"So how did he get to the eighth floor of the building next door?"

"I don't know, even if Brother Xia asks me, I don't know!"

“？ Aren't you the first discoverer? ”

"Yes, I am, and so is Brother Bai...... Come on, Brother Bai, you can say a few words too! ”

The black-haired young man, who was being watched by two eyes at the same time, stopped entertaining himself with "himself", turned his head innocently, raised the paw of the white dog in his arms, and beckoned to the human.

His doppelganger was very cooperative, and he barked twice, showing his true colors as a pet dog.

The white dog has been taken to the bathroom by the white dog to wipe his hair, although the white dog is still covered with a layer of dust, but it is not as dirty as before.

After waving the white dog's paw twice, and finding that he couldn't confuse humans with his doppelganger, Bai Su sat up straight.

He took the white dog in his arms and muttered for a moment: "If you want to ask me, I don't know." ”

The black-haired young man told truthfully: "To be precise, I walked up while looking for a dog, and if you ask Gao Tianyi, you can also know that I went to that corner on every floor...... Well? Why look for a dog...... Because I have a soul in my heart, I always think that if I find it, I can have some surprise. ”

As it turned out, it was a surprise, and they also found the round-faced boy who disappeared from the ward by the way.

"And the first discoverer...... Or the first discoverer, technically speaking, isn't it us at all. Bai Su said, and then put the curly dog in his hand on the table, "Do any of you have the ability to communicate with animals?" It's better to ask about it. ”

When Bai Su arrived with the human boy, everything had already settled.

There were people with similar abilities in the human side, and despite the fact that the human who had been called insisted that he could only understand the words of birds, the special department decided to give him a try.

So, a man and a dog stared at the vacated doctor's office...... The eyes were blocked by curly hair, the latter squealed a few words, and the former fell into deep thought.

The human who was called turned red and tried very hard to understand, but the dog language is not the same as the bird language, and even the white dog is not an ordinary dog, and humans can't interpret it.

"I'm sorry, I tried my best! I don't understand Senior Xia! ”

The humans who were called out were sent out with sad faces, and now the problems in the office are back to square one - who knows what happened?

Xia Chengyin, who normally came to the hospital to take over, rubbed his forehead: "Let's start from the beginning, Gao Tianyi, you say it first." ”

The minor high school student who was named started talking directly from last night, saying that he was rushed to bed by a nurse in the early morning, and when he woke up and heard a noise, he realized that his classmate had disappeared from the ward.

The time when the nurse found out that the person was missing was the time of the fixed-point round, and it was not much earlier than Gao Tianyi woke up.

The back is to check the ward where the round-faced boy lives, and you can see the marks that someone has been lying on the hospital bed, but there is no temperature to the touch, indicating that the person has been away from the bed for at least half an hour.

Doors that have never been opened, floors that have no footprints, windows that open to the largest corners, and exterior walls that have shallow marks...... Many of the clues point to a possibility - the person in the ward left through the window.

Xia Chengyin: "Then let's think so first, and then what?" ”

Gao Tianyi: "Then in addition to the people left behind, other medical staff and members of your department began to search for people, and I also followed, and when I went downstairs, I bumped into Brother Bai." ”

As he spoke, the eyes of both humans looked at Bai Su.

One is for the sake of making it easier to tell, and the other person's eyes are very straightforward to express the meaning of "why are you here again".

Why can't he be here?

Bai Su smiled wryly at the man and touched the fur of the white dog he had placed on the table.

The soft hair sweeps through the body, and with a little force, you can touch the uneven body underneath.

The inch-headed police officer seemed to have received a provocation, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bai Su, are you coming to the hospital?" ”

Bai Su stretched out his hand and raised the white dog: "Look for the dog." ”

Xia Chengyin listened, and his speechless expression was overflowing.

After nearly ten seconds of silence, he struggled to speak: "Then how did your dog get to the hospital?" ”

Bai Su said with the idea of answering randomly if he didn't know: "I don't know, next time I upgrade its equipment and change the collar to be able to take pictures, I guess I will be able to answer Officer Xia." ”

The black-haired young man nodded pointedly at the black ring under the pet's neck, and the leather goods became a little skinny and warped, and it looked like it needed to be replaced.

