I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

Kong Xiuyuan and others who came back from outside gathered together to watch several newly brought surveillance videos.

I am seeing this paragraph about Wei Xuan Shang.

In the video, she walked into the supermarket normally, pulled out a shopping cart, and went to the fruit section first. After buying some fruits, I went to the snack area and picked out snacks that were almost half the size of the shopping cart.

At this time, she pushed the shopping cart and turned around and walked towards the checkout counter. It could be seen that she had finished shopping and was ready to check out.

But halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and then his body began to tremble as if he was having an epilepsy.

And this area happens to be the area where knives are sold.

About half a minute later, she suddenly turned around and rushed to the shelf, took a fruit knife from it and held it in her hand.

"Quickly open!"

In the video, she walked towards the crowd while shouting for them to get away.

"I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill! I don't want to! I don't want to!"

It can be seen from her body movements in the video that she tried her best to control herself, but her body was affected by unknown factors and was not under control at all.

The people around him immediately dispersed, and in the panic, a little girl aged two or three was pushed to the ground, crying for her mother.

Seeing that the fruit knife was about to stab the little girl, and when he was less than half a meter away from her, Wei Xuanshang suddenly braked and changed lanes - and turned the knife towards himself.

The sharp fruit knife carved a deep blood mark on her thigh, and the blood instantly soaked into her jeans.

"Ahhh!" Wei Xuanshang threw away the fruit knife, knelt on the ground and roared in pain, "I don't want to kill anyone! I don't want to kill anyone! This is not my idea, get out of my head!"

……

"So at that time there was a voice in your head controlling you, driving you to hurt others. But you were unwilling and would rather stab yourself than do anything to others."

"Yes." She nodded, "I don't want to hurt others, they are all innocent."

"But it felt so terrible at the time." When she mentioned this, her eyes were immediately filled with fear. "It not only affected my mind, but also took over my body. I felt like every muscle and bone in me was... To act according to its instructions and no longer under my control.”

"It told me to kill people, kill a lot of people. What's even more frightening is that there were many moments when I didn't feel that it was against me, but that its instructions were a normal thing, and that killing people was a normal thing. It’s a normal thing.”

"I can't control my depravity."

"Can you understand what that feels like?"

"But you defeated it in the end." Wei Xuanshang looked at her eyes covered with water mist and said seriously: "You are very consultative and very powerful."

"There are many people in the same situation as you, but so far I have only seen you successfully control yourself and not harm others."

After listening to her words, the girl seemed to have been effectively comforted, and the trembling of her body slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She looked at Wei Xuanshang again with eyes full of trust.

"……This is what I should do."

"Think carefully. Before what happened today, had you ever encountered anything strange? Or had you had a strange feeling at a certain moment?"

The girl was silent for a while, thinking seriously about Wei Xuanshang's question.

"I didn't remember anything strange," she said, "but I felt a strange feeling, as if I had it once."

"When?"

"Three days ago," she said, "I was working at the company, and I had a few words with a colleague when I went to get a cup of tea. But after the conversation, I didn't even remember how I got back to my seat. It seemed that I had finished talking to her. I sat down in my seat in the blink of an eye after saying that, and the two minutes in between seemed to have been cut off."

Wei Xuanshang's eyes lit up: "Tell me in detail."

"What were you talking about at that time? Tell me all the details you can recall."

"We didn't talk about anything, just some work matters." At this point, she suddenly paused, "But one thing is really strange."

"I was making coffee and she kept asking me to look at her when she came up to me and was talking to me."

"But she is actually a very introverted and socially anxious person. She usually chooses to leave late or take the safe passage directly to avoid running into each other in the elevator when commuting. But that day, she actually took the initiative to talk to me and even He took the initiative to look me in the eye."

"Tell me her information." Wei Xuanshang immediately stood up from his chair.

……

However it was still too late.

As soon as she left the interrogation room, she received the latest news from the front line - with police on duty everywhere, eight more similar cases occurred in the city in less than two hours.

Among the people who were brought back, there happened to be the colleague Wei Xuanshang mentioned.

……

"I currently have two guesses. One is that the people behind the attack sneaked into Hangzhou a long time ago, secretly used evil spells on many ordinary citizens, and then rushed to trigger the attack in the past two days."

"There is another situation. I suspect that this situation is like the influenza virus, which is contagious. And its spread speed is far beyond our imagination." Kong Xiuyuan frowned, "And, until now, we We don’t know how it spreads.”

In the current situation, he would rather be in the first situation.

Because in that case, it means that the number of people currently under the spell is limited. The Evil Suppression Department has launched an all-round operation to close the net. Those who secretly sow the seeds of evil thoughts will either abscond or be caught sooner or later. As long as there is an end, everything is controllable.

But in the second case, before they figure out the mechanism of transmission and find a solution, the number of people infected is already determined to rise geometrically. This situation is very scary.

"Bang." The door to the room was pushed open, and Wei Xuanshang walked in quickly from outside.

"I've asked for a clue that may be very crucial."

She shared the information she obtained from Wei Xuanshang.

"Looking at each other, eyes..." Kong Xiuyuan began to think deeply.

"Eyes!" About two minutes later, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "I know!"

"Xuan Shang, we may need Minister Wang's help."

……

Two hours later, the logistics headquarters of the evil department in Jinling Town.

Looking at the names and photos of nearly a thousand personnel submitted by the Data Department, the battle-hardened Wang Hongda couldn't help but be surprised: "There are actually so many."

"If this conjecture is true, then in order to ensure that no fish slip through the net, we have doubled the statistical scope." The staff member who submitted the report explained, "Only half of these people are high-risk lurkers, and the rest Half of it is that we let the data make a prediction in advance and postpone the intervention time by 24 hours."

"What this list means is the people who are already 'infected' but are still in the incubation period inferred from the currently known 'infected' samples, as well as the high-risk and low-risk people who may be 'infected' until 12 o'clock tomorrow night. A collection of at-risk groups.”

"How confident are you that the conjecture of 'eye-to-eye communication' is correct?" Wang Hongda held the paper document in his hand and looked at Kong Xiuyuan, "A thousand people, this is not a small number."

"If we want to intervene against these people, at least half of the staff of the logistics department must be allocated. It is at the critical moment of closing the network, and this will undoubtedly cause a great burden on us."

Kong Xiuyuan did not answer immediately. Wang Hongda's suspicion was correct. If this was a deliberate cover-up, dispatching half of the logistics staff would indeed affect the progress of closing the network.

"Where did Wei Xuanshang go?" Wang Hongda asked again.

It was she who contacted him, but he still hasn't seen her in person.
