Strangers

"

"It's okay, are you at his house?"

"I said Uncle Policeman." The woman pinched her waist, "This house is shared. I live in my room, and he lives in his room. Why am I in his house?"

"That's fine." Wei Yuanyang said, "Let's go to his room and have a look."

But the woman blocked the door: "Do you have a search warrant, or else it's considered trespassing."

Wei Yuanyang stopped for a moment.

"No license!" Lei Ting fended off her, "Urgent search, if you don't accept the complaint, go to the police! Wei Yuanyang, Third Brigade of Traffic Patrol, police number 796523!"

"You just sold me!" Wei Yuanyang followed.

"If you don't sell it to someone else." Lei Ting pushed away from the bedroom.

On the bed, a naked man and woman wrapped in a blanket in horror.

Lei Ting frowned, glanced at the man, and then at Du Yiqun's photo in the copy: "It's not like that."

"Of course it doesn't look like it!" The woman rushed in hastily, "This is my room!"

"Oh." Lei Ting nodded, "That's a mistake, you guys continue."

The woman stomped her feet: "I want to complain! Complain now!"

Lei Ting turned around: "What are you shouting about, be careful, I'll call the anti-pornography team here."

The woman was speechless and slammed the door angrily.

"What are you looking at?" Reiting asked.

Wei Yuanyang stood beside him stupidly: "What's going on inside?"

Lei Ting said calmly, "Three horses."

"Really!" Wei Yuanyang was surprised.

"Look at your masculinity." Lei Ting mockingly twisted the door of Du Yiqun's room, locked it, let him go and said, "Come on, virgin, kick one?"

"You're a virgin!" Wei Yuanyang kicked in a fit of rage, almost knocking the door off.

After the ash settled, the two were stunned.

There was nothing in the room, as clean as if it had just been cleaned, the table was empty, the open wardrobe was empty, even the bedding on the bed was gone, leaving a dry bedstead in the corner.

Wei Yuanyang wanted to go in, but was stopped by Lei Ting: "Is my toolbox in the car?"

He understood: "Wait, I'll take it."

"There are no fingerprints." Lei Ting checked the whole room and concluded.

"Not one?" Wei Yuanyang was surprised.

"No." Lei Ting looked at the spotless window frame, "Someone must have climbed in from here and removed everything, not a single hair left."

"This person is too boring, he doesn't even let the quilt go."

"This is the first floor, as long as there is a car to meet it, it will be fine. If the car is big enough to block the line of sight, we can guarantee that no one will notice if we start in the middle of the night."

Wei Yuanyang scratched his head: "What does this mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lei Ting said, "There was some ulterior secret in the house, so they kept doing nothing and destroyed everything."

"Who would have done that?"

"How would I know!"

Wei Yuanyang flicked his thumb: "Why don't you... ask the neighbor next door?"

Boo, a voice came from behind.

The woman just now had already put on a coat, she leaned against the door frame and pulled out the lipstick cover, frivolously touching up her makeup.

"Yo, that buddy is fast enough." Lei Ting joked.

"I'm ashamed to say it! Today's door opening business was disrupted by you." The woman put away her lipstick, "Anyway, I'm fine now, are the two police brothers interested?"

"You were the police uncle just now, but now you are the elder brother?" Lei Tingle said.

Wei Yuanyang coughed and snorted: "How much do you know about Du Yiqun?"

"This man's original surname is Du." The woman said frivolously, "We usually sleep in during the day and go out to do business separately at night. I don't even know his name. How much do you think I know?"

"Is there anything unusual about Du recently?"

"Yes." The woman said coquettishly, "He used to behave like a gentleman and always ignored me. I went to the toilet in the middle of the night and made the noise a little louder, which woke him up. I thought he was I want to curse, who knew that this bastard would jump over and take off my pants, looking like a hungry wolf!"

Wei Yuanyang stuck his chin in and pondered: "Could it be really a ghost."

After finishing speaking, there was no one to talk to, and Lei Ting was squatting in the living room picking up a pile of garbage in the corner, Wei Yuanyang leaned forward, and suddenly yelled.

