I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 576 - 542: Remnants of the Deep Sea

Jiang Xiao’s eyes were burning as he stared at the rescue teams.

It couldn’t just be the people from the coastal city who are damned, right?

There must be so elents and reasons behind it.

The face of the rescue team captain grew increasingly pale under Jiang Xiao’s questioning, his gaze flickering, clearly burdened with sothing he found hard to express.

The atmosphere inside the carriage beca even more oppressive.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"Captain, you know we’re all here to resolve this crisis."

An old man spoke softly yet firmly.

"If you have any key information, you should share it with us, as it’s concerning everyone’s safety."

The rescue team captain swallowed hard, clearly after an internal struggle, finally compromising under the old man’s gaze.

"Actually..."

His voice was deep, as if he was trying hard to suppress his inner panic.

"Before this virus outbreak, the organization received so reports of anomalies in coastal areas. It was said that fishern had discovered so... unconventional biological remains and so unidentified marine phenona."

He paused, then added that he was previously just a clerk, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to see those docunts.

And there were regulations, of course, forbidding the disclosure of a single word about such matters.

"Guys, please don’t spread this around, or I’m definitely done for!"

Jiang Xiao gestured for him to stay calm, questioning why they would go around spreading it for no reason?

"Actually, if the opponent had a physical form, it would be less frightening..."

Jiang Xiao’s words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

They were just afraid that the presence behind the scenes was sothing abstract like a "god."

The people inside the carriage began to murmur amongst themselves, realizing the situation was possibly more complex than imagined.

"These biological remains and marine phenona... are they related to the virus?" Jiang Xiao pressed anxiously.

The rescue team captain hesitated for a mont before finally revealing the truth.

"The organization suspects that the virus’s transmission might not rely be through air and contact, but potentially related to the ocean as well; these anomalous biological remains might be so kind of interdiate host of the virus, or..."

Before he could finish, the atmosphere inside the carriage had already turned icy.

"Or what?" the old man pressed.

The rescue team captain took a deep breath and finally disclosed the shocking reason.

"Or the anomalous creatures in the ocean could be the source of this virus."

In an instant, the air in the carriage seed to freeze.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with incredulity; it was like a sci-fi plot happening in real life.

A highly intelligent non-human race erging from the ocean?

Though, on second thought, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

After all, humanity has explored only 5% of the ocean, yet even this small portion is enough to keep humans researching for a long ti.

This was on planet Blue Star.

It’s likely that the ocean in this bizarre world is even more vast.

The ergence of so fantastical species could be accepted.

"You an this virus possibly originated from those anomalous creatures?"

There was a trace of unease in Jiang Xiao’s voice.

The rescue team captain nodded, his expression grave.

"We still can’t be certain, but all signs point to this possibility. We have collected so samples and are conducting analyses."

The people in the carriage fell silent; the news was too shocking, too hard to accept.

If this were true, then they faced not just a viral outbreak but a potential biological disaster connected to unknown marine creatures.

"Wait!"

Jiang Xiao furrowed his brows and continued to press the rescue team captain.

"Sothing doesn’t add up, right?"

"Uh, what doesn’t add up?"

Jiang Xiao organized his thoughts before slowly speaking.

"What do these anomalous biological remains look like? Can I see a photo?"

The rescue team captain shook his head, not having the ans to get the photos.

"I don’t have photos. What do you an doesn’t add up?"

"You said that before the virus outbreak, these anomalous biological remains were found in coastal areas, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xiao watched him with a cold smile, slowly speaking.

"Then I don’t understand; if these anomalous creatures are carriers of the virus, why would they die and beco skeletons? Could it be that they used a suicide attack, willing to die just to take the people of this world down with them?"

Huh?

It does seem that way?

The other people in the carriage had also noticed this crucial point.

"And, you’ve carefully examined those skeletons, haven’t you?"

"Mm, yes."

"The bacteria on the skeletons, is it the sa species as those from normal virus infections?"

"No, it isn’t..."

"Then on what basis do you assert that these skeletal creatures are the source of the virus?"

The rescue team captain was utterly speechless.

Unexpectedly, in just a few sentences, this man discovered so many flaws.

"So, what is the truth? You’re still hiding sothing from , aren’t you?"

The captain swallowed hard, cold sweat forming on his forehead, and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

Everyone in the carriage was now waiting for the captain to speak, waiting for him to tell the truth...

The captain’s gaze turned evasive, and he tightly pressed his lips as if finally making a decision, finally opening his mouth, but with resolute firmness in his tone.

"I have told the truth; this is everything I know. Beyond that, I genuinely know nothing."

Jiang Xiao furrowed his brow; he could feel the captain’s fear but also saw his persistence.

In this situation, further pressing seed unlikely to yield more information.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at the others in the carriage, who also appeared sowhat helpless.

At that mont, his gaze fell upon Shi Shi, who was using a "leave it to " look on him.

Jiang Xiao smiled gently, nodded, and signaled that Shi Shi could proceed.

Shi Shi stepped forward lightly, a playful smile curling on her lips.

An aura that made people’s hearts tremble emanated from her, making the rescue team captain involuntarily tense up.

"Captain, it seems you need a bit of... special encouragent to tell the truth."

Shi Shi’s voice carried a hint of teasing as she slowly approached the captain, seemingly enjoying the process.

The captain’s face grew paler, a flicker of panic passing through his eyes.

"I... I really don’t know anything. You all..."

Shi Shi ignored his protests, gently patting her chest with an air of confidence in her voice.

"Don’t worry, I have my ways. You just need to be honest, and I won’t make things difficult for you."

Her eyes were sharp like knives, and her pupils, at so unknown point, had turned jet black, staring directly at the captain as if trying to see through his soul.

Two cute animal ears appeared particularly bewitching.

The captain’s lips trembled, seemingly struggling over whether he should hold firm or not.
