Chapter Twenty-Three: The Comeback

Lou Yue seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then she seemed to understand something. He turned to Xiao Yan and gestured, and the latter reacted from surprise, nodded, put down his clothes, and left the ward.

After Xiao Yan left, Lou Yue looked at Ye Yu's eyes and said word by word: "56K, 67X, 97L, 10:00PM, a coordinate and time point." ”

"Where is the medicine box in my dormitory?" Ye Yu's eyes were still vigilant.

"The medicine kit is in the drawer of the desk, and there are some personal items in it. By the way, when I came to the dorm that day, there was some idiot who thought I was an assassin and tried to whip me with his bag, but he ended up cutting his hand. Lou Yue snorted lightly, and his tone was not without mockery. If you still think I'm a fake in "virtual reality", you can continue to ask questions. ”

Ye Yu's tense nerves gradually relaxed, what Lou Yue said just now was indeed known only to himself and Lou Yue, and judging from the previous series of memories, it was reasonable for Lou Yue to appear in front of him.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous just now, Ye Yu, who had relaxed down, began to feel the pain in his body, and suddenly lay down on the bed, maybe the previous movement was a little big, and he pulled the wound.

"You...... Is the body okay? This time, there was no sarcasm in Lou Yue's tone.

"It's okay...... It shouldn't be a big deal. Ye Yu said ashamedly. Sorry, I seem to be too sensitive...... By the way, to Xiao Yan just now...... I'm really sorry. ”

"Wait and tell her in person." Lou Yue turned around, "You just woke up, or recover again, and I'll come back to you in two days." With that, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Director ......" Ye Yu hurriedly called Lou Yue, "I have something to say to you." ”

Lou Yue turned his head and looked at Ye Yu.

"I've encountered a lot of strange things before, so I reacted like that just now." Ye Yu sighed, "I want to tell you all the causes and consequences of these things, maybe it will help you find the murderer." ”

Lou Yue dragged a chair and sat down again, and her face returned to an indifferent expression. "Say it."

Ye Yu sat up and began to tell a series of encounters from the time he was led to the bungalow area.

……

“…… That's the way it is. Ye Yu concluded.

"You're saying that the last 'virtual reality' scene shattered on its own?" Lou Yue thought about it and cast his gaze on Ye Yu.

“…… That's right. The scene was already collapsing, and then it all shattered in an instant, so I picked up a life. And then here you are. Ye Yu remembered the last care of the mysterious masked man, and decided to skip the part that was saved by him.

"How did you feel when you found that the scene began to fluctuate and collapse in 'virtual reality'?" Lou Yue asked again.

"Hmm...... I feel a little hot, as if there is an energy in my body bursting out...... I'm sorry, but I seemed a little out of control at that time, and I can't remember some details. Ye Yu's expression was a little tangled.

Lou Yue lowered his head and was silent, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.

"Director, do you think that the reason for the sudden collapse of the 'virtual reality' scene at that time had something to do with my body?" Ye Yu asked cautiously.

"Quite possibly." Lou Yue raised his head. "As far as I can guess, it was your 'Destroyer' constitution that saved you at the time."

"My constitution?" Ye Yu scratched his head. "Isn't my constitution only able to defend against external brain wave invasions? Is it possible to break the control of "virtual reality"? “

"Theoretically, a 'destroyer' is a person with a special immune system, and this immune system is not static, but constantly evolves according to the environment they are exposed to."

"Evolution?" Ye Yu's eyes widened.

"Yes. It's like when you get a disease, your body gradually develops antibodies and becomes immune to it. Lou Yue explained. Fundamentally, this kind of "virtual reality" technology also creates an "illusion" for you by manipulating the sensory signals received by the brain, and your physique can clear this artificial brain interference, and you will naturally be able to solve this "illusion". ”

Is that so? It seems that the previous encounter at the "Memories" bar has inadvertently made me resistant to "virtual reality"; And then this time, in the face of danger, this ability suddenly exploded. Ye Yu suddenly realized.

"Of course, because there is not much information about the 'Expulsor', and our research on your physique is limited, there may be other hidden abilities that we don't know." Lou Yue looked at Ye Yu. "But if my inference is correct, then you should be immune to this 'virtual reality' trap in the future."

"Really? That's great! Ye Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, since experiencing the 'illusion' of being chased and killed by 'Xiao Yan', Ye Yu found that he couldn't fully believe everything in front of him, if he continued like this, he would go crazy sooner or later, and he suddenly sincerely thanked his parents for giving him such a physique.

"To be on the safe side, you can do a full body check-up later, and after your body recovers, you can arrange a test to prove if you really have 'virtual reality' immunity." Lou Yue added.

Ye Yu nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked at Lou Yue. "By the way, I remembered that there was still the person disguised as Xiao Yan in the 'Illusion', as if he called them ...... What ...... 'potential'? "

"Devour!" Lou Yue's body trembled suddenly, her pupils contracted suddenly, and her expression suddenly became terrifying and gloomy. "Sure enough...... Sure enough, it's them! "

"…… Director, do you know them? Seeing that Lou Yue, who had always been calm, was a little out of shape, Ye Yu was very surprised.