"Why are you so surprised!" Lei Ting was quite frightened.

Wei Yuanyang opened his mouth wide and stammered, "This is not Guixintang!"

"What Guixintang?" Lei Ting frowned.

"Ah, no." Wei Yuanyang took a closer look, "This LOGO is a bit like Guixintang's."

"This?" Lei Ting took it out with tweezers. It was half a piece of crumpled letter paper. The LOGO was torn off, and half of the curly pattern could be seen faintly.

Wei Yuanyang suddenly remembered what Xie Yu asked: "What do you think this thing looks like?"

Lei Ting narrowed his eyes and looked: "Bracken?"

Wei Yuanyang gave up: "It's not much better than cabbage."

"It's so abstract that who would guess it! It's a fern anyway."

"Is there any meaning to this thing? Why do you like to use it as a LOGO?" Wei Yuanyang asked.

"It can be eaten." Lei Ting said.

"I'm telling you the truth."

"It can be eaten in the first place, and it can also be used as medicine. I don't know about the rest."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Wei Yuanyang said shamelessly, "Can you find me a plant that can't be eaten or used as medicine?"

Lei Ting ignored him, took a plastic bag, put the pile of garbage in it, and brought it back to the forensic department.

But after three consecutive night shifts, except for a bunch of fragmented fingerprints, no valuable clues were found.

"I think our method is wrong." In the dormitory, Wei Yuanyang said.

"What's wrong." Lei Ting leaned on the sofa and squeezed his temples.

"We haven't even settled on the basic principles. Of course, we are like headless chickens. For example, if you say that the headless driver is a prank, I think it is a supernatural phenomenon. The issues we discuss are not on the same level, so of course we can't go deep."

"That's also called level?" Lei Ting frowned, "Zombie level? Ghost upper body level?"

"I'm telling you serious!" Wei Yuanyang slapped the table, "For example, now, I will treat it as Du Yiqun's prank. You explain to me his mentality and what's going on in that room. He Where did my cousin go?"

"Does it need to be said! He must have committed something, ran away with his cousin, and was afraid of leaving evidence, so he vacated the house."

"Then why is the monitoring broken?"

"coincide."

"He just ran away when he ran away, why pretend to be a headless driver."

"People around him say that he has been neurotic recently, who knows what the neurotic is thinking."

"Your attitude is wrong." Wei Yuanyang spoke righteously, "If you attribute everything that can't be explained to insanity, then how can you discuss it?"

Lei Ting said impatiently, "Then what did you say?"

"Let me tell you." Wei Yuanyang stopped and said with a dark face, "I said Du Yiqun was possessed by a ghost."

☆、Retrograde amnesia

Hearing the word ghost upper body, Lei Ting immediately interrupted him with disdain.

"Why are you like this!" Wei Yuanyang was dissatisfied, "I listened carefully to your opinion just now, and you didn't even give me a chance to speak!"

Lei Ting reluctantly gave way: "Okay, okay, tell me."

Wei Yuanyang thought for a while: "Have you ever had a 'ghost press' while sleeping?"

"Had."

"Then you think there are ghosts in the world?"

"I don't think so!" Lei Ting said, "The 'ghost pressing bed' I said refers to the state of being unable to move suddenly while sleeping, and it doesn't mean that there is a real ghost pressing me down!"

"That's right, that's what I meant when I said 'ghost upper body'."

Lei Ting was taken aback.

"I think it makes sense now." Wei Yuanyang shook his legs triumphantly.

"You're right, let's go on."

"I think Du Yiqun was possessed by a ghost, which is why he made those strange actions. Later, for some reason, his head fell off, but the ghost was still on him, so he could continue driving."

Lei Ting originally wanted to talk nonsense, but paused and swallowed: "And then?"

"Then the ghost affected the monitoring equipment, so no pictures were taken."

"What about his family? Where's his cousin?"

"Because the ghost didn't want to be discovered, he evacuated the house. Because the ghost was discovered by his cousin, he killed his cousin."

