[Full-time master] mottled

Zhou Zekai is not a fool.

Even though the power of "backtracking" took away part of his memory, he could still guess what happened at that time based on the scene: Shao Peng'an, who was full of scars but extremely excited, the purple choke marks on Jiang Botao's neck, The blood between his fingers and those scattered...

With just a little guesswork, Zhou Zekai felt chills all over his body.

——Not only because he almost killed Jiang Botao, but also because of those drugs!

Zhou Zekai didn't want to ruin his own life, nor did he want to ruin Jiang Botao. The future between him and Jiang Botao was still very long, and there were still many things to do. We haven't been saved yet, how can drugs ruin it all?

What's more, what's more...

Recalling the past, Zhou Zekai sat outside the operating room, holding his head in pain. He might not be able to get rid of the nightmare of almost killing his partner after taking drugs by mistake for a long time.Zhou Zekai clearly remembered Jiang Botao's appearance when he fell down. His face was sickly pale, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked at him tenderly. As usual, the next second was blood rushing to his face. With the cold body falling in his arms.

Jiang Botao's blood was so hot that it almost burned his eyes.

When Ma Jianlin led the team to the scene, Zhou Zekai sat motionless in the ruins with Jiang Botao in his arms, numb and dazed, like a stone carving, no matter how others shouted, he didn't respond.It wasn't until Ma Jianlin worried about delaying the best rescue time and forcibly snatched the person from his arms that Zhou Zekai woke up like a dream and stumbled into the ambulance with the stretcher.

Sitting outside the operating room, Zhou Zekai fell into hatred and self-blame for his own negligence. He should be more careful: if he could be more careful, he would not be taken advantage of by Shao Pengan to try to escape, nor would he be attacked by him And taking drugs by mistake, let alone do things that hurt Jiang Botao after falling into the hallucinations brought about by drugs, so Jiang Botao will not use the power of "backtracking" for him.

That is a magical power that can reset the timeline.

With "backtracking", Jiang Botao can return the condition of an object or a person to a certain point in time, thereby changing or even avoiding the occurrence of certain things.The objects affected by "backtracking" will return to the state at the time point specified by Jiang Botao, and the people affected by "backtracking" will not only reset their own state, but also lose the state from the time point specified by Jiang Botao to the "backtracking" state. All the memories at the time of activation, start again.

It's like watching a video, Jiang Botao used "backtracking" to pull the progress bar back a little, and when he played it again, the subsequent content would most likely no longer be what was played before.

It is no exaggeration to say that under the influence of the mysterious and treacherous "law of cause and effect", "backtracking" is a force powerful enough to change the world.

This power is not free, however.

Jiang Botao once used "backtracking" in a hostage rescue, and the solid password door was "backtracked" to the open state when the criminals left an hour ago.The hostages were successfully rescued, but Jiang Botao's nosebleeds raged for at least half an hour and finally stopped, and then he went to the hospital to hang two bags of blood before he recovered.

It can be said that the price Jiang Botao paid for using "backtracking" will never be less than what Zhou Zekai paid for using "sanction".

What's more, he forcibly used his ability under the condition of extremely exhausted mental power, and "backtracked" Zhou Zekai's timeline to the time before he was attacked by Shao Peng'an and took drugs by mistake-this time Jiang Botao used the "backtracking" scene. It was exactly the same as the last time Zhou Zekai forcibly used "sanction" when he inhaled an excessive amount of inhibitor for a long time and his mental power was overly suppressed.

With a physique as strong as Zhou Zekai, he was unconscious in the MICU for four or five days after the incident last time. As a guide, Jiang Botao's condition will only get worse, and he may even really not be able to come back...

Zhou Zekai, who couldn't control himself from thinking about it, was deeply aware that his current emotional state was very unstable. He urgently needed Jiang Botao's comfort or a general-purpose guide element sedative mixture to prevent himself from falling into sensory overload.But now the glaring "Operation" sign is still on, and the general-purpose wizard sedative mixture in their hands has long been out of stock, Zhou Zekai really doesn't know what to do.

He could only sit on the bench outside the operating room, taking deep breaths in vain while holding his head tightly, trying to use the pain to force himself not to go crazy.In the end, it was Ma Jianlin who noticed something was wrong with Zhou Zekai. As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the police headquarters, he half threatened and half begged the little nurse to take Zhou Zekai to give him an injection of diazepam.

