Chapter 100

This is the first time that Yu Tu has lost contact with his original body.

He was indeed a little panicked, but what Yu Tu was most worried about was whether he would starve to death in his sleep. In order to save time, he borrowed a lot of books from the library and bought some rice, flour, rapeseed, and instant food. He planned to go out less and read more books throughout September.

There was also a sign outside his door that said "Studying, do not disturb unless necessary."

If his consciousness could not contact his original body... Yu Tu thought, he would probably become the first student in Millerkel's history to die of starvation in the dormitory despite having food to eat.

Yu Tu held the shell of Buyehou and sighed sadly.

A large mass of dense energy once again focused on his eyes, and two completely different worlds appeared before his eyes.

In my right eye, I see wild grass growing wildly between bricks, trees that are several times bigger than usual, green belts that can block people, groups of weak people walking on the roadside, and ambulances that rush by after a long time...

In my left eye, no matter if it was weeds or trees, or people or animals, a white line extended from each person. The lines were thick or thin, dark or light, and each line was wrapped in a layer of strange blood color. Countless lines were entwined and intertwined in the sky like a spider web, blocking the blue sky and the pouring sunlight. All the dense lines converged to the same center——

It seems like a happy place on Mount Tai that has been abandoned for more than ten years, and the abandoned community where Wei Ziming escaped death.

Yu Tu recalled some of the things Meng Ziqiu revealed in his dream last night.

Disaster beast...

Yu Tu looked down at his hands, doubting whether he could get his crispy vest back intact.

But this matter must be resolved quickly, he doesn't want his original body to starve to death!

Yu Tu thought seriously for a while with a stern face, and then decided—

Find! Foreign! Aid!

"Have you contacted headquarters?"

In the Chongming City Special Investigation Bureau branch, the only two people who stayed behind to sort out the information and question the witnesses had sad faces.

One of them is responsible for sorting out all the abnormal points related to the inner world in Chongming City over the years, as well as the long and tedious mission reports after each mission, and the other is responsible for external social interaction, prop maintenance, and signing of eyewitness confidentiality agreements. Based on their expertise, they are both assistants in the 14th team of the special group.

It is not a problem to leave one or two assistants to guard the branch when going on a mission. Even if it is just to assist the team, one person can easily defeat ten ordinary people.

But this situation is only limited to "normal times". As for the "special" situation like the current one that is visible to the naked eye and affects the entire city, let alone the two assistants, even if all the members of the 14th team were pulled out, it would not be enough!

The person who was asked "Have you contacted the headquarters?" shook his head. He stared at the blood in the center of the bronze array that showed no signs of absorption. "When I first realized something was wrong and contacted the headquarters, the message should have been halfway through. Now no message can be sent out."

He sighed: "I can only hope that headquarters will react quickly enough."

"I just contacted Senior Buyehou." Another person also had a heavy face, "but the effect of the one-way note was also very poor. I even doubted whether Senior received it."

They looked at each other, both with bitter smiles in their eyes. They had encountered dangers when they were on missions before, but this was the first time in their lives.

Or maybe... it will be the last time in this life.

They knew without any calculations that the source of the mutation must be in the abandoned community, but eight teammates had been killed in a row, and not even one had escaped. Apart from giving away kills and increasing the enemy's combat power, the two of them were useless.

They have done everything they can and tried their best. Just watching this helpless terror that cannot be stopped by individual strength is enough to make people despair.

Liu Jia, who had been trying to contact the headquarters using the array, finally stopped after the seventh attempt failed. He asked:

"How is Wei Ziming?"

Song Tu tried to make slight modifications to the armor that other teammates didn't take away, and connected them to form a combined armor without even raising his head: "The person is lying next to me, he has no energy at all, he looks listless."

When ordinary people in Chongming City feel dizzy and almost faint, or faint directly, their first reaction is to think whether they have eaten something they shouldn’t or are feeling unwell. However, as soon as the dizziness appeared, the garrison team realized the core of the problem—

The feeling of dizziness is not caused by external factors, but is an uncomfortable reaction caused by the extraction of one's own vitality.

