Odd Containment Specialist

Chapter 522: The next step

While eating, Xia Shou smelled a fragrance, a very peculiar fragrance.

"What's that smell?" Xia Shou picked up the hot pot seasoning and smelled it, and found that it was not the source of the fragrance.

"Brother Xia Shou, what's wrong?" Su Yue looked at him curiously.

"Did you smell... a fragrance?"

"What fragrance? There are too many fragrances now. The quality of this meat is really good." Gu Liang was focused on the hot pot.

Xia Shou touched his chin and racked his brains to describe the smell, but he couldn't find the corresponding comparative material in his mind. The fragrance of lilies?

Some of the characteristics of this smell are a bit similar, and there is a little bit of jasmine, but it can't be said to be the fragrance of jasmine, or even the smell of flowers. The reason why lilies and jasmine are used as examples is just that this is the closest metaphor that Xia Shou has searched in his mind.

He has never smelled this smell before, just like smelling jasmine in a world without jasmine. This smell is difficult to describe specifically. Without a vivid expression carrier, it can only be described as good smelling.

Just when he was about to trace the source, it disappeared after a careful sniff, very faint.

Moreover, it seemed to be drifting from Su Yue.

Xia Shou picked up a strand of Su Yue's hair and smelled it, but the hair that was repeatedly soaked in blood and dried only had a strong fishy smell of blood, and no fragrance.

"Hey! Are you a pervert?" No. 102 frowned and reminded.

Su Yue's cheeks were a little hot, but the moon in the underworld was originally red, so there was no change in her face.

"What...what's wrong?" Su Yue asked in a low voice.

Xia Shou thought for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing, let's eat."

The smell was indeed there, vaguely, and it was difficult to find the source, just like occasionally smelling some bad milk of unknown origin at home, but you can't find the source of the bad smell anyway, except that this time it was a fragrance.

And judging from the reactions of No. 102 and the others, they couldn't smell it at all, which meant that the smell was either very subtle, and only he, as the recipient of the scorpion spine implant, could detect it with his keen sense of smell, or it was... because the depth of the Root Sea had sunk.

Xia Shou could only think of this possibility at the moment, because the price didn't appear when he just sank to a lower depth, but suddenly a smell that only he could smell appeared, which was really a bit of a coincidence.

Delusion?

But Alice didn't react at all.

Or, Alice couldn't distinguish delusion in terms of smell?

No, she should be able to distinguish it. Although Alice's ability mainly attacks vision, the first delusion was an auditory hallucination, and it was Alice who reminded him that she should be able to distinguish smell.

When we are alone, ask her.

Xia Shou ate absent-mindedly, while the others chatted about daily gossip that had nothing to do with the mission. In the middle, a few rescued mortals came to talk to Su Yue and talked for a long time.

It can be said that the reason why these hundreds of people are so emotionally stable now is that Su Yue has contributed more than half.

As a national idol of China, she is well-known to everyone. Although she is far from being famous all over the world, she has a certain degree of popularity in foreign countries because of the movie "The Confined Girl".

In this extremely bad and desperate situation, with a celebrity who knows you and has a very friendly attitude as a leader, the sense of security will naturally grow wildly.

This is called the "fellow villager effect" in psychology, which means that when you come to a strange place, having familiar things can greatly increase your inner sense of security and reduce anxiety and panic.

Out of the village, people from the same village are "fellow villagers".

Out of the city, people from the neighboring village are "fellow villagers".

Out of the country, people from the same country are "fellow villagers", and compatriots are another name for "fellow villagers".

If there are aliens, then the identity of earthlings is fellow villagers.

As a public star, Su Yue is an ordinary person, and is well-known because of her exposure. The persona she has built on the screen for a long time is almost perfect.

In the eyes of this group of ordinary people, apart from Xia Shou, the one who saved them, Su Yue is the most trustworthy.

If we only talk about intimacy, Su Yue is even better than Xia Shou.

Although these hundreds of people are not considered combat power, they can provide great help as basic logistics. They helped with the camping of the clock tower. Because their bodies do not belong to them, they will not feel tired and work very hard.

"Shen Fei, when the time comes, you and Xiao Yue will ask them how they were caught by the funeral home and what they experienced before they became like this. You will definitely be able to find out something." Xia Shou said.

Shen Fei nodded.

Then Xia Shou continued: "In addition, we must also make the worst plan."

"What worst plan?" Gu Liang was stunned when he heard this.

No. 102 glanced at Gu Liang coldly and said lightly: "The plan to help thousands of people get rid of it."

Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xia Shou in confusion.

He knew what liberation meant, and he was also very clear about the rules and procedures of the Control Bureau in carrying out missions. Sometimes, the Control Bureau would indeed abandon civilians, and they had all done this.

But what Gu Liang didn't understand was why they had to make such preparations now that they had been rescued.

"Idiot, you are too slow to think about this kind of thing. Look, Shen Fei understands it." No. 102 said.

"I don't understand, what does it mean? We... you saved them all!" Gu Liang said to Xia Shou.

Shen Fei took the initiative to explain: "Because we only saved their heads, their bodies are still in the funeral home."

Xia Shou said more directly: "If these people are important to the funeral home, the funeral home may not do anything to their bodies, but it is more likely that the funeral home will directly destroy their bodies.

If they are destroyed in the underworld, they will be no different from those in the hell. If they are transported to the real world to be destroyed, then although they will not be tortured by pain, they cannot return to the real world because their bodies are really dead."

Gu Liang's expression darkened, and Su Yue was also stunned.

They didn't think of this level at all.

No. 102 took a sip of Coke and looked at Xia Shou: "You thought about it a long time ago, and you saved them... So, what do you want to do?"

"Investigation, intelligence collection, we can always get important clues from them. The influence of the funeral home in reality is obviously not as small as the control bureau judged. At least they can kidnap so many people quietly.

In addition, undercover, send them back to the funeral home, let these people act as our undercover, even if someone can't stand the torture and betray, it doesn't matter, anyway, they don't know our key information.

But if someone can stick to his original intention and provide us with help after being undercover, it would be the best.

We will explain these to them later."

No. 102 nodded, Shen Fei and Gu Liang just sighed and said nothing.

Xia Shou's arrangement is impeccable, and it is even the only choice.

It is the best for these mortals and for them.

Their bodies are in the hands of the funeral home, so it is impossible to get rid of the control of the funeral home.

"Of course, I have to explain my plan clearly to the people in the Clock Tower. This plan requires the cooperation of everyone." Xia Shou said with a cold look.
