The male host's narration was interrupted, but it didn't matter. The hostess could just make up for what she didn't finish before going home.
Now Tang Nuo's attention came to the photo frame.
Almost as soon as he approached, the value of the detector he was carrying rose up and sounded an innocuous alarm sound, which was of the innocuous type.
What concerned Tang Nuo was the supernatural expression on the photo frame. He couldn't see it, but he could touch it.
It was about a few centimeters long and about a finger's width away from the cold ice, constantly brushing against his fingertips.
What's this? Doubts arose in the human mind, and then he turned his attention to the black-haired young man he discovered.
The young member sitting with the male owner of the house understood and took the pen and paper, drew the male owner's attention with a louder volume, and took over Tang Nuo's recording.
In this case, the two people whispering beside the shelf will not be discovered.
"What did you see?" Tang Nuo asked.
"Milk white and transparent, like sea anemones." Bai Su replied, "Press down a little more... they will sink in."
Bai Su watched in silence as the ball of "sea anemone tentacles" was rubbed into pieces, and couldn't help but remind him: "Some of them are about to fall out... they have already fallen out!"
The two pieces fell limply to the ground and rolled twice. They looked weak and weak, and barely raised their heads on the ground before hanging down again.
It can't get up.
Tang Nuo: "...I can't see."
Bai Su: "If you can't see it, don't stop itching your hands... Tsk."
He knelt down and took out that... tentacle? He picked it up and handed it back to Tang Nuo.
He pretended to touch the tip of his nose and stuffed the other one into his mouth.
I chewed it twice invisibly, hmm... the refreshing taste of jelly?
After squeaking a few times, Bai Su brazenly swallowed the invisible parts of the human body.
Both of them had their backs to the male master and the young member, and their conversations and actions could not be clearly seen from behind.
Tang Nuo: "It doesn't look harmful...but just to be on the safe side, I'd better take it away. Can you tell what the carrier is?"
Bai Su: "It's a photo."
Tang Nuo: "Ah..." This is a bit troublesome.
If it is a photo frame and can be taken away with you, photos have special meaning to people. How can you take this with you?
After confirming that the photo was harmless, the young man wearing glasses put the frame back and asked the host if he could take it when he was about to leave.
If you can't take it, use some special means, such as grabbing it openly, and then return an identical one later.
The human sat back down, and Bai Su also sat there, but his eyes were still on the photo frame.
...Why does it feel like after you eat one, another one grows on it?
Not knowing yet what category the picture on the photo frame belonged to, Bai Su forced himself to look away.
The more I look at it, the more I want it, so it’s better not to look at it.
The male host on the other side also came to the end of his second round of narration. He confirmed that his wife had forgotten things during her illness. At first it was just trivial things, but later she even forgot her own name.
"I thought it was just a burn...is there something wrong with this too?"
Young Member: Of course!
The young member sighed quietly. He felt that their department still thought too well and had a backward version of the Internet keyword capturing method.
If they had discovered what happened in the forum earlier, would they have been able to do it earlier? Young members would also think that everything is in the past, and they have to focus on the present and solve this matter as soon as possible.
There cannot be any more victims.
While they were chatting, the door lock of the house was turned from the outside, and everyone in the house heard the sound.
The conversation stopped suddenly, and the man of the house suddenly raised his finger and whispered: "My wife is back from get off work."
Look at the clock, it's only about four o'clock.
But the male owner of the household had spoken, and the other three people sitting there had changed their demeanor. Among them, Bai Su had changed the most completely, and he almost considered the place where he sat down to be his own home.
As soon as the mistress of the house entered the door, she saw four faces looking at her, which made the mistress take a step back in fright.
She closed the door and opened it again after a few seconds. There were still the same four faces.
"...Husband?" The hostess made a confused voice, "Are they...?"
"My friend." The host replied, "I haven't contacted you for a long time. I just restored contact not long ago. I am here as a guest today. Didn't I tell you about this before?"
The hostess thought for a while, and it seemed that her husband had indeed told her such a thing, and also mentioned that he would take leave today.
But don’t these friends have to go to work? Today is a working day.
