During his return to Tinglin University from the Central Hospital, Zhuo Xuan called Zhou Xueqiu's phone several times, but received a response from the electronic female voice that "the phone is temporarily turned off and cannot be answered".

This made him a little worried.

Zhou Xueqiu's plan was only told to himself, and the other part was secretly carried out by him, saying that he could not tell everything until he saw the results.

Although there were doubts in his heart, Zhuo Xuan still chose to believe in Zhou Xueqiu unconditionally. This is not only because of the guilt caused by the previous conflict, but also because Zhou Xueqiu is a Chosen One who is more experienced than him.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Xuan didn't think his actions were meaningful. There was no Chosen One who could find any clues from the patients, and there was no abnormality in the doctor Xu Shilin. On the contrary, he was enlightened by Xu Shilin, and his heart became more eager and restless for the news of his parents' traces.

It was already afternoon after getting off the bus, all the way to the university town, and after a hurried dinner, Zhuo Xuan came to the student president's office as agreed, but when he pushed the door open, his face couldn't help but become dumb.

"Zhou Xueqiu, when did you come back?"

Looking at the young man sitting quietly in the chair, Zhuo Xuan's tone also became suspicious. He didn't think that Zhou Xueqiu was lazy and tricked himself into going to the central hospital alone to find out the news, but he was curious about what Zhou Xueqiu had done to be able to return so early.

"Not so long ago." Zhou Xueqiu raised his head, his face was expressionless, and he changed his words and said, "I have a question for you." ”

"What?"

"Is Xu Shilin still alive?" Zhou Xueqiu's first sentence made Zhuo Xuan frown.

This question is quite indifferent, but it is in line with Zhou Xueqiu's consistent code of conduct.

Zhuo Xuan didn't care too much, after all, he was not a person who could sacrifice his life to save others, ensuring the safety of himself and his companions was the first step, so he replied seriously: "It's still alive." ”

"You, in order to save him, told him about the 'beast'." Zhou Xueqiu narrowed his eyes, as if he had expected everything.

Zhuo Xuan's heart was shocked, he remembered the last words he told Xu Shilin, and the act of handing over his phone number, he couldn't help but nodded in a daze, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face: "Yes, I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay." Zhou Xueqiu's smile was a little treacherous, and he asked rhetorically in a calm tone: "Do you know why I told you not to tell the 'beast' to ordinary people?" ”

"Why?" Zhuo Xuan instinctively took over the conversation.

He didn't know what the consequences would be if he told the "beast" to others, and Zhou Xueqiu never answered him positively. At the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, in order to be able to get more useful information, Zhuo Xuan almost wavered in his determination to hide the secret. He wanted to tell Zhang Lian and ask for help to find his parents' traces. However, all this was too shocking, and in the end, he still chose to keep it a secret.

Because he didn't know what kind of disaster he would bring to others by telling the "beast" to others.

Was it "obliterated" like Lin Xinyu and Lin Sicheng? Or is it the same being pulled into this curse and turned into the "Chosen One"?

Now, finally, there can be a correct answer.

Zhou Xueqiu still kept a smile: "Because, if ordinary people know the 'beast', they will be immediately erased from their memories!" ”

Erase, memory?

Zhuo Xuan stood in place, instantly understanding Zhou Xueqiu's purpose of concealing this fact.

He was suspecting that Xu Shilin was a "beast"!

Zhou Xueqiu concluded that he would have a sympathetic attack when he saw the doctor Xu Shilin, and couldn't help but tell the other party about the "beast" to win trust, so as to save Xu Shilin...... Therefore, use yourself as a tool to judge Xu Shilin's true identity!

According to the description of the mission, the mission will not be officially opened until three days. Although humans within the area of influence will not lose their memories due to knowing about the "beast" after the mission is released, that is also after the mission starts!

Before the mission officially begins, all influences related to the "beast" will be erased by the rules. This is the secret tacit agreement of the Chosen One.

If after he told Xu Shilin about the "beast", the other party still kept his memory, then his identity would be obvious. On the other hand, if the other party loses the memory of the "beast", then it is still considered to be an ordinary human being.

This move made Zhuo Xuan's heart cool down immediately.

However, Zhou Xueqiu's words made him even more surprised.

"Don't think I'm taking advantage of you," Zhou Xueqiu's smile still hung on his face, frozen like volcanic lava, "Do you know what I'm going to do?" I don't doubt the authenticity of the Black Watch release mission, therefore, I suspect that Xu Shilin has long since died. So, I went to the morgue of the central hospital......"

Mortuary!

Zhuo Xuan's face instantly turned pale.

Although this can't change the fact that Zhou Xueqiu used himself to explore the way, it still makes Zhuo Xuan unable to take advantage of this. Just because of this moment, he suddenly realized Zhou Xueqiu's indifference, which was not only to others, but also to himself.

He's even harder on himself!

You must know that if the "beast" is hidden in the morgue, then Zhou Xueqiu will directly trigger the dead end and completely bury his life. Compared with Zhuo Xuan's peaceful "doctor", it is already a great care.

Moreover, several Chosen ones hidden in the shadows stared at each other, and the chance that Zhuo Xuan would really have an accident was very small.

Zhuo Xuan's face darkened, and he suddenly thought of what he had finally told the doctor Xu Shilin.

In those words, there was no real mention of "beast", and the description of "beast" was very vague, and he did not think that these were the basis for judging Xu Shilin's true identity.

However, before Zhuo Xuan could tell him about this discovery, Zhou Xueqiu smiled treacherously and said, "Do you know what I found in the morgue? ”

"What?" Zhuo Xuan had forgotten what he was going to say, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"I lifted the white cloth that covered the corpse one by one, and finally ...... I found out," Zhou Xueqiu's tone paused, and his smile retracted, "Xu Shilin's corpse." ”

--

The sun is about to set. Outside the window, there is no trace of temperature in the bleak air of late autumn, vehicles and pedestrians are thinning, and the whole city is shrouded in a cold shadow.

Xu Shilin turned off the computer, then took off the white coat on his body, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Or maybe he was so tired that he covered his chest with his hands, and his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, until he had some difficulty breathing and had to hold his hand against the wall.

"Need help?"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded beside him, which shocked Xu Shilin's heart, and he raised his head, but he couldn't help but be startled.

It was a man with a snake-haired grimace hood, his slender figure and voice filtered in a magical color, so that he couldn't help but let his guard down.

"Is Halloween coming, wearing a mask like this?" Xu Shilin smiled reluctantly and made a joke that was not funny.

"Ha," the hooded man pretended to laugh, "I'm actually a psychiatrist—why don't you tell me about you?" ”
