Chapter 240 The Weird Asylum
Chapter 240 The Weird Asylum
The four of them hastily cleaned up the battlefield, erased everything that might reveal the existence of the containment, and left in a hurry. As for the rest of the follow-up, other people will naturally take over.
Icy, shaking!
Guan Siyu felt the bone-chilling cold all over her body. She wanted to curl up, but she couldn't move.
She really wanted to just fall asleep like this, but the constant shaking around her pulled her back to the brink of half-sleep and half-awake again and again.
As time went by, this state of wanting to sleep and being unable to sleep continued, which made her usually good-tempered unavoidably feel unspeakably irritated. A voice kept whispering in her ear, as if wanting her to do something What, but she couldn't concentrate anyway, let alone hear what the voice said, which made her gradually become irritable.
Vaguely, those voices seemed to be clearer.
…………
"How about it, have you checked it out?"
"Well, it is indeed a rare and perfect containment body, just like that boy named He Wu, it is perfect, so perfect!"
"Doctor, your condition is very wrong, I think you should go for a comprehensive test."
"Hehe, Captain Song Yi, don't worry, I will conduct a comprehensive inspection every day. I am more worried about my state than you are, because if I lose control, the damage caused will be much higher than yours."
"..."
"Okay, this girl's heart is already close to red, do you want to wake her up?"
"how long it has been?"
"15 minutes, an amazing result, it's already rare to be able to last for such a long time for the first time, hehe!"
"Now that all the tests have been completed, let's wake her up, it's time to let her know the cruel truth of the world."
…………
Guan Siyu slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
After a moment's absence, her pupils suddenly narrowed, and she remembered the scene before she fell into a coma. She stood up suddenly, but fell to the ground directly due to excessive force.
The strange thing is that Guan Siyu who fell on the ground didn't seem to be in as much pain as she imagined, but she didn't notice this in her panic, but looked around anxiously, wanting to confirm the current situation.
This is obviously an infirmary, with a white bed and clean sheets, and she was ripped off by the flustered woman who was receiving an IV.
"So... so it was a dream? It must be because I was too tired from overtime work, so I had hallucinations! I passed out on the way home from get off work, was it discovered and rescued to the outpatient clinic?" Guan Siyu said to himself Comforting myself, at the same time, I couldn't help complaining, since this kind person wanted to save her, why didn't he take her to a large hospital? Blackmail him? !
Then she looked at the IV that had been ripped off, and wondered if she should call a nurse to put the needle back in.
At this moment, a figure in a black special combat uniform came in. Guan Siyu turned her head belatedly and looked at him, only to feel that the other person seemed familiar, but she really didn't know him.
Guan Siyu, who was thinking about whether the other party saved her and whether she should say something thankful, suddenly discovered that the other party made a movement that she had never thought of.
When Song Yi entered the infirmary, he saw a mess inside, and the girl who was possessed by a ghost stared at him blankly.
He frowned slightly, thinking in his heart that he must be stupid, right? !
Immediately, he picked up a thermos cup and threw it at Guan Siyu.
Guan Siyu's pupils shrank, and the thermos cup flew towards him at an extremely fast speed. Just by hearing the howling sound of breaking wind, he knew that once he was hit, he would definitely not feel better.
Before she had time to think about why the other party did this, almost subconsciously, the moment the thermos cup approached her, her right hand turned into an afterimage, and she caught it in her hand without any time, and then seemed to be the reason for being overly frightened, while waving the thermos cup in her hand, While shouting incoherently: "Don't come here, don't come here! Ahhh!"
Song Yi looked at Guan Siyu who was performing to his heart's content, silently waiting for the other party's reply.
After coming over for a while, Guan Siyu came back to his senses. Seeing that the other party didn't make any further moves, he stopped waving, and turned to look at the person at the door with a vigilant face. It can be seen from her slightly trembling body that she is now thinking of Terrible.
"The speed I threw out of the thermos just now is comparable to that of an ordinary pistol bullet. Given its mass, once it collides with other objects, the destructive power it will cause is much higher than that of a pistol." Song Yi said.
