Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 279 Finding the Source
"you're awake."

When I opened my eyes, it was a white ceiling I had never seen before.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and the man in the suit slowly recognized that it was the ceiling of the hospital.

He just wanted to move when he felt sore all over his body, so painful that he couldn't move, he could only lift his fingers.

what happened?The man in the suit couldn't move his body, so he started to think drowsily, and the few impressions printed on the retina before he fainted were rediscovered.

Ghost-like characters reappeared, human pupils suddenly tightened, the whole person trembled uncontrollably, fingers bent down, and grabbed the quilt beneath him.

At the same time, the shouts of others went away again. The man in the suit opened his mouth, and the saliva oozed out. Seeing that his gnashing teeth were about to chew his tongue, the bystanders quickly stuffed a towel into it.

Then there was a cry that was far away from consciousness, and after a while, a needle pricked his arm.

Unlike the pain of losing his mind the first time, this time the man in the suit was quickly calmed down.

Moreover, he also saw a pair of familiar faces stretched out in front of him, squinting his eyes and looking him up and down: "Calm down?"

The man in the suit who can't speak or nod for the time being: "..."

After squinting and waiting for a while, I realized this: "Blink twice when you calm down."

The man in the suit finally blinked twice, expressing that he would not fall into madness again.

"But you can't talk like this..." Squinting eyes was a little worried. The man who didn't have the skill of medicine could only call the doctor, ask a few questions, and get a reply that would take about 10 minutes.

Three 10 minutes, that can still wait.

During this period, Smiling Eyes hastened to deal with some work, and when his subordinates were able to speak, he put down the notebook in time.

"Team...captain." The man in the suit said hoarsely, as if pulling a broken bellows, "I..."

Squinting eyes did not wait for anyone to say a few words before interrupting: "Shut up if you are inconvenient to talk, I will ask you to answer."

Forcibly pushed the subordinate back, and the two answered a few questions with yes or no and some simple words and sentences.

"I saw something strange... sanity collapsed? I understand... it must have been because of reminiscence just now? OK, think of a way to help you recall."

Obviously you can't let the man in the suit recall it by himself. When he recalls it, it doesn't matter who he is. When the situation is better, he is frightened and wants to run away. down.

"Ah? What are you asking?" Narrowing his eyes close to his ears, he listened to his subordinate's words, "Why is my body so painful?"

After saying this, Squint squinted his eyes, which he couldn't see very well, in annoyance, and raised his hand.

The sleeves of clothes in late autumn and early winter slipped from the cuffs, revealing the white gauze and bandages wrapped around the arms underneath.

injured?Was it injured in the previous battle at the auto repair shop?
The man in the suit lay on the hospital bed and thought blankly, he had the impression that his captain was on the verge of fighting with the man in the bandage, so he shouldn't be injured?

Soon, the doubts of the man in the suit were answered.

It was true that the injury was not sustained during the battle, but on the way back from work, due to a vehicle failure, the team members driving did not control the steering wheel, and the car crashed into the guardrail on the side of the highway.

Then, the co-pilot's airbag didn't deploy.

Obviously, corresponding inspections will be done before each mission. When the car is driven out at night, it is confirmed that there is no problem with the airbag. After only one night of work, the situation changes.

In addition, the brakes that were originally thought to have not failed, so why the car skidded at that time is no longer known, and the reason has been attributed to the supernatural side for the time being.

It was as if something could trigger a certain part in the front hood, and it disappeared immediately after the car accident, and was wiped out along with the reason.

Squinting briefly narrated the car accident process, and then they changed cars, there were still some minor breakdowns in the middle, but this time it was harmless, and they returned to S City without any danger.

After going straight to the hospital, the seriously injured in the previous car accident consciously went to the doctor for treatment.

Their time point was a little later than the time point of the doppelganger's operation, and shortly after arriving at the hospital, a small explosion occurred.

"That's...the reason why you're lying here now." Squinted eyes glanced at his subordinates, "When the hospital was about to examine you, the machine blew up."

The explosion theoretically affected the surrounding people, but it was strange that most of the explosions of some glass and metal utensils fell on the man in the suit, and the medical staff scratched a little skin.

