Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Shelter Night. Pale...
night.
A pale and frail man walked on the street.
The asphalt road was empty; it was a road few people traveled on.
The street lights formed a symmetrical row on both sides, and the halo of light could not cover the entire road surface, casting huge circular bright spots on the ground.
The man wandered among these flickering bright spots.
The slender limbs swayed limply and heavily like balloons filled with water.
The man's lips moved, and he was still wearing the same dirty shirt and trousers he had worn a few days ago.
His body was covered in dirt, and his eyes were hollow and lifeless, as if they were not organs but a pair of decorations.
He seemed to be sleepwalking forever, always confused and dazed, not knowing where he came from or where he was going.
He just kept walking. Walking and walking. From time to time, he would make meaningless sounds from his throat.
“Ah, ah…”
A hoarse breath sounded in the empty street.
Not far away, Shi Shaoning, who was hiding in the shadows of the trees, raised his hand indifferently: "Do it!"
In the darkness, he was answered by the rustling of countless clothes and boots.
In an instant, several team members in combat uniforms rushed out from all directions, holding weapons and quickly approaching the center of the road.
The well-trained team immediately surrounded the pale man.
The man seemed not to notice anything around him and continued walking forward in a daze.
His eyes wandered towards the ground, as if nothing could attract his attention.
Crash——
A large amount of water sprayed out!
It turned out that the guns in the team members' hands were not loaded with bullets, but special potions.
A strong smell suddenly exploded in the air!
...smells like toilet water.
Shi Shaoning had been wanting to complain for a long time. Why did they disguise the sobering potion as toilet water? It made him look so funny every time he surrounded the delirium!
The enemy is an S-class! They're in a serious situation of containing an S-class, but suddenly they're spraying a ton of toilet water at them!
Shi Shaoning suppressed his dissatisfaction, his expression solemn, and stared at the center of the battle.
Fortunately, the team members had been trained, so they could hold back their laughter even when water was gushing out of their submachine guns.
The pale man in the center of the battle was soaked from head to toe after being sprayed with a ton of toilet water.
His thin shirt and pants clung to his body, revealing his thin frame. His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and his eyes, beyond their hollowness, finally showed some expression.
confused.
He seemed not to understand what was happening before his eyes. He just stared blankly at the people surrounding him and at his clothes and pants that were suddenly soaked.
…Fuck, here it comes again.
It's always like this! With this blank, dazed expression!
This made Shi Shaoning feel like they were bullying a mentally retarded person!
However, after the painful experience of being turned into a mentally retarded person and making a fool of himself on the variety show last time, Shi Shaoning will not be soft-hearted this time!
"Get out of the way!" Shi Shaoning shouted, and all the team members holding water guns retreated together.
At the same time he flew forward.
Along with him, a black cheetah and a snowy goshawk also rushed out like lightning!
The cheetah's agile figure flashed by in the night, and the snowy goshawk cried and attacked from the side!
The pale man raised his head blankly, and the figures of birds and beasts were reflected in his blank pupils.
He staggered two steps and couldn't help but step back.
His feet suddenly stopped.
Looking down, I saw a quagmire appeared on the ground without me noticing.
The quagmire was like a living thing; the sticky, churning mud clung to his legs and dragged him down continuously.
His legs were no longer strong enough, and any resistance would only sink him deeper into the quagmire.
...I don’t really know how to resist.
He had no weapons in his hands, and his shirt and trousers were the only things on his body that could be called "protective gear".
Nothing else.
He has nothing but himself.
The worst thing is that he is still very weak and has no fighting ability.
Bang!
He even had poor balance, so after his feet were tripped by the mud, he lost his balance and fell flat on his face in the mud.
The wet mud quickly soaked his trousers, and the splashing mud spots stained his pale and bloodless face.
However, he still seemed unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes. He just stared at the birds and beasts that were coming at him with a dull and sluggish look, with his dark, empty eyes wide open.
"..." Shi Shaoning frowned fiercely, but his movements did not stop. His five fingers suddenly opened!
In the darkness, almost invisible filaments shot out from his fingertips.
At the same time, the cheetah had already rushed behind the other party, twisted its thin and strong waist, and the black cheetah turned its head and bit something.
The goshawk cried out and swooped down from above!
