Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 673: Bai Hecheng’s Amnesia

Chapter 673: Bai Hecheng’s Amnesia"What the hell is this ghost thing?!" Liu Xing couldn’t help but curse in his heart, because he really didn’t expect Bai Hecheng to show up here... Well, Liu Xing had to admit that he had actually thought Bai Hecheng might appear in this module, after all, Gary and the others had already shown up.

But Gary and the others were NPCs, while Bai Hecheng was a player!

So what kind of ghost operation was this?

Could it be that Bai Hecheng was still just an NPC during this time period, and didn’t become a character card until more than 10 years later?

Or was he just seeing things?

At this moment, Leon patted Liu Xing’s shoulder and said, "Chris, what are you looking at? Why do you have such an expression?"

Liu Xing snapped out of it and found that the Bai Hecheng on the rooftop had disappeared.

"Nothing, I just thought I saw a figure appear on the rooftop," Liu Xing shook his head and said.

"Chris, are you sure?" Wesker frowned.

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously, "If nothing goes wrong, I should have seen a person, and that person seemed to have an Asian face. Oh, Sergei, did you bring the autopsy reports for those three bodies? Are there any facial photos of the three bodies?"Sergei quickly took an envelope from his small briefcase and handed it to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing opened the envelope and the first autopsy report had a photo of Bai Hecheng.

Liu Xing was so sure because the Bai Hecheng in the photo was exactly the same as the Bai Hecheng more than 10 years later.

Could it be that Bai Hecheng was also one of the Yis People?

Liu Xing now thought of this possibility, and in his opinion, this possibility was very high.

If that was the case, then everything could be explained... No way.

Because if Bai Hecheng was also one of the Yis People, then he must be on Ithaqua’s side, not serving the Cult of the Cadaver as he did now, let alone becoming a middle-level manager of the Cult of the Cadaver in the future.

But in the EinsCastle more than 10 years later, Liu Xing really didn’t see any difference between Bai Hecheng and ordinary people, or ordinary players.

So what did Bai Hecheng go through in those 10-plus years?

At this moment, a police car drove into the square in front of the Funeral Home.

Then Rex and two other police officers got out.

"Rex, why are you here?" Sergei asked puzzledly.

Rex frowned, a little surprised, "I was going to ask you the same question. Didn’t you guys also get a report? It shouldn’t be, your place is quite far from here, so you shouldn’t be the ones handling this, right?"

"Rex, you know that yesterday we had three bodies stolen, and today those three bodies were sent back. So the higher-ups asked us to come and check on the situation of those three bodies, and then take them back for safekeeping. But when we got here, we found that something was wrong with the Funeral Home, don’t you think it’s a bit too quiet here?" Sergei said seriously.

Rex nodded and looked at the main building of the Funeral Home, saying, "That’s right, it’s a bit too quiet here. And I got a call 10 minutes ago saying that some thugs were causing trouble at the Funeral Home, assaulting ordinary citizens and Funeral Home staff, so I brought some people over. But judging from the current situation, is it possible that those thugs are the reason why the other people in the Funeral Home have all left?"

When Liu Xing and the others heard Rex’s purpose, they couldn’t help but frown.

The reason was simple, the "thugs" Rex mentioned were most likely the three bodies, or the Ghouls, or the zombies.

Now Liu Xing couldn’t be sure what state Bai Hecheng and the others were in.

At this time, Wesker stepped forward and said to Rex, "Rex, did you bring handguns with you?"

Wesker understood one thing very well, and that was that when facing non-human creatures, you absolutely couldn’t use close-combat weapons, because human strength was really too weak compared to non-human creatures.

If Rex and his men didn’t bring handguns, then Wesker could only try to get them to stay here and wait for reinforcements, so they wouldn’t go with them and get killed...

Rex nodded and patted his waist, saying, "Of course, you know that those thugs might have guns, so I brought people who are qualified to carry guns, in case they get beaten up without being able to fight back. If those thugs don’t have guns, we can use guns to force them to surrender."

"That’s good. Actually, I suspect the ’thugs’ you mentioned are related to the attack case a few days ago, so they most likely have guns, so remember to take off the safety when we enter the Funeral Home main building, and be ready to shoot back at any time," Wesker said seriously.

Seeing Wesker so serious, Rex quickly nodded and said, "Captain Wesker, you are our senior, so today we will all listen to your command, we will do whatever you say."

At this time, Jill spoke up, "Captain, headquarters wants us to confirm the situation in the Funeral Home first, and then they will send people to help."

Wesker nodded and said to Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, go get the batons and tasers from my car, since you guys don’t have guns, use these for self-defense for now."

Because of Sergei, Rex also knew that Liu Xing and the others had their guns confiscated, so Rex also had his men give their tasers and batons to Liu Xing and the others.

So Liu Xing’s team’s equipment became batons and tasers... Of course, Liu Xing knew that this set of equipment was useless against mythical creatures.

But when Sergei took out his handgun, Liu Xing said in surprise, "Sergei, you have a gun too?"

Because forensic investigators are also part of the police force, in theory they can also be armed. But because of the nature of their work, they generally don’t use guns, so forensic investigators usually don’t carry guns.

Sergei chuckled and said, "I have to thank that guy Rex. After graduating from the Police Academy and getting a handgun, he would show it off to me from time to time, so I also went to get a gun license."

