Chapter 865 The Transmigrator and Number Two's Basic Operations

"Captain Xue, should we report this to the chief?" The officer took out a summary report: "At this stage, they have not shown any danger or aggression. According to the Human Rights Commission's implementation standards, we are not qualified to interfere with them. How they choose their own lives is their freedom."

"Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened in the forest?" Xue Se was also hesitant. He hadn't forgotten what Time had told him, but as a normal person, how could he possibly believe what a weird madman had said?
He has lived in this city for so long, and all the rules and ideas are built on this city. If what time says is true, then it means that the whole city and everyone in the city are fake.

A fragment of memory flashed through his mind again; he lay in a sea of ​​blood, desperately trying to look towards the world below…

"Forget it, let's report it after we have more sufficient evidence." Xue Se looked at the documents in the archives for a long time, and the anger in his heart slowly calmed down. He felt that this society was sick because the Human Rights Committee had been indulging it, which allowed all kinds of morbid ideas to grow unchecked and all kinds of syndromes to get out of control.

"To change all this, we must not only burn down the forests and kill time, but also overthrow the Human Rights Commission and the Ethics Oversight Group and establish new rules." Xue Se didn't dwell on who was right or wrong; he simply insisted on the path he wanted to take.

The group was still discussing inside the archives when Chen Bing's voice suddenly rang out from the corridor outside: "Old Xue! Someone's looking for you!"

"No time."

“A very important person!” Chen Bing pulled Xue Se out of the archives room and headed straight into the police station.

"Just say what you have to say, don't be so secretive." Xue Se didn't like Chen Bing's way of doing things. Chen Bing took him to the place where the suspects were temporarily detained and put him into an interrogation room.

"I've brought the person here. You two can talk." Chen Bing greeted the man inside the room, turned off all recording and monitoring equipment, and turned to leave.

"You must be someone special to have Captain Chen contact me." Xue Se didn't sit down, but stood by the table, staring at the other person with an extremely imposing aura.

On the other side of the interrogation table was a young man dressed in a neat suit, whose appearance and physique were extremely ordinary. He was so ordinary that the average person would forget him at a glance, without any distinguishing features.

"I've long admired Captain Xue's name, and I'm so glad to finally meet you in person today." The man stood up and extended his hands, but Xue Se showed no intention of shaking hands with him.

With his hands dangling in mid-air, the man wasn't embarrassed. He smiled shyly and said, "It was indeed a bit abrupt to ask Captain Chen Bing to introduce me. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xu Huan, and I am the son-in-law of the Director-General of the Human Rights Commission."

The Director-General of the Human Rights Association is a very important figure in Shanghai. He seems ordinary and has no outstanding qualities, yet he managed to become the son-in-law of someone else, which is quite remarkable.

"What do you want from me?"

"The Human Rights Commission has been severely damaged by this forest incident. In fact, what we were doing was not exactly something pleasing; everyone was striving for their own ideals..."

"Stop talking nonsense! What exactly is your purpose?" Xue Se didn't have a good impression of the Human Rights Committee, thinking they were a bunch of troublesome saints.

“If I hadn’t been desperate, I wouldn’t have come to Officer Xue.” The man sat back down, his face still bearing that indifferent expression. “Actually, I’m a time traveler.”

"?"

A vein bulged on Xue Se's forehead. He was pressed for time and didn't have time to listen to the patient's erratic behavior.

“It’s true.” Knowing that Xue Se didn’t believe him, the man casually revealed some of Xue Se’s secrets and then took out his phone: “In thirteen minutes, your bureau chief will issue you a mission to go to the old city of Xinhu to hunt down a fugitive, but you will not agree and insist on investigating the case in the community where the death occurred. Three days later, you will be arrested for massacring the residents of the community and locked up in the intensive care unit of the First Rehabilitation Hospital.”

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xue Se simply didn't believe it. No one could make the bureau chief make a phone call at such a precise time, and it was even less likely that the other party would transfer him, the criminal investigation team leader who had made numerous merits, without any reason. This was a time of turmoil in Shanghai.

The man who identified himself as Xu Huan didn't say much, he just smiled.

