white night syndrome

Chapter 171 139. Investigation Progress
Li Ming squeezed the envelope in his hand, staring closely at the writing on it, as if he wanted to see some clues from each writing.

"Professor Shirai?"

Li Ming muttered to himself, he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Li Ming took a deep breath and put the envelope into his arms. He knew that now was not the time to think about these things and he had to act immediately. He straightened his clothes and left his room quickly.

Shangying University is not far from Li Ming's residence, just pass through a small forest and take a winding path to get there.Li Ming was walking on the path, thinking about Professor Bai Jing all the time.

"Who is this Professor Shirai, and why did he suddenly appear in my world?"

Li Ming was full of doubts, he vaguely felt that this matter was related to the events in the new world mentioned in those reports.

After casually searching on his mobile phone, Li Ming found out that he is an excellent researcher who established various theories when his qualifications were still relatively young. Recently, he seems to be immersed in the existence of different worlds, or this world is a computer simulation program. Research on the occult direction of the world in the class.

After walking through the grove, Li Du finally came to the entrance of Shangying University. This university is a well-known university in China. It is located in the center of the city, with beautiful scenery and shady trees.

Li Ming and the man who called himself Sato came to the office where Professor Shirai was. It was a quiet hut, and the sunlight shone through the windows, making the room very warm.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young female assistant asked politely when she saw Li Ming standing at the door.

"I'm looking for Professor Shirai."

In the blink of an eye, like waking up from a dream, the scene in front of me was reduced to ashes.

And Professor Shirai's room in front of him was lit, there was no answer when he knocked on the door, the door was not locked, and it could be opened with a light pull...

As soon as he entered the room, a strong, indescribable odor filled the young man's nostrils. Then he could see a man in a white coat lying on the floor in the center of the room. The man was lying in a pool of blood. The incision was made, and part of the skull was removed.

Taking a closer look, the brain that should have been inside has disappeared, and the two seem to have been greatly shocked.

According to the vague memory, this person seems to be that Professor Shirai, but why did it become such a scene?It's an unbearable feeling of fear.

On the table in the back of the room is a laptop computer screen with black and white letters on it, welcome to the new world, and beside the computer is a wonderful cylindrical metal container.

Then a mechanically synthesized voice came out from the cylindrical metal container, talking to the two of them.

"You are finally here. I don't know if you have thought about it. This world seems to be like a computer simulation program created by a higher dimension."

"They have the power to make this world run according to their wishes. We are completely powerless in front of them, but that existence has a certain seed program. He wants to transcend the realm of the dimension and include the outside world own domination."

"What a wonderful thing this is. In this way, the laws of the world can be subverted and rewritten, which means that we will become gods."

After saying so much, the voice began to become intermittent, and Li Ming noticed that Sato beside him seemed to have not heard these words at all.

Careful inspection of the cylindrical container reveals a crimson liquid inside, dripping from the lid.

Open the lid, and there is a human brain floating in it, making people sick.

The two people who found the body would of course notify the police. After a while, the police who should have been notified to check the scene arrived, so both of them were taken by the police to hear the details of the incident.

"By the way, tell me your name and address first. Can you tell me about the state of the body discovery? After all, why did you two visit Professor Shirai?"

"It's a letter..." Li Ming paused, then immediately changed his words, "It's like this, I'm a student of Professor Bai Jing, and I haven't seen my mentor for so many years, so I have some regrets and came here to visit the school He just didn't expect the final ending to become such a scene, which is regrettable."

"Really?" The young policeman in front of him had a playful attitude, with a strange expression on his face.

"Mr. Police Officer, this guy just lost his memory this morning, so don't make things difficult for him." Sato pursed his lips, and he finally opened his mouth after he hadn't spoken.

"Oh? No memory? That was really hard work, so that means, you don't remember what you did before yesterday, right?" The young policeman raised his eyebrows and looked the two of them up and down.

This naked gaze made them feel uncomfortable.

"After the forensic examination, Professor Shirai died because the back of his head was taken out, and we found a suspected brain in the cylindrical container in the room."

The policeman deliberately slowed down his tone and spoke softly.

"In addition, whether he put it in the computer or on his desk, in short, his research materials seem to have been stolen, so do you have any clues?"

"Officer, please don't be so weird. My friend and I really just went to visit Professor Shirai. As soon as we entered the office, we found such a scene. It's disgusting, but at the same time, we have to answer your vexatious questions." The question is, is this the attitude of your police towards the Japanese people?" Sato vomited.

"Don't use these moral evaluations to restrain me. I didn't even say anything to criticize. If you are so anxious, does it mean that you have serious suspicions?"

The policeman changed the subject and nodded selfishly.

"Actually, this is the case. In fact, I also think that you are not criminals, so...go to die."

With a smile on his face, the policeman drew his pistol and shot at the two without even a moment of refutation. The two were unable to dodge in time, and three bullets were shot into the abdomen in an instant.

Just when the consciousness faded away a little bit, the two regained their senses, and it was still the same room that appeared in front of them.

—they have no memory of how they left the police station.

"Go to rest early, what happened today is really weird and mysterious... It should be fine if you fall asleep?"

Sato suggested, he patted Li Ming on the shoulder, raised the key in his hand and left the room.

Li Ming hadn't recovered from the pain just now, he looked around in a daze, wanting to do something, but couldn't remember what to do, the sleepy instinct drove him to lie back. to bed.

