Since The Red Moon Appeared

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, then he recovered himself, stretched out his hand to support the little face of the doll on his lap, and slowly sat up straight.

But as soon as he got up, he saw that the doll had also sat up straight, with a satisfied smile on his face.

It turned out that she had also woken up just now, but she was just lying on her lap without opening her eyes.

Lu Xin shook his head and walked out of the room. Under the guidance of the service staff, he came to a room on the left side of the first floor of this small villa, where there was an old-fashioned copper-colored telephone. aside. Where the doll lives, the trees are too lush, the place is remote, and the signal is poor, so communication is often done through this landline.

Lu Xin picked up the phone: "Crooked?"

"Single soldier, how are you getting along with the doll?"

Chen Jing's voice came from the microphone, still calm and powerful.

Lu Xin answered honestly, after all, being with the doll is part of the mission: "It's good, we'll sleep together for a while."

"Um?"

Chen Jing was obviously a little surprised.

"On the sofa, on the sofa..."

Lu Xin hurriedly explained: "I was tired of reading the materials, so I took a nap."

Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "There is a problem with the investigation team that collected the basic data of Happy Town."

"Um."

Lu Xin nodded in agreement without interrupting, and listened to Chen Jing continue to talk.

"The news came half an hour ago."

Chen Jing speeded up her speech and said: "After you submitted the preliminary information about Happy Town last time, Qinggang sent a team of seven to set up a team ten miles away from the radiant edge of Happy Town. an observatory."

"It is intended to prevent any sudden changes in the restricted area, and at the same time record the changes in the radiation in the restricted area."

"We have always been very cautious about this kind of observation station in the S-level pollution area. In addition to a series of alarm devices for abnormal phenomena, the personnel of this observation station will also make regular contact with the Ministry of Special Clearance every three hours to avoid Something went wrong without knowing it.”

"That's where the problem lies."

"The first step of the investigation team we sent this time is to contact the staff of this observatory first, and then expand that observatory as the general observation center, and establish several observation points to provide the overall basic data of Happy Town. collect."

"However, when our people sent out today arrived at the observation point, they found something serious."

Hearing this, Lu Xin was also a little curious: "What's the problem?"

At this time, the doll had been following behind Lu Xin, standing there obediently, listening to the conversation between Lu Xin and Chen Jing, she saw the change in the expression on Lu Xin's face. Glancing at the phone, thoughtfully, he suddenly turned around and walked straight upstairs. This is her home anyway, but Lu Xin didn't notice her actions and changes.

"The staff at the observation point."

Chen Jing paused for a moment and said, "...Already dead."

"Um?"

Lu Xin was a little surprised and subconsciously said, "What do you mean?"

"Simply put, it's..."

Chen Jing tried her best to make it clear: "An hour ago, the observation point clearly had regular contact with the headquarters of the Special Clearance Department, which showed that everything was normal. And half an hour before the information collection team rushed to the observation point, they also contacted them. After contacting them, everything is normal, and they are waiting for their preparations. However, when the collection team rushed to the observation point, they found..."

She paused and said: "The work at the observation point is as usual, all the staff are here, and they are handling their work in an orderly manner, and even they are ready to welcome the information collection troops, but the problem is that …”

After a pause, she said softly, "They are already dead."

"Large corpse spots have appeared on their bodies, their hearts have stopped beating, and some have even rotted..."

"But they themselves didn't notice it at all and are still working hard."

"..."

Lu Xin suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Then this..."

Chen Jing nodded and said:

"This shows that, all along, the people who have been in regular contact with us on a regular basis are simply some dead people."

"The last time this observatory had face-to-face contact with Qinggang was three weeks ago. Now that such an accident has occurred, it means that we don't even know what the observatory has been in these 20 days. Time went wrong, and…”

"What went wrong!"

"..."

Lu Xin thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is a bit strange..."

Chen Jing sighed helplessly after listening to Lu Xin's words.

She wanted to say that it wasn't just weird, but she was used to Lu Xin's slow reaction.

Lu Xin didn't notice anything, and asked with a frown, "Is there any other anomalies at the observatory?"

"some."

