"Qiao...Good morning, Miss Qiao!"
"Good morning, Miss Qiao Jiang!"
"Miss Qiao Jiang came really early today."
"Yeah, it's still early before work. What's the matter with you?"
The pretty woman has already received a lot of greetings. It is still early in the day and far from the time to go to work, but for a special department with people on duty 24 hours a day, there is always someone on duty.
After Qiao Jiang entered the door, she smiled at the people who greeted her, making the people around her stunned. She didn't say why she came so early, she just clocked in according to the procedure and sat down in her seat.
There were many colleagues in the office who worked overtime all night. She thoughtfully handed them special coffee. After hearing the thank you, Qiao Jiang curiously went to the table of her colleagues to watch.
"What are you busy with?" Qiao Jiang leaned down slightly and asked.
My colleague who is also a female was not so affected by Qiao Jiang. She just poured a cup of coffee in succession and suddenly put the cup down, making a clear collision sound between the bottom of the cup and the table.
Then the female colleague pressed her forehead, pointed to the computer screen in front of her, sighed and said, "It's not about the white fog area before... I probably have new ideas now, and I'm sorting out the report."
Qiao Jiang asked if she could see it, and the female colleague stepped aside: "It's not confidential, these are public information."
Qiao Jiang took a closer look and found that it was a special department of human beings that connected the white fog area with the existence high in the sky in a certain uninhabited land.
She found it quite interesting and turned a few more pages.
She knew the white mist area, and she also knew the high altitude part of the no-man's land.
After flipping through it, she stood up, patted her colleague on the shoulder, and said thank you for your hard work.
"Alas..." the female colleague sighed again, "I've been too busy lately... I really envy you, Qiao Jiang, because you usually only have to be responsible for some external relations."
Although this was the case, there was no hint of jealousy in the female colleague's words, as if they were just ordinary sighs.
Qiao Jiang smiled and said nothing, and returned to his seat.
Not long after working, she got up in the middle, took a water glass, declined the attentive male colleagues and walked out, and met the black-haired young man coming towards her in the corridor.
Bai Su also saw Qiao Jiang standing in the middle of the corridor.
Then he found that there were a lot of people coming and going at work, so if he deliberately avoided them and walked back, it would be quite eye-catching.
The black-haired young man could only walk over. The beautiful woman waved to Bai Su naturally. Under the envious eyes of others, Bai Su received the invitation.
It's an invitation, just a few words to chat with while walking together.
I don't know if Qiao Jiang's appearance had a special effect, but no other humans came close during the entire chat.
Qiao Jiang's reason for coming was also very simple. He asked Bai Su about Baiwu District.
"That day really scared me. I thought you were going to start a war with someone." Qiao Jiang said jokingly.
Bai Su glanced at the person and narrowed his eyes.
It's not too wrong to say that the war started, but half of the people used dirty tricks to escape after the battle, and what followed was Bai Su's own loss of control.
Seeing that there was no special reaction, Qiao Jiang asked again: "Then you don't plan to deal with that white fog area?"
Bai Su asked this time: "Does it have any impact on you?"
Qiao Jiang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Not many people were there, so we only lost three or four eyes."
The beautiful woman spoke in an understatement, as if she had just thrown away a few trinkets.
Bai Su nodded and stopped.
"I don't plan to recycle it," the black-haired young man said. "That would be too much trouble."
Qiao Jiang shrugged after hearing this and said that he would avoid the white fog area with his eyes in the future.
The conversation between the two non-human beings did not mention anything related to humans. What changes will happen to human daily life and what kind of impact it will have in the future are not within their scope of consideration.
After the non-humans finished chatting, Qiao Jiang asked before leaving: "By the way, over there in the no-man's land..."
"What no man's land?" Bai Su interrupted before anyone could finish speaking.
The beautiful woman who was about to leave paused, turned around strangely, pointed her finger under her mole, and looked at the black-haired young man seriously for a while.
At the end, Qiao Jiang said: "It turns out you don't know anything."
The beautiful woman left after saying these words without explaining much, leaving Bai Su with his head tilted and frowning, thinking about what the other party meant.
Bai Su couldn't think of a reason for a short time, so he opened the door and entered the office next to him. He had been killing time at work for the past two days.
In fact, there isn't much work that the monster needs to do. His daily routine is just to sit there and follow whenever humans come to his door, and he can get a lot of money.
