"Quick, take me to him!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly yelled and quickly walked past Chen Chen, leaving the interrogation room with a clang.
Shen Qi and the two men in black who were watching over Chen Chen in the room did the same. She glared at Chen Chen and left with the middle-aged man. Even the screen in front of Chen Chen turned black again and then turned into a mirror again.
For a time, Chen Chen was the only one left in the room.
At this time, Chen Chen was also very frustrated. He had thought of thousands of scenarios, but he did not expect something like this to happen.
Now it seemed that there were basically only three possibilities for the USB drive to shatter.
First, the USB drive had been swapped after he hid it.
This was not impossible. After all, although Chen Chen had been extremely careful and chose a place with a clear view, at the same time, in an alley without any surveillance, he had not received professional training after all. If he was targeted while hiding the USB flash drive, it was normal for the USB flash drive to be swapped.
However, if this was the case, there was still something that did not make sense. The other party could have just taken the USB drive away. Why would they put a counterfeit that was identical to the original USB drive to confuse him?
Second, the USB drive was real, but it had been swapped by the FBI spy.
This possibility even exceeded the first possibility, but this was also the trickiest because even Chen Chen himself could not prove the authenticity of the USB drive. Even if he said that the shattered USB drive was fake, he would not be able to defend himself.
Third, he only told the three people in his dorm about the existence of the USB drive. Wang Wei and Zhou Jie were already dead. The only one who knew about the USB drive's function was Li Bo. Li Bo had lived with Chen Chen for a long time. If he also had any ideas about the USB drive...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen suddenly fell silent.
If it was really Li Bo who did it, then it could only be said that his acting was already Oscar-worthy. It was a waste of his talent to be a student here.
As for the other possibilities, Chen Chen was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, without the USB drive, he would only die.
Just when Chen Chen was feeling a little dejected, suddenly, the lights in the interrogation room began to flicker.
This interrogation room was used to create a sense of oppression for the person being interrogated. Therefore, there were more than a dozen cold light tubes at the top of the room, enough to illuminate the interrogation room.
But at this time, it seemed that because of the unstable voltage, the lamp above his head started to flicker continuously, illuminating the room.
At first, Chen Chen did not care, but after this situation lasted for more than ten seconds, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
What is this place? This was not a remote village or one of those peripheral continents. This was the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the direct jurisdiction of the continent's government. How could there be a voltage instability here?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen immediately felt a chill in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the huge mirror in front of him, but between the darkness and light of the room, he saw a little boy standing behind him...
The little boy wasn't wearing any clothes. His entire body was deathly pale, the color of a dead human. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and there was no white in his eyes. He stood silently in the corner of the room and stared at her.
This was Kayako's son, Toshio.
At this moment, Chen Chen only felt an unusual chill suddenly coming from behind. All the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Am I going to die?"
This was the only thought in Chen Chen's mind. At this moment, he did not even have the strength to stand. He could only watch helplessly as Toshio in the corner stared at him with an innocent face.
"Kekeke..."
There was a gurgling sound in his ears again, but it was different from the sound Chen Chen had heard before. This sound came from behind him, very close!
Chen Chen only felt that his blood was about to freeze. He did not know whether it was because of fear or the power of Kayako, at this time, Chen Chen could not move at all. He could only open his eyes and look at himself in the mirror, only to see that there were two slender arms slowly reaching out from behind him...
These two arms kept twisting and turning as if they were dancing. It was a bizarre sight to behold. Just like Toshio in the corner, these two arms were also the color of a corpse. It slowly crept out from behind Chen Chen and then suddenly landed on Chen Chen's shoulders with a loud click!
In an instant, an indescribable feeling hit him, like a bone-chilling cold, like an electric current passing through his body in an instant!
Just by being placed on his shoulders, Chen Chen had the illusion that his consciousness was about to dissipate!
"Kekekekeke..."
The throaty sound that seemed to be urging him to die was close at hand, but Chen Chen could not even turn his head. He could only stare helplessly at the mirror. In the flickering light, behind his right shoulder was a dark mass that was constantly rising.
It was a head with disheveled hair!
Chen Chen's face kept twitching. He used all his strength to tilt his head to the right. Suddenly, he only felt his vision go black. The light went out less than three seconds before it came back on again. However, at the same time, Chen Chen immediately saw a pair of pure black eyes less than three centimeters in front of his eyes, staring straight at him!
