Indescribable cyberpunk

In the hospital in Hesai Town, Zhu Jue was sitting in a wheelchair. His injured right leg had just been bandaged. He was studying the intelligent operating system loaded on the wheelchair with his head tilted to the side. He was wandering in the corridor of the hospital with Olivia.

The raincoat was downstairs, so there was no reason to bring it with me when I was dressing the wound.

After struggling all afternoon, it was already dusk. The gradually increasing rain could be felt from the dense water droplets hanging on the corridor windows and the dull rumble that reached the ears. It made people feel depressed involuntarily. There seem to be a lot fewer patients in the hospital.

"Why do you suddenly think of coming to the hospital?"

Olivia asked doubtfully as she sat on a plastic chair on the side of the corridor with jelly pudding in her hand.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm injured, and you can't even bandage the wound?"

Taking out the handbag that was originally in his backpack and stuffing it into his arms, Zhu Jue continued,

"To be honest, your shot was quite timely. You should have told the police about my injury, right?"

With Zhu Jue's physique, a gunshot wound of this degree is nothing. The ability he gained by eating the evolved meat of the ghoul allowed Zhu Jue to recover easily through food supplements. Since he came to this hospital, he naturally has other abilities. considerations.

"Well, I told them that they will send you back to Dawn City for training tomorrow, but will this really be effective?"

Although Zhu Jue's idea was a little strange, Olivia still informed the police station in Hesse Town in advance according to what he said.

"What do you think we can do based on the confession of a mentally polluted mutant?"

What West said before, Zhu Jue actually tended to believe that it was the truth. After all, although West had conspiracies at the time, there was no need for him to deceive Zhu Jue on such matters, but some things were never what he thought they were. It's really useful.

Zhu Jue can use various means without scruples against the monsters that cause mental pollution, but this is a small town under the jurisdiction of the federal government. If he wants to conduct a large-scale search, he must produce clear evidence, even if It is impossible for anyone within the Archaeological Association to trust the spiritual pollution monster, let alone the government.

The reason why West was thrown directly into the Hesse Town police station was simple. Zhu Jue wanted to leave the choice to the Hesse Town police.

Whether they have any problems or not will be revealed tonight.

"What happened to you at the lake before? I have never seen you in that kind of situation. Don't say you are stupid because of reading. I don't believe it."

While speaking, Olivia was still deliberately bringing the topic to what happened just now.

"Reading is just an inducement. The guy in the swamp lake wants to control my spirit and turn me into its believer. Without your shot, you might see me in the cult camp now."

Zhu Jue stretched out and described the "terrible incident" that almost happened just now in a calm tone.

This was an accident that even he didn't expect. Although similar states had occurred in the past when the furbolg's will was still there, it only restricted his actions. He still had self-awareness and thinking, but this time it was an exception. .

Of course, this was also due to Zhu Jue not taking precautions in advance. After all, the police station in Hesai Town was at least a few hundred meters away from the swamp lake.

"Are these two officers from the Archaeological Association?"

Olivia was about to speak, but the voice behind her made them all stop talking. A nurse in a white dress trotted over from the other side of the corridor and asked.

"Yes, it's us. What can I do?"

"Just now, the mayor knew that the two of them were injured. He asked us about the situation, and then told us that we wanted to invite the two of them to a festive cocktail party in the town. He wanted to express his gratitude to the two of them in person. After all, they are tomorrow. Just leaving town.”

The nurse's eyes kept wandering back and forth on the two people's faces as she spoke, as if she was trying to find some clues from their expressions.

"tonight?"

Zhu Jue frowned and asked, and then answered with obvious displeasure,

"You all know that I'm injured and yet you ask me to go to a cocktail party. It's raining again. Olivia, why don't you go alone?"

"How can I go alone? You probably won't be able to sleep tonight anyway. What does it matter if I go? Two glasses of wine might be able to relieve your leg injury."

Olivia naturally understood the implication of Zhu Jue's words, and looked at the nurse with a look of embarrassment and asked,

"Can you just go for a while? We will come back after the mayor's thanks are over."

"I think this should be okay. The call hasn't been hung up yet. How about you two do it now?"

"No, just go and say it."

After saying that, Olivia pushed Zhu Jue's wheelchair and turned away. The nurse stayed there for a while, watching the two people's backs go away, and then ran to reply as if she had thought of something.

"I didn't expect to be able to hold back so quickly. Aren't they afraid that we will learn about the situation in this town from West's mouth and become wary of them?"

