Chapter 138
The man in black didn't seem to want to argue with him. He nodded without noticing his bad tone and asked, "Is it her? If you are sure it is her, we will also invest our efforts to find her."
"yes."
"Thank you for your honesty. But why did you post secret codes in the city center to look for a little girl who has been missing for five years? Is she also your partner? This really puzzles me."
The man in black took out another file bag and handed it to Lu Jiamu.
Lu Jiamu took a few glances and found that the content of this file was strange compared to the previous one.
It reports on jungle poaching over a long period of time, from four years ago to this year, and every year there are several reports of wild animal carcasses found in the city's hunting ban area, suspected to have been electrocuted by poachers. It also encourages citizens to call the police immediately if they find anyone acting suspiciously in the woods.
All the reports in the file bag happened in the same area. Lu Jiamu looked at the map and felt that this place seemed not far from the dam.
It is clear that there is a great connection between the reports brought by the man in black.
That monster may have only recently started electrocuting people, but it had been around for a long time before that, mainly making a living by electrocuting small animals.
And this monster was most likely the missing math teacher when he was alive.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is this forest area next to the substation?"
The man in black nodded readily, "That's right. Thank you very much for the clues you provided on this matter, although you could have told me directly earlier. We have already started investigating this matter, and if you are interested, you can join us."
It turned out that he asked them questions just to test their reactions to Wei Xiaoyan. In fact, he had already determined that there was something wrong with the dam.
The man in black turned his gaze to Yu Leng and pointed at the back of his neck: "Besides, our base plans to equip everyone with this in the future."
So don’t even think about coming here again.
Yu Leng heard his subtext:?
I don't think I've ever taken the initiative to go there?
Just when Yu Leng was confused and didn't know what to say, the black man took out a small, glittering raincoat from his suitcase and said, "This is a product created thanks to you. The base has accelerated the research on the neutralization of psychics."
He waved to the little boy in the corner. The little boy hesitated for a moment, and then trotted over after getting everyone's consent.
The man in black quickly put the raincoat on him, put the hat on him, and then pulled the zipper all the way up to wrap the little boy tightly: "This zipper cannot be pulled down."
The boy was wearing a protective suit instead of a raincoat. He was not used to the plastic sheet blocking his vision, but he did not dare to zip it down.
"This isolation suit has the ability to block abnormal effects. As long as he stays in it, it will not seriously affect people outside."
After the explanation, the man in black began his official speech: "Sending this thing to you is, on the one hand, a recognition of our friendly cooperation, and on the other hand, it is out of the base's consideration for humanity. The base does not intend to forcibly recover him, so this isolation suit was designed for him to prevent him from wandering outside and harming the interests of other innocent people."
"But if you want to take him in, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities and supervise him in the future. Otherwise, the base has the right to reclaim him at any time."
Seeing that he took out such a good thing, the other two people's impression of him improved slightly.
"good."
Lu Jiamu was also very interested in this matter, so he asked: "The effect of your use in the base last time was quite good, can it be used to catch electromagnetic monsters this time?"
The man in black looked at him coldly. "We have only developed the technology to cover a small area of this energy field on something like clothes or a cover, but the anomaly will not come in on its own. As for the fixed-point launch, it is still under research, the accuracy is very inaccurate, and it can only be used within the scope of our own base, and you have seen the side effects. In fact, it is only one of the final means of dealing with our base when it loses control."
Lu Jiamu sighed in disappointment: "It would be great if you could make it into a weapon."
After explaining what he needed to explain, the man in black put away the briefcase, stood up with his briefcase, and prepared to leave: "We have issued a power outage notice throughout the city. We will go to the dam to release water for inspection tonight. If you are interested, you can come too."
Seeing that he seemed to be quite satisfied with his harvest today, Lu Jiamu asked before he left: "Since you have all decided not to recycle that unlucky guy, and have already made clothes to neutralize his negative impact on others, can you tell him where his previous home is? He really wants to go back and take a look."
Unexpectedly, the man in black had a good attitude in other matters today, but he was very determined on this matter and warned them seriously: "No. His family sent him to the base, which means they don't plan to accept him anymore. Don't make trouble for his life, and don't be too curious about such useless things."
Because of the bad reputation of the man in black, Coleman frowned when he heard this: "Actually, I don't know how others took the initiative to send them to the base. Did you take the initiative... cough, but I think that as normal parents, you will never abandon your children easily. And he is a human being, not a cat or a dog. You can't just throw him away because you think he is troublesome. It's very immoral for you to say that."
