Zhou Liu stood up and said, "Let's find the person first... We need to ask the two surviving students. What was the name of the student who took the statement?"

Officer Liu didn't pay attention to this detail and was just focused on reading the report. Usually, reports would directly use male and female students to refer to their identities, without mentioning names but only characteristics.

"let me see."

As he spoke, he also picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

"puff--!"

A mouthful of tea sprayed out more than ten meters away.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Why is it still him!"

"This kid is in Mercury retrograde this year!"

Chapter 19 What if it’s not a coincidence?

"Name."

"White Elm."

"age."

"Seventeen."

"Race."

“Han.”

"..." Ai Li raised her head and glanced at him: "Don't you have any learning ability? Why are you making the same mistake as last time?"

"I just think that this is my second time to take a statement, and it's pointless to go through the same procedures, Ms. Ai." Bai Yu spread his hands.

"Procedures are procedures." Ai Li snorted lightly: "Tell me what happened to you at that time."

"There was a crack in the ground, and I almost stepped on it without noticing. Tao Rusu pushed me and saved me. Then..." Bai Yu briefly recounted the first half of what happened: "Then I jumped into the crack and found the unconscious Tao Rusu. I then held her and found a place to hide."

"Didn't you see the beast?"

"That's true, but I heard the sounds of fighting and gunshots." Bai Yu knew that he would be wrong if he spoke too much, so he insisted that he didn't see anything.

Rewi Alley took note of it, but he didn't doubt it. He simply asked, "So, you didn't see or know anything about that person?"

Bai Yu nodded.

Ai Li was curious: "You really didn't think of taking a peek?"

Bai Yu asked back, "To be fair, I heard gunshots and knew there was a monster over there, but I would deliberately go over there? What kind of person can be so fearless in the face of death?"

Ai Li thought for a moment and agreed: "Sparrow food."

Bai Yu added, "But besides the gunshots, I heard something else."

"What is it?"

"Before the fighting stopped completely, I heard a voice saying 'It's noon'."

"Fifty already?" Ai Li pricked up his wolf ears and wagged his tail. "Is today Thursday?"

Bai Yu:?

Rewi Alley:?

There were obviously some subtle discrepancies in the communication between the two sides.

At this time, Officer Liu also walked in with a kind look: "Have you finished taking the statement? Do you want to take a break? I ordered a pork chop rice. I guess you haven't had dinner yet."

Ai Li asked, "Where's my share?"

"It's in your office, go get it yourself." Officer Liu put down the pork chop rice, opened the package and handed it over: "Eat it while it's hot... After you finish, I'll send you back."

Bai Yu stared at the pork chop rice and suddenly had the idea of just confessing it, thinking that he had been exposed.

“This pork chop rice…”

"What's wrong? Not to your taste?"

"Will there be any torture and forced confession next?"

"Ahem..." Officer Liu choked on his saliva, feeling both amused and helpless. "What are you thinking about? How can we torture you to extract a confession? Or have you done something wicked? Or maybe you secretly touched that girl's thigh? Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret for you."

"The pork chop rice in the Fuso Metropolitan Police Department, where Xiaori... is living a good life, seems to be a hint of forced confession." Bai Yu closed his eyes: "And I didn't touch her thigh."

"You know quite a lot. It's true." Officer Liu leaned back in his chair. "But this is Daxia. We don't have such a tradition. And it's not popular in Fusang anymore."

"is it?"

"Well, because feeding the suspect pork chop rice is suspected of exerting psychological pressure to force a confession or bribery."

Bai Yu finally felt relieved. He was indeed hungry. He opened his lunch box and took a few bites to replenish his lost energy.

The fatigue of the heroic spirit projection was not as strong as before, which seemed to be related to the practice of the Dragon-like Heart Method. The true energy in the body was passively consumed during the battle.

The stronger you are, the easier it is to control the projection of the heroic spirit and unleash even greater power.

Although he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, Bai Yu's heart was not too shaken. After all, he had seen such an exciting and bloody massacre before. Now this short trip to the shadow world was as leisurely as a trip to the ancient forest with a folding sword.

He actually wanted to come a few more times, because...

Kill a level 17 battle-hardened beast.

[Obtain 1 eyeball of the beast]

[Gain 3 Destiny Points]

[Your compatibility with the Heroic Spirit Renxia has improved]

There are materials, rewards, and compatibility improvements... You can become stronger just by killing monsters.

Officer Liu watched Bai Yu finish his pork chop rice, and the two chatted about some things outside.

"We just received a notification that your classmate's surgery is complete. It's not a serious problem. Your handling was excellent. You stabilized the bones beforehand to prevent any secondary injuries. The bones were only broken and the muscle tissue was damaged. The blood vessels and tendons were not severed. The therapist will take care of them. You should be discharged within three days, fully able to walk again in a week, and fully recovered in half a month."

Bai Yu was stunned: "Don't they say that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone?"

"A hundred days is too much! It'll affect the college entrance exam." Officer Liu said, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just a broken leg... Even if it's a limb, it can be grown back if you can afford it. As long as the soul isn't damaged or the person dies on the spot, there's still time to save them. There won't be any sequelae."

Bai Yu: "..."

At this time, he experienced a brain storm and gained a new understanding of the world's medical level.

