¡¶He Comes from Beyond¡· Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Man Without Shadow "Name." "Lu Ming." "age." "eighteen." Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was taking notes couldn't help but looked up. A young man in front of him was so dazzled by the bright light of the spotlight that his forehead was covered by his messy hair. The man gave up the idea of ??turning off the headlights and looking directly into each other's eyes. Seeing the other party's shabby clothes, the big hole on the top seemed to have no intention of repairing at all, the middle-aged man frowned and thought for a while, then left the pen in his hand on the table. Immediately afterwards, he lay back on the chair, with his right leg habitually resting on his left leg, tilted up. After fumbling around in his arms for a long time, the man took out a slender small wooden box from his arms, and after taking out a cigar in the box, the man calmly took out his own cigar from his pocket. With a "click" from the Zippo lighter, the bright flame suddenly illuminated his face. After inhaling lightly, the man raised his head and exhaled a smoke ring. After watching the smoke ring seem to fly to the light beam above his head, the man withdrew his gaze. "Do you know anyone in Qingshui City?" After taking another puff of the cigar, the man narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man opposite him. "" The young man's silence made the middle-aged man seem a little unaccustomed, and then he lightly lit the cigar twice with his index finger, and the moment the gray-white ash fell from his fingers, he spoke again: "Where are your parents? Are you from outside the city?" Come in, you should know that it is very difficult for a person to survive outside the city." However, the answer to him was still silence. Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn't continue to speak, and the room calmed down for a while. However, it didn't take long for this tranquility to be broken by a rush of footsteps. "Boss." Hearing the voice from behind, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked back. A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a light gray suit stood not far behind him. Through the gap in the iron railing, the eyes of the two collided. "What's up?" The young man coughed, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and lowered his voice slightly: "Professor Yang is looking for you." Hearing this, the middle-aged man was subconsciously taken aback, and immediately said: "Okay." Then he got up from the seat, then pushed open the iron door and walked out of the room. After seeing the guards on both sides of the iron door holding guns in their arms and staring at the front meticulously, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the person under the spotlight in the room. The young man then turned back to one of them and said, "Look at the interrogation room." After leaving this sentence, he immediately strode away. As the sound of footsteps gradually weakened, the body of the young man who had lowered his head in the interrogation room suddenly twitched unconsciously. After the sound of footsteps disappeared completely, his head suddenly lifted up, and a pair of strange eyes looked straight at him under his messy hair. To that high powered spotlight "Professor Yang, what can I do for you?" Pushing open the door of the conference room, the middle-aged man cast his eyes on the old man standing at the head of the conference table. At this moment, the old man had a kind smile on his face, and then raised his finger to point to the cigar between the man's index finger and middle finger. "Personally, I suggest you turn it off when there are ladies present." The middle-aged man who suddenly realized that he and Professor Yang were not the only ones in the conference room turned his gaze to the front of the room, where a woman dressed in casual clothes was staring at the electronic screen in front of him. "Director Jiang? Didn't you go to the Municipal Affairs Office to take care of the security work today?" The woman known as Director Jiang did not turn around, but raised a hand to stroke the bangs in front of her forehead: "Go over there for a while, I heard that you have interesting things here, come and take a look .¡± "Don't worry about her, just sit down first." Seeing Professor Yang pointing to his side, the middle-aged man put out his cigar in the ashtray, then pulled away the chair next to him and sat down. "I heard that there was an invasion today?" "right." "Tell me in detail." The middle-aged man was a little surprised by Professor Shang Yang's calm gaze. He asked, "Professor, aren't you doing research in the D4 laboratory? Why are you asking about this today?" As if guessing that the man would ask such a question, Professor Yang smiled lightly, and then said: "Xiao Chen from your Special Affairs Department said today that there was an intrusion incident, but the values ????of the detection equipment are a bit weird. He suspects that the equipment has malfunctioned. Question. As you know, the instrument was developed by me, and I will definitely ask if something like this happens." ?He was staring at the screen, and his fingers were still tapping rapidly, as if he was looking for information. Not long after, Zhang Haoran stopped what he was doing, and looked at the two of them with a strange expression on his face. "I found it." "What did you find?" Jiang Cailing, who put down the milk tea, asked curiously. Zhang Haoran closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I have found this person's identity information." Before the two could open their mouths, Zhang Haoran opened his eyes and continued: "After I couldn't find any useless clues in Qingshui City, I changed my mind to see if there were any relevant records on the Federation side. useful information." "According to the information, this person followed a group of wilderness wanderers into the Federation's Dawn City four years ago, and registered there." After glancing at the information on the screen, Zhang Haoran added: "He is an orphan .¡± "Dawn City? I remember that I went there two years ago to participate in an academic exchange meeting, but there seems to be no direct road to Qingshui City." Professor Yang looked at Zhang Haoran in surprise, his face full of disbelief. "That is to say¡ª" Feeling Jiang Cailing's gaze, Zhang Haoran suppressed the shock deep in his heart, and said in a somewhat unnatural tone: "He should have traveled 700 kilometers on foot in the wilderness" "Crossing 700 kilometers in the wilderness on foot, Zhang Haoran, are you sure he is just an ordinary person?! Even a Class A medal holder can't do this." Jiang Cailing looked at Zhang Haoran in disbelief, with the words "impossible" written in her eyes. In fact, Jiang Cailing couldn't believe that there was a reason for this incident. In today's wilderness where there is a lack of food, clean water and various unknown threats, let alone ordinary people, even a medal holder There is simply no way to survive in such conditions. Not to mention that since the appearance of the other side, there have been frequent invasions in the wilderness, and even the people in the city must always be vigilant and careful about those terrifying monsters. Under such circumstances, some people can really walk 700 kilometers to the other side a place? Facing Jiang Cailing's questioning, Zhang Haoran replied uncertainly: "Maybe he is just an ordinary person." There was a smile on the delicate face, and Jiang Cailing said playfully: "Then I would like to ask Section Chief Zhang¡ª¡ª" "What are you going to do with this 'ordinary person'?" "Lu Ming." The door of the interrogation room was opened, and Lu Ming, who was sitting on a chair, looked out of the door. A guard walked in, and then took out a key to open the handcuffs on his hand. "Come with us." Seeing that the handcuffs were opened, Lu Ming hesitated for a while, and then left the interrogation room step by step with slow steps. Following the guards through one corridor after another, Lu Ming was brought to a glass door. Seeing him stop in front of the door, the guide asked puzzledly, "Why are you standing there? Open the door and go out. You are free now." The word "freedom" made Lu Ming's pupils constrict, and then he slowly pressed his hand on the glass door, then opened the door and walked out slowly. Looking at his weird behavior, the guards felt a little baffled, but this was not what they were concerned about, so the two returned along the same way. But just above the gate, on the roof of the building, two figures stared at Lu Ming who was about to leave. "Section Chief, why did you let him go?" Zhang Haoran exhaled a smoke ring, and looked back at the young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses behind him: "Why, do you still want to sleep with him?" "Of course it's impossible, Chief, you know me, my sexual orientation has always been normal." "Then what do you think of others? Do you want someone to be your assistant?" "No, I just think" The young man was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't know how to express his thoughts. In desperation, he looked towards the figure on the street, but under the dim street lights, he suddenly discovered something¡ª¡ª The young man named Lu Ming has no shadow. Volume 2 Chapter 2 The Little Girl Selling Newspapers Today is a working day, so there is not much traffic on the streets of Qingshui City. Even if they go out, most people have a hurried look on their faces. Obviously they have their own things to do. In fact, since the appearance of the world called "The Other Side" above the head, the human way of life has been completely subverted. Endless disasters have swept the world, and the heavy reconstruction work after the disaster has left many people breathless. Come. It is also under such circumstances that ordinary people begin to struggle desperately for survival, and the price of survival is endless busyness. However, even though they were busy enough, the people walking in a hurry on Southeast Street still set their sights on the same place, or the same person. It was a ragged young man, his clothes were not only full of stains, but also covered with holes of various sizes, like a beggar. In addition, the young man's thick black hair hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and the hair tip in front of his forehead directly covered his eyes. When seeing this person, the first thing most people think of is not a beggar, because beggars cannot survive in today's era. After all, no one is willing to hand over their pity to a stranger for free . A young man who was waiting for the traffic light retracted his gaze and muttered: "Are there still people fleeing famine?" As soon as the voice fell, the conspicuous green pedestrian sign lit up on the traffic light, so under the crowd of people, the man also walked quickly towards the opposite side of the street. As soon as he walked across the sidewalk, the man discovered that there was a little girl with braids standing across the street. The little girl was thin and thin, and her face revealed a strange paleness. At this moment, she looked anxiously at the crowd, and when she saw someone walking by in front of her, she hurriedly took out a newspaper from her shoulder bag. . "Uncle, uncle, buy a newspaper." However, what answered her was the sound of hurried footsteps. "Auntie, buy a newspaper." Seeing the pedestrians going away, the little girl shouted at a young woman who was about to pass by with longing eyes. However, it is a pity that no one is willing to stop to buy a newspaper. The pedestrians on the street seem to have not noticed that a little girl has sent a request to buy a newspaper. The young man naturally saw the little girl in front of him who was trying to sell newspapers. At the same time, he also saw the conspicuous shoulder bag on the little girl. The bulging shoulder bag seemed to contain a lot of newspapers. It's just that what surprised the young man was, in this era, there are still people who come out to sell newspapers? Not to mention now, even if the time goes back to the era before the other side appeared, there is no business of selling newspapers on the street. I heard from my father that everyone used mobile phones in that era, and the existence of newspapers was more like a comparison and foil between the tears of the times and a way of information transmission. Besides, there seems to be no newspaper factory in Qingshui City, right? With such doubts in mind, the young man quickly walked past the little girl, and as expected, a small white hand was handed over to him, holding a brand new newspaper in his hand. "Sir, do you want to buy a newspaper?" Out of politeness, the young man shook his head at the little girl, then strode away. I don't know how many times I shouted, but after the final result was rejection, the little girl sat on the side of the road in frustration. She put the brand new newspaper on her lap, staring blankly at the crowd passing by. "Why no one wants to buy a newspaper" The little girl who couldn't figure it out began to sob in a low voice, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, and then fell to the brand new newspaper on her lap. "Pa-ta¡ª¡ª" "Pa-ta¡ª¡ª" "Pa-ta¡ª¡ª" No one in the busy crowd noticed such a little girl selling newspapers, let alone that the newspaper soaked in her tears was quietly changing. However, there is a place in Qingshui City that has noticed it. "Section Chief, there is an intrusion incident!" "where?" Hastily put out the cigar, and Zhang Haoran strode to the monitor. "At the intersection of the southeast street in the city, no energy fluctuations were detected, but there were mental fluctuations, and the value was 145." Looking at the punctuation dot with a flashing red circle on the screen, Zhang Haoran's face instantly became ugly. "Damn, why are you in the city?" Having slapped the table hard, Zhang Haoran clenched his fists and carefully stared at the small red dot on the screen.?With hesitation, he picked up the phone. "Director Jiang, I have already analyzed the general situation." On the other end of the phone, Zhang Haoran didn't hesitate. "you say." "The source of the invasion should be the little girl selling newspapers. She seems to have the ability to pollute, but the specific ability and method of pollution are not yet clear. In addition, the destructiveness of pollution cannot be estimated for the time being." "Currently, the level of the intrusion incident is tentatively set at level two, but considering that the mental fluctuations have been increasing, it may only be a matter of time before breaking through level three. In addition, the report given to me by the evaluation team shows that the visual area of ??the intrusion incident It is estimated to be 200 units. I arranged for the full moon to pass, so be careful on your side." "Ok, I" Just about to say something, Jiang Cailing's peripheral vision suddenly found a figure running towards him in the distance, and the figure shouted loudly while running. "Director Jiang, it's not good, there are still people in that place who haven't been evacuated ? Volume 3 Chapter 3 Intrusion Event 0-418 "What?!" Looking at the figure running towards him in the distance, Jiang Cailing could barely hold the phone in his hand. When the figure got closer, Jiang Cailing asked the other party: "Hasn't the alarm already sounded? Why is there still someone at the scene?" Wiping off the sweat stains on his forehead, the visitor said pantingly: "The evacuation team went to ensure the evacuation situation at the first time. I just took a look and found out that the situation is wrong." Frowning, Jiang Cailing continued to ask, "Where is the man?" Following the direction of the other party's fingers, Jiang Cailing did see a few figures at the end of his sight. Feeling that things were getting tricky in her heart, Jiang Cailing took a deep breath and was about to make a decision, but at this moment a voice came from the phone in her hand. "Director Jiang, I heard everything, don't worry, let's discuss how to deal with the matter when I come over." Zhang Haoran's words made Jiang Cailing hesitate for a while, and then she uttered a word into the phone. "good." Putting the phone away, Jiang Cailing looked at the officer behind him and said, "Scatter your people, one team is stationed outside the scene, and the other team goes around to check to see if there are any single people. In addition, maintain several The main evacuation points are in order to ensure that there are no accidents." "yes!" After the officer finished saluting, he began to direct the soldiers to divide into two columns in an orderly manner. Jiang Cailing looked away after watching the two teams start to perform their duties. "I don't know what's going on at the scene" After talking softly to himself, Jiang Cailing stretched out a hand towards the middle-aged fat man beside him. "Telescope." The fat man who was staring intently at the front obviously didn't react, and after an "ah", he looked at Jiang Cailing blankly. "Telescope!" After Jiang Cailing repeated it unhappily, the fat man finally came to his senses. "The binoculars are in the car, I'll get them right away." Following the fat man running in one direction with short legs, Jiang Cailing turned her eyes to the front again, and after biting her lips lightly, she took steps and decided to move closer. But at the intersection of Southeast Avenue, the mutation has not yet ended. As the paper figurines climbed out of the newspaper one after another, the scene began to become a little chaotic. Dozens of life-sized paper figurines look like zombies climbing up from hell, which looks quite weird. However, what is puzzling is that although these paper figurines got up, they didn't make any next move. They gathered together, the distance between each other was extremely close, and with a gust of wind blowing, these paper figurines also began to shake, looking a little funny. Beside the paper figurine, the little newspaper girl was still crying, and her tears fell onto the newspaper like broken threads, and the place in the newspaper that belonged to the paper figurine has now been completely emptied, leaving only the place where the tears flowed. trace. As if feeling that there was something more around her, the crying little girl looked beside her, and the paper doll that appeared out of nowhere fell into her sight, but there was no trace of panic or fear on her face. Emotions, some are just helpless and sad. "Why why no one came to buy newspapers" Raising her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the little girl looked in the direction of the paper figurine and said, "Can you buy a newspaper?" No one thought that the group of paper figurines actually moved after hearing the little girl's words. Of course, not to buy newspapers. They all focused their gazes on the young man on the side, then took a step forward, and then the paper figurines scattered and approached the young man at a slow speed. In the end, an encircling circle composed of paper figures was formed like this. The young man surrounded by paper figurines was obviously a little puzzled. He tilted his head and quietly looked at the group of "uninvited guests" around him, as if he was thinking about why these paper figurines surrounded him. But soon he got the answer. "Buynewspaper" An abrupt voice sounded, and the young man turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from. He found that the person who spoke was a paper man behind him. There was a rustling sound of paper rubbing against the low voice, but it made people feel a little strangely uncomfortable. But obviously, such a paper man is not the only one who can speak. "Buy newspaperpaper" "Buynewspaper" "Buy a newspaper" Voices sounded one after another, and the street was filled with these three words for a while. And as the paper figurines spoke, their footsteps also moved in unison.One by one, they walked towards the young man in the middle. The situation suddenly developed in an unknown direction. In the binoculars, Jiang Cailing watched this scene anxiously, but in the end he had no choice but to put down the binoculars. Seeing her put down the binoculars, Zhang Haoran looked at each other, and Zhang Haoran spoke first. "I can't continue to move forward. The mental fluctuations near the intersection are already very high. If you approach it rashly, there is a high possibility of being polluted." Jiang Cailing hesitated for a while, then lightly parted her red lips and asked, "What will happen after being polluted?" Looking forward again, Zhang Haoran habitually touched the pockets of his jacket, but after failing to find what he wanted, he couldn't help frowning. "According to the evaluation team's prediction, after being polluted, ordinary people will fall into the logic of that little girl, and eventually be corrupted and assimilated by her spiritual power, thus becoming her puppet. The paper figurine beside her is the best example. " Afterwards, Zhang Haoran opened the briefcase in his right hand, took out a document from it, and handed it over, while Jiang Cailing's gaze followed the top of the document and began to browse down. "Initial report of intrusion event 0-418." "Invasion phenomenon: It is speculated that the host pollutes the newspaper through its own spiritual characteristics, which can restore the contents of the newspaper, causing the things in the newspaper to interfere with the real world, and assimilating the contents of the newspaper into its own "captives", These special "captives" will follow the host's will and act accordingly. Remarks: It is impossible to know whether the captives have the characteristics of secondary pollution." "Intrusion incident level: It is estimated that it will eventually be level three." "Cause of the incident: temporarily unknown." "Event impact: temporarily unknown." "Solution: temporarily unknown." When Jiang Cailing's eyes moved to the bottom of the report, Zhang Haoran added from the side: "If there is no accident, the people surrounded will be assimilated by the spiritual power of that little girl, and the final outcome is most likely to join that little girl." Among the group of paper figurines, becoming one of them is also the final feedback given by the evaluation team Oh, thank you, I really didn¡¯t bring this thing when I changed my clothes.¡± Hearing Zhang Haoran's change of subject, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but turned to look at him. And a well-mannered young man stood next to Zhang Haoran at some point. The man was dressed in casual clothes. He handed Zhang Haoran a cigarette with a calm expression, and then nodded to Jiang Cailing to say hello. "Director Jiang." Seeing that this man Jiang Cailing didn't drag his feet, he asked directly: "Is there anything you can do about the current situation?" Before the man called Man Yue had time to speak, Zhang Haoran answered first: "Man Yue can't use the medals now, I just asked, he used too many medals last month, and the stress test in the submitted psychological report has hovered around the passing line The result given by the logistics department is that he can only use the medal at night in his current situation, and he can¡¯t use it too frequently, at most once a week.¡± "Then what should we do now? There are no other medal holders in the city other than Full Moon. Could it be that we want to watch that person get polluted?" After lighting the cigarette, Zhang Haoran took a deep breath and said calmly: "Besides the full moon, desire is still in the city." Jiang Cailing's face changed after hearing this, and she asked loudly: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you let him deal with it? Zhang Haoran, are you crazy or am I crazy?!" Zhang Haoran obviously expected such a fierce reaction from Jiang Cailing, he looked at Jiang Cailing calmly, and said slowly: "Let desire handle this matter is the final solution, but apart from this point, the best way to deal with it right now is to kill him." That little girl, but if there are other uncontrollable circumstances, can you take this responsibility?" Such a question made Jiang Cailing fall into silence. After a while, she turned her head to look forward and said, "I can't decide this matter. I need to ask Director Chen for instructions." After the voice fell, the two looked at each other, but fell into silence by coincidence. However, it didn't take long for a sudden shout to break the calm. "Director Ke Changjiang, take a look!" Following the direction pointed by the people around them, the two hurriedly picked up the binoculars to observe. But the situation shown in the telescope is extremely strange. The paper figurine that had surrounded the man in the picture seemed to be caught by some invisible force and lifted to a place 30 centimeters above the ground. At first glance, it seemed to be floating for no reason. . What's even more weird is that they found that the shadows of the paper figurines were slowly melting and disappearing in the sunlight, and black smoke began to rise from the orange-red uniforms of those paper figurines, as if an invisible flame was burning inside them. The shadows disappeared very quickly, and when the shadows of the paper people disappeared, these paper people also fell from the air at the same time, and in the process, their bodies quickly disintegrated into one after another thin white smoke streams, the smoke After Liu disappeared at a speed invisible to the naked eye, a young man appeared in the field of vision of the two. The young man stood alone in the middle of the street, with his head tilted, but the thick hair on his forehead completely covered his eyes, and the tattered clothes on his body were particularly eye-catching. Seeing this scene, Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran put down the binoculars at the same time, then looked at each other and spoke in unison. "It's him!"sp; The shadows disappeared very quickly, and when the shadows of the paper people disappeared, these paper people also fell from the air at the same time, and in the process, their bodies quickly disintegrated into thin white smoke streams one after another After the smoke disappeared at a speed invisible to the naked eye, a young man appeared in the two's field of vision. The young man stood alone in the middle of the street, with his head tilted, but the thick hair on his forehead completely covered his eyes, and the tattered clothes on his body were particularly eye-catching. Seeing this scene, Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran put down the binoculars at the same time, then looked at each other and spoke in unison. "It's him! Volume 4 Chapter 4 Invasion Events and Medal Holders Without any hesitation, the two rushed forward. Although the people around the two of them didn't understand what happened for a while, the leader had already rushed forward, so it would be too embarrassing for him to stand behind. Ever since, the rest of the people on the scene followed the pace of Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran. The man named Full Moon frowned when he saw this scene, and a man dressed as an engineer behind him saw that he hadn't left yet, so he walked up to him and said, "The invasion is not over yet, these Seriously, if something goes wrong Hey, you want to go too?!" Watching Man Yue leave, the engineer sighed helplessly: "Everyone is dying." Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran were the first to approach the scene. The two first focused their gaze on Lu Ming. After observing that the person in front of them seemed not to be polluted, Zhang Haoran asked the headset at the corner of his mouth, "What's the situation now?" Sample?" Seeing him confirming the situation, Jiang Cailing stared nervously at the little girl not far away. It was enough for her to confirm that no one was contaminated, and the most important thing now was to keep an eye on the source of the intrusion that caused the intrusion. If the other party has any changes, then they can only use all methods to solve it. In the sound of sparse footsteps behind him, Zhang Haoran's expression suddenly relaxed a little. He turned his head to Jiang Cailing and said, "The intelligence team just reported back that the signs of intrusion have disappeared, and the mental fluctuations have disappeared." These words made Jiang Cailing capture a message in an instant, and she asked, "Is that little girl the source of the intrusion?" Nodding slightly, Zhang Haoran replied: "I'm afraid we made a mistake. But we can't take it lightly. I notified the personnel of the processing team, and they will seal up all the things on the scene. The situation of the little girl is also handed over to them for analysis." , as for him" Having said that, Zhang Haoran glanced at Lu Ming who was not far in front of him. When he found that the other party had not changed from the time he met yesterday, he stepped forward and said calmly, "Meet you again." This young man who left a deep impression on Zhang Haoran yesterday looked at him curiously, and then said slowly, "Where am I?" After the words fell, a ripple appeared on Zhang Haoran's calm face. Not long after, as many soldiers with live ammunition settled in Southeast Avenue, this bustling place began to return to its usual state. Many people who took refuge in the shelter also came out of the shelter after receiving the notice that the danger was lifted, as if lamenting that the matter had been resolved, and some people couldn't help stretching in the sun. For them, this is an ordinary day mixed with extraordinary. On Southeast Avenue, at the window of a small two-story building, a man in a white suit was watching the intersection. After seeing Lu Ming being escorted into the car by two soldiers, he picked up the coffee in his right hand and took a sip. After putting down the coffee, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he picked up the phone from the table and put it to his ear. "I saw him, but he doesn't seem to be doing well" In Qingshui City, there is a meeting room belonging to the Special Affairs Department. The meeting table is divided into two sides and several people are sitting around it. Zhang Haoran watched Lu Ming's lips move slightly, as if he was thinking about how to speak. Jiang Cailing, who was sitting next to Zhang Haoran, was carefully looking at a document in his hand, and took a sip of the milk tea on the table from time to time. Not long after, the silent atmosphere in the room was broken by Zhang Haoran who spoke first. "Ahem, whether you still remember or not, we met yesterday. I called you here today because I have something to ask you. I hope you can cooperate with our work. In addition, if I don't remember If it's wrong, you should be called Lu Ming, right?" Seeing the young man on the opposite side nodded slightly, Zhang Haoran continued: "First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Haoran, and I am a member of the Qingshui Special Department. I am mainly responsible for handling some special incidents in Qingshui City, such as the one you encountered today. Incident. Because you are both a witness and a victim in this incident, I want to find out from you what happened in the end." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran looked at Lu Ming who was opposite, with a look on his face waiting for an answer. But what made Zhang Haoran feel strange was that after he finished speaking, the other party actually kept looking at him with a puzzled expression. The two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a cigarette, and finally Zhang Haoran couldn't sit still first. "Don't you have anything to say?" Under Zhang Haoran's questioning, Lu Ming hesitated for a while, and then replied weakly: "I don't know what you mean." Hearing this, Zhang Haoran said with displeasure: "I mean, in the invasion incident, what did you do to make those paper figurines disappear out of thin air? You should not be the holder of the medal, so how did you do it? ?" "Invasion event?" Lu Ming chewed the word, his eyes full of doubts. Zhang Haoran saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, but found it extremely strange. Jiang Cailing, who was beside him when he opened his mouth, suddenly spoke. "He should have never heard of this at all." Throwing the document on the table, Jiang Cailing turned her gaze on Lu Ming. For some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable strangeness about the young man in front of her, especially the fact that the young man's attire was very different from that of ordinary people. After thinking about it, Jiang Cailing asked him, "Have you heard of the other side?" Seeing the other party shaking his head without thinking, Jiang Cailing organized his words and continued: "About 30 years ago, our world was still in peace, but one day a huge mirror appeared in the sky. The mirror still stands above the sky." After finishing speaking, her gaze penetrated the window of the meeting room and reached the sky. All the people present followed her gaze, and what appeared in their sight was a distant sky. The sky is also like a mirror as Jiang Cailing said. If you look closely, you can still see some ground scenes on the sky, but because the distance is too far, things on the mirror appear a little blurry. Several other people have seen this scene countless times, but they just took a look and then withdrew their gazes. Lu Ming seemed to be seeing such a scene for the first time, and he was shocked and curious. After lightly tapping on the table twice, Jiang Cailing brought Lu Ming's attention back from the distant horizon. "When the mirror first came, our world has undergone many changes because of it. First, there were endless disasters, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions A year later, there was a famous scientific expedition After exploring it, people realized that this mirror is actually a world called the other side. But it is precisely because of the arrival of the other side that the civilization system, order, and rules that our world once had were all broken. " "The coming world from the other side caused the earth to begin to change quietly. Many original things were changed, and various supernatural events were born. Because this phenomenon was caused by the coming from the other side, it looks like one world is changing another world. The invasion of the world, so we also call this kind of supernatural event an invasion event. What you experienced today is an invasion event.¡± "Can you understand me if I explain it this way?" After talking for a long time, Jiang Cailing reached out to pick up the milk tea and took a sip. On the other hand, Lu Ming obviously didn't digest the information in Jiang Cailing's words in such a short time. He lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. But Jiang Cailing didn't care, she spoke again after putting down the milk tea. "When you encountered an invasion today, we planned to carry out a rescue operation for you, but in the end you were fine. This situation is not in line with common sense, so we are wondering if you are a medal holder." Seeing Lu Ming's puzzled expression appear again, Jiang Cailing continued to explain: "The so-called medal holders are actually people with extraordinary abilities in essence. As I said just now, the arrival of the other party has brought about many changes in this world. , Therefore, we who live in this world have also begun to change. Some people have begun to acquire strange abilities, and the types of these abilities are strange, but they all depend on the medals they wear." "Full Moon, show him your medal." Standing behind Jiang Cailing, the man called Full Moon walked to the conference table. He unzipped his jacket, reached out from his chest, and took out a medal worn around his neck. It was a medal the size of a coin. It was silver-white as a whole, with a crescent moon engraved on it. Its less refined shape made it look a bit quaint. "This is Man Yue, the holder of the 'Moon Language' medal." After reaching out to introduce the full moon, Jiang Cailing asked in an uncertain tone: "You shouldnot be the holder of the medal?" Lu Ming lowered his head and looked at his chest, and when he found that it was empty, he shook his head slightly at Jiang Cailing. Now Jiang Cailing became puzzled instead, and she gave Zhang Haoran a questioning look, meaning do you know what's going on? Zhang Haoran shrugged, expressing that he was not clear either. But as a result, the doubts of the two became even more serious. Since Lu Ming is not the holder of the medal, what happened to the situation displayed by the telescope? The intrusion will not stop for no reason, so there must be other forces that prevented the intrusion from continuing. But there was no one else at the scene except the person involved, so where did this power come from? The two people's minds were haunted by this question for a while. After excluding many answers, Zhang Haoran frowned and began to grope in his arms. At this moment, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his movements. "What's up?" After turning his head and asking in the direction of the door of the meeting room, the other party's answer made Zhang Haoran sit up. "Section Chief, the intrusion incident handling report given by the assessment team is out."This question lingered in his mind for a while, and after excluding many answers, Zhang Haoran frowned and began to grope in his arms, but at this moment, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his movements. "What's up?" After turning his head and asking in the direction of the door of the meeting room, the other party's answer made Zhang Haoran sit up. "Section Chief, the intrusion event handling report given by the assessment team is out.? Volume 5 Chapter 5 Abilities Without Medals Accepting the handed-in report casually, Zhang Haoran lowered his head and read it carefully. It didn't take long for Zhang Haoran to finish reading the report, and then handed it to Jiang Cailing. Jiang Cailing took the report and quickly browsed it and put it on the table. After the two looked at each other, Jiang Cailing spoke first: "It seems that we made a mistake. The source of the intrusion was indeed not the little girl, but the one she carried with her." Newspapers. Those newspapers were the source of the intrusion, and the intrusion occurred precisely because the little girl¡¯s negative emotions permeated into the newspapers with tears, and finally caused the spiritual energy in the newspapers to manifest in an incomprehensible way. Now that we've seen it that's what the assessment team meant, right?" Nodding, Zhang Haoran continued: "They should have tested the newspaper and discovered that it contained spiritual energy before they realized that things were not what they expected at the beginning. In this way, the intrusion incident seems to be a coincidence, but ?¡­¡± As soon as Zhang Haoran stopped speaking, his eyes fell on Lu Ming. Jiang Cailing looked at him, and silently completed Zhang Haoran's unspoken words in her heart. However, this still does not explain how the intrusion ended. After thinking for a while, Zhang Haoran said to Jiang Cailing: "I plan to go to Dr. Huang's place, how about you?" Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Cailing blurted out, "I'm with you." Afterwards, the two strode away from the conference room. For a while, only Lu Ming and Man Yue were left in the conference room. Seeing Lu Ming who bowed his head in silence, Man Yue didn't say anything, but quietly walked to the window of the meeting room and looked up at the sky. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff. After an unknown amount of time, Man Yue suddenly turned around and said, "Is that you?" Lu Ming, who was sitting on the chair, turned his head to look at Man Yue after hearing what he said. Two completely different eyes intertwined invisible sparks in the air. . On the other side, Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing's pace still did not stop. The two passed through places and places, and finally stopped in front of a closed glass door. The large characters of the D2 laboratory above the glass door have a somewhat solemn taste, and through the glass, you can clearly see that there are some equipment and instruments that ordinary people do not understand at all. Three or five people in white coats are working on these Go back and forth between instruments. After pressing a few numbers on the combination lock next to it, the combination door slowly opened. Zhang Haoran went in first and then walked straight in one direction, followed by Jiang Cailing. The expressions of the two were quite natural, and they had been here many times. After passing through a winding corridor, Zhang Haoran knocked on the door of a room next to the corridor. "Who is it?" The old words came from the house, and it sounded like there was an old man in the house. "It's me, Zhang Haoran." "Oh, it's Xiao Zhang, the door is unlocked, come in." After receiving the answer, Zhang Haoran pushed open the door, and an old man in a white coat appeared in sight. The old man looked a little old, with many age spots on his face, and only a thin piece of white hair left on the top of his head , and what does not match his age is his clear eyes. At this moment, he was sitting at his desk, and there was still a thick stack of documents on the desk in front of him. Seeing Zhang Hao, the old man grinned twice, but after seeing Jiang Cailing behind Zhang Haoran, he immediately asked: "Why is Xiao Jiang here too? Why, you two came here today to see the old man?" Zhang Haoran responded with a slight smile on his face: "I came to see Dr. Huang for something today. I don't know how you are doing. Is the research going well?" "Haha, sit down and talk." Pointing to the chair on the side, Dr. Huang signaled the two to sit down first, and when they were seated, he said, "Old man, I am getting old, and recently I am only responsible for checking on the young people in the research team to see if they have any problems. Flaws. But the research has not gone well so far, no, this is a dozen reports submitted by them." Gently tapped twice on the document in front of him, Dr. Huang's expression did not change, he still looked at the two with a cheerful face. Although the other party spoke with a relaxed expression, Zhang Haoran knew that this research was of extraordinary importance to the entire Qingshui City, and the indefinite lag of the research progress was obviously extremely bad news. Therefore, the old man's heart must not be as relaxed as it appears on his face now. Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Zhang Haoran went straight to the point and said: "This is Dr. Huang, I came to you today for one thing, Director Jiang and I have been thinking about it for a long time and I still can't figure it out, so I want to ask you , to see if you know anything about this." theSeeing Zhang Haoran frowned unconsciously when speaking, Dr. Huang vaguely guessed that the other party might have encountered a difficult problem. Thinking of this, he put away his smile, and his expression became serious. "You ask." After organizing the language, Zhang Haoran described in detail the whole story of the intrusion incident that took place on Southeast Street, especially the doubts that bothered Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. Dr. Huang also showed a thoughtful look on his face after listening. After a moment of silence, he said: "So what you don't understand is why the intrusion incident disappeared without external interference?" "right." With a heavy emphasis on his head, Zhang Haoran looked at Dr. Huang with some expectation in his eyes. "Then have you checked to see if the young man is a medal holder?" With a wry smile, Zhang Haoran replied: "In fact, I met that young man yesterday. At that time, because I detected a suspected intrusion incident, I deliberately brought him back from outside the city for interrogation. It turned out that he was not a medalist. Holder. And today we cross-examined again, and the answer is still the same.¡± After hearing Zhang Haoran's words, Dr. Huang also felt that things seemed a little difficult to explain. Recalling Zhang Haoran's words in his mind, Dr. Huang began to sort out his thoughts slowly. After a brief silence, Dr. Huang spoke again: "Since the other party came to this world, intrusion incidents have occurred one after another. Over the years, we have summarized three unique characteristics of intrusion incidents and applied them to actual processing." "However, aside from the three characteristics of nothing, the intrusion event has a certain logic. I think the most basic one is that the intrusion event will not be stopped by itself in the process of occurrence, and it can only and will only be affected by external forces. Intervention stops. So I think the answer to that question lies in the scene.¡± "When you described it to me just now, you said that you saw a weird scene in the telescope, and now it seems that that is the factor that continued the organization's invasion. By the way, have you checked that little girl, is she a medal holder? " Shaking his head, Zhang Haoran replied: "The evaluation team has checked in the follow-up, and she is just an ordinary person." "Where's that young man?" Zhang Haoran looked at Dr. Huang suspiciously, and said puzzledly: "Didn't I tell you just now? He is not a medal holder either." Although it is not clear what Dr. Huang's question means, Zhang Haoran vaguely noticed some subtleties in the other party's words. Dr. Huang did not give any explanation for this, and continued to ask: "Are you sure that the abnormal situation happened around that young man at that time, aren't you?" Zhang Haoran nodded subconsciously, and he suddenly felt that the old man sitting opposite him might have sensed the truth. "I probably understand why the intrusion has stopped." Hearing this, the two men's expressions froze, and they both pretended to be listening attentively. Dr. Huang didn't make a fool of himself either. He explained: "The reason why the intrusion stopped was actually because of that young man. He should be a person without a medal ability. When he encountered a dangerous situation at that time, he used his ability to survive. That¡¯s the only reason the intrusions will stop.¡± "A person without a medal ability?" "Yes, people without medal abilities. I know you may not have heard of it, but it's nothing complicated. In fact, it literally means people who can display abilities without medals." "Is there such a person?" Seeing Zhang Haoran's shocked face, Dr. Huang smiled slightly, and then said: "In fact, this kind of person existed a long time ago, and I just remembered it, you two wait a while." After finishing speaking, Dr. Huang got up and walked towards the door. For a while, only Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing were left in the room. The two of them seemed to be still immersed in the great shock brought by those with no medal abilities, especially Zhang Haoran. After a short thought, he understood what the appearance of people without medal abilities meant. Jiang Cailing on the side didn't have much shock on his face, but he was also thinking about something. The two waited for about ten minutes before the sound of Dr. Huang's footsteps began to come from afar. As soon as they entered the door, Dr. Huang handed Zhang Haoran an old and yellowed envelope. The envelope was very thin, but Zhang Haoran knew that there should be a lot of information about people without medal abilities in the envelope, so he hurriedly opened the envelope. While Zhang Haoran was opening the envelope, Dr. Huang said in a reminiscent tone: "This is the information obtained by the three directors. It is a bit old, so there are only paper documents. I saw these materials about 20 years ago, and I was very impressed at the time. Later, because of the development of Qingshui City, I devoted myself to the construction work, and gradually forgot about it. thing." "If you hadn't come here today to bring up such a thing, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember it even if I put my old bones in the coffin. This man, his memory is indeed not as good as before." In Dr. Huang's rambling memories, Zhang Haoran put down the documents in the envelope, but his face was a bit confused. After a brief absence, Jiang Cailing next to him was greatly surprised by his muttering to himself. "It turns out that in the first year after the other party appeared, there were already people without medal abilities?"?Only paper documents. I saw these materials about twenty years ago, and I was very impressed at the time. Later, because of the development of Qingshui City, I devoted myself to the construction work, and gradually forgot about it. " "If you hadn't come here today to bring up such a thing, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember it even if I put my old bones in the coffin. This man, his memory is indeed not as good as before." In Dr. Huang's rambling memories, Zhang Haoran put down the documents in the envelope, but his face was a bit confused. After a brief absence, Jiang Cailing next to him was greatly surprised by his muttering to himself. "It turns out that in the first year after the appearance of the other side, there were already people without medal abilities? ? Volume 6 Chapter 6 Recruitment Zhang Haoran slowly put down the documents in the envelope, and Jiang Cailing took it curiously, and then began to browse the envelope's description of the person without the medal ability. Dr. Huang was not surprised by Zhang Haoran's reaction, he drank his saliva and said: "I was also shocked when I came into contact with this document at first, because in the first few years when the other party came, there was no concept of medal holder. But according to the description in the data, the exact time of witnessing the people without the medals was the second year after the other side appeared. But after contacting them, I found that these people without the medals are more like the people with the abilities described by people. " "And the series of reactions brought about by the arrival of the other side at that time also led to the fact that not many people had the opportunity to witness those without medal abilities, so there were very few related records. If there is no accident, this information may be the current one. The most detailed report on people without medal abilities. The most important thing is that there was no news about people without medal abilities after that, and the medal holders appeared instead." Not long after Dr. Huang finished speaking, Jiang Cailing also finished browsing the information. She raised her head and asked, "Doctor, is there any difference between a person without a medal ability and a medal holder?" Shaking his head, Dr. Huang replied: "I haven't seen a person without a medal ability, and I don't know the difference between them based on this information alone, but judging from the appearance, a person without a medal ability may not need to pass the test to use their abilities." Medals are the medium, so in this regard, I think those without medal abilities still have an advantage.¡± "Is there any difference in the previous capabilities of the two? For example, in terms of strength or system." Facing Jiang Cailing's questioning, Dr. Huang smiled wryly and said: "There is no relevant research on this question. If you want to prove the difference between the two, I suggest you go to the person without the medal ability to verify it. good." Seeing Jiang Cailing lost in thought, Dr. Huang took another sip of water unhurriedly. At this moment, the half-hidden door was gently pushed open, and a young man in a white coat peeked out from the door. He was also taken aback when he found out that there were other people in the room, but then he turned to Dr. Huang and said, "Doctor, Professor Liu has encountered some problems. He asked me to come and see you." After nodding slightly, Dr. Huang said: "I see." Immediately he stood up from the seat, and said to the two of them, "Any other questions?" The two knew that Dr. Huang was going to be busy with other things, and they were embarrassed to disturb each other, so they got up and said goodbye. On the way back, Zhang Haoran saw that Jiang Cailing was frowning and his pace slowed down a lot when walking, so he asked out of concern, "What's wrong?" Jiang Cailing stopped in her tracks, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "Have you ever thought about something?" "What's up?" Zhang Haoran asked curiously. "Recruit him into the treatment team." "What did you say?!" Zhang Haoran heard Jiang Cailing's words clearly but couldn't help asking. "I said, have you considered recruiting Lu Ming into the treatment team?" Different from the tone last time, Jiang Cailing's words this time were full of decisiveness, so Zhang Haoran realized that Jiang Cailing's words were probably not a joke. Zhang Haoran, who wanted to refute this, stopped when he reached his mouth. After careful consideration in his mind, Zhang Haoran's tone was a bit serious: "Reason?" Jiang Cailing obviously had her own considerations about this matter. After a very short pause, she began to explain to Zhang Haoran her reasons for recruiting Lu Ming into the handling team. "One, although he is not a medal holder, he is also a capable person. Even though we don't know how he handled this invasion, there is no doubt that he has enough ability to deal with such incidents. " "Second, there are too few medal holders or ability users in Qingshui City. First, the blade got out of control two years ago and we lost a medal holder. Although there is a desire to join in the future, you also know his condition. , Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for us to let him perform tasks. In other words, we have always been short of fresh blood, and now there is such an opportunity in front of us, I think I can¡¯t miss it.¡± "Three, the Federation has been cooperating with us very frequently recently. They have provided us with a piece of information that special organizations like the Knights of the Round Table and Coastline that roam the wilderness seem to be planning something recently. I think this may be a potential risk factor , so recruiting him will give us more power, and more power will give us more confidence in dealing with possible crises in the future, won't it?" After listening to Jiang Cailing's orderly explanation, Zhang Haoran looked at the other party with a little more admiration in his eyes. I don't know if it's a woman's mind?The bonus of status, but this recruited newcomer has such a generous treatment without doing anything now? This kind of treatment is only a line lower than myself, but what you need to know is that since the appearance of the other side, human survival has become quite difficult, because the rise in prices has not led to a rise in wages. In many small companies, the monthly salary of ordinary employees hovers between 1,000 and 2,000. Even in better large companies, the figure is only around 5,000. 20,000 is enough for a small company employee. years of income. Is this kind of treatment a little abnormal? Full Moon gave Jiang Cailing a questioning look, but Jiang Cailing's attention was not on him at all, she just looked at Lu Ming quietly. However, Lu Ming's eyes were focused on the paper in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking. For a while, the three people on the opposite side focused their eyes on him. After a long time, there was a sudden "gurgling" sound in the meeting room. The three of them subconsciously shifted their gazes to Lu Ming's stomach, and the expression on Jiang Cailing's face changed. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you sign this agreement, then in addition to the treatment mentioned above, we also I can take you to solve the problem of hunger now, and by the way, solve the hair you should fix, and the clothes you need to change." After saying these words, Jiang Cailing clearly saw the throat of the young man on the opposite side rolling. The next moment he reached out to pick up a pen to write his name on the agreement and press his fingerprints. The processwas a bit quick.? Volume 7 Chapter 7 Meeting After watching the full moon take Lu Ming away, Zhang Haoran sat on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief. Jiang Cailing put the agreement into the briefcase and said, "To be honest, I was worried that he would not sign it just now." Zhang Haoran took out a cigar from his jacket pocket, but after glancing at Jiang Cailing, he finally put the cigar away. "Anyway, now there is finally a newcomer in the processing team, and then as long as I say hello to the higher-ups, the matter will be over." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran stood up and moved his body, but at this moment Jiang Cailing said, "Things are not going so smoothly." Looking at Jiang Cailing with some doubts, Zhang Haoran said: "Could it be that the above will not approve it?" "It's not for this reason, I just think he needs to be trained when he enters the job, not only some common sense to deal with intrusion incidents, but also instructive education for him." After understanding what Jiang Cailing meant, Zhang Haoran nodded, but then his phone rang. Glancing at the caller's name, Zhang Haoran's expression became a bit serious. After answering the phone, he listened carefully to the person on the phone. Not long after, he responded, "Okay, I'll come right away." Putting down the phone, Zhang Haoran said to Jiang Cailing: "We don't need to report to the higher authorities. Minister Wang told us to go to a meeting. We can mention this matter at the meeting just now." "A meeting? A meeting after the invasion?" "Yes, since the reform four years ago, several of our responsible persons have to meet after each invasion, and this time is no exception. However, the finishing report of this invasion has not yet been released. received news." Although feeling a little confused, Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing left the meeting room together. Qingshui City, meeting room of the Ministry of Security. The Ministry of Security is the highest department that coordinates all security incidents in Qingshui City. Zhang Haoran is no stranger to this place, and as the special situation department that is specially responsible for handling intrusion incidents, it is actually a subordinate department of the Ministry of Security. Pushing open the door of the conference room, the two of them walked straight in. Compared with the meeting room of the special affairs department, the meeting room of the security department is much larger and more gorgeous. No matter the decoration or all kinds of hardware, they are more than one level better than the conference room of Qingke. But at this time, there were not as many people in the meeting room as Zhang Haoran imagined. On the contrary, there were only two people in the big meeting room except Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. One of them looked to be about fifty years old, and was sitting upright in a formal suit. When he saw Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing pushing the door in, a smile appeared on his round face. "You two are here." Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing hurriedly greeted this person when they saw him. "Director Chen." "Director Chen." The middle-aged man known as Director Chen is the director of the Qingshui City Affairs Department, Chen Kang. Chen Kang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "Sit down first." After the two sat down at this time, they looked at the other person in the conference room. After seeing Zhang Haoran, they found that the other person was actually an acquaintance. "Professor Yang, why are you here this time?" Touching his short beard, Professor Yang also smiled: "You will know in a while." I didn't expect that Professor Yang would make a fool of himself. Not only Zhang Haoran was curious, but even Jiang Cailing began to secretly guess why the other party appeared here. Generally speaking, Professor Yang does his own research in the D4 laboratory, and rarely goes out, let alone attends meetings. Everyone in the scientific research department hates meetings without exception, and so does Professor Yang. So, what caused Professor Yang to come to this meeting? Jiang Cailing thought about it secretly, and then glanced at the time on the watch on his wrist. It turned out that nearly ten minutes had passed since the scheduled meeting time, but why hadn't Minister Wang who presided over the meeting come yet? While still guessing whether Minister Wang delayed the meeting because of something, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man walked in with hasty steps. After closing the door, he walked straight towards the head of the conference table. This person is the head of the security department of Qingshui City, Wang Ke. Wang Ke, who is over 40 years old, has a face with Chinese characters. He has been in a high position for a long time, even if he has no expression on his face in the eyes of others, he still looks a bit calm and prestige. Following Wang Ke's seat, all the participants of the meeting were present. Without any nonsense, he said directly: "Is everyone here? Today's meeting mainly talks about two things." "One, regarding today's intrusion incident, this is also the purpose of our meeting. Section Chief Zhang and Director Jiang, what is the matter?I have understood the details. What is the result of your side regarding the handling of the intrusion incident? " Zhang Haoran organized his language, and then said: "At present, the follow-up of the intrusion incident has been dealt with. After testing, the source of the intrusion incident is not the little girl we speculated at first, but the newspaper she carried with her." .According to the research and analysis of the evaluation team, these newspapers contain abnormal spiritual energy, which can be activated by the outside world, thus triggering the intrusion incident. Although we still don't know the specific causal relationship and manifestations, the source of the intrusion is The papers are sure of that." "As for those newspapers, I have arranged for people to seal them up. In addition, the sources of these newspapers are currently being investigated, and I believe results will be available soon. In addition, the finishing report will be released soon." "good." Seeing Wang Ke nodding his head, what Zhang Haoran didn't expect was that this topic would end like this. "Let's discuss the second topic." While speaking, Wang Ke also cast his eyes on Professor Yang. "Professor Yang, tell me." After looking around the conference room, Professor Yang said, "I won't hide it anymore, let's talk straight to the point. The D4 laboratory's project of 'Research and Development of Kinetic Energy Weapons for Invasion Events' has yielded results." "After our research, the ion warhead has been developed, and the test results of the current stage are very good. Afterwards, you will find your medal holders from the Special Affairs Division to conduct relevant simulation tests, and then you can put it into actual combat." Hearing this, both Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing had joyful expressions on their faces. Zhang Haoran took the lead and said, "Tell me more about it." Professor Yang smiled, and said to Zhang Haoran: "After the research team confirmed that the ion warhead can suppress the activities of mental particles in a small range, I believe you should be very clear about what this means. Transformation, some special weapons can also be equipped with this kind of warhead.¡± Zhang Haoran turned his head and looked at Jiang Cailing, both of them clearly saw the joy that could not be hidden in each other's eyes. For Qingshui City, the biggest beneficiary of this research is nothing more than medal holders who deal with intrusions all day long. With this technology, it can help medal holders avoid many dangers during the execution of missions . At the same time, this technology has also improved the overall security capabilities of Qingshui City to a certain extent. No matter how you look at it, the successful implementation of this technology is excellent news. wanted to say something, but Zhang Haoran didn't know what to say when he was excited, and finally calmed down, he said: "You have worked hard." Professor Yang waved his hand with a smile, and said: "What's the hard work, so much money is invested every year, if there is no result, I don't know where to put my old face." Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Wang Ke who was sitting at the head of the table said, "Section Chief Zhang, please cooperate with Dr. Yang's test later. Also, remember to send me a copy of the report after finishing it. That's it for today, Dismiss the meeting." After speaking, Wang Ke got up and prepared to leave. Zhang Haoran was still immersed in the good news brought by Professor Yang, but Jiang Cailing beside him couldn't sit still. "Minister, wait a moment, Section Chief Zhang and I have something to report to you." When Zhang Haoran heard this, he instantly realized that he forgot to report the recruitment of Lu Ming. And Wang Ke was also a little puzzled, he asked: "What else?" After coughing twice, Zhang Haoran took over the conversation and said, "This is the minister. Director Jiang and I found a person without a medal ability during this intrusion, so we want to recruit him into the handling team to be in charge of the intrusion. processing." Wang Ke frowned and said, "Tell me what's going on in detail." Zhang Haoran didn't add any details. He told the whole incident of the invasion, including the encounter with Lu Ming yesterday, and the process of finding Dr. Huang to verify the abilities of those without medals. After listening to it, Wang Ke thought for a while, and then asked: "How is the current situation of the person without the medal ability? What is his ability? Do you know his origin?" Zhang Haoran did not hesitate, and quickly replied: "He is in good condition now. As for his ability, Director Jiang and I haven't found out yet, but we can be sure that he is capable. In addition, according to previous investigations, this person used to be in the There is a registration record in Dawn City of the Federation, and the information shows that he is a refugee with both parents dead." I thought that with this information, Lu Ming's recruitment would go through smoothly, but what Zhang Haoran didn't expect was that Wang Ke frowned after listening to his words, and then threw out his answer in a decisive tone. "I disagree!"?! ? VOLUME 8 CHAPTER VIII LETTER FROM THE COUNCIL "Why?" Zhang Haoran was a little puzzled. Although events such as the recruitment of ability users are strictly controlled, it stands to reason that the minister should not reject this proposal under such circumstances. why is that? Wang Ke then gave his own explanation: "Chief Zhang, I know what you are thinking at the moment. But you have to understand that what you are recruiting are people without medals that no one has ever been in contact with before. This is an explanation, but it is only based on theory and cannot be judged by facts." "If the ability user without the medal you mentioned has defects or is out of control, then on the contrary, he will become a time bomb buried in your special affairs department, which may explode at any time." "The Special Affairs Division shoulders such an important responsibility for dealing with intrusion incidents. I don't want to see it suffer losses for no reason because of its own people in subsequent missions. And I don't want to see the second blade incident. .¡± Zhang Haoran is also aware of the blade incident that Wang Ke mentioned. It was a disaster caused by the medal holder's loss of control. The lessons learned from the blade incident are thus summed up. As a witness to the incident at that time, Zhang Haoran naturally understood Wang Ke's thoughts, but even so, he didn't think this was the direct reason for not recruiting Lu Ming. "Minister, although I don't want to bring up the blade incident again, we cannot deny that because of the blade incident, Qingshui City has regulations on the management of medal holders. In the current situation, similar incidents are It won't happen a second time." Wang Ke shook his head and said, "Worry about the recurrence of the blade incident is only one of the reasons for my refusal. More importantly, you have only been in contact with each other for less than two days, and your understanding of him is quite limited." "Let's not talk about other things, do you have a thorough understanding of this person's origin? Which member of the processing team has a clean resume? If a person with an unknown origin enters the special affairs department, if the secret is leaked, can you Zhang Haoran afford it? This responsibility?" "The last time you recruited Desire, I disapproved. His situation is somewhat similar to this person now, so even if he joins the Special Affairs Division later, I have told you that he is just a non-staff member and does not participate in any regular events. Now you are recruiting a second 'Desire', I don't think I have any reason to agree to your request this time." Seeing that there was no room for detours, Zhang Haoran hurriedly said: "He is different from Desire, and there are indeed too many uncontrollable factors in Desire's ability, but his ability does not show this characteristic, so I think he can participate in the invasion The incident is being processed." After hearing this, Wang Ke sneered and said, "What about Zhang Haoran's ability?" "this" "Can't tell?" "Minister, there is still enough time. We can slowly observe his ability in the later process." "Then you mean to let him join the special affairs department first, and then talk about it later? Hmph, this approach is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also irresponsible to others. I will definitely not agree." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he planned to leave with a cold face. Jiang Cailing realized that if he couldn't convince the minister this time, he would have no chance later. Therefore, before Wang Ke took a few steps, she stood up and said to Wang Ke, "Minister, can you listen to me." Looking at Jiang Cailing impatiently, Wang Ke noticed that Chen Kang was looking at him with squinted eyes and a smile, and sighed in his heart, Wang Ke put away his excess emotions, and said in place: "You say. " "About the medal holder, I discussed it with Section Chief Zhang, and I think it is necessary to recruit. The specific reasons are as follows." "One, although he is not a medal holder, he is also capable. Although we still don't understand how he handled the invasion, there is no doubt that he has enough ability to deal with it. kind of event." "Second, Minister, you are also aware that the current medal holders in Qingshui City are extremely scarce. And the medal holder team has always been short of fresh blood. Now that he has appeared, I think we can't miss this opportunity." "Three, according to the information provided by the Front-End Time Federation, the Knights of the Round Table and the coastline are plotting something. I believe you know better than me what these extremist organizations have done. These organizations are all potential for Qingshui City Therefore, by recruiting him into the Special Affairs Department, the entire Qingshui City will have an extra strength, and the extra strength will be used to deal with possible incidents in the future.You can be more sure when you get a chance. So, to sum up, I think it is necessary for the Special Affairs Division to recruit him. " After hearing Jiang Cailing's words, Wang Ke fell into deep thought, with obvious hesitation on his face. Seeing his expression, Jiang Cailing knew that things had turned around. But soon, Wang Ke's words extinguished the hope Jiang Cailing had just ignited again. "The reasons you said are indeed very convincing, but unfortunately, I still can't agree." "Why?!" Zhang Haoran stood up from his seat in an instant, and Wang Ke calmly looked at the two standing up, and continued: "There is already a change in the Special Affairs Department. Even if your reasons are perfect, I don't want the special situation. Co has a second variable, do you know what I mean?" Having said that, Wang Ke turned around and planned to leave again. For him, this matter is now settled, and there is no need to waste any more words. At this moment, Professor Yang suddenly spoke. "Minister Wang, it's okay to listen to me, an outsider, right? I think what Xiao Jiang said just now is very reasonable, and the development of Qingshui City has actually stagnated in these years. No matter what aspect is considered, it is our responsibility to stabilize ourselves. One thing that must be considered. So my opinion is the same as that of Xiao Jiang." If the words of Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing only made Wang Ke slightly shaken, then he had to pay attention to Professor Yang's words. Although Professor Yang is only doing research in the laboratory all day long, Wang Ke must give a certain amount of respect to such a person who is quite special in terms of qualifications and status. Seeing Wang Ke's expression showing a little hesitation again, Jiang Cailing understood that Professor Yang's words had played a role. Casting a grateful look to Professor Yang opposite, Jiang Cailing saw Professor Yang showing a knowing smile at her. After hesitating for a while, Wang Ke turned his attention to Chen Kang, the director of the marketing department. If Chen Kang opposed his proposal, then although he had full decision-making power in this matter, the situation might be in a dilemma . But the matter has come to this point, it is impossible not to ask Chen Kang. Thinking of this, Wang Ke said to Chen Kang: "Director Chen, what's your opinion?" Chen Kang squinted his eyes, obviously knowing that Wang Ke would ask for his opinion, he smiled and said: "Since Minister Wang asked, let me talk about it." "First of all, I agree with everything Minister Wang said before." As soon as these words came out, both Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran's faces changed color. Wang Ke seemed to have expected it. He just looked at Chen Kang quietly without any expression. "In all honesty, the reason why Minister Wang disapproved of the recruitment was also for the sake of the overall situation. To sum it up with our old saying, no fault is merit." "However, we still have an old saying that is also very good, that is, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. I think this is not advisable. You should not look at everything too one-sidedly, and sometimes you must know how to adapt. So, I think we can give young Zhang Xiaojiang and the others some opportunities, it¡¯s not good to be too timid, Minister Wang, what do you think?¡± Having said all this, Wang Ke didn't understand what Chen Kang meant, but now the whole situation was completely reversed. That is to say, everyone in the meeting room was opposed to what he did, which made Wang Ke a little bit embarrassed to step down. What should I do? Just when Wang Ke was silent, the atmosphere in the meeting room became not as peaceful as before, but instead had an inexplicable smell of gunpowder. After a short thought, Wang Ke finally made up his mind that he was the one who made the final decision on this matter, and it had nothing to do with him as to what others thought. After making up his mind, Wang Ke looked around at the people in the meeting room. Although his tone was not as decisive as before, he still said forcefully: "I still reserve my original opinion and disagree with this recruitment." Everyone in the conference room was obviously surprised by this result. Professor Yang was the first to ask: "Minister Wang, are you sure?" Seeing Wang Ke nodding calmly, everyone knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion. Although Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing were not satisfied with the result, they had no better way. For a while, everyone in the conference room had different thoughts. While everyone was watching Wang Ke walk towards the door of the meeting room, the door was suddenly opened, and a young man in a suit wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared at the door of the meeting room. Seeing this young man, Wang Ke asked with some doubts: "Secretary Li, why are you here?" In the conference room, seeing this young man called Secretary Li, Chen Kang muttered to himself, "Could it be that the board of directors knew the news?" Secretary Li did not talk nonsense, but took a document bag from the person behind him, and after handing the document bag to Wang Ke, Secretary Li said: "The three directors asked me to give this to you." After speaking, he turned and left, leaving Wang Ke standing at the door with a puzzled expression. In doubt, Wang Ke did not go back to the office to open the file bag as usual, but opened the file bag on the spot. There was only a thin piece of white paper in the file bag. Wang Ke opened it and found that there was only one sentence on the paper, but there was a seal of the board of directors at the bottom. After quickly browsing through the content on the paper, the expression on his face became a little weird. "Approve the recruitment of people without medal abilities."??, but took a document bag from the person behind him, and after handing the document bag to Wang Ke, Secretary Li said: "The three directors asked me to give this to you." After speaking, he turned and left, leaving Wang Ke standing at the door with a puzzled expression. In doubt, Wang Ke did not go back to the office to open the file bag as usual, but opened the file bag on the spot. There was only a thin piece of white paper in the file bag. Wang Ke opened it and found that there was only one sentence on the paper, but there was a seal of the board of directors at the bottom. After quickly browsing through the content on the paper, the expression on his face became a little weird. "Approve the recruitment of people without medal abilities. ? Volume 9 Chapter 9 Arrangements To say that the highest authority in Qingshui City is actually not a certain person or a certain department, but an authority called the council. The council now has three directors in total, and these three directors have full authority to handle any affairs of Qingshui City, including various personnel appointments in Qingshui City. Of course, it is not without reason that these three directors have such great power. One of the most important points is that the three directors are not only members of the council, but also the founders of Qingshui City. When the other side first came, countless cities were turned into ruins, and the post-disaster rescue work made very limited progress. It was also at that time that three directors led people to build this city on top of the ruins, and were later responsible for the operation and maintenance of the city. Preparation work for various departments. After the three retired, the officials of Qingshui City decided to set up a council after research, and the three members of the council were the members. However, in addition to the existence of commendation, the council has more rights that cannot be underestimated. From the operation of the city, to diplomatic negotiations, to the appointment and dismissal of personnel, the priority of the council's decision is above everything else. However, after the retirement of the three directors, they seldom paid attention to the issues of Qingshui City. At least Wang Ke has never seen the board of directors intervene in any affairs since he took office. Wang Ke even had to forget the existence of the council. But the question is, why did the council pay attention to this matter and make such an order? Wang Ke couldn't figure it out, but even if he couldn't figure it out, he would not violate the decision made by the council. Putting the envelope away, he turned around and said to the other people in the conference room: "Just now the council notified me that the recruitment application has been approved. Later, Section Chief Zhang, please remember to submit the application to me, and I will approve it." After leaving this sentence, Wang Ke quickly left the meeting room. After Wang Ke left, the meeting room was calm for a while, and the scene suddenly became a little bit fried. What Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing didn't expect the most was that the matter would end in this way. Professor Yang was the first to speak: "The council has also paid attention to this matter? This is really rare." When such a situation is rarely encountered even with his seniority, let alone Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. Zhang Haoran looked at Jiang Cailing who was on the side, and asked, "Director Jiang, is it the council you notified?" Shaking his head, Jiang Cailing said that he had nothing to do with this matter. Seeing that everyone looked puzzled, Chen Kang smiled and said, "Okay, no matter how the board of directors knew about this, the matter has been settled now. Everyone has work on their hands, so it's time to get busy." Let's all get busy." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the meeting room. Professor Yang was concerned about his own research, and after nodding to the two, he followed Chen Kang's pace and left. For a while, only Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing were left in the room. After a moment of silence, Zhang Haoran said, "There's no need to think about it. Now that the application is approved, you can do what you want." "That's right, I'll hand over the application report to you. I'll go back to the City Affairs Office." After finalizing the matter, the two also left the meeting room one after another, and the whole meeting room fell into the usual calm again. Back in the meeting room of the Special Affairs Department, Zhang Haoran saw that Man Yue and Lu Ming were still sitting in the meeting room. Compared with before, Lu Ming's changes are quite obvious, especially when his thick black hair is cut, his whole temperament has changed greatly compared with before. Against the background of fair skin and delicate facial features, Zhang Haoran finally felt a trace of vitality that young people should have from the other party, which reminded him of when he just joined the Special Affairs Department, when he was also very young, compared to now Lu Ming is not a few years older. However, the fly in the ointment is that Lu Ming's tattered clothes have not been changed, and the new clothes bought by Man Yue are thrown on the conference table. It is unknown why Lu Ming did not change his clothes. In addition, Zhang Haoran found that Lu Ming's eyes were a little strange. In the other's black pupils, he saw various emotions such as nervousness and bewilderment. Maybe it's not quite used yet? Putting the doubts to the back of his mind, Zhang Haoran said, "Why didn't you wear the new clothes I bought for you? Don't you think they look good? I think the aesthetics of the full moon are not bad." After hearing Zhang Haoran's words, Lu Ming stood up with some trepidation and explained in a low voice: "Nono." Smiling, Zhang Haoran continued: "Then put it on, I have something to talk to you after changing." Then Zhang Haoran said again: "You can change here. We will go out and wait for you to change. Just remember to cough twice after you change." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran winked at Man Yue who was not far away from Lu Ming. Man Yue understood what Zhang Haoran meant, and the two stepped out of the door of the conference room one after the other. After closing the door of the conference room, Zhang Haoran habitually took out theZhang Haoran took out another cigar from the box and handed it to him with a smile when he saw the full moon watching him all the time. "Come on one?" Full Moon shook her head and said, "This is the thirteenth time you have said this to me." Zhang Haoran smiled and shook his head, put the cigar handed to Man Yue into the box, then took out the lighter and lightly lit the cigar in his mouth. With a "click", the cigar was lit, and in the rising smoke, Zhang Haoran asked, "How do you feel after meeting him?" After hesitating for a moment, Man Yue said: "He feels a bit weird to me, I don't know how to describe it. Besides, my instinct tells me that there are secrets hidden in him." Zhang Haoran didn't speak after hearing this, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. He said, "No matter what, as long as he doesn't do anything that endangers Qingshui City, then he will still be your teammate." "Teammate? It's really fast." Seeing Man Yue sighed, Zhang Haoran was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a moderate cough in the meeting room. The two cast their eyes towards the meeting room, Zhang Haoran put down his cigar, and said to Man Yue, "Go in." Back in the meeting room, the eyes of the two were immediately attracted by Lu Ming who had changed his clothes. Man Yue chose a set of light blue casual clothes that were quite popular in the past, and the facts also proved that Man Yue had a good eye. Not only did the clothes fit well, but it also suited Lu Ming quite well. No one expected that Lu Ming, who used to be like a beggar, would turn into a slightly handsome trendy young man after changing his clothes. Zhang Haoran nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Man Yue next to him: "I think even if you are not in the processing group, you can become the editor-in-chief of some fashion magazine. Of course, Qingshui City definitely does not have your stage." Full Moon glanced at Zhang Haoran indifferently, and then said, "You seem to be very happy." Zhang Haoran didn't explain, but just said to Lu Ming: "The clothes are quite suitable for you. Next time you want to buy clothes, remember to look for Man Yue. Let me talk about the business." "First of all, congratulations. The higher-ups have approved our application, and the entire recruitment work has been completed. However, since you are an ability user, I have assigned you to the medal holder team. Afterwards, you only need to wait for the procedures to be completed, and then you will deal with it." full member of the group." "As for your subsequent arrangements, at present, because there is nothing you need to deal with, we plan to conduct induction training for you. The content of the training includes understanding the relevant knowledge of intrusion incidents and incident handling procedures, and some other types of incidents. Training, you'll know when the time comes." "By the way, I remember that you don't know anyone in Qingshui City, right? It just so happens that we provide independent accommodation for the medal holder team, so you don't have to worry about where to stay. You will follow the full moon to see the house in a while , After choosing which set, tell Man Yue that he will take you to the logistics office to register." "Okay, that's about all I have to say, do you have any questions?" Lu Ming was silent for a while, and finally shook his head. "Well, follow Man Yue to pick a house first. He is your teammate and colleague. There will be many opportunities to fight side by side together in the future. If you have any questions later, you can directly ask him." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran looked at the full moon and added: "After taking him to see the house, I will take him to familiarize himself with the environment by the way. I will go to work first. Call me if you have anything to do." "good." Seeing that Man Yue agreed to come down, Zhang Haoran left the meeting room after packing up his things. After Zhang Haoran left, Man Yue glanced at Lu Ming and said, "There is nothing to clean up, right?" Lu Ming turned his head to look at the clothes he had changed, with obvious hesitation in his eyes. Man Yue suppressed her desire to complain, and said, "If you want to keep it, then take it away." Seemingly stimulated by Man Yue's words, Lu Ming still didn't take the tattered clothes. "Let's go." After Man Yue finished speaking, she took Lu Ming and left the conference room. As a powerful force in the existing world, medal holders can basically get good treatment, and the same is true for medal holders in Qingshui City. For example, the area that Man Yue led Lu Ming to was specially opened up by Qingshui City to provide services for medal holders. Every medal holder can choose a set of their own independent house in this area, which is quite a good benefit in Qingshui City, where every inch of land is expensive. You must know that if you buy this kind of two-story single-family villa by yourself, the minimum price is more than 3 million, even if it is still priceless. Therefore, from this point, the value of the medal holder can also be seen from the side. Of course, these houses are not given to medal holders, they just have the right to live in them. If they want to obtain the ownership of these houses, even if they are medal holders, they still have to buy them, but they can buy them at an internal price. Pointing out four houses casually, Full Moon said: "Except for these four houses, you can choose whatever you like. Once you're sure, I'll take you to look inside."City. Therefore, from this point, the value of the medal holder can also be seen from the side. Of course, these houses are not given to medal holders, they just have the right to live in them. If they want to obtain the ownership of these houses, even if they are medal holders, they still have to buy them, but they can buy them at an internal price. Pointing out four houses casually, Full Moon said: "Except for these four houses, you can choose whatever you want, and I will take you to look inside when you are sure." Volume Chapter 10 Induction Training After looking around, Lu Ming found a single-family villa not far from the four villas mentioned by the previous full moon. And after looking at the villa, Man Yue immediately felt that Lu Ming's gaze was very tricky, because the villa was not close or far from the house he pointed out before. Independent, not subject to too much outside interference. Without saying anything, Man Yue took Lu Ming to the villa to check the situation. The two walked to the door of the villa. After opening the door with a password, they saw a small courtyard on the first floor. The villas in this area are uniformly designed, so each villa will have such a small yard. The function of the yard is individual use. For example, Full Moon planted grapes in his own yard, and in summer he would put a deck chair under the grape trellis to cool off. "The password lock is the initial password. If you want to change the password later, you can tell me and I will teach you how to set it." After pointing to the combination lock and saying something, Man Yue walked towards the house. Stepping into the house, the design of the room is truly displayed in front of the two of them. The living room on the first floor is not too big, and various furniture is displayed in it, and it is well organized. It seems that the house is cleaned regularly. The decoration style inside the house is relatively simple, and the main color of yellow and white looks very ordinary. After simply showing Lu Ming the rooms on the first floor, the two stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor. Compared with the first floor, the space on the second floor is smaller. In addition to the basic living room, there is also a storage room and study room on the second floor, which is also standard. However, the balcony on the second floor caught Lu Ming's attention. Seeing him go up to the balcony to look around, Full Moon explained from the side: "If you are not satisfied with this balcony, you can modify it. You just need to talk to the people in the logistics department. Of course, the modification is not free." Lu Ming, who was looking around at the balcony, did not respond to Man Yue. After checking the balcony, he walked back to Man Yue. So far, this house has also been seen in its entirety. "Have you decided? Just this building?" "Um." "Okay, I'll take you to sign." After finding the person in charge of the logistics department, Man Yue led Lu Ming to complete the registration. This also means that this two-story villa will belong to Lu Ming for a long time to come. After registering, Man Yue took Lu Ming to familiarize himself with the surrounding area. This area belongs to the exclusive activity area of ??the medal holder team, and usually no one will come here. The area is not too big, but everything is new to Lu Ming, and in order to prevent his new colleague from getting lost in the next few days because he is not familiar with the terrain, Man Yue gave a detailed introduction to this area . After confirming that Lu Ming was completely familiar with this area, Man Yue took a look at the sky. It was gradually getting dark at this time, and the faintly lit street lights on the road announced that night was coming. "Let's go, we've finished all we need to see, let's go eat." Naturally, there is no need to go outside to eat. There is a special cafeteria inside the Special Affairs Department. So Man Yue led Lu Ming to the cafeteria of the Special Affairs Department. It was meal time, and there was a lot of people in the cafeteria. After taking out a card and ordering two meals from the aunt in the cafeteria, Man Yue swiped it on the machine above the window. Holding two meals, she found a seat and sat down. Seeing Lu Ming's eyes focused on the card in her hand, Man Yue explained: "This is the work card of the internal staff of the Special Affairs Department. You need to swipe your work card to eat here. The part we spend in the cafeteria will be deducted from the salary. Although it is not free to eat in the cafeteria, at least the dishes are guaranteed and cheap.¡± "This meal is my treat, and your work permit will be issued later, and then you can use your work permit to come here to eat." Lu Ming nodded, and the two began to eat. Perhaps because they were not familiar enough, the two of them didn't talk at all during the meal. Putting down the bowls and chopsticks at the same time, Man Yue looked at Lu Ming who was sitting opposite and said, "Are you full?" "Um." "Then I'll take you back." After speaking, the two got up and walked out of the cafeteria. After sending Lu Ming to his new home not far away, Man Yue said: "I won't send it off, it's just ahead." "good." After finishing speaking, Lu Ming walked towards his new home, and Man Yue watched his back from behind, wondering what he was thinking. After standing still for a while, Man Yue turned and left. The next day, today is still an ordinary and ordinary day for Qingshui City. Although the invasion happened yesterday, its subsequent impact did not affect the lives of ordinary people. People will completely forget about the invasion in a short time . However, in the Operation Command Room of the Special Affairs Division, some people were still paying attention to yesterday's invasion. &nbsI briefly told you about the external logic of the invasion, I don't know if you still remember it. But it's okay, I'll say it again today. " "The essence of the so-called invasion event is actually a mutated, never-observed supernatural phenomenon caused by the other side's contact with our world." Having said that, Zhang Haoran wrote "the other side" and "us" on the whiteboard. Then, he drew a circle on the other side and continued: "However, this supernatural phenomenon will bring about many unknown effects and strange phenomena. I believe you should understand something after experiencing yesterday's invasion." "However, fundamentally, it is a change caused by the source of the intrusion. So when we solve the intrusion incident, the most important point is to find the source of the intrusion. ? Volume 11 Introductory Education "Only when we find the source of the intrusion, can we formulate corresponding strategies to solve the problem. Your captain has a very good method in this regard, but he is not in Qingshui City right now. I will ask him to teach you when he returns." "In addition, you just read those reports, did you find a problem? That is, the source of the intrusion is actually difficult to classify into any kind of thing. They may be anything, newspapers, paintings, flashlights, clothes Even people." "And the occurrence of intrusion events is random. In some cases, we can understand the reasons that caused them to occur, but in more cases, we can't understand why the intrusion events occurred at all." "However, after so many years of experience, we have also summarized three major characteristics of intrusion events, which we call the three noes." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran picked up a pen and began to write on the whiteboard, speaking while writing. "No rules." "No purpose." "No logic." "However, it should be noted that," Zhang Haoran took a pen and drew two horizontal lines under the word "no logic", "the no logic here refers to the fact that there is no logic on the outside of the invasion incident, but there is still a fixed logic inside the incident." Yeah, you'll understand that when you're exposed to the intrusion, so let's not talk about it now." "These are the basic knowledge you should know now." Putting down the pen in his hand, Zhang Haoran immediately remembered what Jiang Cailing said before seeing Lu Ming's half-understanding face. It seems that this young man really needs some basic guidance and education, otherwise this training may not be very effective. . After secretly making up his mind, Zhang Haoran continued: "But since I called you to the combat command room today, I will also tell you some things." After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked behind him, pointing to the giant screen hanging on the wall and the various instruments underneath, and said, "This is the three-dimensional security system of our Special Affairs Department. Its main function is to monitor the clean water Whether there is an intrusion event in the city and its surroundings. When an intrusion event is detected by us, the system will immediately obtain the latest monitoring authority of the place where the intrusion event occurred, and project the monitoring screen on the big screen. " "In addition, I want to explain to you that our special affairs department is not only responsible for dealing with intrusions in Qingshui City, but also intrusions outside the city. The monitoring range outside the city is fifteen kilometers, and intrusions within this range Once the incident is discovered, it needs to be reported immediately and dealt with in a timely manner.¡± "As for intrusion events that exceed this range, it needs to be considered as appropriate, but in general, no measures are usually taken." Without any pause, Zhang Haoran walked behind a staff member sitting in front of the instrument, and then he waved to Lu Ming: "Come on." Although Lu Ming didn't know what he was going to do, he still walked forward. When Lu Ming walked to Zhang Haoran's side, Zhang Haoran pointed to the instrument screen in front of the staff and said, "This is our instrument for monitoring intrusion events, and it will tell us whether an intrusion event has occurred." Lu Ming looked at the screen curiously, and saw a lot of incomprehensible information constantly scrolling on the screen, but there were bold numbers in blue and yellow on the upper right. what does that mean. When Lu Ming was in doubt, Zhang Haoran pointed at the blue bold number with a pen and said, "This number represents the spiritual fluctuation value of the monitored place." Moving the pen to the yellow number, he continued: " This number represents the energy fluctuation value of the monitored location." "Here we are going to talk about our criteria for judging intrusion events. When an intrusion event occurs, two characteristics will be triggered, one is mental fluctuations, and the other is energy fluctuations. Mental fluctuations can reflect the activity of intrusion events, and energy fluctuations It reflects the harm caused by the intrusion event, and the higher the value of the two, the more dangerous the natural situation will be.¡± "However, the value that best reflects the danger of an intrusion event is the value of mental fluctuations. In the currently recognized rating division, intrusion events are divided into 7 levels from 1 to 7, and they are arranged in ascending order from 1 to 7. The higher the event level, the higher the level of the event. The higher the level of danger." "The mental fluctuations generated by level 1 invasion events are between 100 and 500, while the mental fluctuations generated by level 2 invasion events are between 501 and 3000, and the mental fluctuations generated by level 3 invasion events are between 3001 and 7500, 4 Level 5 intrusion events are in the range of 7,501 to 15,000, level 5 intrusion events are in the range of 15,001 to 50,000, level 6 intrusion events are in the range of 50,001 to 100,000 As for level 7 intrusion events, any mental fluctuations greater than 100,000 The intrusion incidents within the range are all level 7 incidents." "The last intrusion you experienced was a level 3 intrusion. Generally speaking, this level of intrusion occurs every year in Qingshui City.There are at least 10 or more incidents, but most of them are outside the city. " Zhang Haoran felt that his throat was a little dry after talking a lot, and he felt much better after he went to the side and poured himself a glass of water to drink. Then, he asked Lu Ming again: "These are almost all the basic content of the intrusion incident. Because I haven't trained people for a long time, I may miss some content, but it doesn't matter, there will be time to add later." Man Yue watched the two silently from the side before, and when Zhang Haoran stopped for a few minutes, he suddenly said: "Director Jiang has been waiting at the door for a while." These words made Zhang Haoran and Lu Ming look at the gate of the command room. As expected, a woman leaning against the gate was holding a cup of milk tea and looking at them with interest. Who is this woman if not Jiang Cailing? ? Jiang Cailing is wearing an eye-catching red trench coat for women today, with the same style of women's sunglasses she often wears hanging on her chest. Seeing the two of them looking at her, she first said hello to Zhang Haoran: "Training in the command room? Section Chief Zhang is also working hard." Zhang Haoran chuckled lightly, and half-jokingly said: "I don't dare to be hardworking, why, what guidance does Director Jiang want to pass on this time?" Facing Zhang Haoran's joke, Jiang Cailing also laughed, and then said: "Of course I came to see what Section Chief Zhang is up to now." The two have been working together for many years, and there are not a few daily jokes between them. After looking at each other, Zhang Haoran looked down at his watch and found that it was almost noon, so he said to Jiang Cailing: "It's getting late, let's have a meal first, and chat while eating." "I don't have any objections. I don't know if the two around you have any objections." After finishing speaking, Jiang Cailing looked at Lu Ming and Man Yue beside Zhang Haoran with a half-smile. Full Moon shook her head first and said, "I don't care, as long as I'm not asked to pay the bill." Hearing this, Jiang Cailing burst out laughing: "Manyue, don't worry, it's not your turn to pay for the dinner proposed by Section Chief Zhang." Regarding Jiang Cailing's remarks, Man Yue just touched her nose and didn't express anything else. Zhang Haoran shook his head, and gave Lu Ming a questioning look. After receiving Lu Ming's answer without objection, a group of four walked out of the command room. It didn't take long to walk straight along the gate of the Special Affairs Department, and the four of them came to the door of a restaurant called "Gorgeous Restaurant". After asking for a private room with the waiter, Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing picked out a few dishes and handed the menu to the waiter. As the waiter closed the door, Jiang Cailing said to Zhang Haoran who was beside him: "The last time I came here to eat was half a year ago, Section Chief Zhang will have to spend money this time." After finishing speaking, Jiang Cailing said to Lu Ming again: "Lu Ming, Section Chief Zhang paid a lot of money to treat guests this time. The price of the food in this restaurant is not cheap, but the taste is also very good. Don't be restrained for a while, you won't be able to eat it anyway. Defeat our Chief Zhang." After hearing this, Zhang Haoran shook his head with a smile and said: "It's been a long time since I came here to eat. The last time I came to eat with Xiao Zhang and the others, it's been a long time. Now Lu Ming, a newcomer, has joined the Special Affairs Department. Logically speaking, the chief of the intelligence department should care about the newcomers. But the cafeteria is also tired, so I just come here and forget it." Afterwards, Zhang Haoran started chatting and laughing with Jiang Cailing. On the other hand, Man Yue and Lu Ming were completely outsiders. Except for Man Yue's occasional words, the rest of the time they mostly listened to Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. Amidst the voices of the two talking, steaming dishes were brought to the table one after another. As Jiang Cailing said, the taste of the dishes in this restaurant is extraordinary just by smelling the tangy aroma. In fact, what Jiang Cailing didn't mention is that in today's era, if you want to eat such dishes, you must have a certain social status, because not everyone can afford such a delicious meal. meals. Without too much words, everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating. It was noon, everyone's appetites were very strong, and the few dishes they ordered were wiped out in a short while. After taking a sip of water, Zhang Haoran turned to Man Yue and said, "Go back with Lu Ming first, and I will chat with Director Jiang for a while." Man Yue knew that Zhang Haoran still had something to discuss with Jiang Cailing, so he nodded with Lu Ming and left first. After the backs of the two disappeared for a while, Zhang Haoran turned his head to Jiang Cailing and said, "I have a question now." Jiang Cailing looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What?" "From his previous reaction, is it a bit early to train him now?" Frowning slightly, Jiang Cailing continued: "What do you mean?" Lying on the chair, Zhang Haoran rested his head on his hands and looked at Jiang Cailing and said, "You said it well before. I think Lu Ming should be given some instructive education."Looking at Jiang Cailing with his own hands, he said, "You said it well before, I think Lu Ming should be given some instructive education. " Volume 12: Test Without waiting for Jiang Cailing to ask, Zhang Haoran continued: "I trained him about the intrusion incident today, but in the process I found that he seemed to be unable to understand what I said. So now I doubt whether he I have not been exposed to some basic educational work." After hesitating for a while, Zhang Haoran asked with some uncertainty: "Has he received compulsory education?" Jiang Cailing pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said: "According to the description of the information you found before, Lu Ming should have lived in the wilderness before, and only registered his identity in Dawn City, so from this point of view , he probably has not received compulsory education, after all, according to the conditions in the wilderness, it is not bad to be able to survive." "And this can also explain part of his weirdness, but there is still the biggest problem I can't figure out. It stands to reason that no matter whether he lives in the wilderness or in the city, he will have a certain understanding of the invasion incident. But we first When I first met him, he seemed completely unaware of the intrusion, which is really hard to explain with common sense." Hearing this, Zhang Haoran frowned unconsciously, and after thinking for a while in his heart, he said: "Why don't we stop the training first, conduct inductive education first, and then make plans?" Jiang Cailing nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "I will take him to take a test when I go back later to see what his current situation is, and then formulate corresponding education methods according to his situation." "good." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran got up and planned to go out to pay the bill. But as soon as he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Cailing and said, "I remembered a problem. We don't understand Lu Ming's ability. Although we don't need to worry about this problem now, there will inevitably be a running-in problem when we go on missions in the future. How to solve this?" "Only he knows his ability. If he can't say it, then I think it's useless to intervene forcibly. And now there is no instrument to detect the ability. Even the ability of the medal holder now has to rely on them to dictate us. Only then can we know. Therefore, my opinion is that it is better to implement inductive education on him first, and then see if he can have more awareness of his own abilities." After finishing speaking, Jiang Cailing got up and said again: "That's the decision, let's go first." After paying the bill, the two quickly returned to the combat command room of the Special Affairs Division. Pushing the door open, the two first saw Man Yue sitting near the door, and his eyes were fixed on the front not far away. Startled by the sound of pushing the door, Man Yue subconsciously glanced towards the door, and found that it was Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. After the two of them, they turned their gaze forward again. Instead, Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing, who pushed the door in, were very curious about what made Man Yue so fascinated by watching it? The two looked along the line of sight of the full moon, and found a figure who was looking around with interest in various instruments and equipment in the combat command room, a bit like a child discovering a new world. And this person is Lu Ming. Jiang Cailing cast a glance at Zhang Haoran beside him, and then said to Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, don't look, come here and I'll find you." Lu Ming, who was checking the instrument curiously, heard someone calling him, and turned his head to look where the voice came from. Seeing Jiang Cailing waving at him, although Lu Ming was puzzled, he still walked over. When he walked up to Jiang Cailing, Jiang Cailing left a word and turned around and walked forward. "follow me." Following Jiang Cailing's footsteps, Lu Ming stepped out of the gate of the combat command room. Man Yue sitting at the door looked at Zhang Haoran curiously, but Zhang Haoran didn't explain anything, which made Man Yue even more curious. Slowly watching Lu Ming's figure disappear from her sight, Man Yue said helplessly to herself, "Should this be kept secret?" After leaving the gate of the combat command room, Jiang Cailing and Lu Ming walked through areas, and finally came to the door of a familiar meeting room of the Special Affairs Department. After pushing the door and entering, Jiang Cailing said, "Sit and wait for a while, I'll go get something." After finishing speaking, Jiang Cailing turned back. Lu Ming didn't know what she was going to do, but he found a seat in the conference room and sat down casually according to her request. However, Lu Ming didn't wait long, and Jiang Cailing came back about five minutes later. Taking it to the door of the conference room, Lu Ming found that Jiang Cailing was holding something in his arms. Just when he was curious, Jiang Cailing threw the things in his arms on the conference table. That's a few books. Picking out a book at random, Jiang Cailing began to flip through it, and the sound of flipping through the pages in the meeting room was extremely ear-piercing. Finally, when Jiang Cailing turned to a page, she stopped. Then, she pointed the content on that page to Lu Ming and said, "Tell me what these are, or you can read them as they are."Can. " Lu Ming looked at the page of paper, hesitated for a long time but did not speak. When Jiang Cailing was wondering, Lu Ming who was opposite suddenly pointed to the content on the paper and asked, "What are these?" Jiang Cailing didn't explain, but closed the book and immediately picked up the next book. After turning a few pages, she pointed the contents of the book to Lu Ming again and asked, "What about this one?" After looking carefully for a while, Lu Ming shook his head. Jiang Cailing immediately picked up the next book, and went through the same process, but Lu Ming's reaction was exactly the same as before. After repeating it several times in turn, Jiang Cailing flipped through the books on the table, but Lu Ming's answers were always the same. Looking at Lu Ming who looked at him in a daze, Jiang Cailing didn't know how to speak for a moment. The books that Jiang Cailing showed Lu Ming just now were all compulsory education textbooks. Although the survival of human beings could not be guaranteed for a time after the arrival of the other side, after so many years, the orderly development of major cities can basically be guaranteed now. In the development process, valuable talents are undoubtedly the biggest obstacle. It is also like this, not only the Federation, but almost all cities have adopted compulsory education, a system that existed in the old days. And in today's far worse environment than before, such compulsory education is almost free. Taking Qingshui City as an example, from the beginning of enlightenment education until graduation from high school, almost all education expenses are paid by the government. After graduating from high school, there is no channel to continue learning. At this time, many people will enter the company to work, and the required skills are usually guided and trained by the company's internal personnel. This is an extremely common situation, even in some government scientific research units. This is also the case. It is understandable if Lu Ming has not received elementary education and cannot understand textbooks, but what puzzles Jiang Cailing the most is that he found an enlightenment textbook on purpose, and what he points out is only some abstractions of enlightenment. Pictures, like common animals or facilities in daily life, these things should be known even to those who did not receive compulsory education when they were young. But from the beginning to the end, there was only one reaction from Lu Ming, and he didn't know. This couldn't help but make Jiang Cailing a terrible thought rise in his heart. What has this eighteen-year-old young man experienced? Is it possible that the age cognition of eighteen years old still stops at six years old? But then Jiang Cailing secretly denied this idea, because if it was true as he guessed, then this young man named Lu Ming might have problems with basic communication. Looking at it now, although the other party is not willing to speak, judging from the performance, he still has the ability to communicate with others. So what is his situation now? Doubts are doubts, Jiang Cailing quickly explained. "The test you just took is a test, which you can understand as a test related to your education level." Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood. Jiang Cailing knew that according to Lu Ming's understanding, this answer really only meant that he already knew it. So, after hesitating for a while, she said: "After the test, we decided to temporarily stop your relevant training and change it to inductive education. After you have initially mastered some knowledge and common sense, we will come to train you .¡± "Do you understand it?" Jiang Cailing was afraid that Lu Ming would not understand what he meant, so he asked a question, but this time Lu Ming gave a clear reply. "good." After receiving Lu Ming's reply, Jiang Cailing let out a long sigh of relief, then she turned around and left the conference room to call Zhang Haoran. After telling Zhang Hao the truth, Zhang Haoran's reaction was also extremely shocking. "Why doesn't he even know the content? A three-year-old child of the Enlightenment Portrait can remember it once he said it, but he doesn't know it? Now I doubt whether he can understand what I said to him during the training before." On the phone, Zhang Haoran expressed his concerns. Jiang Cailing sighed, and continued: "Although people in the wilderness don't have the opportunity to obtain compulsory education, their cognition of things is not too bad. It seems that he has never been exposed to these things." Zhang Haoran on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then asked, "What are you going to do?" Jiang Cailing hesitated for a while, and then replied: "I plan to ask a few people to help him supplement this knowledge. After he has a certain self-learning ability, let him take his time." "That's fine, but I never thought his situation would be like this. To be honest, if Minister Wang knew about this, he would probably risk going against the wishes of the council and not agreeing to send Lu Ming Recruit in." "Pfft¡ª¡ª" Jiang Cailing sneered, and then said: "Fortunately, his communication is not a problem, otherwise" Having said that, Jiang Cailing didn't continue talking, and Zhang Haoran on the other end of the phone also had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything. There was an inexplicable silence for a while, and both parties on the phone could hear each other's breathing. As if wanting to break the silence, and as if sighing, Zhang Haoran suddenly said: "The real age is eighteen years old, but in fact he is only six years old? I can't believe it .¡±p; Jiang Cailing sneered, and then said: "Fortunately, his communication is not a problem, otherwise" Having said that, Jiang Cailing didn't continue talking, and Zhang Haoran on the other end of the phone also had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything. There was an inexplicable silence for a while, and both parties on the phone could hear each other's breathing. As if wanting to break the silence, and as if sighing, Zhang Haoran suddenly said, "The real age is eighteen years old, but he is actually only six years old? I can't believe it .? Volume 13 Chapter 13 Return For the next few days, Lu Ming was receiving the compulsory education that Jiang Cailing had prepared for him. For this reason, Jiang Cailing specially found a few teachers to formulate an education plan specifically for Lu Ming's situation. Judging from the current situation, the effect is not bad. In addition, it has been nearly a week since the last intrusion incident. During this period, the special affairs department did not detect any new intrusion incidents, but after the time advances to today, the special affairs department is suddenly busy. Get up, because someone is going home. In the combat command room, Zhang Haoran was on the phone. "Do you need me to send someone to respond?" A hearty male voice came from the other end of the phone, and the other party replied with a smile: "No, no one will stop us." "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back in the special affairs department. By the way, there is a newcomer in your team." "I know, I heard Man Yue mentioned it, it seems that his situation is a bit special?" "Yes, but it's okay, I will give you full authority over his training after you come back." "OK, I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do, and I'll be driving." "good." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Haoran turned to a staff member beside him and asked, "Director Jiang is still in the conference room?" The staff member was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "I just came here and Director Jiang was indeed in the conference room, so I don't know now." Nodding his head, Zhang Haoran looked at the big screen without saying anything. At this moment, 50 kilometers away from Qingshui City, a dark green jeep was speeding across the wilderness, and the flying dust behind the jeep pulled out a long line. There were three people sitting in the car, and the driver was a muscular man. He was wearing sunglasses and shaking his head to the music in the car while driving. "Fate let us meet outside the troubled times~" "Fate made us love each other in times of crisis~" "Maybe the future is far away in light years~" I have to say that this old song from the old era made the man sing a bit of the vicissitudes of life, but it's a pity that all the tunes are out of order. At this time, the woman in white casual clothes on the co-pilot seat put away her mobile phone and shouted: "Stop!!!!" The man stepped on the brakes hurriedly, turned to the woman after the vehicle stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" The woman put her hand on her forehead and said, "I asked you to stop, not the car." "Why, I can't sing well?" The man tilted his head and asked, the woman pretended to be angry and said, "It's not just bad, people who don't know think you've been kidnapped." Just when he was about to refute, the man suddenly heard a sound in the back seat, and a weak and immature girl's voice sounded: "What are you arguing about? Where are you?" Looking at the back row of the jeep, there was a little girl in pajamas lying on the seat. After being woken up by the two people in front of her, she sat up in a daze, and after yawning, she asked, "Captain, now Where are you?" The man known as the captain glanced at the multifunctional electronic watch on his wrist, and after seeing the distance displayed on the screen, he said: "We are still in the wilderness, less than 50 kilometers away from Qingshui City, and my driving skills do not need to It'll be there in an hour." "Then I'd better not sleep." After the little girl finished speaking, she lay down again. The vehicle restarted, and at this moment, the little girl lying on the back seat said softly, "Sister Comb, what were you talking about with the captain just now? How did I hear something out of tune?" The woman sitting in the co-pilot replied after listening: "I'm not the captain yet, he just sang out of tune and it's terrible." The man who was driving immediately retorted when he heard this: "Combo, do you understand that this is art? Only an experienced man like me can sing the vicissitudes of this song." Comb couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then said: "The original singer is a woman, it's fine if you are an old man singing out of tune, why are you still talking about the vicissitudes of life here, cut." After hearing this, the man muttered a few words in a low voice, and then asked, "Did Man Yue tell you?" "say what?" "What did Man Yue say?" The two asked in unison. Holding on to a pair of sunglasses, the man said, "Our medal holder team has a newcomer. Congratulations." "Rookie? That's pretty good, what ability?" Comb asked curiously from the side. After hearing this, the man shook his head: "I don't know either, it's a bit special for Man Yue to talk about newcomers now." "has been greatly improved. But this technology is currently only mastered by a few organizations, and the Federation, as the largest force today, naturally also masters this technology. Seems like it's time to reflect this issue to the above again. After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Haoran continued: "What's your situation after that?" Hawkeye didn't hesitate, he replied: "Because we and the federation requested to complete my medal sublimation work, which couldn't be carried out later, after the federation discussed it, they decided to attach a knowledge lecture on our medal sublimation. " "It is said to be a lecture, but it is actually a training. The training lasted for about ten days and ended yesterday. Then I discussed with the comb and the iron bucket, and I came back today. I sorted out all the materials I came into contact with, including the iron bucket and the iron bucket. Comb's physical examination items and special training content over there have also been sorted out, and I will send it to your mailbox later." "Um." Zhang Haoran nodded, and then said: "You should know that there is a newcomer in your team this time, right?" Seeing that the three Hawkeyes expressed their knowledge, Zhang Haoran continued: "Then let me tell you about the specific situation of the newcomers.? Volume 14: The Second Invasion Incident Zhang Haoran told the whole thing, from meeting Lu Ming to recruiting Lu Ming and even the content of the meeting, and Jiang Cailing also supplemented Lu Ming's current compulsory education and the current situation. As expected, Hawkeye and the others almost had complicated expressions after hearing this. After a short silence, Hawkeye said: "From what you said, the situation of the newcomers is indeed more special than imagined." Comb's willow eyebrows were also frowned, and after Hawkeye finished speaking, she asked: "His ability is not sure, what should I do if he goes on a mission in the future? I'm afraid it will have some impact." "About this question," Jiang Cailing paused, and then continued: "We plan to let him complete the content of compulsory education, and see if he can learn more about himself in this way. If it works, then this The problem is no longer a problem.¡± Although Jiang Cailing's statement is relatively reliable at present, it is obviously a potential hidden danger for the medal holder team members who have to deal with frequent intrusion incidents. At the critical moment, Hawkeye, the captain, stood up to reassure his team members. He said, "It's okay, newcomers always have to be cultivated slowly. By the way, have you taught him how to deal with the invasion incident?" Shaking his head, Zhang Haoran said: "I just popularized some basic knowledge to him at the beginning. As for how to deal with the intrusion incident, I originally wanted to wait for you to come back and let you guide him." In this regard, Jiang Cailing added: "At present, his compulsory education has almost been completed. I plan to let him study by himself later. If he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, he can ask you or go to the library to check the information. Right now he It's in another conference room, are you going to see him?" After thinking for a moment, Hawkeye replied: "Okay." A group of five people left the conference room and walked towards the conference room where Lu Ming was. After a while, everyone came to the door of the meeting room where Lu Ming was. After pushing the door open, everyone found that Lu Ming was sitting and reading a book. Perhaps because he was too involved, Lu Ming didn't notice the sound of a group of people coming in. Although she didn't want to disturb him, Jiang Cailing still called him. "Lu Ming." In these days of contact, Lu Ming has become familiar with Jiang Cailing calling his name anytime and anywhere. He put down the book, and saw many strange faces in the meeting room. Jiang Cailing saw some doubts in his eyes, guessing that he should be wondering why these people came here. So Jiang Cailing didn't give a shit, she reached out and introduced the members of the medal holder team to Lu Ming. "This is the captain of the medal holder's team, that is, your captain, code-named Hawkeye, the holder of the 'Perception' medal." After Jiang Cailing finished speaking, Hawkeye walked forward with a smile, then stretched out a hand and said, "Hello, welcome to the Medal Holder Squad." Facing the man who stretched out his hand towards him, Lu Ming hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand too. "Hello." After the two shook hands, Jiang Cailing introduced the comb and the iron bucket in turn. "This is a member of the Medal Holder Squad, code-named Comb, the holder of the 'Label' medal." "Hello." "Hello." "This is also a member of the medal holder team, code-named Iron Bucket, the holder of the 'Barrier' medal." "hello." When Lu Ming saw that Tie Tong was actually a seven or eight-year-old girl, although Lu Ming was a little surprised, he still replied politely: "Hello." After seeing Jiang Cailing's introduction, Zhang Haoran said to him: "They just came back from the federation, so you just saw them today. Also, bring the full moon, you have already met the members of the medal holder team." Lu Ming nodded to show that he understood. Hawkeye seemed to see that Lu Ming was still a little restrained when facing people like himself, so he walked up to Lu Ming and patted Lu Ming's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we are very easy-going, and we are very easy-going. It¡¯s okay to ask me or others if you have any questions. Now that you¡¯ve entered the team, treat this place as your home.¡± "okay." Hawkeye noticed that his hand on Lu Ming's shoulder sank slightly, and understood that Lu Ming's body was tense before. He comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's okay to feel strange when we meet for the first time, and it will be fine if we get in touch with each other more in the future." Jiang Cailing felt that Lu Ming's reaction was good. Through the education of the past few days, at least Lu Ming's performance when interacting with other people is far less mechanized than before. This is a good thing, secretly commenting in my heart, Jiang Cailing said: ??Hawkeye will teach you about the handling of intrusion incidents in the future, just ask him if you have any questions. " "good." Then Jiang Cailing turned to the comb and said: "It's been a long time since I've come to the newcomers. I'll see if you want to hold a welcome party later. Section Chief Zhang and I have something to do, so we'll leave first." "OK**." Immediately afterwards, Comb winked mischievously at Jiang Cailing, and then said again: "**Remember to bring me a cup of milk tea too." The iron bucket next to him also said, "I want it too, I want it too." Jiang Cailing rolled her eyes at the iron bucket, and said, "Children are not allowed to drink milk tea." Watching Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing leave the conference room, Tie Tong shook his hand holding the comb, and Comb looked helplessly at Tie Tun pouted to himself. "Okay, okay, I'll go shopping with you." After finishing speaking, Comb said to Hawkeye and Lu Ming in the conference room: "Let's go first." After making an OK gesture to the comb, Hawkeye signaled that he understood, and then pulled Lu Ming to chat. As the captain of the medal holder's team, Hawkeye is still very concerned about his team members, especially their personal situation. Although I got a lot of information about Lu Ming from Jiang Cailing, but now that Lu Ming is in front of me, I still need to ask myself. Comb pulled the iron bucket out of the conference room, and then said to the iron bucket: "I guess the captain started asking the newcomers some messy things there again." Tie Tong nodded in agreement, and then the two walked towards the gate of the Special Affairs Department. In the conference room, Lu Ming felt that his captain was quite amiable at first, but after Hawkeye chatted with him for a long time, Lu Ming felt a little helpless. As for Hawkeye, he was also very helpless. All he asked was trifles, so he asked about Lu Ming's ability that he had discussed before. It's a pity that Lu Ming didn't answer most of the questions, or the answers didn't satisfy Hawkeye. But Hawkeye was not discouraged, so just like that, Hawkeye told Lu Ming to listen, and this situation continued until Lu Ming's stomach gurgled, and Hawkeye glanced at his multi-functional electronic watch. "It's already 5:30?! It's okay, you're hungry, and I'm hungry too. Just in time, I asked the rest of the team to have a meal. I haven't eaten the food in Qingshui City for some days. Nostalgia. When the meal is over, a few of us will hold a simple welcome party for you, and that's it." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye pulled Lu Ming to find other people in the team. After calling the other people in the team, the group followed Hawkeye's pace and stopped at the entrance of a restaurant in a small alley. There is no signboard on the restaurant and it looks rather shabby. But at this time, Hawkeye beside Lu Ming spoke to him: "Don't look at this store doesn't even have a signboard, let me tell you that the specialties of this store are very good. The owner of this store is a famous cook, and now the store is about to be passed on to the owner¡¯s grandson.¡± "No one else in the special affairs department knows this place, so they know that people in our team know it. Don't tell others." Speaking, Hawkeye gestured to Lu Ming with a look of "you understand". There were no other customers in the store, so the dishes were served one after another within a short time after ordering. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and Man Yue took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Federation. But Lu Ming obviously wasn't used to such an occasion, especially Hawkeye occasionally told a few jokes to make everyone laugh, but he didn't understand the meaning. Amidst the chatter and laughter, the atmosphere of the meal was very good. And when the line of sight fell back to the combat command room of the Special Affairs Division, Zhang Haoran was staring at the big screen carefully. He and Jiang Cailing had just reported the question about the medal sublimator to the top, but the answer he got was not very satisfactory. After a simple meal, he returned to the command room. Usually, if there is nothing else, he needs to sit here. Because an intrusion could happen at any time, there are 24-hour guards in the command room. If Zhang Haoran is here, he will be in charge of the overall situation after the intrusion. Even if Zhang Haoran was not here when the intrusion happened, someone would notify him as soon as possible. While Zhang Haoran was carefully watching the picture on the big screen, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a light gray suit walked into the command room quickly. "Section Chief." Hearing someone calling him, Zhang Haoran turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" "It's like this. The Security Agency has recently received several reports. The caller claimed that he seemed to have encountered stalking and surveillance in his daily life. The Security Agency intervened and conducted an investigation, but did not find any signs of the caller being followed. There were a total of five such cases, and the results of the investigation showed that none of the callers were followed. The Security Agency suspects that this may be an intrusion, so they are now handing over the case to us.¡± After finishing speaking, a file bag was handed to Zhang Haoran. "This is all the information from the investigation by the Security Office." After taking the document bag, Zhang Haoran calmly took out the materials inside to read, and he read all the materials in a short time. After putting the file bag and materials aside, Zhang Haoran frowned and thought for a while. Then he said: "This matter really should be investigated. You go to the Security Office and say that the Special Affairs Division has taken over this matter."??A total of five cases, the investigation results showed that none of the callers were followed.

After taking the document bag, Zhang Haoran calmly took out the materials inside to read, and he read all the materials in a short time. After putting the file bag and materials aside, Zhang Haoran frowned and thought for a while. Then he said: "This matter really should be investigated. You go to the Security Office and tell the Special Affairs Division to take over this matter." Volume 15: Investigation (for collection) After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran called Hawkeye. After describing the matter in detail, Hawkeye said that he would come over immediately. It didn't take long for Hawkeye to rush to the combat command room. Zhang Haoran handed him the information, and Hawkeye immediately started to read it. Unlike Zhang Haoran's reading speed of ten lines at a glance, Hawkeye read very carefully and very slowly. It took him nearly ten minutes to finish reading this document completely. Zhang Haoran saw that his face was a little weird, so he asked: "What's wrong?" Hawkeye didn't explain anything, but instead asked: "Didn't the Special Affairs Division detect any signs of intrusion?" Shaking his head, Zhang Haoran affirmed: "No, everything is normal." "It's not an intrusion incident, and the investigation by the Security Office is also normal. It feels very unreasonable" "I also had the same thought after reading it, and this is why I brought you here. Why, did you find anything after reading it?" "Looking at the information alone, I didn't find the problem." "So this matter still needs to be investigated on the spot in person. I plan to hand it over to you. Is there any problem?" "Of course there is no problem, but" Looking at Hawkeye with some doubts, Zhang Haoran asked, "But what?" "I'm afraid I can't do this today." "I know this, but you have also read the information. This incident has happened for a few days now, and the caller is afraid to go out now, so we can't afford to delay. How about you, take a rest for the night and go to have a look tomorrow. " "Okay, then we can only talk about Lu Ming's orientation meeting next time." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye let out a sigh of relief, then took the information away, intending to go back and study it again. The moment he walked out of the gate of the command room, Zhang Haoran suddenly stopped him. "Wait a minute." Hawkeye hurriedly stopped and turned around, "Is there anything else?" "I thought about it for a while. Let's add Lu Ming to this investigation mission. Although his ability is not clear yet, this opportunity can also allow him to adapt to the subsequent intrusion incident handling process. Do you remember how long the investigation will take?" Teach him." "okay." Watching Hawkeye leave, Zhang Haoran returned to the combat command room. And in his new home, Lu Ming still didn't know that he and Hawkeye would go out to investigate the case tomorrow. After being separated from the team, everyone returned to their residences, and Lu Ming was no exception. After these few days of education, he will not rest or entertain like other people when he returns home, but will read books for the first time. Of course, the content of the book is not advanced, it is only a compulsory textbook for compulsory education. Before Jiang Cailing saw that he had almost mastered the knowledge taught, so he suggested that Lu Ming should study by himself. That's why Lu Ming was the first to read when he got home every day. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, bright lights illuminated all corners of the living room, only the occasional sound of flipping books would break the peaceful tranquility. "Ding dong." The doorbell rang suddenly, and Lu Ming put down his book to check. When the doorbell rang for the second time, Lu Ming realized that someone should be looking for him. Putting the book aside, Lu Ming went out to check the situation. Pushing open the gate, he saw a person standing at the gate of his courtyard. With the light of the street lamp, he found that the person who came was actually his captain, Hawkeye. Hastily went forward to open the door for Hawkeye, but before he opened the door and asked the other party why he came, Hawkeye smiled and said, "Go inside and talk." After the two walked into the living room and sat down, Hawkeye explained his purpose. "I originally planned to hold a welcome party for you tonight, but something unexpected happened. Just now Section Chief Zhang came to me and said that there is a difficult case in the security department that I need to investigate tomorrow. In addition, he asked I also brought you with me in this investigation, which can be regarded as a kind of exercise for you. Tomorrow, I will teach you some skills and procedures for us to deal with intrusion incidents during the investigation. Are you okay here?" Lu Ming shook his head: "No." Seeing that he had no objection, Hawkeye continued: "I've already got the information here, I'll go back to study it tonight and see if I can find any clues or something useful. At that time, you can follow my instructions tomorrow. OK." "good." After the matter was explained, Hawkeye originally planned to leave. But he suddenly saw a compulsory education textbook on the sofa, so he said, "Have you been reading these books recently?" "Um." "Learning is a good thing, but don't read it too late. By the way, are you still used to living here? If there is anythingWhat. Next, he carefully asked the woman about the details of the whole incident, and the information he obtained was also consistent with what was described in the report. After confirming the basic situation, Hawkeye asked the woman: "You reported to the Security Office that you were being followed and monitored, but the Security Office investigated and found that no one was following you. Then I want to ask you , How did you judge that someone was following you?" Hearing this, the woman revealed a look of reminiscence, and after recalling it for a while, she slowly said: "Actually, I couldn't tell what it was like at firstbut, later It was a strong feeling, and I didn't know how to describe it, so I looked up information on the Internet and found out that this feeling is called being voyeuristic." "So you suspect someone is following you?" "right." "I see that the investigation by the Security Agency shows that you have not witnessed traces of the stalker. How do you explain this feeling that it must be stalking? ? Volume 16 Key words Hawkeye originally wanted to get more information through this, but after hearing what he said, the woman was very excited and said: "Intuition! Women's intuition is always right!" Police Officer Wang, who was sitting next to Hawkeye, felt extremely overwhelmed when he heard the word intuition, so he turned his gaze to Hawkeye to see how Hawkeye would react to the woman's words. Without any other emotions, Hawkeye just asked in confusion: "Intuition?" "That's right, it's intuition. And my intuition tells me that the person following me must be a man!" Contrary to Police Officer Wang's expectations, Hawkeye frowned and remained silent for a while when he heard such unfounded words. But after the silence, Hawkeye asked again: "Has the stalker ever appeared near your house?" The woman glanced at him, and the shock in her eyes could be clearly felt by others. "How did you know? Yes, the police protected me during those few days. During that time, I didn't have the feeling of being followed and watched. But these days that feeling came back, and I even It feels like the stalker is right outside my house sometimes." Hearing this, Hawkeye gave Police Officer Wang a questioning look, meaning that you haven't protected her in recent days? Officer Wang shook his head. After getting this information, Hawkeye continued to ask: "Do you remember any special people or places you have been to before?" The woman glanced at Police Officer Wang, and then asked suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you the police before? I have been going to work normally these days, and I even told you the route to work. As for the special person, the incident happened. During that time, apart from my family and colleagues, I had no contact with other people." This is a fairly normal answer, but Hawkeye vaguely feels that there is something to dig deeper into. So he continued to ask: "Is there anything unusual in your family recently?" The woman said without thinking: "No, my husband died early, and there is only one son. The son has been in school recently, and he will graduate this year, so he hasn't been home during this time." Afterwards, Hawkeye asked a few more random questions, and the woman gave a normal answer. After pondering for a while, Hawkeye stood up and said, "That's all for now. We will continue to investigate this matter. During this period, please stay at home as much as possible, and call the police immediately if there is any abnormality." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye turned to Police Officer Wang and Lu Ming and said, "Let's go." The woman didn't ask the three to leave, but left a sentence before they left: "Please solve the case as soon as possible, I'm sure the person following must be a man." Officer Wang closed the door helplessly, while Hawkeye smiled at him. After the three entered the elevator, Hawkeye said, "Actually, she was right." "What?" Police Officer Wang asked suspiciously. "I said she was actually right when she said someone was following her and showing up near her home." Blinking her eyes, Officer Wang said in surprise, "You mean someone is really following her?" Hawkeye nodded with a smile. After receiving the affirmative answer from Hawkeye, Officer Wang said: "I thought that these callers were still delusional, and I couldn't find anything after searching for a long time. But how did you know?" Hawkeye patted his chest and said, "Don't forget, I'm a capable person." Seeing that Lu Ming looked over curiously after hearing the word "capable person", Hawkeye explained to him: "My ability can detect the spiritual fluctuations in the air, as long as it is not too weak. Just now At the door of her house, I noticed some residual mental fluctuations, which cannot be left by normal people." "So she was right that the stalker was at her door, and the stalker she was talking about was real." "Then why didn't our police see the stalker?" Officer Wang asked curiously. Hawkeye smiled, but didn't say anything. As the elevator reached the first floor, the three of them walked out one after another. Looking at his jeep, Hawkeye said, "Go to the next caller's house, I need to confirm something." "Okay, let me point out the location." The jeep started again, and the three drove into the residence of the second caller. The second caller was also a woman, but she was much younger than the first caller, a young woman in her twenties. After learning that the police had come to the door, the young woman opened the door in time. Contrary to everyone's expectations, her condition is much better than the first caller, especially her mental state can be said to be quite good. will be"I know. " Hawkeye smiled, and then said: "Actually, I don't know either, but I can find out through a method." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye turned the notebook in his hand to Lu Ming, and saw the word "female" written in big letters on the notebook, and a circle was drawn on it. Before Lu Ming asked what this meant, Hawkeye explained: "Any event has its own rules and logic, including the intrusion incident. Section Chief Zhang may have told you before that the intrusion incident has no logic. This is indeed the case. However, in fact, there is logic in the intrusion incident.¡± "That is to say, as long as you find its logic and crack it, then the matter will be solved. And the way I cracked the logic is just as you can see¡ª" "That's right, key words.? Volume 17 New Clues "Everything has its own key points. I will extract these key points and record them in the form of keywords. Of course, the number of key points is different for each thing. Like the current case, the biggest negligence of the Security Office It¡¯s nothing else, but all the callers are women. Therefore, women are the first keywords I have extracted in this case so far.¡± Seeing that Lu Ming still didn't understand, Hawkeye continued: "Next, we only need to find the remaining key points, and the key words will naturally surface one by one. Combining these key words, a complete solution to solve the case There will be clues, so you understand?" After Lu Ming was stunned for a while, he nodded slowly. Hawkeye continued: "Let me tell you one more thing, I used the ability of the medal during the investigation process. My medal is perception, which can improve the sensory detection ability of my body organs, so I can clearly judge how many times I have just passed. None of the callers lied. Including the abnormal mental residue at the door of the first caller's house, it was also told by my ability." "You have to learn to use your own ability to deal with such incidents in the future, but remember not to tell others about your ability. It is allowed to tell us and Director Zhang Kejiang, but not others, especially ordinary people." "Well, I see." Although it is still unclear what ability he has, but through these days of education and contact, Lu Ming also understands why Hawkeye said that, presumably for the sake of keeping it secret. Then Hawkeye said: "Back to the case, since all the callers are women and the stalkers do exist, we can first guess that the stalkers are men. Next, let's take a look at the places of residence among all the callers." .¡± After clicking a few times on the multifunctional electronic watch, a projection of a map appeared above the watch. All the building streets in the map are presented in simplified images and text, and there are several eye-catching red dots on them, which represent the location where the caller lives. As Police Officer Wang said, the places where the callers live are very scattered, and only two callers live in the same area, but even so they are separated by a certain distance. Hawkeye stretched out his hand in front of Lu Ming, and said, "The red dot is where the caller lives. Do you see anything?" This is Lu Ming's first contact with such high-tech equipment. He didn't look at the location of the red dots at first, but looked at the names of those buildings and streets, and then carefully observed the location of each red dot. But for him now, of course, he couldn't find any problems from it, and Hawkeye naturally understood this. Seeing Lu Ming shaking his head, Hawkeye explained: "The red dots are the residences of the callers, and the distribution is very scattered. Except that the callers are all women, there are no other uniform characteristics, including age, occupation, etc. In fact, this It shows that the stalkers did not deliberately select targets when tracking, but just randomly tracked the callers." "The information provided by the Security Agency shows that the time period described by each caller is actually inconsistent, from the time when the caller goes to work in the morning to the time when the caller leaves work in the evening. So from this point of view, Stalkers clearly have plenty of time to get their work done." "At present, my thinking is that office workers basically do not have the time to commit crimes. The identity of this stalker is likely to be a social idler, or someone else with fixed leisure time. This can also explain why the time when the tracking incident occurred Segments would cover almost 24 hours long." "But it's a pity that you can't catch the other party through the mental traces left by the other party during the stalking, otherwise the case will be much easier." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye seemed to think of something, and said to Lu Ming: "You probably haven't received any training in this area. Let me tell you, in fact, everyone has a certain degree of mental performance. Special circumstances, otherwise the mental power cannot be released, and if the mental power can remain in the air, then there are only three possibilities." "One, the stalker is a medal holder." "Second, the stalker is an object contaminated by an intrusion event." "Three, this is the trace left by the intrusion incident. However, the Special Affairs Division did not detect any signs of the intrusion incident. I personally prefer the first two possibilities." Lu Ming nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What shall we do next?" Hawkeye pondered for a while, then replied: "I want to go to the scene where the caller described the stalking, and I'll talk to the Special Affairs Department to ask them to call the surveillance cameras in these places to see if they can find any clues. " Then, Hawkeye called the people in the Special Affairs Department, and after telling the Special Affairs Department what he thought, Hawkeye received?A woman about twenty years old was sitting at the cash register. The woman had a few freckles on her face, and she was concentrating on playing with her mobile phone at the moment. Suddenly, when she realized that something was wrong, she looked up and found that there were two more men in front of the cashier. Seeing this scene, the woman didn't know if she didn't react. She was so frightened that she jumped up from her seat, and her mobile phone almost fell to the ground. "You When did you come here?" Hawkeye did not answer his question, but asked after looking around the entire makeup store, "You are the only one in this store?" Seeing that Hawkeye didn't come to buy anything, the woman said impatiently: "If you want to buy something, you can choose it yourself. If you don't buy something, you should leave quickly, or I will call the police." As she spoke, she picked up her mobile phone and waved at the two of them. Hawkeye didn't speak, but calmly took out his work card from his coat pocket, and said coldly, "Please cooperate with my work." Raising her head, the big words "Special Affairs" on the certificate came into the woman's eyes. Although the Special Affairs Department is called the mysterious department in Qingshui City, many people still have an impression of it, and women are no exception. Facing the mysterious department with the "license to kill" that was rumored in the market, the woman suddenly stood up and said with a pale face: "I cooperate, I cooperate, I will definitely cooperate." "Then let me repeat, are you the only one in this store?" "No, no, besides me and our boss." "Where's your boss?" "It's upstairs, I'll take you to find him." After finishing speaking, the woman hurriedly walked towards the second floor, and Hawkeye and Lu Ming followed her upstairs. As soon as the two of them went upstairs, they heard the woman murmuring to herself in doubt: "It's strange, didn't the boss say that he was going to sleep for a while? Why is this person missing? ? Volume 18 Chapter 18 Hunting (for collection) Upon hearing this, Hawkeye immediately became alert. The space on the second floor of the makeup shop is not large, it can even be said to be relatively small. It is basically the size of a living room in an ordinary residential building. There are various items in it. The most conspicuous one is a single bed covered with a pale pink sheet. . Beside the head of the single bed, the dusty pedestal fan stood silently like a silent guard. Looking at the quilt on the bed being thrown aside, someone should have slept here before. Without any hesitation, Hawkeye stepped forward to feel the temperature on the bed. But unfortunately, there was no residual body temperature on the bed. Although the ability of the medal greatly improves Hawkeye's perception, under normal circumstances, the body temperature of a person does not remain for a long time. However, this also shows that the other party has been away for a while. But the problem is, how does the other party know that someone will come today? Get the news in advance? No, it is almost impossible for the special affairs department to leak the news. Moreover, since the other party came to the store today, it means that the news has not been leaked at all. Then why did he leave? etc. A flash of light flashed in Hawkeye's mind, and he understood why the other party was leaving. Looking around the second floor, as expected, a door appeared in front of Hawkeye. Going forward and opening the door, the spiral iron staircase leads steadily to the ground. Walking down the stairs, Eagle Eye finds that behind the makeup shop is an old-fashioned residential area and alleys extending in all directions. Lu Ming also went down the stairs and looked around. Only the young female shop assistant stood on the second floor, watching the two downstairs looking around behind her store with a puzzled expression. After inquiring about the situation behind the makeup shop, Hawkeye came over and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and Lu Ming turned his head to look at Hawkeye. Hawkeye smiled and said, "Our luck may be good or bad." "What's the meaning?" Lu Ming asked suspiciously. "It's almost certain now that the owner of the makeup shop is the person we're looking for." Having found someone so quickly, Lu Ming couldn't believe it. He asked curiously, "Is it really this boss?" "That's right," Hawkeye nodded, and continued: "From the time of committing the crime, this boss fully meets the requirements. And most importantly, I also found residual mental power on his bed just now." "However, there are still two questions. One, where is he now? I guess he must be following someone. After all, he left the staff without saying a word and left alone. I don't believe that he went out to follow someone. Two, How did he avoid the tracking of the Security Office? This question may only be answered if he is caught." "Then what shall we do now?" Facing the question posed by Lu Ming, Hawkeye smiled triumphantly, and then spit out two words. "Shaking people." As soon as the voice fell, Hawkeye picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hi, it's me. Now mobilize manpower and pay close attention to the situation of all callers, especially the first caller. If she feels that she is being followed, contact me immediately. In addition, all areas will strengthen patrols. Once someone calls the police If you are being followed, notify me immediately." After hanging up the phone, Hawkeye threw an inexplicable sentence at Lu Ming and went upstairs. "Now let's see if he catches a sheep and plucks it." Lu Ming froze on the spot, thinking for a long time but still didn't know what Hawkeye meant. Finally, he also stepped on the stairs upstairs. Back upstairs, Hawkeye was questioning the female clerk. "Is there anything unusual about your boss recently? For example, he suddenly disappeared like today?" The female clerk recalled for a while and then said: "It seems that this happened a few times last week, but the boss is very addicted to cigarettes. Occasionally he is not here. I thought he went out to buy cigarettes. And the boss said that the house is being renovated recently. So sometimes when he¡¯s not here, I also think it¡¯s because of the home decoration that I need to rush back to deal with.¡± "Did you know when he went out?" The female clerk shook her head, expressing that she didn't know. "Then will your boss leave some messages after he disappears, such as calling or texting you to close the store?" The female clerk continued to shake her head and said, "Never." "Okay, I see, you go down and do your work first." The female clerk heard that there was no business for her, so she went back downstairs, but she knew that she was fine, but judging from the situation, her boss should have an accident. On the second floor, Hawkeye searched to see if he could find any evidence, and said to Lu Ming: "You heard what you said just now. The stalker can now say that 99% of them are this boss." Lu Ming thought for a while.Hearing the word shoot, the fat man trembled all over, and he didn't know where the strength came from. The speed was like a white lightning, and he directly opened a further distance from Hawkeye. Cursing secretly in his heart, Hawkeye raised his gun and aimed at it while shouting. "three!" "two!" "one!!!" "boom¡ª¡ª" Hawkeye, who was running at high speed, naturally missed the shot, but the bullet also brushed past the fat man within a distance of less than one meter. Although the shot missed, the fat man was still covered in cold sweat. There happened to be an intersection ahead, so without any hesitation, the fat man accelerated and ran towards the left. Hawkeye, who was chasing behind, had no time to fire a second shot, and could only witness the fat man running to the left. In desperation, Hawkeye could only catch up with the gun, leaving an extremely clear sound within a radius of 300 meters¡ª¡ª "Grass!!! Volume 19 Chapter 19: Lu Ming's Ability (for collection) Lu Ming, who was following behind Hawkeye, saw Hawkeye turn left, without any thought, he also flew to the left without hesitation. After turning left, Lu Ming realized that this was a narrow alley with a lot of sundries piled up on both sides, and looking forward, Hawkeye, with his gun raised, was still chasing the fat man. Hawkeye, who followed the fat man, observed the surrounding situation for a while, and then he decided to put the gun away. First, it is difficult to hit the opponent while running, and second, the surrounding environment is very complicated, and accidents may occur when using a gun. After making up his mind, Hawkeye quickly chased after the fat man. The Special Affairs Department is a special department that deals with intrusion incidents, and Hawkeye is the captain of the medal holder team that is directly responsible for intrusion incidents. He has naturally received physical training, so running a long-distance race is of course not a problem. . But even so, there is always a distance of seventy to eighty meters between Hawkeye and Fatty. No matter how fast he accelerates, it seems that the distance between the two parties is locked within this range. Damn it, this fat guy is from the running team? Cursing secretly in his heart, Hawkeye saw the fat man reach out and overturn the pile of debris beside the alley, and all kinds of miscellaneous things were spread on the ground in an instant. A famous old woman stood not far from the debris pile. After seeing the fat man make such a move, she was stunned for a second, and then said angrily: "What quality!" The expression of Hawkeye, who was chasing after him, also changed. He thought that the fat man had hurt passers-by during his escape. After speeding up to catch up, he realized that the fat man just pushed down the pile of debris to buy some time for himself to escape, and did not hurt others. Rest assured, Hawkeye walked around the miscellaneous objects on the ground, and then continued to chase in the direction where the fat man was running away. I have to admit that Fatty's move was indeed somewhat effective. When he saw Fatty's back again, Hawkeye noticed that the distance between him and Fatty was obviously farther away. What was even worse was that there happened to be a crossroad ahead, and the fat man ran to the right desperately this time. Hawkeye could only follow up first, so he also turned right into the new road chosen by the fat man. This road is obviously wider than before, and sporadic pedestrians can be seen beside the road. Locking on the figure of the fat man, Hawkeye took a deep breath, pulled up his legs and began to sprint. At this time, the fat man obviously began to lose his strength, and his steps were slower than before. Seizing this opportunity, Hawkeye quickly narrowed the distance between the two. Fatty heard the footsteps behind him getting louder and louder, and a young man riding an electric bicycle happened to be coming in front of him. So he had an idea, and kicked the electric car's ass hard the moment he passed the opponent. The speed of the electric car was not fast, but the fat man kicked the electric car more than ten meters away, and then the owner of the car lost his center of gravity in a panic, and the whole car fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this scene, Hawkeye had no choice but to slow down his forward pace and choose to go around the electric car. The owner of the electric scooter lifted the scooter up in confusion, and then turned his head to look in the direction he was riding, but only saw a white figure disappearing at the end of his sight, and another person was flying towards the white figure from beside him. run over. Looking around, except for a few aunts with children talking and casting curious eyes at themselves, the owner of the electric car did not see anyone else. Glancing at his electric car, the owner wondered, "Why do I feel like I've been kicked?" The fat man who was the culprit of the accident certainly didn't know what the car owner was thinking at this time. His only thought now was to run for his life. He slowed down the speed of his captors twice, but the fat man still didn't dare to let go, because he still didn't get rid of the footsteps behind him. Although it is not clear why the other party did not shoot again, the fat man did not dare to take it lightly, maybe his little life will be accounted for here next time the gun is fired. So even though his legs felt as heavy as lead, he still ran forward with all his might. Arrived at another intersection, this time the fat man didn't go left or right, but ran straight ahead. Hearing the footsteps behind him was still clearly audible, Fatty instantly understood that the distance between the two of them was not too far. At this moment, he also wondered, is the policeman behind him an iron man? Aren't you tired of chasing after this? Are you tired? Of course it would be very tiring for Hawkeye. But thinking that this is only a short distance away from catching the fat man, no matter how tired he is, he has to follow him closely. At this time, an opportunity presented itself. Not long after the fat man ran, he realized that he had entered a dead end, and there was only a high wall in front of him. Before he had time to blame himself, he began to think of a way to see if he could escape from this dead end. Human potential is unlimited in an emergency. This sentence also applies to fat people, although there is no ladder for him.There was no wall, but he glanced at the wall next to him, and another thought came to his mind instantly. Quickly rushing towards the wall obliquely, the fat man kicked his feet vigorously, and then slammed his hands on the wall of the high wall opposite. Hearing his ears, the fat man was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a road on the opposite side, and there was the sound of car horns in the distance, so he started to use his hands and feet, trying to climb over the wall. Hawkeye, who was chasing after him, felt bad when he saw this scene. Gritting his teeth and speeding up a bit, Hawkeye realized that it was definitely not the best choice to draw a gun now. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, that he must Pull the fat man down before he climbs over this wall! Lu Ming, who was following behind, also witnessed this scene, and he also understood that if the fat man climbed over the wall, it would be difficult to catch him from behind. Although he was anxious in his heart, he had no choice but to rush over as soon as possible. I don't know whether it was Fatty's good skills or his good luck. The process of climbing over the wall was quite smooth. Except for one leg, most of his body was already outside the wall, and he could even see pedestrians passing by on the other side of the street. "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." With words in his mouth, the fat man raised his remaining leg and stepped on the wall, and then he only needed to jump down to solve the problem. While he breathed a sigh of relief, the fat man was about to bend his knees and jump off. Hawkeye in the rear was less than ten meters away from the fat man, and he knew it might be too late, so he simply jumped to see if he could catch the fat man. Seeing this scene, Lu Ming's heart tightened, and he yelled as he ran, "Grab him!" Time is frozen at this moment, Hawkeye who is flying, Lu Ming who is running wildly, and Fatty who is about to jump with his legs bent, it seems that everything will fall short But just after Lu Ming's roar, the shadow behind him moved. The shadow was like an arrow leaving the string, flying towards the fat man who had already taken off at a speed that was hard to discern with the naked eye. During this process, the black shadow that was originally in the form of a human phantomed into a long strip, and finally entangled the fat man's feet just before he jumped off, and then the black shadow began to turn into growing vines in an extremely short moment, circle after circle. Tighten the fat man tightly. The fat man who lost his center of gravity on the wall didn't know what happened, and then he fell to the ground. "boom¡ª¡ª" "Boom¡ª¡ª" Two different sounds sounded almost at the same time. Hawkeye's forehead came into close contact with the wall too quickly, and Fatty fell to the ground after losing his support. Clutching his forehead and taking a deep breath, Hawkeye's expression was a bit painful. Lu Ming, who was behind him, quickly ran to him and stopped to check the situation. Fortunately, apart from a red and swollen forehead, Hawkeye was fine, which made Lu Ming feel relieved. After rubbing his forehead for a while, Hawkeye lowered his head and said, "Leave me alone, did that fat man run away?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "It seems so, but it seems that I saw something rushing towards him." Hawkeye heard his words and recalled for a while, and found that something seemed to be rushing towards the fat man at a very fast speed. But the speed was too fast, so Hawkeye didn't know what it was. Never mind, let's go over the wall to see the situation first. Pulling himself together, Hawkeye followed Fatty's example and set foot on the wall. After squatting on the wall and looking into the distance for a long time, Hawkeye did not find the fat man. Just when he was puzzled, he lowered his head and glanced down the wall, and that familiar white figure instantly appeared in his eyes, with black rope tightly wrapped round and round around his body. Without hesitation, Hawkeye jumped down immediately. After squatting on the ground and observing for a while, Hawkeye found that the bound fat man was motionless. Could it be dead? After checking the opponent's breath, Hawkeye found that the opponent was still alive, but just passed out. Next, Hawkeye focused on the black twine that bound the fat man. A thumb-thick black rope was wrapped around Fatty's body, binding him tightly. Fatty definitely didn't have this thing on his body when he ran away before, so it should be just now. But where did this black rope come from? Hawkeye was extremely puzzled, how could it be a coincidence that there would be a rope binding the fat man at such a critical moment? After carefully observing the black rope, Hawkeye muttered: "It can't be a new gadget invented by the scientific research department, right?" But after taking a closer look, this idea was quickly rejected by Hawkeye, because he had never heard of a rope that was breathing and could move by itself. Just when Hawkeye was puzzled, Lu Ming also jumped off the wall. Just when he was about to ask Lu Ming if he knew what it was, Hawkeye saw a scene that shocked him and made him unforgettable. Seeing that the rope that was tightly tied to the fat man's body was loosened quickly after Lu Ming appeared, and then turned into a black "long snake" swimming on the ground. Under the surprised eyes of the two, "Black Snake" quickly came behind Lu Ming. Before Hawkeye could react, he found that the "Black Snake" stopped and slowly spread around, and finally became a figure, and the owner of this shadow was Lu Ming! After opening his mouth for a few seconds, Hawkeye felt an electric shock in his mind. He understood, it turned out that this was Lu Ming's ability!bsp; Zhijian, the rope that had been tightly tied to the fat man's body was quickly loosened after Lu Ming appeared, and then turned into a black "long snake" swimming on the ground.

