The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Chapter 226 Master’s Wife
This time when Shen Ge returned to Ping An Hotel, he did not encounter any obstruction from the strange space. After the system scanned it, the strange and weird people wandering in the building were immediately marked out in detail.

In other words, the strange space disappeared.

"What's going on?" Shen Ge couldn't figure out why the strange space disappeared. According to the previous methods of solving the strange space, none of the conditions were met this time.

Could it be those "fragments"?
While Shen Ge was thinking, he relied on the high-speed movement ability of the red mist armor to quickly shuttle between the floors of Ping An Hotel, hunting down those low-level weirdos and weirdos, and harvesting a wave of system points before the anti-weird troops from the headquarters attacked.

Half an hour later, Shen Ge came out of Ping An Hotel and met Fang Mingyue and others who were evacuating the wounded.

"Detective Shen!" When Fang Mingyue saw Shen Ge, she immediately stepped forward to express her gratitude to him. Hu Tinglan was her best friend. According to Hu Tinglan, if Shen Ge had not gone in to rescue her this time, she would have died without a doubt.

"It's just a small favor, you're welcome. Have you found the root cause of this strange incident?" Shen Ge glanced at the busy crowd in front of him. He always felt that this strange incident came too suddenly.

The most important thing is that as the venue for the Asian Anti-Ghost Research Conference, the headquarters naturally attaches great importance to Ping An Hotel.

If those weirdos who have integrated into the Special Initiative Department are the ones causing trouble, the higher-ups will not allow the situation to deteriorate, not to mention that this is Daejeon!
After Shen Ge came out of the strange space, he found that the headquarters of this strange incident reacted very quickly. In just a few hours, they evacuated the citizens of the entire block, surrounded the Ping An Hotel with three floors inside and outside, and brought out the mecha troops as their "trump card"!

It can be seen that the headquarters is very concerned about the strange incident that occurred in Ping An Hotel. This is obviously inconsistent with Shen Ge's initial suspicion of the headquarters' "test".

Fang Mingyue ordered the team members behind her to help others, then walked aside with Shen Ge and said, "Detective Shen, I think this incident should have nothing to do with the headquarters. First of all, in terms of time, because of the afternoon incident, the headquarters held an emergency meeting. The captains of the three divisions participated, and the researchers of each department were also on standby; secondly, according to the surveillance video at the scene, this incident happened suddenly..."

"The incident happened in the restaurant kitchen on the first floor of the hotel. The octopus in the aquatic area suddenly underwent a mutation, but it was only a first-level mutation. After the alarm of the paranormal detection sounded, the security department immediately went to deal with it. The strange thing is that half an hour after the handling of this strange incident, a large number of paranormal reactions appeared throughout the hotel."

"Our second division is responsible for coordinating the operations of the third division this time, and is mainly responsible for analyzing the surveillance videos reported by the hotel before the strange space appeared. My team checked all the teams and confirmed that no suspicious people entered or left the eleventh floor, where the strange energy fluctuations first appeared, within twelve hours, and there were no residents on the entire floor."

"It seemed like the space on the eleventh floor was suddenly torn apart, and then a large amount of strange energy poured into each floor from the corridor, and then signs of a strange space appeared."

Eleventh floor?
Shen Ge was a little "sensitive" when he heard this number, because the strange black room full of eyes he found in the spire in the dream world was also on the eleventh floor!
"The headquarters is also very concerned about this vicious and strange incident. It is ordering the first department to conduct an internal investigation, and the second and third departments to investigate the incident itself, and to find out the cause of the incident inside and out. To be honest, I have never seen the headquarters so serious and efficient since the strange disaster in Dajing..." Fang Mingyue was not making excuses for the headquarters, but the headquarters' swift and decisive handling of the matter this time could indeed clear the suspicion to a large extent.

Of course, there is another possibility -

This strange incident was indeed caused by someone from the headquarters secretly tampering. Because of this, they knew how troublesome it would be if the incident spread, so they took swift and decisive measures to suppress it!

But, what is all this for?
Everything has to have a purpose, not to mention the "importance" of Ping An Hotel means that no one would be bored enough to use it as a testing ground.

If the target was Shen Ge, then the weirdo would have had many opportunities to attack, whether at the research institute or on the way back to the hotel, so there was no need to choose such an important Ping An Hotel.

"Second Minister Luo Cheng personally led the team into the Ping An Hotel for investigation. He is the anti-evil captain trained by my grandfather and should be trustworthy. I will notify you immediately after he finds out the news." Fang Mingyue said.

Shen Ge nodded and asked, "Are there serious casualties in this strange incident?"

Fang Mingyue sighed, "As far as general strange events are concerned, the losses... are huge. As the venue for the Asian Anti-Strange Detection Conference, although there is only one security force stationed inside the Ping An Hotel, the headquarters has set up the latest strange detection facilities at four key locations around the Ping An Hotel and sent four anti-strange Detection Forces to guard them."

