The man who claimed to be Lao He looked like he was about fifty years old, combing his back, but he was not specifically dyed black, and most of his white hair was mixed in between.

He didn’t wear any uniform. He was wearing a set of dark suits that looked good in materials, cuts, and shapes, but obviously had been around for some years. The leather shoes and belts looked good and durable, but they didn’t look like it. The appearance of the brand.

Lao He also brought a watch that only didn't match the dressing style. The appearance looked strange. It was neither like a traditional electronic watch, nor like a sports bracelet or ordinary smart watch. It had a huge main dial with a screen. Next to it, where the strap is attached, there are two sub-dials that are only the size of the main dial 14 and they look more like some special-purpose tools.

As soon as they entered the conference room, Zhao Feng and Wang De'an instinctively observed Lao He, but they could not tell from these external characteristics what Lao He was from, which department and unit he was from.

However, judging from the attitude of the leader of the task force towards Lao He, it is obvious that Lao He should be higher than him at least in terms of rank and status.

After the leader called the two, he greeted Lao He again, and left the conference room, letting them talk to Lao He alone.

Zhao Feng and Wang Dean looked at each other, and their hearts jumped—even the leaders of the task force had to avoid them. What did they want to talk about?

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Wang, come, sit down, be casual, sit here, and talk." Lao He said with a smile, his brows and eyes were smiling, and he seemed to be very talkative and gentle.

After the two of them sat down, Lao He didn't say much, and cut directly into the subject, saying: "I heard the leaders of you two say... Oh, it's not Lao Li, but Lao Han and Lao Xu, saying that you seem to be investigating Some hallucinations that the suspect saw in the previous case?"

What Lao He referred to as "Lao Li" was the leader of the task force, while "Lao Han" and "Lao Xu" were the leaders of Wang Dean in Pancheng and Zhao Feng in Xitong.

"We just feel that there are some subtle similarities between the hallucinations produced by the suspects in the two cases. Maybe there are some external connections that we haven't figured out yet. So after get off work, in our free time, we will discuss , To exchange ideas, just pure curiosity." Zhao Feng said, considering the sentence.

Wang De'an nodded in agreement and said: "They are all discussed after get off work..." Then he added: "Both cases are closed."

Old He smiled and nodded, and said, "Then have you investigated anything?"

The two young police officers looked at each other again, and then continued to speak with Zhao Feng: "For the time being...there is no definite evidence."

He still did not dare to tell Lao He that he was guided by the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" in his dream and went to Zihuan Mountain to find a few corpses, because this sounded too untrue, and it might make the leader think he had mental problems. .

Lao He said, "Have you seen the news of Montamira in Myanmar today?"

"You mean... Montamira's riot?" Zhao Feng said tentatively.

Lao He nodded and said: "Behind this riot in Montamira, some unfriendly forces secretly spoiled and contributed to the flames, but the end result was that they were self-sufficient and exposed the people behind them. The government of Myanmar I will definitely be more vigilant to them in the future. They are stealing chickens and not loosing rice. But what I want to talk to you about is not this problem, but the monster that appeared in Montamira that many people are discussing on the Internet. 'Or the'giant' illusion, according to many people's descriptions, that illusion has eight arms and eight eyes. Is it a bit like the illusion that the suspects in the two cases you were investigating saw?"

"It's really similar." Zhao Feng said honestly. When he and Wang De'an saw the news about Montamira on the Internet, they immediately connected with what they were investigating.

Wang Dean couldn't help asking: "Leader, do you know what that thing is?"

Lao He smiled at him: "Don't call the leader, just call me Lao He. I don't know what that thing is, and I'm also very curious. So I want to ask you if you are interested, join us and investigate this together. Matter? Um... the next thing to talk about, you have to sign a related non-disclosure agreement, right?"

He said, pushing a folder on the next table.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an immediately got together, carefully looked at the two agreements in the folder, and after discussing a few sentences in a low voice, both suppressed a little excitement, took the pen and signed their name.

Lao He didn't look at the two signed agreements. He threw the folder on the table next to him and smiled and said, "Formally introduce myself. My name is He Haomin. I am the director of the National Research Center for Abnormal Biology.

"In nominal terms, we are the'Biotechnology Development Center' under the Ministry of Science and Technology, but in fact, we have other senior leaders directly connected to each other. What we are doing requires a high degree of confidentiality, so you are in various external On the official website, the name of our organization could not be found either.

