Human dimension reduction

A large-scale vicious wounding incident occurred on Qingping Avenue, and all the nearby armed police and special forces were dispatched to block it. Shao Xinglan, who received the news at the first time, urgently notified the members of the operation team in Beijing to go to the scene to assist in the blockade, but the news from the scene was still unacceptable. optimism.

"All the unexplained comatose people showed signs of awakening one after another, and those who woke up began to attack indiscriminately—"

"They still have a weak self-awareness. When talking to them, their facial muscles and eye conditions can show their resistance. Some people try to ask for help, but their bodies seem to be out of self-control..."

Shao Xinglan's brows were twisted into a knot: "Is there someone with hypnotizing ability in place?"

"It is already in place, and the medical team is cooperating with them to contain the hypnotized masses, but according to the current speed, it will take at least six hours to fully contain all the masses present."

"—Bad news, the hypnotized people only calmed down for more than ten minutes, and then started violently hurting people again. Their mental state is still in a deep sleep, and they cannot be hypnotized again."

Shao Xinglan gritted his teeth suddenly, and the deputy sitting next to him shuddered: "The mental state is still sleeping? It sounds like parasites are manipulating their bodies."

He also deliberately chose a more euphemistic term. In fact, if these people hadn't died, "zombie" might be a more appropriate adjective.

However, his unintentional exclamation made Shao Xinglan's pupils shrink. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number. The other party didn't answer, so he was not in a hurry. Knowing the current situation, the person on the other side of the phone is probably also worried about this matter. So he immediately sent a text message in the past, briefly stated his guess, and then patted the front seat: "Drive faster."

The traffic in Qingping District was taken over by the military. The car drove at high speed on the city roads, and arrived at the scene within 10 minutes of the accident.

When he got out of the car, his phone vibrated slightly, and a text message with a serious tone was replied on the screen, which was shorter and more emotionless than the one he sent: "Already contacting Gaul. Control the situation."

Shao Xinglan glanced at it, put the phone back in his pocket, and hurried to the street where red and blue lights flashed.

How much traffic is there in the business district in the center of the capital at night? Few people probably care about this issue. They only know that "there are a lot of people here" and "it's terribly crowded". Inside, no one has the patience to count the people here one by one.

But tonight is an exception.

"A total of 580 people were involved in the incident. Currently, only 12 people are under control and managed in the hospital. As they wake up, the blockade becomes more and more difficult. Crossing No. [-] is almost about to be breached. If they were allowed to enter residential areas, the consequences would be disastrous."

In the slightly cold wind, the sweaty Lian Chang couldn't catch his breath, and burst out a series of words.

The difficulty of managing more than 3 irrational people is completely different from managing [-] sheep. Even if there are [-] sheep, if a wild dog is placed in it, the riots caused The shepherd was terrified. Once any creature formed a large group, it would be aggressive, not to mention the [-] humans at the top of the food chain.

"How is the effect of the anesthesia bomb?" Shao Xinglan reacted very quickly. The first priority now is to control the situation and not let any irrational person enter the community, otherwise the consequences will be unwelcome.

"It has a certain effect, but it can only delay their actions. Your expert said that they have been anesthetized and fell asleep, but they can still move and run! Ge Laozi, it's like being haunted!" The company commander was obviously scared. Feeling a little hairy, I couldn't help but swear.

"What about increasing the dose?" Shao Xinglan asked immediately without any hesitation.

The other party showed a distressed look, and the sweat on his forehead glistened: "I can't increase the dose any more. If you increase the dose, it will be harmful to the human body, and you may really die by then!"

Shao Xinglan's brows suddenly twitched.

Maybe...he really died.

A question that has been unable to be explained since the departure, was suddenly cleared by the company commander's answer!

All comatose people have wounds on their bodies, and they are all wounded in the neck. If you want to kill someone, you only need to use a little more force inside. To be honest, killing a person like this is much easier than saving a person's life. , but the murderer would rather keep his hands on one by one, rather than really make a death—is he afraid of making a big fuss?Obviously not, looking at the current situation, it has nothing to do with being "low-key".

