Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: Selling Your Head to Someone Who Knows

Because in fact, for many years, the struggle between humans and bacteria can also be regarded as a battle of wits-although both sides lost a lot of lives in their actions, bacteria and viruses not only adapt to the weapons that humans throw at them, The resistance made weapons ineffective, and new types of bacteria and viruses continued to breed out, and even where they came from was unknown. In the long-standing struggle, if it is said that human beings have gained the upper hand, why is it that the so-called "spirit of creation" cannot even deal with the most common cold virus, which is too small to see?

On the contrary, the virus comes roaring in, wreaks havoc for a round, and goes away. I don't know when, or in which corner of the world, "influenza" will suddenly appear. Where is the line of defense for human beings?Even if there is a line of defense, Type A can be prevented, and Type B is rampant.Type A and Type B are all blocked, and a mixed nature comes, which is really hard to guard against! Human beings are actually very aware of this situation, but they just can't handle it. Therefore, Tian Huo's statement is not new. Chen Dao also knew this, he said: "Some people have mentioned this kind of statement, but he has further development."

He paused for a while, and then said: "Tian Huo believes that all the harmful viruses in the world exist in two situations: First, they accept the command of a power and obey this power to act!" This statement is a bit appalling. I said, "This is a fanciful idea." Chen Dao said: "I think so too, but if someone takes it seriously, it will form a terrible confrontation—humans versus bacteria and viruses, or tangible versus tangible confrontation. If that fanciful assumption is true, That is the confrontation between the visible and the invisible!" I smiled wryly: "With the tiny size of many viruses today, they are almost invisible!"

Chen Dao said: "Even if the virus is as small as infinitesimal, the 'infinitesimal' is still a value, and it is still tangible, and intangible is intangible!" I waved my hand: "Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now, what is the second idea?" Chen Dao said: "The second idea is that all the bacteria and viruses are not led by a force, but themselves, united and organized to form a large army, fighting against humans!" The United Army of Bacteria and Viruses! This is of course a fantasy. Everyone sighed in unison, and I said, "Tianhuo's imagination is extremely rich."

Chen Dao said: "Yes, after I heard it, I said the same thing about him, but his reaction was very strange." When Chen Dao said this, he paused for a while, and suddenly, with a look of enlightenment, he lost his voice: "Yes!" I asked, "What did you think of?" Chen Dao's expression was very anxious, as if he didn't know where to start. I hurriedly said: "No hurry, let's start from the beginning, otherwise, if the words are messed up, I won't be able to figure out a clue!" Chen Dao nodded again and again: "After I praised him for his rich imagination, he let out a long sigh and said: 'I told others about my vision, and almost everyone said I was rich in imagination, and if anyone disagreed, they would say that I am rich in imagination. My imagination has reached the point of insanity, but there is only one person who scoffed at the film and said that my vision was so superficial that I didn't catch the center at all, and I didn't even figure out what the most terrifying enemy was. Children are close to idiot-like fantasies. They don’t know that disasters are coming soon, and they still think that disasters will happen!’ When Tian Huo said this, he was very serious. I didn’t care at the time. Now that I think about it, the person he mentioned, It could very well be that 'her'!"

I nodded slowly: "Even if it wasn't, that person's words must have had a great impact on Tian Huo's heart." Bai Sudao: "I think Dr. Chen's conjecture is reasonable. There must be a person in Tian Huo's heart who he respects very much but also fears. That person is doing something. Tian Huo may know it in detail, or he may not know what this person is doing. What, Tian Huo is very contradictory. He wants to ask us for help, but he is afraid of revealing the secret of that person. Therefore, it can be inferred that there must be something shocking in the behavior of that person. One of the behaviors of that person , it may be head-stealing!"

Lan Si shouted: "From Tian Huo's body, we can find the head thief!" After she yelled, her expression immediately became very depressed. I know that she thought that even if the head robber was caught, it would not be of any help to her. It is also difficult for me to connect the loss of Master Wang's head with the behavior of the European head robber, but I always have a feeling that there is a certain connection between the two. I brought this up, and Lansi smiled wryly: "But, I can't find anything in common between the two things." Wen Baoyu said, "Yes! In both cases, someone lost his head!"

