Chapter 235: Anxiety, release, mental torture.
Jiao Qingguang is truly remorseful and afraid.
When he first saw the news, he thought that it would be fine as long as the officials took the wanted man back and put him under strict guard.
Despite all this self-congratulation, he still made a lot of mistakes at his mentor's important project meetings, missing chapters and pages of the materials he was supposed to bring with him, and even forgetting the computer with the drug information in the lab.
Fortunately, the mentor's professional ability is not bad, and also has contacts, the project did not go bust.
Seeing that he was so disoriented, the tutor thought that something had happened to him at home and didn't blame him, but only told him to go back and rest.
Jiao Qingguang returned to her dormitory at 4 p.m., wanting to fall asleep but unable to resist checking her cell phone to see if the escapees had been caught.
Who would have thought that the internet would explode with all the noise about Battle Royale?
Jiao Qingguang forced himself to calm down, read all kinds of related comments, and downloaded the Battle Royale video on the net.
After seeing Bai Anyi killing Wei XVI for the twelfth time with a cold face, Jiao Qingguang threw his cell phone away, rushed into the shower and turned on the cold water, rinsing himself violently.
It's over. ...... It's over.
Bai Anyi is crazy.
He was the one who put him in there in the first place, and if he escapes and wants to □□□, then he must be the one to bear the brunt of it!
If he had known, he should not have met Bai Anyi after reporting him!
Jiao Qingguang was stuck in the throat, took a cold shower, fell down on the bed, but still a burst of sweat, not long after the stomach cramps, rolling around on the bed, the sleeping pills and class A globulin inhibitors that had just been drunk with water were all vomited out.
Four white tablets, melted a little by the acid in his stomach, lay in the vomited water, and he looked at them, feeling even more disturbed.
He called and contacted the nearby police station, which was busy.
...... He is not the only one who is worried about his personal safety.
Although she knew her anxiety was pathological, Jiao Qingguang couldn't help herself.
He went to the phone over and over until the operator picked up.
Jiao Qingguang was afraid that she could not make the other party realize the seriousness of the situation because of her lack of clarity, so she had made a draft while waiting.
Following the script, he succinctly explained his relationship with Bai Anyi, focusing on his fear of retaliation and his desire to request protection from the authorities.
The operator really took it seriously, and within five minutes of hanging up the phone, three black sedans pulled up in front of the dormitory building.
Treating the suited and booted, official-looking visitor, Jiao Qingguang was so anxious that he brought on a sobbing voice: "I want to get perfect protection, he ...... Bai Anyi may come to kill me at any time!"
The visitor paced around his quarters and nodded, "Hmm."
Jiao Qingguang s ass shifted uneasily on the bed, "I ...... Then shall we go?"
The visitor waved his hand, "There's no hurry. He knows your quarters are here, right?"
Jiao Qingguang was flustered and short of breath at the mention of this, "Yes ...... yes yes yes, he knows, he has come ...... to cook for me before."
The visitor said, "That is good. You stay here and I will send someone here to protect you."
Jiao Qingguang was anxious when he heard it, leaning forward and trying his best to suppress the panic in his heart: "You ...... are not, please consider my feelings, okay? I initially reported him because he clearly expressed his unwillingness to wear a collar. For the sake of social security considerations, I didn't care about my personal feelings and reported him. How can I say that I have made a small contribution to the public? Now I'm afraid of retaliation from him, can you understand such feelings?"
"Understood, of course we understand." The visitor nodded fervently, "Now also for the sake of public safety, please cooperate with us and stay here while we set up a dragnet to apprehend him."
Jiao Qingguang stood up with a huff and scratched his hair in annoyance, "That means you're going to use me as bait?!"
"After our investigation, he has no relatives other than Chi Jiangyu. If you hadn't called the police, we would have found you quickly. If we had protected you and taken you to a closed location, he would have had nowhere else to go. Is it your pleasure if other social harm is done as a result?"
After stiffening Jiao Qingguang's rebuke, the visitor stood up, straightened his tie, and said without a hitch, "Mr. Jiao, please trust the authorities. We will do our best to protect your safety."
The visitor left four shifters wearing collars in his quarters.
Upon learning of this arrangement, Jiao Qingguang showed great resistance.
A half-sincere, half-false, helpless smile appeared on the visitor's fat, benevolent face, "Mr. Jiao, I'm afraid there's no way for an ordinary person to pose a threat to Bai Anyi. This is for the sake of your personal safety, so I apologize here for any inconvenience."
That's pretty clear.
Either refuse to wait for death or accept surveillance.
Unable to do so, Jiao Qingguang could only accept it through gritted teeth.
