In the early morning, a ray of bright sunshine shed on the blue hospital bed one by one through the gaps of the blinds. It was kind and warm, making people feel very comfortable and not wanting to open their eyes.
Jacob took a lot of effort to lift up his eyelids. Facing the sunlight outside the window, he felt like it was as unreal as if he had had a dream.
“Why am I here?”
He was surprised to find that he was in that small town hospital again. On the blue hospital bed, Jerry and Seina, his parents, were sitting on the side with their heads resting on their heads, dozing with a tired face.
Jacob turned his head, his eyes confused, remembering that he should be in Emily’s villa in the end, why did he return to the hospital?
What happened yesterday, was it a dream, or?
“Oh, dear, you finally woke up, do you know how much your dad and I were worried about you? Thank God, you were not hurt…”
Jacob’s mother, Seina, was not a typical housewife. She had a good job and salary in a large trading company, and she looked very capable. However, although she was still dressed like a professional woman at the moment, she still couldn’t help but begin to nag at Jacob non-stop like a mother, after discovering that Jacob had woken up.
After a night of “killing”, Chu Yunsheng could barely “hear” some content through the cube in the zero-dimensional space after using the method provided by the guardian. It was very strange. Having sneaked out of the hospital and being involved in a “murder case” last night, the trouble Jacob had caused last night was not small at all. However, as a mother, Jacob’s mother not only didn’t scold him, but she consoled him, telling him not to think too much about it. It was already very fortunate that he was not injured.
After doing a lot of psychological work, Jacob’s father, Jerry, a tall middle-aged man, winked at his wife in secret, patted Jacob’s hand, gave a few words of comfort, and walked out of the ward.
After he went out, a few whispering murmurs came from outside the door. Seina showed Jacob a warm motherly smile and said in a normal tone: “Jacob, Officer Lentz wanted to know a little about what happened last night. Your father and I have agreed to the request, but if you don’t feel good now, we can postpone it.”
“I–” Jacob was speechless. He knew the first half of what happened last night. Only Chu Yunsheng knew about the second half. How was he going to tell the police officer?
“Don’t be nervous, just say that you passed out at the time, and you didn’t know anything about what happened afterward. I have taken care of everything. Emily is still alive, so don’t tell them anything!” Chu Yunsheng ‘showed up’ in time and instructed Jacob what to do.
“Okay.” As soon as Jacob heard Chu Yunsheng’s voice, he was sure that it was not a dream. The god of death was still in his body, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Then he turned to Seina and said, “I am fine. ”
“My dear, don’t be nervous, just say whatever you know. We have hired the best lawyer in town, Uncle Char, and nothing will happen.” Seina believed in her son, but she couldn’t “instruct” her son as Chu Yunsheng did. Otherwise, the police would suspect them of cooperating to conceal the facts. She smiled comfortingly, kissed Jacob on the forehead, then got up, and left the ward.
After a while, a big and muscular caucasian police officer walked in with a pen and paper. At the same time, a lawyer followed. One was standing at the head of the bed and the other was standing at the end of the bed.
The police officer did not speak first. Instead, the lawyer whom Jacob knew spoke first at the end of the bed: “Jacob, in view of the state’s protection of minors and other laws, you have the right to remain silent and not answer the questions from Officer Lentz, especially those involving privacy, before you have undergone psychotherapy.”
Then he said solemnly to the caucasian police officer: “Officer Lentz, considering Jacob’s age and his good record, and he is not a suspect, please pay attention to the choice and wording of the question to avoid harming my client’s reputation.”
Actually, everyone standing in the ward knew each other. In such a small town, they would meet each other every day. Originally they didn’t need such a cumbersome and formal process; they just needed to say a few words and then it would be over. It was just that this case was a major one, and it involved shooting, burglary, and the identity of the victim, etc. This incident has even alarmed the media in the city. If it was not handled well, it would soon become a social focus. This was a major event that would affect the vote.
Police Officer Lentz also knew Jacob. In Chu Yunsheng’s “surprise”, this big and muscular caucasian police officer didn’t act rudely as it was shown in the movie. Instead, he asked Jacob some simple questions such as place and time. His tone was contrary to his appearance, friendly and careful, as if he was trying not to irritate Jacob, and ask why Jacob was there.
