Chapter 105 The Current Situation in China's Capital
The weird response department in the Chinese capital.
Although the weird live broadcast has been around for such a long time, the capital has been very quiet and no weird incidents have occurred. Of course, the weird response department has been established here, and this is even the headquarters of the entire weird response department.
Whether it is Heng City or Sui City, or other cities' newly established strange response departments, all information will be summarized and reported here, but except Sui City and Heng City, no other cities have confirmed strange information to report.
Si Zai is thirty-six years old this year, in the prime of his life. He is the chief director of the capital's strange response department.
His father was a military man, his mother was a forensic doctor, and his grandfather's generation had fought in the war, so he was a well-educated man. After graduating from university, Si Zai joined the public security department and planned to devote his life to fighting crime.
Si Zai thought that he could find a job anywhere with his ability, from border defense to drug arrest to even joining the armed forces. However, just one month ago, an unexpected job transfer occurred.
After a promotion, he became the general manager of a new department and even had the power to manage other provincial capitals. However, the enemies he faced were not even human beings.
In fact, as long as he can protect his country, he can do anything.
But that being said…
"How to deal with weird things?" Si Zai asked his adjutant puzzledly.
Adjutant Nong Xiangming was typing away on his notebook. Hearing this, he casually said, "Just rush and it'll be done."
Si Zai nodded: "Indeed, we have a permit to carry firearms and can use armed force, but... can that thing be solved with a gun?"
Nong Xiangming continued to type: "It doesn't matter. If you die on the front line, I, your sister-in-law, will take care of you."
Si Zai: "Hey, I'm serious. You're still taking care of me, be careful or I'll tell your wife."
"Just a joke." Nong Xiangming stopped typing, took a sip from the cup of water on the table and said, "The weird website open to the public has already posted the newly added information."
"There aren't many people in the new department." Si Zai laid on the table. "They said they would promote me to be the director. At that time, I thought, this is the capital, the chief director of the capital, how could such a prestigious position be mine? So that's how it is, the strange response department, a new department, with few people, everything is groping in the dark. It's more dangerous than being a firefighter. Of course, I have no objection to the danger. How could it be harder than catching drugs on the front line? I'm just afraid that I won't do a good job, I won't understand anything, I won't know anything, and I won't be able to protect anything."
"The news from Heng City has been sent." Nong Xiangming ignored Si Zai's mournful words, "Minister Yu of Heng City's Strange Response Department has submitted information about the strange little girl, the Faceless Child. There is also a video."
Si Zai was still lying on the table listlessly: "Oh, the ones from the live broadcast, right? I have them here too. I've watched them over and over again so many times that I'm about to get sick of them."
"It's not a recording of the weird live broadcast. It's a surveillance video in the department's lounge." Nong Xiangming said, "Minister Yu met the weird girl, the faceless child, in the park. After playing games with her, he took the weird girl to the weird response department. Minister Yu meant that if the faceless child is not particularly dangerous, she should be kept in the department in Heng City."
Si Zai immediately sat up straight and moved to the notebook. Nong Xiangming immediately opened the video and clicked play. The images and sounds in the surveillance were very clear, from the little girl entering the lounge and starting to play the ball, to Minister Yu appearing and talking to the little girl. The video ended with a member of the department entering the lounge with a pot of soup, and the little girl drinking the soup.
Si Zai's expression was very serious. He stroked his chin and said, "Write down their conversation and let Xiao Qin and the others analyze it carefully."
"Also, did Minister Yu... go to war? What happened to his arms and eyes?"
Nong Xiangming read the report carefully: "When playing a game with the faceless child, he fell down the small slide in the park in order to win. His arm was fractured and his eyelid was injured, but fortunately he did not go blind."
"Really?" Si Zai sighed, "Even if she's just a weird little girl, she's not that easy to deal with."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the office rang. Si Zai stepped forward and answered the call. After a while, his face changed and he said, "Okay, I'll go there myself."
Then he hung up the phone.
Nong Xiangming in the office looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Someone called and claimed to have seen something strange." Si Zai walked to the clothes rack, took down his coat and put it on.
Nong Xiangming: "We have received many calls like this. Either Oolong made a mistake or mistook the person wearing special effects makeup. Are you sure this is real?"
"It's true. All the people in the department went to investigate and suspected that it might be a real weirdo. And it can communicate. It's currently living in an old man's home. They didn't dare to contact it without permission, so they called me."
Nong Xiangming immediately stood up and closed his laptop: "I'll go with you."
