Chapter 568 Brainstorming

Soon, Zhuge Huang compiled the video of the laughter scene and the information currently available, and distributed it to the students via mobile phones. He also prepared certificates and equipment suitable for operations in this world for everyone, and briefly explained the precautions.

"I will keep in touch with the Supernatural Response Division at all times. Once there is new information, I will share it with you immediately. Please act now."

The students accepted the task and left PwC University one after another.

Although Zhuge Huang said that the competition had ended and everyone no longer needed to stick to the original teams, they were still more familiar with their classmates. The contestants still acted in their original teams. However, because Puhua University was located in the suburbs, their initial direction of movement was still towards the city center.

“Is this the world of [supernatural]?”

Sitting in the bus heading to the city, looking out the window at the tall buildings and busy traffic, Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh: "It looks no different from the main world."

"There is still a difference." Zhai Xixi reminded: "Look at the pedestrians on the street. Sometimes there are people whose bodies are slightly translucent... Those are spirits."

"Really?" Xiao Tian's eyes lit up. "Do you think I can kill this weakest spirit with my inner energy?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Lu Fei said, "Although I have never been to [Spirituals], I have communicated with my classmates from Puhua Mountain before. They said that ordinary spirits are completely harmless to practitioners. Not to mention Gangqi, even the physique strengthened by the Guben Realm can hurt them with the full Qi and blood."

"So weak?" Xiao Tian curled his lips: "Then there's no point in bullying them. Are there any powerful ghosts or something?"

"It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble. Don't forget our mission." Old Miaomiao said, "First we should go to that commercial street to investigate the scene and find the people who were infected by the laughter."

"Go to the Commercial Street?" Lei Tianyang looked at the route instructions in the bus with a look of astonishment: "It seems that this bus doesn't even go to the Commercial Street, right?"

"What?" Several people were stunned. "Who proposed to build this car?"

"It seemed like..." Lu Fei looked at Luo Jun: "Did Luo Jun lead the way?"

"Didn't you say that it would be right to follow you?" Xiao Tian asked angrily, "How did you lead me astray?"

"I mean, it's right to follow me..." Luo Jun didn't even raise his eyelids, and kept swiping his phone: "But I didn't say I would take you to the commercial street..."

"Where else are we going if not to the commercial street?" Xiao Tian's eyebrows stood up, and he instinctively raised his hand to grab Luo Jun's collar, but Ling Xin grabbed his wrist.

"I believe he must have his reasons for doing this." Ling Xin pushed Xiao Tian's hand back.

"Ling Xin still understands me." Luo Jun smiled, turned his phone over, showed it to them and said, "My goal is here!"

"This is..." Everyone took a look and found that it was the homepage of a hospital.

"Huangquan City Ning'an Psychological Rehabilitation Center?" Several people were stunned when they saw it, then frowned and said, "Isn't this a mental hospital?"

"That's just the surface." Luo Jun smiled and said, "The real body of this hospital is actually the Huangquan City Supernatural Response Department."

"Supernatural Response Division?" Several people were surprised. "Aren't they in all the major police stations?"

During the previous meeting, someone asked about the Paranormal Response Department. Zhuge Huang's answer was that the Paranormal Response Department has personnel stationed in all major police stations. When help is needed, just call the police and use a special contact code to contact someone in the Paranormal Response Department.

"Those in the major police stations are just expatriates. The Paranormal Response Division should also have a headquarters."

Zhai Xixi asked curiously, "But Professor Zhuge didn't mention anything about the headquarters. How did you know it was in this hospital?"

Luo Jun flipped through his phone: "Look, the laughing infected person who died in the photos at the scene. Although he was wearing a coat and his limbs were severely twisted, and his clothes were stained with blood, but if you look closely, the lining under his coat..."

"The lining inside?" Everyone carefully distinguished and finally found a clue from the messy and twisted corpse: "It has vertical stripes? Could it be a hospital gown?"

Luo Jun smiled and nodded: "This guy ran away from the hospital. Hospitals with compulsory detention measures are usually mental hospitals. Think about it, how would ordinary people react if they saw a ghost?"

"I'll be scared..." Xiao Tian blinked.

"I would suspect that I have mental problems." Ling Xin replied: "Come here for consultation?"

