Chapter 25: Adjudication and Questioning

……

There was a window here.

Light shone into the front of where Huaiyou was from the small window on the side.

And now that Huaiyou sat down, he clearly saw that he hadn't noticed it just now.

Behind the middle-aged man, there was actually a dark red pattern; it was a round symbol, on which was drawn an octopus twisting its tentacles; this was an extremely grotesque painting style, the octopus tentacles twisting exaggeratedly, almost filling the entire round pattern.

And below this octopus, three words were written in an ancient font.

Huaiyou couldn't help but feel a burst of murderous aura after just one look?

This seemingly simple and ordinary font seemed to have great power.

【Judgment Bureau】

Huaiyou couldn't help but read it out lightly.

But at the same time, his heart was also complaining.

"Such a chuunibyou name, who thought of this."

When Huaiyou finished saying this, he didn't notice that the three people present seemed to have clearly heard his complaint, and the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.

Not long after—

Huaiyou's eyes fell on an ID card next to this middle-aged man's seat: 【Judgment Bureau First Detachment Captain—Zou Zhihua】

Subconsciously, Huaiyou's gaze looked at the man and woman standing next to him again.

Their ID cards were on their clothes.

Man: 【Judgment Bureau First Detachment Member—Lin Zhiqi】

Woman: 【Judgment Bureau First Detachment Sub-detachment Captain—Xu Yien】

Soon, the middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for Huaiyou to finish observing the surroundings; slowly, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Huaiyou again with a strange gaze.

"Young man, have you ever heard of that kind of department that specializes in researching some supernatural phenomena or peculiar cultures? I believe you can also roughly see that we are actually a regular national department."

Huaiyou nodded, seeming a bit curious: "Heard of it, but this is also my first time seeing it; since you say so, then I have to believe it; after all, looking at your uniform and the logo on the side, it seems to be true."

"Young man, you are more interesting than I thought, but sometimes I... don't like such interesting people." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and what flashed in his gaze was a kind of elusive light.

"Whether you like it or not, what does it have to do with me? I didn't force you to like me, and after all, I'm just a high school student." Huaiyou felt a bit inexplicable.

"Hahaha, good, you dare to talk to me like this, you have actually surpassed most people."

And the man and woman next to him, that is, Lin Zhiqi and Xu Yien, when they saw Huaiyou dare to talk like this at this time, although he looked like he didn't know fear because he didn't know—

But the two of them still had cold sweat dripping down instantly.

And only those who were truly inside the Judgment Bureau truly knew what the name Zou Zhihua represented.

The middle-aged man slowly shook the cup in his hand, the tea inside seemed to have long since cooled down.

A smile hooked at the corner of his mouth: "Let's end the small talk here."

Looking at Huaiyou meaningfully, Zou Zhihua pointed slowly toward the top of his head, and finally turned to the pattern behind.

"This is the team emblem of our Judgment Bureau, representing the deep-level strange power we are fighting against; these things are too troublesome to explain, and to a certain extent, relying on you now, you might not be able to understand, but what I want to say is, although you can't understand, those things are real, and our existence is to fight against those things, so we established such a regular department, and we are the only one in the country; our power and even the scope of our leadership might far exceed your imagination."

Huaiyou scratched his head.

Although he knew more or less about this kind of thing, knowing that there would be some hidden special departments, of course, this is actually a public secret that even ordinary people would know.

However, what exactly those departments are responsible for, how many people there are, these things could absolutely not be understood by ordinary people; these are the real secrets designed internally.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet one now?

And looking at it, he is already inside this so-called Judgment Bureau?

Judging from their ID cards, the status doesn't seem to be low?

Huaiyou naturally had no understanding of these things in front of him, and even hadn't heard of them at all before.

So now, facing the things the other party said, he was obviously a bit confused for a while.

However, Huaiyou wasn't stupid.

If this kind of thing that can be completely counted as a secret is said to him like this now, the other party's purpose might not be that simple.

Zou Zhihua's expression changed again, seeming to see that Huaiyou had no great interest in what he said.

