Chapter 377: Flesh, Blood, Weakness (8) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
The young policeman is young after all. He was persuaded by two social veterans, Wei Ye and Jia Li, to drink a lot of wine, so he told everything he knew. He was drunk and fell asleep on the table.
Bai Jinshu placed an order for a few new dishes. While the restaurant's service robot had not yet served the dishes, several members of the exploration team sat together to analyze the situation.
"Brother Chu said this thing is useless," Zhang Lu held the young policeman's brooch in his hand, raised it up to the light and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything. He could only put it down with regret and said, "Then could it be that he escaped death several times before because of something else?"
"Not really." Wei Ye held up his chin, took the brooch from Zhang Lu and looked at it carefully. "Didn't he say that in his previous lives, as a policeman, he had faced hundreds of incidents, if not thousands. His equipment was different every time, but this brooch was the only one he had with him from beginning to end."
The mobile teams and police stations in zone 08 seem to follow the rule of returning belongings to their original owners. After the death of a team member, there will be corpse collectors to take their belongings back and organize and properly store them. Some protective equipment that is confirmed to be useful against C-type creatures will be temporarily allocated to other team members until the reincarnation of the deceased is confirmed and the reincarnated person is willing to return to his or her post. Only then will the item be taken out of the hands of other team members and returned to the original owner.
Most of the equipment seen in the mobile team before was of this type. When taking the equipment away, it needs to be registered so that it can be returned to the original owner after the reincarnation of the original owner is found.
The brooch on the young policeman's hand is of this type. Since he is willing to become a policeman again every time he is found and reincarnated, the brooch will return to his hands every time.
During these reincarnations, the only thing that has been with him from beginning to end is this brooch. If there is any object that causes the C-type creatures to let him go every time, it can only be this thing.
"Let me take a look," Ming Qingrong took it curiously and studied it for a while, "Could it be that there is some special coating on it, or is this thing made of special material?"
"Brother Chu said it's useless," Jia Li also leaned over to take a look, "Isn't that to say that this thing, from the pattern to the material to the paint, is useless?"
"Is that the magnetic field?" Wei Ye guessed.
"Instead of talking about magnetic field, you might as well say that this thing has some special radiation." Si Panxuan continued.
"Sister Lu," the quiet Shi Liqun also spoke up to remind her, "Identification."
Zhang Lu collected a miracle called [Basic Item Identification Mastery]. This thing was extremely useful when exploring, and she had used it many times before.
"It has been identified," Zhang Lu shrugged regretfully after hearing Shi Liqun's words, "When I first got it, I passed the [Basic Item Identification Mastery] test, and the result was that this thing is an alloy. The specific composition cannot be analyzed at the basic level, so an intermediate level identification is required, but it is certain that there is no radioactivity, it is just an ordinary alloy jewelry."
"The entire brooch is divided into two parts. The carved part in the front was probably made more than two hundred years ago. The craftsmanship is far superior to the craftsmanship of the current timeline of my world. There are traces of sharp weapon contusion and corrosion on the upper left and lower right parts. The former is inferred to be caused by some kind of blunt sharp weapon or the claws of a large animal. The latter is inferred to be caused by some unknown chemical reagent, which is also corrosive to the human body."
"The pin on the back was manufactured around 80 years ago. There are seven solder joints at the connection between the front and back parts, and the dating is also around 80 years. It is estimated that 80 years ago, a custodian of the brooch replaced the pin for it."
Although Zhang Lu has exchanged for [Basic Mastery of Cthulhu Creatures], there is no [Mastery of Cthulhu Item Identification] to buy in the mall. These are the only contents that can be identified in the basic identification, and there is no mention of anything related to the Cthulhu system.
Everyone at the table passed the badge around, but no one could figure out anything, but they did make a lot of random guesses.
"What's the situation with this thing?" Si Panxuan looked at the brooch thoughtfully for a long time, then turned to ask She Mochu for his opinion, "Brother Chu..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
In her sight, She Mochu was holding a bowl in one hand and had finished half of the dish on the table without even raising his head.
