Indescribable cyberpunk

"Sorry, we don't have a police officer named West here. Sir, are you looking for the wrong person?"

It took about two minutes before the reply from the operator of the Jesse Town Police Station came on the other side. I don't know if it was because he was looking for a list or for some other reason.

"Maybe I got the name wrong, sorry to bother you, please go ahead and get busy."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jue's eyes fell on West again, and then said,

"Look, the operator at the Josetown police station said that there is no such person as you. I like to rely on facts, and I can't just rely on words."

"Of course they will say they don't know me. Now that they acknowledge my existence, doesn't that mean they indirectly acknowledge the darkness hidden behind them?"

When things got to this point, West was also upset. After thinking for a while, he continued,

"I chose to let you see the body first instead of sending it to the police station, just to let you know that the painter is also a victim, and the first corpse you saw was indeed discovered by the painter first. He is a crazy person. The artist wanted to get himself a prize by painting the transformation of the corpse. This was not a good idea, but I can testify that the artist was not the murderer, he was just out of his passion for art, and I discovered it by accident. I called the police immediately about this matter. Because of the special nature of the matter, I directly contacted the Archaeological Association. What happened next was not difficult to guess. I thought I had discovered a cult and the police station in Josetown would protect me. Who knew the painter? I was killed, and I was also deceived by people in the police station into going to the swamp lake under the pretext of missing persons, and almost died there."

"Then you took the opportunity of our arrival to deliberately put the painter's body in his bedroom, and then used a stone to remind me that there was an insider, and then came out to tell me the truth when the opportunity was right? "

Following West's words, Zhu Jue continued.

"Yes, I know that I will definitely not be able to expose this cult with my own abilities. No one will believe me if I tell you what happened here, because they have completely controlled this town. Didn't you find all the traces about the body? Has it been destroyed? I’m afraid not even the deceased’s family will reveal any valuable information to you, right?”

West was very satisfied with how Zhu Jue started thinking under his guidance.

"So, what I need to know is evidence that can clearly identify the existence of a cult in Hesse Town. Otherwise, no matter how realistic you are here, I will not be able to arrest people with these few words of yours. The Archaeological Association is not a mafia gang. .”

"It has only been less than a week since the accident. If there is clear evidence, can I just report it to the Archaeological Association myself?"

West asked with a frown.

"Huh~ That's all?"

Zhu Jue took a long breath and looked at West with an unknown smile on his face and asked.

"I don't have time to investigate what happened. This is all I know. Now they must be gathering people to look for the two of us. Quickly contact the Archaeological Association and ask them to send a large number of people nearby to support. It's still not too late."

Although he didn't understand why the man in front of him repeated the same question again, West explained and once again tried to urge Zhu Jue to contact the Archaeological Association.

"Don't worry, what you said makes sense, and I definitely believe you, but I have a secret that I haven't told you. How about you listen to what I have to say first?"

The hand on West's shoulder increased. Zhu Jue took a step forward, closing the distance between the two. His eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he looked directly at West.

"Mr. West, I think you should do more research on the background of the person coming from the Archaeological Association when you are looking for someone. Josetown is my hometown!"

West, who was still full of doubts, raised his fist almost as soon as Zhu Jue finished speaking. His face was also covered with black scale-like lines, and the raincoat on his body swelled as if it had been blown out, killing him. Full of meaning.

Yes, why did he go against common sense and call the police before, and why did he say that was better.

I should have thought a long time ago that this guy is not a member of the Archaeological Association at all, but an accomplice of the cult planted in the Archaeological Association!

This was completely unplanned!

However, just when he was about to get angry, Zhu Jue changed his face and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm kidding you, I..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Even the noisy rainstorm could not stop the stiff air between the two at this time.

"Officer West, you're like this, you want to kill me, and you actually used the ability injection. Did you lie to me just now?"

West was changing his body when Zhu Jue said this. The former's fist awkwardly stopped in mid-air, and he could neither move it out nor withdraw it.

"I'm sorry, the pursuit during this period has made me a little mentally sensitive. You just said that your hometown is Hesse Town, so I had an overreaction. Please don't misunderstand me."

Forcibly suppressing the power again, if it can be saved, West does not want his long-prepared plan to go bankrupt so easily.

"Your ability injection looks a bit special. How did you, a policeman, get it?"

Zhu Jue looked around West "curiously", as if he had never seen this form of transformation before and wanted to take a second look, and then asked.

"Haha, how can there be no way for people in our field? I am not from Hesse Town, but was assigned here. The place where I worked before was very dangerous. I can't do it without some life-saving things. You take it What are you going to do when you go down?"

Obviously, West did not want to continue on the issue of ability injections and took the initiative to change the topic.

"It's very simple. Since you have been exposed, of course I will use you as bait to catch those big fish hidden behind the scenes. Didn't you say that they will definitely find someone to kill you? When the time comes, I will just be watching nearby to see who catches you. , whoever is a member of the cult, the Archaeological Association will naturally deal with them, what do you think of this idea?"

"What if they want to kill them all?"

"So I was watching nearby. I only need to use my mobile phone to record the video and send it to the Archaeological Association in real time. This is the best evidence. Even if the cultists want to explain, they can't explain it clearly. It's just that You might have to take some risks.”

Zhu Jue said it as a matter of course, but suddenly the topic changed and he muttered in a low voice,

"Anyway, you can mutate into a monster. When the time comes to fight, if you really can't beat them, just join them. This is also a way to survive."

"How is this possible? I'm with them."

West answered subconsciously, but realized the trap in Zhu Jue's words midway and stopped.

"What do you have with them? Is your mutation state different from theirs, or do you have a grudge against them?"

In terms of identifying monsters that are sources of mental pollution, Zhu Jue's perception is more sensitive than those machines. He had actually noticed the lines on West's face the moment they appeared. Later, he just wanted to test this guy and the cult in Hesai Town. What is the relationship?

"You fool me?"

Even a fool knew that his concealment had long been seen through. West had no intention of continuing to hide. The lines on his body reappeared, and he gritted his teeth and growled,

"Kill you and blame those guys in Hesse Town who can also achieve their goals!"

Now that the window paper has been pierced.

If the soft one doesn't work, get the hard one!
