Lin Fan somehow ended up lying in the car. Her last memory was of the out-of-control truck...
She sat up suddenly and saw Wu Yusen sitting next to her, looking at her. She asked in surprise, "How come the truck didn't hit us?"
If you ask, you will know that it is nonsense. If you run into them, they will not sit down and chat.
Wu Yusen replied with a strange expression: "It stopped at the critical moment."
It was only then that Lin Fan noticed that John Woo was also sitting in the back seat, and someone else was driving in the front.
She felt something was wrong and looked out the window, only to see many signs of Gaohe City.
"Is this Gaohe City?" Lin Fan asked in disbelief.
"right."
"...What time is it now?" Lin Fan wanted to ask why she came back, but she saw the slightly bright sky, which was obviously not the same time as the dark sky when she was eating before.
"A little after 4 o'clock," Wu Yusen replied. "Early morning."
Lin Fan took a deep breath. His memory of the last second was less than 10 o'clock, and when he opened his eyes, more than 6 hours had passed.
"Did something happen after I fell into a coma?" Lin Fan was not stupid to begin with, and she suddenly thought of her inexplicable coma.
They were still over an hour away from arriving home, and this was with the approval of the Special Affairs Office. Wu Yusen didn't act unusual along the way, chatting and laughing. If nothing special had happened, they wouldn't have taken him back to the Special Affairs Office.
Wu Yusen was concerned about his colleague driving in the front seat and didn't want him to know too much. Just as he was about to organize his words, he heard Lin Fan say, "Forget it, don't say anymore."
Lin Fan guessed something in his mind, but didn't want to think too deeply about it, so he simply lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, John Woo did not interrupt and continued in silence all the way to the Special Affairs Office.
This time the car did not enter from the Ririhong compound, but drove into a hidden underground parking lot. After circling a few circles, it entered the exclusive passage of the Special Affairs Office.
It was already past 5:00, so Wu Yusen took Lin Fan back to his office to rest. Just as he had settled her down, he received a call from the director. He hurriedly locked the door and reported to the director.
The director, who was always smiling, also looked a little worried. He put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray full of cigarette butts and said, "Tell me more about what happened."
Wu Yusen repeated the whole story in detail, then took out the memory card and asked, "I got the truck surveillance. Would you like to take a look?"
“Let it go!”
John Woo skillfully plugged the card into the computer, quickly found the last video, and clicked play.
At the beginning of the video, the driver was still driving fast on the highway, and at this time he seemed to have discovered that the brakes had failed.
In the video, you can hear the driver's words, from confusion to fear, and you can also hear a "bang bang" sound, as if he slammed the brakes hard and quickly entered the ramp of the service area. The driver in the car kept slamming on the brakes and screaming.
The car rushed towards the gas station at an extremely fast speed.
The driver realized something was wrong and turned the steering wheel in a panic. The video footage spun at breakneck speed, then rushed in a different direction. Within two or three seconds, John Woo and Lin Fan entered the frame.
John Woo reached out to push Lin Fan on the right, but the front of the car had already pushed over. The headlights flashed, and something seemed to light up. John Woo's shadow could no longer be seen in the picture, and something white could be vaguely seen in the left headlight, but it was not clear.
The director and John Woo were almost leaning against the computer screen, and all they could see was a white object under the strong light, but it was really hard to tell what it looked like.
"Why is it so blurry?" The director frowned.
"Maybe the dashcam is too old and the pixels are not clear." John Woo guessed.
"I can't figure out what this thing is."
"How about I take it to the technical department to fix it and see if it can be clearer."
"Hurry up," the director urged him out, then stopped him just as he was about to leave. "By the way, how is Lin Fan now?"
"She's locked up in my office and resting." Wu Yusen thought for a moment and added, "She woke up for a moment in the middle of it. She might have guessed something, but she didn't say anything. She seems okay."
"Then you should go quickly. Lin Fan can't be left alone. Be careful." The host said with a hint of meaning.
John Woo hurried to the technical department to find Wang Fengfeng.
Wang Fengfeng, as his name suggests, is tall and thin, about 1.87 meters tall, with not much flesh on his body.
He wore a pair of black square-framed glasses with rare transparent brown lenses, and his attire gave him a touch of the artistic youth vibe. He smiled shyly, had a rather delicate demeanor, and appeared harmless.
But if you underestimate him because of this, you will suffer a great loss. As one of the top hackers in the Special Affairs Department, his aggression in the electronic field is not as harmless as his appearance.
"Brother Wu, you're here?" Wang Fengfeng greeted Wu Yusen happily upon seeing him. "I checked all the cameras in the service area. They didn't capture anything unusual related to you during the time you mentioned. However, I've erased all traces of you and replaced them with other footage to ensure no one can detect."
"Thank you for your hard work," Wu Yusen thanked him. "Here's a video. It's too blurry, I can't see anything clearly. Can you see if you can make it clearer?"
"Let me take a look." Wang Fengfeng took the memory card and followed John Woo's instructions to find the last frame of the video. "It's really blurry. I'll try to fix it and see if it can be clearer. It'll take some time. Brother Wu, go do your work first. I'll call you when it's done."