"…… You don't have to meddle in this matter anymore, I'll take care of the rest. Lou Yue didn't answer Ye Yu's question, but couldn't help but give an order.

Seeing Lou Yue's resolute appearance, Ye Yu couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only nod again.

Lou Yue got up and walked to the door, "You have a good rest here, it's safe here, don't act alone in the near future." After taking care of it, he hurried away.

Ye Yu thought back to Lou Yue's reaction just now, and felt that things were probably far more complicated than he imagined.

"Devouring" ...... Is it an organization? Who are they? Why does it make Lou Yue nervous like this?

Ye Yu's head began to swell and ache again, so he didn't think much about it, lay down on the bed again, and fell asleep again in a daze after a while.

-----------------

A faint halo of yellowish light appeared in the dim space.

The aura grew brighter and brighter, and at the same time gradually changed. I saw a white pillar of light slowly rising from one end of the aura, and then four pillars of light, gold, blue, red, and black appeared from left to right, enveloping the entire aura.

However, the changes did not stop, and the shape of these pillars of light began to change in an incredible way. In the golden light, a majestic white tiger quietly landed; A dark shadow of a dragon also swirled upwards with the cyan light, gradually taking shape; Suzaku spread its wings and whistled out from the flaming pillar of red light; The black pillar of light gradually precipitated, slowly outlining Xuanwu's figure. The white pillar of light that appeared at the beginning began to rotate slowly, and finally transformed into a yin and yang Taiji elephant.

At this time, the pale yellow aura seemed to have exhausted all energy, gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared; At the same time, the five pillars of light were also officially transformed, and a figure slowly appeared in each pillar of light.

"Hey, I said Director-General, why did you suddenly have the interest to call us to a meeting, this is not your style." A man's voice broke the silence with a hint of surprise, and the 'White Tiger' was the first to speak.

"There's a lot of nonsense, and the chief director naturally has her reasons for doing this." Suzaku's tone was full of disdain.

"Haha, you're still so mean, people say that a woman's boss will have wrinkles on her face." 'White Tiger' didn't care and continued to tease.

'Suzaku' snorted lightly, as if he didn't want to talk to the other party too much.

"Hehe, okay, okay." A calm male voice sounded, only to hear 'Xuanwu' laughing and playing in the round, "Let's listen to what the chief director has to say first." "

"Today's convening of a meeting of the four major sub-chiefs is a very important piece of news to inform you." A childish female voice came from the 'Yin Yang Tai Chi Elephant', and the figure of a smaller girl gradually disappeared from the pillar of light. Although the voice sounded childish, the tone was unexpectedly steady and peaceful, and the aura of the whole person revealed an indescribable majesty, and several people at the scene instantly closed their mouths and listened carefully.

"'Devouring' appeared." The girl got straight to the point.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, although the words just now were brief, they were like a bombshell, and everyone's faces changed.

"…… Are they really not dead set on making a comeback? "After a short silence, the 'White Tiger' gritted his teeth and said.

"Let Lou Yue talk to you in detail." The girl gestured to the 'green dragon' on the side.

"A while ago, a ring that appeared to be a blood keystone appeared in the Eastern District." 'Qinglong' spoke slowly, and the voice was Lou Yue. "In the process of tracing, we noticed that someone secretly snatched the ring and caused a number of murders one after another, among which we found clues of 'devouring'."

Lou Yue told a series of recent events one by one, and several other sub-chiefs listened carefully, and their expressions became more and more serious.

"Judging from the style of acting, it is indeed likely to be a good thing to 'devour'......" After listening to Lou Yue's story, 'Suzaku' said calmly.

"You just said that that colleague in your bureau heard the other party's self-proclaimed 'devouring' in the 'virtual reality' created by the other party, could it be a mishearing caused by a preconceived impression?" "After all, the incident of three years ago has a great impact on everyone in the game, and after having a preconceived impression, it is easy to interfere with the judgment of the situation. "

"…… No way. Lou Yue's answer was straightforward. He was a newcomer who had just been specially approved, and he didn't know anything about the events of three years ago, and I had deliberately kept him out of contact with the relevant cases. "

"Specially approved to come in?"

"Yes. He was directly involved in a series of previous cases, and was being hunted down at the time, so in order to protect him, he was temporarily arranged to enter the bureau. Lou Yue said lightly.

"This ...... Is it not thoughtful? If you want to protect, you can send someone to keep an eye on it, after all, our bureau is special, and it is not good for him to participate as an ordinary person......" 'White Tiger' was a little skeptical.

"He's not an ordinary person." Lou Yue looked at the 'White Tiger'. "He's the 'Destroyer.' Moreover, I am afraid that it has been targeted by 'devouring'. "

I'm going to travel around the neighborhood for two days on the weekend, so I sent today's update in advance.

It's been a pretty smooth few days, so when I come back tomorrow night, I'll see if there's another chapter.
