Chapter 181
With no time to rest, the team leader led them back to the blocked fourth floor of the hospital.
According to surveillance footage and eyewitnesses, at 2:20 a.m., the two suspects, who had gone insane during the day, suddenly became agitated, roaring like wild beasts and banging on the door, trying to leave the room.
The nurse on duty didn't know what was going on. She opened the door and wanted to check the situation and comfort the two people, but she was scratched directly. Then, in just a dozen seconds, the nurse's movements became strange, and she followed the two people and rushed towards other people on the same floor.
Without understanding the situation, many people were "infected", making the attack team even stronger. During this period, they showed more of an aimless attack state. If a target was discovered but quickly left their sight, they would be able to avoid the attack.
But after they met Yu Fu, this state changed - they began to become extremely agitated, just like the living dead in a zombie movie meeting flesh and blood, and chased Yu Fu frantically.
From the surveillance footage, we can see that Yu Fu, who had a disabled leg, was so frightened that he ran very fast, even leaving those people behind. He eventually came to Su Xingyuan's ward, and was taken in by the black-haired boy.
"Su Xingyuan did not hesitate when he opened the door for Yu Fu. Was it out of kindness, or...?"
A colleague raised a question.
Officer Liu said calmly: "Judging from his behavior, this is obviously the least likely scenario."
Either Su Xingyuan already knew what was going to happen, or he had absolute confidence that he could handle whatever happened next.
No matter which possibility it is, it is difficult to look at it positively.
"Is there anything on Yu Fu that could attract those people?" Officer Liu frowned and asked, "Should we examine Yu Fu again?"
Whether from the surveillance or the scene, there seems to be no signs of tampering. If this incident was caused by drugs, then how did Su Xingyuan, or Ruan Tiexin, guide the actions of those people?
This unexplainable feeling is unsettling.
If the people present and the higher-ups did not firmly believe that there is no such thing as supernatural powers in the world and that all supernatural phenomena must have reasons behind them, I'm afraid that the higher-ups would have asked for the investigation to be terminated by now - after all, no one wants to be an enemy of someone with supernatural powers. Even if they wanted to investigate, it couldn't be done openly, and it would be even more impossible for ordinary police officers like them to investigate.
"How is Ruan Tiexin doing now?" asked the team leader.
"When it comes to this matter, he still has the attitude of knowing nothing and is very silent when not asked."
"Silence?... Try putting her and Su Xingyuan together and see if you can see anything else."
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Ruan Tiexin sat in front of Su Xingyuan.
Compared to before, she was even more silent, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. When he saw Su Xingyuan, he seemed to have suddenly broken free from some illusion, and his whole expression instantly changed.
Although it was a subtle change in expression, the difference was enough to be noticed by every police officer who was watching them closely, trying to find some clues.
[Progress: 14%]
Su Xingyuan was very friendly towards Ruan Tiexin.
After all, from the beginning to now, he basically did nothing, but Ruan Tiexin pushed the progress to double digits by himself, and even used his own abilities to find a new companion who was easier to awaken than others.
Su Xingyuan himself was in the building when the hospital attack happened. How could he not know what happened? However, after checking the situation, he quickly realized that Ruan Tiexin was not completely evil and wanted to kill other people, but was taking this opportunity to find his companions, which was more proof of her guess.
At the same time, she was also very clear that only strong stimulation could wake up her companion.
She should be able to create puppets, enhance the puppets' combat capabilities to a certain extent, and control the puppets' actions through commands. If nothing unexpected happens, her instruction to the puppets this time should be "bring humans with magical powers."
Because Yu Fu was also involved, Su Xingyuan learned that his leg injury was caused by a car accident. The scene of the car accident was very horrifying. A dump truck rushed over and crushed the car that Yu Fu was in into a meat pie. However, at the moment when the car rushed over out of control, Yu Fu seemed to have sensed something and jumped out of the car desperately to escape.
In the end, he only broke his leg and had a slight concussion.
It is very likely that at that time, the dormant magic power in his body awakened for a moment, and in this incident, it was captured by Ruan Tiexin's puppet.
As for why those people were so crazy later...
Yu Fu probably didn't expect that the person living in the room he picked at random was Su Xingyuan, who was wearing a lot of magic accessories and did not deliberately conceal his magic aura?
"Did you sleep well last night?" Su Xingyuan greeted in a friendly manner.
"Not very good." Ruan Tiexin shook his head and said slowly: "I had a lot of dreams... I was dreaming all night. As long as I closed my eyes, I was dreaming."
"You must have been frightened by the chaos outside." The black-haired boy was very understanding and soothed him, "This is unavoidable. Yu Fu probably didn't sleep a wink all night."
When the name Yu Fu was mentioned, Ruan Tiexin's expression changed further.
Su Xingyuan did not disturb her thoughts, but just smiled quietly, as if he mentioned Yu Fu completely unintentionally.
"Yu Fu is indeed special." Officer Liu said in a deep voice: "Does he really have no connection with Ruan Tiexin?"
Su Xingyuan has no traces of social life, but there are some traces that can be found from the birth of Ruan Tiexin to the present, which can be checked in detail.
"No, their past lives are completely unrelated, and they don't know anyone in common. They are completely two parallel lines." The young police officer sighed, looking at the black-haired boy on the other side of the one-way glass, and felt a trace of coldness. He couldn't help but say: "Speaking of Su Xingyuan's expression..."
This kind of tolerance and forgiveness, as if a smile looking down from a higher dimension... is simply chilling.
"He really has a part-time job, right?"
For example, the Pope who is a demagogue in a secret sect.
[Progress: 20%]
Ruan Tiexin came out of his contemplation.
“I see,” she said.
The expressions of the police officers in the observation room suddenly became tense: "Wait, what did she understand? What did she just think of?"
Obviously, Ruan Tiexin didn't feel the police officers were frantic. She seemed to feel that her coming here had delayed the black-haired boy's time. She said very respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su Xingyuan."
Police officers: “…”
Who would be respectful to strangers for no reason? Even if he is your savior, you wouldn't treat him like your life mentor or savior, right? What was wrong was almost slapping them in the face!
But what’s frustrating is that there’s absolutely no way to get anything out of their mouths, and there’s nothing at the scene that can be used as evidence. Without substantial evidence, no one can do anything to them, even though there are so many suspicious points about them that they seem to pile up into a mountain.
Finally, after many days of negotiation and efforts, the police had to classify the incident as an unsolved case, and the suspect successfully returned to real life, bidding farewell to the police station that he had become very familiar with in the past few days.
——Except Suxingyuan.
