"This is my...evidence."
Luo Shiqin's introduction was still a little late.
The moment she opened her mouth, the police officer and the armed police brother, with their amazing perception, drew their guns at the weirdo in wedding clothes beside them in the blink of an eye.
The police officer held down Yu Lu's gray hair with one hand, pressed the safety with one hand, and almost pulled the trigger at the strange man who looked particularly scary in his eyes.
There was no sound.
The police officer was stunned for half a second before he realized what Luo Shiqin had just said.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the woman sitting opposite him, only to see her look of great interest.
"...I was really shocked." The woman seemed to be praising him sincerely, "You reacted very quickly."
However, the gun did not fire at all after the trigger was pulled, and the police officer almost thought that the other party was mocking him at that moment.
"Who is it?" The police officer put away the gun in his hand and slowed down his tone. "Your friend?"
Luo Shiqin thought about the situation in Misty Town where the bride puppet was possessed by Ma Niang, so she naturally said, "She is my subordinate."
Since the Bride Puppet came to Luo Shiqin's side, it has been in a state of appearing and disappearing. Sometimes it can be seen next to the little thundercloud, and sometimes it is completely unclear where the other party is.
But it always comes to the rescue at some very subtle moments.
For example, he saved Fan Lele from a fire, rode a small thundercloud down from the sky to save the situation, or helped introduce new settings into the book of unusual life.
Luo Shiqin usually doesn't pay much attention to it because the bride puppet seems to prefer to act on its own.
After making sure that the puppet posed no danger of indiscriminately attacking people, she let the bride puppet ride around on the little thundercloud.
But this time was different. Although Luo Shiqin didn't know yesterday that the mutation would happen the next day, she still made preparations.
Luo Shiqin contacted the invisible bride puppet through the little thundercloud and told the puppet her plan in detail.
The tiny puppet, not even half the height of her arm, sat on her desk, lifted its own equally tiny red hoodie with gold edges, and listened attentively to Luo Shiqin's speech.
Her mission is to work with GT to verify all the seemingly abnormal data and information of the small mechanical ball after the mutation occurs.
This mission seems to be small in quantity and does not require Luo Shiqin's operation, but in fact it is about whether the "Underworld Setting" can be integrated into the new setting system of the Book of Mutated Life.
Just like in the previous era of intelligence, in the world setting of science fiction explosion, it is extremely difficult to introduce a new setting that seems to be unrelated. If Luo Shiqin's identity at that time was not "the influential Cerolo", it would not be so easy to bring out the setting ability of "the diplomat of the underworld" and "the master of the world".
In the past, to prove to strangers that she is a "diplomat from the underworld in the human world", Luo Shiqin mainly relies on her fully-equipped ability to draw talismans. If they still don't believe it, she will ask the bride puppet for help.
The classic image of conventional horror is instantly believable.
But this time it's a little different, if it's just Ma Niang alone it won't be enough.
Luo Shiqin's idea was to go to the "Underworld" that had never appeared before.
"The organization that the diplomats of the underworld stationed in the human world belong to" is the place of reincarnation of the soul mentioned in the official book she had just seen - "What is the place of reincarnation of the soul?"
Let’s recall the process of perfecting this setting: from being an intern at the beginning to becoming a diplomat, there are currently only two stages.
The status of a diplomat is very high, but a one-man show without the support of "actors" will easily be exposed and unable to continue.
So Luo Shiqin asked GT to contact the bride puppet that was previously in the mayor's office, and asked it to come quickly in its complete form.
The first to appear is of course Ma Niang.
"Didn't you ask for evidence?" Luo Shiqin looked at him with a smile, spreading her hands and looking frank, "Here is the evidence."
The ability that suddenly appeared is indeed beyond ordinary people...
The police officer turned his head to look at the weird man who made him feel creepy, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then said: "But it may also be a superpower, just like Yulu..."
"That guy is not."
Nazar, who had been silent until now, appeared again in a grandiose tone: "I have seen a curse on it that is comparable to that of the god Abanagh - Oh! My lord, you are probably also a follower of some evil god!"
Ma Niang, who has not spoken yet:?
The bride slowly raised her dark red fingertips and took off her red veil, revealing her true appearance.
