Suspicion

On the open space of the residential complex, Luo Di had already met up with the class monitor.

Both of their clothes and skin were completely covered by a warning red light. However, compared to the class monitor's shock, Luo Di didn't show much change in his expression.

Perhaps it was facial paralysis caused by the zombification of his lower face, or perhaps Luo Di had seen this scene before.

They both gazed at the sky, looking towards the source of the red light.

It was a highly modernized military helicopter, with the capital letter "I" printed on its surface, emphasized by a circular coating.

They had both learned about this symbol in their public textbooks.

It represented an important national institution – the Investigation Bureau.

It screened, trained, and assigned investigators nationwide, handled emergent Anomaly Events in various regions, managed regional control, and was responsible for suppressing and eliminating Imposters.

The Investigation Bureau was the foundation for maintaining national security and stability, and every individual selected to be an investigator was the elite of the elite.

The "advancement" that Luo Di and the others were about to face corresponded to a path leading to the Investigation Bureau. Those who met the performance standards could go to the City Investigation Bureau to participate in the recruitment assessment. Once they passed, they could become probationary investigators.

The helicopter landed, An investigator in black clothing got out and injected a pre-prepared serum into the back of the woman's head.

The injection took effect immediately.

The person instantly fell unconscious and her "Phobia-concretization" was dispelled, returning her to her normal human appearance.

Then, the black pillar was removed from the woman's body, and her body was wrapped in a special film, completing the "Imposter packing."

The entire capture operation was extremely efficient.

The person in black did not leave but turned their gaze towards the two young people dozens of meters away.

Having experienced such a dangerous event and had direct contact with an Imposter, they needed to undergo relevant examinations and also provide a detailed account of the night's events.

Luo Di didn't object; this way, he could get top-level treatment for free.

After all, besides his palm being pierced, "zombification" also came with a price.

Tonight, to wake up the class monitor, he had applied zombification to his face for the first time. This kind of mutation near the head was extremely dangerous; if it touched his Pituitary Gland, it could potentially form a Mind Corner.

Because of this, As the two approached the helicopter, the investigator immediately pressed Luo Di's shoulder and performed a nasal swab test on the spot. Only after confirming there were no issues was he allowed onto the helicopter.

It should be noted that this investigator was the same one who had been responsible for the residential complex lockdown yesterday and had met with the two of them.

The helicopter flew towards the Jupiter City Investigation Branch, which occupied a vast area, a significant portion of which was used for parking.

The entire building was shaped in a ring, encircling the parking area.

Before the helicopter even landed, employees from the "City Research Bureau" were already waiting below. They would transfer the captured Imposter, and subsequently, related work would be carried out in the research bureau's experimental department.

As for the two young people who directly experienced the event, they needed to undergo psychological examinations and physical treatment first.

The sun rose, Three and a half hours had passed.

Luo Di's zombification had been safely reversed with the help of medication, causing no significant harm to his body. His two pierced palms had also received medical treatment and were wrapped in bandages.

As for the class monitor, who had been possessed, she only needed to take a special medication for the next few days to expel any residual impurities from her body, which would not affect her normal life.

Of course, for the next month, the class monitor would need to undergo frequent psychological examinations.

The two were allowed to go to the investigator's cafeteria for a free, delicious breakfast.

After a night of life-or-death struggles and tedious physical examinations, both were exhausted and struggled to keep their eyes open while eating.

However, the Investigation Bureau seemed determined not to give them any rest. After breakfast, they were arranged to go to the "Interview Room."

The investigator responsible for the conversation and recording was still the same one. It seemed that once an event was locked onto, the corresponding investigator had to see it through to the end.

However, The investigator had shed his black mission attire and was now wearing gold-rimmed glasses with his hair slicked back. His dark eyes were like the black pillars that had pierced the Spider Woman's body yesterday.

A work ID was worn on his chest – Ge Wenzhu.

Luo Di first recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

Upon hearing the specific details, including how Luo Di used his zombie fangs to help break the possession, Ge Wenzhu quickly adjusted his glasses to hide a fleeting look of astonishment.

