Chapter 112 Return to Nothingness
It was on that night that something happened in the Investigation Bureau. The director lost control and almost killed everyone in the bureau.
Although "Wu" is not the most powerful among the secret-level personnel, he is even inferior to some level I investigators.
But one of the abilities of "nothing" is to disappear temporarily.
Disappearance is not the same as becoming invisible, but rather temporarily jumping to another dimension and completely disappearing from this world.
However, this ability comes with huge risks. Many pollution sources come from other dimensions, and the jump is equivalent to facing pollution directly.
But "Wu" was lucky and did not encounter anything strange during the jump, so he escaped.
When he returned here again, he only saw Fan Buqiu who had hurried back.
After all, he was a secret-level personnel, so "Wu" naturally suspected that Fan Buqiu had done something, so he hid his tracks and relied on his strange ability to erase all traces of his existence and investigate secretly.
At the same time, he contacted the headquarters and reported the situation.
Headquarters dispatched a team, but this team has not yet connected with "Wu".
They all disappeared that night.
After doing all this, Fan Buqiu did not find "Wu's" body. He searched carefully for a while, but could not find it no matter what method he used.
Finally, Fan Buqiu calmed down, arranged a ceremony, and prayed to the two moons.
Under the protection of Shuangyue, Fan Buqiu successfully devoured "803X" and gained the ability of "803X". From then on, the gray fog turned into black fog.
Fan Buqiu converted a large number of investigators into fog spirits. Not only that, he felt that fog spirits were not enough, so he slaughtered all the survivors in Tiannan City, sacrificed their souls to Shuangyue, and turned their bodies into fog spirits.
During this process, Fan Buqiu gradually went crazy. He began to be dissatisfied with the survivors, so he hunted other mutant creatures in Tiannan City.
These mutant creatures do not belong to abnormal units, but are mutated because they are affected by abnormal units.
The fate of these abnormal units is the same as that of those investigators and those innocent people.
All turned into mist spirits.
And "Nothing" hiding in the dark witnessed the whole process.
…
After listening to this, Chen Yubing and I looked at each other and didn’t know what to say for a moment. The reason behind this is really sad.
"So, you told us to run."
"Wu" held his head in frustration.
"What's happening in Tiannan City is beyond our control. Any reduction in casualties is a plus."
Hearing him say that, I felt a little annoyed: "You're a secret investigator after all! Don't you know that even if you don't release any information, headquarters will still send people to investigate? That will only lead to more casualties!"
"Wu" was not angry when I questioned him. He just looked into my eyes and said:
"I'm out of options. If all the teams I sent leave and no further investigations are conducted, headquarters will eventually abandon this place. As long as everyone leaves Tiannan City alone, casualties will decrease. So I can only do everything I can to get you out as soon as possible."
Faced with the "nothing" expression, I was silent for a moment.
Indeed, if you put yourself in his shoes, he had no better choice at the time.
Knowing the truth but unable to stop it, "Wu" is probably more desperate than anyone else.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little depressing and no one spoke.
After a while, I suddenly thought of another question, so I looked up and asked:
"What is Zhou Tian?"
The crazy investigator and Fan Buqiu both mentioned it before. From their words, I could vaguely sense that it was something extraordinary.
Wu shook his head. "To be honest, I'm not too sure either. But ever since Fan Buqiu started offering sacrifices to the Twin Moons, he's occasionally gone crazy and muttered incoherently about the Zhou Tian."
"So I guess that 'Zhoutian' should be a point in time, or an existence in a higher dimension, and when the so-called Zhoutian comes, everyone will die." The man in black frowned.
"That's all?" I asked in disbelief.
Wu spread his hands and said, "That's all I really know. For so many years, even the secret files of the Investigation Bureau haven't recorded anything about the concept of 'Zhou Tian'."
The expression of "Wu" doesn't seem to be lying, and I have searched for "Zhou Tian" before but didn't find any information.
But my idea is almost right with the guess of “nothing”.
Just when I was about to ask something else, "Wu" suddenly looked stern, glanced in the direction where Jiang Wang and Lin Han were resting, and made a gesture to me to keep quiet.
In order to avoid disturbing their rest with our voices and to prevent them from hearing anything they shouldn't hear, we specially found a place far away from their resting place and near the door to speak in a low voice.
This way you can guard the door to prevent any monsters or other things from suddenly invading.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of Jiang Wang stretching was heard from the other side of the restaurant.
I looked back and saw Jiang Wang sitting up from the small sofa with sleepy eyes.
Chen Yubing glanced at the time and said to me, "It's already 9:02, and it's almost dawn. It's time to set off."
"Lin Hanning hasn't woken up yet." I said hesitantly.
She had consumed too much yesterday.
Chen Yubing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Time waits for no one, the mission is urgent, and the daytime is short. The faster we finish, the sooner we can go back."
What Chen Yubing said was not wrong, so we had to wake Lin Hanning up.
"Ah... I'm so sleepy..." Lin Hanning muttered as he sat up.
But he didn't complain. He just ran to the restaurant's kitchen to wash his face to refresh himself, and then quickly got ready.
During this period, Chen Yubing sent a message to the Xinyan City branch, and the captain quickly replied, saying that the road blocked by the landslide had been dug out.
Since the Shuangyue incident involves the evil god, it is no longer something that we, the Level I personnel, can handle. So the captain has already notified the headquarters, and soon secret-level personnel will take over the investigation and require us to withdraw from Tiannan City immediately.
"Wu" also stood up.
"What are you going to do next?" Chen Yubing looked back at him and asked.
"Once the supply line is opened, the company should set up a new branch here. Do you want to stay here or go with us to Xinyan City or the headquarters?"
As a secret-level investigator, "Wu" is always in high demand no matter where he is sent.
But he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't hold on any longer."
"What do you mean?" Chen Yubing asked with a frown.
"Ever since the arrival of the Twin Moons, I've been constantly being eroded. Every time I leap to another dimension, I occasionally encounter other contaminations. This body is already at the end of its strength."
After listening to him, we were silent. Although we had never worked together, he was also a member of the investigation bureau and we were doing the same thing.
But Nothing was very relaxed. He smiled nonchalantly, "My name is 'Nothing'. I was born in darkness, died in chaos, and returned to nothingness... This is my destiny."
This is the fate of "nothingness" and the fate of every investigator.
