"Did I blink?" the human asked confused, "or did I just fall asleep?"
Zhang Yeran was suspicious of his life, and even looked at the time and found that the minute hand had moved less than one step, which meant that he had not fallen asleep or fainted.
The dressing mirror that was turned toward humans no longer had the creepy feeling it had before. If you look closely, you can see that there are tiny cracks on the mirror surface, spreading outward like a spider web.
To put it simply, the spirit in the mirror was eaten by Bai Su, so the mirror was broken.
But humans didn't know the first point. They thought there was something wrong with the mirror, causing the supernatural being attached inside to have problems as well.
The human male, who was still fully armed, carefully picked up the mirror, opened a small door somewhere in the room and rushed in. The door was immediately closed, not knowing what to do.
Bai Su was left standing there, staring at a room full of various items.
Why hadn't he discovered that there was such a good place underground under the police station before?
After thinking about it, Bai Su thought it might be a pot with a bronze sword handle.
Whoever made that sword hilt target him in the back corridor on the first floor, and after he got rid of it, he lost the opportunity to come to the first floor to find out.
But it's not too late.
The black-haired young man stood in front of the partition and glanced at the camera hanging in the corner.
Previously, he used his body to cover up the eating process and covered it with his hands. Can the rest also be...
Before Bai Su could put his idea into practice, the small door was reopened, and a fully armed human emerged from it.
The face under the mask was a little confused, but mostly relieved.
I don’t know what Bai Su did, but the Yin Qi value wrapped around the dressing mirror has greatly attenuated. Although it has not returned to zero, humans speculate that it is caused by the residual aura.
Supernatural items that can still be used are called supernatural items. Perhaps for the upper level, items that can retain supernatural properties and make use of them are good. But for Zhang Yeran, he would rather things related to supernatural beings not exist.
If the dressing mirror is broken, it is broken. Go back and find a room to let it rest, and then throw it away after the Yin Qi is almost gone, or ask if any colleagues are interested in supernatural mirrors... Oh, by the way.
The face under the human mask turned towards the black-haired young man standing in the room.
"Do you have time?" The man's eyes flashed, "Do you want to take a look at the other items here?"
The other objects in the room are not as threatening as the bronze sword hilt, but anything that can be placed here will have some impact on people.
Whether it's mental or physical.
"Okay." Bai Su agreed quickly.
Don't waste the opportunity that comes to your door. The surveillance has recorded it. This is the human being who took the initiative to ask for his help. There will be a few complete items left later... He can't guarantee it.
The black-haired young man walked in circles in the room as others watched. Every time he stopped in front of an item, he would reach out to pick it up, hold it in his hands and observe it for a while.
As he looked, humans were still talking to him.
"What did you just see in the mirror?"
"Huh? I saw another version of myself, smiling at me." Afraid that humans wouldn't understand, Bai Su also described it, "The whites of the eyes are occupied by black, and the corners of the mouth are grinning almost to the ears... like the slit girl?"
"...No need to describe it, I've seen it."
Bai Su, who was fiddling with a ballpoint pen, tilted his head curiously: "What does a slit girl look like?"
Japanese urban legend, Baisu has only heard of it but never seen it.
It was impossible for him to move his body from this city to the other side of the sea overnight. Even if he was in a port city, it would be very troublesome.
Moreover, the Slit Girl does not have a clear summoning method like Bloody Mary in the West, so she can only try her luck on the street.
The human male who was being questioned showed an unspeakable look for a moment. He organized his sentences for a long time before he said, "Well... she looks pretty when she wears a mask." Taking off the mask would be terrifying.
It's just that when traveling abroad, a woman with a gape will catch her on the road at night and ask "Am I beautiful?" The person just realizes something, suddenly takes off the mask, and without going through the answering process, rushes in with a pair of scissors. Come up.
Although the cracked woman was eventually repelled, the experience left a psychological shadow on Zhang Yeran.
I won’t go on overseas trips. Even if I’m on vacation in China, I have to research whether there are any local rumors circulating in the near future. If there are any rumors, avoid them to avoid working overtime in the local area.
Bai Su nodded in understanding and continued to look at the pen in his hand.
It was a ballpoint pen. He pressed it a few times, and the refill popped out and then retracted.