After Ge Wenzhu had recorded the entire sequence of events, he looked at the two of them again.

"Given your contributions to the capture of Imposter Wu Huazhen, the Investigation Bureau will provide you with corresponding rewards afterward.

However, before that, based on your account of the incident and your physical examination results, I have some questions.

Please note, The following Q&A will significantly influence my judgment of your personal situations and whether you have any latent mutation tendencies."

The topic of rewards was instantly shifted to suspicion towards the two of them, and the atmosphere became rather strange.

Ge Wenzhu's hands, which had been resting under his chin, suddenly relaxed. His right hand moved forward to cover their eyes as much as possible, and he slowly raised his index finger.

"First point,"

Ms. Wu Huazhen is a Latent Imposter who has reached maturity.

We previously investigated her murder case; no clues were found at the scene. Her concealment methods are very potent.

Of course, it's highly probable that she received guidance from whispers in the Mind Corner, which helped her perfect her disguise.

Regardless, the target is the type that excels at stealth.

She fled the lockdown of the residential area yesterday after sensing danger, yet she risked returning late at night to target you. This is very strange.

What reason could possibly lead her to take such a huge risk to come back and target you? Is it truly because student Wu Wen's appearance perfectly matches her personal preferences?

Furthermore, I remember very clearly... student Wu Wen happened to come looking for me during yesterday's building lockdown, and she happened to meet Wu Huazhen. Isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?"

As he posed this question, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses looked directly at Wu Wen, wanting her to answer it herself.

"Perhaps it's because my knocking led to close contact with her? Or perhaps my appearance perfectly matched the standards set by her husband or fiancé?"

The investigator immediately denied it, "No... the previous two victims had contact with Ms. Wu Huazhen. As for the husband or fiancé, that's simply not the case; Ms. Wu Huazhen has always been single."

Upon hearing this, Luo Di felt a bit uncomfortable and, breaking from his usual demeanor, interjected:

"Wu Wen spent most of her winter break catching up on studies, with three days off in between. Yesterday was the first day of her break, which you can directly verify with her family. There's no need to speculate here.

As for why an Imposter would be willing to take risks to hunt and kill, in my opinion, it's because they possess sufficient confidence.

Perfect infiltration and surprise attacks during sleep, using the Corner Space as a contingency. From anyone's perspective, two underage students would not survive such a situation.

And it's the same from that woman's perspective."

Luo Di's explanation actually satisfied the investigator.

In fact, Ge Wenzhu had already believed Wu Wen to be normal. After all, she had experienced Possession during this incident, which was enough to rule out most problems. Her subsequent Psychological Test at the Investigation Bureau also came back completely normal.

Ge Wenzhu's true target for questioning was Luo Di.

Taking advantage of Luo Di's interruption, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses slowly turned his gaze, simultaneously handing over a photograph. It was a solo shot of Luo Di taken as the helicopter landed.

The face was magnified.

The half-zombified face was somewhat eerie.

However, there was another very striking feature: his entire eye was bloodshot, with a thick blood vessel running across the pupil.

"Red Vein Through Eye... In our past investigations, only extreme serial killers exhibited such eyes during their hunts.

Did you want to kill at that moment?

Was it our arrival that forced you to suppress your murderous impulse?"

Ge Wenzhu's abrupt change of topic and targeted questioning even surprised the class monitor. However, Luo Di, the subject of the questions, immediately replied:

"Yes, I wanted to kill that Imposter completely, until she couldn't even draw another breath."

"Oh? Very good!"

Ge Wenzhu nodded with a satisfied smile, and the overall atmosphere relaxed.

"Even before graduating, you received affirmation from the Research Bureau, were experimentally granted a Corner-transforming item, and applied it skillfully, even innovatively, when confronting a genuine Imposter, assisting in the removal of Possession and ultimately surviving.

Your eyes showed no trace of fear or timidity, only the resolve to kill.

If not for regulations, I would truly want to recruit you right now."
