Chapter 140
The man in black nodded, looking as if he just wanted to ask a simple question and had no other intention of testing.
A voice came from their walkie-talkie, someone coldly explaining the monitoring of abnormal electricity and dispatching vehicles to different locations.
After retching a few times, Coleman recovered and sat down as well.
The driver followed the walkie-talkie and drove into the city. His driving skills seemed thrilling, but in fact he was as steady as an old dog and he never really flipped over during the whole journey.
This was a rare opportunity, so Lu Jiamu encouraged himself to stand up and watch his driving skills.
At this time, the whole city was already dark. However, since the power outage notice had been posted in the afternoon, the residents had ample time to prepare, so there were no panicked pedestrians on the road. This made their journey even more comfortable.
The man in black seemed to have forgotten their previous conflict and said seriously, "When we start the operation later, you can watch from the sidelines, but don't go too far. Otherwise, we will not be responsible if any accidents happen."
The three people had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs, so they nodded to indicate that he should not have unnecessary concerns.
The intercom eventually led them to an old residential building.
The team members in the car did not need to be reminded. They quickly took their equipment and got out of the car quietly.
At this moment, in a room in the community, a small cluster of electric light flowed in along the electrical wires and quickly merged into the TV in the living room.
The TV screen, which was originally pitch black, suddenly lit up, and snowflakes flickered strangely. The snowflakes twisted and twisted, and finally formed a strange face that was hard to tell whether it was a horse or a deer.
It seemed to look around across the screen, and then showed a malicious smile like a human.
And the little girl who was sleeping in the next room seemed to hear the sounds of cartoons in her daze.
The little girl covered her ears and turned over, but the sound of the cartoon still continued to come into her ears, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.
The little girl could only rub her eyes, get up, turn on the flashlight, and run to the living room.
She saw that in the empty living room, the TV had been turned on at some point, and her favorite cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants, was playing on it.
The little girl was very confused when she saw this scene: Didn’t her mother tell her that there would be a power outage today, so she couldn’t watch cartoons at night? Was her mother lying to her?
Or is the call coming again?
The little girl was worried that the sound of the TV would wake up her parents and make them think that she was still watching TV so late, so she immediately picked up the remote control and tried to turn off the TV.
But she pressed it several times and the TV screen remained on.
What's going on? Is the remote broken? Or...
In addition to being worried and scared, the little girl couldn't resist the temptation of the cartoon and wanted to secretly watch it for a while. This was the episode that her mother didn't let her watch because her mother said there was a power outage.
On the screen, SpongeBob was also dancing with a small fishing net, and excitedly and sharply shouted to someone outside the screen: "Let's watch TV together! Let's watch TV together!"
Let’s watch TV…
Because she hadn't watched this episode yet, the little girl didn't realize that what was being broadcast on TV was not a cartoon at all.
She just felt that SpongeBob seemed to be crazier than usual. And for some reason, his friends were all out of the screen. But the little girl didn't understand why.
But the temptation of cartoons was too great, and the TV couldn't be turned off, so the little girl began to waver.
Why don't you watch TV for a while? Don't tell mom about this yet.
As the little girl sat down on the sofa, the "SpongeBob SquarePants" on the TV gradually restrained his enthusiastic appearance, and his entire yellow square face became gray and gloomy.
It put down its hand holding the small net, its eyes moved, it turned its head coldly to look at the little girl, and suddenly said: "So the playful bad child is here. Hehe..."
The character in the cartoon suddenly looked directly at her, and the little girl instinctively felt her scalp tingling.
In the dark room, this "SpongeBob SquarePants" looks particularly scary.
Its ugly expression was reflected on the little girl’s face: [Hehehehe… Do you know that playful children will be punished?]
The little girl wanted to scream and run away, but suddenly she found that there seemed to be some kind of suction on the TV, pressing her towards the cartoon character.
She felt her limbs go numb and she could hardly make any sound.
The cartoon character was still staring at her and grinning: [Bad boy, there will be punishment~]
I am not! I am not playful! ...Someone come and save me!
The little girl had a premonition of death and fell into a helpless despair. She regretted not telling her mother that the TV was on.
