Someone Has Been Categorized

"Ten years ago, encountering this kind of mess already meant I was unlucky, right?"

Facing Zhang Chiguo's sigh, Han Su didn't feel anything special himself. Instead, he felt a bit of anticipation and said, "So, what exactly is this thing?"

Actually, Zhang Chiguo could be considered the person Han Su trusted the most in the past. After all, the first time he escaped from the bunker and was abandoned by everyone, only Zhang Chiguo took care of him.

Meeting him again, at such a sensitive time, Han Su felt a sense of destiny. He had prepared many things to say.

But Zhang Chiguo didn't let Han Su speak. In a few glances, he scanned the written statement. He seemed to be struggling with something, and then, this struggle quickly led to a decision. He suddenly looked at Han Su and said:

"You can go back!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Chiguo slowly stood up and said to Han Su, "The Xu family's child and that Mr. Xu's assistant have been waiting for you outside since just now. You can leave directly and distance yourself from this case."

"But Xiao Han..."

He paused, then seriously stared into Han Su's eyes and advised, "Take my advice and forget this spell."

"Song Chushi is a dangerous individual. Many cities don't allow him entry. Within the Disaster Management Department, his file has a higher security clearance than mine."

"Ten years ago, your escape was your good fortune. You should keep moving forward and not get dragged into these matters again."

"This is a scheme, and you are an unlucky person."

"A scheme?"

Han Su was a bit surprised. He never expected Zhang Chiguo to say something like this right after meeting him.

Even Zhang Chiguo's expression was conflicted at this moment.

He seemed to want to say something, but found that anything he said would violate the rules. Even if it was out of good intentions, it was clearly difficult for him, who was usually so upright.

In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Xiao Han, I've actually been keeping an eye on you. I know you got into Qinggang University and are doing well. I also know you listen to the Public Security Bureau and often see a psychologist to see if you can come up with any valuable clues."

"But just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Some things can't be explained clearly, so you can only hide. The further you hide, the better. Leave the professional matters to the professionals."

"..."

Listening to Zhang Chiguo's comforting words, Han Su vaguely grasped something, and his heart tightened slightly.

Did Zhang Chiguo perhaps know some clues?

Before, Zhang Chiguo's attitude towards him was no different from that of the victims' families. Those families wanted to find their children, and Zhang Chiguo wanted to solve the kidnapping case.

They had no other options, so they could only come to him again and again, hoping to get some valuable clues from his mind that could solve the case.

But now, Zhang Chiguo seemed like a completely different person, his attitude towards wanting Han Su to stay out of it was even stronger.

This could only mean that he had already learned some truths and was sure of his innocence.

Perhaps, he even believed in the existence of monsters?

But why, even so, had he never contacted him again? Now that they met, he only wanted him to leave quickly?

"Professionals?"

While his mind raced, Han Su put on a smile. "Uncle Zhang, in my eyes, you are already a very professional person."

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I also want to know, are you still investigating this case?"

His question was direct and serious.

If it were anyone else, Han Su knew his question would be meaningless. They could easily brush him off, but Zhang Chiguo wouldn't.

No matter what kind of world it was, as long as humans existed, there would inevitably be good people, a special kind of existence. Zhang Chiguo was one of them.

As expected, after Han Su asked the question, Zhang Chiguo's hand, which was holding a cigarette, suddenly stopped. He was silent for a long time, as if his head was heavy and he couldn't lift it to meet Han Su's eyes.

After a long while, he spoke in a low voice, "The original case file for this incident has always been in my drawer."

Han Su asked, "Just sitting there?"

This time, Zhang Chiguo didn't speak again, just took a deep drag from his cigarette.

"Uncle Zhang, I also know that the kidnapping case we encountered was extremely bizarre. Before, I could even understand why you didn't believe what I said, why those people kept asking me for the truth, because..."

Han Su paused, then said with a wry smile, "Monsters kidnapping people, it does sound a bit strange."

"But now, I know about the existence of the killer truck."

He looked directly into Zhang Chiguo's eyes. "Since such evil things are real, why must the kidnapping case I experienced back then be fake?"

"Don't ask anymore."

Before Han Su could finish, Zhang Chiguo suddenly looked up, his expression unusually serious. "The kidnapping case from ten years ago was merely the fantasy of a frightened child. It has already been categorized as such."

Han Su abruptly looked up. "Categorized? Who categorized it?"