Zhou Zekai, who had been injected with Valium, calmed down a lot. He sat on the bench, staring at his hands in a daze without saying a word.His fingers were pitch black, and his fingertips were also covered with some black fine powder, which was Jiang Botao's blood.Zhou Zekai didn't know how much effort he tried to strangle his guide, who was in a hallucination, so much so that his nails pierced Jiang Botao's skin, allowing the dark red blood to seep into his fingers and condense inside. Into a piece of night.

"Brother Zhou." Someone patted him on the shoulder, Zhou Zekai looked up, and it was Shi Wengao who looked worried: "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Zhou Zekai shook his head, then looked down at his fingers.

Although he received a cold reception, Shi Wengao, who knew Zhou Zekai's nature, was not angry, but handed over a report.Zhou Zekai glanced at the paper. It was the report of the drug blood test he had done at Ma Jianlin's strong request earlier, and the test result was negative.

Zhou Zekai was not surprised by this result, he believed in Jiang Botao and everything he had done so desperately, so he did not go to accept the report from Shi Wengao.Shi Wengao inevitably felt a little embarrassed, so he put down the report resentfully, and sat next to Zhou Zekai.

The red light at the door of the operating room was still on. From time to time, medical staff came in and out with various instruments. Ma Jianlin didn’t know where to hide and smoked. The police officers he brought walked back and forth anxiously in the corridor, looking up after a while. Look at the light board, and then look at the phone after a while.

"My father," Zhou Zekai, who was still staring at his hands in a daze, suddenly said, "is an anti-narcotics policeman."

Shi Wengao beside him froze for a moment.

Zhou Zekai ignored him, but continued on his own: "He died when I was nine years old."

"Before that day, I always thought I didn't have a father, I was a wild child. Then I realized that my father is a hero."

"He worked as an undercover agent for seven years, and he dared not go home, nor could he go home."

"Suddenly one day, he disappeared."

"No one could contact him. It wasn't until a year later that the operation was closed and the big drug lord was arrested and brought to justice. The police department didn't know that he had already died in the line of duty."

"There is no corpse, no ashes, not even his real name is engraved on the tomb."

"The names of me and my mother on the tombstone are also fake."

"My mother is a music teacher. She is very gentle and fragile. She took me and lived alone for nine years, but she couldn't bear the blow of my father's death."

"She abandoned me and went after Dad." Zhou Zekai exhaled tremblingly, suppressing his grief and pain, and slowly told the past: "When she jumped from the roof, I was downstairs. "

"She is so beautiful, as beautiful as a blooming flower."

"That flower awakened my strength."

"But I have no way to protect them."

"I hate those things, and I hate those people. They broke my family."

"So I can't forgive myself." Zhou Zekai smiled wryly, "Oh, I almost killed him because of this kind of thing that I hate so much."

"...Brother Zhou, it's really not your fault." Shi Wengao muttered, he felt that he should say something more, but in the end he could only choke out such a comforting sentence: "Brother Jiang will It's fine."

Zhou Zekai still just shook his head, he sat bowed, buried his face in his palms, panting in pain.

It was the first time for Shi Wengao to see Zhou Zekai like this. After all, he has always seldom talk, he doesn't like excitement, and he doesn't get close to the crowd. Even if he would joke around in front of their acquaintances, he seldom reveals his true feelings.This kind of personality is introverted at best, and withdrawn at worst.Zhou Zekai is a powerful sentinel, resolute and powerful, vigorous and resolute, and fragility seems to have nothing to do with him, and he feels as "ruthless and ungrateful" as his nickname.

So much so that Shi Wengao always felt that only when he was beside Jiang Botao was he more like a living person, rather than a violent machine.

But now Zhou Zekai was sitting beside him, mourning silently. He had already lost his parents because of drugs, and he almost strangled his lover to death because of drugs.If it were an ordinary person, they might break down and cry, or complain about others, or make a vow to take revenge, and they must choose a way to vent all their inner emotions, so as not to drive themselves crazy.

But Zhou Zekai, who had no way out, had to restrain the boundless hatred and pain in his heart, he had to keep calm, and not let the overload of perception destroy him.

