Directorate of Heresy Risk Management

Bai Liu's tongue moved in his mouth, the cold coin moving slowly under the thin mucous membrane of his tongue, and with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, he looked calmly out the small window at the fearful eyes of the investigator guarding him.

Lorries with huge, heavy metal tailgates sped down the deserted road at night, followed by several other vehicles, heading for a huge, domed, stadium-sized, white building in the middle of the moor.

------

The interior of the dome was smooth and silvery white, cast tightly in a shiny metal that reflected the light, each side was like a mirror, huge lamps hung like suns in the center, cold white light reflected harshly off the walls and then shot in all directions, and all the people coming and going inside wore dark colored goggles.

And while those who swooped in to arrest Bai Liu under the guise of investigators had skillfully put on goggles before entering the huge building, Bai Liu, whom they had tied up with metal chains, had no goggles to wear.

In this high brightness light without goggles and open your eyes, it takes only a second or two for the human eyeballs will lose their normal visual function, only see some light spots, and long time staring will even have the effect of snow blindness, which will make people's eyeballs burned by the light and go blind.

Bai Liu originally wanted to take a look at the inner structure of this peculiar building to facilitate running away later, but this kind of high-intensity light and architectural structure is obviously to prevent people like him who want to escape from memorizing the road map.

In this light, the human eyeballs are incapable of seeing anything at all, let alone memorizing a route.

Bai Liu momentarily gave up the idea, and he obediently closed his eyes as he was tugged forward by the others.

The men eventually put Bai Liu in a small, gray metal room of roughly square construction, not too high, with a table and two benches, a bright lamp on the table, and a small window in the wall the size of the one Bai Liu had seen in the car, through which Bai Liu could hear voices coming from outside:

"Reporting to the Vice-Captain of the Third Detachment! The squad has successfully captured the high-risk humanoid heretic with proposed code 006!"

"No one went mad on this mission! No one was compelled by the heretics to commit suicide! No one was physically mutilated by the heretic's physical attacks! Because Team Tang preset the heretic as a red high-risk heretical monster, capturing this heretic deployed 5 modified armored vehicles, 17 tube-contained guns and a straight barrel, 33 members of the third detachment, and so far there has been no personnel or weapon depletion, the mission has been successfully completed!"

A gentle male voice said, "Trouble team, I'll interrogate the rest of the information about this captured humanoid heretical thing myself."

That reporting voice was a bit anxious: "Captain Su, what's your hurry, you're with Team Tang! He has a higher anti-defense, and it's also Team Tang's single-minded advocacy to forcefully capture this heretic tonight, it's too dangerous for you to face such an unknown heretic on your own."

"Where's Team Don?"

That gentle voice went a little subtly cold, and the man addressed as Team Su seemed to sigh a little in disappointment, "After going on a rampage tonight and telling us to go catch heretics, he went drinking again, and is now drunk somewhere, and the phone can't be reached to get someone to go look for him."

"...... Team Tang went drinking again?!" That team member's voice carried incredulity, "How could he do this? This mission tonight was the one where he used his captain's privilege to force us to arrest these heretics before thoroughly investigating them! Didn't Team Tang say that he would personally handle it? Why did he go get drunk again?!"

"This is also not the first time he got carried away with his excitement and had the detachment go to some very strange place to catch a monster out of the blue." Captain Su let out a bitter laugh, "He drunkenly looks at anyone as a monster, but using the captain's prerogative is still the first time, tonight he that seriously gave this humanoid heretic called Bai Liu very specific and exact information, I thought he was really checking it out and then wanted to do it, and now look at the situation, maybe the person is an innocent ordinary citizen ......"

"I'll go in first and see what's going on."

With that, the metal door in Bai Liu's cubicle was pushed open.

The visitor was a man in his thirties wearing a proper police uniform, with a protective mask and brown leather gloves, with a gentle and modest face, with a body measurement of more than one meter eight, with a pair of grayish yellow or light amber soft eyes, with hair that seemed to have not been taken care of for some time, and hanging half-long on the two sides of his face, with eyes that seemed to be a little greenish-black because of staying up all night, but the whole thing was clean and neat, and it seemed to be a man that was relatively good at maintaining his living conditions in the midst of a high-intensity workload. But overall clean and tidy, seems to be a man in the high intensity of work is still relatively good at maintaining their own living conditions, the first glance looks affinity is sufficient, is very easy to let people drop their guard type.

Bai Liu's eyes landed on the identification tag he had clipped to his right breast pocket: [Dangerous Heresy Handling Department, Third Detachment Vice-Captain - Su Yang].

Su Yang gave a gesture to Bai Liu to sit down, after Bai Liu sat down Su Yang noticed Bai Liu's gaze lingering on his ID card, he nodded his ID card and looked up to Bai Liu to explain helplessly, "Perhaps you won't believe this comrade who was violently captured, even though we are a civil organization, but the Department of Dangerous Heresy Handling is an organization that has been established in every country in the world, specializing in dealing with such issues."

Bai Liu raised his eyes nonchalantly to Su Yang and did not answer.

Su Yang The look of helplessness on his face became heavier: "It's like this, as much as it may sound like bullshit, but at a time when a lot of the general public didn't realize it, at some point in time, a lot of existences appeared in this world that were completely unexplainable by human scientific common sense, just like monsters, we call these unknown monsters that came from nowhere heretics. "

"Some of these heretics can compel people to go insane, some can suck the flesh and blood out of people, and in order to deal with these dangerous heretics that can harm the general public, a special department, the Heresy Disposal Department, was created, and these people who arrested you tonight are members of this department."