But today, the atmosphere in the office was slightly different. Everyone looked helpless and asked what happened. Human beings seemed to exhale a breath of fairy air.
The work is too tiring, the supernatural is too difficult to solve, there are too many things to do, and I am full of complaints.
While the human being was complaining, Bai Su suddenly caught a glimpse of the picture on the other person's screen. It was so white that the high bit rate made it impossible to see what it was.
But Bai Su was very concerned. He reached out and tapped the screen and said, "What is this?"
The human who was so tired that he was avoiding work glanced up and replied: "The sky in no man's land... Oh, for the sake of everyone's physical and mental health, it is a processed picture."
Bai Su didn't know why: "Why do you need to process the picture?"
The human head was pressed against the table, and a muffled voice came from below: "For the sake of everyone's brain."
Bai Su: "?"
Human team member: "That is to say... several people who faced this picture have not yet woken up. I heard that those who saw the original picture were also unconscious for a long time. This is the least harmful thing to people's mental harm that the department has debugged. "
Seeing that Bai Su hadn't responded yet, the human team members planned to raise their heads to see who had such poor understanding.
As soon as he raised his head, he collided with a pair of dead black eyes. He was startled for a moment, and then slightly distanced himself to take in the full view.
"It's...it's you." The human team member touched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly understood why he couldn't explain to others.
The world in Bai Su's eyes is different from that of the general public.
There is no unified answer within their special department as to what the differences are.
The human team members struggled to sit up and called up other pictures while turning their heads away and looking away.
"Then take a look at this picture...?" the human said tentatively.
What was displayed in front of Bai Su was a picture with a slightly clearer bit rate. Some of the fog had been wiped away, and the hazy white color was displayed in front of his eyes.
Bai Su's first feeling was that of intimacy.
The black-haired young man stretched out his fingers and touched the screen twice with a thoughtful look on his face.
High in the sky over no man's land... He seemed to have heard of it before.
Earlier, it was text plus pictures with no focus. That time, I flipped through the text and put it all over again. It was far less clear than this time when I faced the specific pictures directly.
If possible... he would like to see unprocessed pictures.
A few rays of light suddenly flashed across the eyes of the black-haired young man, and they quickly passed away.
The human team members have been secretly observing Bai Su's reaction. After discovering that Bai Su did not have any nausea, retching or loss of consciousness, they felt more and more that there was a rumor in the bureau that was correct.
——The black-haired young man named Bai Su is different from ordinary people.
After watching for a while, Bai Su finally let go of his hand and helped the human turn off the picture.
He casually asked: "Is your recent work related to this no man's land?"
The human team members murmured that it didn't matter. After all, the no-man's land was too far away from them. There were just some clues to deal with. Their focus now was on the white fog area in the city that couldn't be dispelled.
Mentioning the white fog area, the human team members lamented Baisu's luck. They were so lucky to wake up early in the hotel fog and find a gas mask.
"Ah... yes." Bai Su agreed lightly, "Qi Zhuyue and I are both very lucky."
Just as they reached the Baiwu District, someone knocked on the door from outside. Bai Su, who was chatting with a human, looked over and found that the person who pushed the door open a crack and poked her head over was a familiar-looking woman.
She looked around the door and found the person she was looking for in the office where few people were standing.
"B-Bai Su is here?" Her voice was a little soft, "Someone is looking for you."
The black-haired young man responded.
…
Da da da.
Bai Su walked in the corridor on the second underground floor.
Different from the noise on the ground floor, the lower floors are very quiet, only the bright incandescent lights above the head sway with the pace of people.
The underground here of the Special Department Branch... Bai Su has been here before, and he has been to the underground level.
That time he watched the human surnamed Zhang walk down carefully holding a bronze sword hilt, while helping others dispose of a room full of supernatural items.
Now that I think about it, I think it's quite delicious.
When passing by the underground floor, the black-haired young man swallowed, and the sound was particularly noticeable in the stairwell where there was only the sound of people walking.
It was obvious that the person leading the way was trembling inexplicably.
The woman with a weak voice touched her arm and rubbed it a few times through her clothes. She was still a little cold.
The female team member walking in front turned around and asked Bai Su if he was hungry because he didn't have breakfast.
"Breakfast?" His black eyes blinked, and the black-haired young man who had never been to the cafeteria replied, "I have eaten, but I suddenly felt a little hungry."
Greedy, is there anything greedy here?