Main Text Volume Chapter 20 Interrogation (for collection) Pressing this discovery to the bottom of his heart, Hawkeye immediately called the Special Affairs Department to come over. After a while, the people from the special affairs department came and carried the fat man into the car. Looking at the fat man being carried into the car, Hawkeye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back at Lu Ming, Hawkeye didn't say anything, but walked over and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder "Name." "Fang Fang Xianzhu." "age." "Forty-five years old." Such a familiar scene appeared in front of Lu Ming again, but different from last time, this time he became a member of the interrogation party, not the object of the interrogation. The fat man in a white vest on the opposite side is the owner of the makeup shop, Fang Xianzhu. At the same time, he is also the suspect in this case, the stalker mentioned by the caller. "Tell me about your crime history." As the chief of the special affairs department, Zhang Haoran is naturally the most qualified person to interrogate. Hawkeye was sitting next to him, and Lu Ming stood behind Hawkeye. "this" Looking up at Zhang Haoran, Fang Xianzhu quickly lowered his head. "What is this, tell me honestly!" "No, officer, I don't know where to say it" "Don't you have any hidden secrets? Well, let me ask you. Recently, you have been out to follow others many times. Is this true?" With drooping head, Fang Xianzhu nodded and said, "Yes." Zhang Haoran was about to ask the second question when Hawkeye asked first: "In this case, the victim reported to the police, and the police also conducted an investigation and monitored and protected the victim. During this period You should have followed the victim too? How did you do it?" Fang Xianzhu thought for a while, and then replied: "I did follow and saw the police during that time, but I didn't run because the police couldn't see me." These words made Zhang Haoran frowned, and he asked, "What do you mean? Why can't the police see you?" "Thisthen what, officer, what I say next is true, you must believe me." After picking up a pen and tapping on the table twice, Zhang Haoran calmly said: "Just say it, believe it or not, we naturally have our own judgment." "Okay, then I'll say it. About a month ago, I was sleeping in the store one day. When I got up, I had something to do at home and left in a hurry. When I went downstairs, I saw Xiaoyu, that was my clerk. Introduce products to customers. I walked past them and found that these two people didn¡¯t even look at me.¡± "It's fine as a guest, she doesn't know me after all. But Xiaoyu shouldn't, because I'm her boss, and she has to ask me no matter what happens when I go out. So I waved my hand in front of Xiaoyu, and found that she couldn't see it at all. I just kept talking to the guests. I thought it was too much of a pretense, so I gave her a push." "Xiaoyu was also surprised when I pushed her a little bit, and she called someone, but at that time I was in front of her, but she was looking around at the door and didn't see me at all. From then on, I realized that something might happen. There was a problem. So I went back to the car and looked in the mirror, but I was not seen in the mirror at all. Later I realized that my situation seemed to be invisible in the movie.¡± After the fat man finished speaking, he glanced at the three people in front of him, thinking that the other party would make some moves, such as shouting "Stop bragging, tell the truth", or showing an incredible expression on his face. But it's a pity that the eyes and expressions of the three people in front of them are very calm, especially the two sitting people, who didn't blink their eyes. Seeing that the fat man stopped, and then looked at himself with a strange expression, Zhang Haoran was also puzzled. "Go on, look what I am doing, I have flowers on my face?" "No, no, officer, what I saiddo you believe it?" "Ahem." After coughing twice, Hawkeye said to Zhang Haoran: "Section Chief, let me ask, you can record it first." "Okay, you ask." Seeing that Hawkeye had a question to ask, Zhang Haoran handed over the questioning right to Hawkeye, and lowered his head to take notes. "This is the Special Affairs Department. No matter what you say is true or false, we will naturally investigate. Now I will ask you a few questions. You said that you escaped the monitoring of the police through the ability of invisibility. I believe this. Then you are How did you get the invisibility ability?" ? Fang Xianzhu's expression froze when he heard the words "Special Affairs Division", and then he frowned in distress when he heard Hawkeye asking him how to obtain the ability. "I don't knowSometimes I just want to run. " Hawkeye didn't say anything, but whispered behind him: "Let's go." The three of them left the interrogation room one after another, and when they were about to pass by, Hawkeye turned his head sharply, and asked through the iron railing: "The last question, seeing how fast you run, have you practiced before?" Fang Xianzhu shook his head and replied: "How can it be, I don't look like someone who has trained. Today I have used all the strength that is purely breastfeeding, otherwise, the police officer, you would have caught me long ago." Hawkeye smiled, and after saying "reform well", he left straight away. After catching up with Zhang Haoran in front, Hawkeye ran to the side and asked, "What do you plan to do with him?" Zhang Haoran has never been in contact with a case like Fang Xianzhu before. After a little thought, Zhang Haoran said: "First determine whether he is the holder of the medal or the infected person polluted by the intrusion source, and investigate both aspects together. First check his place of residence, Then check his interpersonal relationship, his ability didn't come out of thin air, there must be a reason. As for the conviction, let's leave it to the security department." "That's fine, I won't participate in the rest of the matter. By the way," Hawkeye seemed to have remembered something, and he turned to look at Lu Ming who was following Zhang Haoran. "Chief Zhang, I think the first credit for this case should go to Lu Ming." "Oh why?" "Because he caught the man.? Volume 21 Chapter 21 Progress (for collection) Then Hawkeye described the final process of arresting Fang Xianzhu, and Zhang Haoran was a little surprised when he heard it. He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Do you know what your ability is now?" Lu Ming shook his head and said: "At that time, I didn't know what was going on, I only saw something rushing out, and after reuniting with the captain, I saw my shadow behind me, so now I don't know my ability. " "Shadow, shadow." After repeating twice in a low voice, Zhang Haoran then said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, just take your time later. But this time it is indeed your first contribution, and there will be a bonus for you at the end of the month." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran patted Lu Ming on the shoulder to show encouragement. The next day, regarding Fang Xianzhu's case, the Special Affairs Division held a meeting to summarize the case. In addition to the staff from the Special Affairs Division, Hawkeye and Lu Ming who arrested Fang Xianzhu that day also attended the meeting. After looking around the conference table, Zhang Haoran coughed twice, and then said: "About Fang Xianzhu's case, combined with the existing information at hand, there are still some uncertainties, let's hold a meeting to discuss it." "First of all, Fang Xianzhu's residence and shop were checked, and there was no sign of a medal, including asking him himself, and his answer was that he was not a medal holder. Therefore, it can be concluded that he should be an infected person contaminated by the invasion incident. And, his ability also comes from this." "Combined with the time he described, we found the record of the intrusion events during that time. But after asking Fang Xianzhu, he did not go to those places during the time when these intrusions occurred." Having said that, Jiang Cailing, who was sitting next to Zhang Haoran, put down his milk tea and said, "That means he came into contact with an intrusion event that we don't know about? Or is it the source of the intrusion?" Nodding his head, Zhang Haoran looked at Jiang Cailing in agreement: "My thoughts are the same." Now the people in the special affairs department in the conference room feel a little uncomfortable, because neither the intrusion incident nor the source of the intrusion is unknown to the special affairs department. Now that there is such an uncertain factor in Qingshui City, it is like a bomb that will explode at any time. Faced with this situation, the people in the Special Affairs Department will naturally have a headache. Gently patted the table, Zhang Haoran's action attracted the eyes of everyone who was thinking. "Although this problem has now become a new hidden danger, there are still some clues. Yesterday the Security Office assisted us in investigating Fang Xianzhu's interpersonal relationship. Everything else is normal, except for one local security office. Something is wrong." "According to the investigation, Fang Xianzhu met a convoy driver half a year ago, and has been in contact with him recently. The main duty of this driver is to help the convoy deliver goods, and he is a person who often goes out into the wilderness. Considering this, I I feel that the driver should be interrogated. I have sent someone to the unit where the driver works in the morning, and the result of the feedback is that the convoy has a task. The driver set off to Haitangkou to deliver the goods half a month ago, and is not in Qingshui City now. " "So right now the focus is on the driver, and he will be questioned in time when he comes back. But don't relax your vigilance in other places, and report to me in time if you have any questions. Okay, the meeting is over. That, Hawkeye, you two Stay." After everyone else had left, Jiang Cailing said, "Why didn't you send someone to hunt down that driver? That would be much more efficient than waiting for him." Zhang Haoran replied: "It's just a suspicion now, there is no need to go to war." Then he said to Hawkeye: "The evaluation team will report this case after the driver returns. What do you think?" Hawkeye thought for a while, and then said: "It's not clear how he was polluted, but I think his ability has obvious side effects. The obvious point is that his memory is far worse than before. I think we need to pay attention to this point. .¡± "Yes, but it's actually more than that. Yesterday, when the Security Agency was investigating his interpersonal relationship, it also accidentally discovered a problem. After visiting friends and neighbors around him, his friends and neighbors said that he is usually a person in life. He is a very honest person and very enthusiastic, and he will basically not refuse help from others.¡± "But this is such a person, after gaining the ability of invisibility, he actually played the game of stalking and peeping. I don't know if it's just him, or it's a side effect of the ability." Jiang Cailing wondered from the side: "Didn't you ask him this question yourself?" "I asked, and he said that he didn't know if he had this problem before, so I guess it might be caused by the side effect of his ability." After drinking the last sip of milk tea, Jiang Cailing took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, then said: "So in essence?? said, this person is just a stalker, plus a pervert. However, unlike others, he has one more invisible ability than others. " Zhang Haoran smiled helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, eat." This time, everyone did not go to the restaurant outside to eat, but went to the cafeteria of the Special Affairs Department collectively. Since the work permit has been issued, Lu Ming has been using his work permit to eat in the cafeteria recently. After eating, Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing walked towards the combat command room while chatting. Hawkeye glanced at Lu Ming and asked, "Are you going back?" Seeing Lu Ming nodding, Hawkeye said again: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, I'll go sit with you for a while." The two left the cafeteria and walked towards Lu Ming's residence. Entering the living room of Lu Ming's house, Hawkeye found a few books on the dining table in the living room. It seemed that Lu Ming didn't put them away after reading them. Although it was not the first time to come to Lu Ming's place, Hawkeye found a seat and sat down casually, as if he regarded this place as his own home. Of course Lu Ming had no objections, but he didn't know what to do with Hawkeye's visit this time. Logically speaking, as Hawkeye's guest, shouldn't I pour him a glass of water or something? After thinking for a while, Lu Ming remembered that it was like this when he went to someone else's house last time. So, he found a cup at home. There are water boiling utensils at home, the main reason is that Lu Ming did not buy disposable items, so Lu Ming can only see if there are any substitutes. Hawkeye watched him run back and forth, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you looking for?" "Well, I want to pour you a glass of water, but there seems to be no glass at home. I'll see if I can find it." "Okay, okay," Hawkeye waved his hand and called Lu Ming over, and then continued: "Come here just to take a look, and chat with you by the way, don't be so polite, you can sit too." "oh." Seeing Lu Ming sitting down opposite him, Hawkeye smiled and said, "Are you still used to living here?" "Well, it's okay." "If you lack something, you can ask us for help, or someone from the logistics department." "good." After caring about Lu Ming's situation, Hawkeye said again: "It's the first time you went out to handle a case with me, how do you feel?" ? Scratching his head, Lu Ming thought for a while and then replied: "It feelsvery strange." The first time I heard that handling a case felt strange, Hawkeye couldn't help laughing. Then he said: "Your statement is very new. However, in fact, after more intrusion incidents, you will gradually get used to it. Some intrusion incidents are more dangerous, while others are the same as this case, relatively speaking. safer." "When dealing with intrusion incidents later, whether I'm by your side or not, you must be more cautious. Facing problems that you can't handle yourself, give us feedback in time, or give feedback to the Special Affairs Department." "okay, I get it." "In addition, the steps of handling cases with keywords were not fully taught to you yesterday. I will teach you later when the task is out." "Um." "By the way, you still don't know your abilities, do you?" "right." "I thought about it after I went back yesterday. Most of your abilities are related to shadows. You should try to use them later and find out your abilities as soon as possible. This will also be beneficial for the subsequent tasks." "Well, I see." "Also, even though you are not a medal holder, you must also prevent your abilities from getting out of control. You have not been here for a long time, so you may not understand. In fact, us medal holders will also lose control. Because of various influences , the holder of the medal may fall into an abnormal state. Therefore, every once in a while, members of our team, including me, will make a psychological report." "There are many items tested in this psychological report, and several of them are more important. It can be said that it depends on these tests to determine whether the report can pass. If the test fails, the consequence is likely to be quarantined or even banned. Killed by the special affairs department. You have to understand this." Seeing Lu Ming nodding with a serious expression, Hawkeye knew that Lu Ming had listened to what he said. After thinking about it, he seemed to have something else to explain, so Hawkeye continued: "Fang Xianzhu's case will not be handled by us later, so I will hold a welcome party for you tonight? Or do you have other ideas?" After hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I have no objection." "Okay, let's make it tonight. You just came, and you don't have all the things at home. Go to my place at night. I'll call everyone in the team." "okay." "That's the deal, then I'll leave first, and I'll contact you later." After speaking, Hawkeye walked towards the gate, and Lu Ming watched him go out. It wasn't until Hawkeye's back disappeared that Lu Ming withdrew his gaze. Looking back at the few books piled up on the dining table, Lu Ming walked over to pick up the top one. That is not a textbook for compulsory education, but a book called "Social Etiquette". There are no such books in the Special Affairs Department, so Lu Ming borrowed this book from the Qingshui City Library. Turning to the place he saw earlier, Lu Ming stood in the living room and read with relish, while the shadow behind him nodded frequently."

Turning to the place he saw earlier, Lu Ming stood in the living room and read with relish, while the shadow behind him nodded frequently. Volume 22 Chapter 22 Orientation Because the orientation meeting is set at Hawkeye's house, it is only natural that Lu Ming's dinner today is also at Hawkeye's house. When Lu Ming pushed open the door of Hawkeye's house, he saw a banner hanging above the center of the living room at first sight. The big words "Welcome newcomers to the team" on the banner can be seen at a glance. I have to say that the team is well prepared for this welcome. After casually scanning the interior of the living room, Lu Ming felt that the decoration style of Hawkeye's house was quite different from his own. Although the internal structure is basically the same, the main colors of the two are completely different. The interior of the living room of Hawkeye's house is in a light blue style, and the furniture is more complete than Lu Ming's. It can be said that it looks a bit messy at first glance, but overall, the placement of various items is neat and orderly. But what made Lu Ming curious was that he hadn't seen anyone in the living room since he came in. Just when Lu Ming was feeling confused, there was a burst of talking from the kitchen. "Slow down, slow down, don't splash." "I seem to have heard the door opening just now. Is the newcomer here? You go and see the full moon." "I won't go, you ask Tie Tong to go." "Wow, you people, are you embarrassed to let children be coolies with you?" "Go and go, I'm still pretending to be tender here. You are the most free, so hurry up and take a look." The messy sound in the kitchen obviously meant that there were quite a few people. Lu Ming guessed that all the people in the team should be in the kitchen. As soon as he took two steps forward, Lu Ming saw a small round face at the door of the kitchen. Who is it if it's not an iron bucket? And Tie Tong was also taken aback when he saw Lu Ming, and hurriedly withdrew his head back to the kitchen and said, "Captain, the newcomer is here, are you ready?" "Hurry up, hurry up, take out the dishes first, remember to be careful." Then, Lu Ming saw the full moon, the comb and the iron bucket coming out of the kitchen carrying the dishes in turn. Some of the dishes that have just come out of the pan are still steaming, and the living room is suddenly filled with aroma. The iron bucket closed its eyes and smelled the tempting aroma of the air, and its throat rolled twice unconsciously. Then she turned towards the kitchen and said, "Captain, hurry up! I'm starving to death!" Hawkeye, who was wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen, wiped the sweat from his forehead first, and then replied, "Immediately, don't worry." In the living room, Full Moon went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of food and put them on the dining table, then walked over to Lu Ming with a smile and said: "The captain is cooking today, it will be ready soon, you can sit down first." Lu Ming nodded, and then asked, "Do you need my help?" The comb in the distance laughed, and then said: "You are the protagonist today, so there is no reason to ask you to help. It's okay, we are here." Seeing what Comb said, Lu Ming gave up the idea of ??helping in the kitchen. After sitting down on the sofa, Lu Ming casually looked at the situation in the living room. Not long after, Hawkeye walked to the dining table with a plate of freshly cooked dishes. "Okay, the dishes are ready, let's all go to the table." Tie Tong hopped and hopped to find a seat and sat on it. Lu Ming saw that she was not much taller than the seat, so he couldn't help but wonder what was going on with her in normal life. Soon, except for Hawkeye, the rest of the people took their seats one after another. And Lu Ming saw that Hawkeye unbuttoned his apron and went straight to the stairwell. Seeing this scene, he asked full moon curiously: "Isn't the captain at the table?" Full Moon smiled and didn't speak, instead she covered her mouth with the comb on the opposite side and said, "This time the captain is bleeding, just wait and see." Sure enough, Hawkeye, who disappeared after a while, came out of the stairwell with two boxes in his hand. Seeing this scene, Comb was surprised and said: "Captain, you are not selfish at all." Then Comb said to Lu Ming: "Newcomer, you made a lot of money today. The two bottles of wine that the captain brought out are treasures. In the last era, the price was sky-high, but now ordinary people can¡¯t drink it. Let me tell you. If calculated by the bottle, these two bottles of wine can buy a suite in Qingshui City.¡± Lu Ming was a little surprised when he heard the news. He looked at the two boxes in Hawkeye's hand. Because of the words of the comb, he subconsciously imagined these two boxes as the house he lived in. This thing so expensive? The shock in Lu Ming's eyes couldn't be hidden from Hawkeye. He put two bottles of wine on the dining table with a smile, and said to Lu Ming: "Wine is indeed good wine, but wine is for drinking. There's no need to worry about anything else." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye opened both bottles of wine and poured everyone a glass. Hawkeye stood up and said, "Come on, let's celebrate the newcomer Lu Ming's entry into the team. Everyone has done it!" Everyone also stood up one after another, and after clinking glasses with each other, they all drank in one gulp. &After getting up, Hawkeye became a little more awake. Standing up, he found that the situation of everyone in the living room was not much better than himself, so he clapped his hands and said: "Wake up, wake up, everyone." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hawkeye said: "You are full, don't you want to have some entertainment? I suggest that we sing a song. I have a ready-made KTV here. Sing whatever you want." Tie Tong leaned on the back of the chair, and excitedly said after hearing the singing: "Okay, let's sing, let's sing." Comb stretched and yawned, "I can do anything." Full Moon supported her head, and said lightly: "You guys can do whatever you want." Seeing that only Lu Ming did not express his opinion, Hawkeye looked at Lu Ming. Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Singing? I can't." "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't. Then it's settled, let's sing." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye turned on the TV in the living room. With slightly adjusted functions of the TV, this hanging TV becomes the center of the KTV in the living room. In the beginning, everyone was a little full because they ate too much, but after Hawkeye sang two songs, the atmosphere in the living room became active. "The girl told me that I was a thief~" "Steal her memories and stuff them into my mind~" "The captain's singing is terrible, cut it off." Hawkeye's song was cut after Combs yelled in the noisy living room. Hawkeye noticed it halfway through the song, and found that the accompaniment was gone, and then asked, "Why did you cut it? Wait, who ordered this "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep"?" Before he heard the answer, he heard the immature voice of the iron bucket in the living room. "Pleasant goat, beautiful goat, lazy goat, boiling goat, slow goat, soft sheep, red wolf, gray wolf~" "Don't look at me as a sheep, the green grass becomes more fragrant because of me~" "The sky becomes bluer because of me, and the white clouds become softer because of me~" "Don't look at me as a sheep, the intelligence of sheep is unimaginable~" "No matter how high the sky is, the mood is as unrestrained, chasing the sun every day~" "If there is any problem to hold me back, I won't feel sad~" "" In the second half of the night, the atmosphere in the whole living room was completely heated up. Everyone howled, I roared, and the whole living room became a small KTV. Even at the end, Lu Ming, who was so hot that he couldn't sing, sang a few lines. So, in the fiery atmosphere, the people in the living room walked towards the deeper night Volume 23 Chapter 23 Tortuous Situation Lu Ming was the first one to wake up the next day, and he didn't know when the crowd went crazy yesterday, anyway, he was the first one to lie down. Getting up and looking, Lu Ming found himself lying on the sofa. Rubbing his eyes, Lu Ming glanced around the living room, and the scene in front of him left him dumbfounded. The living room, which was clean and tidy yesterday, is now a mess, not to mention sundries everywhere, and there is still a person lying on the floor. Walking over to have a look, Lu Ming found that it was Hawkeye. I saw that the captain of the medal holder team was sleeping very soundly, snoring from time to time. Lu Ming didn't wake up Hawkeye, but found a blanket to cover him. In the process, he found Combs sleeping on another couch. Combs was a woman after all, so she wasn't lying on the floor like Hawkeye. It's just that Comb's sleeping position is not very good-looking either. She was lying on the sofa with her head down, and a blanket fell on the ground next to her. Lu Ming walked over to pick up the blanket, and then gently covered him. As for the situation of the full moon, it was much better than the previous two people. He ran to the bedroom and fell asleep, but he still hasn't woken up yet. The most outrageous thing is the iron bucket. No matter how bad Hawkeye is, he still sleeps on the floor. She was fine, and went straight to the dining table and fell asleep. What's even more peculiar is that the iron bucket turned out to be in a big-character sleeping position on the dining table. Although it didn't fall off, she still had a lot of oil stains from the dining table all over her body. Lu Ming was also a little helpless, how crazy did these people become yesterday. After shaking his head slightly, he didn't find a blanket to cover the iron bucket, but put his coat on the iron bucket. After doing all this, Lu Ming felt that his throat was a little dry and poured himself a glass of water to drink. Then he propped his head and sat quietly on the sofa, looking at everything in the living room. Not long after, Man Yue also woke up. He got up in a daze, and went to the living room to take a look, but the scene in front of him made him completely stunned. "This is this how they sleep?" Lu Ming spread his hands and replied, "I don't know what happened last night either." Full Moon walked straight to the dining table, looked at the iron bucket sleeping on the dining table, he couldn't help but asked, "How did she fall asleep on the table?" Shaking her head helplessly, Man Yue immediately took the iron bucket off the dining table and put it on the same sofa as Comb. I don't know if it was because I was too tired from playing yesterday, but the iron bucket didn't wake up. Instead, the comb on the sofa with her groaned twice. After finishing all this, the iron bucket also poured himself a glass of water, and after drinking it in one gulp, he said to Lu Ming: "I think the captain will be stupid when he wakes up." Lu Ming nodded sympathetically. Taking out her mobile phone, Man Yue saw that it was getting late, so she took Lu Ming to the cafeteria for breakfast. Returning to Hawkeye after breakfast, the two found that no one had woken up until this point. Man Yue didn't intend to let them continue to sleep, so he stepped forward to pat Hawkeye awake. "Captain, wake up, get up." Hawkeye trembled after being slapped by the full moon, and then slowly opened his eyes. After realizing that he was actually sleeping on the ground, Hawkeye immediately sat up. At the beginning, he was not relieved, but when his drowsiness subsided, he realized that the scene in front of him was a bit "scary". The whole living room was in a mess, all kinds of sundries were thrown on the ground, and the dining table was also in a mess. Glancing at the comb and iron barrel that were sleeping on the sofa, he saw that the iron barrel was still stained with oil. Wait, this is my home? Standing up in an instant, Hawkeye was completely awake now. Touching his forehead, he said in disbelief, "What happened?" Hearing this, Man Yue said from the side: "Captain, you have to ask yourself." The words of the full moon reminded Hawkeye of yesterday's scene. He remembered that he and Tie Comb sang to the end. He forgot what time it was, but he was very sleepy. So he dropped the microphone, found a random position and lay down. Who knew that when I woke up today, the house turned into this appearance. Seeing that he seems to have almost recalled it, Man Yue added from the side: "Tie Tong slept on the dining table yesterday, and when I woke up, I hugged her to the comb sofa." After hearing this, Hawkeye first glanced at the iron bucket sleeping on the sofa, then turned to look at Man Yue, his eyes were full of confusion, and Man Yue naturally understood the meaning of Hawk Eye's look. How did she manage to fall asleep at the dinner table? After exhaling, Hawkeye took out his mobile phone to check the time, and found that it was almost 11 o'clock, so he immediately woke up the comb and the iron bucket. When the two woke up, their faces were also confused, especially the iron bucket. When several people vividly described her falling asleep on the dining table, she looked round and round.nbsp; "Well, that's fine too." Taking a deep puff of the cigar, Zhang Haoran exhaled a puff of smoke upwards, then he tilted his head and said to Hawkeye: "If Zhao Dahai is still alive, then there is still hope. What I am most worried about now is that Zhao Dahai is dead. In this way, the clues of the whole case will be broken, and it will be difficult to handle." After hearing this, Hawkeye frowned and remained silent. Zhang Haoran extinguished his cigar, and then said again: "Let your team take a good rest recently. I guess you will need to play in the end." "okay, I get it." "Well, I have nothing to do here, you should go back first." Coming out of the Special Affairs Department, Hawkeye took a look at the world called "the other side" above his head, and muttered something in his mouth. "Why do I feel that something is wrong with this?" Shaking his head, he walked towards his residence. Volume 2 Chapter 24 Extra-staff Members of the Medal Holder Squad Returning to his residence, Hawkeye found that everyone hadn't left, but were chatting in the living room. Seeing Hawkeye came back, Tie Tong took the lead in asking what Hawkeye was doing. Hawkeye didn't hide anything, and told everyone the news from Zhang Haoran intact. Things are really strange, so everyone started to discuss in the living room after talking to each other. Lu Ming didn't know much about this aspect, and he listened quietly while the others were discussing. However, due to the lack of information, no one came to any definite conclusion after discussing for a long time. So after a while, everyone got up and said goodbye, those who had something to do, and those who had nothing to do went home. Returning to his residence from Hawkeye, Lu Ming had nothing else to do, and simply continued to read the books he borrowed from the library. But as soon as he turned the pages of the book, he remembered that a book he borrowed seemed to be over the deadline, and he had to go to the library to return the book today. The library card of the library in Qingshui City can borrow seven books at a time, but each book must be returned within seven days. Once the return is overdue or not returned, the consequences will be very serious. Lu Ming had heard the staff mention this point when he was borrowing books, so without much hesitation, Lu Ming took the book that was due and walked towards the library. The library is located in the center of Qingshui City, some distance away from the Special Affairs Department. But because he had been there last time, Lu Ming's speed this time was much faster. Walking all the way, because it is the hottest time of the day, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Traveling in hot weather would be a bit irritable, but Lu Ming didn't feel much, he just quickened his pace. He came to the vicinity of the library smoothly, and Lu Ming could even see the library's logo. After another crossroad, you can reach the library smoothly, which makes Lu Ming feel better. When the green light on the sidewalk turned on, he walked towards the opposite side. Just after walking the sidewalk, Lu Ming found a man in his thirties standing in front of him. The first time he saw this man, Lu Ming felt that the man's temperament was somewhat unique. I saw that the man was all white from top to bottom, white suit and trousers, and even the main color of the tie on the chest was white, including the leather shoes, which were also white, with a rose tattooed on them. What puzzled Lu Ming the most was that in such hot weather, the other party was wearing a gentleman's hat, of course, it was also white. The man stood there with his hands in his trouser pockets, with a faint smile on his sharp face, looking at Lu Ming with scrutiny and curiosity in his eyes. After meeting the other party's eyes, Lu Ming found that his body suddenly became inexplicably irritable, and that feeling was like the feeling of blood boiling after meeting an enemy. But this feeling came and went quickly, almost disappearing in an instant. Just now what happened? After taking a look at his body and noticing anything abnormal, Lu Ming had no choice but to give up. Then he didn't continue to look at the man in the suit, but walked straight forward. The moment Lu Ming passed by the man in the suit, Lu Ming clearly heard the man's question. "Your name is Lu Ming?" Lu Ming, who was walking, stopped and looked back at him suspiciously. "Who are you?" Facing Lu Ming's question, the man in the suit just smiled and did not answer. Just when Lu Ming was confused, the man in the suit asked again: "How do you feel in the Special Affairs Department?" Knowing his name and knowing that he is in the special affairs department, who is this person? Just when he was about to ask the other party's identity again, Lu Ming found that there was a red rope around the other party's neck, thinking of his experience in the special affairs department these days, he immediately asked: "Are you a medal holder? " The man in the suit smiled again, not seeming to deny it. Then, under Lu Ming's suspicious eyes, the man in the suit looked him up and down several times. From the eyes of the other party, Lu Ming found that the other party seemed to be confirming something at first, but later this confirmation disappeared in the other party's eyes, replaced by admiration. Just like that, the man in the suit looked at Lu Ming for a while, and then threw a sentence to Lu Ming who didn't know why. "You are indeed strange." Lu Ming was about to ask the other party what he meant by this, but he saw that the other party had turned around and left, leaving Lu Ming with a pure white back and a gesture of goodbye. "What does this person mean?" After watching the white figure disappear from his sight, Lu Ming still couldn't figure out what the other party meant when he stopped him and the conversation just now. Finally, he temporarily put these thoughts behind him and walked towards the library ahead. theThe process of returning the book was very smooth. Not only that, Lu Ming also borrowed another book by taking advantage of the vacant quota for returning the book. Walking out of the library gate, Lu Ming had to lower his gaze slightly due to the glare of the sun. But he suddenly remembered Jiang Cailing and the other side he had described, so he looked up at the sky again. Same as last time, the transparent mirror still exists there, it seems that in this world, this mirror is the sun that never sets. Back home, Lu Ming still held the book and read it, but the words and deeds of the man in the suit still appeared in his mind. After that, one question after another appeared in Lu Ming's mind. Who is that man in a suit? What exactly did he mean by what he said? Also, after looking at him, why does my body have that strange feeling? Surrounded by doubts, Lu Ming was no longer in the mood for reading. He closed the book and decided to talk to someone about his experience. And the person he was looking for was none other than his captain, Hawkeye. After knocking on the door of Hawkeye's house, Hawkeye quickly came out to welcome Lu Ming in. After both of them sat down, Hawkeye cut to the point and said, "What do you want me to do?" Lu Ming organized his language, and then replied: "This is the captain. Just now I went to the library to return books, and I met a strange person on the way. He not only knew my name, but also knew that I was in the Special Affairs Department. I Looking at the things hanging around his neck, I wonder if he is also a medal holder" Listening to Lu Ming's previous description, Hawkeye was still a little confused, because Lu Ming's identity is supposed to be kept secret. Even if someone from the special affairs department has seen him, they will definitely not know his real name. Therefore, Hawkeye was a little confused at first, but after hearing Lu Ming mention the holder of the medal, he gradually got an impression in his mind. "Is the man you're talking about wearing a white suit?" "Yes Hey, how do you know, Captain?" Hawkeye looked at Lu Ming's surprised look and smiled, and then said: "I know this person, and as you guessed, he is indeed a medal holder." "Then he" "You want to ask why he is not in the team, right?" "Um." "Well, the situation is a bit complicated, I'll go get a glass of water first." After getting up and pouring two glasses of water, Hawkeye walked over again, and after handing one of the glasses of water to Lu Ming, Hawkeye took a sip of the glass of water in his hand. After drinking the water, Hawkeye put down his glass and continued: "The person you saw today is actually a member of the team, but he is a non-staff member of our team, code-named Desire. Desire came to Qingshui City more than a year ago. Because of his special situation, he usually doesn't live with us, and he won't take action in normal missions." "A special situation?" "Well, his ability is uncontrollable. Anyone who looks at him, or looks at him for more than three seconds, will fall into the abyss of desire. Specifically, if you look at him or look at him, then each These desires will dominate your body and make you involuntarily make corresponding actions. These desires include but are not limited to possessive desires, lustful desires, desires for knowledge, desires for performance, etc.¡± "Generally speaking, when people see him, their desires will be infinitely magnified, and they will not be controlled by instinct to make corresponding actions. Although these actions are not necessarily very dangerous, they will also have a certain impact. Because of this ability he It cannot be completely controlled, so after discussion, the high-level officials decided to keep him away from the crowd, so as not to interfere with the lives of normal people, and his code name is also derived from this." Hearing this, Lu Ming understood why his body had such a strange reaction when he looked at Desire. "In this case, why is he walking on the street today? Isn't it dangerous?" Facing Lu Ming's question, Hawkeye replied: "In the past, Desire stayed in his residence, but later his ability control is better than when he first came here. If he doesn't take the initiative to use his ability, then even ordinary people can't see him." It will only be affected for a short time. After all, he is a medal holder. Some people in the upper echelons think it is too mean to keep him under house arrest like a prisoner. So after discussion, the upper echelons decided to give him a chance to go out freely one day a month. You It must have been a coincidence to meet him today." Hearing this explanation, Lu Ming couldn't help but nodded. In this case, it's not surprising that Lu Ming knows his identity. It's just that he still doesn't know what the words that desire said to him really mean? After thinking about it, Lu Ming still didn't tell Hawkeye about it. And Hawkeye thought of the encounter between himself and Jiang Cailing at the meeting through desire. After thinking about it for a while, Hawkeye still informed Lu Ming of the situation at the meeting. As far as Lu Ming was concerned, he never expected that he would encounter obstacles in joining the Special Affairs Department. He was even close to having no chance to sit here and talk to Hawkeye. Council, after silently remembering the name in his heart, Lu Ming planned to leave. Hawkeye didn't keep him, but after Lu Ming left, Hawkeye called Zhang Haoran. After telling Zhang Haoran about Lu Ming's encounter with desire, Zhang Haoran fell silent. Just when Hawkeye thought Zhang Haoran was away for something, Zhang Haoran left a word and hung up the phone immediately. "I see, I'll ask him about it."Lu Ming was informed of the situation at the meeting. As far as Lu Ming was concerned, he never expected that he would encounter obstacles in joining the Special Affairs Department. He was even close to having no chance to sit here and talk to Hawkeye. Council, after silently remembering the name in his heart, Lu Ming planned to leave. Hawkeye didn't keep him, but after Lu Ming left, Hawkeye called Zhang Haoran. After telling Zhang Haoran about Lu Ming's encounter with desire, Zhang Haoran fell silent. Just when Hawkeye thought Zhang Haoran was away for something, Zhang Haoran left a word and hung up the phone immediately. "I see, I'll ask him about it. ? Volume 25 Chapter 25 Application About Zhao Dahai's situation, Zhang Haoran also told Jiang Cailing. As the director of the marketing department, although Jiang Cailing is not like the special situation department, he needs to keep an eye on the progress of this case. But for some reason, after hearing the news, Jiang Cailing suddenly felt a little uneasy. Even if it is still not certain that this is an invasion incident, combined with the previous situation, Jiang Cailing is keenly aware that there seems to be some changes in Qingshui City today. Whether this change is good or bad, Jiang Cailing can't tell. But her intuition told her that Qingshui City still needs medal holders. But firstly, the population base of Qingshui City is not enough to produce more medal holders, and secondly, it is not realistic to recruit medal holders from other places. Leaving aside the difficulty, even if you can successfully recruit the other party, you still have to worry about the pros and cons. Every medal holder is an important strategic resource, which not only means that they can get good treatment, but also have easier access to some confidential information. But once the medal holders are recruited from the outside, it will be difficult to guarantee the security of the core secrets of Qingshui City. After all, this kind of non-local recruitment is usually in the form of employment, and the trust between the two parties is far from the ideal situation. Therefore, the plan to recruit medal holders from other external forces obviously does not work. However, Jiang Cailing has also heard people say that there are still some medal holders in the wilderness, and they do not belong to any organization or force. Recruiting these "lone rangers" is of course feasible, after all, they can be cultivated slowly later. But the problem is that such people are too rare, and blindly looking for them may end up being fruitless. Therefore, as far as it is concerned, neither of these two paths seems to work. After some final thinking, Jiang Cailing felt that instead of focusing on the outside, it would be better to see if there is still potential to be tapped in Qingshui City. Although it may not be possible to find a seedling similar to Lu Ming, it is also possible to find another medal holder. Just as this thought came up, something suddenly came to Jiang Cailing's mind. Zhang Haoran mentioned the Federation when he told himself about Zhao Dahai. "By the way, Federation!" I actually forgot about the Federation. Now Qingshui City is in the "honeymoon period" with the Federation. If I ask the Federation for some help, I think the other party will not refuse. Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing walked towards the Special Affairs Department. She wanted to discuss this matter with Zhang Haoran. Special Affairs Department, Zhang Haoran's personal office. As the chief of the special affairs department, Zhang Haoran certainly has an office of his own, and the environment layout is much better than that of others. It's just that Zhang Haoran spends a lot of time in the command room, so he doesn't come to this office often. After closing the office door, Zhang Haoran asked Jiang Cailing who was sitting on his office chair: "You are looking for me in a hurry, what happened?" After all, Zhang Haoran sat opposite Jiang Cailing. It seemed that Jiang Cailing was the owner of this office, and he looked like a subordinate reporting to work. However, the two had known each other for a long time, so they didn't care about these details. Without thinking, Jiang Cailing first told Zhang Haoran about her worries. Zhang Haoran's expression was a bit serious after hearing this, and compared to the past, the situation that the Special Affairs Division has recently dealt with is indeed a bit special. This made Zhang Haoran feel a little worried. The Special Affairs Department has to face many unexpected situations. To put it an exaggeration, the main security of Qingshui City rests on the shoulders of the Special Affairs Department. Once something goes wrong, Zhang Haoran will be under more pressure than ordinary people. many. Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Haoran still agrees with what Jiang Cailing said. Even if this was just Jiang Cailing's intuition, it was within the scope of the special affairs department's consideration. "Then what do you think?" Zhang Haoran asked. Jiang Cailing didn't hide it, and listed the requirement of recruiting medal holders first. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Cailing analyzed the problems one by one for Zhang Haoran, that is, the difficulties faced by external recruitment and internal recruitment. In the end, when Zhang Haoran frowned, Jiang Cailing threw the Federation out. After listening to Jiang Cailing's words, Zhang Haoran also guessed her reason for coming. "Actually, you can directly report this matter to Director Chen, but you came to me not just to discuss it, I reckon you are trying to drag me into a 'joint petition', right?" Smiling, Jiang Cailing didn't hide anything: "Yes, I'm the director of the Second Division, and I'm in charge of connecting with your Special Affairs Division. Logically speaking, I just need to report to Director Chen about recruiting medal holders. But since the federation is involved, Director Chen may not be able to make a decision." "So I think this matter has to be approved by the council in the end. Therefore, I thought of a reason, but you need to cooperate." ??? Secretary Li gave him a questioning look. Director Bai shook his head with a smile and said: "They both approved, can I still refuse? Go talk to Chen Kang and say that the council agrees to their application, but they need to solve the communication with the federation themselves. In addition , and tell them that it¡¯s okay to ask for help, but don¡¯t think that others will definitely help. That¡¯s it, you go.