"Damn! Aren't you the same as me!" Lei Ting finally cursed, "Attributing things that cannot be explained to ghosts is different from attributing them to insanity!"

Wei Yuanyang scratched his head: "That's right."

Speechless for a while.

"Then, let's make a compromise." Wei Yuanyang said again, "We minimize the matter of the ghost's upper body. As long as humans can do things, we will use humans to explain them, and we will use ghosts to explain things that humans cannot do." to explain."

"Huh?" Lei Ting didn't understand.

"For example, being able to drive a car without a head is something that people cannot do, so it is because of ghosts. But if people can do this thing when they vacate their homes, then it can be considered that someone did it for a certain purpose. .”

Lei Ting pondered for a while: "It's a bit of a trick."

Wei Yuanyang grabbed a pen and paper and wrote: "The things we have to explain now include: the headless driver, the monitoring is broken, Du's strange behavior, his house was evacuated, and his cousin disappeared. Among them, the headless driver used a ghost The upper body can be explained, and the strange behavior can also be explained together, so there are three remaining things, the first is monitoring..."

"If it is man-made, it means that someone deliberately destroyed the video data, so as to hinder the investigation and cover up the fact of 'headless rental'." Lei Ting analyzed.

"Moving is probably the reason for this." Wei Yuanyang added.

"Who did that?" Lei Ting hissed, "One person can't handle these things. It's definitely a gang, and it's a very professional gang. Not left."

"Then let's assume it's a gang." Wei Yuanyang said, "Maybe this gang is doing some shady business, which caused Du Yiqun to be possessed by ghosts, turned around and drove around in a taxi. They were afraid that things would leak, While going to the traffic police team to destroy the video, and at the same time go to Du’s house to destroy the evidence, maybe his cousin finds out on the way, and he will kill people and destroy the body!”

"Oops!" Lei Ting sat up suddenly, "Those two students!"

"What student?" Wei Yuanyang asked.

"Those two witnesses! I couldn't get in touch afterwards!"

Wei Yuanyang reacted instantly: "Could it be that they were also silenced?"

"Don't you have the number they used to call the police? Hurry up and try!"

Wei Yuanyang immediately pulled out his phone and dialed it.

Beep—, beep—

The two listened quietly, and the smell of death seemed to disperse from the receiver.

"Hello?" Suddenly a female voice came.

"Ah, hello?" Wei Yuanyang was taken aback.

"Who are you?"

"I... I belong to the traffic police team." Wei Yuanyang came back to his senses, "Did you call the police in the early morning of September 9, at the intersection of Huangshan Road and Xiangzhang Avenue."

"Yes." The girl said, "What's the matter?"

Wei Yuanyang didn't know how to answer for a moment: "You guys... how are you doing recently? Has your personal safety been threatened?"

"No." The girl was puzzled.

"Ask them to come over and take notes!" Lei Ting reminded.

"Oh." Wei Yuanyang nodded, "That headless rental vehicle may be involved in a criminal case, please come to the Public Security Bureau to make a record."

"What headless rental." The girl said.

"It's the taxi driven by the headless driver. Didn't you call the police?"

"Yes." The girl said, "We called the police and complained about the driver's refusal."

"Refused to load?"

"That day we hired that car and wanted to go back to school. He asked for 30. We asked for a meter, but he didn't want to, so the two sides quarreled."

Wei Yuanyang frowned: "Isn't someone threatening you to say that?"

"No one threatened me." The girl's tone sounded very normal.

"It's all right..." Wei Yuanyang hung up hesitantly, and looked at Lei Ting, "What's going on."

"Find the 110 center for records! That's definitely not what she said when she called the police." Lei Ting decisively called his colleague.

After some inquiries, the other party concluded that there was no such record on that day.

Three days later, Wei Yuanyang dragged the chair, sat down, and stared at the roommate who was leaning on the sofa and playing with the tablet.

"Leiting, let me tell you something." He looked serious.

"What are you doing?" Lei Ting couldn't help retreating half a meter when he saw his fight, "Don't confess your love to me, I like women."

"Fuck you!" Wei Yuanyang scolded back, "I'm serious now, don't interrupt!"

