After a while, the Moore researcher also came to the office.

He is actually just a deputy. The main person in charge of this incident, Simon Brown, has died in the first investigation.

After some introductions between the two parties, Yang Xue asked: "Comrade Moore, according to the contents of your report, since the beginning of 2224, there have been occasional incidents of civilians throwing themselves into the sea near the Bay of Bengal. Why did you not start the investigation until recently?"

Moore said: "The situation was not so serious at the beginning. During that time, a suicide organization emerged on the Internet. The local police thought it was a suicide, so they didn't pay attention to it. Until a while ago, they camped there one night. Dozens of people threw themselves into the sea at the same time, and we only got help from the local government."

Yang Xue nodded: "You and the deceased Comrade Simon Brown both went to the beach to investigate, but you were fine, but he threw himself into the sea. Did you make a judgment and why?"

Moore shook his head: "I went with him at the time, and we were together almost the whole time, so I don't know why."

Yang Xue asked again: "There were three days between when you went to the beach to investigate and when Brown threw himself into the sea. Did he show any abnormalities?"

Moore frowned: "No, it's quite normal. We had dinner together the night before he threw himself into the sea—if there was anything unusual, I remember him saying that he forgot his daughter's birthday."

Yang Xue nodded, thoughtfully.

Brandt asked: "What, Director Yang Xue, did you find anything?"

Yang Xue hummed lightly: "I have some ideas, but I'm not sure yet."

Yang Xue asked a few more questions, and Moore answered them one by one.

After Moore left, Brant asked, "Dr. Yang Xue, what do you want me to do next?"

Yang Xue shook her head lightly: "You guys maintain the original state and don't move. In addition, please help me find a few family members of the parties. I have some questions to ask them."

Brandt said: "This is not a problem, but for the sake of confidentiality, we need the cooperation of the local police, which will take time."

"It's okay, I'll go to the beach to have a look tomorrow."

"what?"

Yang Xue looked at him: "Is there any problem?"

"I'm fine, but Dr. Yang, are you sure you want to go?"

Brandt was actually afraid that something would happen to Yang Xue. After all, the investigators at their site and the team at the headquarters of the Administration had already been tricked last time.

That beach has been blocked by the management authority and turned into a restricted area, and other people are not allowed to approach.

Yang Xue has not slept for two days and one night. She rested in the site for one night. The next morning, she was about to leave for the beach, but she did not expect the local police to be quite efficient. She has already contacted several people who are willing to cooperate. The victim's family, Yang Xue went directly to the local police station.

Yang Xue stayed at the police station all morning, and rushed back to the station at noon.

Brant asked, "Anything to gain?"

Yang Xue nodded, and handed her transcript to him for a look.

After Brant saw it, he was very surprised: "Dr. Yang, you mean, these people had memory loss before the accident?"

Yang Xue nodded: "Not all, the probability is around 20.00% to 25, so I would like to ask, Director Brandt, whether there are any items near that beach that can affect other people's memories."

Brant pondered for a while, as if he had gained something, then he glanced at Yang Xue.

Yang Xue took out the transfer order signed by No. [-]. Before coming, her security level and personnel level had been raised to the highest level.

Brandt took a look at the transfer order, and then nodded.

"The number of that item is 3000."

……

Thanks to Mr. Qin Zhidao for the reward.

4 Chapter Twenty

Just finished writing, allow me to correct typos.

3000——Ananda Shesha.

Ananda Shesha is a huge aquatic snake-like creature, very similar in shape to a moray eel.

Its head size is about 2.5 meters in diameter, and its body part can reach a diameter of up to 10 meters. The overall body length cannot be measured, and it is estimated to be 600-900 kilometers.

Its body is very large, so it generally does not like to move, and only moves its head during specific stimulation or feeding, and most of its body is located in the Ganges sector.

3000 is a carnivore. Although it is rarely active, it has the ability to move quickly to kill its prey. However, according to the Authority, it is speculated that 3000 does not actually need nutrients to maintain biological functions. It eats for other purposes.