Wu Yusen thanked Wang Fengfeng and left the technical department. He went to the medical department to find someone and arranged for Lin Fan to have another physical examination before returning to his office.
Lin Fan was still lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, just as he was when he left. His swollen body showed obvious signs of illness.
Who would have thought that such a body could be transformed into a steel mecha?
Even though he only caught a glimpse of the mecha and couldn't see its full appearance, he still felt that it looked handsome. Very, very handsome, okay?
He walked over quietly and just as he bent down to call Lin Fan, he saw her eyes suddenly open, her eyes were extremely clear, as if she had not slept at all.
Lin Fan didn't want to sleep in the first place.
She intuitively felt that something was wrong, but she didn't want to face it. It was as if she was watching John Woo and he would tell her something that would change her current situation at any time, so she simply closed her eyes and escaped.
The messy thoughts running through her mind made her feel upset and she couldn't calm down. She didn't know when she fell asleep.
But she didn't sleep deeply. She woke up when the office door was opened, and didn't open her eyes until the footsteps stopped in front of her.
"Lin Fan," Wu Yusen said, "I'm afraid you need to take another test."
Lin Fan slowly sat up straight, leaned against the back of the sofa, and asked slowly, "Is it the same as yesterday?"
"Only medical examinations," John Woo replied.
Since Lin Fan had transformed into a mecha, the institute's ability tests were completely useless. Instead, a medical examination might reveal some abnormalities related to the transformation.
If any.
Lin Fan followed Wu Yusen obediently without asking a single question.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, John Woo didn't say anything more. After all, she had to know what she needed to know, and he had to give her time to accept herself.
Once again, they went to have their blood drawn first. This time, they drew even more blood than the day before. Afterward, they didn't go to eat, but instead continued with a series of tests. Only after the tests, which were even longer than yesterday's, were completed did Wu Yusen take Lin Fan to dinner.
Lin Fan didn't say anything and just did whatever she was told to do. Her face looked a little pale, but her actions were still acceptable.
John Woo was also considering the possible time limit issues after the transformation. He was afraid that if it was delayed for too long, some conditions would not be detected. So seeing that Lin Fan was in okay condition, he hardened his heart and asked her to complete the full set of examinations.
After having a slow meal with Lin Fan, Wang Fengfeng called.
"Brother Wu, the video is ready, come and take a look."
John Woo originally wanted to take Lin Fan back to the office and lock him up before going to find Wang Fengfeng, but after seeing Lin Fan's silent expression, he decided to take his men and go there directly.
Wang Fengfeng didn't ask much when he saw Lin Fan. He took a quick glance and said to Wu Yusen, "This dashcam is probably a vintage item from years ago. The pixels it takes are naturally low, and coupled with the poor lighting at night, it's difficult to get a clear image. I used software to analyze and refine the pixel blocks inside, and then reconstructed a clearer image."
Wu Yusen looked over and saw that the previously blurry white area on the screen had become vaguely human-shaped. But if you didn't tell him it was a mecha, it would be hard to imagine it was that. At least Wang Fengfeng didn't see it, otherwise, as a mecha fan, he wouldn't have been so calm.
"Can it be clearer?" John Woo needed clearer image material, and the current one obviously did not meet the requirements.
"No, brother." Wang Fengfeng was also at a loss. "Low pixel count is only one of the reasons. This headlight must have been modified; it's too bright. And I don't know what the white object next to the headlight is made of. It creates a strong reflection, and the camera can't capture it clearly."
"Look, except for the light, everything else is dark. It's like someone shining a flashlight at you in the dark. You can't see anything except the light... Anyway, this is the clearest it can be."
Wu Yusen nodded, "Okay, send me this picture. Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Fengfeng smiled shyly, saying it was okay, and turned to take a picture. Wu Yusen took the opportunity to look at Lin Fan. She was also looking at the picture on the screen, but with no expression. He didn't know what she was thinking.
As soon as the picture was transferred to the tablet in his hand, John Woo's phone rang. It was the director.
"Xiao Wu, I've read the test reports and there's nothing abnormal."
The director had been waiting in the office for Lin Fan's test report, so he knew the results as soon as they came in. Wu Yusen, on the other hand, didn't know all the results yet, as some were not available before dinner.
"I'm in the technical department looking at the restoration status of the pictures, and I haven't seen the test results yet." John Woo reported to the director while flipping through the inspection results.
"Has it been repaired?" asked the director.
"After some repairs, you can see the outline of a human figure, but it's not very clear." John Woo forwarded the picture.
The director also successfully opened the picture.
Indeed, if you know it is a mecha, you can tell where the head and shoulders are, but if you don't tell me, you can only see a vague human figure.
"Is this the only way?"
"Yes, this is the clearest result."
"...Okay," the director pondered for a moment, "You take everyone to the conference room first. I'll find a few people to go over there and figure out what to do next."
Wang Fengfeng was played by my intern teacher in high school.
I remember him standing in front of the blackboard, wearing a khaki sweater. He wore woolen gloves, and to make chalk writing easier, his thumb and index finger were cut in half. Because his name didn't fit his height, his classmates affectionately called him "Fengfeng." He was one of the few good teachers I remember. I wonder how Mr. Wang is doing now?
