[The most primitive and strongest human emotion is fear, and the most primitive and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.] - H.P. Lovecraft
The most beautiful place in Beijing at night is not the colorful Fuyuan Lighthouse or CCTV’s neon building full of geometric art, but a commercial pedestrian street in the South District.
At night, the heat instilled by the sun has not dissipated, and the pedestrian street has been flooded with customers one after another. At night, the streets will be closed at both ends, and all vehicles are strictly prohibited from passing through.
On both sides of the road are commercial stores with a dazzling array of gorgeous products and all kinds of delicacies and snacks. All decorations and scenery were built according to the customs and styles of the Tang Dynasty in China.
Due to the huge influence of the Tang Dynasty on overseas countries, during the Song Dynasty, "Tang" had become the name for China in Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, this street was called "Chinatown" and also called "Chang'an Street".
Chinatown was first called "Great Tang Street" and began in Japan during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Japanese used it to refer to the residential areas of Chinese people living in Japan.
In the 19th century, economic and trade exchanges between China and the West became more frequent, and foreigners also called us Chinese people "Tangren". Therefore, places in the West where Chinese people lived together were also called "Chinatowns".
Duke was a student who had just graduated from the police academy. He failed the criminal police assessment in the afternoon and walked into the pedestrian street with frustration and loss.
Xuwu Fast Food Restaurant is a gourmet restaurant that he often patronizes. At first, he was tempted by the name of the store and felt that the word "Xuwang" touched him. After entering, he discovered that this place was the best place for him to vent his emotions.
As always, Duke ordered two bottles of beer first. After drinking the first bottle, the fried chicken he ordered was served to the table. The second bottle of beer was eaten with the fried chicken.
A burp came out, followed by a lifelong sigh. Seeing him like this, the waiter smiled slightly and asked: "Brother Du, what unhappy thing happened to you again today?"
Duke shook his head, smiled and replied: "I'm not happy every day. I've told you so many times, I'm one year older than you, don't always call me brother."
"Okay brother, are you still packing the Coke chicken wings?" the little brother asked politely.
Duke smiled helplessly, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Pack it."
everything……
It all happened so naturally.
Suddenly someone yelled outside, which was already noisy enough, and then a group of people ran away frantically in the crowd, as if they were avoiding something.
Duke looked into the distance through the window and noticed something seemed to be happening there. Just when he was about to pretend that it didn't matter, a red object more than two meters high suddenly stood among the crowd. The dazzling color of blood made people feel...
, the several spikes on its back look like a hairless hedgehog, but they still look extremely sharp.
"w!"
The waiter called out the name of the monster. It was a new species that everyone knew. It was regarded as a dangerous species like the red devil, an evil incarnation of violence and killing. However, its predecessor was human.
In 2023, the World Health Organization joined forces with countries around the world to launch a major medical research, investing two million relevant personnel and more than 300 experimental bases around the world to conduct anti-cancer and anti-disease medical research.
Later, the anti-cancer drug developed by Base No. 45 was put into practical use in batches, and the anti-cancer effect was remarkable. However, it was later found that the drug contained an "R-substance", which seriously threatened human health.
Afterwards, those patients who had taken anti-cancer drugs awakened the genes of new species one after another, and the r-substance changed their genetic tissue, turning them into red monsters.
The emergence of w will definitely cause a disaster. In the face of disaster, human beings' instinct should be to save their lives. However, the waiter's reaction was exactly the same as that of some people outside. While sending the menu to the chef, the waiter said leisurely: " Now the appearance of w has become a necessity in life. Every time he appears, he is dealt with by the group of unknown people from DSIB. Sometimes it feels really boring, ugh~"
At this time, a police car spray-painted with blue spray paint appeared on the pedestrian street. The white and eye-catching words "DSIB" were written on the car body. This unique style can be recognized at a glance. They are special police officers who specialize in dealing with dangerous species. , the main purpose is to eliminate the new dangerous species of humans with genetic mutations - w.
