The purpose of pretending to be faint is to delay time, and to delay time is to come up with a reasonable explanation. But some things have no reasonable explanation at all, and the result will be the same no matter how long it takes.
Even if he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, Wu Dongfang didn't open his eyes. The investigators kept guarding outside the ward, which showed that they took this matter very seriously, and they might be taken away if it was not handled properly. Once you are taken away by them, you will immediately lose your personal freedom, and it will be even more difficult to escape.
If you want to avoid being taken away, you must show a cooperative attitude, stabilize the opponent first, and then look for opportunities to leave here.
After the little nurse chased the three people away, she also left. A few minutes later, the door was reopened, and several people came in. Based on the voices, they could be judged to be several doctors.
After the doctor arrived, he began to examine him. During the doctor's examination, Wu Dongfang opened his eyes. These guys were going to do an electrocardiogram and an electroencephalogram on him. As long as they connected these instruments, they could determine based on the electroencephalogram. He was pretending to be faint.
Seeing that Wu Dongfang woke up again, the doctor came over and had a simple conversation with him, first asking his name to judge whether he was conscious or not. Then he raised his finger to test his vision and nerve response. After confirming that he was fine, he ordered the nurse to provide him with drinking water according to his request. The drinking water was not clean water, but medical salt water, which was very difficult to drink.
"Someone outside the door wants to ask you about the situation. Can you accept the inquiry?" The doctor is still very professional.
Wu Dongfang nodded.
The doctor went out, told the investigators waiting outside the door about his situation, and set a time limit of no more than fifteen minutes for questioning.
The two entered the door, chased away the nurse, closed the door, pulled two chairs and sat beside his bed.
"Comrade Lieutenant, we are from the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau of the United Front Work Department. Here are our IDs." The two showed their IDs to Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang nodded. The United Front Work Department had a department specifically responsible for religious affairs, which was responsible for religious work across the country. Their arrival showed that the superiors had characterized his matter as a religious one.
"We have been assigned by our superiors to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." The person who spoke was a thin middle-aged man, and the other person was in his early thirties. It looked like he was this person's subordinate or assistant.
Wu Dongfang nodded again.
"Due to time constraints, we will omit some unnecessary questions and only talk about the key points. Comrade Lieutenant, may I ask if you have encountered any unusual things during your mission?" the middle-aged man asked.
"What do you mean by unusual?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to the young man next to him. The young man put down the video equipment and took out a document bag from the document bag and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man opened the document bag and took out something from it. A stack of photos were shown to Wu Dongfang one by one.
These photos can be roughly divided into three categories. One category is his cut hair, and the length of the hair has precise measurement data. The second category is the scene of cutting copper pillars, copper scraps on the ground. The third category is the photo of his chest. It can be vaguely seen that there is a white tiger tattoo, but the white tiger tattoo at this time has no color, and the dye belonging to the Xia Dynasty has disappeared.
After the other party finished showing it, Wu Dongfang did not answer immediately. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at the young man holding a small video equipment.
"Xiao Liu, turn it off." The middle-aged man whispered.
There is a reason why officials don't like novices. When the young man heard this, he did not immediately carry out the order. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man in embarrassment and said, "Director Hu, this is not in accordance with the procedures."
The middle-aged man named Hu had a better temper than Wu Dongfang and did not get angry. "Do you want to hear the truth or go through the procedures?"
The young man hesitated and turned off the camera.
"Say it." Director Hu raised his hand.
"What will be the consequences if I tell the truth?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Director Hu smiled, waved his hand and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that no matter what you say, we will not send you to a mental hospital."
"Hahaha." Wu Dongfang laughed loudly, his laughter hurt his wounds, and he frowned to stop.
"Don't doubt our understanding and acceptance. We have dealt with a lot of weird and bizarre things, and we have also seen a lot of supernatural phenomena." Director Hu said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "You should already know what happened during the mission. I won't tell you. I fell off a cliff while chasing a drug dealer. In the process of falling, I traveled through time and space to four thousand years ago. , I lived there for a period of time, and twelve years later I returned to modern times, and the time I returned to modern times happened to be when I fell off the cliff. From the perspective of people in this time and space, I had never left. In fact, I’ve been gone for twelve years.”
"Four thousand years ago?" Director Hu frowned slightly.
