Chapter 224: The Buffet Scene
"I said, don't you think there's anything wrong?"
The civilian sitting at his desk was facing the screen, and he had been looking at the small frame on the screen for more than ten minutes, and the picture had not changed.
If it weren't for the fact that time was still moving around in the corners, the civilian would have to wonder if they were looking at a still picture.
His colleague heard the question, looked away from his area, and stared at the screen for a while.
After a while, his colleague said, "It's okay, isn't this working properly?" β
The civilian interjected, "No, I find it strange because it's too normal." β
Although it is tempting to put 360 degrees full of surveillance, the fact is that E-1's [Listening Old Man] can accept two angles facing him and facing him sideways, and no matter how many screens there are, they will be screened on the spot, and nothing will be monitored.
As a result, the civilian staff could only look at [listen to the old man's] face, and open and close his mouth.
The pen of the clerk's record had been hanging on the paper for a long time, and he really couldn't understand what [listening to the old man] was saying today.
No, he shouldn't have retold the stories told to him by people he had been there before? What's going on today?
The normal and abnormal picture began to freeze, and the civilian personnel waited patiently for a long time, but decided to report the anomaly and ask someone to go to the E-1 door to take a look.
Even if it's not yet the day to send a living person in to check in, E-1 is not a dangerous existence, but in order to prevent a chain reaction, it is really necessary to find someone-
The civilian looked at the screen and picked up the receiver to press a certain number, but he pressed his head, and then he caught a glimpse of the E-1 screen, and the old man stood up.
Civilian: ?
Civilian Personnel: !!
No, don't panic, and recall what the E-1 management instructions say!
Civilian personnel brainstorm and quickly pull out the E-1 management instructions that have never been used in the corner of memory.
Then the civilian personnel found that there was no mention at all that [Listen to the Old Man] would stand up.
Theoretically, [the old man listening] would have been sitting there and wouldn't have run out.
The thought of reading the workbook flashed through him, and finally the civilian grabbed the phone, his fingers quickly and blindly, his eyes glancing at the screen, and taking a breath when the phone was connected.
"Leader, I'm going to report to you, I found E-"
The civilian did not finish his words, and the blaring sirens sounded interrupted him.
Civilian: Ah, this.
The people around him, including him, pushed the stool very skillfully, shrunk down the table, took a pen and paper, and began to write a suicide note under the light of a flashlight.
The civilian struggled and pulled the phone line to hide.
He didn't write a suicide note, because the suicide note was written yesterday, and he didn't write a new one before he had time to burn it.
The civilian staff listened to the outside sound as the alarm changed to a human voice announcement, specifying which level and which room had escaped and someone had been sent to deal with it.
At the sound of this, the civilian staff trembled and told the E-1 what was strange.
The other end of the phone told him to calm down, and when the chaos was over, he sent someone to check.
Should...... It wouldn't have any strange reactions, would it? Hanging up, the civilian thought uncertainly.
There are sometimes some strange "chemical" reactions between paranormal creatures and supernatural objects, but E-1's [Listening Old Man] has always been a harmless ......?
β¦β¦
What does the underground of the headquarters of the Special Division of Humanity mean to Bai Su?
It's a rice bowl, and he's the mouse that fell into the rice bowl.
Of course, he must be able to run out after eating.
The structure of the building's underground structure is completely different, and with the hitchhiker of the human employee, he smoothly enters the underground space, and then changes the object of attachment as the human walks through the corridor.
The shadow wandering on the corridor is very suitable, and he also walks through one lattice room after another with Bai Su.
Bai Su sniffed the smell with his temporarily non-existent organs, and was thinking about where to start eating and how not to attract the attention of humans.
Suddenly, when he was led by a shadow to pass by a certain door, Bai Su's attention shifted.
The shadow he was attached to froze as it moved, and then the shadow was manipulated by him and turned to the door.
The shadow stuck to the door, swam around the frame of the door a few times, and slowly swam away before the humans noticed something unusual.
In a small room inside the door, an old man with gray hair sat alone on a chair in the room, his hands on his knees, his eyes lowered and staring ahead.
