Starting with dissecting ghost stories

Chapter 99 The Light of Humanity (Love Comes from Shen Xing)

Meiyuan Residential Community.

Shen Xing put down his phone and frowned slightly.

Three in the morning... Why is Lu Lingyun calling me at this hour?

Even if they find out that he has another garage, as long as they investigate the garage, they won't think there's anything wrong with Shen Xing. At most, they might think he has a bit of a collecting habit.

I didn't leave any trace in the garage.

If it wasn't because of the garage, then it's highly likely that something happened to Wang Xinran.

Shen Xing checked his phone; Wang Xinran hadn't sent any new text messages.

He put down his phone and rubbed his temples.

Even Shen Xing felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded after being woken up in the middle of the night.

He got up and went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water to clear his head a little.

Shen Xing changed into a simple set of clothes, thought for a moment, picked up his notebook, cut off a few pieces of the ring used for fixing, and then inserted the sterilized silver round-headed nails into the notebook for fixation.

If they have already captured Wang Xinran, then Lu Lingyun and his group must have some way to resist emotional assimilation. Although Shen Xing also wanted to believe in their method, he also had to prepare for the worst.

"Thump thump thump thump—"

—

Just as Shen Xingcai put the notebook into his pocket, there was a loud banging on the door.

So fast?

Shen Xing glanced at the space under the bed and the wardrobe.

He didn't even have time to hide the things properly.

He could only quickly pull out his suitcase, snap his fingers to wake up [02—Doll], then go to the wardrobe to pick up his shoulder bag, pull out the desk drawer, and put the DV tape and another notebook inside into the shoulder bag.

He handed the bag to the doll, looked at it, and said, "Go hide on the roof. If I'm taken away, come back when no one comes into the house."

Even if the doll runs away with the bag, it doesn't matter; consider it as helping me eliminate evidence... Cultivating this bag of abnormal flesh and blood will only take two days.

In Shen Xing's view, the puppet only made noise, and he felt the weight in his hand lighten as the puppet took the item away.

However, Shen Xing could accurately determine the doll's exact location and approximate movements by tracking the movement of the handbag. It pulled back the curtains and slipped out of the window.

After doing all this, Shen Xingcai walked towards the door.

At this moment, Shen Yuan was awakened by the almost banging sound of the door being smashed. She stood at the door with her hair in a mess, opened the iron gate, and was startled to see several burly men outside.

"What...what are you doing?" Shen Yuan took two steps back and was about to run back to find Shen Xing when she ran into her brother who had just come out of the room.

Shen Yuan quickly hid behind her brother.

"It's alright, they came looking for me." Shen Xing patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Go back to sleep."

Shen Xing walked to the door, opened it, and said to the people outside, "Sorry, I changed my clothes..."

Ah Le?

"Brother Shen, I'm closer, so I came first. Sorry to bother you so late." A young man who looked to be about the same age as Shen Xing saluted him and said, "Please come with us."

If they don't search the rooms, that's Wang Xinran's problem.

"Wait a moment." Another person stepped forward, holding something that looked like a metal detector. He scanned Shen Xing several times and finally found the notebook in Shen Xing's pocket.

After Shen Xing showed the notebook, the inspector didn't say anything more, but took out a police stun gun and stunned Shen Xing in the kidneys.

"Hiss..." Shen Xing winced in pain and bent over. Ah Le, who was standing nearby, had already given a warning and immediately helped him up.

"Brother!" Shen Yuan saw this and rushed forward, but was stopped by others.

"It's nothing..." Shen Xing turned to look at Shen Yuan, whose face was filled with panic, and said, "Go back to sleep..."

'

"No problem, let's go, Brother Shen." Ah Le helped Shen Xing downstairs.

Shen Xing was helped into a car. After he went downstairs, he noticed that there were people patrolling the streets outside his residential area.

My house is already more than a kilometer away from Wang Xinran's house, right? The cordon has already reached a kilometer away?

There were even military personnel present.

What happened?

The car was full of five people, but no one spoke. It was only his former colleague, Ah Le, who handed Shen Xing a black circular bandage.

"Brother Xing, you strap this to your calf, and just stick the electrode pads to your calf. There's a switch on that black box. 10..."

"One shock per second, get used to it." Ah Le turned to look at Shen Xing and said, "As for the rest, you can ask Lao Lu."

"Okay." Shen Xing didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the ring in his hand with curiosity, then put it on his calf and turned it on.

As soon as he turned on the switch, Shen Xing felt a spasm in his calf, almost causing a cramp.

So they use electric shocks to solve this problem... That's a good option, and it doesn't cause any real harm to the body.

Compared to directly piercing the soles of the feet with nails, their method is already very humane.

However, the device looked rather rudimentary, like a product that had been disassembled and pieced together from various parts of the same place.

If there were unusual cases five years ago, the equipment shouldn't be this rudimentary.

However, if the team was only formed shortly after you left the provincial department... then this situation will indeed occur.

What's going on? Five whole years and nothing unusual has been found. Haven't they managed to build a decent team?

impossible.

Or what happened in these five years?

Or is it that the anomaly also occurs according to a specific pattern, but this time the scope of the outbreak is too large?

Can't figure it out.

These are all just Shen Xing's guesses; he has no substantial evidence to prove his ideas.

