Indescribable cyberpunk - #646 - Chapter 629 Crossroads

Virginia chose to enter the intersection after listening to the brief report from the surviving police officer.

It’s not that she’s arrogant, but it’s not long since the incident happened. Maybe there are clues left at the scene. Plus she has enough confidence in her own strength. If she encounters an accident, she might be able to find some important information. .

Seeing the branch president walking into the accident scene, the two senior investigators naturally had no reason to stand by. After docking the airship in a safe area, they quickly moved towards the former while carrying two metal boxes.

However, when they ran forward some distance, they saw Virginia, who had reached the traffic light at the intersection, raising her left hand into a fist.

It was an obvious tactical gesture, and the two immediately stopped and waited for the next order.

“The situation at the street is unknown. Don’t approach Hector rashly. You are responsible for communicating with the security department and storing a copy of the surveillance video and hue detection records in the database. Fujita, use the No. 1 injection and then come closer. I You are required to conduct real-time detection.”

Holding a half-moon-shaped mechanical instrument in hand, Virginia looked at the data pushed out one after another on the light screen.

This detector, specially made by the Archaeological Association for homicides caused by monsters that are sources of mental pollution, can not only determine the type of monsters that are sources of mental pollution through wounds and traces left at the first scene, but can also detect possible lucky persons in the shortest possible time. And its mental state, while Virginia holds an “enhanced version” with more comprehensive functions.

After receiving the order, Hector bent down and placed the metal box in front of Fujita. While turning around and retreating, he took out the communicator and prepared to communicate with the Qianfan City police. Fujita took a step forward, opened the metal box he carried with him, and reached out to pick it up. An injection, turned over in the left hand, revealing a special bracelet with a groove in the center worn on the wrist.

After pondering for two seconds, insert the end of the knuckle-sized injection into the groove.

“Half-mutant mode, activated!”

The light green liquid inside the injection was immediately injected into the body. He knelt half on the ground with his right hand on the ground. After taking continuous deep breaths, black lines loomed on both sides of Fujita’s cheeks. When a hot white mist came out of his mouth, the state recover.

After closing the box again, he also carried Hector’s box in his hand and approached Virginia.

“Failed to complete match!”

As soon as he got close, Fujita heard the sound of the instrument in Virginia’s hand.

“The monsters that appear in Thousand Sails City as a source of spiritual pollution are indeed unprecedented. They are not recorded even in the archives of the Archaeological Association.”

Virginia was not surprised by the results reported by the instrument. The bad relationship between Thousand Sails City and the Archaeological Association some time ago resulted in the failure of the two parties to share information. The detection instrument was connected to the Archaeological Association’s internal database, so naturally it could not be checked. Receive information about infected monsters that only appear in Thousand Sails City.

What really puzzled her now were other questions.

Why do the number of abnormal people appearing in the hue value detector suddenly increase in a short period of time?

Why did the patrol members who came to support fall into insanity even though protective measures were in place?

I wanted to find some clues from the scene, but after scanning around, all I could see was the mess on the ground. I could only turn my eyes to Fujita, who was already squatting beside the police car to check on the patrol members, waiting for his test results.

“President, I have not sensed any items or special energy residues that may cause mental pollution from these police officers. In fact, these people’s protective measures are in place. Even if they see mental pollution monsters at close range, as long as they are not high-level original The living body should not suffer from insanity.”

On the surface, he was checking the situation, but Fujita’s eyes were completely closed at this time. He just slowed down and leaned close to the bodies around the police car.

There is no doubt about the ability of a senior investigator who can follow the branch president. After years of development, the Archaeological Association also has its own technology to deal with the current situation.

Fujita passed the internal test of the Archaeological Association two years ago to become a qualified candidate for a certain project and underwent subsequent body transformation.

By using the potions provided by the association, he can adjust his mental state to that of an incomplete mutant. Simply put, he is a mutant with a source of mental pollution who retains his own will.

Does it sound like you have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?

Yes, Fujita’s current state can be regarded as a weakened version of Zhu Jue five years ago.

It cannot mutate, let alone directly strengthen itself by eating evolved meat. Correspondingly, there will not be a furbolg staring at Fujita’s soul anytime and anywhere. His spirit will remain at a certain level without external interference. state of sanity rather than testing back and forth on the edge of madness.

What Fujita really gained was the ability to sense special beings such as monsters that are sources of mental pollution and a small improvement in physical fitness.

“Hector, have you got the hue detector data for the time of the incident?”

The large-scale increase in hue value and insanity could not be a coincidence. Virginia bypassed the police car, contacted her subordinates, and pointed at another group of victims, signaling Fujita to change the test objects.