There wasn't much furniture in the room, except for a clock ticking on the wall.
It didn't take long for the hour and minute hands to move.
Opposite the old man, an old man with the same hunched back slowly emerged, with the same appearance and no difference in sitting posture.
Taking advantage of the process of change, Bai Su melted a little bit of white in the room.
This is also the scene that followed, the cyan cloudy pupils turned back, turning out a clear and distinct black.
Bai Su couldn't understand what kind of existence the old man was for the time being, but judging from the "E" sign and a little breath outside the door, he should be an ordinary person who was stained with supernatural powers-
The dark-eyed "old man" suddenly stopped, he froze for a few seconds, and then grinned in a way that didn't match his appearance.
Ah, that's really...... Bai Su stared at the old man and looked at it.
"I see." Bai Su, who was dressed in the skin of an old man, bent his eyes, "You don't just want to listen to stories. β
The wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of the old man in the opposite seat squeezed, and he did not speak.
If you look at the surrounding environment, you can see that humans don't value this supernatural human body very much, and Guan is locked up so close to the surface.
It's easy to escape, after all, it's only four floors underground.
Bai Su had already figured out how to get up and walk out of the door in an instant, and then how to break through the dense hall of humans...... Think far.
I helped this supernatural who was not within the scope of his recipe, of course, it was not so easy for the other party to escape.
Moreover, the other side may not have this heart.
The old man's mouth began to open and close, without specific syllables, and Bai Su saw that the other party was just making a appearance.
After thinking about it, Bai Su manipulated the body that had been conjured up one by one and stood up.
He had barely taken two steps towards the old man when a shrill siren sounded outside the cubicle.
Almost instantly, the entire hallway was lit up with red lights.
Bai Su lowered his gaze, and the old man who was blocked by him from the camera's view showed Bai Su his first smile since the outsider entered.
β¦β¦
To find an adjective for the scene in the hallway, it can be described as a hunting moment.
The supernatural is terrifying, the supernatural is uncontrolled, and the supernatural is dangerous.
When it came time to contain something supernatural, humans were prepared accordingly.
For example, the death of people, and then the destruction of underground space.
In fact, the one who escaped was just a supernatural classified as C, but he couldn't stand the trouble of suppression, and the other side was mentally harmed.
I don't know if it was the grid that I passed by when I fled, which triggered the chain reaction, and the people who were sent to pursue fell into hallucinations, and the spirit escaped several layers without noticing.
"I didn't catch it, it teleported!"
"There is no trace of it on the third floor."
"On the fifth floor!"
Simply omitting the negative prefix, the human race hurried down again.
At this time, they felt that it would be very convenient to have the ability to teleport, at least they didn't have to go up and down the stairs and take the elevator.
However, they couldn't catch up with them, and it took a while for the team members who were addicted to hallucinations to wake up, some of them woke up on their own, and some were awakened by their peers using a physical version of psychoanalysis.
If your sanity falls again, it's really going to be bad.
With similar thoughts, the pursuing team members eventually turned to the commander for help.
Although they have no external injuries, they can go to the nursing home to book a bed in a group after two more trips.
At that time, there will be fewer people who can be used and can go to the field, and then they will need to go to work without rest...... A vicious circle is formed.
I thought that the commander above would ask them to try harder, but who expected that the next second's order was to let them retreat to the hall, so as not to let the supernatural escape from the underground immediately.
The pursuers were ordered to retreat.
It is not difficult to prevent the supernatural from escaping from the underground, the strongest thing in this underground cage is the outermost circle, and if you want to leave the underground, you still have to pass through the human elevator.
The members of the martial arts faction stood in the hall, and the civilians who had just crawled out from the bottom of their tables looked at each other.
The latter silently folded the suicide note he had written, put it back in his pocket, and prepared to burn it after today's crisis.
Then sit back in your seat and get back to work.
The work is not finished, and since the fleeing supernatural threat cannot be in the hall, there is no need to worry.
The team members who were called back watched the escaped spirits scurrying underground, and there was always a feeling that it would stir up the spirits in the other cubicles.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What are you waiting here?" I feel like I'm going to let it do anything more......"