Yes, after all, this is a world with extraordinary powers. Some extraordinary people who specialize in the medical system can greatly accelerate the self-healing speed of the injured, even if they can only speed up the self-healing ability of cells. It is as convenient as the percentage recovery of blood in the healing technique in the game.

Bai Yu took a bite of the pork chop in silence, chewing it slowly, but gradually he could no longer taste it.

He felt alienated again.

We still know very little about this world, and some of the original common sense needs to be replaced and deleted.

If I had fallen into the shadow crack before and been ambushed by the beast, I would have been injured. If I had injured my hands, feet or head, it would not have been so easy to kill it.

Tao Rusu did save his life. If it weren't for her, he would either be lying in the hospital or in a coffin.

This world is really not that safe. Even on a sunny afternoon, things like this can happen...

"But speaking of which, your luck is really bad." Officer Liu picked up the pen and rubbed his hair with the end of the pen. "Usually in the film world, it's a rare thing for an ordinary person to see it once in a lifetime..."

Bai Yu raised his head: "Hmm?"

...I had just prepared myself mentally to think that it was normal for ordinary people in this world to encounter such things, but you told me that it was not the case and that I was too unlucky?

Officer Liu sighed helplessly, "Just think about how many times an average person has the chance to get into a traffic accident in their lifetime."

Bai Yu: “Usually only once.”

"That's right."

"Because a traffic accident basically kills people, there's no chance to experience it a second time."

Officer Liu was stunned.

"This is called survivor bias." Bai Yu took a sip of the complimentary drink and continued.

"Okay, there's something wrong with my example," Officer Liu continued. "Anyway, the point is, more than 90% of people will never encounter this kind of disaster in their lifetime. Its frequency is about the same as the average person getting hit by a car on the road. It's not impossible, but generally speaking, it's rare. Within Daxia, there are only... a few hundred thousand cases each year."

"That's quite a lot."

"Yes, that's why most people are very wary of the Shadow World... No one knows when it will descend upon them. According to surveys, everyone over the age of thirty has known at least one person who died in a disaster in the Shadow World." Officer Liu said solemnly, "But cases like yours are truly rare."

Bai Yu also pondered: "Two attacks from the Shadow World in such a short period of time... Is this normal? In this river?"

"unusual."

"Could it be man-made?" Bai Yu asked.

Officer Liu's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately denied it, "It's unlikely. How could such a thing be man-made? Currently, no one has mastered the technology to open the shadow world, and research on it is still superficial..."

Bai Yu did not continue to ask.

But he secretly kept a secret.

Precisely because he is not from this world, he will not be trapped by so-called common sense... Since it is not a 100% denial, it proves that it may exist.

Two consecutive attacks, isn't that strange?

If it was really man-made, assuming it was... then the other party's goal would definitely be my life...

But did the young Bai Yu do anything against the law?

Why do you have to let yourself die?

Is it because of a grudge against the teenager?

Or is it because once the boy died, the clues would be cut off and there would be no possibility of finding any survivors of Class 1, Grade 3?

Bai Yu felt a chill in his heart, as if his life was threatened. He wasn't sure if this was paranoia... But if a person was hit by a car twice in a week and escaped death both times, he would definitely not want to go out again in the short term.

Once bitten by a snake...

Officer Liu went out for a while and came back. Seeing that Bai Yu had finished eating, he said, "Let's go. Your class teacher is waiting outside. He said he would take you home."

"Wait." Bai Yu interrupted, "Officer Liu, I can't leave yet."

"...Are you still addicted to staying here?" Officer Liu said with a strange expression, "We don't offer chatting services here. If you're experiencing any mental or psychological stress, there are dedicated counselors at school."

"No." Bai Yu directly interrupted his own guess. Officer Liu is a good person, but he just likes to talk nonsense.

“I want to do a memory retrieval,” he said.

Liu Xinghan was stunned when he heard this.

"I'm serious." Bai Yu's face was filled with sincerity, a sincerity so strong that he almost believed it himself. "When I think about my classmates still being unsure of their fate, my heart aches... Please continue to let me recall my memories. Maybe I can recall some important information!"

...Since someone wants to kill me, I naturally can't just sit there and wait for death. The only clue I have is Class 1, Grade 3, so what I need to do is speed up the rescue process...

"You..." Liu Xinghan's expression turned serious. He patted the boy's shoulder and said, "You kid..."

He gave a thumbs up: "He's a man."

Officer Liu agreed immediately and rushed to report to his superiors.

There is still no clue at hand, and everyone is busy like ants on hot pot and headless flies, and can only make some futile efforts.

At this time, they were in urgent need of a directional clue, and Chang Ye Si was completely unable to refuse Bai Yu's request.

He quickly picked up the phone and dialed the internal line: "Contact the interrogation department and ask the memory specialist to come over for overtime!"

Chapter 20 I'm OK

On the open rooftop.

A figure pushed open the heavy door, and the wind whistled in, mixing the hot cigarette ashes in the wind, causing the person to subconsciously stagger back a few steps.

"cough……"

The man wearing an animal skin mask coughed and walked towards the figure sitting on the edge of the rooftop.

"I……"

Just as he was about to say this, he suddenly grasped his throat with both hands and fell to his knees. He felt that he could not breathe, as if he was being hung by something invisible.

"You failed to complete the mission."