"The main thing we do, as the name suggests, is to study some'unusual creatures'. We have reason to suspect that the phantoms you two investigated before and the phantom that appeared in Montamilla last night were all caused by a certain'unusual. It’s a special state of an ‘unusual organism’.

"Originally, under normal circumstances, you can take one or two days to consider it, but this time it is a bit special. My plan is that if you are willing to join, this time I will send you to Montamilla for investigation."

Both Zhao Feng and Wang Dean were a little surprised, and they discussed in a low voice, and both were inclined to accept it. They were indeed curious about this "abnormal biological research center".

But before agreeing, Zhao Feng still asked a question: "May I ask...How did you notice us both?"

He didn’t think that Lao Xu and Wang De’an’s previous leader and partner Han police would take the initiative to report their incidents to the "Abnormal Biological Research Center", and even Lao Han and Lao Xu should be the same as everyone else, and they didn’t know that there was such a department. exist.

Lao He said, "Chen Tianhua...or Mi Qiao, I noticed you when Erythrina was caught by you."

The two of them were shocked when they heard the words, and then immediately understood that when they were in Xia Tong, the leader assured that Mi Qiao's identity was okay, because there was Lao He or his research center behind him.

"Is she yours?" Wang Dean asked subconsciously.

"It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not." Lao He said, "Yes, our specific research and investigation on'unusual organisms' are done together with a certain company, or mainly based on that company. To carry out, our intelligence is more about assistance, supervision and safety assessment. Like if you two are willing to join, after completing the formalities, your establishment will be secretly transferred to the "Non-state Biology Research Center", but on the surface Above, when you act externally, you will have an identity arranged by another company, and will cooperate with the company’s relevant investigators. And Mi Qiao, not a person from the'center', but a person from the company."

Both of them were a little confused, and Zhao Feng subconsciously said: "What company? Is it a subordinate institution of the center?"

Why always laugh and keep silent.

Zhao Feng froze for a moment, and immediately understood, and said, "We are both willing to join."

Wang De'an also nodded in agreement.

He didn't come up with any agreement or something for them to sign immediately. It seemed that he already trusted their verbal agreement and said, "It is'Shenxing Technology'. As for its relationship with the center, you don't need to care. After joining, , You are no longer the police. Remember that you only have relevant investigative powers and no law enforcement powers outside. Any information and data on'unusual organisms' obtained from investigations must be submitted to the'center' or'god Researchers who interact with you from Xing Science and Technology’s are not allowed to leak or deal with violations without authorization. For specific regulations, someone will give you a specific introduction and training later. Of course, it must be after this mission. If someone is with you, just ask him if you have any questions, and he will make sure everything is in compliance."

Seeing that the two of them were still confused and a little confused, Lao He added: "Investigate, collect, and report. This is what you are going to do now. Do not intervene in the specific'research' part, stay curious, and don't With excessive curiosity, abiding by relevant regulations and confidentiality agreements, and having performed a task, I almost understand."

...

At around 12 noon, Xia Libing got up from the computer, put the "cake01" notebook in his pocket, took the chopsticks made by Xiang Kun, and walked to the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator, took out a few pieces of rabbit meat from the freezing layer and put them in the microwave to thaw.

There are actually several cages piled up in the corner of the kitchen, which occupies most of the kitchen. There are more than 20 meat rabbits inside. He contacted the small truck in the morning and brought them back from the place where he bought the meat rabbits from Kun last time.

However, these rabbits were reserved for Xiang Kun to drink blood.

Last month, there was a lot of rabbit meat left by Xiang Kun when he was drinking blood in her place.

The thawed rabbit meat was simply chopped into small pieces. Xia Libing boiled the pot of water and put the rabbit meat directly on the pot and boiled. Apart from sprinkling a little salt, he didn't make any seasoning.

When I thought it was almost cooked, I took it to the living room and started eating.

From last night until now, in order to ensure that Xiang Kun can sense her "like emotions" through the "love objects" at any time, so as to suppress the urge to drink blood and stay sensible and awake, she has not slept.

Although she can enter the "world of consciousness" by borrowing "cake01" to alleviate sleepiness, she can't stay in the "world of consciousness" after all, so she didn't choose to order a meal at noon, nor did she just cook a bowl of instant noodles. Choose to eat only rabbit meat-avoid eating high-carb foods, so that it is not easy to get sleepy after eating.