After thinking about it, the hostess showed a smile on her face: "Welcome, do you want to stay for dinner later? I didn't buy a lot of food. If you want to stay, you may have to wait for me for a while..."
The host quickly interrupted: "No, I... we will go out for a drink later."
The hostess nodded, changed her shoes and went back to the bedroom. After putting her bag and coat away, she put on her apron and went into the kitchen.
Seeing that the person was out of sight, the male host lowered his voice and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"
If Tang Nuo and the younger members were to answer, they would definitely not be able to tell, but they did not speak in a hurry, but made eye contact with each other.
Bai Su:......
Bai Su: Even if human eyes blink like this, he still doesn’t understand what humans want to express?
Bai Su: Stop blinking, stop blinking, your eyes will cramp if you blink again.
The black-haired young man looked at the two humans and seemed to be communicating something, but he didn't understand anything.
Bai Su pondered for a moment when the two humans asked him and looked at him with understanding eyes.
He could see a little bit of things that humans couldn't see.
But it has to be said that the existence of the hostess is well hidden now. Unless he gets close, he can't tell that the other party is not a human being.
Yes, not human.
Different from the one seen in the alley, the person in front of me is disguised? replace? Anyway, this "tuo" that appears in the image of the hostess is relatively mature in terms of shape and structure.
Bai Su thought for a while, compiled a message in summary text and sent it to Tang Nuo.
The reason why you didn't speak directly was because there was also the hostess's husband present. According to human conditions, telling the truth should make the other party sad?
The monster thinks with little emotional intelligence, mixed with a little bit of detection of crisis.
It may not be called a crisis, but a husband who learns that something happened to his wife will definitely have an emotional breakdown.
It is impossible to predict what will happen after an emotional breakdown, and the consequences of this are also unpredictable.
After Tang Nuo heard the beep on his phone, he quickly picked it up and took a look.
Afterwards, his expression remained unchanged as he answered the male host: "There may be some problems, similar to ghost possession. We'll take a look at the rest."
In fact, when he heard the ghost coming over, the male owner wanted to jump up from the sofa, but was held down by the young member.
This is probably why many of them came to the door together. One person is responsible for talking, another is responsible for doing things, and another person is responsible for... eating and drinking?
The young member glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered that the black-haired young man who had finished editing the message had changed his target and was reaching out to the fruit plate on the coffee table.
He blinked, and the other person touched an orange and began to peel it.
Young member: No, please work hard!
The young members finally understood why the other teams were two-person teams and their team was a three-person team, because there was always someone not working.
This person can be him...after all, his abilities are limited, or this person can be Bai Su...after all, this person is not an official member of the staff.
Baisu, who was not officially prepared, peeled the orange peel and threw the pulp into his mouth.
He felt that the human being was whispering to him again... Well, this orange seemed a bit sour.
The black-haired young man's face wrinkled for a moment, then relaxed quickly.
He doesn't have any prejudice against sour and sweet tastes. He can drink vinegar directly, but Tangerine still likes something a little sweeter.
Bai Su was eating oranges there, watching the young members forcibly suppress the male host, and then the two started a friendly exchange.
One-sided kindness is also kindness, and some people have learned specialized language arts. The young member listened to the very convoluted words in Baisu, which made the male host faint.
The male host sat back in a daze, his reaction no longer so intense.
"Then my wife is...?"
"The advice we give here is to find a reason to live separately for a while. It should... there shouldn't be any problems!"
The somewhat guilty tone finally turned high-pitched, even attracting the attention of the hostess who was still cooking in the kitchen.
The young member smiled awkwardly at the hostess who poked her head out of the kitchen, and then put his arm around the male host's shoulders, showing off a friendly attitude.
The non-human hostess was persuaded and returned to the kitchen.
The young member was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and continued to persuade the male host. All his words were appropriately adapted based on the news he had just received.
Without fidelity, errors may occur.
The young member was still fooling the host, but Tang Nuo on the other side had already pulled Bai Su out of the restaurant.
"How can you tell?" Tang Nuo asked.
"Use your eyes...well, that's what my brain tells me."
Bai Su is already well versed in how to fool humans. He just needs to keep all the answers in his head.
