Human Light Umbrella

"..." Neil nodded in agreement.

"Oh, that's the only way to go." Todd sighed.

"Okay, stop moaning, let's go!" The short-haired husband left the square with Todd.

The rest of the people were also kindly comforting and persuading, and then gradually dispersed. The short-haired girl led Carrie and Neil to her dormitory, ready to have a good chat.

Shortly after.

In Elena's dormitory.

This is a typical single-occupancy cabin, and its overall layout is no different from that of a single-occupancy apartment on the ground floor. The master bedroom, living room, and bathroom lack a cooking stove and a balcony with a wide view.

And Yi Lianna also decorated her dormitory a little bit, with potted plants and personalized carpets, etc., so it no longer looks too monotonous.

At this time, Elena, who came back from the outside, opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of lemonade with the red and white umbrella logo, walked to the center of the living room, and put one can on the coffee table.

Then she sat directly on the carpet under her feet, opened the tab of the can with one hand, took a sip, and asked facing the sofa, "Sir, don't you want to drink?"

I saw Lin Lin, who also changed into loose clothes, was sitting on the sofa, watching the conversation between Carrie, Todd, and Neil repeatedly on his exclusive mobile phone, without taking his eyes off the screen the whole time, and refused:

"No, I don't drink drinks."

"All right…"

Unlike a senior intelligence officer and a legend she looks up to, Elena seems a little restrained.

Slow down.

She took the initiative to ask again: "Sir, did you find anything?"

"... "

Lin was silent for a while, and after a while, he looked up at Elena who had almost finished her soda, and asked, "Has there been frequent quarrels like this recently?"

"Frequently..." Elena thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, it should be said to be normal, we sometimes have husbands and wives quarreling and even fighting.

But..." Elena put the can on the edge of the coffee table, and said in a deep voice, pinching her chin lightly with her left hand: "Today's one is a bit special, Carrie keeps repeating that it's not Todd, um, it's weird. "

"Really?" Lin put away his exclusive mobile phone, sat upright, and continued to ask Elena, "So Charles, have you noticed the difference in Todd?"

"No, the words and deeds are the same as before...Sir, you don't think that Assis has some kind of abnormal phenomenon that can imitate human beings, or abnormal creatures." Elena suddenly realized.

"This possibility is not ruled out. It is also possible that demons from different spaces occupy the human body. If it is the second type, it is beyond the scope of our jurisdiction. We need to let the Supervision Department take over this incident."

After listening to Lin's words, Elena's expression became a little dignified, and she said, "The Supervision Department... I hope it's not an abnormality related to a different space. By the way, sir, do you know what role vaccines will play in dealing with demons?"

"Effectively isolate our emotions and souls from projections in different spaces, and avoid the whispers of demons."

Lin didn't hide anything. After all, the existence of plague doctors was not a secret to B-level and above employees, and the existence of vaccines was also the same.

"Soul, emotions, whispers..." Elena nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Lin stopped talking about vaccines and different dimensions, got up and left the sofa, and told Elena:

"However, no matter what the possibility is, and whether you need to call the supervision department to intervene, you can't avoid the process of personal investigation. Keep this in mind, Charles De."

"Yes!" Elena stood up and saluted.

"Well, you will go to work as usual tomorrow and continue to observe the situation near the mining area."

"Okay, sir."

...

The next day.

Local time in the Callisto Galaxy is June 6, 26:07, "early morning".

The Assis crowd was surging, and most of them were miners wearing protective clothing, helmets, and engineering mechanical skeletons.

Among them are many engineering vehicles wearing only sleeveless vests and slacks, drivers of engineering exoskeletons, or maintenance personnel like Elena wearing red overalls to ensure that there will be no accidents in the mine.

Thousands of employees of various types rushed to the cafeteria to pick up their plates and enjoy the free breakfast provided by the company.

The bars, shops and restaurants of different styles in the Assis entertainment area are outsourced by the company, but the canteen is "self-operated" by the company, providing free meals for all people living and working in Assis. subsidy.

This is why people would rather endure a fully enclosed life for as short as three months, as long as half a year, a year, or even several years, and stay in Assis.

Although there is no company that can match Umbrella's benefits, but with Umbrella as the "big brother", companies from all walks of life have to move closer to Umbrella, try to improve employee benefits, for fear of employee loss or be complained about.

Around eight.

The employees finished their meals one after another, left the cafeteria and went to different mining areas, preparing to start the day-to-day mining tasks.

Stay after eight o'clock.

Many family members of the employees also woke up and went to the cafeteria one after another, leaving the entire dormitory area empty.

At this moment, in Elena's bedroom.

Lin has changed into a black close-fitting clothing, with multiple tactical bags and tool bags on his waist.

He first operated a few times with his exclusive mobile phone, then put the mobile phone into one of the tool bags, and put on the headgear with holographic lenses.

Followed by.

From top to bottom, Lin's whole body gradually blended into the surrounding environment like a chameleon, and "disappeared" directly, and there was no electronic or electric sound in the process.

Then the hatch of Elena's dormitory opened and closed.

And in the empty corridor outside.

