Weird Invasion 17 "Sorry, I'm late."...
"Zhu Mingyu, 36 years old, was born in an orphanage. She was adopted by Zhu Jiasen at the age of ten and received higher education. At 19, she married Gao Peng, a 43-year-old director of the Jinjiang Group, becoming his third wife. They have no children."
"Five years later, Jinjiang Group was embroiled in financial fraud and allegations of serious illegal activity by several executives. Its stock price plummeted, and Gao Peng, mired in hundreds of millions in debt, committed suicide by jumping off a building. Zhu Mingyu fled the country with considerable assets and two years later married Zhou Wei, a senior executive at GT Group in H country. She raised her two sons, both of whom are Zhou Wei's."
"GT owns businesses in electronics, chemicals, and communications. The Zhou family has consistently run as a third-party and independent candidate in presidential elections, but their chances of winning are slim, and they've always been a runner-up."
"Three years ago, strange events occurred frequently, and the livelihood of H Country has been in chaos. Recently, a strange insect that controls corpses appeared in the capital city. The government and military were unable to control the spread of the disaster. After the formation of a strange field, the capital city was abandoned. The people lost confidence in the current president, and the reputation of the political party also declined."
"The Zhou family member running in the election this year is Zhou Wei's father. GT Group has been less impacted. Since last year, they have been actively involved in public welfare activities, and their reputation is growing. They are likely to be elected."
Shen Hanshuang tapped on the computer in her hand, obtaining all the information she could find so far.
She has been officially transferred from the Abnormal Management Group 7 to specifically assist Xie Yunsui. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the connection with Xie Yunsui, and on the other hand, of course, to monitor whether there are any bad people around Xie Yunsui at any time.
The relief center where Xie Yunsui taught courses was also under her jurisdiction.
As soon as Xie Yunsui said that Gu Xi had a sister from abroad to look after him, Shen Hanshuang's alarm bells went off.
Now she can't bear to hear any information related to foreign countries.
Gu Xi had been ignored in the orphanage for three years, but after the orphanage started teaching cultivation courses, he had a sister?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Chen Hanshuang had to apply for higher authority to connect the previous and next relationships.
"Ten days ago, Zhu Mingyu returned to China on a low-key business trip. She consulted several middle schools and orphanages about transferring to other schools. Ours is very strict and doesn't accept transfers from foreigners. She probably didn't get the confirmation, so she turned her attention to her adopted brother from the Sunshine Orphanage. Four days ago, Zhou Wei also came here on a private cruise ship."
"They should be here for the cultivation techniques at the rescue center."
Xie Yunsui made a serpentine drift, avoided the roadblock, and drove straight forward.
The paper cranes led the way, and the scenery on both sides gradually became desolate.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the outskirts of Yunzhou City.
"What's the place ahead?" Xie Yunsui suddenly interrupted her and asked.
Chen Hanshuang looked up the map during the bumpy ride: "Logistics transfer station."
During the period of economic development of Yunzhou City, it was once prosperous, but now many warehouses are idle and waiting to be used. It only costs a small amount of money to rent an area.
This place is sparsely populated, and usually there are only a few caretakers on duty.
She knew Xie Yunsui was going to find Gu Xi, and was puzzled for a moment: "Why would they take a child to the logistics transfer station?"
Xie Yunsui asked him again, "If we just want to practice the technique, Zhu Mingyu alone is enough. After all, she's the only one with feelings. Why is Zhou Wei here?"
Given Zhou Wei's identity, does he need to travel thousands of miles to see a child?
Chen Hanshuang felt an ominous premonition in her heart: "Are you saying that they have other intentions?"
Xie Yunsui stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"I don't know anything else. I called to block the transfer station. There's an energy field reaction there."
"Something strange has appeared."
-
Gu Xi didn't expect that the development of things had exceeded his expectations.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he was waiting downstairs for Zhu Mingyu to pick him up, thinking that she would just send a driver, but she came in person.
Gu Xi got on the car and was taken all the way to the suburbs.
It was visible to the naked eye that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians outside.
Gu Xi looked out the window and said with a half-smile: "This place is very suitable for disposing of corpses."
Zhu Mingyu: "...Don't worry, if you really want to do something, I won't pick you up in person."
The car stopped in front of Warehouse No. 18. The door was open and there was no light inside. Gu Xi squinted his eyes and felt that it was pitch black inside.
"I'm back in China for business and rented this place. It's quiet, convenient, spacious, and there won't be many people disturbing you. It's perfect for you to demonstrate your skills."
Zhu Mingyu enthusiastically pulled Gu Xi's arm and led him inside.
Zhu Mingyu was wearing a silk embroidered cheongsam today, which showed off her graceful figure. Gu Xi listened to the sound of her high heels echoing in the empty warehouse, and thought that if something happened, she would definitely not be able to escape.
Gu Xi felt a little relieved.
"Practicing martial arts? You didn't mention this before you came here."
"How can I know if this technique is useful or not without practicing it?"
Zhu Mingyu smiled and took him to the depths of the warehouse.
Gu Xi discovered that this place had been rearranged. The elevated shelves and warehouses were half-enclosed, covering the deepest part. After passing through the guard post of two security guards, a transparent cargo box was placed in the open space inside.
There was a person in the cargo box, huddled in the corner, with his head buried in his body, motionless.
"Coming?"