People who exercise regularly, have a regular work and rest schedule and are in good health may just feel dizzy and have difficulty walking. Those who exercise less, eat too much, and have a mixed day and night are often the first to fall down.

At this horrific extraction rate, people will start dying in three days, and large numbers of deaths will occur in about a week. In a month at most, all the vitality of Chongming City will be drained away.

This does not only apply to humans, but also to animals and plants. If the problem cannot be solved, Chongming City will become a dead city from the inside out in a month.

Both of them sighed and continued with their respective tasks in silence. Liu Jia was racing against time to take notes so that if they died in the line of duty in the future, outsiders would at least be able to understand the entire process of what happened from their notes. Suddenly, he felt someone was staring at him.

Liu Jia: “!!!”

This strong intuition prompted him to turn his head immediately, and he saw a man standing quietly at the door of the office. It was the mysterious senior in the teahouse, the Never-Sleeping Marquis, whom they had visited in the early morning.

Being stared at by such a gentle gaze, he felt a little flustered for some reason, as if he was a student who was caught by the teacher and was messing up.

He stood up immediately: "Hello, senior!"

His action startled Song Tu, who was frowning and changing his armor. He also turned his gaze and saw the person at the door. His heavy face finally showed a little surprise: "Did you receive the sound transmission note I sent?"

After he asked, he was a little surprised: "How did you get in?"

Yu was confused. Tu: "He just walked in."

Song Tu: “…Ah?”

His eyes widened: "Walking in?"

The strongest defense formation of the branch was open at the door. Was it made of paper? Or did he forget to open it?

Song Tu didn't even bother to continue talking to Buye Hou. He walked through the corridor in two steps and came to the gate. He used his spiritual power to feel it. The formation was operating steadily and continuously. There were only two situations in which this defensive formation would not be triggered. One was that there were non-human, demon, spirit, ghost or monster coming in. The other was that the person had reached the pinnacle of formation and could easily use this defensive formation and dissolve and change it at will. Naturally, he would not be attacked by the formation.

He recalled the doubtful look on his senior's gentle face and the words "just walked in", and felt deeply the gap between people, which was even greater than that between people and ghosts.

No wonder the leader of Group 7 admires his senior so much. After just one encounter and a defensive formation, he is already convinced!

Faced with such a powerful formation master, Song Tu's despair suddenly ignited a spark of hope - the predecessor could easily master such a complex defensive formation, he must have studied various formations handed down from ancient times, maybe the sealing formation where the disaster beast Fei was located, the predecessor also had some experience!

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and Yu Tu felt a little uneasy when he stared at her.

He saw the unkempt, unshaven uncle in front of him suddenly walk up to him and excitedly asked in a tone that was almost like a savior: "Senior! Do you have a deep understanding of the ancient sealing array?"

Yu Tu: “……?”

…

After a rather illogical discussion between the two, Yu Tu finally understood why he was so excited—because he basically ignored the defensive formation at the gate of the base and walked straight in.

After Song Tu swore that it was "not a human, a demon, a spirit, a ghost, or a monster" and could be ignored, Yu Tu felt a guilty feeling he had not felt in a long time.

The body of the Buyehou is made entirely of energy, which just happens to be outside the category of “neither human nor demon nor spirit nor ghost nor monster”, which covers almost all types in the world.

When Yu Tu hinted that it was possible that the first situation was slightly more common than the second, Song Tu patted his chest and guaranteed that the possibility of the second situation was thousands of times higher than the first situation. There has never been any existence other than human, demon, spirit, ghost or monster since the establishment of the Abnormal Bureau.

Yu Tu: “…”

Faced with this impeccable logic, he could only remain silent.

Silence is his only resistance.

Then, Song Tu realized it again.

"We are indeed average in ability, otherwise we wouldn't be outside the top ten." He shook his head a little embarrassedly, "There are only a handful of people in the inner world who can break through the defense formation of the Alien Bureau in a very short time. I have never heard of anyone who can resolve it so quietly and easily like you, so you don't have to be modest."

Yu Tu: “…”

What he wanted to say was blocked in his throat by Song Tu's endless chatter.

