Chapter 240 Appalling Proposal(1/2)

  However, based on the time information provided by Lao Dong and checking the call records, Jiang Yue quickly identified Master Liu's phone number.

This phone call is roughly consistent with the time periods provided by Lao Dong.

This made Jiang Yue look at Lao Dong with admiration. This guy was really thoughtful. It was really not easy for him to remember these details despite being controlled by others.

 Master Liu left quite a lot of things, and Jiang Yue didn't have time to count them all at the moment.

 Lao Dong is a smart man. After reaching a tacit agreement with Jiang Yue, he naturally knows what to do next.

 …

 Luo Chu, who was on the 30th floor, was hiding in a makeshift bunker and was also very anxious. The movement on the 29th floor was so loud that he could naturally hear it.

 After all, in this empty corridor, gunshots are constantly heard, and it is not difficult to reach the thirtieth floor. What's more, the twenty-ninth floor and the thirtieth floor are actually separated by a roof.

He could even hear the low roars of the zombies crowding the corridor on the twenty-ninth floor.

 The dense and dull roar indicated that the number of corpses downstairs was staggering, almost filling the entire corridor.

Luo Chuqiang has experienced many dangerous situations in the past few years since he reached the position of Director of the Third Operations Division, and has also experienced many dangerous scenes that he was unsure of.

But this time, he was really breaking out in a cold sweat and worried.

Jiang Yue asked him to stay here and chose to go into the tiger's den alone. Of course Luo Chu understood it very well.

Time passed by minute by second. According to normal time calculation, the zombies on the 29th floor should have arrived on the 30th floor long ago. But Luo Chu listened attentively, and it seemed that they had been staying on the 29th floor without much movement.

 Other than the occasional gunfire, there didn't seem to be much fighting activity.

Luo Chu couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is Jiang Yue doing?

At this moment, light footsteps came from the corridor.

 Then, Jiang Yue's figure appeared in the corridor.

 “Luo Chu, it’s me.”

Seeing Jiang Yue return safely, Luo Chu felt slightly relieved, but then he frowned, pointed his gun at Jiang Yue, and asked in a low voice: "Don't come over yet."

Jiang Yue smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, it's me."

Seeing that Luo Chu had no intention of letting down his guard or withdrawing his gun, Jiang Yue had no choice but to highlight some of the experiences of the two of them acting together during the day.

Luo Chu then put away his gun and rushed out of the bunker.

 “Xiaojiang, how are you?”

“As expected, it was Master Liu who was responsible. But he has been killed by me. Except for Lao Dong, all his accomplices have been killed.”

“So, the crisis is over?”

“You can say that for the time being, but the ghosts and corpses in the entire building are still there.”

Luo Chu's expression changed in shock: "Now that the controller is dead, these things should be harmless, right?"

“That’s not necessarily true. The ghost also said that corpse puppets are bloodthirsty creatures. If they were released, they would definitely be extremely harmful.”

For some reason, Luo Chu was reminded of the zombies in Resident Evil and couldn't help but said: "If this kind of thing bites and scratches a normal person, it shouldn't be infected, right?"

“That’s not to say, it’s not a zombie caused by a biological disaster. But the power and destructive power of these things are far beyond normal people. Even ordinary awakened people may not be able to defeat them.”

Having said this, Jiang Yue took out a protective rune and said, "With this, those ghosts and zombies will not attack you."

Luo Chu saw that the two-finger-wide runes exuded a strange aura, so he did not refuse and stuffed them into his pocket.

“Xiaojiang, what do you think we should do with these corpses?”

Jiang Yue sighed softly and did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at the frightened and hesitant ghosts in the ghost flags.

Although these ghosts have not lost consciousness, they have been controlled by Master Liu during this period and have formed an instinctive dependence.

When Master Liu died, these ghosts became lonely ghosts for a while, and naturally they were a little hesitant and frightened.

 “Luo Chu, these are poor people.”

Jiang Yue said in a faint tone.

Luo Chu was startled: "Xiaojiang, you are the main force in this Yinyuan Apartment case, and I am at most an assistant. According to the rules, if you have any ideas, you can speak out. As long as it is reasonable, we will do what you want."

