Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

In the information age, rumors are like flying horses with wings, always spreading at an unimaginable speed.

Even though it was already off-duty time, the news that "someone died in the control room of the search bureau" quickly spread throughout all the floors of the Venus Tower. For a while, the news from NAVI headquarters went viral, and almost all the overtime and off-duty people were talking about this matter crazily.

Even if it is limited by regulations and time, most of the office floors are not full of people, but in the dark, countless screens are shining brightly. Messages flickered frantically on various screens, expressing people's excitement and desire for knowledge.

In any era, "dead people" are always the most heated topics. Especially when this kind of topic is associated with such terms as "beside", "mist", "weird", and "search bureau", it is easy to arouse people's desire to discuss.

Chatting frantically about all kinds of supernatural things, about all kinds of illusions or real anomalies found in life. All the fear and curiosity about the fog that were hidden in the usual days turned into a frenzy for eating melons at this moment. With this enthusiasm, they began to dig out more details frantically. Some people even took it as a signal of the bankruptcy of the Search Bureau's "concealment of spiritual existence", and wondered whether someone would announce the relevant information tomorrow.

As more and more details flowed out, the talk of the new district blazed like wildfire. Especially when the two messages of "the cursed person will die" and "the next cursed person is the searcher Chang Jian Shenxiu" are unearthed. It even pushed this hot discussion about [weird] and [fog] to an unprecedented climax within NAVI.

...

Jian Shenxiu is a very patient person.

Although it looks like he is only in his twenties, and his occupation is this kind of job - [If you don't take the initiative to find it, the clues will never jump in front of you by itself], but many people in Xue Jianze Among the superiors, this young chief inspector is still the most patient group.

Patience means calmness. When encountering emergencies, you can wait for changes in the situation, and you will not be rash, and you will not impulsively make some choices that you regret. The so-called "patience" is such a quality.

But when you're waiting for something...

What about [death] time?

When someone who is tortured and full of madness announces that you will die in twenty-four hours, and has already died exactly before you. Especially when everyone around you starts looking at you with strange eyes, fearing that the curse will spread and waiting for you to die at any time. When those eyes fall on you with fear, worry, curiosity and excitement.

Can you still maintain this patience and composure, and go to work as always?

...

"Boom boom boom."

The crisp and regular sound of knocking on the door spread with the collision of finger bones and the door of the Chief Inspector's office.

"Crack."

Then there was a crisp sound, and before the "please come in", the door of the office was opened a gap. The light in the hall shone in from the outside through the crack of the door, illuminating the dim office. With the entry of the person coming, the light gradually closed again, returning to the darkness again.

"..."

Unlike the noise outside, the office seemed a little quiet. Before the hooded boy came in, there was only one person in the office, but there were two creators of this silence.

These two people are Jian Shenxiu and "Ueda Ayumi". At this moment, the projector on the desk in the office is projecting the video of Ayumi Ueda's last hour before his death on the wall. This video is not silent, but because of the silence of Ayumi Ueda in the video, it shows a sense of déjà vu like a silent film. Seeing Shenxiu outside the screen was also quiet, leaning on his chair, staring coldly at the video in front of him. Looking for all the information I could find in the video.

The unanimous silence of the two people inside and outside the video constituted the inexplicable sense of tranquility in the office at the moment. The two people on and off the screen just stared at each other, which gave Markesias the illusion of "they are looking at each other" for a moment.

No, this is of course an illusion.

Markesias, who was holding the coffee, shook his head and shook these absurd thoughts out of his mind.

What is playing now is just the video left by Ayumi Yamada before his death. How could there be such a "look at each other"?

"Owner."

So he took a quick step forward. Walking to Jian Shenxiu, put down the cup in his hand, and called out to him softly.

"Your coffee."

"Mr. Xiu."

It seemed to be a subconscious conversation, Jian Shenxiu didn't even look at the young man who entered the door next to him, he just looked away from the video to look at the cup, and then continued to turn his gaze to the video.

"yes."

Markesias nodded and bowed, and said again:

"Mr. Xiu."

"Ayumi Yamada's mental state began to change significantly at 5:52."

Seeing Shenxiu taking a sip from his cup, he said to the boy next to him while watching the video in front of him intently.

"Before this, he seemed very excited and worried. But at 5:52, he suddenly became quiet."

"Um."

"At this time, his sanity is very clear. He had 27 conversations with the surveillance personnel, and four of them happened at this time. At this time, he didn't feel any emotion about life, but he didn't repeat that he didn't want to die. gone."

"Um"

"In the next ten minutes, he began to look a little confused. He seemed to be thinking about some funeral issues, but he had no wife and no children, and he didn't seem to know who to explain the funeral to. He asked the monitor some of these aspects The question shows that his consciousness is still his own consciousness, and has not been changed."

"Um."

"Ten minutes later, his expression began to change. There was an obvious change in his mood. He didn't talk to the monitors. I don't know what he was thinking during this time. But obviously, he was It was during this time that the decision [to commit suicide] was made, because then he started asking the watchers to go to the bathroom."

"Um."

"After that, it's simply his showtime. He's pretending to be in pain just to trick the watchers and give him the space to commit suicide."

"Um."

"Why are you just um today."

Seeing that Shenxiu finally turned his head to look at Marchesias, the search chief frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"Mr. Xiu," Marchesias didn't avoid seeing Shenxiu's eyes, but just reminded him earnestly. "People outside are discussing something."

"What's up?"

See Shenxiu raised his eyebrows.

"They will talk about you being cursed again. The last one was Ayumi Ueda, and the next one will be you."

"..."

Seeing that Shenxiu heard the words, he seemed to be stunned. He didn't seem to think about it at all, and it seemed that he just remembered it now. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly looked at the hooded boy and smiled.

"Then what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas. But they are talking about it. Miss Xi Wei is also very worried about you." The hooded boy said with his head down.

"Oh?" Jian Shenxiu twitched his mouth. "Why do you want to emphasize Xi Wei specifically?"

"Because..." Markesias paused. "Miss Xi Wei represents the opinions of many people."

"Does it represent the views of many people?"

Jian Shenxiu nodded with emotion, and then seemed to meditate for a few seconds. Standing up from the chair, he put his coat on himself.

"After listening to your words, I was ready to review myself for a few seconds. I don't know when I was negligent, and I actually gave them the illusion that this kind of thing can threaten me."

"But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem necessary. Things like confidence are always built slowly."

The search chief smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing the hooded boy's little head. Then took him to stride outside.

"Since they still have doubts..."

"Then just crush all the weirdness, including their doubts... together?"

"Go! Go to the Institute of Biology!"
