The fish was still alive, but the fish was still alive.
Li Yin looked at it again, and felt that this fish was not a new species, but a mutant.
"Senior, is this really not a mutation caused by radiation?"
Su Ji came over. She also thought that this fish was not good-looking, but the facts would not lie.
The teacher brought back five samples in total. The appearance of each fish was basically the same, some were big and some were small. The difference between the mature and juvenile development could be seen by comparison, which was consistent with the characteristics of a new species.
"Don't worry, the teacher has tested it. There is no trace of radiation. It is a normal creature."
Is this a normal creature?
Just by looking at the appearance, Li Yin could think of the mutant girl in Luoan Town and Uncle Chen's transformation. It was hard not to make that connection.
"What do these guys eat? Do they bite people?"
"They eat meat, a bit like piranhas, but they don't show aggression towards humans, so they are relatively safe."
"Is that so..." Li Yin reached out and touched the water surface, and the ugly fish in it immediately came closer, quite obedient.
"Where did you find this fish?"
"In a tributary of the Chaoyi River, um...near Luoan Town."
Luoan Town?
Li Yin is now particularly sensitive to this name. The river next to Luoan Town is indeed a tributary of the Chaoyi River.
When she was a child, she went down to fish with her childhood friend, but she had never seen such an ugly one.
"Did Professor Fang find the fish? When did it happen?"
"It was brought back yesterday. Professor Zhang and Professor Fang went there specially."
"Professor Zhang? Professor Zhang Hairen?"
"Yes, do you know him too?"
"Well, the professor is a friend of my parents. I had the honor of meeting him once. Senior sister, do you know them? Did they go to Luoan Town?"
Su Ji thought for a while: "Probably not. The professor and his friends wanted to bring the samples back to the laboratory as soon as possible. They didn't stay for long. They just took the samples and came back."
Li Yin nodded. It should be that she thought too much.
"By the way, senior sister, have you gone to see Yuner these days? She talks about you every day."
"I went to school to see her yesterday. She is now in the third year of high school and is very busy. I didn't stay for long."
Thinking of the reluctant look of the girl when he left, Su Ji sighed helplessly.
This girl has loved to stick to him since she was a child. She has not changed at all after being separated and growing up.
The little girl who followed him since childhood and called him "Sister Su Ji" in a soft voice is finally about to usher in an important moment in her life.
"Hehe, senior sister, last time, Yuner asked me about your preferences, and said that she would pursue you vigorously in college."
Yu Yuner did say this, but she asked Li Yin to keep it secret.
Li Yin felt that it would be much more useful to talk about this matter openly than to hide it, so she simply betrayed her little friend.
Su Ji's face. Her face was visibly red, and she quickly turned her head away, her voice trembling: "You...what are you talking about, how could Yoona say these things! We are sisters, you must have made them up!"
Li Yin smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I made them up. Senior sister, please don't tell Yoona, otherwise she won't talk to me."
Su Ji didn't answer, and the blush on her face faded away for a long time. She turned her head and coughed and asked: "Xiao Li, how did you and Yoona know each other?"
"Netizens. We both like to read supernatural stories. We discussed them together on a forum several times, and we became familiar with each other."
"Is that so..." Senior sister Su Ji didn't dwell on this matter, but turned to the cabinet next to her and took out a few books: "Okay, start learning, if you don't know anything, how can you be my assistant."
Isn't it still a holiday today?
Li Yin's mouth twitched: "Senior, you are taking revenge!"
"Hehe, who told you to tease me? You deserve to be punished! Now, let's start learning about new species."
Looking at Li Yin's depressed expression, Su Ji smiled and touched her head: "Okay, I'm just kidding, I'm not angry."
"Then..."
"Then let's start from the first lesson."
"..."
"I'll add your name to the paper when the time comes."
"Great!"
...
In the evening, Li Yin returned to the dormitory with the information given by her senior. The style in the dormitory was basically the same as in the morning. Wang Yue and her squeezed on a chair and watched TV dramas all afternoon, and Sun Tingting was still studying.
"Li Yin, what did you do in the afternoon?"
