v1 Chapter 42: please eat

Xu Wenhan immediately called the police, and soon on the same day, security officers came to investigate and inquire.

But when he opened the package again with lingering fear in front of the security guards, what he saw made him almost stop his heart and lungs—

— nothing.

He was very emotional, and told the security officer very firmly that he was absolutely right, there was indeed a hand in the package, and it should have been like this. But the security officer obviously didn't buy it. Before leaving, he warned him that if he reported false alarms next time, he would bring unnecessary trouble to himself.

Xu Wenhan stood on the balcony, watching the security guards driving away in the yard below, feeling a little upset. He turned around and saw Guo Xiaoyun standing at the door of the bedroom, her expression still not very good-looking.

He was about to go up to comfort him, but he suddenly froze.

He realized that the hand he saw in the package...was like his girlfriend's hand.

Xu Wenhan tried his best to tell himself that it was an absurd illusion, trying to convince himself that he was just a little too nervous, but the effect was not very good.

He started getting weirder and weirder. He was in a trance and languid. He used to wish he could be with his girlfriend twenty-four hours a day, but now he feels a sense of relief every minute they're apart.

He can't sleep at night. The feeling of Guo Xiaoyun lying next to him made his hair stand on end. Several times at night, his whole body trembled, as if he could feel the girl next to him staring at him in the dark, with a horrified smile from the corner of his mouth, and the bright red blood smeared At the corners of the mouth it's like a deadly lipstick.

But every time he turned his head in horror, he only saw the girl next to him sleeping peacefully, her breathing was long and regular, and she might be having a good dream.

But he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

It was at that time that Xu Wenhan thought of Dr. Li. He remembered that on the day Guo Xiaoyun was discharged from the hospital, Dr. Li reacted strangely, as if he was hesitating to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end.

At that time, Xu Wenhan was so immersed in the joy of his girlfriend's survival that he didn't pay attention, but after these days his nerves became more and more sensitive, and the strange details came to his mind naturally.

He found an opportunity early the next morning and lied to Guo Xiaoyun that his classmate had something to do with him, but in fact he went straight to the hospital after leaving the apartment.

He wanted to ask Dr. Li what he didn't want to say at the time.

He manages to meet Dr. Lee, who obviously remembers him too. Doctor Li's face changed slightly when he saw him, his eyes signaled him to enter his office, and he closed the door behind his back.

At this time, Xu Wenhan was a little bit overwhelmed, and he asked straight to the point: "Doctor, do you know anything about Yunyun? What's wrong with her?"

Dr. Li nodded solemnly, and his serious eyes made him a little apprehensive. Xu Wenhan was already mentally prepared to hear the worst outcome, but he didn't want Dr. Li to open his mouth, but didn't speak as if he was stuck.

It seemed that after careful consideration, Dr. Li said, "She's fine."

Xu Wenhan suspected that he had heard wrong.

"fine?"

"Yes, she has fully recovered. If there is anything unusual, she may just be weaker. It's okay."

Xu Wenhan felt a little confused. He vaguely sensed something was wrong, the doctor closed the door mysteriously, with a serious look, just to tell him everything was normal?

He realized at once that this was not what the doctor had intended to say.

Only then did he realize that the doctor's eyes were looking in the direction of the door intentionally or unintentionally. He immediately followed that look, and saw a face stuck in the small square window on the office door.

A pale face, but gloomy and low, even he was almost startled to stop breathing the moment he saw it.

Xu Wenhan soon realized that it was Guo Xiaoyun.

He got up and opened the door: "Why are you here?"

"The doctor asked me to come for a re-examination today." She blinked dully and looked at Dr. Li, "Is that right, doctor?"

"Well... yes." Dr. Li nodded, while seeming to avoid her gaze on purpose.

The doctor's reaction sent chills down Xu Wenhan's spine.

So Xu Wenhan temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask, and took her back first. He thought about finding another opportunity tomorrow to get rid of Guo Xiaoyun and find Dr. Li to inquire about the situation.

But when I came to the hospital the next day, I was told that Dr. Li hadn't come to work.

He managed to find out the doctor's address, but when he came to inquire, Dr. Li's family told him that he didn't come back last night.

The doctor is missing.

Xu Wenhan was like falling into an ice cave. An unprecedented sense of fear enveloped him, and he felt as if he had been caught in a huge net, struggling but all in vain.

The next day, another package arrived.

Xu Wenhan opened the package with trembling hands. Even though he was mentally prepared this time, he still couldn't help but exclaimed.

This time it's not a hand, but a leg.

That would have even probably been a nice looking leg. He then thought even more horrified that this leg looked very similar to Guo Xiaoyun's, both in terms of shape and skin.

He was almost going crazy. He didn't dare to touch that thing again, and he didn't dare to stay at home for a second, so he frantically ran to the Public Security Department to report the case again.

It just so happened that the existence of the Ninth Branch of the Secret Service has just been made public, and all departments will directly kick the Ninth Branch of the Secret Service to investigate any incidents involving strange powers and chaos related to suspected infections.

It's just that infection is too abstract for anyone to say for sure. Some cases may indeed have mysterious forces, but others may be ordinary impulsive crimes—after all, some people's impulsive behavior itself is quite abstract.

There are also many common mental illnesses, which are the most difficult to distinguish from infected people, because the behavioral logic is difficult to understand.

These days, the Ninth Branch of the Secret Service has received quite a lot of reports of all kinds, large and small. A few of them are low-threatening infection incidents, and most of the others are either ordinary crimes or misunderstandings such as treating phosphorus as a will-o-the-wisp~lightnovelpub.net~ So Secret Service Nine took the ball, turned around and arranged The two nearest special agents are in charge of investigating the details.

That is Chu Cheng and Senior Brother Felix.

To be honest, after reading these, Chu Cheng also felt a little chills down his spine. Although the truth of the matter remains to be investigated by them, but even if the story is made up, it sounds a bit intrusive.

But in any case, it's better to exchange opinions with the senior brother first. It is estimated that the brother invited him to dinner for this purpose, to discuss the case with each other and finalize the follow-up investigation plan.

So Chu Cheng arrived at the designated restaurant ten minutes early. The waiter in a tuxedo at the door asked his name, and then politely led him to an elegant private room with luxurious decoration.

While sitting down in the seat, Chu Cheng sighed in his heart that the feeling of eating a big family is different.

He waited and waited...

After half an hour passed, the senior brother was still nowhere to be seen.

Can't dove?

 …

At the same time, the other side of the city is speeding in a blue supercar.

While driving the car, the blond maid in maid attire glanced at Felix who was sitting in the back row suspiciously.

"Didn't you treat your colleagues to dinner tonight?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah." Felix crossed his legs and said while flipping through the documents, "Don't uncle like nagging all day long to pay attention to building a good relationship with colleagues in the Secret Service and communicating more? Invite new colleagues to dinner tonight."

"Then...won't you go there?" the maid asked cautiously.

"In the past?" Felix showed a strange expression, "He has already been invited, what else should I do?"

Maid: "..."
