In fact, sometimes the so-called valuing money over life does not just refer to a type of person, but a state.
Apart from the initial excitement about the crystal mine, after the accident, Old Ode has always been filled with fear and anxiety.
But at this moment, seeing that his wealth might suddenly disappear, coupled with the worry for several consecutive nights, the psychological gap suddenly reached its maximum, and he temporarily put his own safety behind him.
The madly running old Ode seemed to have returned to his youth, and the three policemen behind him could not catch up with him.
"Mr. Ode, stop it!"
The policeman behind him found it hard to believe that he could not outrun an old man who was almost 60 years old. He fell several times during the chase and his body was covered in mud.
Stumbling to the edge of the "lake", old Odd was distraught at the muddy water.
"It's over. It's all over..."
A black policeman rushed over and grabbed him to prevent the old man from jumping down by himself.
"Calm down, old Odd. The mine just collapsed, but the crystals inside are still there! Just wait until the water is drained before digging again."
"Yes, yes, yes! It's just a landslide, just a landslide!"
When he heard this, hope instantly ignited in old Ode's heart. He hugged the policeman and kept saying thank you.
"What's this?!"
The policeman who came from behind accidentally struck something with his flashlight, and was startled to see that it was a naked person.
“It’s a human!”
"There are a few floating in the pit, too!"
The figures floating quietly in the lake made people's scalps tingle.
The mine really swallows people!!!
"Are they the missing ones?"
The police officers resisted the urge to turn around and run and continued to do their duties.
But looking at these naked bodies and the shadows in the lake that could refract the light of the flashlight, an eerie atmosphere was irresistible.
Goose bumps kept rising from my feet to my head as a cool breeze blew.
"First, call headquarters for support!"
This situation cannot be explained by natural weather factors.
To be honest, the abnormal weather conditions of strong winds and heavy rainfall in a small area in the suburbs have long attracted the attention of the local meteorological department, but it is only in the observation stage.
However, at the junction of the rain curtain and the outside, there were quite a few citizens observing this wonder.
There were strong winds and heavy rain inside, but only sporadic raindrops and breezes outside. This weather phenomenon made people marvel at the magic of nature.
But things were not so happy for the Los Angeles police and Hercules Company people who arrived at the edge of the mine.
In the middle of the night, half of the police station in the area was alarmed.
Of course, the hospital ambulance and the executives of Hercules Corporation also arrived at the same time.
The collapsed location of the mine itself was not a water storage structure, and with the two pumps continuously pumping water, the water in the pit was drained out soon.
Those present included police, security guards and medical staff.
When seeing those corpses covered with traces of crystallization, everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
Yes, medical staff have confirmed that these seven people have no chance of being saved.
In fact, there is no need for medical staff to confirm it. Just looking at the appearance, it doesn't look like the person can survive with a hole in the head and a crystal growing on it.
There are still 6 people left "on the shore". Although they are covered in mud and most of them are breathing weakly, they should still be able to be saved.
The director of the Los Angeles Police Department also woke up from his sleep and rushed to the scene.
Looking at this scene in front of me, combined with the previous abnormal weather information from the meteorological department, an unreasonable inference gradually emerged in my mind.
It seems certain that the mine swallowed people, considering the sudden wind and rain that came and went, as well as the collapse of the mine.
"Chief, what should we do with this case?"
The inspector below asked the old man who usually had a bad temper tentatively.
But any discerning policeman knows that they cannot handle this kind of case.
This is a supernatural event!
The cordon had been set up again and the entire recycling yard was cordoned off. Although Old Ode shouted that the property was his, he didn't say anything more in the face of the police's toughness as he was already feeling guilty.
"Notify the Department of Homeland Security. We can't handle this."
Hearing this, all the police officers breathed a sigh of relief.
Those Hercules security guards looked so miserable. Who knows what will happen to the people who are investigating.
However, a considerable number of experienced detectives also felt another emotion in their hearts in addition to fear.
"After the mine swallowed up more than a dozen people, when we all thought it was a missing persons case or a revenge case, some mysterious force appeared, changed the weather, blocked the sight of ordinary people, and eliminated the original dangerous thing in a short time."
Yes, those who have such doubts are willing to believe that the dangerous monster has been eliminated.
Not only the situation at the scene, but also the reactions of the police officers who had been guarding this place, that gloomy feeling disappeared.
…
Since there were four naked men with her, Su Su took everyone directly to her grandmother's old house.
Without taking the time to reminisce about the past, a group of people hurriedly put the four men on the floor of the living room, and then removed the furniture covers to cover the key parts of the men.
"Their souls and bodies have been severely eroded, and medical treatment cannot cure them."
Qin Xiaoxia threw the small blue ore wrapped in purple power to Doudou, who hurriedly caught it with a frightened expression, as if the thing in his hand was very prickly.
After making sure that Qin Xiaoxia's magic had not affected him, Doudou looked at the mother crystal stone of the demonized crystal mine with relief and curiosity.
Meanwhile, everyone's attention was focused on Qin Xiaoxia and they held their breath.
A faint purple light condensed in Qin Xiaoxia's hand, like the ground under the scorching heat, making the surrounding space appear extremely distorted under the light.
Qin Xiaoxia used the magic power he condensed to form a surging tide, and then gently brushed over the four people on the ground, removing all the foreign matter from their souls, and completely repairing their souls with his own magic power.
As early as at the airport, he discovered that his magic power could produce a healing effect on souls, at least the souls of humans on Earth, provided that he released certain will signals.
At this time, since the souls of the four people were highly damaged, the degree of magic repair was also high, causing the souls of the four people to gradually undergo some changes.
This feeling doesn't feel like real awakening magic, but it is different from that of ordinary people.
No one has ever tried this, at least not Doudou knows.
Qin Xiaoxia couldn't be sure what changes would happen to them in the future, but they would undoubtedly become much stronger than ordinary people.
Well, anyway, these four people want it!
…
It lasted only about 1 minute.
Jack, Joseph, Baru and Ottos woke up from their coma one by one.
The light in front of them made them squint and unable to see clearly. They could only vaguely see that there were many people around them.
After a while of adjusting, I finally saw clearly where I was and remembered my experiences.
It was a horrifying memory, but now, it seemed like I was saved?
They themselves did not realize how calm they were when they woke up. Even Jack and Joseph were happy to see their friends but did not overreact.
"Hello, new knights!"
