Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 224 The Buffet Scene

"I said, don't you feel that something is wrong?"

The clerk sitting at his desk was facing the screen. He had been looking at the small frame on the screen for more than ten minutes, and the picture did not change.

If the time in the corner was not still moving, the civil servants would have wondered if what they were looking at was a still picture.

His colleague heard the question, moved his gaze away from him, and stared at the screen with him for a while.

After a while, his colleague said, "No problem, isn't this a normal operation?"

The clerk interjected, "No, it's just weird to me because it's so normal."

Although I really want to monitor in all directions in 360 degrees, in fact, E-1's [Listen to the Old Man] can accept the two angles of facing him directly and facing him sideways. .

This also led to the fact that the civil servants could only look at [the old man listening to] his positive face, and his open and closed mouth.

The pens recorded by the civil servants with perfect lips have been hanging on the paper for a long time, and he really can't understand what [listen to the old man] is talking about today.

No, shouldn't he usually retell the stories told to him by people who have been there before?What's the situation today?
The normal and abnormal pictures began to freeze, the civilian staff waited patiently for a long time, and decided to report the abnormality, and asked the superiors to find someone to go to the E-1 gate to have a look.

Even if it's not the time to send a living person in to check in, E-1 is not dangerous, but in order to prevent a chain reaction, it is still necessary to find someone——

While looking at the screen, the clerk picked up the handset and was about to dial a certain number. He just pressed his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the screen of E-1, and the old man stood up.

Civilian: ?
Civilian staff:! ! !
No, don't panic, quickly recall what was said in the E-1 management instructions!

During the brainstorming of civil servants, they quickly pulled out the never-used E-1 management instructions from a corner of their memory.

And then the clerical staff found out that there was absolutely no mention of the situation where [listening to the old man] would stand up.

In theory, [listen to the old man] would just sit there all the time and would not run outside.

The thought of reading the workbook flashed by, and finally the clerk still grabbed the phone. He blindly pressed his fingers quickly, glanced at the screen, and took a breath after the call was connected.

"Leader, I want to report to you, I found E—"

The civil servant didn't finish his sentence, but the blaring siren interrupted his words.

Clerk: Ah here.

The people around him, including him, pushed the stool very skillfully, shrank under the table, took a pen and paper, and began to write the suicide note under the light of the flashlight.

The civilian staff struggled for a while, dragging the telephone line and hiding.

He didn't write a suicide note, because the suicide note was written yesterday, and he didn't write a new one before he had time to burn it.

The civilian staff listened to the announcement that the sound outside changed from an alarm to a human voice broadcast, specifying which floor and which room the ghost had escaped from, and someone had been sent to deal with it.

With such a voice, the civil servant trembled and said the strangeness of E-1.

The other end of the phone told him to stay calm and send someone to check when the chaos was over.

There shouldn't be any strange reactions, right?Hang up the phone, the clerk thought uncertainly.

There are sometimes some wonderful "chemical" reactions between supernatural creatures and supernatural objects, but E-1's [Listen to the Old Man] has always been the harmless one...?
……

What does the underground of the human special department headquarters mean to Baisu?
It was a rice bowl, and he was the mouse that fell into the rice bowl.

Of course, he must be able to run out after eating.

The structure of the underground of the building is completely different. He took the free ride of the human employees, successfully entered the underground space, and then changed the object of attachment when the human walked through the corridor.

The shadow walking on the long corridor is very suitable, and it also leads Baili through one cubicle after another.

Baisu sniffed the scent with the temporarily non-existent organs, thinking about where to start eating, and how not to attract the attention of humans.

Suddenly, when he was led past a certain door by the shadow, Baisu's attention changed.

The movement of the black shadow he was attached to also froze, and then the shadow was controlled by him and turned to the door.

The shadow stuck to the door, swam around the door frame a few times, and slowly swam away before the humans noticed the strangeness.

In the small room inside the door, a gray-haired old man sat alone on the seat in the house, with his hands on his knees, and his eyes were lowered, staring ahead.

