Inside Dajing Hospital!
After gathering her thoughts, Xiong Beibei, lying in her hospital bed, began to speak:
"That day in the village, after dealing with that fight dispute."
I drove back with auxiliary police officers Sun and Zhang from the bureau.
"When the police car was about to leave the village, it suddenly had a tire blowout."
Although Mr. Sun, who was driving, tried his best to control the steering wheel, the car still went out of control and rolled down the steep slope by the roadside.
"When I fell down, I hit my head and was a little dazed."
The car was upside down, stuck in the bushes at the bottom of the slope.
Two auxiliary police officers were also seriously injured.
I vaguely regained consciousness and tried to reach for my phone to call for help, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
"Just as I was fumbling to unbuckle my seatbelt, I vaguely heard some noise outside the car."
Someone came down the slope.
The footsteps were mixed, so there was definitely more than one person.
I thought to myself, "Maybe it was a kind passerby, or someone from the village who saw it and came to help."
Xiong Beibei frowned slightly, "But it's obviously not."
My vision was a bit blurry at the time, and I couldn't see their faces clearly.
They all seemed to be wearing masks, only their eyes were visible.
"How many people are there? What are their characteristics?" Liu Huiming pressed.
"It seems there are five."
One of them appears to be a girl.
They moved quickly and efficiently, unlike ordinary villagers.
The other party was holding a crowbar or something similar and started smashing the car windows.
Xiong Beibei said:
"I immediately sensed something was wrong; the other party was clearly not a rescue worker!"
I tried to reach for my gun, but it was at my side, and I was trapped by the seatbelt and the deformed car body. My arm was also injured, so I couldn't reach it for a moment.
Just as they smashed the passenger-side window and reached in...
I strained to concentrate, and by the dim light of their flashlights, I saw a rather distinctive mark on the clothes of the person closest to me…
He looked at Shen Ting:
"It's the one you later saw in my book, the one I drew with blood before I fell into a coma—"
A circle with the number '8' written horizontally inside.
Or, more accurately, the ∞ symbol in mathematics.
I wanted to see their faces clearly, but they were covered up too well and moved very quickly.
Then I smelled a particularly pungent odor, like ether or some kind of anesthetic.
Then I lost consciousness and quickly knew nothing more.
What Xiong Beibei saw was actually more like ∞ than the number 8?
Shen Ting nodded.
"When I wake up again."
Xiong Beibei's eyes darkened:
"I was in that dark mine."
There were only a few dim miners' lamps in the cave, and I was the only person nearby.
However, I could clearly hear other people's voices in the distance.
I shouted loudly for auxiliary police officers Sun Lixiang and Zhang Jiwei, but there was no response.
Then, sounds rang out from inside the mine.
I searched and discovered that the sound came from a tape recorder…
"The voice playing from the tape recorder first announced that we had joined the abnormal game."
They said we need to kill each other so that only one person can leave the mine alive.
Otherwise, everyone would be killed.
Then, the recording began playing some seemingly inflammatory but illogical statements.
For example, "Survival is the highest law!"
"It is not a sin to fight for yourself in dire straits!"
"Which is more important, another person's life or your own?"
"Show your power, or face equal destruction"...
Such as these.
Oh, right!
The perpetrator of the Miyun District bombing did leave behind a notebook.
Did it copy text from the spy website?
The content played on the tape recorder at the time was very similar in style to the content copied into the notebook.
“I know this tape recorder, especially the recordings, are not right.”
Xiong Beibei's tone was filled with relief and lingering fear:
“Shen Ting, when I was working with you on cases before, didn’t I come into contact with spyers and their tape recorders?”
I know that these things can very likely use psychological suggestion, manipulation, or hypnosis to control others.
So I kept reminding myself not to listen and not to believe.
I stuffed my ears with rags and smashed the two tape recorders closest to me.
He kept repeating it to himself...
Xiong Beibei paused, a little embarrassed, but still said it:
Silently recite the twenty-four-character mantra.
Prosperity, democracy, civility, and harmony!
Freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law!
Patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness!
I kept reciting them, hehe, using them as a calming mantra.
Try to avoid letting those random, irrelevant comments affect you.
Shen Ting couldn't help but laugh; this was indeed something Xiong Beibei would do.
Moreover, in that environment, Xiong Beibei's ability to maintain such a clear mind and strong willpower is truly remarkable.
"However, I can control myself, but I can't control others."
Xiong Beibei sighed, a helpless look on her face:
"I also thought that other people might be affected by the recording, so I quickly ran to find them."
But it was too late.
When I found the first person, they were clearly affected by those words; their eyes were all wrong.
He looked visibly deranged.
He seemed to believe the contents of the recording: only by killing others and ultimately surviving could he get out of the mine alive.
Some even stole the weapons that were kept in the wall cave—