Shi Wengao opened his mouth, and was about to say something more to comfort Zhou Zekai, when Ma Jianlin, who had been hiding in the safe passage and smoking, came over suddenly: "The latest news!"

Zhou Zekai wiped his eyes calmly, the blood powder from his fingertips melted into the water, drawing a light red line at the corner of his eyes.When he raised his head again, his face was as usual: "What's wrong?"

Ma Jianlin looked around, and said in a low voice, "The investigators collected the biological samples of ghost babies in the forensic mortuary, and put the extracted DNA information into the library for comparison, and the result was right in no time."

"Win the competition?" Zhou Zekai frowned.

"What ghost baby? Master, what are you talking about?" Shi Wengao didn't know that the ghost baby brought Yan Shaoli out of the forensic mortuary, so he was confused at the moment.

"We won the competition." Ma Jianlin ignored Shi Wengao, he nodded at Zhou Zekai with a serious face: "I have a direct relationship with Meng Ping."

"Meng Ping? The Meng Ping who was going to blow up the bridge half a month ago?" Shi Wengao opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Zhou Zekai who was beside him was also extremely shocked.

"Yes, that's Meng Ping. The ghost baby is Meng Ping's son." Ma Jianlin's cell phone rang twice, and while taking out the phone to check the news, he continued: "When Meng Ping's wife was found, she had already been divided into two. We didn’t find the baby at the body dumping site. Tang Jianbo, or someone else must have killed her and then dug out the baby in her womb to make a ghost baby—fuck?!”

Ma Jianlin was watching the news, when he suddenly cursed, Zhou Zekai thought that something happened again, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The investigator who went to the bank to investigate the account holder with the black card in Yan Shaoli's hand came back with feedback. The account holder's name is Qiu Lan, who is Yan Shaoli's distant cousin." Ma Jianlin paused, "also Tang Jianbo's wife."

"Tang Jianbo? Why is this case related to him???" Shi Wengao couldn't help crying.

Zhou Zekai closed his eyes wearily.

Wang Jiexi pointed them out that as long as they deal with Shao Peng'an's matter to the end, they can learn the truth about the disappearance of the East Tower, but after all the management, they returned to the Tang family's case.

Gui Ying, Yan Shaoli, Shao Peng'an, Meng Ping, Qiu Lan, Tang Jianbo, Tang Junhao...the relationship between these people is intricate, and everything revolves around these few people, around the Tang family, around the disappearance of nearly two people. Tang Jianbo for one month.

After they managed to clear away a layer of fog, what they saw in front of them was an even more confused mess.

Zhou Zekai was in a mess, he stood up abruptly, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

"Where are you going?" Ma Jianlin asked him.

"I'll go for a walk in the yard." Zhou Zekai said without stopping.

"Xiao Jiang, what should I do?"

"..." Zhou Zekai paused, but did not stop, "It's okay, I'll find out."

Zhou Zekai sat in the courtyard blowing the cold wind.

At that time, it was past four o'clock in the morning, and this famous city that never sleeps had already fallen into a deep sleep. The sky was pitch black due to stacked dark clouds, and not a single star's light could penetrate the suffocating darkness.

The entire inpatient department has been submerged in the night, and the usually bustling outpatient department building has almost turned into a black silhouette. If it weren't for the emergency department with a few lights on, it would have completely melted into the dark night.It was very cold and dark in the courtyard, only a few dim floor lamps were trying to drive away the darkness in vain.

Too many thrilling things happened that night, Zhou Zekai didn't think about any of them, he just sat there, concentrating on a certain point on the ground in a daze.Zhou Zekai knew in his heart that being entangled in what had happened, indulging in grief and self-blame was completely meaningless to the current situation. What he could do—and what he had to do—was to bear the mistakes and regrets he had committed. Regret and move on.

Although the clues they have learned are intertwined and entangled, as long as they calm down and sort out and solve one by one, they will always get a glimpse of the answer.

Haste makes waste, and how to maintain patience is also a compulsory lesson for sentinels.

The most important thing right now is that Jiang Botao is still being rescued. Even if he comes out of the operating room safely, it will take at least a few days for his body to fully recover.During the period when his partner was absent, Zhou Zekai needed one or more guides to ensure his mental state was stable and he would not experience sensory overload.

