Outside the big office, Mou Ling walked around the big office twice while scanning the indifferent half-length photos posted on the wall.
She got rid of distracting thoughts and released her psychic powers to the maximum. Every time she walked to an office cubicle, she would check the staff in that cubicle.
At this time, these staff members were rummaging through the modified information in the computer, taking notes with pen and paper from time to time. She noticed that several people's records had the same two words written on them.
While walking around the office, Mou Ling was also carefully memorizing the indifferent appearance of the bust on the wall.
Although this appearance is indeed very ordinary and has no special memory points at all, Mou Ling is still convinced that he has memorized it.
Then, in a way that only she could perceive, she began to telepathically sense the invisible person bit by bit.
"In addition to the ignored characteristics, there should be auxiliary characteristics that can allow people next to him to ignore him and have other ideas in their minds."
"This kind of idea is contagious to a certain extent. If there are five or six people in a room at the same time, these people will infect each other with the extra thoughts in their minds while ignoring their consciousness, or let other people know through some subconscious behaviors. People perceive and create a certain degree of false understanding, and finally reach a consensus.”
"In this false consensus, ignoring people's consciousness will be more serious. If there is no external interference, they will even be unable to get out of this consensus for a long time. So..."
Mou Ling slowly raised his head and looked at the row of busts of people on the wall.
"When there are a lot of people, it will be more troublesome if you are attacked by someone who ignores them. It is not that the more people gather together, the better. Otherwise, once a false consensus is reached, it can almost be regarded as total annihilation!"
"Spread out, it's best to spread out!" Mou Ling muttered to himself.
At this moment, a ray of light appeared in the dark place in her mind that was originally filled with darkness. Although it could not dispel the darkness, the light remained for a long time and became more and more stable.
The psychic power of the blind people appears!
Mou Ling sensed carefully: "Pay attention, he is afraid of being noticed! As long as he remains highly focused on any strange situation around him, whether it is people, things or a different feeling in his heart, it will make him feel uneasy. There is a certain chance Break out of neglect!”
Mou Ling quickly returned to Ding Wenying's office, pushed open the door, and saw Feifei sitting alone on the sofa reading a book, with a cup of steaming boiled water next to her.
"Feifei, where are your Uncle Ding and Uncle Zhou?" Mou Ling asked.
Feifei looked up at her and replied: "I just went out. I think I'm in the office next door. I said I could call them if I need anything."
Mou Ling nodded: "Don't go out. There are uncles and aunts outside. It's safe to stay here."
After saying that, he closed the door and walked to the door of the next room. He saw that it was the office of team leader Gu Fei.
However, Gu Fei was not here. Instead, Ding Wenying, Zhou Dao and others temporarily used this office.
Mou Ling knocked on the door, and soon a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Mou Ling pushed open the door and walked in. The furnishings of this office were not much different from that of Ding Wenying's office next door. The only difference was that the office area was slightly larger and there were more plants.
There were four people sitting inside. In addition to Ding Wenying and Zhou Dao, there were two team members sitting beside them. The four people were staring at the multiple video surveillance cameras on the wall.
This is the room setting that belongs exclusively to the team leader Gu Fei. The walls are usually the same as ordinary walls, and there is nothing special about them. But if you find the button to open this wall, you will find that there is a whole wall of videos inside. monitor.
At this moment, only the four surveillance cameras in the middle are on, and the rest are off. In the surveillance videos that are on, you can see the picture of Shen Xing in the archives room.
At this moment, in the archives room, Shen Xing stood alone in the empty room, with no one around him. He seemed to be talking to the air, and then walked to the filing cabinet and looked through some paper materials.
Not long after, he came to the computer again, clicked to open many windows, and checked them one by one.
Not only that, Shen Xing said something and walked to the back of the filing cabinet. Part of that place was in a surveillance blind spot and nothing could be seen.
But not long after, he walked out again while saying something.
From beginning to end, Mou Ling didn't see anyone else in the archives room.
"What... is going on?" Mou Ling stared at the surveillance video in surprise.
She said she was surprised, but in fact her face was still cold and paralyzed, and only a part of the surprise could be sensed from her tone.
Zhou Dao pointed to the surveillance screen and said, "This is a secret surveillance we installed that can only be opened by team leader Gu Fei. You can see the pictures in the archives room."
