Chapter 160 Returning to the White Night Guild (Is it a disaster?)
The patients' cries continued. The scene became chaotic as more and more people gathered. The security guards heard the noise and rushed over to maintain order.
Xinyi frowned. She subconsciously avoided Lu Qingyuan's gaze and looked back the next second: "Why are you here? And why are you making such a big noise?"
"It's unfair. I just stopped by to take a look. Of course I'm interested in such a big thing."
The algae green woman raised her hands innocently, with a look of wanting to cry but no tears: "Who knew that before I even entered the door, I would make eye contact with someone, and the next second, the scream almost pierced my eardrum, it scared me to death..."
The trio also pushed through the crowd and came forward.
Si Yu'an stroked his chin and looked at Lu Qingyuan: "Sister Qingyuan, maybe there is something about you or your appearance that irritated them."
"Anyway..." Lin Muyu pointed to a corner, "Don't stand here for now. Stay away from the patient's sight."
That makes sense. We can’t let the patient’s throat explode before he recovers.
The crowd around dispersed, leaving only vague glances looking in this direction. The five people moved to the corner and closed the door of the ward.
Ye Yunhe opened his listless eyes and looked at Lu Qingyuan's natural expression. The helplessness and bewilderment on the other's face were real, and he obviously didn't understand how the situation had turned out this way.
The top leaders are very concerned about this group of missing persons. The matter has become quite a big deal and I'm sure Lu Qingyuan will be arrested and questioned soon. She has been in the government for two years and has good relations with most people, so she shouldn't be subjected to too much trouble... It's really an unprovoked disaster.
Nothing should happen. Maybe it's an opportunity to get clues from the patient.
But an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness suddenly spread, making people feel uneasy. Ye Yunhe covered his chest.
The people who invited Lu Qingyuan came very quickly. In the current situation, everyone was extremely wary of the word "dark nest", but the algae green woman seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing this, she just shook her head helplessly and followed those people.
Before leaving, he made a "yeah" gesture to the four people and waved to the others: "I didn't expect this to happen... Anyway, let's get together again after I'm done! I just bought some new snacks and wanted to share them with you."
The trio nodded and watched her go. Ye Yunhe paused and realized that the girl next to him, who should have responded with a smile, was unusually quiet. It was obvious that she had the best relationship with Lu Qingyuan, but she remained silent. No wonder she looked a little strange before leaving.
"Xinyi, what's wrong?" That feeling of uneasiness appeared again.
The girl who seemed to be distracted came back to her senses: "Ah, nothing."
"I have to go adjust the potion. Remember to pick it up next week."
She didn't seem to be in the mood to continue chatting, so she just curled her lips perfunctorily, waved her hand, and walked in another direction.
He walked in a hurry, not even giving the three people a chance to answer.
Si Yu'an, who hadn't spoken yet, was stunned and looked at each other with his companions.
The atmosphere was indeed weird, and it wasn't an illusion.
——
Because Lu Qingyuan was very popular, people did not take this matter seriously. What people say when they have a mental breakdown often cannot be considered as ironclad evidence. Even the trio did not think much about it after a brief surprise, and just continued to head to the training ground to start the afternoon's high-intensity training.
Then he returned to the dormitory late at night. His abilities have improved a lot after this additional training, with both capacity and strength making a qualitative leap.
The three of them fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed, and stayed in a daze until dawn accompanied by unpleasant dreams. It was not yet time to get up, but the mobile phone that they had forgotten to silence sounded an urgent death alarm again - it was a bombardment of messages from large and various small groups.
Ye Yunhe frowned and struggled to open his eyes, his face full of irritability from having his sleep disturbed. She fiercely picked up the phone and glanced at it with a dazed look.
…
She suddenly woke up.
"Colleague A: Do you have any news? What's going on? Why hasn't Sister Qingyuan come out yet and hasn't responded to any messages..."
"Colleague B: I don't know, but the situation doesn't seem good."
"Colleague C: I heard that he was taken to the westernmost building."
"Colleague A:?? Is this true? No way, is there really something wrong with Sister Qing Yuan??"
"Colleague D: It seems that it was Chief Xiaozhe who proposed it. The ward has also been isolated by the relevant personnel. The crazy patients have calmed down and been questioned... It seems that Lu Qingyuan is really related to the Dark Nest."
「Colleague B: ……」
"Colleague A: That's not necessarily true. Sister Qing Yuan is such a nice person. I won't believe these rumors before the official notification."
“Colleague C: Indeed, but if someone is really locked up there, they probably won’t be that innocent. I didn’t think much of it at first, but now I suddenly realize that “two years” is really ambiguous.”
…
Lu Qingyuan was taken to the west building?
Ye Yunhe sat up suddenly, pushed his hair that was in the way back, and looked through all the groups with a cold face.
There was no movement in the large group, and everything seemed peaceful and tranquil. The small group has gone crazy, with most people expressing disbelief and making some self-conjectural interpretations.
Someone said: They saw with their own eyes that Lu Qingyuan was surrounded by a group of people and walked into the building. She lowered her head and had an unknown expression on her face. Her hands and feet were still free. Following beside him was Commander Xiaozhe, who was walking with his hands in his pockets, expressionless.
The west building is a separate and isolated building, which is also the area used by the government to detain dangerous people with special abilities. A special formation has been set up to weaken the strength of the people inside. Simply put, it is a cell, but it is only for people with special abilities.
Lu Qingyuan was actually taken to that kind of place? What does this mean? Could it be that what those patients said was right, and the real stimulus was Lu Qingyuan himself, not some similar object?
Ye Yunhe began to doubt his intuition and ability to judge people.
