Volume 2 - Abyss Detective Chapter 2 Light Diver - The Light Diver

Through the corridor connecting the other building, from the front exit of the police station to the outside, the biting cold air from outside the coat made Shen Yuan tremble. It was an unbearable cold, but it was much better than the morgue full of death, suspicion, and faction. He didn't seem to care about the pain in his lungs as if they were being crushed, and kept repeating deep breaths. Thin snow was flying all over the sky, and it was falling with a faint sound. It's like sand in an hourglass.

"Good work, Shen Yuan. Is it over? ”

"Teacher Ning."

A voice of greeting came from behind, and Shen Yuan turned around in response, and his breath formed a small white mist.

"It's taken longer than I thought it would be. It's finally over.,I'm still thinking about whether I should go to Tono to show up.,And you've already come out.。 ”

The woman called Teacher Ning used a clear tone that symbolized bright thinking, and a cheerful laughter, which made Shen Yuan relax his shoulders as if he had tensed up at some point.

"You've done a great job. My side ......"

"Okay, since you came out so early, I probably guessed it."

As soon as Shen Yuan wanted to speak, he was guessed by Teacher Ning. It seems that this situation is still used to them for a while.

"Yes. Unfortunately, it was judged to be useless for searches......"

"Ah, that's true. Thanks to us for coming here on such a cold day. How's it going, didn't you see any important scenes? ”

In fact, Shen Yuan felt that it was not a question of whether or not he had obtained useful information, but that the final result should have been decided from the beginning in the heart of that criminal policeman. But there was no need to say it specifically, he just nodded and said:

"Yes. As always, it was a very roundabout sight, and no information about the murderer was obtained......"

"This kind of circle is your ability, they should know it."

Teacher Ning was upset for Shen Yuan.

"What do they know ......"

Shen Yuan knew that knowing was not the same as believing and accepting, which reminded him of what he had been said in the morgue, and he muttered a little unwillingly.

"What's going on with this half-baked intelligence. Who is that teenager? What is the relevance of the case? If I go to the survey, I can get in touch? Forget it, it's better to do a little bit of research with that effort. ”

These were the words that the criminal policeman said after hearing Shen Yuan's description. He can understand, after all, with the same destination as the goal, the profession of criminal police pursues speed. Instead of going around the road, you can go straight as fast as you can, even if you need to dig a tunnel to carry out a surprise attack.

“...... Well, it can't be helped. My [deep dive] was too circuitous for the search effort. ”

Shen Yuan swallowed the bitter thought and only spat out this sentence. Looking at his side face like this, Teacher Ning sighed deeply.

"Xiao Shen, you are really a good boy too much. Anyway, it must be like that, and he said, 'I'm sorry it didn't come in handy, I'll leave the progress of the investigation,' and bowed, right? ”

"That's ...... Manners. ”

Shen Yuan had nothing to say, his life seemed to have been manipulated by the woman in front of him.

"That kind of thing, wait until you're 5 years old! The correct answer for your age should be, 'Don't regret it, f**k!' **Damn it! I'm going to charge 1 million for the next appearance! 'Such. ”

"Teacher, this is the entrance to the police station."

Shen Yuan hurriedly stopped Teacher Ning, who had a fierce expression on his face and two middle fingers up.

Teacher Ning, whose full name is Ning Tongsheng, used to be a bad girl, and after entering the society, she began to work in the Department of Science and Technology, and now she is the boss of Shen Yuan, who is engaged in special criminal work while being a semi-full-time teacher, and has a very complex resume.

If you stand with your mouth closed, you look like a smart and sharp beauty.,Whether it's a teacher or a criminal policeman.,But occasionally it shows its former nature like this.。

"-Well, I guessed it. Anyway, it's just an atmosphere that I didn't want to call you in the first place. ”

"Why do you know?"

Shen Yuan thought as he recalled the gloomy atmosphere floating in the morgue, which was different from the aura of death.

“...... That's right. Probably the instructions above, it seems to be very unhappy. ”

"So, is it the victory of the territorial consciousness? Although spirit is a very important weapon for the criminal police, it is really meaningless to cling to it. ”

"I feel like I'm going to solve it on my own, but I think there's more distrust of me, that's my impression."

