[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

As Ulrich's leisurely and mocking voice fell, there was a burst of applause outside the door.

BAU was startled, and turned his head to look at the door in the same movement.

There were only three people who still maintained their indifferent expressions - Tim, Leo, and Ulrich.The three people looked at each other, and at the same time saw a wry smile from each other's indifferent expressions.

As a handsome man walked in the door of BAU's temporary office, he was wearing the military uniform of a second lieutenant, but this did not compromise his general demeanor at all.

With a smile on the corner of Lieutenant General Robert's mouth, he looked at the people present from above his hooked nose, and applauded lightly, with the unique momentum of a soldier.

"Very beautiful reasoning, very beautiful."

Everyone in the BAU looked at the sudden appearance of the supreme leader of the army here. They had already realized that this high-ranking old guy was probably the mastermind of this series of murders!

Of course, this does not require a lieutenant general to do it himself - everyone in this base is a puppet manipulated by his subordinates, and it is quite simple to solve a voluntary sacrifice.

Lieutenant General Robert praised the BAUs from the bottom of his heart. Finally, his eyes fixed on Leo's face. The latter's cold gaze did not shift at all, in front of this person. Leo didn't show any weakness.

Lieutenant General Robert spoke slowly, every word filled with compliments and praises: "I have always admired you very much, young master of the Harrington family, even if you take off this family's surname, your own brilliance will not be diminished in the slightest."

Leo bowed hypocritically: "Then, I have always underestimated your charm—look at it, the entire military base, tens of thousands of people, worship you as a god-like existence—they are even willing to do you a favor Pay your life for realistic illusions."

The little doctor swung his head back and forth between the two people who completely ignored the others and talked to themselves, and finally he took a step forward cautiously, blocking Leo's front.

For the first time, sharp hostility appeared in the eyes of this gentle little doctor—that had never appeared in his clear eyes.

The lion laughed, with a sense of pride and emotion, he pulled the little doctor behind him with one hand, then groped under the conference table with one hand, and tore off a thin piece of tape: "Quite advanced wiretapping equipment. "

Everyone was surprised by the BAU. This is a gadget that no one has ever noticed-who would have thought that this thing that looks like a piece of ordinary tape is a bug?

But this finally explained why Lieutenant General Robert could still hear their speculation and analysis clearly in the situation just now.

Lieutenant General Robert laughed indifferently, but it couldn't stop the smoldering look in his eyes, which made him look even more like an eagle.

"You are too smart, too smart Leo." The lieutenant general paused: "If I didn't do this, I would have been caught by you a long time ago. You know, I have to make sure I hear every word All your profiling and reasoning, in order to adjust the next step plan."

Leo accepted this disguised compliment with a deadpan face.

Lieutenant General Robert smiled: "But I know that the person you have been suspicious of is me. Since you saw the book "Beyond Good and Evil" in Reed's office, your keen sixth sense has locked on to me, right? "

Leo nodded casually, looking at the lieutenant general with some kind of indescribable pity and nostalgia: "People who have been immersed in their own goals can't see the surrounding scenery, lieutenant general."

On the face of the lieutenant general, there was a kind of tiredness that only people who have reached their age said: "But this is what I have to do in my lifetime, and it is the only thing, otherwise, where should I go?"

Leo whispered: "You pay too much attention to your goals, but you miss the changes in the world, which makes you lose the opportunity to retreat. Similarly, you don't know that the world no longer needs your goals."

The lieutenant general was noncommittal, and sighed after a while: "Yes, human beings are always so fickle...including you, Leon. , but the scenery on the side of the road has confused your eyes, you are no longer yourself!"

Lieutenant General Robert looked at the little doctor who was guarded by Leo with special meaning, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes, and then a look of pity.

The little doctor only felt that the gaze cast on him carried the coldness and viciousness unique to reptiles, and even that bit of regretful emotion was like a cold-blooded creature that would lose sight of the delicious meal that was in its mouth. The expression that appears.

