Xia Yu's best friend is named Su Xin, and she was her best friend in college. The two were basically inseparable in school, and occasionally visited each other during holidays, so she and Su Xin's parents knew each other.
This middle-aged couple has an extraordinary bearing. The clothes they wear are very valuable at first glance. It is obvious that they are both successful people in their careers.
But at this moment, the two of them are just worried about their children's parents.
Both of them looked sad, one was sitting on a chair and praying constantly, the other was pacing back and forth with a frown on his face, frequently looking in the direction of the emergency room, his worry for his daughter was palpable.
"Uncle and auntie!"
The atmosphere was depressing. Suddenly a female voice came from the quiet corridor, and Xia Yu was seen trotting over.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and she asked worriedly: "What's wrong with Xinxin?"
"Xia Yu? Why are you here?" Su's father was obviously stunned when he saw the person coming.
"I'm here to visit the classmate who was injured yesterday, Xinxin..."
Thinking of his daughter in the emergency room, Su's father's eyes dimmed a bit, and he sighed softly: "I don't know what's wrong. Xinxin said she felt a little uncomfortable last night, and we didn't pay much attention to it at that time."
"It wasn't until this morning when her condition became more and more serious that we realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly sent her to the hospital."
"How could..." Xia Yu looked worried and said anxiously, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor's judgment is that it was food poisoning." Mother Su, who was sitting on the chair, blamed herself. "It's all my fault. I had to reheat the leftovers from yesterday's lunch. We are obviously so rich..."
Su's father raised his eyebrows and immediately became serious.
"Don't talk nonsense,
Didn't the doctor just say that?
Xinxin’s food poisoning has nothing to do with leftovers.
You don’t want to take everything upon yourself.”
Xia Yu could tell that her uncle seemed to be scolding her aunt, but in fact he was comforting her and telling her not to think too much.
As expected, Mother Su's expression softened slightly, but she was still very worried.
Zhou Wei and others who rushed over heard the conversation just now and heard that their classmate Su Xin was sent to the emergency room. They immediately became nervous. They had just heard that the classmate who was injured in the explosion yesterday was in very bad condition. At this time, they did not want to hear bad news again.
News.
Ancient silence is thoughtful.
It is actually rare for food poisoning to be severe enough to be sent to the emergency room. Like the doctor at this hospital, he also felt that leftover food was not the cause of food poisoning.
Moreover, the doctor must have come to the conclusion after detailed questioning, and it should not be unreasonable.
Time passed by, and everyone waited anxiously until the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Su's father, who had been pacing, hurriedly approached her and asked anxiously.
The doctor was a middle-aged man who looked very calm. He said calmly: "The patient's symptoms are a bit strange, but please don't worry.
She is now basically out of danger."
Hearing the words,
Su Xin's parents breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely. Su's mother thought for a while and asked, "Then when will my daughter be discharged from the hospital?"
"It will take some time for the patient to wake up. My suggestion is that it is best to observe her for a few more days. After all, her symptoms are a bit strange."
"That's it, thank you doctor." Su's father thanked him again, having already made a decision in his heart to put aside all the company's affairs to spend time with his daughter these days.
And...eat less leftovers.
"I would like to ask, what is the strange thing about the patient?" At this moment, Gu Ji behind everyone suddenly asked.
The doctor glanced at him, thinking he was a family member of the patient, and explained: "The symptoms are generally similar to those of food poisoning, including nausea, vomiting, and dehydration."
"But one thing is special, that is, the patient had quite severe hallucinations, but fortunately he has recovered now."
Hearing this, Xia Yu and others, who had been nervous, breathed a sigh of relief again.
Gu Ji knew that it was not impossible for food poisoning to cause hallucinations, but he was a little curious about what "pretty serious hallucinations" meant.
However, he did not intend to continue asking so as not to worry the people present.
After Xia Yu's introduction, Su's father and Su's mother learned that Gu Ji was the person who saved their daughter yesterday. They immediately thanked him profusely, asking for dinner and money, but Gu Ji was ignored.
Rejected.
