"you're awake."
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling that I had never seen before.
The blurred vision gradually became clearer, and the man in the suit slowly recognized that this was the ceiling of the hospital.
Just as he was about to move, he felt a pain all over his body. The pain was so painful that he couldn't move and could only lift his fingers.
what happened? The man in the suit couldn't move his body, so he started to use his brain drowsily, and rediscovered several impressions printed on his retina before he fainted.
The ghost-like characters reappeared, and the human pupils suddenly tightened. The whole person trembled uncontrollably, and his fingers bent down, grabbing the sheets underneath him.
At the same time, the shouts of others faded away again. The man in the suit opened his mouth, saliva oozing out. Seeing that his teeth were biting his tongue, the others quickly stuffed a towel into it.
Then there was a cry that was far away from consciousness, and after a while, he was pricked by a needle on his arm.
Unlike the painful first time when he lost his mind, the man in the suit calmed down quickly this time.
Moreover, he also saw a pair of familiar faces stretching out in front of him, looking at him up and down with narrowed eyes: "Are you calm down?"
The man in the suit, who couldn't speak or nod yet, said: "..."
After squinting his eyes for a while, he realized this: "Blink twice when you calm down."
The man in the suit finally blinked twice, which was a sign that he would not fall into madness again.
"But you can't talk like this..." He narrowed his eyes and was a little worried. The man who didn't have the skill of medicine could only call the doctor, ask a few questions, and get a reply that would take about thirty minutes.
Thirty minutes, that can still wait.
During this period, Mi Miyan hurriedly handled some work. After his subordinates could speak, he put down his notebook in time.
"Team...Captain." The man in the suit's voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, "I..."
Squinting his eyes, he interrupted before anyone could say a few words: "If you don't feel comfortable talking, just shut up. I'll ask you questions."
Forcibly pressing the subordinate back, the two of them answered a few questions with yes or no and some simple words.
"I saw something strange... lost my mind? Do you understand... it must have been because of the recollection just now? Yes, look back and think of a way to help you remember."
Obviously, the man in the suit cannot be allowed to recall by himself. As soon as he recalls, he can't tell who is who. If the situation is good, he is frightened and wants to run away. If the situation is not good, he will hit someone when he sees someone. Just like just now, if he was not trapped in the hospital bed, he would have been uncovered. Got to the ground.
"Ah? What are you asking?" He squinted his eyes and leaned closer to his ears, listening to his subordinate's every word, "Why does your body hurt so much?"
After saying this, Mi Miyan narrowed his eyes that could hardly see the cracks in displeasure and raised his hand.
The sleeves of late autumn and early winter clothing slipped from the cuffs, revealing the white gauze and bandages wrapped around the arms underneath.
injured? Were you injured in the previous battle at the auto repair shop?
The man in the suit was lying on the hospital bed and thought blankly. In his impression, his captain was quite on the edge of the battle with the man in the bandage. He shouldn't be injured?
Soon, the man in the suit's doubts were answered.
It was indeed not an injury sustained during the battle, but on the way back from work. Due to vehicle failure, the team member who was driving failed to control the steering wheel, and the car crashed into the guardrail on the side of the highway.
Then, the passenger airbag did not deploy.
Obviously, I will do corresponding inspections before every mission. When I drove the car out at night, I confirmed that there was no problem with the air bag. But after just one night out, the situation changed.
In addition, the brakes, as originally thought, did not fail. It is unknown why the car skidded at that time. The reason has been attributed to the supernatural side for the time being.
It was as if something could pull a certain part in the front car hood, and then it would disappear immediately after the car accident, and the reason would be erased together.
Nian Mianyan briefly described the car accident. Later, they changed to another car. There were still some glitches in the process, but this time it was harmless and they returned to S City without any danger.
After going straight to the hospital, he consciously sought treatment from a doctor because he had been seriously injured in a car accident.
Their timing was slightly later than that of the doppelgangers, and shortly after arriving at the hospital, a small explosion occurred.
"That's...the reason why you are lying here now." He glanced at his subordinates with narrowed eyes, "When the hospital was preparing to examine you, the machine exploded."
