"What the hell is this ghost thing?!" Liu Xing couldn’t help but curse in his heart, because he really didn’t expect Bai Hecheng to show up here... Well, Liu Xing had to admit that he had actually thought Bai Hecheng might appear in this module, after all, Gary and the others had already shown up.
But Gary and the others were NPCs, while Bai Hecheng was a player!
So what kind of ghost operation was this?
Could it be that Bai Hecheng was still just an NPC during this ti period, and didn’t beco a character card until more than 10 years later?
Or was he just seeing things?
At this mont, Leon patted Liu Xing’s shoulder and said, "Chris, what are you looking at? Why do you have such an expression?"
Liu Xing snapped out of it and found that the Bai Hecheng on the rooftop had disappeared.
"Nothing, I just thought I saw a figure appear on the rooftop," Liu Xing shook his head and said.
"Chris, are you sure?" Wesker frowned.
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously, "If nothing goes wrong, I should have seen a person, and that person seed to have an Asian face. Oh, Sergei, did you bring the autopsy reports for those three bodies? Are there any facial photos of the three bodies?"
Sergei quickly took an envelope from his small briefcase and handed it to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing opened the envelope and the first autopsy report had a photo of Bai Hecheng.
Liu Xing was so sure because the Bai Hecheng in the photo was exactly the sa as the Bai Hecheng more than 10 years later.
Could it be that Bai Hecheng was also one of the Yis People?
Liu Xing now thought of this possibility, and in his opinion, this possibility was very high.
If that was the case, then everything could be explained... No way.
Because if Bai Hecheng was also one of the Yis People, then he must be on Ithaqua’s side, not serving the Cult of the Cadaver as he did now, let alone becoming a middle-level manager of the Cult of the Cadaver in the future.
But in the EinsCastle more than 10 years later, Liu Xing really didn’t see any difference between Bai Hecheng and ordinary people, or ordinary players.
So what did Bai Hecheng go through in those 10-plus years?
At this mont, a police car drove into the square in front of the Funeral Ho.
Then Rex and two other police officers got out.
"Rex, why are you here?" Sergei asked puzzledly.
Rex frowned, a little surprised, "I was going to ask you the sa question. Didn’t you guys also get a report? It shouldn’t be, your place is quite far from here, so you shouldn’t be the ones handling this, right?"
"Rex, you know that yesterday we had three bodies stolen, and today those three bodies were sent back. So the higher-ups asked us to co and check on the situation of those three bodies, and then take them back for safekeeping. But when we got here, we found that sothing was wrong with the Funeral Ho, don’t you think it’s a bit too quiet here?" Sergei said seriously.
Rex nodded and looked at the main building of the Funeral Ho, saying, "That’s right, it’s a bit too quiet here. And I got a call 10 minutes ago saying that so thugs were causing trouble at the Funeral Ho, assaulting ordinary citizens and Funeral Ho staff, so I brought so people over. But judging from the current situation, is it possible that those thugs are the reason why the other people in the Funeral Ho have all left?"
When Liu Xing and the others heard Rex’s purpose, they couldn’t help but frown.
The reason was simple, the "thugs" Rex ntioned were most likely the three bodies, or the Ghouls, or the zombies.
Now Liu Xing couldn’t be sure what state Bai Hecheng and the others were in.
At this ti, Wesker stepped forward and said to Rex, "Rex, did you bring handguns with you?"
Wesker understood one thing very well, and that was that when facing non-human creatures, you absolutely couldn’t use close-combat weapons, because human strength was really too weak compared to non-human creatures.
If Rex and his n didn’t bring handguns, then Wesker could only try to get them to stay here and wait for reinforcents, so they wouldn’t go with them and get killed...
Rex nodded and patted his waist, saying, "Of course, you know that those thugs might have guns, so I brought people who are qualified to carry guns, in case they get beaten up without being able to fight back. If those thugs don’t have guns, we can use guns to force them to surrender."
"That’s good. Actually, I suspect the ’thugs’ you ntioned are related to the attack case a few days ago, so they most likely have guns, so rember to take off the safety when we enter the Funeral Ho main building, and be ready to shoot back at any ti," Wesker said seriously.
Seeing Wesker so serious, Rex quickly nodded and said, "Captain Wesker, you are our senior, so today we will all listen to your command, we will do whatever you say."
At this ti, Jill spoke up, "Captain, headquarters wants us to confirm the situation in the Funeral Ho first, and then they will send people to help."
Wesker nodded and said to Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, go get the batons and tasers from my car, since you guys don’t have guns, use these for self-defense for now."
Because of Sergei, Rex also knew that Liu Xing and the others had their guns confiscated, so Rex also had his n give their tasers and batons to Liu Xing and the others.
So Liu Xing’s team’s equipnt beca batons and tasers... Of course, Liu Xing knew that this set of equipnt was useless against mythical creatures.
But when Sergei took out his handgun, Liu Xing said in surprise, "Sergei, you have a gun too?"
Because forensic investigators are also part of the police force, in theory they can also be ard. But because of the nature of their work, they generally don’t use guns, so forensic investigators usually don’t carry guns.
Sergei chuckled and said, "I have to thank that guy Rex. After graduating from the Police Academy and getting a handgun, he would show it off to from ti to ti, so I also went to get a gun license."
"Okay, now there’s no ti to waste, let’s go into the Funeral Ho first. Chris, you guys without guns will be in the rear, Sergei, you’re familiar with the Funeral Ho, so you’ll lead the way," Wesker said.
