Anu walked quickly in the Governor's Palace, walking in a hurry.
It can be seen that everyone in the Governor's Mansion is busy up and down, and no one stops.
The entire Moonlight City has been completely sealed off, and the plague is spreading continuously in the city. There are more and more patients in the Medical Fort every day, but the cause and solution have not yet been found.
People in the city were panicked, and everyone was filled with fear and fear.
Anu, the governor of Moonlight Province, traveled around the city from morning to night, solving endless problems, trying his best to maintain order in the city, and mobilizing resources and manpower to prevent and control the plague.
No, as soon as he came back, he saw an official from the Governor's Mansion approaching him.
At first glance, I knew that I wanted to report the situation to him.
Anu raised his head and knew from the other person's expression that it was definitely not a good thing. However, there was too much bad news these days, and it seemed that one more bad news was not worth the uproar in Anu's heart.
Anu sat down first and then asked: "Tell me, what happened again?"
The official stood in front of the table and told Anu: "Your Majesty the Governor, the plague has spread outside the city."
"Now the plague has broken out in many towns outside the city. They all have terrible black poisonous spots on their bodies, and then they fall into coma."
"It's certain that it came from the city."
Anu stood up immediately after hearing this. Although he expected it to be bad news, the bad news still shocked Anu, and then his shock turned into anger.
"what happened?"
"Didn't I already issue an order? No one is allowed in or out without my order, and all patients and corpses must be handled centrally."
"How did the plague spread?"
The official replied in a low voice: "I heard from below that some nobles and businessmen have sneaked out recently. It may be because of them that it spread outside."
Anu slammed the table and roared.
"Damn it!"
"These guys deserve to die."
"It's these guys who do bad things every time. Famine, war, and plague are all inseparable from them."
"The evil spirits in the abyss are not as good as them. They are the real cancer and the real plague in this world."
As soon as Anu heard this, he knew that something was wrong below. Not only the nobles, but also other people in the city were disobeying his orders.
But it's too late to solve it now.
Even if all those involved are arrested and dealt with, it is impossible to put the plague back in the cage.
He felt exhausted.
Anu couldn't sit still any longer. After issuing a few orders in the Governor's Mansion, he immediately came to the Medical Fort.
Anu put on the clothes in the medical fort and put on the unique mask. He saw the chief doctor of the medical fort who was busy: "How many people died today?"
The great doctor told Anu: "Your Majesty Governor, twenty-one people died in the medical fort. However, dozens of corpses were sent from outside. Before they could be counted and processed, the medical fort did not have enough manpower."
Anu told the other party another bad news: "The plague has also appeared outside the city. We must send people to deal with it. At least we must teach them how to prevent the plague and how to deal with the corpses."
After listening, the doctor sighed.
"More and more people are dying, and there may be more in the future."
Anu asked: "Have you found a solution to the problem?"
The great doctor shook his head: "Currently we only know that this plague can be transmitted through water and body fluids, so the drinking water in the city must be treated to see if it is contaminated, and prevention and control must be carried out among everyone."
Anu nodded: "I have issued the order before, but it seems that the effect is not very good so far."
The great doctor nodded: "So what I want to tell the Governor now is the discovery we just made today. We found that after the death of infected people, some strange things grew on the corpses."
"These weird things will emit some dust and spread it in the air, making other people infected with the plague."
Anu immediately said: "Shouldn't all the corpses born during the plague be burned together?"
"As long as it's burned, there should be no problem, right?"
The great doctor immediately stopped: "Absolutely not. This is one of the reasons why the plague has been spreading recently. After the corpses were burned, a lot of dust floated out, infecting more people."
"I also judged this through the areas where the recent plague outbreak has been the worst."
"So today, I have just banned the burning of corpses."
Anu was stunned. He never thought of burning the corpses as a prevention method, but instead became the cause of the spread of the plague.
Then, Anu's face became even uglier.
"this……"
"But if the corpses are not burned and these plague-infected corpses turn into ghouls, the situation will really be out of control."
This is not an ordinary world, this is an extraordinary world. Those dead corpses may turn into monsters at any time and crawl out of the grave again.
Anu doesn't know how to describe this situation. To add insult to injury is an understatement.
As for monsters, Anu can fight them without fear.
For rebellion, Anu can suppress it, at least using means and strategies.
When a famine occurs, he can dispatch supplies for relief.