Wang Yue looked at the big schoolbag behind the girl curiously,
I felt like I could break my waist.
"I took classes with my senior sister all afternoon. She seemed to have an observation experiment and needed to write a paper, so she asked me to be her assistant."
She had tried to make things sound light, but it still caused a burst of exclamations from her roommates.
"Assisting senior sister Su? That's amazing!"
"Li Yin, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to participate in the experiment when you are only a freshman?"
"She is in the same department as my senior sister, and she is the only student in the class."
"I am so envious! Can I still transfer to another department now?"
"By the way, there will be a lecture by Professor Fang tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight and don't miss it."
...
Li Yin ordered a takeaway and lay on the table to browse the forum.
I haven't checked it for two days. There are no useful posts updated on the forum. Even the story of the smiling man from a while ago has been pushed up again. The reason is that a netizen took a photo of the smiling man at night, which looks a bit like the uncanny valley effect, so netizens have dug up that post again.
But this is just the netizens' self-entertainment. The man looks like neither a ghost nor a mutant creature. He just took a picture of an ordinary person smiling.
But this is normal. Ning Zhu said that there are not so many ghosts in Linhai. He can only say that he is lucky to meet more than a dozen.
"Ah... I miss Ning Zhu. Why is it not evening yet..."
Li Yin is now looking forward to video chatting with his girlfriend in the evening, although they have only been separated for less than a day.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Officer Liu, asking him when he will be back.
As a result, he did not get a response. It seems that he is still dealing with the matter in Luoan Town.
After all, tens of thousands of people died, and it is not something that can be dealt with in a short time.
After eating takeout and reading for a while, around seven o'clock, Li Yin ran to the bed with headphones in the surprised eyes of his three roommates, and even covered his head.
"What is this girl doing?"
"I don't know. Is she watching something indecent behind our backs?"
"What are you thinking about..."
Not long after, there was a whisper from above. The three people below didn't make any noise. They all listened carefully with their ears tilted.
But Li Yin's voice was too soft, and she couldn't hear anything behind the quilt.
...
Ning Zhu sat on a chair, flipping through the information on the desk, and went straight to the point: "Regarding that symbol, I checked our family's information and it did appear. The earliest one was thirty years ago. A person in the office who did evil and was hunted by my grandfather had a similar tattoo on his body."
Ning Zhu showed Li Yin a photo. It was a man with an identical tattoo on his shoulder.
"The second time was thirteen years ago. Our family... My office cooperated with the police to investigate a missing child case. The location was the Linhai Child Care Center on the outskirts of the city. In the photos taken by my father at the scene, I found this symbol. It was drawn on the ground by a child."
Linhai Child Care Center?
Is it an orphanage?
Did Senior Sister Su Ji and Sister Yu Yuner ever live here?
But this is not important. What is important is why the child knows the cult symbol and can draw it? Could this place be related to the cult?
Remembering this name, Li Yin is going to check it out later.
"The last time was ten years ago, the gas attack on a residential building in Linhai that shocked the whole country. That's what was said to the outside world, but the fact is that ghosts were causing chaos, and that ghost was very unusual. It is said that it was still alive the previous second, but suddenly became a ghost, and the breath on its body was abnormally evil, completely different from the common ghosts. At that time, it took the support of the five offices in Linhai and the Abnormal Bureau to take it down, and dozens of people were killed and injured. I saw a similar pattern in the photos at that time, but there was no record of what this pattern represented in my family's information, and it seemed that no one noticed it."
This last time, was it the incident that Officer Liu mentioned? He was forced to embark on the road of tracking down the cult, and the investigation lasted for ten years.
Li Yin was a little touched. The data accumulated by the firm for decades must be quite huge. Ning Zhu was able to go through it in such a short time and find relevant records from it. She really kept her words in mind and went all out to investigate.
Who wouldn't like such a girl?
"Sorry, Li Yin, I didn't find any useful information. I'll ask Uncle Ye and the others tomorrow. Maybe they know something."
"..."
