Chapter 115 Chapter 115
Xia Meng is best at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
He seemed to be asking for advice humbly, but in fact he was just talking to me silently for a long time.
Even an old fox like Luo Xunfei couldn't fully react for a while.
He thought she had really let down most of her guard against him.
Then, when she wiped his face, stretched out his claws, and grabbed the vital point on his neck, he realized her true intention.
Backtrack!
Why can she use backtracking!?
Her special ability is clearly——
Before he had time to think, the storm brought about by the flashback had instantly swallowed him up.
This scene seemed even more ferocious than the effect of his own retrospection.
The moment before he was completely pulled into the retrospective world she had created, only one thought flashed through Luo Xunfei's mind:
She is indeed worthy of being called such. No matter how disadvantageous the situation is, she always finds a way to survive.
It was like this before, and it is like this now.
…
In the darkness, Xia Meng saw countless pieces of glass flying towards her from a distance.
Every piece of glass fragment hides a changing light and shadow, and carries a flowing memory.
It was Xia Meng's first time using backtracking and she was not very skilled at it.
As thousands of fragments flew past her, she only had time to reach out and grab one of them.
The moment she held the fragment in her palm, a ray of light flew out from the fragment and quickly enveloped her.
Then he quickly pulled her in.
The first thing Xia Meng noticed the moment she entered was the dark sky.
She didn't know what time it was.
All I know is that the sky is terribly gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky, and the sun and moon are not visible.
The cold wind blew in her face, making her hair flutter.
Xia Meng subconsciously closed her eyes and raised her hand to gather her hair, but she could smell the scent of burnt smoke in her nostrils.
She tilted her head and opened her eyes, only to find that there were strings of black smoke rising from the distance in all directions.
And she herself was standing on a street.
The houses on both sides of the street were destroyed beyond recognition by some unknown force.
There were traces of fire everywhere on the buildings and vehicles, as well as traces of external impact, and even many strange traces that even she could not identify.
The air was filled with smoke and dust.
Xia Meng choked and coughed several times subconsciously.
Where is this?
Why is this the case?
Had she strayed into some foreign war front?
However, she reacted the next second, frowning and muttering, "No, that's not right... This is in China..."
The signs on the street shops are all in Chinese.
The license plates on the scrapped vehicles on the roadside are all Beijing license plates.
This is... Beijing?
"How could it be?" She turned around in astonishment and found that it was true. She was near Beijing University and she had been along this road before.
What exactly happened?
She ran a few steps in a daze, trying to find Luo Xunfei.
This is his memory, but what about others?!
Where did he go!?
Xia Meng ran down the street, regretting that it was probably because she was not proficient in her job.
It was her first time using her supernatural powers, and she couldn't control the details, which resulted in her being unable to find the content she wanted to watch in a very short time like Luo Xunfei.
You can only passively accept where you are sent.
After barely confirming the location, the next step is to confirm the time.
Xia Meng ran on the street and soon found a person in a car that had hit a roadside tree.
The driver had already fainted. When Xia Meng approached, she first checked his breath and then felt his pulse on his neck, but he was already dead.
She lifted the driver's left hand and took a look.
The watch on my wrist read 3:17 PM.
You can only read the time on this watch dial, not the date.
So she leaned into the car again and searched around, trying to find the driver's cell phone.
As a result, a scrapped mobile phone was found under the handbrake. The screen was completely shattered and stained with blood. Not to mention telling the time, it couldn't even be turned on.
Xia Meng had no choice but to continue looking for other clues.
Somehow, she always had a bad feeling.
A cold wind blew through the streets.
When running around the corner, Xia Meng suddenly discovered something and quickly ran to the nearest newsstand.
Yes, you can roughly guess a date from the newspapers at the newsstand.
It may not be the current time point, but it will definitely be the date when an unexpected event occurs in this world.
She ran to the newsstand and picked up the latest newspaper.
Next to the four big red characters of Beijing Daily, the date of the day is clearly printed: November 28, 2024.
Xia Meng was stunned.
November 28th?
2024?
That's not right.
In reality, it is still November 16, 2024.
Is this in the future?
She raised her head in panic, looking at the collapsed buildings and the spreading flames emitting black smoke around her, the wreckage of many vehicles on the street and the countless dead bodies...
What will Beijing’s future look like in 12 days?
What the hell... just happened!?
Xia Meng suppressed her inner panic and quickly turned over a few more bodies. Unfortunately, her cell phone was either broken or out of battery.
After searching more than ten people, I finally found a mobile phone with 1% battery left in one of their pockets.
She only had time to pick it up and take a look.
December 1, 2024.
Just as I saw the current time, my phone ran out of power and turned off completely.
It's December.
In other words, now it has been three full days since the moment of "doomsday".
Xia Meng walked on the street for a long time.
The scenes I saw became more and more numerous and more shocking.
The streets and alleys of Beijing were almost turned into a sea of corpses and blood.
Countless bodies lay in the streets, in cars, in shops, and even in homes.
There are many different ways of dying.
Too many.
There were so many that Xia Meng was even afraid to move forward.
Is there no one left alive?
Xia Meng wondered if she should go to the Black Tower to take a look.
But in this situation, the subway has stopped running and she doesn't have a car. How can she get to the Black Tower which is dozens of kilometers away?
As she thought about this, she realized that she had arrived at the gate of the black tower.
