Chapter 239: Neon Country: Evil God
Ryota is an office worker living in Misawa City. His hometown is in a remote countryside. Ryota, who just graduated from college, has not been in the society for long. It is the time to work hard. For work, he did not go back home for the Spring Festival, but chose to stay in the company. The company he works for is not very lenient to employees, but it is not a black-hearted company. The overtime pay during the annual holiday is doubled. In order to earn a little more money, Ryota decisively gave up the opportunity to reunite with his family this year.
The company where Ryota worked did not have a dormitory for employees, so he had to rent a house on his own. In order to save money, Ryota rented a house in a very remote place, a very dilapidated old street, with narrow roads and far away from the station. In general, the transportation was very inconvenient.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s a little far from the station, walking there can be considered as exercise, and if you leave home a little earlier, you won’t be late.
Ryota had no complaints about this, but now, it has become a fatal drawback.
Everyone was desperately trying to escape Misawa City. Those who had cars drove away, and those who didn't rushed to the station in time.
However, Ryota did not get the news immediately. He had been working overtime for three consecutive days. He finally had a day off and slept soundly at home.
It was not until I received a call from my family that I realized that things had changed in Misawa City.
When he hurried out of the room, he found the street was silent, with no human voices and no cars passing by, as if the world was dead silent.
Ryota had no means of transportation, not even a bicycle, so he could only walk to the station. However, the journey that usually took him nearly 20 minutes now became almost hopelessly long.
Besides, it has been so long since the S-rank bizarre news was released, I am afraid the station should be crowded.
Ryota wanted to take a taxi, a mode of transportation that he would never use normally because it was extremely expensive. But today, he couldn't even find one even with a ticket.
Standing alone on the empty street, with no one around, Ryota suddenly felt abandoned by the world. Occasionally, a few cars sped past on the road, and Ryota reached out his hand to ask for a ride, but no car stopped.
Even though Ryota held the money in his hand, no car stopped.
Every car was fully loaded. In addition to their own families, they also brought valuable items and gifts from home. Those who had dragged their luggage until now and were encountered by Ryota were those who had packed their belongings before setting off. They were so full of luggage that they almost filled the car to the brim. There was no room for one more person.
Liang Tai was almost in despair. He glanced at his phone. The only thing to be thankful for was that the S-level anomaly had not officially started causing trouble yet.
He looked around and began to think about the possibility of smashing someone else's car and borrowing one to leave.
However, without the car key, even if he smashed the car, he didn't know how to start a car without the car key.
As Ryota ran out of the city, thinking about how to find a suitable means of transportation, he saw a motorcycle shop.
An ordinary motorcycle is not too expensive, and even if one is stolen, you can afford to pay for it later.
More importantly, many of the motorcycles in these stores have keys inserted.
Ryota pushed open the door and walked in. He looked around the store, but didn't see anyone, so he took out a few bills and put them on the counter: "Count it as my purchase, I'll pay the difference when I come back."
"What else do you want to add?" A little head popped out from behind the counter, startling Ryota.
"You...are the kid of this store?" Ryota asked in astonishment, "Where are your family members?"
The boy looked up at Ryota and said, "My family isn't here. They've gone out."
Ryota: "Really? I want to buy a motorcycle. The money is here. This is all I have to take today. I'll make up for the difference when I come back." He turned around and was about to leave. After a pause, he turned back, leaned over to look the boy in the eye, and said seriously: "Let me make it clear that I'm not a liar. Something strange has happened in Misawa City. It's a scary thing. Your parents are not here. I'll take you away from here."
The boy had no expression on his face, except when he heard the other party mention weird, he tilted his head and said, "Weird?"
"Yes, let's go quickly." Ryota stretched out his hand to the boy, "I'm Ryota."
"My name is Kenichi," the boy said. He looked at the hand that Ryota stretched out, just looking at it.
Ryota thought he didn't have the other party's trust, and was thinking about continuing to persuade him when his cell phone rang.
He picked up his phone and found it was a text message from Misawa Municipal Government.
The content of the text message is very simple: Photo of an S-level weird possessed boy, call *** immediately if you see one, with picture attached.
Ryota opened the text message completely, and a clear photo came into view. The boy in the photo was less than ten years old, with a round face, dark eyes, double eyelids, slightly thick lips, and a black mole on his right cheek.
Exactly the same as the boy in front of him.
Gradually, cold sweat broke out on Liang Tai's back.
With trembling fingers, he opened the Baidiehui mini program, and also refreshed an announcement message with the same photo attached.
When you encounter setbacks in life, don't despair, because there are even more terrible sufferings waiting for you.
Jianyi asked, "Let's go together?"
Ryota quickly dialed the number and said, "Ah...my brother has something else to do, so he may not be able to take you with him."
"Why?" Jianyi asked, "Isn't it weird? Why don't you take me with you?"