Ananda Shesha has a certain degree of cognitohazard, observing it directly or entering a certain range around it will cause severe psychological changes to the observer, and the personnel will experience unexplained headaches, delirium, feelings of fear and panic, and Memory Loss or Alteration.

Although 3000 is very dangerous to humans, the Authority classifies it as Thau, because it excretes a thin, sticky dark gray substance from the skin during its prey feeding, which was named Y909 by the Authority, while This Y909 is the main ingredient of many amnestics.

To sum up, the Administration attaches great importance to 3000. It can be said that a large part of the significance of the existence of the area53 site is because of it.

Brandt said to Yang Xue: "Dr. Yang, in fact, during the initial investigation of the incident, the first target we suspected was 3000, but its head is hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline, and it has always been in the vicinity of the warship. Under surveillance, there was no change, so we had to shift the direction of the investigation."

Yang Xue looked carefully at the information on 3000 that Brant gave her, and then nodded: "Based on this alone, it is indeed impossible to conclude that the collective throwing into the sea incident was caused by 3000, but the suspicion of it still cannot be ruled out, Brant Director, I want to go and see it."

Brent said: "Dr. Yang Xue, it's very dangerous there, you have to think carefully."

"Don't worry." Yang Xue smiled, "I've thought it through before coming here."

Three days later, Yang Xue rushed to the depths of the Bay of Bengal on a special boat of the Administration Bureau.

With a distance of more than 200 nautical miles, they rushed for two days and one night, and arrived at the target sea area at dusk on March [-]th.

The sea level shimmers under the light of the setting sun.

Yang Xue looked far away from the boat she was on, and saw a small black dot at the end of her sight.

As the ship advanced, the small black spot grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a giant warship.

The name of this giant warship is Ereita.

It has served in this sea area for a full ten years, and its mission is to follow Ananda Shesha to ensure that it is always under the supervision of the Administration.

An hour later, Yang Xue boarded the warship.

The name of the person in charge of the warship is Brown Judson, an old general who is nearly seventy years old.

Yang Xue saluted him.

Judson returned the salute, then smiled and said, "Little girl, your posture is very standard, have you ever been to a military camp?"

Yang Xue nodded: "When I first joined the administration, I served in the army for two years."

"That's right." General Judson nodded, his face full of approval, "There are not many young people who are willing to suffer."

Before coming here, Yang Xue had read the information about this general. He had no children, and he never chose to retire and go home to enjoy the blessings. Instead, he was in charge of this warship. It is said that he has not returned to land for several years.

It is impossible for him to refute this sentence.

General Judson said: "Dr. Yang Xue, you came to see 'it'."

"Yes." Yang Xue said, "General Judson, when can I see it."

"No hurry." General Judson looked up at the setting sun in the distance, and the soldiers who were loading and unloading supplies back and forth. "After this meal, we can discuss it later."

The ship that Yang Xue was on was actually a supply ship, which carried a large amount of fresh fruits, vegetables and various canned meat products, etc., and delivered supplies to the Ereita warship every half a month. generated household waste.

Every time the supply ship comes, the soldiers on the warship will be very excited, because it means that they can have additional meals in the last two days.

Yang Xue looked at those simple smiling faces and sighed.

3000 is a very specific item that unknowingly creates a cognitohazard.

So the Authority created a custody protocol called Atzak, under which personnel stationed on the Ereita are generally not allowed to leave the ship.

That is to say, the warship Ereita exists to monitor 3000 in name, but in fact it is more like a prison at sea.

These soldiers, including General Judson, are all prisoners, and no one can leave here.

Yang Xue saw that many soldiers had peeled skin on their hands and faces, and even had some swelling. These were symptoms caused by long-term stay at sea.

Before Yang Xue thought that the work in the laboratory was monotonous and tedious enough, but compared with these soldiers who could only see the sea all day long, she didn't know how much happier she was.

Unlike ordinary warships, drinking is allowed on the Ereita, but it must be rationed regularly, and only during the few days when the resupply ship arrives.