"I mean, why is Shen Xing there alone?" Mou Ling continued to ask.
"Well, he asked for it himself." Ding Wenying explained. "Just before he went to the archives, he refused to wear our vest. I asked him why, and he said the vest was too ugly. Then he told me that he was going alone. That’s it, and it’s best to tell the other guys in the archives in advance to retreat before he goes down.”
"Why do you do this? Didn't I see him leaving with Brother Zhou?" Mou Ling was puzzled.
Zhou Dao replied: "I deliberately walked with him for a while, and after he came downstairs, I turned back. The reason for this was that Shen Xing said he wanted to attract people to show up. If there were many people, maybe the guy wouldn't be like this Show up, and if there are few people, the chance of ignoring people showing up will increase several times."
"Well, that's true." Mou Ling nodded, which was quite consistent with her speculation and inspiration just now.
However, seeing Shen Xing performing alone in the archives room now, and seeing no one ignoring him, it seemed even weirder.
Zhou Dao seemed to know what Mou Ling was thinking, and then explained: "From the moment he entered the elevator on the negative floor alone, we noticed something was wrong in the surveillance. Because at that time Shen Xing started talking to the air next to him, and then in the file The same is true in the room, and it seems that there is more than one person."
"When he entered the originally blocked stairwell, we almost sent someone down, but fortunately he returned to the archives room." Ding Wenying added at this time.
"There should be an extra consciousness in his mind now, a false consciousness." Mou Ling approached the monitoring screen and carefully watched Shen Xing's every move inside.
"Well, has your psychic power appeared?" Zhou Dao felt a little excited, "Shen Xing told me before he went down just now that this ignorant person might have an auxiliary skill tentatively designated as preconception, which is to let people in their minds. A preconceived idea emerges, causing the person to act according to that idea, and then completely ignore the existence of the person."
Mou Ling nodded heavily and continued: "Not only that, when this preconceived idea arises, there can't be too many people in the room...for example, like we are now, otherwise there will be an illusion of consensus, everyone's thoughts Everyone will be infected."
"Is that so?" Ding Wenying was stunned, and then said to the two team members beside him who were recording suspicious points in the video: "You guys go out first and wait for orders."
Two team members: "..."
Mou Ling added: "Please inform other team members not to gather together, but to keep their distance in small groups. If you feel strange in your heart, or have other thoughts, or see special people or things, immediately maintain this concentration and stare at them. If you tighten this feeling, you will ignore others and be afraid of being noticed."
After the two team members stood up and left the office one after another, Mou Ling said again: "Looking at the video, it seems that there is no one ignoring the presence of Shen Xing."
Zhou Dao nodded: "Ignorant Man is probably using his preconceived auxiliary characteristics to ask Shen Xing to find the final clue for him."
"Is Shen Xing in danger?" Mou Ling asked.
"When he went down, he told us not to worry, because he just wanted to lure people into taking the bait, so he was already prepared accordingly. But..." At this point, Ding Wenying shrugged, "You also know that we are very fond of you. The control of certificate holders is open and we will not ask you about your special abilities, but we will try our best to ensure your safety."
Zhou Dao also nodded: "You may not know Shen Xing as well as I do. If you dare to do this, I believe that he must have a way to get rid of the preconceptions and ignored characteristics of the Ignorant Man. The most important thing now is to determine what the purpose of the Ignorant Man is here. , once it is determined, we will change from passive to active, and the guy will never be able to run again."
…
"I feel like I forgot something!"
Shen Xing held the file information in both hands and looked up at the man who was quickly searching for something in front of the computer.
The thin man obviously heard what he said, but he still didn't look back. He just replied: "Have you forgotten so soon? Find something from the anomaly."
Shen Xing was stunned and said to himself: "Is this what I forgot?"
"Look for it quickly. Now is your chance. Time is running out." The man's eyes never left the computer screen.
Shen Xing found that his eyesight was surprisingly good, and he could clearly see what information the man was looking for in this direction.
He lowered his head and continued to rummage through the paper information.
After a moment, he asked: "Can you tell me what is the anomaly we are looking for?"
The thin man said: "You are not looking for an abnormality, but something abnormal?"
"what?"