In the row on the left, the dormitory with the door number "078" is the "home" where Carrie and Todd lived after a violent quarrel broke out last night.

The 078 cabin door also opens and closes "automatically".

In the monitoring room at the moment.

Six security guards with guns were monitoring Assis through the physical screen, but the dormitory area where Elena lived was a little blurry, with "snowflake" patterns flashing, which seemed to be a bad signal.

Because the monitoring has been secretly interfered by Lin.

However, the security guards didn't care. After all, many surveillance cameras have this problem and they are used to it.

If it bothers you, the guards will use the oldest and most effective way of repairing...

Tap the screen frame hard.

Besides, the security guards didn't put their minds on it.

At this time, another screen that also flashed "Snowflakes" intermittently showed that it was the one closest to the interior of the asteroid among the many mining areas. In the mining area, there was a silver disk-shaped spaceship Embedded in the rock wall.

It may have been tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer, when the spaceship suffered a mutation and was trapped inside Assis, unable to move, and now it was accidentally excavated by miners.

It's just that the six security guards and the miners in charge of digging didn't care at all, or they were ignoring the spaceship.

If you observe carefully, you can still see Todd, who scared his wife and daughter away last night from the fuzzy picture, who is also wearing a helmet and a mechanical skeleton.

At this time, a security guard reached out and turned off the screen, as if "deceiving himself", thinking that everything was as usual.

-------

...

Simultaneously.

Lin, who went into hiding by using the optical camouflage suit, was searching for information in the cabin of Carrie and Todd.

The structure of two rooms and one hall.

The house is messy, and it looks like a situation caused by quarrels.

Carrie and her son Neil stayed at the short-haired woman's house for the night last night, and now the three of them are eating in the cafeteria, while Todd and the short-haired woman's husband returned here to rest after drinking some wine.

There were still pillows and blankets on the sofa that hadn't been cleaned up in time, which indicated that the short-haired female husband spent the night on the sofa.

Lin found no noteworthy details in the living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom.

Come to the bathroom.

Looking around, there is nothing unusual on the surface alone, but Lin is not going to let go of all corners.

Check some.

?

Lin under the mask frowned slightly, because the bathtub, wall tiles and corners were all too clean.

From experience, he doesn't think it is the result of daily cleaning, and the shower curtain also looks like it was newly replaced.

Cover up the blood?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin switched the UV-A (ultraviolet) mode of the holographic glasses, but did not find a trace of blood.

Obtaining these results made him even more convinced that someone seemed to be covering up the blood, and that person was good and careful enough, but it was a pity that he couldn't fake the stains that had accumulated over time.

So Lin switched the various modes of the holographic lens, and finally found a few small white particles in the gap of the bathtub sink, which seemed to be deliberately crushed and chopped.

Then, using the visual aid provided by the lens, he took out the tweezers and the sealed bag from the kit, and clamped the white particles into the sealed bag one by one.

tidy up.

Lin put the touched objects back in place intact.

After arriving at the door, he used the detection function provided by the holographic lens again to confirm that there was no one in the corridor, then turned on the interference function of the mobile phone again, and quickly left here to return to Elena's bedroom.

-------

...

Shortly after.

The living room of Elena's cabin.

Lin, who was still wearing an optical camouflage uniform, was holding his exclusive mobile phone, sitting on the sofa and waiting patiently, while a "square box" was placed on the coffee table.

And this kind of "box" is an analyzer commonly used by intelligence officers. It is used to analyze the tissue composition of small objects and samples. Although the accuracy rate is not as good as that of the laboratory, it is convenient and quick.

Lin put a white particle into it, waited for a while, and the analysis result was displayed on the phone screen.

See here.

He is also habitually reading repeatedly to ensure that he will not miss a single bit.

瓷…

Porcelain…

Metal-free porcelain teeth?

Is it the crumbs of dentures?

The results showed that the white particles had an 89% probability of being full porcelain teeth.

This made Lin frowned, trying to think about how the dentures were related to the whole incident, and what kind of situation caused the dentures to fall off?

More than ten seconds passed.

Lin shook his head lightly, he couldn't figure it out just by thinking about it.

Immediately, he uploaded the relevant information collected, as well as the analysis results of the denture debris, and then asked the Ministry of Intelligence to help retrieve some files.

After completing various operations, Lin prepared to take off his optical camouflage uniform and wait for the "dead of night" to sneak into the mining area.

Whether it is experience or the so-called sixth sense, he believes that only the mining area can collect vital intelligence and evidence.

Chapter 3 Mutations, Distortions, "Be an ordinary person in your next life"

Near the mining area.

Elena, who had just checked the power distribution situation, took advantage of the rest and relaxation time to come to the public restroom.

Push open the individual rooms one by one to view them.

After confirming that no one was there, she walked into the innermost one, locked the door, took out her exclusive mobile phone, and then used the in-ear miniature earphone to contact Lin:

"Sir, did you find anything?"

The communication was silent for a while, but soon came Lin's short reply: "I have some clues, and I am going to sneak into the mining area next."

Hearing this, Yi Lianna lowered her voice and asked in surprise, "Sneak into the mining area now?"