Although Sergei was a bit cowardly, he also knew to put the overall situation first, so he didn’t make any excuses and walked in the front.
As soon as they entered the main building of the Funeral Ho, Liu Xing and the others saw a splatter of blood on the wall at the entrance.
As a professional, Sergei imdiately concluded, "This blood stain should have been ford about half an hour ago, and it seems that soone was injured in the carotid artery of the neck with a sharp weapon, so if nothing unexpected happens, this person should have already died, after all, we didn’t see any ambulance on our way here."
Wesker nodded and gave Jill a look, and Jill imdiately took out her mobile phone.
Liu Xing looked at the ground and found a large amount of blood on the floor.
Entering the first-floor lobby, it was a complete ss, with blood stains everywhere.
"How could soone cause trouble in a Funeral Ho?" a police officer under Rex’s command whispered.
Wesker looked around and said, "This is not just causing trouble, these attackers are obviously here on a mission. From the scene, we can infer that they have already taken control of the ordinary citizens and staff in the main building, so Sergei, do you know if there are any large rooms in the main building? They should all be there now."
Sergei thought for a mont and said, "I rember the largest rooms in the main building should be the conference room on the top floor and the cafeteria on the first floor, but the cafeteria on the first floor is obviously empty, so I think they are in the conference room on the top floor."
Wesker nodded and said seriously, "Now let’s go to the conference room and take a look. If the attackers are ard, we’ll retreat imdiately. If not, we’ll try to rescue the hostages."
Everyone nodded.
Since the main building of the Funeral Ho only has three floors, Liu Xing and the others went straight up the stairs to the top floor.
Then KP Ti said to Liu Xing, "Now you can choose to perform a Listening Judgnt to see if there are any sounds coming from the conference room."
Since KP Ti said so, of course Liu Xing chose to perform a Listening Judgnt.
But to think about it, Liu Xing felt that this was the first ti he had perford a Listening Judgnt in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Ga Hall.
Liu Xing, 33/50, succeeded.
The mont the Listening Judgnt succeeded, Liu Xing heard what seed to be people whispering in the conference room.
It seems the situation is not as bad as expected.
However, since the conference room door was closed, Wesker decided to wait for reinforcents for safety reasons, as with their current equipnt, they would not be able to forcibly enter the conference room, and they also had no way to quietly confirm the situation inside.
So Wesker led Liu Xing and the others back to the first floor.
Half an hour later, the reinforcing SWAT team finally arrived.
The situation in the conference room was quickly determined, and there were actually only about 20 ordinary citizens and Funeral Ho staff mbers inside, and no attackers.
The most important thing is that Liu Xing saw Bai Hecheng among these 20-odd people.
At this ti, Bai Hecheng was still wearing a white coat and was very conspicuous in the crowd.
"How is this possible? He was supposed to be dead, and I even disemboweled him at the ti. How is he still alive?" Sergei exclaid in surprise.
Liu Xing thought for a mont and said to Wesker, "Captain, should we take that person aside and interrogate him?"
Wesker nodded and said, "I’ll go talk to the SWAT team leader first, he’s a friend of mine, so he should give this favor. You guys go ahead and restrain that person."
So Liu Xing and the others surrounded Bai Hecheng.
At this ti, Bai Hecheng had a puzzled look on his face and said in surprise, "Officers, what are you trying to do?"
Since Sergei was the one who knew Bai Hecheng the best among those present, other than Liu Xing, Sergei spoke up and said, "Do you know who you are?"
Bai Hecheng thought for a mont and said uncertainly, "I don’t know my na, the person who brought here just called Veit Revo."
Veit Revo? Is that the aning of "Bai He"?
Liu Xing frowned at the thought.
Sergei nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know who brought you here and why?"
Bai Hecheng shook his head and said, "I don’t know either, because at the ti I was in a semi-conscious state, feeling like I was lying on a bed, and then I just heard soone talking next to , saying they were going to bring and two other people back to the Funeral Ho. Then I seed to have been put in a car and given an oxygen mask, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the top floor of this building, so I went downstairs and heard voices in the conference room, so I went in and stayed with those people. They can testify to this."
"Do you rember anything else?" Sergei probed.
Bai Hecheng shook his head, looking confused, "I feel like I’ve lost my mory, because I can’t rember anything else."
Liu Xing and the others looked at each other.
Just then, Wesker ca over and said, "I’ve discussed with the SWAT team, now let’s take him back to the police station first."
Liu Xing and the others nodded, this was not the right place to interrogate Bai Hecheng.
So Liu Xing and the others took Bai Hecheng back to the police station.
On the way, Wesker also recounted the recent events at the Funeral Ho.
An hour ago, just as Liu Xing and the others left the police station, a group of masked criminals stord into the Funeral Ho, killing several ordinary citizens and staff who tried to resist or escape, and then they separated the remaining hostages, locking so in the conference room on the top floor and others in the morgue.
But strangely, after threatening the hostages, the criminals left the Funeral Ho, taking all the bodies inside, including the two bodies that were brought in with Bai Hecheng.
So the two bodies that ca in with Bai Hecheng have disappeared again.
What is going on here?
Liu Xing is completely puzzled and has no idea what’s happening.
But unless sothing unexpected happens, the criminals who have stolen the bodies twice are probably not the sa group, and one of them is likely to be a mber of the Cult of the Cadaver.