Another ring. She looked down.
"Go to hell, Black Mist: Xiaoye, have you seen the message in the group? If you have, come to the dormitory and gather immediately!"
“Go to hell, Kuroki: What is going on? (Crayon Puppy Crying.jpg)”
It seems that there are two more who are not muted. Ye Yunhe threw off the quilt, washed his face casually, put on his coat and went out.
——
At the same time on the other side.
President Bai Ye, who has not been seen for a long time, is scratching his head over the "predator incident".
There seem to be a lot of things happening recently, and people are seeing stars. It's like the turbulent sea has finally revealed its true nature and started to send up waves one after another, and in the end a tsunami will kill everyone on the shore.
As usual, Lin Du sent the information about the copy to someone, and continued to think about countermeasures with a serious face - the place where the third psychic whose superpowers were plundered was very close to the White Night Guild. The government sent him a message a few days ago, hoping that he could send someone to investigate to save time.
The investigation did not reveal anything. The murderer's actions were swift and traceless, and it was the most rigorous counter-reconnaissance, leaving no clues at the scene. Even the nearby residents were clueless when asked. It looked like they really didn't know anything, but also didn't want to say anything at all.
Perhaps the man who robbed the person with super powers is actually a very good guy in the eyes of the residents, so that they no longer have to live in fear of the person with super powers after being bullied. Lin Du felt a little distressed when he thought of this, and silently expanded the protected area, trying to get the residents to move closer.
His eyes were tired, so he took off his glasses, rubbed his nose, closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Since this is the last victim so far, the murderer may not be far away. If we think worse, he may already be looking for a new target."
He pondered: "From his behavior, he seems to be a heroic person. Could it be that..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Du was startled when his mumbling was suddenly interrupted, and looked up in the direction of the voice in shock. He only saw a blurry figure and hurriedly put his glasses back on.
The figure became clearer. The young man who had not been seen for a long time was sitting on the sofa. It was unknown how long he had been sitting there. He just looked at Lin Du with a smile, and waved happily when he saw people looking at him.
"Daytime?!"
Lin Du, who looked like a working animal, exclaimed. He stared, and after confirming that the door was tightly closed and soundproofed, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Why did you come here so suddenly without even saying hello?"
"You are so polite." He glanced at the young man's hand speechlessly, "You just opened the new pastry you bought for me... Is it delicious? Why didn't I hear you unpacking it?"
Bai Zhou smiled and said, "It tastes good. Just give me the whole box. I just lost too much blood and need to replenish it urgently."
"This box doesn't have the effect of replenishing blood... You look energetic." Lin Du sat down and looked up and down at the young man, his eyes paused on the other's changed clothing.
It’s not that fixed outfit? He raised his eyebrows. Wasn't this person wearing the same black windbreaker every time they met? He thought that this was Bai Zhou's aesthetic. For example, a whole wardrobe is filled with the same trench coat.
"What are you looking at?" The man being stared at had a calm expression, and even lifted the hem of his windbreaker when seeing this, "It's normal to change into new clothes at a new stage."
Lin Du nodded, but did not express much appreciation for his partner's new skin. After all, he still had a lot of work to do, and he had nothing in common with the unemployed vagrant who looked like he had nothing to do.
But since Bai Zhou came here inexplicably, he should also observe the corresponding etiquette of hospitality, so Lin Du put the documents on the table and continued to read them on the sofa.
Bai Zhou, who was standing opposite, obviously wasn't here to see this. The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this how Bai Ye entertains guests? He doesn't even serve tea and just ignores people."
It's not very polite to come uninvited, right? Lin Du secretly complained and quickly poured a cup of warm tea and pushed it over.
I stayed quiet during the day and enjoyed my tea.
His eyes fell on the report that Lin Du was holding up. He stared at it quietly for a moment, tracing the vague black mark on the back of the paper.
"You're thinking about the Marauders?" he asked.
"Yeah, you do know that." Lin Du sighed, "I'm worried about what to do if that psychic is still around. Although it seems that he only picks people with bad behavior, it's really risky to just define it this way."
"Besides, even if those people did something wrong, it's not for him to judge. If the victim hadn't been found, he might have died there."
At this point, he perked up and raised his head to ask Bai Zhou, who kept his eyes downcast and said nothing: "Could it be that you are here just to ask about this matter? Is there any information I don't know, or do you want to help?"
Bai Ri also raised his eyes and looked at him quietly for a moment. That expression seemed to be neither a smile nor a smile, which inexplicably made Lin Du's back shudder and gave him some ominous premonition.
"Indeed, let's mix half and half of both." After an unknown silence, the young man smiled and nodded.
"… Really? Tell me about it."
Having said that, Lin Du actually didn't want to listen. His face froze. He always felt that what the other party would say in the next second would be words he couldn't accept. He could feel this premonition from Bai Zhou's expression.
So the office worker lowered his head and continued to look through the documents that were sent to him. The smell of paper and ink effectively soothed his numb scalp.
But he couldn't stop the other person's bland words.
"Because I am the culprit of the looters incident."
Lin Du raised his head stiffly: "What?"
"I did it." Bai Zhou repeated, his tone drawn out and light, as if he was worried that he couldn't hear clearly, "I am the culprit of all three incidents."
“…”
Just say things that make people want to die.
Lin Du took a breath, pushed up his glasses which had been sliding down, and the report fell lightly to the ground without support, but he was in no mood to pick it up. The emotions that were completely blown away were screaming, causing the person's head to feel dull pain again and again.
There was a long moment of dead silence. Bai Zhou was smiling, with an innocent look on her beautiful face, as if she didn't know what shocking news she was saying.
…
How could he not know? !
