369 Signal

◎Who contacted her?◎

At the Huo family's house, the candlelight flickered. Huo Wenxi immersed himself completely in the ocean of consciousness. The fate of Zhu Ning's team was still unknown, like a spinning top that had not stopped.

Huo Wenxi paused her divination, guessing that she would not receive any news from Zhu Ning for a long time, and the next time she was notified might be to collect Zhu Ning's body.

Her game with Huo Jinsheng did not stop. There was no blood on their battlefield, but it was very likely that people were dying while they were talking.

The tentacles in Huo Wenxi's eye sockets drooped, and Huo Wenxi whispered, "What are the influencing factors?"

After entering Utopia, Zhu Ning's fate suddenly became unknown, and even that of their entire team.

Huo Jinsheng shook his head: "I don't know, I discovered it a long time ago."

When Huo Jinsheng learned of Zhu Ning's existence, she certainly considered whether this path might be a way out. There must be an answer to whether Zhu Ning is a devil or a savior, but when she discovered something very strange, she couldn't see clearly.

In the boundless ocean of consciousness, Zhu Ning's future is so vague.

The old witch can see the direction of human destiny, but she can't see a man-made person clearly. This kind of case usually happens when the object of divination is too huge, not powerful, but huge.

Just as you cannot predict the fate of the stars, the length of time it takes for the other party to fall is far beyond your understanding, so it remains unknown.

And now this phenomenon is expanding, as if it is some kind of pollution source. Everyone who has anything to do with Zhu Ning has shown vague characteristics. Before, it was only Zhu Ning himself, but now it includes their team.

Huo Wenxi changed the subject: "You originally wanted Zhu Ning to die in Utopia?"

Huo Jinsheng nodded. The Federation tried to assassinate Zhu Ning on the road, but Zhu Ning's whereabouts were difficult to figure out. After Prometheus sent out No. 0056, it lost Zhu Ning's exact whereabouts in the Mold City.

Later, they placed their hopes on the natural defenses outside the wall. They originally thought that Zhu Ning would die in Utopia, but now it is unknown, and all assassination attempts will be in vain.

Huo Wenxi: "So I haven't lost yet."

The path she chose is still possible.

Huo Jinsheng reminded her: "But you didn't win either."

Huo Wenxi fell silent, a pain spreading in her heart. Half of the abnormal event investigation team had died. It was easy to crush them, and even just the tip of the iceberg of the secret was revealed. This was the price she had to pay.

Even Huo Wenxi couldn't collect the body immediately, nor could he calm down and mourn.

Huo Jinsheng looked away to avoid looking directly at the tentacles in Huo Wenxi's eye sockets. That thing made her feel instinctively fearful.

Huo Jinsheng turned his ring and regained his consciousness: "There is a natural defense field in front of Prometheus's location."

Huo Wenxi: "The Far North."

This is the last chance for the Kingdom of God to stop Zhu Ning. Prometheus may choose to take action here, and the Far North itself means danger, and no one has been able to pass through it so far.

Huo Jinsheng: "Suppose your ally really did travel through the Far North and she really faced Prometheus."

Huo Wenxi: "She will kill him."

There is no doubt about this. Zhu Ning is just pursuing a personal grudge and does not care about the fate of mankind at all.

Huo Jinsheng asked: "And then?"

Huo Wenxi paused, knowing what she was leading him to think. "Then the federal defense wall failed, and the kingdom of God fell."

Huo Jinsheng had been listening attentively all along, and remained patient no matter how rude Huo Wenxi's actions were. He interrupted Huo Wenxi for the first time and said, "Humanity is extinct."

These four words were very cold and resounding, but Huo Wenxi could not refute them. Judging from the information currently known, this outcome is very likely to happen. The only way out for mankind is Lu Yuan, and there is only one last step left.

Lu Yuan will give birth to new humans, and she will lead humans onto a brand new path.

Huo Jinsheng: "Have you ever considered that your ally is a demon?"

Of course I thought about it. I was worried when Zhu Ning walked out of the wall. At that time, Zhuang Lin also asked about Huo Wenxi's mood.

From the perspective of the Kingdom of God, Huo Wenxi is dancing with the devil and leading humanity to destruction.

…

Chemical plant near the north wall.

Looking down from above, the nearby streets were in a mess. Under the rocks, there was a shocking sight: human bones were crushed, and blood slowly spread out from the ruins and flowed to the edge of a black cloth shoe. The blood merged with the black upper and did not make it darker.

The black insect squirmed and rustled as it climbed back, finding its place on the black robe.

