The first mascot of the special department

chapter01

ding ding ding-

The brisk WeChat video call notification sounded at 5 pm, Jiang Yuan turned over impatiently, and fumbled to find the source of the magic sound—ipad, half-opened his eyes, and pressed the end button firmly.

Jiang Yuan turned back habitually, intending to sleep for a while, but the next second, the voice sounded again.Of course he continued to hang up at this time, but he was stunned as soon as he raised his hand.

He remembered that he was dead, but now, a second ago, why was he sleeping?

Do you have to sleep even after you die and become a ghost?

Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.He saw the honey-colored sunlight streaming on the off-white ceiling, and the reflective iron pendant ceiling lights.

This picture is very familiar, very similar to his bedroom.

Jiang Yuan sat up and began to look around.

He is in a spacious room with a simple and beautiful style. There is an oil painting on the wall in the same color as the ceiling. Underneath is a khaki fabric sofa with a salted fish pillow sleeping on it. The bookshelf is against the wall and the basket is low. There are several bags of potato chips and a fruit plate on the coffee table.

This is not like, this is his bedroom.

Jiang Yuan was slightly confused.

He remembered very clearly what happened last night. He went to the kitchen to cut a plate of watermelon and took it back to his room, playing mobile games while eating.After a few games, the phone ran out of battery, so he took out a data cable purchased from Taobao for two yuan, and continued playing games while charging.

Not long after, the phone started to heat up.

Not long after, a strange smell came.

Not long after... the phone exploded.

With a deafening bang, he was rushed to the other side of the room by the air wave. Not only that, but he also clearly felt his chest explode.

After that moment, Jiang Yuan's eyes turned black and his body lost the ability to move, but he didn't lose consciousness immediately. However, he felt that he was going to die in this situation, so he took a moment to think about how the master of ceremonies would behave at the funeral. Introduce yourself:

"This is a poor man who was only 24 years old. He just ended his study abroad career and returned to socialism from capitalism, but he didn't even receive the degree certificate from the school, so he passed away permanently. The cause of death was that the mobile phone was charging. It exploded due to incorrect operation. This story tells us, don’t use non-original, cheap charging cables, and don’t play games while the phone is charging.”

The introduction should also be eloquent and tear-jerking.

but--

But he is fine now, his chest is not blooming, his clothes are not even torn, and his heart is beating regularly, but a little fast.

The sound of a cat begging for food came from the door. Jiang Yuan hadn't licked food for nearly 20 hours. He was very hungry and mad.Outside the window, there were people walking their dogs in the community, which seemed to scare some children, people were crying and dogs were barking, and the parents and dog owners were arguing.

It's all so real, like waking up every morning.

Could it be that I had a dream last night?

Jiang Yuan pinched himself, and there was obvious pain from the pinched place.

Oh, so it's really not dead?

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look for the phone again, but who knew he saw a horrifying scene: a pile of metal debris and a blackened power strip spread out on the bedside table.

???

what is this?Is it true that your phone blew up yesterday?

Jiang Yuan's heart hangs again when he landed, and the "fuck" in his heart can fill the entire screen, but he is born to be the kind of person who is too lazy to make expressions, a typical energy conservationist, even in the face of this situation, his facial muscles are still weak. Mobilized, so superficially appears very calm.

But his hands trembled twice, but in the next second, he was forcibly stopped by himself.

Jiang Yuan reached out to pick up the dead body of the phone, but before he touched it, he suddenly realized another problem: when he just woke up, he felt that the bed seemed a little crowded.

However, he sleeps alone on a 1.8-meter bed, how could it be crowded?

——Could it be that the real Jiang Yuan is already dead, his body is lying on the bed, and the conscious him now is just a ghost?

Such a thought popped into Jiang Yuan's mind.

At this time, the wechat video call notification sounded again.

ding ding ding ding ding-

It's an iPad again.This thing is on the bed, if you want to take it, you will have to turn your head, and you may bump into your own body when you look back, it must be a pretty scary picture; but if you don’t take it——no, there is no such option, the phone is blown up, and it can be used to reply to WeChat messages Only the ipad is available.

As a modern person, how can we give up the last entertainment tool?Jiang Yuan decided to face his "death" directly, and turned his head slowly with a paralyzed face.

Wechat is still ringing, there is no dead body on the bed, but apart from the pillow, quilt and pillow, there is really something more: it is a huge, almost full-length, black, cuboid.

