Looking at the private chat in the message bar, Shen Qi thought for a while, and then clicked on the account with the ID "Alice".
This ID posted many consultation posts about sleepwalking, and the replies without exception were all friendly suggestions such as "take medicine" and "see a doctor".
But it is obvious that what the other party wants is not these friendly suggestions. From a case record of the other party, we can know that the other party has already sought medical treatment and has been taking psychotropic drugs for a long time.
But judging from the recent posts, the other party has not gotten better, but has gotten worse. Not only did he have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, he even... experienced an "out-of-body experience."
From the information revealed by the other party, Shen Qi was confident that the other party's situation could be considered abnormal.
As for whether it's something weird, that needs to be investigated.
It just so happens that the other party left his phone number... let's make an appointment to meet.
He touched his chin and found that there was some stubble on his handsome face that had not been taken care of for three days.
It's not okay to go out to meet people like this. You have to freshen up.
You should meet future customers with a spiritual outlook.
Thinking of Shen Qi typing on the keyboard, she replied with an invitation to meet, then got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
However, after opening the cabinet, Shen Qi's expression turned gloomy.
The unknown tentacle that he brought back and put into the glass bottle was gone. The lid of the glass bottle was opened and put aside. There was still a small bunch of hair next to the bottle.
It doesn't take much thinking to figure out why the unknown tentacle disappeared.
"Hairball!!"
"Meow!"
Furball, who was lying lazily on the sofa in the living room, heard the roar in the bathroom and immediately realized that what he had done had been discovered.
He quickly got up and ran towards the window.
Sure enough, the angry Shen Qi ran out barefoot, angrily ran to the edge of the sofa, looked at the flash of black outside the window, and gradually showed a helpless expression.
Originally, he thought of keeping those tentacles and making a deal with the City God Administration Bureau.
From Wu Gang, he learned that weird factors could be extracted from weird body remains.
And his power of purification can wash away the bad parts of the weird factors. As long as he purifies the weird and contaminated parts of the tentacles, the success rate of the mutagenesis reaction with the tentacles will be greatly increased.
Shen Qi has already thought about it. He can do this when encountering such things in the future. By then, he will be able to develop a stable side job.
But now...
That tentacle was eaten by that stupid cat with Hairball. Don’t worry about what changes will happen to it. The problem is that if you sell that tentacle to the people from the Chenghuang Administration Bureau, you can get 50,000 yuan, but now you have nothing. .
"If you eat 50,000 yuan a meal, why is the cost of raising a cat so expensive..."
Shen Qi sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Furball is different from ordinary cats and does not require regular pet care. Otherwise, Shen Qi may not be able to take care of him even if he works several jobs.
"I will definitely hide things well next time!"
Shen Qi clenched his fist and said firmly.
At this moment, a burst of noise came from the room.
...
Chaoge City is a third-tier seaside city, but its scale is close to that of a first-tier city, with a total of twenty-three districts.
Among them, Lingshan District is located on the northwest edge, while Shen Qi lives in Qingcheng District, which is connected to Lingshan District and the central five districts.
The client made an appointment to meet in Chaocheng District, which is located in the central fifth district. Chaocheng District is a commercial area with super supermarkets, plazas and other entertainment, commercial and integrated facilities.
As night falls, neon lights are the constant theme of this coastal city. Several lighthouse lights penetrate the clouds and patrol back and forth on the sea to guide the returning ships.
Walking out of the subway station, looking up at the city shrouded in neon lights, feeling the atmosphere of another world.
"That annoying broadcast has finally stopped..."
Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by, Shen Qi lifted up his zipper and walked towards the tall building ahead.
Five big characters shine on the colorful neon sign.
——[Qiyuan Cafe].
That's where the client made the appointment.
...
"Dingling bell~"
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Shen Qi stepped in as the doorbell rang.
There were many people in the cafe, but most of them were couples.
Shen Qi stood there for a long time, and then someone came up to him.
"Welcome~ What would you like to order?"
It was a cute girl dressed as a maid, with refreshing short hair and a cat-ear headband. Her long black tail swung around her waist and swayed in the air, just like a real cat.
Normally, Shen Qi's eyes might light up, and then he would go shopping under the guidance of the maid clerk.
It's a pity that Shen Qi hates cats at this time. After all, a cat just ate 50,000 yuan.
But you can come and visit more often in the future.
"No need, I'm looking for someone."
Shen Qi was very straight and refused the maid clerk's invitation, and walked straight to the booth next to the window inside.
There was a beautiful woman sitting there, her haggard face, frowning brows, and the tired look in her eyes clearly showed that this was the client.
From the moment she entered, the woman looked up at the door from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
As Shen Qi approached, the woman showed a look of suspicion mixed with joy.
Looking at Shen Qi approaching, she asked tentatively: "Are you..."
"Alice?"
——
As both parties introduced themselves, Shen Qi learned the name of the client.
Susie.
Single, living alone.
A screenwriter for a special magazine.
This year is twenty-seven.
The abnormality lasted for seven years.
And with an ID name like "Alice", it can be seen that she has such a fairy tale world in her heart.
But compared to Shen Qi's understanding, Su Qian was more suspicious.
Obviously the ID on the forum is "30-year veteran driver", but now she is a young person. It is doubtful no matter how you look at it. Could she have met a scammer?
"Shen...Mr. Shen, are you really a '30-year veteran'? Or are you his subordinate?"
It was a bit weird to be asked by a girl if she was a thirty-year veteran driver.
Shen Qi touched his nose awkwardly. Facing Su Qian's doubts, he waved his hand and said, "I am the person you want to see. If you don't believe me, you can confirm my identity with the leader of the second field team of the Chenghuang Administration Bureau. I still work with them as a consultant."
When Su Qian heard this explanation, her vigilance was obviously relaxed, probably because of the name of the Chenghuang Administration Bureau.
"Okay, so what do you think about my situation?"
Susie no longer bothered with the issue of identity. Anyway, she would check the situation first and then verify his identity.
However, what she didn't know was that Shen Qi's words the next second scared her so much that she lost her sense of proportion.
Shen Qi put his elbows on the table, clasped his hands tightly, and put his thumbs on his forehead, looking like a famous detective.
He said: "Based on my analysis, I think your situation can be considered abnormal, which means that what happened to you is related to weirdness."
"In layman's terms..."
"You've been close to the weird personally, and for a long time."
Crackling!
A bolt of thunder flashed across the city, illuminating half of Susie's face.
