Chapter 121 The Day of Doomsday (Twenty-Four)
At first, the audience in the live broadcast room were still discussing the base and the two bodies. Until Qiao Yuan just entered the bathroom, the atmosphere of the barrage was quite harmonious:
[So those two corpses are indeed infected people. It’s too scary to see two faces stuck on the window in the middle of the night.]
[I subconsciously opened the window and looked in]
[I don’t know why, but when I saw the man’s corpse, I felt a dull pain in my cheeks.]
[Liu Dong's hand...hiss, it hurts just looking at it. Fortunately, it will return to its original state after leaving the dungeon, provided that he can leave the dungeon.]
[Yu Guo gives me a weird feeling, so is there really no one posting gossip about her, even if someone who knows her comes forward]
[Speechless, the person who said there was a melon just left this sentence and ran away]
[I searched the case she was talking about and found this episode. It seems like she is a loyal viewer who likes to watch related programs.]
[Speaking of which, Sister Qiao is going to meet Sun Ji today]
[What Sun Ji? Please call him Sister Qiao’s employee]
[Luckily, Sister Qiao is not my department leader, otherwise she would be the kind of person who could trick me into volunteering to help with work with just a few words]
[Damn, I know how to fix my colleague who always throws things to me]
[I am more interested in Sheng Guiye's recipe, can you really share it with me?]
[Bubbling, just want to see the boss cooking]
[Sure enough, with more viewers in the live broadcast room, you can always see Sheng Guiye’s men]
[You can ask if there is anyone in Song Yanchi’s live broadcast room on the forum, maybe you can see him cooking]
[Wait, why does it feel like Qiao Yuan is stunned?]
[Are you thinking about the infected? When I’m thinking, others think I’m in a daze.]
[…Why did she suddenly punch the wall?!]
In fact, after feeling the pain on the back of his hand, Qiao Yuan had already guessed something.
Sure enough, when she asked the system, she found out that in the eyes of the system, she had been standing here from beginning to end, with the bathroom door open and no mirror in front of her.
It was just her illusion from the beginning to the end.
As footsteps were heard at the door, Qiao Yuan caught a glimpse of Song Yanchi and others walking in directly.
The moment Song Yanchi stepped into the door, he asked anxiously: "Sister, what happened?"
A few minutes later, the four of them sat back on the sofa, and the other three were able to hear the whole story from Qiao Yuan.
When Song Yanchi heard what Qiao Yuan said, his first reaction was to check Qiao Yuan's hand. Fortunately, Qiao Yuan used cleverness instead of brute force when he hit the mirror, otherwise his hand would have been broken.
Only after seeing that Qiao Yuan was fine did Song Yanchi breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Guo asked with interest, "You mean you had hallucinations, so could it be caused by the two infected people you met yesterday?"
"But why are you the only one here and we have nothing to do?"
Qiao Yuan shook his head: "It shouldn't be those two."
She had also thought about the two questions raised by Yu Guo.
Her first reaction was that it was done by the two infected people last night, and there was a one-sided hatred between her and the two infected people, so it was understandable if the two infected people only attacked her.
But Qiao Yuan quickly overturned this speculation. After all, the two corpses did not look like they could do that, otherwise they would not have been beaten and fled in panic last night.
Moreover, she felt that the other party's purpose in creating hallucinations for her was obviously to make her confuse the boundary between reality and illusion. Whether she was injured because of hallucination or encountered an infected person in the real world, because of thinking about whether the injury was an illusion, the other party should be happy to see it happen.
It was just that she was lucky last night, as her companions were present when she encountered a real infected person.
Qiao Yuan actually already had a suspicion in his mind——
Her shadow.
But this only means that the other party has also sneaked into the base, and the helpers they found are more powerful than she thought.
Since it involved his own shadow and it was just a suspicion at the moment, Qiao Yuan decided to keep it secret for the time being. Fortunately, the other three seemed to have their own thoughts as well.
Because of this sudden situation, the conflict between Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye was finally temporarily resolved.
Song Yanchi no longer had the heart to learn how to cook. He stayed by Qiao Yuan's side, nervously watching her every move. Yu Guo would point to a certain place from time to time and ask Qiao Yuan what she saw.
Breakfast turned into lunch. After the simple meal, the four people did not forget their appointment with Sun Ji and others, so they went to meet at the hospital entrance after lunch.
Qiao Yuan and others arrived earlier, but Sun Ji did not show up until after the agreed time.
Song Yanchi didn't like the feeling of waiting in the first place. Seeing that nearly twenty minutes , he turned around and said to Qiao Yuan, "Sister, are they not coming?"
"Maybe he didn't find anything, or he encountered something, so he simply broke the appointment," Yu Guo also echoed.
However, Qiao Yuan didn't think Sun Ji was someone who would break his promise, so he decided to wait a little longer.
Another five minutes passed before Sun Ji and others appeared in front of Qiao Yuan.
When he saw Qiao Yuan was there, he was obviously relieved: "I was delayed because of some things, fortunately you are still here."
However, he obviously had no intention of saying what it was. Instead, after leading Qiao Yuan and the others to a secluded corner, he immediately said, "I have already investigated the matter regarding Aqua Regia. How is your investigation going?"
Wang Shui seemed to be the name of the man from yesterday. Sun Ji obviously assumed that Qiao Yuan had already investigated it, so he mentioned a name without thinking.
Although there was no investigation at all, Qiao Yuan did not show it on his face, and put on a proud look: "Almost."
