Chapter 135 Coincidence

"It's still too floating..."

At this moment, I finally realized that I had made a fatal mistake - I was too arrogant.

Because I stole the power of God, I mistakenly believed that I really had the ability to play games with God.

But I have only stolen a little of Gali's power and authority.

This amount of power is just the tip of the iceberg for the true God.

Even before I had completely transformed this little bit of power and authority, I had already begun to do some completely illogical things.

Apart from the fact that it was partly due to Gali's divinity, I'm afraid more of the reasons came from myself.

Suddenly gaining powerful strength, such a gap can indeed make people fascinated.

Fortunately, everything is still in time...

After sensing the situation nearby again, I found that the meat ball hidden in the atmosphere had disappeared at some point.

It was as if everything that had just happened had never existed, but the remaining pus, blood and flesh fragments on the ground all showed what had just happened.

For a moment, I wanted to retreat to Xinyan City first. I was not sure about the current situation in Tiannan City, but what was certain was that there were at least two evil gods watching here.

If you are not careful, you may fall into their trap.

But there must be a reason why the Morse code led me here.

Although the origin of Morse code is unknown, and I don't know the purpose of this code or the existence that sent it to me, at least so far, it has not harmed me.

The cost of distrust is very high, and if Morse code is really untrustworthy, it will lose its value as long as there is just one wrong message, and I still have the cost of trial and error.

However, it is better to be safe than sorry, so we should still be cautious.

After much thought, I decided to stay here for a while, find out the situation here first, and then make a decision.

He had just used his power several times, and each time attracted the attention of the evil god.

Now I was completely honest and adjusted my mindset. I decided not to use overly powerful abilities unless necessary.

I squatted down, picked up a wooden stick from the ruins, and poked the lumps of flesh that had begun to rot on the ground.

It seems to have completely lost its life...

Because I was too arrogant before, I didn't even bring any useful equipment when I came out.

Otherwise, you can collect some meatball samples and study them slowly.

Of course, I am not a scientific researcher, so it is naturally impossible for me to provide specific and detailed scientific analysis like the laboratory staff of the Investigation Bureau.

So-called research does not necessarily require a proper laboratory to be carried out.

Thinking of this, I picked up a piece of meat paste from the ground, then walked to the glass of a building and threw the meat paste into the mirror.

Just now, I was hiding in the illusory shadows and it attracted the attention of the ancient god, so what will happen if I throw its product directly in?

I'm not worried at all that such behavior will affect the virtual world.

Because the essence of illusion is "non-existence", such a space will naturally collapse as long as I stop deliberately maintaining it, just like a projector showing a movie on a screen. It is not that a world appears on the screen, but as long as the projector is turned off, there will be nothing.

Immediately afterwards, I also stepped into the virtual world just now.

The black dog circled a few times, hesitated for a second, and followed me in.

Originally, I wanted to isolate it from the outside world, but when I thought about its connection with the power of the "Dark Moon", I changed my mind.

It would be better to put it in together and see what kind of collision these things will produce in the virtual world.

Interestingly, the meat paste did not undergo any obvious changes after being placed here.

However, this "Night Shadow Wolf" was different. It showed obvious anxiety and even exhibited stereotyped behaviors like ordinary animals.

And that feeling of being watched appeared again.

I immediately lifted the maintenance of the illusion and returned to the real world.

That just now gave me the kind of palpitations I hadn't felt in a long time.

However, this may not be a bad thing. Perhaps I need more humanity to maintain my original intention.

After calming down a little from the fear, I continued walking on the ruins.

And the black dog followed me from beginning to end.

Forget it, let it follow me if it wants. Although I can also kill it directly, it is obvious that it is more familiar with this place than me. I need a guide, and it happens that it shows some friendliness towards me.

I used my senses to carefully explore the surrounding situation while walking towards the previous Investigation Bureau base.