Everyone said goodbye to Su Xin's parents and left the hospital. After chatting for a while outside the hospital, Zhou Wei suddenly suggested that everyone have a meal together.
It's actually a bit early to have dinner now. Zhou Wei just said this just to stay with Xia Yu for a while. Everyone could see it, but they all understood it tacitly.
Gu Ji could also see what this guy was thinking, but Xia Yu didn't know if she did, so she declined the other party's invitation.
The reason is that she prefers to eat her own food.
Looking at Xia Yu and Gu Ji's leaving figures, and looking at the comforting eyes of his classmates, Zhou Wei couldn't help but sigh.
On the way home, Xia Yu kept chatting with Gu Ji. The latter was a little overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, and even gradually developed the illusion of "Am I becoming more handsome recently?"
Otherwise, why would Keke and Xia Yu trust him so much after they had just met him?
After thinking about it, Gu Ji felt that there was no more reasonable answer than this so far.
He received a call from Han Feifei on the way. It was said that Han Feifei recovered quickly psychologically, but she refused to have her memory erased and insisted on working as a logistics worker.
How could Han Fei agree? Although logistics personnel often do not face the dangers in foggy areas, it does not mean that they are in absolute safety.
On the contrary, there are not a few cases of unexplained deaths of logistics personnel. Once something happens, they, as ordinary people, have no room to resist.
He cursed and cursed Li Renkuang. Although there was a reason for the incident, what the other party did was still difficult for him to accept until now.
Gu Ji expressed that he was helpless about this. Whether he knew the truth about the foggy area actually represented two roads, each with its own benefits, and it was a matter of life and death. He did not dare to give Feifei casual suggestions.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have an idea. If one day Sister Guzheng would also learn the truth about the foggy area, how would he choose?
Hmm... I should respect Sister Guzheng's decision.
Of course, not every victim who has experienced the fog incident has the right to choose whether to erase their memory, and being selected by the Special Investigation Bureau can actually illustrate the abilities of these people to a certain extent.
I just don’t know what the Special Investigation Bureau’s basis is...
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
While he was thinking, a faint fragrance penetrated Gu Ji's nose. He turned his head and saw a big face full of doubts. It turned out to be Xia Yu who had brought his head closer.
"Why are you so close?" Gu Ji was startled and quickly distanced herself from her.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Xia Yu felt a little aggrieved: "Who asked me to talk to you and ignore me?"
"I was thinking about something just now, what happened?" Gu Ji also realized that he had been thinking for too long and actually ignored the movement around him.
"I just said, can I invite you to the restaurant for dinner?"
Have a meal?
Gu Ji said suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that you like to eat food cooked by yourself? Why are you going to a restaurant now?"
"I just suddenly remembered that I like to eat the food I cook, but you may not like to eat it."
"As long as you can eat it, I don't have high requirements."
Xia Yu shook her head and said seriously: "You are my savior. Treating you to a meal as a thank you shouldn't be too much, right?"
Seeing that Gu Ji had been thinking deeply for a long time, she became a little embarrassed: "You don't want me to commit myself to you, do you?"
"How about watching a movie? What do you think? Let me tell you something!"
She asked several questions in a row, and then she saw Gu Ji and raised his head as if he was aware of it: "It's not good to eat out, it might be dangerous."
No, after I asked so many questions, you actually just remembered to answer my first question. You can't be so slow, right?
Xia Yu was a little annoyed, thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't it be that my home is more dangerous? After all, there are invisible things around, which makes me want to live outside."
"I don't know what is in dad's bag of tips. Maybe there are suggestions in it. Why don't we open it first and take a look?"
She looked worried, but when she saw that Gu Ji had been thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Why do you always think for so long?"
Time seemed to stand still. It took Gu Ji a long time to come back to his senses and hesitantly said: "I live outside... have you brought your ID card?"
Xia Yu: "..."
In fact, Gu Ji was also aware of his own problems, and his thinking seemed to have become slow...
"There is an alienated person who is attacking me. I must find his location as soon as possible."
This idea naturally emerged in his mind, but by the time this series of subtle thoughts formed a complete idea, thirty seconds had passed.
He became more and more sluggish.
