Chapter 5 Knowing

LSY Street Police Station, xJ City. The plaque at the door reads: A terrified Andy is sitting at a table with a frightened face, and opposite him are two serious young police officers with a desire to know.

This is the transcription room.

"Gollum...," a sweaty Andy felt like his head was full of mush, so he was silent for five minutes after the two police officers signaled that he could start telling the story.

The two fists were clenched tightly on the table, Andy's forehead was wet with sweat, and the posture of those hands meant that he was quite uneasy at this time, but if he still didn't say a word like this, no one could figure out what had happened to him, although the two policemen knew that a person who fled into the police station must have been scared half to death by something terrible.

"Ahem, Mr. An, do you still need a little time to calm down alone?" After waiting for another 5 minutes, police officer A, who was a little impatient, buckled the cap of the pen and turned it flexibly twice in his hand.

Andy's eyes wandered left and right for a moment, and finally he opened his mouth and began to speak.

"I.... What I'm going to say next is bizarre, really bizarre, but.... But you must believe in me, you must help me, comrade policeman! Policeman B put his hat on the table and comforted him perfunctorily.

"Ah, don't worry, Mr. An, this is the responsibility of our police, no matter how bizarre what you say, we will listen carefully and make a record, please believe in our professionalism, yawn....." He yawned involuntarily halfway through speaking.

"Mother's chicken, I'm going to be on duty every day to boil people to death, I'm really cao...."Police officer B rubbed his eyes with dark circles and muttered a few words in a low voice, looking drowsy.

Andy opened his mouth and chose to tell police officer A, who was in better shape, what happened to him.

"Before me.... It looks like someone kidnapped. Police officer A took out the cap of his pen with a serious expression and began to write a note, and continued to ask questions in a calm tone while writing, and the strange handwriting was written under his hand, casually like the traces of spiders and other insects crawling, and it made people wonder if he could see what he had written.

"Mr. An, do you remember what physical characteristics your kidnapper had? How did he kidnap you? How did you escape? Andy struggled to recall his past memories, but those memories seemed to be as hard to touch as a veil, untouchable and invisible.

"She... It was a woman, very tall, with red hair... I don't know if it's dyed, because I don't know if she's a foreigner or not. Taller than me.... It should be healthy, and there are muscles in the body...."Police officer A began to write in his notebook.

"Hmm... Okay, and then, did you see her face, Mr. Ann? If you see it, be sure to remember it carefully and tell us all the details. Andy struggled to recall that terrible face, and couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.

Police officer A and police officer B looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders, wondering how terrifying this would be, and even thinking about it would startle you.

"The woman's face.... It is.... At first glance, it looks like an ordinary woman's face, but if you look at it for a longer time, you will find that the face hardly looks like a human face, she looks like... She looked like something that looked like a human but wasn't human, as if it was.... It seems...", Andy stopped again, as if he had found that he lacked words to describe the matter.

Police officer A poked his hair with the barrel of his pen and answered two sentences a little indifferently.

"Like a humanoid doll? Like wearing some kind of humanoid mask? Like ..... Robot? Andy stood up excitedly.

"That's right! It's a robot! Police officer A and police officer B were startled and asked Andy to sit down.

"You relax a little Mr. An, please sit down, you don't need such a big emotion now, you are already in a safe place, no one will kidnap you anymore... Well, all in all, this person looks a little weird, doesn't it? Does the face look stiff? Or is her facial features a little different from a normal person's? I don't know, Mr. An, do you know the uncanny valley theory? .... That's the one .... That is to say, people do not feel too scared when they see something of the same kind and completely different from their own, because the brain can easily distinguish the nature of this thing. But when you see someone who looks like a person but is different in some detail, like a person wearing some kind of strange mask or something, you feel very scared from the bottom of your heart, because your brain thinks that this thing in front of you is an unknown object that cannot be judged..."Andy covered his face and recalled for a moment, convinced that the woman was not wearing a mask.

"She's not... She didn't wear a mask, I should be able to confirm that, the woman.... It's not just about looks, it's about having weird things all over my body that I can't tell you about. Police officer A signaled that he already knew.

"Okay, let's move on to the next one, Mr. An, how did you get kidnapped at that time?" Andy pondered for a moment, convinced that everything had happened after he fainted from a car accident.

"I was... I was driving home, half an hour away, but I had to go through a few busy, narrow intersections in between, and I remember I was about to... Go to National Highway 108 in the North Ring Road of our xJ city. When policeman A heard this, he looked at policeman B again, but said nothing.

"Please go on, what happened after that?" Andy recalls the inexplicable road fight.

"It's just... I just drove on that road, and soon, ah, soon a white sports car chased after me, and it followed me so closely, how could I keep it from moving, just follow me... I thought that you would be fine, so I started to drive normally. But not long after, just as I was about to merge, the white sports car suddenly overtook me and tried to stop me, which scared me a lot. Police officer A interrupted Andy's description with a sudden remark.

"Let me interrupt you, Mr. Ann, do you remember the license plate number of that car?" Andy was stunned for a second.

“..... The car didn't seem to have a license plate, and it was too fast for me to take a closer look, so I knew it was a white sports car, and I didn't see anything else, and I couldn't see who the driver was because of the film. Police Officer A gestured for Andy to continue.

At this time, police officer B seemed to be interested in the story and was not as distracted as before, so the two police officers listened intently to Andy's account of the crime.

"Hmm.... What I just said.... Oh yes, it was the sports car that didn't want me, and I almost collided with it, but I reacted, so I didn't hit it. I was really angry at the time, but then I thought to myself, forget it, don't play with crazy people, so I slowed down... But when the guy saw me slow down, he slowed down and went back to the back of my car again, almost clinging to my butt and following me. And so on, and the car has been honking since I saw it, and it was very harsh, and the horn never stopped while it was chasing me, so noisy that I now feel the horn in my head, and my brain hurts to death when I hear it. "Police officer A has not stopped recording, and police officer B is a little tired of this lengthy narrative.

"Hey, just tell me the result, whether the sports car drove away or what, but you said you were kidnapped, you stopped with the car after you fought with it... Or was it forced to stop by the car and then got out of the car and then encountered some attack from the other party? Andy wiped the sweat from his head.

"It's just... There wasn't any of those unfolding, and I was supposed to be driving a big truck behind me, and.... All of a sudden, the sports car crashed into my car, and I was hit on the side of the green belt, and then the airbag knocked me unconscious. Police officer B frowned and wondered what was going on.

"Mr. An, tell me your license plate number and vehicle model." Andy complied, and Officer B left for the time being, apparently to inquire.

Police Officer A continues to talk to Andy.

"And then you're unconscious, aren't you? Do you remember what else happened to you in the process? ”
