Chapter 186 Humanity’s Quest for Immortality
Du Ruo was staring at the desolate world in a daze, while some people were staring at the surveillance video.
Yesterday, Alang from the police station searched for Du Ruo's information in the internal system. Although no illegal record of Du Ruo was found, the highest level of surveillance was successfully triggered.
The higher-ups questioned Alang, and after confirming what happened and finding out that it was not because Du Ruo had committed a crime or someone wanted to take action against Du Ruo through the investigation, the warning was naturally lifted.
However, although the ministerial-level warning was lifted, the bureau-level warning was not lifted.
For a unique person like Du Ruo, they could not be overly cautious, so after confirming Du Ruo's residence yesterday, they remotely retrieved the surveillance footage and conducted real-time monitoring of the residential area where Du Ruo lived.
After all, in the face of a natural disaster like a typhoon, it would be too easy for Du Ruo to do something.
So luckily, the part of the video about rescuing people during Typhoon Duruo yesterday was recorded in real time. However, because the typhoon was so severe at the time, everyone was paying attention to the worst-hit areas and no one was supervising and seeing this scene.
But after the typhoon, technical investigation personnel had to review the surveillance footage near Duruo at double the speed.
So, Du Ruo's video was reported to the ministerial department again.
Needless to say, the importance attached to this matter was high. Even the investigation into Du Ruo's information could be inquired by a dedicated person. What's more, it was now reported at the provincial level. The video was naturally uploaded to the leaders at the first opportunity. Then, because the things shown in the video could no longer be described by ordinary martial arts, it would naturally be reported again at higher levels.
"Is this video confirmed to be true or not caused by weather and lighting effects?"
The speaker was an old man in his sixties or seventies. After repeatedly watching the video of Du Ruo coming out of the house and returning to the house, he asked a middle-aged man who handed him the information.
"Yes, it has been confirmed. The video is not fake, and it is not some special lighting effect. His leap (tiger pounce) has far exceeded the human record, about 20 to 30 meters. Look at the red mist in the video. We have retrieved all the videos related to Du Ruo, and there are actually related traces in other videos."
The middle-aged man froze the image on the tablet of Du Ruo being wrapped in a tiger-shaped red mist. This was Du Ruo completely ignoring the typhoon and making an attack while in the air.
In the picture, Du Ruo looks like a tiger, standing between two roofs, his body wrapped in tiger-shaped mist. The tiger shape looks lifelike and is not affected by the typhoon at all.
Then the middle-aged man took out another tablet, and that was the scene where Du Ruo and Uncle Mo were sitting at the same table and casually throwing out disposable chopsticks. After the picture was enlarged, a trace of red light attached to the disposable chopsticks was captured. Then the middle-aged man compared the circled picture with the tiger-shaped Du Ruo.
"This proves that he has always had this ability, but he just hid it very well and never showed it."
The middle-aged man stopped talking after he finished speaking, leaving everything to the leader to judge, and tried to remove personal opinions as much as possible.
"It says here that he went abroad and then there was an extra check for $5 million. Have you investigated? Could it be related to overseas?"
The old man pointed to a document on the table and asked the biggest question in Du Ruo's document.
Since it is a report to the leader, it certainly cannot be without context. It can be said that all of Du Ruo's information has been placed in front of the old man. Of course, the focus is on Du Ruo's experience after returning to his hometown. The previous part is also included, but it is not surprising, so the middle-aged man holds it in his hand as a backup and there is no need to show it to the leader.
"After investigation, it was found that the owner of the check was Yang Guangzhou, the boss of a ** company in Guangdong Province. During that period, Yang Guangzhou's son died in the Philippines. After that, Yang Guangzhou secretly offered a reward. After being introduced by ** Financial Manager Li Yu, Du Ruo went to Guangdong Province and met Yang Guangzhou with several employment agents.
Afterwards, Du Ruo went abroad to Malaysia. There was no trace of Du Ruo for a week, but a family in the Philippines was destroyed. The mercenary community also spread that the head of the family was killed by an eight-armed Yama. It is said that this eight-armed Yama can instantly grow eight arms, and the sky is full of hidden weapons like red rain, and no one survives within a radius of dozens of meters. "
The middle-aged man took out a piece of information in his hand and handed it to the old man while talking.
"Eight-armed Yama, hidden weapons are like red rain, this Du Ruo is also good at hidden weapons."
The old man just glanced at the information with his eyes slightly narrowed. Although there was no evidence, a lot of things had been exposed.
Don't underestimate the power of the country. Without any human intervention, they can find out many things that seem to be well-planned in a very short period of time.