Under Chu Yunsheng’s “instruction”, Jacob naturally told them that he couldn’t remember anything. However, the reaction of everyone surprised Chu Yunsheng. The caucasian police officer seemed to have no sign of any dissatisfaction or irritation; Jacob reacted like this was a matter of course, and the lawyer kept urging the caucasian police officer to end the questioning on the grounds that Jacob needed a rest…
In the end, not only was Jacob not treated harshly by the police, but he was also given preferential treatment. In the afternoon, a psychotherapist for minors came and wanted to see Jacob, but it was rejected by Jacob. He lay on the hospital bed “leisurely” until the evening, when the news about Emily waking up came.
The “testimony” of the only witness proved that not only did it have nothing to do with the “minor” Jacob, but it also revealed that the reason why Jacob appeared suddenly in the middle of the night was related to the privacy of her and Jacob. Moreover, only after hearing her call for help, did Jacob break into the villa without permission and scare away the two gunmen. Although the specific process was not detailed, and it could even be said to be very vague and suspicious, since the victim had said so, before the suspect was caught and the case became clear, Jacob seemed to have also become a victim and a good man.
However, even though Jacob was doing a good thing, not only did he not receive a prize, but he was also reprimanded by the police. He was told that in this kind of situation, he should’ve called the police instead.
All Jacob wanted was to be a superman, so he naturally ignored what the police said. In terms of Chu Yunsheng, he would ignore it even more. Calling the police? If he had waited for the police to arrive, the girl would’ve already died.
Anyway, whether it was Jacob whose mind was filled with fantasies of being a superman,or Chu Yunsheng who was thinking about other things, what they didn’t know was that at this moment, under the wrath of Emily’s father, the surveillance video in a secret interrogation room in the local police station was switched off. Several ferocious policemen were beating several black men, making them wailing all over the floor, and harshly inquiring the whereabouts of the suspect Niguez…
But how would they know that Niguez did not leave the villa at all. At the moment, he was probably still there, in a form of particles.
Regarding the events in the latter half of the night last night, Chu Yunsheng also didn’t know as he had already lost control of Jacob’s body at that time. He had only just “opened up” some of his senses with Jacob in the morning. After the ward was quiet, he found the nerve-like line that could reach the Guardian and asked:
“Did you call the police last night?”
The guardian replied with a deep voice: “No. I’ve said it many times that I’m just a deity program on the third floor of the spaceship graveyard. I am only responsible for maintaining the physical facilities of the Deception Plan to ensure the safety of the Seventh Era. I am not a god and cannot control everything. It was the girl’s grandfather who called the police. He was only injured and temporarily lost his consciousness. He called the police when he woke up. ”
Chu Yunsheng was puzzled: “You didn’t help? You didn’t save Emily’s grandfather?”
The guardian said: “Life and death are their own business, I can’t interfere, and I don’t have the ability, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to live until now.”
Chu Yunsheng did not believe it, “But you can lead two black men to me and use me to kill them.”
The guardian said bitterly: “You think everyone has a ‘medium’ like you. Do you think I can easily appear in their consciousness? Zero-dimensional space is indeed my specialty, but if I want to ‘speak’ directly in their consciousness, I have to pay a great price, and I must appear as something that conforms to their cultural background. In order to lead two people to you, I even used some of the energy that was reserved for the Deception Plan. I could only tempt them, not directly control them. Whether they wanted to commit a crime or not, it depended on their will. The choice was theirs.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “You seem very useless.”
The guardian said lightly: “I am indeed very useless.”
After the two fell silent for a while, the guardian suddenly said before leaving: “Someone is on to you, and they will appear soon.”
…
The vast land was shrouded by the darkness of night, and the dim moon was hanging slantingly in the west. The outskirts of Haram were very quiet. Only the sugar cane field was making the rustling sound in the breeze.
A human figure was moving very fast in the woods, jumping from one tree’s branch to another tree’s branch like flying. When he reached the end of the woods, he suddenly stopped his fast-moving speed with his sturdy legs. Raising his pale, but unusually handsome face, he looked at the farmhouse of Emily’s grandfather, which had been cordoned off by the police, his brows frowned slightly in concerns.
Under the faint moonlight, the lonely villa seemed to be filled with a strange atmosphere, surrounded by a rustling sugarcane field.
Not long after, another graceful figure appeared behind him. Under the moonlight, she walked out of the shadow of the woods, revealing an elegant and delicate face. She closed her blue eyes, taking a deep breath of air, causing her busty chest to rise and fall steadily.
“It is the aura of death, the undead has appeared.”
