[Comprehensive British and American] Chaoying Pet Shop

Saying goodbye to the little boy, Joward returned to the hamster ball and pushed forward along the green line on the map.

He has just fully understood the A-level mission through telepathy.

He knows that this green line does not lead directly to the target, but leads him to clues related to the target.This is the biggest feature of A-level missions: you have to find the mission goals by yourself, and you have to reason and analyze the clues by yourself.

Joe Ward was flying over the city, and the hamster ball faithfully recorded everything around it to form a battle record and upload it.However, one of its camera eyes is blocked by the chubby ball lying on the top.

The hamster ball adjusted the position of the camera several times, but there was no way to record the situation above the hamster ball. In the end, he could only complain to Joward:

"Master, Superman is so fat that Elizabeth's camera is covered by him."

Hearing these words, Qiuqiu Chao jumped up in disbelief: "Su... Supie?!"

Joward: "..." For a moment, I didn't know where to start complaining...

It was still broad daylight, and Joe Ward couldn't let Qiuqiuchao fly in front of the crowd so unscrupulously. He let the hamster ball open the hatch, and Qiuqiuchao flew in.

The green line on the map extended all the way to the outskirts of the city. Joward drove the hamster ball for nearly ten kilometers, and finally found the apex of this green line—an abandoned hospital in the outskirts.

A yellow cordon was stretched around the hospital, flying like a yellow snake in the cold wind.There is a seal on the door, with words such as relocation and blockade written on it.

A common trick of the FBI.Usually, the scene of a major case is densely surrounded by police and reporters; but when an event that is extremely appalling and even shocking occurs, the FBI's blockade will appear extremely simple, with the purpose of deceiving people.

Joward: "...Meringue, there's actually one thing I've always wanted to know. But I don't know how to ask you."

Hearing the words, Qiuqiu Chao confidently flew up to his face, and then assumed the classic Superman pose of "I'm so awesome, hurry up and put your hips on your hips" again: "Supie!"

Joward whispered: "If it's you, will you be scared to cry watching ghost movies?"

Qiuqiu Chao:? ?

This question seriously touched his knowledge blind spot - he really didn't seem to remember whether he had read it or not.

But Qiuqiu Chaoxin is too kind, since Xiao Qiao is curious, then:

"Su~~~~pie~~" When we finish the task and go home, I will watch 8 with you!

The hamster rolled around and squeezed at the door for a long time, but couldn't get in through the hospital's door.Joe Ward had no choice but to let the hamster ball stand by outside the hospital, while he stepped on the gravel and rubble carefully into the abandoned hospital.

The flashlight was on on the back of his phone, and the map on the screen changed again——

The map that originally showed the surrounding 1000 meters, now shows that only the area of ​​the hospital is left.The green navigation lines went straight up the elevator along the corridor, then turned around and arrived at a room at the end of the third floor.

New York's winter light is not good.The deeper you go into the hospital, the lower the visibility of the human eye.There were scattered stretchers in the corridor and broken bottles on the ground.

"Is this an earthquake or something? It seems that there has been a great escape..."

Joe Ward carefully held his mobile phone and advanced in the deserted hospital, with a strong smell of disinfectant and fishy smell at the end of his nose.He didn't dare to take the elevator, he groped to find the fire stairs, pushed open the door and went up.

Qiuqiuchao has been using his clairvoyance since he found the elevator.At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, and grabbed Joward's scarf.

Joward said softly, "What's the matter."

Qiuqiu Chao took out a very, very small communication tool from under his cloak, and began typing:

[I'll go up, you stay here.There are some things you can't see. ]

Joward was a little embarrassed: "What is it, is the hospital haunted?"

In the end, he watched Qiuqiu use the language of the ball super proficiently: Wait, isn't it difficult for him to speak the language of the ball!Why is the speed of getting started still fast enough to take off!

Joward explained seriously: "As long as it's not haunted... I have to go. In A-level missions, the host must have access to clues before they can enter the next link."

Qiuqiu Chao frowned his little eyebrows, still disapproving.But he also knew that he was in a hurry to do the task. After hesitating for a moment, he still held Joward's scarf in his hand while flying, as if blindfolding him at any time.

Joward saw him like this, and he was a little embarrassed:

"Like, if there are ghosts, let's run away?"

Qiuqiu nodded super seriously: "Supie!"

He cautiously came to the room on the third floor, which was an operating room, and pushed the door hard—it was stuck by something.He was struggling in front of the goal, and then saw Qiuqiu Chao grab the door panel with one hand and began to pull it out.

Joe Ward: "That looks like it's going inwards—well pretend I didn't say that."

As soon as his words fell, there was a bang, and the entire door was removed.

The door is the operating room, and there is no hospital ghost in Joward's imagination, only... corpses all over the floor.

Seeing that Qiuqiu was about to come over to cover his eyes in worry, Joward shrank his head and sprinted away.

He covered his nose and mouth with a scarf, trying to block out the strong rancid smell, and stepped into the room.

System: "The host has entered the first clue point. There are three clues waiting for the host to investigate. After the clues are collected, the system will give the next indication location."

