doomsday exile

A man wearing a mask and a black jumper walks down a hospital corridor.

He put his hands in his pockets, buried his head, and walked evasively.

He walked out of the elevator with a group of family members who fetched food and water. Because he looked a little weird, he was looked at several times, but there were many people wearing masks in the hospital. Who knew if there was any disease.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" The staff at the nurse's station saw this suspicious looking guy and asked.

"Looking for someone." The man said vaguely.

Just at this time, a family member of the patient ran over in the corridor, yelling that the patient started to convulse not long after the infusion.

The hospital was understaffed, the nurse was in a hurry to call someone, and the calling bell on the wall rang again, and it was really too busy.

The man took the opportunity to slip away, looking at the number of the ward as he walked.

In the ward, Miao Zi had just come out of the bathroom when she suddenly saw a stranger entering the door, subconsciously thinking that he was looking for the patient in the next bed.

But the little fat man's mother, thinking of Miaozi saying that they have no relatives here, stood up vigilantly and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

In the end, without saying a word, the man rushed directly to Lu Yun who was on the hospital bed by the window.

"you--"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Miaozi wanted to grab the man, but because of dizziness and weakness in his hands, he fell beside him.

He wanted to open his mouth to yell, but he saw two strong-looking men rushing in from outside the ward. Without saying a word, he directly knocked the "crazy" down, and it was still the standard strangulation of the neck, breaking the wrists back, A way of subduing people who completely lose their resistance.

"What's the matter?" Sister Yang stood at the door carrying porridge, startled.

"careful!"

I saw a bottle wrapped in a cloth fall from the strange man's hand and hit the ground, gurgling out liquid.

There was a sizzling sound, and traces of corrosion appeared on the ground.

The people in the ward were stunned and speechless.

At the same time, in a building about 100 meters opposite the hospital building, a man wearing a helmet and holding a high-powered telescope cursed angrily.

"waste!"

The helmeted man put down the binoculars, turned around and prepared to leave.

Then he froze.

This is an empty office building. It used to belong to a certain training institution. It probably went bankrupt or ran away with money. Even the desk was dragged away, the glass door was smashed, and the fluorescent lamp was broken.

It is very common to have a certain floor of an office building vacant without receiving rent like this. However, at this moment, the man in the helmet saw a real ghost in this ruin-like empty room.

Enter through the wall, and slowly pull out the right arm from the wall.

Pale cheeks, dark and deep pupils, seem to be smiling, and seem to have found prey.

"..."

The helmet man's face turned pale instantly, and he opened his mouth to shout, but found that his tongue didn't work.

It feels very sluggish, like being put in a big cover, and it takes a lot of effort to barely raise the arm.

"Ok?"

There is even a sense of resistance?

Lu Di realized that the helmet on this person's head could resist mind control.

The helmeted man leaned on the wall and staggered forward. Cold sweat quickly soaked through his clothes. He began to feel severe headaches. He could no longer support his body and collapsed to the ground.

"Evil..."

The man's eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was covered with blood, and he fought with all his willpower.

Lu Di was a little surprised. He originally thought that these guys were mobs who would dare to do anything when they were crazy, but after the situation took a turn for the worse, they lacked willpower and adaptability.

This is the case with the peaked cap I met in the alley and the man carrying the acid in the hospital just now. Although they tried their best to stay calm, they just couldn't keep calm, and they just put the labels "I have a problem" and "I'm just a thug" on their foreheads.

Lu Di didn't expect that the mouse hiding behind had a rather tough posture.

——The pain of being hit in the brain is unbearable for most people.

The man suddenly raised his hand. Looking at his palm, he became more and more angry, but he took off his helmet uncontrollably.

"boom."

As soon as the protection was gone, he passed out directly.

After a few seconds, the man slowly raised his head, his eyes were dull and his expression was stiff.

Lu Di watched him take out everything in his pocket, even the ID card hidden in the inner lining of his clothes.

"Han Guang, a native of Donghui Province?"

Lu Di frowned. He had never been to Donghui Province in his life, and this man named Han Guang seemed to have a grudge against him.

Lu Di was too lazy to study this, and directly controlled Han Guang to try to open the phone with his fingerprint.

The mobile phone is the life recorder of contemporary people, and it hides many secrets.

Han Guang obviously understands this truth very well. He is a very careful person, and his call history has been deleted, leaving only spam advertising text messages.

There are very few apps, almost uninstalled, and the photo album is empty.

There are no social networking sites and no chat accounts.

The payment software can be logged in, but the billing record must enter the gesture password to view it.

"Ding."

A push message appears on the phone.

Lu Di stared at the advertisement content of "Time Management Master APP, Helping You Improve Order Delivery Efficiency, Downloading Only 3 Yuan", and fell into deep thought.

***

Shangdu base.

"I found it, it's the takeaway rider with this license plate."