It seems that there is no significant change from what I saw in the Paper Man Village before, but...
Luo Shiqin's eyes fell on her mouth, where there was no rope hook anymore, only a few scars.
"Thank you for your trouble,"
She opened her mouth and spoke slowly. Her voice, which had been hoarse as if scraping glass, gradually recovered. "My Lord, I am here to pass on a message."
At this point, Luo Shiqin's expression became more serious. She sat up straight and motioned for her to continue.
"As you can see, the world is extremely chaotic right now, and a lot of souls have slipped through the cracks." The woman who took off her veil reported as if no one was around. "The masters below are so busy that they can't spare much time and energy to sort out the huge increase in the number of souls."
Luo Shiqin pretended to know something: "So?"
"The adults said that they would ask the diplomats to sort out the cause and effect of what happened above. If necessary, they will mobilize a group of ghost hands to help."
"etc!"
A strange cry came from somewhere, and Nazar appeared again, speaking in disbelief: "My lord! Are you going to condescend to guide the future of mankind?! We are just humans--"
Ma Niang turned her head, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other made the carriage quiet instantly.
Nazar was like a snake being strangled by the seven inches, and in the blink of an eye, he became silent.
"The adults said that the creatures on earth have their own destiny, and the best way is not to interfere," the hoarse voice repeated this sentence very slowly, "but the premise is that no one comes to provoke."
Luo Shiqin also smiled and tilted her head: "'Independent and peaceful foreign policy'."
Nazar: ...
At that moment, it thought the host saw through something.
As for Luo Shiqin, she did see the reason.
Because "The Doomsday Escape Guide" has been updated again, the protagonist's perspective fifteen years later shows the reason for the doomsday.
[…I never thought that three days later, in a narrow, bottomless air-raid shelter, I would come into contact with the truth behind this doomsday.
"What are you thinking about?"
The lady leaned against the stone wall and asked me calmly.
There are only two of us in this space for now.
I fell down while trying to escape from the alien monster, but this lady...according to her, she stayed here voluntarily.
I don't know how long she has lived here, but judging from the way she keeps talking, I think it has been quite a while.
"...I wonder when this will end."
A strange, high-pitched laugh came from her throat, a sound that was not human.
"Haha... the end? There's no way it's the end,"
In the dim cave, I couldn't see her face clearly, I could only hear her voice getting closer and closer to me: "Do you want to know why?"
I swallowed and asked nervously, "Why?"
"Fifteen years ago, before the apocalypse began, some people conducted a lot of research for the purpose of... " the lady said, biting her tongue word by word, swallowing some of the vague words, "by chance, the evil god from another world set his sights on this world, and his accidental interest made his experiments a little... unusual."
"But no one realised that at the time because the experiment was no different that time."
She spoke slowly, but her accent had a unique flavor that gradually made me listen attentively.
"Some people are unwilling to accept that the experiment failed. Some people are unwilling to accept failure, and some people are unwilling to accept defeat. So they secretly shipped this batch of products from the failed research abroad and began to sell them."
"While the main goal was not achieved, this stuff has an unexpected side effect - it can easily make people excited, you know, kid? That feeling of ecstasy."
I know what she's talking about, but no one dares to use that thing after the apocalypse because it's exactly the same as the precursor to being infected and turning into an alien.
Under the threat of guns and artillery, human desires were temporarily forcibly suppressed.
"The evil gods use them to lurk in people's bodies and then induce mutations," the lady coughed and paused for a long time, so long that I thought she would stop talking, and then she spoke again, "The mutated monsters will not eat people, but after fully evolving, they have lost all human characteristics. Aliens will infect everything and then induce mutations."
"The evil god calls it 'evolution', and the evolved aliens are its followers."
The lady giggled and I could feel her breath on my cold cheeks.
"It seems that the evil gods from another world also want to have some fun."
"You said so, little Jack?"
There was a flash of silvery light, and by it I could finally see the lady's face.
Where the eyes should have been, there was a giant silver-white eye that took up most of her head.
The end of the world caused by evil gods?
I really didn't expect this...
Luo Shiqin originally thought that it was caused by that kind of technology - but it is indeed related to technology. However, the evil god also participated in the experimental research.
What kind of evil god research institute is this? !