"Wang Shui is single and has been in jail..."
These were the news that Qiao Yuan had heard from the crowd before, plus some speculations, some true and some false, and he talked for several minutes.
Sun Ji's expression changed from serious to relaxed. Looking at his expression, Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Sun Ji should have found out more than what he had found out.
As for the possible cause of Wang Shui's death, Qiao Yuan said that he was being pursued for revenge. After hearing what she said, the player next to Sun Ji immediately interrupted her triumphantly: "No, although you did a good job in investigating Wang Shui's identity, your investigation into the cause of death was wrong. It was not a revenge."
Noticing the look from Sun Ji, the player immediately shut up and put on a flattering smile, knowing that he must not steal the limelight from Sun Ji.
And Sun Ji only spoke up after the male player next to him shut up, "It's not revenge, nor is it because of a terminal illness. The security team was afraid of causing panic, so they colluded with the doctors in the base and concealed some things."
"At that time, Wang Shui actually only went to see a doctor once. Before that, he went to the security team and claimed that there were infected people in the base and they tried to attack him. But the security team naturally didn't believe that there were infected people in the base. In addition, Wang Shui himself was not seriously injured, so they recommended that he go directly to a psychiatrist."
When they heard Sun Ji's words, Song Yanchi, Sheng Guiye and Yu Guo all subconsciously turned to look at Qiao Yuan. After all, Wang Shui's experience seemed somewhat similar to Qiao Yuan's.
Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he asked immediately: "And then?"
Sun Ji knew that Qiao Yuan was the core of these people, so he kept paying attention to the changes in Qiao Yuan's expression. As a result, he was not so concerned about the other three people, so he continued to speak.
Thanks to his connections in the security team, Sun Ji even met the doctor who was the first to witness Wang Shui jump.
Wang Shui didn't know whether it was because he had no other choice or because he listened to the security team, but he finally chose to see a psychiatrist.
Because the base has always been peaceful, there are not many people in the hospital, especially in the psychologist's department, where there is almost no need to queue.
The psychiatrist still remembered that when he first met Wang Shui, he acted very strangely. He looked tired and tired, as if he hadn't slept for a long time. But when he heard a slight sound, he would suddenly open his bloodshot eyes and look around like a frightened bird. He also insisted on getting close to the psychiatrist, asking the psychiatrist to save him.
The psychiatrist patiently comforted Wang Shui and wanted to ask what happened. Unexpectedly, at this moment, something strange happened. The other party suddenly looked like he was stunned. He stared at the psychiatrist and then shouted in horror: "You...you are infected!"
The psychiatrist naturally knew the name of the infected person, but she didn't understand why Wang Shui suddenly called her that. She thought that the other party was suffering from the doomsday PTSD left outside the base before, so she tried to slow down her tone and try to calm Wang Shui's anxious emotions: "Mr. Wang, calm down first, I am not an infected person..."
She didn't get to finish her words because Wang Shui suddenly picked up the pen on the table and poked it directly into her eyes.
The flesh on the other's face trembled as if they were all exerting force together. He clenched his teeth tightly, and there was a desperate madness in his eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the psychologist really felt a strong murderous intent from the other party at that time.
The other party really wanted to kill her.
And the way Wang Shui looked at her was not like he was looking at a human being.
After realizing this, the psychologist subconsciously stepped back. Fortunately, Wang Shui had rested well in the past few days and his speed was not fast, so the tip of the pen finally poked into nothing.
The psychologist also realized that Wang Shui now had a strong tendency to attack, so he quickly stood up from his chair and wanted to run to the door to call other people in the hospital or the security team for help.
Unexpectedly, after she stood up, Wang Shui seemed even more panicked than her. He threw away his pen and took a few steps back, as if he wanted to distance himself from her.
At this moment, Wang Shui seemed to catch a glimpse of an open window nearby. He suddenly showed surprise, stepped onto the windowsill flexibly, and jumped down.
Everything happened so fast that the psychologist was too late to stop it. He could only watch Wang Shui jump out of the window and fall heavily to the ground amid the screams of people outside.
From the time Wang Shui entered the psychology department and met the psychologist, it took less than ten minutes in total.
The psychologist quickly asked people from other departments to come downstairs to check the situation, and the security team also arrived quickly.
Liu Dong's contact is the deputy captain of the security team, who was not present at the time. It was only heard that the captain who was nearby led the team to deal with the matter.
After the captain left with Wang Shui's body, he also talked to the psychiatrist and asked her to keep the incident secret. However, because she witnessed a person jumping down from in front of her, the psychiatrist was actually quite frightened and did not want to mention it again.
If Sun Ji had not been introduced by the deputy captain and promised to keep his mouth shut, she would not have told this matter.
After Sun Ji finished speaking, he looked directly at Qiao Yuan and said, "This is what I found out."
"According to the bet, you lost and should join our team."
He looked at Qiao Yuan, and a look of pride finally revealed in his eyes.
After all, he had not forgotten Qiao Yuan's previous provocation.
Qiao Yuan said cheerfully, "Of course, I will accept the loss."
The other three naturally said that they would go wherever Joe wanted to go.
Sun Ji was a little confused about how quickly Qiao Yuan and his team agreed to the deal. He felt that they didn't care much about it. But he thought it was because Qiao Yuan had the good quality of being willing to accept defeat, and he needed such a subordinate. So he said directly, "You are also very capable. I can let you be my deputy directly."