What a pair of eyes, without the slightest trace of humanity and emotion, only endless emptiness and hatred for life!
Then, the light in the room completely dimmed!
At this moment, Chen Chen only felt himself being dragged backward by those hands. His thoughts also became slower and more stagnant. It seemed that just physical contact had caused him extremely serious damage. In the darkness, Chen Chen felt himself being dragged out of the chair, toward a deeper, darker unknown...
Still, at this moment, Chen Chen suddenly heard a click, but the door next to him opened...
This sound was like the sound of nature. At the same time, Chen Chen only felt only a light shining through the door. When this light shone on him, Chen Chen suddenly felt his body relax and the feeling of being dragged away quickly disappeared.
When Chen Chen came back to his senses, he found that at some point, the light above him had returned to normal, and he was still sitting in the chair, exactly the same as before.
"Chen Chen! You... Huh? "
Shen Qi, who came in, was already angry, but she didn't know why, the moment she entered the interrogation room, she found that the lights in the room were turned off. Before she could react, she found that the lights flashed again, and the lights were turned on again.
Not only that, the moment she stepped into the room, she felt an inexplicable chill.
This kind of chill had nothing to do with temperature, but a kind of chill that seeped into the bones. Just by touching it, it gave her goosebumps as if she had been electrocuted. It was completely indescribable.
Still, she did not care about this and directly walked in front of Chen Chen. "Chen Chen, tell me, why did the USB drive shatter? Did you fool us with a fake? ... I'm asking you a question! Chen Chen? Chen Chen! "
Shen Qi asked several questions in a row, only to find that although Chen Chen was looking at her, his face was extremely pale, even faintly showing a bluish-black color, as if he was terminally ill, or even the color of a dead corpse.
What's wrong? "
Just when Shen Qi was puzzled, the director of the FBI came in again. This time, he was not as calm as before, but his face was full of anxiety, even a hint of anger, but after seeing Chen Chen's face, he was suddenly shocked. "Could it be suicide by poison? Quick, go get the doctor! "
Fortunately, the FBI was equipped with their own dedicated doctors. In less than five minutes, several doctors and nurses quickly arrived with equipment and first aid tools, but by the time they lifted Chen Chen onto a stretcher, Chen Chen was slowly recovering.
"I, I'm fine!"
Chen Chen struggled to sit up, at the same time, gasping for breath.
"Subdue him!"
Shen Qi quickly ordered. When the other guards heard the order, they were about to step forward, but Chen Chen grabbed his collar and at the same time, yanked hard.
Suddenly, two dark blue marks appeared in front of everyone.
"This is?"
The doctors were shocked. From a third-person perspective, these two marks were extremely clear. It was completely in the shape of two palms, each finger was clearly distinguishable, even the left and right hands could be distinguished.
"This is the curse of Ju-on..."
Chen Chen touched the mark on his shoulder, but it was numb. Forget about pain, even the sense of touch did not exist.
"This is a symptom of skin necrosis. It looks like it's been a long time, at least more than half a month."
One of the doctors frowned. "But if it's been so long, it should have been inflamed and suppurated, not like this."
The middle-aged man on the side suddenly narrowed his eyes. As the highest person in charge here, of course, he knew very well that the young man in front of him had undergone a full body examination before coming in, from the inside to the outside with a CT scan, in order to find the USB drive.
At that time, there were no wounds on the young man's body.
"Just now, I was attacked by a spiritual hazard."
Chen Chen said with a hint of anger, "Where are the psychologists? Shouldn't they be standing behind the double-sided mirror and observing me? How could they not know that I was attacked? "
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately looked at Shen Qi beside him.
"Just now, after learning that the USB drive was broken, several psychologists came with us to look at the USB drive..."
Shen Qi whispered.
"In that case, no one saw that I was in danger just now?"
Chen Chen sighed. He wanted to complain that such a large confidential department could not even keep an eye on him. If someone had not come in and interfered with Kayako's plans, his corpse would probably be cold by now.
However, when he thought of this, Chen Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He only felt that he seemed to vaguely grasp something, but when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing.
"Immediately treat the injury on Chen Chen's shoulder!"
