Chapter 569 Crazy Raving

The flame spit out from the spray gun inlaid with artificial agate stones ignites the liquid on the steak skin, turning from orange to dark blue.

After a while, it spread to a few flowers beside the steak, which were carved out of unknown vegetables, and the tips were light blue.

"This is our restaurant's signature dish, Dark Blue Rose, I wish you two a pleasant meal."

The waiter said congratulations, and bowed out of the box, Zhu Jue looked at the beautifully presented meal in front of him, and began to think of the big steak and enoki mushroom bacon skewers he used for barbecue.

"You haven't answered the question I just asked on the sidewalk. Does Mr. Rona have any new information for you?"

Unlike Zhu Jue who really wanted to eat, Newcastle was obviously not hungry. He sipped his red wine to moisten his throat and asked.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the conversation, he specially chose a separate box on the second floor of the restaurant.

There are iris flower wallpapers and wall lamps of the same flower type on the wall. Classic jazz music was originally playing, but it was turned off in advance at his request.

"Of course, Mr. Rona told me before leaving that the two polluted areas in the bottom community are far from over. The Ouroboros organization can control the infected body, and use the bone tree to create something that can strengthen or catalyze the infected body and tissue. The fruit of the mutation of the members, what they plan is not just a terrorist activity!"

With Rona as an excuse to become his own "information channel", Zhu Jue naturally revealed some of his intentions.

"If possible, can you explain in more detail, such as a clear goal, the next action area"

Regarding the previous series of activities carried out by the Ouroboros organization, the Thousand Sails City government also felt that they most likely had follow-up plans. The secret investigators sent out did not know how many, but the feedback was very little.

"Sorry, I didn't get any more information. In fact, Mr. Rona also wanted me to obtain some information from you that the Qiansail City government currently knows, saying that it would be convenient for him to entrust someone to conduct investigations in a special way. , As for the results obtained, I will naturally share them with you at that time."

Zhu Jue, who left the grassroots community, has also reached a stalemate in his investigation of the Ouroboros organization. He needs more clues to support him in his follow-up investigation. No valuable information has yet been sent from the Rangers.

"A special way?"

Newcastle repeated Zhu Jue's words, and immediately realized that this was probably a message of cooperation from that person Torona.

Yes!

This is Thousand Sails City, regardless of other things, whether it is manpower, material resources, or various information channels, the resources owned by the Thousand Sails City government are undoubtedly the first.

Even he needs to use the government's channels to get the latest information at some point, but because he doesn't want to reveal his identity, he communicates with himself in this way of entrusting others.

Instead of continuing to ask about the whereabouts of the other party, it is better to take this opportunity to sublimate the transaction relationship between the two parties into a cooperative relationship, even if it is a cooperative relationship with an intermediary.

With this in mind, Newcastle's expression suddenly became much brighter, but unfortunately it didn't last long.

The reason is very simple, the security department seems to have not investigated any decent information so far, which made him not know what to say for a while.

Of course, this may also have something to do with his identity. It is obviously unnecessary for the police department to report to the deputy director of the epidemic prevention department when investigating the case.

The opportunity for cooperation is right in front of our eyes, should we just let it slip away like this?

Zhu Jue, who had been keeping his eyes on Newcastle, noticed his embarrassment, and was not prepared to make the first conversation between the two of them fruitless. After thinking about it, he said: "The person who attacked Mr. Rona before, Is there any news?"

"Uh, this... I have already asked the patrol team in the No. 17 community to investigate as much as possible, but they were all masked at the time, and they also used some kind of jamming device to destroy the surrounding monitors during the battle. It takes a certain amount of time to completely track them down." time."

The so-called "it takes a certain amount of time" can actually be equated with the saying of losing the goal.

Highly developed technology may make most criminal activities invisible, but relatively, it is also helping some people hide their crimes more perfectly.

Since the assailant dared to attack Rona and Gu Yinxing in public, they were naturally well prepared
"How about the development of infected bodies in other communities in the lower city? I remember that before the start of the scavenger project, there were also infected people in the middle-level communities in the lower city, didn't they?"

Zhu Jue decided to return the question to Newcastle's major, and he could always answer this question.

"Ah! Regarding this, the Epidemic Prevention Institute has recently made new discoveries."

When it came to his own work, Newcastle, who was still in embarrassment a second ago, immediately showed his professionalism as the deputy director of the epidemic prevention department.