Zhang Chiguo couldn't answer and could only remain silent.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, saying in a low voice, "I don't know Song Chushi's intentions in giving you this spell."

"But what I can tell you is that it will lead you into an endless abyss."

"What you should do now is forget this spell and use the Xu family's influence to distance yourself from this incident that was never related to you in the first place."

"Go back to school, continue your studies, find a job, find a girlfriend, continue your life..."

"..."

Han Su sensed goodwill in Zhang Chiguo's words, but now he only found them laughable. He slowly shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhang, I no longer have a normal life to speak of..."

"Right now, I'm just very sure that I saw that kind of ghostly thing!"

"I want to know, is this kind of ghostly thing the same kind as the monster I encountered?"

"What I want to know even more is, you clearly know that this kind of thing exists, so why didn't anyone believe me when I encountered the monster back then?"

"..."

Zhang Chiguo's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He appeared to want to issue a warning to Han Su.

But thinking of Han Su's predicament and experiences, thinking of this child he watched grow up, he could only let out a helpless sigh, "Is now the time to be calculating these things?"

"Do you know that the thing you encountered was originally sealed in an abandoned section of road and wouldn't have been encountered by you."

"Since you encountered it, it means someone deliberately released this thing."

"I've seen the files. I believe the person who wanted to scheme against was the Xu family, and you were just a coincidence."

"But your identity is special. You've been dragged into this matter, which is more troublesome than that child from the Xu family!"

As he spoke, he even seemed a bit weary. He took a deep breath before saying, "It's because you met me this time that you had a chance to escape this trouble. If someone else had handled it, you wouldn't have gotten away so easily!"

"So, leave. Never mention tonight's events again, and don't mention that kidnapping case from ten years ago either. Just pretend, nothing ever happened."

"What kind of logic is that?"

Han Su knew he was trying to help him, but a wave of irritation still rose in his heart. His eyes narrowed slightly, and inside, it was as if a beast was roaring.

The interval was shortening. Last time, he was caught back in half a month.

This time, how long would it be?

Ten days? Or a week?

Han Su couldn't afford to gamble. Maybe he'd be dragged back first thing in the morning. What could he do then?

That thing didn't reason with him!

Facing Han Su's eyes, which were about to overflow with anger, Zhang Chiguo suddenly had the urge to speak. But in the end, he could only slowly shake his head and say in a low voice, "This world is just like this."

"If someone says it's fake, then it's fake!"

"Go!"

He waved his hand wearily and said, "Leave now, immediately. And never say such things again in the future."

"Okay."

Han Su actually calmed down.

Of course, he couldn't give up investigating this matter, but he understood Zhang Chiguo. He knew that once he made up his mind, nothing he said now would be useful.

However, perhaps he could persuade him by talking about how he kept getting kidnapped back to the past. It's just that it couldn't be in this environment. Zhang Chiguo's worry was too obvious, and he kept hinting that Han Su needed to find a more discreet opportunity to talk to him.

Outside the door, he saw the people guarding outside, who looked like Zhang Chiguo's subordinates.

Their gazes upon him were filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

Han Su walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open the unlocked iron door. He saw many Public Security Bureau investigators standing around in twos and threes. Hearing the sound of the iron door, they instinctively stood at attention.

But at a glance, they saw it was Han Su, and their expressions turned somewhat strange. The young police officer who had just interrogated Han Su's eyes widened immediately:

"Who let you out?"

"..."

Han Su glanced back at the interrogation room and said, "They did."

The young police officer was immediately choked, his eyes unfriendly.

But in front of his Public Security Bureau colleagues and captain, the one with the brown glasses immediately stopped the flat-haired young investigator with a look. Instead, he smiled and led Han Su to a nearby table to register.

His voice carried a lot of goodwill: "Leave your phone number and address, and you can go back."

"But be sure to write clearly!"

"This matter isn't over yet, after all. We might need to call you over at any time to clarify some things."

"..."

Han Su looked up at the eyes hidden behind the brown glasses, deeply remembering his appearance. The suppressed fire in his heart waited to be released, and the corners of his mouth twitched slowly.

Just as he was about to answer, he saw the capable woman in the black suit suddenly rush out anxiously from another room, her expression tense, even a little fearful:

"Wait!"

She called out to Han Su, then urgently called to Zhang Chiguo inside, "Chief Zhang, you can't let him leave!"

"The spell on the recording pen isn't just some simple fishing horn sound..."