What does it do for him?

It doesn't seem to be any good, the only use is... to hold them back.

Soldiers cannot attack the people, even if they are now more like a group of mobs attacking law and order, but they still have self-awareness, and they are still the people that the country needs to protect, so the army can only try to besiege them here with their hands tied, and dare not take any action. any drastic measures.

If he were the murderer, where would he be at this moment?

A place of absolute safety—

Shao Xinglan turned his gaze to the center of the blockade, where the night sky was already illuminated by alternately flashing red and blue police lights. In order to see the situation clearly, there were also helicopters with high-power searchlights patrolling the crowd from top to bottom. It makes people feel numb. The drones that flashed at a high speed recorded faces on the screen. They have different appearances and ages, but there are desperate pleadings on their ferocious faces. The tearful faces let everyone who saw this scene Everyone's heart is heavy.

The recording of the drone seems to be endless, and the cold number of [-] is displayed on the screen one by one, which is the living life and joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

And the murderer was hiding among them, proudly admiring his achievements.

There is a saying that makes sense, what is the best way to hide a drop of water is to merge it into the sea.

It is absolutely impossible to find a strange point among [-] people, and the rioters will not hurt him, and the army cannot use force against them—both the enemy and the enemy are unknowingly fighting for this cold and twisted point. The killer offers the best protection.

Shao Xinglan felt a little sweat dripping down his back. This guess was very true, but he couldn't tell the people around him—at least not now, and there were still some doubts in this matter that he couldn't figure out.

The phone in his pocket vibrated again, and this time the other party called directly.

"The Gaul side finally spit out. The bald eagle brought a high-risk black hole creature from China. Last night, this black hole creature slaughtered all the regulators and fled from Gaul. Now it seems that it should have fled to China. Specifically I have someone send you the information, and someone will come to assist you soon."

Shao Xinglan answered the phone, and before he could open his mouth, the person on the other side had already said a lot of words like a cannonball, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone on his own, without any intention of greeting from the beginning to the end.

Fortunately, Shao Xinglan had long been used to this style, and entered the mailbox with a normal expression, and there was indeed a new email lying quietly there.

He clicked into the email and looked at it for a while, his face became more and more serious. The content inside obviously increased his guess, but a new question immediately arose.

If, as the information showed, the other party could escape with the help of derivatives, then why didn't she change her identity and leave after killing someone?Just thinking about it, he could think of five or six ways to leave in an upright manner. It didn't make sense that the other party wouldn't think of it. These 3 people could certainly help her cover her tracks, but to put it coldly, keeping their lives would be superfluous.

Shao Xinglan tried to bring himself into the opponent's situation, closed his eyes and began to think.

If I were a non-human being who had no scruples, and all my actions were just to obey my own will, would I be merciful because of pity for human beings when killing people is easier?

will not.

Do I control so many people because I want to start a riot and control a country?

……uncertain.

Would I choose a country with good law and order, good order, and strong armed forces to occupy—if there are other better options?

Unless it's to challenge yourself, it's impossible.

If it was for an armed coup, who would I choose for mass control?

Soldiers, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries, in short, it is impossible to choose a group of civilians at random.

So the question goes back to the original point, why do I have to put in so much effort to control a group of civilians in a "protective" way?

...because I need attention without really causing irreparable consequences.

Why?Am I afraid to face that consequence?

--yes!

Shao Xinglan suddenly opened his eyes, yes, that's it!

"I" needs to attract the attention of someone—or some people, but because the strength of the other party is higher than "me", "I" can only use this to test them!

The one who can make s001, who just made a big fuss in Gaul, so cautious must be an existence on the same level as her.

Shao Xinglan thought of those two mysterious organizations almost without a pause.

Could it be... s001 found their tracks, and they are in the capital?

Smart people's thinking is wild and logical, so unconsciously, they have dissected more than half of the facts!

