white night syndrome

Chapter 183 151. Is there only tea?
"Wendigo?"

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, stared at the policeman in front of him with an expression of disbelief, and at the same time started a crazy brain storm.

If it really had something to do with Wendigo...then these daydreams he experienced were not meaningless, and what kind of secret was buried in them?
The policeman in front of him had a noncommittal expression, and did not directly respond to Li Ming's question, but continued with his business.

"Well, we at the Metropolitan Police Department have confirmed that you are not suspected, so you can leave now."

The policeman smiled ambiguously, then spoke frivolously.

"However, if you, a group of marked dangerous elements, appear at the next crime scene next time, then...don't blame our Metropolitan Police Department."

"Of course not, don't worry." As soon as Sato heard that they could be let go, he immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"That's the best."

The policeman supported the brim of his hat, as if he didn't want anyone to see his face at all, and left the closed room like this.

Li Ming recovered from his contemplation, and ran to the door quickly to ask the policeman for some information, but there was only an empty corridor in front of him, and there were no figures in any shadowy corners. Disappeared out of thin air.

"Let's go Li Ming, although I don't know what topic you and that policeman are talking about, but it doesn't seem to be an important thing right now, let's leave quickly, I always feel that there is something wrong with the Metropolitan Police Department." Sato tidied up. He took off his backpack, walked to Li Ming's side and patted his shoulder, saying.

"It's certainly not important to you, but to me..."

Li Ming hesitated to speak, he suddenly thought that these people in front of him should be only a part of the white dream, they would not believe it no matter how much they said, it might as well talk about it after escaping from the white dream.

And it seems that the policeman also knows him. If he is really an acquaintance, he should be able to meet him before the white dream ends, or in the next white dream.

It is the purpose of this policeman...

The weird thing is, why did he remind himself that the white dream was about the Wendigo incident?

Is it for reminder?
Incomprehensible.

When everyone left the closed room and came to the hall, Researcher Tsukishima was already sitting on the bench in the hall, waiting for everyone to arrive, with a not-so-happy smile on his face.

"correct."

When the greetings were about to begin, the young policeman quietly appeared behind the crowd, continued to hold his hat brim and looked at the crowd, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Although you entered the Metropolitan Police Department as suspects to be interrogated before, you are also victims of the theater bombing. In order to let you citizens have a better impression of our Metropolitan Police Department, you are leaving the Metropolitan Police Department. After that, there will be a special car to take you to the hospital and get a free medical examination."

"Of course, if you don't want to go for the physical examination and feel that you are in good health, our Metropolitan Police Department doesn't force you, and you can leave on your own, but... I believe you will not do this, right?"

"How can you be so sure?"

The policeman who had always been suspicious was right in front of him, Li Ming used words to calm down and divert his attention, while walking cautiously, he walked to the policeman from the other side, ready to catch a turtle in a jar.

"Of course I can be sure, because all of you seem to have suffered injuries to varying degrees. If you don't go to the hospital, you may be at risk of infection. If I remember correctly, there is still a part of time for the New World case exhibition. You don't want to miss this event, do you?"

The policeman raised his eyebrows, then he looked at Li Ming who had been trying to approach him, and smiled slightly.

"Okay, Mr. Li Ming, don't doubt my identity. In this world, my identity is a pure policeman." The young policeman took the police cap off his head with a smile on his face, "Because In a certain situation, we can determine the appearance of this world, so even if I expose my face, you will not know me."

"It's really thoughtful."

Li Ming frowned slightly, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate. He patted the shoulder of the policeman in front of him with some force, as if to remove his bones.

"Don't let me know who you are. If I find out who you are after waking up from the dream, I won't have much patience."

"I kind of hope you can recognize me, after all, that should be the greatest fun." The policeman said with a smile.

Li Ming snorted softly and waved his hands towards the crowd.

"Let's go, since our police comrades have said so, although the free medical examination is a bit suspicious, but these things are really not prostitutes or whores."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and in the end it was Researcher Yuedao who stood up and agreed, and then they left the Metropolitan Police Department together, took a special car, and headed to the hospital in New World.

There may be some other meanings in saying this, the hospital in the new world sounds really interesting.

In the car, Li Ming, who was huddled in the corner of the back row, took out his mobile phone and looked up various information about Itakuya on the search engine.

"Ithaqua is one of the old masters in the Cthulhu mythology, created by August William Dreese, which appeared in Dreese's short story "Ithaqua" .

Itaqua, also known as "Wendigo", is based on the snow monster "Wendigo" in Algernon Blackwood's works, and it is inspired by the North American aborigines' description of Wendigo. The legend, or the legendary snowman. "

It's the Cthulhu mythology again, and the frequency of this thing appearing in white dreams is really high.

Last time it was Green God, this time it's Itakua.

interesting.

Li Ming recalled the two books that he and Kurosawa found in the drawer in the white dream of the hospital before the laboratory. Could it be that White Night Syndrome has a great relationship with the Cthulhu Mythos?

It can be seen from the following text that this thing is indeed in a similar situation to Wendigo, except for the paragraphs that the policeman read to him, there are also texts about appearance.

"Another common appearance of Itakua is a hairy humanoid with huge horns, its claws are as sharp as knives, its mouth has vicious fangs, and its eyes are shining with fire.

It will exhale a large cloud of mist from its mouth, and snowflakes will surround it strangely. This incarnation is likely to be the original form of the horned nature god believed by prehistoric humans.

Ithaqua's footsteps are as loud as thunder, and can often be heard in the silent winter night, and huge footprints will be found in the snow later.

The distance between the footprints is usually about half a mile, and any stalker who follows the trail for some distance will find it suddenly disappears, which usually means that Ithaqua has flown into the sky at this point. "

Fly into the sky?

