Sequelae
"Why not force your way out of Kaleidoscope with our help?"
After waking up, Chen Yingsheng first faced the angry Old Wang.
She tried to defend herself: "Rule Five—"
Lao Wang interrupted her: "Are you sure that the fifth rule must be exactly the same as your reasoning?"
Chen Yingsheng wanted to answer that she was sure, she was so confident in herself. But Lao Wang was so angry that he was like a pufferfish, so she just shook her head and didn't dare to say anything more.
Lao Wang was almost mad: "You are so disorganized and undisciplined. What did I tell you before you entered the kaleidoscope that you were inside..."
Li Ying quickly said: "Saving people is the most important thing, Ah Ku is still waiting."
Zuo Xufei destroyed an entire floor of the inpatient building of Danjiang Anding Hospital, and the patients were transferred to other hospitals. Due to special circumstances, A Ku was given a ward directly in the Super Management Bureau.
Lorena was with her.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Lolina began to count.
It only takes 8 minutes to count from 1 to 500, but these short 8 minutes are the result of 6 days of joint efforts by everyone.
Ah Ku's eyelids on the hospital bed trembled slightly.
Everyone stared at her with bated breath.
A Ku slowly opened her eyes and said hesitantly: "......Lina"
Lolina excitedly held Aku's hand and spoke a lot of incoherent words.
Until the nurse from Anding Hospital asked her to leave.
Chen Yingsheng and Zuo Xufei were standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window chatting, and when they saw her, they immediately waved to her.
It was dusk, the whole world was covered by sunset glow, and the twilight was gilded on them. Chen Yingsheng was as sharp as a sword, Zuo Xufei was as firm as a tower, and neither of them could be associated with the word "gentle".
But Lolina just felt that they were as gentle under the orange-red sunset as the setting sun in the sky.
She walked over and said thank you first: "Thank you, thank you to everyone who helped us."
Zuo Xufei smiled: "Don't thank me."
Just like Wang Ruibin told Lolina not to apologize.
“This is something we must do within our responsibilities.”
Lolina looked down at the vamp, and she mustered up the courage to say, "I've seen a short video of He Fengcui, no, it's He Cuifeng."
"That angle doesn't look like surveillance, it's more like a personal experience. Is there a superpower that can read people's memories?"
"I don't know." Chen Yingsheng was a cunning adult, "I'm just an ordinary detective."
High school student Lolina knew that this was an indirect admission, and Chen Yingsheng could not tell her the truth.
Zuo Xufei suggested: "Since you want to know so much, why don't you go back to school and try to apply for the police academy?"
"The new major at Danjiang Police College is called Superpower Criminology."
"I... No, I don't really want to know." Lolina asked in a low voice, "Have you seen my mother's memory?"
Chen Yingsheng guessed what Lolina wanted to ask.
Lolina raised her head and said: "Aku, has she never thought about having a child?"
"She didn't say whether she wanted it or not."
The silent Zuo Xufei moved his body and looked at Lolina nervously.
"But she said she wanted to be a big tree." Chen Yingsheng smiled, "Lina, her wish has been fulfilled since the moment she gave birth to you."
Tears rolled down Lolina's eyes.
Zuo Xufei protested: "Hey, you made me cry."
"Don't cry, be strong." Chen Yingsheng didn't comfort her, "There are still many problems that need to be solved by you later. Ah Ku's identity is the first problem."
Lolina really stopped crying. She looked at Chen Yingsheng blankly.
Chen Yingsheng said patiently: "A Ku is not a citizen of our country. She has lived under someone else's identity for many years. This problem must be resolved."
"what to do"
"I'm not an expert in this area. Let me introduce you to a lawyer. You can try talking to him."
Chen Yingsheng gave her Zhuge Yanmiao's phone number.
"Don't worry, everything will get better slowly."
Lolina took the phone number and left first.
Chen Yingsheng leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the crowd of media at the entrance of the Super Management Bureau.
The media were like hyenas. They spontaneously linked the outbreak of infectious mental illness at the Normal University and the fierce battle at the Municipal Anding Hospital, and were certain that these incidents were related to the pseudo-human test.
Several police officers appeared downstairs to evacuate the crowd, and the media's cameras were immediately aimed at them.
"An autistic person was abducted. Has anyone identified the suspect?"
"Can you tell us the specific reasons why the patient's parents were detained? Will this affect the search for autistic patients?"
Chen Yingsheng then remembered that He Kang's parents were still in detention, and He Cuifeng's poems had never had the opportunity to be shown to someone who understood them.
She asked: "Where are He Dayong and Zhang Xiaona?"
"In the interrogation room, when they heard that He Kang was abducted, they were uncontrollably overjoyed at first, then a little sad. The sadness didn't last long, and they quickly used this as an excuse to exonerate themselves. Then they suddenly said that it was our responsibility that their son was abducted, and they cried and made a fuss, demanding compensation."
"It's really tiring to act out this set of scenes." Chen Yingsheng sighed sincerely.
"Everything I experienced in the kaleidoscope can be used as evidence." Zuo Xufei said, "Old Wang has already contacted the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and they will take over the case of He Dayong and Zhang Xiaona murdering their child."
The case does not involve super powers and is not under the jurisdiction of the Superpowers Management Bureau, but the couple will definitely receive the punishment they deserve.
He Kang's whereabouts are still unknown.
Chen Yingsheng was a little depressed. In the end, she was only one step away from the truth.
Zuo Xufei comforted her: "You have done enough for He Kang and A Ku."
Chen Yingsheng knew what he wanted to say, but what she needed was not only the truth about the victim, she also needed a mysterious, huge truth without origin.
She doesn't even know what the truth is that she needs.
