A few hours later, Chen Chen went through an X-ray and was given a change of clothes. All the metal objects were removed and two men in black brought him to an empty room.
This room was a little special. It was about twenty square meters in size. The ceiling of the room was brightly lit with more than a dozen lamps. There was a table and two chairs in the center of the room. The four walls of the room were covered with half-length mirrors.
There were high-definition cameras installed in the four corners of the isolation room, monitoring every corner of the room.
At this time, as Chen Chen entered, he was asked by a security guard to sit on one of the chairs.
However, unlike the chair across the table, Chen Chen's chair did not have a backrest.
Moreover, the surface of the chair was less than half the size of a regular chair. It did not even have a footrest. Rather than calling it a chair, it was more like a stool.
Chen Chen had a history of studying criminal psychology like crazy. Therefore, just by looking at this room, he understood at a glance that this room was not just a place for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with the people from the FBI.
The chair did not have a backrest, so there was no sense of security. There was no footrest, so there was no support. There were cold lights in the room, but it was extremely bright. If one stayed in a room like this for too long, it was easy to become distracted.
As for the half-length mirrors around him, Chen Chen could tell at a glance that behind these mirrors, there were at least more than ten psychologists standing around him, analyzing his every move...
This room was much more high-end than the interrogation rooms in the police station.
After Chen Chen sat down on the chair, two men in black stood behind Chen Chen with their hands behind their back. Although they did not put any shackles on Chen Chen, it was close enough.
In less than ten seconds, as the door opened again, a tall young woman in office lady attire with a cold expression walked in. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and as she strode in with swaying steps, the smooth marble floor suddenly made a clinking sound.
Chen Chen only glanced at her curiously before looking away.
Pipa!
However, when the woman approached Chen Chen, she suddenly pulled out a leather whip and slammed it on the table, startling Chen Chen. At the same time, she said coldly, "Chen Chen, male, 19 years old, Grade 20 student in the Biological Sciences Department of Shangdu Jiao Tong University, originally from Handu. When he was in the third grade of primary school, he broke the school glass and was punished by the homeroom teacher and parents. In the second grade of junior high school, he was given a warning for fighting. In the second grade of senior high school..."
The woman recounted almost everything that had happened to Chen Chen since he was a child, including some things that even Chen Chen could barely remember. When she was done, the woman said coldly, "Chen Chen, do you know the situation you're in now?"
Chen Chen could not help scratching his head when he heard this and said in confusion, "I'm sorry, I don't know, but why do you look so similar to the actors in the romance movies on my computer? Are you trying to seduce me? "
"What did you say?" The woman raised her eyebrows and her voice became even colder.
"I have to say, the FBI is very thorough in their investigation. They've even investigated the genres of movies on my computer."
Chen Chen shook his head with a look of pity on his face. "You might not know this, but these are the type that my dorm leader, Wang Wei, likes. A few days ago, he had to lend his computer to his girlfriend, so he left the stock with me. I prefer the pure and innocent student type..."
"How dare you!"
Before he could finish, the woman slammed the table. A loud noise reached Chen Chen's ears and made his eardrums buzz.
Chen Chen subconsciously turned his head away and then picked his ear. At the same time, his expression became cold. "Enough! Don't talk about such unhealthy topics anymore. Don't tell me the FBI thinks there aren't enough missing students? Let's think about how to solve this problem. "
"You..."
The woman raised an eyebrow and became even more exasperated. However, before she could lose her temper, the voice of a middle-aged man came from the interrogation room. "Shen Qi, that's enough."
The voice came from all directions in the room. Chen Chen looked in all directions, but at this time, the door of the interrogation room opened again. A middle-aged man with gray hair and a dignified expression came in.
"Director, he..."
The woman in the seductive uniform immediately went up to him. Just as she was about to explain, the middle-aged man waved his hand. Only then did the woman reluctantly step aside, allowing the middle-aged man to walk to the table opposite Chen Chen.
Director?
