Quantico

As Detective Roland returned to the office with his coffee and chicken burrito to continue the grueling investigation of "Bloodthirsty Lilith," the door slammed like a spring. was opened.

A young man rushed out covering his mouth like a cannonball. His figure was staggering, but his movements were fast. His uncontrollable retching sound echoed in the corridor.

Detective Roland looked away from the unlucky young man's back, then raised his eyebrows.

He turned his head and saw his colleagues standing by the computer just like when he left, but everyone's face was as pale as a ghost.

Oh, this is kind of funny.

Roland thought to himself.

He walked into the office and put coffee on the table.

"This cup is decaf. If anyone needs it, I can kindly let it out."

He said to the group that they did look like they needed some hot drinks.

However, no one accepted his offer.

"Oh, thanks, Roland, but I don't think anyone would want a drink..."

Someone explained it dumbly.

Detective Roland frowned: "It seems that the situation is not good. Is there any problem with that video?"

he asked.

As someone who has dealt with the most horrific crimes in the United States all year round, anyone who can sit in this office can be described as "battle-hardened". It doesn't make much difference to say that criminals who have been dehumanized.

The same cold blood, the same numbness.Of course, it was this cold-bloodedness and numbness that brought him calmness, and calmness allowed him to find those criminals.

He had never seen his colleagues show such a strange state in the process of handling a case. Each of them looked like they were forced to send their souls to hell for a circle.

Someone put the headset in his hand and pointed to the computer screen.

"You'll know where the problem is when you read it."

The FBI almost caught the serial killer code-named "Lilith" not long ago, and when they arrived, the blood soaked the carpet was even warm. "Lilith" still cunningly escaped, but they were not without success - they found a video in a working video camera.

In almost the first second after seeing that video, the agents on the front line sent it back to Quantico pleading for help.

Roland sat in his seat and clicked on the video.

The footage is very steady, proving that the camera was filmed at a steady angle.

The first thing Roland heard was a gentle woman's voice...

"Hey, it's your birthday today, why don't you smile for the camera?"

A woman in a long dress steps gracefully into the center of the picture (it must be admitted that her posture and her voice make you never associate her with the word serial killer), holding her hand. A boy with mild albino features.

That was the boy who had already caused a sensation across the country, Rand Sievers. Roland recognized him immediately. Beside him, another boy ran around smiling.

"Lilith" came over and raised the camera.

A close-up of Rand Sievers appeared in Roland's vision.

From the perspective of a kidnapped child, he is in good condition now. His clothes are clean and his appearance has been carefully repaired. The attitude of "Lilith" towards him is even more gentle and kind to an unreasonable level.However, at the first moment, Roland noticed that there was something wrong with this boy.

He watched Rand Sievers being led like a puppet to the center of the room, next to a large neoclassical bed.

On that bed, a young man was handcuffed to the bedposts all four limbs, his mouth was gagged, and his young face was covered with sweat.When he saw "Lilith" and her children appearing beside the bed, the intense fear caused his whole body to struggle crazily like an electric shock, and he began to cry, whining with difficulty the sound of……

Even through the screen, Agent Roland could smell the extreme fear and despair of that person from the deformed picture.

However, facing such a scene, Rand Sievers, the "little prince" who was a high-ranking "little prince" not long ago and had never experienced any suffering in the world, did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Roland couldn't help replaying that detail again. He observed Rand's expression, but he could only be more sure of his judgment: no emotion, no touch, no matter whether it was negative or positive, the child didn't show any emotion Performance.

He is like a statue or a toy, the eyes on the pale cheeks are like second-hand dolls in the window, like glass beads without any soul in them.Compared with Rand, the boy on the other side, although also very weird, was far less terrifying than Rand.

The boy was lying on the bed and looking at the man with a smile on his face. He licked his lips and poked the man's eyeballs with his fingers as if he had encountered an interesting toy.

"Don't close your eyes, or I'll take your eyeballs out of their sockets with a spoon."

He spoke to the man as he tried to close his eyes.

The man's face was covered with tears and snot, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Hey, Rand, I heard there's a cornea on the eyeball. Do you think a human fingernail can pick it off the eyeball?"

The little devil boy turned to Rand and said.

……

Rand still stood there silently and numbly, without any response.

There is literally no soul in his body.

"Rodgers, don't do that. Don't forget that today is Rand's birthday. It's still useful for me to keep his eyes."

"Lilith" dissuaded the boy named "Rogers".

However, the man lying on the bed seemed even more desperate.

He started to struggle again, and "Lilith" slapped him with some annoyance, and then used scissors to cut open the 200-count wool suit on his body.

