Chapter 163: Strange Crowd

For a moment, Linn's expression became subtle, but it was well controlled within a calm range and did not attract the attention of Douglas or Bill.

Qian Ning?

Mr. Xiao remembered this short boy. He and Arthur were together and had been attending free clinics in the lower city. I met them by chance at the bar, but they had a good chat with Arthur. Now I suddenly learned from Detective Douglas that this child was involved in danger. Linn instinctively felt a little compassionate. From the experience of Arthur and Qian Ning is just a child in his eyes.

There is a social norm. When some people are capable, they will choose those who are immoral to retaliate. Similarly, when a person is capable, he will also lend a helping hand to moral people.

Lin En would like to help Chan Ning if possible.

Of course you have to understand what happened to him first.

Douglas was obviously a little nervous, presumably recalling some not-so-good things. Bill saw his hands tightening unconsciously, his crossed legs shaking slightly, and he took the initiative to answer.

"This Qian Ning, has he tampered with the extraordinary?"

The patrolmen at Elba Field are all patrolling with guns. If they find some people who are secretly studying extraordinary people, they can easily deal with them by themselves. If it is an unsystematic extraordinary person who dares to be stubborn, he will be beaten by the full power of the general without even jumping. He was sent to serve the Righteous God.

"That's not true. At that time, we didn't...ahem, shoot." Douglas gave a somewhat ugly smile.

"You continue." Bill nodded.

In the blink of an eye, Lin En's green eyes recorded all of Douglas's micro-expressions and body language into the memory palace. The power of the [Flower Maker] allowed him to quickly analyze these temporary pictures. Nervous, scared, and confused, the young gentleman controlling the field next to him tilted his head. The emotion that puzzled him the most was fear.

There is no dabbling in the transcendent.

As a police officer who has worked at Elba Field for more than twelve years, has four years of extensive front-line experience, and has taken the lead in suppressing collective riots many times, it is very unusual to feel strong fear.

"That night, I received a report that someone was gathering for a riot on Xiuzong Street in Xiacheng District, and the church below was also affected, so I and my subordinates went there with guns. It was already very dark at that time, Xiuzong Street There is no light at all in the cage, only the wind lantern we brought can barely illuminate it.”

Douglas clearly recalled that it was the first time in all his years as a police officer that he felt scared.

"How to describe it... Before we arrived at Xicong Street, we already saw people on the road. These people were very strange..."

"What's strange?"

Bill asked.

"The strange thing is that although they look like people, they don't feel like people to me. They are more like puppets or puppets. One of my boys was so scared that he knocked down a person who blocked the road because the lighting was very poor. Because of that, I seemed to see that the man had a broken arm, but I wasn’t sure because his expression didn’t look like someone who had a broken hand at all. It was unnervingly calm.”

Lin En also felt a little hairy after hearing the description. This has nothing to do with power, but human instinct.

Uncanny Valley Theory.

That is, after the similarity between an anthropomorphic existence and a human being exceeds a certain threshold, even a slight difference will be very conspicuous and dazzling, making this anthropomorphic existence appear very stiff and terrifying.

In addition, there is a less popular theory, which Lin En also discovered when he inadvertently searched for information. Some scholars believe that the reason why humans have the uncanny valley effect is mainly because they are afraid of corpses. Zoology shows that humans should For a certain period of time, I was extremely afraid of a creature similar to myself, so I kept that feeling in my instinct.

As for what that creature is, it is unknown.

Linn's divergent thinking was quickly reined in.

"Then I entered Xilong Street. Oh my God, Xilong Street was full of people. They didn't look like the residents of Lower City at all. They were people who should know how to fear and respect. They were all looking at the same place. . To be honest, we were frightened and thought we were about to go crazy or be killed if we broke into some large-scale extraordinary ceremony.”

With a sneer, the match was lit.

Douglas, who was still frightened, lit the cigarette. It was obvious that he rarely smoked and his movements were relatively unfamiliar. Both Lynn and Bill acquiesced in his behavior to relieve stress. After all, the atmosphere had to be relieved.

The room seemed to become a lot more gloomy at this time.

Douglas's exposition began again.

"However, we have learned how to identify them, and those people didn't pay attention to us at all. We gradually understood that it was actually a party in front of us. I wanted to expel them at the time and let these people disperse to avoid unnecessary trouble. The military police are not as easy to talk to as we are about misunderstandings.”

"But no matter how we drive them away, it doesn't matter to these people. They don't resist. They stand up after being pushed down. They are not afraid at all when being pointed at a gun. Even if there is no extraordinary power inside, so many people stand together and look like this We just watched us and stopped us from moving."

Are the untouchables turning upside down? Are you ready to hang the master?

Linn was curious as to what made the people in Xiacheng District suddenly so brave and calm in the face of a gun.

"When we didn't know what to do, I heard knocking sounds, and then I realized that these people had been looking at the source of the knocking sounds. There seemed to be wailing sounds, sorry that I was too nervous at the time and didn't hear it clearly. Anyway, before I could think too much, the boy, Channing, came out of the crowd."

"At that time, I had a very strange feeling. I realized that he might be the source of this weird party. I rushed over and handcuffed him and prepared to take him away. At that time, his hands were all blood."

"Those people who were no different from corpses suddenly moved together at this time and trapped several of us inside. We fired warning shots, but it was useless. I calculated that even if we used up all the bullets in our bodies, it would be impossible to kill all the people."

This scene is simply a zombie siege.

Lin En sharply commented on the pressure and fear faced by the police at the time. If they were not afraid of death, they could easily drown several rifles with human wave tactics.

As long as they were not afraid of death.

"Then how did you escape?" Bill changed his posture again. He felt his legs a little numb because he was listening intently.

In that situation, even if a lower-order extraordinary person wanted to escape, it would not be easy.

"It was Qian Ning who asked those people to move aside and let us take him away."

"Was he emotionally stable at the time?" Lin En frowned and asked a key question.

"At least much more stable than us policemen." Douglas smiled bitterly.

It was the first time in his life that he saw a child who was handcuffed and escorted by the police, with five or six guns pointed at his head, and he could still calmly ask the people around him to move aside. At that moment, Douglas truly experienced what it meant to have no sense of security even with a gun.
