Survival Paradox [Infinite]

The room was terribly quiet, only Wei Yuan's heartbeat was beating rapidly, and even Gao Qiusuo, who was farthest away, could hear it.

Ji Jingzhe looked straight at Wei Chi, who was about to speak, but he looked away lightly.

"It's almost time to get off the horse, should we get down to business?" Ji Jingzhe's eyes fell on Shuoshu, and he reached out to pat Yuan Qi next to him, "Don't make a fuss, just check your hometown, there is nothing to be afraid of of."

Yuan Qi's whole body trembled when he slapped him, and he thought to himself: Did I get scared by him?

Shuo Shu waved his hand: "Then sit down first."

When Wei Yuan heard this, he immediately wanted to run to the table tennis table, but was caught by Ji Jingzhe who happened to be walking over there, and he was firmly pressed in the middle of the sofa.

After everyone was seated, Wei Yuan looked at Ji Jingzhe and Wei Chi who were sitting on the left and right of him, and felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a thousand fishbone.

Not far away cast silent gazes, Yuan Qi and Gao Qiusuo are on the right, they are huddled in a single sofa in love with each other.

Shuo Shu sat on the right side of Wei Yuan and the others, on the sofa farthest from the window.

Wei Yuan struggled to stand up, but Ji Jingzhe grabbed his thigh tightly.

"Short lady, you are sick!" Wei Yuan cried out in pain, "I'm thirsty, I want to drink water!"

Ji Jingzhe turned a deaf ear to it, but Wei Chi on the other side took a bottle of mineral water from under the table, unscrewed it and handed it to him.

Wei Yuan squeezed the water: "Ah, thank you bro."

Then he felt that Ji Jingzhe's hand on his thigh tightened even tighter.

At the same time, Shuoshu recounted the self-introduction of the Special Affairs Investigation Department of the National Security Agency and their thoughts.

The few people who had heard it didn't respond, but Yuan Qi and Gao Qiusuo, who heard it for the first time, naturally dropped their jaws.

Especially Yuan Qi, this foreign friend who is not Chinese but is Chinese everywhere raised his hands, not knowing whether to cover his eyes or his ears first: "Then it's not good for me to be here?"

Shuoshu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you shouldn't know, you won't even know."

The Indonesian friend put down his hand in a smug manner.

Gao Qiusuo took out his mobile phone, and was about to search the "Special Affairs Investigation Department", and then found that his two calling cards of two different operators had no signal.

"Can I ask a question?" He held up his hand.

Shuo Shu nodded.

Gao Qiusuo: "Are you civil servants?"

Others were stunned when they heard this question, but Shuo Shu didn't respond: "Some are, some are not. My partner is a civil servant, and I am a military officer."

Wei Yuan was startled: "You don't fit the image of our people's soldiers!"

Even Wei Chi looked up in surprise, it was the first time he had heard Shuo Shu reveal such personal information in his dealings with Shuoshu for so long.

Shuo Shu glanced at Wei Yuan, and said with a sneer, "Stop watching anti-Japanese dramas."

"Why do I feel that he is targeting me..." Wei Yuan trembled, and said to Ji Jingzhe, but the latter just passed him and looked at Wei Chi, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then will you lose your job when your service period expires?" Gao Qiusuo continued to ask.

Shuoshu didn't seem to expect that he would ask such a detailed question, and was taken aback for a moment: "I will change jobs."

"That's it...it turns out that the secret agent is not a permanent job..." Gao Qiusuo murmured, there was an inexplicable sadness in his tone for some reason, he was immersed in his own thoughts, and did not hear Shuo Shu's next sentence.

"If ever there was one day," he said.

"What do you mean by 'counterattack'?" Ji Jingzhe asked.

Shuo Shu: "Literally. We want to find out the truth of the matter, find the mastermind behind the scenes, and resolve the abnormal situation."

"How?" Wei Yuan asked.

The corner of Shuo Shu's eyes moved, this was what he was waiting for.

"I want you to join me in entering that world, prepared and organized, and looking for clues from within."