¡± After receiving the reply, Secretary Li immediately turned around and went out, because there was no poker game going on, the young man named Xiao He also went out. After the door was closed, Director Wan lit another cigarette, and after two streams of thick smoke came out of his nostrils, he said, "It's probably not what Chen Kang himself meant." Director Bai next to him laughed, and then said: "It must be the idea of ??Xiao Jiang under Chen Kang, but I can also understand her thoughts. Now Qingshui City seems to be stable, but in fact the situation is not optimistic. Therefore, If Qingshui City wants to achieve better development, it is necessary to improve its own strength. It is estimated that she has considered this, so she wants to ask for someone from the Federation. As for any guidance, it is fart, as long as someone comes Just do it." Director Wan, who was smoking a cigarette, nodded cheerfully after hearing this. The criminal director adjusted his glasses, and said, "This child has a sense of crisis, which is not bad, and he can be cultivated more in the future." Upon hearing this, Director Wan and Director Bai nodded their heads. After a brief silence, Director Wan said: "He seems to be still in Qingshui City?" "exist." After receiving unanimous replies from the two directors beside him, Director Wan raised his head and sighed: "It's been so many years, we old guys finally saw him again ? Volume 2 Chapter 26: A Neighbor That Doesn't Exist (Part 1) The council's reply gave Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing confidence. After a brief meeting to discuss, Chen Kang, the director of the Municipal Affairs Office, led a remote meeting between Qingshui City and the Federation. After the federal side heard about Qingshui City's request, they did not give an answer immediately, but said that they wanted to discuss it, and then the video conference was temporarily suspended. Although Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran couldn't sit still, Chen Kang was still very calm in the face of this situation. Before receiving the council's reply, Chen Kang knew that things would not go so smoothly, and now it seems that it is basically the case. However, things changed in the follow-up. The Federation suddenly connected and said that they agreed to the request and that they would arrange for a medal holder to arrive in Qingshui City in the near future. However, in terms of treatment and other aspects, the Federation still has some Require. Seeing the change of the Federation's tone, Chen Kang was a little puzzled at first, but after hearing the Federation's request, he realized that the Federation's side was simply a lion's mouth. Of course, Chen Kang felt that it was normal for the Federation to have requests. This itself is a matter of mutual benefit. The Federation sends people over, and Qingshui provides corresponding treatment, which can be said to be the best of both worlds. However, given that the two parties are currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, Chen Kang believes that even if the federation raises requirements, it will not be too harsh. But after listening to the federation's request, Chen Kang realized that the federation's appetite was not small at all, and some of them had completely exceeded the bottom line of Qingshui City. Can't give up this opportunity, but also want to strive for the best interests of Qingshui City, what should we do in this situation? Of course it's just lip service. So the two sides began to bargain on this matter, and after finally spending a whole day of work, they finally finalized the matter. As far as Qingshui City is concerned, they are relatively satisfied. There are only two points of dissatisfaction: First, the other party only promised to send a medal holder. At the same time, this person will nominally become the instructor of the Shimizu City Medal Holder Squad, with authority equal to Hawkeye's, and at the same time have a certain degree of autonomy. Second, the medal holder is still being selected within the federation, and when the selection is completed, the federation will escort this person over. Although it is said that there is no need for Qingshui City to pick up people, it also means that people will not be able to come for a while. After feeding this result back to the council, the council didn't say anything, so this matter has come to an end in stages. The Special Affairs Department is still waiting for news from Zhao Dahai and the return of the body of the driver of the convoy. There are no other intrusion incidents at present, and Qingshui City can be said to be peaceful Luo Tingyun is a staff member of the Special Affairs Division's processing team. Unlike the medal holder, his task is mainly to be responsible for the aftermath of the invasion with his colleagues. Although sometimes they will go deep into the scene of the intrusion incident, but the danger is much smaller than that of the medal holder. Working in the special affairs department will not only earn more, but also make your face brighter. Of course, Luo Tingyun still abided by the rules and regulations of the Special Affairs Division, and did not reveal his identity to his relatives and friends. However, thanks to his high income, he also bought a small house in a suburb of Qingshui City, and his parents helped him with the decoration and lived there. And he himself rented an apartment not far from the Special Affairs Department as his second home. It has been more than half a year since he settled in this apartment, and Luo Tingyun is very satisfied with his current life. The apartment is not too old, and the environment is not bad. Not only is it convenient to commute to get off work, but life is also very convenient. But just a few days ago, Luo Tingyun discovered that there was a new neighbor next door to him. This in itself was just a trivial matter, but Luo Tingyun felt a little strange in the next few days. He could hear the sound of this new neighbor when he went to and from get off work every day, whether it was the sound of opening and closing the door, or the sound of walking. footsteps. But the problem is that sometimes Luo Tingyun, who is also going to work, has never seen each other. At first, he just thought that the other party was walking fast, and just passed him by. But later, Luo Tingyun found that things didn't seem so simple. He even paid special attention to the other party's movements a few times, but he still didn't find the other party's figure after opening the door. This obviously cannot be explained by coincidence, so Luo Tingyun fell into confusion. After get off work one day, he saw that the door of his neighbor's house, which was closed all day long, was actually ajar. Driven by curiosity, he gently opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, Luo Tingyun noticed something was wrong. Although the furniture in the room was relatively complete, there was a thick layer of dust on the floor, which would leave clear footprints after stepping on it. Seeing this scene, Luo Tingyun understood that this house may not have been lived in for a long time, and this long time is estimated to be calculated on a yearly basis. So what are the movements I heard? With great doubts, Luo Tingyun continued to walk towards the house.Knowing that some people would doubt this, but facing Hawkeye's questioning, he still hurriedly said: "I'm sure, really, I must have heard correctly. If it happens once or twice, it may be that I have hallucinations, but these days I I hear it every day, I live next door, and I hear it clearly every time, there can't be anything wrong with that." Luo Tingyun's tone was very serious, and Hawkeye felt that no one in the Special Affairs Department would joke about such a thing, so he never doubted Luo Tingyun from the beginning. Just how to explain the current situation? After thinking for a long time, Hawkeye really couldn't figure it out, and then he said helplessly: "I found nothing, let's go." Hearing what Hawkeye said, Luo Tingyun was also frustrated, but he followed Hawkeye downstairs. Just after getting out of the elevator, a young man passed by Hawkeye and others, but after seeing Luo Tingyun wearing the uniform of the Special Affairs Department, the young man who was about to go upstairs stopped and said to Luo Tingyun, : "Officer, are you here to investigate the case?" No new clues were found, Luo Tingyun felt a little lost, so he reluctantly replied: "Yes, some residents are missing, let's take a look." Unexpectedly, these words shocked the young man, he said loudly: "Is there a sound some time ago, and then disappeared inexplicably?" "Oh? How do you know?!" Luo Tingyun was a little surprised, but before his surprise was over, the other party threw out a more important news. "My neighbor is like this. Some time ago, I heard some movement in his house, and I thought about whether the neighbors should visit, but then I didn't hear the sound. Once I changed shoes by the door of his house, and found that The door opened as soon as I pushed it. Later, I found that there was no one living in the house, so I called the police, but the police did not find anything. Anyway, I feel that my neighbor is like money in my pocket. Use it, and he disappears." After finishing speaking, the young man shook his head helplessly. However, what he said inspired Hawkeye. This young man was very similar to the situation described by Luo Tingyun, and the core problem seemed to be¡ª¡ª "The disappearing neighbor? ? Volume 2 Chapter 27: A Neighbor That Doesn't Exist (Part 2) Hawkeye immediately realized that something was wrong, and then he asked Luo Tingyun to go to the security office to obtain the records of the case, while he and Lu Ming visited the apartment building. One is to see if new clues can be found through visits, and the other is to see if there are any similar cases. Having dealt with many intrusion incidents, Hawkeye's intuition told him that there might never be more than two such cases. As expected, after an afternoon of investigation and visits, Hawkeye found that there were six similar cases in the entire building. Moreover, these six cases are almost exactly the same. It was found that someone next door made a noise first, but there was no movement after that, and finally it was found that no one lived in the house at all. No one knows where the disappeared residents went, but according to the feedback from their neighbors, these disappeared residents have made noises, including but not limited to the sound of opening and closing doors, the sound of walking, and the sound of coughing. But in the end, through inspection, it was found that these houses have not been lived in for a long time without exception, and there is no sign of recent occupancy at all. After learning this, Hawkeye felt that this was not just a simple disappearance. So many residents reported the same situation, and there were also members of the Special Affairs Department among them, so the situation was definitely not fabricated. The problem now is that the house that has not been lived in for a long time and the movement that has been heard are obviously contradictory. However, according to interviews, many residents in the apartment still think that this is haunted, so I only occasionally say in private that not all of the six cases were reported to the Security Office, but only three. However, as the holder of the medal for dealing with the intrusion incidents, Hawkeye does not believe in the so-called ghosts and gods, and in Hawkeye's view, the weirdness of many intrusion incidents far exceeds the ghosts and gods. After sorting out the collected information, Hawkeye decided to go back to the Special Affairs Department first. If you continue to find no new clues here, why don't you go back to the Special Affairs Division to summarize the information at hand to see if there is anything missing. Returning to the Special Affairs Department, Hawkeye briefly recounted the situation to Zhang Haoran. Zhang Haoran was also very puzzled after hearing this, let's just forget that there were more than one case like this, since the Security Department received a report, why didn't they respond to the Special Affairs Division? Called the Security Office. After hearing that the Special Affairs Division was investigating the matter, the other party carefully told Zhang Haoran the details of the case. Listening and listening, Hawkeye found that Zhang Haoran's expression became more and more strange, and when Zhang Haoran put down the phone, Hawkeye quickly asked: "What did the security hall say?" Putting the phone in his pocket, Zhang Haoran frowned and said with a strange expression: "The security office said the case is fine." Hawkeye was puzzled and said: "Is this no problem? Anyone can see that this is absolutely abnormal." After hesitating for a while, Zhang Haoran said: "After receiving the report, the Security Office conducted a careful inspection of the scene and found that there was indeed nothing abnormal. Moreover, they also obtained the information of those residents. The results showed that the house was unoccupied , because the occupants moved out of the apartment for various legitimate reasons. That is to say, it¡¯s okay that the house is unoccupied for a long time.¡± Although part of the confusion was cleared up, Hawkeye continued to ask: "So many people reported hearing the sound of the door opening and closing next door, how can this be explained?" Zhang Haoran thought about what the other party said on the phone, rubbed his temples hard, and then stopped talking. . Indeed, this is the strangest part of this case. Obviously heard the sound, but the house has not been lived in for a long time. Now that the house is unoccupied it has been proven normal, so how to explain the sound? Hawkeye thought for a while, and said: "I don't think those people lied about this matter. Luo Tingyun is still a member of the Special Affairs Department, and he has no reason to lie." Of course Zhang Haoran knew this. After being silent for a while, he said: "But the house has been proven to have no problems. If this is excluded, then only people have problems." Hawkeye did not refute this time, as far as the current situation is concerned, this is indeed an indisputable fact. Just as the two were guessing what caused this case to happen, Luo Tingyun suddenly ran over, still holding a few document bags in his hand. Walking quickly to Hawkeye, Luo Tingyun handed over a few file bags: "These are the investigation files of the Security Department. There are three cases in total, and I brought them over." Hawkeye took the file bag, and then took out one of them and handed it to Zhang Haoran. The two opened the file separately, took out the file inside and examined it carefully. It didn't take long for Zhang Haoran to discover that the dossier was the same as the situation described by the Security Office, but the details were richer. At the same time, with the support of a large amount of evidence, the Security Office has made a very scientific conclusion that there are no traces of human habitation in these houses in the near future. Therefore,For these alarms, the Security Agency is more inclined to the illusion that people have at a certain point in time. After looking at it twice, Zhang Haoran put down the file. He knew that for the current situation, the dossier was meaningless. Now the question is back to the essence, which is what is going on with the voices heard by the apartment residents? Is it really like the file of the Security Agency said that the residents had an illusion? But is it really possible that so many people have the illusion at the same time? Suppressing these questions, Zhang Haoran asked Luo Tingyun to go to work first, and then said to Hawkeye: "Let's have a meeting, let's discuss it together." After hastily eating dinner, the meeting began. In addition to Hawkeye, Lu Ming also participated in the meeting of the medal holder team. Jiang Cailing, as a long-term nail in the special affairs department, naturally also came. Including other members of the special affairs department, the entire conference room was packed. Before the meeting started, information about the case was placed on everyone's desk. The information has just been printed out, and the paper is still slightly warm. After being seated, Zhang Haoran asked everyone to read the information in full. After hearing this, everyone also picked up the materials in front of them, and the time passed by with the sound of flipping pages. Not long after, everyone put down the information in their hands. Seeing that everyone had finished watching, Zhang Haoran asked, "Just let us know what you think about the case." The people from the special affairs department glanced at each other, and did not take the lead in expressing their opinions. Instead, Jiang Cailing said first: "I have read the information, and my current opinion is consistent with the investigation conclusion of the Security Department. There are two key points in this case. One is that the house has not been lived in for a long time, and the other is that the residents next to it have heard various voices." "Everyone has read the information now, so you should also know that the first point has been proven to be conclusive. No matter what the reason for the original occupants to move out, it is certain that the house has not been lived in for a long time." Hearing this, many people present nodded. Jiang Cailing continued: "Since there is no problem with this key point, the problem must be with the person who heard the sound. Although I don't know the specific reason, it is obviously their illusion. In addition, I would like to ask a little more." Having said that, Jiang Cailing looked towards Zhang Haoran. "I want to know why the security department received three reports and the cases were so similar. Why did they neither report it nor conduct a deeper investigation into the case? It stands to reason that the investigation of those residents who moved out may give us clues. " Zhang Haoran coughed twice and replied: "I just called the Security Office to confirm, and they felt that there were no casualties or property losses in this case, and there was no need for further investigation. And they also reflected that, Even if I want to ask the residents who have moved out, I can¡¯t find anyone now.¡± Is there such a coincidence? Jiang Cailing frowned, wondering: "Why can't I find anyone?" "Because these households who moved away have different destinations, and the situation is more complicated. Three of them moved to the federal government, and the whereabouts of the other two households are unknown. It is impossible to determine where they moved, or whether they moved away after all." "I remember there are six households in total, is there another one?" "That family lived next to Luo Tingyun, but the investigation by the Security Department found that the head of the household died of natural causes three years ago. Because he had no family members, no one took over his house, and the furnishings in the house were basically the same as when he was alive." Upon hearing the news, Jiang Cailing fell into silence. According to Zhang Haoran, it is really difficult for the Security Agency to investigate the information of these people. But only a moment later, a new question appeared in Jiang Cailing's mind. Is it a coincidence that these difficult-to-contact residents appeared in the case at the same time? Without expressing this doubt, Jiang Cailing sat quietly in a chair and thought alone. Afterwards, many people expressed their opinions on this case. Most of them agreed with Jiang Cailing, and some put forward new opinions, but they basically revolved around the illusion. Hawkeye himself did not express any opinions. As a person who investigated the scene, even he did not find anything special, so delusion seems to be the best explanation for this case. The question, however, is how this illusion came about. At the end of the meeting, everyone's opinions were very unified. They decided to test all the people who had delusions to see if they had problems themselves. Zhang Haoran originally planned to do the same. After hearing that so many people agreed with him, he took advantage of the situation and arranged this matter. After the meeting ended, everyone left the meeting room. Looking at Jiang Cailing's deep thought, Zhang Haoran smiled silently, then walked to the window and quietly lit a cigar. Seeing the smoke dissipate into the night, Zhang Haoran said, "What are you thinking?" Jiang Cailing didn't look up, and replied after a while: "I always feel something is wrong." "Don't think too much. When the test results come out tomorrow, there should be new progress in the case. Maybe it's just an illusion of this group of people, and maybe they mistakenly think that they have a neighbor who doesn't exist." Laughing twice, Zhang Haoran turned his head to look at Jiang Cailing, and then the smile on his face slowly dissipated. Because he found that Jiang Cailing, who was bowing his head in thought, had a more serious expression than he had imagined.In the darkness, Zhang Haoran said, "What are you thinking?" Jiang Cailing didn't look up, and replied after a while: "I always feel something is wrong." "Don't think too much. When the test results come out tomorrow, there should be new progress in the case. Maybe it's just an illusion of this group of people, and maybe they mistakenly think that they have a neighbor who doesn't exist." Laughing twice, Zhang Haoran turned his head to look at Jiang Cailing, and then the smile on his face slowly dissipated. Because he found that Jiang Cailing, who was bowing his head in thought, had a more serious expression than he had imagined. Volume 28 Chapter 28 Association (new book for support) In view of the results of the meeting and discussion, many people were taken by the special affairs department to conduct related tests the next day, including Luo Tingyun. But after testing them one by one, the person in charge of the testing didn't find anything special about them. Whether it is instrumental testing or psychological testing, the results show that the psychological and mental states of these people are in a normal state. Now the people in the special situation department were even more puzzled. Since it wasn't because of psychological effects or mental burden, why did this group of people insist that they heard the neighbor's voice? Zhang Haoran, who witnessed the whole process of testing, was also extremely puzzled. He even wondered whether some of these people were infected by the intrusion source, and then infected others a second time, which eventually led to the current situation. However, the normal test results vetoed this, so this possibility was also ruled out. Squatting on the ground, Zhang Haoran lit a cigar worriedly. The doctor in charge of psychological testing came out of the room and saw Zhang Haoran squatting on the ground, so he asked, "Ke Zhang, what are you doing here?" Zhang Haoran glanced at him, and then expressed his doubts. The staff of the Special Affairs Department have all heard of the invasion incident, and after listening to Zhang Haoran's description, the doctor also found it strange. Originally, he just received a notice today that he needed to conduct psychological tests on several people, but he didn't know that such a weird situation existed. After a little hesitation, the doctor said, "Ke Zhang, have you ever heard a word?" Putting down the cigar in his hand, Zhang Haoran asked in confusion: "What word?" "Mass hysteria." "Mass hysteria?" "Yes. The so-called mass hysteria refers to a psychological or mental disorder caused by a certain mental stress-related factor affecting each other among many people." For Zhang Haoran, this explanation was too professional, and he couldn't understand it. So, he asked directly: "You mean, the reason why these people heard the neighbor's voice is because of this disease called 'mass hysteria'?" The doctor nodded, and then said: "This possibility is not ruled out now. If other methods cannot explain it, I think mass hysteria is most suitable for their condition." Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoran's face became serious. After he extinguished the cigar, he said, "How much do you know about mass hysteria?" After thinking for a while, the doctor said: "This disease used to be relatively common, but now I haven't had much contact with it. I know more about it from books. According to the records in the books, there was a very serious case before. A classic case of mass hysteria." "Roughly at a party, someone felt unwell after eating food, so he suspected that he had food poisoning. As time went by, his symptoms became more and more serious, and he began to suffer from symptoms. Vomiting and diarrhea, hovering on the verge of death at any time." "After other people in the party sent him to the hospital, they also suspected that the food they ate was poisonous. Soon after, people in the party also developed symptoms of diarrhea, foaming at the mouth, and weakness of limbs. There were many of these people, They were all taken to the hospital.¡± "After quick rescue at the hospital, the first poisoned patient recovered and was fine. But the strange thing is that the doctor didn't find any signs of poisoning in him. What's even more strange is that the patients who were sent later There is no sign of food poisoning by anyone." "In the end, the hospital conducted a careful examination of these 'poisoned' patients, and found that not only did they not have any signs of food poisoning, but most of them were in good health. After getting this result, the hospital finally diagnosed them as mass hysteria. " After quietly listening to the doctor's description, Zhang Haoran thought for a while, and then asked: "That is to say, no one was poisoned at all. It's just that the first person felt that he was poisoned, so that other people also thought he was poisoned?" "Yes. This kind of illness is actually the result of psychological suggestion, which usually does not have much impact. But in some social situations, this kind of psychological suggestion is extremely contagious. Once blindly believed, and the person concerned Highly self-centered, then there will be a chain reaction, which will eventually lead to the occurrence of mass hysteria cases." After reaching this conclusion, Zhang Haoran suddenly came to understand, and he said to himself: "That is to say, in this case, because a certain person's neighbor moved away, he spread the news everywhere after he found no one else. And because of wrong psychological hints, everyone eventually mistakenly believed that they had a neighbor. But in fact, that neighbor didn't exist at all?" Hearing what Zhang Haoran said, the doctor obviously knew that his explanation just now was still useful, so he nodded heavily and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is very likely that is the case."   "Is it normal for this kind of disease to appear?" The doctor hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Although it is relatively rare nowadays, I think it is quite normal. After all, it is also a psychological problem in essence." The other party is a psychiatrist, since he has said so, Zhang Haoran has no reason not to believe it. "Thank you this time." Standing up, Zhang Haoran smiled at the doctor, who also nodded and smiled back. Back in the command room, when Zhang Haoran was considering whether to close the case with mass hysteria, suddenly a staff member in the command room said to himself: "Huh, what a coincidence?" Noticing this situation, Zhang Haoran hurried over and asked at the same time: "What's so coincidental?" The staff member was staring at the computer screen. When he turned around and saw Zhang Haoran approaching, he responded: "Chief, when I was sorting out the list of residents in that apartment, I found a very coincidental thing." "What's up?" "This Zhao Dahai also lives in that apartment." Zhang Haoran was taken aback after hearing this, and the expression on his face froze instantly. The case that was already about to be finalized, under the impact of this sentence, many associations sprouted in Zhang Haoran's mind. Although he was not sure whether his association was correct, Zhang Haoran vaguely felt that this information might bring changes to the case. After understanding this, Zhang Haoran hurriedly said: "Call out the information." Soon, a resident registration form appeared in front of Zhang Haoran. Looking down from the registration form line by line, it didn't take long for all the information about Zhao Dahai's apartment in this building to be revealed. According to the information in the resident registration form, Zhao Dahai bought this house two years ago, and he is the only one living in this house. A married person living in an apartment by himself? No matter how you think about it, this is a bit strange. What makes Zhang Haoran even more puzzled is that Fang Xianzhu's case has not yet ended, and now Zhao Dahai has appeared in the case in hand. Is this a coincidence, or are the two related? After thinking for a while, Zhang Haoran asked: "There is no news about Zhao Dahai, when will the dead in the convoy be transported back?" "According to the feedback from the team, it will take about four days." "Four days? Okay, I see, remember to notify me when they arrive in Qingshui City." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran glanced at his phone, and after realizing that it was getting late, he decided to have a meal first Zhang Haoran never dreamed that Zhao Dahai, whom the entire Special Affairs Department is thinking about, is actually in Qingshui City, and he is even shopping in Qingshui City. However, Zhao Dahai at this time is different from the one in the photo. His facial features have not changed much, but he is wearing a well-fitting black suit and carrying a black briefcase in his hand. Such a dress, coupled with his aging face, looks quite like a successful person. But the problem is that Zhao Dahai has no color in his eyes, and the expression on his pale face is very stiff. Not only that, but his walking movements also look extremely mechanical, like a robot controlled by a program. Zhao Dahai, who walked like this, became the focus of attention on the street, and many people cast curious eyes on him. But after seeing his attire, many people think that this is probably rich people playing performance art. Therefore, most people just take a quick look and then stop paying attention. Just like that, stepping on mechanical steps, Zhao Dahai walked through one street after another in Qingshui City. Finally, he slowly came downstairs to the apartment where he lived. He looked up at the apartment building, as if he was looking for where his house was. At this moment, a middle-aged man passed by him. The man glanced at Zhao Dahai, and then said in amazement: "Dahai?! It's really you. I was behind you just now, and the person in front looked like you. I didn't have the nerve to ask if it was you. I didn't expect it to be you." Zhao Dahai slowly turned his neck and looked at the man. The man looked at Zhao Dahai's outfit at this time, and said cheerfully: "Yes, this suit suits you quite well. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money? It seems that recently You made a lot of money, why don't you two go out for a drink tonight" The speaking stopped abruptly, and the man looked at Zhao Dahai's pale and stiff face, and he seemed to feel something was wrong. So he asked, "Dahai, are you all right?" And Zhao Dahai just stared at the man blankly, then slowly opened his mouth. "roll." There is no emotion in the hoarse voice. If others hear these words, they may feel angry or angry, but this man does not. He was taken aback for a moment, then his whole body trembled like sifting chaff, and then, the look of fear began to spread rapidly on the man's face. After the man yelled "Ah", he fled in one direction desperately, as if he had seen a ghost from hell. Seemingly infected by fear, the man actually fell and dropped his wallet while running away. But he didn't care to pick up the wallet, and after struggling to get up, the man fled further away, and the screaming in his mouth never stopped. The man turned his head while running, as if he was watching whether Zhao Dahai would catch up. Then, the horrifying and disgusting scene just now appeared in his mind: when Zhao Dahai said the word "roll", he saw a fat maggot in Zhao Dahai's mouth, and the maggot was still wriggling. ??The whole body trembled like chaff, and then, the color of fear began to spread rapidly on the man's face. After the man yelled "Ah", he fled in one direction desperately, as if he had seen a ghost from hell. Seemingly infected by fear, the man actually fell and dropped his wallet while running away. But he didn't care to pick up the wallet, and after struggling to get up, the man fled further away, and the screaming in his mouth never stopped.

Then, the horrifying and disgusting scene just now appeared in his mind: when Zhao Dahai said the word "roll", he saw a fat maggot in Zhao Dahai's mouth, and the maggot was still wriggling. Volume 29 Chapter 29 The Puppet Regardless of the man, Zhao Dahai walked towards the apartment building, his steps were stiff and slow. Downstairs in the apartment, two officers from the special affairs department were talking softly, and the man's cry just now caught their attention. Logically speaking, in such an unexpected situation, people from the special affairs department need to go up and ask. But considering that the Special Affairs Department required the two to be stationed downstairs in the apartment and monitor the relevant situation, the two just glanced in that direction for a while, and then they saw a middle-aged man appearing in front of them. This middle-aged man walked stiffly. Although it looked a little strange, the staff of the special affairs department did not take any action. So just like that, Zhao Dahai passed by two members of the special affairs department, and then entered the apartment building. After seeing Zhao Dahai go in, a member of the special affairs department jokingly said to his companion: "Looking at this man, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go up the stairs." His companion smiled after hearing this: "Isn't there an elevator?" After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. But what the two of them didn't know was that the middle-aged man who just walked past them was not only related to the Fang Xianzhu case, but was also involved in the case that happened in this building At the same time, ten kilometers away from Qingshui City, a private house that had been abandoned for many years suddenly welcomed a "guest" today. The number of "guests" is not much, there are only four in a row. Except for a man standing by the window with his eyes closed, the remaining three people sat cross-legged in the middle of the house and played poker. Most of the items in the room were either decayed or disappeared, and every corner of the room was also covered with cobwebs. Under such circumstances, the three of them could still play cards leisurely. "Three belts and one." "I'm sorry." "Pass." "Shunzi, it's gone." Throwing the cards in his hand to the ground, the little boy who had just hit a straight smiled shyly, and at the same time, two shallow dimples were reflected in the pupils of the other two. Among the other two, one is a bald man wearing a black vest, and the other is a slender man wearing a windbreaker. Unlike the others, the man in the windbreaker had a clown mask on his face. The bald man patted his head and said helplessly to the little boy, "Xiu, why are you so lucky today? I have already lost six games in a row." The big man's words made the shyness on the little boy's face even stronger, and he said crisply: "I'm sorry, my luck seems to have been good recently." Hearing this, the bald man sighed and shook his head. The clown in the windbreaker asked, "Do you want to continue?" His voice was slightly hoarse, and it sounded a little uncomfortable, but the few of them had already gotten used to this, so of course they wouldn't say anything. Gritting his teeth, the big man took out a stack of neatly bundled banknotes from his pocket, and after putting them on the ground, the big man said: "I don't believe in this evil today. If I lose all this money, then I won't accompany you." The little boy and the clown had no objections, and the game started again. But when the three of them were shuffling the cards, they heard a voice of relief. Looking at the place where the sound came from, the three of them found that it was the person standing by the window all the time. The clown looked at the other party suspiciously, and his lips under the mask moved slightly. Just as he was about to ask, the other party took the lead and said, "I met someone from Qingshui City." The three of them looked stunned, and then they heard the man say: "It should be someone from the Special Affairs Department, but the other party didn't find me. It's okay, you continue." These words made the other three feel relieved, and after shuffling the cards, the clown lowered his head and said, "Hulk, I heard that there are powerful medal holders in Qingshui City, don't get caught. " The man named Hulk standing by the window gave a "hmm", then closed his eyes and smiled, "It's nothing if they found us, after all, they couldn't find us either." The clown glanced at the corner of his raised mouth, and didn't say anything, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Forcibly suppressing this uneasy feeling, the clown took out a card and played it out Turning his gaze to Qingshui City, Zhang Haoran returned to the command room as usual after lunch. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Zhang Haoran couldn't help thinking of a question, that is, what role did Zhao Dahai play in these two cases? The more he guessed, the more confused Zhang Haoran became. In the end, he had no choice but to clear up these distracting thoughts in his mind, and shift the focus of his thinking to the current case. According to the psychiatrist, mass hysteria is common, so my guess at the time was probably not wrong. ???The experimental product has not had time to be destroyed. " Hearing the words "experimental product", the masked man straightened his windbreaker, and then said: "It doesn't matter where the experimental product is thrown, even if Qingshui City goes to investigate, we won't be able to find it. But then again, why did you get caught by Qingshui People in the city found out?" Hulk shook his head, then looked at Xiu with some doubts in his eyes, and the masked man also looked at Xiu. Seeing that both of them had their eyes on him, Xiu said innocently, "It's none of my business. Hulk's puppet showed no abnormality when it entered the city, which means it can't be caused by my ability failure." "That's true." The masked man thought for a while, and thought that this matter really had nothing to do with Xiu. "Forget it, let's retreat first." The voice of the masked man fell, and the rest of the people in the room began to pack their things. Soon, the four people who had packed their things walked out of the house and disappeared into the vast wilderness. Main Text Volume Chapter 30: The Living Dead (new book please support) In Qingshui City, when Zhang Haoran received the report, he quickly went home from Zhao Dahai from the Special Affairs Department. Walking to the door of the bedroom, Zhang Haoran saw the mess in the bedroom. There were burn marks all over the floor and walls, and the furniture in the bedroom was burned so badly that it couldn't be seen clearly. And Zhao Dahai was lying on the ground like that, his body was scorched black in many places, his clothes were covered with burn marks, Zhang Haoran knew he was dead without even looking at him. Without checking Zhao Dahai's situation, a question first appeared in Zhang Haoran's mind. Why did Zhao Dahai set fire to commit suicide? People from the special affairs department reported before that Zhao Dahai locked himself in the bedroom and refused to open the door, and then the bedroom began to billow thick smoke. After a forced demolition by the staff of the special affairs department, they finally managed to break open the door, and then stopped the fire. Unfortunately, Zhao Dahai has already died. So what is this fire for? In an instant, Zhang Haoran thought that Zhao Dahai was planning to use fire to destroy some important things. If there is no such fire, it is obvious that such a thing will fall into the hands of the special situation department. So what exactly did he burn? Without hesitation, Zhang Haoran said to the two special affairs officers: "Come here, look for anything suspicious on the ground." The three searched the ground for a while, and one of the special services officers found the wreckage of the lighter. In addition, there are some remnants of burnt plastic on the ground, but they are only limited to these. Putting the wreckage of the suspected destroyed items in his hands, Zhang Haoran observed carefully for a while, but only with these burnt wreckage beyond recognition, let alone Zhang Haoran, even if Zhao Dahai came back alive from the ground, Zhang Haoran doubted whether he could still recognize it. figure out what it is. Putting the scorched remains into the plastic bag for evidence collection, Zhang Haoran took out his mobile phone and called Hawkeye. "Hey, it's me. You come to Zhao Dahai's house right now, the address is" Not long after, Hawkeye's footsteps sounded in the living room. He walked to the door of the bedroom, looked at the darkness inside, and couldn't help wondering: "What's the matter?" After Zhang Haoran told the whole story, Hawkeye finally understood. Seeing the staff of the Special Affairs Division looking around in the room, Hawkeye asked, "What did Zhao Dahai destroy?" "Yes, I suspect that's why Zhao Dahai locked the door. But it also shows that it will take a certain amount of time to destroy such things, so Zhao Dahai will lock the door and try to buy time for himself." Looking at the floor like a stove, Hawkeye wondered: "What exactly does he want to destroy?" Zhang Haoran took out the plastic bag containing the wreckage, and after handing the plastic bag to Hawkeye, he said, "It's burned beyond recognition now, and I don't know what it is." Hawkeye observed the wreckage carefully, and then said with a serious face: "It seems to be related to the case." Nodding in agreement, Zhang Haoran said, "I think so too." After reaching this conclusion, the two are now almost sure that Zhao Dahai is absolutely inseparable from Fang Xianzhu's case, and maybe the nonexistent neighbor's case is also related to him. After glancing at Zhao Dahai's body, Hawkeye walked over. He first took a general look at Zhao Dahai's body, and then Hawkeye activated the medal ability, and the whole world suddenly became different in Hawkeye's eyes. And soon Hawkeye noticed something was wrong, so he squatted down, carefully inspected Zhao Dahai's body, and flipped through Zhao Dahai's clothes from time to time. Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye frowned and said, "Section Chief, you are here." Zhang Haoran heard him call himself, and knew that Hawkeye should have made a new discovery. So Zhang Haoran squatted next to Hawkeye and asked, "What's wrong?" There was a large scorched hole on Zhao Dahai's trousers. Hawkeye turned the hole outwards and said, "Look." Looking along the big hole, Zhang Haoran saw a dark purple mark inside the big hole. The Special Affairs Department also dealt with dead people a lot, so Zhang Haoran could tell what it was at a glance. "Corpse spots?!" "Yes, it's corpse spots." Hawkeye ripped off the trousers, so far, the corpse spot on Zhao Dahai's leg was completely exposed to the sunlight in the room. This discovery made everyone in the house extremely puzzled. It is normal for a person to have corpse spots after death, but let alone the fact that it takes a certain amount of time for the appearance of corpse spots. Counting the time that Hawkeye arrived here, it is impossible for Zhao Dahai to have corpses. spot. More importantly, everyone could see that the plaques on Zhao Dahai's body were definitely not formed in a short period of time. Such plaques would only form after at least a few days. So the question isOh, why do people who have just been burned to death in the fire have corpse spots that only a few days after death? Thinking of this, Zhang Haoran looked at the two staff members of the special affairs department and said, "Can you be sure that Zhao Dahai came back today?" Without even thinking about it, a member of the special affairs department replied: "I'm sure, I didn't know it at the beginning, but I remembered it when I got here. The person with walking problems is Zhao Dahai. His clothes are ¡± Having said that, the staff of the special affairs department glanced at Zhao Dahai on the ground, and then he couldn't continue. Yes, Zhao Dahai has been dead for a few days, how did he get on? In other words, a dead person not only returned home by himself, but also set a fire to burn himself in the end? If it weren't for the discovery of corpse spots, everyone would think that Zhao Dahai died in the fire. Thinking of this, the back of the special affairs officer felt a little cold. Zhang Haoran put away his weird expression and did not continue to speak. Next, he and Hawkeye found more corpse spots, which further proved that Zhao Dahai definitely did not die from the fire just now. After the inspection, Zhang Haoran called the Special Affairs Department, and now they want to send Zhao Dahai's body back for autopsy. Looking at Hawkeye next to him frowning and saying nothing, Zhang Haoran asked, "What else did you find?" Hawkeye was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "It's nothing." After speaking, Hawkeye stood up, and he said, "I'll go to the living room to have a look." Seeing his figure disappear outside the door, Zhang Haoran didn't say anything. Instructing the staff of the Special Affairs Department to continue the search, Zhang Haoran stared at Zhao Dahai's body for a while, then he took out a cigar and lit it. In the rising smoke, Zhang Haoran looked out the window in a daze. Not long after, a large number of people from the special affairs department rushed to the scene. These people performed their own responsibilities, and Zhao Dahai's house suddenly became very lively. Put Zhao Dahai's body into a body bag, and several staff from the Special Affairs Department were responsible for transporting him back to the Special Affairs Department. Walking out of the bedroom, Zhang Haoran saw the busy special affairs staff in the living room. Many people are taking pictures to collect evidence, but Eagle Eye is nestled in the corner. Seeing this, Zhang Haoran walked over to check. Coming to Hawkeye, Zhang Haoran saw what Hawkeye seemed to be holding in his hand, and took a closer look, it seemed to be something similar to a router. After looking at the thing in his hand several times, Hawkeye handed the thing to Zhang Haoran, and said in a serious tone: "There is a problem with this thing." After taking the things that Hawkeye handed over, Zhang Haoran also carefully observed it several times. Apart from the shape somewhat resembling a router, Zhang Haoran couldn't see anything special about it. Hawkeye saw his doubts, and explained: "This thing emits divine power, and the intensity is not high. But if a person stays in such an environment for a long time, I don't know what changes will happen." Zhang Haoran was shocked when he heard the words, and then he hurriedly told the people in the special affairs department to wait for the people in the special affairs department to bring a small blue box, and then he personally put the thing that looked like a router into the box. Looking back at the situation in the living room, Zhang Haoran suddenly sneered, shook his head and said, "I never thought that there would be such a place in Qingshui City." Hawkeye patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out of the house. After this investigation plus evidence collection, by the time Zhang Haoran and others returned to the Special Affairs Department, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. In half an hour, it will be dinner time for the special affairs department. But what happened in the afternoon made Zhang Haoran lose any appetite for dinner. A temporary meeting was organized, and Zhang Haoran sat at the head of the conference table with a serious expression. The same people who came to the meeting last time, except for the people from the Special Affairs Department, the eagle-eyed Lu Ming, and Jiang Cailing were all there. Briefly describing what happened in the afternoon, Zhang Haoran looked at the people in the conference room and began to whisper. Coughing twice stopped everyone's discussion, Zhang Haoran continued: "Now Zhao Dahai's body has been sent for autopsy, and at the same time sent for inspection, as well as other items found at the scene. Judging from the fact that Zhao Dahai set the fire, he must be In order to destroy something, it can be inferred that Fang Xianzhu's case must be related to him." Jiang Cailing thought about it for a while, and then said, "I've summed it up. There are a few questions: first, why did Zhao Dahai come back? From his disappearance to the second case now, why did he come back at this very moment? " "Secondly, according to what you said, Zhao Dahai has obviously been dead for more than a day. Leaving aside the fact that he can move normally, why did he go home?" "Finally, since Zhao Dahai is dead, I don't think Zhao Dahai should be the mastermind behind the two cases. In this way, there is another point that must be paid attention to, and that is the cause of Zhao Dahai's death, or Zhao Dahai's death. Is there any connection between Dahai's death and the two cases?" Zhang Haoran pondered for a while, and said: "That's right, what you said is something we need to understand right now. Zhao Dahai's death is indeed very strange, let's wait for the autopsy report from the forensic doctor." As soon as the words fell, Zhang Haoran heard a hasty knock on the door from outside the conference room, and then a member of the Special Affairs Department walked in. After scanning the conference room, his eyes fixed on Zhang Haoran's face. "Section Chief, the forensic doctor has preliminarily calculated the time of Zhao Dahai's death." "explain." "According to forensic estimates, Zhao Dahai's death time was more than 7 days, and the specific time needs further investigation." After hearing this, Zhang Haoran suddenly had a thought in his mind. The living dead."That's right, what you said is something we need to understand right now. Zhao Dahai's death is indeed very strange. Let's wait for the autopsy report from the forensic doctor." As soon as the words fell, Zhang Haoran heard a hasty knock on the door from outside the conference room, and then a member of the Special Affairs Department walked in. After scanning the conference room, his eyes fixed on Zhang Haoran's face. "Section Chief, the forensic doctor has preliminarily calculated the time of Zhao Dahai's death." "explain." "According to forensic estimates, Zhao Dahai's death time was more than 7 days, and the specific time needs further investigation." After hearing this, Zhang Haoran suddenly had a thought in his mind. The living dead Volume 31 Chapter 31: Analysis (for collection) The words of the special affairs officer made the entire conference room fall into silence, because even they who had dealt with the invasion incident a lot, they had never heard that people can still complete basic actions after being dead for so long, even Such things as arson and destruction of evidence can be accomplished. Is this Zhao Dahai dead or not? "I see." After leaving this sentence, Zhang Haoran asked the staff of the Special Affairs Department to go down. Looking at the people in the conference room, Zhang Haoran's lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say for a while. "Section Chief." Hearing Hawkeye calling him, Zhang Haoran looked towards him. "What's up?" "When I checked Zhao Dahai's body in the afternoon, I found another thing. There was residual mental power in his body. Although under special circumstances, some residual spiritual power will be left behind after death, but this kind of situation is relatively rare. But I Now that I think about it, the mental power remaining in Zhao Dahai's body is not normal." "I suspect that Zhao Dahai's death is real, but his actions may not be his own intention." Zhang Haoran asked in confusion: "What is this saying?" After organizing the language, Hawkeye said: "I found that the residual spiritual power on Zhao Dahai's corpse is scattered. In previous cases, even after death, most of the spiritual power remained in the head. But Zhao Dahai is different, the remaining mental power in his body can be said to spread all over the body, and it is not concentrated on the head or any point." "So I suspect that the spiritual power in Zhao Dahai's body is not his own." "It's not his? Whose is it?" Hearing this, Zhang Haoran was a little puzzled. Under Zhang Haoran's puzzled eyes, Hawkeye slowly took out his medal from his chest, and Lu Ming, who was sitting next to Hawkeye, clearly saw that it was a silver-white medal. The Hawkeye medal is similar in style to the Full Moon medal, both are the size of a coin, except that the Full Moon medal is engraved with a crescent moon, while the Hawkeye medal is carved with an abstract brain, which is also Hawkeye's "perception "medal. Seeing Hawkeye taking out the medal, Zhang Haoran immediately understood Hawkeye's answer. Medal holders. More precisely, they are medal holders who do not belong to Qingshui City. Seeing Zhang Haoran thinking, Hawkeye knew what he was thinking, so Hawkeye said: "Section Chief, you should know that medal holders have all sorts of strange abilities, so it's not surprising that they can achieve Zhao Dahai's level. As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhao Dahai is a native of Qingshui City, so it is unlikely that he is the holder of the medal, and the possibility of his spiritual power remaining like this after death is even more slim." "Based on these two points, 80% of the remaining spiritual power on his body is left by other medal holders. And only in this way can we explain several problems that exist now, including why he doesn't open the door, but stays in the bedroom Started a fire." After thinking about Hawkeye's words several times, Zhang Haoran felt that such a situation did exist, and the probability was not small. But Hawkeye's explanation is not necessarily correct, because some situations still don't make sense. But in any case, the probability of this statement is undoubtedly the greatest. Suppressing these confusions in his heart, Zhang Haoran said: "I have sent the wreckage of the bedroom and the things you found to the scientific research department. I will urge them to hand over the analysis results as soon as possible." Having sorted out the clues of the case a bit, Zhang Haoran waved his hand and said, "The meeting is over, everyone who should eat should go eat." Other members of the special affairs department left the meeting room first. Seeing that the eagle-eyed Lu Ming and Jiang Cailing hadn't moved, Zhang Haoran asked curiously, "Have you all eaten?" "without." Jiang Cailing replied and was about to speak when Zhang Haoran continued: "Let's have a meal together, and talk while eating." Nodding, Jiang Cailing stood up, and Hawkeye and Lu Ming also stood up. A group of four people left the meeting room and quickly came to the cafeteria. The four of them ordered a meal each, and then sat down around a table. Because the meeting was delayed for some time, Zhang Haoran was very hungry at this time, and he quickly took two bites of food as soon as he sat down. And taking the opportunity of looking up, he saw that Jiang Cailing on the opposite side not only didn't move a bite, he didn't even pick up his chopsticks. Out of concern, Zhang Haoran asked: "What's the matter, you don't have a good appetite?" Jiang Cailing shook her head and said, "I can't eat now." "Why?" "I'm worried about what Hawkeye said." After thinking for a while, Zhang Haoran said: "Do you think there are other medal holders eyeing Qingshui City?" "Um." After eating two more mouthfuls of rice, Zhang Haoran encouraged" "Conjecture 2: This instrument may continue to be used for the construction of mental force fields, but it is currently doubtful" Finding and plugging in the wires, Chen Gengxin powered on the instrument, and at the same time quickly recorded on paper. "For the first test, turn on the instrument at 21:52." "The purpose of the experiment: to test the reaction of the equipment to the surroundings and the human body after it works." "Experiment time: 1 hour." "Experimental results: None." "The second experiment, a control experiment, turned on the instrument at 23:01." "Experiment purpose: Same as above." "Experiment time: 2 hours." "Experimental results: None." In repeated experiments, Chen Gengxin recorded more and more content on paper. As time went by, the sky outside the laboratory gradually brightened up Main Text Volume Chapter 32 Conclusion (new book seeking support) After a night passed, Xu Quan woke up from his sleep. After waking up, he went to the laboratory to look around as usual, only to find that Chen Gengxin was still in the laboratory. Taking a closer look, Xu Quan saw that Chen Gengxin kept writing something on the paper, and there were some messy things on the table, which looked like parts of instruments. Yawning, Xu Quan said: "Old Chen, how is the analysis of the things sent by the Special Affairs Department yesterday? Do you want me to help?" Chen Gengxin did not speak, and continued to write vigorously on the paper. Seeing his appearance, Xu Quan glanced curiously, and then he saw that Chen Gengxin seemed to be writing an experiment report. Before he had time to take a few more glances, Chen Gengxin threw the pen on the table, turned to Xu Quan and said, "I finished analyzing the matter, and I recorded the results on paper. You can hand it over to the Special Affairs Department. I'll go to bed first." gone." After Chen Gengxin finished speaking, he walked towards the rest area. Only then did Xu Quan see that Chen Gengxin's eyes were red. With his experience in staying up all night, Xu Quan could tell at a glance that this was a sequela of the night. "Old Chen, you haven't slept all night, have you?" Watching Chen Gengxin walk towards the leisure area, Xu Quan already knew the answer. Shaking his head, what Xu Quan didn't expect was that Chen Gengxin solved the analysis task assigned by the special situation department all night by himself. He thought it would take at least a few days. Picking up the paper of Chen Geng's new record from the table, Xu Quan casually glanced at it, and then his face gradually became serious, especially when he saw the final conclusion, Xu Quan took a breath of cold air, with the last trace of drowsiness in his body Also disappeared instantly. I have to send Lao Chen's conclusion quickly. With this thought in his mind, Xu Quan hurriedly ran to the Special Affairs Department without stopping in the laboratory The report sent by Xu Quan soon arrived in Zhang Haoran's hands. Zhang Haoran was surprised at the speed of analysis at first, but after reading the whole report, he couldn't care less about it. Quickly called Jiang Cailing to ask her to come over, Zhang Haoran took a few pieces of paper in his hand and let out a breath of foul air slowly. After receiving the call, Jiang Cailing came over very quickly. Hearing that the items found by Zhao Dahai's family had been analyzed, Jiang Cailing also had a look of surprise on his face. After Zhang Haoran handed the report to Jiang Cailing, she checked it carefully. "I think that the neighbors Luo Tingyun and the others described now have a more reasonable explanation." Putting down the report, Jiang Cailing said. After hearing this, Zhang Haoran nodded and said: "Obviously the wreckage left at the scene cannot be recovered, but according to Professor Chen's conclusion, this router-like instrument is a special device for creating a mental force field. If a person is in a position for a long time, Then there will be various symptoms such as memory confusion and selective amnesia. From this point of view, the so-called neighbors in the household registration should be the impact of such things.