Chapter 7, Captain Hao
I woke up at 6:30 in the morning, had some breakfast, put on my school uniform, and walked towards the school
Clearly, they are mutants, yet they remain at a standstill with ordinary people. It is likely that they have traversed the mirror, expending tremendous energy, and in comparison to ordinary individuals, they are not significantly more powerful.
"It is truly borrowing a corpse to return to life, no, it is seizing a body!" Yang Yi shuddered.
A night without dreams
How did this happen here
Reward: one portion of body refining liquid, one set of trainee police uniform, 1 merit. (Note: For the first task, all rewards except for merit will be distributed in advance)
At this moment, the mirror returned to normal, revealing his reflection, which seemed to be slightly taller than before, and his skin appeared much smoother. He took a few steps back, gently lifted it, and the coffee table, which usually required both hands to raise, was effortlessly lifted with one hand.
Camouflage uniform salute: "Report to Captain Hao, this student said that his deskmate was injured and hospitalized yesterday, and he wants to go visit!"
With no other choice, I had to leave the management office and look towards the residence that seemed to be separated by a barrier
It has truly come out ... ...
As the cork is pulled from the bottle, a rich breath of life surges into the body
Secondly, since there is an internship, there must be a formal position, and even higher levels.
The fact is ... ... death
The breakfast shops along the road have mostly opened, and everywhere there are people hurrying to catch the bus to work. It seems that, in comparison to the so-called "mutation", survival is of greater importance
A tall young man, feeling conflicted, heard the commotion and walked out from inside: "What is happening?"
It is not the other party that appears here, but rather this mirror, akin to a television, replaying past experiences
Ran into a wall and fainted
Task: Within three days, apprehend a violator classified as "destructive level" who has illegally crossed boundaries, and bring them to justice
Reward
Moreover, I also feel that my mind is clearer and my memory has significantly improved
Turn to look at the dressing mirror
Warning
It was as if he had spent a great deal of effort to crawl out from a passage, and then... he rushed towards a figure that looked exactly like him
Having just successfully taken over, she saw someone working on her. Anyone else would find it unacceptable.
It is true, not a dream
The youth's attitude is resolute
Sitting in my seat, waiting for class to start, my deskmate has not yet arrived
The efficacy of the quenching fluid can be seen in part
Not acceptable
Despite having slept for just over 2 hours, I feel no fatigue; on the contrary, I am full of energy
The mirror of the sky may indeed connect to another world. The so-called mutants are, in fact, those who have been possessed by others
... ...
In the mirror of the sky, the shadow of the captain before me appeared
The body is refined through the liquid quenching, allowing one to undergo a transformation, expelling all impurities from within. At this moment, he is as if he has not bathed for two years, reeking of a foul odor.
Yang Yi shook his head
... ...
The effect is remarkable!
The content speculated by that science popularization blogger is highly likely to be true
Immediately thereafter, the two Zhang Zhen fought for control over the body, and the physical form began to lose control
Otherwise, the essence of the soul would be obliterated in an instant, making it impossible to speak nonsensically or engage in strange behaviors
Knowing that a hard charge would certainly result in being treated as a "mutant" and turned into a sieve, Yang Yi had no choice but to retreat
I truly thought just now that I would be trapped in there forever
It belongs to the realm of bare and brutal slaughter, truly, I do not know what there is to look forward to
Of course, while others are envisioning possibilities, he has already realized that he has embarked on a path that is entirely different from that of others. As for how far he can go in the future and what the outcome will be, it still requires a bit of exploration.
Upon entering the classroom, I noticed that the class had already divided into several teams, with groups of seven or eight people huddled together, each sharing the information they knew.
Only a distance of over 300 meters from the Second Middle School, upon arrival, one could see numerous individuals in camouflage uniforms guarding the important intersection
Otherwise, it would definitely have resulted in the death of the deskmate, rather than just a head injury.
How can I complete the first task assigned by the management bureau if I cannot see it
One of them had a pale face, with blood-red liquid slowly flowing from their eyes
To become a mutant is to be possessed
Li Fuli from Class Three is also clamoring to find his beloved concubine, even claiming that the Qing Dynasty has fallen
The world after the emergence of the mirror has completely changed; in a situation fraught with crises, only strength can alter everything. Without it, one can only be a lamb awaiting slaughter.
This can be considered the first good sleep in three years
Even knowing that the other party may have ulterior motives, how could one possibly miss the opportunity to change their fate when it is right in front of them
Deskmate
The strength has indeed increased
As he approached, two young men came forward: "The hospital has been temporarily requisitioned and is not open to the public for the time being, please return!"