"No, you stay. If anything happens to me, you can temporarily take over the position of minister." Si Zai said, "I will not bring too many people with me this time. It will be enough for me to go with Quan Li."
Nong Xiangming frowned slightly, and when he saw that Si Cai was not carrying any weapon, he immediately said, "At least bring your gun."
"No need." Si Zai waved his hands. "I think this thing is useless. Besides, our goal this time is to communicate with others. If they can talk, it means that they have the same thinking ability as us, and they are not the monsters that can only attack people in the live broadcast. Bringing weapons may not be useful, and they will think that we are here to threaten them, so it is better not to bring them."
"I'm leaving now." Si Zai waved his hand and said, "I'll send you the address when I get there. If we fail... you can handle the rest of the situation."
After saying that, he left the office, and Nong Xiangming was the only one left in the room. He rubbed his brows helplessly.

Bai Manman and Tong have been together for several days.
The young man with red vertical eyes completely treated the old man's home as his base camp. Bai Manman would see him every night after get off work. After seeing him for a long time, she was not as scared as before.
After observing for a long time, I have a little understanding of Tong.
Tong likes to eat meat, whether it is raw or cooked, as long as it is meat he will eat it.
Grains are barely acceptable, but very reluctantly. They must be eaten with meat, otherwise they will not be eaten.
I absolutely don't want to be a vegan. I won't touch anything that can be called a vegetable, whether it's cabbage, green peppers, or eggplant. If I accidentally swallow it with meat, I will spit it out in disgust.
He is curious about many things and likes to fiddle with some old items in the old man's house. He is confused about technological products, especially televisions. He asked Bai Manman several times how to drag the person out of the TV.
Bai Manman tried to explain it scientifically, but the boy looked confused. In the end, Bai Manman could only tell him that the people on TV were fake images and could not be pulled out.
Then Tong asked Bai Manman with a very scary smile: Where are the real them now?
The boy's expression was filled with bloodthirsty terror, and Bai Manman panicked and used "I don't know" to cover it up.
In fact, she knew a little bit. At least she knew that a handsome singer pointed out by Tong would start a concert somewhere, but she would never tell the boy.
If the boy goes on a killing spree, wouldn't she be an accomplice if she told him the time and place?
In addition, the boy is very destructive. When he is not sleeping, he likes to make trouble and destroy many things. Looking at him, Bai Manman inexplicably felt that she was seeing a husky that was destroying the house.
It looks even more like this when the boy is sharpening his claws on the back of a solid wood sofa.
Seeing the scratches left by the boy on the mahogany sofa, Bai Manman hoped that the old man would find them and chase the boy away. But she was also afraid that the boy would kill the old man in anger, so she was worried for several days.
Just when Bai Manman was confused and didn't know what to do, the live broadcast of Yinuo started, and Bai Manman immediately followed the live broadcast and chatted with people on the website forum. During the chat, someone posted a strange official website of the response department, saying that Utor's information was also posted there, and it was very detailed.
After Bai Manman opened the official website, she saw the red letter below indicating the phone number to call the police in case of any strange situation.
Bai Manman was always worried that Tong would suddenly go crazy and kill the old man and herself. She was always terrified. Finally, after seeing the phone call, she decided to report everything to the authorities and let them handle it.
The person on the other end of the phone said that a professional would be there to handle it soon.
But for two whole hours, Bai Manman didn't see any so-called official personnel, and she was very disappointed.
Thinking she was being fooled, she suddenly received a call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Ms. Bai Manman who reported the strange appearance before?" The man's voice on the other end of the phone sounded, "I am Si Zai, the director of the Strange Response Department. I am sorry to contact you just now. Before, members of our department verified the situation on their own, and now we believe that what you reported is a real strange thing. You said before that the strange man lived in the same house with you, right?"
Bai Manman was startled by the other party's title, and immediately said, "Yes, that old house is occupied by an old lady who has a little bit of... senility. She treats Tong as an ordinary teenager."
"Tong, the other party also has a name." Si Zai said, "Okay, I get it. Can you introduce me to Mr. Tong? We want to communicate with him up close."
Bai Manman was stunned: "Eh? Introduction? I..."
"Yes, you have talked to each other and you live under the same roof."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Bai Manman said, "Where shall we meet?"
"My colleagues and I are right at the door of the house you rented." Si Zai said.
Beside him, Quan Li, a newcomer in his early twenties, swallowed nervously. Like the director, he did not carry any weapons and felt very insecure at the moment.