She sometimes felt that she was torturing herself, and that the torment began after her mother's death. After Chen Tu's death, the torment became more severe.
The crowd downstairs has been evacuated. The police said that an official document will be issued tomorrow to explain the situation, and that specialists will be available to answer reporters' questions.
The media moved aside contentedly, and a modified prison van drove into the Super Management Bureau.
"The specifications are high enough." Chen Yingsheng looked at the police car following the prison van and gave an objective evaluation.
A detention center specifically for detaining superpower criminals is built next to the Superpower Management Bureau.
The city's most powerful super-powered detectives gather here. There is no place safer than the detention center.
Zuo Xufei said: "The specifications are high, but the suspects being escorted do not have super powers."
A 12-line ancient poem flashed vaguely in her mind, and she blurted out: "He Cuifeng"
"Yes, that's her."
Further interrogation of He Cuifeng was the business of the Super Management Bureau. There was no point for Chen Yingsheng to stay here. She said, "I'm leaving first. Please tell Lao Wang for me."
She fished the car keys from her windbreaker pocket.
Zuo Xufei heard the keys jingling, and he said awkwardly: "Your car..."
Chen Yingsheng looked up at him.
"A media reporter flew a drone into the yard. The gatekeeper, Old Zhou, spotted him and fled in a hurry. The drone crashed into your car."
A reporter who values money over life. Chen Yingsheng stood expressionlessly in the yard looking at his car, the front windshield of which was shattered like a spider web.
She took a deep breath, called the 4S shop, and asked someone to drive the car directly to the shop for repair. She took a taxi home to sleep, and she would talk about the insurance compensation and He Cuifeng's poem after she woke up.
Having said that, she still sent a message to an old customer before going to bed, briefly explaining Shi's situation and making an appointment to visit her the next day.
The old customer didn't reply to her message, so she fell into a deep sleep holding her phone.
The burning white-haired girl appeared in his dream. Chen Yingsheng admired her from afar and didn't want to disturb her.
The girl is always beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that is directly instilled into the mind. Her image is directly related to the "beauty" in human cognition, so much so that when Chen Yingsheng saw her, he couldn't think of the second word.
What is she looking down at?
Chen Yingsheng looked around curiously and realized that this was the rooftop of Yanqu No. 1 Middle School.
It turned out that she was watching Wanting, and Chen Yingsheng decided to watch it with her.
As Chen Yingsheng got closer, the white-haired girl suddenly looked up in panic with an expression of extreme resistance.
Doesn’t she want me to see it? Chen Yingsheng couldn’t help but lower his head.
The body on the ground was not Wanting, but Wen Yuan's. At this moment, Wen Yuan and Zhao Wanting in the ghost story overlapped infinitely.
Chen Yingsheng seemed to have returned to the time when she was 5 years old, and Wen Yuan jumped down in front of her easily.
Who is Wen Yuan? Chen Yingsheng asked and answered himself as if he was playing a game.
She seemed like a little girl playing with herself, and answered herself with a smile: Wenyuan is my mother.
It was strange that Chen Yingsheng had been numb and insensitive to Wen Yuan's death. She sometimes felt like a cold-blooded animal.
Chen Tu took her to see a psychiatrist, who explained that the blow was too great and the brain automatically blocked emotions to protect the body.
Chen Yingsheng recalled the sense of déjà vu brought by Wanting's death in the ghost story, and she realized belatedly that she was protected by a kaleidoscope.
The kaleidoscope blocked her memory, preventing her from being disturbed by Wan Ting's death and triggering memories of her mother.
Its protection is really meaningless. Chen Yingsheng looked at the woman on the ground, feeling strange yet familiar.
After watching for a long time, she felt bored, so she simply found a clean place on the rooftop, lay down and closed her eyes.
The white-haired girl poked her shoulder gently and looked at her worriedly.
"I want to sleep."
Chen Yingsheng explained that she fell into a deep sleep again.
Chen Yingsheng slowly woke up at noon the next day. She slept until her bones became weak and she almost forgot how to walk.
After a quick wash in the master bedroom bathroom, Chen Yingsheng went downstairs.
All the curtains on the first floor of the office were drawn, and only the desk lamp on the reception room desk was on. A poop puppet was sleeping on a book.
Chen Yingsheng felt that feeling of frustration and boredom again, and on top of that, there was a sudden panic.
She is still in the kaleidoscope.
Chen Yingsheng kicked off her slippers and ran to her desk, where she pulled the book out from under the cat's belly. She knew what she would read, and she was both scared and excited.
She was afraid because she was afraid of being left in the kaleidoscope forever, and she was looking forward to it because she was always confident in her intuition.
The words on the book came into view.
[The seafarer talks about Yingzhou, but the truth is hard to find in the misty waves. ]
Chen Yingsheng closed the book.
It’s “Dream-walking Tianlao Chanting Farewell”, a Chinese textbook by Chen Fanfan, not the novel describing her.
She entered into five ghost stories in just six days, and was forced to recall her real name in the last one, leaving her with some minor sequelae.
The poop puppet meowed in protest, and Chen Fanfan's voice came from the kitchen.
"You woke up"
Chen Yingsheng put on his slippers: "Why are you pulling the curtains?"
"Your office is surrounded by reporters."
Chen Yingsheng opened the curtains a little, and flash lights immediately came on outside.
The aroma of beef wafted from the direction of the kitchen, and Chen Fanfan came out carrying a pot of tomato beef brisket.
“Don’t ask me why I don’t go to school”
Chen Yingsheng chewed the beef and asked cooperatively: "Why didn't you go to school today?"
"Because the author does not need the characters in the novel to go to school." Chen Fanfan replied.
