"It seems it's almost time."
He said to himself. There was nothing else to do, it was time to leave.
The first person to discover that Lizi was missing was Komon.
He just went to get some water, and when he came back, he found that Lizi had disappeared from the bed. He couldn't find her anywhere.
At first he just thought that Lizi went for a walk in the courtyard, but it turned out not to be the case. Lizi disappeared and could not be found anywhere.
Because they were brought back from the battle scene inexplicably, they were already under TLT's attention. Not long after Lizi disappeared, Chief Shuto of the Memory Police Team rushed over as soon as possible. Then came Wakura and Mizoroki of the Night Raid Team.
"Don't worry, Komon, we will definitely find it." Shuto comforted him and arranged for his assistants to check the surveillance in the corridors and hospital entrances and exits.
Shuto had not had much contact with this new member of the Night Raid Team. Usually they worked together in a division of labor and had little overlap.
In her impression, Komon was a brave young man and a generally 'good guy'. He was reluctant to accept TLT's decision to erase people's memories in order to prevent panic, and he questioned it, but he never really argued with them.
I really didn't like this. My family was devoured by alien beasts, but they were told that it was just an accident. I was sad but didn't even know the real cause of death. There was no body, and I was holding ashes that didn't exist. It really didn't make sense.
But Senior Kenshin told him that if they wanted to prevent such things, they had to work harder. Working harder to eliminate the alien beasts and prevent more people from getting hurt was definitely more important than telling the truth.
"Director, we checked the surveillance footage. Miss Saita left the hospital on her own." Shuto's assistant from the Memory Police Force came over and said, "Also..."
Seeing that he was hesitant and didn't finish his words, Shuto was wondering, but he saw that he was looking at Komon out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Men also realized that there seemed to be something related to him that the other party was unwilling to tell him.
"If it's related to Lizi, please tell me whatever it is."
This was exactly the scene that Kazukura and Mizoroki saw when they arrived at the ward.
"I don't know what's going on, but Komon is a qualified night raid member, so I don't think there's any reason to hide anything from him," said Goroki.
The assistant was a little undecided, so he handed the chip in his hand to Shudo.
"Director, please take a look at this first."
Shuto glanced at Komon, then nodded to Goroki, said "Please wait a moment", and inserted the chip into his mobile phone to read it.
Then with just one glance, her expression changed noticeably.
Shuto Saya is an experienced head of the TLT department and should not have been so flustered, but the news was too shocking.
"What's going on?" Gu Men's patience has reached its limit. If possible, he almost wanted to go over and snatch the phone.
"Sorry, I think this matter needs to be reported to the leader first. Please wait a moment."
Shuto is the head of the memory police team, and the only people she can call leaders are the three highest decision-makers. A moment later, Matsunaga came to the hospital on behalf of the three officers.
"Administrator, please take a look at this."
He didn't dare to report it over the phone, so Shuto could only let Matsunaga check it in person. There was a file in the phone, and Matsunaga stared at it for a long time, as if he wanted to recognize every word clearly, and then he let out a long sigh after a long time.
"How is this going?"
He asked Shuto, who could only shake his head.
Matsunaga thought about it and didn't hide it anymore, so he showed the phone screen.
Gu Men couldn't wait to read it, but just a few words made him wonder what was wrong with this world.
This is a victim report. The report comes from a year ago, when a family of four was brutally killed by an alien beast.
"Lizi... Why is Lizi's name here?"
And the other three were Lizi's parents and younger brother. It didn't make sense since Lizi was clearly alive and so were her family members.
"Director Shuto, I remember that this is not what you reported yesterday."
Manager Matsunaga remembered that just yesterday Shuto had reported to him that he had checked Saida Riko's background and found that the family of four had a clean family background and there was no problem at all.
He died a year ago, how could there be no problems at all?
"Yes, that is the biggest problem now. Administrator, I am sure that is the result of our investigation yesterday."
Matsunaga understood what she wanted to say. What was more terrifying than the life and death of an ordinary family of four - that kind of thing happened every day - was obviously that the records of their investigation had been tampered with.
"That's our own record!"
Not the police records, not the hospital records. Records of death from alien attacks were kept by TLT. Their own confidential information was modified, but TLT knew nothing about it.
Matsunaga realized how troublesome and serious this matter was. He left the hospital and drove back to the base without even saying anything.
Even now, Komon can't comprehend what happened.
Of course Lizi is still alive, and so is her family!
"Yes! By the way, Lizi said her mother came to visit her last night!"
This was the first time Shuto had heard of this, but it was impossible.
"Impossible, this is TLT's internal hospital, no unauthorized personnel are allowed in."
Even if they wanted to visit, they had to get approval from the top, and they obviously hadn't received any application.
"Lizi wouldn't lie to me!"
Lizi may not be able to do that, but her memory will. Shuto was deeply troubled. As a memory police, she knew more deeply than Komon. To be honest, she still didn't know what happened.
There must be a reason for these bizarre things, but who did it and for what reason? The TLT database was modified just to conceal the death of a family of four.
"I see. Let's go to the monitoring room and take a look."