Joward recalled the fragments he had seen in the little boy's mind. Although the A-level missions are different, the investigation process seems to be similar - no matter what, the most important clue must be on the corpse.

Joward picked up a pair of relatively clean surgical gloves from the side of the operating table, carefully inspected the corpse, and said, "They all died of a broken cervical spine?"

System: "The first clue has been collected."

Joe Ward: "Uh... no other trauma?"

The system didn't speak.

Joward checked again, and even took out everyone's pockets while apologizing, but the system still didn't give a reply.

Qiuqiu Chao: "Supie?"

Joward looked up at the sound.Qiu Qiuchao stood on the operating table, pointing at a puddle of reddish-brown stuff on it with his little finger, which looked like a combination of feces and blood.

"Is it the excrement of that thing?" Joe Ward thought, holding his nose. "What are these medical staff doing here? Are they dissecting?"

He looked around the operating table again, but didn't find many dissection tools, but saw an ax and a chainsaw.

"Chainsaw anatomy... so hardcore?"

In addition to excrement, there were also some lime-like things scattered on the operating table.Joe Ward took off his gloves, twirled them with his fingers, and said uncertainly, "Is this...concrete?"

System: "The second clue has been collected."

The last clue made Joe Ward and Qiuqiu Chao stuck for almost 10 minutes.

He rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the operating room, almost looked through all the drawers he could see, and all the medical records he could flip through. Even later, he said what he could see, trying to blindly spy on clues, but the system never responded.

"... Ah... It would be great if I could ask for help outside the bat field at this time..."

Joe Ward was exhausted and collapsed, squatting on the edge of the operating table thinking desperately, Qiuqiu Chao was rubbing his head.

It was quiet in the operating room. The five dead bodies were of different shapes, and they seemed to be resting with their eyes closed.

Close your eyes and rest?

"Why are their eyes closed? Or are they in a state about to open—isn't it being dissected? They all fell asleep during the dissecting, and then they were killed?"

Joe Ward was puzzled, but still said to Qiuqiu: "How strange are their eyes..."

System: "The third clue has been collected. Please the host go to the next designated location."

Joward: ? ?

He couldn't figure it out, and saw the map on the phone screen change again, a new green navigation line, extending downstairs from where he was, to the back door of the hospital.

He poked his watch. The hamster ball was already on standby in the parking lot at the back of the hospital.There were a few ambulances parked scattered in the parking lot. The guardrail at the entrance seemed to have been violently knocked open, leaving two hasty ruts on the ground.

"They shipped that thing away?"

After leaving the hospital, the green navigation line continued to extend towards the suburbs and onto the highway.

Joward manipulated the hamster ball to track all the way, and finally found the overturned ambulance by a lake four or five kilometers away from the hospital.

With the rear door open, Joe Ward jumped out of the hamster ball and climbed into the car to investigate. The two paramedics were breathless.

Back in the front seat, the necks of the driver and co-pilot were also broken.On the mobile phone in the co-pilot's hand, only half of the text message was sent:

we can't escape...

Joward looked serious.He turned his head to look at Qiuqiuchao flying in the air, and inexplicably saw burning anger in Qiuqiuchao's Doudou's eyes.

Whatever SCP 173 is, it does piss off Superman right now.

There was another pool of feces and bloody excrement in the compartment.Qiuqiuchao flew high, opened his perspective eyes, and concentrated on searching for traces left by this creature within a radius of dozens of miles.There are open fields and lakes around here, but three kilometers ahead, you will enter a small town on the outskirts of the city-the population density there is greater, and the casualties may be even more severe.

Qiuqiuchao found something, and flew out with a loud bang.

Joward was still surveying in the car seat, but he found that the map in the phone, the green navigation line, was constantly changing drastically.

There is only one possibility to explain this situation: the end of the navigation green line is connected to something that is moving at super high speed.

The extent of its movement is astounding: in Joward's 1000-meter visible map, the navigation green line was still pointing to the west in the last second, and extended to the east in the next second.But when it was moving, it seemed to have a subtle sense of stagnation, and there was an interval of two or three seconds between each movement-it seemed that something made it temporarily static.

Joe Ward couldn't keep his eyes open: "Go, go east 300... No, no, it's in the southwest, Elizabeth, hurry up and push it at full speed... Wait, it's moving again..."

He was extremely helpless, but in the next second, he saw the green navigation line pointing straight to the north—that was the direction of the town.

"Puff pastry! This thing is going to town!" Joward was so nervous that his palms were sweating, "I'll meet you in a while!"

Qiuqiu kept his clairvoyant eyes open all the way, before he even finished speaking, he turned around and flew towards the north; he had already broken through the speed of sound at the moment of takeoff, and a small sonic boom cloud exploded in the air.

Joe Ward hurriedly ran to the hamster ball, ready to take off and follow the ball to leave.Holding on to the hatch of Hamsterball, he looked at the map one last time.

Then he discovered that the green navigation line had changed again.

The navigation green line that extended out of the map before has become a very short section at this moment.So short that it doesn't even seem to exceed 200 meters—

Connected between himself, and SCP173.