"I don't know how to describe it specifically." The thin man replied: "This is a feeling. If you find something from an anomaly that has a special feeling for you, tell me immediately and I can identify it."
"good."
Shen Xing nodded and continued to look down at the information.
He organized the information that the people in the archives room had just checked one by one to make it look less messy, then put the checked ones on one side and the unchecked ones on the other side.
Pick up a file and keep searching.
He had no doubt that he could have special feelings about something from an anomaly. Anyway, the thin man told him that he could do so, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
After flipping through it for a moment, a strange feeling arose in his heart. This was not because of the information Shen Xing was looking for at the moment, but because of the memory just now. The picture in the memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
He put down the file information in his hand, came to the pile of information that he had checked, quickly flipped through it, and then pulled out a piece of paper.
On this piece of paper, it is the round anomaly with two thin legs and a tail.
The guy's chest and abdomen were completely torn open, and most of his internal organs were leaking out. One of the bloody flesh threads was pulled out, and there was a small heart at one end.
Shen Xing stared at the picture for a long time, then raised the picture in his hand to the thin man who was searching in front of the computer: "Come and see, is it this?"
The man immediately stood up and walked quickly over. He leaned in front of the picture in Shen Xing's hand and looked at it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Where did you find it? Take out the relevant text information and take a look."
While saying this, he never reached out to take the picture, nor did he flip through the stack of information himself.
Shen Xing put down the picture, then picked up the file he pulled out, turned to the unusually round material, and pointed at the words on it.
"It's called a meat ball, and it's abnormally deformed. It was discovered in Heshan about fifty years ago. It can transform into a living body of the same size as it has seen before, but the only drawback is that after the transformation, its heart will emit green light. , emitted through the muscles and skin, so after the transformation, the meat ball will cover the heart area with clothes or other things."
"The meat ball likes to find its original body as a target after transforming. At an unexpected moment, it will stand in front of its original target to scare the opponent, thereby stimulating fear and generating pleasure. Whenever the target is frightened to death, it will look for another one. A living body that can produce strong fear emotions is used as the next target, and this is repeated."
"In the 51st year of the Chinese calendar, Rouqiu was dead when he was found by special investigators in Heshan, and his body was torn apart. After forensic analysis and identification, it was found that Rouqiu's body was torn apart by external force, and was in a state of irregular force. Later. According to the analysis by the leader of the Heshan special team at the time, Meatball's emotions were full and in a highly excited state when he died, and he should have just absorbed a lot of fear."
"So the special team concluded that without finding a suitable human, animal or other living body, it frightened an anomaly of the same kind by copying and transforming. After the anomaly was aroused with strong fear emotions, it killed the meat ball. Die and escape.”
"Damn, what an idiot!" Shen Xing couldn't help but blurt out after reading this.
The thin man didn't seem to care, and continued to urge: "There should be more behind, keep looking."
Shen Xing nodded: "Well, after forensic anatomy, the heart of the meat ball can emit a... trace element, but the Heshan Research Laboratory cannot identify this element, so the whole heart was secretly sent for in-depth research and identification."
Once here, Shen Xing raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.
The man frowned and said, "There should be more later. Check to see if there are any relevant text descriptions behind these materials."
Shen Xing turned the information to the back, looked at it carefully, then pointed at a sentence with his index finger and said: "There is a sentence here that does not look like it was entered by the person who entered the file before, but a piece of feedback from the other unit. .”
"What are you talking about?" The man seemed unable to see the words on the paper and just stared into Shen Xing's eyes.
"An abnormal fleshy heart from Heshan has been accepted. The surface of the heart is incomplete, with a completeness of 96, and there are suspected traces of cutting."
"Okay." At this time, the thin man suddenly said, "You can put down the information."
Shen Xing put down the information in his hand and looked at him puzzledly. He saw the man suddenly pull out a sharp and shiny knife from somewhere on his body and said to him: "Look, this is a knife. If he inserts it, If it goes into your heart, will it hurt?"
"It will hurt." Shen Xing nodded.
"Then will you die?" the man asked again.
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded again: "I will die."
"Let's give it a try." The man grinned and thrust the sharp knife into Shen Xing's heart.
The next second, an extremely severe pain hit Shen Xing's body.
