The pantry was awfully quiet.
The air was frozen throughout, and Gao Yang could hear his heartbeat accelerating frantically: it's over, it's definitely been discovered.
Gao Yang tilted his head to look at Qing Ling, who was expressionless, her brain was thinking at high speed:
If Officer Huang was an angry beast, she had no chance of winning.
Of course, killing an angry beast is not difficult for her, but there are hundreds of "people" outside the pantry, once she reveals her identity as an Awakened, she will definitely die.
Escape?
Even if she escaped now, her identity had already been exposed and she wouldn't survive for more than a few days.
Qing Ling's last companion was stronger than her, but she still died because she accidentally exposed her identity.
She had no choice but to gamble on the last possibility.
"Officer Huang, why are you here?" Three seconds later, Qing Ling opened her mouth to ask.
Officer Huang slowly walked over to the water fountain and bent down to receive a cup of cold water, completely exposing his backside to Qing Ling and Gao Yang's eyes.
After receiving the water, he turned around and leaned on the edge of the table where the water dispenser was placed, "It's still Li Weiwei's case, I wanted to start my investigation from the people around her, so I came to attend the farewell party for the remains."
"Did you find out anything?" Gao Yang tried to play the role of being concerned about the progress of the case.
"After asking around, there's a bit of a clue. Can't tell you guys though." Officer Huang took a sip of water and smiled, "By the way, what were you guys talking about just now, it sounded quite interesting, what beast? What rules?"
Gao Yang's heart sank hard, he really couldn't muddle through.
Since this was the case, the dead horse would be the cure.
"A survival game that's being played recently, it's very hot." Gao Yang glanced at Qing Ling, "We're talking about games."
"Really?" Officer Huang nodded, pondering, "What's the name of this game?"
"It's called ... Monster Human Hopper."
"It's quite interesting to hear the name," Officer Huang sighed without envy, "Young people are just fine, which is like our kind of laborers, there has been no entertainment for a long time."
Officer Huang finished his water, put the disposable cup on the drinking bucket, and leisurely walked out of the pantry.
In just a minute, Gao Yang broke out in a cold sweat and his back was all wet.
He asked Qing Ling, "What now?"
Qing Ling frowned slightly, "Two possibilities. One, he's an Anger Beast, he's already suspicious of us and is deliberately testing us. Two, he is a demented beast."
"Demented beast?"
"Demented beasts are more special, also known as 'lost ones'. Thinking they are human, they deceive themselves. Even if an awakened person appears in front of them, they won't harm the awakened person, usually automatically ignoring key information and automatically correcting the brain's logic and memory."
"If Officer Huang is a demented beast, we are safe." Gao Yang concluded.
"Right, but I won't bet on the probability." Qing Ling walked to the doorway and looked at Officer Huang in the spirit hall through the doorway, "The Raging Beast is extremely hungry for prey, and can eat the Awakened alone, and will never share it with its own kind."
Gao Yang remembered how Li Weiwei looked when she killed herself, "I have seen it ..."
"Now that there are over a hundred people in the spirit hall, there must be more than one angry beast inside. That might be the reason why Officer Huang didn't attack us."
"He wants to eat alone." Gao Yang sucked in a breath of cold air.
"The possibility is high." Qing Ling looked at Gao Yang with an icy gaze, "We still have a chance to silence him first."
...
Late at night, 10 o'clock, Shanqing District, police station.
After the farewell party, Officer Huang drove straight back to the police station.
Qing Ling and Gao Yang took a taxi to follow, after getting off the car, they went to a cafe across the street from the police station, and found a window card seat that was convenient for observation and sat down.
The two ordered some food and drinks, then took out their textbooks and homework, pretending to study together, but actually killing time.
The matter of coming with Qing Ling to kill Officer Huang, Gao Yang initially refused. But on second thought, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Qing Ling fails, he will die sooner or later.
Anyway, to die, it is better to die standing.
This way ... at least seems to have a bit of dignity.
"I have quite a few questions I want to ask you." Gao Yang took a sip of orange juice.
"Say." Qing Ling lowered her head and ate her mango pancake, the way she used her knife and fork to cut the mango pancake into eight large pieces, like she was dealing with an enemy.
"Do you have any other companions besides me?"
"Didn't I tell you, I've known two before, both dead."
"You, then, have been alone?" Gao Yang was incredulous.
"Two." Qing Ling's gaze flowed, "And my sister."
Gao Yang reacted, she was referring to her second personality, Qing Ling.
"It's not easy for you two sisters ...."
"It's better to worry about yourself first." Qing Ling put down her fork, "In a moment, if the operation fails, I will escape and hide."
"What about me?" Gao Yang asked.
"I don't know." Qing Ling's eyes were cold: "I won't care about a tired person."
Gao Yang was hurt.
He wasn't a liability ah, he also had talent!
On second thought, it was better not to humiliate himself in front of a beautiful woman.
The two waited until late at night, when Officer Huang finally came out of the police station.
He walked to the police car by the side of the road and froze just as he pulled out the car keys, he looked down and saw that the front tire was broken - punctured by Qing Ling's remote control dagger.
Officer Huang didn't show too much annoyance as he took out his cell phone and made a call with a smile, then crossed the street and bought a pack of cigarettes.
Qing Ling kept a distance of about fifty meters from Gao Yang and followed carefully.
Officer Huang was smoking and talking on the phone, and when he passed a street park, he turned in, seemingly wanting to take a shortcut.
"Here's your chance." Qing Ling quickened her pace.
"Could it be that he's setting us up?" Gao Yang was very skeptical.
Qing Ling's gaze flickered, "Then we'll see who exactly is the prey."
Late at night, the street park was densely wooded, there were no tourists, Officer Huang was walking alone at night, alone, but the more this happened, the more Gao Yang instead felt that this person was inscrutable and dangerous.
Qing Ling and Gao Yang took out masks and sunglasses from their backpacks and put them on, followed Officer Huang to the hinterland of the park, and found an opportunity to sneak into the back of the neatly trimmed bushes.
Qing Ling stretched out her right and left hands and pointed them at the surveillance on the streetlight above her head.
She concentrated, seemingly controlling something. Two seconds later, she gently clenched her fist, and a slight sound came from the monitor as the "red dot" disappeared.
"Go out and call out to him, say something random to distract him." Qing Ling whispered, "Leave the rest to me."
Gao Yang was very nervous: "Good."
Gao Yang took a deep breath and walked out of the bushes, quickly catching up, "Officer Huang."
Officer Huang stopped and turned back, "Who are ... you?"
Gao Yang pulled off his mask, "Oh, it's me."
"Gao Yang? Why are you here so late?" Officer Huang smiled.
Gao Yang continued his performance, "I suddenly remembered a little clue about Li Weiwei and wanted to tell you."
"Really?" Officer Huang smiled and walked towards Gao Yang, moving slightly eagerly, "Good, tell me ... about it."
Suddenly, Officer Huang's smile disappeared.
He turned around quickly and drew the matching gun on his waist.