Leo blocked his little doctor calmly, and at the same time pinched the little doctor's icy fingers, and the latter gently scratched the lion's paw, signaling - I'm fine.

Lieutenant General Robert's expression made everyone in the BAU finally realize one thing - this man is already crazy, but his gentle manner makes him look normal, but his heart has long been distorted.

Robert still stared at Dr. Reid with salivating eyes: "Look, he was once a perfect experimental subject, smart, amazing memory, and very talented! But you proved him to be a waste with your own—excellent killing, so You have come, among us..."

Leo interrupted the lieutenant general indifferently: "I have never been among you people, but I know that you are watching me all the time, you are waiting...waiting for me to fight for power, look at a long-term leader in such an environment What did the big test piece end up like?"

Lieutenant General Robert shrugged regretfully: "But you didn't go in the same direction as we expected. Although you and your companions were completely in line with the experiment's idea at the beginning, you deviated. You brought a man named Don Quixote The organization of virtue..."

Leo was expressionless: "You never thought that the Don Quixote organization exists to deal with people like you?"

"If this is the case, I'm sorry. I thought you..." The lieutenant general shifted his gaze to Tim: "I thought you were the most perfect, but I was disappointed."

Tim sneered: "Then who do you think looks good now?"

Leo hugged the little doctor in his arms: "Him? Of course, when your hidden hints appeared in front of him again and again, you have already set your goal, right? A person who is not strong, but smart enough."

The lieutenant general showed an inexplicable smile: "Before monitoring you group of people, I was more inclined to Dr. Reid behind you, but... You understand, of course, this is also caused by you - you interrupted The plan of the U.S. Military Department. They began to say, why not a candidate with strong skills, superior IQ, and a big family background?"

Leo laughed ironically: "Yeah, it seems like it's our honor to be involved in the whoyouare plan."

The lieutenant general waved his arm, the anger hidden under his face seemed to be condemning Leo's ignorance: "Perfect war machine, intelligence expert, you have such a talent but you are wasting it!"

Leo looked cold: "And then?"

Tim smiled, but there was a layer of ice in his eyes: "Your human experiment? You borrowed the conflicts between various families and created their offspring as a group of killers without normal human emotions, and then? Put them back In society? You planted a dark seed, waited for them to take root and germinate, and then tried to control the direction of society in this way?"

Leo ridiculed: "Trying to change the values ​​of the entire society... In his opinion, this society is decayed and needs a new era. Oh, let me think about it, what is it? The rules of the Middle Ages? The hierarchy of the Elizabethan era?"

The lieutenant general said angrily: "You don't know anything at all! You don't understand! This is the conclusion of the FBI! They demanded that this experiment be terminated!"

"Then you should stop too!" Tim angrily said: "The Don Quixote we created managed the monsters you created very well. The carnivore is in a cage, and there will be no problems inside! We provide everything above board. Dealing with darkness, but never meddling in the lives of normal people! We are much more moral than you!"

Lieutenant General Robert showed an inconceivable expression: "Stop? I never intend to give up this experiment! Look, starting from the queen creator, we are reminding this society and human beings that dark humanity is everywhere in this world! In this way Only then can all mankind feel the crisis! Then they need people like you! Only then will my experiment be meaningful!"

An abnormal frenzy appeared on the lieutenant general's face, as if he was making a campaign speech: "This is an experiment beyond the expectations of short-sighted people now! It will shine brightly in the future! Only then can human beings get rid of their selfishness. benefit, live together, obey the same order..."

Everyone in BAU looked at the lieutenant general as if they were looking at a madman.

But the eyes of Tim, Leo and ulrich reveal an indescribable sadness. They seem to see another self, the self who has been living in the dark, because he has never seen the warm and bright world outside, so he lives in a closed world. In this world, every step is filthy mud.

But human beings yearn for light after all, and there are always people who risk their lives in the eternal darkness to steal a kindling to light up the lives of others.

It's a pity that the lieutenant general never waited for that person. After all, not everyone can be favored by fate...