She raised her head and saw that the towering black tower was cut in half by some unknown force. The upper part collapsed to the side and the lower part was also crumbling.
Even the Black Tower has become like this?
What about Li Zhou and the others——
Xia Meng wondered as she walked, could it be the magic eye?
The evil eye devoured the black tower?
No, that's not right. The Demon Eye did appear in the background before.
The damage caused by the Demon Eye is devouring. No matter the size, it will only devour a piece of space at most. It is impossible to cause such an end-of-the-world effect.
unless……
Unless it is something more dangerous and brutal than the spread of plague.
Xia Meng was thinking anxiously, her eyes sweeping over the people lying in disorder outside the gate.
I immediately noticed a figure wearing the white uniform of the Guide Center.
She recognized him immediately; it was Ou Xu!
"Ou Xu!" She ran over immediately.
Ou Xu lay there with his back against the glass wall next to the gate, his head hung, motionless.
Xia Meng ran over and quickly held his hand. Just as she was about to speak to wake him up, she discovered that his body temperature was frighteningly cold, and his skin was faintly blue.
It was obvious that the person had been gone for some time.
Xia Meng looked at him with some pity. There was a bloodstain at the corner of Ou Xu's mouth.
how so?
Even Ou Xu...
What about Li Zhou? What about Lao Wang? And what about Zhou Qi, Su Fangxiao, and the others?
Her eyes turned red with pain.
Even though she knew it was just a memory and not something that really happened in reality, she still felt like she was stabbed in the chest, especially at the moment when she saw her close friend die with her own eyes.
She took a few deep breaths, unable to bear the pain, and was about to let go of Ou Xu's hand, but she found that Ou Xu was holding something in his palm.
She was stunned for a moment and quickly opened his hand.
In his palm was a small evidence bag.
Inside the bag were two smaller plastic bags.
A bag contained very common oval white tablets. Xia Meng recognized them as very common guide element tablets.
There are many different types of guide elements.
For example, guide hormone injection and guide hormone tablets.
The difference between the two is:
The injection takes effect quickly and has excellent efficacy, so the staff inside the Black Tower basically give priority to using the injection.
The effect of tablets is slightly worse than that of injections, and they need to be taken long-term, regularly and in fixed amounts.
Since the pills are provided free of charge by the Black Tower, the low-income sentinels basically choose to use pills instead of injections.
Xia Meng was a little confused. What was Ou Xu doing with this before he died?
Is there something wrong with this pill?
She then looked at another round white pill.
She turned the bag over and saw a black mark on the other side of the white tablet.
Xia Meng looked closely and saw a black crescent moon.
The black crescent moon...
Isn’t that the symbol of the White Night Organization?
This is a white tablet! ?
Xia Meng quickly looked at the line of handwritten text at the top of the evidence bag.
She recognized the handwriting as Ou Xu's.
【After drug analysis, the similarity of the two ingredients is 99%. 】
Xia Meng was stunned.
Are the ingredients of the small white tablets highly similar to the guide factors they commonly use?
What this means is...
Xia Meng realized something in an instant.
There are two possibilities for this sentence.
One is that the dangers of the small white tablets are not as high as they think, and the ingredients are basically the same as those of the guide factor.
There is another possibility, which is... the so-called guide pills that the Black Tower has been distributing are essentially small white pills.
No, it doesn’t have to be just pills.
Maybe even the injection...
The moment he imagined this, the color on Xia Meng's face faded little by little.
If there are problems with pills or injections...
Then who can escape?
According to Heita's usual practice, even the guides in the counseling department would prescribe some pills or injections for auxiliary treatment after conducting targeted one-on-one counseling.
Not to mention that their special service department will also distribute special guide injections.
Xia Meng's breathing suddenly became heavy.
It is said that the small white tablets can trigger violent symptoms in sentinels.
When the white film was rampant in Europe and the United States, black towers in various countries submitted similar reports.
She subconsciously looked around.
Could it be that... these tragedies before our eyes were caused by this thing?
…
"Xia Meng!"
Luo Xunfei's loud shout suddenly rang in my ears.
Xia Meng suddenly came back to her senses.
In the blink of an eye, the dim and cold world and the corpses scattered all disappeared.
Xia Meng raised her eyes and met Luo Xunfei's face.
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Luo Xunfei's mouth. He covered his mouth and coughed several times, breathing intermittently, "Is this considered...killing the master with random punches?"
Before today, he would never have thought that there would be a day when he would be forced to go back in time.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and pulled Xia Meng out of the flashback.
He coughed several times again and looked up at Xia Meng's dazed eyes.
He knew what she saw.
This girl was not very good at retrospection, but she got the point right away.
The amount of information in that memory was enough for her to discover the truth.
His memories didn't overlap much with hers.
Therefore, he had planned from the beginning to let her see her own memories with her own eyes, and there was no need for her to see his.
But he didn't expect that this girl was too impatient to wait for him to finish reading it bit by bit, and wanted to get some spoilers from him directly.
Seeing that Xia Meng didn't move for a long time, Luo Xunfei couldn't help but ask: "...What are you thinking about?"
Xia Meng came back to her senses, looked at him, and asked with a complicated expression: "...Is what I saw true?"
Luo Xunfei lowered his eyes: "Yeah."
Xia Meng: "What about the world I am in now?"
Luo Xunfei didn't answer.
After a long pause, he slowly said, "It's true for you, too."