Man in suit: ...?
Man in a suit: Is my misfortune not over yet?
After squinting his eyes, he exchanged a glance with his subordinate.

"You've discovered it, too, your luck." Squinting with a gloomy complexion and a low tone, "or to put it another way, our luck tonight is very bad."

Of course the man in the suit found out.

All kinds of minor problems he encountered tonight, until the front, unfortunately, he was dizzy in the mysterious and ominous words.

Speaking of which... those ghost symbols?

"I went to ask Baisu to find out about the ghost drawing talisman." Squinted raised the notebook in his hand, "He said he saw it in the underground of the auto repair shop."

I reproduced whatever I thought of in the ambulance. I didn't expect it to have such a big impact on the man in the suit.

The man in the suit kept silent on the hospital bed, what else could he think?I can only believe it.

"Because you didn't respond well, he tore up that piece of paper and destroyed it, but he re-wrote it at my request and put it in his notebook."

The current situation is that without complete preparation, it is estimated that no one will open this notebook.

The man in the suit blinked twice again to show that he understood.

Only I am the unlucky ghost, and I am the only one who went into temporary madness after reading those characters that shouldn't be read.

To some extent, Baisu was a terrifying person.

The team where Smiling Eyes was skeptical of Baisu's words, they always felt that Baisu was hiding something, especially what happened to them tonight.

It's hard to say what the reason is, Squint Eyes thinks it could be the auto repair shop they went to, or it could be the extra Baisu.

The man in the suit: But... Isn't it their choice to find Baisu?
Although there are some unexplainable factional entanglements behind this, it is still their own choice in general.

The man in the suit was still unable to speak fluently. He was looking forward to expressing the sentence he wanted to express with his eyes. After blinking for a long time, he only got the idiot-like eyes of his captain.

"It's almost time." The nurse came in and knocked on the door, reminding him that it was time to visit. "He's going to have an examination, and then he's going to rest."

Squinting his eyes, he moved away graciously.

Before leaving, he turned around and said, "Baisu seems to have the idea of ​​continuing to participate in the cult case."

"However, Xia Chengyin's team next door will settle the matter of the doppelganger first, and if he still wants to participate at that time - the matchmaker may still be you."

……

Putting aside the cult in advance, the most urgent thing to do now is the doppelganger.

Anomalies, large and small, erupted in various cities across the country. Although the authorities had prepared a set of rhetoric to appease the masses, they still caused some small commotions.

The small commotion was quickly quelled, but if the doppelganger incident was not resolved, the small commotion would sooner or later turn into a bigger panic.

Therefore, special departments everywhere have some headaches.

Generally speaking, the rise of some supernatural events is always regional, at most it will be mobile crimes, and rarely spreads over a large area.

Now, they have no idea why the doppelganger incident started and how it spread to the whole country.

Looking at the reports from various places, it seems that it started from the port city, then followed the Haihe Lake to the inland, and finally moved to the source of the river, which is the plateau.

The nearby cities were eaten away bit by bit, like mold growing in the dark, quickly crawling over the remote corners where the light couldn't reach.

Afterwards, City S, which is close to the sea and is suspected to be the origin of the doppelganger incident, handed over a lot of information, and what other cities found were also fed back. Finally, they collected a thick stack and put it on the desk, enough to hold a meeting again.

The participants were still those members. Due to the size of the meeting room, members were deleted. At least those who remained were those who had participated in the investigation of the doppelganger incident and obtained a lot of information.

The person who presided over the meeting was supposed to be Gu Cheng, but as a result, the branch leader received a notice just before the meeting, and temporarily changed the route and handed over the work to his subordinates.

So the not-so-good-tempered police officer took the folder from his boss and pushed open the door of the meeting room. Only then did he see the people inside, and Xia Chengyin wanted to leave.

There is a clear difference between being a participant and the person presiding over a meeting. In the former, he can fish or make jokes, while in the latter, he has to endure the confusion of his colleagues.

Well, he is usually the most inconspicuous, but it doesn't mean that everyone else is safe.

Many people are what can be called a bad friend group among each other.

The inch-headed police officer closed the door, took a deep breath, opened it again, walked in, and slammed the folder on the table.

