Chapter 670 - Upgraded Means (2/2)

“I don’t think they sacrificed themselves. We don’t know much about them. We don’t know what they are, the methods they use to replace us, and what their survival conditions are,” Zhang Heng a.n.a.lyzed. “Maybe our physical bodies are like clothes for them. Perhaps they could dispose of it whenever they want.”

“Have you been investigating this for a long time? You always look like you didn’t get enough sleep in cla.s.s. Has this been the reason?” Bai Qing asked.

“Yes, I’ve been tracking the whereabouts of the college student and investigating the drowning of the three children,” Zhang Heng admitted.

“Why? You said that you are not that close with the college student, and those things have warned you. Why take the risk?”

“Well… I come from the a.s.sociation of Prevention and Control of Invasion of Alien Species. It specializes in handling abnormal phenomena,” Zhang Heng lied, using the name of Shen Xixi’s organization as an excuse.

“It sounds like a mysterious organization that only appears in novels and movies. Is there anyone in this a.s.sociation besides you?”

“Yes, but they are not here. They have other things to deal with, which means we can only rely on ourselves.”

“Sorry, I’m trying very hard to keep up with you, but…” Bai Qing grabbed her head. “It sounds absurd. You’re telling me that aliens have invaded us, and my mother is actually not my mother…”

“It’s okay. Take your time to understand the whole thing. I know how upset you must be right now, and you can either stay here to rest or go to your grandpa’s place. Leave the investigation to me,” Zhang Heng said.

“No, I’ll come with you!” Bai Qing insisted. “Don’t leave me alone.” She reached out and grabbed Zhang Heng’s hand. “The horrible scene in the living room keeps popping up in my mind over and over again. It’s like an awful nightmare. I can’t rest. If what you said is true, can we get my mother back?”

“It is possible, but I must say that the probability is very slim. First, we need to find a way to help your dad.”

“If we can prove that my dad is not the killer, I’m willing to do anything to clear his name,” Bai Qing proclaimed without hesitation.

“Okay, let’s start with the corpse and see if we can find anything,” Zhang Heng said.