Thirteen minutes later, as soon as the clock struck midnight, Xue Se's phone vibrated. A call came in from a number specially saved as the director's contact.

He answered the phone instinctively. The task the bureau chief gave was almost identical to what Xu Huan had said. "Chief, a new syndrome has appeared in the neighborhood where the deaths occurred! If we don't address it now, it will become a second forest, even more terrifying than the original forest!"

No matter what Xue Se said, the director did not retract the order and eventually hung up the phone.

"Now do you believe me?" Xu Huan leaned back in his chair, a faint smile still on his face, looking completely harmless.

"No, it was your Human Rights Committee that did this. You're the Director-General's son-in-law, so you must know the inside story!" Xue Se's tone turned dangerous.

“You can investigate my background. I’m just an ordinary office worker. Guess how I became the son-in-law of the Director-General?” Xu Huan predicted a few more things. He explained the fates of the people around Xue Se very clearly, and even revealed some internal police secrets.

“Unless your bureau chief is an undercover agent, how would the Human Rights Committee know this?” Xu Huan said with a hint of sarcasm. “Now, can you believe I’m a time traveler?”

"Whether you're a time traveler or not, I want to know why you came to find me?" Xue Se sat down opposite Xu Huan.

"I need your help to catch someone." Xu Huan's smile faded, and he became serious.

"Who?"

"The murderer who killed me."

"Your killer?" Xue Se's brows furrowed. "Aren't you alive and well?"

"I was killed once in the past, and then I traveled to the future and inhabited someone's body. I was killed again in the future and then traveled to this body now, becoming Xu Huan." The man's expression was extremely serious, not like he was joking.

Upon hearing the man's words, a flash of lightning appeared in Xue Se's eyes. He remembered the instructions from Shi Jian, who hoped that he would drive someone who was impossible to kill insane!

"You claim to be a time traveler, knowing the past and the future, so how could you still be killed?" Xue Se calmed down, like the most cunning and ferocious beast in the mountains, scrutinizing its prey.

“Because that murderer was too terrifying, I died twice before I figured out how I was killed. It was an unprecedented method of committing the crime.” Xu Huan slowly began to speak: “The first death happened in the past. I was in the hospital getting a check-up when I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation and died inexplicably. It wasn’t poison gas, there was no food poisoning, and I didn’t suffer any external injuries.”

"Fortunately, the murderer did not know that I could time travel and did not destroy my body. After I traveled to the future, I spent a lot of money to find the me who was killed in the past, dissected my own body, and let the forensic doctor determine the cause of my death."

Xu Huan slowed down his speech and said, word by word, "I was drowned. My lung reactions and state of death were exactly the same as those of someone who drowned. The only difference was that there wasn't a single drop of water in my lungs."

"How is that possible? Drowning on land?" Xue Se shook his head.

“I also thought it was impossible, until I was killed again in the future.” Xu Huan’s face was somewhat distorted: “I was hiding in a heavily guarded house when I suddenly couldn’t breathe. It was as if an invisible rope was strangling my neck and killing me.”

"Then I transmigrated into Xu Huan's body. Using my precognitive perspective, I gradually became the son-in-law of the Director-General of the Human Rights Commission. I used my power to find my past self who had been murdered, personally participated in the autopsy, and finally figured out the killer's modus operandi."

"How did he do that?" Xue Se was genuinely curious this time. To drown on land and be strangled without any contact was like a dream.

“This autopsy focused on the brain. I found traces of the symbrain in the brains of the bodies I killed in the past. They were barely noticeable, but they were definitely there.” Xu Huan clasped his hands together. “The symbrain drug will be completely eliminated from the body within three days, but the traces on the cerebral cortex will remain for a long time. The murderer used the symbrain to connect my senses with another person’s. He killed that person in another room or even further away. The instantaneous feeling of death made my brain and body react in the same way.”

Xue Se had never heard of this method of committing crimes before; it was the first time he had ever heard of it.

After a moment of shock, Xue Se fell into thought. If what Xu Huan said was true, then the murderer was definitely a genius. He must have extremely strong professional knowledge of brain science and be very familiar with brain-sharing devices.
