Chapter 87 The Situation is Grim (4/10)

After a moment of silence, Chen Zhenghai muttered to himself, "The director deliberately let me know that the Tongue of the Dead in the evidence room had been taken away, and then urged me to act quickly and go to the shelter to investigate."

Li Jiuhe nodded: "He knows your abilities very well, and he also knows your personality. You could say that after he made these arrangements, you will unknowingly fall into this trap."

"So if we really go to the shelter this time, we'll be walking into a trap?" Chen Zhenghai felt a chill of fear.

"That's most likely the case."

"But why would he do that?" Chen Zhenghai wondered.

Li Jiuhe knew he was still missing a lot of crucial information, information that only he, having experienced two mission resets, would know.

He planned to tell Chen Zhenghai this information because only Chen Zhenghai had the ability to help him solve this current problem.

This is no longer just a simple problem; it's a predicament, a shocking conspiracy against us, which will also drag so many people down with us!

The saying goes, "Make the best use of things and let people give full play to their strengths."

Li Jiuhe knew very well what he was good at and what he was not good at.

If he wants to turn the tide, relying on Chen Zhenghai's insight and analytical abilities would be a good option.

Organizing his thoughts, he combined Chen Zhenghai's previous analysis with all the information he had seen in the Y-01 containment room and outside the containment facility, using his own foresight and feelings as an excuse to describe it from a different perspective.

The goal is to ensure that Chen Zhenghai has access to this information to the greatest extent possible without compromising his own judgment.

Chen Zhenghai became increasingly alarmed as he listened, and soon his face turned pale.

After Li Jiuhe finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Based on your deductions and the feedback from your predictive abilities, the guy lying in the Y-01 containment chamber is most likely the mastermind, and once we enter the containment chamber, his plan will succeed. Whether it's the Morning Bell of the Second Seventh, the Tongue of the Dead, or that watch, they will all become his possessions?"

Li Jiuhe nodded. He didn't replace the watch with his own because if he went into too much detail, Chen Zhenghai would definitely suspect that it wasn't his precognitive ability, but rather that he might have actually experienced it.

Moreover, whether or not to change is meaningless, because Si Mingyu's goals will be achieved in due time, which does not affect Chen Zhenghai's current judgment and analysis.

While thinking quickly, Chen Zhenghai said, "Your statement makes some sense. I've been wondering why the director would let the special team intercept us. Now, putting it all together, and considering all the signs from before, it all points to Meng Chao and the mastermind behind it. Liu Qian and I, and even the entire First and Second Teams, have become tools manipulated by Meng Chao."

At this point, he took a deep breath: "I know Meng Chao. If this is truly his plan, then the benefits it brings will far outweigh the consequences."

"It's possible that the mastermind behind that shelter gave him a condition he simply couldn't refuse," Li Jiuhe guessed.

"That should be the case," Chen Zhenghai nodded.

"There's another question I'm not sure if you're clear on," Li Jiuhe asked. "Is there any large-scale weaponry with electric shock capabilities inside this containment facility?"

"An electric shock-type lethal weapon?" Chen Zhenghai frowned in thought.

After a moment, he shook his head: "Liu Qian knows best about this, so I can't be sure if it's true or not. But—I remember Liu Qian mentioning to me before that Director Feng of the containment facility seems to have a sequence ability related to electricity."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuhe's heart sank.

He could still recall the feeling of being instantly electrocuted, and he vaguely saw an arc of electricity flashing inside the command vehicle before he died.

The power of this electric shock was so great that it was no less than the devastation of a real lightning strike.

If it didn't come from a highly lethal weapon, but from the hand of Director Feng, then it means that the two most powerful Sequencers in the vicinity of Wangchuan City have already joined forces.

Otherwise, the Tongue of the Dead could not have been sent into the Y-01 containment chamber without anyone noticing, because Liu Qian had checked at the time and there was no visitor registration for the containment chamber before.

Of course, so far these people have been extremely secretive in their actions. If Chen Zhenghai hadn't discovered the clues about Director Meng Chao, the whole thing would never have been exposed.

Under normal circumstances, by the time Li Jiuhe found out, it would be too late.

Chen Zhenghai didn't ask any questions; he simply looked at Li Jiuhe's expression and already guessed why Li Jiuhe asked that question.

From the moment he learned the truth, Chen Zhenghai had been frowning.

After a moment, he sighed softly: "The situation is not optimistic. Although our plan to investigate the shelter has to be canceled, you, me, Liu Qian, and even Group One and Group Two are already in danger."

Li Jiuhe quickly calculated in his mind and asked, "Can we immediately notify the Southwest Regional Investigation Bureau and report this to them? Once the higher-ups know, someone will definitely come to resolve the matter."

Chen Zhenghai had the same idea: "I'll handle this matter. Don't ask any questions or pay attention to anything. Just be vigilant."

He paused, then added, "And about your mission setting, although I don't know its detailed function and effects, I suggest you keep it in mission mode at all times, making 'survival' your most important task."

"clear."

Chen Zhenghai hesitated for a moment, but still said, "See if you can stop Erqi Chenzhong from following you, and it would be best if the two of you could sever your connection. Doing so will prolong the time they have to deal with you and increase your chances of survival."

"Okay." Li Jiuhe nodded emphatically.

Standing up, Chen Zhenghai glanced at the wall clock: "How come time flies so fast? I'll be going now. I'll explain this to Liu Qian."

At this moment, Liu Qian was sitting in the command vehicle, waiting by the roadside behind the residential area.

"Remember, the disparity in strength between us and them is too great, so no matter what happens, we must not confront them head-on!"

Just be careful and wait patiently for reinforcements from your superiors.

As they approached the door, Chen Zhenghai gave Li Jiuhe another few instructions.

"You should also be careful." Li Jiuhe saw him to the door.

Chen Zhenghai nodded and quickly left.

When he arrived at the building, he took out his phone and called his wife, who was at home.

"Honey, take our son to a hotel called Hongyunlai in Xinjiekou right now for the night. The bureau needs our room for an office case. Remember to tell the front desk that you and our son need room 707. Don't bring anything, everything is provided in the room. Go quickly."

After hanging up the phone, the light in Chen Zhenghai's eyes gradually dimmed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

He quickly walked out of the back gate of the residential area and approached the command vehicle parked on the side of the road.