Knowing that now was not the time to pursue responsibility, the middle-aged man suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart and said loudly, "Chen Chen, but I still need to trouble you to confirm whether the USB drive is real or fake. We suspect that someone has swapped the USB drive."
"That's for sure, I also want to confirm it."
Chen Chen nodded weakly.
Seeing this, several doctors pushed Chen Chen's stretcher out of the interrogation room and pushed him into the depths of the corridor.
Soon, Chen Chen came to the door of an elevator at the end of the corridor. The door of this elevator was far larger and thicker than ordinary elevators. At this time, when the elevator door opened, the huge elevator space inside was revealed.
Inside the elevator, there were already two armed guards standing inside.
"Go in."
The middle-aged man reminded them and let the doctors in as well. When they entered the elevator, the doctors freed up their hands to help Chen Chen deal with the marks on both sides of his shoulders. Chen Chen looked around curiously, only to find that there was no button in the elevator. After the door closed, it directly descended.
It seemed that the FBI unit had a basement structure.
Chen Chen thought silently. For some reason, Chen Chen felt inexplicably close to this style of keeping secrets underground.
The elevator only descended for a minute. When the elevator stopped and the door opened at the same time, a huge space suddenly came into Chen Chen's eyes.
This was a small square the size of an underground parking lot and the height was incomparable to underground parking lots. It reached nearly ten meters high and the entire square was filled with dozens of strange-shaped instruments.
Between these instruments, a large number of cables comparable to the thickness of a baby's fist were connected. Some of the instruments even constantly flashed with blue light. From afar, it had a somewhat steampunk sci-fi feel.
It seemed that this was the place to charge the USB drive.
Although Chen Chen did not know what these instruments were used for, if he were to use the elimination method, he could first eliminate one possibility — they were not generators.
Just as Chen Chen was pondering, six soldiers armed with live ammunition walked over in a formation from a distance. In the center of these six soldiers was a white-bearded old man wearing a white coat.
The old man came over with a metal box, directly in front of Chen Chen, and then he opened the metal box in front of everyone.
Inside the metal box, there was a USB flash drive that had been broken into four irregular pieces.
"Old Yu, how's the inspection?"
When he saw the USB drive, although the middle-aged man was anxious, he still asked politely.
"There's no internal structure. This USB drive is completely solid."
The professor known as Old Yu wore gloves and picked up one of the USB drive fragments. At the same time, there was a flash of amazement and sorrow in his eyes. "And the material composition, even if the most powerful scanning tunneling electron microscope magnifies a million times, it's still flat. This isn't a material structure that should exist in this world. I'm sorry, with our human technology, we can't even analyze it..."
When he heard this, the middle-aged man's heart was relieved at first, then it sank.
The reason why he was relieved was that the strange characteristics of this USB drive completely proved the authenticity of the USB drive, which meant that there was no possibility of the USB drive being swapped.
After that, his heart sank again because if this USB drive was broken, then how were they going to fight the mysterious cases of people disappearing in the city?
"Can I take a look?"
Just as the middle-aged man's mind was in a whirl, Chen Chen suddenly spoke. He stretched out his hand and said to the white-bearded old man, "Elder Yu, I'd like to see if this is the one I got before."
"No, the USB drive is already broken. What if you look and cause secondary damage?" Shen Qi immediately stopped him.
"It's fine, let him look."
However, the white-bearded old man directly handed the box to Chen Chen and at the same time said nonchalantly, "This USB drive fragment has been tested for strength and hardness. Even diamond can't leave the slightest scratch on it. Although its strength hasn't been measured, it's certain that it far exceeds the limits of modern human technology."
"Thank you."
Only then did Chen Chen take the box and at the same time, he picked up a fragment and examined it carefully.
However, the moment Chen Chen touched the USB drive fragment, Chen Chen suddenly felt a burning sensation. His fingers loosened and the fragment fell directly back into the box. However, in the next second, everyone's eyes widened!
This was because when the USB drive fell into the box, the USB drive fragment directly turned into a puddle of pure black liquid and at the same time, it quickly flowed toward the other fragments. When it came into contact with the second fragment, the second fragment also melted, followed by the third, the fourth!
When all the USB drive fragments melted and gathered together, a miracle happened...