"Okay, now there’s no time to waste, let’s go into the Funeral Home first. Chris, you guys without guns will be in the rear, Sergei, you’re familiar with the Funeral Home, so you’ll lead the way," Wesker said.

Although Sergei was a bit cowardly, he also knew to put the overall situation first, so he didn’t make any excuses and walked in the front.

As soon as they entered the main building of the Funeral Home, Liu Xing and the others saw a splatter of blood on the wall at the entrance.

As a professional, Sergei immediately concluded, "This blood stain should have been formed about half an hour ago, and it seems that someone was injured in the carotid artery of the neck with a sharp weapon, so if nothing unexpected happens, this person should have already died, after all, we didn’t see any ambulance on our way here."

Wesker nodded and gave Jill a look, and Jill immediately took out her mobile phone.

Liu Xing looked at the ground and found a large amount of blood on the floor.

Entering the first-floor lobby, it was a complete mess, with blood stains everywhere.

"How could someone cause trouble in a Funeral Home?" a police officer under Rex’s command whispered.

Wesker looked around and said, "This is not just causing trouble, these attackers are obviously here on a mission. From the scene, we can infer that they have already taken control of the ordinary citizens and staff in the main building, so Sergei, do you know if there are any large rooms in the main building? They should all be there now."

Sergei thought for a moment and said, "I remember the largest rooms in the main building should be the conference room on the top floor and the cafeteria on the first floor, but the cafeteria on the first floor is obviously empty, so I think they are in the conference room on the top floor."

Wesker nodded and said seriously, "Now let’s go to the conference room and take a look. If the attackers are armed, we’ll retreat immediately. If not, we’ll try to rescue the hostages."

Everyone nodded.

Since the main building of the Funeral Home only has three floors, Liu Xing and the others went straight up the stairs to the top floor.

Then KP Time said to Liu Xing, "Now you can choose to perform a Listening Judgment to see if there are any sounds coming from the conference room."

Since KP Time said so, of course Liu Xing chose to perform a Listening Judgment.

But to think about it, Liu Xing felt that this was the first time he had performed a Listening Judgment in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall.

Liu Xing, 33/50, succeeded.

The moment the Listening Judgment succeeded, Liu Xing heard what seemed to be people whispering in the conference room.

It seems the situation is not as bad as expected.

However, since the conference room door was closed, Wesker decided to wait for reinforcements for safety reasons, as with their current equipment, they would not be able to forcibly enter the conference room, and they also had no way to quietly confirm the situation inside.

So Wesker led Liu Xing and the others back to the first floor.

Half an hour later, the reinforcing SWAT team finally arrived.

The situation in the conference room was quickly determined, and there were actually only about 20 ordinary citizens and Funeral Home staff members inside, and no attackers.

The most important thing is that Liu Xing saw Bai Hecheng among these 20-odd people.

At this time, Bai Hecheng was still wearing a white coat and was very conspicuous in the crowd.

"How is this possible? He was supposed to be dead, and I even disemboweled him at the time. How is he still alive?" Sergei exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Xing thought for a moment and said to Wesker, "Captain, should we take that person aside and interrogate him?"

Wesker nodded and said, "I’ll go talk to the SWAT team leader first, he’s a friend of mine, so he should give me this favor. You guys go ahead and restrain that person."

So Liu Xing and the others surrounded Bai Hecheng.

At this time, Bai Hecheng had a puzzled look on his face and said in surprise, "Officers, what are you trying to do?"

Since Sergei was the one who knew Bai Hecheng the best among those present, other than Liu Xing, Sergei spoke up and said, "Do you know who you are?"

Bai Hecheng thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I don’t know my name, the person who brought me here just called me Veit Revo."

Veit Revo? Is that the meaning of "Bai He"?

Liu Xing frowned at the thought.

Sergei nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know who brought you here and why?"

Bai Hecheng shook his head and said, "I don’t know either, because at the time I was in a semi-conscious state, feeling like I was lying on a bed, and then I just heard someone talking next to me, saying they were going to bring me and two other people back to the Funeral Home. Then I seemed to have been put in a car and given an oxygen mask, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the top floor of this building, so I went downstairs and heard voices in the conference room, so I went in and stayed with those people. They can testify to this."

"Do you remember anything else?" Sergei probed.

Bai Hecheng shook his head, looking confused, "I feel like I’ve lost my memory, because I can’t remember anything else."

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other.

Just then, Wesker came over and said, "I’ve discussed with the SWAT team, now let’s take him back to the police station first."

Liu Xing and the others nodded, this was not the right place to interrogate Bai Hecheng.

So Liu Xing and the others took Bai Hecheng back to the police station.

On the way, Wesker also recounted the recent events at the Funeral Home.

An hour ago, just as Liu Xing and the others left the police station, a group of masked criminals stormed into the Funeral Home, killing several ordinary citizens and staff who tried to resist or escape, and then they separated the remaining hostages, locking some in the conference room on the top floor and others in the morgue.

But strangely, after threatening the hostages, the criminals left the Funeral Home, taking all the bodies inside, including the two bodies that were brought in with Bai Hecheng.

So the two bodies that came in with Bai Hecheng have disappeared again.

What is going on here?

Liu Xing is completely puzzled and has no idea what’s happening.

But unless something unexpected happens, the criminals who have stolen the bodies twice are probably not the same group, and one of them is likely to be a member of the Cult of the Cadaver.