In contrast, the "underworld setting" introduced by Luo Shiqin doesn't seem so abrupt, and even fits in a bit...
For a moment I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Moreover, the evil god... Now Luo Shiqin only knows about the evil god Abanagh, and he learned about it from Nazar.
Could it be the culprit behind this doomsday?
No, that's not quite right.
The mutation has just occurred. Even though "the evil god can use infected substances to lurk in the human body and produce mutations at a specific time", the Book of Mutation Life is different. As long as there is a special setting that enters the world where Luo Shiqin is, she will discover it at the first time.
And Abanagh, the evil god who came to Luo Shiqin on a rainy day four months ago, does not match this time.
"Nazar," she looked in the direction of Li Ye and spoke to the special Observation Eye, "You said before that you can connect with other Observation Eyes?"
Nazar: "...But I can, but why should I listen to you?"
Oh, this little guy has quite a temper.
Mei Huayue was also surprised after listening for a while: "Didn't you call Shiqin 'honorable sir' before?"
Nazar screamed, "Ahhhhhhh don't let me hear that name! Lord Abanahe!!!"
The emotions contained in this scream were so complex and varied that even Mei Huayue couldn't analyze it for a while.
Luo Shiqin smiled: "Maybe it's because I saw that the relationship between my idol and the host was reversed, and I couldn't accept it for a while."
Nazar let out a sharp blast.
"It's so noisy." Ma Niang, who was sitting next to Yu Lu, said, and turned her pale face to Luo Shiqin, "Sir, do you need me to sew it up?"
The sharp explosion came to an abrupt end.
"Strange," Mei Huayue looked at the helpless Luo Shiqin, and then secretly glanced at Ma Niang, who had a strong aura but was particularly humble to her pen pal, "Logically, your subordinate is this lady, and Nazar respects her very much. Why did he change his attitude towards you?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?!"
The Eye of Observation who was named growled softly: "At first I thought this guy was just taking advantage of Lord Abanahe's glory to bully others, but who knew that she and Lord Abanahe——"
It suddenly stopped talking, blurred and began to hum: "And this distinguished lady...it seems that this guy is the subordinate of this distinguished lady..."
Luo Shiqin stroked her chin and said, "So, you think I'm too kind?"
Mei Huayue quickly understood what she was thinking, and shook her head and said with regret: "Good people are often bullied, my friend."
Luo Shiqin suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Before anyone noticed, she stretched out her right hand and took out a brown talisman paper.
The police officer's eyes widened, and he subconsciously began to look for flaws, but found nothing.
Not magic?
Immediately afterwards, before the people in the row could see the writing on the talisman paper clearly, the seemingly soft paper spontaneously caught fire. The flames gradually devoured the brown-yellow paper, and the ashes produced after the burning did not fall due to gravity, but instead floated in the air and turned into a bright gray cloud in front of everyone.
then--
“Boom!!”
The small thundercloud that had just appeared sneezed, and a bright light exploded in the narrow carriage. The thunder was so loud that Li Ye's scalp went numb, and his mouth opened involuntarily and burst into a familiar Nazar-style scream.
The Great Observing Eye fell silent again, as if it had made up its mind not to show up.
The little thundercloud swayed left and right, and then found the top of Ma Niang's head and nestled down comfortably.
Ma Niang: ...
"What is this?"
The police officer looked at the clouds flashing with lightning in amazement, and felt that his three scientific views were about to be shattered.
He heard the woman say nonchalantly: "This is a small thundercloud. It can temporarily suppress the movement of the mutants. I also put one in the car behind you."
The police officer turned his head quickly. Yu Lu, who was sitting next to him, could even hear the crisp sound of the guard's neck: "When did you release it?!"
There was clearly nothing in the car before the door was closed!
Luo Shiqin casually grabbed a dozen talisman papers from the light-colored thundercloud above her head and paused for a moment after hearing this: "I almost forgot."
As she spoke, everyone saw her raise her hand and touch her head, and suddenly a white cloud appeared above her head where there was nothing originally.
It didn't appear suddenly, it just slowly changed from colorless back to its original color.
