"Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean?"
In a daze, Sean heard someone calling him.
He slowly opened his eyes, and then he saw several police officers and a group of medical staff in white standing in front of him. They suddenly looked happy when they saw that he woke up.
"I am..."
Sean endured his dizziness, covered his forehead and sat up. Only then did he realize that he had passed out without knowing when, and he had been pulled to the hospital bed.
"You just passed out at the murder scene."
The police sergeant who followed him before stepped forward and said diligently, "Is it because you overused your psychic powers? If so, it doesn't matter. We can wait for you to recover before continuing to investigate the case."
Sean nodded and turned to look at the doctor beside him, "Is there anything wrong with my body?"
"After preliminary inspection, we found no problem. It should be caused by excessive fatigue."
The doctor also replied, "If you are worried, we can give you a comprehensive examination."
"That's not necessary."
Sean waved his hand and declined the other party's kindness.
Immediately, several police chiefs spoke to Sean again. Seeing that Sean was still not energetic, they found an excuse and left.
After everyone left completely, Sean lay back on the hospital bed tiredly.
This is an intensive care unit. The whole room is clean, bright and spacious, and there is only one hospital bed in the whole room. Obviously this environment is already considered a high-end ward in Detroit, but Sean didn't care about it. He began to try to remember what happened before. What exactly did he see at the crime scene
"I only remember that before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see two people..."
Sean frowned and thought, "They just stood there quietly and seemed to be looking at me, but how is this possible... Could it be some kind of super power that restrains me?"
After thinking for a while, Sean turned his head to look at the bedside table, and saw a blue folder there. He took it out and opened it in confusion, only to find that it turned out to be the autopsy report of the case.
After seeing the contents of the report, Sean's pupils shrank slightly.
Sure enough, all the internal organs in the bodies of the two deceased people had disappeared, and disappeared completely, including the heart, spleen, and lungs. Not only that, even the blood of the corpses had basically disappeared. It became an empty skin.
"Is this really something superpowers can do?"
Sean fell into deep thought...
The day passed quickly, but Sean, who was lying on the hospital bed, found that although a whole day had passed, he was not hungry at all. Even if someone brought him food, he still had no appetite.
He only drank a sip of water all day, and then vomited it because of the feeling of fullness in his stomach.
Regarding this physical abnormality, Sean only thought it was a side effect of excessive consumption of spiritual energy, and didn't take it to heart.
In the early morning of the next day, Sean quietly left the hospital, called the Detroit police station, and then drove towards an orphanage.
However, when the vehicle arrived at the street where the orphanage was located, he suddenly saw that the entire street had been blocked off.
At the intersection of the street, several police cars were jammed at the intersection, and the road was completely blocked by warning tape. At the same time, a group of people could be seen gathering beside the road, making a lot of noise.
what happened
Sean stepped forward in confusion, pushed aside the crowd, and then saw several police officers surrounded by the crowd.
"Sir, this street has been blocked due to a gas pipeline leak."
Seeing Sean approaching, one of the policemen immediately stepped forward and said, "If you are going to work, please take a detour."
"No, I'm Detective Sean."
Sean took out his ID and handed it to the other party. When he confirmed that the ID was correct, the policeman calmed down and moved out of the way, "In that case, you can go in."
As he said that, he lifted up the warning tape that was half a person's height and let Sean get through.
Entering the inside of this street, Sean immediately walked towards the address of the welfare home provided. Along the way, he saw several police officers blocking other intersections, and he could also see ambulances passing by him. drive by.
Seeing this posture, Sean couldn't help but feel a little confused. This situation didn't look like a gas pipeline leaking at all...
Thinking of this, the image of the black boy flashed through Sean's mind again. Could it be that all of this has something to do with him
When he finally arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, Sean was once again surprised to find that several vehicles with the Earth Federation logo had stopped at the gate. However, they were somewhat different from the Earth Federation logo. Originally, the Earth Federation logo was two sticks. The ears of wheat surround the pattern of an earth, and although this logo is the same, the overall color is red instead of the green color of the Earth Federation logo.