Took a turn
No wonder the husband of the farmer was beaten to death
Thirdly, what the other party referred to as "destruction level" signifies is unclear; however, since the mirror reflects the image of Zhang Zhen, it indicates that the one who has taken over his body possesses approximately this level of strength
Balancing two heads on the shoulders
After a moment of hesitation, I swallowed it down
Although there are no longer any words appearing, nor any hints, much useful information can be inferred from the experiences of the day.
Inquiring with the teacher, I received a response: the injuries are too severe, and they are still receiving treatment in the hospital
According to speculation, it should involve driving away the possessor and saving the possessed individual, because...! ... According to the regulations of the administration, the other party has committed an offense!
Furrowing his brow, Captain Hao looked over and asked, "What is your name?"
He didn't crash into the wall, was he taken away instead
The corridor has other portals, but it is unclear whether it is due to insufficient permissions or some other reason, as not only can they not be explored, but even the names above them cannot be seen
Once possessed, one is no longer oneself; the so-called drastic change in temperament and various eccentricities are all false
Although it is impossible to detect what changes have occurred, he feels that at this moment, he has defeated the previous three versions of himself without any doubt
A sweetness filled the throat, as the liquid flowed into the body; in the next moment, the entire body felt as if it were being nourished by something, akin to soaking in a hot spring, an indescribable comfort
Now not only has he come out, but he has also taken the body tempering liquid and has become a trainee police officer
It is unclear whether it is a complete capture or a partial one, and I do not quite understand how the capture and the - diagram - book are to be executed
One can dream freely, but the prerequisite is to be alive
This is the sorrow of ordinary people
Just as the shock set in, the image vanished, and above the mirror, red text reappeared
Having figured everything out and not having overlooked anything, Yang Yi let out a sigh of relief, only to realize that his body was covered in sticky, filthy substances
Surviving through over a thousand nightmares relies on being cautious when necessary and being decisive when the time calls for it
In a hurry, I took a shower, changed my clothes, and it was already past 3 a.m. I lay down in bed and quickly fell asleep
"My deskmate was injured yesterday and is staying here. Can I go visit him..." Yang Yi said hurriedly
Is it possible that... even without being possessed, there is still a chance for mutation
What comes to mind makes the heart cold
It is evident without further thought that this not only enhances physical fitness and strength but also significantly improves a person's talent and aptitude
The eyes shine with brilliance
It should not be considered too strong
In an instant, all the fatigue throughout my body vanished
Seeing him inquire, Yang Yi realized there might be an opportunity to enter. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, his face turned slightly pale
I heard that Zhao Le from Class 1 went home last night and started going crazy... It seems he has also become a mutant
Inquiring about the exact location, I took the opportunity during the lunch break to walk over
Within the class, the discussion regarding the mutants did not diminish with the passing of the night; on the contrary, the increase in information excited more individuals.
Suppress the excitement and quietly summarize
Being reminded in such a manner by the other party, Yang Yi understood the significance of it. He committed the content to memory and looked back once more. At that moment, the mirror seemed to have conveyed all that needed to be said, reflecting nothing more, and once again displayed the layout of the room.
In an instant, Yang Yi felt a chill throughout his body
The captain in camouflage uniform ... ! ... has actually been possessed by a mutant !
This is the experience of surviving over a thousand nightmares, continuously honing oneself, allowing some good habits to become instinctual, so that when encountering new environments, one can find more details and avoid being killed
This is what he is unwilling to accept
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the shoe cabinet at the residence
I always feel as if I am dreaming
Yang Yi indeed saw that on the table in the room, there was an additional jade bottle, approximately three fingers long, which must contain the so-called body tempering liquid
Looking at the worn-out furniture with peeling paint in the room, Yang Yi had never felt such a sense of familiarity
Currently, the known information and experiences can be summarized in three points
The police uniform slowly emerged on the skin, and with a single step forward, the entire person felt dizzy once again
Continuing to look down, there is another phrase on the mirror
First, the Mirror Management Bureau is a real entity, existing between the mirror and reality. He is already a trainee officer, and his main task is to apprehend illegal crossers, which should refer to those mutants that have suddenly appeared on Earth.
The scene that follows is exactly the same as what was seen in the classroom
The confusion did not last long, and I soon understood what was going on
The Mirror Management Bureau exists at the junction between the mirror and reality. One can freely traverse through it by wearing a police uniform, but one must exit through the same mirror they entered. If the mirror used for traversal shatters, the individual will be trapped inside and unable to leave.
Remember!