The inch-headed police officer stared at the so-called locator collar that guided them to the missing patient, and reluctantly swallowed the words back from his mouth.

While humans are skeptical of the claim that the positioning collar leads them to find someone, for now, it's true.

"After that, the two of you acted together, and after exploring the two-story ward, when you were about to go to the fifth floor, Bai Su suggested that you go to the next building to check?"

Xia Chengyin summarized and repeated, he didn't go to the next building to investigate why he went to the next building first, and after asking, he probably could only get a reply of "looking for a dog".

"Didn't anyone go to the next building before?"

"There are not enough people, according to the speed, they should still be on the third floor, and Brother Bai and I are from the fifth floor."

Said to be checking, but in fact only ran to one location, but Gao Tianyi also ran along, recalling that he didn't remember to go to other rooms at all, and the young man could only comment on his own ghostly mind.

All the doubts about the "why" are put aside for a moment, and humanity quickly turns to the more important point of the moment.

Only Bai Su can judge one point.

The inch-headed police officer held two photos in his hand, taken from the same angle, and the people in the photos were lying on the hospital bed with their eyes closed, looking as if they were asleep.

Xia Chengyin couldn't see the difference, all aspects of the examination were underway, and there were no results for the time being.

That is, the only thing that can be answered now is...... Baisu.

The brunette youth sat across the table, absentmindedly petting the cat.

The vacated doctor's office is not large, with two desks in front and one behind, and a long table in the middle, so that the three of them can face each other and not sit apart.

"Bai Su, in your opinion, ...... that young man is now?"

It's only been a day since the special department got the clues of the doppelganger in the forum to the start of the investigation, and even if I worked overtime, I didn't come to a conclusion so quickly.

The asked, Bai Su reflected on the scent of the boy who had slumped on the ground earlier, and gave the humans an answer they didn't really want.

"It's not human." Bai Su said, "It's a bit like the hostess I visited and saw yesterday. ”

Why do you say a little? Because there is still a difference in taste, today this is ...... Why does it smell a little alcoholic?

Bai Su knows very little about the varieties of human wine, and it is impossible to ask the specific category just by smelling the smell.

Xia Chengyin listened to the answer and fell into a long speechlessness.

The underage high school student next to him had long since fallen on the table and had not moved, and he only raised his head after no one spoke.

The young man's forehead was pressed by the folds of the sleeves of the school uniform, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What about it...... My real classmates ......"

Bai Su said in annoyance: "Then it depends on whether you can find it in the hospital, right?" ”

Although he already knew the answer.

The round-faced boy who was a human could not be found in the hospital.

……

Human emotions are complex.

The monster never understood this.

Like he couldn't figure out why a human teenager would have a ...... right now. I feel sad that I can only be called a friend of my classmates.

Their relationship is not close, and after getting rid of the relationship between classmates, their hobbies are not the same, and they may not have much communication on weekdays.

So, why do humans feel sad?

Bai Su stood outside the door of the ward.

The round-faced boy he judged to be inhuman had been transferred to a hospital room and remained in the hospital, but the level of security had doubled.

After all, it was the first case to stay in the hospital, and it was much better than the residents scattered in the city outside, especially the parents of the round-faced boy were not in the city.

The special department decided to hide the true situation of the round-faced boy almost instantly, otherwise he would not be able to tell his parents now that your son has been greatly transformed into a living person.

This will cause people to be frightened, and they will have to pay someone to erase their memories afterwards.

The round-faced boy was the first case to appear in the hospital, and if you can't think of a solution, there must be many more cases, and there are so many people who have the same symptoms as the round-faced boy.

Bai Su looked at the busy human doctors and researchers—at this point, it was not something that ordinary doctors could handle—and he turned his head to look at the young man beside him with an unclear expression.

The black-haired youth asked with some curiosity, "Are you sad...... It seems to be a little angry. "Why?

He hadn't pronounced the last three words, but the human boy could discern his tone from his previous words.

"That's no way, Brother Bai." Will be sad and angry or something, Gao Tianyi pursed his lips, "That's my classmate." ”

"(Just) classmates." Bai Su repeated, the first two words so light that only he could hear them.

The young man seemed to be emotionally aroused, rubbed his hair twice in irritation, and said more: "I found out that something was wrong with him...... He was also taken to the hospital, but now he ......."