However, she still underestimated the unpalatability of the boiled rabbit meat she made. After a few bites, she could only take the "crispy pork knuckle", boil the rabbit meat by taking a bite of water, and then take a bite of "crispy" "Skin pork knuckle" way to solve lunch.

Just as Xia Libing was about to finish eating a pot of unpalatable rabbit meat through her own "wit" and "ability", the light in the living room that hadn't been turned on suddenly turned on, and then immediately turned off again, and immediately On, off immediately, on, off, on, off, after a while, it starts to keep on for a second, then off, then on again...

If it is an ordinary person, let alone a girl, he is a man. Even if it is noon now, he should have numbness of his scalp and chills of his back, thinking that something has happened to him.

However, as the first and only person who knew Xiang Kun's secret, Xia Libing reacted immediately-this was Xiang Kun's signal to her.

Although she never called Xiang Kun directly, she never responded to the message she sent. She guessed that Xiang Kun's mobile phone might have been used on a large scale for the "eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving" emotional projection in Montamilla. When something went wrong, it was unavailable, otherwise it is unlikely that she has not been contacted.

Now it seems that this should be the way Xiang Kun contacted her.

After the lights in the living room flashed more than a dozen times, Xia Libing realized that this was a Morse code.

She and Xiang Kun have set a few simple communication passwords, but those passwords are either through records, or through language and Chinese characters, but there is no mention of using Morse passwords.

But the Morse code is a very common, simple and ubiquitous signal code. She knows that Xiang Kun must understand it, and Xiang Kun also knows that she must understand it, so it does not need to be ventilated beforehand.

Xia Libing didn't use paper to take notes, and directly used the flashing signal of the lights in the living room to record in his head.

After a while, she found that Xiang Kun used the living room lighting to express five letters in a circle:

B, W, M, J, P

This is obviously not a complete pinyin, nor a complete English, but Xiang Kun does not need to add another layer of secret in this case.

Xia Libing thought for a while, picked up the phone, opened the WeChat chat box with Xiang Kun, and input these letters using the Pinyin input method, and got two cloud words:

"Buy me a plane ticket", "Help me buy a chicken chop".

Obviously, what Xiang Kun wants to express is the former meaning.

Xia Libing immediately opened the ticket purchase app and used Xiang Kun's name and ID number to purchase a ticket for the nearest flight from Nande City to Zitong City.

...

At Nande City Airport, Xiang Kun, sitting on the bench next to the entrance, exited from the "super-sensing state", waited a few minutes, and then got up and successfully obtained the boarding pass with his ID card.

Indeed, as Xia Libing guessed, his mobile phone was severely damaged during Montamira’s previous emotional projection call, and it could not be turned on. Even the phone card was GG.On the one hand, he is in a hurry and does not want to reissue a mobile phone card in Nande, on the other hand, he does not have enough cash.

When he was at the airport, he originally wanted to borrow the mobile phone of the airport staff to call Lao Xia and ask her to help buy the nearest air ticket. As for the mobile phone card or something, he would wait until he returned.

He has also passed the positioning of Lao Xia’s “Superlink” coin, knowing that she is still in the home where she lived before in Citong City, and speculated that she wants to drink blood in Citong City after she comes back, so Plan to let her buy the earliest air ticket to Erythrina directly.

However, when Xiang Kun saw the flashing lights repairing a certain indicator light at the airport ground service, he got an idea, and entered the "super-sensing state". Through the multiple "super-connected objects" around Lao Xia, he gave the room Try to pass the Morse code.

The letters expressed in the Morse code cycled six times. After she found Lao Xia picking up her mobile phone in a "super-sensing state", Xiang Kun understood that she knew what she meant.

Lao Xia deserves to be Lao Xia, and she really didn't disappoint him.

However, Xiang Kun is still a bit dissatisfied with his abilities. He now has a way to remotely influence electronic products such as mobile phones or computers through “super-connected things” in the “super-sensing state”. If it can be accurately controlled, It's much easier to open the text directly on the computer or mobile phone and display the text you want to express.

Unfortunately, his control is still too rough to perform such precise and precise operations. It is estimated that he can only influence by turning off and on the screen.