Ji Jingzhe said decisively: "Impossible, Wei Chi has just come out of the ICU."

Shuo Shu: "I thought you were still having trouble with him."

Ji Jingzhe didn't look sideways: "Being awkward doesn't affect my concern for him."

Shuoshu: "It's so sweet."

Wei Yuan leaned back: "Destroy it."

"Wait a minute," Yuan Qi interrupted suddenly, "You just said that we entered that world with you?"

Shuoshu: "Yes. We will enter together."

Yuan Qi shook his head: "No, you're talking about us and 'you'."

Shuoshu: "I'm talking about us."

Yuan Qi: "It's impossible for me to hear you wrong! You're talking about us and 'you'... 'you' refers to you alone, right? Aren't other people from your investigation department going in with us?"

Speaking of this, Wei Chi seemed to wake up suddenly, and he asked, "Where's your partner?"

Ji Jingzhe interjected: "Sister Yutu, right? Why didn't you see her today? Could it be that she died in that world and you wouldn't let her work?"

Seeing the two of them singing together, Wei Yuan just wanted to poke his own eyes.

Shuoshu smiled and said, "She just greeted you."

Wei Yuan felt something flicker in his peripheral vision, and then saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the side of his face, and knew that he was being targeted by the red dot again.

"Take it away, take it away!" Wei Yuan jumped up.

"Really?" Wei Chi said softly, he seemed to be in a low spirit today, "Why do I think she is greeting you?"

As soon as his voice fell, Shuo Shu's right hand was caught, and Ji Jingzhe moved behind him at some point.

Ji Jingzhe grabbed Shuo Shu's right hand and lifted it up. When that hand slowly passed over his head, the red spot on Wei Yuan's face also slowly rose, and then disappeared.

Wei Yuan turned his head back and forth, looking left and right.

"Don't look for it, it's here." Ji Jingzhe shook Shuoshu's hand, and the others saw the red dot and stuck it on the ring of his middle finger.

"He's lying, his partner is not here at all." Ji Jingzhe said, "There is no sniper rifle on the other side, it's just an infrared transmitter that will automatically track the target point."

"So that's how it is," Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm so scared to death, I don't dare to move while sitting here."

"Can you let me go?" Shuo Shu didn't look up at Ji Jingzhe, but asked Wei Chi instead.

Wei Chi nodded, and Ji Jingzhe immediately shook off Shuo Shu: "Oh, it's bad luck, you have to disinfect it when you go back."

Shuo Shu withdrew his hand, and as his right hand slowly lowered, the red dot returned to Wei Yuan's body, this time facing the middle of the back of his head.

Wei Yuan didn't notice this at all, he scratched his head: "Let me just say, we are a civilized society, and we still have sniper rifles? I believe you—"

Yuan Qi and Gao Qiusuo did not react at all, but felt a gust of wind pass between them, and at the same time Wei Yuan was thrown down by Ji Jingzhe who ran from behind Shuo Shu.

The moment he fell to the ground, Wei Yuan saw an afterimage of a bullet, and shot towards Shuoshu's right hand quickly, but was caught by his backhand.

"It's just an infrared emitter?" Shuo Shu looked down at Wei Yuan and Ji Jingzhe on the ground, released his right hand, and the "bullet" fell on the ground, even bouncing twice elastically—it was a bullet. Gummy bears—if it hadn't melted a bit from the high-speed flight, it should have bounced up the moment it hit the ground.

Yuan Qi: "Mamma Mia."

Ji Jingzhe stood up and patted the corner of her clothes in disgust: "This is the thing that scared you to pee your pants."

"You just peed your pants." Wei Yuan also got up slowly, and picked up the gummy bear by the way, squeezed it, and smelled it again. It was indeed a gummy bear. "It's a waste of food, I despise it."

Shuo Shu ignored him, and instead said to Wei Chi, "Your boyfriend is very skilled."

Wei Chi: "He works out."

"Sure enough," Shuoshu looked at Ji Jingzhe thoughtfully, showing a weird smile, "It would be great if everyone could exercise like this, wouldn't it?"