Chen Jing said softly: "For example, around the observatory, some electronic components of unknown origin were found."

"For example, the information collection team collected an unknown mental radiation in the observation station..."

"The information-gathering unit we sent in the past has undergone rigorous training and knows not to act rashly at this time."

"They have withdrawn from the observatory and are waiting for professionals to come and investigate."

"..."

Lu Xin nodded hurriedly and said, "What do you mean by that group leader?"

Chen Jing said: "According to our process, either we will send an investigation team to investigate the cause first, or we will select a suitable person from Qinggang to investigate, but since it is too close to Happy Town, the best choice is Yes……"

Lu Xin understood and said, "Then let me go."

Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be moved. After a pause, she said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Now you can come to the Special Clearance Department to join me first."

"..."

Lu Xin agreed, and then went upstairs to get his bag.

But at this moment, he saw the doll coming down the stairs.

She put on a black Gothic dress again, a pair of new black Roman lace-up boots on her feet, a smiling fox face mask on her face, an umbrella in one hand, and the other He was carrying his black bag in one hand.

It looked like he was about to go out.

"This……"

Lu Xin understood the meaning of the doll at once, so he had to explain to her: "I can't take you with me when I go out this time. I'm going to work and going out of the city. It's too dangerous for you, so you still wait here. I, after work, come to see you again, okay?"

The doll lowered her head and continued to walk forward.

Lu Xin reached out and grabbed her wrist, and the doll stopped.

Lu Xin looked at her and smiled slightly.

Pulling up her wrist, she took her black bag, and smiled, "Go back!"

He waved to the doll and walked out of the door with his bag on his back.

Holding the umbrella, the doll quietly stood in the hall watching him, watching his back disappear without moving.

Wearing a mask on his face, I don't know what the expression is.

But the service team members next to him were already very distressed.

...

The car was already waiting at the door, and Lu Xin got in the car directly.

Five minutes later, it was in front of a three-story white building on the west side of the Special Qing Department.

Someone was waiting below, and they led Lu Xin through the long corridor and came to an office at the end. As soon as they entered, they found that it was quiet inside. All the staff, as well as Chen Jing and several professors, were all there. Listen to an outgoing audio.

"The information gathering team has arrived, right? Did you find any other problems?"

"Hehe, there's no problem, we just care, did the collection team bring us the latest magazines and Erguotou this time, but these guys just came over to show their heads and ran out, saying that there are regulations on them, I can't contact us for the time being, I said, when did this breaking rule come out, are they a little too careful..."

"...Well, understand, you also know that our rule is that the more careful the better."

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything about it. By the way, can we withdraw as soon as they come?"

"In this broken testing site, I can't call the family directly. The child is three years old, and I want to die..."

"..."

After Lu Xin walked in, he nodded to Chen Jing and listened.

This seems to be a normal regular call.

Various contact points, large and small, established by Qinggang in the surrounding area will make such regular contact every three hours.

Some time is long, some time is short, and sometimes the operator and the observer will chat for a while on a whim.

This is done in order to judge whether there is something wrong with the observation point through various details and exchanges.

Now this call is a very normal-sounding call.

"Okay, don't worry for a while, I'll tell you above."

At this time, a researcher in a white coat said softly and hung up the phone.

Only then did Lu Xin realize that what he heard just now was not a recording, but a normal contact call.

"Until now, they didn't know there was something wrong with them."

When the researcher turned around, his face was a little dignified, even a little scared.

Completely different from the calm and cordial voice during the call, the voice seems to be trembling slightly:

"The data reports and mental test reports they handed in during this period of time are all very normal."

"Even the contact number just now was called in accordance with the rules."

"The only abnormality is..."

He paused and said in a low voice, "...We all know that this call was made to us by a dead person."

...

In the conference room, the temperature seemed to drop a bit.

None of the staff present was rushing to speak, because they didn't know what to say.

The most calm one was a young man in a black suit with a flat head and a tender appearance.

He stood up and said, "Then, now our problems are mainly two."

"One, is to investigate why they became like this."

"The other is..."

He paused: "How should I tell them that they are actually dead?"