Luo Jun nodded: "Even if there is nothing wrong, if you keep encountering ghosts, you will get scared and have some problems. And if you often talk about supernatural events with people around you, they will probably treat it as a mental illness... So mental hospitals are very convenient for collecting information about supernatural events."

"There are two mental hospitals in Huangquan City. The Ning'an Psychological Rehabilitation Center is located in the bustling area of ​​the city center. It is also large in scale and more convenient for responding to emergencies in various parts of the city. The other one is located in the suburbs. It cannot be compared with Ning'an in terms of location or scale."

"So you suspect that the Supernatural Response Department is hidden in the Ning'an Psychological Rehabilitation Center?" Old Miaomiao widened her eyes.

"About nine out of ten." Luo Jun said with a smile.

"Even so...what are we going there for?" Zhai Xixi frowned and said, "Aren't we going to help catch the witnesses?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Luo Jun looked out the window, smiling without saying a word.

At the same time, in the commercial district in the city center, the team from Tianjing University had arrived at the commercial district where the incident occurred not long ago.

The performance has been stopped and the stage has been blocked. Police and paranormal response personnel are busy on the scene. Ordinary people can only watch the excitement from afar outside the isolation area.

After showing their credentials, the students of the Tianjing team were allowed to enter the scene. The person in charge of the scene was a man in his forties with an easy-going temperament. After seeing the students, he smiled kindly: "Are you all from Puhua College? You are really young and promising. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Xin, and I am the captain of the paranormal response team of the Qiaodong District Police Department."

"Hello, Captain Li." Xu Dacheng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Xin. "We are students from the School of Spiritual Research. Professor Zhuge asked us to come to the scene to help."

"I heard about it." Li Xin nodded. "We have already controlled a lot of witnesses at the first time, but most of them still fled the scene. Although there are surveillance cameras and videos at the scene, the shooting angle and clarity are limited, and it is difficult to lock all witnesses. So we are now hoping to track down more witnesses through the traces left at the scene."

"We do have a solution for this," said a petite girl with airy bangs. Her name is Song Yufei, and she is an illusionist. "However, it may be more conspicuous on the spot and may easily cause a commotion among ordinary audiences."

Hearing her say that, Li Xin's eyes widened with excitement: "Really? That's great." As he said that, he ordered the team members of the Supernatural Response Department next to him: "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Xu, the two of you go and clear the onlookers." The two young men nodded, one on each side, walked to the edge of the isolation, formed seals and activated illusions. As the waves spread, the onlookers became dazed, and then left on their own.

Afterwards, they set up shielding nodules near the stage so that passersby would not notice the strange phenomenon here.

When everything was ready, Song Yufei came to the bottom of the stage, found a suitable position, then took out a bottle of Dust of Reappearance and scattered a handful of it.

As the dust of reappearance dissipated, the originally empty place suddenly became filled with a large number of spectators, and the scene of the performance not long ago was perfectly reproduced.

Seeing this scene, not only the ordinary police, but also the members of the Paranormal Response Division widened their eyes, marveling at the magical technology of Puhua University, while also rushing to record the appearance of the audience at the scene. With this high-definition panoramic video and photos, with the help of monitoring equipment throughout Huangquan City, a large number of witnesses can be quickly identified.

"It seems that coming here first is indeed the right choice." Xu Dacheng said with a smile: "Compared to relying on limited information to investigate, this is much more efficient."

"It's a pity to waste my Dust of Reappearance." Song Yufei pouted and said, "Although the grade of this thing is not too high, it is a hot commodity and it is hard to get."

"Don't worry, go back and report to Professor Zhuge, and he will definitely reward you." Bai Renxin comforted with a smile.

As they were talking, another person came to the scene through the blockade. It was the Kansai team. Several of them were carrying cat cages filled with pet cats.

"You guys thought of this too?" Ouyang Yu said with a smile, "Unfortunately, not as fast as us."

"Dust of Reappearance?" A tall and thin boy from the Kansai team nodded and said, "It's indeed a good idea."

His name is Jin Qi, and he is a senior student at Kansai University. He studies both the transformation and illusion schools, and is the strongest player at Kansai University.

"But the range of the Reappearing Dust is limited. How much do you have? Are they enough to spread all over the scene?"

"This..." Everyone in the Tianjing team looked at each other, but Jin Qi smiled and said, "The reason I came here is this..."