The reason why it is called a cuboid is because Jiang Yuan is not sure what it is.This thing looks very metallic, with complicated and delicate patterns painted on the side facing up, and the side facing the foot of the bed... There is a USB port, a power button, and a row of small lights.

It's fine if it's not a corpse, Jiang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.But two seconds later, he was full of shock again: How did this enlarged version of the wireless charging treasure appear on the bed?It can't be that his parents and brother sneaked in in the middle of the night. No one was home except him yesterday - the door was locked and couldn't be opened from the outside by normal means.

Could it be that it was summoned from the explosion of the iphoneXS and the two-way charging cable?

But how is it possible?The real world is not a graphic novel, hahaha!

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding—

The darkened screen turned on for the fourth time, and the WeChat notification sound came to his ears for the fourth time. Jiang Yuan finally moved his gaze away, and saw that the bright and bright head portrait in the center of the tablet was his mother.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and decided to connect.

The face of his mother, Ms. Gu Shufen, appeared on the screen. Before Jiang Yuan could say "Mom", Ms. Gu Shufen started to speak with her hands on her hips:

"Why did you turn off your mobile phone? Why are you only answering WeChat now? Do you want to have a good time with a date? I tell you there is no way! You just got up? Go and clean yourself up, or—"

Jiang Yuan:?What date?

Jiang Yuan interrupted Ms. Gu Shufen's anger that was about to erupt: "Mom, I don't have a date today."

"You have! Did you forget?" Ms. Gu Shufen suddenly raised her voice, "We agreed a few days ago that you will meet Aunt Liu's daughter at noon today!"

"You arranged a blind date for me?" Jiang Yuan was a little panicked, his face was paralyzed and his face cracked, and he also raised his tone.

"Yes, it's a blind date. Other elementary school students are talking about friends. You are still a bachelor at 24. If you don't go on a blind date, who will be blind?"

"I don't go on blind dates, I've only been back to China for a few days, and I haven't found a job yet!"

"The location of the restaurant has been reserved, and Aunt Liu has also notified you. Your brother has received the task and went back to pick you up. He is probably downstairs by now." Ms. Gu Shufen said in a non-negotiable tone, and she thought about it after she finished speaking. Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity to question:

"You asked brother to escort me?"

"Correct!"

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt suffocated, but his mother didn't give him any chance to refute, and simply hung up the call.

Jiang Yuan originally wanted Ms. Gu Shufen to confirm whether the suspicious object that suddenly appeared on his bed was real, but it was a pity that he didn't have time.

He moved his eyes back to the cuboid that was suspected to be a wireless power bank, and for a moment, he couldn't compare which was better between "the phone exploded and I didn't die and I woke up with something beside me" or being arranged for a blind date. horrible.

The wind blowing outside the window was quite cool, Jiang Yuan blew the wind on the spot for 3 minutes, after 3 minutes, there was a knock on the door, Jiang Yuan's brother came back to escort Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan immediately decided to let his brother take a look at the scene of the mobile phone explosion last night and the suspicious objects that suddenly appeared on the bed.

Jiang Yuan went to the living room and opened the door. Not only did his brother come back, he also carried some sets of clothes in his hand.

This person is a typical type of person who has stepped into the grave of marriage and just wants to drag others into it. Seeing Jiang Yuan still wearing pajamas and a bunch of dull hair on his head, he immediately hates iron and drags him into the bathroom, rubbing and rubbing. Take a shower.

When Jiang Yuan was released, he took on a brand new appearance.

He was already pretty, with long and narrow phoenix eyes and slightly upturned corners of his eyes. His natural curly hair was neatly arranged, and his complexion was fair, exuding a bookish atmosphere. At this time, he was lowering his head to adjust his cuffs. Extending into the collar, the light gray shirt perfectly outlines the upper body line, dark black jeans are worn underneath, and the legs are straight and slender.

It's just that his face is a little paralyzed, and he doesn't bother to make expressions.

"There is still one hour before 7 o'clock, and it takes only 1 minutes to drive from our place to the restaurant, so we will leave in half an hour. Don't mess up your hairstyle before departure!" Jiang Yuan's brother followed behind Jiang Yuan, seriously admonishing him.

Jiang Yuan replied "Okay", walked back to the bedroom and closed the door with his backhand, and yawned on the spot.

He saw the suspicious object on the bed again, it was still covered by his quilt, and it didn't move or disappear.Jiang Yuan quickly opened the door, poked his head out, and called "brother", but saw his brother gave him "the customer's phone number" and went to the balcony with his mobile phone.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and slipped the cat, who was full and stretching, into the bedroom, and approached the suspicious object together, one person and one cat.

