Chapter 9: Appearance

Two people in their thirties look like gangsters, and the other is a girl who is asleep.

Ignoring the dead people for the time being, Roth picked up the girl on the ground and put it back in the dormitory, and there was a faint fragrance in the dormitory.

"Damn, is there really a fragrance these days?"

After a moment, Roth's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise.

For a moment, his head sank slightly.

Roth is strong, but he is also a normal person, and he does not go beyond the scope of normal people, even if it is the limit of the human body, it is also the limit of human beings, and it has not been exceeded.

He was still thinking about why the whole dormitory was sleeping so deeply, and the girl didn't wake up when she fell......

Incense!

This stuff Roth has only heard of.

When he was a child, he heard the old people in the family often say, and later he often acted in TV dramas, but he always thought that it existed in legends, but he didn't expect that reality really existed.

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

Roth secretly warned himself that there were too many things in this world that he didn't know, and if he accidentally caught the Tao, he would die, and he himself still had a long life to enjoy.

As for the two corpses on the ground?

Roth cleared the ground and ran away with the two corpses in the direction of the suburbs.

The university town is not a busy city in the first place, and even after decades of development, there are still large areas of farmland not far away.

Decades of development have not increased the population of China.

Even if the state encourages childbearing, the effect is not too great.

The cost of having a baby is too great!

It should be said that the cost of raising a child is too great.

Even as people's lives improve, the cost of raising children has become more massive than ever.

It doesn't cost anything to have a baby, and you can even earn it~!

But I can't afford it!

Since the beginning of the preschool years, there has been no change even after decades of development, and even more intensified.

Roth estimates that in Huaxia, this will never change.

..........................

"There was a ..... appeared........ The ghost has reappeared.........."

In a room full of computers in the corner of the police station in the university town of Modu, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and with this sound, a groggy old man in his sixties and seventies on the recliner in the original room suddenly jumped up, looked at the alarm on the computer screen, and shouted excitedly.

"Haha! I didn't expect Lao Tzu to wait until you appeared before he retired!" the old man shouted and laughed wildly.

Phantom!

A code name he gave to the other party.

Because he never knew who the other party was, whether he was a man or a woman, whether he was old or young, and what he looked like.

The reason for this code name is because all the monitoring where the other party passes, the satellites directly turn into snowflakes, but it is only in an instant, it may be a few milliseconds, or it may return to normal in a few seconds.

It's normal!

But there was always a voice in his heart telling him that it wasn't a simple failure....... Later, after collecting a lot of information, it was found that this 'fault' was very interesting, and it broke down one after another along the highway.......

Obviously, this is not a real glitch, but someone is deliberately covering up something!

At that time, he was young, and he reported this discovery, and the top also attached great importance to it, and he led the establishment of a task force........

But......

It can be said that there is no one.....

Upon investigation, nothing happened in this area.

If there is a cover-up of criminal activity, there is always something going on, and now, alas, there is nothing.......

In smooth water!

Moreover, the task force investigated for half a day and found that there was nothing suspicious except for regularity, and after half a day of investigation, a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, but there was no result and it could only be disbanded.

When he gradually forgot about it, it happened again.

It's just that......... Still no results.

Everyone else gave up, but he didn't, he always felt that there was a big secret here, a big conspiracy, and if it was solved, it would definitely be a shocking case.

Phantom!

It's the name he gave to this person or the thing.

Many people heard that they had joined, and then gave up, and for this reason, he delayed his smooth career, and the leaders who were optimistic about him had no choice but to give up on him after several attempts to persuade him to no avail.

The family is also not supportive, and the girlfriend blows the .......

Later, although they got married, they were also often noisy.

For this reason, he moved into a police station......

He was convinced that the ghost would reappear, but only for ten years......

For this reason, the prime of his career has passed, his wife has divorced him, and the ghost that reappeared ten years later is still like a ghost, and he has not found anything.

I didn't find it, but I can't say that I didn't get it.

Based on the pattern of several ghost appearances, he found that this 'ghost' has been active in the area of the university town, and although the route is different, it is divided between these schools.

So he stayed here to work, and as time passed, he grew old and his hair turned gray, but the ghost never appeared again.

The home is gone....

There is no hope for work.......

Catching the ghost became his only sustenance.