Theoretically, the explosion affected a circle of people around him, but strangely, most of the broken glass and metal instruments fell on the man in the suit, and the medical staff only scratched his skin a little.
Man in suit:...?
Man in suit: Is my misfortune not over yet?
After speaking with narrowed eyes, he looked at his subordinates.
"You've noticed, too, your luck." He narrowed his eyes and said with a low expression, "In other words, our luck tonight is very bad."
Of course the man in the suit found out.
He encountered all kinds of minor problems tonight, until he was unfortunately dizzy in the confusing and ominous words.
Speaking of which...those ghost talismans?
"As for the ghost-drawing talisman, I went to find out about it from Bai Su." He narrowed his eyes and raised the book in his hand, "He said he saw it underground in the auto repair shop."
I recreated what I thought of in the ambulance. I didn't expect it would have such a big impact on the man in the suit.
The man in the suit continued to remain silent on the hospital bed. What else could he think? I can only believe it.
"Because he didn't react well to you, he tore up the piece of paper and destroyed it. However, he re-wrote it at my request and kept it in the notebook."
The current situation is that without complete preparation, it is estimated that no one will open this notepad.
The man in the suit blinked twice again to show that he understood.
I was the only one who was the unlucky one. I was the only one who went temporarily crazy after reading those characters that should not be read.
To some extent, Bai Su is a terrible person.
The team that narrow eyes belonged to were suspicious of Bai Su's words. They always felt that Bai Su was hiding something, especially some of their encounters tonight.
I couldn't tell what the reason was, but I narrowed my eyes and thought it could be the auto repair shop they went to, or it could be the extra Baisu.
Man in suit: But... isn't it their choice to find Bai Su?
Although there are some unexplained factional disputes behind this, in general it is still their own choice.
The man in the suit couldn't speak fluently yet. He looked straight at him and used his eyes to express the sentence he wanted to express. After blinking for a long time, he only got the captain's look like he was looking at a fool.
"It's almost time." The nurse came in and knocked on the door to remind him that the visiting time was up. "He needs to have a checkup and then rest."
He narrowed his eyes and stepped aside calmly.
Before leaving, he turned around and said, "Bai Su seems to have the idea of continuing to participate in the cult case."
"But Xia Chengyin's team next door will resolve the doppelgänger issue first. If he still wants to participate - you may still be the person to connect."
…
Putting the cult aside in advance, the top priority is the doppelgänger.
Anomalies, large and small, broke out in various cities across the country. Although the authorities had been prepared and prepared a resignation letter to appease the masses, some small commotions still occurred.
The small commotion was quickly quelled, but if the doppelgänger incident was not resolved, the small commotion would sooner or later turn into a bigger panic.
Therefore, special departments everywhere have some headaches.
Generally speaking, the rise of some supernatural events is always regional. At most, it is a mobile case, and it rarely spreads over a large area.
Now, they have no idea why the doppelgänger incident started and how it spread across the country.
Looking at the reports from various places, it seems that it starts from the port city, and then gradually moves inland along the sea, rivers and lakes, and finally reaches the source of the river, which is on the plateau.
The nearby cities were being eaten away bit by bit, like mold growing in the darkness, quickly covering the remote corners where light could not reach.
Afterwards, City S, which is close to the sea and is suspected to be the origin of the doppelgänger incident, submitted a lot of information, and what other cities found was fed back. In the end, a thick pile was collected and put on the desk, enough to hold a new meeting.
The attendees were still those members. Due to the size of the conference room, the number of members was reduced. Those who remained were at least those who had participated in the investigation of the doppelgänger incident and had a lot of information.
The person who chaired the meeting was supposed to be Gu Cheng, but as a result, the branch leader received a notice before the meeting and temporarily changed the route and handed over the work to his subordinates.
So the short-tempered police officer took the folder from his boss and pushed open the door of the conference room. Only when he saw the people inside clearly did Xia Chengyin want to exit.
There is a clear difference between being a participant and the person presiding over the meeting. In the former, he can still fish for fish or make jokes, but in the latter, he has to endure the incoherence of his colleagues.
Well, he is usually the most inconspicuous, but that doesn't mean that everyone else is in peace.
Many people are in what can be called a bad friend group.
