"Gregory is not a gay man, but a real madman, bestiality and homosexual-"

The captain in a good mood smiled and handed a cigarette. This seemingly ordinary behavior made Lin Xiang feel a little cramped and uncomfortable. In his impression, Captain Sok should be an old-style bureaucrat with a cold appearance and a rigid mind. The word "smile" seems to never appear on him.

"I don't like that guy either."

When he lit the cigarette, the captain sucked his lips a few times. He smacked his lips and said, "According to the relevant regulations, beating superior officials must be in confinement or whipping. Especially for a mercenary like you who only holds the rank of ordinary skeleton warriors, he can even shoot you directly or recycle it into nutritional compounds. However, you are very good at choosing the time and place. In addition, this guy has always had a bad reputation among ordinary people. Therefore, no one is willing to come out to prove what happened last night. In the gendarmerie record, he also regards this as the self-harm behavior of Lieutenant Gregory after being drunk... I have to say that your luck is really good."

Lin Xiang did not mess with this issue more. He changed his mind and asked, "Is the executive Lord Afura back? I wonder what she is going to talk about when she sees me?"

"You will know soon-"

The expression on the captain's face also became serious again with the topic. He took a sip of cigarettes, letting the thick smoke linger in his lungs, as if he wanted to use this method to soak every blood vessel and nerves thoroughly. Until the last trace of oxygen stored in the alveoli was exhausted, he spit out the stuffy nicotine, stood up from behind the desk, patted his slightly wrinkled military uniform, and said, "Let's go! At this time, Lord Afura has already started working. It is not a good habit to let people wait for a long time."

...

The Central Building of Crescent City has three floors, radiating under the dark sky covered with clouds. This building has the same light gray tone, continuing the style of the old era and without any decoration on the outside. From one direction, it makes people feel depressed and dull.

The Skeleton Knights' rank is very strict, and Lin Xiang has never stepped on the third floor of the building. He followed the short and strong Captain Sok up the stairs and walked through the empty corridor. The hollow sound of leather boots hitting the wooden floor echoed repeatedly on the cold walls.

At the end of the corridor are two semi-arched doors that are closed left and right. The wooden facade is carved with beautiful Baroque patterns, the brass handles exudes a lubricated metallic luster. A steel nameplate is hung at the top of the door beam, with a string of tilted letters engraved on it - "City Lord Office".

Standing at the door, Captain Sok held his head up, tidied up the collar and cuffs of the army, with the usual serious expression on his face, stretched out his right hand and knocked respectfully on the door.

"Come in--"

A gentle female voice came from the door, and Captain Sok, who received the order, twisted the handrail hard, pushed the door open a gap enough for people to enter and exit, and led Lin Xiang into it with great strides.

This is a room with an area of ​​about 100 square meters. In addition to the common closets, tables and chairs in the office, the most common one is the large number of plants distributed in every corner of the room.

Their appearance is very similar to the ornamental plants in the old era in Lin Xiang's memory, such as green ivy, dragon blood trees, kari vines, and Clivia... Due to radiation, their shapes are slightly different from those of the ancestors a hundred years ago, but they do not affect the ornamentality. These vibrant plants are planted in white porcelain pots. The damp soil has obviously just been watered, and the whole room is filled with the unique freshness of plants. At first glance, this room does not seem to be an office with serious atmosphere, but rather is a green greenhouse.

A middle-aged woman with a slightly fat figure and about forty years old stood next to the closet and carefully repaired a dead branch of a plant nearly half a human tall with scissors. What surprised Lin Xiang was that this woman, who should belong to the top of the Knights and had yellow skin and black hair, did not wear a straight uniform like other skeleton knights, but was wearing a loose long gray dress with European style. With the white bib tied to her chest, her appearance had no connection with the cruel and cold-blooded Skeleton Knight. She looked like a housewife who had been working for many years.

Appearance is not the same as reality.

Although the woman looked kind, Lin Xiang could feel the parasitic aura as strong as the seven-star level from her.

"Soke, thank you for bringing him over." Cut off the last extra branch on the surface of the plant, the woman turned around and smiled at Captain Soke who was standing opposite the table, "When you go out, remember to close the door."

The captain nodded, bent down and bowed deeply, and turned around and walked out of the room with a serious expression.

"Sit, young man. Relax, just like in your own home." The woman pulled over a chair and sat down, smiled and pointed to the chair opposite, reached out to take a beautiful flat metal box from the shelf next to her, opened the lid, and handed it to Lin Xiang.

