The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 242 Concealment

The break time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already afternoon.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the ward, bringing warmth and brightness to the entire room.

Dr. Tang carefully performed another comprehensive physical examination on Ye Shang to ensure that Ye Shang had fully recovered and had no other potential health problems.

After a thorough and meticulous examination, Dr. Tang finally felt relieved and gestured to the door that the border guards officers could come in.

A short while later, two officers in crisp military uniforms, their epaulets gleaming with the rank of major, entered the ward.

They walked with steady steps, their expressions serious yet polite.

After Dr. Tang and the others left, only two officers and Ye Shang remained in the ward.

Ye Shang felt as if the ward was shrouded in an invisible pressure.

A moment later.

One of the officers spoke first: "Hello, Comrade Ye Shang, I am Major Li from the Nanyun Province Border Defense Force."

"This is Major Chen, who is in charge of recording the interrogation process. These are our identification documents. If there are no other questions, we will begin the interrogation formally!" As he spoke, he handed his and his colleague's military ID cards to Ye Shang.

Ye Shang took the officer's ID card, carefully checked the photo, name, and unit information, and nodded slightly.

Seeing that Ye Shang did not raise any objections, Major Chen, who was in charge of recording, immediately reached out and turned on the recorder worn on his chest, and adjusted the angle to ensure that the following conversation could be clearly recorded.

"First, please tell us your name," Major Li asked.

“Nightfall,” Nightfall said.

"Gender," Major Li asked.

“Male,” Ye Shang replied.

"Occupation?" Major Li asked.

“A freelance photographer.” Ye Shang paused briefly, then added, “I like to use my lens to capture the beautiful moments in the world and record the landscapes and stories that are easily overlooked by people.”

"Yes, Comrade Ye Shang."

"Next, please describe in as much detail as possible how you ended up on the Ming-Myanmar border, hundreds of miles away, who you met there, and what you saw," Major Li said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shang seemed to be completely immersed in his memories.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze becoming somewhat unfocused. After a moment, he slowly opened his lips and began to recount his experience to the two officers.

Of course, he omitted the bizarre sacrificial ritual and the process of his final struggle with the unknown life form for control of his body.

After recounting the whole story, Ye Shang let out a soft sigh of relief.

Then, Major Li and Major Chen exchanged a glance and began to talk in hushed tones.

They carefully checked every detail Ye Shang had mentioned and confirmed that there were no problems with the record.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation, Comrade Ye Shang."

"This inquiry concludes here. If we require further information, we may contact you by phone."

"During this period, please do not go abroad and keep your phone accessible," Major Li said solemnly to Ye Shang as he stood up.

After speaking, Major Li and Major Chen saluted Ye Shang together, then turned and left the ward without hesitation.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ye Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... It seems those two officers didn't doubt what I said."

"However, their tone really sounded like they were interrogating a criminal, but fortunately they didn't intend to forcibly detain him."

So it seems the nurse was right; after that strange ritual, I was the only one who returned to Ming China.

The border military region was unaware of what had happened at the time.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about that! Whatever happens, the most important thing right now is to get out of this military hospital as soon as possible." Ye Shang muttered to himself as he made up his mind.

Immediately, he quickly rolled over and got out of bed.

I started packing my belongings, preparing to change my clothes and get discharged as soon as possible, to get away from that eerie place.

However, just as he reached for his coat placed beside the bed, he was surprised to find something underneath it.

In an instant, Ye Shang's expression turned extremely ugly, his previously calm face instantly filled with shock.

at the same time.

Parking lot of the military hospital.

Having politely declined Dean Zhou's warm invitation to stay, the two officers boarded their military vehicle, quickly started the engine, and sped away, kicking up dust.

Not long after.

As the military vehicle smoothly entered a narrow and quiet alley, its speed gradually decreased until it came to a stop.

Major Li, sitting in the driver's seat, deftly took off his military uniform. Then, he gently raised his wrist and tapped the button on his wristwatch with his finger.

In an instant, an amazing scene unfolded.

Suddenly, his face began to tremble slightly. As his facial muscles continued to writhe and deform, a layer of high-tech skin as thin as a cicada's wing slowly peeled off his face.

After the mask was completely peeled off, a familiar face was revealed—it turned out that the border guard major Li was actually Zhu Shitao in disguise!

Major Chen, sitting in the passenger seat on the other side, did the same thing.

The high-tech mask on his face also peeled off, and the disguised face disappeared, replaced by Zhao Kai's familiar face.

At this moment, Zhu Shitao broke the silence first. His deep and sharp eyes were fixed on Zhao Kai, and he asked with great interest, "Tell me, how much of what that kid said just now was true, and how much was false!"

Zhao Kai paused for a moment, seemingly trying to recall and organize the previous conversation in his mind.

After a short while, he finally raised his head.

"Hmm... Considering all aspects, I believe that most of what he said is true."

"However, based on my intuition, he was clearly intentionally concealing some key details."

"Moreover, I'm certain that this deliberately concealed information is very likely to have a negative impact on him!"

After saying that, Zhao Kai stared into Zhu Shitao's eyes, indicating whether they should send out special agents to take the kid back.

"No need. Dr. Hong Tao only detected some abnormal data at the border. We came under the name of the border defense force, so it's best not to cause any more trouble."

"Besides, haven't our people already tested him? The kid's genetic data shows that he's just an ordinary human and hasn't mutated into an Orphnoch or a Zerg. He's not under our jurisdiction."

"Alright, let's go back to the special operations base and report the results of this operation to Dr. Hong!"
