Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Servant’s Needle (Part 4)_1
There’s actually something like this going on?
Almost instantly, Fu Qian realized it was a pair of handcuffs.
The instinctive reaction of his body made him want to withdraw his hand, but he suppressed the urge.
The reason was twofold: one was that he saw the gun holster on the policewoman’s waist.
Considering his current situation, the risk of violent resistance was undoubtedly a bit high.
On the other hand, from Fu Qian’s perspective, the office had already experienced an anomaly.
The group of people who had been slacking off just a moment ago, looking perfectly normal, were now not only standing up in unison but also staring in this direction with piercing eyes.
Their faces all wore that inhuman, fierce expression, as though they could transform at any moment.
Considering the current situation, if he really got entangled with the police, it was no doubt going to be an exceptionally shocking and outrageous act.
The reaction of this group of people was likely to be far from optimistic.
Therefore, after some contemplation, Fu Qian gave up resisting and let the policewoman handcuff him.
“Stay put!”
After securing Fu Qian’s hands firmly behind his back, the policewoman first uttered a low command, then turned to look inside the office.
“Don’t worry, I have him under control; you are safe now.”
“Thank goodness!”
For a moment, the office filled with sounds of exhalation, their relieved demeanor akin to having sent away some murderous maniac.
So, my task was to hold the fort until the police arrived, and they were here to arrest me?
What kind of O. Henry twist is this!
Mystified by the handcuffing, Fu Qian was recalling the method for dislocating a thumb and silently lamenting to himself.
Moreover, it was clearly a bunch of valuables over here scaring people, and now it was turned around, making him seem like some kind of dangerous individual?
Could it be that in this place, the crime of talking back to a superior was so grave?
It probably wasn’t the case, as from Fu Qian’s angle, he could see that Sato, who had been furious earlier, now appeared to be quite relieved, as if that anger had been completely feigned.
What was the reason for all this?
Regrettably, there was no chance for Fu Qian to verify his thoughts, as the policewoman had already pushed him to the elevator and gestured for him to enter the car.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since there was no indication of a failed mission in his ear, Fu Qian let her manipulate him.
And so, the two of them rode the elevator down to the first floor.
Exiting the elevator, one could see a police car with its engine still running right in front of the building.
In the midst of lightning and thunder, large raindrops fell in torrents, causing the lights of the police car to blink incessantly.
Being pushed through the rain, Fu Qian didn’t need a reminder from the policewoman to consciously slide into the vehicle.
The latter then closed the car door and walked around to the driver’s side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat in the driver’s seat, her cold expression instantly dissolved, followed by heavy gasps for air.
Facing this sudden change, Fu Qian didn’t interrupt but chose to quietly wait by the side.
A few moments later, the policewoman seemed to have finally regained her composure, sat up straight, and after searching her body, threw a key over.
“Unlock it yourself!”
“To be honest, I don’t quite understand.”
Fu Qian caught the key and started unlocking the handcuffs while speaking.
Her behavior was certainly unexpected.
“I don’t understand either, have you gone mad?”
Unexpectedly, the policewoman had an even bigger reaction than him, taking back the handcuffs and the key with a huff.
“Just a little mad.”
Fu Qian looked at the policewoman with a smile, confirming that she indeed had a hidden agenda in coming over.
“I’d say so, otherwise how would you dare to walk into that place.”
The policewoman clearly disliked Fu Qian’s flippancy, glaring at him fiercely.
“Didn’t you know they’ve been infected?”
Infected?
This word made Fu Qian’s heart stir, and he shook his head very honestly.
“You really don’t know?”
The expression of the policewoman suddenly turned into shock, and she sized Fu Qian up and down once again.
“You’re not from Bee Monkey City?”
“Depends on how you see it, but yes, you could understand it that way.”
“No wonder, you must be very lucky then!”
Fu Qian’s answer was vague, yet the policewoman seemed to accept his explanation.
“You can call me Kelly, for now let’s get out of here.”
As she spoke, she started the car.
“Just a few days ago, we discovered a mysterious virus spreading through Bee Monkey City.”
“This virus is very strange, all infected individuals initially don’t exhibit any physical symptoms.”
“However, their mental state is invariably significantly affected and they quickly enter a state of cognitive distortion.”
“In such cases, the infected are unable to distinguish reality from illusion, living entirely in their own delusions.”
“Furthermore, once their thought process gets confused to a certain extent, they acquire bizarre powers that are beyond understanding.”
“This mutation wasn’t noticed at first, not until after several bloody incidents, that we realized the infected were almost everywhere in the city.”
“Now we can only manage to gather those who haven’t been infected and try to move them to a safe area.”
Is that really the case?
After hearing the policewoman’s introduction, Fu Qian expressed that he was shocked for a moment.
Just a while ago it was full of evil and mysterious atmosphere, now it has turned into a sci-fi theme like a biohazard?
“So you came specifically to find me just now? Then why did you handcuff me?”
“Handcuffing you was for their benefit.”
The policewoman gestured towards the building they were gradually leaving behind.
“It was your colleague who reported you, I didn’t dare let them suspect anything unusual.”
So the wrongdoer actually complained first?
Fu Qian was momentarily taken aback.
“When did it happen?”
“Right before you went upstairs, when you were standing in the plaza in a daze, you were reported.”
Kelly said expressionlessly.
“They claimed you were infected and might enter the company to harm them, needing to be controlled quickly.”
So early?
Fu Qian thought deeply for a moment.
“Given my current understanding of this part of the district, I was quite surprised when I received the call, so I talked with the reporter a bit more.”
“After grasping the situation, I suspected that a normal person might be in danger, so I decided to check it out.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so quick, by the time I got there, you were already gone.”
“I had no choice but to follow the address provided by the reporter to find you upstairs.”
“I initially didn’t have much hope, but it seems you were lucky not to have disturbed them.”
What do you mean lucky, that’s polite and easy-going, okay!
Fu Qian quietly digested the information Kelly provided.
I must say, although I can’t imagine what kind of virus this is, the basic facts still seem to match.
The entire process also makes sense.
But that being said.
Fu Qian recalled the experience in the office earlier.
While he was being careful not to upset those people, were they also cautiously wary of him from their point of view?
Thinking about it that way made it quite interesting!
“So where are we headed now?”
“To take you somewhere safe.”
Facing Fu Qian’s question, Kelly unsurprisingly replied.