"That... I just got a new computer recently, and I don't have a lot of money."

"Who wants to borrow money from you!" Wei Yuanyang patted the coffee table, "I tell you seriously, you have amnesia!"

"Ah?" Lei Ting's eyes widened.

"Tell me what you did last week."

"Eat, sleep, go to and from get off work."

"anything else."

"Fighting the Landlord, Eighty Points, □□."

"Who asked you this!"

Lei Ting smacked his lips: "It's private life any further, why should I report to you."

"Where did you go on the night of September 9st!" Wei Yuanyang seemed to be interrogating a prisoner.

The other party recalled: "Playing billiards with classmates."

"and then."

"Play cards with classmates."

"and then."

"Then I checked the time and it was almost back."

"What's the matter with the wound on your forehead?"

"Didn't I tell you that I was scratched by a truck on the way back?"

Wei Yuanyang threw a piece of paper in front of him.

Lei Ting didn't understand: "What is this?"

"The record of your traffic accident." Wei Yuanyang said, "To be precise, it is the record of 'our' traffic accident."

Lei Ting flipped through the pages: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Another thing was photographed on the table.

Lei Ting took a look, it was a part of a police motorcycle.

"This is the rearview mirror that was broken in the accident. ——We have all the witnesses and evidence."

The other party frowned suspiciously.

"In the early morning of September 9, we received a report and found a taxi driven by a headless driver. We had an accident while chasing it," Wei Yuanyang said.

Lei Ting squeezed his eyes twice: "Is there such a thing?"

Wei Yuanyang's expression was extremely affirmative.

Lei Ting touched the gauze on his forehead: "It can't be the retrograde amnesia caused by the concussion. ——No, what did you just say? A headless driver driving a taxi?"

"That's right." Wei Yuanyang nodded.

Lei Ting looked at him in disbelief, and after a while, he laughed loudly and said, "Your brain is trapped by the door!"

Wei Yuanyang didn't smile, he was silent for a long time, stood up and said, "Forget it, it's better if you forget."

Returning to his room, turning on the desk lamp, Wei Yuanyang fumbled in the drawer for a long time, and took out a blank work diary.

Unfolding the first page, pulling off the pen cap, and looking at the rosary on his left wrist, he wrote:

Wednesday, April 9.

I know a person named Qi Xie. Although I can't remember the process of getting to know him to this day, I can be sure that he is a trustworthy person.The earliest memory about him is the bone fragmentation case in the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University. At that time, Xie Yu and I investigated together and met Ding Li.After the case was closed, Xie Yu and I discovered that we had lost certain memories, and these memories were all related to a man surnamed Qi.From the phone number stored in the mobile phone, we found Qi's residence, met Ding Li again there, and learned that he also had the same amnesia symptoms, and speculated: the three of us knew Qi Zao, and Guixintang threatened us with our personal safety. He joined Jingfang, and he may have deleted our memory of him out of protection.Then, Ding Li took the initiative to break into the enemy's interior, and Xie Yu and I investigated on the outside. After a series of cases, we met on the Xisha cruise ship "Southern Star".In the end, the Nanxing exploded, and Qi Xie fell into the water and disappeared. He was salvaged ashore in the early morning of the second day and was confirmed dead.

Wei Yuanyang wrote this, paused for a moment, crossed out the word "confirmation" and changed it to "looks like", and then wrote: Ten days later, Qi Xie was resurrected for unknown reasons and lived in Zhiguai Zhai for a period of time. He moved to Shanghai at the end of last month (August 8), and it is said that he joined Guixintang.So much for the statement about Qi Xie, the following is speculation about amnesia:

Given that Xie Yu and Ding Li (including the headless driver's witness and Lei Ting's grandson) have all experienced amnesia, this may not be an isolated phenomenon, nor is it completely controlled by Qixie.I think this is selective forgetting. The brain automatically deletes unreasonable memories and changes them to another reasonable one.Amnesia can happen anytime and anywhere, so if I forget this diary in the future and have a chance to read it again, I must believe it, take it seriously, and don't take it as a joke.

