I take skeletons to the apocalypse

"The data of the replaced surveillance video is damaged and cannot be repaired."

"During the patrol on the island, no suspicious persons were found."

"Everyone is traveling in a group, so at that time, unless the person in the group is an accomplice, everyone on the island has a sufficient alibi."

At the meeting, bad news came one after another, but there were no useful clues.

"Clang!"

Gu Ming got angry and smashed a cup in the conference room: "It can't be a ghost who took people away, right?"

"Damn it, let me know who the ghost is, I'll beat him until he can't even recognize him." Gu Mingtong walked around the meeting room like a restless beast with red eyes.Xiang Lei pulled him several times but couldn't hold him back.

He was not irritable at first, but he was a little jumpy. He has changed a lot during this time. The reason why he is so angry is that one of the three missing supernatural beings is his good brother who fought side by side, and two They are his crew members. Although they joined after they came to the island, they have always been with him day and night. In his eyes, they are just like his younger brothers and sisters.

"Gu Ming." Chao Mo stopped Gu Ming from venting with a cold face, and he rarely showed a bit of sternness: "I know you are angry, so many people are missing, who would feel uncomfortable, but you vent your emotions so meaninglessly , can only continue to waste time."

"The other party is hiding in the dark, and their intentions are unclear. If we waste a little more time, we may lose a few more teammates. Those missing players and their families are unknown. If they are found one day earlier, their chances of survival will be higher."

After being reprimanded by Chao Mo, Gu Ming didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and sat back on his seat with his head down.Chao Mo looked at the other people in the conference room: "You are all the backbone of Chasing Light, or have had contact with the missing person. So far, there is no clue about this disappearance, so I hope everyone can brainstorm, whether it is If you have any doubts, suspicious clues, or any method suggestions, you can tell them. As long as there is a little hope, I must find out the murderer and find the missing person."

Not long after his words fell, Xiang Lei spoke first: "After the second missing person, I immediately informed Gu Ming to cancel today's trip to sea, but searched the boat, but found no trace of any hidden people. The seaside area There were drone patrols and no bodies thrown out, so it's highly likely that those people are still on the island."

Another team member immediately said: "We have life detection equipment, which can immediately conduct a blanket search on the island. As long as the person is still alive, we can find the person by digging three feet."

"What if they are already dead?" Song Rui asked sharply, and then said: "Although everyone hopes that they can live and be found safely, I think they are probably dead, especially It's the five people who went missing last week. Life detectors are fine, but don't expect too much. We have more pressing matters now."

Song Qiao nodded in agreement, and continued: "Our focus should be on finding the murderer, not on finding the missing person. The other party's methods are very subtle and cunning, and they succeeded twice in a row. If the person is not caught as soon as possible, there is a high possibility that someone will appear." The third time and the fourth time. We can’t keep being passive like this.”

"We can try to profile the murderer." A person with a reasoning hobby said, "Actually, we have some information about him, haven't we? He should have good computer skills and the ability to switch surveillance cameras." Access to the authority of the monitoring room. At the same time, he can make so many supernatural beings submit without any trace of fighting. This person should also be the best among supernatural beings, and he should be popular, so these people are not defensive at all .”

Chao Mo shook his head: "It's meaningless to infer like this. The murderer is probably not alone. And since he can hide even people, how can we be sure whether he has the ability to hide?"

Chao Mo pushed his glasses and talked about his thoughts: "I think we should start with his method of making people disappear. There are no traces of fighting at the scene, and there are no abnormal fluctuations around. These can be achieved with some conditions. But the most peculiar The most important thing is that the monitoring was broken for only a few minutes, when these people disappeared, there were no witnesses around, and the monitoring happened to be broken at that time."

"It requires the missing person to pass by the damaged surveillance location at exactly the unaccompanied hours. It's almost like the missing person actively avoids the crowd and walks towards the broken surveillance at a set time. I suspect they are in It was controlled by something before it disappeared."

Xiang Lei: "I think we can investigate all the people who left the island. If there are really items such as drugs, they may still be left."

Zhao Mo nodded, then looked at Xia Xi and Jing Lan who had been silent all this time, wanting to ask their opinions.In Chaomo's view, the possibility of Jing Lan and the doctor cooperating is very slim, and Hei Ya is the benefactor of the whole base, so the suspicion of the two is the least.

They successfully brought back the mother clover plant from the doctor not long ago, perhaps this time they can also provide a good idea.

It's a pity that Xia Xi didn't have any intention to speak, and his eyes stopped in the distance, as if he was in a daze.

Jing Lan said lightly: "All staff have a physical examination."