The little thundercloud nestled on Luo Shiqin's head. As the thundercloud that had accompanied her the longest, the little thundercloud spent most of its time nestling on Luo Shiqin's head, except for occasionally being in charge of GT and the bride puppet's itinerary.
The card storage cloud of Dujie, you deserve it (×)
"In order to avoid being asked about the same model, it is usually this color," Luo Shiqin took off the small thundercloud and placed it in front of her eyes. Then she began to hold the cloud frame upside down and pour things down. "I remember putting a lot of talisman paper in it before..."
Little Leiyun spit out materials to her.
Then a lot of brown and yellow talisman papers floated out in the narrow carriage.
The police officer hesitated for a moment, then bent down and picked up a talisman from the floor of the carriage.
The ink writing on it... well, it looks weird.
At least no matter what kind of writing method is used, it is impossible to achieve such an effect - the ink-colored liquid flows like running water, shimmering with a strange luster. It is more like a work of art than a talisman paper.
"Thunder Clouds of Tribulation" are just these four simple words on it.
He can even read the words on the talisman. Is this really useful?
The police officer raised his head and looked at the two clouds present, recalling the thunder he had heard before and the effect it brought.
Police Officer: ...my three views are shattered again and again.
What fell out was not only the "thunder cloud for transcending tribulation", but also talismans with other words written on them.
Mei Huayue asked if she could see it, and after receiving an indifferent affirmative, she picked up the talisman paper with great interest.
Now many people in the carriage were paying attention to the talisman paper floating out of the little thundercloud's body. Only Yu Lu was staring at the camera that had somehow fallen at his feet, and picked it up hesitantly.
Luo Shiqin was still carrying the little thundercloud and pouring things out when she saw a camera suddenly appear in her field of vision.
Luo Shiqin:?
This thing...wasn't it included in the graduation gift that Wenwen gave her?
Unlike the bride puppet and work badge, this camera didn't seem to have any special functions, so Luo Shiqin only took a photo with it once and never used it again.
Logically speaking, she had told Little Leiyun that the thing she would make it spit out later would not include this thing, right?
Yes, that's right. This scene of carrying little Leiyun and pouring out talisman papers was arranged by her and little Leiyun. The purpose was to confirm Luo Shiqin's identity.
Little Leiyun has been with Luo Shiqin for the longest time. As long as he is not polluted, his IQ is very high and he can completely understand any look from Luo Shiqin.
She straightened up the little Leiyun who was still pretending to vomit and said, "Stop vomiting for now." Then, she looked up at the white-haired boy who picked up the small camera and handed it to her.
Yu Lu couldn't speak, so he could only tell her through actions.
The police officer was still studying the talismans with different words on them and didn't notice his actions, so Yu Lu had to move on his own.
This small and exquisite camera looked different from the pile of talismans, so Yu Lu guessed that it might be a personal property that had accidentally fallen out. He picked it up honestly, and after a quick check to see if it was damaged, he wanted to return it to Luo Shiqin.
Luo Shiqin turned the little thundercloud around so that it could also look at what Yulu was holding, and then asked calmly with her eyes: "Did you drop it?"
The little thundercloud struck with a dull thunderbolt for no reason.
"...Thank you." Luo Shiqin took the camera and said, "It might have fallen out accidentally. Anyway, thank you."
There is no way it could have fallen out accidentally.
Little Thundercloud would not make that mistake.
Luo Shiqin put it back on her head and then fumbled for the camera that had appeared unexpectedly.
There was still only one photo in it, which was a graduation photo she took in front of the school gate more than two months ago after finishing the incident in Misty Town.
There are no other photos besides this.
I don't know which button I touched by mistake while the camera was groping, but suddenly the sound of a shutter being taken rang out in the quiet car.
Luo Shiqin stuffed the camera back into Little Leiyun's body as if nothing had happened, then smiled at the police officer sitting opposite him and said, "Can you believe it now?"
"..." The police officer smiled bitterly while holding the talisman, "At this point, there is no way I can not believe it, right?"
Mei Huayue nodded with deep understanding.
Luo Shiqin laughed softly, then turned her head to look at Li Ye.
"Nazar," she said suddenly, "can we talk now?"
The small thundercloud above the woman's head exploded with a thunderous bang at an appropriate time.
Little Thundercloud (Super Fierce): Boom!
