Chapter 230: Neon Country: Evil God
When Miyuki arrived at the agreed location as promised, the insect trap was already waiting under the tree.
The snow that fell some time ago has not completely melted yet, and some remains on the ground. The leaves on the tree branches have long since fallen off, leaving only bare branches, which gives a desolate feeling. Only the clear blue sky can show a bit of bright color.
However, in this season, a group of colorful butterflies were flying under the trees. They surrounded the boy with white pupils, bringing a sense of spring to the atmosphere around him.
"Good afternoon." Miyuki suppressed her excitement, put her hands on her chest and lowered her head. "It is an honor to be summoned by you, sir."
The boy tilted his head slightly to look at Miyuki: "I received an order."
Miyuki lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, showing a submissive attitude.
"Let me manage my own people. I don't know if you are my people." Chongju said, "But since you used my name to establish the Hundred Butterflies Society, don't embarrass me."
After saying that, he took out three secret books and handed them to Miyuki.
Miyuki raised her hands and took it respectfully.
"I'll give you what Kailett gave to his followers. You're exorcising weirdness, right? Keep doing it." The worm said, "Don't be worse than those humans in the West Continent."
Miyuki held the secret book in her arms: "Yes, please rest assured, we will never embarrass you."
Seeing how obedient she was, Chongjue took out another mirror and handed it to her.
"Strange thing, as long as you input weird power into this mirror, you can contact me." Chongjue said, "If you have important matters, come to me. Don't disturb me at other times."
"Yes! Okay!" Miyuki responded excitedly.
Before she officially joined the Hundred Butterflies Society, she had tactfully asked for Chongju's contact information, but Chongju said he didn't like using human communication tools. Now she finally took the initiative to contact Master Chongju's contact information.
In the entire Hundred Butterflies Society, she is the only one who has it!
"Yes, I know. I won't disturb you!" Miyuki calmed down her excitement. "May I ask if you have any other instructions?"
"Eliminate weird jobs and work harder," said the insect cocoon.
The boy turned around and a swarm of butterflies covered his body. When they dispersed and flew away, the boy was no longer visible.
"Yes!" Even though she was facing the empty snow, Miyuki slowly leaned over and whispered, "I will follow your orders."
At this point, the insect trap has been transported through the system to a deep forest.
The salvation system spoke in his mind: "Host, she is becoming more and more obsessed with you than when we first met."
"The influence of skills." Chongjue answered briefly.
His first skill can affect all beings with independent thinking, and the impact on humans is the greatest. Moreover, Miyuki only got over the psychological trauma of the year because of the cocoon, although the origin of this psychological trauma is also because of the entity...
But since it's for saving the world, a little sacrifice is nothing.
Besides, isn’t he still alive and well?
As a disguise, Chongjue, whose mindset has become increasingly despicable since he put on this weird identity, thought so.
"System, open the map and monitor the powerful weirdness of this land." said Chongxu.
"Okay. Please wait a moment, host." After a moment, the salvation system said, "Host, the most threatening monster at the moment is in Hokkaido. It is a pair of symbiotic monsters, both above Class B."
"B-level?" Chongju looked at the white butterfly falling from his fingertips, "I haven't received any strange news above A-level recently, nor any strange domains."
"Yes, host, Neon Country is more peaceful than you imagined."
"It's too peaceful..." Chongju whispered, "It actually feels a little weird."
Even a small country like Han had an A-level bizarre injury incident two days ago, which Li Tu rushed over to eliminate. However, Ni Country has been peaceful for almost a month, so peaceful that it seems a little strange.
"Are you sure you didn't miss anything?" Chongxu asked again.
The insect's repeated questioning made the salvation system uncertain, and it said vaguely: "This system... is not omnipotent. Occasionally there will be mistakes... Nothing can be guaranteed 100%, right?"
"...Forget it." Chongjue raised his fingers slightly, and the white butterfly flew into the sky. "Anyway, the human beings in Neon Country are extinct, and it's none of my business."
"That's for now, host." If things are really serious enough to cause the destruction of a small country, you can imagine how powerful the mystery of the destruction of the country will be, and the final threat will be to the entire world. If you only care about watching others laugh at you and taking pleasure in misfortunes, one day the disaster will fall on your doorstep, and you will truly regret it.
Therefore, the rescue system decided to test it again.
However, there will generally be no mistakes. The higher the level of the elves, the more likely they are to produce powerful elf fluctuations when using their power to harm others. Unless they are very good at hiding or have the help of humans, they will not escape the observation of the system.
After patrolling around and finding nothing, the salvation system felt relieved. Perhaps it was good luck that no high-level monsters appeared in the country during this period.
*
A small town in Aomori Prefecture.
Tanao Fukuoka is investigating a death in town.
To be honest, after learning what had happened recently, Fukuoka felt that there was nothing worth investigating.
Car accidents, accidental falls, food poisoning, electric shocks, although some of them are unfortunate, but each one seems to be reasonable and logical.