While Song Tu was speaking, Liu Jia, who had already finished recording, came over and advised him with a sincere look: "Senior Buyehou, your ability is obvious to all. Now the mutation is draining the vitality of all existence in Chongming City. The longer the delay, the more danger ordinary people will be in!"

The two of them cooperated with each other, talking back and forth, without any PUA or moral kidnapping, they just sold themselves out with all their might, and the one with such good eloquence that even the little yellow flower in the field had to cry and applaud at the same time.

So Yu Tu got on the "pirate ship" in a daze.

After Yu Tu regained consciousness from being deceived, he was already less than a hundred meters away from the gate of the abandoned community of Happy Land.

This consumes a precious mass space teleportation charm.

Yu Tu: “!!!”

He turned around and saw that the two assistants of Team 14 had happy expressions on their faces, saying "We're saved, we're saved, we're finally saved."

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he was able to kill people from thousands of miles away.

The gate of the abandoned community that had fallen to the ground had been completely rusted and turned black, emitting a strange smell. The four words "Happy Land" hanging high in the air were red to the point of turning black.

Yu Tu heard a sound that was neither crying nor laughing.

There was a gust of strong wind in front of him. Yu Tu turned his head back. Less than one meter away from him stood a monster with a human face and a pig body. There was no white in its eyes. The entire eyes were black, with a faint red color.

Its eyes met Yu Tu's.

Like a pig but with a human face.

It's aboriginal.

It opened its mouth, its sharp fangs still clinging to dark red meat threads, its mouth corners lifted up, revealing a strange smile: "Marquis of Nevernight."

In the black eyes, a faint red seemed to be flowing, staring at Yu Tu's eyes, as if trying to see something through his eyes.

But after just one second of staring at each other, its eyes turned from black to red, and the red was so intense that it seemed like blood would flow out at any moment.

"Marquis of Nevernight!"

It called out again, and this time there was a hint of sadness in the sound.

Yu Tu took a step back.

The next second, the abbo's eyes suddenly began to bleed wildly. It stood there and let out a shrill scream. The sound was so sharp that it sounded like a broken bow. Then, it was completely silent.

It's dead.

Liu Jia, who was standing a few meters away from Yu Tu, murmured, "Senior Buyehou... is really too strong."

Song Tu's eyes lit up: "I said that you even know about the ancient sealing formation. It's a piece of cake for you to deal with the degeneration of alien beasts!"

The strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be divided into auspicious beasts, ferocious beasts, catastrophic beasts and other categories. However, no matter what kind of strange beasts they are, after they have degenerated, they are all collectively called "weird beasts".

The ape is a degenerate monster.

After being degenerated, the ape knows people’s past and can eat people’s future.

As long as you look into its eyes, it will know your past from childhood to adulthood, it will grasp the destiny of your growth and the moment it calls out your name, it can take away your life, which is also your future.

Among the vast archives of Alien Returns, there was once a file of a degenerated ape. At that time, three groups outside the ten groups died, and two groups within the ten groups suffered casualties. It can be said that human lives were lost.

Even if you don't make eye contact with a gibbon, as long as it keeps calling out your name and recalling your past, it can still seriously injure you or kill you.

Unless this person has no past.

For a person without a past, the ape will die in the process of pursuing that person's past, dying in the void without a location.

But as long as people exist, they must have a past. Even if they have forgotten it, the ape can see it.

Therefore, excluding this impossibility, the only way to kill the ape is to fight it head-on.

There is no other way.

After Song Tu went through all the information about the ape in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh: "The strength of the senior, Buyehou, is truly unfathomable."

"Yes." Liu Jia echoed from the side, "In such an emergency and dangerous situation, Senior Buyehou actually made a prediction. When the ape was about to die, he took a step back, and the dead ape fell right at his feet, not more, not less."

Song Tu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

His words were full of yearning: "I don't know if I will ever be able to be like my predecessors, killing enemies with a single move and with ease!"

Yu Tu was frightened and stepped back, his body stiff, but he heard their whispered conversation: "..."

Don't overthink it!!