Lansi was a little annoyed: "The people who lost their heads in Europe are all dead, and Master—" When Wen Baoyu was arguing with others, as long as there was something to argue about, he would not let it go. At this time, he seemed to continue in his usual way, he said: "We don't know what is the use of the head thief stealing the head, but it must be useful, otherwise no one will steal the head for no reason. This can be assumed, stealing The dead heads don’t work well, so we have to steal the living heads instead—" Before he finished speaking, Lan Si, who had been immersed in the pain of losing a teacher, said angrily: "Cut off your head, it's the freshest and easy to use!"

Adding adjectives such as "easy to use" or "not easy to use" on the human head is really unimaginable, and only Wen Baoyu can say such words. However, after I thought about it, Wen Baoyu's words sound strange, but they are not untenable. First of all, he said that stealing heads must have a purpose, which is naturally true. Secondly, assuming that "dead heads" are inferior to "living heads" in some respects, this can also be true, because generally speaking, "living" is better than "dead". In that way, there can barely be a common ground between the two things, and they can be connected.

However, maybe even Wen Baoyu himself felt that this kind of connection was too forced, so when Lan Si scolded him, he shrank his head and didn't say anything else. Although I don't necessarily agree with Xiaobao's hypothesis, I agree on one point.I said: "It must be assumed that there is a certain connection between the two. Otherwise, why would we go after Tian Huo and the 'her' he said? That's not our business, Lan Si's business is our business .” Lansi looked at me gratefully.Bai Su also said: "Don't worry about dead heads and living heads, they are consistent on the point of 'missing heads'."

