Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 338: Segmented Detection to Find the Spy
Yujing headquarters building.
I have been working overtime for several days in a row recently, and even the body of a psychic feels a little overwhelmed.
As a not-so-new recruit, Tian Qing has already brought out several batches of new recruits and is now bringing in a few more.
Lin Weimin and his apprentice walked in from outside, and Tian Qing quickly asked, "Brother Lin, is there a problem with the report just now?"
Lin Weimin shook his head. "No, it has been confirmed that a child has awakened superpowers and has not told the adults. Team Six made a wasted trip."
"Depend on!"
They thought they had discovered traces of the dead, but it turned out to be a mistake.
"How the hell are hiding?"
He couldn't help but swear, because he hadn't found any clues at all after investigating for these days. It was exhausting, and the key point was that he didn't gain anything. He was tired physically and mentally.
Tomorrow is a long holiday.
A large number of investigative activities have been discovered and reported in various places some time ago. What should we do if the Undead spies take advantage of the holiday to carry out some major incidents while they are on full alert?
Time seemed to be counting down, and the closer it got to the holiday, the more uneasy they felt.
Yang Chengrong is currently in a meeting with some experts in biological structure research and other fields. The theme of the meeting is how to pull out those undead spies from the vast crowd of people.
"At present, the information we have obtained is that if the spiritual light value is high enough, it is possible to detect the faint breath of the undead. We have made a portable detection device, but the prerequisite for using it is to be close enough."
This was the last message Qiao Ji sent them. At present, they have not made any further progress.
The instrument is similar to the tools used for security checks. It is a black board that can be held in one hand and scanned at people.
"But we have just produced the samples. It will take some time for mass production."
Another expert spoke up: "We have figured out a way to deal with the undead's self-destruction measures. We will use the same idea to guide them, preferably to the sky."
The way Qiao Ji handled the situation last time gave them an obvious idea, which is that it is very difficult to forcibly cover up the power of a self-explosion.
However, guiding it toward the sky and letting it vent out is much simpler, and it can even be done with the assistance of special equipment with only high-level Xuan-level telekinesis.
"We had someone process special equipment that contains sublimation power, which can guide and release the power of the undead's self-destruction. If this equipment is used by a high-level Xuan-level telekinetic ability user, according to our calculations, even if the power exceeds three times the power of the last self-destruction, it can still be guided."
“How many sets of equipment have been made now?”
"There are only thirty sets for now, and this is thanks to Warehouse No. 6 for providing material support."
Thirty sets are barely enough, and we also have a way to deal with the undead spies after finding them.
Of course, this is just an emergency response method. In fact, in order to deal with undead spies, there are now a large number of earth-level psychics deployed from all over the country. Once undead spies are discovered, earth-level psychics will be given priority to take action.
Unless something special happens, a Xuan-level psychic will be asked to take special equipment to deal with the emergency.
"Is there a way to locate the location of the Undead Spy? The long vacation is almost here."
silence.
The experts at the meeting fell silent. This issue is the most pressing, but also the most difficult.
"Ahem, let me say a few words." A middle-aged man spoke.
"Professor Song, please speak."
"As for this undead, according to the only sample we have, they are spirits that have taken over their bodies, and the bodies are still active, which makes them basically no different from us in appearance and living habits."
The driver was not transformed by an undead spy using some kind of transformation ability, but an undead spirit that occupied the body, replaced the other person's life, and still maintained the other person's life trajectory.
This is why he appeared on the construction site, because the undead spy did not want to change the original life trajectory of his body and arouse suspicion. Although this had a certain impact on his gathering of information, it was not significant.
"Professor Song, we all know all this." Yang Chengrong reminded him. He was not in a very good spirit, mainly because there had been no progress in recent days and he felt like there was a huge stone pressing on his heart.
Even if I just lay down on the table for a short nap, I felt like someone was holding my heart.
There are difficulties, and they are huge. The Undead spies are hiding too well now, and they can't find them at all. They are no different from ordinary people.
Unless people can be taken for testing, the results should be very obvious, but this is totally impossible. China has such a large population, can all of them be tested?
It would be better if we could narrow the scope further.
Professor Song smiled and continued, "We found food residues in the stomach of the only specimen. They were all very common vegetables and meat, which means that his diet is the same as ours."
"Everyone eats the same thing, so there's no way to investigate from the perspective of where they buy their food," Yang Chengrong said quickly.
The ghosts in the last Painting Fairy incident all bought live pigs to eat their meat and drink their blood. This is an obvious characteristic and can be used as a basis for investigation.
But this time, the undead spies even eat the same food as humans. How can we investigate them?
Professor Song pushed up his glasses, reflecting the light of wisdom, "They eat the same thing, but their poop is different."
"Um?"
Pulling differently?
"We conducted a full range of tests on the only sample and determined that he was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person."
almost.
Everyone knew that this was definitely a turning point.
"But the problem lies in their excrement," Professor Song said. "In fact, we didn't notice this at first until you gave me the permission. I couldn't find any ideas, so I looked through all the news about the undead. Then I saw a paper about the black fog. At this time, I found a breakthrough."
"The black mist is energy, matter, and spiritual force. It is a weakened version of the power of sublimation. This is the main point of the paper."
"So I was wondering, if the undead carries the black mist, then after he occupies the human body, will the black mist enter the human body's metabolism?"
"The answer is yes. The black mist has entered the human circulation. Although the amount is so small that it is difficult to detect, it is real and we have detected it."
At this point, everyone probably understood Professor Song's approach to solving the problem.
"Since we can detect trace amounts of black fog in the excrement of undead spies, I asked the author of the paper, Comrade Qiao Yao from Warehouse No. 6, for help yesterday and designed a method to detect black fog, because we have never detected black fog before."
"Right now, Warehouse No. 6 has sent people to collect samples from all the sewers in Yujing. As long as we conduct segmented testing to find out which sections have problems and which ones don't, we can pinpoint the approximate range of the Undead spies' activities."
Everyone nodded.
Technology is still the best. We can use this method to find traces of undead spies.
"Warehouse No. 6 also has quantum computers that can assist with big data analysis. Before I came to the meeting, they were still testing samples from various sewers in Yujing. They said they would give me the results within fifteen minutes."
Professor Song looked at his watch and said, "It's already twenty minutes."
Yang Chengrong hurried to the computer and asked, "Cangjie, has the location of the Undead Spy been locked?"
The police system has also been using the new version of the Cangjie system for assistance. It is extremely efficient and can save a lot of time. It has received unanimous praise from everyone within just two days of use.
If they hadn't been so overwhelmed by the undead spy issue these days and hadn't been working overtime, they should have had less workload because of the new version of the Cangjie system.
"The specific location has not been locked, but through a large amount of data comparison, the range of activities of the Undead Spy has been obtained. However, the area where the Undead Spy is active has a large population. It is recommended to make careful arrangements before arresting him."
On the projection screen and on the map, some places were marked in red. The new version of the Cangjie system had helped them narrow the scope to the residential area.
Yang Chengrong nodded and smiled for the first time in these days.
"Finally I found you bastards."