They held a small cocktail party to express their gratitude the night before leaving. This kind of behavior would not be strange in normal times, but it was a bit puzzling when they knew that there was something fishy in this town.

"What you should think of is that because we may know some special information from West, they must deal with us before we leave."

He took the remaining half of the pudding in Olivia's hand without taking her spoon, tilted his neck and swallowed it, smacked his lips twice, and continued,

"One of us is a disabled person. We just suffered a thigh injury. With so many people watching in the hospital, we can't always fake it. In the eyes of others, I am a waste now, and you are the only one left. You must know that they are here. Their base camp, if they don’t even dare to take action, will all the years they spent occupying Hesai Town have been in vain?”

After all, those guys hiding in the shadow of Hesai Town cannot afford to bet on that eventuality. If Zhu Jue and Olivia get hold of their evidence, they choose to let these two people leave Hesai Town. The result is unbearable for them. of.

"This cocktail party is just the two of us, and you are in this state."

After listening to Zhu Jue's words, Olivia was a little worried. No matter what, Zhu Jue's injury did exist.

"Before you go in later, you have to find a place to escape or hide. Once a conflict breaks out, you have to leave that room as quickly as possible. You don't have to worry about the rest."

Since he has made up his mind to take risks, he must communicate well in advance. Zhu Jue is not afraid. As long as Olivia can ensure his own safety, even if the other party does have some special means, he can still find a way to escape.

"Are you going to fight them alone?"

"If nothing else, it's enough."

Zhu Jue turned the pudding box in his hand. The translucent box gave off a strange light under the incandescent light of the hospital.

Slow and melodious saxophone music played in the tavern, and light brown notes floated around the beams in the form of holographic projections.

Beige chandeliers hang in several corners. There are a lot of them, but the light is not very bright. There are shadows in some places, leaving a blank space for people who are whispering.

The amber liquid swayed in the glass, and the ice cubes swayed and jingled as the glasses collided.

"Do these people really have a problem?"

Olivia sat on a wooden barrel-shaped chair, looking at the lively townspeople in front of her, and began to doubt whether her guess was correct.

Couples who were over 100 years old in total were communicating in low voices. Middle-aged people gathered in small groups, holding their wine glasses high, occasionally letting out light laughter. Young men and women were swaying their beautiful bodies on the dance floor, and the faces on everyone's faces were All are filled with happy emotions.

This is quite different from what they imagined before they arrived.

"Just wait and see."

Zhu Jue smoothed the wind chime with one hand and held the snacks on the table with the other. He glanced at Olivia and continued,

"One more thing, when I ask you to leave, you follow the wind chime out."

"Okay, I will protect the wind chimes."

Olivia knew the importance of wind chimes to Zhu Jue and immediately nodded in response.

"What are you thinking? I let it protect you."

"ah!"

Although she knew that wind chimes were not simple, Olivia still felt angry at Zhu Jue's naked contempt.

"Let us give our warmest applause and cheers to the two chiefs of the Archaeological Association who came all the way from Dawn City to help us in Jose Town!!!"

Not far away, the mayor of Josetown grabbed an old-fashioned loudspeaker hanging from the rafters and spread his voice to every corner of the tavern.

The ensuing wave of applause and cheers made Zhu Jue and Olivia raise their hands and wave in embarrassment. Neither of them likes to be in the spotlight, and even their seats were deliberately close to each other. The door is relatively close to the wall.

Of course, there is also the consideration of having a good run later.

Fortunately, there was no part to express their feelings. Everyone started to play their own things, and it looked like a holiday party.

"Did you find any weapons or ritual props?"

Although Zhu Jue said there was no need to worry, Olivia could not help but observe everything around her with the corner of her eyes while sipping her wine, paying attention to any place where anti-personnel substances might be hidden. Even this glass of wine was It came from the unopened wine she specially took from the wine cabinet when she entered to ensure that it would not be drugged in advance.

"Don't think about it. Their weapons are not here. The plan has changed. Don't go out from the door later. Find a way to get through the window on the inside of the tavern. The potion is ready to be used at any time."

Zhu Jue leaned back against the wall of the tavern and whispered.

In front of him, people in the tavern were singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was warm.

Behind him, in the heavy rain outside the tavern, a large number of figures were walking through the bushes.

The twisted and festering body was completely lifeless, with skeletal claws dragging along its sides, craving for blood.