Wei Yuanyang finished writing and read it, put the transcript of the traffic accident in, closed the book, and stuffed it in the drawer, but it seemed to be stuck by something.

Looking down, it seemed that something was stuck between the side of the drawer and the table board. He pulled it out, but couldn't pull it out, so he simply pulled out the whole drawer.

With a snap, several A4 papers crumpled and fell to the ground.

Wei Yuanyang picked it up, unfolded it and flipped through it.

"April 4th, Friday." It said, "I am Wei Yuanyang, this is a diary I wrote, to record a major event that may be forgotten, if I see it again in the future, I must believe in my former self , this is definitely not a joke."

"I///Damn it!" Wei Yuanyang couldn't help shouting. ——He was sure that he had no impression of these papers, let alone this inexplicable diary that was surprisingly consistent with his current thoughts!

"What are you doing!" Lei Ting's voice came from the next door, as if he heard the movement in the room.

"It's okay! Play your game!" Wei Yuanyang closed the door and returned to the desk, and immediately picked up the diary to read.

Gradually, a certain past that has been forgotten by the collective unfolds silently...

☆、Science Island

Two years ago, Spring.

At 10:30 p.m. in the west of the city, two traffic policemen got on their motorcycles after dealing with an accident.

"I'm not going back to the team, I'm going home first." One of them said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Wei Yuanyang put on his helmet.

The colleague started the car and turned around slowly.

"Isn't your home over there?" Wei Yuanyang pointed in the opposite direction.

"Science Island can't get through, you have to go around it." A colleague said, "It seems that someone is going to visit the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the whole island is sealed off."

"Still inspecting in the middle of the night?" Wei Yuanyang turned on the headlights.

"Who knows about the leadership." The colleague said and rode away.

Wei Yuanyang warmed up the car for a while, gasped a little, and turned onto the motorway.

The spring night was still very cold, and he rode forward against the cold wind, planning to go back to the dormitory and watch the remaining half of yesterday's horror movie.Recalling the previous episode, he couldn't help yawning, but just as he was about to shake his head, he heard a scream!

Wei Yuanyang looked excitedly at the sound, and the sound was coming from the green belt near the water. ——Under the dense pine branches, the lights are completely blocked, and in the darkness, a male figure is approaching a woman!

"Who!" Wei Yuanyang stopped drinking.

The figure paused, glanced at him, and ran to the water's edge!Wei Yuanyang dropped his motorcycle and rushed up, catching him within a few steps with a perfect [-]-meter score: "Are you still running? Yueheifeng flirts with women from a good family! How courageous you are!"

The man struggled twice to no avail, Wei Yuanyang touched his waist, trying to pull out the belt to tie him up, but failed to do so for a long time.

"What are you doing!" the man yelled.

"Be honest!" Wei Yuanyang pushed him to the ground, and only then did he see what he was wearing.

Crimson shorts on the upper body, black trousers on the lower body, a cloth belt, and a taupe-colored half-arm jacket, like an actor who ran out of some ancient costume set.

"The boy is very good at playing! Want to be a flower picker and wear night clothes?" Wei Yuanyang grabbed him by the arm and lifted him up.

The man stopped resisting and snorted coldly.

"What are you humming!" Wei Yuanyang scolded.

The man said to himself: "Idiot."

Wei Yuanyang is not deaf: "Who are you calling an idiot!"

"Say who knows."

"You rascal still has the face to curse!" Wei Yuanyang dragged him towards the woman just now, "Big sister, tell me what he did?"

The woman who fell to the ground was in a daze, trembling with her arms folded.

"Don't be afraid, big sister, I've already caught him." Wei Yuanyang took a step forward.

The woman suddenly screamed and kicked her toes back desperately, as if she had seen a ghost.

"See," the man said, "I didn't do anything to her, she's always been like this."

"Stop rambling!" Wei Yuanyang tightened his arm, "Follow me to the police station, then things will be clear!"

The man listened silently, as if thinking about something.

"Go!" Wei Yuanyang pushed.

"I'm not going! Let me go!" He suddenly struggled.

