Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Mysterious Prophecy

The morning sun was shining brightly through the windows.Luo Fei's complexion was gloomy, in stark contrast to the bright weather. He was sitting at his desk, frowning and looking at the computer screen not far away. Early this morning, an eye-catching headline appeared on the news homepage of a well-known domestic portal: "Invisible Demon Appears in Longzhou, Scaring Many People to Crazy, Unknown Situation."In just two or three hours, this press release has received tens of thousands of hits and nearly a thousand replies.After Luo Fei got the news, he immediately turned on his computer and browsed the article that was spreading wildly on the Internet.

I have to admit that the writing and structure of this article are very good. The author described in detail the many horrible incidents that happened in Longzhou City in the past two days with extremely powerful words. Among them, the one that surprised Luo Fei the most is undoubtedly the following This passage: "... On the night of the 13th, Captain Luo Fei of the Longzhou Criminal Police Team rushed to the School of Medicine of Longzhou University and asked Zhou Liwei, a famous psychiatrist, for help. The two of them carefully analyzed the situation they had. What exactly is it? Can the victims in the case feel so horrified? And why can other people at the scene not be affected? There are still no clues to answer these questions. Could it be that in Longzhou City, a terrifying invisible demon really appeared? , and these people are all its chosen sacrifices..."

Obviously, someone who was present last night must have disclosed the news to the outside world.Luo Fei quickly identified the biggest suspect in his mind, and then called Zhou Liwei. As soon as Luo Fei mentioned the Internet news, Zhou Liwei became furious: "Yes, I know. Several reporters have already called to interview me, which is really messy. The person who wrote the article is How do you know the inside story?" "Those were the only ones present at the time. I suspect that it was your student who spread the news." Luo Fei spoke straightforwardly without going around in circles.

"My student?" Zhou Liwei's voice sounded bewildered. "That's right, it's the one named Liu Yun. The 'devil' and 'sacrifice', aren't these all his words?" "You mean that young man last night? He is not my student." Zhou Liwei retorted solemnly, "Didn't he come with you? I thought he was also a member of the criminal police team!" Hearing this, Luo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "I know. At that time, I was preconceived and identified him as your student. We didn't understand each other, and we were taken advantage of by this person."

"Then who the hell is he?" "Then do you still need to ask?" Luo Fei replied with a wry smile, "Probably a reporter. He knows about some medical records, so he came to interview you. He happened to meet us passing by, so he followed the opportunity and heard all the ins and outs of the matter. .This news is of course written by him.” "This matter is a bit troublesome." Zhou Liwei was worried, "Let's not say that it will affect my work, some things spread, and it will inevitably cause panic in the society." Luo Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "The best way now is to keep silent. Don't accept anyone's interviews. Today's reporters are terrible. Whatever you say, he can add embellishments to hype it up."

"Yes." Zhou Liwei fully agreed with Luo Fei's statement, "I think so too!" But the panic still inevitably spread.Longzhou is not a very big city. The citizens asked each other, and soon found that the terrorist incidents mentioned in the news were not groundless.More and more calls were made to the Municipal People's Hospital and the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau, asking about the origin and development of the situation. Luo Fei felt tremendous pressure.He mobilized the criminal police team as much as possible and devoted himself to the investigation of the incident.Nearly 20 police officers were scattered to all corners of the city to conduct detailed visits and investigations on each case that occurred.

On the other side, Zhou Liwei was also very busy.The work of diagnosis and pathological analysis of patients has not stopped for a moment.Fortunately, the Department of Psychiatry of the People's Hospital has the first-class scientific research and treatment facilities in the country, which enabled him to fully display his knowledge and talents in this process. In the evening, the police officers who went out returned to the team one after another.Luo Fei called everyone together and held a case briefing. Everyone's work should be said to be serious and meticulous, and the interview transcripts gathered by everyone formed a thick pile in front of Luo Fei.But when speaking, everyone spoke very briefly, because they really didn't find any valuable clues.