But soon, Zou Zhihua returned to calm; he took out a remote control from the drawer and pressed it lightly.

Huaiyou was surprised to discover that the desktop in front of him was originally very flat, but there was a screen that was a full 14 inches displayed.

A small video appeared on the screen.

The picture was very clear; although it could be seen that this was a dark environment, the things displayed in the picture could also be seen clearly.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was Xu Yien's exaggerated long legs and hot figure; this looked like an enclosed, dim place.

But when Huaiyou saw this place, his pupils expanded slightly for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Because he recognized this place.

This was clearly the position at the very top of the girls' dormitory building, which was also the position he had been to.

And in this video, which was obviously a recording, there were messy bloodstains on the ground, as well as two sharp mirror fragments, all covered in bloodstains, one of which was also wrapped with two circles of clothes.

And not far away, an extremely strange, pitch-black coffin appeared.

As the video progressed, what was presented on the coffin were extremely strange patterns; twisted patterns were almost densely packed everywhere on this coffin.

And what followed was a conversation.

The voice that appeared at the beginning was a man: "That kid wouldn't be in this coffin, right?"

Xu Yien in front closed her eyes at this time, then opened them again quickly, and then answered: "It's estimated that it should be in here, I can also feel that there is indeed someone inside; is it recording already? Then start the reporting video."

"Okay." The man answered.

Subsequently, the picture shifted, and a man's face appeared in the picture; this seemed to be a normal effect of the recording equipment.

Huaiyou took a look; the young man standing next to the middle-aged man was the one who appeared in this video.

"Judgment Bureau First Detachment Member Lin Zhiqi, reporting the mission progress here, the other one is Judgment Bureau First Detachment Captain Xu Yien."

After saying this, the picture shifted back again.

Xu Yien nodded: "I am Xu Yien, currently in the key node of the mission; next, I will pause the verbal report and switch the picture; the recording will record our conversation normally."

Finally, the picture shifted again.

It was aimed directly at that coffin.

"Temporarily didn't feel the dangerous fluctuation appearing in this coffin, the surrounding environment magnetic field is also quite normal, now I will open this coffin." This was Lin Zhiqi's voice.

Soon, following the action of moving forward.

After the picture shook slightly, a strong hand tried to push on the coffin, but found that this huge coffin didn't move at all.

Lin Zhiqi said: "The coffin is nailed shut, it should be able to be opened."

"Then open it directly, let's see what's inside." Xu Yien answered.

After a brief conversation—

Lin Zhiqi didn't know where he took out an extremely large flat-headed tool and directly inserted it into the gap of the coffin forcefully; after a few efforts, the coffin nail was forcibly pulled out, and then the coffin loosened; it looked like a light push would open it.

Xu Yien stepped back, seemingly vigilant.

Lin Zhiqi subsequently went up; to this extent, naturally, he had to open it and see.

Finally, with one effort, the lid of the coffin was pushed open directly.

The picture changed slightly again.

And this time, it was very obvious that Xu Yien, who was holding this recording equipment, saw the scene in the coffin and shook.

That picture stopped eerily at this moment.

It seemed that the recording ended here.

But the last picture was still clearly presented on this screen.

This was an extremely strange and eerie scene.

In that black coffin that was more than two meters long, a person was lying quietly.

That person was wearing a white mask on his face.

There was fresh blood on the mask, and the corners of the mask's mouth were like smiling and crying.

This person had a ferocious hole in his chest, looking like it went straight to the heart, and the clothes on his body had almost been completely dyed red by fresh blood.

The skin exposed outside, his arms almost didn't have a complete place, all were strange crisscrossing wounds.

The most terrifying thing was that facing these wounds that a normal person had absolutely no chance of surviving, he still had breathing!

His hands were placed on his chest, calm and peaceful, and even to a certain extent, his posture was like hugging someone.

The picture stopped at this moment.

Zou Zhihua turned to look at Huaiyou: "This is when we found you; you, do you have anything to say?"

In Zou Zhihua's eyes, a dangerous terror was brewing.

He just stared at Huaiyou like this.