Although he is an official figure, Luo Chu has been with Jiang Yue for a long time and knows Jiang Yue's methods.

“I do have some ideas that I might try.”

“The vast majority of people in this apartment building are actually ordinary people, good people. Even if they become ghosts or zombies, they are still victims in the final analysis, and their evildoing is not serious.”

 Luo Chu did not deny this and nodded in deep agreement.

“Luo Chu should still remember Mr. Ke, right?”

“You mean the zombie version of Mr. Ke?”

“Yes, Mr. Ke was made into a corpse puppet, but he still retained his original consciousness, and his IQ and behavior did not seem to be greatly affected.”

“So, I’m wondering, is it possible to put these resentful spirits back into their bodies and let them exist in another life form?”

 Luo Chu was stunned, could it still be done like this?

 Swallowing his saliva, Luo Chu couldn't help but ask: "Xiaojiang, is it technically feasible? And, aren't there any risks in doing so?"

"It's not technically difficult. None of these ghosts have lost their consciousness. They have a kind of attachment to their own physical instincts. It's like that Wen Yuqian turned into a ghost and is still frantically looking for the pieces of her own body.

This is a strong obsession.”

"As for the risks, there is no need to worry too much. Even if they merge with the corpse puppets again, they will still be controlled by the Zimu Onibata. Once they leave Yinyuan Apartment and get away from the Zimu Onibata, their souls will be wiped out. By then,

They really have become zombies."

Jiang Yue’s idea was so bold that Luo Chu was frightened when he heard it.

“There are still a few ghosts, haven’t they been destroyed?”

 Luo Chu raised another question.

“Let them be peaceful corpse puppets... There are not many of them, and other conscious corpse puppets will surely be able to cover them.”

 The reorganization of corpses and souls is indeed a horrifying idea.

“So, are these people still considered human beings?”

“Living dead?” Jiang Yue shook his head, “There’s no need to worry about this. Maybe there will be even more bizarre life forms appearing in the future. Do you believe it?”

 It is difficult for Luo Chu to refute.

 You can completely remove the word "maybe". All kinds of weird life forms will definitely appear in the future. In fact, similar things have already appeared in many high-level files.

With Luo Chu's current authority, he can already access some. There are also secret files at higher levels that he does not have enough authority to access. I'm afraid there are more secrets.

“Luo Chu, the difficulty now is, what to do with this building? As long as it operates normally, there will definitely be people coming in and out. Although these living dead are kept, it is not appropriate to interact with the outside world.”

 “Seizure?”

“It’s really not possible to seal it up for the time being...”

 “Why?”

 “It’s a long story…”

Jiang Yue immediately explained all the information revealed by Old Dong to Luo Chu. Except for the key part that he wanted to pretend to be Master Liu, he basically said everything else that could be said.

 After listening, Luo Chu was completely stunned.

 Once again, Jiang Yue proved his earlier point to him.

In Star City, there is an invisible powerful force that is doing things secretly, and may even cause shocking events in the future.

There is such a huge monster lurking under the eyes, and the Star City Operations Bureau has no clue at all. It is simply terrifying to think about it.

How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

Nowadays, people are not just sleeping soundly, they are already sharpening their knives, ready to be put to their necks at any time.

“Xiao Jiang, this matter is too big for you to handle alone, right?”

“I don’t plan to carry it alone. Your action bureau needs to take action quickly. It’s best if all major departments take action. However, I still have to remind you that it’s best to do it secretly. Don’t alert the enemy, let alone make any big moves blindly.”

 “Why can’t we make big moves?”

"It's not that we can't make big moves, but we need to make sure before we do it that everyone involved is reliable. Who knows how many chess pieces this force has deployed? How many people like Chief Yan are lurking in various departments and teams?

"

 In a word, it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

 It is absolutely impossible to guard against house thieves who steal the house inside and outside.

 Speaking of Chief Yan, Luo Chu was speechless again.

Finally, the two of them decided that Yinyuan Apartment would not be sealed for the time being, and they agreed to do so for a week.

 Based on the frequency of contact with Master Liu on that phone, there will be a contact every two or three days. One week is definitely more than enough.

 As for Old Dong, he still has to stay in Yinyuan Apartment.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he also knew that he had no choice.