Seeing Ji Jingzhe and Wei Yuan back on the sofa, Shuoshu raised his voice and asked, "Can we talk now?"

Ji Jingzhe raised her legs proudly.

Wei Yuan found that he was only reliable for a short time when Wei Chi was offline, and when Wei Chi went online, he changed back to this virtue.

Wei Chi: "After you explain clearly the problems of your partner and others."

"Of course." As if the episode that was exposed just now didn't affect his mood at all, Shuoshu continued to say in his flawless voice, "There is a little disagreement within the Special Affairs Investigation Department... No, to be precise, I and Others in the department were divided."

"They think that this incident is caused by the United States, and they want to hand over the investigation power to foreign departments. I don't think so..."

Yuan Qi: "Do you think it was done by our country's own people?"

Wei Yuan interrupted: "Our country, without you, you are not."

Yuan Qi blushed.

"I didn't say that." Shuoshu continued, "But you can understand it that way."

"Why?" Wei Chi asked.

"Sense of smell." Shuo Shu raised his head and moved his nose, "I didn't smell political conspiracy in this incident, but... I don't know, something crazier than politics."

"I have a question," Gao Qiusuo raised his hand like last time, "I don't quite understand what you are saying now, but you just said that we will take the initiative to enter 'that world', is this possible?"

Shuo Shu gave them a brief explanation of Wei Chi's central theory guess.

"But even if this conjecture is true, and 'that world' is centered around Wei Chi, there's no guarantee that we'll be right beside him when it appears, right? Could it be that you want to lock us together for 24 hours?"

"I hope so, but unfortunately, I don't have this authority." Shuo Shu said, "If the entire Special Dispatch Department is dispatched, this building can be emptied and dedicated to your activities, but I am acting alone now. So we have to use other methods."

Shuoshu took out a piece of paper from the bag and put it on the table.

"This is the place where our experts have concluded based on the previous information that the abnormal world is most likely to appear." As he said, the list is full of place names and coordinates." In addition, according to the testimony of a teenager provided by Wei Chi It is said that the appearance of the abnormal world is related to other worlds..."

Wei Chi: "Don't you believe in parallel worlds?"

"I don't care, it's not that I don't believe it." Shuo Shu was unmoved, "After verification, the astronomy department has indeed captured the abnormal cosmic fluctuations before and when the previous abnormalities occurred."

Wei Chi: "Before it happened?"

"Yes, there is an observatory that submits an abnormal waveform report 7 to 8 hours before each 'that world' appears."

"Which observatory is?"

"NASA," Shuo Shu said, "this is one of the reasons why I don't think this incident is a political incident."

"In short, although we don't have the insurance of staying together for 24 hours, these are enough for us to make some plans." He continued, "It's very simple. I will notify you when the abnormal waveform appears, and then we will concentrate on Weichi's itinerary. Just by his side."

Shuoshu stood up: "Of course, after receiving the notice, you can also choose to come or not."

After that, he was ready to leave.

"Wait," Wei Chi shouted, "Who are you talking about experts?"

Shuoshu paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about whether the information could be released. After a while, he said, "Bai Yueguang, Professor Bai."

"Old man?" Ji Jingzhe frowned.

After Shushu left, Wei Chi picked up the paper on the table, walked up to Yuan Qi, and asked him if he had designed these things.

"I can't remember a lot of them. I don't think I've done it before..." Yuan Qi looked it over, and stopped his finger on one of the lines, "Ah, I just finished this last week."

Wei Chi looked down, he was referring to...

"Science and Technology Museum." Wei Chi said softly.

"Brother Chi, I really..." Yuan Qi was about to say something, but Wei Chi who was standing next to him suddenly fell to the side, and the piece of paper fell lightly on Yuan Qi's lap.

Before everyone could react, Ji Jingzhe had already caught Wei Chi. He held Wei Chi in his arms and tried his breath: "It's okay, he fell asleep."

Amidst the relieved complaints of the others, Ji Jingzhe smoothed Wei Chi's hair with trembling hands, and then covered his eyes.