He put the cat on the suspicious object, and the cat was curious, stepped on it, sniffed and smelled it.

He picked up the ipad to take pictures of suspicious objects, and suspicious objects also appeared on the screen.

This can prove that the suspicious object is real and not his hallucination.

So Jiang Yuan sat next to the suspicious object and began to study it.

This should be a power bank, after all, it has a USB port, and it is conventional; it feels like a power bank to the touch.Jiang Yuan pressed the power button, and the row of small lights next to it immediately flickered—a sign of low battery.

So Jiang Yuan found the data cable and plug for charging his small, no, mini power bank from the cabinet, and took a lot of effort to move the suspicious object in a direction, and plug it in.

The charging light turns on.

Tsk, is it really a power bank?

Jiang Yuan took three steps back, raised his hand to support his chin, and frowned deeply in thought.

This is really weird, even though his phone was blown into a black ball, but he was fine, not only that, but when he woke up, there was a giant power bank on the bed.

This is unscientific, very unscientific, illogical and unreasonable.

He patted his forehead and walked back to the bed.The giant power bank is 1.8 meters long, and the width is not much wider than the shoulders, which is exactly the same as the body.

Could it be a personal power bank?

This surprising thought made Jiang Yuan raise his eyebrows, and then he made a move—he lay down on it.

After 1 second, nothing happens.

After 3 second, nothing happens.

After 3 minutes, nothing happened.

Five minutes later, the cat spread out into a piece of cake on Jiang Yuan's belly.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yuan fell asleep...

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the bedroom door: "Jiang Yuan, come out quickly, or you will be late if you don't go on a blind date!"

Jiang Yuan sat up startled in his dying dream.

——Sure enough, a blind date is even scarier!He came to this conclusion.

07:20 PM, Basilikum restaurant.

Aunt Liu's daughter, Liu Caiwei, Jiang Yuan's blind date today, has been waiting for 20 minutes. She is wearing a khaki suit with a narrow waist and a very delicate eye makeup. She looks very Korean, but because of waiting The person was late for too long, and his expression was not very good.

Jiang Yuan walked to the designated table, opened the seat, and said, "Sorry for the long wait, I didn't expect such a traffic jam."

Half an hour of sudden sleep didn't mess up Jiang Yuan's hairstyle, and the natural curl on his forehead formed a beautiful arc, shaking slightly with the movement of sitting down.The yellowish light in the restaurant reflected his light gray shirt into a dark color, which made his complexion fairer, his eyes were like lacquer spots, and his lips were light red and moist. Although there was no expression on his face, it was still easy to make people feel good about him.

The impatience in Liu Caiwei's eyes disappeared instantly, and her expression softened: "I also just arrived, and there was a traffic accident on the East Ring Road, and the traffic jam was serious. Let's order."

After speaking, he took a deep breath, looked at the menu from beginning to end, and said to the waiter standing aside: "One salt-baked snow dragon black beef eye is medium rare, one barbecue platter, one cheese baked French fries, Nut salad, strawberry ice cream muffins, durian pizza, Japanese beef rolls, and pumpkin soup for example soup.”

Then he closed the menu with a click and pushed it to the opposite side, "This is what I want, please order, Mr. Jiang."

For some people, he looks calm and polite on the surface, but he is actually in a trance, and he doesn't even see what the girl opposite him looks like, let alone listen to what she ordered.

Jiang Yuan was still immersed in thinking about the giant wireless power bank, and desperately needed something to clear his mind, so he ordered a glass of iced mint water and a Mapo Tofu Beef Donburi (extra spicy).

Liu Caiwei chuckled.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked in confusion.

"The first time I saw someone order extra spicy mapo tofu in a western restaurant on a blind date," Liu Caiwei explained.

"Actually, Ms. Liu didn't come on a blind date voluntarily, did she?" Although Jiang Yuan didn't hear the list of dishes Liu Caiwei reported, he could still infer something from the waiter's non-stop writing notes, "I understand." , Deliberately ordering frantically in front of the blind date is a kind of persuasion tactic."

Liu Caiwei's expression changed, she squinted her eyes slightly to look at Jiang Yuan for a few seconds, and said tentatively: "So since we didn't come here for a blind date sincerely, why not..."

Jiang Yuan: "Why don't you add some French fries, I'm really hungry." He has slept for 20 hours, and his stomach is empty. If he didn't still have some sense, he could eat off the table on the spot.