When the man came in, Chen Chen began to size him up. He saw that the middle-aged man was about fifty years old and had a sharp aura. He had a crew cut, but his hair stood up like needles. The dignified aura he exuded was the most powerful person Chen Chen had ever seen.
While Chen Chen was observing the man, the man was also observing him. When the middle-aged man took his seat, he spoke with an unquestionable tone, "Chen Chen, we've seen your statement. We can fulfill your request."
"Your rank isn't high enough."
However, Chen Chen shook his head and said with a straight face, "Branch director, you're still a little short of what I want."
"Insolence!"
The woman called Shen Qi suddenly shouted, but was stopped by the middle-aged man who said nonchalantly, "Of course, I know that my rank isn't high enough. We can fulfill your request to talk to the core members of the Mainland officials, but I'm sorry, in view of the recent disappearance cases in Shangdu, those people can't come in person, but I can arrange for a video call between both parties."
Hearing this, Chen Chen was completely relieved. "Okay, I agree."
"Good."
Seeing this, a trace of relief finally flashed across the middle-aged man's face. At the same time, he moved the chair under him so that he could sit on the side.
Chen Chen immediately realized something. He looked up at the mirror in front of him, only to see the mirror in front of him flash, instantly turning a pure black color, and then there was a "chi chi" sound.
This originally ordinary mirror turned out to be an electronic screen with an unknown technology tree!
The screen flickered, and then the image of a small conference room appeared in front of Chen Chen.
Looking at the scene displayed in the mirror, Chen Chen could not help but draw a sharp breath because on the other side, Chen Chen saw five or six familiar faces. These were the big shots that he often saw on television!
This conference room was the highest level meeting in the Mainland!
"How is it, does it meet your requirements now?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man turned to ask again.
Looking at the people on the screen who were discussing in low voices and looking at him from time to time, Chen Chen nodded. "Yes, if this doesn't meet the requirements, then there's nothing more suitable. But in this case, you should already know about the USB flash drive, right?"
"How do you know?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow.
"It's only because of the spiritual disaster in Shangdu that hasn't completely deteriorated that I can directly contact the elders."
Chen Chen said with a smile, "It's more likely that the USB flash drive in my possession is the reason why you're paying so much attention to me. It's obvious that you found Li Bo before me and found out from him that I have a USB flash drive that can extract movie props. This is the root cause of your attention."
"You're very smart, it's a shame that you're not a detective."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and sighed. "From the beginning to the end, you've been trying your best to take the initiative in the negotiations and it's still the same now. In addition to showing your intelligence, this indirectly shows that you're feeling uneasy. In fact, you didn't have to do this at all. Handing the USB flash drive to us was a better choice because you can't control it."
The middle-aged man pointed to the screen behind him. "Now that there are so many witnesses, you're not worried that I'll kill you to silence you?"
"You don't have to tell me that, I've been aware of this for a long time."
Chen Chen frowned. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have deliberately said in the transcript that I have a solution to this spiritual disaster."
"Spiritual disaster, is that what you named it?"
The middle-aged man picked up the transcript that Chen Chen had discussed and nodded approvingly. "Very good, so where did you put the USB flash drive?"
"Starting from the back door of the Roman Holiday Hotel on Wuhe Street, walk left twenty-five steps, at the bottom of the wall on the left, there's a crack in the wall where the USB flash drive is hidden."
Chen Chen answered without hesitation, "As for the appearance of the USB flash drive, I'm sure you've heard from Li Bo."
"Very well, I hope it's still there."
Seeing that Chen Chen had relented so easily, the middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Chen Chen would make a lot of requests, but Chen Chen's performance once again exceeded his expectations.
For a moment, he could not help but be curious about this young man who was so guarded and yet so calm at the same time.
"Chen Chen, according to what you said, your solution should be to use the power of the USB flash drive. But if you have a solution, why don't you use the USB flash drive to solve it? For example, install a ghost exorcism movie and then extract the exorcism prop? "
The woman called Shen Qi behind him asked again, "Is there any limitation to the USB flash drive?"