¡± Glancing at Zhang Hao approvingly, Jiang Cailing said: "That's right, there has never been a similar situation before, and it is definitely the problem with this thing. At the same time, based on the time calculation, the time of the initial report was a month ago. That is to say, this thing was in Zhao Dahai's house at that time." "Well, but such a special thing is definitely not made by Zhao Dahai. First, he has no technology, and second, he has no motivation. Therefore, only a force with certain strength has the technology and ability to manufacture this kind of equipment, and then through Zhao Dahai The sea is installed in the home." "Yes, I think so too. I read Professor Chen's speculation. He thinks that there is room for improvement in the circuit design and unit assembly of such things, so he thinks this may be an experimental model, or a relatively initial model. .¡± "I don't know about this, but Professor Chen has been engaged in scientific research for so many years, and his vision should not be wrong." As he said that, Zhang Haoran picked up the report, and said helplessly: "Professor Chen is so old, this time for the analysis work of our special situation department, he actually used his own body to do experiments to get the data. If the people above know I thought it was me, the head of the special affairs department, who forced me to do so." Jiang Cailing was also a little helpless and said: "I have met Professor Chen a few times before. He is very serious in his work, but this time he really shouldn't do it. Fortunately, nothing happened, and you can't explain it if something happened." "Yes, he is also a living fossil of the scientific research department, next time I will talk to him, don't do such a dangerous thing again." Putting down the report, Zhang Haoran said again: "Now we can be sure that this kind of equipment must have been manufactured by a certain force, and with Zhao Dahai's ability, he must not have access to this kind of equipment. So behind this incident, there must be With the participation of out-of-town medal holders." "Yes, Zhao Dahai's death may also beIn this case, Secretary Li has a more relaxed attitude towards Fang Xianzhu's case. But just to be on the safe side, Zhang Haoran still asked Wang Ke: "Minister Wang, what do you mean?" Wang Ke's opinion on this matter has long been in his mind. Seeing Zhang Haoran asking himself, Wang Ke replied without hesitation: "After all, Fang Xianzhu has acquired abilities, and he can be regarded as a person with abilities. We still need to investigate this matter. However, the punishment is also It needs to be punished. In addition, I suggest that after the punishment, your special affairs department should do a good job of monitoring him to prevent similar things from happening. At the same time, if necessary, the special affairs department can also consider recruiting him, or use his ability Complete some special tasks." Zhang Haoran still agrees with Wang Ke's previous statement, but Zhang Haoran has no intention of absorbing the other party's point. One is that Fang Xianzhu's ability is too weak, and it makes no difference whether he has him or not in the Special Affairs Division. Second, there is a medal holder team in the Special Affairs Division, and Fang Xianzhu is not needed to join. At this point, this meeting is over. Following Wang Ke out of the conference room, Zhang Haoran was about to return to the Special Affairs Department, but Wang Ke suddenly turned around and said, "How is the person you recruited?" Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wang Ke was talking about Lu Ming. "He is very good. He has been on several missions with Hawkeye." "That's good." Leaving these words behind, Wang Ke turned and left, leaving only Zhang Haoran behind. Volume 33 Chapter 2 Training In the next few days, Qingshui City fell into a brief busy. The busiest department is undoubtedly the Special Affairs Division. In addition to being responsible for the finishing work of the Zhao Dahai case, the Special Affairs Division also cooperates with the City Defense Force to search outside Qingshui City. Although the results of this search were limited, useful clues were still found. In an abandoned residential house ten kilometers away from Qingshui City, the staff of the special affairs department found traces of someone staying there, and these traces were very fresh, and it seemed that they should have been left in a recent period of time. In response to this discovery, the Special Affairs Division agreed that these traces were left by the capable people who coveted Qingshui City. Zhang Haoran didn't express his opinion, but asked people to do a good job in collecting evidence. In addition, regarding Fang Xianzhu, the Special Affairs Division finally decided to deal with him in a gentle manner after he was detained for more than a week. First of all, the Special Affairs Department and Fang Xianzhu signed an agreement. The general content of the agreement is that Fang Xianzhu shall not disclose his experience to others, and at the same time, he is not allowed to use his ability to engage in illegal and criminal activities. After signing the agreement, the Special Affairs Division informed Fang Xianzhu that he would be released. Fang Xianzhu hadn't been able to wait to deal with his decision for a long time, and Fang Xianzhu thought that maybe he would spend his life in prison. What he didn't expect was that the Special Affairs Department agreed to release him, which made Fang Xianzhu very excited. But soon Fang Xianzhu got another news. The special affairs department told him that because of the charges of stalking and intentional injury, he still had to stay in prison for three months. This made Fang Xianzhu very incomprehensible. It was right to follow him, but where did the charge of intentional injury come from? The person from the special affairs department smiled, and then asked Fang Xianzhu what he did when he escaped. As soon as Fang Xianzhu recalled, he immediately gave himself a big mouth. "You are cheap, why kick other people's cars for nothing?" Seeing Fang Xianzhu's actions, the people in the special affairs department couldn't help laughing. In addition to these two main things, the Special Affairs Department also conducted an inquest on the bodies of the team members and Zhao Dahai, and finally determined that Zhao Dahai's death time was about half a month. The cause of death of the team members was due to the huge amount of Instant death from mental shock. But at this point in time, these two pieces of information are no longer valuable. As a result, new doubts also emerged. The equipment in Zhao Dahai's home was placed a month ago, but he died half a month ago. At that time, Zhao Dahai was in the wilderness, that is to say, he was killed in the wilderness, and was manipulated after death. Then enter Qingshui City. Judging from the time interval, Zhang Haoran noticed a problem, what was the reason why Zhao Dahai was killed? Zhang Haoran was extremely puzzled, but unless Zhao Dahai came back to life, or found the person who killed him, this question would never be answered. It was precisely because of Zhao Dahai's case that the Special Affairs Division stepped up its patrols in Qingshui City, and organized a large-scale search together with the Municipal Affairs Office. Although there are no new discoveries, there are unexpected gains. In this investigation operation, many criminals in Qingshui City were brought to justice. In addition to silver bracelets, there were also Wowotou in the prison waiting for them. Compared with the busyness of other people, the medal holder team is extremely leisurely. There were no intrusions and no emergencies for them to deal with, so during this period, the medal holders took a logical leave. Of course, vacation is not a waste, and everyone basically stays at home. On the one hand, it is because there is nothing to do, and on the other hand, it is due to the need for war preparations. Considering the suddenness of the invasion, waiting for orders at home is also one of the requirements of the Special Affairs Division. Compared with other people, Lu Ming has changed a lot during this period. Except for eating and resting, he basically spent the rest of the time in books, and the book in his hand was no longer the "Social Etiquette" but "One Hundred Thousand Whys". Speaking of which, Tie Tong recommended this book to him Although he handled two cases with Hawkeye, Lu Ming didn't feel that the current life is boring. Qingshui City was a brand new world to him, and so was the world in the books, and the more books he read, the more curious Lu Ming became about himself. It is obvious that he is not a medal holder, and he can still use his abilities. Even if such a strange phenomenon is supported by Dr. Huang's theory, Lu Ming himself still finds it a little inconceivable. In addition to this point, Lu Ming has been thinking about a problem recently. Whenever he recalls the time before he came to Qingshui City, he can't think of anything except sporadic memory fragments. It seems to be The memory evaporated out of thin air. Regarding this situation, Lu Ming also checked the information, and then he found a professional term to describe his situation. Amnesia. What's even more strange now is that it's not Lu Ming.There is no reason for his amnesia, but during this period of time, he has been having a dream repeatedly. In the dream, Lu Ming dreamed that he was in a strange room, he seemed to be injured and lying on the bed, surrounded by people. These people were wearing white coats, their faces were blurred, but Lu Ming's intuition told him that these people were all concerned about him. Suddenly, there was a pain in his body, Lu Ming only felt that his body was about to be stretched apart. This kind of pain made Lu Ming unbearable, but he couldn't make any sound. When Lu Ming was in extreme pain, he felt himself being hugged by the bed, and then a warm embrace wrapped him tightly. Although he didn't know who was hugging him, Lu Ming felt that lying in this embrace made him feel a little safer. Gently resting his head on the other's shoulder, Lu Ming saw a head of soft blond hair, and smelled the smell of the other's hair tips. It was a special fragrance that could not be described in words. At this time, Lu Ming turned his face to the side to see the other person's appearance clearly, but he only saw the other person's red lips move slightly, as if he was saying something silently. Just as Lu Ming was about to ask, the dream slowly dissipated. Opening his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed, looking out of the window, the street lamps were still dotted with the dark world, spreading their remaining light to the surroundings. At this time, Lu Ming would always pick up the water glass on the bedside table, and after taking a sip of water, he would stare out the window in a daze, not knowing how long it would take before he continued to lie down This dream has been haunting Lu Ming for a while. Whenever he recalls this dream, Lu Ming always feels that the other party seems to want to tell him something in the end, but every time this juncture comes, he will always wake up from the dream. Really couldn't figure it out, so Lu Ming had no choice but to continue reading. The afternoon sun stretched his shadow very long, because his back was facing the shadow, Lu Ming didn't realize that his shadow actually stepped back a few steps, then shrunk to become about the same height as Lu Ming, and then Lu Ming's shadow moved forward, and finally stopped beside Lu Ming. What's even more strange is that the shadow stared at Lu Ming's reading, and raised his hand as if wanting to touch Lu Ming's head. But in the end, the shadow's hand stopped above Lu Ming's head, and the time in the living room seemed to be frozen at this moment Like Lu Ming, Hawkeye is also at home, but unlike Lu Ming, Hawkeye is fiddled with his mobile phone. More precisely, Hawkeye is playing mobile games, which is one of the few entertainments that Hawkeye enjoys. one of the ways. The game is very old, it existed before the other side came, and it has been popular for a while. It is called Defending the Carrot, and it is a tower defense game. Hawkeye was staring at the screen, with a nervous expression on his face. It could be seen that it was a critical moment. "Pass, pass, pass, good! It seems that this pass" Just when Hawkeye thought this level was about to pass, his cell phone rang. After seeing that the caller was Zhang Hao, Hawkeye answered the phone helplessly. "Section Chief, what's the matter?" "Okay, I'll come right away." Putting down the phone, thinking about what Zhang Haoran said to him just now, Hawkeye couldn't help being a little puzzled, and now he suddenly asked himself to go to the Special Affairs Department? Could there be an invasion? Without thinking too much, Hawkeye tidied up briefly, then put on his clothes and went out. This time Zhang Haoran was not in the command room, but in his own office. Pushing open the door of Zhang Haoran's office, Eagle Eye saw Zhang Haoran instantly. After closing the office door, he saw Zhang Haoran sitting on his back, puffing on a cigar in his hand, so Hawkeye asked, "Section Chief, what do you want from me?" Putting the cigar on the ashtray, Zhang Haoran sat up straight, and then said: "The matter is almost settled now, and the case between Fang Xianzhu and Zhao Dahai is estimated to be over soon." This was not beyond Hawkeye's expectation, he had heard before that the two cases were coming to an end. But it's such a simple matter, there's no need for the section chief to call himself over. Suppressing the confusion in his heart, Hawkeye said: "I heard about it, but what should Fang Xianzhu do?" Many people in the special affairs department are aware of Fang Xianzhu's handling method, because this is not something Hawkeye should worry about, and he is at home recently, so he does not know that Fang Xianzhu's handling decision has been made. "We signed a non-disclosure agreement with him, and he will not be able to use his ability to commit crimes in the future. Then he only needs to stay in prison for three months and then wait for his release." "Oh, that's how it is." "Well, this time the joint action of several departments has achieved some results. It is true that some people are coveting Qingshui City, and most of the Zhao Dahai incident was caused by them. We don't know their purpose now, which is obviously bad news. But there is a good news News, the candidate for the Federation to support us has been selected and will arrive in the near future, but I heard that they are arguing over this candidate." Smiling, Hawkeye said: "The voices within the Federation are inconsistent, which only shows that their starting points are different." Zhang Haoran nodded, and then said, "So I'm going to ask you to do one thing now." Hearing what Zhang Haoran said, Hawkeye knew that the business was finally coming. "What's up?" "The second training session." "The second training session?"?? There was a lot of quarrel about the personal choice. " Smiling, Hawkeye said: "The voices within the Federation are inconsistent, which only shows that their starting points are different." Zhang Haoran nodded, and then said, "So I'm going to ask you to do one thing now." Hearing what Zhang Haoran said, Hawkeye knew that the business was finally coming. "What's up?" "The second training session." "The second training session? ? Volume 34 Types Seeing that Hawkeye was puzzled, Zhang Haoran explained: "It's about Lu Ming's second training session. Because the recent situation is rather delicate, I want him to grow up as soon as possible, so that when you deal with emergencies later, you can also help him to grow up." A little more security." Hearing what Zhang Haoran said, Hawkeye instantly understood what Zhang Haoran meant. "Then what do I need to do?" Pushing a thin document on the table to Hawkeye, Zhang Haoran said: "About Lu Ming's situation, after I thought about it, I made a training plan, you can take a look." Picking up the document handed over by Zhang Haoran, Hawkeye read it immediately. Because the training items were not very specific, but only gave a general direction, Eagle Eye read it very quickly, and he read the entire plan in a short time. From the content of the plan, the whole plan is roughly divided into three parts. The first part is basic knowledge expansion training. Simply put, it is to further let Lu Ming understand the relevant content of the intrusion event, so that he can have a more comprehensive understanding of the intrusion event. For this part of the content, Hawkeye thinks it is normal, because Lu Ming is indeed still lacking a lot in this area. Even if Zhang Haoran didn't say it, Hawkeye would mention it later. Compared with the theoretical training in the first part, the content of the second part is training. Including Lu Ming's shooting, physical training, etc., the staff of the special affairs department will receive such training after they enter the job. No matter from which aspect, these trainings are also very necessary. The content of the third part is the handling of intrusion incidents. There is only one main purpose, which is to let Lu Ming have his own thinking and judgment ability when facing intrusion incidents alone, and finally complete the independent handling of intrusion incidents. After reading the plan, Hawkeye asked: "I understand what you mean, that is to say, I will be in charge of the entire training plan?" "That's right, your experience in dealing with intrusion incidents is the richest of all. So it's perfect for you to be in charge of training Lu Ming. More importantly, I don't want him to be the one who only relies on theories and cases to deal with it." A person with the ability to deal with intrusion incidents. When dealing with intrusion incidents, the method is not fixed, you should be very clear about this, so in this regard, you can teach him more." Hawkeye nodded after listening, and then said: "I have a general understanding of the situation. When will the training start?" Without hesitation, Zhang Haoran said directly: "Tomorrow." "Okay, shall I go back then?" "No rush, I have something else to talk to you about." Hearing this, Hawkeye also gave up the idea of ??getting up and leaving. Under Hawkeye's gaze, Zhang Haoran took out the lighter and lit the cigar again. Zhang Haoran took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of Lu Ming now?" This question made Hawkeye hesitate for a while, but he quickly replied: "I think he actually has abilities, which may not be manifested yet, but after training, he should be more reliable after he integrates into the team as a whole." .¡± "What else?" Breathing out a smoke ring, Zhang Haoran continued to ask: "What do you think of his character and other aspects?" After thinking for a while, Hawkeye said: "After all, he just came to the Special Affairs Department not long ago, we still know very little about him, and no one knows about his past, so I don't want to jump to conclusions about his character now. .¡± "However, after these days of contact, the biggest thing that can be seen from him is self-motivation. Now he shuts himself at home and reads books every day. Not to mention anything else, this attitude is worthy of admiration. In addition, although he doesn't seem to He likes to talk, but he is still very careful in handling things, I saw it at the last orientation meeting." "Well, I see. But having said that, he is not only a newcomer, but also in a special situation. You should take care of him in the future. Helping him is also helping yourself." "good." "You go back first." "I'm leaving." Gently nodding at Hawkeye, Zhang Haoran watched him leave the office. After Eagle Eye left, Zhang Haoran held a cigar in his hand, and stared straight at the door of the office. Zhang Haoran frowned when he remembered something. It wasn't until the cigar was almost burned out that Zhang Haoran realized that the cigar was about to burn to his hand. Hastily pressing out the cigar, he suddenly realized that he had not informed Lu Ming of the training, and when he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Lu Ming, Zhang Haoran was stunned. I don't seem to have Lu Ming's phone number No, Lu Ming doesn't seem to have a cell phone. He patted his forehead suddenly, and now he had to call Lu Ming, so Zhang Haoran shouted to the door: "Xiao Chen, come here." "Section Chief, what's the matter?" &n??, because of this special feeling, all the people who produced medals will definitely not appear to miss their own medals. " "If you think what I said is too complicated, then you can understand that there is an inseparable connection between the medal and the creator, just like a father and son who have been separated for many years, there will be blood and milk in the blood when they meet." "This is the origin of the medal. Of course, the way everyone generates the medal is different. It may fall accidentally while sleeping, or it may suddenly fall from the body while walking In short, the medal holds The winner's medal is like your skin tissue, at a certain point it will fall off of you by itself." "But one thing you need to understand is that not all medal holders are of the same type. According to classification, there are two kinds of medal holders.? Volume 35: The Spiritual World (for collection) Speaking of this, Hawkeye stopped, took a sip of water, held the medal and said to Lu Ming: "Have you ever thought about a question, why do medal holders have to wear medals?" Before Lu Ming could answer, Hawkeye continued: "Many people think that since medals are to be used, it is normal for medal holders to wear medals, but this is not the case. Among the two types of medal holders , there is a kind of ability that needs to wear a medal to use it. More precisely, they cannot leave the medal too far, otherwise the ability will be greatly reduced, or even completely lost. For this type of medal holder, we call it¡ª ¡ª¡± "Wearable user." "Since there are wearing-type users, there are naturally users who don't need to wear them. I told you earlier that because of the close connection between the medal and the person, most capable users are wearing-type users. Only then A small number can break through this limitation, even if the medal is not with them, they can still use their abilities, and their abilities will not be affected." "For holders of this type of medal, the medal is more of a symbol. The fact that they can use their abilities without wearing it makes them more advantageous than those who wear it. Of course, such people are rare after all. , it may not be possible to find one among a hundred medal holders." "In the entire Qingshui City, only iron barrels are non-wearing users, and the rest, including me, are wearing users." Hearing this, Lu Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the child-like iron bucket would be such a rare non-wearable user. Seeing Lu Ming's surprised look, Hawkeye smiled, and then said: "When I first heard the news, I was more shocked than you. But then again, not needing to wear it doesn't mean that people with this kind of ability must have an absolute advantage. " "You have to understand that the core of the medal holder is the medal. The medal determines the ability, and the ability determines the scope of use." Lu Ming nodded to show that he understood. Hawkeye continued: "So, if one day you face the medal holder and know what type the opponent is, you will have some advantages invisibly. Of course, I personally think that your potential is higher than that of the non-wearing user. Bigger, after all you are rarer than them." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye smiled. After laughing, Hawkeye continued: "The introduction of the two types of medal holders is over, let me add something to you by the way." After a short pause, Hawkeye continued: "Compared to ordinary people, medal holders have more powerful power, you should be aware of this. But in fact, medal holders, like ordinary people, also have Your own weaknesses and flaws, that¡¯s not always the case, but it does exist.¡± "Still take the iron bucket as an example. Her medal is called 'Barrier'. Through the ability of the medal, she can create an energy barrier. As long as it does not reach her upper limit, then theoretically, no physical means can penetrate her. This means that if you stay behind her, physical means can hardly hurt you. How about it, this ability sounds very strong, right?" Unexpectedly, the medal ability of the iron bucket is so powerful, Lu Ming nodded quickly: "Very powerful." "But have you noticed something?" Hawkeye smiled, and then continued: "Why is she a child when everyone in the team is adults?" "Why?" Lu Ming asked puzzledly. Hawkeye didn't make a fool of himself, he replied: "That's because of the medal of the iron bucket. In fact, the real age of the iron bucket is nineteen years old, which is one year older than you. But because of the medal, her age is a It was fixed at the age of eight, that is to say, the actual age of Tie Tong is nineteen years old, but her appearance is eight years old." "Not only that, because of this, she will never grow up, and she will never grow old, and will maintain this appearance for the rest of her life. Therefore, sometimes you will see Tie Tong doing some very childish behaviors, partly because of her It is indeed a bit playful, on the other hand, this is also one of the ways for her to vent her emotions." Having said that, Hawkeye commented with a serious expression: "Not everyone hopes that they really can't grow up, at least not the iron bucket." "So, this is the negative effect of the iron bucket's medal. However, in addition to being unable to grow up, the iron bucket also has a weakness, which is lethargy. She can fall asleep in any environment, and many of these behaviors are innocent. It¡¯s a sign. We are on vacation during this period, and everyone is busy with their own affairs at home. I don¡¯t know about others, but the iron bucket must be sleeping at home. "In the eyes of outsiders, the holder of the medal is mysterious and powerful, butThe reality is far from that. Some medal holders have flaws that will last their entire lives and cannot be changed forever. In this regard, Tie Tong has actually mentioned it to me more than once, and she herself envies ordinary people even more. " Seeing Lu Ming on the opposite side lost in thought, Hawkeye picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. After putting down the water glass, Hawkeye continued: "Don't think too much, I'm just giving you this example to let you know that medal holders are human beings and have their own flaws and weaknesses. If you encounter medal holders who hurt you in the future, You have to take advantage of that." "Well, I see." After thinking about it carefully, Hawkeye found that he and Lu Ming had almost the same account in terms of medal holders. It just so happened that it was almost time for dinner, so Hawkeye decided to end today's training. Just as Hawkeye was picking up the documents on the table, he suddenly thought of something, and hastily opened the documents to take a look. After a few glances, Hawkeye spoke again. "Almost forgot, since I talked about the medal holders, let me tell you one more thing." Hearing this, Lu Ming, who was opposite him, sat up straight, as if obediently listening to the class. "I just told you a lot about the medal holder, but there is one thing you must pay attention to, and that is spiritual power." "Speaking of spiritual power, in fact, in the era before the arrival of the other side, there were people who specialized in the study of spiritual power. In essence, spiritual power is a relatively abstract concept. But since the arrival of the other side, our world has changed. Everything There have been new changes, the most representative of which is spiritual power." "If you don't quite understand this word, that's okay. You can take it as an invisible and intangible power. And this kind of power has a profound impact on today's world. It can be said that today's world is A spiritual world is not too much." "You now understand what an invasion event is, and there is often spiritual power in an invasion event. At the same time, because of the existence of the other party, the spiritual power in the human body is becoming more and more obvious. Some people even cause There is a mutation in the spirit. This kind of mutation is very dangerous, because once there is a spiritual mutation, then such a person cannot be called a human being." "During the first few years when the other party first appeared, there were quite a lot of mental mutants. Their behavior and behavior could not be judged by the logic of normal people at all. They were more like walking corpses without a root in their heads. Absolutely. Although many of these mental mutants have died, some survivors are still living in the wilderness, and they and their descendants are all mental mutants. This is one of the reasons why the wilderness is so dangerous." "After talking about the mental mutants, let's talk about the invasion incidents. As I said before, there are spiritual powers in the invasion incidents. In fact, this is also an important reference for us to monitor the invasion incidents. In addition, many invasion incidents are polluting. , and this kind of pollution actually refers to the spiritual level, including the invasion incident you encountered." Seeing Lu Ming nodding frequently, Hawkeye continued: "Psychic power exists widely in our world, and the holder of the medal is the same. Mental power is also very important for the holder of the medal. When using the ability of the medal, spiritual power is needed as a Support, otherwise there is no way to use the ability. From another perspective, the ability of the medal holder cannot be used arbitrarily, it has a certain price, and this price is the loss of mental power." "You can understand that the ability of the medal is a gun, and the mental power is the bullets consumed. If the mental power is exhausted, the gun of the medal will be misfired. Can you understand what I mean?" "I see." "Okay, then I will continue." Clearing his throat, Hawkeye continued: "Using the medal ability consumes mental power, and at the same time, in the process of using the medal, it will also emit a certain amount of mental fluctuations. Apart from this point, a certain When some medal holders use their abilities, they will also emit energy fluctuations, which is similar to the invasion incident." "However," Hawkeye continued, raising his right leg, "this kind of mental fluctuation is completely different from the performance of the invasion incident. You just need to understand this, and you don't need to keep it in your mind." "Um." After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing else to add. Hawkeye looked at his watch and found that when it was time for dinner, he took the materials and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to dinner. We will stop here first today. Let's talk tomorrow." "good." Returning home from the cafeteria, Lu Ming sat on a chair, recalling the contents of the Hawkeye training in his mind. After hesitating for a while, he found a notebook and copied the more important content into it. On the other side, Zhang Haoran, who was idle, remembered the training, and called Hawkeye. "Hey, how is the training going?" "Fortunately, he listened more carefully, and he should remember almost everything." "Or the theoretical content?" "Yes, let him have this understanding first. As for the subsequent training, just take your time and don't be too anxious." "Well, you can see it for yourself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran planned to hang up the phone. But after thinking about it, he added something. "Ehhe doesn't seem to have a mobile phone, you take him to buy one another day." Hawkeye gave a suspicious "ah", and then he heard the sound of "beep, beep, beep" from the phonep; "Fortunately, he listened more carefully, and he should remember almost everything." "Or the theoretical content?" "Yes, let him have this understanding first. As for the subsequent training, just take your time and don't be too anxious." "Well, you can see it for yourself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran planned to hang up the phone. But after thinking about it, he added something. "Ehhe doesn't seem to have a mobile phone, you take him to buy one another day." Hawkeye gave a suspicious "ah", and then he heard the sound of "beep, beep, beep" from the phone Volume 36 Chapter 36: Mental Variation Items "I told you about the medal holder last time, right?" In the room on the fourth floor of the Special Affairs Department, Hawkeye was still training Lu Ming. "Well, what are you going to say today?" Facing Lu Ming's initiative to ask, Hawkeye smiled and said: "Let's talk about the medal holders, there are still some things I haven't told you." "good." "Then let's continue with what I said yesterday. You should know about the characteristics of the medal holder by now, but there are two more points I haven't mentioned." "One, the rank of the medal holder." "Although the medal holders have different abilities, according to the current recognition, we divide the medal holders into 5 grades, that is, from D to S grade. D grade belongs to the weakest group of medal holders, while S-rank medal holders represent the top, and no medal holders exceeding S-rank have been found yet.¡± "However, the level of the medal holder cannot judge whether the medal holder is strong or not. I told you before that the core of the medal holder is still reflected in the medal. So here, the level of the medal holder is just an evaluation Do you remember his proficiency in using his medals?" "I see." Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood. Hawkeye then continued to speak: "When I first accepted this knowledge, I thought that the S-level medal holders were the strongest. But this is by no means the case. Only by using one's abilities reasonably is a qualified medal holder." Holder. Of course, you are not the holder of the medal after all, so you just need to understand." "okay." Seeing the sunlight shining into the room, Hawkeye thought for a while and asked, "How is your ability mastered?" Lu Ming hesitated for a while, and then replied: "I still don't know how to use it, it seems that that time was just an accident. Now I doubt whether I am an ability user without a medal." Upon hearing this, Hawkeye waved his hand and said, "How could it not be? I saw it with my own eyes that time, so I can't be mistaken. In your current situation, I guess you are not familiar enough with your abilities, just like when I first got the medal Don't worry, take your time, I'm just asking." With his head drooping, Lu Ming didn't respond. Seeing that his mood seemed a little depressed, Hawkeye changed the subject: "Then let me talk about the second point. As mentioned earlier, the medal holder's ability comes from the medal, and some abilities can gain room for growth, while others cannot. .If you want to improve your medal ability, then you need a process." "The medal is sublimated." Hearing this, Lu Ming raised his head hastily, with curiosity and puzzlement in his eyes. Hawkeye smiled and explained: "The so-called sublimation of the medal has a relatively complicated theoretical basis. You just need to know that, in essence, this is the process of improving the ability of the medal. Of course, this process needs to go through some steps, and the technical requirements It is very strict. Most importantly, it needs to be applied to the medal sublimator." "There are many technical difficulties in the medal sublimation device. Currently, only the Federation has successfully developed it. We in Qingshui City are currently stepping up the development, but the progress is not much. I was not in Qingshui City before. In fact, I went to the Federation at that time. The purpose is to sublimate the medal. But it's a pity, because of my own conditions, I couldn't complete the sublimation of the medal. In the end, I stayed with the Federation for a while, and then came back." Lu Ming never expected that Hawkeye went to the Federation before because of this reason. After hesitating for a while, Lu Ming asked, "Captain, if you want to upgrade your medal in the future, don't you still want to go to the Federation?" With a bitter smile on his face, Hawkeye said helplessly: "Basically it is like this. There is no way, who told us that Qingshui City does not have medal sublimation devices, so we can only pretend to be a grandson to ask for help. But last time we did it in the Federation. After a check, I don't have this need in a short period of time, after that let's look at it again." "Okay, today's training is almost here. It's still early, don't rush to eat, what are you going to do, go back and read?" Lu Ming nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard Hawkeye's cell phone ring. Glancing at the caller's name, Hawkeye was a little puzzled, but he finally answered the phone. "Hello." "In the Special Affairs Department, what's the matter?" "In the temporary reception room on the fourth floor, Lu Ming and I are both there." "You want to come? All right, all right." Hanging up the phone, Hawkeye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The iron bucket said she was coming." Lu Ming was puzzled and said, "What is she doing here?" Upon hearing this, Hawkeye touched his forehead and said, "She said she stayed at home for a long time.small suitcase. At this time, Hawkeye said: "It's not easy for outsiders to come here. The soldiers you see outside are only the first line of defense here, and there are also hidden protective nets and equipment hidden in the corner. Their purpose is to monitor around the clock. here." "Including the living room above is just a cover. Really speaking, the most important thing about this place is the room you see now. But to enter this room, in addition to breaking through the defense line I mentioned above, you must use an electronic code to open the door. This password is random and will not be the same every time it is generated." "However," Hawkeye continued to speak as he walked forward to the corner, "Actually speaking, this room is not the most important thing. The only thing that is really important is these boxes, or the things in the boxes. This is what I brought with me. The reason you came here." Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help asking: "What is in the box?" Hawkeye glanced back at Lu Ming, then stared at the blue box and said: "Spirit mutation items.? Volume 37 Chapter 37 Patrol "Psychic mutation item?" Lu Ming looked at the blue box, thinking carefully about what the so-called mind-mutating item was. "Yes. Do you still remember the mental mutants I mentioned to you earlier? In fact, the principles of the two are basically the same. They both become special existences because of the influence of the other side. Generally speaking, the formation of There are two ways for mentally mutated items, the most common one is to be affected by the other side and mutate itself. The other is to be polluted by the source of invasion and eventually become a mentally mutated item.¡± "But no matter which way it is, mentally mutated items have magical properties. These mentally mutated items may not be powerful, but their abilities are enough to surprise you." With that said, Hawkeye walked up to a blue box. Following Hawkeye's gaze, Lu Ming also looked at the blue box. This box is not big, except for a layer of blue paint, it doesn't look strange. However, Lu Ming found that there was a nameplate on the blue box, and there was a series of numbers on the nameplate. Just when Lu Ming was wondering what the string of numbers meant, Hawkeye suddenly said, "Guess what's in this containment box?" Lu Ming hesitated for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Book?" Hawkeye smiled after hearing this, and then said, "It's not a book, it's an alarm clock. To be more precise, we call it Granvin's alarm clock. Of course, it's also a mind-mutating item." "When we first discovered it, we didn't know it was a mentally mutated item. Later, people from the special affairs department used this alarm clock, and then found something wrong. After research, we confirmed that it was a mentally mutated item. Because the alarm clock is Got it from Gravin, so we also call it Gravin's Alarm Clock." Seeing that Lu Ming was a little puzzled, Hawkeye quickly explained: "Granwen is a gathering area in the wilderness, where refugees and all kinds of people live in the wilderness. Because of the invasion two years ago, Granwen no longer exists. .¡± "I see," Lu Ming nodded, and then asked, "Then what does it do?" Hawkeye gently touched the blue box, and replied: "Granvin's alarm clock, its ability is very magical, every alarm clock you see will wake you up at a certain point, but it won't. Use it like an alarm clock, then at the time you set, you will not wake up from your sleep, but fall into a deep sleep. To be precise, after you set the time, all creatures within 20 meters of the alarm clock will fall into a deep sleep state." "The time of deep sleep is not fixed. Some people will only sleep for a few hours, while others will sleep for a few days. Because the experiment has certain risks, so far we have only recorded the value of 72 hours for three days. But Whether it is the limit or not, no one knows." Looking at the blue box, Lu Ming said softly: "It sounds amazing." "Not only that," said Hawkeye looking at Lu Ming, taking his hand away from the blue box, "It's just one of the functions of Granvin's alarm clock to make people fall into a deep sleep. Granvin's alarm clock has another magical feature, That is, whether you adjust the time faster or slower, the surrounding watches, mobile phones and other time recording instruments will synchronize with it." "However, after our tests, no matter whether it is fast or slow, the upper limit of synchronization is only 6 hours at most." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye turned back to look at the blue box and said, "I won't show it to you this time, because of the special nature of the mutated items, they are all placed in the blue storage box you saw, open the storage box A password is also required." As he said that, Hawkeye pointed to several blue boxes around him, and said, "Look, the blue box you see now is called a containment box, which was developed by the scientific research department. It is perfect to block some mental radiation and store some mental mutation items." "Of course, the few boxes you see now are not empty. Each box contains a psychomutant item. Granvin's alarm clock is just one of them. Our Special Affairs Division has collected a total of three items. All of them It¡¯s all here. That¡¯s why it¡¯s so strictly protected.¡± After scanning several containment boxes, Lu Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that all of them contained mental mutation items. "The main purpose of bringing you here today is to let you know about it, but unfortunately, there is no way for you to see the things. Well, let's see and see. After talking about it, let's go." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye walked towards the door. As he walked, he said, "Did you feel at first glance that this place looks rather simple? It's just a row of shelves and a few boxes." Lu Ming nodded and said, "Well, there are indeed some." Haha laughed twice, and Hawkeye said: "The main reason is that it is extremely difficult to enter this place, so we speciallyThe smile on his face has never been broken, which caused the other girls to be very dissatisfied. After appeasing their sisters and promising to send everyone a photo when they go back, the other girls stopped thinking about it. Muttering a few words to her little sisters softly, the girl walked towards Lu Ming, and when she came to Lu Ming's side, she said shyly, "Little brother, can you tell me your phone number?" Touching his head, Lu Ming said, "I don't have a mobile phone" "Wow, little brother, you are so cruel, you can even make up such an excuse to deceive others, so I ignore you." Watching the girl and her sisters leave, Lu Ming whispered to himself, "But I really don't have a mobile phone" As he spoke, Lu Ming saw a mobile phone shop not far away. Maybe, I should go in and buy a mobile phone. Volume 38 Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cleanliness Patient But after thinking about it, Lu Ming realized that he didn't seem to have any money with him. No, it should be said that this month's salary has not yet been paid. Thinking of this, Lu Ming dismissed the idea and continued to patrol. In the next few hours, apart from being asked to take a group photo as before, Lu Ming didn't find anything unusual. Not to mention thieves, the people from the special affairs department have been patrolling the streets all day these days, and many bosses have given up even the idea of ??slaughtering customers. It is also in this situation that the bosses communicate and chat with each other, and everyone has the same idea, so it is better to be quiet during this period of time. After realizing that it was getting late, Lu Ming planned to go back to the Special Affairs Department, have a meal and rest for a while, and then come out to patrol. But when he was walking back, a man in a suit suddenly ran out of an office building. Lu Ming took a look and found that the man was relatively young, about twenty-five years old. But for some reason, the young man's expression was very flustered. Seeing him looking anxiously at the door, Lu Ming thought that the other party was waiting for someone, so Lu Ming raised his footsteps to leave. But I never thought that after seeing Lu Ming, the man's face showed excitement, and he ran straight towards Lu Ming, shouting: "Officer, this officer, please wait!" The uniforms of the Special Affairs Department are somewhat similar to the uniforms of the Guard Office, and those who don't know the inside story often confuse the two. Lu Ming didn't care about this, he stopped on the spot, and watched the other party run up to him. "What's the matter with you?" While wiping the sweat off his forehead, the man said, "It's like this. I'm an employee of this office building. Now someone in our company is crazy. Everyone can't persuade him. The situation is very bad. I came out to ask for help." , I hope you can visit the company with me." "good." Lu Ming agreed without hesitation, and then followed the man to the interior of the office building At the same time, the interior of the command room of the Special Affairs Division. After the staff discovered the abnormality, they quickly said to Zhang Haoran: "Section Chief, the intrusion incident has been discovered!" "where?" "At present, it is the Tiandi Center office building on Qingyuan Road." Taking out his mobile phone, Zhang Haoran hastily dialed the number of Hawkeye. "Hey, it's me, there is an invasion, come here immediately." Hanging up the phone, Zhang Haoran stared at the screen on the big screen and asked: "What is the level of the intrusion incident now?" The staff on the side glanced at their screen, and immediately replied: "The value of mental fluctuations is 1326, which is a secondary intrusion event, but the value is still increasing." After getting this result, Zhang Haoran's face gradually became serious. In terms of level, the second-level intrusion incident did not pose a strong threat, but the incident occurred in Qingshui City, and it was still an office building. Therefore, preventing the further expansion of the intrusion incident is the most urgent thing at hand. After calling Jiang Cailing again and asking the other party to lead the people from the marketing office to seal off the scene, Zhang Haoran felt a little relieved. After taking a sip, Zhang Haoran was waiting for Hawkeye to come over. Suddenly a staff member said: "Section Chief, the visual area of ??the intrusion event has expanded. It was maintained at 12 units before, but now it has expanded to 37, 38, 39and it has been increasing." "What?!" Zhang Haoran hurried to the side of the staff and glanced at the steadily rising numbers on the instrument, he suddenly felt bad. The visual interface is a term used to observe and evaluate the impact range of intrusion events. Generally speaking, the larger the visual interface area, the more difficult the corresponding cleaning and aftermath work will be. ?He suddenly felt bad, but at this moment Zhang Haoran could only watch, there was no other way Looking back to Lu Ming, he took the elevator upstairs with the young man. Lu Ming also learned in a short gap that the man's name was Hai Liang, and he was a new employee who had only come to the company for a week. According to Hai Liang's description, the person who went crazy was his supervisor, because their company is relatively small and there are not many employees, so several old employees asked Hai Liang to ask for help, and they first controlled the supervisor to avoid further problems. deterioration. After the elevator arrived at Hailiang's company floor, Lu Ming followed Hailiang and walked towards the left side of the corridor. Through the glass, Lu Ming saw busy employees walking back and forth in the nearby company. From this point of view, there are quite a lot of people in this office building. Following Hailiang's footsteps, Lu Ming walked into his company. As soon as he entered the company, Lu Ming heard a sharp roar: "Don't touch me!" Hai Liang, who was walking in front, changed his expression after hearing this, and then rushed into the company's office area in a hurry. In the office area, all kinds of office supplies were scattered all over the place. A middle-aged man in a suit with red eyes was pinned firmly on the desk by four people. in his faceAnyway, Brother Qin later felt that this was not the solution, so he asked me to find someone for help. I don¡¯t know anyone from other companies. I thought of many police officers patrolling the streets recently, so I thought about going downstairs to see if there were any police officers nearby, and finally met you, the police officer. After that, you, the police officer, know all about it. " Nodding his head, looking at the man's bloody face, Lu Ming asked, "Did anything unusual happen to your supervisor before?" "This" Hai Liang pondered for a while, and realized that he had only come to the company not long ago, so he was not really familiar with the situation. "Let me tell you." Hailiang's colleague, also known as Brother Qin, stepped forward. He looked at Lu Ming and said while recalling: "I have been in the company for three years. From my personal point of view, the supervisor has always been normal, whether it was before or now. But just now when I heard the supervisor say dirty, I suddenly thought One point, the supervisor actually has cleanliness, maybe it's because of this reason." "Cleanliness? Volume 39 Chapter 39 Treatment "Yes, our supervisor's cleanliness is actually quite serious. But in the company, he won't show it too obviously. The most important thing is to let everyone pay attention to the hygiene of the company. But at home, his cleanliness is very serious. I went to his house once. His house has to be cleaned every day, and he has to wear gloves when using anything, and he has to wear shoe covers when he walks." "In addition to these, the supervisor is also very concerned about personal hygiene. According to my understanding, he has to take a shower at least twice a day. And his clothes are washed every day, including shoes, even if they have not been worn for a long time. " Lu Ming was a little shocked, he didn't expect this middle-aged man's cleanliness to be so serious. But even so, his current situation may not be explained simply by cleanliness. This kind of behavior already belongs to the scope of self-harm, but it is still an extremely serious category. Looking at the bleeding supervisor, Hai Liang hesitated and said: "After all, cleanliness is only a personal habit of the supervisor, and it hasn't risen to the current level, right?" Beside Hailiang, the man called Brother Qin sighed and said, "I don't know, this matter can only be left to the policeman now." Hearing this, Hai Liang asked Lu Ming beside him, "Mr. Police, what should we do now?" Lu Ming thought for a while, and then asked, "Does your company have anything like rope?" Glancing at the black thread binding the supervisor, although Hai Liang was a little puzzled, he still replied: "There is no rope in the company, but I know there is a grocery store nearby, and there might be something for sale there." "That way, I'll knock him out first, then tie him up with a rope, and take him away when my colleague comes over." Although his own shadow bound the man, Lu Ming still felt that it would be more reasonable to knock him out and tie him up with an ordinary rope. After listening to Lu Ming's words, Hai Liang nodded and said, "Then I'll go buy a rope." After he finished speaking, he hurried out of the company, watching his back, Lu Ming didn't hesitate anymore, and went up to use the skills he had learned The man was given