But when the plague happened, Anu felt that he had become powerless. This invisible but deadly thing made all his strength go to waste.
Anu suddenly looked at the great doctor and had an association.
"Do you think this plague is related to those ghouls?"
"Is it related to the scum of the Silver Church?"
The great doctor didn't know how to judge: "This disease is too strange. I don't know where it came from. It doesn't look like it was man-made, but it can't appear out of thin air?"
"I don't know the answer. Maybe only you can find the answer?"
In the end, the great doctor could only take Anu to the back of the medical castle, where these doctors conducted research on the plague.
Here, the body of the first infected person is still placed.
Dressed in black and wearing a mask, Anu entered an empty, dark and closed underground room. It was bitingly cold here. In order to preserve the corpse, the doctors arranged a special ritual formation here.
The moment Anu came in, he looked at the corpse placed on the table. Through the white coarse cloth covering it, he could see that the corpse had scales and had human-like limbs but a tail.
That's right, the first person to die from the plague was a lizard man.
There was also a corpse of a monster lying in the corner, also covered with a layer of white cloth, and it also looked lifeless.
The moment the lizard man died, the wind lizard he owned also died.
Intelligent and powerful people have great power, but their bodies are still fragile. Sometimes diseases can also take away their lives, especially this strange and unprecedented plague.
Anu stepped forward and lifted the white cloth. You can see that many of the scales on the lizard man's body have rotted and fallen off, and pieces of black things have grown on them. Some black pieces even squeezed out from the gaps between the scales, like
It looked like some kind of plant was growing on the corpse.
The doctor immediately stood up to Anu and said, "Mr. Governor, don't touch that black thing."
"Once it breaks, it will turn into countless dust and float into the air. Doctors have been infected due to this reason before."
Anu nodded and waved the doctors to exit.
He is a third-level powerful person. As long as he takes precautions in advance, he can naturally use his power to isolate these things from the outside and prevent them from invading his body.
Anu looked at the lizard man corpse with various emotions in his eyes.
"What is the reason that caused you to be infected with this plague?"
"Is it man-made, or just an accident?"
Anu put his hand on the opponent's head, and the light of divine magic surged at his fingertips.
"My compatriots."
"If your death is man-made, please tell me who is responsible."
"If this is a natural disaster, please tell me the reason why everything happened."
Anu is preparing to read the memory from the corpse's brain.
He has used this power before, but even when reading memories, sometimes you can't see exactly what you want to see.
There is a high probability that what you read will be incomplete and useless fragments. You can see what you want by trying your luck, and the probability is conceivable.
Moreover, the other party has been dead for so long, let alone what can be read.
Anu put his hand on it and used magical spells many times in succession, but still didn't see what he wanted, and even several of the magical spells failed directly.
But the last time, Anu saw a picture of the lizard's life. He entered the warehouse of the Governor's Mansion and sorted and packed away the things in the warehouse.
For example, long-horned fossils that need to be preserved in water, various ambers and the like.
And those things were the gifts given to Anu by the Aiwel people before.
"Evelites?"
Doubt appeared on Anu's face, and countless thoughts came to his mind for a while, but he immediately shook his head.
"No, there is no reason."
"They don't have any reason to do this."
Just when Anu was wondering, he suddenly found a white spot on the lizard man's body.
After being infected by the plague, the entire body of the lizardmen turned black, covered with black spots, and strange black lumps grew on their flesh.
Therefore, this white color was particularly conspicuous, which made Anu make a confused sound.
"White?"
"What's this?"
If you look closely, some of them look like bubbles or spores of some kind of plant.
If you look carefully, it feels like a smooth piece of white meat.
Anu did not touch it directly, but prepared to use his mental power to peel it off and take a look.
But before Anu's mental power could reach the other party, the white thing actually moved.
The white foam multiplied rapidly and spread rapidly along the scales of the corpse, seeming to want to completely engulf the corpse.
Anu's expression changed immediately, and his whole person's vigilance instantly increased.
He looked at the "white foam" on the corpse with caution.
"what happened?"
But it was not enough to just watch the foam swallow up the corpse. He also wanted to find the source of the plague through this corpse.
Anu immediately cast a magical spell, specifically targeting the things on the corpse.
He wanted to clean out the "white foam" and then tie it up.
But the moment the magic and spirit touched the "white foam", he himself was like a drop of water falling into the sea.