At the same time, there is a line of words under the logo: Federal Secret Service.
"What department is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Sean walked forward with some doubts, but before reaching these vehicles, he was immediately stopped by several men wearing white protective clothing.
"Sir, the Federal Secret Service is on business, please leave."
"I am an employee of the local police station. I am here to check on a boy named George. He is related to a murder case yesterday."
Sean replied somewhat forcefully, because he knew that the Earth Federation may have a strong deterrent effect on ordinary countries and third world countries, but it is completely useless to the four continents standing on the top of the world, let alone This is the most powerful North American region among the four continents.
You know, even the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is known as the most powerful department in the Earth Federation, has its own branch in North America, and they do not listen to the orders of the Earth Federation.
However, this time he thought differently. The man in protective clothing who intercepted him still stood in front of him, "We can't let anyone in without orders from our superiors. Mr. Police Officer, please cooperate with us."
Sean frowned immediately. He took out his mobile phone again and called the bureau. But to his surprise, the caller told him not to interfere with the work of the Federal Secret Service. If he had any questions, he could contact the case. person in charge.
Seeing this, Sean was still a little unconvinced. He called the police sergeant yesterday again. This time, the police sergeant just asked him to wait. Soon Sean saw the other party running over from the other side of the street. .
"Mr. Sheriff, where did you go just now?"
Sean looked at the panting Sheriff and asked a little strangely.
“I set up intercept points over there on the street.”
The sergeant gasped, "Mr. Sean, an order has been issued from above, asking us to do our best to cooperate with the work of the Federal Secret Service. I heard that this is an order passed down by the state government department, so there is nothing I can do."
"What is it, an order from the governor?"
Sean looked even more shocked, "What happened in the orphanage? Why was it blocked?"
"It seems that it is still related to the boy named George yesterday..."
The police chief looked at him seriously, "I heard that just last night, everyone in the orphanage died, including caregivers and children, and the death conditions were the same as those of the deceased in our case yesterday... "
"What?"
Sean couldn't help but exclaimed. He looked at the other party in disbelief, as if he wanted to see if the other party was joking with him, but he was soon disappointed. The other party's serious look told him that everything was the same. real…
"More than a hundred people died overnight, including 83 children and 15 nursing staff, in addition to the director of the welfare home."
The Sheriff continued, "All this was discovered early this morning, but before we could deal with the scene, these guys from the Federal Secret Service came and forcefully drove us out... "
Sean took a deep breath after hearing this. He seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "So, the survivor named George, is he... still alive?"
"Alive."
The police chief looked at Sean steadily, "It's strange that the boy named George is still alive. He is still the only survivor."
Hearing the Sheriff's words, Sean felt a cold feeling rising from his heart. He couldn't help but look at the door of the orphanage and murmured in a low voice, "Could it be that the murderer of the case is really him? He is A psyker?"
"That's not clear, but it has nothing to do with us. After all, full power has been handed over to the superiors."
The Sheriff sighed and said, "Mr. Sean, you don't have to worry about this. Our work will be done when the Federal Secret Service leaves."
After saying this, the Sheriff turned and left, leaving Sean standing quietly. He looked at the door of the orphanage unwillingly, as if he wanted to see if he could find a way to get in.
At this moment, the door of the orphanage was opened again. This time, Sean saw several people dressed in different costumes. These people were wearing an unprecedented combat uniform. They were all dark, like black tights. The clothes were the same, and they wore the same style of tactical helmets on their heads, so it was impossible to see their appearance clearly.
"Mr. Sean?"
One of the people actually came forward and called Sean's name.
"I am... who are you?"
Sean perked up and answered immediately.
"I am the captain of the fifth task force of the Black Light Foundation. I am responsible for this abnormal event. You can call me Victor."
This person took off the helmet on his head, revealing a face with a standard Anglo appearance.
