In the past half month since Bai Yu started working, apart from writing documents, he has been helping Chu Zehuai transport the bodies of those deformed by pollutants after the war.
On the surface, his daily work is hard, tiring, and boring, and he doesn't get any promotion.
In fact, Bai Yu enjoyed it secretly.
I have to say that Chu Zehuai is really good at killing. Various pollutants are killed almost every day, including those flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground... Basically all the ingredients needed in the recipe book at home are covered in it.
That person really didn't care where these contaminated bodies ended up. In the past half month, he didn't notice any clues at all. He even thought that Bai Yu did a perfect job and his attitude towards him became much better.
It was worth it that he wrote so many mission reports to the other party.
Bai Yu thought with satisfaction while watering the green ivy at home.
[System, can you help me check if there are any plant cells in my body that have been converted? ]
【Twenty-seven percent, much more than I thought.】
The system recalled how they were still worried about energy half a month ago, and it felt like a lifetime ago.
...
...
【That’s enough.】
So many plant cells are enough to restore some abilities.
Bai Yu reached out and dug some soil from the flowerpot, then stretched out his fingertips and controlled his white fingers to turn into green vines. With his other hand, he picked up a fruit knife and cut off a small piece of plant tissue without changing his expression.
The tiny piece of plant tissue fell into the soil, a green light flashed, and it began to grow again almost instantly, turning into a lush rose plant.
Because energy needed to be used sparingly, Bai Yu simply catalyzed it into an ordinary plant.
If necessary, it can also be catalyzed into a rose plant with various special abilities.
Bloodsucking, hypnosis, bondage...
Bai Yu recalled the players who had been tortured to the point of collapse by various external plants, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
But soon, he thought of energy again and let out a long sigh.
If he didn't have insufficient energy, why would he save it like this?
[Bai Yu! I feel a spiritual energy similar to mine approaching! ]
Beep, beep, beep—
The system's warning and the mobile phone's frantic notification sounded at the same time.
Bai Yu picked up the phone and took a look. There was only one sentence on it.
[Conference Room 1856, meeting in progress, come quickly.]
**
**
As soon as Bai Yu entered the meeting room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
Almost all the elite members of the Investigation Bureau were gathered together. Everyone sat quietly in the conference room, with the director and an unknown man standing in front.
The other person was wearing the uniform of an executive officer of the East Continent region. His long hair almost reached the ground. Each strand of hair was black and white, and looked like some kind of arthropod, with sections.
But the most attractive thing is that in addition to the normal eyes looking at everyone, there are another six eyes closed on his face.
Bai Yu withdrew his gaze and sat next to his colleagues.
After that, a few more people came one after another. After everyone arrived, the big screen on the wall started playing a video.
It was an extremely tragic scene.
The snow-white walls of the buildings were all charred black, the cars on the roadside were reduced to nothing but skeletons, and charred human bodies fell to the ground in twisted postures.
There were traces of burns everywhere.
The person who filmed this video paused here for a while, then continued walking forward in silence.
A mother and her child were burned to death while using their bodies to protect them, charred bodies piled up like a hill, an old man kneeling on the ground in a prayer posture...
In the video, the whole city was dead silent.
Outside the video, a solemn atmosphere also permeated the conference room.
After a while, someone broke the silence: "This place looks familiar... Is it a city in the South Continent region?"
Director Chu nodded, his tone heavy: "On the day of the prosperous festival, Ted City was attacked by the S-level pollutant 'Fen Ji', and no one in the city survived."
The Nanzhou region itself has abundant vegetation, high temperatures and a dry climate. In addition to the wildfires that occur every year, many people in the Nanzhou region throw cigarette butts everywhere and barbecue in the open air, resulting in a large number of fires every year.
The authorities will not care about these things. Over time, the animals and plants that were burned to death have been twisted into a super pollutant that controls the flames, which is the "burning silence".
There was total silence.
Several of them secretly cast their eyes on Chu Zehuai who was standing next to Bai Yu.
There are only five S-level people in the Dongzhou region, three executives. Two of them resigned from the executive positions for various reasons and are respectively stationed in the two largest cities in the Dongzhou region.
In the remaining twenty-three cities, the highest level of awakeners is only A-level.
Originally, the levels and numbers of pollutant deformers were similar. Over the past few decades, the two forces had been competing in secret and had reached a delicate balance that was not known to ordinary people.