a few hand knives. At first the man was still struggling, but later he intensified the force. The man twitched a few times, and then stopped moving. This I won't miss him and kill him, right? After checking the man's breath, Lu Ming found that the man was still alive. While he was relieved, Lu Ming asked the remaining few people about other things. After asking about the general situation, Hai Liang also came back. Seeing the large bundle of ropes in Hailiang's hands, everyone present was a little surprised. Hailiang wiped off his sweat and explained: "I don't think the ropes in the grocery store are good enough, so I ran to buy a climbing rope, this one is stronger." Lu Ming didn't think it mattered, everyone had already fainted, and the quality of the rope was second. Shouting "Come back" to the man, the "rope" tied to the man's body was quickly untied, and then he returned behind Lu Ming. It seems that my ability is quite useful. With a murmur in his heart, Lu Ming came back to his senses, and he found that other people were looking at him like monsters. Everyone opened their mouths wide and focused their eyes on Lu Ming's shadow. It was obvious that the scene just now surprised them a lot. Without explaining, Lu Ming tied up the man himself. The man who passed out was also unable to struggle, so the process went smoothly. After asking everyone to find a flat place, Lu Ming directed everyone to put the middle-aged man on the ground. But seeing that the wound on the other party's face was still bleeding, Lu Ming asked Hai Liang to call for a doctor. He has not learned wound management himself, so asking a doctor is a safer choice. Let the doctor bandage it briefly first, and then take the person to the Special Affairs Department, and then there will be a special person to deal with this problem. Having made up his mind, Lu Ming felt a little relieved. Not far away, the few remaining employees of the company gathered together and glanced at Lu Ming from time to time, not knowing whether they were looking at Lu Ming or the middle-aged man. Ignoring these people, Lu Ming suddenly thought of one thing, how can he contact the Special Affairs Department? It seems I don't have a mobile phone But fortunately, Lu Ming's worries were quickly dispelled, because he has been wearing a headset for patrols these days. This headset is a communication tool within the Special Affairs Division, and many patrol teams will use it to communicate. But because he didn't communicate with other people very much, Lu Ming almost forgot about it. Following the sound of electric current in the headset, a voice soon reached Lu Ming's ears. "Hey, can you hear me?" Because he had been in contact with Hawkeye for many days, Lu Ming knew the speaker was Hawkeye the moment he heard the voice. It seems that the special affairs department also found something abnormal. "I can hear you,long. " "Where are you now?" Hawkeye's tone was a little anxious. "Me now? I'm in a company now, and something happened here, and I'm dealing with it now." Upon hearing this, Hawkeye asked, "Is it the Tiandi Center on Qingyuan Road?" After thinking about it carefully for a while, Lu Ming found that this office building seemed to have this signboard. "right." "You're not in the office building, are you?" "Yes, what's wrong?" Without hesitation, Hawkeye said directly on the other end of the communicator: "There was an intrusion incident at your place." "Invasion event?" Lu Ming glanced at the man lying on the ground, but said nothing. The faces of the remaining few people were pale after hearing the invasion. Of course they know what the invasion is. For ordinary people, once such a terrorist incident occurs, everyone can only think of running for their lives. The man called Brother Qin looked at Lu Ming. After hesitating again and again, he asked, "Police, is there an intrusion incident happening here?" Lu Ming nodded and said: "Yes." Then Lu Ming continued: "You don't have to worry, the intrusion will be dealt with soon." This answer reassured a few people, and at the same time, Hawkeye's voice came from the headset again: "How is the situation on your side now?" After explaining the situation on his side in detail, Hawkeye continued: "You stay there first, Director Jiang will bring people over later." After saying this, Hawkeye's voice in the headset disappeared. Then Lu Ming comforted everyone, and Hailiang came back while waiting, followed by a doctor in a white coat. As soon as he entered the company, the doctor asked, "Where is the injured?" "Here, here." Several people waved at the doctor, and the doctor hurried over when he saw the bloody middle-aged man on his face, he was a little surprised and said, "How did he get hurt like this?" Hai Liang explained: "The supervisor caught himself like this, and we can't stop him." Without saying anything, the doctor opened his medical box and began to administer treatment. Everyone watched the treatment process nervously, and no one spoke. Time passed by, and just as the doctor was about to finish the treatment, Lu Ming's headset rang again. "Director Jiang has arrived, you go and meet her first. ? Volume 40 Chapter 40 Meeting "Okay, then where can I find Director Jiang?" "She is in the lobby on the first floor right now, you go directly to find him." "I see." Seeing that the treatment of the middle-aged man seemed to be almost finished, Lu Ming did not continue to stay here, so he turned and went downstairs to meet Jiang Cailing. On the other side, in the command room of the Special Affairs Department, many people were busy. Taking off his headset, Hawkeye turned to Zhang Haoran and said, "I asked Lu Ming to find Director Jiang." Zhang Haoran was staring at the big screen, and without looking back, he asked, "Is there only one person injured on Lu Ming's side?" "Yes, he said that the man seemed to be self-harming. It is not clear why, but he has already found a doctor and plans to treat the man first." "Well, not bad. However, the problem now is that the area of ??the visual interface is still expanding, and we have not been able to find the source of the intrusion." Hawkeye thought for a while, and then said: "I'll go there. Although Lu Ming is now in the third part of the training, I still feel a little worried. After all, he has no experience in handling intrusion incidents alone." "No," Zhang Haoran shook his head, and continued: "I'll go there, you just stay and contact him." Hawkeye frowned, and said, "Section Chief, wasn't it better for me to be in the past?" Zhang Haoran wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything when the words came to his lips. After thinking briefly, Zhang Haoran said: "I will go there with you." "good." As the two left, only the busy staff remained in the command room His gaze fell back to Lu Ming's side. After quickly going downstairs, Lu Ming found Jiang Cailing in the lobby on the first floor. Today, Jiang Cailing is wearing a pink coat and the same pair of sunglasses as before. She doesn't look like the leader of the marketing department, but a single woman who is traveling. Letting the people around him disperse to investigate the situation, Jiang Cailing said to Lu Ming, "What's going on?" Having said that, Jiang Cailing took off his sunglasses. Hearing Jiang Cailing's question, Lu Ming fully described the situation just now. Jiang Cailing didn't talk nonsense, and after calling a few people around her to follow, she went straight upstairs. A group of people came to Hailiang's company and happened to meet a doctor who was about to leave the company. So Lu Ming glanced at the condition of the middle-aged man, and asked, "Is he better now?" Looking back at the middle-aged man, the doctor said: "I stopped his bleeding, and he is fine now. But this picture of him is completely disfigured, and there will be obvious scars after it heals." At this moment, Jiang Cailing said, "It's fine as long as people have nothing to do." The doctor nodded, then left with the medical kit on his back. Walking over to check the man's situation, Jiang Cailing looked at Lu Ming and said, "Do you have any clues about the source of the intrusion?" Lu Ming shook his head: "I haven't been here for long, so I don't know yet." Seeing this, Jiang Cailing said: "The most urgent task now is to find the source of the intrusion. From the outside, the characteristics of this intrusion incident are not obvious. However, this man should be suspected. Send him back to the Special Affairs Department for inspection first." .¡± After hearing this, several officers from the city affairs office quickly found a stretcher to carry the man up. Hai Liang looked at the supervisor who was being carried away, and couldn't help but took a few steps forward. He glanced at Jiang Cailing first, then said to Lu Ming, "Officer, take charge of him" Hailiang was halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by Jiang Cailing. "Don't worry, I just want him to cooperate with the investigation of the Special Affairs Department. You don't have to worry about his personal safety." Having dealt with the invasion a lot, Jiang Cailing also knew what Hai Liang was thinking. It's normal for ordinary people to be involved in the invasion, and Jiang Cailing understands it. "well." After answering twice, Hai Liang and his colleagues got together again. The group of people were downcast and depressed, and they almost had a word of sorrow between their brows. But if anyone encounters this situation, the reaction now is the same as theirs. I thought today was just an ordinary working day, but I didn't know that it turned out like this in the end. Jiang Cailing could understand their feelings, and after asking the people in the marketing office to do their psychological work, Jiang Cailing took Lu Ming out of the company. Standing in the middle of the aisle, watching the marketing staff coming in and out of other companies, Lu Ming asked, "Is this to evacuate the crowd?" "Yes, there is an invasion here now, which is already very dangerous. We must evacuate these people as soon as possible to prevent an uncontrollable situation from occurring in the future." "Then I'll help." "Go." My request has been approved.?So Lu Ming walked towards the company closest to him. As soon as he walked into this company, Lu Ming found that the scene was very chaotic. Although ordinary people in Qingshui City are familiar with the invasion incident, there are still some people who have not personally come into contact with the invasion incident. Therefore, when the people from the city office told them that there was an intrusion here, most people's reaction was very strange. Why do you go to work well, and now the sudden intrusion incident comes? Doubts are doubts, many people still pack their things and plan to escape here with their things. However, some companies have more important equipment or items, plus the pressure from the intrusion event, so the company is naturally in chaos. At this time, the personnel of the Municipal Affairs Office must be responsible for maintaining order on the scene, otherwise, if a stampede or riot occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. After hesitating, Lu Ming walked over to help maintain the order at the scene, and also helped the company's employees move some things along the way. Looking carefully around the aisle, Jiang Cailing found that the evacuation speed of the personnel was too slow. There are dozens of companies on Hailiang's level alone, but only about four companies have evacuated now. According to the plan, this building needs to be evacuated. According to the current speed, when will this be done? No, you have to speed up. Having made up her mind, Jiang Cailing was about to take out the walkie-talkie. She wanted the staff of the marketing office to concentrate on this floor, and help the staff on this floor to evacuate first, and then make plans. But just as she took out the walkie-talkie, her cell phone rang. "Hey, Director Jiang, how is your situation?" It was Zhang Haoran who called. After arriving here by car with Hawkeye, he called Jiang Cailing as soon as he got out of the car. "I am organizing the evacuation of people here, and the situation is not too good." "Which floor are you on?" "7 floors." "I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cailing felt a little relieved. With the addition of the Special Affairs Department, the future situation should be much better. After all, the Special Affairs Department is the most professional in dealing with intrusion incidents. Not long after waiting in the aisle, Jiang Cailing found Zhang Haoran and Hawkeye who had rushed over, and at the same time, there were a large number of special affairs personnel behind them. Zhang Haoran walked up to Jiang Cailing and asked directly: "Is the evacuation work not yet completed?" "Well, there are still 6 companies on this floor alone, and there are probably more in the whole building." "Well, I will immediately arrange personnel to assist them in evacuating." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran turned around and issued an order to the special affairs personnel behind him. Hawkeye searched around but did not see Lu Ming, so he asked curiously, "Where's Lu Ming?" Volume 41 Chapter 41 Deterioration Just as Jiang Cailing was about to speak, he saw Lu Ming walking out of a company's gate. After seeing Hawkeye, Lu Ming was also a little surprised: "Captain, are you here?" After finishing speaking, Lu Ming walked towards Hawkeye, and when he walked in front of Jiang Cailing and the two, Hawkeye said, "You're fine, right?" Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just went to help others move things." Upon hearing this, Jiang Cailing took the opportunity to ask: "Has that company withdrawn now?" "The things are almost moved, and we should be able to evacuate immediately." "good." During the conversation between the two, Zhang Haoran also assigned the task to the special affairs personnel. Afterwards, the special affairs personnel of several teams rushed towards the target area respectively. Walking towards the three people who were talking, Zhang Haoran said to Lu Ming, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Being cared by Hawkeye and Zhang Haoran in turn, Lu Ming felt warm in his heart at this moment. "That's good, by the way, besides what you reported before, have you found anything else?" Lu Ming thought for a while, and then replied: "It's gone. The injured person got a doctor to treat him, and nothing else is fine." Zhang Haoran nodded, and then said to Jiang Cailing: "How many people are still not evacuated?" "If only this layer is counted, the five or six companies add up to hundreds of people." Zhang Haoran frowned: "It's too slow, how about it, let them not care about things, if you can take the elevator, take the elevator, if you can't, take the stairs to evacuate, now you can't stay here for long." "Okay, then I'll notify them." Looking at Jiang Cailing's leaving back, Zhang Haoran said to Hawkeye: "Let Lu Ming take you to the company where the injured person works, and see if you can find any clues." "Yes." In response, Hawkeye patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, lead the way." Came to Hailiang's company with Hawkeye, and Hailiang and the others hadn't left yet. Like other companies, they are also moving items such as equipment and materials. Seeing Lu Ming come back, Hai Liang put down the cardboard box in his hand and asked in confusion, "Officer, why are you back again? Is there something wrong?" Without waiting for Lu Ming to answer, Hawkeye said first: "Don't worry, we're just here to investigate again." "Do you need my help?" "No, you can do your own thing." Hearing what Hawkeye said, Hailiang gave up the idea of ??going up to help, picked up the cardboard box again, and walked out of the company. After understanding the situation with Lu Ming, Hawkeye came to the middle-aged man's work station. Regardless of the blood on the desk, Hawkeye activated his medal ability. After carefully checking around the work station, except for some tiny human tissues, Hawkeye didn't see anything valuable. On the contrary, it was the mental power remaining on the workstation that caught Hawkeye's attention. Expanding the scope of the search to the entire company, Hawkeye found that there were mental power residues in many places in the room, including the desks, but only the workstations had the most obvious traces, which gave him a guess. Seeing that Hawkeye bowed his head and remained silent, Lu Ming stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?" Raising his head, Hawkeye replied: "Other places are normal, but there is residual mental power in the room. I suspect there is something wrong with it. By the way, that middle-aged man belongs to that desk?" Following the direction of Hawkeye's finger, Lu Ming said without hesitation: "Yes, it's his." After hesitating for a while, Hawkeye was about to express his conjecture when suddenly a man roared from the aisle outside. "Let me go, let me go! You guys are so dirty, so dirty!" The two were startled, looked at each other, and rushed out. When they came to the aisle, the two saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes, but he was being escorted by the special affairs staff at the moment, and he was walking downstairs. The young man in the suit struggled fiercely, and the four special affairs officers could barely control him. Seeing this scene, Lu Ming wanted to go over to help. But the response of the special affairs department staff was quick, and the four of them couldn't control each other, so there were six of them. With the cooperation of six well-trained special affairs officers, the young man's struggle gradually became smaller. But even so, he still stared fiercely at the staff of the special affairs department, his crimson eyes seemed to be devouring. "Don't move! Be honest with me!" Under the circumstances of being reprimanded by the special affairs department staff and controlled by force, the young man no longer struggled. He lowered his head and made a "gurgling" sound in his throat. This situationis like that man theWatching the staff of the special affairs department escort the young man past, Lu Ming saw Zhang Haoran smoking a cigar in the aisle. "Section Chief, what happened to him?" Zhang Haoran spit out a puff of smoke, and said in a disturbed way: "It's similar to the situation you described, and he went crazy for no reason." Just as Lu Ming was about to continue asking, he saw Jiang Cailing appearing at the door of a company. After seeing Lu Ming and the others, Jiang Cailing said loudly, "There are a few more crazy people here." "Grass!" After tearing off the cigar from his mouth and stomping hard, Zhang Haoran quickly walked towards Jiang Cailing. "what happened?" Jiang Cailing wanted to organize the language to describe it, but in the end she said helplessly: "You should see for yourself." With a sullen face, Zhang Haoran looked into the company. I saw that although the company was busy but still orderly, it was in a mess at the moment, with chaotic voices, crowds gathered in small groups, and staff from the Special Affairs Department running back and forth And the reason for all this is precisely because there are crazy people in the company. After a rough count, Zhang Haoran found that at least five or six people in this company had gone crazy. Fortunately, there were enough staff in the Special Affairs Department, so the situation could barely be controlled. What makes Zhang Haoran strange is that these crazy people have two characteristics. First, the situation of some people is similar to the situation described by Lu Ming. They are desperately scratching their faces with their hands, even if they catch blood and blood, they will not stop, as if they are possessed. According to Lu Ming, the first person who went crazy was also in the same situation. Second, almost all crazy people will say dirty, or words related to dirty, this feature makes Zhang Haoran associate with the symptoms of cleanliness. However, the situation in front of him was still barely under control. After he calmed down a bit, Zhang Haoran arranged for several teams of special affairs personnel to come over. Seeing the staff of the special affairs department rushing up to control the crazy person, Zhang Haoran felt that this place could no longer stay. But the deterioration of the situation was obviously faster than Zhang Haoran expected. Before all these people were sent down, a member of the special affairs department came to report. The same situation happened in several other companies one after another. Now there is a shortage of manpower. The situation is almost out of control. Seeing this, Jiang Cailing hastily transferred some personnel from the Marketing Office, and the situation improved temporarily. Glancing at Zhang Haoran with an anxious expression, Jiang Cailing sighed: "At present, it's a good thing that this situation only occurs on this floor, otherwise" Before the words were finished, a member of the Special Affairs Department suddenly rushed over from the stairwell and shouted: "Chief, many people on the second floor have gone crazy. We are short of manpower now, and we are almost out of control ? Main Text Volume Chapter 42 Collective Spiritual Pollution "What?!" Hearing the news, Zhang Haoran suddenly felt a headache. I never thought that before Jiang Cailing finished speaking, the matter had become more serious. The member of the special affairs department ran over panting, and after waiting for a while, Zhang Haoran asked, "Is the situation serious?" The man nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said: "The brothers on the second floor are a little out of control. When I ran up from the bottom, I saw that the other floors were also in a mess. I guess the situation is not optimistic." Hawkeye frowned when he heard it, and asked Zhang Haoran: "Section Chief, what should we do now?" Before he had time to think about it, Zhang Haoran said directly: "First call someone over to stabilize the situation, and I'll ask the evaluation team if there is any news." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran turned on his headset. "Hello, I'm Zhang Haoran, how is your analysis going now?" There were some noisy background sounds from the headset, and then the other party replied: "The information is almost sorted out, and I will report the relevant situation to you, the section chief." "Initial report of intrusion event 0-493." "Cause of the event: According to the analysis of the evaluation team, we currently speculate that the cause of the event originated from a secondary intrusion body, which can emit stable and continuous mental power to build a mental force field. The field has a certain inductive effect on the human body, and may have hallucinogenic properties, leading to delusions and other phenomena in the polluted people." "Thinking comprehensively, we believe that this intrusion incident is a rare large-scale collective spiritual pollution incident." "The current level of intrusion incidents is level three, and we predict that it may reach level five. The specific impact of the incident is still unknown." After patiently listening to the other party's narration, Zhang Haoran asked, "Is there any solution?" The voice of the other party came again from the headset: "Considering the actual situation, it is safer to suggest that the personal safety of the polluted person should be restricted, but the transmission method of the pollution is not yet understood, so it is recommended not to deal with it in close quarters, and it is better to use an anesthesia gun for anesthesia." suitable." These words made Zhang Haoran frown. The people from the Special Affairs Department had already controlled many people and did not use the anesthesia gun. And as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't care about anesthesia or not. Now I am simply rushing for time, so I don't think much about it. "okay, I get it." Pressing the switch on the headset, Zhang Haoran ended the conversation. Seeing this, Jiang Cailing couldn't help asking: "What did the evaluation team say?" "It may be the collective mental pollution caused by the secondary intruder. I'll make a phone call first." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran walked towards the stairs. Seeing that Jiang Cailing's face was not very good after listening to it, Lu Ming asked Hawkeye: "Spiritual pollution caused by secondary pollution? What does this mean?" Hawkeye froze for a moment, and then replied: "Spiritual pollution is one of the characteristics of invasion incidents, but large-scale spiritual pollution rarely occurs. We call such incidents collective spiritual pollution incidents, which are a type of invasion incidents." , but relatively rare, so I didn't tell you before." "Oh, what is the secondary invading body?" "The so-called secondary intrusion body is a proper term we use in spiritual pollution incidents. When the intrusion source pollutes someone, if this person has the ability to re-contaminate, that is, to spread to others, we It will be called a second-level intrusion body, and the same is true for a third-level intrusion body." After explaining to Lu Ming, Hawkeye rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "Collective mental pollution is more difficult to deal with, just like what you see now, when a large group of people suddenly go crazy. This is mainly because of the logic of pollution. It will completely change people's cognition and way of thinking, and cause people's mental abnormalities, in fact, in other words¡ª" "They all became slaves to the source of the invasion." Lu Ming's eyes widened. He was also very surprised. He didn't expect such a troublesome thing to come across during this patrol. However, he immediately thought of another question. "Then can these polluted people be cured?" Hearing this, Hawkeye said bitterly: "Luck. With the current technology, whether it can be cured really depends on luck." "That's it" Lu Ming sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face. Regardless of Lu Ming's emotions, Hawkeye said to him: "The situation is more urgent now, let's go, I will go with you to see if there is any need for help." "good." Pulling himself together, Lu Ming followed Hawkeye into a company. Entering the company, Lu Ming discovered that here??The situation was more chaotic than described. It was not so much a company as a vegetable market, and there were endless shouts and shouts. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would dare to believe such a scene. In order to prevent the polluted people from harming themselves, not only the staff of the special affairs department, but even the employees of the company also came to help. Looking at the combination of three or five special affairs personnel and company employees, everyone worked together to control a polluted person, but it was precisely because of this that people in the company could not be evacuated at all. Although these polluted people will not take the initiative to hurt people, but for some reason, after being polluted, their strength is far beyond normal. Even if it is a thin woman, at least three to four adult men are needed to control it. Without hesitation, Lu Ming quickly joined a small group. The polluter is a woman, so only three people are controlling him, two of them are employees of the company, and one is a member of the special affairs department. The expressions on the faces of the three of them were a bit strained. After Lu Ming joined, the situation improved a bit. "Come on, brother, grab her right leg now, remember not to use too much force, this is the vice president of our company." A well-known employee with a handsome face told Lu Mingdao that the staff of the special affairs department next to him were sweating profusely. After hearing this, he complained: "When is it? I'm still the vice president. Now I just need to control people." Seeing what the person from the special affairs department said, the employee stopped talking. The four of them worked together to control the woman, but the other party was still struggling, and the palms of Lu Ming's arms hugging the other's thigh began to ooze sweat. The woman couldn't break free, her eyes swept over the four of them fiercely, and then she screamed sharply: "Get out of here! You dirty guys, don't touch me!" The four of them didn't bother arguing with the woman after hearing this, they just controlled the woman more intensely. After a while, the woman seemed to have no strength, and the extent of her struggle was much smaller. This is obviously good news. The staff member of the special affairs department said to Lu Ming: "Brother, the situation is better now. I will send this man out with you two." Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work now" The staff member of the special affairs department wondered: "Why?" Lu Ming let go of his hand and replied, "Look across." Seems to have noticed something was wrong, the staff member of the special affairs department looked towards the opposite side, and saw the handsome employee froze in place, with blood in his eyes Main Text Volume Chapter 43 Lord of Shadow "I rely on it!" Seeing this scene, the staff member of the special affairs department couldn't help but swear. At this time, another company employee also noticed something was wrong. Seeing his colleague's red eyes, he stammered: "Hehehe too?!" Quickly stood aside, the employee looked at Lu Ming and said, "Nowwhat should I do now?" Before Lu Ming could answer, he saw the red-eyed employee stiffly turning his hands over. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he picked up his hands and grabbed his face desperately. For a while, bright red blood began to drip from his face. "HehehahaI'm so dirty, I'm so dirty" Seeing this, the special affairs officer wanted to stop him, but he alone could not control the other party at all. In a hurry, he yelled at Lu Ming and the other person: "What are you still looking at?! Hurry up and help!" Lu Ming made a stop gesture to him, and said, "Stop, I'm coming." The staff of the special affairs department thought he didn't hear clearly, so he looked at Lu Ming suspiciously and said, "What?" Stretching out his hand, Lu Ming responded calmly: "I said, I'll do it." Is this person crazy too? The four of them might not be able to control each other, he said he would come? Just as he was about to yell at Lu Ming for losing his mind, the special affairs officer suddenly heard Lu Ming speak. "Tie him up." Just like before, after Lu Ming opened his mouth, his shadow quickly rushed out. Before the person from the Special Affairs Department could react, the crazy employee was tied up with black wires. Because the speed of the shadow was too fast, the bound hands of the employee were still moving unconsciously, which looked inexplicably weird. Now it was the turn of the other two people to be dumbfounded. After a brief absence, the person from the special affairs department was the first to react, and he said in disbelief: "The holder of the medal?" Lu Ming didn't answer, and the people in the special affairs department also understood. From Lu Ming's tone and attitude, combined with such a strange situation, it must be that the holder of the medal did not run away. Unexpectedly, he was fighting side by side with the holder of the medal, and the people in the special affairs department were also extremely surprised. As the backbone of the special affairs department, the holder of the medal is familiar with all the members of the special affairs department. It's just that it's one thing to be familiar with it, and it's another thing to actually get in touch with it. After all, after the invasion, those who went deep into the scene were medal holders, not ordinary people. Putting down his hands, the member of the special affairs department saluted Lu Ming briefly. "Hi, Major, I am Duan Kun, a member of the Special Affairs Division's handling team." Lu Ming looked at him and asked suspiciously: "Major?" Instead, Duan Kun was stunned. He looked at Lu Ming hesitantly and said, "I heard that the medal holders all start as majors. Isn't it?" Lu Ming glanced at Hawkeye who was helping in the distance, thinking that maybe Hawkeye and the others were usually called like this. Turning around, Lu Ming said to Duan Kun: "Forget about this, that woman seems to have a problem again." "Oh, alright." Duan Kun turned his head to look at the woman, only to see that the woman who had been unable to struggle before began to move her hands again. Not daring to be careless at all, Duan Kun quickly pressed the woman's hands. But as soon as he pressed the woman's double means, Kun found that it seemed difficult for him to fight alone. Fortunately, Lu Ming had quick eyesight and quick hands, and rushed up to help Duan Kun hold him down. Although the remaining employee was a little scared, he still joined them. Not long after, the woman struggled harder and harder, and it was quite difficult for Lu Ming and the others to hold her down. The veins on Duan Kun's forehead popped up, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not an option to go on like this, we have to call for support." Of course Lu Ming understands this, but he has heard the conversation between Jiang Cailing and Zhang Haoran before. In the current situation, it is already good to be able to maintain the status quo. If he wants to support, it may not be that simple. Without telling the situation, Lu Ming began to think of ways in his mind while holding the woman down hard. Unfortunately, it seems that my shadow can only bind one person. Looking at the tied up employees, Lu Ming felt a little helpless. If he let his shadow bind the woman at this time, it would undoubtedly be an act of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and it would not change the status quo at all. Taking the time to take a look at Hawkeye, he wanted to see what Hawkeye could do, and also to confirm Hawkeye's situation. But at a glance, Lu Ming couldn't believe it. He saw that beside Hawkeye, crimson was quietly spreading in the eyes of a special affairs officer. In an instant, Lu Ming realized that Jing?Contamination has begun to spread. Although I don't know how, but judging from the current situation, Hailiang's supervisors are the first batch, and the employees who went crazy in the company after that are the second batch, and the people who subdued these employees belong to the third batch. There will be another batch coming down! Glancing anxiously at Hawkeye, Lu Ming had a premonition that it would not be long before everyone here would be infected. At that time, this place will become a purgatory on earth! ! ! what to do? Lu Ming asked himself in his heart, but after considering all the situations, he found that there seemed to be no way for him now. Judging from the current situation, there is no need to take too long a perspective. Whether it is the employees here or the staff of the special affairs department, including myself and the captain, they will all be polluted. We must find a way to change the current situation! While meditating in his heart, Lu Ming's eyes scanned the company, and then he saw a shadow, which was someone else's shadow. Alas, if only it could be used like my own shadow. This thought came to mind, and the next moment Lu Ming was surprised to find that the shadow was actually moving! That's right, under Lu Ming's thoughts, the shadow "swimmed" towards Lu Ming slowly, and as the distance between the shadow and Lu Ming got closer, he suddenly realized that the shadow seemed to be passed on to him. a feeling. It was an indescribable feeling, as if it was familiar with a little kindness. Can I control it by myself? Before he had time to think about it, Lu Ming pointed directly at a polluted person and said, "Go and tie him up." Originally, it was just an attempt, but to Lu Ming's surprise, his words actually worked. Just like binding other people, that shadow also turned into a black rope, binding the polluted person firmly. Now Lu Ming understands that his ability is not limited to his shadow, but he can use all shadows. Then it's easy to handle now. Having made up his mind, Lu Ming yelled lightly: "Come out!" Amid Lu Ming's soft shout, the shadows of everyone in the room emerged, whether they were visible before or invisible at all, they all appeared now. These shadows approached Lu Ming slowly, and finally stopped two meters away from Lu Ming. Looking at their uniform movements, they seemed to be worshiping an emperor. That's right, Lu Ming at this moment is the master of all shadows, a shadow master who has never appeared before Volume Four: Chapter 44: White Gloves Dense shadows appeared indoors, which also attracted the attention of some people. After Eagle Eye saw this scene, he looked towards Lu Ming in surprise. "Tie them up." The order was issued again, and all the shadows quickly turned into ropes, binding all the polluted people present, and there were even many extra shadows. Many people looked at the polluted people they controlled, and they didn't understand where these black ropes came from for a while. Some people tried to let go, and when they found that the polluted person could not move at all, the whole company suddenly exploded. "Where did this rope come from?" "I don't know, I just found out." "what is going on?" "" Some people who knew the inside story looked at Lu Ming in surprise. Although they knew that the scene in front of them was written by Lu Ming, they hardly knew what was going on. Hawkeye was the one who understood the most in his heart among all the people present, but such a shocking scene also had a big impact on him. His ability can still be used like this? Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Hawkeye let go of his hand and came to Lu Ming's side. Without praising Lu Ming immediately, Hawkeye asked, "Are you okay now?" "I'm okay." Hawkeye was worried that Lu Ming was forcibly using his abilities, which might leave sequelae. "Well, that's fine." Looking back at the scene in the room, Hawkeye clapped his hands and said: "Everyone listen to me, all the crazy people have been tied up, now in pairs, send these people downstairs. After sending them down , the employees here can evacuate first, and the people from the special affairs department stay and wait for instructions." Although Hawkeye was not wearing the uniform of the Special Affairs Department, after a brief silence, the crowd began to move in an orderly manner. Looking back at Lu Ming, Hawkeye said, "Come with me." With that said, Hawkeye walked out of the company. As soon as he left the company's gate, Hawkeye asked, "Can you still use your ability?" After thinking about the previous situation, Lu Ming replied: "It should be okay." "Okay, that's it now. I'll inform the section chief and director Jiang, and see if I can find a solution to the pollution. You, go to another company, use your ability to control the polluted person, and follow what I said before." Yes, tell them to send the man downstairs." "I see." Without another word, Hawkeye left in a hurry. Lu Ming watched his leaving back, and also moved. After doing the same thing a few times, all the polluted people on this floor were brought under control. Although there were new polluted people during the period, after they met Lu Ming, the ending was already doomed. After completing the task assigned by Hawkeye, Lu Ming found that he seemed to be much more familiar with his abilities than before. But when I think about it in retrospect, it is perfectly normal to gain a deeper understanding of abilities when they are used so frequently. However, to Lu Ming's surprise, these shadows seem to be very clear about their own thoughts, and they will tie up the polluted person by themselves after an order is given. Not only that, the whole process is precise and fast, without disturbing others at all. Walking out of the last company, many people looked at Lu Ming differently. But Lu Ming didn't care about these things. He watched the polluted person being escorted downstairs with a very calm expression. After watching for a while and helping to tie up a few new polluted people, Lu Ming realized that he seemed to be the only one left on the whole floor. Then do you want to go to other places to have a look? Just when he was struggling, Hawkeye reported what happened to Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. When he heard that Lu Ming used his own ability to control everyone, Jiang Cailing was a little surprised, while Zhang Haoran had a strange expression on his face. Without commenting on this matter, Zhang Haoran explained the situation on other floors. Only then did Hawkeye realize that besides the seventh floor, there were also many polluted people on other floors. Fortunately, compared with the seventh floor, the number was still far behind. The follow-up support from the Special Affairs Division, coupled with the assistance of the City Defense Army, finally temporarily stabilized the situation. Of course, this is also because there has not been multiple transmissions of infection. It stands to reason that there are signs of widespread transmission on the seventh floor, and the other floors should be the same. However, the logic of spiritual pollution cannot simply be based on the point of human-to-human transmission, so the three of them are also puzzled by this phenomenon. After summarizing the current situation, Zhang Haoran received the news that all the people on the seventh floor had evacuated, so he said: "All the people on the seventh floor have been evacuated, and now there are still some people on other floorsThere is a retreat, but this is already great news. " Jiang Cailing nodded, and she said: "The three departments cooperate, and it won't take long for the remaining personnel to be evacuated. I will go to the scene to direct." "Okay, then you have to be careful." Without answering, Jiang Cailing walked away in a hurry, leaving only Hawkeye and Zhang Haoran for a while. After a short thought, Hawkeye said, "I want to go back to the seventh floor." Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Do you want to find the source of the pollution?" "Yes," Hawkeye replied, and then continued: "When the polluted person first appeared, I found that the company he worked in was a bit unusual. Considering the current situation, the seventh floor is different from other floors. So I think that the key point of possible mental pollution is still there." Zhang Haoran understood what Hawkeye meant, and he said, "Be careful yourself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran also left. Seeing Zhang Haoran leave, Hawkeye immediately walked towards the seventh floor. Returning to the seventh floor, the corridors are full of various sundries, some of which were dropped when moving things, and some were lost while escorting the polluted people. Stepping on the messy things, Hawkeye slowly came to the original company, which was the company where Hai Liang worked. Because he was in a hurry, Hawkeye saw that the lock of the company's main door was still on the ground, and the door was also half closed. Pushing open the door of the company, Hawkeye walked in. Compared with when he came here, the company has not changed much, but for Hawkeye, those residual spiritual powers still exist. After thinking about it, Hawkeye decided to walk behind that desk. Here, the residual amount of spiritual power is undoubtedly the strongest in all places. After opening the medal, Hawkeye carefully checked the situation. After observing around, Hawkeye did not find any new clues. Just when Hawkeye was going to look elsewhere, he found that there was also spiritual power left in the drawer of the desk. Originally, he didn't intend to do anything, but Hawkeye reached out and opened the drawer anyway. The moment the drawer was opened, the strong mental power began to radiate. According to Hawkeye's perception, the magnitude of the mental power has surpassed anywhere in the room. What's in it? Frowning, Hawkeye looked into the drawer, and in a pile of sundries, Hawkeye saw something. A pair of white gloves sealed in a plastic bag Volume 45 Chapter 45: Finished However, in Hawkeye's sight, the spiritual power exuded by this pair of white gloves is not inferior to any spiritually mutated items he has seen. In an instant, Hawkeye understood why the spiritual power in the drawer was so exaggerated. Picking up the plastic bag, Hawkeye found that the gloves had obvious signs of use, but the owner of the gloves obviously took good care of the gloves. There was no stain on the gloves, just like new ones. This shows that the owner of the glove seems to care about the glove. Taking out the gloves from the plastic bag, the strong mental power instantly began to spread around. Others couldn't perceive anything yet, but in Hawkeye's world, from the moment he took out the gloves, mental power began to wreak havoc in the air. More precisely, the current situation of the entire company is like a drop of ink dripping into clear water. However, this ink is now mental power. After thinking about it for a while, Hawkeye realized that these gloves might not be that simple. Ever since, Hawkeye called Zhang Haoran. "Hey section chief, I have found something here, and now I need a containment box." "Okay, I see, I'll arrange it right away." Soon, two members of the special affairs department appeared at the door of the company holding a blue containment box. "here." Waving to the Special Affairs Officer, Hawkeye handed over the plastic bag containing the gloves. "Be careful when saving." The two special affairs officers nodded and left with the containment box in their arms. After continuing to search for a while, Hawkeye found no other abnormalities. Leaving the company, Hawkeye checked the seventh floor carefully. After seeing that there was no one, he walked downstairs with peace of mind. As soon as he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Hawkeye saw Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing. Walking in front of Zhang Haoran, Hawkeye asked, "Section Chief, how is the situation now?" Zhang Haoran looked a little better at this time, and he replied: "The personnel have basically evacuated, and there are still about dozens of people who have not evacuated. This is the last batch." "What about those polluted?" Hearing this question, Jiang Cailing on the side said: "The Special Affairs Department can't accommodate so many people. I applied with the higher-ups and planned to find a place to build a temporary shelter." The reason for building a temporary shelter is that there are too many polluted people and the Special Affairs Division can no longer afford it; secondly, since the Special Affairs Division has the ability, it will not make such a choice. At present, the logic of pollution transmission has not been understood, and whether new problems will arise if the polluted people are gathered together, this also needs to be considered. In particular, collective mental pollution incidents are quite special, and the Special Affairs Division still lacks experience in handling them. Looking around the hall, Hawkeye always felt that he had forgotten something. After he saw the special affairs staff coming in and out, he finally remembered that he didn't seem to see Lu Ming. Therefore, Hawkeye asked Zhang Haoran, "Where's Lu Ming?" Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then said: "He, he should be helping the last group of people to evacuate. According to the time calculation, it should be almost the same now." Before Hawkeye could open his mouth, Zhang Haoran continued: "Because of Lu Ming, the evacuation of other floors is much faster. From now on, this intrusion incident has not caused much impact, and Lu Ming accounted for at least half of it. Credit." Looking at the stairs, Zhang Haoran added: "To be honest, I'm a little surprised." Hawkeye knew that the accident in Zhang Haoran's mouth had more than one meaning, but he didn't ask any further questions. After waiting in the hall for a few minutes, a large number of special affairs personnel came out carrying stretchers, and the eyes of the three were also attracted by this scene. On the stretcher, the crimson color in the eyes of a large number of polluted people has not faded, but they have lost the ability to struggle now, so it is relatively easy to transport them. Watching the staff of the Special Affairs Department walk out of the gate, Hawkeye found Lu Ming at the end of the line, and Lu Ming also saw Hawkeye. "team leader." Walking quickly towards Hawkeye, Lu Ming stopped in front of the three of them. Patting Lu Ming on the shoulder, Hawkeye smiled and said, "Yes, you did a good job this time." Smiling shyly, Lu Ming didn't say anything. Seeing his appearance, Hawkeye said again: "I thought I could give you a lesson this time, teaching you how to use keywords to deal with intrusion incidents, but I never thought that this time I almost capsized in the gutter. You kid is here, otherwise it will be hard to say later." Lu Ming thought that Hawkeye was being modest, so he just smiled, but Zhang Haoran understood that what Hawkeye said was sincere. According to the ability of the medal, Hawkeye's ability is actually not bad, but in the face of large-scale spiritual pollution incidents, Hawkeye's ability can't have much effect, let alone Lu MingThis is the key. Stepping forward with a smile, Zhang Haoran said, "Have you bought a mobile phone yet?" Suddenly being asked this question, Lu Ming didn't react at first, and then he said "hmm". Zhang Haoran seemed to understand something, he smiled and asked: "Why didn't you buy it?" Lu Ming touched his head and said embarrassedly: "No I have no money to buy it." Zhang Haoran smiled and said, "Because I didn't get paid this month, right?" "Uhum." it is as expected. After understanding the situation, Zhang Haoran said again: "Although the salary will have to wait until next month, but in view of your excellent performance in this invasion incident, I can consider paying you now." Upon hearing Zhang Haoran say this, Lu Ming excitedly said: "Really?" Seeing his excitement, Jiang Cailing laughed beside him: "I heard from your section chief that the salary of your special affairs department is paid uniformly, but there is no such thing as paying in advance." I wanted to ask if this was true, but seeing Eagle Eye nodding cheerfully towards himself, Lu Ming immediately froze like a frosted eggplant. "That's itthat's fine." Seeing his appearance, the three of them all laughed. After coughing twice, Zhang Haoran said with a smile on his face: "It is true that there is no precedent for paying salary in advance, but considering your performance this time, a bonus must be indispensable, and this bonus" "I will send it to you when the matter is finished." Unexpectedly, things turned around suddenly, and Lu Ming's eyes widened all of a sudden. After a brief moment of excitement, Lu Ming said, "Thank you, section chief!" Waving his hand, Zhang Haoran said: "There is nothing to thank, you deserve it." Hearing what he said, Lu Ming felt relieved. When he was receiving Jiang Cailing's compulsory education, he knew that money is very important in the city. With money, at least he will not face the dilemma of not being able to afford a mobile phone now. "When the bonus comes out, I'll take you to buy a mobile phone. I'm afraid that you will be slaughtered yourself. If you say it, the iron bucket will probably laugh so hard that you can't eat for a few days." Hawkeye made a joke on the side, which made Zhang Haoran and Jiang Cailing laugh out loud. At this moment, a member of the special affairs department came over and said: "Section Chief, the scene has been dealt with. All personnel have been evacuated. We checked and found no personnel stranded." "Okay, arrange personnel to watch the entrance and exit of the building, and don't let any random people in and out." "yes." The staff member of the special affairs department turned and left, Zhang Haoran said to several people: "Okay, now the intrusion incident has been dealt with in stages, let's go back to the special affairs department.? Main Text Volume Chapter 46 Summary Three days later, in the meeting room of the Special Affairs Department. After the last intrusion incident, the report on the incident finally came out. After glancing at the people attending the meeting, Zhang Haoran said indifferently: "Everyone is here, then I'll start." "First of all, let me talk about the conclusion of this intrusion incident." "This is a relatively rare and large-scale collective mental pollution incident, and the source of the pollution is this person." Having said that, Zhang Haoran picked up the remote control and pressed it on the projector, a photo and information of a middle-aged man appeared on the screen. It's a pity that Lu Ming is not here, otherwise he would have recognized this middle-aged man at first sight as Hai Liang's supervisor. "The source of pollution this time is this man named Sun Wen. To be precise, he is a second-level intruder. According to our investigation, this man named Sun Wen died six years ago because of his wife's accidental death. depression." "And after his wife passed away, his strong yearning caused his own mental mutation. Sun Wen himself was a cleanliness patient, and so was his wife. In later life, Sun Wen's cleanliness was caused by his wife His death became unmanageable." "In this case, he pinned all his thoughts on his wife on this pair of hoods." The screen on the curtain turned, and a pair of sealed white gloves appeared in front of everyone. And this pair of white gloves is exactly the pair of gloves Hawkeye found in the office. Zhang Haoran continued: "This pair of gloves was originally given to Sun Wen by Sun Wen's wife when they were in love. Because of their commemorative significance, Sun Wen has been keeping them carefully and rarely used them." "But after his wife passed away, these gloves were completely different for Sun Wen. The strong missing emotion made him miss his wife every day when he was working in the company. So, he brought these gloves to the company. " "And that's how it all started." "After Sun Wen brought the gloves to the company, his spirit was silently influencing the gloves. According to the research of the Research Department, over time, under the influence of Sun Wen, the gloves absorbed Sun Wen's different Changed spiritual power." "In the long run, these gloves have created an invisible spiritual force field, and this force field itself will not cause much damage to the surroundings. But the problem is that Sun Wen himself has mental abnormalities, and he is even more of a clean freak. patient." "Therefore, this invisible mental force field also has the characteristics of Sun Wen. If a cleanser patient enters this force field, he will feel a strong sense of discomfort, and his cleansing disorder will also be amplified by the force field." "In the early days, the force field did not affect Sun Wen, on the one hand, because Sun Wen himself had mutated, and on the other hand, the force field was born because of gloves, and the gloves have a little connection with Sun Wen, if If you want to interfere with Sun Wen, you need to accumulate more spiritual power." Stopping to take a sip of water, Zhang Haoran cleared his throat, and continued: "The reason why this force field caused the invasion a few days ago is actually very simple. One is that the force field has accumulated enough spiritual power to affect ordinary people. People's thinking, and the second reason is that the time of day is quite special, it happens to be the death day of Sun Wen's wife, based on these two points, this invasion happened." As soon as Zhang Haoran said these words, many people in the conference room nodded. A member of the special affairs department who participated in the meeting nodded and said to Zhang Haoran: "Then it can be explained now, why in this intrusion incident, many people would scratch their faces and shout dirty, etc. .