The box contained some small squares wrapped in blue and white paper. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiang picked up a piece from it, peeled off the surface and packaged it, revealing a white blocky substance that emitted a sweet fragrance.

This is a beautifully made milk candy.

"Eating candy is beneficial to help the brain think. This is what I made with double-headed milk and beet juice. Haha! In the words of the old days, no industrial raw materials were added, and it was a pure green natural food." The woman smiled kindly, maybe to dispel Lin Xiang's concerns! She picked up a piece of candy, peeled off the candy paper, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Lin Xiang smiled mockingly, put the candy cubes in his hand into his mouth and chewed them slowly. This is the base of the Skeleton Knights. If you really want to deal with yourself, you don’t need to poison food or other means.

"Sir Aphra, what's the matter with me?" After the simple opening remark, Lin Xiang began to go straight to the point.

The woman didn't say anything. She picked up a cup containing hot water on the table and took a few sips, as if thinking about how to answer the question.

"Since you first came to Crescent City, I really wanted to meet you in person. Due to time and affairs, I have never had a chance. In fact, if it weren't for Claude, I wouldn't have squeezed out this half day. How to say... Before answering your question, I think you should take a look at this first."

As he said that, Afura took out a document marked "top secret" from the drawer and handed it to Lin Xiang.

The document feels very thick, and there are probably not many pages inside. When I open the cover with a black skull pattern, Lin Xiang's pupils suddenly shrink when his eyes come into contact with the homepage of the document content.

The page form is a standard old-age personal file form. From the order of the upper left corner, the content involved is complete from age, origin, date of birth to resume. The attached page at the back shows the status of meritorious service and various related records, which are very detailed and have no omissions.

In the name column, Lin Xiang's name is filled in Chinese.

Lin Xiang's avatar is printed in the rectangular mullet about the size of an inch in the upper right corner of the paper page.

The date of birth, origin, resume, is exactly in line with his own history.

Just above the entire page, there is a line of standard printed digital characters - "Citizen Archives of the People's Republic of China"

The document is a copy of text, and the photo is also a black and white color with a lot of gray stripes. Obviously, this is something that was taken with a camera, reprinted and enlarged, and reorganized.

A dense cold sweat penetrated from Lin Xiang's forehead. Although he tried his best to control his emotions and tried to show ease and indifference, he could not suppress the instinctive reflex in the state of terrifying nerves of the brain.

"Lin Xiang was originally affiliated with the Sixth Battalion of the 75th Infantry Division, and under his jurisdiction, the second-class private of the 16th combat team. He was the only survivor of the entire division in the Kunming operation. Later, due to his outstanding military achievements, he was specially promoted to the rank of at least the lieutenant and transferred to the jurisdiction of the 64th mobile unit. He performed outstandingly in the defense battle and many battles in Chengdu, and was promoted to the lieutenant colonel. He won the first-class military medal, the war wounded medal, the national guardian medal and many honorary titles. He also saved the entire military base with his own strength in the final battle, and was posthumously recognized as a "national hero" and was posthumously awarded the rank of brigadier general."

Alfra had a shallow fish tail mark on the corner of her eyes, and her thick and shiny black hair lingers behind her head into the most common style of housewives. Although her eyes have single eyelids, they are very delicate and bright. The bridge of her nose is slightly raised, and her slightly loose lips always keeps a smile. In terms of appearance alone, it is no different from the kind aunt next door in the old era.

Her voice was very soft, her speech was not fast, and she had no aggressive momentum in her tone and language. However, the more she did this, Lin Xiang felt unprecedented fear.

In that era when he was destroyed by a nuclear explosion, although he had never seen his own files, Lin Xiang understood that the content displayed on this thin sheet of paper was no different from his experience. This made him feel that every inch of his body was stripped naked, and all the hidden places were exposed to the sun, allowing others to watch and explore at will.

The secret that had been hidden for a whole century was still dug out... Lin Xiang's hand holding the folder began to tremble. He didn't know how many things he thought were absolutely secrets were already known and could be read casually on the desktop?

A strong chill instantly penetrated Lin Xiang's whole body. The murderous intent transformed from fear suddenly emerged from the depths of the brain's subconscious mind, filling the entire thinking space, stimulating every nerve in his body, and even dyeing the entire eye socket into a shocking blood red.

Kill Aphra.

Destroy all files.