The woman who led the way looked away blankly and glanced at the side passage. The underground floor was empty, and all the doors were closed.
On the underground floor, there are some temporary or supernatural items that need to be handed over.
Not understanding what Bai Su was craving for, the female team member leading the way had no choice but to continue walking down. The second underground floor was more popular. Not long after setting foot on it, a familiar face came from the front.
"Ah, it's you." The human doctor surnamed Yuan waved his hand as a greeting. His overall state was much more reserved than the previous two meetings, and he no longer had the familiar and enthusiastic attitude.
Seeing this, Bai Su tilted his head and asked, "Is it back to normal?"
The human doctor scratched his head and changed the topic with a haha: "It's been over for a few days...why are you here."
Seeing that the person didn't want to talk about his previous enthusiasm, Bai Su didn't stick to the original topic. Instead, he raised his chin and said, "Someone wants to ask me something."
The human doctor turned around and said, "It's you. So the person they asked you to find is his? Then I'll lead the way, and you can go do your work."
After saying that, the human doctor waved his hand.
The female team member who led the way bowed immediately and looked like she really had a lot of work to do. She thanked her and left immediately.
The remaining human doctors and Bai Su were able to chat for a few words, and finally they were no longer as embarrassed as before.
The human doctor surnamed Yuan introduced that the bottom two floors of this branch are mainly used for the detention and treatment of some secret personnel. To put it mildly, shady prisoners are placed down there.
"I just saw it, it seems there are three underground floors?"
"Ah? Then there is a locked door going down. It is for evacuation. It will not be opened under normal circumstances."
Just as he was talking, the target room arrived.
Although Bai Su knew who was inside the door, he still pretended to be curious.
The human doctor stepped forward and opened the door, said "Excuse me" and walked in, followed closely by Bai Su.
Sitting on the bed inside the door was a middle-aged man who was said to have just woken up.
The middle-aged man was originally in a calm mood, but the moment he looked up and saw Bai Su, he let out a piercing scream and struggled to break free from the shackles of the people around him, trying to hide himself.
The human doctor was so frightened that he took half a step back. His movement caused Bai Su behind him to also retreat. The middle-aged man slowly became quiet.
The human doctor pointed at himself strangely, but soon he realized that it was not him that the middle-aged man was afraid of.
"He's afraid of you." said the human doctor named Yuan, who looked at Bai Su outside the door strangely, "Why is he so afraid of you?"
The black-haired young man showed an innocent smile.
Bai Su then walked past the doctor's position. As he approached, the middle-aged man's reaction became more intense.
Faced with human questions about what he had done, Bai Su answered calmly: "Probably... I fired a shot? And then accidentally hit him?"
In an instant, those people in white coats felt a little afraid of Bai Su. Anyone who had treated middle-aged men knew how harmful the bullet was to people.
Didn't you see it? A middle-aged man's leg was broken, and for quick treatment, the only option was amputation.
This made the middle-aged man's screams and struggles confined to the bed. Even if he ran to the ground, he would not be able to stand steadily without external support.
Bai Su had no idea about the middle-aged man's fear. He turned his head calmly and asked the human why he came to him.
The person being questioned was a young girl. She was being tortured by the middle-aged man's shouting and covered half of her ears. After hearing Bai Su's question, she said: "I want to ask you if there is any way to calm him down... ...We have already looked for Miss Qi, but there is nothing we can do."
"Calm down." Bai Su repeated, "Let me think about it."
He looked around the ward and saw nothing useful.
Then Bai Su said that he wanted to go out.
The black-haired young man went out and heard the distant footsteps as he walked upstairs. Within ten minutes, he came back again.
Bai Su returned with a gun in his hand.
Bai Su actually borrowed a pistol from an unknown police officer upstairs. Bai Su took a step forward and pressed the gun against the forehead of the screaming middle-aged man.
Almost the moment the cold gun barrel touched his skin, the middle-aged man became quiet and his pupils shrank to a very small size.
"Look, isn't it quiet now?" the black-haired young man said, and the gun slowly moved down, aiming at the middle-aged man's empty leg, "Bang!"
The middle-aged man fell to the ground and could not get up again.
However, there was no smell of gunpowder smoke in the air in the room, only the slowly closing lips of the black-haired young man.
The sound of the gunfire was simulated, but it scared the middle-aged man to the point of peeing in his buttocks.
Human weapons...are quite useful for scaring people.
