At this time, the boy was huddled in the corner, lowering his head and crying silently. He was surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition. Anyone who saw it would feel pity. It seemed as if these soldiers were oppressing children.
Although he didn't want to believe that the boy in front of him might be a murderer, at this moment, Sean still tensed up subconsciously.
"Did you ask anything?"
Victor looked at the people around him, and everyone shook their heads.
Seeing this, Victor couldn't help but look at Sean standing aside.
Sean had no choice but to step forward in person. He squatted down in front of the boy, but the boy subconsciously shrank in, as if he was afraid of everyone here.
"George, relax, no one here is going to hurt you."
Sean tried his best to make his smile sincere, "Can you tell me what happened last night? Don't worry, we don't mean to blame you, it's just... we are all very curious."
However, something unexpected happened to Sean. After seeing Sean, George suddenly screamed and shouted at the same time, "It was you, it was you who killed my parents and the people here." Everyone, that’s you!”
As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and in the end he even rolled his eyes and fainted...
Seeing this scene, Sean's heart suddenly sank. "It seems that his consciousness is still a little confused. We can't ask anything for the time being."
Victor on the side also frowned. He didn't say anything more, he just ordered everyone to take George away. Then he left this place to Sean.
"Can you use your powers now?"
Victor asked again, "It would be best if we could directly identify the murderer."
"I can try, but you have to leave first, because when my ability is activated, other people will be present and it will be disturbed."
Hearing this, Victor didn't say much. He turned around and left, closing the door for Sean.
Sean was the only one left in the room.
Seeing this, Sean no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and began to activate his power.
Suddenly, the sunlight in the room slowly dimmed, as if the window outside the window changed directly from day to night. At the same time, gray shadows seemed to appear on the ground. These shadows continued to squirm and twist in Sean's peripheral vision, but when Sean looked directly towards When you get to that position, you will find that it was all an illusion...
"Huh..."
A strange murmur began to appear in Sean's ear, as if someone was whispering in his ear, but no matter how he listened, he couldn't hear it clearly. By this time, the lights in the entire room had completely dimmed, and under the thick ink In the darkness, Sean seemed to see many people lying faintly on several beds in the room.
There were children, among whom George was prominently among them.
"Did you make it?"
Sean breathed a sigh of relief silently. While maintaining his strength, he slowly walked to the bed where George was. Through the sticky darkness, Sean seemed to see George on the bed frowning constantly and his lips slightly. The ground squirmed.
It was as if the child was falling into some kind of nightmare at this time.
The next second, thick mist suddenly floated in the room. These mist seemed to appear out of thin air, with a faint yellow color, and actually directly made the entire room bright.
"What's this?"
Sean looked around blankly. The dim yellow mist floated quietly in the room like a dream, even making the room lose the sense of distance, giving people the illusion of being in a vast world.
No, it's not an illusion...
Sean suddenly saw several figures walking slowly in the mist-filled distance. Because of the mist, he could only see the outlines of people in those shadows.
But unlike ordinary people, their movements when walking are a bit awkward. Strictly speaking, they are floating.
The figures were getting closer and closer, and gradually they could see their outlines clearly, but at this moment, Sean couldn't help but shrink his pupils, because he finally saw clearly that those figures were not human beings at all, but instead had spherical heads but no bodies. , there are only tentacles hanging down one by one!
monster!
Sean suppressed the horror in his heart, took two steps back, and then realized that these monsters were not real now, they were just images of himself going back.
There were three of these monsters in total. They floated out from the thick fog, and then stretched out their tentacles towards the nostrils of the children. The next second, under Sean's eyes, the bodies of those children shriveled up...
"So it turns out that these monsters are causing trouble?"
Sean looked angry and helpless. He wanted to stop it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he passed through the other party's phantom. Obviously, all this was just the scene he recalled last night.
After these three monsters sucked away all the children in the room, only George was left behind. Then they opened the door, turned around and walked towards the door...
"I see… "
At this point, Sean finally gave up the idea of continuing to look down. He put away his strength. Suddenly, the darkness and dense fog in the room dissipated, and the sunlight once again shone in from the window.
Feeling the long-lost sunshine, Sean quickly opened the door and came to the corridor, where Victor was standing beside him.
Seeing Sean appear, Victor looked at him in surprise, "You have a runny nose."
Sean was stunned. He stretched out his hand and touched it, but he only felt a string of mucus flowing out of his nostrils, and the mucus was still stained with a little blood. But he was too immersed in it just now, and he didn't notice the liquid flowing out of his nostrils.
"I thought it would bleed, but who knew it was just fluid?"
Sean frowned, but then he put it all behind him, "I have found out. It turns out that the murderer was not George at all, but his nightmare!"
"Nightmare?"
"Yes, I suspect that George is a special psychic!"
Sean vowed, "He has the ability to materialize dreams, but it's just because he can't control the emotions in his dreams that he loses control and kills every night!"
"Can't control the emotions in your dreams?"
Victor was a little strange, but then he thought about it and realized that Sean was referring to George's parents.
George originally had a complete family, but then his father was killed in a gun battle, so his mother found a stepfather with violent tendencies. At the same time, her attitude towards George also turned 180 degrees and became indifferent. .
Because of the indifference of his stepfather and mother, he killed them in his dream after awakening his psychic powers.
If this is the case, then everything makes sense, why the two abnormal events happened late at night, why the two abnormal events revolved around George, and why only George survived each time, while everyone else died...
