One missing case after another happened one after another during this week.
And it is no longer the disappearance of a large area as a whole, but the mysterious disappearance of a certain building.
It’s not that the ‘kidnapper’ has changed, but the ‘kidnapping’ has become more precise.
This can be seen from the modus operandi of leaving a large flat pit on the spot after the building disappeared. The same person committed the crime.
I just don’t know who did it?
And overnight, the nearby building disappeared, which caused great repercussions and even panic in the society.
All kinds of rumors came out and I couldn’t suppress them.
Some said it was done by monsters, some said it was done by people from space, some said it was some kind of weapon experiment by ZF, some said it was caused by a meteor, and some said
Online There were a lot of discussions, but the people and businesses living around were horrified. Who could accept such a deep hole, so close to their own houses? They all demanded an immediate solution. This made TPC continue to refute the rumors. Staff were also dispatched to provide explanations and comfort at the scene.
“There is no radiation, there is really no radiation. We have tested it many times and there is no radiation.”
A staff member wearing a TPC uniform repeatedly emphasized and explained to the citizens surrounding him that there was no radiation circulating on the Internet and would not cause harm to their bodies.
"How could it not be possible? Such a big house disappeared and created such a big hole. It must be a high-power laser cannon." An uncle said confidently and kept pushing forward. , while squeezing, he said: "Why do you TPC test weapons in the urban area?"
The staff member immediately He refuted the rumors and said: "This is definitely not a weapons experiment by TPC. Judging from the on-site investigation, it was not caused by laser cannons."
"What was caused by that?"
" The specific reasons are under further investigation by relevant departments and will be notified to everyone as soon as possible after verification. ”
"Investigate, investigate, you will investigate, how to ensure our safety?"
"We will do our best to protect everyone's safety."
"."
< br>After a lot of chatter and uproar, the staff explained With one sentence, ten questions immediately popped up. Before the explanation of this question was finished, several more popped up. Seeing that his question had not been answered, he immediately shouted in a louder and angrier voice, and then the voice It was getting louder and louder, so much so that it drowned out the voices of the staff.
The scene is messy, more like a vegetable market than a vegetable market.
Asuka Xin, who was looking not far away, grinned and said in confusion: "How come so many people believe the rumors?"
Yes, it is a rumor, but it is still baseless and illogical. rumor.
TPC professionals are on site, holding professional instruments, and have been testing for so long, but they have found nothing. But some people only need to go online to know that there is a high concentration of laser cannons left behind after the attack. radiation.
As a half-expert, Feiniao Xin’s forehead is almost covered with question marks after seeing these remarks. I would like to ask those who say and believe this, do you know the principles of laser cannons and do you understand radiation? ah.
Radiation is everywhere, and all matter emits radiation.
Also, anything that talks about toxicity without talking about dosage is just a hooliganism.
Just like rice, if you stuff ten or twenty bowls of rice into a person's stomach, it can still kill him. Does this prove that rice can kill him?
Awesome!
However, many people believe this. No matter how TPC refutes the rumors or explains it, it cannot shake their belief.
“Because everyone prefers conspiracy theories to uninteresting truths,” Chiba Cheng poked his head out of the window, glanced at the growing crowd in the distance, and said: “ Raising a question and then asking someone to prove their innocence is the 'rogue logic' that seems very reasonable on the Internet today. But when you fall into the self-proof trap, you will face endless self-proofs. "
< br>
"But it won't work without proof." Dagu said with a bitter smile: "Otherwise, the people will be even more uneasy."
Dagu thought of the rumor incident that happened during the Victory Team period, and was led by the Intelligence Bureau In a so-called public opinion experiment initiated by the new staff officer, the Victory Team deliberately flew fighter jets back and forth over the areas where the Intelligence Bureau spread rumors, so that more people could see it.
Then the victory team is asked to drive a patrol car to crowded squares, shopping malls and other places to conduct a 'monster investigation'. When people ask questions, they cannot give clear replies, but are vague, in order to trigger Public speculation and associations artificially create tension.
Although the experiment of the Intelligence Bureau failed, the newly appointed staff officer was transferred away as a result, and his career collapsed. We have never heard of this person again, and he was obviously excluded from the core. It is even possible to directly 'retire'.
But the reason why the rumors did not spread on a large scale was not because most people were rational, but because there were only rumors without facts.
Not to mention the images of monsters, there is not even a picture, there is no picture and no truth. It can only be discussed and worried after dinner, and then it is time to go to work and live. Although monsters are scary , can't compare to the boss, because monsters don't appear every day, but the boss will tell you to get out if you don't go to work for one day.
But this time it was different. There were witnesses, not only witnesses, but also the scene.
Although some people doubt whether this big hole could be the result of a conspiracy theory, thinking that it is not a monster or a cosmic being, but maybe it was dug by humans in order to cause panic among the owners and reduce the purchase of land. Otherwise, why would the missing buildings always be in the middle of the night?
In short, the skewers and cross-talk are so messed up that it is impossible to tell the truth from the false, making public opinion even more confusing.
"I just hope that the other party will keep kidnapping old buildings." Dagu sighed as he said this. This is also a no-win solution. These old buildings are very old, and many of them are It has been abandoned. Even if it is still in use, compared with those reinforced concrete buildings, there are very few people living in it and the damage caused is less.
The two benefits should be given priority, and the two evils should be given priority!