"Hey? If you're not tied up, you're kicking your nose in the face!" Wei Yuanyang said as he untied his cloth belt, and was about to tie him back up, when he saw a lot of things falling from the hem of the man's clothes and spread them on the turf. one place:

A stack of talisman paper, three incense sticks, a string of beads, two bundles of red thread, a few copper coins, two small porcelain vases...

Wei Yuanyang snorted: "I saw that your outfit is not right, so you are a great dancer."

The man listened to the ridicule, but instead had an unruly expression on his face: "I have the protection of the Heavenly Lord, if you tie me up, be careful of retribution!"

"I still have Wu Zun's protection!" Wei Yuanyang tied him up, picked up things on the ground and fiddled with them.

"Stop!" The other party's expression changed, "There's an evil spirit sealed in that bottle! Don't open it!"

"If you tell me not to open it, I won't open it? Hey, I'll open it, I just want to open it." Wei Yuan pulled off the cover vigorously, but nothing happened.

"You—!" The other party stared at him.

"Where's the evil spirit? Where did it go?" Wei Yuan raised his hand to set up a shelter and pretended to search for it.

The other party snorted coldly: "The evil spirit is still in the bottle, as long as someone smells it, they will be possessed by it!"

"That's awesome, how about I smell it?" Wei Yuanyang put his nose closer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he inhaled half a mouthful, a sour choke rushed from the nasal cavity to the forehead!He was dizzy and fell to the ground. When his eyes were dark, he saw the man break free from the bondage, picked up the bottle and said with a smile: "It seems that this 'half-step fall' is quite effective."

Only then did Wei Yuanyang realize that he had been cheated, he wanted to scold but couldn't open his mouth, and saw the man put away the things on the ground and disappeared into the night.

After a full 3 minutes, he finally regained consciousness. He got up and looked around, but the woman was gone. Wei Yuanyang thought it was terrible, and was about to ask for help when he suddenly noticed dark red dots on the ground.

"You bastard! Let's see where you're going!" His heart lit up, and he chased after the blood!

The blood was dripping step by step, and went to a remote place along the water bank. Wei Yuanyang followed a hundred meters away, and saw a wooden boat floating not far away, with an unconscious woman lying in the boat, and the man standing on the boat had already pushed the revetment away!

"Stop!" Wei Yuanyang yelled, leaping forward with one lunge, and subdued the man with two moves.

The other party couldn't move, and waited for the boat to gradually leave the shore with inertia, and then said: "I can't swim, I can't run away, you can let me go."

"You think I'm stupid?" Wei Yuanyang stared at him, "I won't be fooled a second time!"

The man sighed.

"What tricks do you want to play again!" Wei Yuanyang overreacted.

"My surname is Qi, and I opened a shop to make a living by buying and selling strange stories." The man said, "Today, this girl came to me and said that she was bewitched by evil spirits. I asked the specific reason, and she said that she was often chased by ghosts in her dreams. She was talking. Suddenly, she looked terrified and ran away from the door. I didn't want to take care of her at first, but then I felt sorry for her, so I went all the way to find her here."

Wei Yuanyang obviously didn't believe it: "I listen to your nonsense!"

The man sighed again.

"My surname is Qi, and I'm a charlatan." He corrected, "I was walking on the street today, and found this woman in a trance, and thought I could take advantage of it, so I went up and said, girl, I saw that your seal is black, is there something wrong? She said yes, I often have nightmares recently. I said, you are bewitched by evil spirits, so you have to be scared. The girl asked how to collect it, and I said that you need to use gold to suppress ghosts, so I went with her to the bank to withdraw money. She ran away halfway, and I was afraid that she would call the police and arrest me, so I chased all the way here."

After hearing this, Wei Yuanyang looked back at the unconscious woman: "Then you plan to kill people to silence them?"

"Her bag contains the work permit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I sent her back out of good intentions."

"Good intentions? You treat me like a three-year-old child!" Wei Yuanyang held him down.

Qi Xie took a breath.

"What!" Wei Yuanyang asked.

"I hurt my left shoulder." Qi Xie said.