Guan Siyu still stared at Song Yi vigilantly. She heard what the other party said, but at this moment her mind was in a mess and she couldn't tell what the other party wanted to express.
"You can look at the thermos in your hand." Song Yi said again, but this time there was some helplessness in his tone.
She understood this Guan Siyu, she subconsciously looked at the thermos in her hand, um, it's just a normal thermos, except... except... it's a bit flatter? !
'Boom! ~'
The thermos cup in my hand fell to the ground, and it can be easily judged from the sound that it is an ordinary stainless steel thermos cup, not a beer can, but its current state is like after someone drank the beer inside. , The slender fingerprints on the cans that were crushed casually are clearly visible!
"This... this is...?!" Guan Siyu murmured in disbelief.
Song Yi didn't speak directly, but waited for Guan Siyu to come back to his senses before saying: "It seems that you are a little confused about your current state, then, let's talk, Miss Guan Siyu!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the infirmary, while Guan Siyu followed Song Yi silently.
…………
"What! Are there really ghosts in this world?!"
"What! You are the official department dedicated to catching ghosts?!"
"What! You caught ghosts in that unfinished building yesterday?!"
"What! It's been a day?! Then I'm already late?!"
"What! That ghost entered my body?! I'm extraordinary now?!"
Song Yi: ...
Looking at the picture of the startled little girl in front of him, Song Yi couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He also has enough headaches now. He thought that the other party would be more acceptable if he told the truth first, but he didn't expect this to be the end result.
"It's not a ghost, it's weird. Compared with the ghosts we know, there are still many differences." Song Yi corrected.
Guan Siyu showed a tangled look on his face, but he still asked the question he was most concerned about: "What do you mean that ghost... Weird has merged with me?"
"According to our research, the vast majority of weirdness cannot be killed directly, and only weirdness can fight against weirdness. Therefore, after the big countries in the world sensed the crisis of extinction, under the push of many powerful forces, weirdness was established. The Containment Bureau is a global organization, and the special department that Dongguo joins is called the Special Incident Management Action Team, or Special Operations Team for short.”
"The Weird Containment Bureau is actually jointly established by special families, sects, academies and other forces with extraordinary power in each country..."
Guan Siyu couldn't help exclaiming: "Extraordinary power?!"
Song Yi didn't care about the girl's interruption, and continued: "That's right, there have always been extraordinary existences in our world, but with the development of the times, they have all been hidden behind the scenes."
"It is because they are aware of the seriousness of the matter that they are able to unite and find a way to fight against the weirdness. Whenever they have new research, they will be the first to apply it to our big countries, and it is precisely because of the upper-level With our efforts, we can barely maintain the current situation.”
Guan Siyu opened her mouth, and originally wanted to ask why she didn't announce the truth, but after all, she is not a little girl who can only fantasize, and she immediately understood that once the truth is announced, chaos may erupt in an instant, and human beings have always been concerned about self-destruction. is allowed.
Seeming to see Guan Siyu's doubts, Song Yi explained: "There are many kinds of weirdness. We haven't found two identical weirdnesses yet, but many weirdnesses have the same characteristics."
"Some weirdnesses have unknowable characteristics, and their state of existence cannot be perceived by us, so they can kill people silently, and the powerful ones can even block our human cognition."
"For example, once they kill you, the traces of your existence will be fundamentally erased, and your parents, family members, relatives and friends will all forget your existence."
"And some are even more terrifying. Once you know and believe in the existence of the other party, it will observe you at the same time. No matter how far away you are, it can easily kill you."
"The reason why you didn't see any relevant news on the Internet is because you were blocked by us."
"Among all the methods of combating weirdness developed by the weird asylum, the method of merging weirdness is the most feasible, and the source of this technology is people like you, who are born with the physique to accommodate weirdness."
Looking at the silent girl in front of him, Song Yi couldn't bear it, but he still said: "The world is in danger, we need every strength, if you can, I hope you can join our special agency to deal with the weirdness together."
"Of course, if you really don't want to take risks, we will take out the weirdness in your body and cleanse your memory, so that you can return to your ordinary life again."
