The flash of the camera brought Zhou Qi back to his senses. He suddenly realized that he had been sent to the Public Security Bureau to be photographed and registered.
"Turn around, sideways." Someone commanded not far away.
Zhou Qi turned around silently.
Click!
"Turn back, the other side."
Click!
"Okay, take it away."
"..."
Two policemen stepped forward and escorted Zhou Qi away.
Not far away, the policeman operating the computer couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the photos: "This guy looks so polite and polite, doesn't he look like someone with hidden agendas? How can he be so bold, rob, kidnap, assault the police... and so on?" Is there anything he wouldn’t dare to do?”
Then he turned around and asked:
"I said, with his thin arms and legs, is he really as powerful as you say? He could knock you all down in just three or two strokes?"
Standing next to him was a young man who looked ordinary and was wearing plain clothes. However, he was one of the members of the operation to capture Zhou Qi.
The young man had a complicated expression. He looked at Zhou Qi's photo and the direction Zhou Qi was leaving. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before saying:
"...It's really awesome."
"...Tsk," the policeman operating the computer smacked his lips when he heard this, and said for a long time, "That's really shameful."
——
the other side,
Zhou Qi was taken to an interrogation room.
In the fairly spacious room, the walls are neatly painted white and blue, and the tables and chairs are beige.
There are no windows, but the overall tone is bright and it looks quite comfortable.
There are no barriers such as iron bars or glass in front of the prisoner's position. There is only a lone special chair with iron bars inside to fix the body and connect the handcuffs.
When Zhou Qi sat down, he could see the words "Leniency for those who confess, Sternness for those who resist" posted on the wall in front of him, as well as the camera.
Then, the policeman handcuffed his hands on the chair and told him, "Just wait here for a while."
Then he turned and left.
Zhou Qi was the only one left in the interrogation room.
"..."
Zhou Qi shook his arms and found that he couldn't even raise his hands, but he was not angry. He just looked around with interest and said to himself:
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
Counting it all together, the last time he dealt with officials and law enforcement personnel in normal times was before he was reborn more than a dozen times.
In these dozen starts, although his behavior was relatively casual, he did whatever he wanted.
But because he didn't have any major conflicts with others and just prepared silently, he didn't attract much official attention until the end of the world.
In other words, the last time he came to this kind of place was at least sixty or seventy years ago.
And this time...
It was actually a bit unexpected.
First of all, the time until the end of the world is relatively short, and he is in a place with a lot of people, so he must leave as soon as possible.
As a result, just because he had been entangled with that woman for a while, things began to develop beyond his control.
One small incident after another, handled casually again and again, coupled with the woman's secret operation, directly connected all the contradictions together at the last moment.
As a result, he inevitably came into contact with the authorities.
Of course, the most important thing is that the end has not come...
That's why he ended up like this.
"Oh, what should I say... fate plays tricks on people?"
Tired of looking at it, Zhou Qi withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the chair, and sighed inexplicably.
He kept track of the time in his mind. From the time of the "doomsday outbreak", which was 12 o'clock, to now, almost forty or fifty minutes had passed, but the world still remained unchanged.
There is no tidal force field that comes and goes,
No one becomes a monster,
There are no earth-shattering disasters or strangely twisted rules.
On the way to the police station, no loud commotion broke out anywhere, nor did any unexpected changes occur.
But...did he really not come?
Although, the doomsday comes countless times at the same time - 12 o'clock on May 30, 2222.
but……
[Don’t take past experience for granted to face the future. 】
This is a rule he learned through bloody lessons after being reborn countless times.
What if it just didn’t come here and came somewhere else?
What if it was just a different way?
Zhou Qi wanted to break free from the handcuffs, run outside and tell everyone loudly, believe me, the end may still come, maybe it's just a little late, maybe it's already come... But at this moment, he suddenly felt tired,
So he did nothing but slowly closed his eyes.
In the rare calm, time passed little by little.
After my thoughts calmed down, I couldn't help but think of the sentence I heard not long ago:
[What would you do if...the end really didn't come? 】
Zhou Qi replied:
【Then you didn’t come. 】
But in fact, what he really meant was that he didn't know what to do.
Because this was the first time he had ever experienced "the end has not come".
I don’t know if it’s the last time.
At this time, he felt very confused,
It might be said that I woke up from a big dream, but it didn't look like it. Instead, it felt like I was dreaming.
The nightmare-like scene was still vivid in his mind. Well, after all, just three hours ago, he was still in a hellish doomsday environment.