"After the alarm sounded, two anti-ghost teams from the Third Department entered the hotel first to provide support, but one team is missing and the other team... all members were killed. Their deaths were very tragic. They were attacked by monsters and injected with parasitic weirdness, which eroded their consciousness and devoured their heads and internal organs."

After hearing Fang Mingyue's description, Shen Ge immediately thought of the group of parasites wearing Special Measures Department uniforms that he met in the strange space. It seemed that the 4th-level monster was the one who killed them.

"Something happened at Ping An Hotel and it has been temporarily blocked off. Tan Shen, why don't you come back with me to Department 2? There are a lot of empty dormitories here, and if there is any new news, I can inform you as soon as possible." Fang Mingyue said.

Shen Ge had other plans originally, but thinking that as the Second Department was the investigation team for this strange incident, it would be convenient for them to get information if they were closer, he agreed to Fang Mingyue's proposal.

After Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue returned to the Second Department to settle down, Fang Mingyue, as the captain of the anti-ghost team, naturally had a lot of work to do, and it ended up that he was busy all night.

The next morning, Fang Mingyue found Shen Ge with a tired face. After a night of investigation, she still had no clue about the cause of the strange incidents in Ping An Hotel, as if everything happened suddenly.

Shen Ge knew that this matter could not be rushed. After all, as a witness of the entire incident, he also felt that this strange incident was too strange. Even the system and Xiao Qi, who had been on high alert since arriving in Dajing, did not notice it at all. It was just as Fang Mingyue said - it appeared "suddenly".

You should know that whether it is the weird alienation or the spread of the weird space, there is a "process", and there are almost no cases of sudden occurrence.

The most suspicious thing is that the strange space is actually "connected" to the dream world, which makes Shen Ge doubt himself.

Because a few months before he checked into the Ping An Hotel, the hotel was as "safe" as its name, but something happened on the first night he checked in, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Shen Ge asked Fang Mingyue to go back and rest first. He went to the department with Fang Mingyue's detective to make a record of what happened last night, and then took a taxi to leave the second department.

According to the original schedule, Fang Mingyue would take him to the anti-terrorism agent training camp for a "visit and guidance" today, but after the incident at the Ping An Hotel, the Special Policy Department was extremely busy, so this matter had to be postponed.

After postponing the "official business", Shen Ge planned to deal with the personal matters of this trip to Dajing, and took a car to "Zhonghai", a special area where the families of the Special Policy Department lived.

The reason why he came here was very simple, to see his "master's wife", Chen Ke's wife Jiang Jing, whom he had not seen for a long time.

To be precise, Jiang Jing should be considered the "master" of Shen Ge and Deng Yuqi, because she was the one who taught them Bajiquan. However, due to someone's face, they were "forced" to worship that person as their master and respectfully call Jiang Jing "master's wife".

Fortunately, the "master-disciple" relationship was relatively harmonious. Jiang Jing did not take these things too seriously, and she and her husband taught their disciples in the same way.

Jiang Jing's parents are both military personnel. Her mother is considered a "veteran" of the Special Policy Department. Although she is much younger than her elders, she is also a veteran in the establishment of the Special Policy Department.

Jiang Jing originally moved to Rong City with Chen Ke. Some time ago, she received a call that her mother was seriously ill, so she returned to Dajing to take care of her mother.

It has been several months. As the person in charge of the anti-ghost training camp of the Rong City branch, Chen Ke naturally cannot go back to Dajing often. Although they talk on the phone every day, he still misses his wife. Shen Ge happened to be coming to Dajing for an exchange, so he took this opportunity to go to the Jiang family on his behalf to see if there is anything he can do to help. As a military family, the older generation of the Jiang family lived in the "Zhonghai District". As soon as Shen Ge got out of the car and walked to the door, he was stopped by a team of fully armed soldiers.

"I'm sorry, sir. You can't enter without a pass or an appointment." In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers' families, the security here is even stricter than that of the Rong City branch.

Shen Ge was used to using facial recognition cards in Rong City, and didn't think about this problem for a while, so he took out his ID and handed it over: "Hello, I'm a counter-terrorism agent from Rong City, and I'm here to visit my relatives."

There are divided passages on the "Zhonghai" side. Generally, residents and their families enter directly by swiping their cards from another door, or through the special car passage. The door that Shen Ge went through is usually for freight, such as delivering vegetables to the canteen, delivering furniture to a certain household, etc. This is also the main reason why Shen Ge was stopped.

The leading soldier took a look at Shen Ge's ID and immediately stood up straight and saluted: "Hello, Chief. I apologize for the offense just now."

Shen Ge's credentials were also upgraded after the Rong City branch system was upgraded. Although he refused the position of captain-in-chief, Deng Yuqi gave him the seal of captain-in-chief to make it easier for him to act.