Chao Mo was startled for a moment, and immediately understood.Their imaginary enemy is the doctor, and the doctor likes to work hard on people, whether it is drug control or implanting something in the body, as long as they go through a physical examination, they can find everything.At the same time, if he intends to search the residence, this time is just right to gather all the people on the island and not give them any chance to hide their belongings.

"This is a good idea." Chaomo arranged: "Gu Ming, tell everyone to gather at the clinic gate tomorrow morning. Let the medical staff on the island work overtime tonight. Everyone, all items that can be checked, Check it all out."

"Okay." Gu Ming readily agreed.

Chao Mo asked again: "Be careful to keep it secret. Don't reveal the news in advance."

"Xiang Lei. You are responsible for searching everyone's residence one by one during the medical examination period. Record all suspicious things."

A reborn reminded in a low voice: "Captain, it's not good to search the room without saying hello."

Chao Mo didn't take it seriously: "I do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and I will explain to everyone afterwards."

Xiang Lei responded very simply: "Okay."

After the meeting ended, Xia Xi and Jing Lan walked side by side towards the residence.

"What are you thinking? Do you have someone to suspect?" Jing Lan asked.He found that Xia Xi seemed to have returned to the state when he first came to the island.

At that time, Xia Xi was hiding something, and then he finally seemed to figure it out, but after the situation of missing people, he showed that embarrassed look again.

"Well, it's just an unfounded guess." Xia Xi responded without saying much.

Xia Xi was indeed suspicious of Jing Yue.This is an unreasonable, almost intuitive suspicion.But his reason is denying his guess again.

There are three grounds for denial:

First, based on his previous observations, Jing Yue is indeed Jing Lan's uncle, and he is very concerned about Jing Lan, and there is no sign of being dropped.

Second, Jing Yue didn't have any special abilities in his body. With his abilities, even with some black technology, he shouldn't be able to arrest people silently.

Thirdly, he stayed in the refuge recently, and deliberately made the skeleton pay attention to Jing Yue's movement trajectory.It turns out that Jing Yue is very obsessed with the research of artificial humans recently, except for eating and sleeping, he basically never leaves the laboratory.In terms of the time of committing the crime, there is no time and opportunity to start.

In addition, if the disappearance is really caused by the doctor, what Xia Xi can't figure out is what the doctor's intention is.The missing people are almost completely random, men and women, young and old, with or without abilities.Xia Xi couldn't figure it out, what's the point of the other party spending so much effort to capture or kill these people?

The next day's physical examination and search were fruitful, and indeed a few problematic members were found.

The first member is a newcomer who joined the Light Chaser not long ago.During the physical examination, he was found to contain a small amount of mutated mushroom spores in his body, and he was judged to have taken the new drug from the Jingting City Research Institute.

However, he himself did not admit that he had anything to do with this missing person case, but shouted loudly: "I am wronged, I met someone who was selling new drugs in the black market when I left the island. My ability is the wind element, and my cultivation After such a long time, I was stuck at the second level and couldn’t go up. The man said that after taking this medicine, I could level up. Of course I was moved, and I spent five third-level crystals to exchange a new medicine with him.”

"I didn't want to betray Zhuguang, I just wanted to improve my self-protection ability. After all, our wind ability, before level [-], our self-protection ability is really bad. I saw so many people taking this medicine, how many There's nothing wrong with Yue, I was fascinated by ghosts for a while..."

After hearing this, Gu Ming was so angry that he kicked the young supernatural user to the ground: "You idiot, can you eat that thing casually? Mr. Black Crow has made public the information about the new medicine a long time ago. Although the thing has no side effects on the surface, in fact, after taking the medicine, you become someone else's ability reserve, once you touch the mushroom body, the other party can reverse your ability at any time!"

"Then it's good for me to hide a little bit. Anyway, I've been on the island now, and it's impossible for the mushroom to come to the island to find me." The man said disapprovingly.

After a physical examination, it was found that there were more than one person who had the same idea as him. In the entire Zhuguang base, there were actually three people who had taken the new drug, and one of them was even an ordinary person without supernatural powers. He took the new drug simply because he wanted to pass this method. Try to see if it is possible for you to activate the ability as well.It's a pity that it failed in the end, but his physical recovery ability and resistance have also improved slightly, basically approaching the first-level ability user.

However, apart from taking the new medicine, these three people did not have any other abnormalities.Chaomo ordered the person to be temporarily guarded, pending follow-up investigation.

And there is only one supernatural person left, so the suspicion is much greater.