Wu Dongfang nodded, "Yes."
"Are you sure you remember correctly?" The young man interjected.
"OK." Wu Dongfang nodded again.
The young man still wanted to speak, but Director Hu raised his hand to stop him. The latter smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for him to continue.
"I came back this time to do something very important. The bronze pillar I destroyed recorded the hiding places of several of my comrades who fought side by side in the Xia Dynasty. They are in a dormant state at this time and need to I went to find and wake them up," Wu Dongfang said.
"Why did you destroy that copper pillar?" Director Hu asked.
Wu Dongfang replied, "Because I lost too much blood, I could not write down the contents on the copper pillar before I fainted. Once I fainted, the contents on the copper pillar would be seen by others. Once others know who I am, Wherever our comrades are hiding, we can find and harm them.”
Director Hu nodded.
"As for the tattoo on my chest, it was also left in the Xia Dynasty. After I returned to modern times, the dye belonging to the Xia Dynasty disappeared, leaving only traces of the tattoo itself." After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, he picked up the straw and drank. A few sips of salt water.
"You just said that those dormant people were your comrades. Were you a soldier in that era?" Director Hu asked.
Wu Dongfang shook his head, "No, I am a wizard."
"Is the wizard a Taoist priest today?" Director Hu asked.
"There were no Taoist priests in the era I lived in. Wizards were the predecessors of Taoist priests." Wu Dongfang nodded.
"How many other people are also wizards?" Director Hu touched his pocket.
"Yes," Wu Dongfang nodded, "If you have a cigarette, give me one."
"You are injured, and since this is a ward, it's better not to take any pain." Director Hu shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter, give me one." Wu Dongfang asked again.
Director Hu hesitated for a moment, took out a cigarette, handed one to Wu Dongfang, and lit it for him with a lighter.
"Thank you." Wu Dongfang took a deep breath, raised his right hand and clamped the cigarette.
"You're welcome. You can rest in peace. We are going back first. After you recover from your injuries, we may go to your unit to learn more about the details." Director Hu stood up.
Wu Dongfang nodded, Director Hu waved his hand to Xiao Liu, and the two went out to leave.
After the two left, the squadron leader pushed open the door and asked, "What did they ask and why did they leave so quickly?"
"I asked a few questions. I am injured now. They will go to the army to find me after I am discharged from the hospital." Wu Dongfang said.
"You're still smoking, you're going to die." The squadron leader snatched the cigarette from his hand, walked to the window, opened it, and threw it away.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Two days." The squadron leader came back, took an apple from the bedside table, and helped him peel it.
"I can't eat this now. Go and ask the nurse to give me some nutritional solution. I'm exhausted." Wu Dongfang said. He is the deputy squadron leader. Although he and the captain are superiors and subordinates, they have a good personal relationship and speak quite casually. .
"Why do you need so much energy? Just keep it up slowly," the squadron leader peeled the apple and began to scold, "Why are you trying to compete with Zhang Zhi? What does he know as a new recruit? You should be lucky that he didn't blast him with that shot. On your forehead..."
"Why are you here?" Wu Dongfang interrupted the squadron leader.
"I'm here to serve our fighting hero. You are an incredible hero. All heroes have entered other people's territory. A good slap of the ribs made you taste like pig shit. Now everyone above knows that you have crossed the line. You said you How do you report this achievement?" The squadron leader handed over the peeled apple.
Wu Dongfang looked at the squadron leader and did not take the apple from his hand. In the squadron leader's opinion, he had only been away for a few days. In fact, he had been away for twelve years. Looking at the squadron leader now, he felt both familiar and strange.
"You think I didn't peel it well?" The squadron leader pushed the apple to Wu Dongfang, "Come, tell me, what happened when you were on your mission?"
"Let's talk about it later, I'm so sleepy." Wu Dongfang yawned.
"Okay, you go get some sleep first. I asked for leave today and am here to take care of you. The instructor will come over tomorrow," the squadron leader said.
"Just send a soldier over," Wu Dongfang said casually, "By the way, do me a favor. There is a yellow box in the drawer of my combat cabinet. Please get it for me."
"I'll make a call and ask them to send it over," the squadron leader said.
"No," Wu Dongfang shook his head repeatedly, "Don't bother yourself and go there in person. That thing is very important to me."