There was not much other furniture in the room, except for a ticking clock on the wall.

After a while, both the hour and minute hands moved.

On the opposite side of the old man slowly emerged an old man with the same arched back, with exactly the same appearance and no difference in sitting posture.

Taking advantage of the process of transformation, Baisu melted a little bit of white in the room.

This also led to the subsequent scene, the turbid blue pupils turned back, revealing a clear and distinct black.

Baisu can't understand what kind of existence the old man is for the time being, but judging from the "E" logo outside the door and a little breath, he should be an ordinary person with supernatural powers——

The "old man" with darkened eyes suddenly stopped looking at him. He froze for a few seconds, and then grinned a smile that didn't match his appearance.

Ah, this is really... Baisu stared at the old man over and over again.

"So that's how it is." Baisu, wearing the skin of an old man, rolled his eyes, "You don't just want to listen to stories."

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes were squeezed, but he didn't speak.

Looking at the surrounding environment, we can see that human beings don't value this human body contaminated with supernatural powers very much, so the prison is so close to the surface.

Escape, it is very easy to escape, after all, it is only four floors underground.

Baisu had already thought about how to stand up and walk out the door, and how to break through the crowded hall with human beings... thinking too far.

Helped this ghost who was not within the scope of his recipe, of course, it might not be so easy for the other party to escape.

Moreover, the opposite party may not have the same heart.

The mouth of the old man seated opposite started to open and close without specific syllables, Baisu could see that the other party was just putting on a show.

After thinking for a while, Baisu manipulated the transformed body one by one and stood up.

He had just taken two steps towards the old man when a shrill siren sounded from outside the cubicle.

Almost instantly, the entire corridor was lit with red lights.

Baisu lowered his eyes, and the old man who was blocked by him from the camera showed Baisu the first smile since the outsider entered.

……

To find an adjective for the scene in the corridor, it can be described as hunting time.

The supernatural is scary, the supernatural is uncontrollable, and the supernatural is dangerous.

When making arrangements to contain some supernatural related things, human beings have made corresponding preparations.

For example, the death of personnel, or the destruction of the underground space.

In fact, the one who escaped was just a supernatural being classified as C, but it was troublesome to suppress it, and the opponent was dealing with mental damage.

I don't know which cell they passed by while fleeing to trigger a chain reaction. The people who were sent to chase fell into hallucinations, and the spirit jumped several floors without noticing it for a while.

"I didn't catch it, it teleported!"

"There is no sign of it on the third floor."

"On the fifth floor!"

Simply omitting the negative prefix, humans hurried down again.

At this time, they felt that it would be very convenient to have the ability of teleportation, at least they would not have to take the elevator up and down the stairs.

However, they couldn't catch up with them, and it took a long time for the team members who were addicted to hallucinations to wake up.

If you lose your sanity again, it will be really bad.

With similar thoughts, the pursuing team members finally asked the commander for help.

Although they were not traumatized, with two more trips, they could go to the nursing home to book a bed together.

At that time, there will be fewer people who can use and go out to work, and then they need to go to work without a good rest... forming a vicious circle.

Originally thought that the commander above would ask them to work harder, but the next second's order was to let them retreat to the hall and not let Lingyi escape from the ground immediately.

The chasing team members were ordered to retreat.

It is not difficult to prevent spirits from escaping from the underground. The strongest part of this underground cage is the outermost circle. If you want to leave the underground, you still have to pass through the human elevator.

Members of the militant faction stood in the hall, and the civilian staff who had just climbed out from the bottom of the table looked at each other in blank dismay.

The latter silently folded the suicide note he had written and put it back in his pocket, preparing to burn it after today's crisis.

Then sit back in your seat and continue working.

There is endless work to be done, since the escaping spirit can't threaten the hall, there is no need to worry.

The team members who were called back watched the escaped ghosts scurrying underground, and there was always a feeling that it would stimulate the ghosts in other cubicles together.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Why are you waiting here? I feel like I'll let it run amok..."