And things seem to be getting worse.As of four o'clock in the afternoon, four new cases of similar cases were reported today.In addition, some citizens reported that they also experienced an inexplicable feeling of terror, but this feeling was not very strong, and it did not last for a long time. This naturally reminded Luo Fei of that girl named Xu Ting, and her description at the time matched the feelings of these people.It was an illusory and abstract feeling. No one could tell what it was that frightened them at the time, but they really felt that sense of oppression and fear. Luo Fei leaned his body slightly, put his right elbow on the armrest of the chair, stretched his index finger and thumb to lightly pinch his chin.He wasn't in a hurry to look through those transcripts. It must be a job that required a lot of time and enough patience to sort out valuable information from so many materials.But in the current state of confusion, as the captain of the criminal police, the most important thing is to point out a clear direction for the next work.

The police officers were also looking at Luo Fei expectantly, and the venue was silent for a moment. In such an atmosphere, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and Zhang Chenglin, secretary of Luo Fei's office, walked in. "Captain Luo, I have a call from you." "Who? What's the matter? I'm in a meeting." Luo Fei frowned slightly because his thoughts were interrupted. "It's a long-distance call from Yunnan. They say they saw news on the Internet and have clues to provide." "Yunnan?" That's thousands of miles away from Longzhou, how could anyone provide clues?Although he was confused, this unusual phone call aroused Luo Fei's great interest. He immediately stood up, left the venue, and walked quickly towards the office.

The handset of the phone was lying idle on the desk, and the caller ID showed the area code from Yunnan. Luo Fei picked up the receiver: "Hello. I'm Luo Fei." "Hello. My name is Xu Xiaowen." Unexpectedly, Luo Fei's soft and pleasant voice showed that the person standing on the other end of the phone should be a young woman. "Are you in Yunnan?" Luo Fei first pointed out the doubts in his heart. "Yes, I saw what happened in Longzhou on the Internet, are these...are these true?" The woman who called herself Xu Xiaowen asked Luo Fei. Somewhat confused about the other party's intention, Luo Fei pondered and didn't answer right away.

Xu Xiaowen immediately caught Luo Fei's emotion: "You don't have to worry, I'm not curious, and I'm not a boring reporter." Luo Fei was moved by the other party's sharpness and straightforwardness, he smiled slightly, and then said frankly: "Of course the article is exaggerated, but the basic facts do exist." "It actually happened. It's unbelievable. I really can't believe it." Xu Xiaowen said hastily. Although thousands of miles away, Luo Fei could still imagine her excited expression when she spoke. The subtext in the other party's words caught Luo Fei's attention even more, and he immediately asked: "What? Did you know it would happen before?" As if she didn't know how to speak, Xu Xiaowen hesitated and remained silent at the receiver. After a while, she slowly said in a deliberately calm tone: "What I'm going to tell you next is what I experienced half a year ago. It will sound ridiculous, especially in the current situation. However, I can guarantee with my personality that everything I say is true-you, will you believe me?" Although he has never met, Luo Fei has a strange intuition: this woman is sincere and trustworthy.Without any hesitation, he immediately replied: "Just tell me, I believe you." "Thank you." The other party politely expressed her gratitude for this trust, and then she began to talk about the memory that left a deep impression on her mind. "I am a graduate student majoring in language at Yunnan University for Nationalities. There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and the main content of my study is the indigenous languages ​​they use every day. About half a year ago, I received help from a mental hospital in the provincial capital... " "Psychiatric hospital?" Luo Fei interjected in confusion, he couldn't think of any connection between this and Xu Xiaowen's major. "Yes. This mental hospital admitted a strange patient. His symptoms... I think you should be able to guess." Luo Fei blurted out: "Schizophrenia caused by excessive fright?" Xu Xiaowen gave an "um" to show her affirmation: "The hospital encountered a problem when treating him. This patient said some incomprehensible words, because a few sentences were repeated back and forth. The doctor judged that this Not mindless gibberish, but quite possibly some indigenous language of a minority." "So they invited you over, just to know what that person was talking about?" "yes." "Then you understood what he said?" Luo Fei had already sensitively realized that some very crucial things were hidden in this person's words, and he held his breath waiting for the other person's next words. "He said that in August, the demons from Uncanny Valley will come to Longzhou." Xu Xiaowen said clearly. August?It's August!Luo Fei was stunned. He was full of expectations, thinking that he could get some clues related to the cause of the disease.But who knew that what this patient in Yunnan actually uttered was a prophecy. Mysterious, weird, incomprehensible but extremely accurate prophecy!
