monster detection team

Yi Ange didn't know how he got out of that room. He felt his ears buzzing, and he couldn't even hear what the old lady said.

The old woman was a very kind person. Seeing his and Xie Feng's astonished expressions, she thought that they could not accept the fact that the person they were looking for had long since passed away, so she poured water for them and invited them to sit for a while.But Yi Ange couldn't stay in that house any longer, they declined the old lady's kindness and left there as quickly as possible.

Back on the street, everything is safe and sound.Xie Feng leaned on a tree, took deep breaths repeatedly, and asked with his mouth, "30 years?"

Yi Ange shook his head.He felt that his head was in a mess, and he had lost the ability to think long ago.

Xie Feng looked back at the house, and murmured, "Then who threw me out just now?"

There were too many things that could not be explained, and after finally recovering, Yi Ange immediately contacted Jing Rong and reported everything that happened.He spoke quickly, a bit incoherently, Jing Rong was silent for a while after listening, and said to them, "You guys come back first."

Yi Ange opened his mouth, and for a long time, he didn't know what he wanted to say.Xie Feng patted him behind him, sighed and said, "Go back."

They returned to the base, Jing Rong and others were not there.The two sat in the conference room helplessly.

Yi Ange put aside the newspapers he had read before.Now these things are useless, and the cracks are meaningless to them. What they need to consider now is why the person who was yelling one second turned into a dusty 30-year-old photo the next. .

The two accidents happened so fast that they didn't even have a chance to react.In comparison, Yi Ange didn't know which one gave him the more terrifying feeling.

Xie Feng, who was originally very optimistic, also withered, lying on the table, with a bitter face and not speaking.

Yi Ange slapped himself on the face hard.He had considered the possibility of another accident, but never thought that it would happen in this form.Now is not the time to be discouraged. If they don't buy time to investigate, the next accident may happen in the near future.

"If he is the hider..." Xie Feng muffled, "Maybe there will be a record in the base archives."

The file system of this base is very large, and the core is the blue square that Yi Ange used when entering information, and I don't know what technology it was made of.Xie Feng said that all supernatural beings with manifest abilities will be automatically recorded, including the dates of their birth and death, the effects of their abilities, and the jobs they undertake in ordinary society.This is the only link between the monsters scattered among ordinary people. The supernatural beings in the base rarely touch this kind of files, and almost only Jing Rong occasionally goes to have a look.

But now that Jing Rong is not here, they still have the right to look through the archives.Without further ado, the two came to the archives, looking for possible clues.

Identity information is kept in a separate room.Different from other archives, the materials here are all paper, arranged according to the age from far to present.The oldest information can be traced back to a century ago, but most of them were rearranged by later generations, and there are not many really old files.

Xie Feng searched for each shelf one by one, while muttering in his mouth, "30 years, 30 years..."

He stopped in front of a shelf and greeted Yi Ange, "Here!"

There are extraordinarily large amounts of materials on this shelf, two or three times that of other shelves.Xie Feng and Yi Ange looked at each other and smiled helplessly at the same time.

"I'll start looking from the back." Yi Ange said to him, "You start here."

They each took one end, and Yi Ange asked while searching, "If Zhou Mincai's name is a pseudonym, how should we find it?"

"It shouldn't be possible." Xie Feng smacked his lips and said, "Names are very important to us. If he is a Hidden One, at least his parents will instill this concept in him, and he will not change his name easily."

He flipped through an information booklet on the top of his head, and suddenly said, "I know why there are more files here."

According to the archives, the monsters were most active during the period 30 years ago. Many hidden people either actively or passively exposed their identities, and many of them were famous and powerful in the ordinary world.The supernatural beings haven't left the base yet, and they have frequent contacts with the outside world. At least in that era, many ordinary people recognized the existence of monsters.

"But in the next few years, this kind of contact gradually decreased. I don't know what happened." Xie Feng looked at the information in his hand seriously, and said, "I remember this incident. When I was young, I heard the parents discussing it quietly. , I asked at the time, but they refused to tell me in detail. Later, they gradually didn’t care.”

Yi Ange also found a photo album, which contained a thick stack of photos, one of which showed a person flying over a lake, making huge and beautiful splashes.The people in the photos were all smiling, Yi Ange looked at them one by one, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.At least in that era, these people with supernatural powers were happy, and their emotions could even be presented in front of people 30 years later through photos.

Yi Ange doubts whether the current monsters can still be as happy as the predecessors in the photo.They will also have fun for themselves in their spare time, but it is absolutely impossible to fly to any lake to play in the water wantonly.Xie Feng and the others had a strange constraint on themselves, even though they never said it, Yi Ange could feel it.

But that's not what they're focusing on right now.Yi Ange flipped through the photo album, put it aside, and continued to look for the files with names.

After searching for a while, he suddenly felt that his ears were unusually quiet, so he raised his head to look at Xie Feng, and found that he was still staring at the information booklet, with a strange expression on his face.

Yi Ange called him, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah?" Xie Feng raised his head in a daze, looked at him, and suddenly shivered as if returning to his soul, and slammed the information booklet shut, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Yi Ange raised his eyebrows, but didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Feng seemed to be obsessed with the contents of the information booklet, and he looked at the booklet after looking for files for a while.After a long time, Yi Ange didn't care about him, and concentrated on doing his own thing.After searching for about two hours, he suddenly saw a familiar name in a stack of old brown paper bags.