But recently, pollution has suddenly intensified, the number and quality of pollutant distorters have increased exponentially, and the situation has begun to get out of control.
"As you can see, the city has been completely destroyed. This kind of thing can no longer be concealed, so after an urgent discussion, the Four Continents Alliance decided to announce this to the public."
The sound of fingers tapping on the table was heard, and everyone looked at the man with eight eyes.
"This is the first thing I want to inform you. The second thing is that 'Fen Ji' is now moving at high speed on the sea. Judging from its direction, it is very likely to be in the Dongzhou area or the Beizhou area... So I need Qinghe City to transfer some people to Linhai City."
After saying that, he stared at Chu Zehuai and added, "You must go."
"Okay." Chu Zehuai rubbed his temple, his tone a little weak.
Bai Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that these two people not only knew each other, but were also quite familiar with each other.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the eight eyes turned their heads back and continued to talk about the third thing:
"The S-level mental pollutants 'Happy Opera House' and 'Infinite Gallery' in Xizhou have been active recently, and the pollution levels have increased a lot. The Xizhou investigators have been keeping an eye on these two, but they didn't notice that the A-level mental pollutant 'Death Hotel' escaped... Don't stay in a hotel if you can."
In the quiet conference room, the only sound was the swishing of notes.
Apart from these three things, the rest are just some ancillary considerations.
How to appease the angry and frightened masses.
How to resettle the families of the deformed.
Provide scientific knowledge on pollutants and deformers to the public.
It was not until late at night that the long meeting finally ended.
The investigators walked out of the meeting room with solemn expressions, while Bai Yu walked with Lin Mo. He still had many doubts.
"What is the mental pollutant? It's that Opera House Gallery Hotel..."
Bai Yu could roughly understand that 'Fen Ji' was an arsonist who liked to set fires, but he didn't understand what the building pollutants mentioned later were.
Lin Mo patted his head and said, "That's right. You just started working and you encountered polluted organisms. It's normal that you don't know this. In fact, I haven't seen it either. After all, there have been no high-level mental pollutants in Dongzhou."
"I don't know if it's because the Xizhou region has too many abnormal histories. Anyway, that's why mental pollutants often appear there. I only know a rough idea."
"In fact, pollutants are just like awakened ones. They have the ability to materialize physically, so they naturally also have the abstract ability to act on the spiritual body. The emergence of spiritual abilities is usually caused by some intense stimulation or huge emotional impact."
"The mental pollutants are more difficult to deal with. They are very powerful, but not in the universal sense. They are more bizarre. Take the death hotel mentioned earlier, for example."
"A century ago, a pervert opened a hotel in Xizhou. He built many secret passages inside the hotel, which allowed him to reach the rooms of tourists quietly. He used these to kill many foreign tourists, and then chopped up the tourists' bodies and built them into the walls."
Lin Mo's tone suddenly became deep, just like he was telling a horror story.
"At the time, there was no surveillance in the Xizhou area, and the residents were a mixed crowd. No one noticed him, and he killed hundreds of people until the hotel, which was shrouded in resentment, became polluted. The remains of the body built into the wall merged into a monster, killing the pervert."
After that, he paused and continued.
"If the story ended here, it would be fine... Later, when the Xizhou investigators went there, the hotel actually disappeared from its original location. Decades later, this hotel quietly replaced a modern hotel full of people. People outside could not enter, and all the people inside were swallowed up, and then it disappeared again."
"In the past hundred years, the Death Hotel has appeared several times, and each time it swallowed up a lot of people. Its pollution value is not high, only reaching Class B, but because it lands randomly and forms an independent space inside, it is classified as Class A."
Bai Yu nodded as he listened to Lin Mo's popular science explanation, and the more he listened, the more he felt.
This sounds like a hotel escape copy, the Lord God should like it.
Lin Mo did not notice Bai Yu's subtle expression and continued:
"The reason why it was not rated S-level is because the Xizhou investigators discovered the conditions for it to descend. It must be a hotel, it must be full of people, and the monsters inside are quite weak... Hey, what's that sound?"
As he was speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at a door nearby. After he identified the sound inside, his expression became conflicted.
After the meeting, his brother, his mother, and the East Continent Regional Executive Officer were...arguing? They even occupied a separate room?
The two looked at each other, and almost at the same time tiptoed closer and put their ears to the door.