Now, the only two clues are the physical abnormalities that appeared four or five years ago, and the wife of the netizen materialist Tangka who disappeared from everyone's memory five years ago.

"Waaah—"

'

After confirming that Shen Xing was wearing the equipment, the jeep began to accelerate and roar. After circling around, it came to Anning Street from the other side and stopped next to a white command vehicle.

Shen Xing got out of the car, and the door of the white command vehicle was opened at the same time. He saw Lu Lingyun sitting in the car.

"Come on up." Lu Lingyun waved to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing took a step and lifted his leg, wanting to get into the car, but just then the electrode plate on his left leg discharged, causing him to miss his footing and his knee to hit the car seat directly. He barely managed to avoid falling by holding onto the car door next to him.

This embarrassing scene was also carefully designed by Shen Xing, but no one on the scene showed any expression. They just silently watched Shen Xing climb into the car in a somewhat disheveled state.

"It's alright, you'll get used to it," Lu Lingyun said, stepping over Shen Xing to close the car door and placing a stack of papers on the table in front of him. "Sign this confidentiality agreement."

"Okay." Shen Xing didn't say anything or look at the contract, and simply signed his name at the end.

After seeing Shen Xing sign his name, Lu Lingyun showed no sign of relief. He looked at Shen Xing and solemnly said, "On behalf of the Ninth Detachment, I now invite you to join this operation."

"An operation? The Ninth Detachment?" Shen Xing looked somewhat bewildered. "What happened?"

"I told you about the noise in the camera before, I believe you still remember," Lu Lingyun said, looking at Shen Xing. "What I'm about to say, I hope you can believe without reservation..."

Then, Lu Lingyun spoke at almost the fastest speed to introduce to Shen Xing the first "strange" case they had received, and how they formed the Ninth Squad after containing the first "strange" creature.

The Ninth Detachment... was established less than a month ago, and its office space was even borrowed from another institution's research institute.

Shen Xing roughly figured out the development of the Ninth Detachment from Lu Lingyun's words... They didn't come into contact with anomalies much earlier than him, they just came into contact with more of them, and they hadn't even systematically classified the types of anomalies.

And now, I can say that I have officially and openly come into contact with unusual events.

"So, teacher, you came to see me for...?" Shen Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Making a last-ditch effort." Lu Lingyun took a deep breath and looked at Shen Xing, saying, "Your girlfriend, Wang Xinran, has already been corrupted by the monster."

"Although Wang Xinran's uncle and aunt have gotten rid of the influence, they are just ordinary people who don't know anything. Now, the only one who is capable and has had a close relationship with Wang Xinran is you."

"Before a person is completely corrupted by the supernatural, they will retain some memories and their original thought patterns. The fact that the crowd outside is not rioting and is still showing sadness suggests that Wang Xinran may still possess a sliver of independent thinking ability."

"We need you to try to enter Wang Xinran's home... and carry out the beheading."

"Being corrupted is an almost completely irreversible process. Currently, no one who has been corrupted can reverse this process... She's already a monster, Ah Xing."

"If we want to prevent further civilian casualties, it's up to you to make one last attempt..."

'

"If too many ordinary people die, the difficulty of information control will increase dramatically. Before we fully understand these unusual phenomena, if ordinary people find out about all this, Ah Xing..."

""

Social unrest and chaos—this is the most direct consequence.

Especially now, with doomsday theories rampant.

Shen Xing remained silent, his head bowed, seemingly unable to bear the hopeful gazes of the other passengers in the car.

"Why..." Shen Xing's voice was a little hoarse, "It's her..."

.?

He was pondering this in his heart.

Lu Lingyun is now seemingly seeking his consent, but in reality, Shen Xing almost has no choice but to go.

He could certainly choose to escape; no one could force him, not even Lu Lingyun, who couldn't say anything about Shen Xing afterward.

However, this was Shen Xing's last chance to obtain the anomaly.

He was the first to discover the anomaly, and he was also the first to come into contact with it. This thing... belongs to him.

Even if it's in the tiger's mouth, he will still snatch the food.

The thrill of committing a crime right under everyone's noses made Shen Xing feel his brain was releasing dopamine like crazy, giving him an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

This feeling was more than ten times more pleasant than going back to the scene of the family annihilation case in front of Lu Wenyin and other forensic personnel.

As for danger?

Nothing that can trigger the release of dopamine is safe or legal.

"Could you... prepare a set of surgical instruments for me?" Shen Xing slowly raised his head, his eyelids reddening, and there seemed to be tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Ah Xing..."

'

"Brother Xing, we have absolutely no idea where her strange infiltration points are, surgery is simply impossible... even headquarters doesn't know..."

'

Shen Xing stared intently at Lu Lingyun and slowly said, "I will help... I will save her."

"Please prepare a set of surgical instruments for me."

"If we fail... then you should proceed."

Please take good care of Xiao Yuan.

At that moment, everyone on the bus felt a deep tremor in their hearts.

Especially the technician who knew Shen Xing and was sitting in the front passenger seat, felt his eyes getting a little sore.

He was a good older brother, a devoted lover, and a person with a strong sense of justice... At the same time, he was also a pitiful person.

No one could doubt the humanity shining through him at that moment; all they felt was admiration.
