v1 Chapter 57: Source of infection

The picture on the screen is still, and the man is showing a smiling face towards the camera lens in the magnified picture.

For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to have become a little dignified.

"Are you sure this is a real image?" Dr. Hines said, "Video images can be synthesized, and the image information is not necessarily..."

"If it is a composite video and we can distinguish it, I can guarantee that the pictures you see are all true." Professor Miyazaki said, "The facts are just like what you see.

Detective Luo appeared on the surveillance screen. He had been to the Fourth Branch of the Jiangdu Public Security Bureau earlier tonight, and left this provocative scene that had to be thought-provoking.

Just later today, an infected person appeared in the fourth branch. "

"Indeed...it's hard to call it a coincidence." Dr. Hines frowned.

"Agent Luo, I remember it was during the suspension period?"

This time it was a man with a fierce face who spoke. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but even in the conference room he wore a black mask with a few steel nails on it, which made his style of painting a bit weird.

Minister of Operations, Hercules.

"Yes, because of unauthorized actions, an attack was launched on a casino under the jurisdiction of a mafia gang, and a fatal blow was carried out on gang members who were not infected."

This time it was Chen Meiyue who spoke. She was originally just observing the whole process, but the topic involved her direct subordinates, so she came forward to explain.

"I heard that this is not the first time?"

Minister Hercules looked at her, the steel nail mask made his eyes look fierce.

This is indeed true. Luo Yajun has a history of ignoring discipline and disobeying orders many times, and it is not the first time that he has been punished for aggressive actions during missions.

Chen Meiyue thought for a while, and said lightly: "He is a person who hates evil, and sometimes uses tough methods when dealing with extremists."

"I believe what you want to say may be disorganized and undisciplined." Minister Hercules said, pausing, "However, the issue of discipline is not the focus of today. What we care about is his mental issue."

"That's exactly what I want to say about that, too."

Professor Miyazaki spoke.

"I have always been very interested in the situation of Agent Luo as a special person, even among all the agents in the Nine Offices, his performance is rare.

As Team Chen said, Detective Luo is a person who hates evil, and this has something to do with his past experience.

That's good news for a Secret Service agent, but it's not necessarily all good. There should be a limit to everything, beyond which it becomes dangerous.

This is especially true for Secret Service agents. The agents we need most should have a sufficiently high degree of infection and strong mobility, and at the same time have a stable personal mood, so that it is not easy to lose control.

And Agent Luo's situation obviously doesn't satisfy the latter... Of course, this may be because he doesn't take the rules too seriously.

He doesn't care about punishment, he doesn't care about consequences, and punishing crimes and punishing criminals is his way of obtaining self-satisfaction. "

Professor Miyazaki paused at this point. He temporarily cut out the magnified monitoring screen on the screen, and replaced it with the summary of the infection incidents in various places in Jiangdu that he had sorted out tonight.

"As you can see, the incidents of infected people that broke out tonight have something in common." He said, "First of all, the pier. The two detectives we arrived at first inspected the scene and restored the original appearance of the incident.

It should be a group of human traffickers unloading goods at the pier. One of them suddenly ran away and became an infected person, attacked other accomplices around him, and finally blew himself up because the degree of infection exceeded the upper limit of physical endurance. "

Professor Miyazaki pressed the remote control, and the screen automatically turned to the next page.

"The fourth branch is the branch where Detective Luo once worked. According to the information we know, we know that a small number of security officers in this branch also have shady inside stories."

The people in the conference room seemed to be gradually following his train of thought.

"There was also a barbecue restaurant accident. A laughing infected person suddenly attacked the gang members, causing multiple casualties among the gang members. The owner of the barbecue restaurant and two diners were seriously injured, and another person was slightly injured.

If Batman hadn't arrived in time, the situation could have been much worse..."

"You want to say that most of the targets of the infected are evil?" Dr. Hines asked tentatively.

Professor Miyazaki nodded: "There are many other incidents, so I won't list them here, but these are enough to demonstrate the point I want to make.

In these incidents, although the infected may hurt innocent people after they go berserk, most of the targets of each infected person when they first go berserk are criminals.

One or two individual incidents may be an exception, but if you continue to look at other cases, you can also see that all infection incidents conform to this commonality.

So at this point, I think everyone should have guessed the hypothesis I am going to put forward. "

"You want to say that the Luo Yajun agent of our Secret Service Nine may have become an infected person~lightnovelpub.net~ Minister Hercules said in a hoarse voice, "He is using his... .”

He paused and thought about it, as if looking for the right words to describe it.

"...infect others with your own 'sense of justice'?"

"Yes, it can be said that way." Professor Miyazaki said, "Agent Luo Yajun is an unusual person who is not very stable, and his psychological evaluation report has always been 'relatively safe but needs to be observed'.

In addition, the behavior of the infected in this series of accidents and the chosen targets—if the innocent people affected during the out-of-control of the infected are excluded—are also relatively in line with the consistent performance of Agent Luo.

So to sum it all up..."

"The probability of him being the source of infection is not low." Good Minister Hercules tapped the table with his knuckles.

In addition to the ability of the absolutely specific person to be completely immune to infection, the specific person is not absolutely immune. Species are immune to the influence of the source of infection in most cases, but if they exceed the upper limit of their mental endurance, they also have the risk of becoming infected.

This is why the Nine Specialists need to undergo regular psychological evaluations.

"No."

Professor Miyazaki interrupted him and glanced at everyone present with very serious eyes. He pressed the remote control, turned off the files organized on the screen, and the screen returned to the previous surveillance camera.

In the picture, Luo Yajun is grinning in the direction of the camera, as if mocking everyone on the other side of the camera.

"What I want to say is that he may be more than just 'a source of infection.' Maybe he is the 'that source of infection' we have been looking for."

Professor Miyazaki said solemnly.

"Maybe he's the source of that maniacal laugh."
