Chapter 23: Temptation (5)

"I didn't know what was going on at the time, the man in sunglasses... He said that his surname was Chang, and he could be called Boss Chang. Then he told me to show him the black book. After I handed it to him, he said that he could grant my wish, and from then on everyone would respect me and please me, and no one would look down on me. I used to think that he was from the underworld, and after doing things for me, he would ask for a lot of overpaid money, so I told him that I couldn't afford to pay. He told me that it didn't matter, that as long as I kept my promise, my wish would always be mine and that I didn't need anything in return, but that once I broke my vow, I had to pay the price. And the oath I must keep is to never reveal the content of my wish with the Black Book Company to outsiders..."The high school girl said this, and her head bowed with a heavy heart.

"Then I don't remember anything. When I woke up, I was in the dormitory bed, and I thought I had a dream, but there was indeed a strange black book next to my pillow, and from that day on, everyone left Li Nana and continued to please me. I realized that my wish had really been granted, and everything was true. It's just that after that day, I never saw the red-haired boy and the Black Book Company again. ”

"Since you say so, it doesn't seem like a bad organization for Black Books." Li Tang listened to the girl's narration, and his heart was even more puzzled. "According to you, everything you do is voluntary, and the Black Book Company has not interfered in your life anymore. But what are you afraid of? Are the consequences really that serious when you tell someone about these things? ”

"Don't ask me again. I've told you everything you want to know. Please keep your promise..."The high school girl whispered, "It's my own fault, I used to think that if I mastered Li Nana's small group, I would never become the same person as her, but in the end... I did it myself. All of it is up to me. ”

After that, the high school girl didn't say a word again. No matter what tricks Li Tang used to coerce and lure, she refused to confide half a word. So Lin Xingcheng replaced him, and during this period, Li Tang made the first call to Zhou Ji. But before the two of them could end the call, the girl suddenly convulsed. Lin Xingcheng, who was in the interrogation room at the time, saw all this with his own eyes, and thought that he was too strict to make the girl feel nervous and pretended, so he hurriedly called Li Tang to replace him, but the moment Li Tang entered the interrogation room, the electrical equipment of the entire facility suddenly failed, and the whole house in broad daylight seemed to suddenly pour into a cloud of toxic black gas, and nothing could be seen, and even when the lighting equipment of the mobile phone was turned on, it was still pitch black that could not be seen, and the originally small room actually lost its edge. After about ten minutes, the fog cleared, everything returned to normal, and when I looked at the interrogation room again, Li Tang and the female high school students all disappeared.

After Lin Xingcheng finished narrating everything, the room fell into a long silence again.

After a while, Wang Yao spoke: "... Are you saying that Li Tang and the female high school student disappeared into the police station out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes? It's unlikely. Could it be that someone inside the police station is playing tricks, cutting off the power switch of the equipment to release psychedelic gas, and then secretly transferring the two people in the interrogation room? ”

Lin Xingcheng shook his head and said, "No." If that were the case, there would have been gas residue in the room, but the air test afterwards did not reveal any unusual gases. To say that there are people inside the police department who can do such a thing, I really don't believe it. ”

“... This can no longer be treated as a normal incident in the Black Book Company. Zhou Ji frowned. Lin Xingcheng, you told us so much detail, do you want us to blame all the cases in File 0376 on supernatural events like you? ”

"Or else?" Lin Xingcheng shrugged. "Actually, I already knew that something was wrong, our opponents were not normal people, and they didn't deliberately hide it, otherwise they would have acted long before we took all the suspects from before. But instead of doing that, they generously asked us to look it up, just to tell us one thing: these are not things you can control. ”

"So are you going to report this conclusion as a finding?"

"How could it be. Do you think your boss will give up because of this? Lin Xingcheng smiled helplessly. Either they don't believe it, or they'll make us try to contact the Black Books in the same way that the high school girl did. ”

"Speaking of contacting the Black Book Company," Yue Zhi asked, "Although the method that the female high school student said seems absurd, there is no other way. Didn't you all try it at the time? ”

"I've tried, but why haven't I tried. Not only did I try it myself, but I also called all the staff who were handling the case at the time. But you see, I'm still sitting here without any clues. If it weren't for that girl going crazy or lying, we wouldn't be the 'chosen ones' for Black Books. Lin Xingcheng said, "Or maybe because the people from the Black Book Company know that we are handling the case, so they refuse to let us find them." ”

"If that's the case, why did Li Tang disappear?" Zhou Ji interrupted Lin Xingcheng's reasoning, "Li Tang, he is also an agent, or an agent exclusive to File 0376, if he really disappears without a trace, he can't even be found, except for a supernatural event... What other explanation is there for being taken away by the Black Book Company? Then your argument is not true, presumably it has nothing to do with our profession. ”

"Is it possible that Li Tang knows too much? The high school girl told him too many things, and while he was afraid of leaking secrets, the people from the Black Book Company took them away together. As soon as Yue Zhi said this, he realized that all he said was nonsense. Because everyone in this room knew no less than Li Tang at that time, why did Li Tang disappear alone? So he immediately added, "When I didn't say it." ”

"Wait, wait, let's not talk about it." At this time, Wang Yao exerted his leadership talent, and he waved his hand to interrupt the discussion of several people. "Why are you suddenly convinced that the series of cases of the Black Book Company are supernatural events? Relying on supernatural events like you will not help us solve the case at all, and it will only increase our anxiety. Although everyone knows that what has happened recently is very strange, but we are agents of the Security Bureau, we can't judge that things are unsolvable, Mr. Lin Xingcheng, you too, I know that you have more experience in this area than any of us, but do you think this can be done? ”

Lin Xingcheng was stunned, he couldn't say half a sentence when he was stuck by Wang Yao's words. After a while, he said quietly: "I'm sorry, it's because I'm not professional enough, I shouldn't have made up my mind so early." ”

Wang Yao nodded.

"It's too late today, let's rest early, there's more to take care of tomorrow."