It was the human being behind who reminded him, saying that this was a pen that could attract the pen fairy.
Bai Su: "Oh, I think I've heard of it."
After flipping through it twice, he found the origin of this pen from his memory. It was brought back by humans in a certain period of time.
However, humans should not know that he knows this.
Zhang Yeran thought that Bai Su had only heard of the Bixian method, and sighed: "This pen is special...several batches of students have had accidents while playing Bixian, and now it has developed to the point where ideas will come up as long as you hold it... "
The human originally wanted to ask Bai Su how he felt when holding it, but when he thought about Bai Su's abilities, Zhang Yeran felt that the ballpoint pen was just an ordinary pen in Bai Su's hands.
Much the same is true.
Bai Su didn't have any thoughts while holding the pen. He was more thinking about whether he could smuggle the pen home.
He had played this spirit-calling game at home alone with a pen, but he didn't know if it was because of the number of people that he didn't get started.
It's different now. With a special pen, he can let the white dog's paws also contribute...
The white dog sitting far away at home:?
Thinking back to the inconvenience of smuggling in "in full view", he held the pen and turned it twice. A small clicking sound was heard, and the plastic buckle on the ballpoint pen cracked in half.
Then Bai Su threw the pen back and continued to look at the next item.
Almost all the supernatural items in the room had been touched by him. Most of them were scrapped directly after passing through Bai Su's hands. Bai Su thought a small number of them tasted bad and let them go.
He is no longer a monster who just came to the human world and was occasionally starved for food. He now has ample food sources.
At the end of the selection process, when Bai Su was holding a wooden box and studying how to open it, there was a knock on the door of the room.
The visitor knocked twice, politely said "Excuse me", and then opened the door.
The head that poked in was also fully clothed, with a mask on his face, which made Bai Su look a little out of place.
"Senior Zhang——" The person who came was a clerk from the office on the first floor, "I'm here to see you off... Hey, Bai Su, you're here too."
The clerk was stunned for a moment: "That's just right. You can save me from finding someone to bring the documents to you... If I want to find Miss Qiao, I don't have the courage... Damn it, why is it Miss Qiao?"
The clerk said the last half of the sentence very softly, but Bai Su still heard it clearly.
Bai Su:......
Bai Su: How about you guys talk to Qiao Jiang yourself? He had no problem with changing the liaison person.
After muttering a few words, the clerk took out two document bags from his arms: "These are paper documents, and the electronic ones should be issued later."
The front page was printed with the words "Top Secret" in big red letters, and a seal was attached in a very formal way. The talisman paper used for the seal was of a familiar style, and it was probably produced by a minor.
"What is this?" Bai Su held the wooden box in one hand and the document bag in the other.
Zhang Yeran on the side opened the file bag directly. The seal had no blocking effect and was indeed just a pretense.
"The list of restricted areas...has the restricted area been updated?" Zhang Yeran asked in surprise.
The clerk who came to deliver the document bag nodded. Seeing that the room where supernatural items were handled today was safe, he simply took off the mask on his head.
"It's so hot... Yes, the restricted list has been updated."
"I remember the last update was a few years ago..." Zhang Yeran touched his chin and flipped through it twice casually, "Only one update?"
The clerk sighed: "Even if there is only one update, it still needs to be widely advertised."
Seeing the human being's sad face, Bai Su put down the wooden box and opened the document bag.
The forbidden area is a forbidden area in the literal sense. A large area is circled and shaded on the map. The reasons for prohibiting entry are briefly written under the map. If you turn to the next page, you can see the detailed records.
This is a list of restricted areas in the country. Most of the place names in front of it have never been heard by Bai Su. Only a few of them have been mentioned once or twice in human whispers.
Since it was a new addition, Bai Su simply turned to the last few pages.
"The sky..." Where is the sky?
There were two pictures on it, one was a landscape photo taken against the clouds in the sky, and the other was a map framed with black shadows. After trying to distinguish it for a while, Bai Su could only tell that it was in the northwest. .
The humans next to him also expressed the same doubts, because there was not much written on the last page, and it mentioned clouds vaguely.
Zhang Yeran: "Yun...is there anything wrong with the cloud in this photo?"