"Dong Weng!"
Anu felt as if his head had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and his whole body was spinning.
He wanted to use magic to restrain it, but he was swallowed by the sea; he was like an insect trying to block the rolling wheel, and ultimately suffered the consequences.
The white foam itself is an existence whose personality far exceeds that of Anu, and there is no way he can shake it.
A moment.
His consciousness was pulled into an unknown world.
This is a pure white world, in which densely packed white mythical fungi form various forms and look at Anu, making various sounds.
Those white bubbles mimicked everything in the world, watching the lizard man Anu from above.
"mortal!"
"lizard Man!"
"Living Lizardmen."
"The living cannot be broken down."
"This is a law of nature."
"How did he get in?"
"He touched the lizard-man specimen that was being decomposed and analyzed for mimicry."
What Anu saw was the bacteria of nothingness, which was decomposing the corpse of the dead lizard man, learning about the lizard man's life form, the secrets of their bloodline and reproduction.
It's as if they decomposed the horseshoe crab's body and obtained the horseshoe crab's mimicry.
Anu felt like he had been hit hard, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
His consciousness was bound in the void and he could not move at all.
He used his consciousness to sense his surroundings. He scanned the surroundings and above, and saw the high-altitude Luhe that mimicked all things.
He saw snake people, winged people, big trees, various animals and even bugs.
They're all made of that white stuff.
Anu immediately understood something. He must have encountered something extraordinary, but he searched through the memories in his mind and found no description of such an existence.
He asked blankly: "Who are you?"
In an instant, it seemed that many people were responding to him at the same time and telling him their names.
The cry was as loud as a river rushing through mountains and seas, and it exploded in Anu's mind, making him want to cover his ears. Only then did he realize that he was just a conscious body.
"I am nothingness."
"I am nothingness..."
"Nothingness...nothingness...nothingness..."
Everyone is saying that they are nothingness, as if they all share the same name.
They are using different organs to make sounds, and some even use the vibrations of their wings and membranes to make sounds similar to speech.
Anu was shaken by the sound, but still shouted to the sky: "Did you cause the plague?"
The bacteria of nothingness answered him: "It was not us who caused the plague, but something else."
One of the white foam-like creatures fell in front of Anu, and instantly formed a strange, slimy insect with tentacles.
"This is it."
Looking at the insect with tentacles, Anu suddenly recalled something.
The Aiweier people gave him many gifts, including what looked like a long "stone horn".
He asked the Ewell man at the time: "What is this?"
The other party told Anu: "This is not a stone, but the shell of a kind of insect that lived in the sea a long time ago. It should not be found now. Look at its long horns, which look like weapons."
This kind of shell is placed in water, and the Aiweier people say that this is the only way to keep it bright and beautiful.
When Anu took the gift with his hand, he lowered his head and saw a slimy-looking bug with two tentacles in the bucket.
"I've seen it."
Anu never imagined that the cause of the plague would be such an insignificant insect.
"It turns out that this is what caused the plague."
Anu asked those shadows made of white foam, imitating the existence of all things in the world.
"These are brought here by those Aiweier people. Why don't they have anything to do?"
The Void Bacteria said: "There is something inside this insect, something you cannot see."
"That thing is not harmful to itself, and it is not harmful to the snake people in the first place."
"But after this lizard man was infected, this thing changed in his body, and eventually became the plague you are talking about now."
Anu finally understood the reason for the birth of the plague, but this kind of secret involving the underlying mysteries and operations of the world would probably make him think and search for a lifetime, but he might not be able to find the real answer.
But at this moment, these beings in front of him seemed to have directly seen how the invisible things at the bottom of the world were operating, and they completely explained the changes to him.
Anu was extremely confused as to what the white foam in front of him was and why they imitated the shapes of everything in the world.
"who are you?"
"How do you know so clearly?"
All the bacteria of nothingness looked at Anu, and used thousands of organs to make sounds, describing their identities to him again.
"We are the tenth Ruh created by the Lord of Life, called nothingness."
"We decompose all things and we imitate all things."
"We are the reincarnation and cycle of nature."
At this point, the voices of all the bacteria of nothingness gathered together and charged towards Anu.
"Lizard Man, you have disturbed our process of decomposing life."
Ordinary people cannot see the bacteria of nothingness, nor can they come into contact with it.
Although bacteria of nothingness are everywhere, only their tentacles, those ordinary microorganisms, are exposed to people.