“I’ve got it, I’ll send it to you now.”

The previous meeting with the Minister of Security gave the Archaeological Association a very high level of authority when investigating such incidents, so there would naturally be no obstacles in accessing this information.

He took out his mobile phone and opened the file just sent by Hector through the internal network. The dark red data representing the abnormal coloring value was not difficult to find in a pile of light green data. Virginia quickly locked the incident, just After a cursory glance, she found that there seemed to be patterns in the data.

“At 13:02, the first batch of people with abnormal hue values ​​appeared, numbering 3 people.”

“13:10, second batch, 9 people.”

“13:18, third batch, 7 people.”

As she muttered the data on the screen, a look of confusion gradually appeared on Virginia’s face.

If the first batch of people with abnormal hue values ​​were cultists sent by the Ouroboros organization to carry out terrorist operations, so they were exposed at the same time, then why did the second batch of people with abnormal hue values ​​focus on 13:10? ?

The second group of people from the Ouroboros organization can definitely act at the same time as the first group of people, so why bother?

If they are victims of virus infection, how can these people be in different locations and exposed to the virus at different times, so how could the outbreak occur at the same time?

Not to mention that the third batch of people with abnormal hue values ​​were all patrol members who came for support. They also went insane at the same time.

The three outbreaks were all 8 minutes apart. Such regular outbreaks were not so much caused by the Ouroboros organization spreading the virus. Virginia believed that someone was releasing something that could affect human mental state at a specific point here.

“President!”

Just as Virginia was thinking, a hoarse low sound suddenly came. She subconsciously looked over and saw Fujita, who was still conducting detection before, kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands, rolling on the street in extreme pain. The originally thin lines on the face are now visibly deepened!

“Fujita?”

Pulling out the firearm from her waist, Virginia looked around. She didn’t notice anything strange. She could only approach Fujita while reaching into her pocket with her free left hand to take out the soul stone that could detect the source of mental pollution. She lowered her head and glanced. Originally, it was still The crystal clear spar has become turbid.

“President, leave this area quickly. This is a trap!”

Due to his special mental state, Fujita was obviously more sensitive to certain things than Virginia, so he struggled and shouted.

Although it was difficult to understand the meaning of Fujita’s words for a while, this did not prevent Virginia from trusting this subordinate who had been with her for two years. She took a few steps closer, grabbed the former’s back collar with one hand, and put it on his shoulder. The other hand grabbed the two metal boxes on the ground and quickly evacuated to the safe area.

Even though she was resisting a subordinate who was several times wider than her, Virginia still walked as fast as flying. The strong explosive power contained in her slim and tall figure was fully exposed.

In the process of retreating, Virginia gradually felt the dull pain coming from the brain from time to time and the occasional flash of trance. Fortunately, Hector came to help and successfully ran out of the intersection before the situation worsened. range.

“What did you find?”

After taking a breath, he took out the cigarette again, lit it and held it in his mouth, using its effect to restore his chaotic mental state. His eyes fell on Fujita, who was sitting next to the empty boat as if he was exhausted, with a pale face.

“Just now, in the intersection area. Sorry, the feeling is hard to describe. It’s like some kind of existence stuck a straw into my head and kept sucking out my sanity. I can’t sense the source. Somewhere, it seems to appear out of thin air. This is probably the reason why people with abnormal hue values ​​appeared one after another here!”

The experienced Fujita opened his metal box and took out another injection. He injected it into his body using the same method as before. A little blood reappeared on his pale face. At the same time, he kept recalling the feeling just now, describing it in as much detail as possible, hoping that Important clues can be found in them.

Long~

The roar of the engine sounded over the distant streets, and the unique red and blue warning lights of the security department vehicles were easy to distinguish under the dark sky.

The efficiency of the Security Department cannot be said to be slow, and the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air is the best proof.

“Hector, contact the security department and ask them to seal off this area immediately and not let anyone get close. In addition, urge them to analyze the surveillance video as soon as possible. Not only today’s video, but also the video in the past short period of time needs to be reviewed. This area is definitely being blocked. The Ouroboros organization has done something!”

There are also opportunities hidden under the crisis. As long as the Ouroboros organization’s actions can be deciphered, Virginia is confident that it can seize more important clues.

“President.”

Hector’s tone sounded a little hesitant, he looked down at the screen of his phone and said again,

“Community No. 23 saw a large-scale improvement in hue value a few minutes ago. It is located at a crossroads that has just been repaired and is only open to traffic today!”

“What did you say?”

Virginia turned sideways and took Hector’s cell phone to confirm the information again.

The next second.

A chill ran down my spine.

The Ouroboros organization moved much faster than she expected!