Xia Yu stretched out her white and tender palm and waved it in front of him.
At the same time, in a cafe near the street where Gu Ji was, a woman took a sip of coffee with a calm expression, then put down the cup, and focused on typing on the keyboard of the laptop in front of her.
She was wearing professional clothes, she should be an employee of a certain company, and she seemed to be working here.
But in fact, the corner of her eyes had been staring at the ancient silence on the street without any trace.
As an informant carefully cultivated by the organization, her business abilities are quite outstanding. Although she is only a C-level alienator, her abilities are quite hidden and she is very suitable for this kind of intelligence work.
The woman's ability is called [Logic Breaking], and its core application is to affect the target's logic without the target being aware of it, slowing down their thinking.
As the influence time increases, the target will become slower and slower, and eventually become a puppet controlled by her.
Although it takes a long time to achieve the step of manipulation, her ability is characterized by being unpredictable and difficult to detect. When the target notices something is wrong, it has often been deeply affected.
And the activation process is concealed enough that even if it fails, it will not be discovered.
As a qualified eyeliner, the woman has developed the ability to do two things at once. Most of her attention is on Gu Ji, and only a small part of her energy is allocated to typing on the keyboard.
And if someone looks at her computer interface, they will find that it is a planning document that was written after careful consideration, and there will be no flaws in it.
Just when the woman picked up the coffee cup and was about to take another sip of coffee, she noticed someone holding her hand.
After taking back all her energy, she turned her head and saw a man and a woman standing next to her.
One is a man with a long beard, and the other is a very young and beautiful girl.
"I'll buy you this cup. Come with us." Mei Xinyue took the coffee from the woman's hand and said softly, "Don't make any unnecessary resistance."
"Discovered?"
The woman was startled, and subconsciously wanted to resist and flee, but she suddenly realized that her ability was so hidden, the other party might not have really discovered it, maybe he was testing her.
"I don't know you, where are you taking me?"
She showed just the right amount of panic, which is a reasonable reaction for a normal person to face such a request.
Mei Xinyue leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Special Investigation Bureau."
Under the network formed by spiritual threads, although she could not see, she could sense many things - including the woman's position when she activated her ability.
"Where is the Special Investigation Bureau..."
"You'll know when you go."
Mei Xinyue interrupted her words, turned to the bearded man next to her and said, "Sister Qiao Ya said, catch each one you find, there is no need to pursue them all."
"Okay." The man kept stroking his beard, nodded when he heard this, and reached out to hold the woman's shoulder.
Get out of here and don't touch me with the hand you use to touch your beard!
The woman wanted to scream in fear, but she couldn't make a sound at all. She was controlled without any room for resistance.
"Don't worry, girl, I have a beard washer every day." The man gave her a friendly smile.
The latter was so desperate that he only felt sick.
…
In fact, in a corner that Gu Ji couldn't detect, the Special Bureau's fishing operation had already begun.
His appeal was so great that lurkers from many forces quietly took action, but were quickly discovered and captured by the Special Investigation Bureau.
"The Special Investigation Bureau also took action..."
Realizing that his thinking had returned to normal, Gu Ji realized that the confrontation surrounding him had begun. However, he did not panic because he had foreseen this kind of thing.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Xia Yu looking at him with a puzzled face, asking: "What happened to you just now? You were stunned for a long time like a wooden man..."
"I'm thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"Thinking about where to eat later."
"Ah? Do you need to think about this for so long..." Xia Yu muttered, and then said excitedly, "Then have you decided where to go?"
How excited is this girl...
Gu Ji was confused and nodded: "Just eat outside. It's your treat anyway, right?"
"Of course." Xia Yu was full of pride and led Gu Ji along the street.
The reason why we ate outside was because Gu Ji also planned to take a look at the tips bag while eating.
The two of them turned left and right and soon came to a food street.
"This store is not far from my home, and the food is delicious." Xia Yu walked into the restaurant as she talked about her treasures.
Gu Ji nodded, and just as he was about to follow him, he saw Xia Yu running out in a panic, grabbing his hand and running with him.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ji felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and thought there was something wrong with this hotel.