As he spoke, his teammates behind him picked up a few cages, and the pet cats inside seemed a little scared.

"I was just about to ask, why did you bring a few cats here?" Wei Donghai asked curiously.

"These are not ordinary cats." Qin Junsong of the Kansai team smiled and pointed diagonally upwards: "These cats come from there."

Everyone looked up and discovered that the direction he was pointing to was a cat cafe on the third floor of a shopping mall. Through a huge floor-to-ceiling window, they could clearly see the furnishings inside. Presumably, the customers who were petting the cats inside could also take in the performance at that time by simply lowering their heads.

"We went to the cat cafe to investigate. When the incident happened, these cats were always around the window. They must have seen the scene at that time." Jin Qi explained: "I can read the memories of these cats through illusion."

"So what if I read it?" Ouyang Yu said unconvincedly, "Can I see everything clearly with just one glance?"

Jin Qi smiled and said, "The clarity of visual perception is far superior to that of electronic cameras. Moreover, cats' vision is much better than that of humans."

"Then it would be better to directly read the memory of the actor on stage at that time..." Ouyang Yu curled his lips, and Xu Dacheng corrected him: "Reading memory is a very delicate operation, which may cause irreversible damage to the brain nerves. It is too dangerous for humans to use it."

No matter what, it's always a good thing to have someone to help. The [supernatural] world is proficient in illusions, and the Supernatural Response Department also has many technologies developed for illusions. Captain Li Xin immediately coordinated some props that can materialize memories to assist Jin Qi in extracting the images seen by these cats.

Not long after, people from Dongchuan College and Puhuashan College also arrived, using their own methods to collect clues. It seemed that everyone had unanimously chosen the crime scene as their first destination.

With the help of the students, the police obtained a lot of new clues and intelligence, which was quickly passed on to paranormal response personnel throughout the city, greatly increasing their search efficiency.

It seems that there is still hope that this mission can be completed.

"Did you notice? Only Ning Dong's gang didn't come?" Zhuge Lan suddenly said when everyone was working together to find clues.

"Maybe they didn't expect this trick and they foolishly went around the city looking for witnesses?" Ouyang Yu said with a smile.

"Impossible!" Sun Xiaowei and Zhuge Zi said in unison: "Luo Jun would definitely not have thought of this!"

After saying that, the two girls looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"You don't have to be so excited..." Ouyang Yu smiled awkwardly.

"We have experienced that mission with Luo Jun!" Sun Xiaowei said, "He will not miss any details. He can always find clues that others cannot see and find ways to solve problems that others cannot think of."

Zhuge Ziye nodded: "Since he didn't appear here, he must have found more important clues!"

Hearing what she said, everyone else frowned.

Yes, Luo Jun is also a famous genius. Although he did not show much strength in the previous rounds of exchanges, his terrifying memory is enough to show that he has extraordinary brain power. It is impossible for him not to see such obvious clues.

"Hmph, even if he really found the clue, he wouldn't share it with us at such a critical moment. He's just a selfish guy who wants to show off!" Ouyang Yu was still stubborn, still brooding over the fact that Luo Jun caused him to rank last in the competition.

"He's not that kind of person!" Sun Xiaowei retorted, "I think you're just jealous... you can't stand seeing others being better than you! We're almost the same age, why is there such a big difference in how we behave?"

"He's better than me?" Ouyang Yu said indignantly, "Isn't it just that his memory is a little better? What's so great about that? Besides, my Great Zhendan is a land of outstanding people and talents. There are not many people of the same age who are better than him, such as Ling Xin, Xue Lan, and yes, there is also that Ye, who I heard might be a young man in his twenties... Compared with them, Luo Jun is nothing!"

"Of course Ye is amazing!" When talking about her idol, Sun Xiaowei raised her head proudly: "But what does other people's excellence have to do with you?"

"That's right!" Zhuge Zi is not as eloquent as Sun Xiaowei, but she is never vague when it comes to helping out.

"This..." Ouyang Yu was speechless for a moment. Seeing that the two of them were arguing fiercely, others came up to persuade them to make peace. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

"Huh?" Before the students could react, Li Xin from the Paranormal Response Department was suddenly shocked. He saw an instrument on his wrist flashing frequently and vibrating.

"An extremely strong spiritual reaction has been detected... The ghost power is currently estimated to be... 7.2!"
