Chapter XVII

It took a long time for Zhou Wen to get out of the language that Zou Li said.

After watching Zou Li report to the superiors, she patted her cheek to sober herself up and return to her usual state.

I still have work to do.

And that's not something you can handle.

After comforting herself, Zhou Wen took two cups of hot water from the water dispenser and entered the room where Yu Zhao was held.

After handing him a cup of hot water, he sat down opposite him with a gentle expression.

"Mr. Yu Zhao, please don't be nervous, we have no malicious intent. You can call me Zhou Wen from the beginning. ”

She shows her professionalism.

"Where is this, how did I end up in this place? And, that monster ...... Changes in my senses. Can you give me an explanation? After Yu Zhao took a sip of hot water, he frowned and said, "I feel like I'm going crazy." ”

"That's what I'm here to do." Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Yu Zhao, to tell you the truth, everything you encountered in the clothing store was arranged by us. ”

Then she took out her ID card and gave it to Yu Zhao, with the words "Linjiang City Investigation Bureau" written on it, and when she opened it, her name, position, and a photo of her ID were displayed.

"You can call us the Bureau of Investigation." Zhou Wen said: "But more often than not, we are treated as relevant units. ”

"I have an idea." Yu Zhao still looked very puzzled, "But why are you doing this......

Zhou Wen didn't explain, but put a brown paper bag on the table, "Mr. Yu Zhao, you can take a look at this first." ”

Yu Zhao glanced at the mirror on the left, and he knew that it was a one-way glass. When talking to an awakened person like himself, there are often more awakened people and heavily armed personnel standing behind him.

With no other choice, he opened the paper bag and took out the documents in it and browsed through.

[Action Code: Going to School]

[Action Objectives: Containment of the source of infection and the corresponding infected person; Hunt the Invasion Void Monsters]

[Hazard Level: High]

[Infection risk: high]

[Source of Infection: A sixteenth-century notebook, written in unknown ciphered script.] The method of infection is direct observation, and the person is infected after more than 10 seconds of visual text. (Status: Contained)]

[List of infected persons (Linjiang City): Li Cai, chairman of Linjiang Caiyuan Construction Co., Ltd. (deceased); Rong Ying, Li Cai's wife, infected person No. 1 (deceased); Chen Hua, professor of linguistics at Linjiang University (contained); Zhao Li, Professor of Linguistics, Linjiang University (contained); Zhang Tingkai, former professor of linguistics at Linjiang Normal University (deceased); Zhang Sheng, son of Zhang Tingkai (deceased); Yu Zhao, detective (unknown), etc., 12 people in total]

[List of Invasion Void Monsters: E-11 Green Ghost (Eliminated); D-9 Red Mother (Eliminated); D-3 fish-faced teratogenesis (eliminated) and 7 others】

The documentation is thick, and turning the next page is a concrete course of action. and photographs of the scene at the time of the victim's death or containment.

Looking at the list of infected people, Yu Zhao gradually recalled. It was precisely because of the sudden madness of Li Cai's wife that he became involved in this infection incident as a detective investigating the incident.

……

Just as Yu Zhao was browsing the documents, Zhou Wen drank his saliva and said slowly: "This world is not as beautiful as people imagined, the end time is coming, and if you are not careful, there will be monsters from another world to invade, kill and infect humans, and easily destroy the thousands of years of civilization accumulated by humans." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhao put down the document in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Wen.

"Monsters? Like the two I came across. ”

"That's right. The Void Monster you encounter at the beginning, codenamed D-3, is a creature from another world, the Shadow Realm. It was because you were so out of control after you came into contact with the source of infection that you lured that monster into this world. ”

She then explained to Yu Zhao the difference between a severely out-of-control infected person and a mildly out-of-control infected person, and how the Void Monster invaded the real world through a severely out-of-control infected.

Yu Zhao listened carefully, acting as if he knew this knowledge for the first time.

His expression seemed to be shocked by this knowledge, and gradually became solemn.

Zhou Wen continued: "So in order to reduce the impact of the virtual monsters after the invasion from the shadow realm and avoid the occurrence of more infection incidents, the Investigation Bureau was established. Our job is simple, investigating anomalous events, containing the infected, hunting down the Void, and hunting down the Awakened. ”

In the future, these four tasks will be explained more simply: we investigate, we contain, we hunt, we hunt.

"I see, so you're trying to contain me?" Yu Zhao pretended to be stupid.

"That's exactly what I planned at the beginning," Zhou Wen smiled and picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

In fact, as for how to deal with Yu Zhao, the investigation bureau is obviously divided into two factions. One group of people believes that there are too many suspicions in Yu Zhao's body, and suggests containment, and some even think that Yu Zhao should be eliminated like those virtual monsters.

On the other hand, the other group believes that Yu Zhao's suspicions may be related to the surge in abnormal events in recent years, and the investigation bureau is now short of manpower, so it is recommended that he be recruited as an investigator to relieve the pressure and monitor him.

Zhou Wen belongs to the latter, and she sees potential in Yu Zhao. It was only after her efforts that she was qualified for the test and permission for this conversation.

It can be said that the outcome of this conversation directly affected Yu Zhao's life and death.