Escape from this damn city as fast as possible.

In the flash of lightning, a choice of solutions flashed quickly in the brain, and the content and action methods were full of violence and blood. At this time, there was no such thing as wisdom or stupidity, just as the human body would subconsciously make obstructions or avoidance actions when encountering external collisions or hits. Lin Xiang's current thinking state was completely instinctive. The brain dominated by chaos and despair could not make rational thinking and judgments at all, and could only make decisions to escape or resist based on the most primitive and barbaric nature of animals.

Fortunately, this situation lasted for a short time, only a few seconds. Lin Xiang kept suppressing the urge to kill people, and used the last trace of remaining awakening to desperately control these impulses that were enough to push things to the worst outcome.

This is the Crescent City, the base guarded by the Skeleton Knights. Although the blood of the "claw" killer Chen Peng is integrated into the body, allowing him to successfully possess the powerful power of the Seven-Star Parasite, Lin Xiang is not sure that he can rush out of the city.

Captain Sok notified himself yesterday to meet with the executive Aphra, which means that they have plenty of time to arrange various traps targeting them.

There are many powerful players in the Skeleton Knights. No matter how thousands of well-equipped skeleton warriors are, just sitting opposite the woman with the power of seven stars, is enough to fight against him. Of course, he may not lose the battle result, but who knows whether there is still a higher and stronger presence in this city than her? Not to mention anything else, the city lord Weber, who has always been famous but has never seen him, is the biggest threat...

Lin Xiang's body temperature began to slowly drop, his crazy desire to fight was replaced by reason, his tight muscles began to soften, and the redness in his eyes gradually returned to the original black. His whole body became completely calm. If this body might burst into a violent hungry lion at any time a few seconds ago, then it has now completely transformed into a fox who is highly alert, calm on the surface, and does not let the opponent feel threatened at all, and is also quickly calculating various coping strategies in his mind.

Since Afura dared to hand over this document to her, she must have some later things that she had not finished. Regardless of the final result, Lin Xiang felt that she should listen to what the other party said first.

"You are very smart. I always thought you were that person. Now it seems that I was wrong, but Cloud was right."

Aphra, who saw everything, continued to sip the water in her cup. A sunny smile always hung on her face, and her gentle smile even made her face faintly glow.

"That person?" Lin Xiang grabbed the most critical part of her words very keenly.

"There is something I always find very strange-"

Aphra did not answer his question, but instead directed the topic directly to the aspects he was interested in: "I can't sense the biological aura that a mutant should have from you, but based on the current information, your personal strength is at least above level 5 evolutionary people. Why does this happen?"

Lin Xiang was silent for a moment and shook his head lightly: "About this... I also want to understand it. The problem is that I can't find the answer."

"So, how strong are your specific strength now?" Aphra went straight to the core of the question.

"The level six evolution may be able to break through level seven soon."

After a brief hesitation, Lin Xiang added: "In fact, being able to evolve to the level of level 6 is also the result of Lieutenant Colonel Claude's help. When we escaped the Ruins of No. 96 together, he led me out of the encirclement of those monsters in an explosion form. At that time, part of the power was instilled into my body. Although it was very rare, it helped me a lot."

"So that's what it is..."

Thoughtful Aphra nodded lightly and did not continue to delve into this issue.

For her, Lin Xiang is a mystery.

Identity, origin, and everything is like this. Although Cloud has always been wise and has never had a precedent for recommending people wrong, his past experience cannot be correct forever. Without thoroughly understanding Lin Xiang's actual identity and real purpose, Alfra dares not take risks, nor will she take risks.

But then again, a mutant who has level 6 evolution ability but does not emit the aura of superpowers at all, whether in the Skeleton Knights, the Doctors Association, the Red Republican Army, or other similar "claws" or even large family institutions, she has encountered this unique example for the first time.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this special reason that Cloud recommended a young man who had just met for a while to himself... Indeed, if used properly, this physical characteristic of not being able to be exposed is enough to become a good chess that can be used in the dark and unattended at any time and receive unexpected results.

But before this, Alfra had to determine the most critical issue.

"As far known research data show that except for high-level parasites infected with viruses and produced genetic mutations, no one can survive in a radiation-filled environment, and it is even more impossible to have a lifespan of nearly a hundred years without seeing old age - what method did you use to avoid that terrible nuclear explosion and live until now?"

Aphra has always been reluctant to believe that Lin Xiang in front of him is Lin Xiang in history.