"It's an issue of energy."
Chen Chen nodded. In order to show his sincerity and also to save himself, Chen Chen revealed the hiding place of the USB flash drive without the slightest resistance. At this time, there was no point in being competitive, so he said directly, "The USB flash drive needs energy to extract items, and now after releasing the existence in the four horror movies, the USB flash drive has run out of energy."
"What's the source of energy? How do I charge it? "
This question was not asked by Chen Chen, Shen Qi, or the middle-aged man, but by a man on the other side of the video call.
Chen Chen was silent for a moment. He thought about it and did not say anything about the rules of the USB flash drive in his mind. Instead, he pretended to be uncertain and said, "It should be the power."
"How much power does it need?" The man on the video continued to ask.
"A lot."
Chen Chen smiled. "As for the specific amount, you can convert it using Einstein's mass-energy equation."
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. If converted according to the conversion of energy into matter, every gram of matter extracted would require at least an hour's worth of electricity in an international metropolis.
Chen Chen did not say that this much was actually needed. The reason for this was that Chen Chen still wanted to make this group feel a sense of urgency. After all, he was still infected with Kayako's curse.
At once, the interrogation room fell silent.
However, at this moment, a man in a suit suddenly came in. He went directly to the middle-aged man and whispered a few words in his ear. The middle-aged man suddenly became spirited. He nodded and said to Chen Chen, "The USB flash drive has been found."
With that, he stood up directly and bowed deeply to Chen Chen. "On behalf of Mainland China and the Earth Federation, I thank you for your dedication. If the USB flash drive is as you said, then it may be a high-tech product in itself. This object is absolutely of great significance to us humans!"
"Don't celebrate too early."
Chen Chen shook his head. "Let's stop playing around. Let's find a way to charge the USB drive first. Our first priority is to solve the curse of Ju-on. Otherwise, by tomorrow morning, you'll find that not only the metropolis of Shangdu but the entire Mainland will be plagued by strange disappearances."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man became completely serious. "We've already thought of this problem. At this time, all the people who left the school have been temporarily quarantined by us. Even those who left by train or plane will be quarantined by the local security department. Even the civil servants who entered the dormitory building have been quarantined by us. You don't have to worry about this."
F * ck!
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen realized that he had been overthinking. Sure enough, once the machinery of the state was in operation, the power that erupted was not something he could fathom at all. Tens of thousands of people were quarantined just like that, and the outside world did not even hear a word about it.
Just as Chen Chen was sighing inwardly, the door of the interrogation room was opened again with a bang. A man in black rushed in in a panic and shouted at the same time, "Oh no, we tried to charge the USB drive just now, but the USB drive just shattered!"
"What!"
Chen Chen's expression changed and his face turned pale at once.
In the rules passed to him by the USB drive, there was a rule to use electricity to charge it. Moreover, no matter how strong the current was, it would not be damaged. How could it be broken as soon as it was charged?
The FBI was deceiving the Elders Council. The middle-aged man was a foreign spy. Was he trying to transfer the USB drive?
In an instant, Chen Chen thought of this possibility, but in the next second, Chen Chen rejected it again.
Although the Earth Federation existed in name only, causing the FBI, which should have been directly under the jurisdiction of the Earth Federation, to become the subordinates of the various continents, it was not so chaotic that they would dare to snatch the USB drive under the nose of the Elders Council. Moreover, the FBI had great authority, how could the top leader not be suppressed?
Could it be that there were other spies inside?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed in Chen Chen's mind, but he rejected them all because they were too far-fetched.
At this moment, not only did Chen Chen's expression change, but the middle-aged man in front of him and the people in the video also reacted in the same way. The eyes of a few of them suddenly became extremely sharp. They did not look at Chen Chen, but at the middle-aged man beside him with suspicion, causing the middle-aged man to break out in a cold sweat.
Based on their usual thinking, they immediately suspected that it was the middle-aged man who did it.