"Mr. Yu Zhao. Have you noticed something strange in your body and some incredible powers? ”

Yu Zhao clenched his fists, "Yes, my body has indeed changed. ”

"That's because you've awakened and mastered abilities that surpass those of ordinary people. The process of mastering this ability is called awakening, and the person who has mastered it is called the awakened person. ”

Zhou Wen went on to explain, "In response to increasingly serious anomalous events, the Bureau of Investigation has been recruiting awakened people to become investigators to maintain peace and security in the city. ”

She wanted to say something more, but at this time......

The tiny earpiece in Zhou Wen's ear made a sound.

"It's not up to you to decide whether to recruit Yu Zhao or not! Ask him what's going on in the alley! ”

It was the voice of those from the Containment faction, and the number of people who followed the conversation was more than she could have imagined, and there was even a rare appearance of a big figure from within the Bureau.

Although it was unhappy, those people were right, whether to recruit Yu Zhao or not was not something that Zhou Wen could decide alone.

After two seconds of silence, Zhou Wen opened her mouth and asked, "Before talking about the next words, Mr. Yu Zhao, as an investigation bureau, we want to know what happened in the alley at that time?" ”

"What's going on in the alley?" Yu Zhao said calmly, "I do remember something. ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhou Wen tried to keep herself as calm as possible.

She was also curious about what was happening in that alley.

"I remember that the monster seemed to have come out of its unreal state and became incredibly real in an instant. I was terrified, and at the same time, my whole senses became so clear that the amount of information almost burst through my brain. ”

Yu Zhao began to recite the manuscript that had been prepared long ago, and with his acting skills, it made people feel like they were on the scene.

"It's a sign of awakening."

Yu Zhao continued, his expression changing in fluctuating emotions. "My head hurt, but I felt the monster's strong hostility, so I immediately broke the cloth on the ground and tried to defend it. Vaguely, I could see that there was a noticeable difference in the monster. ”

"The difference?"

Zhou Wen straightened up and leaned forward slightly.

Her keen instincts told her that maybe this was the reason why Yu Zhao was able to perform a miracle and defeat D-3 alone.

"That's right." Yu Zhao nodded, "Although I can control my senses now, at that time, the vision in my eyes was completely abstracted, for example, the picture in the thermal imager was the world in my eyes at that time. And that difference, after I killed that void valley, I understood what it meant. ”

"When I poked the tip of the cloth at that different point, the monster died."

"That difference is the monster's weakness."

"Weakness?"

"That's my guess."

Yu Zhao took a sip of hot water to calm down.

"After that, my head hurt and I ran out of the alley before I knew it. Time twisted in my mind, I don't remember where I had gone during that time, and when I woke up again, I was back home. You should all know the rest of the story. ”

After hearing Yu Zhao's words, Zhou Wen was silent.

Here's how it happened.

Reasonable accidents, strength and luck created this miracle.

D-3's strength lies in its powerful influence on human sanity, when Yu Zhao's mind was extremely confused, and the influence of the Void Monster on his mind was very limited.

As for the weaknesses......

When Yu Zhao said this, countless exclamations and doubts came from Zhou Wen's ears!

The Bureau of Investigation is indeed unaware of the weakness of the Void. Thanks to Yu Zhao, this is a new discovery.

After hearing the noise in the headphones, Zhou Wen secretly rejoiced in her heart, which made her heart feel more comfortable than her doubts being answered.

"Mr. Yu Zhao, this experience of yours is quite meaningful to the Investigation Bureau."

Judging from the sound in the headphones, there must be no way for those containment guys to stop themselves in this matter.

"Let's continue with the conversation we just left. Mr. Yu Zhao, you remember that I said that there was a change in your containment plan. Well, we arranged an event. ”

"Yes, and I'm confused."

"It's a test to test your level of danger. You also know how dangerous it is for an out-of-control infected, let alone an awakened out-of-control infected. ”

"Reasonable." Yu Zhao agreed, and then asked, "Then did I pass the test?" ”

"Honestly, excellent." Zhou Wen expressed praise and appreciation, "Although you have caused great damage in the process of eliminating the D-5 four-handed ghost, it is within the acceptable range of the Investigation Bureau. Moreover, we were surprised that you were able to detect the anomaly of the infected and save him. ”

"So, we've changed our containment plan for you. Mr. Yu Zhao, in view of your performance in the test, the Bureau of Investigation has formally extended an invitation to you. ”

As she spoke, Zhou Wen stretched out her arm and wanted to shake hands with Yu Zhao.

This hand represents the olive branch of the Investigation Bureau, as long as Yu Zhao holds it, it means joining.

Joining the Bureau of Investigation was the most crucial step in his plan.

Only by joining the Bureau of Investigation can you get in touch with the reason why Mother Eren escaped control.

As for why he went to the Deformed Club before doing this, in addition to promoting the development of technology, it was because he couldn't contact the Bureau of Investigation as an infected person, and if he had been in contact with the Bureau of Investigation in the alley at the time, the only thing that awaited him was to be contained.

Only by becoming an Awakened can you be recruited.

So, he went to the Freak Club. This era is the most likely independent organization that will allow itself to complete its awakening.

Looking at the slender jade hand in front of him, the purpose of the plan was about to be completed.

However, in the next second, Yu Zhao raised his head, looked directly into Zhou Wen's eyes, and replied:

"I'm sorry, I don't want to join the Bureau of Investigation."
