It coincides with the rainy season, and it has been rainy in Zhongchang City recently.Tight drops of water adhered to the walls of the car, and moisture enveloped the confined space.The inside of the car is like a steamer, distilling the thick and unbearable atmosphere of the world to every corner.

Mo Xi was sitting in the back seat. His skin was morbidly fair, his facial features were small and delicate, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes.At this time, the screen of his mobile phone was frozen on a piece of social news.

That report published the bombing that occurred on April 4, and published several photos of the scene, coded suspects and victims.Relying on his vague impression and the outlines of the people in the photo, Mo Xi barely recognized one of them as Xie Yu'an.

His eyes enlarged slightly, his heart stopped suddenly, and the hand holding the phone trembled inadvertently.

The first time I heard the name Xie Yu'an was from a man three years ago.His first impression of that man was as dazzling as a star.He has black hair down his waist, a tear mole under his left eye, and calls himself Zhou Liang.

Mo Xi left an impression on this face.This guy has become very famous recently. He had a car accident at the end of the year. He rolled down the cliff with his car, but he survived miraculously within a few days.The media rushed to report on this bizarre accident, coupled with the stunning appearance of the victim, it soon became the hot search list on major social platforms, and he, who was originally an Internet celebrity, became even more popular.

Zhou Liang stopped him rudely outside the institute and asked him anxiously for help.At that time, Mo Xi was just a crazy person talking nonsense.After all, Zhou Liang claimed that he was from 2020, and also said that he asked him for help.

"But I don't know you at all!" Mo Xi felt helpless.

But this man is still pestering him endlessly.So he thought of a way: ask him what big event will happen from 2017 to 2020 (of course he wants to ask more about whether the group of Mark Six lottery will win in the future).This weird man really couldn't answer.

So, he had no choice but to politely smile at the weird man, expressing his rejection euphemistically.

But Zhou Liang's last sentence sent a chill down his spine.

He said: "It is very likely that I will not survive December 2017, 12, and I will die in an abandoned unfinished building at No. 1, Louxi Road, Yuancheng District, Zhongchang City."

How can anyone predict his own death?Mo Xi turned around right then and advised him to calm down and not do anything stupid.

"I am not terminally ill, nor am I committing suicide, but someone will kill me at that time."

"Then you should call the police." He took out his phone to help.

"It's useless," Zhou Liang shook his head, "It still doesn't work, I still can't change anything."

His voice was a little hoarse, and he looked very tired.

"You don't have to believe me this time. But after hearing the news of my death, please take action immediately. If you remain indifferent, seven people may die on April 2020, 4. They are Xie Yuan, Yu Shuang, and Moli , Yu Gu, Hao Yun, Xiao Shi, [--]. So, please."

He was like a drowning man trying to grab at straws, only to grab the blade instead.After telling all this, he left, his back was elongated by the setting sun, and his whole body was stained with hesitation like blood.

After that, Mo Xi couldn't see him again.Because in a few days it was December 2017, 12, and a homicide was published in the news.The man named Zhou Liang was indeed killed on this day.The place of death happened to be in an abandoned unfinished building at No. 1, Louxi Road, Yuancheng District, Zhongchang City.Exactly the same as Zhou Liang predicted.

After Mo Xi saw this news, it was as if he had been drenched from head to toe by ice water.How could there be such a bizarre event?He scratched his arm frantically, fear, annoyance, and guilt all came together, filling his brain.

A few days later, he used his connections to inquire about the details of the case, and learned from acquaintances that the city investigation team was at a loss for what to do about the murder.

The traces of the crime scene were almost cleaned up, and the technique was extremely professional, without leaving any clues; the unfinished building was located in an inaccessible suburb, and the surrounding infrastructure was not perfect, and the SkyEye monitoring system was not covered; the police|the police searched for the deceased There was no breakthrough in the circle of interpersonal communication during his lifetime, basically ruling out the possibility of acquaintances committing crimes.

In the end, it can only be defined as a murder case of passion, and the murderer and the deceased had no intersection before.But it is this kind of murder that is the most difficult to detect.

Only then did he remember the second death notice issued by the man: on April 2020, 4, seven more people will die.

Mo Xi has a good memory, and he can still remember the names of the seven people that Zhou Liang said.He wrote down the names of the seven people and secretly commissioned private detectives to investigate.

But this kind of behavior is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. After all, there are so many people with the same name and surname.The private detective searched carefully many times, but failed to find out the people corresponding to these seven names. After all, these seven names did not have any overlapping social circles.There is only one person, who can be regarded as having a relationship with Zhou Liang.

He is Zhou Liang's boyfriend, his name is Xie Yu'an.After investigating his social relations, it was discovered that he turned out to be the captain of the city investigation team.Mo Xidan glanced at the resume, and felt this person's "toughness" from the lines.

