Lin Jue frowned: "Is it possible that that mysterious power is actually a form of mental pollution, affecting people's thinking and causing them to lose their memories?"

and many more!

This body has no memories either, right? And this body was contaminated, even though he has already cleaned it up.

That means the pollution of this body and the mysterious power that affected that group of people must have come from the same source. The system says the source of the pollution is an unknown monster, and the pollution from that unknown monster can affect a fourth-tier being, which means that the monster's strength is far above the fourth tier.

First, ruling out the possibility that the strange creature was the hospital director, Lin Jue could be fairly certain that the director was not in the hospital. There was a terrifying fifth-tier monster hiding in that hospital, which should not be an extremely vicious beast. If it were, Sanjiang City would have become a living hell long ago.

Lin Jue pondered this guess repeatedly in his mind. He needed to roughly understand the overall strength of the mental hospital before entering it.

"I'm not entirely sure, because we in the audit department are very sensitive to pollution, but no one mentioned anything about pollution at the time, though the effects did look very much like pollution."

Chen Fu shook his head. He pondered for a moment, then continued in a deep voice, "If it really is pollution, then it's terrifying. So far, the strange pollution we've faced has been a strong mental shock, which we've all been aware of and been able to clean up. But the effect on the hospital is silent. Everyone who enters is contaminated without even realizing it, which means that this pollution is impossible to clean up."

indeed
Lin Jue silently agreed, saying that he only managed to clean up the pollution by filming the script.

Suddenly, it dawned on him: "Wait a minute, you're saying everyone who entered the hospital was contaminated?"

"Yes." Chen Fu's voice trembled with grief: "Everyone!"

"After discovering that those people had lost their memories, Minister Bai immediately ordered the rest of the team to launch an attack. The group at the hospital also seemed to have finally realized something was wrong. They all transformed into their bizarre nighttime appearances and began to fight back."

"Those guys at the hospital look pretty scary, but they're not that strong. Our Inspection Division almost completely overwhelmed them, but that fourth-tier guy with lost memories attacked our people!"

"He has completely become a member of the hospital, relentlessly attacking his own teammates. Moreover, as time goes on, more and more investigators are beginning to experience memory loss. They can't distinguish friend from foe and are attacking their own teammates!"

"Minister Bai realized the seriousness of the situation and once again requested support from headquarters. Headquarters agreed and said they would immediately send the Fifth Rank officer stationed in the capital of Jiangdong Province to come over."

"But it was all too late! Too late!" Chen Fu's eyes were bloodshot, and the phantom of a green viper loomed behind him. "Everyone lost their memories! And then Minister Bai and I just watched helplessly as that hospital disappeared before our eyes!"

"The people from headquarters, the people from Sanjiang, Xu Xiaoqi, Huang Yong, all my team members have disappeared. They're gone forever from that hospital!"

"Even if that fifth-tier expert arrives, it will be too late. Everything is beyond repair!" The viper behind Chen Fu let out a shrill hiss, showing the anger in Chen Fu's heart. Although Chen Fu usually looks arrogant and domineering, Lin Jue knows that this captain values ​​his team members very much. From Xu Xiaoqi's usual attitude towards Chen Fu, it can be seen that the atmosphere of the Nightshade Squad is very good.

"Are there no clues?" Lin Jue's mood was also somewhat heavy. He also had a very good impression of Xu Xiaoqi, who was always very talkative, but now that she had disappeared with that hospital, she might never come back.

"No." Chen Fu took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions. "We requested headquarters to use a mysterious artifact for finding people, but we still haven't found any clues. It's as if Xiao Qi and the others have never existed in this world."

“Disappearance doesn’t mean death. That hospital might have just moved to a corner where no one has found it, maybe it’s in the fog.” Lin Jue said comfortingly, “Wasn’t that training school the same? It disappeared from the real world and eventually appeared in the fog.”

The hospital's situation is similar to that of the school, and the outcome may be the same; it might be hidden somewhere shrouded in mystery.

However, this is not a good thing. Lin Jue knows very well what the living people in that school have become. Even if they are still alive, they are essentially living dead. The level of pollution is extremely serious. It is said that those students who were rescued are still receiving mental treatment.

Chen Fu's expression didn't improve despite Lin Jue's words of comfort. He knew the outcome for Xu Xiaoqi and the others better than Lin Jue did. He snatched the entire pack of cigarettes from Lin Jue's hand, took one out, and lit it: "Four squads have disappeared. Now, the Sanjiang Inspection Division is left with only some logistics personnel and the remaining Firefly Squad. It's practically defunct. Headquarters has already issued a notice that Sanjiang and Jiuyuan will be merged soon, and headquarters will send people to manage them."

"Merge with those guys from Jiuyuan?" Lin Jue frowned. "I heard those guys aren't any good. If we merge with them, it might turn Sanjiang into a complete mess."

“What can we do? There are very few people who can light up the Spirit Realm. Sanjiang lost more than twenty investigators at once, and there is no way to replace them. We can only passively accept the merger.” Chen Fu exhaled a smoke ring: “However, Minister Bai and I are still in Sanjiang, so we can’t let those guys run wild.”

After saying that, he raised his tired eyelids and stared at Lin Jue: "As for you, don't go to the Inspection Department after today. Your files were suppressed by me and Minister Bai before and were not reported. If someone from headquarters comes later, they may start investigating you."

"If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. What do I, a law-abiding citizen, have to be afraid of?" Lin Jue said calmly. He had helped the Inspection Department a lot. Would those people at headquarters be so unreasonable as to arrest him directly?

"A law-abiding citizen?" Chen Fu sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, there's something strange hidden in that backpack you always carry, isn't there?"

Lin Jue's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled dryly, "Captain, you really have a keen eye. Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Do you really think the Inspection Department is just for show? You swaggered in with that strange bag on your back. The Inspection Department has quite a few strange artifacts. At least three of them can detect the strong resentment emanating from your backpack. Minister Bai and I both know about this. We just didn't say anything because we temporarily consider you one of our own."

"Minister Bai knows too?" Lin Jue thought he had hidden it very well, but thinking about it, it made sense. Although the Sanjiang Inspection Division was only a branch, it must have many means to guard a city. The other party just didn't want to investigate him.

"Don't treat everyone like fools, especially those people at headquarters." Chen Fu's words were harsh, but they were actually a reminder to Lin Jue. (End of Chapter)
