The person in charge hissed, “Is this pollution?!”
I was slow to react and turned off my watch subconsciously, saying, "This is a trial product. It's not as accurate as others."
He met those beautiful eyes.
Shi Deng said, "Don't you want it anymore?"

The comics did not skimp on the use of colors.
The blood-soaked bandage wrapped loosely on the boy's forearm and the deep scar on his palm were lightly softened by the author to make it seem not that serious, considering that many readers were underage.
However, many details were carefully drawn, and the deep blue eyes had lost their highlights, showing a bit of slowness and dullness.
The gray hair fell on the side of the bed, encircling the medicine bottle and scattered pills beside it——
There are only a few pieces left.
In just two days, the boy didn't know how much he had overeaten.
When he raised his head, a mechanical smile even appeared on his face subconsciously, and his eyes, which were pierced by the light and had a thin layer of watery light, were slightly narrowed, indicating that he had not seen the light for a long time.
Before the 'Abyss' was released, the polluted air that was invisible to the people in the comics was flowing from the people who drank the 'holy water' outside to the ground, and then gathered into the boy's body.
Bald Pencil even drew a picture of a dirty hour lamp.
The lively and beating heart was firmly locked in the middle by the chain of time, and countless lingering and raging black air filled it, but it could never break the prison of the time lamp.
There is a storyboard behind it.
Outside the tent was a crowd of people who had received the "holy water" and were greedily drinking it all. Inside the tent was a pale young man who was tainted by the polluted air.

[Woo, woo ...
[md These two episodes made me so angry! ]
[Lao Chi knows that Shi Zai is the leader of Yuan Guang. Help me, the next plot will not be what I thought, right? Will Lao Chi interrogate me?]
[And how do you explain Shizai’s blood?]
[I’m sorry, wuwuwu, although Shizai is very miserable, I really like the way he looks now, with a dull expression, a bandage that was not tied properly and drooping a little, and blood dripping from his fingertips…]
[Sister Le saved people, Haratei and Shikezawa were not there at the critical moment, so the pills to suppress the disease must have been excessive, right?]
[QAQ, my dear, mom knows this is wrong, but after you were drawn, I felt really sad. Please allow me to move my XP a bit. I’m sorry, wuwuwu (face the wall and reflect on my mistakes)]
[Wuwuwu Shi Ge, where is Shi Ge? I didn’t see him in these two episodes.]

