Chapter XXIII
Renaud turned his gaze back to the artifact.
He asked, "Why do you want to store holy things in this way?" ”
"You don't know?" Fernand was surprised: "The holy relic is a body of energy and cannot be touched directly. ”
"What happens if you touch it directly?"
Fernand grabbed a guinea pig from the nearby research table and threw it in the direction of the relic.
The mouse passed through the magnetic field and hit the holy object, and heard it let out a terrible scream, every hair on its body stood up, and its body swelled in an instant, becoming like a wild boar, with long fangs sticking out of its mouth, and its claws becoming as sharp as knives, looking hideous and ugly, making people tremble.
But just as it was about to rush down and tear everyone alive, the white giant rat suddenly exploded with a thud, scattering scattered flesh and blood all over the room.
Renault raised his hand and activated his telekinesis, and the bloody pieces of flesh seemed to hit a piece of glass, slamming into a halt in mid-air, and then falling to the ground.
Putting down his hand, Renault asked, "How can I use it?" I need all the information about it. ”
"It's in my hands." Fernand pulled out a black storage: "As long as you're willing to let us go, it's yours." ”
Renault made a move, and the memory flew into his hand.
Fernand was dumbfounded.
Renault took the memory and looked at it: "There is no doubt about it, Mr. Fernand, you are a good scientist, a filthy ** molecule, and at the same time a failed negotiator...... You don't even know how to threaten people. ”
President Daniel immediately said, "Fernande did something stupid, but I'm not stupid, Mr. Renault." I know threats don't make sense to you, so I'm not going to do anything. There is no hatred between you and me, and I believe we can sit down and talk. Considering your current situation, it definitely makes much more sense to befriend a consortium than to offend one. ”
Renault ignored him, just plugged the memory into the terminal, and then connected the wire: "Ike, receive the data, analyze the content, and report the situation at any time." ”
"Roger, data receiving." Virus answers.
After doing this, Renault looked at the president: "I have a question." ”
"Speak, please." Daniel's attitude was respectful.
"If the relics can be used to save the dying, why don't the big people in the federal government use it to save themselves?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Daniel's face: "The police are only a deterrent to civilians, Mr. Renault. Maybe in your eyes, the big people in the government are the top of human society, but in our eyes, they are just dogs that serve us. Power can't be hereditary, wealth can, control wealth, and you control power. ”
Speaking of this, Daniel paused before continuing: "Whether it is the president or the parliamentarians, their financial resources are actually limited...... Accepting bribes can make you rich, but it never makes you the richest at the top. Therefore, they actually don't have that much money to buy the energy of the holy relics, and it is impossible for them to possess it directly. And because of their special status, they are not suitable for those things either. Once people discover the secret of their immortality...... Believe me, Mr. Reynolds, even if the relics give eternal life to those who have no private lives, it is only natural that someone will take it away again. In this regard, as a public figure, it is wisest not to use his brain from the beginning. Anyway, it's a 5% chance, so why take the risk? ”
"But life is always full of temptations, and no one tries to fight it?"
"Of course, there will always be people who can't think of it." Daniel spread his hands: "That's why there are so many assassinations." ”
Renault didn't say anything more, just looked back at the artifact.
He asked, "How do I take it?" ”
President Daniel pointed to a tall metal box in the corner: "That's a magnetic box, just put the box there, control the magnetic field and send it into the box." ”
It was exactly the same as the box that the Abrody used to store the Zero target, but it was smaller than the Abrody, presumably because of the small size of the relic, which shows that Daniel was not lying.
Renault walked over and opened the box.
Daniel said, "You have to put the box in the middle of the magnetic field. ”
Then he saw Renault make a gesture at the relic, which was slowly flying towards the box.
Daniel kept his mouth shut.
Psychokinesis!
He hadn't thought that telekinesis could be used like this, and in fact, neither did Renault.
When he used his telekinesis to control the holy relics, he thought it wouldn't work, but he didn't expect things to be unexpectedly simple. In the process of control, instead of feeling the lack and emptiness of energy consumption, Renault felt a kind of mental growth after the excess, as if ...... The feeling of the hungry encountering food.
However, this feeling disappeared as the relic entered the chest.
To be precise, it was the energy of the holy object that was cut off by the magnetic field, and Renault could no longer feel it. At that moment, he wanted to take the holy relic out immediately, but he still forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart and slowly closed the box.
The virus has controlled two handling robots to come automatically, lift the boxes, but do not leave.
They were waiting for Renault's orders.
Renault looked at Daniel, and the president's heart skipped a beat, but he replied with a smile on his face: "You got what you wanted, Mr. Renault." I'm sure you won't do meaningless things. All you have to do is leave here with the box, close the door again, and you're done. Trust me, Mr. Renault, I won't cause you any trouble. ”
Renaud looked at Daniel deeply, never spoke, and saw the president's heart furious.
After a long time, Renault said, "Mr. Reiken, I must admit that you have been in a very cooperative state since I came in, and considering that what you say is the truth, I personally think that there is really no reason to be difficult with you." ”
Hearing this, Daniel let out a long sigh of relief.
"But I don't know why, I always feel something. I don't think you're as sincere as you are, and you seem to be hiding something from me. Renault suddenly changed his tune.
Daniel was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Captain Renault, I definitely don't mean to expire you, this illusion may come from nervousness, you and I both know that sometimes emotional tension can cause some nervousness, oh I don't mean you, I mean me, too nervous emotions may make me not behave very well, thus causing you to misunderstand." ”
"Yes." Renault said lightly.
He looked at Fernand and suddenly said, "It's you who have been cooperating all along, not our director, Mr. Maybe I should kill him and leave you behind. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his gun on Fernand.
This action frightened the old director.
He fell to his knees.
Daniel was also stupid, he didn't expect Renault to do this at all. At this moment, Renault's moody and murderous mood completely subverted his previous understanding of Renault, but it is not surprising that his collection of information about Renault was improvised, and the huge amount of information has not even allowed him to digest it until now.
"Don't do that!" Fernand had already shouted: "I'm also very cooperative, but Daniel has said everything, and I can't interject." I'm still useful, don't kill me! ”
"Yes." Renault looked at Fernand.
He suddenly smiled and withdrew the gun: "Just kidding, don't mind." ”
Fernand and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief together.
Renault waved his hand and motioned for the two robots to move the box out of the room first.
He grabbed the door, intending to close it again.
As Daniel said, as long as the door is closed, no one will trouble him again, and he can leave calmly with the holy relics.
Seeing Renault's hand on the door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this moment, Renault suddenly turned around: "Oh, by the way, there is a question I would like to ask Director Fernand." ”
"What's the matter?" Fernand asked, he just wanted the fierce god to leave sooner, and whatever Renault asked him he would answer immediately.
Renault asked, "What did the Santiago family exchange for?" ”
Fernand instinctively pointed behind Daniel: "It's the ...... man"
The words came to an abrupt end.
