313 Chen Qihang
◎Will the sources of global pollution be recorded?◎
Morgue? What was Huo Wenxi doing in the morgue? Who died?
Huo Wenxi: "I'm following up on Chen Qihang."
Zhu Ning asked Huo Wenxi to follow up on a lot of information, almost using her as a wishing well, throwing in the mystery and the answer would float up.
The hardest thing to find here is Zhu Yao's information, which is blocked inside Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, and there is no possibility of any action. Prometheus is blocking information at all times, and Huo Wenxi's speed in finding information cannot keep up with the speed at which he deletes it.
On the contrary, Chen Qihang has more clues, and the more unreasonable they are, the greater the gains are.
Zhu Ning: "Chen Qihang is dead?"
No, judging from the description in the notebook, Chen Qihang is from the old world and must have been dead for decades. If he is in the morgue, he must have died recently. How is that possible?
Zhu Ning didn't expect Huo Wenxi to find it so quickly, and he didn't expect her to be so explosive right from the start.
"Yes," Huo Wenxi exhaled a puff of smoke and began again. "There was only one name. I searched extensively, using pen names, ID registration information, and online usernames. I initially found over 30,000."
Zhu Ning wondered if this information would pile up like a mountain. Huo Wenxi had searched extensively for Chen Qihang within her authority, only to find over 30,000 people who might meet the requirements. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Huo Wenxi's special ability is intuition. She can quickly browse the information and see which information is relevant, just like how Huo Wenxi was able to find the traitor in the cleaning center from the vast crowd.
Huo Wenxi stayed up all day and all night, his eyes scanning the information as quickly as a camera, selecting fifteen from more than 30,000 pieces of information.
She narrowed the scope again and settled on the last two people, who were the ones she was most likely to get clues from.
Huo Wenxi had the information in his head, and he narrated in a calm voice, "One was an investigator, Chen Qihang, a man who died forty years ago at the age of thirty-one."
Zhu Ning wondered, wasn't Chen Qihang from the Old World? How could he be inside the Great Firewall? This didn't make sense. Did Huo Wenxi find the wrong person?
Huo Wenxi continued, "I didn't follow up on this Chen Qihang. He's been dead for too long, and he died outside the wall. Not even a body was left."
Zhu Ning paid close attention to Huo Wenxi's choice of words. How many Chen Qihangs are there in this Chen Qihang?
Huo Wenxi: "Then I found another one. Her real name is Tian Lu, female, 25 years old, from District 59. She writes supernatural stories on the supernatural forum under the pen name Chen Qihang."
Huo Wenxi continued, "She was from inside the Great Firewall and was still alive. I was busy and didn't plan to go see her in person, so I asked Zhuang Lin to visit her at her home. Zhuang Lin told me back that she was dead."
Zhu Ning was listening to a story, wondering how another person died.
Huo Wenxi: "She stays at home all year round. Neighbors say she rarely goes out. Zhuang Lin pretended to be a community investigator and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He didn't want to alert them and wanted to consult me before making a decision. Then he spotted a row of wriggling black bugs under the door, forming a line that seemed to be overflowing from the room. You know, people inside the wall don't have so many bugs in their homes, unless they're specially raised."
With the development of technology, pest control has become very comprehensive, and there are actually not many insects in garbage dumps.
"Zhuang Lin carefully opened the door. Her room was filled with a foul odor and was crawling with bugs. In other words, her house was infested with bugs, and the color of the furniture was almost invisible. Zhuang Lin had no place to step inside. At first glance, it looked like a wormhole. When he opened the door, the bugs overflowed, rushing out as if they were running for their lives. The whole building was infested with bugs, and the neighbors were scared and screaming. This matter was completely impossible to deal with quietly. Zhuang Lin found help and found her body under the desk in the bedroom. She had died not long ago, the night before I went to find her."
Huo Wenxi rubbed her temples with the hand holding the cigarette, her face full of fatigue. Because it was so strange, she gave up her original plan to rest and rushed to the scene.
"I'll send you some photos of the scene. They'll give you a better idea of what's happening," Huo Wenxi said, briefly describing the scene. "Besides the bugs, there were three burnt-out red candles on the table, a broken rooster bowl on the floor, and the bathtub was filled with black water. Her body was curled up under the table, her face swollen and covered in strange bubbles."
Zhu Ning received the photo from Huo Wenxi. The dead "Chen Qihang" was covered with bubbles as big as fists, like bubbles in a swamp. Some of them were swollen to the extreme and burst, and white maggots were wriggling in the wounds.
Zhu Ning stared at the bubbles for a long time. After Zhuang Lin opened the door, the bugs rushed out. Did the bugs crawl out from the bubbles on his face?
Huo Wenxi: "There are no signs of intrusion, no enemies, and it's ruled a suicide. Preliminary estimates indicate the death occurred within 24 hours."
Zhu Ning felt more and more puzzled as he listened, and asked, "Was there a ceremony?"