Fortunately, Jiang Botao took precautions and prepared a pack of cigarettes containing 80% guideline for Zhou Zekai in case of emergency.Zhou Zekai always carried it with him on weekdays, but last time the two of them were suddenly taken to quarantine for interrogation as soon as they came back from W City, and the pack of cigarettes was kept in the physical evidence room of the police headquarters. Zhou Zekai forgot to ask Ma Jianlin to ask for it.

In addition, Zhou Zekai felt that he should go to the East Tower again. No matter how unkind the special investigation team was, he probably wouldn't allow an excellent sentinel to fall into sensory overload because he didn't have the comfort of the guide element.

——At worst, even if he went to steal it, he would have to get back a general-purpose wizard sedative mixture.

Just as Zhou Zekai was thinking this way, his keen sense of hearing suddenly caught a trace of disharmony in the quiet night, and then he touched the handle of the knife on his waist reflexively.

"Who?" He turned sharply to the bush where the sound came from, his eyes were piercing, ready to go.The soft sound was very close to him, only four or five meters away, it was the small sound of someone approaching secretly, but accidentally stepped on a dead leaf.

"Come out!" Zhou Zekai snorted.

The leaves trembled a few times, and a slender figure stood up from behind the bushes: "Xiao Zhou, Brother Zhou."

"Chen Zilu?" Zhou Zekai was taken aback when he heard the somewhat familiar female voice, and let go of the hand that was still holding the handle of the knife in astonishment.

"Damn it, didn't you tell me to call someone Lulu?" Chen Zilu said coquettishly, and took two steps forward. By the light of the floor lamp, Zhou Zekai saw this person who was hiding behind the bushes and approaching him secretly. It was Chen Zilu.

Zhou Zekai hadn't seen Chen Zilu since he was discharged from the hospital after the physical examination, and he had almost forgotten about her, so he was really surprised to meet her suddenly in the middle of the night.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Zekai looked warily at Chen Zilu who was walking towards him, and subconsciously moved to the side of the bench.Chen Zilu would be wrong, thinking that Zhou Zekai was inviting her to sit down, and Chen Zilu, who was influenced by the "tear" and had a good impression of Zhou Zekai, sat down overjoyed: "I just saw someone like you in the hall, I thought I was wrong, but when I followed it, it was really you."

As soon as she sat down, Zhou Zekai jumped up as if she had been electrocuted.

——He still remembered the fact that he almost lost control of his emotions due to the "tear" on Chen Zilu's body, not to mention that Jiang Botao was still in the operating room at the moment, and he couldn't calm him down.

Zhou Zekai had no way out for the time being, and he couldn't show his hand to the powerless Chen Zi, so he could only passively choose to stay away from her.

But Chen Zilu was not very happy, she said a little wronged: "Brother Zhou, are you still angry with Lulu?"

Zhou Zekai dodged Chen Zilu's hand that was about to grab the hem of his clothes, looked at her guardedly, and didn't answer.

"Brother Zhou, let's make up, don't quarrel, okay?" Chen Zilu drooped her eyebrows, looking like she was about to cry, "Lulu is really sad without you..."

"What?" Zhou Zekai frowned, he had no idea what nonsense Chen Zilu was talking about.

"I said, are we getting along well? Don't quarrel or break up. Lulu must be obedient. If you postpone the marriage, postpone it. As long as you stay by Lulu's side, Lulu doesn't care about anything." Chen Zilu said more and more Anxious, with a vague pear blossom and rain on her face, anyone who saw her would think that she was just an infatuated girl who wanted to get her boyfriend back.

Only Zhou Zekai knew that Chen Zilu's feelings for him were fake, they were paranoia and imagination formed under the influence of "tearing".

He originally thought that after he was discharged from the hospital, the monitors would also withdraw from the hospital, and the "tear" on Chen Zilu's body should gradually disappear.However, it now appears that the "tear" has not disappeared, but has intensified, and even evolved into a "split".

In Chen Zilu's subsequent ramblings, Zhou Zekai discovered that the "Chen Zilu" in front of him seemed to be another personality "split" by Chen Zilu under the influence of "tearing"!