"Do we need to conduct a detailed investigation into Du Ruo's departure to the sea?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"What does the death of a few people in the Philippines have to do with us? Didn't they say that Du Ruo went to Malaysia for a trip? What does this have to do with us? And even if we want to investigate, shouldn't we investigate how Yang Guangzhou's son died?"
The old man curled his lips. As long as Du Ruo had no connection with foreign forces, it would be fine. Besides, there would be no results from the investigation of such matters. The dead monkeys in the Philippines did not come forward to report the case. Who would be willing to help with the investigation, especially when all the information showed that Du Ruo had not committed any illegal or disorderly behavior in the country.
"..."
The middle-aged man had nothing to say and stood aside without asking any more questions.
“But… can he learn all these through martial arts?” The old man pointed at Du Ruo who was wrapped in a tiger transformed by red mist in the picture and couldn’t help but ask.
"We didn't have time to consult with relevant people, and there shouldn't be any relevant martial artists who can explain this phenomenon. The database only contains relevant legends, and there is no way to prove that martial arts training can reach this level."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. If he could practice martial arts to this level, there would be no need to pay so much attention to Du Ruo. Du Ruo's information would not have been reported through layers of authorities and finally reached the hands of the old man in front of him.
"Have you ever guessed Du Ruo's specific combat power? Or his specific physical data?"
The old man spoke casually, and even picked up the teacup beside him and blew gently on the foam on it, but did not take a sip.
The old man seemed nonchalant, but the middle-aged man perked up. As a secretary, he knew the old man very well. The more casual the questions were, the more likely they were to reveal something that the old man cared about the most.
"Based on the data reported by Heilongjiang last time, I have made a guess. A direct confrontation would require at least a fully armed special operations team. However, Du Ruo may have some reservations. If it is a normal encounter, the three special operations teams with good coordination can win."
This is based on a deep understanding of Du Ruo. However, the fact that it took three fully armed special operations teams to take him down is enough to show Du Ruo's combat power.
You have to know that fully armed special forces are not comparable to mercenaries. They are equipped with various bombs, grenades, drones, infrared rays and other auxiliary equipment. To put it bluntly, these people can fight a small battle.
"Ah."
The old man didn't react much, just took a sip of tea.
"As for physical fitness."
The middle-aged man paused after he finished speaking. He had a keen observation ability and had noticed that the old man did not spit out the tea stems as usual after drinking the tea, so he lowered his head and continued to report:
"There are no records at the moment, but we can infer that his physical fitness is absolutely amazing. He has no physical examination records in recent years. There is only a blood test report from a visit to the doctor last month. That report is at the bottom of the file, and there is nothing abnormal in the report."
The middle-aged man thought about it and added, "The hospital handled the blood sample according to the procedure and there is no way to find it."
"Well, let's do this for now. Set Du Ruo's personal file as confidential, notify relevant personnel to keep it confidential, continue to pay close attention, and report any new developments in a timely manner."
The old man picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea. This time, almost subconsciously, he spat the non-existent tea stems in his mouth into the trash can.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man responded, then walked out and closed the door.
In the room, the old man put down the teacup, picked up Du Ruo's information and looked through it carefully, but he did not pay attention to other information, but focused on Du Ruo's blood test report.
"Can martial arts training reach this level? If you continue to practice, can you achieve the legendary immunity from all diseases, longevity, or even... ascend to heaven in broad daylight?"
The old man muttered to himself in a very faint voice that only he could hear.
After reading it, the old man put the information down, then walked to the phone on the desk and dialed it.
"Hey, Lao Hu, who is the best at close combat in your army? Can I borrow your help? I have a mission...
No, no, we just found a very special person recently, and we want someone from your military to test him...
Yes, I will send you the information later. Please pay attention to the scale. This is just a test. I can reveal my identity or recruit you, but I won’t force you. "
The pursuit of immortality is ingrained in human beings, especially among the powerful. The more obsessed they are with power, the more persistent they will be in their desire for immortality. It would be fine if they can't see it, but once they can see hope, I don't know how many people will go crazy for it.
……
"Wow, there are so many coconuts. Should we pick some?"
Xiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaimed when looking at the coconuts all over the ground. Such young coconuts cost ten yuan each in other places, and Xiang Yuanyuan was almost able to count them on her fingers.
"Brother Du, can you please help my husband check the van? I don't know what's going on. Sister Yuanyuan, you want to drink coconut water. Let's go down and pick some up now. Those papayas are also good. We can pick them up and make soup."
Before Du Ruo could answer, Li Yuanyuan spoke on the second-floor balcony. She was also standing on the balcony looking outside, but compared to coconut and papaya, she was more worried about his van.
