Chapter 456 Trees

Under the premise that Suzi deliberately speeded up the progress, the recruitment of clinic staff was completed in just one day.

The rest are the cleaning staff who come to the door regularly and the receptionist at the front desk.

These people don't need interviews, they just need an online recruitment notice, and naturally qualified job seekers will take the initiative to contact them.

"Tomorrow will be a trial operation, let the staff familiarize themselves with the equipment in the clinic, and you will have to be present at that time. It will not take much time. Do you need the opening ceremony?"

"Don't bother, the opening ceremony is to attract the attention of guests, which is completely superfluous for us."

Zhu Jue was not very interested in Dai Duo Dahonghua standing at the door, so he immediately denied Suzi's idea, and the latter had no objection to it, just nodded to express his understanding.

After chatting about trivial matters in the clinic for a while, the topic of the two of them turned to Zhu Jue's outing today, and the place of conversation was also transferred from the office on the first floor to the small living room on the second floor.

"I haven't found any valuable information about the title of Thorn Sect on the Internet of Thousand Sails City, and occasionally it is only mentioned in a superficial religious cognition. One of the religions."

After learning that the Human Rights March three years ago was dominated by the Thorn sect in the later period, Suzi immediately began to try to search for information in this regard.

The results were not as expected.

"This is normal. The people in the federal government office told me that the Thorn Sect is not recognized in today's Thousand Sails City. I think the non-recognition here is not limited to religious status. I'm afraid they will even deny that this religion appeared in the human rights parade .”

According to the official statement of the Qianfan City government, the failure of the human rights parade was entirely due to their dissatisfaction with the "reasonable" conditions given by the government's affirmation, so the government reluctantly ended this "farce" after the second compromise ".

The winner changes history, which is nothing more than a normal thing.

"Is there any connection between this sect and Ouroboros?"

Suzi has not forgotten the identity that Sean has exposed. Whether he is a member of the Thorn Sect is still unclear, but the identity of the Ouroboros organization is certain.

"I have a guess."

Stirring the fruit plate on the low table, Zhu Jue picked up an orange and put it in the middle of the table after thinking for a while, then said,

"If you regard this as the main crowd of the parade, the real number is in the tens of thousands."

"The impact of the emergence of the Thorn Sect should have affected nearly half of the parade crowd."

Peel off the orange peel, break it in half, and Zhu Jue eats half.

"It's impossible for half of the people to be believers. In my opinion, 9% of them are blind followers. It's okay to let them shout slogans. It's impossible for them to do anything for this sect. Only 1% of the believers really know the Thorn Sect and agree with its philosophy."

After eating more than half of it, there were only two pieces of orange flesh left. Zhu Jue separated the two pieces, held one in each hand, and shook it left and right.
"The 1% of the population should be between 1 and 2, which already sounds like a huge number, and what we need to figure out is how this Thorn Sect came into being. It is organized by Ouroboros The predecessor is still an organization that existed at the same time as the Ouroboros organization."

"The real question is what role does 'Zero' play now?"

Suzi took another orange and put it next to the petal in Zhu Jue's hand.

The difference is not small.

It’s okay to say that it’s just an Ouroboros organization, but this Ouroboros symbol matches the symbol on a high-ranking member of the “Zero” organization in the scene obtained from the dream inquiry.

If "Zero" also joined the human rights organization three years ago, then this order may have to be rearranged again.

After all, whether it is the Thorn Sect or Ouroboros, compared to "Zero", an organization that exists on the dark side of the world, they are just a small piece of orange flesh in Zhu Jue's hand!

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Swallowing the remaining oranges in one gulp, Zhu Jue said in a muffled voice.

Zhu Jue and Suzi couldn't get around the human rights march three years ago if they wanted to find out about Ouroboros.

However, as the investigation deepened, the things involved became more and more complicated.

It seems that there are clues everywhere, but if you really want to make up your mind to investigate, you will find that behind these seemingly clear clues, there seems to be a shadow that is so thick that it cannot be resolved.

"I just greeted the person in the federal government office and asked him to help collect information on the human rights march and the Thorn sect. It's better not to expect too much from him in a short period of time. Most of the information in his hand is three years old. It is not easy to restart the investigation now.”

Even though the reward was promised, Zhu Jue still didn't think that Rona could bring him many surprises, and it was just a choice for investigation.

However, as soon as his voice fell, the mobile phone placed on the low table began to vibrate.

Caller: Rona Enkos.

"Hello, Mr. Hannibal?"

Rona's voice sounded a little nervous.

"It's me, did you find out?"