Leo said coldly: "Are you trying to create a batch of serial killers, and then use another batch of serial killers to solve them? Let the people feel the meaning of political rights in panic, and strengthen the centralization of power... This is your plan , Needless to say, it’s as grand as it sounds.”

"You don't know, I spent almost all my energy to use evil guys like you to destroy the other half of the world's evil forces! But you betrayed me! Don Quixote is your reward! Ha! How ironic! I have to use all my energy to destroy this experimental product I have cultivated with all my heart!" The lieutenant general's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Leo and the others with a look of love and hatred.

"In your eyes, there are no human beings at all, only weapons." Leo said calmly.

"So what? I can't give up on this experiment! It's promising! A new social order must be established out of panic and blood!"

"What you can't let go of is actually your rights." The little doctor suddenly said lightly.

The lieutenant general was shocked, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and insisted: "Whatever you say... soon this will be over... together with you—" His fingers touched Leo, Tim and Ulrich one by one: "The high-level personnel of Don Quixote, and this base that I have devoted half my life to!"

"What!?" Rossi's eyes narrowed, and he gave a wary response that only one had experienced.

Leo's face changed: "Go! Get out of here!"

A group of people from BAU rushed out of the temporary office quickly. Outside was the empty metal corridor, and no soldiers appeared to stop their rushing footsteps.

"What's going on?" The little doctor was dragged by the lion and ran all the way.

"Bomb!" Leo yelled, "He's going to blow up here!"

The little doctor paused, then turned his head to look at the door of the conference room. The lieutenant general took the time to arrange his military uniform, looked at them with a smile on his face, and gave a standard military salute to BAU.

The little doctor felt mixed feelings in his heart instantly.

"Go!" Leo's complicated eyes slid over the lieutenant general, and then dragged the little doctor away with one hand.

Everyone desperately climbed up the elevator shaft, only to hear huge explosions sounding from the depths of the ground one after another. The terrible sound took away the lives of countless martyrs.

In the firelight, Leo seemed to see thousands of undead staring at him silently. They dedicated their lives for the goal of destroying Don Quixote...

"Coordinates xx, xx requests support." Torres was against the wind, and in his sight was the sudden rise of dust all over the sky.

Castle smiled: "What? Now we two are considered unorganized people?"

Torres shook his head helplessly: "The Harrington boy is too ruthless... It took 12 years to plan a revenge... Tsk."

There was a sunburned red mark across the bridge of Castle's nose: "I really didn't let anyone go... and the two guys who were sent by the lieutenant general to carry out secret missions were tricked back by him."

Torres sighed: "Yeah... Then tell me to shoot you in the head and let you slip in and throw the corpse in, tsk, you can play so wonderfully with a clear hand."

Castle shrugged: "Who called this secret base? The first subject of the experiment was his mother..."

Torres nodded: "Leo is provoking, waiting to drive the Lieutenant General crazy..."

Castle patted the dust on his clothes and stood up from the ground: "Yes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also looking back at you."

Torres sneered: "Those who fight against monsters will eventually become monsters... Leo, the monster, is waiting for the day when he will become a monster... Those who fight against evil will eventually indulge in evil."

Castle sighed: "It's just that I don't know if I'm talking about Leo or the lieutenant general..."

The long dark night is coming to an end, and at the end of the Valley of Death, a round of sun comes out vigorously.

All the truth, together with those who fought to the death with the evil forces, were buried under the rolling yellow sand.

"They were all heroes at one time, even though they became unreasonable in the end..."

"There has never been justice with iron legs in the world. Everything is just a wooden leg that can collapse in a blink of an eye."

The little doctor's eyes were blank, and he thought again of the Nietzsche book in Colonel Reed's office: "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you."

The lion patted the little doctor on the shoulder comfortingly: "This is a reminder... Colonel Reed died of murder. He wanted to leave us a reminder that he is a hero."

The little doctor shivered, and looked at the lion: "People who fight monsters will eventually become monsters..."

The corners of Leo's mouth curled up, his smile was gentle and charming, with a reassuring force: "No, we were never monsters."

The little doctor looked pale and asked: "Why?"