"Li Yin? What are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
She talked nonstop for several minutes, but the screen on the other side was not only dark and couldn't see the face clearly, but there was no sound at all, which made her a little depressed.
Li Yin moved her phone and pointed the camera at her mouth so that Ning Zhu could see her face.
's smile.
"I'm thinking about you."
Ning Zhu: "..."
"I'm talking about serious matters! Can you wait a while before you act funny!"
"Thank you, Ah Zhu. Are you tired of looking up these materials? Go and have a rest. These materials are very useful."
"What's the use? You just know how to fool me..."
Ning Zhu got up and lay down on the bed.
Li Yin took the opportunity to observe. The layout of the room was simple and warm. There were several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, adding a little artistic atmosphere. There were some books and stationery on the desk, which looked neat and orderly.
Ning Zhu was lying on the soft bed at the moment, covered with a light blue quilt, looking comfortable and cozy.
"Your room is so clean, Ah Zhu."
Ning Zhu smiled: "Well, I like to keep it tidy. It makes me feel better."
"I just checked the address of our office. Is it in a small building in the suburbs?"
"Yes, there is a sign."
"It's so remote, how can we attract customers?"
"There's no way. It's not profitable. If we move to a bigger place, we won't be able to make ends meet."
"Just wait for me to join. I'm good at finding ghosts!"
"Are you sure you want to join the office?"
"Let's talk about it on Saturday."
...
Below, the three roommates looked at each other and gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
Wang Yue: "Is Xiao Liyin video chatting with someone?"
Lu Qing: "It seems so. I heard the chatter. She was wearing headphones when she went up there."
Sun Tingting: "With whom? Senior Su Ji?"
Lu Qing: "No, she was laughing so happily. It's obvious that they have a special relationship."
Wang Yue: "Special? What else could it be?"
Sun Tingting suddenly said: "Do you think he's her boyfriend?"
Wang Yue and Lu Qing looked at each other and were shocked.
Xiao Liyin usually looks very quiet and indifferent to people. She always feels a sense of distance. I didn't expect that she was in love?
And she's the first one in our dormitory!
Considering that she was missing for one day and two nights, this possibility is even higher!
Wang Yue said tentatively: "Maybe, Xiao Liyin is so low-key at ordinary times. If she is really in love, she will definitely not tell us easily."
Sun Tingting was a little worried: "Xiao Liyin is still so young, what if she was deceived?"
"Hey, Tingting, she just looks small..."
Lu Qing's gossip fire was burning, and she climbed onto the bed in no time. She first tossed the quilt on it, pretending to go to bed, and then quietly lifted a corner of Liyin's quilt and looked inside.
It was dark inside the quilt, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Lu Qing moved closer and finally saw the picture on Liyin's mobile phone.
In the picture, a girl was lying on her side on the bed, with straight black long hair, sweet and heroic looks, smiling at the screen, and I don't know what she was saying.
Lu Qing was stunned. This... This seems to be a girl?
Then she saw Li Yin waving at the phone: "Good night, Ah Zhu, have a good rest, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Yeah, love you~"
Lu Qing: "..."
Seeing that Li Yin was about to hang up, she returned to her bed at a very fast speed, sank into the quilt, and widened her eyes.
What the hell? !
Could it be...
Thinking of that possibility, Lu Qing quickly patted the two people below, and Wang Yue and Sun Tingting showed their heads and just saw Lu Qing's confused look.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you? So anxious?"
Lu Qing took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said: "I just saw the picture on Xiao Li Yin's phone, the person who was video chatting with her... seems to be a girl!"
"What?!"
Wang Yue and Sun Tingting both exclaimed and hurried over.
Sun Tingting guessed in disbelief: "Although Xiao Liyin looks cold, she shouldn't like girls, right?"
Lu Qing shook her head: "I don't know, I just saw a side profile, but it was definitely a girl."
Wang Yue suddenly thought of a possibility: "Do you think it could be Xiao Liyin's friend or sister? After all, we don't know her family situation."
Just after she finished speaking, the quilt opposite was lifted, and the three of them looked over and saw Liyin's face flushed, with a happy smile on her lips.
"..."
The case was solved!