Gao Tianyi stopped some of the faults on himself, and he felt that it was his negligence when he went to sleep last night that caused his classmate's accident.

If he didn't sleep, wouldn't his classmates be—

The jumbled thoughts came to mind at once, and the minor gradually became anxious, and he raised his hand and bit the nail of his thumb with his teeth.

What are you thinking? What are humans thinking?

Young people's emotions are more exposed than adults, even if Gao Tianyi's identity is different, he is still an underage child standing outside the door of the ward at this time.

A genius, but a child.

The human boy felt sorry for himself for a while, probably because his brain finally calmed down, and Gao Tianyi felt that he couldn't be so decadent anymore.

As a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest who can be pushed out by the elders in the Taoist temple and named in a special department, Gao Tianyi has many small means.

He had just suffered an emotional shock and had a brain short-circuit, and now that he was back to his senses, he felt like he was supposed to do something.

Thinking so, the young man put down his hand, his thumb nails were bitten by himself, and he probably had to find someone to borrow a nail clipper to repair it.

"That Brother Bai, I'm going to go later-" As soon as the young man turned his head, the follow-up words were stuck, and after a few seconds, he regained the ability to speak, "Bai, Brother Bai?" ”

The black-haired youth was very close to the person, as if he had been getting closer to the human boy in front of him during his contemplation, and now the human boy turned in the same direction and almost collided with the tip of the other man's nose.

Under the snort, there was not the slightest rise and fall.

Strangely, he was completely unaware of Bai Su's approach.

When did you come over? Was there a while? Why didn't he feel Bai Su's breath at all?

A pair of dark eyes that did not see the light stared at the human, and after appreciating the human's reaction to his own shrinking, Bai Su straightened up and pulled away.

"I just saw that your expression was a little strange, and I couldn't help but take a closer look." Bai Su made up two sentences for his actions, "What did you want to say just now?" ”

"Oh......" The young man turned the page quickly, guessing that it was a prank of an adult holding his breath, "I said I was going to find my classmates." ”

Seeing that Bai Su was still looking at him, Gao Tianyi gestured casually: "I still have my classmate's hair on my hands, I should be able to ...... with a little means."

The junior high school student did as he spoke, and took out the props from the large pockets of his school uniform and coat.

How many human beings have a little special means of storage on their bodies, how can such a large compass not be able to make a mark in their arms?

Gao Tianyi held a compass in one hand and a handful of hair in the other, babbling in his mouth.

Bai Su didn't care about what the human boy was thinking specifically, he could write it down but couldn't use it, and he should still need the medium of the compass.

The pointer on the compass rotates back and forth like a locator, and as the voice grows louder, the pointer turns slower and slower, and finally stops.

Gao Tianyi looked at the direction of the pointer and was eerily silent.

Bai Su looked over and saw the ward with the pointer pointing forward.

Wow, it's pointing to the ward in front of you.

Before Bai Su could speak, the human boy quickly snatched the words: "Ha...... Maybe I mispronounced the word, but the hair is still there, let me try again. ”

It was still the previous operation, and it was still a long string of hot words, and this time the pointer turned for a long time, and finally headed towards the corner where there was no result.

"Haha...... I'll try again, if it doesn't work, there will be blood. ”

The blood was asked for by the hospital before, and it is not a problem to draw blood and occasionally draw an extra tube.

However, no matter how many times Gao Tianyi tried, his compass only gave him two results, either pointing to the ward in front of him, that is, the inhuman person who was now lying on the hospital bed, or there was no result.

There are too many times, and human teenagers can't laugh anymore.

No matter how optimistic a person is, it is difficult to face so many failures, Gao Tianyi was a little hit, his mouth opened and closed, and his fingers picked at the edge of the compass.

Bai Su witnessed the human race from trying to being ready to give up, and it was only ten minutes before and after.

He thought about it, squatted down and hugged the white dog who had been in a daze at his feet: "Do you want to try it?" ”

Looking at Gao Tianyi's somewhat blank eyes, Bai Su added: "The dog's nose smells the smell and looks for things, maybe you can find it." ”

How can humanity not look for answers? He was the only one...... If a monster knows the answer, it's too lonely.
