There is only one port in C City, close to Linhu Park, mainly for fishing and transportation, and the owner of this port is said to be the Bian family, but in the past two years, the Xue family has gradually developed its port power.

Now it is estimated that the forces of the two families are distributed in the port, and they can make a discount.

As for the Confucian family, the Confucian family has been dominated by literary and artistic attainments for generations, and like the Luo family, there are many well-known art exhibition halls at home and abroad, and there are also many talents who are extremely accomplished in music.

As a result, these heavy-duty industries are rarely involved.

Because of such a port, Yan Qi and the others did not make any other choice, and drove directly to the dock.

The port is not big, but there are dozens of large and small fishing boats docked, as well as all kinds of containers, obviously C city does not pay attention to shipping, perhaps because of the geographical environment, the sea of C city belongs to the inland sea, and the transportation is not very convenient.

Cui Jianming showed his police certificate to the guards on the pier, and then drove the car in.

"Yes, yes, that's it, that building. ”

Yan Qi looked out the window of the car and saw a row of buildings of varying heights on the other side of the container loading and unloading area.

He recalls the office he saw in his vague memory, and he struggles to recall the angle from which he looked out the window, and finally identifies one of the buildings as the office building of the man's company that appears in his memory.

On the way here, Yan Qi couldn't stand the questioning of Zou Xing and Cui Jianming, so he took out the scales that Lin Huan brought to him, and then told the two of them about the vague memories he saw from the huge scales, and the two of them looked at each other when they heard it.

"Oh my God, these are fish scales? so big?!... In other words, this person has become a monster?"

Zou Xing lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying.

Yan Qi nodded, and then said, "This is where things are strange. ”

Zou Xing sighed, but Cui Jianming asked suspiciously: "Why is it strange, you and Lao Zou, doesn't this also belong to the power of monsters?"

Zou Xing shook his head and explained: "It's different, although we have the power of monsters, but the core is still human, even if it is me, I am now so completely transformed by the organization..."

So he immediately bypassed the topic.

"I still have the core of a human being, I'm still a human being, but this thing... In any case, it is no longer human. ”

Cui Jianming continued to ask: "Before that... Didn't you say that the organization has also had failures that failed to transform and become monsters, will it be like those things, and escape from the organization?"

Zou Xing couldn't make up his mind and looked at Yan Qi.

Before Yan Qi could speak, Bai Ran said, "No." ”

Then she took the scales from Yan Qi's hand and said, "The people of the organization can only obtain low-level monsters from the Abyss Realm as samples, but this thing does not belong to the Abyss Realm, and it does not have any monster breath on it... Instead... It's almost all human flavor. ”

"Then aren't you contradictory?" Cui Jianming smiled, he drove the car to the parking lot of the port, and then said: "You say that they are not human anymore, but you also say that they have the smell of human beings." ”

Yan Qi sighed and said, "So, this is where things are weird, if you think about it, you can tell you like this, this monster... His aura is more like a human being than me and Zou Xing. ”

Cui Jianming gasped after listening to Yan Qi's words.

What humans fear most is humanoids.

A simple cockroach or spider or caterpillar, some people are not afraid, but if you add human characteristics to these things, such as adding human voices to cockroaches, and then replace all the limbs of the spider with human hands and feet, and then add a human smiling face to the caterpillar.

This will immediately be terrifying.

Suddenly, Yan Qi seemed to realize something, and suddenly asked Zou Xing, "Do you know the law?"

Zou Xing paused for a moment, and then nodded: "I know some from the organization." ”

"Then you... Is there a restriction on him?"

Hearing Yan Qi ask this question, Zou Xing was a little strange, but he still told him.

"Naturally, when fully integrated with this power, my body seemed to be bound by countless chains, and finally limited my power to a very small range. ”

“... Uh-huh?" Yan Qi smiled and said thoughtfully, "Then I'm really curious about what the organization has fused you with." ”

Seeing that Zou Xing's face was displeased, Yan Qi immediately said again: "I'm not here to talk to you, I'm telling the truth, I have an idea." ”

Cui Jianming parked the car, but several people didn't get out of the car in a hurry, waiting for Yan Qi's next step.

Yan Qi curled his fingers around his hair, thought for a moment and said, "En... I was thinking that if a person suddenly had the power of a monster, the law would detect his mutation and immediately restrain him, just like you, just like me. ”

Zou Xing nodded.

Bai Ran also became a little interested in Yan Qi's words.

So Yan Qi continued: "That... We tentatively assume that the object of the law's choice of limitations, firstly, is the power that exceeds this plane, and secondly, the mutation of the personality of the human being, these two points arise at the same time, and the law will immediately reduce the dimensionality of it. If a person has the power of a monster, but his own existence is still human, and he has not changed in the slightest... That..."