This self-proclaimed "Lulu" Chen Zilu and "Little Brother Zhou" have been a "fairy couple" admired by everyone since college.This year is already the sixth year that the two have "loved each other". They were already discussing about getting married, but because her grandmother fell ill, the wedding was forced to be postponed.The two had a big fight because of this, and "Little Brother Zhou" never came to the hospital again in a fit of anger, leaving her alone secretly sad...

"...but Lulu knows that Brother Xiao Zhou still doesn't want to part with Lulu, that's why he secretly came to the hospital to see Lulu in the middle of the night, right?" Chen Zilu said, carefully trying to grab the corner of Zhou Zekai's clothes.Zhou Zekai took half a step back, and dodged again calmly.

Zhou Zekai, who had heard about his "love history" with Chen Zilu, regretted it very much now: If he had known, he should have figured out a way with Jiang Botao to completely eliminate the influence of "tearing" on Chen Zilu.Nor would she have evolved into this because of it.

——Ma Jianlin is right, the more you take things for granted, the easier it is to make mistakes.

It's just that it's really useless to regret now, the most urgent thing is to let Chen Zilu receive treatment.Just as Zhou Zekai was thinking this, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang twice, it was a text message from Ma Jianlin.

Safe.

There were only two thin words in the text message, but it was these two words that gave Zhou Zekai great comfort and encouragement.Zhou Zekai, who was calm on the surface but suffering from pain in his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had to go back to see Jiang Botao.

But "Lulu" kept pestering him, and he had to find a way to get rid of her first.So, Zhou Zekai asked tentatively, "Lulu, do you know Tang Junhao?"

"Who is that? Brother Xiao Zhou's friend?" Chen Zilu tilted her head to look at him, her expression was normal, and her eyes didn't wander away, which proved that she wasn't lying.

"I really don't know you?" Zhou Zekai asked again, making sure that the "Chen Zilu" in front of him didn't know Tang Junhao.

"I really don't know him." Chen Zilu said, "Who the hell is he?"

"He is your boyfriend." Zhou Zekai said.

Chen Zilu froze for a moment, then laughed softly: "Brother Zhou, stop making fun of Lulu, my boyfriend is obviously you."

"Then what's my name?" Zhou Zekai asked suddenly.

"Your name is Zhou, Zhou, Zhou..." Chen Zilu suddenly froze as she spoke—the original Chen Zilu didn't know Zhou Zekai's full name from the beginning to the end, let alone the split "Lulu".

"Look, how can there be a girlfriend who doesn't know the name of her boyfriend?" Zhou Zekai said, "I'm not your boyfriend at all."

"No, it's impossible..." At a loss, Chen Zilu began to bite her nails, and kept muttering to herself.

"Xiao Lu, you're sick, I'll call a doctor for you." Zhou Zekai took another step back while observing Chen Zilu.

Chen Zilu, who was caught in self-tangle, didn't notice his movements, just when Zhou Zekai was about to leave here, and went to find a psychiatrist to help her, Chen Zilu suddenly pounced on him.She hugged Zhou Zekai tightly from behind, just like when she made her inexplicable confession that night, the blushing Chen Zilu said loudly: "I don't care! You are my boyfriend!"

"...Chen Zilu! Let go!" Zhou Zekai snapped Chen Zilu's hand while sternly yelling.Zhou Zekai could feel that he had a vague problem with emotional control, he couldn't let Chen Zilu influence him anymore.

"I won't let you go!" Chen Zilu retorted loudly behind him, and there was a hint of crying in her words.

Zhou Zekai kept forcing himself to calm down, trembling, he took a deep breath, and then said again: "Let go."

This time he spoke very slowly and lightly, and there was an indisputable toughness and indifference in his short words.Chen Zilu shivered unconsciously, and quickly let go of Zhou Zekai.

"Now, go back to sleep, and go to the doctor by yourself after waking up." Zhou Zekai continued to use the power of words, but this time, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been punched hard by someone. painfully.Chen Zilu, who was influenced by Yan Ling, passed by him and went to the inpatient department, no longer noisy or entangled, the whole person was quiet as if she was just sleepwalking.On the other hand, Zhou Zekai couldn't help but gripped his clothes tightly because of the pain, and even squatted down halfway. It took several minutes to suppress the severe discomfort.

Standing up again, Zhou Zekai seemed to have experienced a nightmare. His entire back was drenched with sweat, and the night wind blew it, making him bone-chillingly cold.Unaware of it, Zhou Zekai just took a few more deep breaths, and then walked slowly towards the outpatient building.

