Chapter 185 The Birth of a Different Demon (Part 2) Monthly Pass
Under the gloomy sky, even though the warm and yellow sun that had just risen in the early morning, like a boiled egg, had just half of its face emerged from the distant eastern sky, it looked completely devoid of any vitality, and the listless light was even more...
You can't feel any warmth at all.
Higashinohara raised the collar of his windbreaker, trying to give himself some warmth.
But in the end it is all in vain.
If you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that the people in the Adjudication Department call the world behind the [Border] Gate "hell".
I don't know if I read some depressing records in that diary. At this time, even Higashinohara, who had lived in this world for more than 20 years in his previous life, felt that everything around him was very "underworld".
I can't feel the slightest breath of the world.
At this time, a gust of morning wind carried a chill and came out from the gaps between the inverted tall buildings not far away. It blew back and forth on the empty street, and a ghostly whimpering sound penetrated from the gaps between everyone's collars.
For a moment, many non-flesh superpowers in the investigation team couldn't help but shudder, and a layer of fine goose bumps arose on the surface of their skin.
At this moment, most of the investigation team stationed in the temporary camp on the street have all woken up, and their eyes occasionally drift to Gray Mane, who is sitting not far away and is sleeping with his eyes closed.
Now there are two roads before them,
In other words, there is only one way!
Because if they want to go back alive, they must gamble their luck and return to the residential building in the community where they were frightened at midnight last night to retrieve the supplies that they did not have time to pack up during their hasty retreat.
You know, if they don't have those supplies in seven days, then even if they don't die in the hands of those weird and unpredictable monsters, they will probably starve to death by themselves.
So this is their only option.
But at this moment, everyone was still quiet, and no one took the initiative to mention this.
Such a horrifying thing happened in that residential building last night, especially when they thought that there might be more than one terrifying monster in the building, everyone's eyes couldn't help but drift to the wounds that were hit by the monster in the dark last night.
At that time, except for the fifth-level physical system superpower Ji Yuanwenren who protected himself with both fists in time, the others had almost a dozen broken ribs, some bone spurs penetrated into the lungs, and they have been coughing up blood since midnight yesterday.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
The investigation team is divided into two groups, one group is composed of the black-robed enforcement team members of the Judgment Department, and the other group is composed of people hired from outside such as Higashinohara and Hela.
Obviously, both parties do not enjoy equal treatment.
Although everyone who was conscious was concerned about the materials left in the building that could keep them alive, they also didn't want to be the one who scouted the way for others, lest they die without knowing how.
For a moment, everyone looked up from time to time, looking at me and me, and then their eyes drifted towards the group of people from the Adjudication Department. The atmosphere in the morning suddenly became a little subtle.
Higashinohara seemed to have noticed something.
But he is different from others.
On the one hand, no one knows where this so-called "hell" is better than him, and on the other hand, it is the diary he just read in the morning light this morning.
Although there was only half of the diary, the woman named Ma Baoli, after discovering that her husband was having an affair with the butcher's wife upstairs, tied her hands and gagged her and smashed her face on the floor like crazy.
According to Higashinohara's analysis, he could probably guess that Ma Baoli did not succeed in committing suicide and died in bed, otherwise there would be no diary on May 22.
The possibility of someone else writing it is too low, and it would be difficult to write down the content and psychological activities of this day in such detail.
Reconnecting with the strange situation Ma Baoli showed last night, Higashinohara guessed that the poor woman named Ma Baoli might have suddenly transformed into that appearance under the influence of an unknown "tide". It seemed that she should belong to
The "unconscious" demon that Gray Mane talked about last night.
As for smashing the floor in the middle of the night and repeating words such as "Liars, men are all liars", these two are more like "unconscious" and instinctive manifestations.
At this time, the only doubt in Higashinohara's mind was to sort it out according to the timeline.
What if Ma Baoli was knocked unconscious by her scumbag husband who had just been married for half a year while having an affair, and was stuffed under the bed. After waking up, she tried to commit suicide, but the "tide" happened to happen, and she finally became an unconscious strange monster.
So who recorded the diary of that day?
Can you keep a diary without conscious awareness?
In other words, she may not have lost consciousness immediately at that time. Her consciousness may have been gradually lost in the process of constant "alienation", so she was able to record those contents in her diary.
This seems to be a more reasonable explanation.
So the question now is, since Ma Baoli transformed into a strange demon when the unknown "tide" came, what about her husband and the woman who had an affair?
Was the alienated Ma Baoli killed in revenge?
Will they also be affected by the tides and undergo alienation?
Or it could be said that the tide was just a necessary but not sufficient condition for people at that time to become alienated and become monsters, just like the relationship between "wet ground" and "rain".
The wet ground is not necessarily caused by rain, but rain will definitely make the ground wet.
Similarly, the world that Higashinohara was familiar with in his previous life has become a "hell" in the eyes of people in the world he lives in now. The transformation of human beings into "different demons" must be related to the tide, but the tide may not necessarily make everyone become a "hell".
Strange Demon".
So what are the "necessary conditions" for alienation to occur?
Thinking of this, Higashinohara couldn't help but fell into thinking, and seemed to grasp something vaguely in his mind.
It's a pity that the diary was torn in half by someone unknown. Otherwise, Higashinohara might be able to analyze and restore the so-called "tide" from the following content. What kind of impact did it have on human beings? What Gray Man said
What is the nature of several different levels of strange demons?
These are all a fog.
However, if you want to go back to the residential building in that community to investigate again, Higashinohara has an advantage that no one else has, and that is the diary in his hand.