"Even now, there are people who think your abilities are the same as those of superpowers."

Ning Tongsheng crooked his red lips and laughed at the people who were behind the times. Although it was a very refreshing statement, Shen Yuan didn't know how to answer. Why, because he himself doesn't know if he's the same kind of person as those superpowers. Because this is the mysterious power that Ki suddenly got one day.

"Whether it's supernatural or scientific, as long as it can produce results, it will be a waste to deny it. It's what you can do and what you can do. ”

Ning Tongsheng saw that Shen Yuan was a little confused, so he opened his mouth and said this, correctly interpreting the confusion that appeared on his face. Although she said it very lightly, it was an important cognition for Shen Yuan as important as a backbone.

“...... That's what I thought, too. ”

"As I've said before, there are several people like you around the world. They were all very active in the search and achieved results, and both cognition and research seemed to be improving. Recently, even the scholars of the former FB1 have written papers. ”

"Is it about this ability?"

"Yes. However, rather than explaining the principles, the focus is more on evaluating the performance of the BAU (Behavioural Analysis Unit) and looking for a sense of aptitude. ”

"That's really...... Would love to read it! ”

The excitement of being able to get the [answer] that Shen Yuan had almost given up looking for made him raise his voice.

"Why, it's rare to see you so interested. But it's inevitable. Yes, I'll send it to you next time. But since it's only the original version, I'll try to translate it myself. If there's something you don't understand, I can help you see. ”

"Okay, thank you very much."

Shen Yuan was a little excited, after all, this was a great time to learn about other people of the same kind. No matter how bad it is, being able to know other people in the world who have the same special abilities as you can still let yourself see it thoroughly.

"Well, it's almost time to go. It's snowing heavily. ”

Ning Tongsheng looked at the sky and walked in the direction of the parking lot, his car must have been waiting impatiently. Shen Yuan fantasized about the warmth in the car on the way back, and followed behind with trembling shoulders.

The city where Shen Yuan is located, called Baimo City, is a metropolis in the north. In addition to its economic development, the city is larger than the entire capital and has a very large population on average. Looking out through the car window as you are now, the snowflakes sloping and dancing contrast with the street. It's as beautiful as an embroidery painting. It has a feeling that complements the elegant name "white ink".

Nevertheless, this kind of description is not until more recent times, and it seems that it was originally called "white puddles" or "white tiles"—white puddles, or white tiles.

The dancing wind and snow have immersed people in the white world since ancient times, locking them in the long winter. Or perhaps because of this, from ancient times to the present, bloody anecdotes and cruel incidents have not stopped in this land. It's because people's common sense, rationality, and sense of reality seem to be shrouded in white fog, and the evil qualifications in their hearts are induced.

"Ah, yes."

Ning Tongsheng suddenly stopped and spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuan also stopped and asked.

"The title of that paper, I remember. It's called [Light Diver]. ”

[Light Diver] - It means [Light Diver]. Why did the person who wrote the paper choose such a title, even if he didn't ask about its meaning, Shen Yuan had already noticed it. But he thought he'd be called [Light Seeker] - [Light Chaser] or something.

In the vast labyrinth of the path of cause and effect, seek out and capture the flickering ball of light that will change fate. There seem to be many people who know that situation and feelings, except for Shen Yuan. And, like him, he uses it in criminal searches.

"That's great, it's a good name."

Ning Tongsheng said happily and looked at Shen Yuan on the side.

"yes."

Shen Yuan nodded, staring at the ever-growing wind and snow, and the gray sky dome that shone faintly in the thin clouds. If you keep staring, you can't tell if it's snowing in the sky or if he's falling from the sky. But now, for some reason, even this feeling of instability makes him feel satisfied.

Ning Tongsheng taught,It is also the Baimo School Park where Shen Yuan studied,It is a municipal school where local famous families gather.。 The historic wooden schoolhouse has the atmosphere of a sanctuary and has a solemn atmosphere.

Two years ago, he chose to go to this school because of "cheap tuition" and "excellent learning resources". But the actual reason is slightly different. Although tuition fees and learning resources are also important, the main reason for the more important is the special nature of his status.