Sounds a little unreliable.

The creature that cannibalism becomes, the Wendigo, doesn't seem to be able to fly.

But then again, is Professor Shirai's Wendigo project just for the future of new humans?There should be other secrets hidden in it, otherwise this kind of thing that is only considered because of extreme thoughts cannot be banned.

Then read on.

"The residents of the Arctic Circle believe that Itakua will appear every year after autumn. It wanders in the depths of the forest on icy and snowy nights. If unlucky humans encounter it, they will become victims."

There are other texts after the end of this paragraph, but the special car of the Metropolitan Police Department has already sent them to the New World Hospital.

In the morning, they were just in time for Suzuki Otozaki to visit the wounded in the hospital, and brought a lot of Japanese specialties "Handrolled Sushi".

"Let's take a few points for each person. You guys were bombed because you came to see my sister's performance. I'm really sorry..." Suzuki Otozaki showed a sorry expression, and took out a large bag from the hand of the assistant behind him. A large box of hand-rolled sushi, "This is the sushi we made overnight. Although it's a bit rushed, it should look good, so I hope you don't hold it against it."

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, and was also given a box of hand-rolled sushi, as Otozaki said, the presentation was really good.

but……

The meat in the hand-rolled sushi was a bit whitish, and it was cut into large pieces with large grids on it. It was not poultry meat at first glance, and it was not very similar to the mammals he knew.

Watching Suzuki Otozaki leave under the support of his assistant, Li Ming secretly wrapped part of the hand-rolled sushi in a tissue, and threw the rest in the trash can.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Otozaki in front of him.

Thinking that he had already been to Suzuki's house once before, he immediately pretended to be uncomfortable in his abdomen, found an excuse to leave the hospital, and hailed a taxi to go to Suzuki Otozaki's house.

On the way, he received a message from the Metropolitan Police Department, but it was just a personal phone number.

"Li Ming, I finally found your phone number in this world in the database after all the hard work, don't be surprised, let alone put guessing my identity in the first place, in the future white dreams I will pass this way to contact you."

"I don't know if you have eaten the hand-rolled sushi given by Suzuki Otozaki? Just now, the Metropolitan Police Department received new news when investigating the details of the case. It said that the case of Kobayakawa, the victim in the original case exhibition, has made new progress. Those who are interested Unfolding the meat slices in the hand-rolled sushi, I found some body hair on it.”

"I can't tell you more details here, because most of the police in the Metropolitan Police Department, all call records and message records will be monitored, let alone in this world of abandoned white dream resources."

"Dream complications in white dreams, most of the dreams triggered are white dreams abandoned by the hospital in the past, connected together through a twisted plot line, and you should have guessed the key words of what you have experienced, It's the new world."

"Be careful on the road, Suzuki Otozaki is not easy to deal with... it should be called an NPC."

Li Ming smiled to himself, rather he already had the answer in his heart, after he tapped a few times on the phone.

"It's really long-winded, Yuan Qingyu, I didn't expect you to have this kind of mother-in-law, but don't worry, I will definitely live a good life, and it is absolutely impossible to fall down here immediately."

The words being typed appeared at the top of the dialog box, but quickly disappeared, followed by a rapid message prompt.

Li Ming didn't continue to read, but adjusted the phone to silent and put it in his pocket.

With the help of an expert in dream science like Yuan Qingyu, it is better to say that the complications of heavy dreams should be able to escape quickly.

But then again, what does the abandoned white dream resource world mean?

This is a small two-story building with an independent courtyard, the kind that traditional families would live in. Now it is not as lively as it was when the incident happened just now, with a closed door to thank guests.

After pressing the doorbell, it was Suzuki Otozaki who appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes.

"Ah, it's... the wounded from the theater? May I call you that? Or, can you tell me your name?" Otozaki asked with his face poked out.

"Li Ming." Li Ming said indifferently.

"Oh...Mr. Li Ming, what's the matter?" Yin Qi glanced behind him, then continued to turn around and asked curiously, "It's a little inconvenient here... If there is nothing, or you want to Thank you for something, let’s come back another day.”

thank.

Thank you indeed.

Thanks for serving us that meat.

Li Ming laughed to himself: "It's like this. Although I have something important to tell you, I still want to express my gratitude. Can we go in and say it? It's not convenient outside, you know, There are lots of paparazzi stalking your sister and even guarding your doorstep."

"Ah..." Yin Qi couldn't refuse after hearing these reasons, so he opened the door for Li Ming to enter, and then closed the wooden door himself.

Yin Qi was wearing a purple loose maternity dress and home shoes with roots. Looking in from the door, it was a simple European-style decoration, very neat.

Entering the house is a special living room, surrounded by a circle of sofas, it can be seen that the owner often entertains guests here.

There are large and small packages piled up in the room, and even the sofa is covered with a cloth, as if the owner is ready to leave, Otozaki.Obviously not planning to tidy up the sofa again, he took Li Ming to the dining table and sat down.

"Is there just plain tea?"

"Tea? As long as you don't give me blood, it's fine, Miss Yinzaki." Li Ming sat at the dining table unceremoniously, with a smile on his face, "Miss Yinzaki, you seem to be unprepared. It was what you did just now to lure wolves into the house."

"Led the wolf into the house? I have already killed Kobayakawa, since I am a murderer, why should I be afraid of you, an ordinary person?" Yin Qi didn't seem to intend to pretend, she sat opposite the young man, "Mr. The name doesn't sound like a Japanese native, does it?"

"I can't die with peace in my eyes. In Chinese, it has a derogatory meaning. It has a bad meaning. It is not a good name. It is even said to be the same as Miss Kobayakawa, and that is the fate."

"No, I think your name is a bit sunny. In Chinese, Ming means dusk."