I smiled wryly and said: "We are also confused by strange things. There is no such term as 'living head' in the world. Once the head leaves the body, of course it is dead!" Wen Baoyu was scolded by Lansi for forgetting, and he came to argue again. It is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. He said: "That is also very different. There is always a difference between those who are cut alive and those who are dead. Don't say it's a human head, let's say it's a fish head, the fish head killed alive, and the head taken from a dead fish, boiled into a fish head casserole, the taste is very different." Wen Baoyu talked eloquently about the difference between a living head and a dead head, and took a fish head as an example. Although the words were sound, the effect was very poor and no one resonated with them.Lansi looked annoyed, Hong Ling clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Lansi said it long ago, your hair is the freshest and easy to use!" Wen Baoyu patted the back of his neck and said loudly: "Big head, fresh and easy to use, only for those who know the goods!" Of course, the words Wen Baoyu said were not created by him. They were the words of a heroic man in ancient times, under the belief that "a man should die for his confidant". Moreover, this kind of talk is not empty talk. There are really heroic people who sacrifice their lives to fulfill the wishes of others. At this time, Wen Baoyu learned to say this, of course, to show a sense of pride, which is a common behavior of young people. But after I heard it, my heart suddenly moved, and my thoughts were vaguely surging. I first thought that Master Guai Wang is a strange person, and strange people often do strange things, such as selling their heads to those who know the goods. It is not impossible for such strange things to happen to him. Because judging from the circumstances that happened, King Guai cut off his head himself, or had his head cut off and taken away. So, wouldn't there be a lot of meaning in the process of "selling the head to someone who knows the goods"? My heart was beating wildly, and I asked Lansi: "In the head drop technique, what is the special use of the human head?" When I asked this question, Lansi immediately knew what the intention was. She said: "In the head-down technique, the human head is very useful, but no one will cut off his own head and give it to others! Even if the master is grateful to someone, Or if you feel a deep confidant, you will not cut off your own head and give it to others!" Lansi's statement is naturally irrefutable. I looked at Xiaobao, and saw him open his mouth wide. I couldn't think of anything to refute. He just said: "At least, there is such a possibility!" Lan Si sighed: "I don't know!" Speaking of this, the phone rang, and it was Huang Tang who reported: "Tian Huo has arrived at the airport and bought a ticket to Singapore!" I was stunned: "He—" Huang Tang continued: "He disappeared in Singapore more than half a year ago. I saw that his arrival in Singapore was a smoke screen. He repeated his old tricks and wanted to return to the place where he disappeared." I said, "You're right, how to follow up after leaving the country?" Huang Tang said: "Please go out!" I didn't expect him to have such a proposal, so after thinking about it, I said, "Okay, I'll come as soon as possible, try to delay the flight, and arrange a seat next to him, I'll meet you at the airport, the slogan is: sell your head! " Huang Tang said: "What do you want slogans for?" I didn't answer him and ended the call. Fifty minutes later, when I stood in front of him and uttered the words "Sell your head", of course he knew the use of slogans, because after makeup, he would not be able to recognize them without slogans. Who am I! I grew a round beard and changed the shape of my face to look like a scholar, which is exactly what I disguised myself for. It's been a long time since I've done this kind of work, and this time I'm going to follow the field work, it's like blowing up a sparrow with a nuclear bomb, it's overkill.Because Tian Huo never expected that someone would follow him, and he was not prepared at all, so it was easy for me to get into the situation. Before the plane took off, I sat down next to him and said to him: "Ah, you are the one who interrupted Dr. Chen's speech at the meeting!" Tian Huo was immediately interested in me: "Are you a biologist attending the meeting?" With such a beginning, the conversation between me and him will naturally be much easier. During the several-hour voyage, I was not in a hurry, but just followed suit, and talked with him about the fanciful theory of bacteria and viruses, which made Tian Huo feel like seeing each other later, and even during the speech, I couldn't help but feel like I was too late. Deliberately imitating my Indian-style English to accommodate me-the card I gave him, the title is a professor of biology at a university in Sri Lanka. When it came to the greatest enemy of human beings, which is a virus so small that it can only be seen under a magnifying glass thousands of times, Tian Huo let out a series of calls to express his joy and attracted the rest of the passengers. , looking sideways at it. If I deliberately make friends like this, my behavior can't be considered noble, but in order to find out the truth, it can't be said to be unreasonable. When we arrived at the destination and left the airport, Tian Huo still held my hand and refused to let go. During those few hours of talking, I was sure that Tian Huo was a very straightforward and simple person. During the conversation, I also found that he wanted to tell me something impulsively several times, but finally held back. Speaking of the situation.Moreover, he was very sad about this situation, which meant that he really had a last resort, so he didn't say anything. But at this moment, to him, I was just a stranger whom I had only known for a few hours. He already had the willingness to tell me everything, and it was also evident how straightforward he was. So, at the exit of the airport, when he refused to let me go again and again, I couldn't bear it anymore. I really wanted to tell him that I was Wesley, and I didn't want to tease him anymore! However, thinking of Lansi's anxious expression, although as a clue, it is still extremely illusory, but this is the only way to follow, and I can't give up easily. The eighth time I expressed that I wanted to separate from him, Tian Huo sighed: "Mr. Wang, it is so late to meet you. You are so knowledgeable. I didn't have the chance to know you before. I really lived in this world for nothing!" Although his words were exaggerated, they were so sincere that no one doubted his sincerity. I hurriedly said, "You're flattering me too much. It's just that I have a lot of imaginations in this field, and I have more ideas, but I can't describe them in detail." Tian Huo jumped up: "That's great, Mr. Wang, I have a friend, this...friend...has a very appalling idea, would you like to meet him?" I thought to myself, Tian Huo really