It's just that this lizard man was the first lizard man to die after the birth of the Void Bacteria, so the Void Bacteria came here to decompose his body, obtain the secret of his life, and at the same time imitate its complete form.
And Anu interrupted the process of the void bacteria decomposing the lizard people, so he was pulled here by it.
"Ruch?"
Anu understood the other party's words and found that the other party turned out to be the tenth God of Ruh created by the Master of Life.
Perhaps the other party has not truly become a god, but the other party already possesses the power of a god.
Anu was a little frightened and uneasy. He did not expect that he would encounter such a being, but then the lizard man's mind changed. This was not a turning point and an opportunity.
"Please forgive me for intruding."
"But I didn't do it on purpose, but because we are facing the plague and disaster you mentioned, we have to find the reasons."
"Since you know the real cause of the plague, do you know how to solve this plague?"
"Servant of the Lord of Life, the great Ruhe of Nothingness, I pray to you!"
"I pray that you, the great one, will give help to mortals."
Bacteria of Nothingness: "Of course I can solve this plague, but why should I help you?"
Anu tried to impress the other party: "Because this can save countless people, countless people will appreciate your greatness, and even become your believers."
It's a pity that the bacteria of nothingness cannot understand the meaning of salvation in Anu's mouth.
"Save countless people?"
"Why save them?"
"believer?"
"What is a believer?"
"Why believers?"
Anu said: "Because they should not have died like this, they can live a better life, their families should not suffer this kind of pain, and they can be reunited with their wives, children and parents."
"Great Nihiluch, please have mercy on these mortals and save them!"
"Believers are your servants in the world. They will follow your will and serve you throughout their lives."
If Anu doesn't understand those human gods, it's even more difficult for him to understand the existence of Ruch.
Those gods in the world were once mortals, and most of them still have shadows of their past.
But Ruhe is different.
They are the sea of clouds and the sky, the vast earth, the ocean and the desert.
Anu's statement may be able to impress the gods in the world, but it has no meaning to Ruhe.
In the white world, the white mythical fungus that mimics all things told Anu in thousands of voices.
"Birth and death are the laws of life, the cycle of the world, and a part of nature."
"Green plants will rot and turn into ashes, fluttering insects will fall to the ground in the cold winter, and animals will be buried in the soil when their life span reaches the end."
"New green plants will grow out of the dead ashes, insects will take off again in the spring, and animals will give birth to the next generation before they grow old."
"Death is an eternal fact, why should we save them from death?"
As for the believer's question, the other party ignored it and seemed to disdain to answer.
Anu also tried to explain something: "But, the great nothingness Ruhe."
"They have not yet reached the end of their lifespan. They should not have died at this time. This is an abnormal disaster."
Fungi of Nothingness: "Floods will cause land to disappear, fires will cause forests to disappear, and life will disappear in various disasters."
"All of this is still a natural cycle."
The bacteria of nothingness was not moved at all, and even found what Anu said to be incomprehensible.
Anu also suddenly understood something.
He remembered what the Scarlet Goddess told him, that gods also have positions.
If he represents mortals, the gods represent their respective positions.
Then, the Ruhe of Nothingness in front of us represents the reincarnation of nature.
It is impossible for him to stretch out his hand out of pity for mortals.
Because in the view of Ruhe of Nothingness, perhaps the entire snake people, winged people and lizard people have disappeared and become extinct. That is just a natural choice.
It is the destined ending of life and race, and new lives and races will naturally replace them in the future.
Anu was a little anxious because he felt that he had missed this opportunity and it might be difficult to find a solution to this plague.
Now the plague has spread. On the surface it has only spread to two or three cities and a dozen villages and towns. Who knows what it is like secretly.
His thoughts suddenly changed, and he raised his head and shouted towards those figures that mimicked all things.
"Ruhe of Nothingness!"
"I see."
"Please forgive me for my unreasonable request. I should not speculate on the great you as a mortal."
But when he said this, Anu's voice changed.
"But this body belongs to the lizard people, my compatriots, our family."
"You can't just take him away, it's unreasonable."
The bacteria of nothingness became silent, and after a long time, the bacteria of nothingness told the lizardman Anu.
"About your question."
"We have decided to hold a meeting to discuss it, and your questions will be answered after the meeting."
Anu was stunned for a moment. He still had a meeting. What did this mean?