Zhu Ning had just gotten off the Homecoming. Back then, people with special abilities could commit suicide to make themselves the power source of the train. Was this person also performing a ritual?
What did she awaken?
"I don't know. I'm waiting for the autopsy results here. I might not get anything." Huo Wenxi went on to talk about her background. "It's said that she was an ordinary office worker, introverted and didn't like interacting with people. She loved animals, insects, and all non-human creatures. Her greatest hobby was recording all kinds of supernatural events. She would run wherever there was danger. She loved investigating and recording."
Huo Wenxi: "I still have more than a dozen suspicious people in my hands, and I haven't followed up yet. That's all."
This is what Huo Wenxi found out. There is no definite evidence, so it can't be called a big gain. If Zhu Ning hadn't contacted her, she would have wanted to wait until it was systematic before telling Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ningjing calmed down, started from the beginning, and said, "I first learned about Chen Qihang's notebook. You brought it to me. Few people have seen it. You read it first and then I will read it. The content records the vicinity of the deserted village. The diary clearly states the date 2007. Do you remember it?"
It is easy to get confused when receiving information alone, so Zhu Ning and Huo Wenxi sorted it out together, and Huo Wenxi nodded.
Zhu Ning constructed a timeline in his mind: 2007, deserted village.
The second time was in 2008.
The third time was at Songshan Temple in 2006.
The fourth is the Homecoming Train, which has no exact date. There is a major pollution outbreak, the end of the world is coming, and the traditional date is abolished.
Zhu Ning had previously speculated that the end of the world would probably occur in 2057.
Zhu Ning had always thought that he turned into a notebook after he died, but now it seems that "Chen Qihang" lived to the Federation era and lived until the most recent time.
Chen Qihang is not a contaminant carrying turtle genes, so he is not so long-lived and can survive many crises.
It sounded like there would be infinite resurrection, which made Zhu Ning subconsciously think of Bai Cheng, but he felt that something was wrong. Every Bai Cheng looked the same, and it seemed that Bai Cheng achieved this through self-reproduction, shared memories, and would notify Pei Shu of their "resurrection" point before death, allowing Zhu Ning to find it.
But Huo Wenxi was able to find so many Chen Qihangs at once, and there might be even more. These Chen Qihangs are scattered all over the place and may exist at the same time. They have no intersection with each other and probably don’t know each other.
Huo Wenxi expressed what Zhu Ning was thinking: "Chen Qihang is most likely a shared name. They either took pseudonyms or changed their names to play the role of Chen Qihang together."
Zhu Ning added: "And he has the ability to predict the future. You just happened to encounter the escape scene."
If Huo Wenxi hadn't gone to look for him, the man might not have died.
Zhu Ning: "Why do we have to use the three words Chen Qihang?"
If Tian Lu didn't have this pen name, she probably wouldn't have been noticed by Huo Wenxi.
Huo Wenxi followed Zhu Ning's line of thought and said, "Perhaps this is the only way to establish a connection with the notebook."
They worked together to write an investigation note, and were considered "co-authors". Chen Qihang was the one who signed it, and it could only be presented after being signed.
Zhu Ning: "Like a pollutant."
Zhu Ning recalled Su He's words: "Have you found Chen Qihang?"
Maybe what they are looking for is not a notebook, but a pollutant.
It is a bold guess that "Chen Qihang" is still alive. Different Chen Qihangs are distributed in different places, including men, women, old and young, who enter different contaminated areas to investigate. No matter which "Chen Qihang" wrote it, all the records will be presented in the notebook. That's why "Chen Qihang" seems so powerful. He has entered every area. Even if he dies in a contaminated area, it doesn't matter. He just needs to record it before he dies.
If there are enough "Chen Qihangs," perhaps all the polluted areas in the world will be marked, recording the source of the world's pollution? Will Zhu Ning know the answer if he goes there?
Zhu Ning was essentially carrying around a contaminated encyclopedia of the world. Was there a price to pay for using such a contaminated object? Perhaps increased danger? Trading danger for information?
Zhu Ning expressed his guess. Huo Wenxi was unable to give a definite judgment and had no evidence to support it. As he said before, Zhu Ning needed to find Bai Cheng first.
Zhu Ning told Huo Wenxi about the Homecoming incident. This time, Huo Wenxi needed to investigate more things, including the Resurrection Society, the urn, Liu Yu, and the Homecoming itself.
Zhu Ning made good use of the little witch. She needed to go on a big adventure and had no time to decipher the secrets, so the little witch was her wisdom capsule.
Based on her understanding of Huo Wenxi, Zhu Ning might be scolded, but after listening to her, Huo Wenxi put out his cigarette and said, "Be careful."
Huh? Zhu Ning still wasn't used to it. I added to her workload, and she told me to be careful? Was Huo Wenxi possessed?
Huo Wenxi had a hunch that Zhu Ning was cheating on them, investigating more information and digging deeper on her own. The more they understood the world, the more dangerous they would be.