Staying in the dormitory with four xenos, the dormitory that was still quite spacious immediately seemed cramped.
The four aliens did not see the outside world, using the toilet to use the toilet, pouring water to drink water to drink, looking at Jiao Qingguang a few want to vomit.
Jiao Qingguang huddled on the bed with no appetite, blocking her mouth with the blanket to keep out the air, disgusted by the acidic, astringent gas in her mouth, but not even daring to take a big breath.
...... What if it's contagious.
He just felt like he was in the same room with a dog with rabies, yet it was the only dog that could keep him safe.
Jiao Qingguang A burst of chicken skin all over his body, the emotions in his chest tumbling, hate can not regret broken intestines.
Why did you meet Bai Anyi in the first place?
If we hadn't known him, if we hadn't struck up a conversation with him, wouldn't none of this have happened now?
At eight o'clock in the evening, his young boyfriend brought home a late-night snack, and when he opened the door and saw four unfamiliar faces, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the porridge he had bought.
Jiao Qingguang suffered from this day's torture, completely forgetting to inform his little boyfriend about this matter, now he even lost the strength to explain, giving up on himself and lying on the bed, letting the alien explain to his little boyfriend.
The young boyfriend briefly learned what happened and ran away in terror on the spot.
It wasn't long before he sent a text message and hurriedly broke up with Jiao Qingguang.
...... just kidding, the boyfriend harmed his ex-boyfriend, and now the ex-boyfriend is back for revenge, and he, the current boyfriend, stays with Jiao Qingguang again, isn't he a ready target?
The boyfriend not only broke up, and in order to get rid of the relationship, the whole thing heard the cause and effect of the edited into an article in the campus BBS post, sent a circle of friends, and even the signature was changed to "Fuck Jiao Qingguang", widely publicized, Jiao Qingguang straight into the mud to go! The company's website has been a great success, and the company has been able to draw a clear line between it and Jiao Qingguang.
Jiao Qingguang slammed his cell phone for the second time this day because of the tidal wave of inquiring text messages that came his way.
Even his mentor asked him what was going on, he wasn't on his game today, was that why?
Even though it was the norm to hate and be wary of shifters in E, it was always dishonorable to betray such a thing, let alone a loved one.
Doing it on the sly is fine, but once it's put on the table, it's really, really hard to say.
Jiao Qingguang's cell phone was broken.
He nestled into his bed for the rest of the night.
From that day on, he began a protracted period of waiting and ambivalence.
He both hoped that Bai Anyi would come early and that he would never come at all.
He couldn't stand to be in the same room as a shifter, yet he had to stay with them, even to go to the bathroom and take a shower.
With such emotions at the forefront of her mind, Jiao Qingguang's frequency of taking medication skyrocketed, and her frequency of eating was reduced to one meal a day.
His roommate quickly moves out, and Jiao Qingguang, without someone to talk to and unwilling to talk much to the alien guarding him, can only stare at the wall every day.
He didn't dare to go to the cafeteria for fear of being poked and prodded, and the meals were bought back by the alien.
Before every meal, he had to force the alien to take a bite, otherwise he wouldn't even dare to move his chopsticks.
In less than two days, his entire body had lost a circle of weight.
A week passed, his spirit completely collapsed, he had a high fever, and did not dare to go to the hospital, but could only shrink in the bedroom, pale face on the drip.
Waiting is a hard thing to do, and waiting for death, which you don't know will come someday, is even more torturous.
As time went on, the official in charge of the matter became impatient.
Hearing that he was ill, Fatty White once again came to his dormitory to reassure him, telling him to be at ease, that Bai Anyi was hiding from the official tracking and that there was a high probability that he wouldn't be coming over, and that the implication was that he intended to remove the guards and return them to their normal posts.
Jiao Qingguang only has this little bit of straw left to save his life, so naturally he is pulling it to death and not letting it go.
He was vehement, even to the point of death, and finally kept the man.
However, Fatty White still took away an alien on the grounds that he was short of manpower.
Jiao Qingguang mechanically flips through the news of her country every day, not wanting to, or daring to, read the reviews on foreign websites.
But even in E's own country, where the ecology of shifters is poor, the comments about this matter have flopped frequently.
The nation was able to accept the strict control of the Altered, and could even accept the necessary electroshock treatment for the Altered who refused to be controlled, but the genocidal behavior of Battle Royale was something that no one other than the hunting enthusiasts would applaud and applaud.
As a result, Jiao Qingguang only dares to pay attention to the official news reports on the attack and tracking of the escapees, hoping that one day there will be a sudden news report on Bai Anyi's arrest, or simply on his killing for resisting arrest, and he will be able to live his life in peace, instead of living every day with his plastic lunch box and pills, and not daring to open the window even a little bit.