Only then did Gu Xi realize that there were quite a few people standing nearby. The middle-aged man in the lead looked dignified and elegant. When he saw Zhu Mingyu coming, he smiled and came over to hug her.
The man reached out and patted Gu Xi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Are you Mingyu's brother Gu Xi? You should call me brother-in-law."
He spoke with only a slight accent, and it was not difficult for Gu Xi to tell that this was Zhu Mingyu's second husband.
The moment he confirmed his identity, Gu Xi knew that things might not be as simple as he imagined.
Zhou Yan is the good son-in-law in Zhu Jiasen's eyes. Zhu Jiasen praises him highly at various gatherings and also praises Zhu Mingyu's good vision.
However, Zhou Wei never went back to Zhu Mingyu's parents' home with her, and he never even showed up at big gatherings like the Chinese New Year.
It wasn’t a festival, nor was it Zhu Jiasen’s death anniversary, but Zhou Wei came anyway.
Gu Xi's eyes moved to the transparent cargo box, and a chill seeped down his back.
That was not a person, but a host that was possessed by a strange parasite.
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "I heard that your cultivation method is specifically for weird things. I want to see if I can deal with a little weird thing like this."
Gu Xi forced himself to calm down: "The school has only been teaching courses for a short time, and I don't have the ability to deal with weird things alone."
"Don't worry, there are only larvae in his body. It won't pose a threat to you until this body is completely devoured. You just need to go in and kill it to prove your identity."
Gu Xi trembled as she grabbed Zhu Mingyu's hand. "Sister, how could I possibly kill someone? Aren't you going to practice martial arts? I brought everything here, my notes, and the talismans that the shelter distributed during this period. I brought them all here. I just want to exchange them for some money, sister..."
Zhu Mingyu touched his head soothingly, but was not moved at all. He directly asked someone to put him into the transparent cargo box.
Gu Xi could guess that Zhu Mingyu would abandon his duties, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, without even giving him time to look at his notes.
The warehouse was full of Zhou Wei's bodyguards, all of them tall and strong.
Pressing Gu Xi was like holding a chick, and sending him directly into the transparent cargo box.
As soon as he entered the cargo box, Gu Xi smelled a fishy stench, which was definitely not a smell that could be produced by a human. It was so smelly that he almost vomited.
He looked at Zhu Mingyu through the transparent glass. She and her partner both had their chins slightly raised, looking condescending, like spectators in the arena.
Gu Xi thought, he really has no relatives.
The courses at the rescue center did not teach how to deal with weird things, but Gu Xi had consulted Xie Yunsui a lot in private, and he knew that he could deal with a small weird insect.
But Gu Xi didn't want to just give in to their wishes.
He calculated the time and delayed with the strange insect host until Zhou Wei became impatient and asked his bodyguards to knock on the cargo box in an attempt to anger the strange insect host.
Gu Xi smelled a stronger stench than when he came in.
He has spiritual powers, which makes him more suitable for the evil insects than ordinary people.
The strange insects in that body are trying to break through the barrier of skin and flesh and parasitize the new body.
Gu Xi noticed this keenly and began to bang on the cargo box vigorously.
Zhu Mingyu shouted from outside: "Stop knocking! This is bulletproof glass. If he tries to get out, kill him."
Gu Xi shouted at her: "Sister, save me, save me, I really have no way to deal with him, save me..."
Zhu Mingyu looked at the boy crying for help, feeling a little reluctant, and turned to look at her husband.
Zhou Wei was looking through the notebook that Gu Xi brought, and was not at all disturbed by the situation in the cargo box.
Zhu Mingyu bit her lip and turned back to say, "Kill him and you can get out."
Gu Xi calmed down and looked at Zhu Mingyu expressionlessly. He raised his hand and used his limited spiritual power to unlock the cargo box.
Sister, I gave you a chance.
Gu Xi released the strange insect and ran out in the chaos. He heard continuous gunshots and screams, and without looking back, he went into other warehouses.
He didn't know how many people Zhou Wei and his men had arranged in the warehouse. The gunshots and screams soon died down and were replaced by the sound of searching footsteps.
They are looking for him.
Gu Xi found a shelf that was as high as the ceiling, climbed up to the middle level, huddled down, gritted his teeth and held his breath, hoping that someone would come and rescue him quickly.
The fear of the unknown weighed on the string in his mind, and he began to regret that he should not have taken the risk.
His little cleverness is not enough in the face of absolute strength.
He just wanted to use the fake notes to anger Zhu Mingyu, and then find a way to delay until the dean came, preferably with Xie Yunsui.
If Zhu Mingyu is angered, he will certainly not have an easy time. The most likely scenario is that he will expose the evidence in his hand and make it impossible for him to stay in the shelter.
Then he could use the excuse that he had nowhere to go and follow Xie Yunsui with a clear conscience.
Who knew there was something weird going on behind this?
And Zhou Wei, isn’t he from Country H?
Gu Xi felt that there might be something deeper behind this matter, and he was completely a cannon fodder.
"Bang——"
Someone kicked the useless door of the warehouse, and the iron door made a loud noise, which sounded like a deafening sound in the empty warehouse.
"Search, don't leave any corner unsearched!"
Gu Xi covered his mouth and nose tightly with his hands, not daring to move.
Anyone is fine, Gu Xi thought, come and save him.
"Xiao Xi?"
Gu Xi suddenly looked up and saw Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui stepped on the sword, looked him in the eye, smiled, touched his head, and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