"I've already ordered it just now, and I ordered a lot. I can't finish it all by myself."

Two people who were also forced to go on a blind date confessed to each other, unanimously let go of all pretense and defenses, did not report their own conditions to each other, did not communicate the criteria for mate selection, and ate dinner harmoniously.

In the middle of the meal, Jiang Yuan keenly noticed that someone was watching their table.

He lifted his eyelids and slammed into a pair of cold eyes that seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

Jiang Yuan looked at that person, and then at the two-person table between him and Liu Caiwei with stacked plates and almost no room, and felt that he had found the reason why this person looked over.

So Jiang Yuan buried his head and continued to eat.

An hour and a half later, the two of them had enough food and drink.

This year's climate is abnormal, it was less than 20 degrees in early May, and it is even worse today. After checking the temperature, it was only 12 degrees at night.The heating in the restaurant was well-heated, and it didn't feel cold in unlined clothes, but when he walked out of the mall and was blown by the wind, Jiang Yuan immediately got goosebumps.

The same goes for Liu Caiwei. She was wearing a skirt, her arms and legs were exposed, and she was so cold that she hugged her arms and kept shrinking.

"Let's call a car first." Jiang Yuan suggested, "Let's take the same car, we will see you off first, and then I will go back."

"Okay, okay." Liu Caiwei nodded hurriedly.

The night view of a bustling city has always been to look at the lights, not the stars above.Street lamps, LED advertising light boards, and neon signboards are colorful, stretching and converging into a torrent, illuminating the sky faintly red.Under such a night, there are row upon row of high-rise buildings, the continuous flow of vehicles, the hustle and bustle of people, and the hustle and bustle everywhere.

"The car is 1.6 kilometers away from us. It's a white Toyota with a license plate number ending in 00." Liu Caiwei looked at the phone and said to Jiang Yuan tremblingly.

Jiang Yuan stood aside with his tablet in his arms, and gave a soft "hmm".

Half a minute later, Liu Caiwei received a call from the driver, saying that he could not turn around on the road ahead, and that it would take about 10 minutes to go to the location marked on the map, and asked if she could get on the bus at another place.

Liu Caiwei naturally said yes, and left immediately after asking where she was.

The place the driver mentioned was on a back street. Jiang Yuan had been there several times before, and there were residential buildings and shops. The traffic flow was not heavy, but it was definitely not deserted. But today, this road is getting darker and darker.

The wind was so cold that the last street light was about tens of meters away. The road we were on was dark and terrifying. Looking forward, we couldn't see the head at all.Liu Caiwei approached Jiang Yuan involuntarily, and whispered: "Why do I feel something is wrong, this street is not usually so dark..."

Jiang Yuan felt the same way: "It's a bit strange. If you want to cancel the order, call the driver and tell the driver that we can't find the location he said."

"Yes, yes." Liu Caiwei nodded hastily, and took out her mobile phone from her bag. Unexpectedly, as soon as she unlocked the screen, something rushed out from the side and hit her, and the mobile phone flew out immediately.

The phone drew a parabola in mid-air, Liu Caiwei chased to pick it up, and with the light on the screen, she suddenly saw a big blood-red eye not far away.

Liu Caiwei froze in place, half a second later, blood red eyes rushed towards her!

"Ah—ghost—" Liu Caiwei was so frightened that she didn't even want her mobile phone, and she backed away screaming while holding her head.

A moment of doubt flashed in Jiang Yuan's heart, and then he realized that Liu Caiwei might have read it wrong. He reached out to support her, and turned on the flashlight of the tablet with the other hand.Something flashed quickly in the darkness, and then the darkness was dispelled by the light: Liu Caiwei's mobile phone was lying quietly on the asphalt road, and there was a swirling and falling leaf in the midair.

"You read it wrong, it's just a leaf." Jiang Yuan said, as a face paralyzed, even if he spoke words of relief, his voice was still flat and unwavering.

"No, it's definitely not the leaves. The eyes of that thing are about the size of the steak plate we are eating tonight." Liu Caiwei was shaking all over, pulling Jiang Yuan back, "My eyesight is very good, my eyes are 5.3, I can't see Wrong. That’s a ghost, if it’s not a ghost, it’s a monster!”

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Jiang Yuan didn't believe it, but he understood the little girl's fear after misreading something in this environment, so he calmly said, "Don't you want your phone yet?"

As they retreated, the light from the flashlight swayed left and right, reflecting the manhole covers, discarded plastic boxes, fallen leaves, and unidentifiable garbage. The wind was silent, and the whole street was quiet, only the two of them.