His concerns were not unreasonable. The civilian staff responsible for keeping track of the numbers had already seen the numbers in several rooms start to rise.

Before the new accident was about to happen, one of the elevators leading to the ground was finally taken down.

As soon as the black-haired young man stepped out of the elevator door, he was greeted with a lot of eyes watching him.

Some looked at it secretly, and some looked at it openly.

Baisu, who had just finished his meal, was in a good mood, and he smiled at the human looking at him.

When the chaos first started ten minutes ago, he saw the old man smiling at him, ignoring the meaning of the other's smiling at him, Baisu resolutely took advantage of the chaos and ran into the corridor.

The red light flashed and turned, and the white shadow also dodged and twisted.

Anyway, it went smoothly, he mixed into a lot of cubicles exuding fragrance, adding a point of satiety every time he entered and exited.

He ate his buffet until a human came to him.

So Baisu abandoned the underground part in a corner where no one was visiting, and then the body on the ground woke up.

He was lying on a hospital bed, and above his head was a machine so complicated that humans didn't know what to do.

The doctor who called him saw that he had woken up from a "sleep", and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Mr. Bai, you are really big."

Although there was something in my head for a while, and I was already nervous when I should be nervous, but it was still a bit...

Baisu left the machine calmly, and the doctor shrugged: "It seems that there is no abnormality in the branch... I will send you a more detailed report back to your mobile phone."

The black-haired young man nodded in understanding, and was just about to leave the place where the inspection was done when someone rushed in from outside.

"Baisu—is you there?" The man who pushed the door was out of breath, and his face was still a little anxious. As soon as he saw Baisu standing there, he wanted to grab someone, "Quick, I need you for something..."

Baisu stepped back, avoiding the man's grasping hand.

The man failed to grasp it, but he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that Baisu didn't like to be in contact with people.

He anxiously said the second time: "There are some things that need your help, please come with me."

Seeing that Baisu still didn't respond, the man continued to add: "Your boss will send you a message later, we have a proper procedure for borrowing people!"

...It wasn't because of this, Baisu glanced at the man, and then at the floor under his feet.

The speed at which humans find him is really fast.

He thought about it... It's only been 13 minutes, right?
Once again, he felt that his decision to stuff a wooden Buddha fragment into his head was right, Baisu turned his head outward: "Let's go."

Then there was the scene where he took the elevator to the underground. The person who led the way swiped his card for him and left. He got down alone.

After laughing at the humans, Baisu pulled out his hand from his pocket: "Where are you going?"

He has seen this process once, and the last time he was broadcasting live at home, a human called him and called him out, and even sent a car to pick him up.

All he has to do is...find the target and judge whether it is good or not.

He tried his best to swallow the delicious ones, and threw the unpalatable ones to humans for disposal.

By the way, the flower branches that grew on humans that day tasted pretty good, of course not as good as the wood Buddha.

After Baisu asked, some team members who received the order quickly pointed him in the direction, and thoughtfully gave him a headset for communication.

Baisu didn't need it, so he took it anyway.

As early as when he was eating the buffet, he remembered the supernatural smell, and now he can feel it standing in the hall.

"Mr. Bai, right?" the leader shouted, "Let me tell you about the supernatural material."

The leader spoke while looking at the black-haired youth in front of him.

Among the tall men, he was not considered tall, and the muscles in his arms were not considered strong, so he could be called thin.

And from the looks of it... it's pretty harmless.

The leader who had heard some rumors was still a little worried: "Mr. Bai, can you do it alone?"

Even if it is said that this person is 100% immune to mental attacks, but this is really not very good at fighting, right?What if the supernatural violence happens?
Baisu who was asked about it made an OK gesture, and before walking into the aisle on the side, he yawned sleepily, and his whole body was in a relaxed state.

Should he be acting more nervous?Baisu thought for a while, but finally gave up the idea because it was too troublesome.

Da da da footsteps sounded in the corridor where only the red light continued to run.