Thinking back carefully, he suddenly found that the doomsday experiences he experienced again and again became more real to him.
Because he has lived in the apocalypse much longer than he has lived as an ordinary person in a normal environment. If he really does not consider those survival and crisis issues and only considers real life, he has almost forgotten that before this year, What I experienced during those eighteen years as an ordinary person...
Click.
squeak——
The sound of a door being opened.
Zhou Qi slowly opened his eyes, straightened up, and found that the person coming was Zhang Xiansheng and a young female police officer.
They sat down, one facing Zhou Qi and the other sitting at the table.
Perhaps because he was in a safe environment, Zhang Xiansheng looked very kind. He smiled and asked, "Are you tired?"
Zhou Qi shook his head: "I'm not tired, but it hurts a little. That woman was too cruel."
"Haha," Zhang Xiansheng was a little amused when he heard the complaining tone. He leaned back in his chair and said, "My niece has never suffered a loss since she was a child. She must be angry when she is kidnapped by her own students this time. It’s normal to focus on what to start with.”
"You are really good at making things up," Zhou Qi also smiled: "Professor Su's family is not ordinary. If you have such a random relationship, you may be dismissed from your post and wear your shoes."
"..." Zhang Xiansheng's smile froze, and the policewoman sitting next to him taking notes couldn't help but laugh too.
She was used to seeing Zhang Xiansheng use coaxing and deception to deal with prisoners, but this was the first time she saw him see through him.
"Ahem..." Zhang Xiansheng was not embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, "So you admitted to kidnapping Professor Su?"
"I didn't kidnap her."
"But we all saw it."
"I'm afraid that when the end comes, she will become..."
"Stop for a moment, let's put aside hypothetical events like the end of the world for a moment, and now let's talk about what has already happened."
"..." Zhou Qi pondered for a moment: "Have you asked her to take notes?"
"not yet."
"Then let me... explain in detail?"
"Go ahead," Zhang Xiansheng looked at him deeply: "Tell the truth, sophistry and lying are meaningless and will only waste your time."
Zhou Qi's face gradually showed amusement: "Well... let me put it this way, the main reason for this accident is based on a teacher's responsibility for the students, rather than a long-planned kidnapping or any purposeful kidnapping. ...First we had a conflict in class. Because I was depressed and had nightmares, I deliberately sensationalized and made doomsday remarks, and in the process accidentally knocked down two students."
Zhang Xiansheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Accidentally?"
Zhou Qi nodded: "Yes, the whole class can testify."
Because they didn't see it clearly...
Zhang Xiansheng nodded and said: "Continue."
Zhou Qi looked serious: "Then, I ran out and drove my car to leave, but Professor Su chased me all the way out, blocked the road, and got into my car..."
"Wait, is that your car?"
"Oh, yes, that car is not mine, but was lent to me by my friend Lin Rui. Others can confirm it. You can always ask classmates at the scene, such as my other friend Li Qing, to testify..."
"..." The corner of Zhang Xiansheng's mouth twitched.
This kid just said that I could make it up...
He said angrily: "Then let me ask, why did your friend Lin Rui fall to the ground and why is he still lying in the hospital?"
"Hmm..." Zhou Qi showed a thoughtful expression: "I don't know about this. It may be because he suddenly suffered from some disease. We have to wait until he wakes up..."
"Okay, let's continue talking about you and Professor Su."
"Well, Professor Su took the initiative to get in my car. After listening to me express my worries, he said that he would let me go to the abandoned factory in the western suburbs of Zhonghai. He said that it was a good place to relax and relieve stress, and he wanted to teach me a lesson. ...Unfortunately, because she was in such a hurry, she was misunderstood as a kidnapping and called the police. Well, as for tying her up with a rope, it was purely at her request. I think it may be because of her personal hobbies..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Zhang Xiansheng couldn't help but waved his hand, and then covered his forehead.
After a few seconds, he put down his hand: "Then why did you attack the police later?"
"..." Zhou Qi looked innocent: "Assaulting the police? How dare I? Didn't I get arrested before I could resist?"
"..." The air became quiet.
The only sound left in the room was the rustling of the policewoman's writing.
After a few seconds, she stopped writing and looked up at Zhang Xiansheng.
Zhang Xiansheng nodded.
The two stood up and left the room.
But two minutes later,
Zhang Xiansheng opened the door and walked in alone.
Finally he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, let's talk about the treatment."