"I, I dare not go." Liu Caiwei whispered, "I really saw it, I didn't lie to you."

"I'll go, you wait for me here." Jiang Yuan patted Liu Caiwei on the shoulder.

Just as Jiang Yuan took a step, Liu Caiwei reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "No, no, no, in case you...then I'm not...I'll go with you! Let's go with the flashlight!"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, nodded and agreed, and walked half a step in front of Liu Caiwei.

They were about 1.5 meters away from the mobile phone. Generally speaking, they could walk there in four or five steps, and it took only a few seconds. But Jiang Yuan found that they had walked at least twenty steps, but they couldn't reach the mobile phone.

This road seems to be endless, Jiang Yuan had such an absurd thought in his heart.

"Do you still firmly believe in Marxist materialism?!" Liu Caiwei also discovered this, her voice trembling even more.

"It's a psychological reason. I was so nervous that my brain had an illusion." Jiang Yuan forcefully explained with a paralyzed face.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up behind him, followed by something that vigorously knocked Jiang Yuan and Liu Caiwei away who were leaning against each other.

Snapped--

The tablet fell to the ground in response, with its face down and its back up, and the light of the flashlight was shining upwards. Jiang Yuan saw that the thing floating in the air was indeed a blood-red eye—this is not accurate, this thing has the largest area on its body. It is a face, and the face is occupied by huge eyes, the hands and feet are tucked under the face, and there is hair on the head of the face.

Jiang Yuan: "?"

Jiang Yuan and the blood-red eyes looked at each other for two seconds, and began to comfort himself: "It's very three-dimensional and layered, and it can scare people. I used to see this thing often - there is a haunted house next door to where I work. The staff members often do not take off their make-up or clothes, and just come out for a walk with props.”

Just as he spoke, blood red eyes turned around and aimed at Liu Caiwei.

Liu Caiwei ran away, her blood-red eyes shot out like the wind, and she followed behind in hot pursuit.Only then did Jiang Yuan discover that this thing floats directly in the air without the help of external force!

The blood-red eyes are very fast, extraordinary, seeing that Liu Caiwei is about to be overtaken, Jiang Yuan made a decisive decision, picked up the tablet from the ground, threw it at the blood-red eyes, then rushed to Liu Caiwei to pull her up, and ran wildly.

No matter what this thing is, it has no good intentions. In short, run away first.

"Now you don't believe it—" Liu Caiwei howled, her voice shrill and trembling.

"My mother said that since I was a child, my eyes were low. Before I was seven years old, I would always see strange things, and then I had a high fever, which could not be cured! Later, I asked a Taoist priest to do it, and I recognized a person who was said to be able to resolve the evil spirit in my horoscope. , that solved the problem!"

"There are really ghosts and monsters in this world!"

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips and remained silent, his heart beating wildly. The two of them moved forward at a sprint speed, but not long after, the temperature suddenly dropped behind them, and the air-conditioning was faint, as if someone pointed the air-conditioning outlet at them.

Knowing what happened without looking, Liu Caiwei raised her tone by an octave: "It's catching up!" After speaking, she was tripped by something on the side of the road and fell to the ground with a plop.

The thing saw the opportunity and pounced on Liu Caiwei, reaching out to grab her.In a hurry, the girl grabbed the anti-wolf spray from her satchel, and sprayed wildly at the blood-red eyes with a sizzling sound.

The anti-wolf spray had a certain effect of forcing back, but the blood-red eyes were completely irritated and let out a roar.

Jiang Yuan quickly helped Liu Caiwei up, and pushed her behind, "We can't run with this thing."

"Then, what should we do?" Although Jiang Yuan was very frantic in his heart, his expression looked very bluffing, which made Liu Caiwei feel that he had found the backbone, "What can you do? Is it too late to contact the Taoist priest?"

"It must be too late." Jiang Yuan answered her last question.

The blood-red eyes retreated a certain distance, and then slammed at the two people on the ground. In a critical situation, Jiang Yuan couldn't think of any other way, so he decided to take the initiative and punched them out.

There was no unexpected collision sound, but a "Zi la" sounded, and Jiang Yuan raised and lowered his hands and waved an arc of lightning, striking the blood-red eyes impartially on the face.

Then, the blood-red eyes and the whole unknown object went up in smoke.

Then, it fell to the ground with a plop, spread out into a cake-like object, twitched twice, and became silent.

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan maintained his posture, and finally a little shocked expression appeared on his face.
