I Have A Super USB Drive

by <unknown>

  In the early morning of the next day, Sean left the hospital. He called the police station in Detroit and then drove the car toward a welfare home.

  However, when the vehicle arrived on the street of the welfare home, he suddenly saw that the entire street had been blocked.

  At the intersection of the street, a few police cars were jammed. At the same time, the road was completely sealed off by warning tape. A group of people could also be seen gathering on the side of the road, constantly making a racket over something.

  What happened?

  Sean walked forward in puzzlement and pushed the crowd aside. Only then did he see several policemen surrounded by the crowd.

  "Sir, this street has been blocked because of a leak in the gas pipe."

  Seeing Sean coming forward, one of the policemen immediately stepped up and said, "If you're heading to work, please take a detour."

  "No, I'm Detective Sean."

  Sean took out his ID and handed it to the other party. After confirming that the ID was correct, the policeman's expression relaxed and at the same time, he stepped aside. "In that case, you can go in."

  As he said that, he lifted the waist-high warning tape, letting Sean go through.

  Walking deeper into this street, Sean immediately headed toward the address of the welfare home provided to him. Along the way, he saw several policemen blocking other intersections. At the same time, he could see ambulances passing by his side.

  Seeing all this fuss, Sean could not help but feel a little puzzled. This situation did not look like a leaked gas pipeline at all…

  Thinking of this, the appearance of the black boy flashed in Sean's mind again. Could it be that all this had something to do with him again?

  When he completely came to the door of the welfare home, Sean was surprised to find that several vehicles with the logo of the Earth Federation were parked at the gate. Still, they were a little different from the logo of the Earth Federation. The logo of the Earth Federation was originally two wheat ears encircling an image of the earth. Although this logo was the same, it was red overall, instead of the green of the Earth Federation logo.

  At the same time, there were some words under the logo: Federal Special Branch.

  "What department is this, why haven't I heard of it?"

  Sean walked forward with some doubts, but before he reached these vehicles, he was immediately stopped by several men wearing white protective suits.

  "Sir, the Federal Special Branch is working, please leave."

  "I'm a member of the local police station. I came here to check on a boy named George. He's related to the murder case yesterday."

  Sean replied somewhat stubbornly. He knew that the Earth Federation might have a strong deterrent effect in ordinary countries and third world countries, but all this was just a façade to the four continents standing on the top of the world, let alone the Northern American Continent that was the strongest among the four continents.

  After all, even the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the most powerful department of the Earth Federation, had its own branch in Northern America and it only listened to orders of the Earth Federation if it felt like it.

  However, he was mistaken this time. The man in the protective suit who intercepted him still blocked his way. "We can't let anyone in without a superior's order, Mr. Officer. Please cooperate with us."

  Sean frowned immediately. He took out his cell phone again and called the bureau, but to his surprise, the reply he got told him not to interfere with the work of the Federal Special Branch. If he had any questions, he could contact the person in charge of the case.

  Hearing this, Sean was still a little disgruntled. He called the sheriff from yesterday again. This time, the sheriff just told him to wait and soon, Sean saw the man running over from the other side of the street.

  "Mr. Sheriff, where were you just now?"

  Sean looked at the panting sheriff and asked, mystified.

  "I set up an interception point on the other side of the street."

  The sheriff gasped and said, "Mr. Sean, the order has already been issued. Let us do our best to cooperate with the Federal Special Branch. I heard that this is an order from the state government department, so I can't help you."

  "What is it, an order from the state governor?"

  Sean looked even more shocked. "What happened in the orphanage and why was it sealed off?"

  "It seems that it's related to the boy named George from yesterday…"

  The sheriff shot him a grave look. "I heard that just last night, everyone in the welfare home died, including the caregivers and the children, and their deaths were the same as our case yesterday…"

  "What?"

  Sean could not help exclaiming. He looked at the other person in disbelief as if he wanted to see if this was some sort of joke, but he was disappointed. The other man's somber face told him that all this was true…

  "More than 100 people died overnight, including 83 children, 15 caregivers, and the director of the welfare home."

  The sheriff continued. "All this was discovered early this morning but before we could deal with the scene, these Federal Special Branch guys came and drove us out forcefully…"

  Sean took a deep breath when he heard these words. He seemed to think of something and asked again, "Then, the survivor named George, is he… Still alive?"

  "Yes."

  The sheriff looked at Sean steadily. "It's strange that the boy named George is still alive and he's the only survivor."

  Hearing the words of the sheriff, Sean only felt a chill rising in his heart. He could not help but look at the door of the welfare home and murmured, "Could it be that the murderer of the case is him and he's a psionicist?"

  "That's not clear, but all these have nothing to do with us. After all, it has been handed over to the top brass."

  The sheriff sighed. "Mr. Sean, you don't have to care about this. When the Federal Special Branch leaves, our work will be completed."

  After saying this, the sheriff turned and left. Only Sean was still standing there quietly. He looked at the door of the orphanage restlessly as if he wanted to try to find a way in.

