Backlund, Jowood District, an ambulance slowly parked in front of the hospital. The back door of the ambulance was suddenly opened. A patient completely wrapped in a restraint slid out of the car together with the stretcher. The ambulance had already been prepared. The prepared medical staff immediately took over the stretcher and rushed the stretcher toward the hospital with extremely skilled techniques. Immediately, several relaxed medical workers walked out of the ambulance one after another. They seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief. Get out of the car and slowly walk towards the hospital.
However, after entering the hospital, these doctors immediately changed their faces. They took off their white coats, revealing smart and easy-to-movement clothes. Looking at it now, they no longer have the temperament of medical workers, but more like They are...well-trained soldiers.
Nest Mental Sanatorium is, on the surface, a top-notch mental sanatorium with hospital qualifications that caters to the upper class. It specializes in treating mentally ill patients with wealthy families. The fees listed on the price list alone are enough to cover the needs of the upper class. Ordinary people are stunned.
But in fact, there is another identity here——
Victoria's MI9 headquarters in Backlund.
It is Victoria's official organization to deal with strange incidents.
…
"Thank you, Miranda." In the director's office, a woman of unknown age waved to the graceful Miranda.
"It's all the credit of C-21." After hearing this, Miranda handed over her handbag, and the charm on her body also calmed down. Although she still had a perfect figure that made people want to commit a crime, but that The peculiar charm that made it impossible to take your eyes away once you looked at it has disappeared quietly.
Until then, Miranda seemed to be relieved, relaxed her body slightly, and complained casually:
"This thing is useful for attracting criminals, but it's just too disgusting. It feels like being licked constantly!"
"If you want to use extraordinary power, there will always be some cost." The woman whose specific age could not be seen shook her head gently and put the handbag into a black safe. As the complicated lock clicked closed, she put a piece and a half The molten sealing paint pressed against the side of the box, stamped it, and then continued:
"How was the harvest?"
"The codename 'Shadow Ghost' has been effectively captured. We have found three magical items from him. His ability to sneak in the shadows should come from his tights, which can be presumed to be B-level items. The functions of the other two items are still It needs to be tested, but there should be no storage items, and no 'accompanying items' were found. It may be too early for us to take action."
Miranda shook her head with regret. The woman whose age could not be identified was recording something on the paper while raising her head and saying:
"There's no way, this idiot is too flamboyant in what he does. The Backlund Police Department also needs to give an explanation to the people, and the impact he has already made is not small. Let the news media spread the word, and maybe there will be a chance to get the 'companion items' '."
At this point, the woman changed the subject and said:
"Is C-103-2 easy to use?"
"The effect is not as good as flash bombs, but its effect on magical shadow items and ghosts has been proven, and it has very little impact on one's own side and has no sequelae. It should be distributed in batches."
Listening to Miranda's report, the woman nodded, made a few more notes on the white paper, and then said:
"You've worked hard these days, go and rest first. You and C-21 have the best compatibility. You may be required to participate in the 'Kitchen Demon' capture plan later."
Miranda, who was about to leave, heard the words 'Kitchen Demon', paused slightly, and then said: "Um, sir... do you think 'Kitchen Demon' is really a ghost?"
"I don't know, but judging from the logic of his behavior, it is in line with our current logical judgment of the ghost's behavior." The officer's tone was not very sure, and Miranda immediately asked:
"Judging from the eyewitness statements currently circulating, he is completely different from the known ghosts. He has the ability to communicate with humans, and he does not seem to be hostile to humans. This seems to violate the ghost model we established..."
After hearing Miranda's words, the female boss was silent for a moment and then said: "The abilities of magical items are all kinds of strange. It is not impossible for them to have telepathy and other abilities. Not to mention that these ghosts themselves are not stupid. One or two of them can appear. It’s not surprising that you learned Victorian. You have only been in this industry for a short time. You may not know that more than 20 years ago...well, in the 1990s, there was a ghost named 'AIDS Mary'... …”
"'AIDS Mary'? Isn't it 'Harry'? And isn't the source of that legend the revenge of some AIDS patients on society?" Miranda had a look of surprise on her face, but the female boss shook her head and said:
"In fact, it was a ghost that used people's fear of AIDS to spread its influence. I have to say that it was very smart and knew how to tie its legend to the feared disease. At that time, we were very familiar with the fear of AIDS. The ghost is not yet clearly understood, so that until it completes its weirdization and spreads completely, no effective response can be made.”
Having said this, the female boss picked up the water glass, drank a few sips, and then continued with Miranda's curious eyes:
“In fact, the AIDS Harry herself does not have AIDS, and the men she had sex with were ultimately proven to be just false alarms, but this does not mean that it does not have any harm.
"Since the rumors of 'AIDS Mary' spread, social discrimination against AIDS patients has also increased, and the darkness in the hearts of those patients who were already discriminated against has also been awakened by this incident. This has led to, after her, Many patients become imitators.
"In the beginning, the ghost did not have any 'disease', and the gift it gave was just a bad joke. But after it, there were countless Harrys, Hahns, Maris, and Marlenes, and the consequences of this incident The negative impact goes far beyond thugs like Shadow Ghost who only know how to break into homes and kill people."
Listening to her boss's deep words, Miranda felt her throat was a little clogged and said immediately:
"Are you worried that this kitchen devil will become as weird as AIDS Mary?"
"Who knows?" The female boss shook her head and responded calmly:
"If you ask the director, he will talk to you about many truths, tell you the sanctity of our work and the protection of the people, but I will only tell you to catch those ghosts, seize their magical items, and study them The secrets about you, as for the rest, I’ll think about it when you get to my position, do you understand?”
"Yes, sir!"