That night.
The injury on Shi Deng's arm was treated by the doctor who was found by Lao Chi.
It hasn't healed, because Shi Deng said that even if it heals, it will have to be cut again, which is troublesome.
The blood-stained bandage that was replaced was not wasted. It was soaked together with the blood that had previously dripped into the glass jar and turned into new "holy water".
Shi Deng's blood had been taken out for testing on the first day when he said it had a therapeutic effect, but the test results were normal.
In other words, this therapeutic effect cannot be replicated.
Chi Yucai didn't believe that blood could be used to treat this. "What's going on, Shi Deng? Don't lie to me."
There was no one else in the tent except the two of them, and under the light of the lamp, he wanted to change the subject.
Chi Yu: "It's okay if you don't answer. What's the matter with the pollution on your body?"
Shi Deng touched his arm.
Those who were successfully cured by the holy water were moved to the observation area. The remaining ones here, as well as the polluted people who were constantly transported out of the city, were all drinking the holy water outside.
His heart seemed to have gotten used to that kind of disgust and pain, but the pent-up melancholy emotions could never be released.
With his current strength, it was no problem to suppress the source of the black mist, but the difficult part was these unbearable emotions. Every extra strand of them increased his chances of getting sick.
In the past two days, he had suffered from the urge to get sick more than a dozen times, but he suppressed it with an excessive amount of pills.
He doesn't want to sleep.
Because as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of the day when Sister Le fainted, the ugly face of the polluted person, and those cold and vicious words.
Even though he knew that those people's evil intentions were magnified, he still couldn't suppress the desire to kill people in his heart.
Occasionally, the dark thoughts of "Shi Deng, you tried your best to save this kind of person, is it worth it?" would follow his chained heart, climb to his neck, and whisper in his ear:
Give up and kill them.
Let everything return to normal. This world is much uglier than you think. You don't have to pay such a high price...
The voice said: Shi Deng, don’t you hate it?
Don't you hate it? Why do you have to bear all of this? Why do you have to experience so many losses and despair, while those people enjoy the fruits of your hard work and suck your blood.
You should make the right choice. After all, you didn't die in the end, right?
…
"Time lamp, time lamp?" Chi Yu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the boy's eyes.
"Yes, Instructor Chi." Shi Deng looked up suddenly, "Sorry, I was distracted. What did you say just now?"
Chi Yu frowned and looked him up and down: "I want to ask about the pollution on your body."
Shi Deng: "I don't have any——"
"This is a newly developed watch that can detect pollution." He opened it again and the moment he got close to the hour light, the watch emitted an extremely dangerous red light. "It has exceeded the highest detection threshold of the watch."
He originally suspected that the detector was broken, but after going out for a test, he found that this was not the case, which meant that there was indeed contamination on the hour light.
But pollution cannot infect a person with special abilities, which is an unsolvable proposition.
The lights went silent.
Before he could think of an excuse, a sharp look flashed in her eyes: "Has your body become a container for pollution?"
The boy curled his fingers slightly.
I've known for a long time that Chi Yu's intuition is terrifyingly accurate, sometimes even more terrifying than Shize's prophecy. I experienced it again in person, and it was in such a scene.
Two or three seconds later, he heard himself speak almost calmly: "Of course not, I'm not that..."
Chi Yu's attention was all focused on him, and he took in all the very subtle reactions of the time light.
Before he could refute, I interrupted him and asked, "Is that blood the medium through which you absorbed the pollution?"
“…”
Shi Deng's mind went blank for a moment: "I..."
At this moment, the curtain outside the tent was lifted, and Zhize and Yuanting, who had just returned from hunting exotic beasts and had not yet dissipated the murderous intent in their bodies, came in and heard these words.
Yuan Ting shook his head: "What blood? What medium? Absorbing pollution?"
His nose twitched and he frowned: "There's a strong smell of blood in here."
Zhize's eyes fell on Shideng's overly pale face, and looked at Chiyu: "Instructor, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"Is the Tokioka injured?"
“…”
Shi Deng covered his face as if to escape, and his sleeves slipped down, revealing a newly tied bandage.
This kind of situation where everything about oneself was uncovered in just a few words only happened once, during the ninth flashback, after one fell into Zhize's great prophecy.
Now he vaguely recalled the feeling of being almost stripped naked.
Ten minutes later.
23:55:13
Yuan Ting, Zhi Ze, Cen Le and Lao Chi were sitting upright, while Shi Deng, who was sitting opposite them, was sitting on a small chair with a backrest.
Cen Le had already explained the whole story, ignoring Shi Deng'an's prying eyes the whole time, and emphasized how much blood he had lost in the past two days to barely have enough supply of 'holy water'.
Compared to those unconfirmed data, he trusted his intuition more. He instinctively believed that Shi Deng was not an unforgivable bad person.
Moreover, five years before the Sharp Knife Group was established, Yuan Guang had a new leader. If the new leader was Shi Deng, considering his age, Shi Deng was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, which is impossible no matter how you look at it.
Chi Yu raised his eyelids and said: "I just guessed, you haven't said anything yet, what's the matter with the pollution."
“…”
The time light is rarely restless.
There were people outside drinking the "holy water", and he was startled again. He realized that his current mood was very unstable. Shi Deng suppressed it with difficulty, planning to fool around and then take medicine.
While he was hesitating, the situation outside suddenly changed.

23:57:19
A hooded young man appeared in City F, on the basement floor of a hot spring bar.
Ye Fei looked at the things on his computer tremblingly: "Is this true? It's not a rumor. Will I post all of it later?"
Hammer!
The child who came to F City holding a cat was actually the leader of Yuan Guang? !
Didn't this guy become an outside member of the Sharp Knife Team? It turns out that he was an insider, giao! Does the leader of Yuanguang like playing Infernal Affairs so much this time? !
The reputations of all previous leaders of Yuanguang were extremely bad, and no one was willing to associate with them unless necessary.
Especially now that pollution is rampant, many people have already suspected that this pollution was caused by Yuan Guang. He is not shrinking in his own territory at this time, but instead ran to Fengcheng, where the pollution is the most serious...
There can't really be any conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei said: "Thank you, brother. When you hung me on the roof, I thought you were a bad guy. Now it seems that you are a super good guy!"
"Don't worry, I have a wide network of contacts. After twelve o'clock, this information will definitely be pushed to the homepage. This Yuanguang leader is really too insidious. What do you think he is doing in Fengcheng? Is he..."
The following words are nothing but malicious speculation.
Shi Ge didn't hear anything. He stood behind Ye Fei and stared at the screen, looking at the time in the lower right corner, waiting for twelve o'clock to arrive.