This man is called He Yue, and he is a reborn person who has followed Chaomo since the end of the world.Xiang Lei found a pack of needles in his room.After testing, it was a level four hypnotic hedgehog's spine, which would cause the other person to fall into a coma after an hour if it was pierced into anyone's body.Moreover, there are some paralyzing toxins on the needle, so that the needle can anesthetize the pain of the opponent at the moment of piercing, so that the person who is stabbed cannot feel that he has been pierced.

"I've suffered from insomnia recently. I bought this needle from the black market for my own use. I never thought of harming anyone." He Yue faltered and tried to defend himself, but he couldn't hide the guilt in his eyes.

"The second-level sleep aid lavender can't be used, so I have to buy a fourth-level hedgehog needle to prick myself?" Chao Mo mercilessly exposed He Yue's lie. He looked at the other side with the pain of being betrayed in his eyes: "He Yue, We have been teammates for six years, past and present, and I have always regarded you as my own younger brother."

He Yue looked away, he was originally an honest person, so no one doubted him before he was found out.But now that the physical evidence is all there, he has no power to defend himself.

He lowered his head, with a painful expression on his face, as if there was something unspeakable: "Captain, I am sorry for you, you kill me."

Chaomo: "Kill you and then? With your heart, you shouldn't be able to be the mastermind. There must be your accomplices here. After you die, my clue here will be cut off. After a week, there will be other victims." Appear. Some of them are your brothers who were born and died, some are their family members, and some are young people who followed us to the island because they believed in us. If you don’t say anything, you are killing them.”

He Yue held his head in pain, and muttered in his mouth: "I am sorry everyone. I participated in the action, but I was also forced to help."

"Do you have an important person in the hands of the doctor?" Jing Lan looked at He Yue's embarrassed look, and quickly guessed the key.He really knows the doctor's method of threatening people too well.

Sure enough, He Yue trembled violently when he heard these words.

Jing Lan said cruelly: "With the character of a doctor, once you are exposed, you will lose all use value. The hostages will either be sent to the laboratory as materials by him, or sold to the factory as slaves."

"No, don't. Nannan, Nannan..." He Yue tugged at his hair and cried out.

Zhao Mo sighed: "Tell me everything you know and make amends. We can try to rescue your daughter within our ability. If you don't tell me, she will definitely die."

He Yue fell to the ground and said in a compromised voice: "Captain, you know, my wife and I were divorced before the end of the world, and my daughter lived with her. After the end of the last life, my daughter died in the end of the world without persisting for a week." At first, I vowed to save her in this rebirth. But when I searched for it, I only found a message from the doctor. He said that my wife and daughter were taken to Xincheng by his people. He said he would take care of them for me Well done, as long as I can do one little thing for him in the future."

"Not long after that, you found me. After that, the doctor didn't give me any orders. I even thought that it was all right. I asked someone to visit my daughter in the new city of Jingting City. She is really having a good time now. Well, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and I can still go to school.”

"Until a month ago, there was an extra message in my communicator. The other party gave me a place on the road and asked me to pick up the hedgehog needle. After getting it back, a few days later, it was the day when someone disappeared last week. , He gave me a new order, asking me to find five people and stick needles in them."

"At that time, I was still lucky, thinking that it was not a big deal to just let people sleep for a while. I found five people as soon as possible, and used their abilities to send hedgehog needles into their bodies. As a result, after an hour, all these people disappeared .This week, the other party asked me to choose three people to get needles. I don’t want to attack my brother, but the time he gave is too tight, and you, the captain, ask everyone to act together, so there are very few chances to do it.”

"What did you use to receive the other party's message?" Chao Mo asked again.

He Yue handed over his personal terminal: "This is it. The other party is very cautious. Every time a message is sent, as long as I read it, the message will be automatically destroyed."

Chao Mo: "So you don't know who the other people involved in this matter are?"

He Yue shook his head.

Chaomo handed the communicator to Shiyin and asked him to try to recover the information on it.But Shi Yin also said that the possibility of recovery is extremely small.

As for the pack of hedgehog needles, Zhao Mo put them into a pocket as physical evidence and prepared to take them away.

When passing by Xia Xi, Xia Xi suddenly raised his head.

"Wait." He strangely felt two kinds of fluctuations of abilities from Chao Mo's hand, one was the obvious hedgehog needle after all, but at the same time there was another kind, very subtle fluctuations of abilities.

"Can you show me?"

"Of course." Chaomo handed the hedgehog needle to Xia Xi.

Xia Xi opened the bag, took out the hedgehog needles and looked carefully at the sunlight, and found that at the end of each hedgehog needle, there was a transparent silk thread less than a hundredth the thickness of a hair.

"Puppet spider silk."