"found it!"

He carefully pulled out the paper bag with the words "Zhou Mincai" written on it, checked for damage, then slowly pulled out the paper inside, and handed the bag to Xie Feng.

The paper is a standard personal information page, on which Zhou Mincai's life is recorded in print.The date of death was a certain day 30 years ago. It seems that the old lady was right, this "Zhou Mincai" did die at the age of 28.

Although this information was confirmed, Yi Ange was not happy at all, but became even more confused.

After the initial panic, there is only one thought left in his head, which is to find an explanation for what he experienced no matter what, and it doesn't even need to be too reasonable. Yi Ange is not demanding, as long as he can As long as he has the idea of ​​"so it is".

Xie Feng took out the paper bag and took out two yellowed photos from it.

The photo was printed on ordinary photo paper, the quality is not very good, the background is blurred, and the face can barely be seen.There are two photos, one is a landscape and the other is a figure. The one with figures has three people, and the one standing on the far left is Zhou Mincai when he was young.

The man in the middle looks to be in his 30s, with a raw face, but he is very handsome. When facing the camera, he smiles with confidence and satisfaction that cannot be ignored.The man on the right is older, with long hair, and looks very chic.

Xie Feng turned the photo over.A small note was pasted on the back with a paragraph written on it.

"Zhou Mincai and the other three were photographed in the headquarters building. The photographer..."

The words behind were a little fuzzy, Xie Feng squinted his eyes and looked closer for a long time, and said uncertainly, "The photographer, Yi... Mingguang?"

Yi Ange just took the photo album and wanted to put it back in place, but when he heard the name, he dropped the photo album on the ground with a bang, and the photos inside were scattered all over the place.

"Who?" He rushed over to snatch the photo, read the words behind it carefully, and said in disbelief, "This is impossible!"

"This person is also surnamed Yi." Xie Feng looked at him cautiously and asked, "Is he your relative?"

Yi Ange opened his eyes wide and carefully read the short words several times before saying, "My grandfather's name is Yi Mingguang."

He sat on the ground slumped, holding the photo in his hand, feeling as if he had been bitten by hundreds of insects, painful and sad.

His parents passed away unexpectedly when he was very young, probably because of the shock. Yi Ange didn't have a deep impression of them. He has been living with his grandfather since he was six years old.His grandfather is a good man, he runs a small detective agency that is not doing well, and sometimes he is a bit distracted, but Yi Ange finds it very interesting.Everything about life, work, and relationships between people was taught by his grandfather.

He always thought that grandpa was just an interesting old man hidden in the world, but he never expected that he would find his name in the files of monsters two years after his death.

Yi Ange felt that he couldn't think anymore.He was able to pull himself together when accidents happened one after another before, because it didn't happen to him after all. As an outsider, he could force himself not to think too much, but now, he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

Xie Feng didn't know how to comfort him, so he thought for a long time before saying, "Maybe it's the same name? Don't think too much about it."

Yi Ange shook his head in pain.It's not that there is no possibility of the same name, but this coincidence is really unconvincing.Besides, so many strange things have already happened, and it seems that one more such thing is not unacceptable.

Xie Feng stood there tangled for a long time, stomped his feet cruelly, took the information book just now, turned to one of the pages and held it in his arms, knelt down and said to him, "I think this is strange, you first Take a deep breath, and I'll show you something."

Yi Ange looked at him puzzled, Xie Feng clicked his tongue lightly, and said, "I didn't want to tell you, but this matter... I'm not sure now. It's up to you to choose whether to watch it or not. .”

He spoke resolutely, as if he really cared about Yi Ange's thoughts.Yi Ange looked at him, then at the open information booklet in his arms, took a deep breath, nodded, "I'll see."

Xie Feng pursed his mouth tightly, as if he was following himself in a psychological struggle, then slowly turned over the information booklet and placed it in front of Yi Ange.

It was a very new photo, as if it had been reprocessed recently. The scenery inside was very similar to the one in Yi An Singer, but the shooting angle was slightly different.From the picture in Xie Feng's hand, you can see the backs of three people standing side by side. This should be a photo taken from behind Zhou Mincai's three people.

The location of the photo is on the top of the building. There is a camera tripod in front of the three people. The person who took the photo is bent over, so the face is not captured.On the side is a small attic with windows. Xie Feng pointed to the window of the attic and said, "Look here."

Because it is a new photo, even the reflections on the windows are clearly printed.Yi Ange looked carefully and found that there seemed to be a human face reflected on the window.

Because of the lighting problem, the face was not very clear.Yi Ange could only make out vague outlines.

It was a face that looked exactly like him, looking at several people outside from the blind corner of the window.

Xie Feng was afraid that he would be under too much psychological pressure, so he enlightened, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, do you and your grandpa look alike? Maybe your grandpa is watching..."

Yi Ange raised his hand to interrupt him, stared at that face for a long time, then stood up suddenly, waved the photo in his hand, smiled weakly, and said, "I seem to know what's going on."