The iron hammer information about #Sharp Knife Group Foreign Aid Member Shi Deng is the Abyss Leader# that appeared on the homepage a minute ago has increased exponentially in clicks and readings.
There are videos, photos, and voice records, the earliest of which can even be traced back to three years ago.
The person in the data still looks like a teenager. A careful comparison shows that his appearance has not changed at all.
It is even revealed above that Shideng is now in Fengcheng.
Tiangu's chief leader's phone was bombarded with calls.
After confirming the authenticity of the data, senior management held an emergency meeting.
"I don't know who leaked the information. At this juncture, it was revealed that Leader Yuanguang was in Fengcheng. I really don't know which side he is on..."
"Humph, maybe it was all arranged by the light at that time. How can it be such a coincidence?! I know that everyone in Yuanguang is good!"
"Don't say that. Fengcheng is much more stable now than before."
A characteristic of Tiangu’s top management is that whenever they have a meeting, there will always be a lot of noise.
The leader had a headache: "Okay, it's time, stop arguing."
Shi Deng, this name sounds very familiar. He is a foreign aid member of the spearhead team and a bright future ahead of time. No matter how busy the leader is, he will take time to pay attention to him.
Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid that even the Sharp Knife Group and Lao Chi, who have been with him the longest, will not be able to completely get rid of it.
"There must be someone behind this. No matter which side the person behind the scenes stands on, now that public opinion has fermented, we must take measures to suppress the news on the Internet first, contact the government, and try to reduce the spread. Otherwise, the current situation in Fengcheng may be □□..."
In any case, they must have their own preventive measures.
At the command, Tiangu started to move rapidly.
All the superpowers who could be mobilized received the news and quickly rushed to the contaminated area in Fengcheng.
Tiangu also contacted the person in charge of the pollution area outside Fengcheng and asked him to temporarily control Shi Deng. Now that the news has spread, there is no reason why some people don't know about it. They are worried about how Shi Deng will react after knowing it.
Soon, people inside and outside Fengcheng became restless.
The news that "Leader Yuanguang is in Fengcheng" spread rapidly like a plague. People who had fallen asleep were woken up by those who were still awake. They wanted to curse, but when they heard the news vaguely, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
…
Inside the tent, I received a phone call before the lights came on.
In just two seconds, his expression turned extremely ugly, "...Okay, I understand."
Shi Deng prepared some semi-confessions but never said them. He seemed to have noticed something and looked at Lao Chi quietly.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Not long after they hung up, Cen Le and the other two's cell phones rang. Apparently, they had been told the same thing.
Yuan Ting laughed and cursed back: "This joke is not funny. Let's not contact each other anymore. Who doesn't know that Shi Deng is my brother? Who are you kidding in the middle of the night?!"
Zhi Ze and Cen Le's first reaction was also disbelief. They frowned and clicked on the information sent to them -
It is the information about the time lamp that Tiangu has packaged and sorted, and it also has credible evidence.
The boy sitting opposite them asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Ting laughed and said, "It's nothing. Someone said you were the leader of Yuan Guang, so they asked us to control you and stay away from you to avoid misunderstandings. How is that possible..."
He smiled for a while, and found that no one else was smiling, and the atmosphere was not right. Yuan Ting paused, "What's wrong? You don't believe it, do you?"
Zhizawa shook his head: "No, the information must be false."
Cen Le: "I don't believe it either."
There were rustling sounds coming from outside the tent. Shi Deng could tell that there were nearly a hundred psychics surrounding the tent, including many high-level ones and a few special-level ones. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a dragnet.
The person in charge's slightly nervous voice came in: "Shi Deng? Can you come out and talk for a moment?"
He was very panicked. When he received the notice from his superiors, he was in a state of half-daze, and then he remembered the incident of Shi Deng's blood being mixed with water...
This is a serious matter. Who knows if there are other things in the blood that cannot be detected.
How could the leader of Yuanguang be so kind as to help? He even gave it to so many people to drink, there might be a big chaos.
However, he has seen the matter reported, and currently doesn't know how to deal with it. He hopes his superiors can give him a lighter sentence.
Inside the tent.
This time, Shi Deng did not look at Yuan Ting and the other two.
He pursed his lips, stood up slowly in silence, and then slowly took a few steps back.
The shadows cast by the lights on the ground gradually separated.
Clearly distinguished.