Yuan Zhongxia turned off his phone enthusiastically, pointed to a magnified screenshot on the projection screen and said, "After the attack, he was photographed at four consecutive street corners within 2 minutes. People who don’t even run away with air defense sirens, why are they circling around the mall?”

At that time, people near the shopping mall had already been frightened away by the moths. Passers-by either hid in the street or ran into the shopping mall. Anyone who was close to the attack range showed symptoms of dizziness and discomfort.

"When counting the victims afterwards, was there no such person?"

"Yes, no, those with milder symptoms were brought into the temporary medical tent for observation." Yuan Zhongxia thumped the table and said angrily, "He must have taken a photo of the glass curtain wall and left the scene quickly. Nor did it arouse our suspicion."

"Did you check the license plate? What about the information on the food delivery platform?"

"It's a part-time job, the management is very chaotic, and the clothes and cars are second-hand... No, I don't know how many times they have changed hands. The information I found now belongs to a college student. Who was it transferred to?"

The robot waved its slender metal arms and tapped on the keyboard, trying to find an image of the frontal face from the surveillance.

Yuan Zhongxia said firmly: "I will definitely find it, but it will take some time..."

Then his cell phone rang.

A communication message also came from Yan Long's computer.

Yuan Zhongxia took the phone to the corner of the room and answered it again.

"Hey... what? The ghost came to you?"

The team members on the other end of the phone were also full of shit, pinching their noses to report to the captain that they were guarding near the hospital, when suddenly a figure appeared, the bun in his hand was almost frightened, and he almost performed the speed of throwing vegetable bags and drawing guns on the spot.

"The ghost said that a suspicious person was found in the building opposite the hospital. After giving us the detailed address, he disappeared. Captain, shall I go? Give me instructions!"

The corner of Yuan Zhongxia's mouth twitched, just at this moment he saw Yan Long's communication.

——The one who applied for the connection call was also a member of Yuan Zhongxia's team.

"Yan Long, something happened in the hospital. Someone rushed into the ward where the bookstore employee named Lu Yun was with sulfuric acid... Hey, are you there, Captain?"

Yuan Zhongxia: "..."

Because of the two groups of people, one was sent by Yuan Zhongxia in the middle of the night yesterday, and the other was sent by Yan Longjia this morning.

Although each other knows each other's existence, once there is a situation, it is better to ask the task dispatcher for instructions as soon as possible.

"At the scene, let us know the situation." Yan Long instructed.

Yuan Zhongxia hung up the phone and started a three-way communication video.

"...Someone broke into Lu Yun's ward 5 minutes ago, and the ghost came to inform you 1 minute ago that he found a suspicious person peeping with a telescope in the building opposite the hospital? What about Lu Yun?"

"It's okay, but it looks frightened."

The team members over there reported in detail the results of their surveillance of two bookstore employees and one shoe store employee. The other two had nothing unusual, only Lu Yun was attacked.

After the robot finished listening, its eyes dimmed, as if lost in thought.

"By the way, the ghost also said that the suspicious person's name is Han Guang, and he may have delivered food before, or appeared near the mall in disguise as a delivery person."

"what did he say?"

Yuan Zhongxia almost jumped up.

Yan Long bowed his head and thought for a while, and after sending orders to the team members over there to continue monitoring and arrest Han Guang, he hung up the communication.

Then the roller robot slid toward the door.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Apply to leave the base and find the ghost."

The robot said sternly.

"How do you find it? What if he doesn't show up?" Yuan Zhongxia couldn't help asking, "Do you think he wants to cooperate with us?"

The wheel robot stopped at the door, turned its head and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes has enormous energy. Ghost has no money, no contacts, and no high-tech equipment. It's not surprising that he made this choice."

"No, we must be careful about this matter! We don't know ghosts. Although he has lived in Shangdu for three years and has never engaged in illegal or criminal activities. He may commute to work every day to earn rent, but he is so special and insists on living this ordinary life. There must be a reason, and I think it would be risky to have any contact with him."

Yuan Zhongxia said with an ugly expression, "You have to convince me, otherwise I will definitely vote against it when the higher-ups ask for my opinion."

Yan Long said calmly: "After seeing the picture of moth powder, Professor Xia put forward a new guess about the existence of ghosts. It was this guess that made me reaffirm the true identity of ghosts."

"You mean that Lu Yun?"

Yuan Zhongxia said in disbelief, "You heard it just now. The ghost went out to catch the person who was peeping in the ward, and the person carrying the sulfuric acid rushed into the ward. These two things happened almost at the same time. Lu Yun was also in the ward all the time. Without losing consciousness, Lu Yun cannot be a ghost!"

"No, you are deceived by appearances."

Yan Long replied, "There is more than one ghost. What the special execution team installed in several hospitals was not interference wave detectors, but biological wave detectors. The instrument in the Seventh Hospital captured three very abnormal fluctuations late last night. , one of them is Lu Di we met last night."