Duke had just emerged from the crowd when he was pushed by someone behind him and was almost hit by a DSIB police car. Four men in black suits and blue ties got out of the car, each with a blue and black hand. The pistol rushed into the crowd.
Duke looked at how they were dressed, and a craving arose in his heart. Every movement attracted him deeply. Unlike him now, he was at most an errand boy in the police station, and his most frequent duties were in civil disputes in the community. , such as the hatred between old men and old women.
One of them, a stubbled man with fashionable pigtails, walked toward Duke with a gun in his left hand and a newly lit cigarette in his right hand. He stared at Duke seriously and warned: "Be safe, you brat!"
After saying that, Brother Hu Stubble also rushed into the crowd.
A cloud of smoke exploded in the crowd with a tear-jerking effect.
Gunshots.
Two gunshots.
Four gunshots!
Duke's heart trembled when he heard it, and his spine was as cold as the root of his tail.
They went to war with the monster, not caring that there were still so many people in the pedestrian street.
The police quickly arrived to safely evacuate the crowd.
The red monster in front of you is called "W", which was transformed from a former cancer patient. Once you become a W patient, it will be difficult to turn back into a human being, and the task of DSIB is to deal with them.
The beautiful investigator with long straight black ponytail raised her pistol and pointed it at W. A series of data information was displayed on her bracelet. She read: "The r value is 315, which is 15 points beyond the killing range. It is defined as a kill target."
Just like a gun-shaped thermometer, when you test a monster, the "pass" system on the pistol terminal will detect w's dangerous value, and this value is determined by the amount of r material energy emitted from w's body. . Below 200 is a benign level, above 200 will be judged as a suspect, and if the value reaches 300, it is within the killing range.
Brother Hu Stubble smoked a cigarette leisurely, raised his gun and fired two shots at the monster. The bullet casings fell to the ground, but the monster stood proudly. The bullets drilled two small holes in his body, and red liquid continued to flow out.
After the other three team members opened the safety bolt of the Paz system, they fired several shots at W and knocked him down. W roared repeatedly as if he was making a final resistance. Brother Hu Stubble walked next to him and pointed the gun at W's head. , finished the last puff of cigarette in one breath, and while exhaling it, he pulled the trigger with his finger.
The beautiful girl with ponytail came over to check w.
"This is the seventh w case this month, and the fifth dangerous species with an r value of over 300. This data... does not seem normal."
Brother Hu Stubble lit another cigarette, put the gun back into the storage bag on his waist and replied: "They were already abnormal when they first appeared, but this data is indeed the most abnormal in history.
The goal of reaching the kill index is a bit much.”
After the pony-tailed beauty completed the inspection, a string of green text appeared on the bracelet: "HARM LESS-PASS (the harmful object has passed the test, which means the kill is completed.)".
Duke saw the entire process of their mission from a distance. In front of ordinary people, they were violent and bloodthirsty monsters. In front of DSIB investigators, they were like shooting and killing an ordinary person.
What kind of organization is DSIB?
Who are these investigators?
Why are the new dangerous species of humanity so vulnerable in front of them, but so powerful in front of ordinary people?
…
Maybe sometimes people are full of longing for the unknown?
Countless questions filled Duke's big brain. The police were unable to deal with the new humans, but DSIB could easily deal with them. There must be some unknown reason for this.
Duke watched them leave, his heart full of mystery and unknown, but also full of longing and yearning for DSIB.
However, the new law clearly stipulates that no police officer, including police academy students, will be allowed to enter the mysterious organization DSIB in the future, and DSIB will not recruit people from the outside. Their investigators are all selected internally.
It is impossible to find any information on the police network, and even the most basic identity information is not registered in the household registration.
There is no information about the investigators anywhere except the DSIB, which is a very top-secret special organization.
Duke looked at the street corner where they disappeared, and his yearning for DSIB became even stronger.