"Stop fooling me!"

"There was a piece of glass in the grass just now, you pushed me on it and scratched it."

Wei Yuanyang thought of the blood on the ground, turned over his left shoulder and saw that there was indeed a gash.

"It hurts!" Qi Xie said.

"What are you yelling about!" Wei Yuanyang let go of his hand a little bit, and was suddenly pushed by Qi Xie, plopping into the lake!

As soon as he came out of his head, he saw the other party standing on the boat, looking at him gloatingly.Wei Yuanyang was angry, and he grabbed the side of the boat and wanted to climb back, but the other party stepped on his fingers suddenly.He wanted to retract his hand, but Qi Xie stepped on it even tighter, and when he got excited, he rolled it left and right, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"How?" Qi Xie asked with a smile.

"No way!" Wei Yuanyang grabbed his ankle with the other hand, trying to pull him into the water, Qi Xie seemed to have expected it, picked up the oar and slapped him back.

Wei Yuanyang didn't know what to do, he opened his mouth to scold, but the cold water turned into a sneeze.

"Goodbye." Qi Qi smiled, turned the oars and rowed to the island in the middle of the lake.

Wei Yuanyang hadn't recovered yet, his clothes were soaked in water and began to sink, he hurriedly took off his movable limbs one by one and swam back, but within two meters, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he simply turned around and turned around. After changing the direction, he also swam towards the center of the lake.

The lake is very wide and doubles as a city reservoir, with a large island in it.The island was previously unknown, but ten years ago the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up a branch here, and the citizens called it "Science Island".There are two long bridges on the island, the north and the south, which are connected to the two banks respectively. They are usually open, but now the gates are closed, and the street lights that originally illuminated the bridge are also extinguished. Against the backdrop of the night, it looks like a long dead snake lying on the water.

After several twists and turns, Wei Yuanyang finally landed, but he had already stripped off his clothes, and could only squat in the bushes in a pair of underwear under the chilly spring.

This Wang/Eight/Egg with the surname Qi!I can't spare you!While cursing secretly, Wei Yuanyang prayed that someone would pass by quickly to save him, and this person must not be a woman, otherwise he would definitely be dragged into the security department as an exhibitionist.

After a few minutes, a figure came towards here under the dim street lights.

Wei Yuanyang squinted and found that the man was wearing a security uniform, so he cleared his throat and squatted behind the tree.When the man approached, he was about to speak when he heard a strange conversation.

"00919, 00919." The voice of the walkie-talkie sounded.

"This is 00919." The security guard whispered.

"Target found at ten o'clock, please recover."

"Received." The security guard walked towards the cat body in front of the left, and at the same time took out something from his waist.

The reflection flashed, and it turned out to be a gun!

Wei Yuanyang was startled, and looked carefully. The security guard was wearing night vision goggles, a gas mask, and three letters shining brightly behind the explosion-proof vest: TXB.

"The target has entered stage C, please approve the killing." The security guard said coldly.

"Kill allowed." The walkie-talkie replied.

Wei Yuanyang turned pale with shock, before he could react, the trigger had already been pulled.

With a whoosh, a figure in the distance fell to the ground, and then three or four security personnel surrounded him from nowhere, wrapped the body in plastic and dragged it away.

Wei Yuanyang's eyes widened, his mind completely frozen.

What's the situation!Wei Yuanyang squatted behind the tree, thinking in a mess: Didn't the leaders come to Science Island for inspection?How did it become approved to be killed!Could there be terrorists on the island?What recycling?What stage C?And what does TXB mean?

While thinking wildly, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine!He was about to turn his head, but the back of his head was pinned by a gun!

At some point behind them stood two security guards, raised the walkie-talkie and said, "Suspicious people have been found on the South Bank."

"Misunderstood! I'm a policeman!" Wei Yuanyang was about to explain, but his voice was silenced by a gunshot.

"Bring back to the secondary isolation area." The reply came from the walkie-talkie.

Fortunately, it is not allowed to kill.Wei Yuanyang thought to himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

Escorted by security personnel, he walked northward, with armed guards at every intersection. He turned into a scientific research building and came to a certain door. A note read "Isolation Room 21".