  At this moment, the door of the orphanage was opened again. This time, Sean saw several people who were dressed differently. These people were wearing a combat uniform he had never seen before. The whole get-up was pitch black, just like a black bodysuit. They wore the same style of combat helmets on their heads, so he could not see their faces at all.

  "Mr. Sean?"

  One of the personnel stepped forward and called out Sean's name.

  "That's me… And you are?"

  Sean perked up and replied immediately.

  "I'm the captain of task force five under the Blacklight Foundation. I'm in charge of handling this abnormal event. You can call me Victor."

  This person took off the helmet on his head and swiftly revealed a face with standard Anglo-looking features.

  "Blacklight Foundation? Abnormal event?"

  Sean was instantly filled with questions. He watched the other man carefully, waiting for an explanation.

  "The Blacklight Foundation is an organization jointly established by the four major continents. It's specifically responsible for dealing with the handiwork of certain psionicists or other even thornier incidents that might even go against the natural order. Such incidents are collectively referred to as 'abnormal events.' The Federal Special Branch is our logistics department."

  The man named Victor stretched out his hand and said lightly, "I heard my subordinates report that you're the most famous psionicist in the Detroit Police Department. You're able to observe what happened at the scene a few hours in the past?"

  "Yes, that's my superpower. Although I don't have the combat power of other psionicists, it's still good for cracking cases."

  Sean shook hands with the other man.

  "Very nice."

  Victor's eyes lit up. "In that case, you'll be recruited by us these d
ays. Come in with me now. Let's go to the crime scene."

  With that, he turned around and walked in.

  After hearing Victor's words, Sean frowned slightly. Although the other party's words were polite, there was an unquestionable air of command in his tone.

  Sean originally wanted to refuse. After all, this was not in line with proper procedure and the other party had no right to give him orders unless they first communicated with his superior to enlist his help.

  However, Victor's words revealed a lot of incredible things earlier and he was also very curious about the case, so after thinking about it, he finally followed.

  This time, those in protective suits at the door did not stop him.

  As soon as he entered the door of the welfare home, Sean's expression immediately changed because he once again sensed a weird odor, which was nothing other than the smell of sulfur.

  "Have you noticed it?"

  Victor, who was waiting for him, immediately smiled after seeing Sean's expression. "What does it smell like?"

  "It's sulfur."

  Sean nodded and then asked in astonishment, "Can you smell it too?"

  "This isn't a smell, but…"

  Victor pointed to his head. "This is what my psionic powers tell me."

  "Are you also a psionicist?"

  Sean was shocked. He immediately made some guesses about the Blacklight Foundation personnel.

  "There's a special psionic task force in the foundation."

  Victor nodded. "It's just that we didn't send them this time. Instead, our task force five took over this abnormal event. There are only three psionicists in our task force five and they are myself and two other deputy captains. The rest are ordinary people."

  "Why didn't you send the special psionic task force?"

  Sean was a little puzzled when he heard that. "It stands to reason that a case caused by this kind of psionicist should be resolved by the psionic task force?"

  What he wanted to say was, if ordinary people got involved in a psionic case, were they not as good as dead? It was just that his words changed when they reached his lips.

  "That's because, in certain conditions, the combat effectiveness of our ordinary task force may not be inferior to that of psionicists…"

  Victor smiled mysteriously but did not explain. Instead, he walked forward first. "Mr. Sean, I heard that you passed out in a coma during the exploration of the scene yesterday. Can you tell me what you saw when you used your psionic powers?"

  Sean frowned slightly when he heard these words. He did not expect the other party to get all his information so quickly, and they even knew about his coma, so he had to say, "I don't remember. Yesterday it seemed a bit difficult to rewind the scene. I had not managed to rewind the scene fully when I fainted because I'd overexerted my psionic power. So, I suspect that the murderer has some psionic power that can restrain my ability."

  Victor nodded when he heard this. The two came to the corridor of the inner hall in the welfare home. As Sean passed through the doors, he saw that two or three men in protective suits were dissecting the bodies in each room. Several combatants who were also wearing black combat uniforms and holding pulse rifles stood guard at the side.

  As for those corpses, Sean felt a pang in his heart. After all, the dead were all teenage children…

  Soon, the two came to the end of the corridor. When they came to the door, Sean suddenly heard a low sob. The noise came from behind the closed door in front of him, sounding as if it belonged to a boy.

  Victor did not dally. He pushed open the door directly and Sean immediately saw that in the room, seven or eight combatants were standing at the fringes. At their center, there was an eight or nine-year-old black boy.

  The moment he saw the boy, Sean immediately recognized him. The boy who looked as if he would not hurt a fly was the main star of this trip… The suspect in two consecutive psionic murder cases — George.

  Chapter 620: Group Annihilation |

  At this time, the boy was curled up in the corner, his head bowed as he cried silently while soldiers with live ammunition stood all around him. Anyone who saw him would feel compassion as if these soldiers were oppressing the child.