After dinner, the soldiers played boxing games on the cleats, while Xue Yang and General Judson watched them from the higher terrace.

After a boxing match, the winner is cheered by his comrades on the shoulders.

The soldier saw Yang Xue standing beside General Judson and whistled at her.

For these soldiers who stay here all year round, General Judson is not only their superior, but more like an elder.

So I respect and love him, but I am not afraid.

"These brats!" General Judson scolded with a smile, "Dr. Yang Xue, don't worry, they are all rotten problems that have been cultivated by no one to discipline them all the year round. I will clean them up tomorrow!"

Yang Xue smiled and shook her head, she could feel that this is the most simple emotion.

Yang Xue and General Judson were blowing the sea breeze together, and they arrived at General Judson's office after eight o'clock.

There was already someone waiting there.

"Dr. Yang Xue, this is my chief of staff, Brockton. For the next thing, you two should discuss it."

General Judson is old. Although he has high prestige, he no longer has the ability and energy to deal with these affairs on the warship. His stay here is more like a symbolic meaning.

And it was the chief of staff who actually dealt with the specific affairs. He was busy with the handover of supplies in the afternoon.

No wonder General Judson asked Yang Xue to finish dinner first.

Brockton is a pragmatic person, he didn't exchange greetings with Yang Xue, and got straight to the point.

"Dr. Yang Xue, I have received an order from the headquarters. Are you here to investigate Ananda Shesha?"

"Yes." Yang Xue nodded, "Recently, there was a large-scale incident of throwing into the sea on the coastline. We suspect it is related to it. I must confirm whether its condition is normal. Is there any way to get close to it?"

"Yes, according to the rules established by the Administration, we have to 'feed' Ananda Shesha every once in a while, and extract Y909. When it is eating, it is when it is weakest. If you want to get close to it, then It's the best opportunity."

These officers and soldiers on the &a have followed 3000 all year round, and they even have a deeper understanding of its habits than some researchers.

Yang Xue asked, "When is the next feeding?"

"In fact, this supply ship is here to deliver 'feed' for it. According to the plan, our feeding time is tomorrow."

No sleep for one night.

Yang Xue didn't fall asleep much, she didn't get seasick on the boat before.

Lying on this stable warship, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Before I knew it, I thought of Zhang Jue. I wondered where he was now and whether he was in danger.

Soon it was morning, and Yang Xue was still in good spirits, and she didn't feel sleepy because she didn't sleep all night, after all, she was still young.

At eight o'clock, Yang Xue finished her breakfast in the cafeteria, and then came to the deck as agreed.

Chief of Staff Brockton and his men were preparing for the feeding.

Because the Administration has a very large demand for amnestics, 3000 will be fed every once in a while, and the Y909 secreted from it will be collected.

And the feed that was fed to 3000 was nothing but a person, to be precise, a D-class personnel.

This time, a prisoner was sent. It is said that he hacked his son-in-law’s family to death in a frenzy, but because his daughter was the only family member of the victim, he got a letter of understanding and received a lighter sentence.

To some extent, it is equivalent to a bug stuck.

So he was not sentenced to death, but it is not known what means the authority used to turn him into a D-level personnel.

He was struggling with a black bag over his head.

"Who are you? You have no right to execute me! I have obtained the understanding of the victim's family!"

His voice was a little noisy.

The soldier next to him was a little impatient and kicked his leg.

He cried out in pain and fell to his knees.

The man in the white coat next to the soldier stabbed a needle in his neck.

His body convulsed for a while, and then he collapsed to the ground.

Then several soldiers put him in a high-pressure diving suit and stuffed him into the air-tight chamber of a remote-controlled unmanned submersible.

In a moment he will be lowered into the water to feed the fish.

Yang Xue has been watching coldly, without the slightest sympathy.

Most of the people who can be selected as D-level personnel by the management bureau are extremely criminals. In Zhang Jue's words, it is not too much to shoot them for 10 minutes.
