Bloody Rain 4
In the ghost story, all devices that rely on electronic signals will become extremely unstable and may even be invaded by monsters.
Therefore, the communication talisman is the only way for people in the ghost story to transmit information to the outside world. This kind of talisman paper is expensive and takes a long time to make. Unless it is extremely important information, no one will use it.
In fact, if one does not specialize in talisman paper, even a senior investigator may not be equipped with a communication talisman.
But this level of intelligence could naturally be reported to someone else after it was passed on. Therefore, Zhou Renjian used it without any hesitation.
Just thinking about the possibility that weather legends could be permanently eliminated made them excited.
This is unprecedented good news since the outbreak of ghost stories.
Soon, the communication talisman received a reply.
——The rainfall has exceeded the safety value by 70%, try to delay the time.
"7..." Zhang Ningyi almost shouted out loud, then quickly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"Do you want to tell me?" Zhou Renjian looked at the number, a little hesitant.
"Of course we have to tell them, otherwise they won't even have the chance to leave a last will. If ordinary people can't calm down, they can just be tied up. In this situation, it doesn't matter whether they can move freely or not." Zhang Ning sighed and shook his head, "But, what a pity for that new monster..."
A person who has completely solved two strange things independently when he was still an amateur has an extremely bright future. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the next reserve number one.
While the two investigators were talking, Ji Yunding pulled his hair hard, trying to get rid of the lingering feeling of irritation.
Even though I know, I still feel annoyed... Why? I've taken the medicine...
"Ji Yunding, are you okay?" Li Fengqing held Ji Yunding's wrist to stop her from treating her hair roughly. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. It's just a weird influence... maybe." Ji Yunding said halfway and suddenly became uncertain.
This irritability seems to be a little different from the previous one.
Li Fengqing didn’t understand weirdness and strange stories, but she knew Ji Yunding very well—Ji Yunding’s current condition was extremely abnormal.
"You seem scared."
If the emotion of "fear" in Ji Yunding was not so rare, Li Fengqing would definitely have reacted faster.
Fear?
Li Fengqing then spoke thoughtfully: "Come to think of it, after the bloody rain in high school, you seemed a little scared, and I even laughed at you."
It turns out that this special feeling of irritability should be called fear.
Ji Yunding thought so.
But what would Ji Yunding be afraid of?
As far as Li Fengqing knew, although Ji Yunding was greatly influenced by his original family, he actually didn't have any shadow. He ran away as soon as he said he would, and his plan was meticulous and flawless. Even turning back to give a look was unnecessary.
As for things from her childhood, she could talk about them as if it was nothing and just a casual chat - although she stopped talking about it after she realized it would make others feel embarrassed, it was clear that she was not afraid of it.
So, what is Ji Yunding afraid of?
At this moment, a voice with an extremely strange tone suddenly came from outside the window, like water flowing and simulating the vibration of vocal cords through collision.
“Upstream and downstream.”
A huge figure leaned close to the window, and grinned with its dark features.
"I found you, my child."
The bloody rain and accumulated water collided with each other, making gurgling human voices, with a suffocating feeling as if the sound was trying to drown people.
Upstream and downstream.
Ji Yunding remembered that she had heard these words a long, long time ago.
………………
In the storage room, Ji Yunding, who was only six years old, looked at the eyes growing on his hands and tilted his head.
What's this?
"Child, the door is open, come out." It was the same gurgling voice, like the sound of flowing water, "Come out and you will never feel pain again."
Ji Yunding shook his head and squatted back in the corner.
If I go out, they will beat me to death.
"I will take you away, and you won't have to stay here anymore. Going upstream, you can see the sun, count the stars, feel the wind above the clouds, and look down on everything in the world; going downstream, you can touch everything you want and bring it back."
Sun? Stars? Wind?
What is that?
What do you want... then what is it?
Ji Yunding remained silent and did not react - how can you expect a person to react to a concept that he is not familiar with?
No knowledge, no fear, no tears, no feeling, no desire, no thought.
The rainstorm paused for her for three seconds, and then the sound changed slightly.
"So, you still want to live?"
Ji Yunding finally reacted. She raised her head and looked outside the door.
Among all human desires, only the desire related to "wanting to live" does not require any reason; on the contrary, it is the desire "not wanting to live" that requires a reason.
Ji Yunding knew nothing and could not speak - no one had taught her, and her language level remained at the level of a three-year-old. She just remembered that every time the door of the storage room was opened, it seemed very bright outside, so bright that she could not open her eyes.
Once you grow tall enough, you can live in that world.
So, she wanted to live a little longer, until she felt that life was meaningless.
………………
What happened after that?