Bai Ran understood what Yan Qi meant and said: "The power has ascended, but the essence has not changed, this is a paradox, the law will contradict the judgment of this individual, and automatically ignore him." ”

Cui Jianming scratched his head and asked, "What is this law you are talking about?" ”

Zou Xing glanced at him, smiled and said: "You can understand that the antivirus software and firewall in the computer are fine, I, Yan Qi, and those monsters are all viruses." ”

This metaphor amused Yan Qi, and when he saw Cui Jianming, he sighed, and he didn't know if he understood it, Yan Qi said: "But this antivirus software is too old, and it is probably going to be broken, if on the day it breaks, we can't remove the viruses in the world and fill the loopholes in the world, then your computer will be finished." ”

With that, Yan Qi opened the car door and walked down.

“... Didn't you say that you are also a virus, and there are viruses to help kill viruses?" Cui Jianming scratched his head again, but also got out of the car with a few people.

The office building is very old, the parking lot is also open-air, a few people got out of the car and walked directly into the first floor, there is no hall, directly to the corridor that extends to both sides, and there are offices on both sides of the corridor.

Directly in front of you is a staircase going upstairs, a very old-fashioned structure.

Because the floor is not high, the highest seems to be the 5th floor, so there is no elevator.

Yan Qi really didn't remember what floor that office was on.

I inquired about a bald boss on the first floor, and finally inquired on the third floor, it was the fishing company on the fifth floor that was in charge of the fleet, and where the boss was, it was a foreman, surnamed Li.

But the other party told everyone that today is New Year's Day, and I don't know if the fishing company will have a holiday, so you can try your luck.

So a few people climbed directly to the fifth floor.

This time, I was lucky, I knocked on the office door directly, and someone really came to open it.

The one who opened the door was the bald head that Yan Qi had seen in his memory.

At the age of forty or fifty, I don't know if my hair was shaved by myself or if it fell out under too much pressure.

He was slightly chubby, his face was a little puffy, and he had deep forehead lines.

He looked at the four.

The combination of these two uncles with a teenager and a girl is indeed more suspicious.

So instead of opening the door, he opened an opening and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zou Xing didn't say much to him, he directly took out his sheriff's ID, shook it in front of his eyes and said, "Understand something." ”

Seeing that these people turned out to be sheriffs, they immediately opened the door and said timidly: "... Everybody, please. ”

So a few people walked into the office, and Yan Qi found that the decoration of the office was almost the same as in his memory, so he didn't look at it anymore and sat directly on the sofa.

Zou Xing and Cui Jianming were more cautious, and as soon as they came in, they began to look at the layout of the room.

This should be regarded as an occupational disease of the sheriff.

Seeing that the two had been looking at their office, the man looked nervous.

He took four cups out of the cupboard, brewed tea and brought it to the coffee table.

At this time, Cui Jianming and Zou Xing were willing to sit on the sofa.

It's as if they come in like this and look at everything about the other party without saying a word, and it is already their usual method to put pressure on the other party.

Seeing the two of them sit down, the bald boss breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax to the end, Cui Jianming asked, "What's wrong, boss, are you afraid of the sheriff?"

Looking at Cui Jianming's smiling expression, the boss suddenly became nervous again.

“... No, it's not... You say, you say it's a big holiday... The sheriff came to me out of the blue... You say, I'm definitely a little worried about whether something happened to the ship that went to sea..."

Indeed, what they are most afraid of in this line of work is that employees go to sea and encounter shipwrecks.

There have been sheriffs who have come to investigate before, followed by summons from the court, and then a huge amount of compensation.

"You say... This fishing is inherently risky work, which... We've all taken safety measures, but people can't always be the same page with nature, you say, God wants to take your life... As far as our boats are concerned, how can they withstand it? ”

Zou Xing waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the man.

The man immediately shut his mouth.

Cui Jianming looked at Yan Qi, and then whispered, "You go." ”

Yan Qi knew that they didn't particularly know what was in their memory, so they had to ask themselves.

"Boss Li, don't be nervous, we're here to get to know one of your seamen. Yan Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then leaned back on the sofa very comfortably.

Seeing that he was so relaxed, Boss Li's attitude was not so nervous, so he asked, "... We have a lot of employees, I am only in charge of two fleets here, we have a total of five fleets... Look, did you call a couple of ship bosses?"

Naturally, there was no need for that, Yan Qi smiled and continued: "No need, Boss Li, we have found out that he is a seaman under you, a man surnamed Wang." ”

When Boss Li heard this surname, he was also stunned for a while, and then asked tentatively: "... There are three of my men surnamed Wang, and one of them..."

This time, even Yan Qi was a little impatient, he put the teacup on the table and said, "The one who got lung cancer and was prescribed by you." ”

Yan Qi's actions startled Boss Wang, but when he heard Yan Qi's words, he suddenly seemed to have the courage to say: "This, I can't be blamed for this! He, he has lung cancer, and he can't go to sea anymore! Otherwise, if he dies at sea, the company will blame him, and I must be the one who bears it! Moreover, since he disappeared, I have been taking good care of his family! I also went to visit his wife and children yesterday..."

Several people looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then asked again, "Is he missing, how long ago was it?" ”

This time, Boss Li showed a puzzled expression.

“... You don't know? Didn't you come to investigate his disappearance?"

Cui Jianming immediately took out the phone and walked out of the office.
