The flames from the spray guns inlaid with artificial agate stones ignite the liquid on the skin of the steak, turning from orange to deep blue.

After a while, it spread to several flowers carved from vegetables next to the steak, and the tips were pale blue.

"This is our signature dish, the dark blue rose, and I wish you two a pleasant meal. ”

The waiter said a greeting and bowed out of the box, Zhu Jue looked at the excellent food in front of him, and began to think of the large meat steak and enoki mushroom bacon skewers he used for barbecue.

"You haven't answered my question on the sidewalk, does Mr. Rone have any new information for you?"

Unlike Zhu Jue, who really wanted to eat, Newcastle was obviously not hungry, took a sip of red wine to moisten his throat, and asked.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of the conversation, he specially chose a private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

The walls were plastered with iris wallpaper and sitels of the same flower, and classic jazz music was supposed to be played before he asked to turn it off.

"Of course, Mr. Rona told me before he left that the two contaminated areas of the low-level community are far from over, and that the Ouroboros are able to control the infected and use the bone tree to create some kind of fruit that can enhance or catalyze the mutation of the infected and the members of the organization, and what they are planning is not just a terrorist activity!"

With Rona as an excuse to become his own "information channel", Zhu Jue naturally revealed some of his intentions.

"If you can, can you elaborate more on the clear goals, the area of next action......

Regarding the previous series of activities carried out by the Ouroboros, the Thousand Sails City government also felt that they were very likely to have follow-up plans, and the investigators in the secret did not know how many were sent, but the feedback was very small.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get any more information, in fact, Mr. Rona also wants me to get some information from you that the Thousand Sails City Government currently knows, saying that this will make it easier for him to entrust people to conduct an investigation through some special means, and as for the results obtained, I will naturally share them with you when the time comes. ”

Zhu Jue, who has left the low-level community, is also at an impasse in his investigation of the Ouroboros, and he needs more clues to support his follow-up investigation, and there is no valuable information from the Rangers.

"A special way?"

Newcastle repeated Zhu Jue's words, and immediately realized that this was most likely a cooperative message that the man had released to him by Torona.

Yes!

In the end, this is Qianfan City, regardless of anything else, whether it is human or material resources, or all aspects of information channels, the resources owned by the Qianfan City government are undoubtedly the first.

Even he needs to use government channels to get the latest information at some point, but because he doesn't want to reveal his identity, he will communicate with him in this way of entrusting others.

Rather than continuing to ask each other about their whereabouts, it is better to take this opportunity to sublimate the trading relationship between the two parties into a cooperative relationship...... Even if it's a partnership with a middleman.

At the thought of this, Newcastle's expression suddenly brightened a lot, but unfortunately it didn't last long.

The reason is simple, the security department does not seem to have investigated any decent information so far, which makes him not know what to say for a while.

Of course, this may also have something to do with his identity, and it is obviously not necessary for the Garrison Department to report the case to the deputy director of the epidemic prevention station.

The opportunity for cooperation is in front of you, can you just let it slip away?

Zhu Jue, who had been looking at Newcastle all the time, noticed his embarrassment, and was not prepared to make the first conversation between the two unsuccessful, and after thinking about it, he said: "Is there any news about the person who attacked Mr. Rhone before?"

"Well, this ...... I've asked the patrol team in Community 17 to do their best to find out, but they were all masked at the time, and some kind of jamming device was used to destroy the surrounding monitors, and it will take some time to fully track them down. ”

The so-called "it will take a certain amount of time" can actually be equated with the saying that the goal is lost.

Highly advanced technology may make most of the criminal activities hidden, but on the contrary, it is also helping some people to hide their crimes more perfectly.

Since the attackers dared to attack Rona and Gu Yinxing in public, they were naturally fully prepared

"How is the infection developing in other communities in Downtown, I remember that before the scavenger program began, there were also infected people in the middle communities of Downtown, didn't they?"

Zhu Jue decided to return the question to Newcastle's profession, and he could always answer this aspect of things.

"Ahh ”

When it comes to his own work, Newcastle, who was still embarrassed a second ago, immediately showed his professionalism as the deputy director of the epidemic prevention institute.

