Chapter 44: A Turning Point in the Investigation
"Okay, the first step has been successful, now it's a matter of finding a way to interview some of the people here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jane began.
With that, he picked up the camera again, hung it up in its previous position, and walked out of his room.
After exiting the room, he stood in the doorway for a moment, then chose the front of himself, took two steps forward, and began to knock on the opposite door.
"Who." After a few knocks, a voice came from behind the door.
"Yes." Jane replied.
Not long after he answered, the hatch opened.
"What's the matter?" As soon as the door opened, three words came out of the person behind the door, and there was a hint of vigilance in this person's voice.
"Nothing." Jane continued, "I'm new here, and the room is just across from you, just to say hello to you. Hello, my name is Jane Boonckley. ”
"New here?" The person's previous vigilance disappeared, and Zhou Xin was visibly relieved when he heard him, "Okay, hello. Then his voice was a little impatient, "Alright, now that we've said hello, you can leave." ”
"This." Jane's voice was a little embarrassed, "I've introduced myself, don't you introduce yourself?" ”
"What is there to introduce?" The man's voice became wary again, "Didn't anyone tell you not to ask questions when you first came here?" By the end, his voice grew louder. Before Jane could react, she heard a "bang" and the hatch was shut.
In front of the closed hatch, Jane stood for a moment, sighed, and said, "Now it seems that our next investigation may not go well. With that, he turned back and chose the door to the left of his room.
The next plot is basically exactly the same as just now, after learning that Jane is a newcomer, that person directly closes the hatch without saying a word, without giving Jane a chance to continue.
As for the person in the room on the right, he just asked a question, and then there was no more. Jane stood at the door for a long time, but never waited for the hatch to open, not even a response. After three consecutive encounters, Jane stopped trying, and turned straight back to his room.
Placing the camera on the table, Jane began to take out his belongings from his backpack, and while packing his luggage, he said in a slightly frustrated tone: "Although I thought at the beginning that the investigation would not go smoothly, I didn't expect that even greeting the people here would be so difficult, each of them seemed to be very repulsive to strangers, and they didn't want to communicate with other people at all, it seems that this step is not very easy to do, I have to find a way to blend in with them." ”
Not long after saying this, the screen went dark, and the video ended for the time being. After a few seconds, the screen lights up again, and Jane appears in front of the camera again.
"It's been three days and there has been no progress in the investigation, and it seems that it has been brought to their attention thanks to my active activities in the past few days. Joe had just come over and sternly reminded me that if I kept asking people about anything like I had the other day, they would have to consider whether or not to get me out of here. Then his tone was a little flustered, "What should I do, it's so difficult that I can only give up the investigation, but I finally got in, and I won't have such a good opportunity in the future." ”
After saying this, Zhou Xin actually felt a little strange, from the very beginning of the video, he didn't know why Jane wanted to conduct this investigation so much, and the investigation was still such a strange topic, and even how this topic appeared had to be put a question mark. However, Jane never explained it, and Atlas, who had already watched the entire video, told Zhou Xin that the content did reveal some information on the planet, so he could only continue to watch it in confusion.
On the screen, Jane was still introducing the difficulties she had encountered in the past two days, but it didn't take long for the familiar bell that Zhou Xin had heard before rang. Hearing this voice, Jane's voice stopped abruptly, and then Zhou Xin saw that the picture on the screen moved greatly, and after just a few seconds, the camera returned to the height of Jane's waist. He opened the door quickly, but at the moment of opening the door, he stood slightly, and in just a few seconds, Zhou Xin saw more than a dozen figures running through the door.
"Strange, why didn't the door open on the other side?" Jane's puzzled voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Zhou Xin, "Forget it, maybe I've already left first." After just a few seconds of standing, he stopped standing still and began to move quickly with the crowd. Walking onto the familiar street, the previous scene appeared in front of the camera again, and everyone huddled together and hurried in the same direction.
After receiving her share of food, Jane returned to her room, and before entering the room, Zhou Xin saw that he was still at the door for a while, as if he was deliberately looking at the opposite room.
"Why is it still closed?" After he said a word, he stood at the door for a few seconds, due to the angle, Zhou Xin couldn't see the expression on his face, and after standing for a while, he still returned to his room.
Sitting on the bed, Jane explained her previous doubts while eating, "It's still quite far from the place where you can get food, so in order to save time, people here basically don't take more than ten seconds to close the door when they go to get food, and I need to clean up the camera, so I must be slower than others in terms of movement, every time I open the door, basically the people near my room have already left, of course, all the doors are open, That's why I was so weird just now. After eating, Jane stood up and turned off the camera.
Looking at the pitch black on the screen, Zhou Xin asked Atlas, "How long are these videos in total, and how long will it take to get to the interesting place you said?" Because he found that more than two hours had passed since he started reading this material.
"Brother Captain, don't worry, it's not long." Atlas replied, "Isn't that why they want you to know the whole thing?" ”
At this time, the screen lit up again, and since Atlas had said so, Zhou Xin focused his attention on the screen again.