Ordinary hospitals do not have surveillance cameras in the wards, but TLT's Central Hospital takes special reasons into consideration. Patients sent here for treatment are generally related to attacks by alien beasts, and accidents are likely to occur, so surveillance cameras are also set up in the wards.
"Did Miss Saida say when her mother came to visit her?"
"Yesterday, Lizi said it was after I left. I left after 6pm."
After six o'clock, it was night. Shuto discovered another abnormal thing. Even ordinary hospitals would end visiting after six o'clock and would not allow family members to enter.
The surveillance time was adjusted. Shuto, Komon, Wakura and Mizoroki were all there. The four of them crowded in the monitoring room and stared at the screen.
At first everything was normal, and the video captured Komon's departure. Shuto slightly sped up the video, and at a certain moment, Goroki suddenly called a stop.
"This way, go back a little bit for thirty seconds."
Lizi was still the only one in the room, but Shuto followed his instructions and went back thirty seconds and started playing at normal speed, and then everyone noticed the problem.
In the video, Lizi's face suddenly turned towards the door, and then she began to speak happily, as if she was talking to someone. However, from the beginning to the end, it can be seen from the surveillance that the door of the ward was still closed, and no one had come in at all. It was clearly empty.
It was like a one-man show, Lizi kept talking to the air.
The surveillance camera is a high-definition camera, and it can be seen that the expression on Lizi's face is not false at all. She really thinks there is someone there and they are communicating normally.
An invisible man makes people who watch the video feel chilly.
Everyone present were members of the Night Raid Team, and Shuto was also an experienced memory policeman, so he shouldn't have been scared, but the scene in the picture was too strange.
"Captain Wakura, I think we need to search Saita Riko's house now." Shuto suggested. Although no one knew what had happened so far, there was obviously a big problem.
It is a problem related to the alien beasts and also to TLT.
Originally, the memory police could be used for the search, but in the current situation, it is obvious that a fully armed night raid team is more suitable.
At the same time, in the Freedom Fortress, Matsunaga, who had hurried back, immediately reported the relevant situation to the three commanders.
"Assistant, what do you think is going on?"
Dongxiang also realizes the seriousness of the problem, but professional issues require help from professionals.
Ling also appeared in the conference room in the form of a projection, and she herself was still in the combat command room.
I saw her operating the computer for a while, her fingers quickly clicking on the keyboard, making a pleasant and crisp clicking sound. It was obvious that she was a computer expert.
Her persona is that of a computer genius, but in reality she is only an amateur computer player and is not at all proficient.
It made no difference, the real computer genius had always been with her. After Kainar's intervention, in front of the mastermind of the fourth-level civilization, the computers on Earth had no secrets at all.
She saw the report about the death of the Saita family a year ago. The news on the external network reported that the family on a family trip accidentally drove into the river, and the TLT internal records clearly stated that they were attacked by alien beasts.
Whether on the Internet or on TLT's internal network, the relevant records show signs of modification.
"The revisions were crude, and there wasn't much cover-up at all."
If the memory police had carefully examined yesterday's events, they might have discovered the problem. But they trusted TLT's files too much.
This is also doubtful.
"They hacked into TLT's server and modified the data, but they did it so crudely?" Dongxiang didn't quite understand. He, Soma, and Koyanagi exchanged glances. "Is our server so easy to hack into?"
It is indeed easy to stand in Kaina's perspective, and it can even be said to be defenseless.
However, the one who modified the data was not a level-four civilization, nor did they use overly advanced technology.
"It was crude, probably because there was no attempt to cover it up. Just a little deception was enough, and no thought was given to how to end it. It's not quite right to call it an 'invasion'. I checked the logs and found that the relevant information was modified by TLT's internal permissions. The IP address of the operation was... the Operations Command Room?"
Originally, she was just reading along the lines of Kainaer's investigation findings, but the result surprised Ling as well. She didn't expect that it would point to the combat command room where she was in the end!
Am I the murderer?
No, of course not her, Lingye turned around and looked at the empty seat behind him. Kiraraze hadn't come back for a full hour.
Maybe he will never come back.
Chapter 540: Kirara Ze Yu's betrayal
It was indeed Yu Kirasawa who modified the TLT server data.
Half an hour ago, he destroyed the guard facilities and forcibly left the Freedom Fortress.
The reason why he did not try to hide the roughness of his writing was because he knew very well that it would be meaningless no matter how he tried to hide it.
Because they worked together for a long time, he knew that with Assistant Officer Oshima's (Kenar) inhuman computer skills, as long as she was given an Internet cable, she could break through any target at will. So as long as she wanted to crack, no matter how she covered it up, it would make no difference.
Just stop wasting time.
"Kiraraze Yuu! Why him?"
Dongxiang didn't understand. Kiraraze was the son of Prometheus and had a clean background. He was the bridge between them and the "visitor" and was the one who should not be betrayed!
The Dewate gun, the Chrome Chester fighter, and many other technologies of TLT were provided by him. There is absolutely no reason for him to betray TLT!
Join the alien beasts? What benefits can those ghosts give that would make people join them and pledge allegiance?
Dongxiang and the others didn't understand, but Ling actually did.
There is no such thing as "taking refuge" and it is not about any interests. When the darkness in the human heart is attracted, it will sink. This is also the real scary thing about the alien beasts and the dark giants.