The guard opened the door, he went in, and the door locked again.

Wei Yuanyang looked up, and there were seven or eight people locked up in the room staring at him. He glanced and found that they were all men, and the shyness of streaking was gone.

"Well, I just fell into the water and lost all my clothes." Wei Yuanyang explained as he walked in, his eyes flicked over a certain corner for a moment, and then he rushed over with lightning speed. Pull up Qi Xie's collar!

Qi Xie was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, don't you come here for nothing?"

"You boy! Sure enough, the enemy's road is narrow!" Wei Yuanyang raised his fist and was about to beat him.

Qi Xie didn't resist: "It was my fault for pushing you into the water just now, I will apologize to you here, if you can't calm down, just beat me up, Qi will never complain."

Wei Yuanyang's fist was hanging in the air, and he couldn't hit a smiling face, so he let go bitterly: "Where's that girl!"

"They took them away." Qi Xie said.

"Don't stop, keep talking, what's going on in Building 19?" A young man in blue in the middle of the room suddenly said.

A middle-aged man in his 40s was sitting in a chair, holding a thermos cup and said slowly: "On the second floor of Building 19, there is a research group on cell activation. Substance. This hidden life means that animals can stop their metabolism and enter a state of suspended animation under adverse environments such as hypoxia, low temperature, hypertonicity, and ionizing radiation. It can last for three to five years at most, and then recover when the environment is suitable. It is said That research group recently conducted an in vivo experiment, where they froze a batch of rabbits to death, and then injected the extract, and the rabbits came back to life."

The blue clothes suddenly realized: "Then those resurrected rabbits mutated, and people became zombies after being bitten by them!"

"Probably not." Another white coat shook his head. "I went to the second floor in the afternoon. The rabbits injected with HHC-237 are still locked up. All physiological indicators are normal, and there is no mutation to bite."

During the discussion between several people, Qi Xie handed him a document.

"What?" Wei Yuanyang asked.

"You can take a look at what they gave me just now." Qi Xie said.

"Speak to the staff of the Huazhong Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Wei Yuanyang read silently: It has been confirmed that there is an outbreak of UV-32 virus on the island. In order to prevent the spread of the infection, we are now adopting Class A isolation measures with the approval of the superior.All employees are expected to actively cooperate with the security personnel and go to Building 8 for isolation. The isolation time is 6 hours.If there is no fever symptom after 6 hours, it is considered as not infected; if fever occurs, continue to stay on the island for observation.The uninfected people will gather at the South Square at 7:00 tomorrow, and arrange to leave the island in a unified manner.In addition, in order to prevent unnecessary panic among citizens, communication between quarantined people and the outside world is temporarily prohibited.During the isolation period, security personnel will provide necessary drinking water, food and bedding, thank you for your cooperation.

"What is the UV-32 virus?" Wei Yuanyang asked.

"I heard them discussing it just now, it seems to be a virus that erodes the brain." Qi Xie whispered, "Infected people are divided into three categories according to the degree: the first category often has nightmares, just like that girl; the second category looks Trance, hallucinations; the third type is completely crazy, extremely aggressive, and eventually mutated into a zombie-like monster."

Wei Yuanyang immediately understood what "stage C" meant, and quickly asked, "What about the infection route?"

"Still guessing, some say □□, some say air."

Wei Yuanyang sat on the ground dejectedly: "If the air is dead, we have been in contact with that girl for so long, we may be infected!"

"I won't be infected..." Qi Xie looked out the window thoughtfully.

Not long after, Wei Yuanyang saw him walking towards the door and knocking, saying something to the guard, and when he came back, he had two new sets of clothes in his hand.

"The spare cleaning overalls, make do with it." Qi Xie handed him one set, and changed into another one himself. After tidying up, he sat down against the wall and asked his name.

"Wei Yuanyang." He answered honestly.

"My name is Qi Harmony, Neat Qi, Harmonious Harmony."

"Don't get close to me!" Wei Yuanyang quickly moved half a meter away, "Don't