After seeing the photo, Ryota suddenly noticed that the boy had no expression on his face and his tone was very flat when he spoke. He was like an emotionless robot, without any of the innocence and liveliness of a child.
"I..." Liang Tai stepped back slowly.
The call from the mobile phone was connected, but it was hung up quickly after only one second. Ryota didn't even have time to ask for help.
He stared at the phone in horror, with only one thought in his mind: This is worthy of being the helpline number of Misawa City, it is really not reliable at all.
"I'm leaving first!" Liang Tai rushed to a motorcycle quickly. The car key was hung on the handlebar with a plastic rope. He tried hard to untie the rope.
However, the boy behind it had already rushed over quickly, and it realized that its identity was exposed.
Seeing the boy's hand about to touch him, Ryota had no choice but to close his eyes.
The next second, countless butterflies appeared out of thin air and circled behind Ryota, separating him from the strange boy.
Jianyi withdrew his hand in fear, but his palm had already been eaten by the circling butterflies.
But the next second, the white flesh of the cut began to wriggle and grow, and a new palm appeared.
"This regeneration ability is really good." Shamon suddenly appeared behind the boy, bending down to look at it, "But the cross-section looks a bit disgusting, all white, and you can't see the bones and muscle texture. You can only disguise your appearance when you become a human."
The boy hurriedly dodged Shamon.
The butterfly dispersed, revealing its cocoon.
Ryota sat on the ground behind the insect cocoon, his back covered in cold sweat after escaping the disaster.
"Hurry up and leave." The white-eyed boy squinted at him, "You're a nuisance."
"Ah... yes, right away!!" Ryota hurriedly picked up the motorcycle, twisted the handlebars, started it with a buzz, and drove away.
At the same time, the live broadcast started again.
Because it was the first wild S-level monster to appear in the world, many people had been eyeing the city of Misawa, Japan. However, there was no reminder of the live broadcast room opening before, and no one even knew where the S-level monster was. Everyone could only stare at the map of Misawa, Japan and wait. It was not until the live broadcast room was opened that the audience swarmed in.
[S-level weirdness——Is the world really going to end? Even S-level weirdness has appeared. This is too scary.]
[Hasn't the S-class already existed? ]
【Light members are not included.】
[Ne country, this country is so unlucky, this country is the first to have a weird live broadcast room, right? 】
[You remembered it wrongly. The first weird live broadcast room appeared in China, but the weird live broadcast room incident in Japan has spread to the whole world. ]
[Who cares? It's all Eastern Mainland China's business.]
[Let me see what an S-rank monster looks like. ]
[I know it's a little boy. My relative is in Misawa City and received a text message with a photo of the boy.]
[You don’t even need to read the text message. Just go to the Baidiehui website and you’ll know.]
【Bai Die Hui website? What is that?】
[There is a private organization in the country called the Hundred Butterflies Society. It is a semi-religious and semi-gangster organization. The god they worship is Chongxu from the Lantern Organization.]
[I like cocoons too! I want to join the Hundred Butterflies Club, can I? ! ]
[I am a member of the Hundred Butterflies Club, although I am a logistics staff. Where are you from? Our membership requirements are very broad. As long as you are willing to sacrifice your life for the lives of butterflies, you can join.]
[Is this a generous condition? Or is it a harsh condition?]
[If you can't even do this, don't even think about joining. If you just like Butterfly's looks, you're not qualified to join. Go play somewhere else.]
[The treatment of the Hundred Butterflies Club is very good. All members can receive monthly salary. Of course, they have to do some work in return, but the work is very simple.]
[This has strayed off topic. I have no interest in the Hundred Butterflies Club.]
[Everyone, get out of the way. Don’t interfere with me watching Master Dieming——]
[Is this S-rank weirdness? He's just a kid.]
[It is a child possessed by an S-level monster. The real S-level monster may not be a child. 】
[I know this child. He is from the Sato family.]
【How pitiful.】
[Wait, I know them too. They used to live in a small town. Why did they move to Misawa City?]
【Who knows】
[It's Shamon-sama - I saw Shamon-sama - Is anyone a fan of Shamon-sama? Let's create a group too! 】
[Oh my god, is this world going to be taken over by Denghuo’s fans?]
[They are not fans, but believers. The latter are much crazier than the former. ]
[Speaking of which, the American Cult of Seki has replaced the previous Bureau of Oddity Investigation.]
[The results of the last battle should have been known long ago. This is not new news.]
[Hanguo Rabbit Fan Club is recruiting members, if you are willing...]
【Ah, this world.】
[I am different from you all. My only true love is the leader——]
【A group of crazy fans. 】
Shamon put his hands in his pockets and looked at the cocoon with a smile: "We found this guy in no time. In this case, you don't need my help. It looks pretty weak."
"If... this guy is the real body, and there are no other clones." Chongxu said with a frown.