He was even picky about food! He only ate the red vegetables on the plate, and would not touch the other vegetables and meat in the stir-fry. He lived a peaceful life, as if he and the exploration team members who had been studying this strange brooch for dozens of minutes were in two different worlds.
It was clearly him who first said that there was something wrong with this thing?
How come you are the only one here eating as if nothing happened?
Hearing her voice, She Mochu raised his head slightly, glanced at her, mainly at the brooch in her hand, and then looked away as if nothing had happened: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Si Panxuan: “Ah?”
Is eating the point now?
The point is not that there is something wrong with this thing, but that there is something wrong with the anti-type creatures and the so-called equipment here?
【Laughing to death, the most familiar episode.】
[Chu Shen: You guys don’t want to eat? Then I’ll eat. ]
[I thought it was funny that everyone was carefully analyzing the ingredients of this brooch, while the Lord was just picking on the food.]
[At mealtime, no matter what kind of creatures or mysterious chest targets are, they are not as important to the owner as eating. 】
[What is this red vegetable? It looks delicious... I'm hungry.]
[If you are hungry, just order takeout. I can’t cook. ]
[I can’t click on this. I’m in modern society. This is the future world.]
[My dear brother, listen to my advice. Don't be interested in anything that looks delicious to Xiao Chu.]
[Ah? Why? ]
[You will regret it...]
Everyone in the barrage was discussing it enthusiastically, and the exploration team members on the screen finally picked up their chopsticks.
"Eat, eat, eat quickly, eat something to fill your stomach," Zhang Lu was the first to greet them, "Especially Wei Ye and Jia Li, you two just drank quite a lot to get this policeman drunk, eat something quickly to fill your stomach, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable after waking up from a hangover."
Although she doesn't drink much, she still knows that she should eat snacks while drinking so that she can get drunk slowly.
Thank God there are plants like peanuts in the future world. Just now, when the two cunning old foxes were forcing the young policeman to drink, they cooperated with each other and did not allow the young policeman time to eat the food and wine, which is why he was drunk so quickly.
Wei Ye waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, Sister Lu, that's just a few drinks. Don't you know that when I was an outdoor anchor, we relied on alcohol to boost our courage when exploring deep in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night? I've developed my drinking capacity a long time ago!"
"Yeah," Jia Li nodded, "Besides, the alcohol in the future world is actually not as strong as the one in our time."
I don’t know if it’s because the brewing technology has undergone reforms, or if there was a technological gap when the disaster occurred, but the wine in the future world will not be as strong as the liquor of their time.
Since both of them said so, Zhang Lu didn't say anything more. However, Ming Qingrong, as a medical student, advised that drinking less alcohol is harmful to the liver.
Most of the edible dishes on the table were added by She Mochu himself just now. He picked and chose and ate all the red vegetables in the plate by himself, and also ordered another plate.
Wei Ye watched the second dish being served and curiously picked up a piece of the red vegetable with his chopsticks.
Is this stuff delicious?
"Don't..." Zhang Lu was a step too late to stop him.
The moment the red vegetable entered his mouth, Wei Ye's face changed instantly.
"Holy shit... Pah," his entire face turned red, "Is this a chili pepper?"
Are you people from the future sick? Why do peppers look like red spinach?
It’s that kind of abnormally spicy pepper!
The moment he entered the entrance, he saw his great-grandmother!
Wei Ye spat out the vegetables in his mouth in embarrassment, grabbed the cup beside him and drank it all, almost spitting it out: "Damn it, why is it wine!"
The table suddenly became chaotic.
Jia Li, who was next to Wei Ye, hurriedly found him some water to rinse his mouth. The good news was that there was an automatic water-dispensing machine next to his seat, and there was an ice-maker underneath. The bad news was that it would take another thirty seconds for the ice-maker to make ice.
