Chapter 111 The whole story
The man in black was silent for a moment and then recounted what had happened before.
Back to more than a month ago, investigator "Wu" received a piece of information:
————————
[Abnormal Dynamics] Survivors in the six shelters within Tiannan City have been seen bowing to the moon at night, suggesting suspected abnormal unit activity.
"Mystic Shield" personnel have quarantined survivors who exhibited this behavior.
"Eyes That Hold On" personnel have been closely monitoring the six shelters.
————————
Such abnormal information will generally assign investigators of different levels according to the level of the disaster.
Since there were only abnormal phenomena and no actual harm, a mixed team of Level II and Level I was initially assigned to participate in the investigation.
At that time, Fan Buqiu, as a Level I investigator, was assigned this task and served as the commander of this mission.
Although "Wu" has always had a good relationship with Fan Buqiu, he was promoted to a secret-level investigator a long time ago. After the promotion, the two people who originally had a good relationship gradually reduced their interactions due to different tasks.
The missions that secret-level investigators undertake often point to evil gods, and are the most dangerous level. This is something that "Wu" only learned after being promoted to the secret level.
Just like other missions, everything was going on as usual until one day, Fan Buqiu came to him in a distraught state and asked about the source of pollution and the evil god.
As a Level I investigator, Fan Buqiu did not have sufficient authority, and "Wu" should not have answered his question, but seeing Fan Buqiu's expression, "Wu" felt pity for him.
So, holding a glimmer of hope, "Wu" revealed some things about the evil god to Fan Buqiu.
"We haven't investigated the specific circumstances or mechanisms, but everyone knows that the pollution doesn't come from the same source."
"Nothing" told Fan Buqiu.
"Our current investigations have revealed that these anomalous units and contamination phenomena originate from various god-level forces. They are called god-level because they are believed to not originally belong to Earth. Hidden within the universe are other higher-dimensional beings, collectively known as Outer Gods."
When "Wu" said these things, he was a little hesitant in his heart. This was a secret that could not be told. Considering that Fan Buqiu had always been a steady and tight-lipped person, "Wu" told him.
After listening to this, Fan Buqiu left with a thoughtful look on his face.
After that, Fan Buqiu has been devoted to the investigation and can be said to be quite dedicated. In the investigation mission into the survivors' moon worship behavior, Fan Buqiu not only completed the investigation successfully, but also evolved again.
The mission report at the time recorded the following:
The reason why the survivors worship the moon is due to an abnormal individual disguised as the moon. This abnormal unit is shaped like the moon and only appears at night. It is temporarily named "Red Moon".
The investigation records also included some blurred pictures of the red moon.
The article also specifically points out that this abnormal individual cannot be observed with the naked eye.
Since the "Red Moon" cannot be contained, it has been upgraded to a secret-level abnormal unit. With the assistance of Fan Buqiu, the "Mysterious Shield" has used special means to control the Red Moon.
The subsequent work was handed over to "Wu", but Fan Buqiu, as the investigation team leader who took over the matter at the beginning, participated in the finalization of the mission together with the secret-level personnel.
"The incident happened after that." The man in black said as he recalled.
"At the beginning, we only used special means to observe the 'Red Moon'. But on the fourth day of the mission, the 'Red Moon' suddenly became agitated, and the comrades in charge of observation all lost control." The man in black said this, and his face turned ugly.
Later, Fan Buqiu proposed to activate the containment unit "GUD-803X". The containment units marked with X are extremely dangerous but communicative abnormal units.
"GUD-803X" is a gray mist-like abnormal unit.
After negotiations, "803X" agreed to help block the red moon in exchange for the Bureau giving it a certain degree of freedom.
It was from that time that Tiannan City was shrouded in thick fog.
"Is this the reason why the fog in Tiannan City is different from the fog in other places?" I suddenly realized after hearing this.
No wonder I always felt that the fog here was different from that in other places.
But what I find strange is that this fog should have been created by "GUD-803X", but the fog spirit we saw here, and the abilities that Fan Buqiu displayed later, were all black fog.
Chen Yubing had obviously thought of this as well, so he asked thoughtfully:
"So where did '803X' go?"
The man in black, codenamed "Nothing", lowered his eyes:
"It was swallowed by Lao Fan."
"Devouring?" Chen Yubing and I were both shocked. The fact that humans devoured abnormal units would be quite shocking in the entire Investigation Bureau.
Although it is theoretically feasible, those who have tried it in the past have either died or been directly assimilated by abnormal units and become bait.
Not only did Fan Buqiu do so, but judging from the results, he did not fail.
Wu nodded: "That's all for later."
As he spoke, he looked up at the gray sky outside the window and continued to tell us what happened next.
Ever since the gray fog obscured the moon, Tiannan City had enjoyed a brief period of peace. Not only was no one affected by the "Red Moon" anymore, but even other mutant creatures rarely appeared.
During this journey, Fan Buqiu had evolved once in a previous mission and his strength had been improved. It happened that other branches of the Investigation Bureau were short of staff, so he was sent over.
Not long after Fan Buqiu left Tiannan City, the "Red Moon" became restless again. Even the gray mist of "803X" could not cover the highly penetrating "Red Moon".
At that time, "Wu" was investigating the matter and was extremely busy.
In reviewing Fan Buqiu's previous investigation records, Fan Buqiu left some speculations and clues about the cause of the "red moon".
The Investigation Bureau immediately followed the clues and finally found out that the "Red Moon" disguised as the moon might come from a higher-dimensional being.
No wonder even "803X" couldn't block it. No matter how powerful "803X" was, it was at best a secret-level containment object, and was nothing compared to the power of the Outer Gods.
Immediately afterwards, the Investigation Bureau conducted a series of experiments and studies, and finally discovered that there was actually a white moon behind the red moon, and the trajectory of the white moon was the same as the trajectory of the moon. The Investigation Bureau suspected that the white moon was the normal moon.
So they tried every possible way to suppress the red moon and allow the white moon to appear.
In the end, they did succeed, and the white moon appeared, but the red moon did not disappear.
Tiannan City saw the phenomenon of two moons on the same day for the first time.
