The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 117 Friends of Gods and Ghosts 6

"…Are you sure?"

"It must be weird..."

"Only the weird that is still unknown can transform the living and the dead without distinction, ghosts can't do it!"

A traffic accident caused by drunk driving hit one of the missing persons in the rich man's disappearance case, and also revealed some clues to the missing case that had no clues at all.

As if they finally caught a thread from a tangled ball of wool, the team sent by the Special Processing Department decisively grasped this clue and started an investigation.

In just one week, as many as eight people were missing. In addition to Zhang Mingda who was accidentally found in a traffic accident, the other seven people are still missing. Taking the street lamp as the entry point, no new street lamps were found, let alone seven street lamps-this means that the missing persons were not directly turned into new street lamps, but merged with a street lamp that already existed.

This also means that it is impossible to find the missing persons by looking for "street lamps that suddenly appeared overnight". There are so many streets and street lamps in the whole city of Chengdu. It is even more difficult to find the street lamps related to the seven missing persons in the short term.

Even if they use a lot of manpower and material resources to really select street lamps that meet the standards, or even if the missing persons are transformed, there is no way to turn the street lamps back into people!

The Special Processing Department does have many magical props, but it does not include props to turn humans who have turned into street lamps back.

The members of the Special Processing Department with rich experience grasped the key at the first time: "First, we must test the weird rules and figure out which level this weird belongs to..."

The so-called weird is different from the ghosts that the living beings turn into after death. It is a weird thing that does not have wisdom and self-awareness and only operates by special rules. Ghosts can be eliminated, communicate like living things, and can even be controlled and tamed by people, but weirdness is impossible.

If the whole world is a running computer, then weirdness is the program that constitutes the whole world like the wind, frost, rain and snow in nature, and it only operates according to specific rules. Humans can neither destroy it nor communicate with it. The only thing they can do is to find the operating rules or bugs of this program and use or restrict it.

The job of the Special Processing Department is to restrict weirdness. Compared with weirdness, evil spirits are cute in their eyes.

As for the level of weirdness, the Special Processing Department has formulated a set of unified standards for the seven countries based on the degree of threat to human society and the degree to which it needs to be restricted.

Level V is the highest level. If it is not restricted, it will destroy human civilization. Therefore, the meaning of Level V weirdness is: it must be restricted at all costs.

IV: If it is not restricted, the limit is to destroy a country. Or it needs to pay a terrible price to restrict it.

III: If it is not restricted, the limit can kill tens of millions of people. Or it needs to continue to pay a large price to restrict it.

II: The threat is low, or the damage can be limited to a certain range with a little sacrifice.

I: No threat, or it can be perfectly restricted.

In addition, there are some more special weirdnesses whose levels are difficult to judge, and they will be classified as X-level outside the theory.

For example, there was once a monster codenamed "The Piper". It would appear randomly at any time and any place, and anyone who heard the sound of the flute would die instantly. According to the degree of destruction, it can undoubtedly be classified as level V. But on the one hand, the number of people who can hear the sound of the flute at the same time is limited. If you want to exterminate all mankind, you have to travel around the world to let everyone hear the sound of the flute. On the other hand, as long as it is perfectly soundproof, it will not be a threat if no one can hear it. Therefore, the final evaluation level of this monster is level III.

——It is impossible for people all over the world to isolate the sound for 24 hours, but it will not be a threat if everyone becomes deaf.

Later, the people in the Special Processing Department used a monster called "Infinite Loop Train" to restrict it.

It is said that anyone who gets on this train will never get off, and can only loop infinitely on the train, which is equivalent to a terrifying maze. After using some special props to lead the Piper onto the infinite loop train, and then placing the infinite loop train in an absolutely soundproof place, it will be perfectly restricted. As a result, the level of the Piper fell to level I.

Therefore, even though the families of the missing persons urged them one after another, the members of the Special Processing Department who appeared as special agents were not in a hurry. In their opinion, the missing persons were mostly dead, and the most important thing now was not to save them, but to find out what this weird rule was and find a way to restrict it, so as to prevent more uninformed people from accidentally violating the weird rule and disappearing from the world.

If you want to save people without knowing what the weird rule is, the final result will only hurt others and yourself.

As for how to figure out the weird rule? In addition to testing it again and again with human lives, is there any better way?

The death row prisoners in the prison are undoubtedly the best cannon fodder.

In the past, the Special Processing Department did this. They signed contracts with death row prisoners and used them as cannon fodder death squads to execute various ideas to test the specific rules of the weird. If a person dies, his family will be compensated to a certain extent. If he survives, he can get a commutation of sentence, and the death penalty can be changed to life imprisonment! Even more, if some death row prisoners who are willing to take a gamble dare to participate in the death squad many times and survive again and again, then each time they can reduce a part of their sentences. At present, the only lucky person has participated in the exploration of different weird rules. His sentence has been reduced to ten years. He still did not give up and participated in the fourth time, and then there was no more.

However, the situation this time is obviously more special.

The eight missing persons who have appeared so far are all well-known wealthy people in Rongcheng. In other words, it is very likely that only wealthy people will be within the scope of this weird rule, and death row prisoners do not meet the "hunting target" of the weird at all.