Ming Qingrong said subconsciously: "Drink milk to relieve the spiciness... milk, milk... is there milk in this era?"
"You should eat a few mouthfuls of rice to calm down..." Si Panxuan silently handed over a bowl of rice.
In just a few seconds, Wei Ye was already in tears due to the spiciness. Zhang Lu held his forehead with his hand, unable to bear to watch any longer, regretting that he was a step too slow. In the chaos, Bai Jinshu silently reached out his chopsticks and picked up another piece of chili.
This is what a peaceful life is all about.
This cannot be blamed on him. After all, She Mochu's sense of taste is really weak. He can only taste the flavors when he eats things that are very irritating or have extremely extreme tastes.
If you want to blame someone, just blame the peppers in the future world for the fact that through continuous technological iteration and improvement, the sensation of spiciness has finally been transformed from a sense of pain into a sense of taste.
At the dinner table, Wei Ye collapsed quietly when he saw She Mochu continuing to eat peacefully.
The comments were so funny:
【……Grass. 】
[I knew it would be like this! ]
[That spinach-like pepper is so red, it has grown to the point where it is inedible. Wei Ye, why don’t you believe it? ]
[You are so confused, Xiao Ye, don't you think about it, what you, Chu Shen, like to eat can be good food? ]
[Zhang Lu was almost able to stop this unfortunate child, but unfortunately Wei Ye's chopsticks were too fast, and the food was stuffed into her mouth before she could say anything.]
[The last time the Lord liked to eat was the pickled vegetable that was said to be so bitter and sour that it made people doubt their lives.]
[So besides She Mochu, are there other people who are interested in these two things? ]
[No, what level are the rest of you, eating the same vegetables as the Lord. ]
After a period of chaos, Bai Jinshu was finally full, and everyone at the table finally picked up their bowls again.
However, due to what happened to She Mochu and Wei Ye, everyone suddenly became distrustful of the food in the future world. After hastily eating, Zhang Lu drove the flying vehicle to send the young policeman home, and then took everyone back to the dormitory.
When bringing the information to the young policeman, Bai Jinshu specifically took out the calm female "friend"'s and read it through with the help of the reading light in the car along the way.
Yang Lifeng, a name that doesn’t seem to be a name for a girl at first glance.
Bai Jinshu confirmed it many times when he retrieved it, and repeatedly compared it with all the clinics in the same time period and the two patients before and after the clinic where the girl was, before he confirmed that the name was indeed hers.
The cognitive impairment that is regularly treated in this department is definitely not a simple disorder. Bai Jinshu flipped through a few pages of medical records and got a general understanding of the condition.
To put it simply, this is a very common mental illness in this era, and the incidence rate is also very high. The main problem is the cognitive impairment of one's past life and current identity.
This situation usually occurs when the difference between the two identities is too great, or when there is a gender change. This girl's situation is a combination of both. Judging from her name and her own description in her previous life, she was a man with very strong masculine characteristics, who was keen on fighting and lived in a not peaceful social environment. After reincarnation, she became a girl with a cowardly personality, and was very quiet and introverted.
Bai Jinshu casually checked the Internet and found that many people said that cognitive impairment is a common disease. Basically 80% of people will have cognitive impairment of varying degrees, but most people will not go to see a doctor specifically because during their growth process, their parents, relatives, and even relatives and friends from previous lives will help correct their cognition. After adulthood, most people's symptoms will be alleviated or no longer exist.
Only a few cases are serious enough to see a doctor.
Moreover, everyone's personality is cultivated from childhood and is connected to one's relatives and friends in the previous life. After growing up in a similar environment, most people will show very distinct characteristics of their previous lives.
For example, the young policeman who got drunk tonight, he grew up surrounded by his colleagues and friends from his previous life. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that he chose to continue to be a policeman.
But this girl...Yang Lifeng.
Bai Jinshu tapped the name on the file twice with his fingertips.
It doesn't look like someone had corrected her cognition since she was a child.