The short-haired police officer closed the door, took a deep breath and opened the door again, then walked in and slammed the folder on the table.
First, there are some issues that need to be addressed.
Xia Chengyin looked at the young man in school uniform sitting in the first seat on the lower left, and repeatedly checked the list in his hand, but did not see the name of an underage high school student.
"Gao Tianyi." He chewed the person's name word by word, implying a threat, "Explain, why are you here?"
The adult who no longer wanted to repeat that it was the time of the school day thought in his mind, don't let him catch who opened the door for this little brat.
The threatened minor didn't take it seriously and waved his hand: "I've asked for leave from school, and I've said hello to Uncle Gu, so Brother Xia, you can't sanction me."
The young man said in a somewhat offensive tone, and pointed at himself: "I am also considered a related person, right? My classmates haven't woken up yet!"
Gao Tianyi thought that he could sit here. If he had to be driven back to school, he would use his classmates to fight.
There's nothing he can do, his classmates haven't woken up yet.
It has been several days since the body of the round-faced boy was recovered, and the special department has not developed any way to restore it.
However, the existence of the doppelganger was exposed after several stimulations and turned into a black sludge-like appearance. The surging pool of sludge caused a lot of confusion to the members of the special department, but in the end they were able to capture it without any danger.
He took it off, but the round-faced boy still sat there unconsciously. Xiao Jiang, the community worker next to him, was a little better and had some physiological reactions.
Gao Tianyi skipped several classes to observe a few times, and returned to the gym for a few nights. He came to the conclusion that if he wanted his classmate to recover, he had to solve the problem from the source.
The source refers to the origin of the black sludge, which the special department is still looking for.
If they cannot be found, will the round-faced boy and others remain in a state of amnesia forever?
Gao Tianyi thought aimlessly and sat firmly in the conference room.
Whatever he says will be mixed up in the next action.
Seeing that he could not threaten, Xia Chengyin could only glare at the underage high school student fiercely. The adult clenched his fist and waved it, with an expression like "I will hit you on the head with my fist if you disobey me." Successfully It made the young man feel a little sluggish and no longer bouncing around like this.
The short-haired police officer then looked back and called a few names. The person who was named was called out. After a short time, he came to the first seat on the lower right.
The "evil friend" pushing the frame nodded to Xia Chengyin as a greeting.
Xia Chengyin: ...Is this meeting really okay?
As a person who could easily get into trouble with Tang Nuo without the pressure of a leader, Xia Chengyin looked away with self-knowledge and saved the argument for later.
The subsequent roll call was uneventful, with the names of two or three colleagues he knew well being read out until he came to the last one.
"..." Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the name, the short-haired police officer still felt his brows jump, "Bai Su?"
He raised a hand from directly behind the conference room and quickly lowered it. The black-haired young man with his head lowered was very distressed.
Bai Su held a pen in his hand, and in front of him was the report description that he could not escape no matter what.
In exchange, Captain Gu, the leader of the human race, said that if he wrote it down, it would be convenient for him. If he wanted to participate in the investigation of the cult in the future, he would arrange it.
So, now Bai Su started to make up some lies about the underground of the auto repair shop in front of the paper.
It feels good to lie for a while, but then you can lie in the crematorium.
Fortunately, the lies he told to humans accounted for less than 30%, and the rest was just as true.
He began to draw a maze on the paper in a twisting and turning manner, while drawing Baisu while responding to Xia Chengyin's questions.
"I am also a relationship person, right? Why can't this reason work? Isn't that what Gao Tianyi said before... a relationship person? Isn't that the one a few nights ago?"
"The work has been arranged, don't worry."
"I also said hello to Captain Gu, and he agreed."
Thousands of words of explanation were no match for the last sentence. Xia Chengyin reluctantly closed his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Bai Su looked at the short-haired police officer with an impatient expression, but he still put away the paper after calling the names, and knocked on the table with the folder to signal everyone's attention to look at him.
Bai Su also stopped writing and raised his head.
But he was not listening to someone's speech, but reminiscing about something.
When he went to see Captain Gu earlier, the other person looked at him a little strangely.
Wandering, thoughtful, and helplessly compromising.