Clerk: "I don't know the details, but this photo has been processed."
The clerk recalled it and recounted it. He said that there was something wrong with the clouds in the northwest a few months ago, but they sent people to check and there was no conclusion, and the plane could fly above the clouds normally.
Until a month ago.
Which specific day it is, the number belonging to that day is written on the paper.
The clouds have thickened since that day, and the people living under that sky have not been affected yet, but the equipment flying in the air is no longer working and will malfunction if you get close to it.
In the end, the special department used some special means, and almost at the moment of "seeing", the investigator fell down.
When the others woke up, there was no time to recuperate their spirits, so the investigator dragged the others to the meeting.
The conference room door closed and opened, and by the end of the meeting, the list of restricted areas was increased by one.
"Because the flying equipment cannot get through, and the photos taken from a distance are not so deterrent, the residents below are already planning to evacuate... so it is not clear what is in the clouds."
It should be said that some people know, but the people below will not know anyway.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome... If this continues, is there room for anyone to stay?" Zhang Yeran opened his mask irritably and scratched the bridge of his itchy nose, "Which restricted area has not been expanded again and again, but I have never seen it shrink. of."
"Yes." The clerk agreed, "Speaking of Senior Zhang, the bureau recently found out about a newly emerged religious group. You may be asked to help later."
The unshaven man suddenly grimaced: "How come my business is getting wider and wider? Didn't I say at the beginning that I was only responsible for repairing water pipes... Okay, okay, I understand."
The two humans started chatting about other work topics, and only Bai Su was still looking at the photos colored on the paper.
Blue sky, white clouds... clouds.
Bai Su lifted the paper up and looked at the sky through the thin paper and the thick ground.
——It’s a cloud.
…
A day in the hospital starts at zero o'clock.
There are always people waiting in the inpatient area. This is the case for ordinary inpatient areas, but it is even more strict for the floors that are watched by special departments.
The underage high school student yawned repeatedly and sat on the chair outside one of the wards. He knocked his head down from time to time. Occasionally, he nodded too loudly and suddenly woke himself up.
The awakening only lasted for a moment, and soon the sleepiness came back, taking the young man into sleep again.
A passing nurse patted Gao Tianyi and woke him up, preventing the young man from falling asleep on the hospital floor.
"I said, do you want to sleep at our place and build a bed for you."
"No, no need, I'm here..."
"I said, let's make a bed for you."
"Well...are there any other options?"
"Other options..." the passing nurse drawled, "There is an empty ward over here, and it is currently unoccupied. If you want to sleep, you can sleep there for the night."
The minor silently compared the distance in his mind and decisively agreed.
After that, Gao Tianyi went to the ward and slept from early morning to dawn. After driving away all the sleepiness, he got up from the bed.
Staring at the unfamiliar wall, the young man's mind slowly turned.
Oh, he's in the hospital. He slept in the hospital yesterday.
His classmates have been getting more and more unconscious recently, and it has reached the point where Ou Bu can't remember yesterday, and his parents left again because of work.
He didn't want to talk about his parents. Gao Tianyi just hoped that his classmates could safely get through this stage of amnesia.
New information obtained from special departments indicates that sick people will experience strange things in the final stage of amnesia, but since they have not witnessed it yet, they cannot give specific descriptions at present.
Gao Tianyi shook his head, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
As he walked, he thought that although he couldn't know what would happen in the future, he was basically certain that his classmate had an accident outside the bar.
He caught a glimpse of Kaifeng Cai in the distance, and later determined that it was the figure of a boy with a round face.
As soon as Gao Tianyi took a handful of water, there was noise from the ward next door, followed by the sound of footsteps running in the corridor.
The young man felt vaguely that something was wrong, so he quickly found a tissue and wiped his face, put on his coat and ran out.
"What happened next door?" Gao Tianyi called to a passing nurse.
The other party looked panicked. She originally wanted to ignore Gao Tianyi, thinking he was a minor, and wanted to persuade him to leave the scene. However, after Gao Tianyi took a piece of talisman on her body, the nurse calmed down and gradually calmed down.
"The patient in the next ward is missing," the nurse said. "The ward door has not been opened. We have searched everywhere else, but only the window is open."