After ruthlessly saying the last sentence, Song Yi had already thrown away all his unbearable emotions.
In fact, he lied to Guan Siyu. For the perfect containment body, even in the Weird Containment Bureau, there is no way to separate it from the weirdness in the body. His last sentence is just a test of Guan Siyu. If he still refuses in this situation, it can be basically judged that his xinxing will not be able to fight against the madness accompanied by weirdness in the future. In this case, no matter how talented he is, there is no value in cultivating it.
If Guan Siyu chooses the latter, then her fate can only be a test bench, because as Song Yi said, the world has really reached the most dangerous edge, and no power should be wasted, including experimental materials!
At this time, Guan Siyu was fighting between heaven and man. Although she had occasionally fantasized about mastering extraordinary power and becoming a hero, she still couldn't make up her mind when something really happened. She just thought about the need to fight and kill in the future Seeing the killing scene, she felt a little shuddering. It might be good if she could treat everything as if it never happened.
While Guan Siyu kept thinking, Song Yi's heart became more and more heavy. As he said, unsteady thoughts cannot curb the spread of madness. Thinking for so long has already explained the problem.
Just when Song Yi made up his mind to give up Guan Siyu, just when Guan Siyu made up his mind to return to peace.
Suddenly, Guan Siyu asked, "What about my family?"
Song Yi was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then came to his senses. If Guan Siyu had been struggling with this question, it could not be regarded as being unsteady in his thinking. According to his investigation, the latter had both parents and a younger brother, a family of four Feelings have been very good.
"If you join us, your family will receive the most comprehensive protection!" Song Yi said seriously.
This is necessary. The affection between family members is also the best weapon against madness. Of course, the country will do its best to protect the relatives of these accommodated persons.
Guan Siyu seemed to be a little confused.
Song Yi continued: "Don't worry, as long as you join us, your monthly salary will be at least this amount..." As he spoke, he held out a finger.
"Ten thousand?!" Unknowingly, Guan Siyu's voice changed a bit.
You must know that even in Linhai City, a city on the eastern border, the average salary is not more than 3000, and the place where she works, because the internship period has not yet passed, the sum of zero and zero is only about [-] per month. , if you can get [-] a month by joining the special task force, it seems that it is not impossible to consider.
"One hundred thousand, every month, and there are additional subsidies and reimbursement quotas for each mission, and a bonus will be given at the end of the year based on the performance of the whole year, and this bonus is at least twice your annual salary plus subsidies. "
After Song Yi finished speaking, he showed a gratified smile, so that your family can live a good life, and you can have no worries.
He has completely fallen into the other party's hesitation, all because he can't get out of the vicious circle of thinking about his family.
When Guan Siyu heard the number Song Yi said, his head was already buzzing, filled with three words.
Get rich!Get rich!Get rich!Get rich!Get rich! ...
"I agree to join the Secret Service, for the sake of mankind, it is my duty!"
Guan Siyu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was solemn and firm.
Song Yi showed a gratified smile, feeling that he had found another boy like He Wu.
"Very good, since that's the case, this month you should do some basic exercises first, and by the way, follow us for some hands-on training. After a month, the headquarters will send someone to pick He Wu up for training at the headquarters. As the same perfect accommodation body, you just happen to Let's go together."
…………
'call! ~'
It's finally done.
The sudden change in the painting style during the conversation between the two is of course Lando's fault. Psychic power always moistens things in a subtle way, and the reason why he worked so hard is to get Guan Siyu to go to their headquarters - the weird asylum!
When this time came, Lando let Xiao Hui, who had followed him and had become the core mode of thinking intelligence, enter the world's network to help him search for the information he wanted. As expected, the results were very little.
At the same time, he also got an important piece of news that the really valuable information is inside the Weird Asylum, because the network over there is self-contained, and Xiao Hui can't get those materials even when the network is 'disconnected'. The Weird Asylum will summon perfect accommodaters to the headquarters for special training at a fixed time, and the next convening time will be one month later, which is not too long. This is why the above series of operations came into being.
As for recklessly going over regardless? !
Well, with Lando's current state, forget it!