His fears were justified, and the civilian staff in charge of keeping an eye on the numbers had seen the numbers begin to rise in several rooms.
Before a new accident happens, one of the elevators leading to the ground is finally taken down.
As soon as the black-haired young man stepped out of the elevator door, he was greeted by a large wave of eyes observing him.
There are those who look at it secretly, and there are those who are watching it brightly.
Bai Su, who had just finished his meal, was in a good mood, and he pursed his lips and smiled at the humans who were looking at him.
When the chaos first started ten minutes ago, he saw the old man smiling at him, ignoring the meaning of the other party smiling at him, Bai Su decisively took advantage of the chaos and ran into the corridor.
The red light flashed and turned, and the white shadow also dodged and twisted.
Anyway, it went well, and he blended into a lot of fragrant cubicles, adding a bit of satiety as soon as he entered and exited.
His buffet was eaten until a human came looking for him.
So Bai Su abandoned the underground part in a corner that no one patronized, and then the body on the ground woke up.
He was lying in a hospital bed, and above his head were machines that were too complex for humans to know what to do.
The doctor who called out to him saw that he had woken up from his "sleep", and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Mr. Bai, you are really big." β
Although I have been nervous for a while, I should have been nervous, but it was still a little ...... to fall asleep directly during the examination
Bai Su left the machine with a flat face, and the doctor shrugged: "It seems that there is no abnormal situation in that branch...... A more detailed report back to your phone. β
The black-haired young man nodded clearly, and was just about to leave the place where the inspection was done, when someone from outside hurriedly barged in.
"Bai Suβare you there?" The man who pushed the door in was panting, his face was still a little anxious, as soon as he saw Bai Su standing there, he wanted to arrest someone, "Quick, there is something you need to ......"
Bai Su stepped back, dodging the man's hand.
As soon as the man caught it, he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that Bai Su didn't like to contact people.
He hurriedly said a second time: "There are some things that need your help, please come with me." β
Seeing that Bai Su still didn't react, the man continued to add: "Wait a minute, your boss will send you a message, we have a good procedure for borrowing people!" β
β¦β¦ It's not because of this, Bai Su glanced at the man, and then looked at the floor under his feet.
Humans are looking for him so fast.
He thought about it...... It's only been thirteen minutes, right?
Once again, he felt that his decision to stuff a wooden Buddha fragment into his brain was quite right, and Bai Su tilted his head outward: "Let's go." β
After that, he took the elevator to the underground scene, and the person who led the way helped him swipe the card and left, and he came down alone.
After smiling at the human, Bai Su pulled out the hand in his pocket: "Where are you going?" β
He'd seen this process once, and the last time he was live at home, a human called him out and sent a car to pick him up.
All he had to do was ...... Find the target and judge whether it tastes good or not.
He tried to swallow the delicious food, and threw the undelicious food to humans for disposal.
By the way, the flower branches that grew on humans that day tasted good, of course, worse than the taste of the wooden Buddha.
After Bai Su asked, a member of the team who received the instruction quickly pointed him in a direction, and also thoughtfully sent a headset for communication.
Bai Su didn't need it, he still accepted it.
He remembered the supernatural smell when he ate the buffet, and now he can feel it even when he stands in the hall.
"Mr. Bai, right?" The leader shouted, "I'll tell you about that supernatural information. β
The leader looked at the black-haired youth in front of him as he spoke.
He is not tall among the tall people, and the muscles on his arms are not strong, and he looks thin and weak.
And judging by physiognomy...... It's pretty harmless.
The leader, who had heard a little about some rumors, was still a little uneasy: "Mr. Bai, can you be alone?" β
Even if it says that this person is 100% immune to mental attacks, this is really not very capable of fighting, right? What if that supernatural outbreak starts?
Bai Su, who was asked, made an OK gesture, and before entering the passage on one side, he yawned sleepily, and the whole person was relaxed.
Should he be nervous? Bai Su thought about it, and finally gave up this idea because it was too troublesome.
The sound of clackling footsteps echoed in the hallway where only the red light kept running.