Afterwards, his consciousness was expelled from this white world and returned to his body.
The bacteria of nothingness started a new round of quarrels.
"Decomposition is the bounden duty of microorganisms. It is part of the natural reincarnation and cycle. It is our responsibility. Any corpse belongs to us."
"That's right. When we were decomposing other corpses, why didn't anyone from those races give us their opinions?"
"We don't have to ask anyone for advice."
"It was different before. None of them were intelligent species. How could they give opinions without intelligence?"
"As for the snake people, they didn't put forward any opinions!"
"Because the snake people do not have a unified king, nor a unified god."
"This Anu seems to be the king of the lizard people, and he is qualified to make demands."
"We don't need to care..."
"We should solicit..."
The bacteria of nothingness in the glass jar started arguing again, and this was another meeting where it was difficult to see the answer.
——
Under the lava volcano.
Temple of Glass in Black Rock City.
Under the altar, Sally was squatting and looking down at her glass jar, holding her little face in her hands.
"Well!"
"Hmm..."
She thought about it for a long time, but still didn't think of the other functions of the Void Bacteria.
It seems that it can only be used as a sand table, just like Sheila's mirror, but Sally hopes that it can have some other stronger functions.
There is also the remains of King Lederiki under the statue. At this moment, one of them is kneeling and the other is squatting.
Sally turned her head and saw the remains of the stone statue, feeling a little reluctant.
She was a little frustrated and suddenly turned around with her mouth pouted.
He said to the figure standing in the center of the temple.
"god!"
"If you had chosen me as your wisdom, I would have been smarter than him."
The white-clothed god in the temple spoke and told her.
"Then you are no longer Sally."
"You are life, so you are Sally."
Sally seemed to understand and understand something, but she was still a little frustrated.
God spoke again at this time and said: "The Crown of Wisdom is the source of wisdom and the beginning of all wisdom."
"It's like your mother snail of all things. If you have it, can you create all the life you want to create?"
"These two artifacts represent the beginning and origin, and represent the cornerstone of wisdom and life. Without them, everything will collapse."
"The life and wisdom you brought will be lost."
"But that does not represent the limit of life and wisdom. It is not yet known how tall towers and temples can be built on it."
Sally also thought of her mother snail and the creation of her own winged man.
She ran to God Insai and told Him.
"I originally wanted to create the winged race in your dream, but I ended up creating a group of weird-looking winged people."
"But in the end, through the power of wisdom, those winged people turned into what I wanted to create."
"really weird!"
God Insai told Sally: "So you are the cornerstone of life and wisdom, but life and wisdom are still exploring their limits and creating their own miracles."
The god in white robe led the girl to the glass jar. Sally picked up the glass jar from the ground, placed it on the altar, and then looked at it with the god.
Yin Shen told Sally: "The future is unpredictable, but there are some things that can be deduced."
Sally knew the answer God was going to tell her, and couldn't wait to ask: "God, what is it?"
In her eyes, God knows the answers to everything in the world, as long as He wants to tell you.
Yin Shen: “For example, the evolution of life.”
Yin Shen pointed to the outside world and the entire earth.
"You cannot control the future of this world, but you can control the evolution of life, because you know the secrets of all life."
"Sally, you are the master of life."
"Billions of lives were born because of your authority and evolved because of your power."
The Creator took the little girl's hand and showed her the possibilities of the world.
At the same time, he told her the true power of the authority she inherited from him.
The two people seemed to be standing in the temple, but the whole world appeared in front of them, with the world and everything under them.
God's voice reached Sally's ears and seemed to open a door for her.
"therefore!"
"You can know what the future of life will look like in advance!"
One sentence is spoken, and the process of the world is promoted.
Sally looked at her glass tank, looking at the giant island of Luhe and all the mimicry things in the glass tank.
A smile appeared on her face and she said happily.
"god!"
"I see."
The bacteria of nothingness can imitate the world, the environment and nature.
By decomposing the corpse of a species, you can learn all the secrets of that species, and you can completely mimic the life form of the other species.
What if in this glass jar, she concentrated her efforts to deduce the evolutionary process of a certain species and chose it as the protagonist.
Is it possible to see what a species will become in the future?
Is it possible to see the limits of what a species can achieve?
At least, he can see one of the possibilities.
Sally found the true power of the Void Bacteria, or she knew how to use her power.