He asked the bureau for a corner office with computers that he had bought with his salary.

Especially now that the development of technology is not the same as before.

He believed that if the ghost reappeared, he would be able to bring the other party to justice.

It's just that this wait is more than thirty years, and in more than thirty years, the ghost seems to have disappeared, and in a few days it will be his seventieth birthday...... At some point he will retire.......

"Maybe it's going to be free!"

A few days ago, he persuaded himself that it was time to let go, thinking back on this life, he was just doing one thing to find the ghost..... For this he gave up everything.

Career! Family!

Even now that the children have started a family, no one has come to see him.

Sometimes he feels very lonely, too.

In the past, there was still the idea of catching the 'ghost' and bringing the other party to justice, but more than 30 years have passed, and any ambition and any catching the ghost have faded with the passage of time.

"It's really important to catch the ghost!" he often asked himself in his mind now

"Maybe it doesn't matter, but what about finding a 'ghost'?

"Give up! Decades of wasted time are also time to give up..... "He understands that without retirement, he can use an office openly and monitor some things with equipment, and once he retires, this office and these equipment will be out of his favor.

What about buying it yourself?

It is not possible to sell these things to individuals not in the name of the police department.

Unexpected!

He didn't expect it anyway, he was ready to give up and the ghost reappeared......

"Providence!"

"God wants me to catch you!"

The old man's heart was screaming.

Be calm!

Forcing himself to calm down, even if he was still trembling, no matter how excited he was...... He also had to force himself to calm down.

Anyone who sees him at this time will definitely find that his eyes are different from the previous twilight, flickering with an inexplicable flame.

The whole person seems to have become a little different.

The old man quickly cleaned up, then picked up a palm-sized computer and rushed out of the room.

In the middle of the night, the police station was quiet, and no one noticed his abnormality.

Or rather, no one has paid attention to him anymore.

The speed of the old man is very fast, definitely more than many young people, if you don't look at the face, you will never think that this is an old man, but, unlike Rot, Rot's strength, and the old man is a kind of physical potential or an explosion in a state of excitement.

Thinking about it, after decades of grievances, now I see hope, and that state is indescribable.

In the police garage, a dilapidated driverless solar-powered car is his car.

At this time, the police were different from before, and almost everyone now had their own modified special car.

The driver in front and the back row are actually a simple cell, without the fingerprints and iris of the owner, others can't open it at all.

"I must catch you this time and treat you as my curtain call!"

The old man sat in the car and muttered to himself a little frantically.

Chirping....... .....

The tires of the car made a screeching sound when they spun around twice on the ground, and then puffs of green smoke rose from the tires and the ground, and a smell of burnt paste appeared in the air, and the whole car rushed out of the garage like an arrow from the string.

The computer that I just held in my hand was placed on a groove in the steering wheel.

The computer shows a map of nearby neighborhoods with red dots flashing on the map.

These red dots are the surveillance facilities on the streets.

At this point?

From time to time, some of these lit red dots become dim and then light up, and the process is very fast..... And it's moving along a line.

It's just that you may not feel it, but it shows very clearly on a palm-sized computer, the red dot on this line goes out and lights up, and then the next one goes out and lights up, extending out one after another, just like the pearls in the line are conducting.

"Thanks for the technology!"

Looking at the very clear picture, the old man muttered silently in his heart.

Why couldn't you catch it decades ago?

That is, the technology is not developed or the technology is not so developed, which can be clearly seen afterwards, but there is no real-time display, and even if there is, it must be an electronic center with hundreds of computers and large screens.

In this way, the mobilization of human and material resources will be immeasurable.

He is a rookie, and with a guess, he mobilized so many manpower and material resources?

Moreover, the ghost's movements are very fast, and once there is a delay in the network or a second or two of the command and instruction, the ghost may be lost.

Decades of development.

Everything used to be possible on a computer the size of your palm.

Just like now.

All of the ghost's movements are displayed on the palm-sized computer.

"I'll see where you're running this time!" the old man didn't turn on the police lights, and chased along the same line.

He didn't dare to take a detour!

I'm afraid I'll miss it because of a little mistake.

This was his last chance in this life.

Don't make a mistake, don't dare to make a mistake!

If he misses it because of his own fault, he can't close his eyes even when he dies.

He has lost so much in his life for this 'ghost'!