Suddenly feeling a little pain in his cheek, Zhu Jue looked at Suzi and shrugged his shoulders, making a silent gesture.

"Remember the community when you were talking to me today?"

"Of course, the milk tea in that cafe is not bad."

"There was a murder near that cafe!"

Standing at the door of the restaurant, looking at the large number of patrols diagonally across the street and the virtual cordon displayed outside the building, Rona glanced back at his wife and children behind and said in a deep voice.

Having just received a large amount of extra money, he asked his wife to ask for leave tonight, and took the whole family out for a good meal. Unexpectedly, shortly after he was seated, there were screams from across the street.

"Mr. Econnor, I know your urgency, but what I want to know is about the Thorns sect or the human rights march, not this kind of murder case. I'm not a detective. Shouldn't these matters be handed over to the patrol?"

Zhu Jue thinks that he gave out two rolls of cash to stimulate Rona Enkos. The latter may be a little too excited now, and he has to report everything he sees, and see if he can get paid in exchange.

"No, this is not a simple murder case. I will send you the photos I just bought from a witness. You will understand after reading the photos."

Rona knew what Zhu Jue was thinking and quickly explained.

The murder scene was on the second floor of a nightclub. At this time, there were many guests on the dance floor on the first floor. When the body was found, many people were attracted to it, so there were many photos of the scene.

On the other side, Zhu Jue turned on the communication to hands-free, and clicked on it directly when Rona sent the photo.

The state of the corpse in the photo is extremely strange.

The upper body of the corpse was bare, and the posture was like a person bending forward and falling forward when struggling in extreme pain. The weird thing was that he didn't really fall down, his hands were pinching his neck, and his upper body was twisted like a shrimp tail. The forehead is no more than half a meter from the floor.

Even Zhu Jue, it is impossible to maintain this posture without the help of external force, which in itself has exceeded the limit of what human beings can do.

But this corpse did it!
Because his legs have a lot of dark red silk threads extending from his calf. No, it's not so much silk thread, but rather an existence similar to the roots of trees.

That's far from all.

The pale bony spur broke through the skin from the elbow of the arm, obviously without any carrier, it just grew nearly half a meter. Not only did it not have the appearance that the bone should have, but it became a veritable white bone branch!

On the back of the neck and head of the corpse, there are disgusting plants that look like lotus pods of flesh and blood rising up, and the blank rhizomes at the top make people think that something seems to have grown there.

"Have you seen the photos? I heard that the deceased was Seres, the leader of the Silt Gang in the No. 15 community. The reason why I contacted you is because there is a similar image in the information I collected. Is the file bag with you?"

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Hearing Luo Na's explanation, Zhu Jue hurriedly brought over the document bag that was put aside, and Suzi took it over and took out the documents inside, flipping through them one by one.

Compared to Zhu Jue, she is like a scanner.

Head up, head down, turn over one sheet, then head up, head down again.
Ended up on one photo.

That was the content of a meeting of the Thorn Sect captured by an insider placed in the parade by the federal government.

The believers surround a "tree" made of discarded metal strips and a large number of rivets. In its external representation, there is no such image as a "tree" that often praises life, and some are only cold and hard. The corners are sharp!

There are not as many similarities between this photo and the "tree" in the photo that Rona sent, but for some reason, Zhu Jue just glanced at it and decided in his heart that they are related.

Rona's current feeling is probably very similar to Zhu Jue's.

"Congratulations to Hannibal, phone photos!"

Suzi noticed Zhu Jue's phone screen and said suddenly.

When the latter turned his gaze, he found that the photo that Rona had just sent had turned into a cracked "whiteboard", with a red exclamation mark beside it.

Obviously, Qianfan City's brain strictly forbids the dissemination of this kind of photos. It is estimated that this document of Rona was preserved because of its paper quality and could not be affected by the brain.

"Mr. Rona, help me pay attention to this case, but be sure to hide your identity and don't let anyone know that you are investigating this matter. As for the remuneration and investigation funds, I will transfer the money to you later and contact you again."

Putting down the phone again, picked up the photo in the file and stared at it for a while, then turned his gaze to Suzi, and asked again,
"Is there anything that can cause such a degree of mutation in the human body, medicine or virus?"

"Part of the ability injections, including the evolution injections that we Yimeng is using now, if they encounter rejection, the human body will inevitably mutate, but what kind of state this will become is uncertain, because the relationship between people The physiques between people are also very different, and in the same way, the changes that viruses can bring to people are also the same."

The implication of Suzi's words is very clear, such a directional mutation cannot be produced by ordinary medicines or viruses.
