Chapter 7 Chapter 7 (2/2)
This man was very tall and when he didn’t smile, he would give off oppressiveness that couldn’t be overlooked.
While he was being looked down at like this, Ji Yushi somehow had the urge to continue his words, “Designed after the PPK style from the last century, Hitler and Bond have used it.”
Song Qinglan probably also wanted to say that just now. After being robbed of his words, he raised his brow slightly and appeared a little haughty, “Advisor Ji, you are very retro.”
Ji Yushi was a little surprised: “……..”
What was going on?
Song Qinglan’s words interrupted his thoughts, “If it was me, I would try to choose something that can protect myself better.”
Ji Yushi looked up at him.
“A small suggestion.” Song Qinglan raised his brow slightly and chose a weapon for himself, “But, it suits you.”
Song Qinglan picked up two military knives first. Ji Yushi watched him strap it to his calves. He then watched him choose a pair of gloves, a pair of fist hooks and finally a shotgun. It was all in the order he had predicted.
“Shen Mian?” Ji Yushi spoke up.
Regardless of whether or not he was in the army before, it wasn’t surprising for someone to be able to recognise this famous killing weapon.
Song Qinglan, “Yes, it suits me.”
Before setting off, Song Qinglan suddenly turned around, “Weapons should be used when they need to be used. It is best that they don’t leave your side, but do you know what you should say if you are discovered by the original residents?”
Being looked at by those dark eyes, it was hard not to see the teasing inside.
It seemed to say: You don’t look like a policeman.
Ji Yushi finished his words, “Just say I am the police.”
Walking out of the forest, Ji Yushi discovered that this place was a park.
Along the way, they found a half-eaten corpse under the streetlamp which could explain the blood and the pieces of flesh on the drifter.
Despite the park being in the middle of the most prosperous part of the city, the park at five o’clock in the morning was deserted. Except for the garbage that blew around with the wind and the occasional blood stains on the road, not a living being was seen. There were also no signs of human life in the nearby tall buildings. The entire city was completely dead silent.
Under this eerie atmosphere, everyone lined up and advanced.
“Cap Song, eleven o’clock, park management office.”
As if he was worried about disturbing something, Ji Yushi suddenly spoke up with a suppressed voice.
Ji Yushi had been very quiet the entire time. Song Qinglan looked in the direction he had pointed out.
Ji Yushi wanted to add a line ‘There seemed to be lights inside’ but Song Qinglan spoke first and tilted his head, “Split up. Let’s go and see.”
The teammates scattered around.
Only two were left on the main road; Ji Yushi and Song Qinglan.
A gust of morning wind blew. A few strands of hair on Song Qinglan’s forehead fell loose and his sharp black eyes were slightly squinted.
Ji Yushi was a little nervous. That sense of déjà vu was getting stronger. Could it be that Song Qinglan also…..
He hoped it was the case.
But Song Qinglan went straight to the chase, “Advisor Ji, how is your psychological endurance?”
Ji Yushi: “……..”
His face suddenly turned pale and his heart rate sped up. Like he was seized by a nightmare and trapped inside, he found it difficult to move.
But, it wasn’t because Song Qinglan asked that question.
Ji Yushi’s external appearance was calm but no one knew that his palms had already turned sweaty. He heard himself answer, “It might not be so good.”
Why was this Captain Song who judged books by its cover suddenly starting to care about him?
Was this newcomer treatment?
Song Qinglan looked up at the high-rises in silence and then said, “Being trapped here like this, it’s hard to say how long it would take for us to go back. That one at your place might get worried but I hope you can adjust.”
Ji Yushi asked, “Cap Song, do you go out of your way to talk to every newcomer during a mission?”
Song Qinglan had no intentions to be polite, “No.”
So, it turned out to be a vaccination shot for the ‘flower vase’.
Ji Yushi: “……..I understand.”
Song Qinglan walked off.
Ji Yushi remained in place for a few seconds, waiting for the chill in his body to fade.
But at this moment, there were still countless noises in his ears. His heart felt like it was about to come out of his throat and for a while he found it difficult to calm down.
“Jian Jian, please wake up…..Do your best. Don’t be taken away by it.”
“Let’s not think about it! Let’s not think about it! Jian Jian, look here. These things are new, they have never appeared before. Come, take a look!”
“Ji Yushi, you failed both the image and psychological test this time. Your psychological test results were especially low, and each attempt was worse than the other!”
“Ji Yushi, get a hold of yourself! You must learn to deal with brain overload, or you are not far away from becoming mad!”
“Jian Jian, you have to be able to distinguish between memory and reality. Overlapping memories will not do you any good.”
………..
Park Management Office.
The last one to arrive was Ji Yushi.
Tang Le was reporting: “Cap Song! A corpse was found in the bathroom!”
Song Qinglan found a communicator and was fiddling with it. When he heard the report, he placed it down and went to the bathroom to check.
They turned the corpse over and amidst the rotting stench, Song Qinglan used his military knife to pry open the closed eyelids of the deceased —- The physical changes of this corpse were exactly the same as the drifter they had encountered in the forest. Everyone started to discuss about this, and no one noticed that Ji Yushi only glanced at the door before silently walking away.
His eyes scanned over the office. Ji Yushi ignored the messy tabletop, skipped the keys, newspaper, register books etc. and his eyes fell directly onto the communicator.
As if he was guided over, Ji Yushi opened a drawer and found a charger for the communicator inside.
The communicator could finally be turned on.
Ji Yushi only looked at it for a minute or two before suddenly putting it back down!
He quickly scanned the office and found a box of mineral water in the corner.
“What’s wrong?”
Song Qinglan and his teammates returned to the office and just happened to run into this scene.
Ji Yushi held a bottle of mineral water in his hands. His face was extremely pale, his dark eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes and his entire body was trembling slightly. He looked like he was enduring something.
Little did he know that appearance of his was like a porcelain vase that cannot withstand any hardships and would shatter with a single touch.
In front of everyone, Ji Yushi handed the mineral water to Song Qinglan with no psychological burden. His eyes were clear, “Cap Song, can you help me? I’m feeling a little uncomfortable.”
He seemed to be admitting his vulnerability.
A flower vase needs to be cared for.
Everyone: “………”
Fuck.
The grass on the grave of the last gay person who did this in front of Song Qinglan has probably started sprouting.
Cannot even unscrew a bottle cap, what kind of man is that?!
Unexpectedly, Song Qinglan just looked at him for a few seconds before unscrewing the lid and handing it back, “Did you find anything?”
Ji Yushi took a sip of water and swallowed a tablet.
“I found the communicator’s charging port in the drawer, and also a video.”
The author has something to say:
Ji (weak, cannot unscrew a bottle cap, killing machine) Yushi
Teammates: Damn, so he’s really here to seduce Cap Song and prove his charms?!!