Huo Wenxi raised his head, and the devil's eye under the blindfold was squirming again. The morgue was underground, and there was no sky, and the ceiling was low. At this moment, his vision was raised, and the lines of the morgue were pulled apart and converged upwards, as if there was an eye in the sky staring at him.
The crisis encountered this time may not come from the Kingdom of God or a certain human group, but from a more unknown existence.
Zhu Ning felt that Huo Wenxi was not in a good condition. "If it's dangerous, why not stop investigating?"
Huo Wenxi: "Provocation?"
Zhu Ning thought that he was being blamed for something so big and cried out, "It's unfair. I was really doing this for your own good."
Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "Give me Miss Lu's contact information and I'll try to get in touch with her."
That's great. Zhu Ning was actually quite worried about Liu Niannian, but she was outside the wall and couldn't get there in time if anything happened. Zhu Ning was more than happy to have Huo Wenxi help keep an eye on her.
Moreover, Liu Niannian himself does not care about a lot of information, but in the eyes of the little witch, they are important clues.
Zhu Ning sent the contact number. Huo Wenxi counted his workload and said, "I don't think there will be any news on the Homecoming. There are few records of troubles outside the wall. Liu Yu might still have a chance. I'll send you a message if I find any clues. You can check it when you have a signal. If you don't understand, ask me."
Zhu Ning thought that she had become Huo Wenxi's leader and could read the investigation report she wrote.
Huo Wenxi: "Study the urn first. If you have any clues, share them with me and I'll follow up. I have no idea right now."
Zhu Ning agreed and gave his usual advice before hanging up, "You should also be careful, get some rest, and don't work too hard."
Huo Wenxi smiled and said yes, but after hanging up the phone, her smile disappeared, making her face look very cold. Huo Wenxi quietly finished her last cigarette and stared up for a while.
Area 103 was cleansed, but the eye reappeared.
At first, Huo Wenxi felt dangerous and depressed when being stared at, and even couldn't stop trembling, but as she merged with the Demon Eye, she seemed to become its slave.
She was used to being stared at, and sometimes she would look back out of curiosity.
"Team Leader," Zhuang Lin's voice came from outside the door, "The results are out. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Zhuang Lin couldn't feel it, only Huo Wenxi could feel it, so she had to bear this attention alone.
"I'm coming." Huo Wenxi put out his cigarette and pushed the door open.
…
Zhu Ning looked solemn after hanging up. She was not trying to provoke Huo Wenxi, but was really worried about her. Compared to the truth of the world, she cared more about Huo Wenxi's life.
Huo Wenxi had just sent all kinds of communication information over. She was silent for a moment and sent a private message to Zhuang Lin, asking him to take good care of Huo Wenxi and pay attention to her abnormalities.
Logically speaking, Zhuang Lin was Huo Wenxi's man and would definitely not agree, but he may have noticed that his team leader was not in good spirits recently, so he agreed.
Zhu Ning looked at Chen Qihang's notebook for a while. It was wrapped with bandages. He didn't dare to open it again. Opening it would definitely cost some price.
At least Huo Wenxi explained some of her doubts to her, and Zhu Ning also knew how to make reasonable use of the investigation notes. She couldn't believe them completely, and it could only be used as a reference.
Zhu Ning took out the urn from the card again. This thing was just a replica. She rarely used this ability. Although she had many abilities, most of them were at the primary stage and could not be considered top-notch.
Copying things on your body can restore them, but copying things from the outside world should have a much lower effect. Zhu Ning has not tried it many times. She guessed that completely unknown existences should not be copied, otherwise it would be too outrageous. What if she copied two evil gods?
For example, if it is a contaminated item, she cannot get an identical one, but if it is an ordinary item, such as a pen or a book, she can make a replica.
If she's lucky, there's a map in the urn, and she can get it.
But she was unlucky because Zhu Ning had obtained the original one, and the original urn exuded a sense of chaos and hostility, while the one in her hand was just like a vase.
Zhu Ning tried to open it twice but couldn't. Was it a waste in her hands?
There is an extra thing that cannot be opened, and I still don’t quite understand what the revival will do. From this point of view, Su He does not seem to be a big character, but a high-level worker, and the revival will be very complicated.
Zhu Ning put away the communicator and the urn, walked towards the flying car, and did not get in immediately. Instead, she leaned against the window and looked inside. It was indeed an investigator's car. It was not gorgeous, but it looked very durable. Old Zhao was very thoughtful and had prepared everything. At least she had enough supplies to set off again.
Lin Xiaofeng was already in the driver's seat, studying the new car's performance, touching and probing here and there. Pei Shu was knitting in the back seat, the pink ball of yarn rolling with her movements.
It was exactly the same as when we set out. When I met up with Bai Cheng again, it seemed like I was walking the same route again.
Zhu Ning glanced back at the shelter and jumped into the passenger seat: "Let's go."