"Blacklight Foundation? Abnormal event?"
Sean suddenly became confused. He observed the other party carefully, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"The Black Light Foundation is an organization jointly established by four continents. It is responsible for dealing with events caused by certain psychics, or more difficult events that even violate the laws of nature. Such events are collectively referred to as 'abnormal events', and the Federal Secret Service It’s our logistics department.”
The man named Victor stretched out his hand and said calmly, "I heard from the people below that you are the most famous psychic in the Detroit Police Department. Can you view the images of the crime scene a few hours ago?"
"Yes, this is my superpower. Although it does not have the combat power of other psychics, it is still good for solving cases."
Sean shook hands with the other party.
"very nice."
Victor's eyes lit up, "In that case, you have been recruited by us these days. Now come in with me and let's go to the crime scene."
With that said, he turned around and walked in.
After hearing what the other party said, Sean frowned slightly. Although the other party's words were quite polite, there was an undoubted commanding flavor in them.
He originally wanted to refuse. After all, this was not in accordance with the procedure, and the other party had no right to order him unless he first communicated with his superiors to second him.
However, the other party's words just now revealed a lot of great things, and he was also very curious about the case, so after thinking about it, he finally followed it.
This time, several people wearing protective suits at the door did not stop him again.
As soon as he entered the door of the orphanage, Sean's expression immediately changed, because he sensed a strange smell again. This smell was nothing but the smell of sulfur.
"Did you feel it?"
Victor, who was waiting for him, smiled immediately after seeing Sean's expression, "What does this smell like?"
"It's brimstone."
Sean nodded, and then asked in surprise, "Can you smell it too?"
"This is not a smell, but..."
Victor pointed to his head, "This is what my spirit tells me."
"Are you a psyker too?"
Sean was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly had some guesses about the personnel of this so-called Black Light Foundation.
"The Foundation has a dedicated psyker task force."
Victor nodded, "It's just that we were not sent this time. Instead, our fifth task force took over this abnormal incident. There are only three psykers in our fifth task force, including me. and two vice-captains, and the rest are ordinary people.”
"Why not send a dedicated task force of psykers?"
Sean felt a little strange when he heard this, "It stands to reason that cases like this caused by psykers should be solved by psyker troops, right?"
What he originally wanted to say was that for ordinary people to participate in the case of psychics, wouldn't it mean to die? But when the words came to his lips, he changed his words again.
"That's because under certain conditions, the combat effectiveness of our ordinary task force may not be inferior to that of psykers..."
Victor smiled mysteriously, but did not explain. Instead, he took the lead and walked forward, "Mr. Sean, I heard that you passed out while exploring the site yesterday. Can you tell me what you saw when you used your psychic powers? ?"
Sean frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party would get all his information so quickly, and even know about his coma, so he had to say, "I don't remember. Yesterday's image review seemed a bit difficult. I haven't seen it yet." I had no time to restore the scene, but I passed out due to the loss of spiritual energy, so I suspect that the murderer has some kind of spiritual energy that can restrain my ability."
Victor nodded after hearing this, and the two of them came to the corridor of the inner hall of the welfare home. As Sean passed through the doors, he saw only two or three men in protective suits doing dissections in each room. The corpse was flanked by several combatants also wearing black combat uniforms and holding pulse rifles.
As for those corpses, Sean felt a little heartbroken. After all, the deceased were all teenage children...
Soon, the two came to the end of the corridor. When they came to the door, Sean suddenly heard a low sobbing sound. The sound came from the closed door in front of him. It seemed to be a boy's. sound.
Victor didn't stop, he opened the door directly. Sean behind him immediately saw that seven or eight combatants were standing in the room, and in the center of the room they were surrounding, there was an eight or nine-year-old black man. boy.
The moment he saw the boy, Sean immediately recognized him. The seemingly harmless boy in front of him was the protagonist of this trip... George, the suspect in two consecutive psyker murders.