During the battle with Fan Buqiu, I lost consciousness in the latter half, so I didn't know the specific situation at that time. I could only guess from the fragmentary words of the man in black.

But obviously, there are still evil gods watching over Tiannan City.

And now it seems there's more than one.

If we go back to the investigation bureau here and investigate personally, we may get some other results.

Thinking this way, I came all the way to the Investigation Bureau. In order to avoid emergencies, I gave up using the mirror to jump and adopted the simplest method - climbing over the wall.

Although there is a protective net on the outside, this base was almost destroyed last time and the defense system was completely paralyzed, so it is not difficult to get inside.

Xiaobai also jumped in after me.

Entering the interior of the building, the house was dark. Even though it was daytime outside, not much light could penetrate inside.

The layout of the facilities on the floor remains the same as before, with no changes.

The only difference is that there are more footprints in the whole building. Although they are covered by dust, the traces can still be seen.

I squatted down and took a look. I recognized these low ridges of footprints. When I was free and not on a mission, I would clean up my uniform and wash it. When I brushed my shoes, I subconsciously looked at the soles of the shoes. The boots issued by the Investigation Bureau also had this kind of sole.

Although the patterns on the soles of the shoes are basically the same, this is the base of the Tiannan City Investigation Bureau branch. Apart from the members of the Investigation Bureau, basically no one will come here. What's more, there may be no survivors in Tiannan City at all.

It seems that the Investigation Bureau came here after Fan Buqiu offered sacrifices to the evil god, but later gave up on it for some reason.

Thinking of this, I suddenly recalled the Xinyan City Investigation Bureau branch.

The Xinyan City Investigation Bureau was suddenly emptied without any warning, and all the files and surveillance were taken away. This shows that it was not a sudden accident, but rather that they discovered something serious and had to leave.

Is there any connection between these two things?

Moreover, Xinyan City is not far from Tiannan City.

I recalled the previous Morse code prompts that told me to leave Xinyan City, but after I arrived in Tiannan City, there were no Morse code prompts.

It seems that the problem is most likely to occur in Xinyan City.

But what puzzles me is that when I was in Xinyan City, apart from the strange relocation of the Investigation Bureau, no other strange things happened.

On the contrary, Tiannan City seems to be more full of dangers. Not only is it watched by two evil gods, but even the sleepless fetal mother is trying to clear Tiannan City through the meat ball.

Apart from the "Night Shadow Wolf" Xiaobai, I have not seen any other abnormal units related to "Dark Moon".

Could it be that "Dark Moon" was defeated?

I was lost in thought when I suddenly realized that a little white dog following me had disappeared at some point.

I frowned, worrying that it had "turned dark" and was hiding in the dark, preparing to attack me, when I heard a wolf howl from upstairs.

I was confused and quickly reached the top floor.

There was a pool of residual blood on the floor of the top floor, which seemed to have been cleaned up by someone, and it was located in the corridor where we confronted Fan Buqiu.

At this moment, Xiaobai was parked at the door of one of the rooms on the top floor. It looked at me and raised its head towards the room.

Do you want me to come in?

With a skeptical attitude, I stepped into the room. It was just a lounge, and it was in a mess. There was nothing special about it.

I turned on my vision to sense abnormal forces but didn't find any fluctuations that looked like those of a living creature.

I looked at Xiaobai. It pressed its nose against the wall, then looked at me and wandered around for a few circles.

"You mean, there's something in here?"

I asked, pointing to the wall.

Xiaobai really understood what I meant. It stopped wandering and nodded.

I squatted next to the wall where Xiaobai pointed and tried knocking on it. The sound didn't seem hollow.

After using the Miao Dao to poke at the walls of the Investigation Bureau, it was found that they were made of special materials and could not be broken by ordinary means. Even a power-type evolver or mutant monster like Song Nanxing could not break them easily.