The non-existent brain told him about the strangeness of his mistress, and he also blamed the abnormality in the photo on the severed branch in his brain.
Tang Nuo was a little suspicious, but he didn't sense the lie, so he believed it for the time being.
"The others?"
"Well, it's just a face-to-face meeting, so it's hard to tell." Even as a monster, Bai Su couldn't get more information without in-depth understanding.
If he had to comment more, he thought the smell of matcha from the hostess smelled quite good, and it probably tasted good too.
Is this probably the difference between mature and immature bodies?
Speaking of which, if he had succeeded in getting that puddle of bean paste-filled mud in the alley, would he have received something more delicious than that mochi dumpling?
After his thoughts drifted away for a moment, Bai Su asked, "Shall I go to the kitchen to talk to the hostess?"
Tang Nuo seemed to be considering the feasibility of this operation. After a while, he agreed with the idea.
But before that, Tang Nuo still had a question: "If you say that the mistress here is not the original one...what do you mean?"
Bai Su did not answer directly, but made a thoughtful gesture.
After a while, he squinted and replied, "I don't know either."
…
Non-self has several meanings. Replacement. Is the person being replaced dead or alive? Is it directly replacing a person, replacing the original body part by part, or is it the most brutal method of directly crushing it and rebuilding it again.
No matter which one it is, it is currently not visible from the hostess.
Probably because he found that Bai Su didn't have much talent, Tang Nuo took the job instead.
The bespectacled police officer really couldn't comment on Bai Su's chat skills. He could only say that he would definitely apply with them if he had a chance later. Even if he was a part-time member, it would be best for him to take language classes.
The black-haired young man who was driven out of the door shrugged and simply stood back in front of the photo frame.
Young member: Is it possible that you can come over and help me deal with the male host? He can hardly continue talking.
Bai Su didn't know the unspoken thoughts of humans. He just stood in front of the photo frame, using his body to cover it, and pulled another stick of "jelly" from the photo.
Regarding the situation of the human mistress, Bai Su guessed that the human race was gone or dead. After all, Qiao Jiang's explanation was that her "light" went out.
Of course, only she knows whether what Qiao Jiang said is true, and her information can only be used as a reference.
Not long after, Tang Nuo, who was inquiring about the news, returned from the kitchen with a plate of fried shrimp crackers in his hand. It was said that the hostess kindly provided it because they were her husband's friends.
"Although you will go out to drink and eat later, let's eat something to satisfy your hunger first." The hostess said.
False friend Tang Nuo nodded, took the plate, and took it out.
He only ate one piece, and the rest went into Bai Su's stomach.
Young member: Is it because he doesn’t deserve it? Well, he doesn’t deserve it.
The empty plates were placed on the coffee table. The host, who also hadn't eaten a bite, was about to speak when Tang Nuo blocked him and said, "It's almost time. We should go out."
The male host didn't know why, and was led by them in all his actions. He waited until he reflexively said hello and said goodbye to his "problematic" wife, and was pushed out of the door.
He stood alone downstairs, still hearing instructions from people in the special department.
To sum up, his wife has some problems but she should be able to get along with him normally. My suggestion is not to let her notice anything is wrong, so as to avoid something irreversible happening.
Host: "No... I can ask you -"
Young member: "It's not very possible. One of us can only be split into two people... Okay, I can leave you a phone number. Just set it as an emergency contact. If you call in time, maybe you can still make it in time." ——”
Host: "What's too late?"
Young member: "Hold it...ahem, I'll save you in time."
Host: You want to say collect the body, right?
The male host watched silently as the official personnel who said they were here to solve the problem left, and he was the only one left in the so-called drinking party.
In order not to let the "wife" upstairs notice anything strange, the male host sighed and went to his usual small restaurant to sit down alone.
After ordering several bottles of wine melancholy, the ordinary human male finally showed uncontrollable trembling under the concerned inquiry from the familiar restaurant owner.
He...his wife is——
This photo frame is a story my dad told me (?)
The article was adapted a bit. What he originally told me was that an old friend of mine had a photo of all his old comrades in his home. He thought the house was cool and asked someone to take a look. He said that most of the people in the photo were dead, so they were all dead. The spirit of something, a bright summer story x