"...So, what we have to do now is to give them the identity of a rich man." The person who spoke was the captain of the team sent by the Special Processing Department, "Bai Yue". She was a slender young woman with a half-mask on her face, revealing only her sharp eyebrows and eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse.

——There are all kinds of weird things in this world, and the rules are hard to guard against. Perhaps the exposure of appearance or name will bring the risk of death, so the Special Processing Department has always used code names to show people, and even the facial appearance will be covered to a certain extent. So "Bai Yue" is undoubtedly the code name of this team leader.

The Special Processing Department has privileges that are superior to many departments during the execution of tasks. At Bai Yue's order, soon, the selected death row prisoners have their own huge bank cards and multiple company industries.

The owners behind these industries are the Special Management Department, just to facilitate the various needs of dealing with weirdness. At this time, just change the name of the owner, which is very simple.

All the selected prisoners, like the white mice in the control group experiment in the laboratory, are given different identities. Some are just wealthy people, and some own companies. After all, Bai Yue is not sure whether the strange rules target wealthy people or company owners.

Then, based on the investigation of the eight missing people's actions on that day, the prisoners completely replicated their behavior. What time did they get up, what time did they eat breakfast, what time did they go to the company, and what did they do in the company? Under Bai Yue's strict requirements, they almost copied them exactly. Only some details were changed. In scientific logic, it is to judge what behavior these people violated the strange rules and disappeared.

In such an almost cost-free investment, using the lives of death row prisoners one after another as a test, during this period, two more wealthy people in Rongcheng suddenly disappeared. The team finally figured out what strange rules the missing people violated-

"Overtime? It was actually overtime?"

Faced with the results of a group of control experiments, "Bai Yue" came to this conclusion in surprise.

"If you own at least one company or are judged to be the boss of a company, once your employees continue to work overtime after completing the normal working hours, will they violate the weird rules?"

In order to test whether her conclusion is correct, she used her privileges to force other companies in Rongcheng not to work overtime beyond the working hours in the next week. And in the next week, no one disappeared.

So, the basic rules she summarized were indeed correct.

Even if you have seen all kinds of strange and weird rules, this weird rule is too outrageous!

Compared to the naturalness of other weird rules, this weird rule has a taste of being set by someone in her eyes. If the former is a rainstorm brought by nature, the latter is like artificial rainfall created by the mastermind behind the scenes.

——But how is this possible?

——Weirdness is like a natural disaster, which cannot be eliminated, predicted, or created. She was told this rule from the first day she entered the Special Processing Department.

If someone can control natural disasters, change natural disasters, and create natural disasters, such a person can only be called a "god", right?

——And there are no gods in this world. Even the so-called "fallen god" was sealed thousands of years ago and became the villain in the legends passed down from generation to generation by ordinary people. It is also the only V-level weirdness in the archives of the Special Processing Department. Thousands of years ago, there was no Special Processing Department. The weirdness at that time was also regarded as demons, monsters, gods, and ghosts by the ancients.

As a descendant, Bai Yue had the honor to look at the archives that continued from thousands of years ago. Whenever he thought about it, he still felt sincere admiration for the people who dared to kill gods thousands of years ago.

But even the most terrifying fallen god in the archives did not have the ability to create weirdness in historical records. How could there be an existence that can create weirdness now?

"I really think too much. Is it because of too much pressure recently?" Bai Yue laughed and shook his head, "After all, I just investigated the sudden death of workers working overtime not long ago..."

The weirdness of "randomly selecting lucky overtime workers" to cause them to die suddenly from overtime, Bai Yue is still impressed. After all, there has been no effective restriction on the monster until now!

The only way to restrict the monster from harming people is to make sure that there are no more workers working overtime late at night in the world. Otherwise, the monster will randomly pick a poor guy!

But is it possible to make sure that there are no more workers working overtime in the world? Even this small Rongcheng can't do it.

Even if the country promulgates relevant laws, capitalists will always have loopholes to exploit. They have all been informed of the strange existence. Even after knowing that there is such a strange existence that randomly selects overtime workers and kills them, the capitalists are still indifferent.

With the fluke mentality of "Maybe the person who died is an unlucky person from another company, why must it be me who is unlucky? Even if it's unlucky, it's not me who dies anyway. Even if one person dies, it's impossible for someone to die every day." They would rather wait for a while What can Bai Yue do, who has no time to pay for compensation but is unwilling to give up the high profits gained from squeezing labor and can only be regarded as a worker in the Special Treatment Department?

She could only sign a special contract with this group of stubborn guys so that they could not reveal the existence of the Department of Weird and Special Processing in any way, and then left disappointed.

Thinking of this, Bai Yue was suddenly stunned.

A sudden inspiration led her to brainstorm.

The last time something weird happened was in the Tianjing Building, this time several companies that had an incident were also in the Tianjing Building. One randomly selected the employees to work overtime, and the other randomly selected the boss to let the employees work overtime. Is this really just a coincidence?

There shouldn't be any special connection between these two weirdos, right?

"This incident seems not that simple..."

If you want to solve this mystery, you must go back to the headquarters to borrow a prop. So, is it necessary to go to such great trouble?
