At twelve o'clock at noon, the highest temperature in Tangcheng was 35 degrees.
As soon as Bincheng's video was sent out, all cities received push notifications. After watching the video, Chen Xuan hurried to Zhang Qifeng's side while the summer cicadas were chirping.
At this moment, Zhang Qifeng was still in the research institute, studying living cells through a microscope. He was surprised to know the existence of this video until Chen Xuan reminded him.
After watching the video, Zhang Qifeng took off his white gloves and showed a serious look like Chen Xuan's.
"I need to see information about the current situation in Bincheng."
"This is the death situation in Bincheng in recent times, as well as the current situation of Bincheng captured by drones."
Data shows that the death toll in Bincheng is indeed higher than that in other cities, but these individual deaths are traceable, either because of suicide or because of Taoist believers. As for the situation captured through drones, although the whole city is a bit messy, it is a less developed Bincheng after all. Such a simple scene is not doubtful, and people are living their lives normally.
No matter how they looked at the information, they didn't feel that a new ghost incident had occurred in the city.
But that's exactly what happened...the two of them had more and more goosebumps.
"That is to say...these suicides or homicides are most likely caused by a ghost incident. There are even many people who we think are normal, but have actually turned into monsters."
Zhang Qifeng scratched his head, followed the logic, then looked at Chen Xuan with suspicious eyes, and finally asked:
"Chen Xuan, how realistic do you think this video is?"
Zhang Qifeng is still hesitating. Nowadays, the world has changed, and everyone is highly alert to ghost incidents. All so-called ghost incidents will be constantly screened, but there are also many confusing incidents. When ghosts really exist, people who pretend to be ghosts There are more and more, causing the cities to become somewhat slack in retrieving information.
Chen Xuan was silent for a moment and then judged:
"It can't be fake."
"Even if they are all lying, 19 police officers may be able to speak the same language, which can already be called a ghost incident."
"The worst-case scenario is that everything they say is true."
"This also means that 'outside the common sense' has been quietly developing for so long, but we know very little about it."
"Only the victim can know the truth, but once he becomes a victim, there is only one way to die. In other words, all mankind now can only rely on these 19 police officers to transmit information for further research... The variables are too great ”
"If this is the case, we must be prepared for the worst and may... declare a full-scale war against the evil spirits at any time."
Once the situation reaches this point, it is not something that a few police officers can solve. The victims also need to restrain their behavior to keep innocent people away from the risk of being harmed. This means that the public needs to have direct contact with the ghosts.
Chen Xuan continued:
"Although the north is not a place where we directly govern, when necessary, we have to give our plans to assist the Party in governing Bincheng."
"Otherwise, once the problems in Bincheng spill over, sooner or later they will hit the south."
A fire breaks out at the city gate, affecting the fish in the pond. Once such strange events spread across the country, no one can stay away.
Now it would be great if the Shangdang could handle the "outside of common sense".
As the video continued to play back and forth, silence spread between the two of them, as they thought about what they would do if they were in this crisis.
But for a long time, I only got the concept of Chen Xuan.
"No solution."
"If it had been in the early stages of the outbreak, there might have been ways to deal with it like the Bixian incident...but now the scope of the impact is too large."
After Zhang Qifeng thought for a while, he finally shook his head and said:
"There is nothing I can do now... I have too little experimental time left, and many theories still need to be verified."
"And the emergence of new ghost incidents also takes time to study."
That is to say...
There is only one last option left.
Chen Xuan sighed helplessly. He looked at the messages that were constantly coming from his phone, which were urging him to immediately participate in the discussion of "outside the common sense" events.
If this meeting fails to produce a suitable result, Chen Xuan can only suggest Bincheng——
Lockdown.
...
...
This is a huge video conference. Due to the large number of people, people from each city need to sit in a conference room and be divided into many grids to display on the screen.
Although such discussions are not as efficient as face-to-face discussions, the situation is urgent and they have no way to organize another offline interview.
Chen Xuan sat on the chair. This familiar scene allowed him to meet many old acquaintances.
The leaders of the previous task force that solved the Bixian case, Liu Mei, Lin Feng, as well as Zheng Guofu from the police station, City Mayor Kong Zheng...
Obviously the time is not very long, just over half a month, but everyone has changed more or less. Huge sudden changes are taking place in Xia Kingdom every day, and they can only drag their tired bodies to resist. , and also made progress in the harsh environment.
The situation that was already under control changed drastically because of a video.
Chen Xuan looked at the other end of the screen again. The people in charge of each city were also arriving one after another. The leader Wu Chi in the middle walked tremblingly to his seat. He looked older, with as many wrinkles as sorrow on his face. .
There was no time for pleasantries. Every minute was precious. Wu Chi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said in a shocked tone:
"I believe everyone here has seen that video."
"Such a thing actually happened in Bincheng, which we passed by not long ago."
"I want to hear your opinions, Bincheng, please tell me first."
Wu Chi said this, and immediately asked the person in charge of Bincheng to start talking.
The person in charge of Bincheng is a man over fifty years old. His head is already half gray, and his brows and eyes are full of disbelief and unimaginability. After sorting it out for a long time, he finally said:
"Actually... we didn't know about this much earlier than you did."
"They didn't tell us in advance, maybe because the incident was reported and still under review..."
"I'm not asking you if you know now!!"
Wu Chi shouted suddenly, and the old voice was heard through the microphone in all the conference rooms. He used his crutch and poked the ground repeatedly, and the thumping sound was like piercing people's hearts.
This was the first time that Chen Xuan saw Wu Chi so angry. Before, he always looked like he was hiding a knife behind his smile, but now he was shaking so hard that the crutch was about to fall down several times, which was scary to watch.
He said tremblingly:
"You are derelict in your duties and derelict in your position!"
"But I don't want to ask these questions now!"
"I need a solution now, I need to save the people in Bincheng!"