There is no other way. The Super Victory Team and the Space Adventure Team are both out to investigate, but so far they have found nothing. The scene is clean and only dirt is left, leaving no trace at all. Apart from making random guesses, no one knows what to do. Therefore, without a clue, TPC could only adopt a stupid method, that is, to monitor the old buildings in the metropolis, mobilize patrol police, install monitoring, set up instruments and other methods.
It’s just that the amount of work is very large and cannot be completed in a day and a half. Before that, I can only stare at it. Compared with the other party continuing to attack, in fact What's even more worrying is that the other party will stop here.
Because as long as we continue to start, we will eventually find clues. But if we stop here, it will become an unsolved case, and TPC will continue to invest in surveillance for a long time. I don’t know in the meantime. How much manpower and material resources will be spent?
"Don't worry, don't worry, the results should be available soon."
Qianye Cheng was not anxious at all. On the contrary, he was sitting very relaxed, without feeling anxious at all.
"Result, what result?" Dagu and Asukaxin asked in unison, their eyes also turned to Qianye Cheng, their eyes even brighter, obviously looking forward to something.
“I have asked people from Xia Prei to inquire. Many things are internal but not external. It is difficult for outsiders to know and it is difficult for internal people to keep them secret.”
These words are very resonant. Both Dagu and Asuka Shin have heard various "gossips" from the medical department more than once, and they are so fidelity that the Intelligence Bureau is known as the small medical department. .
Just as he was talking, Fudo Ken sent a communication request. As soon as the connection was connected, he couldn't wait to say: "Captain, we have found out, it is probably Himala, a self-proclaimed space thief."
< br>"Space Phantom Thief Himara?"
"Yes, Captain, it is very likely that it did it. , because it has a special ability, that is, it can create a special subspace."
"Have you asked where it lives?"
"Uh, not yet. "After Fudo Ken finished speaking, he quickly added: "But we are trying our best to find out."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After Chiba Cheng hung up the call, he said simply: "Get in the car."
Da Gu immediately opened the door and got in the car. Asuka Shin hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly got into the car after Dagu got in. Then he immediately tied himself up with a seat belt, and then held on to the armrest.
Chiba Cheng started the vehicle on his own, then stepped on the accelerator and drove the car quickly on the road, heading towards the destination.
“They won’t be in danger, right?”
Dagu was a little worried. It was okay for the people from Xiaprei. After all, they were not human beings and would not attract much attention as long as they did not go out of their way. But Fudoken was a real human being and he was also a member of the Space Adventure Team. He had passed through the space more than once. The uniform was revealed.
Qianye Cheng did not answer this question, but asked: "Do you know who you hate the most?"
Before they could answer, Qianye Cheng said to himself: " Those are the ones who break the peace. People from space are illegal on earth. Even if they are cosmonauts with ulterior motives, they will keep a low profile before starting to act. Himara's high-profile actions will cause a strong reaction from the TPC, and the previous behavior of the Miji aliens has made TPC sensitive to many things. Materials were rigorously The supervision also triggered a large-scale census.
So whether it is a space person who wants to live on the earth or wants to do something on the earth, they don’t want to cause any more troubles during this period. This turmoil should be calmed down as soon as possible, but Himara There is a bigger turmoil, and naturally there are people in the universe who don’t want to continue to cause trouble.
The first choice is to hand over the culprit. After all, it is better to end this wave as soon as possible. Crack down hard so they can come out and move around.”
"You mean, even if they knew Fudongjian's identity, they wouldn't touch him. Instead, they would leak some information."
"That's right, there are not many cosmic beings who can come to Earth. They are reckless men who have a pattern and know how to balance this point. Now, with the continuous commotion, it is obvious that the balance has been lost. If the balance is not restored, the storm will become bigger and bigger. By then It would be bad. Although the science and technology of the cosmonauts is advanced, the earth is the home ground of mankind, and it still has advantages."
"Wouldn't it be possible to find Himala soon?" Dagu suddenly said. Get excited and find the kidnapper behind the scenes as soon as possible. This is also the consensus of TPC. No matter high-level or low-level, they don’t want to see an alien from the universe causing trouble and acting wantonly on the earth.
"Probably, of course, eggs cannot be put in the same basket. I also entrusted Ye Rui to help with the investigation and use big data to find if there are any people who appeared at the missing place. , two-pronged approach, there will always be results.”
“Oh!”
Dagu suddenly realized that no wonder Chiba Makoto was not in a hurry at all, he was co-authoring because he knew what he was doing.
Asuka Shin praised: "As expected of the captain!"
"That's right."
"So captain, do you want to drive slower?"
< br>“No!”
"Alas——"
As expected, before Chiba Makoto and the others arrived, Fudo Ken sent a message. They had already asked Himara's whereabouts. To their surprise, It's not a wilderness or a no-man's land, but the attic of an old house in a busy city.
So, Chiba Cheng turned the steering wheel and turned there. When he arrived, what he saw was a very old building.
Dagu also found relevant information on the way. This large, reinforced concrete, several-story building was a product of the 1970s and 1980s, when the economy was in a period of rapid development. , people began to pursue a better living experience, so there was this kind of building complex that was different from traditional wooden buildings.
However, times have changed, and now everyone no longer likes this kind of building. Instead, single-family wooden houses have become popular again. Therefore, such old houses with outdated style and shape have become cheap and shabby representation.
Nowadays, this area is no longer overcrowded as it used to be. Instead, it is sparsely populated. There are less than 100 residents in one building, and only a quarter of the building where Himala lives is left. (End of this chapter)