Medical records showed that when she first came for treatment, her cognitive impairment was so severe that she needed intervention to prevent self-harm.
In her own narrative, the two names Yang Lifeng and Wen Qinqin appeared repeatedly, sometimes referring to one person and sometimes to two people.
Yang Lifeng was her previous life, and Wen Qinqin should be her name this time.
When she came for the first time, the first medicine the doctor prescribed for her was not mental-related, but a nutrient to replenish her body's energy.
The medical record said that she was incredibly thin at that time, like a skeleton. Doctors rarely use such literary language in medical records. This was the description Bai Jinshu summarized after reading the examination data attached to the medical record.
In the subsequent process, the treatment situation was not optimistic. After the third counseling, the doctor even took the initiative to write down that the patient needed to stay away from her family, and specifically noted that she should stay away from her current family member who caused her cognitive impairment.
But it seems that this suggestion was not adopted. During the first six consultations, each time the girl left the clinic, she felt better than when she came in, but her condition got worse again when she came back the next time.
The doctor also seemed to have considered asking the police for help, issuing a protection certificate and applying for a restraining order, forcibly separating her from Yang Lifeng's relatives and friends, so that they could not get within one kilometer of the girl.
But for some reason, although the protection certificate was finally issued, the restraining order was not approved.
This situation continued until this counseling session. The doctor found that the girl's condition had improved a lot. Her rejection of Yang Lifeng's identity had mostly disappeared, and she was no longer obsessed with the differences between the two.
In this medical record, words such as "significant improvement" were rarely mentioned. At the same time, the girl's physical condition also improved a lot and gradually returned to normal standards.
Something must have happened between the sixth and seventh draughts...
With the authority of the mobile team, he would definitely be able to find clues related to this girl if he wanted to. However, thinking of that calm woman and the strange cult behind her who knew what they were up to, Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes slightly and closed the information.
He didn't want to alert the church and draw its attention.
While on the aircraft, except for Zhang Lu who was driving, the rest of the people also passed the file around after he finished reading it. However, it was obvious that these explorers who were born in modern society were not used to aircraft. After reading no more than one page, they became carsick, dizzy and wanted to vomit.
The one who held out the longest among the five was Shi Liqun. He had almost finished reading the entire record before he turned his head away in silence. After a long pause, he uttered a dizzy "Ugh."
A bunch of people instantly appeared on the screen.
My dumb husband
【Liqun is so cute! 】
[If you feel carsick, don’t force yourself to watch it. You can still watch it after getting off the car! ]
[I remember Si Panxuan seemed to have said before that Li Qun was in the Air Force and had received training, so he should not be considered to be holding on because he has better physical fitness than others.]
[It seems that the Air Force can't withstand the aircraft of the future world... Is the destructive power so great? ]
[The main reason is that Sister Zhang Lu is not good at opening (eyes shifted)]
【Liqun worked too hard to get into a high-end space.】
[Wuwuwuwu, although I work very hard, I still can't bear to leave you, Liqun - you are in the high-end space, what am I watching? Will we meet again? When we meet again, Liqun, you must be happy! Be happy! Be happy, Liqun! How can I live without you, Liqun! *]
[Be bold, upgrade to A directly after completing the exploration of this space, and you and Liqun will go to the high-end space together. ]
【Ah, that's unlikely. Actually (whispering), I thought all of us, the weak and frail ones, had accepted the fact that this was paraquat. 】
[? Can you please have some trust in the project that Chu Shen personally came to? If this space has no potential, why did Chu Shen come here! ]
[Yes, the Lord even came alone, not because other friends wanted to come.]
[Family members, who knows? I first started with the Lord when I first came into contact with the K-space. I mistakenly thought that every exploration team member was as awesome as the Lord, which led to me losing an investment in a K-space after I abandoned myself.]
[It’s hard for you and your family…]
The topic on the barrage soon veered off to the horizon, and everyone began discussing the spaces where they earned the most and lost the most, and everyone on the screen finally arrived at the base.