The accident in Santani was caused by not looking at the traffic lights on the road, the one who fell from the building was a child who climbed through the window to get a balloon stuck above the window, the food poisoning was caused by the food having expired long ago, and the electric shock was caused by aging of the wiring.
If you are careful when walking on the road, nothing will happen; if you abandon balloons, you will not climb out of windows and fall from buildings; if you eat, you will pay attention to the expiration date of food; and if you need to replace electrical wires, you should replace them in a timely manner.
All of these were avoidable, but they were caused by the carelessness of the people involved.
What does it have to do with weirdness?
Fukuoka Tanao is an awakened person. Although his ability is very weak, he can subtly sense a little trace of strange power. He went to the scene of the accident several times and did not observe any remnants of strange power.
So, it was all accidents.
As for those who died of illness, Fukuoka Tamao thought it might be due to some kind of disease.
Maybe he ate some bad fish from the sea or something like that.
Didn’t a similar incident happen in the past? The sea water was polluted, and the nearby fishing villages all got sick with strange diseases, first the cats, then the children, and finally the entire village.
The ending is quite tragic.
"Don't go fishing recently. The sea water also needs sampling and testing," said Tanao Fukuoka.
However, his suggestion was rejected by 90% of the residents in the town. They firmly believed that the problem would never occur in the sea and there would be no problem with the fish caught from the sea.
Although some people looked away and were unsure in their hearts, their tone was firm.
Fukuoka Tamao said nothing. He had long guessed what the residents were thinking. They were afraid that once the news got out, tourists would think that this place was polluted and would never come again.
The fishing harvest in the coastal area of the town is not very rich, so it is difficult to survive on this. It is just enough to maintain a basic standard of living, and it is far from comparable to the profits from the tourism industry.
"If it's really a problem with the fish, what are you going to do?" asked Tanao Fukuoka.
“I think vegetables are good enough,” someone answered. “It’s not like you can’t buy pork.”
Okay, Fukuoka Tianfu has nothing to say.
The mystery of the successive deaths in the town seemed to have been solved.
The mayor urged everyone to be careful when crossing the road, check the wiring and gas at home, and not to eat expired food. As expected, the number of accidental deaths decreased.
But the number of people falling sick and dying has not decreased.
As more people died, more people became afraid. Although they wanted to make money, it was obviously not a good thing to have money but no life. More and more people believed that there was indeed some disease in this town, or that there was something wrong with the fish they ate. People no longer went to the sea to catch fish, and the fried fish that was always an indispensable part of the table disappeared. Even the miso soup no longer had any fish in it.
Residents of the coastal town had a hard time adapting to the sudden change in their traditional eating habits.
But even so, people still left one after another.
There was no pattern in the number of people who got sick. Some people speculated that the disease was contagious, but none of the family members of the deceased were sick. However, a very healthy family member suddenly fell ill, and the person hardly went out and had contact with outsiders.
It took only three days from illness to death.
A doctor came to see me once, but he just shook his head and said he couldn't see anything.
"Is he poisoned?" someone speculated.
Maybe there was something poisonous somewhere and the people who got sick had come into contact with it.
But no poison was detected, and similarly, no radiation contamination was detected.
"Maybe it's weird," someone said. "How else can it be explained if it's weird enough to make people sick?"
There are thousands of weird things. I don’t know how many pages I need to flip through just for the weird list in the weird live broadcast software. No one can really remember such a huge database, except the system.
There are many strange things that can make people sick. Fukuoka Tianfu checked them on the spot, reading page by page, but couldn't find a single one that matched the criteria.
"Even if it's bizarre, to make someone sick or die, there has to be contact," said Fukuoka, "or indirect contact."
Either this group of people have come into contact with something strange, or something belonging to this group of people has been touched by something strange.
As soon as this thought flashed through Fukuoka Tianfu's mind, he suddenly realized something and asked the people around him, "Where is the garbage dump?"
"At the foot of the mountain on the west side of the back mountain." the man replied.
The garbage classification in Japan is very strict. There is a schedule for what kind of garbage is collected every week. But no matter what, all the garbage must be transported away and sent to the foot of the mountain behind the mountain, and then processed in batches. The recyclable ones are sent to recycling, and the incinerable ones are sent to incineration. They are processed as they should be.
Fukuoka immediately drove straight to the garbage dump. His intuition told him that he might find the answer there.
At the garbage dump, a white nematode was wriggling in the garbage.
Suddenly it stopped and looked at a car coming from the road in the distance. A man got out of the car and looked at the mountain of garbage.
There was no bug as thick as a chopstick staring at the man.
A man with witty powers...tastier...want...personal belongings...mark...prey...
The worm burrowed into the garbage, twisting and climbing inside, crawling towards the man.
Eat more...get stronger...
At present, my way of thinking is almost the same as that of a child, and my mind is filled with only these simple thoughts.