¡± "Yes," Zhang Haoran continued, glancing at the other party approvingly: "Under the influence of the force field, the symptoms of the cleanliness patients will be infinitely magnified, eventually causing them to lose their self-judgment ability and become what we see. " "This batch of cleanliness patients belonged to the first batch of polluted persons. After investigation of the second and third batches of polluted persons, many of them did not have cleanliness disorder, but the reason why they were also affected by the force field was actually a complication. situation. However, among this group of people, some have relatively mild cleanliness, and some are hidden cleanliness patients." "To sum up, this is an invasion incident caused by cleanliness." Hearing this, no one answered in the conference room. After a brief silence, Zhang Haoran said again: "At present, all the polluted people are awake. At present, it seems that they do not have the possibility of secondary transmission, but to be on the safe side, they need to observe and isolate for a period of time." Having said that, Zhang Haoran said to a person at the conference table: "Lu Jie, the handling team's aftermath work is almost finished. When the polluted people are quarantined, your side will remain the same and send me the incident report." The person known as Lu Jie nodded and replied: "I see." "It's almost like this. The handling of this intrusion incident is basically completed. Do you have any other questions?" Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhang Haoran said: "That's it, let's go to our own business, the meeting is over." Sitting on a chair and watching everyone get up and leave, Zhang Haoran rubbed his temples. After everyone left, he saw that Jiang Cailing beside him hadn't left. "Anything else?" ? He tilted his head and asked Jiang Cailing, Zhang Haoran was puzzled. Jiang Cailing opened her red lips lightly, and said, "I think there are two things that were not handled properly in this incident." Hearing what Jiang Cailing said, Hawkeye said seriously, "Say it." "First, I still feel that we have taken things too lightly in this incident." "Rushing in without knowing the scene led to further deterioration of the situation. Many people from the Special Affairs Division and the Marketing Office were polluted in this incident. This is your fault, and it is also my fault." Zhang Haoran pondered for a while, and then said: "The Special Affairs Department has some protective equipment, which could have been used in this incident, but the time is still too fast, and there is no time for the anesthesia gun to be useful, let alone these. " "In addition, I actually felt that the situation was a bit out of control at that time. To be on the safe side, I contacted the higher-ups. At that time, I applied to the higher-ups. If the situation really turned into the worst situation, then I will mobilize desire to do the final finishing work." Unexpectedly, Zhang Haoran would still keep this move, Jiang Cailing gave him a surprised look, but after thinking about it, Jiang Cailing could understand Zhang Haoran's mood at that time. Without entanglement on this point, Jiang Cailing continued: "The second problem is that whether it is the Municipal Affairs Office or the Special Affairs Department, we still lack experience in dealing with collective spiritual pollution." Zhang Haoran also understands this problem, and he said: "The previous cases are of little reference value, so it is normal that it is difficult to deal with such problems. Fortunately, this incident is also a valuable experience. Afterwards, I asked the evaluation team to go deep Let¡¯s dig and see if we can take this case as a model.¡± "Well," Jiang Cailing nodded, and said again: "I have one last question." Unexpectedly, Jiang Cailing still had problems, Zhang Haoran was surprised and said: "Anything else? Then tell me." "Should you consider keeping Lu Ming's identity secret?" Zhang Haoran was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean?" "He should have his own code name. ? Volume 47: Code Name: Shadow Hearing this, Zhang Haoran was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked, "Do you have an idea?" Rolling her eyes at Zhang Haoran, Jiang Cailing continued: "It's your special affairs department's job to replace Lu Ming, what can I think?" After pondering for a moment, Zhang Haoran said: "About Lu Ming's code name, I was actually thinking about it before, but firstly, his ability was not mature enough at that time, and secondly, I really didn't think deeply about this point. This invasion His performance in the incident was outstanding, and his use of abilities has improved a lot, what do you think of his code name?" Jiang Cailing chuckled, and then gave Zhang Haoran a weird look. "I said Chief Zhang, isn't the code name of the medal holder determined by the Special Affairs Department? There are many previous examples. You can refer to it. Why ask me, an outsider." Jiang Cailing stretched her waist, her body outlined Miaoman's curves, Zhang Haoran glanced at it, then coughed and looked away. Bowing his head in a pensive state, Zhang Haoran continued: "You are not an outsider to the Special Affairs Department, so you can share your opinions if you have any." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haoran picked up the water glass and took a sip. Jiang Cailing asked curiously on the side: "Really?" "of course it's true." "Well, did I look good just now?" "Okayahem" "Don't pretend, next time you act like it, we've known each other for a few years, I still don't know you?" After laughing a few times to cover up his embarrassment, Zhang Haoran silently picked up the water glass and took another big sip. Jiang Cailing looked at his deflated appearance, chuckled lightly and said, "Your special affairs department will decide on the matter of your special affairs department. If you ask me, I will not express my opinion. Well, I'll go first, I still have things to do .¡± Looking at Jiang Cailing suspiciously, Zhang Haoran said: "The matter has been dealt with, is there a new task at your marketing office?" Jiang Cailing replied while packing her things: "Temporary mission." "What task?" Asked subconsciously, Zhang Haoran took another sip from the water glass. "shop." "Pfft¡ª¡ª" Hearing this answer, Zhang Haoran, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spit it out. "What kind of temporary mission is this?" Putting on women's sunglasses, Jiang Cailing flicked her bangs back, and then said, "Don't you know that the biggest task of a woman is to go shopping?" After finishing speaking, Jiang Cailing left the conference room with a comfortable pace, leaving only Zhang Haoran who stayed where he was. Looking at the door of the conference room, Zhang Haoran shook his head helplessly: "Women are really scary." Getting up to pack his things, Zhang Haoran couldn't help but think of Lu Ming's code name. After having some preliminary thoughts in his mind, he closed the door of the meeting room and walked towards his office As usual, Lu Ming is still reading at home today. Since he came to Qingshui City these days, reading has become his most important hobby. Because of frequent trips to the library, all the library staff knew him. Among them was a young single female staff who even asked Lu Ming if he had a girlfriend. After Lu Ming answered no, the other party expressed that he wanted to exchange phone numbers with him to facilitate further in-depth communication. But Lu Ming refused, not because he didn't have a mobile phone, but because he couldn't understand the other party's thoughts. Yes, after so many days in Qingshui City, Lu Ming finally has a mobile phone. In fact, Lu Ming received the bonus the day after he left Tiandi Center. The Special Affairs Department gave a lot, a full 50,000 yuan, and put it outside. This is the salary that ordinary company employees can only get after working for one or two years. Accompanied by Hawkeye, Lu Ming bought his first mobile phone, and he didn't know what to do with the remaining money, so he saved it. Of course, the mobile phone was bought for use, and Lu Ming naturally saved a lot of phones, including those of other members of the team and Zhang Haoran. However, Lu Ming doesn't like mobile phones very much. When he reads, he always puts his mobile phone next to him, and this time is no exception. Gently turning a page, the crisp sound of paper rang in the living room, but Lu Ming's cell phone rang the next moment. Glancing at the location of the phone, Lu Ming walked over to pick up the phone, seeing that it was Zhang Haoran calling, he quickly picked up the phone. "Hey, section chief, what's the matter?" "I do have something to ask you, come to my office and talk to me face to face." "good." ? Hang up the phone, Lu Ming immediatelyclosed the door. Ten minutes later, Lu Ming came to the door of Zhang Haoran's office, knocked on the door twice, and Zhang Haoran's voice came from inside. "come in." Pushing open the door, Zhang Haoran pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit first." Seeing Lu Ming take his seat, Zhang Haoran picked up a document on the table and handed it to him. "Let's take a look first, this is information about you." Not understanding what Zhang Haoran meant, Lu Ming opened the file suspiciously. Name: Lu Ming Age: 18 code name: no Ability Rating: B- Medal: None (Remarks: Those without medal ability) ?Resume: Participated in the Fang Xianzhu, Zhao Dahai case, and the handling of the invasion incident 0-493. Evaluation: Good After reading all the documents in his hand, Lu Ming raised his head and asked in doubt: "Section Chief, is this my information?" "Yes," Zhang Haoran continued with his hands crossed in front of him with a smile, "This is your information, and all your resumes in Qingshui City will be recorded on it. standards." "Then you come to me today" Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Zhang Haoran interrupted him: "I want you to read this information to understand your current situation, but this is not the main purpose of my asking you to come here today. The main purpose is here." Having said that, Zhang Haoran took the document in Lu Ming's hand, then turned the document to Lu Ming, and put his finger on the "code name". Without waiting for Lu Ming to speak, Zhang Haoran continued: "You should know that medal holders have their own code names. To a large extent, this is due to the need for confidentiality work. Code names can facilitate you to perform tasks. It protects your safety to a certain extent. Besides you, everyone in your team has their own code name, do you understand what I mean now?" "So, section chief, what do you mean, you want to give me a code name?" Zhang Haoran nodded, and then said: "Everyone's code name in your team is reported to me after discussion by the Special Affairs Division, and then I will give instructions, and usually I will pass it. I originally planned this time as well, but after thinking about it carefully After thinking about it, I plan to unilaterally determine your code name, and I came here today for this matter." "If you have any objection to the code name I determined, then the Special Affairs Division will discuss it again. If there is no objection, then it will be confirmed. What do you think?" Barely thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I have no objection." "Okay, then your code name is¡ª¡ª" Looking behind Lu Ming, Zhang Haoran squinted, with a faint smile on his face. "Shadow. Text Chapter 48: Caf¨¦ Conversation Lu Ming's code name was determined in this way, but his life did not change because of it. Except for reading, he basically stayed at home and waited for the next task. However, during this period of time, Lu Ming also learned to drop by. Since he was most familiar with Hawkeye, he often went to Hawkeye's house as a guest. But today there was a sudden heavy rain, so Lu Ming gave up his plan to visit, put down the book in his hand, Lu Ming looked up at the rain outside the window, then lowered his head to focus on the book. At the same time, in the command room of the Special Affairs Division, Zhang Haoran looked away from the big screen. Standing up, he took the umbrella beside him and walked out of the command room. Standing at the door of the command room, Zhang Haoran looked up at the gloomy sky, then he opened his umbrella and walked steadily, his figure gradually drifting away. A staff member in the command room watched Zhang Haoran leave, pushed the person beside him, and then said: "It's raining so hard, where is Zhang Ke going?" The man next to him was a little older. He glanced at the direction of the gate, and then said in an educational tone: "You don't care where the section chief goes, just do your own thing with peace of mind, don't overthink it." "Yes Yes Yes." No more talking, the two continued to work. Of course Zhang Haoran, who had already left the Special Affairs Department, was unaware of this scene. At this time, he was walking on the street in the rain, and this street was the street in front of the Special Affairs Department. Walking all the way through the stagnant water, Zhang Haoran's pace is not fast, and occasionally his eyes will stay on the billboards on the side of the road. Just walking unhurriedly like this, after spending nearly an hour, Zhang Haoran finally arrived at his destination. A cafe. This cafe looks very old, and the mottled paint marks on the wooden door sign fully illustrate this point. Pushing open the door of the cafe, Zhang Haoran walked in. Putting down the umbrella in his hand, Zhang Haoran looked indoors. At a table by the window, a man in a white suit was sitting on a chair with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. "Is there something wrong with coming here suddenly?" Putting down the coffee casually, the man in the suit looked at Zhang Haoran. Just by scanning the sharp-edged face of the other party, Zhang Haoran felt that there was something strange about his body. Hastily lowering his head, he calmly said: "It's nothing, I just came to see you." "oh?" The man in the suit glanced at Zhang Haoran with a slight smile on his face. "This is really strange. I didn't expect Section Chief Zhang to come to see me. Why, do you think I'm about to become an empty-nest old man?" This is the style of desire. Sighing inwardly, Zhang Haoran walked to the side of the man in the suit, that is, Lust. Pulling out the chair, Zhang Haoran sat down, but instead of looking at desire, he cast his gaze out of the window. Sipping his coffee, Luan watched the rainwater slowly dripping from the window, and then said lightly, "Is it because of the invasion incident a few days ago?" Zhang Haoran didn't deny it, he replied slowly: "It's only part of it." Without any surprise on his face, Lust continued: "I heard that this incident is quite a big mess. Well, but I didn't have the chance to play, so I didn't pay close attention." Zhang Haoran looked sideways slightly, and then said: "Actually, I applied to the higher-ups at the time. If the situation is bad, I will hand it over to you in the end." With a chuckle, Lulu said: "Then it's quite interesting." After tidying up his tie, Desire continued: "But since I haven't been notified, the intrusion incident should have been dealt with. Let me guess, who has such ability?" With one hand resting on his chin, the other tapped lightly on the coffee cup, with a playful smile on Lust's face. "Hawkeye? No, his ability is not enough to deal with this kind of incident. That little girl? I don't think so. Although I don't know much about the abilities of the remaining two people, they obviously can't be them." "So," turning his head to look at Zhang Haoran, the smile on his desire face grew wider: "It must be the newcomer." Without looking back at the other party, Zhang Haoran nodded slightly as he watched the rain gradually recede. "You guessed right." "So speaking of it, the Special Affairs Section has picked up a treasure. Should I congratulate Section Chief Zhang?" Having said that, Xixiu smiled and blinked at Zhang Haoran. Of course, Zhang Haoran did not see this scene. Sighing, Zhang Haoran said helplessly: "Desire, since you entered the Special Affairs Department, you seem to have always been like this." The smile on the face does not diminish, the desire stands upHe took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his hands, and said: "There are always too many changes in the environment, and there are always too few changes in people. Every era develops like this." , I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Zhang Haoran frowned after hearing this, and then took out a cigar and lit it. Seeing the desire, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the window in front of him. Looking at the people passing by with umbrellas on the street, he smiled and said, "In this weather, it's really suitable to have a cup of coffee and enjoy life." Breathing a puff of smoke out of the window, Zhang Haoran said, "Is this why you came to Qingshui City?" "Otherwise? I don't think that living a leisurely life in the city is a crime. If you don't agree with this, Section Chief, you can roast me now. I declare in advance that I will not resist." Putting the cigar in his hand, Zhang Haoran quickly turned his head to look at Xixi, then he continued to look out the window and said, "What did you say to Lu Ming last time?" Hearing this, the smile on Lu Xun's face gradually faded. He picked up the coffee cup and said, "Didn't you ask me before? I just thought he was very interesting, so I asked a few questions." "Is it really just like that?" "Otherwise, is there any other problem? First, I didn't hurt him, and second, I didn't ask him about the Special Affairs Department. Section Chief, do you have to be so nervous?" Looking back suspiciously at desire, Zhang Haoran's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. With a cigar in his mouth, Zhang Haoran picked up his umbrella and planned to leave. The moment he was about to step out of the cafe, Zhang Haoran suddenly stopped and said, "I don't know anything about your previous affairs, but since you are in the Special Affairs Department, I hope you can integrate into it." After speaking, he opened the umbrella, Zhang Haoran's back disappeared in the pattering rain. Desire watched Zhang Haoran leave, with a strange expression on his face. Putting the coffee on the table, he turned to look at the wall of the cafe. On the walls of the cafe, there are many paintings, some of which look full of age, while others are meaningless graffiti, and I don¡¯t know why they are hung on them. But these paintings are not the focus of desire's sight. In the center of the wall, an unremarkable photo is pasted on the wall. Looking at the immature baby's face in the photo, desire's expression begins to become interesting. "Yeah, who would have thought it was you ? Text Chapter Forty-ninth Wildfire Village Mutation In the next few days, Qingshui City has been very calm, and the impact of the last invasion is slowly fading, and it seems that everything has returned to its previous appearance. As usual, Zhang Haoran is still sitting in the command room. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and in two hours, this ordinary day will be over again. While sorting out the materials in his hand, Zhang Haoran suddenly heard someone calling him. "Section Chief, there seems to be something wrong." Turning his head to look at the direction from which the voice came from, Zhang Haoran asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoye?" The staff member named Xiaoye glanced at his computer, and then replied: "There seems to be something wrong with a settlement. They haven't sent us a message for a week." After hearing this, Zhang Haoran didn't say a word. He frowned and came to Xiaoye's side, and asked, "Which settlement is it?" Looking at the computer screen, Zhang Haoran saw a small red dot with the words "Wildfire Village" marked beside it. "Wildfire Village hasn't contacted us for a week?" "Yes, but it's strange. Several other settlements have sent messages. Why didn't Yehuo Village only send messages? Could it be that they forgot?" There are many settlements around Qingshui City, and Qingshui City has connections with them. These settlements will send messages to Qingshui City every three days or so, which can be regarded as confirmation. But who knows, this time the settlement called Wildfire Village has not responded for a week. Is this an accident? Or did the other party forget? Having a bad premonition in his heart, Zhang Haoran asked: "Did you just find out, Xiaoye?" "Well, I was busy processing the data of the last intrusion some time ago, so I didn't have time to read it. I just discovered this problem after sorting out the data." After speaking, Xiaoye scratched his head in embarrassment. It has always been responsible for the monitoring work of the settlement. No matter what the reasons are, the current situation is his work error. Instead of scolding the other party, Zhang Haoran stared at the screen tightly, thinking about what was going on in this settlement. However, before he thought about it for a long time, someone suddenly stood up in the command room, and said to Zhang Haoran, "Section Chief, the city defense army called, and they said they want you to go there, it's at the west gate. " "okay, I get it." City defense army? What do they want to do with themselves? Suppressing the confusion in his heart, Zhang Haoran walked out the door. Driving to the west gate of Qingshui City, Zhang Haoran saw several soldiers waiting for him from afar. After stopping the car, Zhang Haoran walked towards the other party. "Hello, Chief Zhang." After the leading soldier saluted Zhang Haoran, he continued to speak: "I am the captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Patrol Team of the City Defense Army, Zhao Fan." After shaking hands with the other party, Zhang Haoran asked: "Captain Zhao, what do you want from me?" Zhao Fan didn't talk nonsense. After gesturing to the soldiers under him, several soldiers hurried to the troop carrier in the distance. After tossing and turning on the carriage, several people quickly came to Zhang Haoran carrying a stretcher. Looking at the unconscious middle-aged man on the stretcher, Zhang Haoran asked doubtfully, "This is it?" Zhao Fan explained: "The name of this person is not known yet, but he himself said that he is a treasure hunter." So-called treasure hunters, they refer to a certain group of people. Before the arrival of the other side, human beings possessed many precious works of art. With the occurrence of disasters, many precious works of art were buried underground or in ruins. After the disaster and the reconstruction of civilization, many businessmen attach great importance to these works of art, and often pay high prices for them. People make money and birds die for food. Under the instigation of merchants, a large number of explorers who look for artworks for resale have also spawned. For such people, people call them treasure hunters. Because most works of art are lost in the wild, treasure hunters take considerable risk each time they go, but the rewards can be huge if they do succeed. So, in today's world, being a treasure hunter is a special kind of profession. All major forces and organizations have treasure hunters, but Qingshui City is special, so there are not many people who make a living from treasure hunting. Looking at the face of the middle-aged man, Zhang Haoran pondered: "A treasure hunter? What's going on with him now?" Zhao Fan said: "According to his description, when he returned to Qingshui City from the wilderness today, he reported to us when he entered the city that he found something abnormal in Wildfire Village. I asked him to describe what happened in Wildfire Village. Talking and talking and then passed out." Abnormal? Passed out? Reminiscent of the fact that in the command room, Xiaoye told herself that Yehuo Village had not been contacted for a week. Combined with the current situation, Zhang Haoran realized that something really happened to Yehuo Village.?. Thinking of this, Zhang Haoran said anxiously: "What did he say, please repeat it to me." After recalling for a while, Zhao Fan said: "He said that he had finished eating his dry food in the wilderness, and he had been hungry for two days. After Yehuo Village, he found that the whole village was silent, and there was no one there, so he called out a few times, and when no one answered, he opened the door of a house." "I didn't expect that after opening the door, the family's corpses fell in disorder at the door, and the ground was covered with blood. He ran away in fright. After wandering around for a while, he pushed open the door of another villager's house, and the result was another All the members of the family also died. Later, he opened all the houses in the village and checked, and he found that everyone in the village had died, from infants a few months old to elderly people in their 70s and 80s. The whole village was spared." "What's even more bizarre is that he said that the livestock raised by the villagers were all dead. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he saw it, and he didn't dare to stay in the village. He ran out of the village as hard as he could, saying that there was still food on the side of the road. Saw the skeleton." "He fainted when he talked about it, so that's all I know." With an incredulous expression on his face, Zhang Haoran said in surprise: "You mean, all the people in Yehuo Village are dead?" "Yes, he told me personally." Having glanced at the treasure hunter on the stretcher, Zhang Haoran now understood why Yehuo Village did not contact Qingshui City for seven days. Wildfire Village is already a dead village. And this time, if it wasn't for this treasure hunter, then no one would know the situation of Yehuo Village. Even if a team is sent to inquire about the news, it will be at least a day after the team returns. But then again, the villagers of Yehuo Village are all dead, so what is the reason? With a wave of his hand, Zhang Haoran said to Zhao Fan, "Take him to the hospital quickly." "yes." Watching the green military vehicle slowly driving into the city, Zhang Haoran frowned, and then he took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Cailing. Text Chapter 50 Search Plan The next day, in the meeting room of the Special Affairs Department. "I called you here today for one thing." Holding a laser pointer, Zhang Haoran drew a circle on the map, and then looked at the people in the meeting room. There was no one else in the conference room today, and all members of the medal holder team were present, which is relatively rare in the special affairs department. "Yehuo Village has not contacted Qingshui City for a week. I received news yesterday that all the people in Yehuo Village died. The reason is unknown. This is an extremely abnormal situation, so my current plan is to let you go to Yehuo Village to investigate , how is it, is there a problem?" Hawkeye looked at the word Wildfire Village with a serious look, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Is it because of the invasion?" Zhang Haoran shook his head and said: "There is no sign of any invasion. According to the existing information, there is no way to determine the cause of their death. The situation was dictated by a treasure hunter, but unfortunately, he just gave the general situation, and then I just fell into a coma, and I haven't woken up yet." "That is to say, we are going to Wildfire Village to investigate the situation and see what happened there?" Hearing Comb's question, Zhang Haoran replied: "Yes, that's exactly the case. I have a plan here, and now I will discuss it with you." Picking up the document on the table, Zhang Haoran looked at the content of the document and continued: "Because the situation is not clear, my current overall plan is to let your team enter Yehuo Village to investigate. But in terms of specific implementation, Qingshui City will give you Some help. Tomorrow, a convoy of supplies will depart from Qingshui City, and the City Defense Army will be responsible for escorting the supplies, and you will set off with them." "After arriving at Yehuo Village, the city defense army will stop the escort mission and stay there to assist your investigation work. This mission is still under the command of you, Hawkeye, and you must do a good job in the investigation and on-site dispatch work. In addition, the command The office will keep in touch with you in real time, and respond to any questions at any time, understand what I mean?" "okay, I get it." After closing the document, Zhang Haoran glanced at all the members of the team, and then said: "Except for the full moon, all members of your team will participate in this operation. Just to remind you, after returning from this mission, it is time to submit the next psychological report. Don't forget. Is everything clear?" "clear." "clear." "learn." "knew." "clear." Nodding to everyone, Zhang Haoran said: "That's it, let's start tomorrow morning, and you have a good rest tonight. The meeting is over." After hearing the word "meeting dismissed", Tie Tong got up and stretched himself, and then said to the rest of the team, "I'm so hungry, do you want to eat together?" Comb came over and touched her little head, looking at the braid on Tie Tong's hair, Comb smiled and said, "Didn't you eat in the morning?" "No," replied listlessly, and Tie Tong continued, "I overslept this morning. It wasn't the captain who called me. I haven't woken up yet." "Let's go, go shopping with me, and I'll take you to dinner along the way." "No, I have to walk for hours every time I go shopping with you, I'm starving to death now, I can't walk" "Then eat first, let's talk after eating, here we come." "It's the same trick again, I won't be fooled." "I'm sure I won't lie to you this time, let's go, hurry up, and go out and buy you delicious food." Under the soft grinding of the comb, the iron bucket followed the comb out of the conference room with some reluctance. Lu Ming watched the comb and the iron bucket leave. Seeing that other people didn't respond, he could roughly understand that everyone was used to this scene for a long time. Leaving the conference room, Full Moon and Hawkeye walked side by side in front. Walking quickly to the side of the two, Lu Ming said to Hawkeye, "Captain, where are you going next?" Turning his head, Hawkeye said: "Go back, there's nothing wrong with this meeting. Why, do you want to talk to me?" Lu Ming thought for a while, and then replied: "That's about it. But I haven't gone shooting for a long time. Do you want to go, Captain?" Slightly taken aback, Hawkeye immediately said: "That's fine." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye looked at Man Yue and said, "How about you, Man Yue? Do you want to go together?" "I'll forget it, you guys go, I'll go back first." After speaking, Full Moon left on her own. Looking at Man Yue's back, Lu Ming had the illusion that Man Yue was not in a good mood. Could it be the reason why there is no him in this mission? Without thinking too much, Lu Ming and Hawkeye headed towards the shooting range together.to go. There are three shooting ranges inside the Special Affairs Department, which can meet the shooting training needs of the entire Special Affairs Department, including Lu Ming's shooting training, which was also completed in one of the shooting ranges. After familiarizing themselves with the road all the way, the two came to the shooting range. There are not many people in the shooting range. After getting ready, Hawkeye asked, "Still 50 meters?" "good." Arriving in front of the 50-meter target, Hawkeye took the lead in raising his gun to aim. Seeing that his posture was quite standard, Lu Ming couldn't help but secretly praised him in his heart. "boom¡ª¡ª" Following a gunshot, Hawkeye and Lu Ming's eyes fell on the target. After seeing the result, Lu Ming subconsciously clapped his hands and said, "It's beautiful." Lu Ming, who was standing by the side, could see clearly that this shot hit the bullseye perfectly. Smiling at Lu Ming, Hawkeye pouted and said, "It's your turn." Under Hawkeye's gaze, Lu Ming also slowly raised his pistol, his eyes focused on the target ahead. Without too much hesitation, Lu Ming pulled the trigger. "boom¡ª¡ª" There was another gunshot, and as the smoke from the muzzle slowly dissipated, Lu Ming looked at Hawkeye with a smile. Hawkeye looked at the target ahead, and then gave Lu Ming a thumbs up. Just like him, Lu Ming's shot also hit the bull's-eye. Without pausing, Hawkeye raised his gun to aim, planning to fire a second shot. At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly said: "Captain, there seem to be many settlements next to Qingshui City, why don't the people in the settlements choose to live in Qingshui City?" Hawkeye didn't answer. He squinted and stared at the target in front of him, and then firmly squeezed the trigger. The gunshots rang out again, but Hawkeye didn't check his results, but turned to Lu Ming and said, "Is this your doubt? But there are actually some complicated factors in your question." "There are many settlements in the wilderness, and many people in these settlements do not yearn for life in the city. There are various reasons. Some people are used to life in the wilderness. Even if the city is more comfortable and safe, they would No consideration. In addition, due to the lack of protection measures, some of these people have already mutated. If they are allowed to enter the city rashly, it will bring unpredictable risks, which is something that no ruler wants to see .¡± "This is the main reason why they live in the wilderness." Speaking of this, Hawkeye raised his gun to aim at the target again, and then he continued: "Of course, there are also some other factors." "I see." "boom¡ª¡ª" Amidst Lu Ming's voice, Hawkeye's third shot was also fired. Without looking at the target, Lu Ming continued: "The section chief said that this is not an invasion incident, so why should we investigate? I think he seems very worried." Putting away the gun, Hawkeye looked at Lu Ming and said, "If you didn't understand this question at the time, you can ask the section chief, but fortunately, it's the same as asking me. First of all, let's talk about why we are the ones to investigate. On the one hand, we are both Medal holders, the investigation speed will be more guaranteed; on the other hand, there is a certain relationship between settlements and cities." "Take Wildfire Village as an example. Although this is just a settlement, we have always had stable contact with each other. This is a mutually beneficial cooperation. You don't need to know the details, you just need to understand that Wildfire To some extent, the village can be regarded as an outpost of Qingshui City. And an important road connecting Qingshui City to the outside world is next to Yehuo Village. If something goes wrong in Yehuo Village, do you understand the consequences?" "So it's normal for the section chief to worry, and you don't have to be surprised." Seeing that Lu Ming was still thinking, Hawkeye put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "There's no need to think so much, you'll understand when you go later.? Text Chapter 51 Departure Early the next morning, a convoy of supplies set off in Qingshui City. There is a military vehicle at the front and rear of the convoy, which is what Zhang Haoran said, the troops of the City Defense Army. And at the rear of the convoy, a camouflage jeep followed closely behind, and it was Hawkeye and others in the car. From Qingshui City to Wildfire Village, there is more than half a day's journey in between. It was still the same as when they came back from the Federation, but this time Lu Ming sat in the co-pilot, while Iron Bucket and Comb sat in the back seat. ?Departed in the morning, and after driving for half a day with the convoy, the entire convoy stopped. Because it was time for dinner, everyone chose to get out of the car to eat, even the members of the city defense army were no exception. Hawkeye saw that the people who got off the car were divided into two groups, one group was the driver of the convoy, and the other group was the city defense troops in uniform. Everyone was holding lunch boxes in their hands, and it seemed that they planned to have lunch on the side of the road. Looking at the comb and iron bucket in the back row, Hawkeye said: "Let's get out of the car and have a meal too." The iron bucket rested on Comb's lap, and after hearing the word "eat", she sat up and rubbed her eyes . "Did you eat so soon?" Comb glanced fondly at the iron bucket, and then said: "It won't be long after eating." "Well, what are you eating, Captain?" Pointing to the trunk, Hawkeye replied: "There is a lunch box in the trunk. You can eat this at noon and night. If you think it's not enough, there are some dry food and the like." Tie Tong stretched out his hand to open the car door, and said, "I don't know how long this investigation will take. Is this enough?" Hawkeye also got out of the car and quickly walked to the back of the car. He opened the trunk and said, "Wildfire Village is not far from Qingshui City, so there is no need to bring a lot of supplies. And it's just for investigation, not for a long-term mission. Enough time." Tie Tong yawned, but she didn't say anything more about the lunch box that Hawkeye handed over. After distributing the lunch boxes, Hawkeye said to everyone, "Everything is cold now, everyone just eat." The four of them found a secluded place on the side of the road, and then quietly ate their boxed lunch. While eating, Lu Ming looked at the convoy and the people of the City Defense Army not far away. In Qingshui City, it is quite common to come out of the sports car team, and they are members of the same team. Everyone is quite familiar with each other, so they chat in small groups while eating, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Compared with this group of drivers who have been away all year round, the city defense army is much quieter. After all, they are soldiers, and they put discipline first no matter what they do. Things like eating or talking loudly are basically invisible to them. Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Ming turned to look around again. Because there is a certain distance from Qingshui City, there are no high-rise buildings here, and there are no other distinctive things here except for the endless forest. After taking two bites of the meal, Hawkeye who was beside Lu Ming finished the meal first. Taking out a garbage bag, Hawkeye said to the people who hadn't finished eating: "After you finish eating, remember to put the garbage in it. I'll find a convenient place first." After speaking, Hawkeye got up and walked towards the jeep, took out a bottle of water, and after Hawkeye drank half of the bottle, he walked towards the depths of the opposite forest. Putting down the lunch box, Lu Ming also finished his meal, and there was nothing else to do, so he planned to go back to the car to rest. Seeing Lu Ming get up, Tie Tong was surprised and said, "Shadow, do you eat so fast too?" After Zhang Haoran confirmed Lu Ming's code name, the members of the team also changed their names one after another, and everyone called Lu Ming "shadow". Although it was a little unaccustomed at first, everyone has come here like this. After a long time, even if you are not used to it, you will gradually get used to it. Lu Ming nodded slightly, then returned to the car. Looking at Lu Ming sitting in the car, Tie Tong said to the comb beside him: "He is so cold." Comb put down the lunch box, and looked at the iron bucket with his hands on his hips with displeasure. Seeing Comb's expression, Tie Tong wondered, "Did I say something wrong?" Without speaking, Comb took out his mobile phone, and then said to the iron bucket: "Look at what you look like now." Through the reflection on the screen of the mobile phone, Tie Tong found that there were a lot of rice grains on his mouth. "Huh? What's going on here?" "You ask me who I ask? I really don't know how you eat." Disgusted, dismissed, Comb took out a tissue from his pocket, and patiently helped the iron bucket wipe the rice grains at the corners of his mouth. In the eyes of others, this scene is like an intimate scene between mother and daughter. After returning from the convenience in the woods, Hawkeye opened the car door and sat in. Seeing the co-pilot Lu Ming staring into the distance in a daze, Hawkeye smiled and said, "Have you finished eating?" "Um." "The people in the team probably will get on the bus right after eating, and they will lie down and rest for a while.Well, I'll wake you up when I set off later. " Originally wanted to decline a few words, but seeing the faint smile on Hawkeye's face, Lu Ming hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay then, I'll trouble you, Captain." Waving his hand, Hawkeye had an indifferent expression on his face. Not long after, the iron bucket and comb came back after eating. The two rested in the car for a while, and then the team members also boarded the car one after another. With the sound of the engine starting, the convoy began to move on. Time passed slowly, and at nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy finally arrived at Yehuo Village. Except for the two stopped military vehicles, the rest of the vehicles did not stop at Yehuo Village, but drove into the distance. Park the jeep, open the door and get out. Yehuo Village is said to be next to this road, but it is actually about a few hundred meters away from here. There is a small road from the village that connects here, but unfortunately, it is too narrow for large vehicles. Looking at the inconspicuous path in the woods, Hawkeye thought about what he would do after entering the village. Not far away, the City Defense Army was gathering to count after getting off the car. Lu Ming was watching with great interest when suddenly a soldier who looked like an officer walked towards him quickly. The officer had already received an order beforehand, and their city defense army needed to obey Hawkeye's command for this operation. Without hesitation, the officer stood still in front of Hawkeye, and then said loudly: "Sir, all forty-four members of the City Defense Army have arrived, please give instructions!" After thinking for a while, Hawkeye said: "You leave a few people to guard here, and the rest follow me into the village. After entering the village, let your people be divided into two parts, one part is responsible for the security work outside, and the other part assists Let's investigate, understand?" "Understood, sir!" "Go, arrange things on your side, and we'll set off right away." "yes." Watching the officer return to the City Defense Army, Hawkeye turned around and said to Lu Ming and the others: "The investigation is about to start, and my current plan is to complete the preliminary investigation work when it gets dark. If it goes well, We can avoid spending the night here, otherwise the investigation will be postponed." "After entering the village, I will be in the same group as Shadow, and you will be in the same group as Iron Bucket. We will split up to make the investigation faster. In addition, if you encounter any problems or find anything, please contact me in time." After finishing speaking, Hawkeye pointed to the headset next to his ear. "clear." "learn." The comb and the iron bucket responded, just at that moment the officer came over with someone, and Hawkeye ordered: "Let's go, let's go." Main Text Chapter 52: The Investigation Begins Hawkeye was at the forefront of the team, and he led the crowd through the narrow path in the forest. After two or three minutes, the eyes of the people walking out of the path suddenly opened up. Now in front of them was an open space, and what appeared in the open space was a pile of highly decomposed corpses, with flies flying around. Getting a little closer, Hawkeye realized that it was not a human corpse. But even so, everyone still smelled a disgusting stench. The expressions on everyone's faces were ugly, and everyone frowned subconsciously. Turning his head to look at the officer, Hawkeye said: "Now the security work on the periphery can start. If there is anything found, let them report it in time." "yes." The officer drew out a team of people, and after dividing the team into several groups, each group set off towards their target location. After explaining the task, the officer was about to ask Hawkeye what instructions he had. But looking towards Hawkeye, he found that Hawkeye and the others were gathering around the dead animal. Taking a closer look, the officer found that these animals were of different types, including chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. Food is precious in the wilderness. Many settlements don¡¯t even have food in stock, and people can¡¯t get enough to eat, let alone raise livestock. Speaking of which, Yehuo Village can raise livestock, thanks to Qingshui City. It is precisely because of the cooperation with Qingshui City that Yehuo Village at least has no worries about food and drink. In their spare time, some people in the village raise some livestock. Finding a branch, Hawkeye pushed aside the piled corpses, and suddenly a stench hit everyone. Even the soldiers who had been on the battlefield couldn't bear the stench at this time, and covered their noses with their hands. This is true of the city defense forces in the distance, not to mention Hawkeye and others around the corpse, especially Hawkeye. In order to find clues, he did not hesitate to activate the ability of the medal. Although the medal gave him powerful perception and sensitive senses, it also made his brain boil after smelling the stench. Stuck in place, Hawkeye felt as if something had exploded in his mind, and his thinking completely stopped. Suppressing the stench, Hawkeye had to hold his breath for a while. After a few minutes of slowing down, Hawkeye felt a little better, but the investigation would continue. No way, Hawkeye could only cover his nose with one hand and clean up the scene with the other. With the flipping of Hawkeye, large numbers of flies soared into the sky, matching this scene, the face of the officer next to him also changed again and again. The highly decomposed animal carcasses made it clear that the animals were long dead. The immediate focus is to find out the cause of death of these animals. According to the available information, all the people in Yehuo Village have died, and all the animals have also died. It must be clarified whether the two are related. The most important thing is that these animal carcasses are piled up in one place, which is obviously abnormal, and there must be human factors. With a preliminary conclusion in mind, Hawkeye planned to look for clues on the animal corpses. Unfortunately, Hawkeye is neither a forensic doctor nor a veterinarian, and the clues he can obtain are quite limited. Not discouraged, Hawkeye stood up and said to the comb: "You and the iron bucket are in charge of the house over there, and I am in charge of the shadow here. If you have any questions, please contact me in time." Glancing in the direction of Hawkeye's finger, Comb nodded. Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye said to the officer: "Your task is to check all the places in the village except the houses. Once you find anything suspicious, record it immediately. After you finish the investigation, report the results to me." "yes." After quickly assigning tasks, the most important part of the investigation came. Walking into a house with Lu Ming, Hawkeye found two corpses lying on the ground as soon as they entered the door, but this time, the dead were villagers from the village. Squatting down, eagle eyes covered his nose and carefully observed the two corpses. Judging from the clothes and posture, they were two male corpses. One of the deceased was older and relatively thinner. The other deceased was obviously much younger, with a slightly muscular physique. Like the animals outside, both of the deceased had been dead for some time, and the corpses were also in a highly decomposed condition. Thinking of the information he had received, Hawkeye speculated that the two may have died for at least a week. Although no obvious wounds were found, with the ability of the medal, Hawkeye discovered that there was an extremely weak spiritual power in the deceased. But the place where the spiritual power remains is in the head of the deceased. After being puzzled for a while, Hawkeye had a vague guess in his mind. As the investigation continued, the duo inspected more homes. As with the information provided by Zhang Haoran, all of these deceased died in their rooms, and many of them died in front of their own homes. Such an unusual point also caught Hawkeye's attention. Although he knew from the beginning that the death of the villagers was not normal, after checking the scene, Hawkeye realized how weird it was. carefully searched allAfter entering the house, Hawkeye couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Lu Ming didn't bother him, but observed the surrounding environment. Wildfire Village is located in a forest, and every household in the village is not too far apart. It stands to reason that if there is any abnormality, even at midnight, someone must be able to hear the movement. But now everyone in the entire village has died, let alone the strange way of death, and there are no survivors, which is a bit strange no matter how you think about it. Just when Hawkeye was still thinking, the comb and the iron bucket walked towards this side. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hawkeye recovered from his contemplation. He looked at the comb and said, "Did you find anything?" Comb shook his head and said, "No." I don't know if it was because of this result, or because of the tragedy of the deceased, Comb's complexion was a little ugly. The iron bucket beside him didn't speak, but his immature face was also full of seriousness. After the four of them got together and sorted out the findings of the search, Hawkeye learned that the situation on Comb's side was similar to his own here. Frowning slightly, Hawkeye was about to speak when suddenly the officer rushed over from a distance. "Sir, we have a discovery here!" Hawkeye looked at him with some surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "What discovery?" "Please come to me." After finishing speaking, the officer led Hawkeye and others to an open space in the village. He pointed to the stone well cover and said: "We found a well here, which should be used for daily life in the village. After opening the well cover, the water level in the well was not high. We looked at it with a searchlight and found a cigarette butt floating in the water .¡± "This is it." Taking the sealed plastic bag from someone else, the officer handed it to Hawkeye. Looking at the cigarette butts stored in the transparent plastic bag, Hawkeye looked carefully several times, but he didn't find anything special except that the brand of this cigarette had never been seen before. But finding a cigarette butt in the well is quite special in itself. Just imagine, the well is used by the villagers for their daily lives, and it is covered with a manhole cover, so no one will be so bored as to throw cigarette butts into it. The strange way of death of the villagers flashed through his mind, and his eagle-eyed intuition told him that this cigarette butt was of great value. The people of the city defense army continued to search for a while, but after that they found nothing else. As it was getting late, Hawkeye ordered the search operation to be suspended. Back to the parking place, everyone rested for a while. Given what we've seen while searching, many people have a weak appetite for dinner. Therefore, everyone just ate some hastily. After thinking for a while, Hawkeye and the Special Affairs Division reported the situation of the search. Zhang Haoran discussed with Hawkeye after hearing this, and finally the two decided to stay here tonight and wait until dawn tomorrow before proceeding. village search
