Time is passing quietly. Through internal monitoring, He Wei saw that the memorial service had come to an end and the body had been transferred and was on its way to the blast furnace of the crematorium.

A silent drone equipped with an ultra-high-definition camera clearly captured this scene from an altitude of several hundred meters.

The body finally entered the cremation workshop.

According to speculation, Lu Ming's "remains" were most likely switched at this stage. So it's equally possible this time.

He Wei secretly clenched her fists.

At this moment, very light footsteps suddenly came from behind her. This made He Wei's muscles tighten immediately.

She didn't look back because she had to keep an eye on the surveillance footage to ensure that she could respond immediately no matter what happened.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, and a low purring sound reached her ears.

She casually pulled out a dagger, placed it next to the surveillance screen, and saw the scene behind her through the dagger's reflection.

It was a wild dog with its tongue sticking out and a fierce look in its eyes.

"Woof!"

The wild dog barked, spread its legs, and quickly rushed towards He Wei who was lying on the ground. He Wei stood still, seemingly unaware of the threat.

When the wild dog opened its mouth and was about to bite her, He Wei made a lightning-fast stroke with his left arm in the air and slit the wild dog's throat with extreme precision.

Under the action of inertia, the wild dog jumped directly over He Wei's body, fell to the side, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving. He Wei put away the dagger.

He never glanced at the wild dog from beginning to end. Her eyes were always fixed on the surveillance screen.

"Come on, come on, let me see who made such a big noise on our earth..."

He Wei was ready to face any situation.

But... nothing happened.

Monitoring in the cremation workshop showed that the cremator was always working in an orderly manner. He lit the flame in the cremator and waited for the furnace temperature to rise. During this period, he poured combustion-supporting liquid on the body of the deceased, and then pushed the corpse truck to the cremator.

The next moment was cremation.

But no mysterious man appeared and took away the body with an unknown body.

The fire chemical engineer opened the furnace door, but unexpectedly found that the flame inside was extinguished in an instant.

Through the surveillance, He Wei clearly saw that Huo Chemical's face was full of doubts.

He Wei punched the ground hard.

The plan failed.

When the cremator really wants to cremate the body, the mechanism that has been set up before will automatically cut off the fuel supply and the flame will go out, thus preventing the body from being cremated.

She stood up with a gloomy look on her face.

At this time, there is no need to lurk.

"Control all handling personnel, with special emphasis on the cremation industry. Take the body away."

Zhang Dingshan issued the order.

Without the knowledge of the deceased's family, the body of the deceased was taken away and temporarily stored by our own personnel as arranged before. At the same time, the entire funeral home, as well as doctors and others, were also taken to another venue.

This time, Zhang Dingshan made more careful arrangements. He was convinced that, at least within the known scope, no one could resort to assassination to kill any of the people under his control.

The subsequent isolation interrogation began immediately. However, Zhang Dingshan did not continue to stay here.

He followed the ice coffin containing the remains of the deceased to the laboratory where Shi Guofu was located.

A few hours later, the test results came back.

"Traces of that compound were also detected in the new specimens."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Professor Shi, can you confirm whether this body is really dead or is in 'hibernation'?"

Doctors in the hospital would probably not do this kind of thing. They have more convenient indicators to judge, such as heartbeat, brain waves, etc.

But these conventional methods are obviously not applicable to the current situation.

"I can try."

After a group of experts headed by Shi Guofu were busy testing and discussing for a long time, Shi Guofu said to Zhang Dingshan: "According to our definition, no matter how you look at it, he is dead."

"What does 'according to our definition' mean?"

Shi Guofu wondered: "He is indeed dead, but the state of death is slightly different from normal death. Some of his cells still maintain weak vitality. If the body is always in a frozen state, preservation If it is intact and shows no signs of corruption, theoretically, well, just theoretically, there should be some way to 'resurrect' it again. Of course we can't do it."

"If it's not frozen, will it go bad?"

Shi Guofu nodded affirmatively: "Yes. Once corrupted, there will be no way to resurrect it, I'm sure."

Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly.

In modern society, after death, most of the remains are frozen. In this respect, the secretive organization took advantage of this process of human society.

This time, a large-scale investigation was carried out, and a bit of information was finally discovered, but overall it was of little value.

"Put this body here for now. You can freeze it. The specimen testing will continue. If you find anything, please notify me immediately."

"good."

After only assisting the Planetary Security Bureau for a short period of time, Shi Guofu received enough subsidies to treat his children. However, the child's future recovery will cost a lot of money. Now Shi Guofu is very motivated and wishes that the mission period would be longer.

Field hospital.

After the second victim was confirmed, Lu Ming's uniqueness was broken, and it was confirmed that he was not a monster or alien, the monitoring of him was greatly weakened.

However, because of his status as the only survivor, this monitoring will still continue. But now he can at least leave the hospital room, move around indoors, and have direct contact with more people.

You must know that before this, everyone who had direct contact with him was risking their lives and was determined to be eaten and sacrificed by Lu Ming who turned into a monster at any time.

Now, Lu Ming could finally sit at the conference table and talk directly with Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Either there is an insider, or the secret organization has monitoring methods beyond our protection capabilities. Our actions have been noticed by them from the beginning. I prefer the second point."

Lu Ming expressed his opinion.

"I agree."

He Wei nodded: "From this point of view, the secret organization is trying to avoid direct contact or conflict with us. For this reason, they do not hesitate to give up their predetermined goals."

"I estimate there will be a third victim. What are you going to do then?"

"No more monitoring, just let them take the victim away." Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "After that, we will review the handlers of the entire chain to see if we can find clues."

Judging from Lu Ming's experience, the organization that swapped the body would most likely collude with insiders. In this case, just let them pack the body, and then check all the people who handled the body one by one.

At this moment, Lu Ming had another idea in his mind.

"Perhaps... we can start from the commonalities of different victims and check what aspects we have in common. Maybe we can find the pattern of that organization's behavior."

He Wei knocked on the table dissatisfied: "This is just a basic operation, we have already done it."

"Did you find anything?"

Lu Ming was full of expectations.

"Yes, there are many. For example, you are all human beings, all male, speak the same language, and all live in Asia."

This is common ground, but obviously of little value.

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan's cell phone rang.

After reading the information, Zhang Dingshan's expression became solemn.

"He Wei, the commonalities you mentioned may have to be denied. Victim No. 3 has appeared, female, 47 years old, living in Europe."

This time, Zhang Dingshan didn't make any advance arrangements, no lurking, no monitoring, nothing. It was as if he didn't know anything about it.

At most, we can only find out the arrangements after the death of the deceased through some public channels.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the body of the deceased had been cremated. And this means that if the secret organization will really switch the body again, then they have already completed it now.

It’s time to close the net.
