It was a rainy day. The man left the hospital with the bill in his hand and sat alone at the station for a long time.
The man looked embarrassed and looked at the huge numbers on the bill.
Thunderclouds rolled in the sky.
The man returned to the factory where he worked and started working conscientiously.
The picture started to become darker.
The factory issued a notice that the factory area would be abandoned and all employees would be laid off without receiving any compensation.
Heavy rain suddenly poured down, and the man left the factory with Xinrou in his arms and his head lowered.
The screen switched to the hospital ward,
The man stood outside the ward, looking at the old man lying on the bed inside.
The alarm light at the door of the ward was flashing, and doctors and nurses were giving first aid to the old man.
The man looked helplessly at the old man whose eyes were gradually closing, his tear ducts gradually losing control.
The screen continued to switch and came to a cemetery.
The man knelt down in front of the cemetery, staring at the tombstone with gray eyes, silent.
At this time, a man wearing medieval anti-epidemic clothing came to the man, took out a bottle of fluorescent green water, and placed it in front of the man.
The man looked at the person who suddenly appeared and was stunned for a long time.
Then his eyes gradually became firm, and he stretched out his hand to take the bottle of fluorescent green water. In the process of taking it, the water in the bottle shook violently, revealing something in the water...a small tentacle.
The screen switches again.
The man returned to the factory with a large sack beside him.
The man opened the bag and released the factory owner.
As the factory owner begged, the man opened the bottle of water and drank it hard.
Then a drastic change occurred. Countless tentacles emerged from his body and swallowed the boss.
Then a cocoon fell off from it and was placed on the operating table in the center of the factory.
Before the scene disappeared, thick mist was released from the cocoon and spread to the surroundings. The factory and the surrounding small animals, under the contact of the mist, experienced changes one after another...
...
Shen Qi came back to her senses and looked at the man at her feet, feeling a little complicated.
"Since you won't let me live, then let's all die together."
Shen Qi could understand the feeling of losing everything and having the world collapse.
You may say that the man is bad, but he is a victim on the other hand.
If there hadn't been that high bill, if the factory hadn't collapsed, and if the factory owner could have provided compensation, everything would have been different.
A man may still be a filial person and a conscientious and excellent employee.
The person who appears in the picture is the root cause of all this. If it weren't for the bottle of fluorescent green water, all of this wouldn't be too bad.
But there is no what if.
Who is that guy, why is he doing this, and where does that bottle come from?
The man wearing medieval anti-epidemic clothing is full of mystery...
These questions kept popping up in Shen Qi's mind, but he was not a detective and did not have that much curiosity to explore these.
After the matter is over, he can talk to Wu Gang and others about the matter and let them do the investigation. This can be regarded as fulfilling his duty as a temporary consultant.
Shen Qi looked at the man again and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The man was still breathing heavily at this time, and his eyes were gradually losing color.
"Thanks......"
Facing Shen Qi's question, the man slowly uttered two words, then gradually lost his vitality, and his body gradually collapsed, becoming a shriveled "wooden man".
As for the man wearing medieval anti-epidemic clothing, Shen Qi did not ask.
"Poor man."
Shen Qi knew that when the man said "thank you", he was thanking him for liberating him at the end of his life.
Not wanting to die as a monster is probably the ultimate wish of those who have been bewitched and become monsters.
After Shen Qi purified Changxuxiaolian, the impact on Wu Gang and others gradually subsided.
However, some characteristics of the body still remain. This is the impact caused by the conflict between the strange factors and itself.
"finished?"
Wu Gang murmured, then got up from the ground, dragged his left foot that could not move, and came behind Shen Qi.
Shen Qi picked up the small tentacles under his feet and turned around to look at Wu Gang.
Smoothly, he pulled off a long strip of cloth from his torn clothes and wrapped the small tentacles.
Then he said hello calmly, like an old friend who has known each other for many years: "Are you okay?"
Wu Gang raised his eyebrows and ignored what Shen Qi did to him and the little tentacle. He didn't even say you need to hand it in because he didn't think he could hold that thing and walk out of this place. Foreign land.
When he talked about foreign lands, he felt strange, because all the weird things had been eliminated.
However, the foreign lands have not retreated, but are still expanding slowly.
"We're fine. Did you just eliminate the weird ones?"
Wu Gang examined it for a week, and then his eyes fell on Shen Qi.
Shen Qi was looked at with scrutinizing eyes and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "You don't believe it?"
"Did you think I was performing acrobatic magic just now? I saved you with good intentions, and now you question me?"
Wu Gang was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that if you eliminate the weirdness, then the foreign land should disappear, but now the foreign land is still there, so..."
When Shen Qi heard this, he waved his hand indifferently. The weirdness was really gone. The system was quite authoritative in this regard.
"This means that the thick fog has nothing to do with the weirdness."
Then he said seriously: "This thick fog is caused by something else."
When Wu Gang heard this, he was shocked and shouted: "There are other high-level weird things!"
"No, we need to leave as soon as possible!"
The Chenghuang Administration Bureau divides the degree of known weird threats into 9 levels.
1-2 is the human level, 3-village level, 4-town level, 5-district level, 6-city level, 7-provincial level, 8-prefecture level, 9-nation level. As for the higher ones, they have no records. It is on record, but after speculation by scientific researchers, a higher level of level 10 - the world-destroying level has been calculated.
This is calculated based on past data. It should be said to be a theoretical classification, because humans will resist and will not let weirdness really reach that level of threat.
The weirdness that is suspected to be above the 4-town level is not the cause of the current foreign land, so that explains one thing...
There are also weird existences of higher levels!
It’s scary to think about it!
Wu Gang didn't dare to think any further. They had to leave the foreign land before the hidden weirdness was discovered.
But what he didn't expect was that Shen Qi shook his head and refused!
"You guys go out first, I want to go in and take a look."
Go in and have a look?
"What? You want to go deeper!"
Shen Qi said with a serious face: "Team Leader Wu Gang, I am very contractual. Since I have been entrusted by you, I will be responsible to the end."