The man in black seemed to have no morals, so he would not be kidnapped by morality. He did not answer, but walked out with the suitcase in his hand. He said coldly, "His parents are just ordinary people, but this child is not ordinary. It is a good thing to separate them. You should not try to disturb the lives of ordinary people."
After the man in black finished speaking, the little boy secretly started crying in his beautiful, colorful raincoat because of his words.
But the man in black didn't react at all and left directly.
Coleman could only coax him through his raincoat: "He is a bad guy, we can't believe what he says."
Afraid that he would cry to death in his raincoat, Lu Jiamu smiled and went over to comfort him: "Now that we have a little raincoat, we are not unlucky anymore."
The three of them worked together to coax the boy for a long time, and after they asked the little boy to help him find his mother and promised him many good things in the future, the little boy was finally coaxed and sat on the sofa wearing his raincoat.
Seeing that he was getting better, Coleman asked, "Do you want to go and see him?"
Lu Jiamu had already stood up: "Of course."
Although the man in black said that the water would be released at night, by the time the three people took a taxi to the dam, the water had already begun to be slowly released.
There were several trucks and construction vehicles parked on the shore, and many people in black work clothes with stern faces were patrolling back and forth on the dam.
Noticing their arrival, only a few people took a quick look, but quickly looked away and didn't say anything.
Beside the small dam, there are many old buildings built against the mountain. When seeing the dam releasing water, many passers-by have begun to look around curiously.
Noticing these gazes, the field staff of the base soon climbed up to negotiate with them. No one knew what they said, but those people quickly withdrew their curious gazes and went home obediently.
The three of them looked at each other, Kou Man picked up Lu Jiamu and Yu Leng, and began to climb up the mountain. They planned to chat with the residents and find out their thoughts while the water was still running, so as to learn more about Wei Xiaoyan.
Although many elderly residents were sent away by field staff, they did not go home and were gathering downstairs to gossip.
Lu Jiamu listened for a while and then joined in, pretending to be curious and asking: "Uncle, why are there so many people around the dam today? And the water was suddenly released."
The old man and old woman sitting downstairs saw that they were a few unfamiliar handsome young people, and their enthusiasm for gossiping increased a lot.
The old man who was being addressed shook his head in a deep and mysterious manner: "I don't know, I don't know."
But soon, other people started talking about this gossip: "Hey, you young people from outside don't know about that incident. It was a big deal back then."
"A teacher died here before, and his body was thrown into the dam. It was a sin, and it has not been found until now."
"No one is found alive, and no body is found dead. He is still considered missing. I think we should start the search again in the next two days."
"He is also a responsible and good teacher. If he can really fish it out, it will be a good deed."
Amidst the sighs and lamentations, the gossip became more and more heated and more and more bizarre.
Lu Jiamu listened carefully at the front and occasionally interjected a word or two, while Yu Leng secretly circled behind the group of old people, selecting the ones who seemed to know the most and reading their memories.
But people of this age usually have complicated and confused memories. Yu Leng started to look pale as soon as he came into contact with the two old men.
Lu Jiamu was afraid that he had not figured out the situation, so he asked the elderly people again: "I seem to have heard a little about this matter, but I was studying in another province at the time and didn't go out of my way to find out... The student must have had a family, right? Where did his family go? Their daughter is missing, and they haven't said anything."
One of the elderly people who had not said much before showed disdain on his face: "That family? They are all abnormal, as if they have been possessed by evil spirits. I was their neighbor at the time. I don't know where they picked up rags every day. It was smelly and very noisy at night. I couldn't stand living next to them so I moved away. Later I heard that they moved into the mountains. I think that teacher might have been harmed by them, but unfortunately I have no evidence, alas."
Hearing the old man say this, Yu Leng endured the pain in his head that felt like it was about to explode, searched his mind, and then winked at Lu Jiamu.
Lu Jiamu immediately took the initiative to say goodbye to the group of elderly people.
On the way down the mountain, Yu Leng whispered, "That family is indeed not normal, and they have already gone into the mountains. No one has seen them come out. It's a bit troublesome."
It took them a lot of time to climb the mountain back and forth, and when they came down, the water level of the dam had dropped visibly.
There were already a few people wearing strange diving suits waiting on the shore, but all of them just stared at the water with a stern face, and no one dared to go into the water rashly.
After a while, someone threw a fluorescent stick into the water.
With the leader taking the lead, other people guarding the shore also threw glow sticks into the water.
Under the eerie yellow-green fluorescent lighting, one could vaguely see a huge mass of unknown substance floating quietly in the water.