After stepping on solid ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and silently swore in their hearts that they would never read any text on a flying vehicle again.
As for why I will never ride in a flying vehicle driven by Zhang Lu again... what a joke, is there anyone else here who can drive besides her?
A group of people returned to the dormitory with unsteady steps, fell directly onto the bed dizzy and dazed, without even having time to continue reading the unfinished medical record.
When they woke up the next morning, everyone who had finally recovered saw Si Panxuan and Shi Liqun, who had gotten up early as usual, in the cafeteria, with She Mochu sitting next to them.
It seemed that a lethal amount of vinegar was added to She Mochu's breakfast, to the extent that even a person from Shanxi would be drowned. A group of people numbly passed around yesterday's medical records as he ate without changing his expression.
"What do you think?" Zhang Lu asked as he drank a glass of iced juice made of unknown fruit from the buffet area.
"The idea...the people from that evil cult are trying to contact these miserable people and achieve the effect of missionary work." Si Panxuan stated.
"I think her experience may not be normal," Wei Ye thought for a moment and said, "Don't they say that normal people only behave like this when they are young? She is almost an adult and still behaves so seriously. There must be some drastic changes in her life. When she was Wen Qinqin, she might not know that she was Xiao Yang Lifeng in her previous life."
"Well," Jia Li also added, "The doctor has issued a certificate and prepared to apply for a restraining order but it was unsuccessful, which means that it is very likely that she cannot leave her previous life, that is, Yang Lifeng's relatives and friends."
"To add to that," Ming Qingrong added, "the report from the first examination showed that she was not simply malnourished, but rather had a lot of excessive exercise. This is usually caused by patients doing a lot of intense exercise for a long time while on an extreme diet."
"And this sign of strenuous exercise has been accompanied by every counseling examination." He flipped through the medical records in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would suspect that this patient's living environment might not be good. His work is full of physical labor, but at the same time he can only get very little food."
Even Shi Liqun, who was usually the most silent, added after Ming Qingrong finished speaking: "It's not safe."
"Okay," Zhang Lu roughly summarized everyone's analysis, "That means this girl's life has undergone a huge change. After she came into contact with her past life, she is likely living in an unsafe environment where she needs to use physical labor to exchange for work opportunities. Due to some unclear reasons, she cannot leave her relatives and friends in her past life, and she cannot get protection from the police."
"Because of this special situation, a sect that spreads the idea that life is meaningless has targeted her, and somehow they have actually changed her life."
Everyone nodded and agreed with this summary.
"Then our goal today is to continue investigating this girl." Zhang Lu decided.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Jinshu beside her said slowly, "No."
"Huh?" Everyone at the table was stunned.
"Is there a problem?" Zhang Lu was the first to react. "This girl?"
What problems will arise if we continue investigating her?
"No," She Mochu finally finished his meal under everyone's gaze, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "Because I have more important things to do today."
"The police officer you got drunk yesterday sent a message this morning, asking if we could assist the police in investigating a new type of drug that has recently appeared in the area."
"This is something that has never appeared before, but people who have come into contact with it will show short-term excessive excitement and subsequent long-term mental inattention, temperament changes and other symptoms. The police have obtained clues that this thing is a newly circulated drug, but his master, who is also his former partner, suspects that it is related to the Ke-series creatures." Si Panxuan added, "We are the only mobile team members he knows. The formal process of reporting relevant information and applying for assistance in the investigation takes too long. They are worried that the informant will alert the suspects and the suspects will escape, so they came to ask us for help privately."
"Brother Chu said," Shi Liqun concluded, "he suspected that this thing was spread by that evil cult, and he wanted to go and take a look."
The author has something to say:
It really makes you dizzy when you look at your phone while in a car! Especially when you have nothing to do on the highway and want to play with your phone, and then you get carsick, and you can't open the window, it's simply the torture of the 21st century
The first 20 + random 20, it’s too late to start today, I didn’t have time to do the daily private Marseille