From the perspective of a newly married woman who has just moved to this community, she records the general situation of each household in that residential building day by day. Now, I don’t know how many years later, when the world has fallen into silence and strange demons are rampant.
, to a certain extent, this diary can almost be regarded as the "explanatory guide to the strange demon illustration" of this community.
If Higashinohara returns to that residential building in the community now and walks into a random house, combined with Ma Baoli's records in her diary, Higashinohara will be able to roughly recall what kind of people lived in that family who knows how many years ago.
.
This is not known as knowing yourself and the enemy.
But at least it can prevent him from turning blind and being so passive when encountering anything.
Gu Min
In the temporary camp on the street, Gray Mine, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, finally opened his eyes, which were closed and meditative, and glanced at the people gathered around him, and said in a gentle voice:
"I believe you all know that we must retrieve the materials that were left in that building. I don't need to say more about this. What I want to say is another point. We must investigate the movement trajectory of those strange demons. Why did they do it last night?
We have obviously checked the community, but at night the strange demons reappeared without warning. Where are they hiding? Do they have a fixed pattern of activities? "
After hearing Gray Mane's words, everyone's faces showed thoughtful expressions.
Yes, if the residential building in that community is really full of strange demons, why is there no movement during the day or even in the evening, and then at night the demons start dancing wildly.
Does this mean the demons only move at night?
Is it the daylight in hell that limits them?
Or is it just that the devil prefers to move at night?
It is very important for them to understand this point, because it is related to how they can spend the next six days safely.
Having said this, Gray Mine paused and continued, "Before these things are clear, it is impossible for all the people behind us to approach rashly, so for the people I will name next, your mission is very important.
Responsible for sneaking into the community to re-investigate, and the rest of us will be outside to provide support at any time."
After hearing Gray Mane's words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Some of the people who were hired even felt bitter. Gray Mane would definitely choose from those people he hired next. Is this the purpose of the Adjudication Division hiring us?
support?
Do not make jokes.
If something really happened, he would probably run faster than anyone else.
Sure enough, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
If they had known that they would come to such an eerie ghost place this time and stay there for seven days before going back, then no matter how generous the conditions offered by the Adjudication Division were, they would not have signed up for this social recruitment.
Taking the lifeless flower is simply the greatest tragedy.
"Built by the Seven Seas."
Just when everyone was so nervous that the air seemed to freeze, Gray Mane spoke, and in a gentle voice he mentioned Nanami Kenjiro's kana.
At this moment, Nanami Kenjiro once again put the common pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose to block his soundless dead fish eyes, and also blocked the look in his eyes at this time.
However, the other people around who were not named were relieved and secretly rejoicing. At the same time, looking at Nanami Kenjiro in the crowd, who was dragging his empty right arm in the wind, their eyes were suddenly filled with sympathy.
Sure enough, you can't quarrel with anyone but your superiors, otherwise sooner or later you will have to wear your own shoes.
When they evacuated that kind of residential building last night, everyone guessed that the Adjudication Department must have concealed information from them in this operation. They all swallowed their anger and dared not speak out, but only this man stood up. This time
Being sent to explore such a dangerous place?
Not to mention the third-level monsters with a high risk of appearing blue, even the monster with weird abilities like the one last night that used its head as a big hammer to hit people, probably wouldn't be that easy to deal with.
Alas, I can only wish him good luck in my heart.
Everyone was thinking this with lingering fear.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gray Mane suddenly stroked his chin and glanced at the people around him again, "But one person may not be enough. I think maybe one more person should follow him, just in case he comes out after entering."
I can take care of everything."
Still need to send someone?
You must know that among the ten people hired by the investigation team, except for Higashinohara, one of them was injured while fighting the alienated Ma Baoli last night, and is still lying on the ground in a miserable state, looking like he is breathing out more than he is breathing.
With their lack of energy, they might give up in this hell at any time.
Therefore, if Gray Mane wanted to increase the number of investigators, he could only choose from the remaining eight people. His own people in the Judgment Division of the investigation team were automatically ignored for this kind of task.
No one dared to refute anything.
They could only lower their gazes unconsciously when Gray Mane glanced at him.
Gray Mane couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw this.
In fact, he already has a candidate in mind, but he enjoys this kind of control over other people's lives, and gets all kinds of awe-filled pleasure from it.
What a cowardly and weak group of human beings.
After a while, Gray Mane coughed dryly and was about to announce the second candidate.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two voices suddenly came from in front of and behind him.
"I go."
"Let me go!"
After the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
I’ve seen PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
But no one has ever seen someone actively "seeking death."
You know, the investigation of sneaking in is said to be a wayfinding, but when you walk into that eerie residential building, someone might really die if you are not careful.
Of these two people who take the initiative to "not be afraid of death", one of them is Higashinohara.
Higashinohara looked past Gray Mane, but was a little surprised when he landed on Hela, who applied at the same time as him.
Hela, who had light blue shoulder-length hair, glanced at Higashinohara with a faint look in her eyes, and a look of surprise on her face.
Higashinohara smiled bitterly and shook his head inwardly. He had some things waiting to go back to investigate and verify. But why did this guy come to join in the fun?
However, Gray Mine, who enjoys the sense of superiority in controlling the fate of others, said that although the second candidate he wanted to send out was Higashinohara, the young man who also contradicted him last night, he used one move to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
To warn those hired humans.
The result seemed to be somewhat counterproductive.
Taking a deep breath, Gray Mane's expression suddenly turned cold and he said, "Since you want to go, then go, but Hela will stay and replace you with Camilla. The three of you will set off to investigate together."