has no chest, I don't need to ask anything, I will send it to my door. I deliberately hesitated: "I only have three days in Singapore—" Tian Huo hurriedly said: "I will bring this friend to see you tomorrow!" I noticed that he did not use the pronoun of the third person when referring to "this friend", but I can already conclude that this friend must be the "she" he mentioned, that is a key person , of course I'd love to see you. Since he said he would bring me to see me, I didn't have to be impatient. I nodded and told him the hotel where I would stay, and then we parted at the hotel entrance. When I came here, I contacted Xiao Guo, and he sent two competent personnel, a man and a woman, to follow up the field work, and I also got in touch with colleagues in Singapore. Therefore, when Tian Huo took a taxi and left, at least three people had nailed him. I believe that Tian Huo will definitely go to meet that mysterious "her" immediately, so as soon as Tian Huo got in the car, I contacted Xiao Guo's subordinates through the communication device: "The target is to meet a person, a woman, That woman is the important target, please pay attention!" The answer I got was: "Please don't worry, I have contact with my local counterparts, and I will never get lost." However, when I got to the hotel and the report came, I was stunned. Xiao Guo's two subordinates were definitely smart and capable young talents, so the voices at this time were also very depressed. Their report was: "Mr. Wei, there was an accident in the tracking of the target. The target entered the embassy of a certain country. We can't follow it closely!" The "certain country" in their mouth shocked me first, because it was the country of Master Caiwang. Tian worked for half a year, but his whereabouts were unknown. In this way, he spent those half years in a certain country? Then, the matter between him and Master Guai Wang, isn't there another layer of connection, which also proves that we are right to follow his direction of action! This is a bit of an exciting development.However, when he entered the embassy, ​​things changed hands again. People in the embassy are naturally inaccessible! Xiao Guo's subordinates said again: "The local colleagues have retreated because they are afraid of causing trouble. What should we do?" What should I do?I can't help but smile wryly. It can be said that the tracking that was originally foolproof has been disconnected. I thought for a while and ordered: "You do everything possible to monitor near the embassy, ​​hoping that he will appear again, but don't act rashly!" I put down the phone, my thoughts were confused, but I got in touch with Lan Si immediately and told her about the situation. After Lansi heard this, she said "ah": "He is going to my country, no wonder he has been 'disappeared' for the past six months—" I also understood that Tian Huo must have used diplomatic privileges to travel back and forth between the country and Singapore, so there was no record at all-although the diplomatic plane had flight records, it was impossible to know who was on board. I lost my voice and said, "If that's the case, Tian Huo is going to meet, maybe it's a big shot?" Lansi said: "Without a doubt!" Her voice was very nervous: "I will go back to China immediately, I think there is something about Master's matter!" I was also very excited: "I will go as soon as possible, I want to be here first, to grasp the trend of field activities as much as possible." Lan Si said: "Yes, we'll see you over there!" I contacted Xiao Guo's subordinates again, and I went near the embassy myself.As soon as I joined Xiao Guo's two subordinates, I knew that it was impossible to follow Tian Huo from here! Because there are so many cars going in and out of the embassy, ​​and most of them are covered with curtains, it is impossible to see the situation in the cars clearly. Tian Huo can leave at any time, or he may have left soon after entering! I said to the man and the woman: "Okay, you guys go back!" The two of them had no objection, and turned around to leave. I could see that they were dissatisfied with me. Sure enough, they started discussing after walking not far.One said: "Hmph, I thought that working with Wesley would have some earth-shattering experience. Who knew it would be so bland and boring." The other said: "No, it's really tasteless!" The voice of their conversation was quite low, but I still heard it, so I naturally had to laugh it off—won’t it be possible to argue with them? Even if I lose track of Tianhuo, I'm not in a hurry, because he said that within three days, he will bring his "friend" to see me, and I just need to wait in the hotel. It didn't take three days. On the second day, I waited for Lansi and Wen Baoyu. As soon as the two entered the room, Wen Baoyu said loudly: "That guy, guess what, where did he go?" I glared at him: "First, I don't guess, and second, I don't want you to say it, let Lansi say it!" Wen Guanyu made a grimace and kept silent. Lansi said: "As soon as I received your message, I will go back to China. I have done some tricks on that guy so that I can know his whereabouts. Once he arrives, I will know that he has entered the palace!" I wasn't very surprised, but there was something hard to understand. I said, "This guy said he wanted to bring someone to see me. He must go to see that person immediately. Could it be that person is in the palace?" I told how I and Tian lived on the plane and became a "confidant", and Lan Si slowly took a breath: "Yes, that guy's 'friend' is in the palace!" I asked: "What is the identity of that person?" Lansi didn't answer, Wen Baoyu interjected again: "This person is a woman, so you don't need to consider his identity as a man." Lansi said: "In the imperial palace, there are hundreds of female identities, which cannot be guessed out of thin air." Wen Baoyu said: "That guy will bring 'her' anyway, so there's no need to guess now!" Lansi's expression was very solemn: "If Master's death is also related to the palace—" When she said this, she paused and didn't say anything more. I also had a dark feeling in my heart, so I hurriedly reminded her: "Lansi, don't forget what your cousin Su said, according to her analysis, there is no 'enemy' in this kind of thing!" Lansi took a deep breath: "But, my master is dead, and not the whole body!" I know that if Lansi believes that there is an enemy, and the enemy is related to the palace, then the matter will be even bigger. In the palace, there are many decapitated masters escorting them. Lansi and her brothers want to avenge their master. A shocking battle, and Lansi and the others will definitely lose! At this time, even Wen Baoyu felt something was wrong, he pursed his lips and remained silent.I said again: "It's better to think more about it!" Lansi said in a deep voice: "Of course, but if the master was really killed by the palace, no matter how powerful the opponent is, I must avenge the master!" I sighed: "Did you forget to guess what Master Wang ordered before you retreated? Treat it with a normal heart!"