Bai Liu lifted his eyelids, "What does that have to do with me? Do I look like a heretic?"

Instead of answering Bai Liu's words directly, Su Yang pulled out a remote control from the table in front of Bai Liu and pressed it gently against the wall, a white screen slowly landed on the wall, and a projector appeared on the opposite side of the room and began to project and play PPTs on the screen:

[Dangerous Heresies Section]

Su Yang looked at Bai Liu : "Let me explain to you what I just said before I talk to you specifically about your situation, I just talked about how we are in charge of dealing with these heretics that have suddenly appeared in this world, our department has existed for a long, long time, but up until now, we still don't have any idea where these heretics are coming from, but they just appearing, in all sorts of weird and scary poses, people, animals, and objects."

Su Yang pressed the remote control and the PPT projected on the white cloth appeared to switch screens.

He continued, "These heretics have terrible power enough to destroy us, remember the Mirror City bombing that happened?"

The image on the PPT is a photo of the antique mirror Bai Liu saw in "The Last Train", surrounded by a few people wearing the same type and color of uniform as Su Yang, who are frowning as they seriously survey and measure the mirror.

Su Yang said, "This is the mirror in the Mirror City bombing, after the bombing, many people began to question how someone could bring a bomb on the subway in plain sight, security checks do not work, at that time our public announcement was that the thieves hid the bomb in the shareholders' mirrors, we were scolded for almost a month, saying that we can say anything to push the pot, and that we could say anything to push the pot out of the window! , the mirror that size and thickness, there is no way to hide the bomb that blew up a workshop."

He pressed the remote again, and the picture on the screen changed to another one, the same group of men in uniform, the same group of men who were pulling an immense, unbelievably large black bomb out of a mirror with a shocked expression, a completely anti-space and anti-common sense image.

"But that's just the way it is." Su Yang turned to Bai Liu, "The mirror shattered in the explosion, and it took us quite a bit of work to piece it back together from the subway station where the accident occurred, and after it was recovered, we did a lot of tests and experiments on the mirror, and we found out that it's like a folding point in space, and that it's possible to take things out of it that are far larger than its own size and there was no way for what was put in there to be detected by any of our known rays or devices."

"Then under our long term experiments and tests, we found that this mirror not only stores items, but also has a certain function of mental materialization, if our experimenters gaze at this mirror for a long time, the things in this mirror will change from bombs to the last thing they want to see at that time."

"In our investigation after the fact, we found that the reason why the object in this mirror was a bomb before was because the thieving brothers didn't want this mirror that they had gotten so hard to get to break very much, and they were afraid of anything that could break this expensive mirror and stared at it day and night, and ultimately their fear converged into a bomb stored in the mirror, which eventually exploded in the train exploded on the train."

The screen on the PPT continues to switch, this time to a picture of a set of instructions:

[Heretic Shelter Item Name]: Mo Fei Mirror of Theory

【No.】：CEDT-0714

【Report】: found in a large explosion, the recovery of debris in the process of finding the train in a kind of unstoppable, the train exploded an hour before the loop subway line in the loop (the line is not a loop), was confirmed to find that the explosion of the people died in the explosion of the fear of death projected on the shattered mirrors within the shards of these passengers on this train were afraid of the train could not get out of the explosion of the imminent train, and therefore the mirrors on the Reflecting the unstoppable cycle of explosions ......

...... After recycling all the lenses, no repair is needed, the pieces put themselves together into normal mirrors, and you can't find any signs of shattering after putting them together ......

...... Tested that staring for more than seventeen minutes converts the object in the mirror into something the gazer fears ......

[Method of Accommodation]: Placed in the ground at a depth of 17 meters, wrapped in polyethylene dark-colored fabric to protect it from light, and requiring the consent and permission of three branch vice-captains or the consent and permission of one head captain to enter the CEDT-0714 accommodation room to inspect it.

[Hazardous level]: Light level red

"Of course after our experiments the stuff contained in this mirror is no longer a bomb." Su Yang joked with a slight smile, "We had an experimenter who hates spicy food very much stare at this mirror after eating extra spicy hot pot on one side, and after an hour, all the stuff stored in this mirror was devilishly spicy hot pot base."

Su Yang continued to play down the screen of the PPT: "You've seen that case of mushroom poisoning in the orphanage that happened a while ago on TV, right?"

Bai Liu looks up at the wall - on the screen is a picture of a blood reishi, not a photograph, but a hand-drawn one.

"We took over this case in the mid-term, and investigated that those investors back then were most likely related to this kind of stuff, which is said to be able to cure all diseases, but unfortunately there were no concrete clues." Su Yang smiled shallowly, seemingly meaningfully swept a glance at Bai Liu, "But you say coincidence, this morning all of a sudden someone exposed a big gift package of clues to us, and the members of the second team have already gone to arrest someone."

The screen on the PPT continued down to a small surveillance video of a hospital room.

The video shows Bai Liu visiting a small child in a hospital bed, who quickly recovers after Bai Liu leaves and then turns his head to look at the door of the hospital room where Bai Liu left and whispers "thank you".

Bai Liu gently tsked in his heart when he saw this scene.

Thinking he's going to roll over.

"We did a vomit and fecal examination of this little comrade's throat with a cotton swab after you left, and found that there was indeed a very peculiar mycelium remaining." Su Yang pulled a thumb-sized glass vial from her right breast pocket, in which a blood-red mycelium had been placed with fixative.

He looked up straight at Bai Liu, "Comrade Bai Liu, there weren't any outsiders visiting these children that day except you, and these children got better after you came, can you explain where these mycelium came from?"