Due to the special building materials of the Investigation Bureau, space distortion cannot be used easily. If space distortion is used, not only will it not be able to break it, but it will also cause the entire wall to deform like twisting a rag. If it is not absolutely necessary, I still don't plan to use it.

Just when I was in trouble, Xiaobai suddenly let out a short cry, and then his body turned into a black shadow and disappeared out of thin air.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, alert to the sudden attack that might come at any time.

Although it is just a wolf and looks a bit dog-like, it does not mean that it is weak.

If I remember correctly, it is equivalent to an evolver who has evolved fifteen times.

What does fifteen times mean?

The captain has only evolved twelve times.

Although I wouldn't be at a disadvantage if a fight really came to a head, I don't want to make the same mistake of complacency as before.

What's more, this place was previously the territory of "Dark Moon". Although it now looks like "Sleepless Fetal Mother" has the upper hand, it is always better to be cautious.

When facing the evil god, you cannot be careless for even a second.

Sure enough, the next second it appeared out of thin air again, but this time it had a notebook in its mouth.

Xiaobai did not attack me. Instead, he put the notebook in his mouth on the ground in front of me, and then stood in front of me with his head held high.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a wolf, I would even doubt whether it would wag its tail.

I chuckled and stroked its head, and Xiaobai's eyes narrowed comfortably.

It's really a dog's worst dog.

Only then did I shift my gaze to the notebook on the ground.

This sight really surprised me.

I've seen this notebook...

It was the notebook I had casually put in my arms in the Apocalypse Sect's research room at the Hanwan City subway station.

The method I was trying to use to seal the replica with planetary symbols was also a guess I got from this notebook.

However, I should have thrown this notebook into the ruins of the battlefield in Hanwan City.

How come you are here?

I thought carefully about the situation at that time.

At that time, I seemed to have successfully sealed the replica, but I also lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was in the Apocalypse Sect.

There are only two reasons why this notebook appears here now.

One possibility is that someone from the Investigation Bureau picked up the notebook and hid it in the wall of the Tiannan City Investigation Bureau.

The other possibility is more terrifying: the members of the Apocalypse Sect are not all dead.

Thinking of this, I suddenly broke out in a sweat.

Was it a fish that slipped through the net? Or was it a more powerful being, one that could withstand the language of the ancient gods.

Also, why did Xiaobai know that this note was here?

"Can you find the owner of this notebook?"

I asked it while holding the notes.

Xiaobai just tilted its head slightly, as if a little confused about what I said. After a while, it moved closer to me and sniffed me.

I frowned. "You mean, this notebook smells like me?"

Xiaobai nodded honestly.

Now it's my turn to be confused. Although this notebook has stayed with me for a while, can the smell last that long?

Although I have indeed showered less frequently since the apocalypse, water is precious after all...

But I'm not so unhygienic as to marinate it, right?

However, this doubt was quickly dispelled by me. There were some bloodstains on the side of the notebook, which were left there when I was injured in the battle. Although more than a month has passed, it is not ruled out that some smell may remain.

But these are not the point. The point is why this notebook came back into my hands.

I even began to doubt whether I really picked up the notebook subconsciously when I did so.

If so, it was such a coincidence. I happened to pick up the notebook, happened to notice the torn page, and happened to see the remaining marks on it. Now, this notebook happened to be back in my hands again.

There aren't so many coincidences.

While thinking, I casually opened the notebook and sure enough, I opened the torn page again accurately.

At this moment, all the previous coincidences seemed to have an explanation.

Generally, if you press this kind of book deliberately, the paper will form wrinkles. In addition, this page is blank, so no matter how you turn it, you will most likely return to this page.

Although this page was torn off, the pen marks left behind were very clear. It is not ruled out that the person wrote with more force, but there were no such heavy handwritings on other pages. Tearing off this page instead gave people the feeling of trying to cover up one's own faults.

And the notebook containing such important information was just lying there waiting for me to take it?

When I realized this, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.
