Noisy streets and roads, hurried crowds, crowded buses and subways.
Lu Li's work schedule is no different from usual.
As a modern megacity, Kyoto's abundant employment resources and possibilities have attracted countless people to come to Beijing with their dreams, and Lu Li is one of them.
Although Rixin Media has the word "media" in its name, there are actually not many technicians within the company who are truly capable of doing advertising. However, the boss has some background and can get a lot of work.
Many of these orders will be passed on to other small units, and Rixin will extract a certain amount of profit from them, or temporarily hire technical personnel from familiar small units to do some of the work and give them a certain amount of remuneration.
To put it bluntly, Rixin is just a shell company that is doing well.
For such a company, the internal system is very standardized. Each department holds a morning meeting every week to report on the week's work and make plans. Departments hold meetings in the conference room every morning in rotation.
Today is Tuesday, and it is the turn of Lu Li's department. She is one of the protagonists today, and her performance will affect her chances of promotion.
She was the first one to arrive at the meeting room, prepare materials, copy PPT into the computer, and check the projection angle. She did everything very carefully.
"Good morning, Lily. Why are you so hardworking?"
A good female colleague praised her at the door of the conference room and waved the packaged cake in her hand.
"Have you had breakfast? I have something delicious!"
The girl in the conference room put down her manuscript, licked her tongue subconsciously, and then seemed to have thought of something.
His expression became very distressed.
The woman at the door saw her like this and asked with some concern.
"What's wrong? Are you not well prepared?"
"No, Sister Zhong, I might be pregnant..."
The woman at the door walked in carrying the cake, frowned, thought for a moment, and then smiled.
"That's a good thing. Xiaoyan is a pretty good person. If you tell him, maybe he will want to marry you."
"Him~"
There was a hint of tenderness on Lu Li's face.
"We will be together forever. Hey, Sister Zhong, this is not what bothers me. I went to work this morning and I got a scar on my stomach. I don't know if I bumped into something. I don't feel very well now."
"What?"
The woman surnamed Zhong immediately became nervous, as hitting the stomach during pregnancy is no small matter.
"Let me see."
"This is the meeting room, Sister Zhong, let's go to the bathroom, it's not convenient here."
The conference room was next to the toilet. Before 9 o'clock when work started, there were not many people in the company, so no one noticed the two girls going into the toilet.
In the toilet cubicle, the woman surnamed Zhong looked at Lu Li, whose face was a little pale, with concern.
"Come, let me see where you feel uncomfortable. How do you feel?"
"Um!"
Seeing the woman squatting, Lu Li slowly pulled up her shirt, revealing her abdomen. There was a hideous horizontal wound on Lu Li's abdomen, as well as on both sides of her waist.
The woman surnamed Zhong felt her scalp tingling when she saw this.
"Just, I'm a little hungry..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly began to swell. The woman surnamed Zhong was frightened and wanted to take a step back but found that her head was grabbed.
Luli is incredibly strong.
The "wound" on the abdomen split open in an instant, and the upper and lower ends of the muscles that were stuck together were even covered with fangs, revealing the terrifying bright red biting organs inside.
"Ah..." The scream stopped abruptly before it could even burst out. The entire head had been bitten off, and countless fangs pierced the woman's neck.
A large amount of blood gushed out but did not flow to other places, but was all sucked into Luli's abdominal organs.
Including her shoes and clothes, the woman weighing over 100 pounds was eaten up in less than 5 minutes, which was much faster than eating her boyfriend yesterday.
Even the blood was only a few drops on the toilet seat on one side.
Things like Luli eating her boyfriend's colleague are happening all over Kyoto, and the first people to suffer are usually their close friends.
The spirit mother that the soul-hosting spirit is parasitic on will try every means to cover up the disappearance of people in the early stages to avoid causing panic among the "food group". The "meat source" in this city is so abundant that there is no need to search for prey.
When humans become the host of the Spirit Mother, memory and intelligence make this monster more terrifying, but at the same time, habit, convenience and safety considerations prevent the Spirit Mother from deliberately changing its trajectory.