One of Teacher Qi's hands was still hanging in the air, with black bugs surrounding her fingertips. Just as she said, they were just mice and would die quickly.

She couldn't tell the names of the dead people. She remembered that a female investigator tried to resist before she died. She had a high ponytail and moved very agilely. When she saw her own shadow, she didn't panic. Instead, she raised a gun at her. Even in such an extremely terrifying environment, her hands didn't shake.

But she didn't even pull the trigger, and her fate had already come, her body lying two blocks away.

Another person who impressed her was a man who stopped struggling before dying and seemed to be sending a message.

Teacher Qi raised her finger slightly, and the black matter in the ruins squirmed. She dug out Zhuang Lin's secondary brain from a pile of minced meat and handed it to her respectfully.

She held the completely shattered secondary brain between her fingers. Her hand was covered in blood and some flesh. Even the chip was cracked, and it was completely scrapped.

The male teacher came running over, wiping his sweat. He wasn't as skilled as Teacher Qi, so he only took care of two people. He asked, "Is it over?"

Teacher Qi hummed, glanced at him, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Her tone was very gentle, as it always was, but the male teacher knew that it was not concern at all, but just her politeness.

The male teacher's left arm was blown off, with only a little bone left connected, but he didn't know what was wrong. Instead of busying himself with healing and stopping the bleeding, he was busy wiping the sweat off his face, as if he would have been dead if he had wiped it a second later.

The male teacher quickly wet a handkerchief and said, "This group of people are quite stubborn. They actually tried to sneak attack me. I didn't see clearly and got tricked."

He threw away his handkerchief and took out a new tissue. He said he had some opinions about the team he had just encountered. "A sneak attack? How can you sneak attack?"

He was like the director of the moral education department, and felt that these petty thieves had moral problems.

Teacher Qi ignored the conversation and threw the broken secondary brain to him: "Someone sent a message."

The male teacher took it frantically, taking the bloody secondary brain. He pinched it with two fingers in disgust, picked out the broken flesh inside with a handkerchief, fiddled with it for a while, and said, "It's completely broken. Do you want to check it out?"

Teacher Qi: “No need.”

This team belongs to the investigation group, and at most it will be sent to Huo Wenxi, the immediate superior. Huo Wenxi will keep it with the old witch, who will explain it to her. She probably already knows what she needs to know, so there is no need to do this again.

The relationship between several aristocratic families in the Kingdom of God is very delicate. Teacher Qi knows that he has to save face when dealing with Huo Jinsheng. The old woman doesn't like others touching her people.

As long as Huo Wenxi is in the Huo family, she can't move no matter how unhappy she is.

But at least one problem was solved. Zhu Ningyuan was outside the wall, and Huo Wenxi was temporarily quiet. After all, there were only a small number of rebels, and there were few useful talents in District 103.

It's still a little short of the right timing, Teacher Qi thought. Huo Wenxi was born at the wrong time, and at this point, nothing can stop him.

As Teacher Qi was speaking, her body suddenly stiffened, as if a robot had run out of power and stood there in a daze, even its joints were stiff, and she looked like a female ghost in the ruins late at night.

The male teacher swallowed and silently took two steps back.

Countless black lines were struggling in Teacher Qi's mind, and the other end of the mental pollution was connected to her. After a moment, she smiled with relief, as if she had seen off a group of graduates. After the college entrance examination, she learned that they had all been admitted to good universities.

As a teacher, I am sincerely happy for them. They are girls with a bright future.

Teacher Qi: "This group of pilgrims has returned."

The male teacher breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to be busy picking up the pilgrims next.

Teacher Qi nodded slightly and said, "Let's go. We need to advance our plans."

The longer the night, the more dreams there are. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be. The Lu family is already prepared.

The male teacher wiped it with two more tissues and followed Teacher Qi's footsteps. Teacher Qi was originally stepping in the blood. When she was there, the blood was blocked. After she left, the blood continued to flow forward.

It only flowed for a moment, then the blood stopped, and the fresh blood gradually turned black and then slowly dried up.

The strong wind brought dust and sand, and the traces of death became shallower and shallower. The whole street was quiet, as if waiting for something, but time moved forward, and no miracle happened. No one was resurrected, and no one held a funeral for them.

All fifteen members of the abnormal incident investigation team died.

…

Kingdom of God.

A bony hand was hanging there, with blood dripping down. It was not bloody at all, but instead looked like some kind of work of art.

