Chapter 198: You Can See Me

Fu Huo did his best to save the people from the east city investigation centre. They formed the fourth defensive line at the edge of the east city. The headquarters had been notified that the anomaly at Han De Private School had spiralled out of control. After knowing Situ An had disappeared, many parties pulled their people back.

“Set up the roadblocks! Seal the roads! Stop all the vehicles! Inspect everyone! Do not let anyone go!” The scapegoats from the school could possess anyone. The investigation centre knew how dangerous they were. They tried to limit the scope of the disaster to the commercial centre of the east city.

“Move! We’re from the east city investigation centre!”josei

“Stop for inspection!”

“He’s the leader of the security department from Xin Lu. Are you blind?”

“Stop right now!”

The black barrels were aimed at the investigators who wanted to barge into the east city. Situ An’s original underlings, who now were led by Zuo Jun, had no choice but to give up in the end. Situ An was missing, and they had become the focus of all the parties.

“You will be quarantined in groups of three! Doctors! Get the doctors here!” The people at the fourth defensive line detained Zuo Jun and his team. Even Fu Huo was invited into the car.

“What is Han Hai Investigation Centre Headquarters planning?” Fu Huo sat next to the medical device. He punched the wall of the car. “These are all metal plates. This car is used to transport criminals.”

“The headquarters didn’t give the order to retreat, but you told the investigators to leave.” Zuo Jun’s brain spun. Situ An appeared to be dead, and no one could protect him anymore. This was a giant danger for him but also a great opportunity. When Situ An was still around, he could only serve Situ An. Now, he could stand up and even aim higher.

As if worried that accidents might happen, the car stopped, and they were told to get out before long.

“Hand over your weapons and communication devices. Before we can ensure you haven’t been possessed, you will stay in this sick bay. We will have people come to conduct the tests on you soon.” The guards’ tone was cold as they trained their weapons on them. This pissed Fu Huo off.

“I finally had a good look at Han Hai Headquarters. You can’t do anything to ghosts, but you have all kinds of treatments for humans.” Fu Huo sat on the bed. His wounds were worsening.

“Stop talking.” Zuo Jun’s face darkened. “Your injuries are so serious, but the headquarters aren’t even sending you the best aid. This means that the headquarters is already considering silencing you.”

“Do they dare?”

“This is not Xin Lu. It’s normal for you to die at Han De Private School.” Zuo Jun moved around the room despite his pain. Soon, Yuan Hui and a few seniors at the east city investigation centre were moved there as well.

After everyone was there, the lights suddenly went out. A blurry projection appeared on the wall before them. The static sound entered their ears. They could hear people screaming in the background. Everyone saw a pair of hands in white gloves land on the table.

“You have three minutes to remember who was around Situ An when he disappeared. Do not miss anything.” A robotic voice said. The people in the room looked at each other with confusion. The anomaly had gone out of control. Instead of asking about the school, the headquarters cared more about Situ An’s location?!

“The chief fought with the ghosts inside the school until the last moment. He never wanted to give up.” Zuo Jun dragged his injured body to stand before the projection. “The ghosts surrounded the office building and took down the walls, causing the anomaly to go out of control. The chief fought at the frontline and eventually disappeared at the first defensive line where the fighting was the most intense.” Zuo Jun knew his way around words. He effectively pushed all the blame onto Situ An. Situ An disappeared when he tried to escape was the meaning behind his words.

“Who among you is closest to Situ An?” The white gloves asked. No one spoke. After some time, Zuo Jun raised his head. “It’s me.”

“Describe in detail what happened back then.”

“The security team from Xin Lu died. The perfect Red Spectre appeared. The chief stood behind the Red Spectre and fought the three strongest big ghosts at the school. They are the art teacher from the taboo classroom, the old headmistress, Yan Xizhi, and You Liang from the underground lab.” Zuo Jun thought about it. “I believe someone was chasing after the chief too.”

“Who?”

“My high-school friend, Wang Jie. His first uncle is the chief of the west port investigation centre, Wang Lan. His grandfather is with the Han Hai Merchant Association. His second uncle is from the port court. His father often goes overseas. I believe he’s with Deep Space Tech.” Zuo Jun excluded Xi San and continued, “There are two more of my high-school friends. One is Liu Yi. Her family background is simple. She is a lawyer who serves the deaf and mute. The other is Gao Ming. He was Hen Shan Penitentiary’s psychiatrist, but he was fired not too long ago for failing his psyche test.”

“They are all your friends from high school?! Why are they in this anomaly?”

“One of the ghosts in this anomaly is our friend from ten years ago. He invited everyone from Class 13 to the school. The ghost’s name is Gao Yun. Before the chief disappeared, he was chasing after the chief too.” Zuo Jun had followed Situ An for some time. He learned many things from Situ An, like saying half of the truths.

The white gloves folded together like the owner was thinking. Moments later, the robotic voice said, “Situ An’s disappearance influences many things. I hope you can keep this from the public. Now, I have a few questions for you. How many people are trapped at Han De Private School, and how many have been replaced by the scapegoats?”

“Around 400…”

He was interrupted by the serious Zuo Jun, “4534 people.”

The number shocked everyone in the room. Zuo Jun had no choice but to agree with it. Situ An had disappeared. Zuo Jun wouldn’t fall for his crimes. Therefore, Zuo Jun added everyone who was harmed by Situ An to the number of victims. Since the school had gone out of control, everyone could be considered to be killed by ghosts, and it had nothing to do with him. The questioning in the sick bay continued. Han Hai changed tremendously in these few hours.

…

Cai Meimei ran back to her home in the east countryside in fear. The experience for the past few days almost drove her nuts. She kicked off her shoes and crawled into her bed. Her body trembled, and her face was pale. “I’m out. I’m finally out of there. The ghosts on the bus probably didn’t follow me home.”

Her body was shivering under the flimsy blanket. The security cameras in Cai Meimei’s home suddenly moved on their own. The cameras slowly moved towards the bed, like there were perverts behind them.

“I didn’t see the scapegoats get down the bus. They should still be on the bus with the other students!” Cai Meimei vomited due to fear. She patted her chest as she sat up in bed. She tossed her wet clothes away. Her clothes dropped to the ground one after another. The cameras all looked at her exposed body. When she was almost naked, Cai Meimei’s arm suddenly bent to a strange angle. Someone was strangling her from behind.

“Impossible! The ghosts are on the bus! They didn’t follow me out of the bus!”

Bloody scars appeared on her fair back. The faces of the students from Han De Private School appeared on her back. Her body was twisted in a scary angle.

“I didn’t see anyone get down the bus with me!”

Cai Meimei’s body bent like a pretzel as the human faces screamed on her body. There were so many scapegoats inside her body that wanted to take over.

“Save me! Save me!”

Cai Meimei suddenly snapped her neck and crawled towards the camera like a human centipede.

“I know you can see me! You saw me!”