This is also one of the major bases for the formulation of the joint plan between the Special Security Group and Shuguang.
…
At the Kyoto City Expressway No. 3 toll station, cars are waiting to leave.
Small-scale congestion is a very common thing, but today, some drivers will find that there are many military vehicles and police cars nearby, and there are several soldiers standing guard at every toll gate.
And out of sight of the drivers, in a group of vehicles in the duty rest area not far away, there were more soldiers deployed, as well as the on-site special security team tactical commander and military officers, and two men in gray robes.
No one else could see the specific faces of the two men, they could only see their tall figures.
One of them closed his eyes and sensed it, then nodded to the officer who was obviously the translator, indicating that this was the most suitable position.
Far away in the combat command hall inside the special security team's headquarters building, the clear and calm voice of the on-site officer came from the loudspeaker on the control console.
"Reporting to headquarters, Barrier 15 is in place."
Inside the command room, everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this. All tactical forces, including the protection of the core government agencies and the blockade of key areas throughout the city, had been deployed.
From the core defense of the South China Sea to the entrances and exits of Kyoto and the airport high-speed rail station.
The nets are all in place.
However, including Tao Xingzhi, they all knew that it was not the right time yet. Even though they knew that some of their fellow tribesmen might become the souls of the monster at this moment, they had to suppress their emotions and endure.
The witch with the crystal ball of dawn was sitting quietly in the corner. Feeling Tao Xingzhi's gaze, she looked up and exchanged a glance with Tao Xingzhi calmly, then continued to look at the crystal ball floating in front of her.
Beside her, a fuzzy blue-purple halo formed a square cage. Through the lens, people could see the more than half-rotten body of the soul-hosting mother with their naked eyes.
It would strike the wall of light from time to time, but it had no effect except causing a scream of pain.
…
Careful people will find that some subways and other places have many more on-duty inspection forces, the number of traffic and drunk driving checkpoints has increased more than ten times, and the frequency of seeing police cars on the streets is much higher than before.
Some vans and commercial vehicles of various colors may be filled with elite soldiers or special security agents, and may even include members of the Dawn Association.
Some pregnant families will also receive follow-up calls from the hospital, and the special security team's indoor technical plaza center, which has thousands of operators on the other end of the phone, uses its own power to sense whether there is any unusual red banshee from the voice on the other end.
But these are nothing to ordinary people. Most of them won’t even notice them, and those who do notice them won’t care, because subjectively these have nothing to do with them.
Under the busy and bustling appearance of Kyoto, people continue to study, work and live day after day, unaware that a battle related to their own safety and social unrest is about to begin...
…
"Hello, listeners, welcome to the voice of traffic... Recently, our city has vigorously carried out traffic rectification and drunk driving investigation at night. We remind you not to drink and drive, and do not drive while tired late at night... At the same time, please note that this is the city of Kyoto that will limit nighttime traffic exhaust emissions. We remind all drivers not to drive at night..."
In the past two days, drivers have often heard such information on traffic radio.
…
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to Kyoto News. Recently, a large number of invasive vampire bats were found in Kyoto at night. We remind all citizens not to go out at night or go out alone... The relevant departments of our city will carry out management work at night..."
This is a note that has been mentioned repeatedly in the news over the past few days.
…
Before 12 o'clock in the evening of November 9, all tactical units began to get excited. In some vans outside the residential areas, the sounds of organizing equipment, setting silencers, and pulling bolts were heard one after another.
Inside the car with the Dawn fighters, everyone in the car could even hear the mysterious man's bones making crisp sounds, his muscles tensing like springs, and his steady breathing sounding like the whistling wind.
As elite combat units, they have already locked onto a considerable number of targets in the past few days.
In a little while, the monsters' active nighttime foraging period will begin.
In the tactical operations command hall of the special security team, the virtual pointer on the big screen moved to 12 o'clock.
Tao Xingzhi crouched down and gave instructions into the microphone.
"I am Tao Xingzhi, and I declare that the cellular immunity program has begun!"