Lu Yuan accidentally cut her palm. Her blood looked very strange, as if it was struggling as if it were alive. If you looked closely, you could see things like fish eggs inside the blood.

Lu Yuan stared at the blood for a long time without stopping it. The blood soon accumulated at her feet. She even seemed to enjoy the pain a little bit. The pain gave her a very strange sense of pleasure.

She can control blood. What would happen if she drained all her blood? Would she die?

Her facial features were so delicate, but now her face was distorted. Looking at the blood, she suddenly couldn't help laughing and wanted to stab herself with a knife.

Is she crazy? She doesn't know.

She could sense the strangeness of the atmosphere and vaguely guessed that even though she didn't want to admit the disgusting fact, this thing was happening quietly.

The Lu family was busy, as if someone was holding a grand wedding and she was the most important bride. The guests had already received the wedding invitations and agreed on a time to attend the wedding banquet. The terrifying thing was that no one asked for her opinion or notified her.

The wedding time is unknown, the groom is unknown, but she knows that she is the protagonist.

The crazy thing is that she can't escape. As long as she gets close to the shield, she can hear Prometheus's ruthless reminder, please stay back and be safe.

She looked at Prometheus through the protective shield and took a step forward. Before she touched the shield, her hair hit it first, emitting a strange burnt smell, as if warning her that this would be the consequence of forcing her way through.

[Ms. Lu, please step back] Prometheus was cold and gentle, and he warned himself again.

Lu Yuan stared at him, wondering if he would really burn himself to death if he forced his way through. At this moment, the alarm sounded, attracting the guards of the Kingdom of God.

After that, she was trapped and even lost the freedom to go to Liao Xianglin to paint. She could no longer paint or attend social dinners, and her activities were limited to the Lu family.

Huo Wenxi asked her to be patient and not to take any action until she was sure. She did not listen to Huo Wenxi, and as expected, her situation became even more difficult.

Lu Yuan stared at the sharp dagger, which was stained with her blood. She smiled at the dagger, and that smile was very sweet.

She pressed down with her backhand. The recent training was very effective. If Pei Shu was at the Lu family, he would praise her for her faster sword-drawing speed. He would applaud with a dejected look on his face and say in a flat tone, "Young Miss, you are amazing."

Now the dagger was not aimed at the enemy, but at himself. The blade cut through his wrist and blood flowed out. The previous knife was accidental, but this one was intentional, and the meaning was completely different.

She dropped her wrists to the armrests of the chair, savoring the blood leaving her body and sighing, as if she had eaten a delicious meal and was enjoying it bit by bit.

It feels so good. Her vision is a little blurry, as if a new road is opening up before her eyes. Is this how her mother felt before she died?

She kept recalling the scene of her mother's death in her mind. She didn't know if it was a memory, but a picture had already formed in her mind: white sheets, large pools of bright red blood, and her mother's sad eyes.

Now she was the one lying in bed waiting to die.

The same sorrow, the same bloodshed, but it wasn't cruel enough, not enough. The carotid artery should have been cut horizontally, which would have been faster.

bite--

The sub-brain's prompt sounded, interrupting her thoughts without warning. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the sub-brain drowsily, her sweet smile still there.

Someone sent her a message from an unfamiliar number, one she didn't recognize at all.

She has only told Huo Wenxi about this number so far, and even Zhu Ning doesn't know it. If Zhu Ning wants to find her, he must first go to Huo Wenxi to ask.

The number is not Huo Wenxi's, it's Zhu Ning's?

Lu Yuan hasn't received any news from Zhu Ning for a long time. She and Zhu Ning live in two different worlds. Zhu Ning is the protagonist of the adventure story, and Lu Yuan is just a bystander reading her experiences.

But even this relationship was enough. She liked Zhu Ning's messages. Last time she received a forwarded message from Huo Wenxi, it was a very beautiful flying fishing line.

Lu Yuan looked for a long time. He had never seen such a spectacular view since he was a child. The sky had no boundaries, and transparent flying fish were hanging in the air.

She couldn't help but wonder, if Liu Yu had escaped from the North Wall, would she be able to live below the Feiyu Line?

Lu Yuan's fingers trembled. Maybe the picture this time was also very beautiful, which made her want to take a look. The cold electronic light source hit her face. Lu Yuan casually glanced at the signal source. This has always been her habit, but she frowned at this time. The signal source was not from outside the wall.

Who contacted her?

She put down the knife, quickly opened the secondary brain, and typed a few characters with her bloody fingers. The map kept zooming in, and the system automatically adjusted the exact sending location.

The signal actually came from...near the north wall?
