After eating and drinking enough, the sweet and soft taste seems to still be lingering on the tip of the tongue, which slightly calms down the anger from last night.
Chen Jin is wandering on the gradually noisy streets of Yandu, seemingly casual, but actually vigilant.
The facial features on his face are like a melted wax statue, making subtle adjustments from time to time, and his height and posture also change slightly. [Flesh of Vision]'s Metamorphosis ability is used by him to frequently change his appearance to avoid any possible tracking.
His footsteps finally stopped outside a relatively secluded alley.
It's exactly where his "monster" clone was when he lost contact before midnight yesterday.
However, at this moment, there were many people standing on tiptoe and looking around at the entrance of the alley. Blue and red police lights were flashing, and eye-catching yellow cordons had been pulled up to seal off the scene.
Chen Jin moved to the edge of the crowd and took advantage of his height to look inside.
Just one glance made his heart sink.
Yesterday's "monstrous" body was lying upright in the middle of the alley, exposed to broad daylight.
The most terrible thing is that the surface of the corpse is densely covered with a layer of large, bright mushrooms that exude a faint golden luster.
It seems that after losing control yesterday, Flesh of Vision spores lost their ability to change and returned to their original form.
This scene was so strange that it aroused a lot of discussion among onlookers, flash lights were turned on from time to time, and there were also many people taking photos.
"Broken!"
The police must pay great attention to such a strange corpse.
As the last person who may have had contact with the deceased yesterday, I am likely to be questioned intensively.
If they go to the ward to "understand the situation" with themselves, only to find that the bed is empty... wouldn't the disguise of "serious injury" they designed be exposed?
With this thought in mind, he could no longer care about anything else. He immediately turned around and hurried towards the hospital.
Avoiding the main entrance, he found the shady side of the hospital building by familiar means. Like a civet cat, he scaled the wall and climbed the drainage pipe. With quick and stealthy movements, he climbed up to the window of his ward.
He cautiously peeked inside, still feeling a little lucky in his heart.
However, the scene in the ward completely wiped out any chance he had just mentioned.
There was a circle of people sitting in the room.
In addition to veteran policeman Zhang Jianguo and a few familiar colleagues, there were also several strangers and men and women in casual clothes with capable temperaments. They gathered around their hospital bed where the "seriously injured" was supposed to be lying, and the atmosphere was solemn.
... At this point, it's better to give up this police identity.
But just when he was about to retract his body, Zhang Jianguo, who was pacing anxiously in the ward, turned his head, glanced at the window, and met his prying eyes.
was discovered.
"Chen Jin?!" Zhang Jianguo's frightened and angry roar came faintly through the glass.
It's over, I can't run anymore.
If he runs away now, it will really make his crotch wet with yellow mud, which is either shit or shit. It will only make the matter even more unclear.
Chen Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. In desperation, he had no choice but to push open the window with some embarrassment, turned over and jumped in under the astonished, confused, and scrutinizing gazes of everyone in the ward.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Zhang Jianguo came over with angry questions. "Chen Jin! Where did you go last night?! Do you know you are still injured?! We..."
"Dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door.
Although the door was not closed, the other party knocked politely.
Everyone looked around and saw five or six people standing at the door.
The leader was a woman in her thirties, wearing a fitted suit and skirt, with sharp eyes.
Coming with her were four young men with tall and straight bodies in dark combat uniforms. They lined up silently on both sides behind her. Although they did not wear any obvious weapons, their well-trained aura instantly made the air in the ward a little more solemn.
She took out a black-covered ID from the inner pocket of her suit, unfolded it smoothly, and showed it in front of Zhang Jianguo and several leaders in front of him who were obviously superiors.
There is a clear emblem and the words "Special Investigation Bureau" on the certificate.
"My name is Ai Ling." Her voice was low, but it overwhelmed all the noise in the ward, "Regarding the special cases in Reformation Alley and matters related to Comrade Chen Jin, from now on, we, Special Investigation Bureau, will take full charge."
"Comrades, please cooperate with our work. If there is nothing else, you can leave now."
Zhang Jianguo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the eyes of a more calm leader in front of him.
The leader carefully looked at Ai Ling's ID, then looked at the capable subordinates behind her, and finally nodded slowly.
"Let's go."
The leader spoke, and Zhang Jianguo and others, who were full of doubts, left the ward one after another, looking back three times.
When the footsteps of the last policeman disappeared at the end of the corridor, the ward door was gently closed by one of Ai Ling's subordinates.
When only Chen Jin and the woman named Ai Ling were left in the room, the solemn feeling in the air did not diminish.
Ai Ling walked to the window, closed the curtains, and blocked the outside view. Then he turned around, looked at Chen Jin, and said calmly:
"Let's get to know each other again, my name is Ren Five."
She paused, looked at Chen Jin's face that changed slightly, and continued to explain:
"Mainly responsible for incident aftermath, resource coordination, and necessary communication and docking with "Walker" like you."
Chen Jin raised his hand and asked, "Ms. Ren Five, I have something to ask."
"Yesterday, I met Walker, a man with extremely high skills and unfathomable strength." Chen Jin stared into Ren Five's eyes, his tone was calm but questioning,
"But from beginning to end, the "Ren Tu" on me did not give any warning, nor did it have any detection information about the other party.
This is unreasonable.
I want to know where the "Ren Tu" who was responsible for my iris text message contact in this incident was? Why was there no response?"
Ren Five seemed to have expected this question, and his expression did not change at all. He just nodded slightly and replied, "What you encountered should be Walker of extremely high rank, whose power can interfere with the rules of Yanfu to a certain extent."
In that area at that time, the "Ren Tu" function you were personally connected to was not unresponsive, but was forced to sleep by some higher authority or stronger force."
She paused and added, "As for what exactly happened and what method the other party used, I'm sorry, but the data records in the core area of the incident are blank, and we... have no way of knowing."
"Second question, can the five immortals who are exfoliated interfere with Yanfu Event?"
Ren Five was silent for a while and said, "The answer to this question is beyond your authority."
"Okay, let me guess, it should be possible."
Chen Jin stared into Ren Five's eyes, but Ren Five's expression did not change at all, so he could only shrug helplessly.
He then asked the third question in a bad tone, "So, what does Walker, Ren Tu's so-called "results at your own risk" mean for those who ignore the rules? Is it just a vague warning?"