Ji Yunding felt a dull pain in her head, and she couldn't remember it no matter what she did. She was in the storage room without seeing the sun, so her perception of time was naturally very vague, and it was normal for her to forget a few days' memory from time to time.
What exactly does it do?
Before Ji Yunding could think about it, she saw the door of the store seemed to tremble, again and again. Only then did she notice the sound of the door being banged, which was covered by the roaring sound of water.
“Stand back!”
After saying that, Zhou Renjian slapped the talisman paper forward. The talisman paper automatically sealed on the door, and Zhang Ningyi stretched out his hand, gritted his teeth, and used his spiritual power to remotely reinforce the seal.
What is this?
"Why me..." "Why are you guys in there!"
"Why do you only have two eyes?" "Come out! Come out!"
One after another, resentful voices were heard outside the door, and the two investigators quickly realized that these were driven and corrupted people.
If it weren't for the strange entity, they could easily break down the door.
Ji Yunding felt a pain in his chest, as if it was being strangled and he couldn't breathe. At the same time, the sea of blood flowing outside the window, which was taller than the building itself, began to surge.
"Rainfall exceeding the safety value by 70% means that the area covered by the bloody rain has shrunk significantly, and the mortality rate will continue to rise. The highest recorded red warning bloody rain rainfall exceeded the safety value by 40%, and the mortality rate in the covered area was as high as 73% at that time."
Zhou Renjian explained quickly, his voice becoming more and more urgent and louder: "Ji Yunding, if you don't have long-range attack methods, you will be responsible for arranging the citizens to record the matters they need to explain... Ji Yunding?"
"No one will die." Ji Yunding suddenly said, looking straight ahead, "None of you will die."
Zhang Ningyi, who was trying hard to hold on, immediately replied: "Ji Yunding, Article 18 of the Investigator's Professional Ethics Code."
"Correctly and objectively understand your own abilities. Any exaggeration may lead to extremely serious consequences." Ji Yunding said without hesitation, "But senior, even if you believe me now, there will be no more serious consequences."
"Remember, our mission now is to delay time." Zhang Ning turned his head and looked at Ji Yunding seriously, "At all costs, including life."
This is the first time that humanity has a chance to eliminate a monster that has completely infiltrated the real world, the first time it has a chance to achieve complete victory, and any cost is worth it.
"The first rule of the investigator's professional ethics is that for the sake of more humanity, we cannot retreat." Zhang Ningyi turned his gaze back to the door. "This may be the most valuable moment in our lives for us to die."
Ye Buli and Nan Xun were a little frightened at first, but after hearing Zhang Ningyi's words, they inexplicably calmed down and silently took out their mobile phones to record their last words.
"I mean, I will solve this weird story before the support arrives." Ji Yunding took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Only in this way can I solve it."
Ji Yunding remembered that this bloody rain came for her. If it was not resolved, it would come back sooner or later.
It was not only because the bloody rain made her feel uneasy and frightened, but more importantly, there were people at the scene whom she had to protect.
Li Fengqing looked at Ji Yunding who was standing in front of her, and her heart, which had just been hanging in the air, immediately settled down.
"You... aren't going to write it down?" Seeing that Li Fengqing didn't make any move to record his last words, Ye Buli couldn't help but remind him.
"You don't know Ji Yunding." Li Fengqing turned his head and smiled, "This guy always keeps his word and always does what he says."
Before Li Fengqing finished speaking, there was a bang - the door was slammed open.
The people who came in - perhaps they could no longer be called human beings - had eyes all over their bodies, and each pair of eyes blinked at a different frequency, turning and looking around.
Li Fengqing took a look and felt goose bumps all over his body: "Are all weird things so disgusting?"
Ji Yunding stared at one of them and saw that her phone lit up after it fell to the ground - on the cracked glass screen, the lock screen interface seemed to be her daughter, and the little girl was smiling happily.
There are two kinds of people in this world. One kind hopes that everyone can experience their pain, and the other kind hopes that no one has to experience their pain.
"Senior, is there no hope?"
"Unless the monster's main body disappears, there is no hope."
The shackles of rules loosened a little. The bloody rain like the sea was still blocked by the air and did not all pour in, but it was able to slowly seep in through the wide-open door.
For some reason, the temperature inside the room was getting higher and higher.
No matter how hard the investigators tried to break up the liquid, the blood rain gradually turned into vaguely human-like figures.
"Senior Zhang Ningyi, Senior Zhou Renjian, I ask you to help me hold back those citizens who have been corrupted. Try not to hurt them while ensuring your own safety."
After saying that, Ji Yunding stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in the oath.
What power will today's desires produce?
"I've decided that I want a complete victory today."