"What, mysterious?" the squadron leader asked doubtfully.
"Someone mailed something to me anonymously. I have never figured out its use. Go and get it back for me. Now that you are free, I will take the opportunity to study it." Wu Dongfang urged.
"Okay, I'll go back. Your phone is here. If you need anything, call me." The squadron leader pointed to the bedside table.
Wu Dongfang nodded.
The squadron leader gave a few more instructions and then went out.
After the squadron leader went out, Wu Dongfang's expression became very serious. He deliberately drove away the squadron leader. The two investigators had lied to him before. In fact, they were not satisfied with his answer and wanted to impose restrictions. measures, otherwise they would not have asked him and his dormant comrades what they wanted to do. The so-called waiting for him to go to the army to ask after he recovered from his injuries was just a delaying measure. The purpose was to stabilize him and go back to report and study. It won't be long before they come to arrest him.
In fact, what he said before was all the truth. As for why the other party was dissatisfied, he didn't know, but one thing was certain, that is, the situation he said was different from what the other party knew, so the other party suspected that he was lying.
Seeing the squadron leader driving away at the window, Wu Dongfang got off the ground in a hospital gown, found his change of clothes and wallet from the bedside table, packed the change of clothes in a convenient fruit bag, and walked away with his wallet and mobile phone. Out of the ward.
After changing into a hospital gown in the bathroom on the first floor, Wu Dongfang walked out of the door in casual clothes. The hospital is a place where money is spent. There is an ATM at the entrance of the hospital. After withdrawing some cash from the ATM, he took a taxi directly to the post office. I mailed the wallet back to the army, and a piece of paper was included in the package, "I haven't taken my vacation this year yet. From today on, it will be counted as my vacation."
After mailing away his wallet, Wu Dongfang took a taxi to the train station. However, he did not buy a ticket. Instead, he went to the platform. When a coal train passed by, he threw his mobile phone into the open car. When he fled, he had two items that were absolutely necessary. You can’t bring it with you. First, you need your ID card. You can buy tickets for accommodation through the national network. The second is mobile phones. Mobile phone signals can be used for global positioning.
After doing this, Wu Dongfang went to the logistics center. There are trucks here that go to all parts of the country. Taking trucks is safer than taking buses.
Surveillance cameras are very annoying things, and they are also found in the logistics center. He did not dare to go in, so he could only wait outside. He did not dare to directly stop the truck going to Yunnan, but caught a truck going to another province.
Trucks usually travel at night and are easily punished during the day. Wu Dongfang was injured and had a hard time. Fortunately, long-distance trucks have places to eat and stay. When they got there, Wu Dongfang got off the truck.
There are girls in places like this that provide food and accommodation for long-distance trucks. Wu Dongfang also called one. He saw many blackbirds and phoenixes. Naturally, he didn't like gray-headed crows, but someone had to buy gauze and disinfectant for him. .
After staying here for a day, I waited for the truck to go to Yunnan, but there was no room in the cab, so I had to sit in the carriage. After finally making it to Yunnan, Wu Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief and got on the bus to the border city. There is also surveillance on the ground, but at this time he has left the danger area, and even if someone adjusts the surveillance, he cannot adjust it here.
After seven days of turbulence, Wu Dongfang finally arrived at the China-Myanmar border, which was only two to three hundred miles away from the area where he performed his mission that day.
But he was not in a good mood at this time. The reason was that he had tried to practice Qi in the past few days. He didn't know whether there was something wrong with the Qi training method or because the spiritual energy in the outside world had become extremely scarce at this time. The progress of Qi training was extremely slow. It's too mysterious. Even if you are in junior high school, you will probably have to practice for three years.
At this time, his injuries were mostly healed. In order to recharge his batteries, he decided to stay in a better hotel. However, it was difficult to deal with the ID card, but it was not impossible to deal with it. The driver's license can also be used for accommodation, and many drivers have The habit of keeping your driver's license in your car. As for the hotel, as long as you have a certificate to register, no one cares about it.
After staying in the hotel for three days, Wu Dongfang adjusted himself and entered Myanmar with dry food. When he left, he told Ming Yue that the clues should be placed in the boulders and somewhere on the ground on the top of the cliff. To ensure that if one is lost, the other one can be found, which is why he dared to grind away the copper pillar clues before...