"If this is the case, then Mr. Sean, you have solved this unusual incident."
Victor was slightly relieved in his heart, but he still had doubts, "Can you tell me what you saw after activating your ability?"
"I saw George's dream world..."
Sean immediately described, “His dreams were all about boundless fog, and deep in the fog there were several monsters that looked like humans and octopuses. These monsters could use their tentacles to enter through their nostrils and suck human flesh. Guts, that’s all I saw.”
"very good… "
Victor said with satisfaction, "Thank you for your cooperation. If there is still need, I will continue to contact you."
With that said, he wanted to turn around and leave.
"etc!"
Sean quickly stopped the other party. Seeing the other party's confused look, Sean gritted his teeth and asked immediately, "Can I ask, how are you going to deal with this child?"
"Don't worry, we won't kill him."
Victor replied, "We will use psychological counseling to guide his superpowers. Maybe we will also absorb him and make him one of us."
"That's good."
Sean was slightly relieved. After all, the other person was just a child. His childhood was unfortunate enough. It would be too tragic if he was treated as a test subject or a criminal because of this incident.
After a case was settled, Sean was about to say goodbye and leave. However, when he walked out of the orphanage, he was stopped by a member of the task force who rushed over and handed him a document.
"This document is a confidentiality agreement. If there is no problem, just sign it."
The members of the task force reminded, "After signing, you cannot disclose the information about the Black Light Foundation and this abnormal incident. If you disclose it, we will send you to the Federal Secret Service Trial Court, and you may face ten years." Punishment of imprisonment or even death.”
Sean frowned. He opened the contract and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I don't sign?"
"If you don't sign, we will assume that you do not agree to the confidentiality regulations on the document."
The task force member replied, "Then in order to prevent you from leaking secrets, we will perform amnestic deletion on you. By then, you will forget everything that happened during the day."
"delete memory?"
Sean was shocked, and then said coldly, "Aren't you violating human rights?"
"Sorry, it's confidential and we have to do this."
The members of the task force were neither humble nor overbearing.
Seeing this, Sean had no choice but to suppress his inner anger, signed his name on the last page, and then handed it to the other party with an expressionless face. If anyone who is familiar with Sean saw it, they would understand what Xiao was doing at this time. En is already angry.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The task force members saluted each other, then turned and left.
Sean suppressed his anger and left the blocked street and returned to the police station. It was not until he was welcomed by his colleagues that Sean's anger calmed down.
…
In the evening, Sean returned home and gradually fell into deep thought.
There were two things he was thinking about. One of them was that he met the group of people who called themselves the Black Light Foundation during the day. This group of people was mysterious but had extremely high authority. Even the local police station could not interfere with their judgment. case, and the word blacklight also reminded Sean of the name "Blackwatch Company".
"Could it be that the rumors are true, that Blackwatch Company has reached a level where it is on par with the four continents, and even this foundation, which is specially designed to deal with abnormal events, is led by Blackwatch Company?"
After thinking for a while, Sean couldn't help but shake his head. He just came back to his senses, but fell into deep thought again when he looked at the food prepared in front of the table.
I haven't eaten for two days and one night.
The food was clearly on the table, but Sean found that he had no appetite and didn't even want to drink a sip of water.
Sean knew that something was wrong. It was okay for the human body to lose appetite for a day or two, but it was impossible not to need water.
However, even if I force myself to drink it, I will still spit it out again, as if my body is full and there is no room for even a glass of water...
"what is going on?"
Sean was a little confused, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why, so he had to call his boss and tell him that he needed to take a day off tomorrow to go to the hospital for a check-up.
After making the call, it was night time, so Sean stopped thinking and went back to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Sean was woken up by a knock on the door. The knock was extremely rough, as if a group of people were kicking in the door. Sean was very angry when he heard it.
He had no choice but to get out of bed immediately, walk through the living room to the door, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Who is it?"
However, the door was still knocked, and no one answered.
Seeing this, Sean suddenly became a little wary. He looked outside through the peephole, but only saw three or four soldiers wearing black combat uniforms standing outside the door. This outfit was very familiar to him. They were the same soldiers who were dispatched yesterday. That group of people.
Seeing this, Sean opened the door and asked the other party in a cold tone, "Why are you here again? Didn't I sign a so-called confidentiality agreement?"
"Mr. Shawn."
The leader saluted Sean, then took out a document and said, "We are the third task force of the Black Light Foundation. In view of your special psychic ability, we have learned about our foundation. exists, so we would like to second you to help us investigate an unusual incident. This is the secondment letter."
Sean took the document and saw that it had the red seal of his police department and the red seal of the state of Michigan.
Good guy, in order to second me, I even had a seal from the state police department...
Sean secretly marveled at the other party's authority and efficient speed, but he felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Didn't I already solve the abnormal incident yesterday? Is there a new abnormal incident?"
"You are talking about the unusual incident investigated by Task Force 5 yesterday."
The person in front of him was wearing a helmet, and Sean couldn't see his face. He only heard the other person say indifferently, "Unfortunately, this abnormal incident has been transferred to our third task force for investigation."
"Why?"
Sean was even more surprised. He was originally from the police department, so he naturally understood that unless he applied for it, a case would not be transferred to another person. No matter how special this foundation was, it would not violate this basic rule. After all, it’s about morale.
"Because just last night, the fifth task force was wiped out."