Zhou Zekai failed to see Jiang Botao.

When he returned to the door of the operating room, Jiang Botao had already been pushed to the MICU, only Ma Jianlin and a few police officers were still there as if they were in a meeting.Zhou Zekai stood by and listened for a while in silence, which made Ma Jianlin startled when he turned around after arranging the police officers to guard Shao Pengan around the clock.

"You boy!" Ma Jianlin protected his heart with one hand, and pointed at Zhou Zekai with the other, "Why are you walking without making any movement? You have a heart attack."

Zhou Zekai curled his lips and just asked Jiang Botao, "How is he?"

"Several skin injuries, hyoid bone fracture, and other organ function damage? Oh, the name is too long to remember. You can ask Director Zheng yourself later."

"Not Doctor Fang?" Zhou Zekai asked.

"Doctor Fang takes turns off, maybe he only goes to work during the day." Ma Jianlin replied.

"Where's Shao Peng'an?" Zhou Zekai asked again.

"Multiple fractures, soft tissue contusions, tendon strains, excessive blood loss, and mild poisoning caused by excessive drug use are now in the surgical ward. Wen Gao and Xiao Liu are watching." Ma Jianlin, who hadn't slept all night, pulled out a Yan wanted to refresh himself, but just as he took out the lighter and remembered that it was in the hospital, he could only put it back angrily.

"...Captain Ma." Zhou Zekai hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have two things that I would like to trouble you with."

"Tell me." Ma Jianlin pinched the bridge of his nose wearily. After listening to what Zhou Zekai said, he pondered for a while and said, "The first thing to do is easy. The cigarette case is in the physical evidence room. When the shift changes later I asked Kaizi to bring it over. As for the second item..."

Ma Jianlin paused for a moment, then sighed: "I have to go to the Gold Bureau for this matter, and I will try my best to help you."

"Thank you." Zhou Zekai said, making gestures to bow to Ma Jianlin, but was stopped by him: "Come on, you two won't cause me trouble, I will be thankful."

Zhou Zekai smiled shyly, then suppressed his smile and said, "Jiang's side, Captain Ma, please take care of me first."

"Are you going out?" Ma Jianlin frowned.

"I have something else to do." Zhou Zekai said.

When he returned to the downstairs of the Dijing Building, Zhou Zekai felt as if he had passed away.

Too many things happened in the past two months. He and Jiang Botao ran around outside, but they didn't return to the East Tower to take a look.One is because of the presence of the special investigation team, and the other is because I am afraid of seeing things and thinking about others and I can't help being sad.

It's just that now Zhou Zekai has to come here for the general-purpose guide element sedative mixture.In fact, if possible, Zhou Zekai would like to stay in the East Pagoda as long as possible, trying to discover more clues that were not recorded in the surveillance video.

In order to avoid the white-collars commuting to and from get off work, Zhou Zekai stayed in the coffee shop downstairs until after ten o'clock in the morning before entering the Dijing Building. At this point, the employees of various companies had already started work, and no one would go out.

It's just that despite all calculations, Zhou Zekai still met an acquaintance in the elevator.

To say they are acquaintances is just familiarity.

When the elevator door opened, the woman was holding a makeup mirror to touch up her makeup. When she saw Zhou Zekai, she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Yo? Long time no see?"

Zhou Zekai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Hello."

This was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, Zhou Zekai remembered that her surname was Cai, and she worked in a certain trading company on the East Tower.Because we always meet each other in the elevator, and she is a little familiar, she can still have an awkward chat with Zhou Zekai after coming and going.

"After you moved away, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you come here suddenly today?" The woman surnamed Cai looked around in the mirror while talking, and put some lipstick on the corner of her mouth.

"Come and get something." Zhou Zekai said.

"Can't you?" The woman glanced at Zhou Zekai, "Hasn't your company been completely cleared? All the tables and benches have been moved away. What happened?"

"A USB flash drive, I missed it." Although he lied, Zhou Zekai felt strange in his heart: Didn't the special investigation team go to the scene to investigate?How could Dongtali clear the field?

The elevator quickly went up to the 27th floor where the East Tower was located. Zhou Zekai said goodbye to the woman surnamed Cai, and walked through the elevator to the East Tower they had been fighting for for several years.