But even if he guessed everything right, so what?Shao Xinglan's dark eyes stared heavily at the noisy scene in front of him. Armed policemen holding explosion-proof shields blocked all the intersections tightly, and heavily armed soldiers tried to cut apart the gathered crowd and disintegrate them bit by bit. Their actions were considered smooth, and they were not besieged by crowds. This performance moved Shao Xinglan's heart.

It seems that s001 doesn't mind derivatives, they are just a tool for her to achieve her goal, if...

Shao Xinglan made up his mind, simply edited a text message with his thoughts, sent it, took off his coat and threw it on the car, took a deep breath, and patted the shoulder of the armed police in front: "Excuse me, let me go in. "

"It's dangerous ahead..." The other party remained motionless, rejecting this dangerous request.

Shao Xinglan's cell phone rang, and the cell phone, which had been silent for a long time compared to before, finally received a reply, a short six-word reply: "Approved. Be careful."

This bit of warmth is like a little bit of spring breeze blowing under the frozen hard shell, so rare that it can be called precious.

Shao Xinglan glanced at it, opened the mailbox, and there was another new email in it.

He raised his mobile phone and turned the screen towards the person in charge who came over: "I'm going to negotiate with the pass order approved by the supreme leader."

He walked into the encirclement as he wished, and people who lost their minds surrounded him like ants smelling honey. Under the watchful eyes of a group of wild beasts, he calmly said: "Dear lady, I need to have a fight with you!" Talk, since I might be able to help you meet whoever you want."

The people who gathered around suddenly got stuck for a short time, and then the dense crowd made a narrow path for him. Shao Xinglan walked past the faces with different expressions without changing his expression, and walked for almost 10 minutes , I finally saw a girl who didn't fit in with the crowd around a musical fountain.

She was wearing a white dress, had long black hair, smiled when she saw him, and had a small dimple on her cheek.

"Ye An, sir." She nodded reservedly to Shao Xinglan, she clearly looked like a Chinese, but her posture was like a western aristocrat who had stepped off an oil painting.

"I heard you say so boldly that you can help me," she said, curtly.

Shao Xinglan was indifferent to her threatening eyes: "It can't be said to be brazen, if I'm not sure, how dare I come in to see you."

The other party laughed: "Maybe you are a particularly daring liar?"

Shao Xinglan shrugged: "Then what good will it do me if I do this? You have 580 seven people in your hand—oh, now it's 580 eight. What can I cheat from you?" Woolen cloth?"

s001 gently shook his calf like a naive and ignorant girl: "You are very reasonable, then help me find someone, what do you want? - Oh, they are useless to me, I can return them to you .”

She quickly realized Shao Xinglan's intention, and readily agreed to his silent request.

"But, if you can't do it," the girl's eyes curled up in a smile, but there was blood in her tone, "I'll show you a big firework, you will definitely like it."

"Well, my patience is limited. I hope you will let me see him before daylight. Goodbye, Mr. Brave."

She clearly issued the eviction order, and Shao Xinglan didn't stay here with a sneer, and left here neatly.

Their conversations were synchronized in front of other people in real time through the device on Shao Xinglan's body. As soon as he went out, he received a group of people staring in horror and bewilderment: "What are you talking about? Who is she looking for? You promised her?"

Shao Xinglan took off the miniature camera on his body without looking up: "She wants to see someone from the Arbitration Tribunal or the Final Council."

A group of people gasped: "You promised her—do you know where they are? How do you know? Can you find them?"

They really wanted to ask too many questions. Even though they knew this was not the right time to ask questions, they instinctively took a step forward and moved their mouths uncontrollably.

Shao Xinglan threw the camera into the storage basket, took his coat and put it on: "I don't know, even if I knew, would they listen to me and come with me?"

"Then you still?! Are you crazy?! This is not a joke!"

"It's not important, I can't, but someone can," Shao Xinglan opened the car door, ignoring the people trying to keep up with the inquiries, and quickly reported the address, "Psychiatric Department of Capital Medical University."

I hope that his gamble this time can win back those [-] lives.
