Chen Xuan suddenly woke up and sat on the bed, his chest heaving, his eyes widened, and he took deep breaths.
It's still late at night.
He swallowed, took the water that had been left overnight from the bedside, took a sip, sucking the cold water with his dry lips, and then breathed out a hot breath.
Holding his forehead, Chen Xuan forced his eyelids, lifted the quilt, washed his face with cold water, looked at the haggard and unfamiliar self in the mirror, and sighed.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had slept. He finally fell asleep today, but he woke up again.
Instead of going to sleep, Chen Xuan sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and typed out his thoughts on the document.
This is the request of Mayor Kong. Chen Xuan wants to make a summary of the concept of "ghost" he proposed as a reference and basis for subsequent tasks.
This was a very difficult task. Chen Xuan originally wanted to refuse. He felt that his ideas were not necessarily correct. If he misled the subsequent tasks, he would be in big trouble.
But with the encouragement of Director Zheng, Chen Xuan finally rushed to the shelves and took over the task.
That’s what I thought at the time, but when I actually started doing it, it wasn’t that difficult anymore.
Chen Xuan wrote down his thoughts bit by bit. As the sun gradually rose, Chen Xuan finally completed the final touches of the manuscript.
I sent the manuscript to Director Zheng, and Director Zheng immediately responded with a "thumbs up" gesture.
After a while, he replied again:
"It has been sent to Mayor Kong."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows. The efficiency was really high. The manuscripts released at the meeting naturally had to be reviewed by high-level officials. They could not talk nonsense. Like the privilege of the last task force, it was Mayor Kong who did not care about formality and was motivated by Things that can only be done in emergencies.
Chen Xuan put on his police uniform, looked at himself upright in the mirror, put on his hat, and walked towards the police station.
When I arrived at the police station, I found that everyone was frantically setting up the meeting scene. Even Director Zheng rolled up his sleeves and put his name tag on the table.
Chen Xuan saw the word "Kong Zheng" on the main seat at a glance and was a little surprised.
"Chen Xuan!"
"Why don't you come and help me! Put the mineral water on the table, and then put it with a tea cup. There must be two sets of hot and cold plans."
"what's up?"
Chen Xuan pretended to be working, picked up and put down the cup in his hand, and asked Director Zheng in a low voice.
"I didn't do it either. After I sent your report to Mayor Kong, he immediately arranged a meeting at our police station. Not only us, but all the leaders who had participated in the Ghost Task Force before came to our place. Meeting.”
"I'm afraid I have something important to announce."
Very important thing.
Chen Xuan didn't know why, so he started to get busy with everyone.
"Forget it, you should prepare your speech. I guess it has a lot to do with your report."
"Chen Xuan, you are famous now. From now on, you must remember your duty to serve the people..."
Chen Xuan automatically blocked the following speeches, and he did not prepare his own speech, because Kong Zheng arrived soon, followed by a lot of people, including Liu Mei, whom Chen Xuan had a crush on.
The two of them didn't communicate much. They each walked to their seats and sat down. The LED screen behind them changed to the theme of the meeting. People around them immediately poured hot water on them, and the hot water started to rise. Everyone sat upright.
"Everyone."
Kong Zheng said straight to the point:
"Everyone here is an old friend. Let me tell you straight away. The recent Bixian incident is extremely dangerous, and the chain of transmission has increased from six to ten."
"That means ten families are cursed every three days."
"Although a solution has been found to temporarily control the number of infection chains, it is unclear whether changes will occur due to other reasons in the future."
"For example, if Bixian changes again, for example... other ghosts appear again."
Kong Zheng said the last words very slowly, making everyone's hearts stop for a moment.
"We need guidelines."
"It doesn't need to be perfect, but we can't run around like headless flies and risk people's lives."
"Only by accepting good advice widely can we draw on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. Loyal advice may offend our ears. I hope everyone will not care about other people's harsh words."
"There is no need to restrict the order of the meeting. Everyone can speak more, and after one person has finished speaking, he can move on to the other."
There was a brief silence in the venue. After a while, Lin Feng raised his hand to express his opinion.
"I think we have to maintain our humanity when dealing with ghost cases."
Lin Feng was the leader of the second task force in the last operation. He was the captain of the customs and border defense. In the last case, his task force effectively controlled the chain of transmission, but in the end his plan was not adopted. He did not understand. .
Why did you choose an almost inhumane solution in the end?
He subconsciously poked the table with his fingers, frowned, and said angrily:
"First, to combat "ghost" incidents, we must handle incidents from a human perspective. As people's police officers, we must have the courage to rush to the front line and not be afraid of sacrifice."
"We should find ways to save the people. This is the meaning of our existence."
Thunderous applause erupted from the scene, and those who followed were also inspired to stand up and speak generously.
In the face of ghost incidents, we must fight with a spirit of fearlessness, not be afraid of fighting ghosts, and use human initiative to fight against aliens.
Chen Xuan sat in his seat, his eyelids drooping, while Mayor Kong frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
"Second, we must abandon the fear of ghosts. From ancient times to the present, the biggest fear is often due to our own imagination. This fear will amplify the influence of the other party. Although the pen fairy is scary, no matter what ghosts are in the future, Do we all have to be afraid?”
"What if there are ghosts that humans can fight against? We want to keep this possibility alive."
"Third, we must clearly realize that... the power of ghosts is advanced and is not threatened by firearms or detected by existing technology."
"We are powerless at this moment...but, I am human!"
"Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, are ghosts divided into good and bad, and are ghosts hostile? These are all existences that can be studied, so I have an idea..."
"We must learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control them!"
Lin Feng concluded:
"Use the power of ghosts to fight against ghosts."
At this point, Lin Feng's back straightened a bit, and City Mayor Kong Zheng sat up straight. These words were very important and determined what he would announce next. He looked at Lin Feng, with a little recognition in his eyes.
If the power of ghosts is ahead of its time, we should indeed accept and learn from it and not be closed off...
But the next moment, there was a burst of applause, followed by Chen Xuan's voice that spread throughout the conference room.
Chen Xuan blushed and said sternly:
"No, I firmly object!"
"I firmly oppose it and try to accept the power of ghosts."
