Captain Guo followed his subordinate to the video room, as he walked he admired the purity of the structure. Polished granite floors, walls made of cinder blocks, this building had a strength built into it, comforting.

Inside the video room the man loaded up the section he wanted the Captain to witness. " See, Caption Guo, there is the guard up on the walkway. At this moment he appears to be startled, then he is lifted vertically about 2 metres. Then dropped over the side to his death."

"Interesting, can you ascertain what it is? Some kind of drone?" Watching the video, Guo felt like the solidity of his world was beginning to waver. All his hard work, all his structure might collapse in a heartbeat.

"Sir and that's not all reviewing more footage from the school. I have noted a few more abnormalities. Here in this video there appears to be a wild monkey creating havoc.

It was time for him to conduct the investigation, he was not going to allow anyone or anything to blemish his spotless career.