There is still a disguised nameplate hanging on the front desk, bypassing the front desk is the familiar office.In the past days, when there was no business to do, it was always full of gags. Once there was work, the whistlers were all serious as if they owed each other a huge sum of money.

Zhou Zekai walked to the glass door and found that the door was unlocked. He easily opened the door and stood in the east tower again.The east tower was indeed cleared out. Looking around, there was nothing in the huge flat space, only one or two scraps of paper were discarded in the corner.

Feeling rather strange, Zhou Zekai then checked several small offices, which were also empty.He suddenly had a terrible conjecture: Except for the sentry in the east tower, the members of the special investigation team who came to investigate the disappearance seemed to have disappeared as well.

Realizing this, Zhou Zekai couldn't help but his heart sank, and he couldn't help speeding up his inspection.

After flipping through it this time, Zhou Zekai didn't find anything: he found two words hastily written with a water pen next to a switch in a certain office.

Help.

Looking at these two words, Zhou Zekai felt his blood surge and his hands and feet were cold.His mood was fluctuating violently, and Zhou Zekai had no way to get rid of this strong sense of insecurity by himself - Jiang Botao was not around, and he didn't have a guide at hand to calm himself down.

Everything seems to be going in the worst direction.

However, God often likes to put another feather on it when things are as bad as they can be.

——Zhou Zekai, who was caught in emotional fluctuations, was completely unaware that he was surrounded by an invisible darkness.

In fact, Zhou Zekai had already noticed it the moment the thing dripped onto the back of his neck.

Out of the fighting awareness necessary for a sentinel, he suppressed those chaotic mood swings almost instantly, and adjusted himself to a state of preparation for battle.

Zhou Zekai stood tense in this empty small office, and a pair of tricks swept around with murderous intent.It's just that no matter how he looks at it, the surrounding environment is the same as when he came in, nothing more, nothing less.

——Even if he used his abilities, Zhou Zekai couldn't "see" anything unusual.

Everything around was so quiet and peaceful, as if telling Zhou Zekai: What he just perceived was just an illusion produced by excessive nervous tension.

Zhou Zekai, who didn't believe in evil, looked back and forth in the room a few more times. He even opened up the spiritual realm and enveloped this small office in order to be able to perceive something.However, after several minutes passed, he didn't find any signs of activity.After confirming again and again that there was nothing wrong, Zhou Zekai relaxed a bit in doubt.

He couldn't help but began to wonder if something went wrong with his overtired sensory system because his nerves had been in a state of high tension and he had hardly received Jiang Botao's relief during the past 24 hours of ups and downs. Perceived a mistake.

But the tactile sensation of something dripping on the skin just now was too obvious, Zhou Zekai really had no way to convince himself with the "illusion".

Strange to say, Zhou Zekai touched it with his backhand several times, repeatedly confirming that there was really nothing on the back of his neck.He thought about it a little bit, and he always felt that the thing that fell on the back of his neck was as cold as water, or like diluted gel.But no matter what kind of substance it is, it is impossible for it to evaporate and disappear the moment it falls on the skin, leaving no trace.

Zhou Zekai also looked at the ceiling carefully. The whole plasterboard ceiling structure in the small office ruled out the possibility of water leakage from the ceiling, and the smoke alarm was not on top of his head.

Where the hell did that thing come from?

Just when Zhou Zekai felt strange, something suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Zhou Zekai, who was staring at the ceiling in bewilderment, was so frightened that his hairs stood on end. He subconsciously raised his hand and raised his wrist, and at the same time, with a swift and violent knee strike, he went straight to the opponent three times.Zhou Zekai's defense was very successful, the force holding onto his wrist disappeared instantly, but his knee kick didn't hit the opponent, which is really a pity.

But when Zhou Zekai looked down, he realized that there was no one in front of him!In front of him was only the blank wall that said "Help"!

Zhou Zekai frowned, his mental barrier was still open, but it had no effect on perceiving the enemy.This made him clearly realize that the situation he is facing now is not much different from when he was facing the Yin-Yang Butterfly at that time: the enemy is dark, but he is clear, and he has no idea where the opponent is, and he does not know under what circumstances the opponent will launch what an attack.