He arranged for someone to observe him silently for a while, but this guy's vigilance and anti-reconnaissance ability are extremely high, the people he sent were almost beaten into cripples, and they were once suspected of being Zhou Liang's murderer, causing a big fuss dragon.

He was thinking about confessing everything to Xie Yu'an, but he also sincerely hesitated in the face of this.If the expression is not clear and people misunderstand him as the murderer who killed Zhou Liang, that would be bad.

Later, he cooperated with the investigation team due to work reasons, and happened to come into contact with Xie Yu'an.It was discovered that after Zhou Liang's death, he had been sluggish for a while, but his usual speech and behavior did not affect his life and work.

Perhaps Zhou Liang's death was just an accidental coincidence.He raised such a fluke mentality.After all, someone as powerful as Xie Yu'an would not be defeated no matter what.

Time can numb any violent emotion.Although he was tortured by the shadow of Zhou Liang's death, after many days of investigation to no avail, he gradually became tired and thought of escaping.Until that death notice time, April 2020, 4 comes.

Xie Yu'an died in the explosion accident, and the name of the suspect who died at the same time was among the seven people.

Mo Xi felt that his whole body was about to be torn apart. What did he do?Just because he chose not to trust and escape, eight lives that could have been saved just disappeared.

The strong sense of self-blame and guilt surged like a tide, completely submerging him.He had to act, even if it was too late.

As the vehicle stopped, Mo Xi walked into the headquarters of the investigation team with anxiety.He assisted them in developing a sky eye system a few years ago.

At that time, we were facing large-scale celebrations, and the maintenance of stability and anti-terrorism was imminent. That technology focused on monitoring public speeches and screening suspicious persons from them, thereby reducing the workload of the police.Of course, this technology will not inform the public, so as not to arouse public opinion and cause social unrest.

At that time, he had worked closely with the investigation team, and this time he received an invitation from the new captain, Shen Luo, to provide technical support.Mo Xi thought of the bombing on April 4, and agreed without thinking about it.So he came to this familiar place again.

When they came to the meeting room, the first person they saw familiarly was Captain Shen Luo.This handsome and tall man has always exuded a cold and hard aura, but today his face is sluggish, and the corners of his eyes are red.

No wonder, after all, Xie Yu'an is his best brother.They are roommates in college, and Xie Yu'an took care of Shen Luo a lot in the past, so they can be regarded as close buddies.

He greeted awkwardly.Shen Luo quickly wiped her face, and reluctantly nodded to him.Shen Luo first brought him a confidentiality agreement to sign, and then briefly introduced the case to him.

After listening to the case introduction carefully, he felt creepy.

On the day of the bombing, five people gathered in the abandoned building at No. 45, Louxi Road, Yuancheng District, Zhongchang City.They entered a room alone and chose to commit suicide by cutting their wrists.

After investigating the social background, it was discovered that the social circles of the five of them did not overlap at all.But they have a common feature, that is, they have all suffered great blows in life, and their desire to survive is almost zero.As long as someone kicks them at this time, these people may jump into the abyss.

While listening to Shen Luo explaining the case to him, Mo Xi couldn't help shaking.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luo noticed his abnormality and stopped to ask.

"This... why did this happen?"

Shen Luo pursed her lips tightly, and took a while to speak: "I don't know, it might be an online suicide club, or it might be bewitched by a cult."

"Could it be coerced?"

"It's not impossible, but the possibility is very low." Shen Luo pondered, "Besides, there is another strange thing. They are not completely dead."

"What do you mean?"

Shen Luo gestured to the two policemen beside him, and they quickly left the room.Shen Luo turned on the touch all-in-one machine in front of him.

"Please be mentally prepared for what you see later." He turned his head and instructed.

But it was too late, when those exciting images entered Mo Xi's retina, he still couldn't help himself to scream.

In a white medical room, seven people were placed in a circle, two of whom were beyond recognition.Several data cables are connected to their heads, which are connected in series to a server-like machine in the middle.

"Do you remember the last time we worked with us, the suicide bomber didn't even have breath left, how did you read his brain?"

Of course he was impressed.The suspect's heart stopped, he was not breathing and his blood pressure was zero.According to the traditional concept, it already belongs to death.But Mo Xi found that his brainstem central system was still functioning, and he was not brain dead[1].

At that time, counter-terrorism work was imminent.Although somewhat anti-humanitarian, he followed orders and designed an electronic system.The suspect's consciousness was input into the computer, and a virtual scene was simulated for interrogation.

"This time is similar to last time. Their brains still have consciousness, although it is very weak, maybe they can use this method to find out the truth of the case."

Shen Luo's voice changed from far to near, explaining to him like this.

"That's why we thought of you, Dr. Moxi. Can you try to enter their thinking world from your professional perspective?"

(The definition of brain death comes from Baidu)