As one of the first anti-terrorism agents who came into contact with Shen Ge, Lin Yin knew him well and would not mind the operation of having two captains.

Just as Deng Yuqi said back then, the atmosphere in the Rong City branch is famously good, and there is no such thing as "intra-department competition" at all.

Except for the two iron-blooded warriors Feng Chengxiu and Yu Tiexiong, there are really few "captains" who really want to be the captain. They all want to be a hands-off boss, but the situation does not allow it.

"It's okay. It's all the old man's fault for not explaining the situation here clearly. Can I go in now?" Shen Ge put away the certificate.

The leading soldier said respectfully: "Commander, do you have an appointment code? Or can you tell us who you are going to meet? Zhonghai is a large area with complex terrain. We will arrange a car to take you there."

It was no secret that Shen Ge came to see Jiang Jing, so he told her everything. The soldier then immediately arranged a car to take him into Zhonghai.

After entering, Shen Ge understood why the soldier said that Zhonghai's "terrain is relatively complicated", because this residential area was built on a hillside, in a circular shape, with no high-rise buildings, and the tallest building was no more than six stories high. And this was just the dormitory for the soldiers stationed here.

Going further up, the residential area in the central area is where the "family members" live. It covers a large area, almost one-fifth the size of Haicheng District.

Following the instructions of the guide, Shen Ge found the townhouse area where the Jiang family lived and rang the doorbell of one of the houses.

Soon, a maid in her forties came to open the door. Seeing Shen Ge, she was stunned for a moment and asked politely, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for my master's wife, Jiang Jing, Ms. Jiang." Shen Ge replied politely.

The maid was startled, as if a little surprised, but she quickly came to her senses and said, "Madam is taking care of the old lady. Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."

"Okay." Shen Ge nodded.

When the maid went upstairs to ask her master's permission, she asked two young maids to invite Shen Ge to the guest room for tea. Although she was not sure about the "authenticity" of Shen Ge's identity, she had worked in the Jiang family for decades after all, so she had some knowledge.

First, the fact that Shen Ge could come in here and knock on the door meant that his identity must be extraordinary; second, she had been in the Jiang family for decades, and she had heard that the "madam's" husband had accepted several apprentices, but these apprentices were not in Dajing, so it would not be strange if he came to visit.

Of course, as to whether or not to meet her in the end, that was not something she, a servant, could decide. She could only ask for her permission and then see what the lady thought.

Usually, even if an important person comes to visit the lady or the old lady, it is okay to invite them into the house for a cup of tea. If they don't want to see them, they can just decline after drinking the tea on the grounds of feeling unwell. What's more, the old lady is indeed recuperating from an illness.

As soon as Shen Ge sat down in the living room, his mistress came down from upstairs with the maid. Seeing that it was Shen Ge, she was a little surprised: "Xiao Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Ge was slightly stunned, wondering if Chen Ke hadn't talked to his master's wife on the phone in the past few days and didn't even tell her that he came to Dajing for exchanges?

"The Asian Anti-Ghost Research Conference is held in Dajing this time. I came here early as part of the exchange between the two departments. I just arrived yesterday. I wanted to visit my master's wife, but something happened in the hotel where I stayed." Shen Ge briefly told his master's wife about what had happened in the past two days.

Upon hearing this, the master's wife frowned slightly and said, "I remember that the Asian Anti-Specialty Research Conference was held at the Ping An Hotel in Dajing. If you want to participate, you must be arranged to stay here... Could something happen here?"

Shen Ge was not surprised at all about his master's wife's reaction. This was also the reason why he felt that this strange incident was very strange, but he had no clue yet.

Shen Ge chatted with his master's wife for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, his master's wife asked the maid to prepare lunch according to Shen Ge's taste, and then talked to him about Chen Ke's situation in recent months.

As they were chatting, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs. They looked up and saw an old lady with gray hair, an old face, but very energetic, walking downstairs with the support of two maids.

"Mom, why did you come down?" Seeing this, the master's wife hurried forward to help the old lady.

The old lady said dissatisfiedly: "You make me lie in bed all day long. That's how my elder sister died. It would be better to let her practice some boxing in the yard."

"..." Shen Ge remembered that the old lady of the Jiang family was younger than Mr. Fang, but she had been injured on the battlefield before. Later, she participated in the anti-ghost operation and was eroded by the ghost energy. She aged dozens of years overnight and now looked like an old lady in her eighties or nineties.

Seeing an old lady of this build saying that she wants to go to the yard to practice some boxing sounds a bit awkward.

"what?"

"Who is this young man?"

The old lady noticed the guest in the living room and looked at Shen Ge curiously. Shen Ge quickly stood up and respectfully introduced himself. Before he could say anything, the old lady suddenly pointed at Shen Ge with her cane and said with a smile, "Wow, isn't this the kid from the Shen family? I remember you, Shen Yao, right? What's the matter? You finally listened to my advice and came to learn Baji from me?"