"..." The pale man, mired in the mire, was drawn to the cry and looked up blankly. He saw a hawk flap its wings and fly overhead. Its powerful wings were like a curtain, fanning a gust of wind!
The pale man opened his eyes wide, but his gaze was still blank and blank.
At that moment, it seemed as if something light and weightless fell on his face, but it also seemed as if nothing had happened.
The next second, bang!
The pale man was knocked to the ground as if hit by a huge rock!
The invisible giant pressed him so hard that he couldn't move, and his bloodless face was pressed into the mud.
The mud stained his eyelashes and even seeped into his pupils.
He seemed completely oblivious to this, and maintained the same expression on his face.
The quagmire gradually swallowed him up, and invisible spider webs covered him tightly, while a force heavier than a thousand pounds pressed down on every joint in his body.
Cheetahs leap in the night and hawks circle over the city.
Shi Shaoning frowned and slowly approached, clasping his left hand's five fingers while slowly pressing down with his right hand.
The man stuck in the quagmire continued to sink in his palm.
The man was soaked to the skin, his shirt and trousers clinging to his body, and his face was covered in mud.
The only resistance he offered against the quagmire that was about to swallow him was a slight struggle.
The force was very light, just like a puppy curled up under the eaves on a rainy day.
“…” The muscles at the corners of Shi Shaoning’s eyes twitched slightly.
The next second, he clenched his fist!
The quagmire suddenly rose up and swallowed the man whole!
The pale figure suddenly disappeared into the quagmire!
"Success?!"
“Finally succeeded!”
The subordinates around came over excitedly.
Shi Shaoning also let out a long breath.
He turned his head and was about to say something to his subordinates when suddenly a strange smell came into his nostrils.
Muddy and wet.
A pale man, soaked to the skin and covered in mud, stumbled past him.
Pass by
"High-pressure water gun!" Shi Shaoning shouted, "Everyone retreat!"
The wet shirt clung to his body, and his slender arms and legs swayed limply and heavily like balloons filled with water.
All his subordinates quickly stepped back and raised their high-pressure water guns to attack him.
Under the impact of the huge water pressure, the pale man staggered and almost lost his balance.
Shi Shaoning gritted his teeth, seized this brief opportunity, and rushed forward again!
Crash——
The huge sound of water continued to wash, and various weapons took turns to attack.
Strange and bizarre sights illuminate the night sky.
If you were to watch from a high place outside the cordon, you would probably think fireworks were being set off.
However.
Delirium, which clearly cannot attack and has no intelligence, escapes from the collection container time and time again.
Again and again, again and again...
The high-pressure water gun filled with sobering potion continued to flush with great force, maintaining everyone's sanity and forcing back delirium countless times.
However, no matter how many times he was forced to retreat, Delirium would struggle to get up and stagger towards a certain direction.
No one cared where he was going, everyone had only one thought in mind: catch him!
Catch him! Contain him!
He must not be allowed near residential areas! Otherwise, everyone will be mentally polluted and fall into compulsory delirium!
So, every time Delirium staggered forward a step, he would be forced back two steps by the high-pressure water gun.
But neither side could kill the other.
The scene became tense.
…
Boom. Boom.
Lin Jianyuan walked into the subway, looked around, and randomly picked a seat to sit down.
It was night outside the window, and on it was his tired and sleepy reflection.
Lin Jianyuan looked out the window unconsciously and saw the city night scene receding, receding faster and faster.
Ding Dong. The phone vibrates.
Lin Jianyuan lowered his head and saw a 59-second voice message from the landlord.
Lin Jianyuan didn't bother to listen and directly clicked on the voice-to-text function. Characters flashed across the screen:
"I've fixed your air conditioner. Don't call me if you don't have anything else. It's not like I won't fix it for you. Young people have no patience at all. People like you..."
Pop.
Lin Jianyuan locked the screen directly and put the phone back into his pocket.
…
Delirium paused.
The high-pressure water gun continued to flush. Everyone was panting, their nerves were so tense that they dared not relax even a little.
Delirium, which had been forced back by the water column countless times but still insisted on moving forward, suddenly seemed to be lost at this moment.
His always lifeless eyes blinked slowly a few times, and he accidentally slipped and was knocked down by the high-pressure water gun again.
Bang!
The S-rank heretic fell headfirst into the puddle, struggling miserably.