The man showed his original appearance in front of the three people.

"Lilith" put the camera on the head of the bed and checked the camera angle. She pulled both children in front of the camera and shouted "Happy Birthday" together with the desperate young man as the background.

Then she twisted the man's genitals with one hand, and deftly cut open his vaginal sac with a dagger, squeezing out the two pale gray balls—like prying them open. As easy as an oyster.Then "Lilith" skillfully stitched up that small wound.

"You should try this," she said with some blood sticking to her fingers, and then she handed the two gadgets to Rand's mouth. "You know, this is probably the only thing left on a man that is useful."

Rand was still staring straight ahead numbly, with some blood on his lips, but he didn't speak.

Rogers rushed over like a puppy: "Give it to me, Mom, Rand doesn't like this."

He said flatteringly, "Lilith" pampered his head, and finally they divided the two pills equally in front of the man.

The man was gasping wildly, his throat... or his lungs making strange noises.He began to cry and vomit, but days of captivity prevented him from throwing up anything.

However, the real party has not yet begun.

"Happy birthday, let's cut the cake."

He heard Lilith say to the white ghostly child.

"Lilith" gave him some local anesthetic ointment, on the abdomen, and then she took Rand's hand in hers and slashed open the man's abdomen with a scalpel.

This luxury apartment was used to let the young man and his girlfriend have a pleasant vacation before. The mirror they laid directly above the bed, which used to be a good and interesting thing, has now become the A true nightmare for men.

He watched as his abdominal cavity was opened, and the blood flowed out...flowed out...almost dyed the whole world red...but "Lilith" gave him some weird powder, and he found that he couldn't even Pass out like this.

All he could do was watch, and keep watching.

"Crack-"

Agent Roland pressed the mouse button abruptly.

Video is paused.

He ripped the headset off his head and threw it on the desk.He gasped for air, trying to maintain his superficial calmness, but he had to admit that when he saw this, his heart was beating wildly because of the extreme indignation.

"I don't remember the man in the picture of the victim..."

He murmured.

"Yes, he's not dead." Someone answered him dryly, "That's Mick Brewster...he's still in a coma."

Mick Brewster...

Detective Roland rubbed the bridge of his nose, and he immediately remembered the survivor.

He even visited him in the hospital, but he didn't even realize it after watching this video.

Before this, he always thought that this playboy was an extremely lucky guy, his liver was cut in half, but when "Lilith" cut off the remaining half of his liver, the police arrived.

"Lilith" is a terrifying murderer, but on the other hand, her medical training made her cuts precise and stable. She didn't even make any extra incisions, and the amount of bleeding was kept under control. Well, that's the key to Mick Brost's survival.

Detective Roland always felt that this was another part of luck, but after watching the video, he felt that this might be a nightmare that the man would never wake up from.

"That woman is a lunatic, a total lunatic."

He couldn't help but say.

"Of course, everyone knows this, but the experience of studying and working at Shenbai Technology in medical school makes her more dangerous than ordinary lunatics."

Their chief came in at this time and said through the interface.

"Boss!"

A piece of information was left in front of everyone, and Boss spoke expressionlessly.

"We're going to Washington—we've got a brand new piece of information. The real name of 'Lilith' is Lena Mekinson, the chief developer of the first laboratory of Deep White Biotechnology..."

"what?"

"Is this a joke or something..."

……

Almost everyone couldn't believe their ears.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Detective Roland stood up abruptly, looking at the information on the table in shock.

"I remember this name. When I investigated Charmian Sievers, his background report showed that he had applied for a restraining order against a woman when he was in medical school..."

"That's right, Lena Makinson was deeply 'obsessed' with Charmian Sievers, who was already engaged at the time, and the methods she used were very intense, and her stalking and harassment of him bothered him very much... It wasn't until three years later that Lina got Charmian's understanding through some means, and the prohibition order was lifted. She even got a corporate bursary from Shenbai Technology to complete all her studies, and then directly entered Shenbai after graduation. ..."

"However, six years ago, after she had a miscarriage due to domestic violence, she began to behave erratically...the harassment of Charmian resurfaced, and she claimed that Rand Sievers was her child-this even nearly caused Charmian's family Crisis, the latter finally couldn't bear to fire her, and there were quarrels and fights at that time-this was the last time she showed up...God!" The person exclaimed, and she quickly flipped through the thick stack of materials, " She miscarried twins, and one of them survived!"

Someone else took the folder, and from it he picked up a photograph of Lena Makinson, a woman with too pale skin and light hair—a slight albinism.

"I think we know why she abducted Rand Sievers."