"You have worked in low-level communities and have been exposed to infected bodies. At first we thought that this was some kind of irreversible genetic mutation caused by the end of the epidemic, but this is not the case. According to recent experiments by the epidemic prevention institute, During the same period when the infected body appeared in the low-level community, some patients who were admitted to the hospital in advance did not show any changes, and what they showed was still the symptoms of the epidemic, which means that it is very likely that the infected person turned into an infected body Because of the inducing factors created by the Ouroboros organization!"

Newcastle didn't know what he said. Not only did Zhu Jue understand it clearly, but there was also a witness beside him, but the latter didn't mean to interrupt Newcastle.

If you want to get some useful information, you have to open the chatterbox of Newcastle first, right?
Zhu Jue's patience soon paid off.

"Why doesn't the Ouroboros organization simply 'detonate' these time bomb-like patients together, and leave these infected people behind? With the ability to remotely control the infected to mutate, after the internal observation and experiments of the epidemic prevention station, we found that these infected people have extremely serious hallucinations without exception after the epidemic enters the final stage!"

Mentioning this aspect, Newcastle took a sip of the cigarette, and unconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes and the sides of his cheeks with his left hand, allowing the smoke to escape from the gap between his knuckles.

For the first time, this middle-aged man, who was sitting in the position of deputy director of the epidemic prevention center in his prime, showed exhaustion and depression in front of Zhu Jue.

"What kind of hallucination?"

Zhu Jue picked up the whole steak with a fork in his hand, biting on it, and asked vaguely.

There's no way, he really wants to maintain his image, but this steak is really delicious!
"Academia has not yet made a clear division of this mental state. I asked the professor of human psychology at Qianfan University and several psychologists who have made great achievements in this area. The answers they gave were the collapse of the world view or Talk about an all-round disorder of cognition!"

"Um"

This time it was Zhu Jue's turn to not understand.

"I had a few short conversations with them. Those people's thinking logic and cognition of external things all had great problems. To give a simple example, you see people wearing white coats and masks, What is the first thought of a person with a stethoscope around his neck?"

"A doctor, of course a doctor."

This is the image of identity that everyone associates with.

"Monster, that's what the infected call your doctor!"

Newcastle leaned back on the bench, with soot between his fingers falling on the plate in front of him as his body swayed. The uneaten steak was stained with soot, and the tender red skin was inevitably covered with ash. The appearance of "stains",
"They regard those of us who want to help them as monsters. They think that they have no problems but have been imprisoned. Not only do they not cooperate with the treatment, they even look for opportunities to attack the employees of the epidemic prevention center. Hospitals, this kind of behavior will only make them lose the opportunity to see a doctor for life, but we are here in the epidemic prevention center, so we can only regard their behavior as an accidental behavior in a seriously ill state."

"It's just attacking the doctor, and there are no other special manifestations. You just said that they had severe hallucinations, and as far as I know from Mr. Rona, these people are probably also some kind of spirit spread by the Ouroboros organization." The effects of pollutants, their hallucinations may also have reference significance."

Zhu Jue has experienced that special state. Although the crazy fantasy is constantly eroding his sanity, if he can survive it, he can often feel some messages from it.

Divination is the best example.

These infected people are obviously affected by the Gadamon daughter body to become like this. When they fall into madness, they will inevitably see some special illusions, which may be unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary people. But Zhu Jue believes that there may be valuable information hidden in it.

"Performance. Infected people who have fallen into severe fantasies often have ravings, saying that we have all been deceived and that this world is not the real world. Occasionally their eyes will focus on the corners of the room where there is no one, and then they will talk here and there, as if that There was a person standing next to him watching him. I didn't listen to these crazy words too much, it was a headache, if necessary, I can find someone to record and record part of the content."

No one would care about the words of lunatics, let alone those guys are extremely aggressive and contagious.

"I think it is very necessary. Right now we must not miss any possible clues."

The Ouroboros organization kept these infected people, obviously not because they had forgotten them, but perhaps because they wanted them to infect more people, or to achieve some other purpose.

In any case, Zhu Jue believes that it is necessary to explore.

"No problem, I will pay attention to this aspect."

This is not a difficult thing to do. In Newcastle's view, since it was something that person deliberately mentioned, it is not a problem for the epidemic prevention office to pay special attention to it.

The conversation between the two continued for about half an hour.

As the Newcastle phone rang, the two had to return to the news agency.