Shi Shaoning: “…”
Everyone: “…”
So, why is the sobering potion prepared to smell like floral water!!!
Using a high-pressure water gun to contain the idiots is already annoying enough! And the water gun smells like toilet water!
“…Damn it!” Shi Shaoning finally couldn’t stand it anymore and raised his hand and waved towards the sky.
In an instant, the cheetah quickly jumped back to his side, and the goshawk also turned around and rushed back.
Even the puddle of mud on the ground seemed to have consciousness, and it was trying to pupate here in a slime-like manner.
"Team Shi?" The subordinates were all surprised when they saw this.
Shi Shaoning: "Collect the troops."
"What? Disbanding now? But delirium..."
Shi Shaoning shouted angrily, "What nonsense! We've been blocking him here for half an hour. Do you think we can catch him?"
Everyone knew that Captain Shi had a bad temper, so they naturally didn't dare to disobey him. It made sense, they had been facing off against Delirium for over half an hour. Fortunately, this S-rank heretic was a moron with no offensive power, otherwise they would have been wiped out 180 times.
"Then what should we do next? We can't just let Delirium go..." someone asked.
Shi Shaoning: “I don’t know!”
Subordinates: “…”
Shi Shaoning said angrily: "Why are you all looking at me? Ask your superiors for instructions!"
As he said this, he took out his cell phone while cursing and started calling his superior with a very sour expression.
Not far away, Delirium finally climbed out of the puddle, soaking wet, his pockets filled with mud.
After the fall, he seemed to remember his mission again.
His face returned to a dazed expression and he continued to sleepwalk forward.
However, this time——
"Direction changed?" Shi Shaoning frowned.
Everyone held high-pressure water guns in their hands, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Yes, the direction of the delirium has changed.
He no longer stubbornly walked towards the south, but changed direction - he started walking towards the north.
"Team Shi..." The subordinates hesitated.
Shi Shaoning hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand: "Spray him!"
Ten minutes later.
The superiors rushed over and looked in shock at the delirium of the man who was repeatedly washed by a high-pressure water gun, falling and getting up, getting up and falling again.
Superior: "Is this what you call mission accomplished???"
Shi Shaoning: "Just tell me whether the containment was successful or not."
Superior: “…”
Fortunately, Delirium is a mentally retarded person, so you can take him in in this way.
But you guys are going too far by gathering together to bully the mentally retarded!!!
Shi Shaoning: "Get off work!"
Although the intake process was a bit painful, today's part-time job is finally over.
Shi Shaoning took off his combat uniform and rushed to the crew exhausted.
Filming during the day is tiring enough, and when I finally get some time to rest, I have to be forced to shelter heretics at night.
This life is simply unbearable!
I shouldn't have gotten into this business in the first place.
Shi Shaoning thought of the stupid boss who rushed over shouting "Save the world, humanity!" and "Home is behind us!", and his fists couldn't help but clench again.
Shit! Now that I think about it, it’s basically a pyramid scheme!
Under the cover of night, Shi Shaoning walked alone under the stars and the moon.
The hotel booked by the crew was a holiday resort. It was a perfect night, the scorching summer heat had faded, and the tree-lined roads were filled with coolness.
The street lights gently illuminate the road, and the irritability caused by part-time overtime work is gradually soothed.
Shi Shaoning let out a long breath, and suddenly, the hairs on his back stood up!
"Hello."
A gentle voice with a smile.
"You're from the Administration, right? The field team?"
Shi Shaoning turned around in shock, only to see mottled shadows of trees, swaying moonlight, and standing under the warm yellow streetlight... an independent digestive system.
The pink intestines swayed like tentacles, carrying the two heretics like chickens.
Shi Shaoning was shocked. Before he could react, he saw two graceful arcs drawn in the air - the intestines threw the two heretics over.
With two loud slaps, the two heretics were thrown to the ground like tattered sacks, trembling and not daring to move.
Shi Shaoning: “?”
Digestive System: "Your Administration gives bonuses for capturing heretics, right? How much is an A-level? Give me a kickback."
Shi Shaoning: “???”
Digestive system: "I want an 80% kickback. This time in cash, next time via WeChat transfer."
Shi Shaoning: “No???????”
It got stronger.
I actually saw a high-level heretic blatantly asking for kickbacks while robbing the other party?!