Jane in front of the camera looked a little excited, and the first thing he said was, "Finally found a breakthrough." Then he rubbed his hands excitedly, "I didn't write down the whole thing because it was too urgent, but now that I have time, I want to explain what happened some time ago." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Remember what I thought was strange about the door before? Just yesterday, I still couldn't suppress my curiosity and found a way to open the door on the other side, of course, you don't have to worry about how the door was opened, the key is the scene you see inside. ”
"Unexpectedly, the person I saw before was actually unconscious in his bed. I wondered why I hadn't seen him in the past two days, of course, I couldn't see him without help. After thinking about what had happened in the past two days, I finally decided to go to Joe for help. Luckily, Joe stayed near the gate all day as he had seen him the first time, and I didn't know what he was doing. After listening to my explanation, his expression was still indifferent, and even showed a hint of unwillingness to care when he answered. However, at my strong request, he finally hesitantly agreed to help find a doctor. ”
"Led by Joe, we went together to find someone Joe knew who used to seem to be a doctor. That person seems to be called Jacka, and when he heard my description, he looked at my expression very strangely, and his first reaction was that he was the same as Joe, and he didn't want to care about it at all. In the end, I had to talk about it, and he agreed to take a look at it together. ”
"But although he didn't want to care about it at first, when Jacka saw the patient, he was still very dedicated, and his professional level was really superb, and he saw the problem in just a moment. The cause of the man's illness at first was a fever, but now he is almost cured, and now he is still in a coma because he has not taken in food for several days, and only needs to consume some food. ”
"It may sound like a simple requirement, but it's the hardest part." "As I've said before, the food here is served at regular intervals, one serving per person. Except for the extra supply of medical institutions, it is basically impossible to find additional food in other places, and it is impossible for unemployed people like them to go to the regular medical institutions in Space City for treatment. So, if you want to give him a piece of food now, you can only take one out of the food we have received now. And for everyone, the food they receive in a day is not even enough for their own use, let alone contributed. ”
Sighing, Jane continued: "Even I was hesitant at the time, but seeing Joe and Jacka's expressions at that time, I knew that the two of them could only do it here, and it was impossible for them to bring out the food. My heart didn't allow me to watch the unconscious man die like this, so I took out my own food. The moment I brought the food, the expressions on both of them changed when they looked at me, and the look in them was so complicated that I can't describe it. In the process of feeding the man, although none of the three of us spoke, I could feel that Joe and Jacka had a noticeable change in their attitudes towards me. ”
Speaking of this, Jane became a little excited, "I didn't expect that just a piece of food would become a breakthrough to improve the relationship with them." Later, when they asked me why I had brought out my food, I had to answer to their surprise, but they didn't say anything, just looked at me with a lot of kindness, and I was finally able to have some simple conversations with the two of them. ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and as fast as she could, Jane hid the camera to her waist and opened the door.
"Jane, that person has woken up, do you want to go and see it?" There was an unfamiliar voice from the door that Zhou Xin hadn't stood up before.
"Did you wake up so soon?" Jane's tone was a little surprised.
"I said yesterday that his illness has long been cured, but he is just faint from hunger, and he will wake up naturally after eating food and resting a little." The stranger explained, and hearing what he said, Zhou Xin guessed that he was the Dr. Jeka that Jane was talking about.
"That's great." Jane's tone was a little happy, "Then let's go and see." As soon as he stepped out of the room, he remembered something, "Wait, he should be hungry now, I'll go get something to eat." With that, he returned to his room, and then he stood at the table for a moment before turning around and walking out of the room again.
"When everyone is awake, do you want to give him food?" Jecca's tone was a little surprised.
"Isn't it needed?" Jane asked suspiciously, "Yesterday he only ate the portion of food I gave, isn't he hungry now?" ”
"Hungry is hungry, but he's not awake now, you just let him get the food himself." Jakka said.
"He's up and moving now?" Jane was a little surprised, "But isn't it time now?" He has to wait for tomorrow to get food, so what will he do today? After saying this, he seemed to understand what Jerka meant, "You mean to let me leave him alone?" How does this work? How can there be a reason to save half of the salvation? ”
Jacka sighed, "I'm doing this for your own good, forget it, you can do whatever you want, anyway, just give him a little more to eat today." With that, he pushed open the opposite door and walked in.
"Luke, the one who really saved you is here." As soon as she pushed the door open, Jacka said inside.
Jane followed Jaica and walked in, and Zhou Xin saw that there seemed to be a person standing on the edge of the bed, looking at the outfit, it seemed to be Joe he had seen before. Then he looked over to the bed next to Joe, and saw that the man who had been unconscious had indeed woken up, and was now half-lying down, looking weakly in the direction of the door.
Walking to the bedside, Jane said, "Your name is Luke, don't you?" We already met the other day. Luke on the bed nodded and didn't answer, but looked at Jane with complicated eyes.
"You haven't eaten in a day, you must be hungry." Jane didn't pay attention to his gaze, but continued, "At the same time, he handed the food bag he was holding in his hand to Luke, now you can eat by yourself, this is for you." ”
Luke on the bed did not stretch out his hand, but continued to look at Jane with a complicated gaze, and after a long time like this, he asked in a weak voice, "Why did you save my ......?" ”