Leo ruffles the little doctor's hair with one hand, and wraps him tightly in the blanket: "Saints also have a past, and sinners also have a future... What do you think?"

The strong wind brought by the helicopter rolled up the sand and dust in Death Valley, and it slowly rose into the air on this barren reddish-brown land. Two ashen-faced people were close to each other. Looking down from the helicopter, the collapsed The surface of the ground was quickly covered by sand and dust, and in the distance, a dilapidated jeep was playing rock music all the way and galloped away.

Torres dissatisfied: "This song is too old!"

Castle said casually, "Dude, stop picking and choosing, we're on the run now!"

--The end

"For my little doctor, I have tried my best. Of course, as long as I can make him stay with me at ease, I can do anything." Leo sat in the study and wrote his diary, and he could see the outside world when he looked up. The little doctor playing crazy with Scooby-Doo on the grass.

"As long as he can be as carefree as he is now, what does it matter if those dark things are buried forever?

I have such confidence that I won’t let him know. After all, after designing to let him handcuff me, and cleverly clearing up all his suspicions, he will be at ease from now on, and will no longer think that I am a dangerous person. killer.

Of course, no one will look back on that case again, because pain is always something that humans can't avoid.

The corpse under Morgan's bed was done by me. I admired the howling of the wolf dog very much. I hope to leave him with a little psychological shadow. Who told him that he was always inseparable from the little doctor before I came to BAU!

I had to get a scar on my arm to get rid of the marks left in the bathroom, but it's nice to be able to enjoy the little doctor's characteristic guilty look in some situations.

Of course, the follow-up development is really thanks to Lieutenant General Robert, who can continue to direct and act on his own... You know, the best way to hide a murder is to hide it in a series of chaotic murders. For example, when a human bomb is used to attack the subway, no one will notice that someone in the middle has also gone to heaven. Human beings are always easily deceived by their senses.

Ulrich is exactly as I thought, he can't tolerate any family's handle being dragged into other people's hands, thanks to this good brother, he solved all the materials about Don Quixote in that underground base, of course, Pazzi The family and the Brogia family are equally responsible...

No one can continue to track down the mysterious Don Quixote, after all, it has never left evidence in this world's intelligence team...

Oh, and by the way, I want to thank Torres and Castle, two guys who have slipped out of nowhere-they have always been a perfect fit, and I hope they don't bother me for never telling them who they really are. "

The lion stopped writing.

"Hey! Lion, what are you doing? I saw you writing something on the window!?" The little doctor held Scooby-Doo in both hands, and leaned against the door frame.

The lion smiled and tore off the paper from the notebook, folded it into a paper airplane, and threw it out the window leisurely.The little doctor let go of Scooby-doo, turned around and went downstairs to chase outside.

The lion smiled and looked at the little doctor who was chasing paper airplanes on the snow. He put the paper under the book on the lit candle, watched it turn into a pile of ashes, then swept them up and threw them into the burning In the fireplace.

Sure enough, the little doctor's curse sounded outside the window: "You shameless lion!"

On the paper with creases of paper airplanes, there are two naked men hugging each other vividly, with happy smiles on their faces.

The author has something to say:

Wow, it's finally over... This is someone's first post on Jinjiang, and the update speed can be said to be in a snail state.

In addition, because the length of "Wooden Leg" is already 10,000+ words, everyone's cute side CP will open another one, a short story, no reasoning, and a little easy-going direction that won't burn your brain.

About someone's incompetent chapter naming mode, ahem, I will adjust it a little bit later when I have time, everyone don't mind what unreliable things a copywriter and cover scum did...

Regarding the chapters of that, please put them in the comments of this chapter before April Fool's Day. In order to distinguish them from text comments, please fill them in separately, just leave a comment and leave an email.After April Fool's Day, those who want the text, please forward it to each other.

Finally, make a small advertisement for yourself, and there are other pitfalls, everyone is welcome to jump together, there are different attacks and receptions, welcome to watch!Guaranteed not to cheat! (Although I know it seems insincere to say that...)
