Chapter 30 Bai Xiao
The shadow faded, and Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao returned to the real world.
As the rain fell on her body, Zhu Miaomiao, who was holding the fire ax, sat down on the ground. Her tense nerves did not relax until this moment.
Without putting on her raincoat and hat, Zhu Miaomiao looked blankly at Building 4. Not long ago, ten investigators gathered at the entrance of the corridor, but now there were only two people left. We all received training together in the Bureau of Investigation, and the faces are still vividly engraved in our minds.
"They are not dead, they are just lost on the other side of the world." Gao Ming is a psychological counselor. He can tell at a glance what Zhu Miaomiao is thinking: "They will survive in that shadow world, and we must cheer up as soon as possible. Try to become stronger, and then go to the shadow world to take them home."
Nodding, Zhu Miaomiao looked at Gao Ming with eyes full of respect. Although the man in front of her spoke a little coldly, he really rushed forward when faced with danger.
"We're ready to go back."
"The various equipment of the Investigation Bureau are still in the building." Zhu Miaomiao threw the fire ax into the cargo box and ran into the building to start moving it.
Half an hour later, Gao Ming rode the investigation bureau's tram ahead to clear the way, and Zhu Miaomiao followed in the truck. The two of them traveled a long distance before returning to the vicinity of the Lishan Investigation Bureau.
Before they even got out of the car, many staff members gathered around them.
"The black ring investigating the deputy leader of a group has lost its signal! Others can't be contacted. What happened last night!"
"It's just a first-level abnormal event, why are there so many investigators there?"
"Who are you? It's so cool."
Amidst the noise, a young man with a fierce and cold temperament walked out. He opened the back door of the truck directly. When he saw that there was only equipment inside and no other investigators, he stood there straight.
Seeing this scene, other staff members did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere became very depressing.
After a long time, the young man turned around and walked towards Gao Ming: "I am Bai Xiao, the leader of the investigation team of the Lishan Investigation Bureau. Bai Qiao is my sister. What did you encounter last night?"
"The risk level was judged incorrectly. What happened in Building No. 4 on Minlong Street was not a Level 1 abnormal event, but a Level 2 abnormal event. It may even be considered a Level 3 abnormal event." Gao Ming did not hide anything: "In this abnormal event , the more you are afraid of panic, the closer death will be, because all fears will be slowly manifested. "
"I have never encountered such an abnormal event before." Bai Xiao looked at Gao Ming coldly.
"Team leader, Gao Ming is right. The monsters we imagined have become real. It is fear that is chasing us." Zhu Miaomiao's uniform was in tatters and she had obviously suffered a lot.
"So, it is because of Bai Qiao's misjudgment that she and all the reserve investigators of the investigation team were in danger?" Bai Xiao's voice was cold, and he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"There are various changes in abnormal events. No one can predict what will happen next. We can only say that we don't know enough about abnormal events." Gao Ming put his helmet on the tram: "You don't have to Too sad, they are just lost in the shadows, there is still a possibility for them to come back in the future.”
Bai Xiao's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing and entered the truck alone.
"I heard that Team Leader Bai has a bad temper, so be careful." Zhu Miaomiao whispered in Gao Ming's ear.
"Yes." Gao Ming nodded. In fact, compared to the huge plan in his heart, he didn't need to care about any of this.
Entering the investigation office, Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao took out the black ring and, under the leadership of the staff, reconstructed the entire abnormal incident. Bai Xiao and other members of the investigation team were also listening. When the incident was half restored, Chen Yuntian, director of the Lishan Investigation Bureau, rushed over. The eight investigators were lost in the unusual incident. This was no small matter.
It took two hours to reconstruct the incident. The information obtained by Gao Ming and others was uploaded to the General Administration. Everyone also had an understanding of what they experienced last night.
"I gave you three days to adjust your condition. I didn't expect you to arrive first before I came back." Chen Yuntian called Gao Ming to the corner: "The abnormal incident last night was beyond everyone's expectations, and none of us wanted it to happen. What we saw, it’s a good thing you arrived early, otherwise we would have been completely wiped out. If no information was brought out, that would be a real failure.”
There was a trace of pain hidden in Chen Yuntian's eyes, but he did not show it at all: "Gao Ming, you did a good job. But you can take a little rest in the past two days and run in with other team members. After all, we have entered an abnormal event. You guys To give your back to the other person to protect you, you need to completely trust the other person.”
After telling Gao Ming some things, Chen Yuntian left in a hurry.
"What did the Director tell you?" Zhu Miaomiao followed Gao Ming curiously.
"Let me handle the interpersonal relationships." Gao Ming came to the second floor and opened the door of the investigation team's office.
The huge office now seemed empty. Apart from Bai Xiao, there were only three old team members wearing black rings.
The three team members were originally saying something to Bai Xiao, but after Gao Ming came in, they all shut their mouths.
Gao Ming didn't care about those people's attitude towards him at all. He found Qin Tian's previous location, sat down and began to search the haunted house. He joined the Bureau not to enjoy benefits, but to use the Bureau's power to accomplish something.
Concentrating on his work, Gao Ming kept improving his plan in his mind. He didn't go to Bai Xiao, but Bai Xiao came over on his own.
The chair was dragged, and Bai Xiao sat opposite Gao Ming: "Qin Tian was sitting in your position before."
"I know, there is still his name in the folder on the table." Gao Ming did not look up.
"The moment every investigator joins the investigation bureau, he has already anticipated the worst outcome and is prepared for death. This is the case for Qin Tian, the same is true for Bai Qiao, and the same is true for me." Bai Xiao's voice sounded softly. Trembling, you can hear his emotions fluctuating greatly, but he is trying to control himself: "It is a stupid thing to vent your pain on others. What I want to tell you is that as a member of a group, you Don’t worry about being isolated or betrayed by your companions. At any time, our enemies are only abnormal events. Only with this determination can we let more people survive the disaster!”
Gao Ming slowly raised his head. He didn't expect Bai Xiao to say this to him.
"Qin Tian and I are both from Xinhu. We have experienced life and death together, so I believe in his vision." Bai Xiao extended his hand to Gao Ming: "Welcome to join the investigation team."
Looking at Bai Xiao carefully, Gao Ming could tell through his micro-expressions that Bai Xiao was not lying. Every word he said came from the heart. For the first time, he felt the power of "human" so clearly, and how he interacted with "ghost" In comparison, people don’t seem to have any advantage, but in this coming disaster, people really don’t necessarily lose.
"The new reserve members may arrive in the afternoon. We are going to the East District to perform a collaborative mission. It will be hard for you two to stay here on duty tonight." Bai Xiao brought Zhu Miaomiao a brand new uniform from the closet.
"Going to the East District to perform a mission?" From Gao Ming's point of view, the DC District is the most prosperous area in the vast sea, and it seems normal for the Investigation Bureau to choose to protect it. After all, the price of human life is different.
"The first Level 4 abnormal event in the Hanhai is suspected to have occurred there. All branches will send experienced investigators there." After Bai Xiao paused for a moment, he added: "Qin Tian died in that abnormal event."
"How about we go there together tonight?" Gao Ming actually didn't know what to think. Level 4 abnormal events corresponded to ghost story-level games, and they were not ghost stories like Zhao Xi's that were triggered in advance.