At this moment, the balcony window was suddenly opened from the outside. In the darkness, two people could be vaguely seen coming down from upstairs and quickly entering the room.
In the dark room, only the TV was emitting a pale light, which the two people noticed as soon as they arrived on this floor.
One of them was holding a net, and before the monster in the TV could react, he quickly covered the TV with it, and the other one simply pulled out the power line.
There was an immediate burst of screaming sounds coming from the TV, and the entire screen went black again. The little girl successfully broke free from her restraints.
The two men collected the net and put the TV into the net bag. Without saying a word, they climbed out of the balcony window.
All this happened in just a few seconds, and the only person left in the room was the bewildered little girl, sitting on the ground.
The feeling of near death just now was so clear that she was so scared that she couldn't even cry. But now everything in the room was normal, and it seemed as if it was just a nightmare.
Downstairs, SpongeBob's demonic voice briefly came from the intercom, foreshadowing the arrival of the monster.
Lu Jiamu squinted and observed them.
Although it was pitch black all around, with the help of the moonlight he could still see two team members hanging from the roof to the window of someone else's house and climbing in.
Then, within a few moments, they came out again, holding something from someone else's house, and came down quickly, obviously having gotten it. They were well-trained, and they took it and ran away, and the whole process was very fast.
"It looks like a big deal." Lu Jiamu asked, "The witness is still alive. How are you going to explain it tomorrow?"
"No need to explain. Children tend to associate strange things with things, and they are prone to nightmares or something." The man in black was smoking a cigarette, and when he heard his question, he looked at him a little strangely, and answered very familiarly, "If something was stolen from your home, just call the police. What explanation do you need?"
Can you explain why you don’t install anti-theft nets?
Lu Jiamu nodded and praised him half-seriously: "You really do good things without leaving a name."
The man in black said vaguely, "It should be."
"That's your usual style."
Seeing that the operation over there was going smoothly, if they could capture all the clones of the Electromagnetic King, even if they completely contained the Electromagnetic King, apart from having to get rid of them later to help find Wei Xiaoyan, they would not have many opportunities to interact with each other.
Lu Jiamu took the time to ask a question that he had always been curious about: "But I am curious, why do you like to hide these weird things so much? Is it good for you?"
"No." The man in black paused. But he was not reluctant to answer such simple questions in his spare time. "It's just that most people don't like to know such things. It's our job to prevent people from seeing things they don't like."
"And one person knowing it is not the same as everyone knowing it."
While they were chatting, the two team members who had rappelled down from the roof had already run back with the TV, and the other teammates who were waiting in the corridor had also returned to the car.
Time is life, and everyone immediately got in the car and drove away.
After receiving their response, the walkie-talkie immediately gave the new target location.
In the car, everyone threw the TV into a large glass container.
Visibly, a monster with a horse face crawled out from the screen and moved back and forth in the container.
Someone brought tools and carefully separated the monster and the TV, then used a partition to separate the two and took the TV out.
The vehicle continued to follow the instructions on the intercom and captured three more monsters along the way. The team members locked up the captured monsters together.
The monsters were crowded in the container in chaos, sticky and disgusted with each other, yet they squirmed chaotically towards each other, as if hoping to merge into one.
After completing its mission, the vehicle drove back to the dam.
By daybreak, the crisis had been resolved and the other vehicles had returned to the dam.
All the monsters were captured and contained under their witness, and their mission this time was over. However, no light gate appeared in the distance.
The man in black got out of the car and began to check the spoils of other cars.
He used a special stick to reach deep into the container and stirred it vigorously from side to side.
The slimy monsters were disturbed and extremely angry, surging in the container, and different faces appeared one after another in the rotten flesh.
The man in black picked carefully and came back with a bad look on his face: "We didn't catch them all, there are more outside."
Lu Jiamu asked: "Why didn't you catch all of them?"
The man in black then explained: "I looked around, but I didn't see the face of the middle-aged man who died."
They caught at least one less, and they didn't know where the other party was hiding and had not been discovered.
But now that day had broken, the whole city was ready to restore power, and it was likely that it would soon be able to hide in the city's power grid.
