Chapter 232 251. Abnormal
The assault team quickly escorted the strange sword and the murderer back to the military base.
The army was accompanied by not only ordinary military doctors but also people with extraordinary [heart] attributes. However, the murderer's injuries were too serious, and most of his vitality had been sucked away by the knife, so it was unlikely to save him. So they simply gave him a strong medicine to keep him alive and give him a "last hurdle of life".
Anyway, there is a superhuman with the [Qi] attribute in the army who has special abilities and is very suitable for interrogation, so there is no need to worry about not being able to get anything out of him.
When the "living dead" murderer was escorted in, Xu Zhi was surprised to find that his condition looked much better than in the video. He thought that the army must have used some method.
She had thought that she would be allowed to leave at this point. After all, no matter how she thought about it, her identity did not seem suitable for observing the interrogation. But surprisingly, no one asked her to leave, and the female officer did not even come towards her.
However, Xu Zhi also knew that this room must be full of surveillance cameras. Her every expression and every demeanor would be recorded, and when needed, they would be reviewed frame by frame.
Therefore, even though she knew that the so-called murderer was bewitched by her knife, she did not show any expression other than normal surprise. Apart from looking at the knife in the video with curiosity, she did not have too much lingering look. Although she really wanted to take the knife back in her heart, that obviously required some suitable reasons and timing.
At the moment, she couldn't find such a reason, so she could only put aside the matter of the knife for the time being. She couldn't show any interest in the knife beyond curiosity. People who came here also realized that the knife was the key.
Sure enough, after the murderer was brought in, the first question he was asked was: "How did you get that knife?"
It was obvious that no one present felt that the knife was his own.
The murderer obviously did not want to answer this question, but soon he found that he could hardly control his urge to "tell". It was not the feeling that someone was controlling his mind and hypnotizing him to make him answer the question after he became unconscious, but it was more from the heart, and he felt with clear consciousness that he really wanted to tell everything he knew.
He could hardly resist this feeling for long, and then he couldn't help but answer out loud: "I picked it up on the roadside a few days ago."
roadside.
A feeling of "as expected" flashed through Xu Zhi's mind. She had long guessed that when she left the federal world, she and her clansmen were randomly dropped into various places in the real world. Now the knife did not fall into the garbage dump, but was picked up by the murderer on the roadside, which indirectly explained the possibility of this guess.
I just don’t know where the other clan members have gone. Are they doing okay now?
Xu Zhi noticed that as her extraordinary abilities gradually recovered, her perception of her clan members was also getting stronger. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before she would know where the rest of her clan members were and what their situation was.
His mind wandered for only a moment before Xu Zhi pulled it back. Now was not the time to think about these things.
The murderer in front of him had completely opened up and was talking nonstop about everything that had happened since he picked up the knife.
"I don't know why, but when I see people passing by here after get off work, I get this inexplicable urge."
"I want to know, for people like them who work so hard, do they have the same blood flowing in their veins as people like me?"
At this point, his expression seemed to be still a bit savoring. "It's a little different, I feel. Their blood is warmer and smells sweeter. Unlike those who live in rat holes, they don't even have much blood left, let alone life."
He seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke, and his desire for blood and killing could hardly be concealed in his expression and words, and he didn't try to hide it.
"Especially during the foggy season, you know, it's a really good thing. Everyone is afraid to go out, and even if they occasionally hear something, no one will come out to check."
“It’s heaven!”
"It's a shame it lasted so short. After the fog season ended, I could almost close my eyes every day and recall the exhilarating feeling. I was even thinking about the next fog season, and I had to kill more people."
The regret on his face wasn't fake.
This person has fallen completely and is beyond salvation.
The officers sitting at the round table also looked a little solemn. The mental state of the murderer was not consistent with their expectations. Generally speaking, people who were tempted or controlled by supernatural objects would almost become the "puppets" of supernatural objects, no longer having a strong sense of self, and even forgetting the fact that they are human beings, mistakenly believing that they are part of the supernatural objects.
But the murderer in front of him was obviously not like that. His self-awareness was very clear and his memory was not confused at all, but his personality had changed considerably, and even his cognition and common sense seemed to be different. Until now, he did not think that the knife controlled him, but only felt that he suddenly wanted to try the taste of killing and blood from the bottom of his heart.
He did not have the usual "sense of identification" with the "knife" that one would experience after being controlled or bewitched by a supernatural object. Even when the knife was taken away, he did not become anxious and impatient, nor did he go crazy or lose consciousness.
It was as if to him, the knife was really just a tool, and the desire for bloodthirstiness and killing did not come from the knife, but from himself.
It's so strange that this knife can actually completely reshape a person's cognition and personality in a short period of time. Moreover, this change is more thorough and independent than the temptation and control of other extraordinary objects.
Most of the officers at the round table showed some curiosity and interest, but the expression of the female officer in the middle became solemn.
"Take him to the back immediately. I want to personally test his extraordinary attributes."
It sounds like she plans to do this alone.
This made the other officers a little confused, but she was the highest-ranking officer, so she naturally could not refute it.
Xu Zhi's eyes were also filled with curiosity as he watched her take the murderer to the back room alone. In his heart, he was sighing that the other party seemed to be quite perceptive and had smelled something from the murderer's unusual words and deeds, so he made such a decision.
No wonder she is able to hold a high position at such a young age. There is a reason for this. Many people at the round table are older than her, but none of them seem to be dissatisfied with her.
However, as he watched the reagents for testing properties being brought in by his adjutant, Xu Zhi knew that from this moment on, everything would be different.
The few peaceful moments in her life that she had lived with Qi Yanxin in the slums were gone forever.
I don’t know what kind of impact the sudden discovery of the [Cup] attribute believers will have on the real world?