  Although Sean did not want to believe that the boy in front of him might be a murderous demon. At this moment, Sean still subconsciously tensed his body.

  "Found out anything?"

  Victor looked at everyone around him and everyone shook their heads.

  Seeing this, Victor could not help looking at Sean on the side.

  Sean had no choice but to walk up himself. He squatted in front of the boy and the boy shrank back subconsciously, seeming to be afraid of everyone here.

  "George, relax, no one here will hurt you."

  Sean tried his best to make his smile more sincere. "Can you tell me what happened last night? Don't worry, we're not saying you're to blame, but… We're all curious."

  However, a development that Sean had never expected occurred. After seeing Sean, George suddenly screamed and wailed at the same time, "It's you guys, you killed my parents and all the people here. It's all of you!"

  As he yelled, his emotions became more and more agitated. In the end, his eyes rolled over and he fainted…

  Seeing this scene, Sean's heart suddenly sank. "It seems that his mind is still a little confused. We won't get anything out of him for the time being."

  Beside him, Victor also frowned. He did not say much but ordered everyone to take George away, leaving the place only to Sean.

  "Can you use your abilities now?"

  Victor asked again, "If the identity of the murderer can be directly identified, that would be best."

  "I can try, but you must leave first because when my ability is activated, it will be disturbed if there are other people present."

  Hearing these words, Victor did not say anything else. He turned around and left, closing the door for Sean on his way out.

  Only Sean was left in the room.

  Seeing this, Sean no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and began to use his power.

  Suddenly, the sunlight in the room slowly dimmed as if the scene outside the window had directly changed from day to night. At the same time, there seemed to be wisps of gray shadows on the ground. These shadows continued to squirm and twist in Sean's peripheral vision, but when Sean looked directly toward them, he saw that all this was an illusion…

  "Huff…"

  A weird murmuring began to appear in Sean's ears. It seemed that someone was whispering in his ear, but no matter how he strained to listen, he could not hear what was said. By this time, the light in the room had been completely dimmed. In the darkness as thick as ink, Sean seemed to see many people lying faintly on the beds in the room.

  These were children and George was among them.

  "Did I succeed?"

  Sean breathed a sigh of relief in silence. While maintaining his powers, he slowly paced to the bed where George was. Through the dense darkness, Sean seemed to see that George on the bed was frowning and twitching his lips.

  It was as if the child at this time was falling into some kind of nightmare.

  In the next second, a thick mist suddenly drifted into the room. The mist seemed to appear out of thin air, with a faint yellowish color, which directly brightened the entire room.

  "What is this?"

  Sean looked around blankly. The dusky mist was dreamlike, drifting in the room quietly, even distorting the sense of distance in the room, giving him the illusion of being in a vast world.

  No, it was not an illusion…

  Sean suddenly saw that in the misty distance, a few figures were walking over slowly. As the mist was dense, he could only see that these figures had human silhouettes.

  However, unlike ordinary people, their walking movements were a bit awkward. Strictly speaking, they appeared to be floating.

  As they got closer, their silhouettes could be seen more clearly. However, at this time, Sean's pupils shrank
involuntarily because he finally saw that these figures were not humans at all. They were just spherical heads without a body, with only strips of tentacles hanging down!

  Monsters!

  Sean held back the horror in his heart. He took two steps backward and then realized that these monsters were not real now. He was just looking back at them in the past.

  There were three of these monsters. They floated out of the thick fog and then stretched out their tentacles toward the nostrils of the children. The next second, before Sean's eyes, the bodies of the children shriveled directly…

  "So, it's this group of monsters causing trouble?"

  Sean felt angry and helpless as he watched. He wanted to stop them but when he stretched out his hand, it simply passed through the monsters as if they were mere shadows. All this was just a scene from last night that he had rewound to.

  After these three monsters drained the children in the room, only George was left behind. Then, they opened the door, turned, and moved outside…

  "I understand…"

  At this point, Sean finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to observe. He withdrew his power and the darkness and dense fog in the room immediately dissipated. Sunlight came in again from the window.

  After basking in the long-lost sunshine, Sean quickly opened the door and came to the corridor, where Victor was standing by.

  Seeing Sean appear, Victor gave him a surprised look. "Your nose is running."

  Sean was taken aback for a moment. He reached out and touched his nose but he only felt a string of mucus flowing out of his nostrils. There was a small trace of blood in the mucus but he was too immersed earlier, and he did not even notice the liquid flowing out of his nostrils.

  "I thought I'd bleed, but who knew that only snot came out?"

  Sean frowned but then he put that all aside. "I've found out what happened. It turns out that George wasn't the murderer but his nightmare!"

  "Nightmare?"

  "Yes, I suspect that George is a special psionicist!"

  Sean asserted. "He has the ability to materialize his dreams. It's only because he can't control his emotions in the dreams, so he'll lose control and kill people every night!"