And so, half a month passed.
During that time, Fatty White used the excuse to transfer another alien.
Jiao Qingguang vaguely smelled a trace of unusual odor from his attitude, but did not think much about it.
However, the situation has subtly changed again.
This change first appeared in News.
Wanted information that was suddenly canceled one day.
The TV channels that used to follow the progress of the hunt for the escapees have actually started presenting new paleontological documentaries on the same phenomenon of explosive biological evolution in the middle of the Jurassic period.
Jiao Qingguang, who has successfully suffered from Bai Anyi PTSD, saw the word Jurassic and almost smashed the TV set.
The shifter in charge of guarding him had known he was a nervous wreck and had hastily changed the station to avoid trouble.
The new channel is showing an entertainment program.
Jiao Qingguang grabbed the remote control and switched channels one by one.
Several major channels, none of which were focusing on the hunt for the shifter.
Three of the channels, all of them, were showing old documentaries on biological evolution.
Jiao Qingguang The hand holding the remote control was shaking badly.
No longer wanted, is it a catch?
...... is not correct.
No, no, no.
If Bai Anyi was caught, wouldn't it be more important to publicize it so as to give everyone peace of mind?
He changed the channel to the international channel and found that the country that first enacted the bill for the control of aliens had actually begun voting on amending the bill yesterday.
Revisions were normal, and every year there would be revisions to the bill. This country was the first to promulgate the bill related to aliens, and the legislation of other countries will, more or less, draw on the initial bill.
But this revision changed a seemingly commonplace provision.
--The revised bill advocates changing the object that distinguishes a psychic from an ordinary person from the highly iconic collar to a bracelet.
An inexplicable apprehension surrounded Jiao Qingguang.
He lay back on the bed and stared straight up at the ceiling.
He felt that something was wrong with the situation.
Even if Bai Anyi's escape from prison gave the shifters an excuse to cause trouble, why would they pick this time to amend the bill and also loosen their jurisdiction over the shifters?
The day of true judgment came exactly one month after Bai Anyi escaped from prison.
There was only one alien left to accompany him, and that one remaining had a much lighter attitude, playing with his cell phone to himself and not paying any attention to Jiao Qingguang's movements at all.
Because of excessive stress, Jiao Qingguang a large number of hair loss, bleeding gums serious, this day, as usual, he spit a mouthful of toothpaste foam full of blood into the sink, the mood is extremely bad to sit at the table, ready to take advantage of an empty stomach to take the daily suppression of the medicine must be taken.
He glanced at the TV, and just as he turned his eyes away, his whole body winced violently.
Jiao Qingguang thought she was mistaken.
But when he fixed his eyes on the TV and realized that it was indeed Bai Anyi's face, it was like a chopstick flicking his little tongue, causing him to almost vomit right out of his mouth.
...... He is holding a conference at the TV news channel with the highest viewing audience in E....
The face is still the same face, deep red thin turtleneck sweater set off Bai Anyi's long neck, gold glasses are also replaced with a new pair of glasses, both spirit and beautiful, and now Jiao Qingguang looks in stark contrast.
But Bai Anyi's temperament is a far cry from what it used to be.
It was as if he was a new person in his shell, his chin slightly raised, cool, arrogant, seemingly smiling, it looked like people simply couldn't get to the bottom of it.
No wonder Jiao Qingguang didn't recognize him at first glance.
"...... This is what I found."
Bai Anyi on TV lifts his fingertips and lets a red floating dust appear in the air, which would be impossible to see if the camera didn't give a close-up.
Bai Anyi let that floating dust transfer from his left hand to his right, "All the spores I've collected so far, there are 200,000 in total, enough for 200,000 people ......"
The host next to him shifted his shoulders uneasily, "...... mutation?"
Bai Anyi smiled softly, "No, evolution."
"I don't know how it reproduces." Bai Anyi said, "But I do know that it will only grow. As you can tell from the graph of the growth of the xenos, the number of evolutions has surged in the last year, and I believe that in another three years, the number of xenos will blow up. And there's no way to eliminate them with current technology."
"Including you?"
"Including me. With my powers, I can only capture, not destroy."
Bai Anyi nodded once and clasped his hands together, looking straight into the camera, "It is because of the discovery of this secret that I am escaping from the institution and bringing the truth to the public. The reason why I am willing to come out into the public eye is that as the first discoverer of this secret, I want to reach a reconciliation with the authorities, resolve misunderstandings, and work together to usher in a better future for human evolution."
Jiao Qingguang in front of a TV screen, jaw-dropping.