"When God came back to the country, he found himself in a room in an old mansion, and he found that in front of him was an oil painting of a certain campus, and a man sitting on a chair in front of the oil painting , and Sato standing beside him."

"For oil paintings, it's like a layer of mist covering his memory, and he can't clearly recognize them."

"When he approached the two of them, he would notice a wonderful thing. The head of the man sitting on the chair was drooping, and the cold water drooped feebly. The red liquid dripped from his fingertips to his feet. A red pool formed."

"The blood was also dripping from the knife Sato was holding. Sato, who noticed Li Ming, turned to him slowly. Sato's face and clothes were stained red by the splashed blood. Afterwards, he showed a creepy smile and stared at him. looking at the young man in front of me."

Li Ming woke up from the dream, but found that it was already [-] o'clock in the morning, and just about to get up, there was another sound of picking the lock outside the door.

You don't need to look to know that Sato is back.

"How about you, how about a night's rest?" Sato raised the plastic bag in his hand and put it on the table beside him, "I bought you breakfast, it's your favorite from the nearby ramen shop, get up and brush your teeth Then let's go out together."

"Go out? Where to go?"

Li Ming squinted his eyes, and looked up at the strange man in front of him. In his memory, he seemed to have only a vague impression of this man. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a book with a black cover, and the sentence "I used to It was white, but now it's almost turning black."

Li Ming didn't know what this sentence meant, but he believed that the man in front of him definitely had something to do with his past.

"To investigate those new world events, you can't give up halfway, my dear Li Ming."

Sato laughed, seeing that Li Ming had already brushed his teeth, he immediately took out the disposable chopsticks from the plastic bag, opened them affectionately, and handed them to the young man in front of him.

"Right, right, I think these events are really interesting... You know, I like to read this kind of speculative novels the most, so I am very sensitive to this kind of subject matter."

"Really?" Li Ming asked suspiciously.

Sato lowered his head, and said sadly and nervously: "Why, why can't you trust me?" Then in the next moment, with a sound of "Puff", Li Ming felt a burning pain from his abdomen. Come.

He moved his hand in that direction, and touched something warm, followed by a sharp pain that made it difficult for Li Ming to stand up.

With a crazy look on Sato's face, he looked down at the young man who fell on the ground. Looking at Sato like that, Li Ming gradually lost consciousness, and then he regained consciousness just as it had been arranged.

Blinking his eyes, he found that Sato still had a concerned expression in front of him. It seems that more and more hallucinations have begun to sweep him recently. What's going on?

"Hurry up and eat, the noodles won't taste good after a while, but I have some opinions about the New World incident." Sato folded his hands and said thoughtfully, "I think these incidents have nothing to do with those... …that is, the books on your shelf have a lot to do with it, and we should be able to get a lot of information from them.”

"Then go find it. Anyway, this room was given to me by my parents, and you were also entrusted by my parents to take care of me. You can move the furnishings here as you like." Li Ming sucked his face vaguely and said.

Sato flashed a complicated look on his face, then smiled relievedly, and went to the bookshelf to fiddle with it.

Not long after, he made a sound of sudden realization.

"I found clues about these new world events, all of which are hidden in these books, all of which belong to the complete works of Lovecraft."

"Tell me?" Li Ming had finished eating the ramen at this moment, interjected and asked with interest.

"The first incident, I got a clue in "The Shadow of Innsmouth," which is set in Innsmouth, Massachusetts, and has a fish-faced monster mixed with the blood of the ocean. Residents appear."

"The second incident comes from "Dreams in the Witch's House". A student who majored in mathematics was corrupted by a dream about a witch driving a human-faced mouse, and eventually lost his life."

"The third incident comes from the "Mountain of Madness". The race that has been immersed in the Antarctic since ancient times buried its fellows in a star-shaped cemetery."

"The last one, Professor Shirai, is the most suitable story for me. The extraterrestrial life form named Migo has the technology to preserve human brains in metal cylinders."

"So these stories are all in line with reality?" Li Ming realized that something was wrong with his words, and squinted his eyes, "Or, no, I mean, reality is all in line with these stories? So among them Is there any connection?"

"It's easy to know, it's what you just said, but why did the suspect bring these stories to reality? And... this kind of work is too heavy to be done by one person, it may be a criminal gang Woolen cloth?"

"It's true to say that, but if we didn't go to the scene to inspect it ourselves, we wouldn't know what the problem is, so let's go to the place where the first incident happened right now." Li Ming threw the paper bowl in his hand into the Trash can, wiped his mouth, and tidied up his clothes.

"I really didn't expect you to be so active. It is indeed a big improvement."

Sato also looked very happy, he waved the key in his hand with some dancing, and walked out of the room with the young man beside him.

The first incident happened at the intersection of the bustling street. Because people come and go very frequently, even if you ask pedestrians, you should not get any effective information.

At this time, Li Ming found a homeless man sitting on the corrugated paper at the corner of the road near the intersection, and he seemed to have been there for a long time, maybe he was the witness of the whole world?

"Hello...can you tell me about the incident that happened here before? Old man." Li Ming talked to the homeless man in front of him in not-so-standard Japanese.

"Ah, you said that, that man has a very ferocious appearance, protruding eyes, thick lips, yes, there must be something wrong with his head..."

"That guy is yelling something, stop, don't make me remember! By the way... ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah hee hee hee hee hee hee..."
