Chapter 69 Shadows of the Past
July 25, 2014, the twenty-ninth day of the sixth lunar month, 05:11 in the morning, the sun and the moon were dim.
A sunmorpho butterfly flapped its wings lightly, bypassing the paralyzed security system inside the hospital, and arrived in front of the transformer room on the underground floor.
Ning Zhe took out a claw hammer from the tool box hanging on the wall, smashed the fully sealed glass cabinet, and physically disconnected all the circuit breakers and transformers in the substation room.
In an instant, the power supply to the entire hospital was cut off, and the LED lights went out one after another. The MRI room stopped first, and the oxygen concentrator, centrifuge and other medical facilities were paralyzed one after another. The entire hospital suddenly fell into chaos. The strange darkness and silence.
At the same time, in the east of the earth, the half of the sun that had just climbed above the horizon was still emitting a gentle and soft light for one second, and all the light disappeared for the next second. The whole 'world' was shrouded in darkness, and the sun was extinguished. Just like every LED light in the hospital that went out due to a power outage.
On the commercial street in the center of Taoyuan, a tall and thin figure hurriedly walked out of the hotel. He ignored the darkness around him and went downstairs.
Ye Yao's walking posture was quite relaxed, as if this lightless darkness was the destination of his life. His tall and thin bamboo pole figure melted into the shadows like a ghost, and Yao Yao disappeared.
A few minutes later, Ye Yao appeared on the roof of a building just across the street from the hospital and did not move forward.
"The special agent can sense the existence and movement of all shadows within a certain range. It's almost done here. No matter how close you are, it's easy to be discovered." Ye Yao took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen and looked at the current time. .
In the darkness, even the faintest light seemed dazzling. The thin light of the mobile phone screen was blocked by Ye Yao's thin figure, casting a blurry figure on the floor. Because the human body was close to the light source, the figure was illuminated. Seems extremely tall.
But the strange thing is that this tall and burly humanoid shadow is incomplete.
Ye Yao's body is very normal, without any functional defects or disabilities, but his body looks a bit thinner. But the shadow cast by his body on the surface is incomplete:
There is a huge gap in the right thigh
The left hand is disabled, and the connection between the arm and the palm is Broken
There is a circular gap on the left shoulder, as if something had cut out a piece of flesh
The right hand is relatively intact
The right leg...
Ye Yao's shadow is covered with scars , covered with shocking injury marks and deep gaps, but his body was intact, just a little thinner.
This incomplete shadow only existed for a few seconds. After confirming the time, Ye Yao turned off the screen of his mobile phone and still had no intention of approaching the hospital - the street lights were still on. As long as he tries to cross the road, once his shadow appears under the light source, there is a high probability of being discovered by the special envoy.
"It's really tricky." Ye Yao shook his head, but a smile appeared on his face under the mask.
At least the seller didn't lie to him. The special transfer's ability does perfectly fit his needs. This is what he urgently needs. As long as he kills that person and gets the special transfer, the death countdown on his body will stop... ...even inverted.
But soon, the smile faded. Ye Yao looked at the hospital building opposite from a distance across the road, frowning slightly: "What's going on?"
The sound of car horns and noisy voices are heard all around. The sound continued from all directions, and the urban area of Taoyuan City fell into panic and chaos due to the extinguishing of the sun. The sound of flutes played loudly on the road, and the densely packed windows of the high-rise buildings were lit up, like a Christmas tree covered with decorative light strips. Colors light up the city in the night.
Taoyuan City has never seen such a bright scene before, as if entering a sea of neon.
But among the bright neon lights, there was only one dark place, and that was Ye Yao's destination, Taoyuan West Branch of Qinzhou Medical College.
"The lights in the hospital were all turned off..." Ye Yao frowned and hesitated for a moment.
The power outage in the hospital was undoubtedly done by the last two survivors and the young man who got involved. What made Ye Yao hesitate was their motive for doing so.
People who hold special concessions are equivalent to possessing an extra sense, and the activation condition of this sense is a light source. Without light, there is no shadow. The rules of special concessions are in vain, which is equivalent to letting the industry go undefended. It would be foolish to cut off one's arm by going directly to the hospital. It is difficult to make such a decision without sufficient reasons.
So what drives their decision to turn off the lights?
A possibility came to Ye Yao's mind: "Maybe they did this to... save their lives?"
"Assuming that one of the three of them has solved the problem of 'cannot be looked at directly'" ' rule, and knowing that I am about to approach my body, so they are turning off the lighting and plunging the hospital into darkness. Perhaps they want to limit the triggering of this rule by reducing visibility..."
On the contrary clever.
According to Tu Yu, they were only exposed to strange events for the first time during the Bishuiwan Manor incident. Before that, they were just ordinary people, that is to say, they were hunted down by themselves. , it was the second time that person with a noble body came into contact with something strange.
He can start to reverse the rules soon after being exposed to strange events. Ordinary people have such strong psychological quality and logical ability... If he does not die, there will probably be a familiar face in the circle of promoted people with the code name Special Transfer.
"Unfortunately, the direction of action is wrong, and all efforts are in vain." Ye Yao shook his head, turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
A dark shadow quickly crossed the road against the wall and slipped into the hospital.
In the hospital, Ning Zhe was walking in the corridor with Bai Zhi, holding a shotgun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, planning to meet Feng Yushu who was still on the second floor.
Perhaps it was the tense atmosphere before the storm, but the two of them didn't chat much. They walked silently through the corridor that exuded a faint sweetness and walked towards the stairs - there was a power outage, so they could only take the stairs.
Neither of them noticed that in the pitch darkness on the first floor of the hospital, a group of shadows flowed secretly and followed them quietly.
Ning Zhe and Bai Zhi went up the stairs. In the darkness behind them, a pair of eyes quietly opened. The left eye was as golden as amber, and the right eye was as silver as metal. The beautiful and shining eyes looked straight at Bai Zhi. The back of the tall and straight man next to him.
So Ning Zhe stopped.
"Ning Zhe, what's wrong with you?" Bai Zhi turned around and asked.
"I..." Ning Zhe's voice was low and hoarse. His hands trembled, and the flashlight he held in his palm fell to his feet with a click, and rolled down the stairs.
But the shotgun held in his other hand tightened unconsciously.
"I must...kill..."
Ning Zhe held the gun with both hands and pointed the muzzle at his chin: "I must kill..."
Then a gunshot exploded Ning Zhe's head into a blood flower filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Pink brains and bright red blood fell on Bai Zhi's body.
The strong smell of blood in the air has already explained the content of the ideological stamp on Ning Zhe:
【I must kill Ning Zhe】
It will be released tomorrow