First, there are some issues that need to be addressed.

Xia Chengyin looked at the young man in school uniform sitting on the first seat on the lower left, and repeatedly checked the list in his hand, but he did not see the name of a certain underage high school student.

"Gao Tianyi." He chewed up Nian Ren's name word by word, implying a threat, "Explain, why are you here?"

Don't let him catch whoever opened the door for this little brat, the grown-up who no longer wants to repeat the school day starts thinking to himself.

The minor who was threatened didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand: "I asked for leave at school, and I greeted Uncle Gu, so you can't sanction me, Brother Xia."

The young man said in a somewhat aggressive tone, and pointed to himself: "I'm also considered a relationship person, right? My classmate hasn't woken up yet!"

Gao Tianyi thought that he could sit here, and if he had to be driven back to school, he would use his classmates to fight.

No way, his classmates haven't woken up yet.

It has been a few days since the body of the round-faced boy was recovered, and the special department has not researched any way to restore it.

On the contrary, the existence of the doppelganger was exposed to look like black mud after several stimulations. The pool of surging mud caused a lot of confusion to the members of the special department, but in the end it was taken down without any risk.

Take it down, take it down, but the round-faced boy is still sitting there so unconsciously, and the community worker Xiao Jiang next to him is a little better, and he will have some physiological reactions.

Gao Tianyi skipped a few classes to observe a few times, and went back to the gymnasium to stay for a few nights. He concluded that a classmate who wanted him to recover had to solve the problem from the source.

The source refers to the source of the birth of the black silt, which the special department is still looking for.

If they can't find it, will the round-faced boy and others stay in a state of amnesia forever?
Gao Tianyi thought aimlessly, and sat firmly in the conference room.

Whatever he said, he had to have a foot in the next action.

Xia Chengyin saw that threats were not enough, so he could only glared at the underage high school students viciously. The adults clenched their fists and waved them, with an expression of "as long as you don't obey, my fist will hit your forehead". It made the young man a little weaker, and he stopped jumping around like this.

The inch-headed police officer then looked back, called a few names, and the one who was called was called, and came to the first seat on the lower right after a short sight.

The "bad friend" who pushed the frame of the mirror nodded with Xia Chengyin as a greeting.

Xia Chengyin: ... Is this meeting really okay?
As a person who is easy to choke with Tang Nuo without a leader, Xia Chengyin looked away with self-knowledge, saving the fight for later.

The follow-up roll call was uneventful, and he read the names of two or three colleagues whom he knew well, until he reached the last one.

"..." Although he had been mentally prepared, when he actually saw the name, the policeman with an inch head felt his brows twitch, "Baisu?"

From the back of the conference room, he raised a hand and quickly put it down. The black-haired young man with his head down was very distressed.

Baisu held a fountain pen in his hand, and in front of him was the report that he couldn't escape no matter what.

In exchange, Captain Gu, the human leader, said that it would be convenient for him to write it out. If he wanted to participate in the investigation of the cult in the future, he would arrange it.

So, now Baisu started to fabricate some lies about the underground of the auto repair shop facing the paper.

It's fun to lie for a while, and lie to the crematorium afterwards.

Fortunately, the lies he told human beings accounted for less than 30.00%, and the rest should be written truthfully.

Wanwan began to draw a maze on the paper, while drawing Baisu, he was responding to Xia Chengyin's inquiry.

"I'm also a relationship person, right? Why can't this reason be? Isn't that what Gao Tianyi said earlier... a relationship person? Wasn't that the one a few nights ago."

"The work has already been arranged, don't worry."

"I also greeted Captain Gu, and he agreed."

An explanation in thousands of words is no match for the last sentence, Xia Chengyin closed his mouth unwillingly and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Baisu watched the police officer with an inch head put on an impatient expression, but still finished counting and put away the paper, knocked on the table with a file folder, and signaled everyone to pay attention to him.

Baisu also stopped writing and looked up.

However, he was not listening to someone's speech, but reminiscing about something.

When he went to look for Captain Gu earlier, the other party looked at him a little strangely.

Confused, thoughtful, and helplessly compromised.