"You have worked in the bottom community, and you have also been exposed to infected people, at first we thought that this was some irreversible genetic mutation caused by the development of the epidemic to the end, but this is not the case, according to the recent experiments of the epidemic prevention center, in the same period when the infected body appeared in the bottom community, some patients who were admitted to the hospital in advance did not show abnormal changes, and they still showed symptoms of the epidemic, which means that the infected person turned into an infected body is very likely to be due to the predisposing factors created by the Ouroboros organization!"

Newcastle didn't know what he was saying Zhu Jue was not only clear, but there was also a witness by his side, but the latter didn't mean to interrupt Newcastle.

If you want to get some useful information, you have to open the conversation box of Newcastle first, right?

Zhu Jue's patience soon paid off.

"Why doesn't the Ouroboros simply 'detonate' these ticking time bomb patients together, leaving these infected behind, and what's the point..... This is contrary to common sense, because according to the conclusion of the Ministry of Garrison, the Ouroboros organization has the ability to remotely control the mutation of infected people, and after observation and experiments within the epidemic prevention center, we found that the epidemic in these infected people has extremely serious hallucinations without exception after entering the terminal stage!"

Referring to this, Newcastle took a puff of his cigarette and unconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes and sides of his cheeks with his left hand, allowing the smoke to escape through the gaps in his knuckles.

For the first time, this middle-aged man, who was in the prime of life and sat in the position of deputy director of the epidemic prevention center, showed exhaustion and depression in front of Zhu Jue.

"What kind of hallucination?"

The fork in Zhu Jue's hand stuck the whole steak, biting it, and asked vaguely.

No way, he really wants to keep the image, but this steak is really delicious!

"There is no clear division of this mental state in the academic community, so I asked the professor of human psychology at Qianfan University and several psychologists who have made great achievements in this area, and the answer they gave is the collapse of the worldview or the all-round disorder of cognition!"

"Hmmm......"

This time it was Zhu Jue's turn to understand.

"I had a few brief conversations with them, and there were huge problems with the logic of their thinking and their perception of external things...... To give you a simple example, what would the first thing that come to mind when you see someone in a white lab coat, wearing a mask, and a stethoscope around their neck?"

"Doctors, of course, doctors. ”

It's an identity impression that everyone will associate with.

"Monster, that's what the infected call your doctor!"

Newcastle leaned back on the bench, soot between his fingers falling on the plate in front of him in the shaking of his body, the steak he hadn't eaten before was stained with soot, and the tender red skin inevitably appeared "stains".

"They see those of us who want to help them as monsters, thinking that they have no problems but have been imprisoned, not only do they not cooperate with the treatment, but they are even looking for opportunities to attack the staff of the epidemic prevention center. ”

"It's just an attack on the doctor, nothing else, you just said that they have severe hallucinations, and from what I know from Mr. Rona, these people are probably also affected by some kind of mental contaminant spread by the Ouroboros organization, and their hallucinations may also have a reference. ”

Zhu Jue experienced that special state, although the crazy fantasies continued to erode his own reason, if he could get through it, he could often feel some information from it.

Prophecy is the best example of this.

These infected people are obviously also affected by the Gadamon sub-body to become like this, and when they fall into madness, they will inevitably see some special visions, which may seem unreasonable to ordinary people, but Zhu Jue thinks that there may be valuable information hidden in it.

"Performance...... Infected people who are caught up in heavy fantasies often murmur that we have all been deceived and that this world is not the real world, and occasionally their eyes will focus on the corner of the room where no one is there, and then talk to this and there, as if there is a person standing watching him...... I didn't listen to the craziness too much, it was a headache, and if I needed to, I could get someone to record it and record some of it. ”

No one cares about the words of a madman, let alone the aggressive and contagious nature of those guys.

"I think it's necessary that we can't miss any possible clues at the moment. ”

The Ouroboros Organisation left these infected people behind, apparently not because they had forgotten them, perhaps to infect more people, or for some other purpose.

In any case, Zhu Jue believes that there is a need to explore.

"No problem, I'll pay attention to that. ”

This is not a difficult thing to do, and in Newcastle's opinion, since it is something that the person deliberately mentioned, there is no problem with the epidemic prevention center paying special attention to it.

The conversation between the two lasted for another half hour or so.

As the Newcastle phone rang, the two had to return to the news office.
