"I, Jia Wei, have always been a good boy. He will not harm others. Normally, he would not even step on an ant."
In the interrogation room on the surveillance screen, Wang Jiawei's mother said blankly, "My husband and I are usually busy with business, so we are a little neglectful of him, but he never needs us to worry about him … I don't believe that he has changed after only seeing him for a few days. Can't you tell me what he has done? Where is he now? "
After Headmaster Chui's self-explosion, the first batch of patients' family members were quickly detained. They had the closest contact with the patients so they had to be quarantined.
Among the students' family members, Wang Jia Wei's parents were more unique because two days before Arbor Day, they had left for another business meeting.
This time, the interrogation was not held at Mo Bei City but the neighbouring Chi Lin City.
"Jia Wei is a person who knows what he is doing. Therefore, when he brought his friends home to play, we did not care. When Lee Yuhan's mother called me that day, I did not think anything would happen. I told her not to call the police because I was worried. Sometimes, it is not that young people do not know what they are doing, they simply do not understand the consequences …
Have I told you this before? Jiawei has been donating to a few stray animal charities and crowdfunding campaigns. You can check his records. He is very empathetic and considerate of other people. Sometimes, it is Jia Wei who educates us … "
Wang Jia Wei's mother's eyes were red. "Jia Wei, my son … please let me see him …"
…
Dawn arrived and the sun rose into the sky.
At Mo Bei City, another day had begun.
Even though Mo Bei City was not a big city, it was home to more than 2 million people. There were not many skyscrapers, even the landmarks were not tall. However, the city centre was bustling with activity. There was a shopping mall where cars and people came and went.
Today was Zhu Haiwei's day off and so was his girlfriend, Jin Lixin. The two could leave the base for a day of fun.
Both worked at the secret department, one at the Investigation Department and the other at the Medical Department. This kind of holiday was rare. However, after the organization dealt a heavy blow to the Land of Mother last year, their days had become more leisurely. That was why the members of the Spell Department did not have a day off.
In fact, Zhu Haiwei wasn't just going to play today. He had another plan that he had been preparing for a long time.
He and Lixin had been dating for three years, and they were both in their thirties. Why not take advantage of this peaceful period to get married?
Otherwise, after a while, who knew when he would be so busy that he wouldn't even have time to meet.
At this time, the two of them were walking on the busy pedestrian walkway of the commercial plaza. There were some restaurants around them that had set up outdoor tables to shade from the sun. Sixty to seventy percent of the seats were occupied by tourists.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jin Lixin adjusted her glasses. "You can't hide anything. Just say what you want to say."
Zhu Haiwei was a little nervous and smiled embarrassedly. He was a rough guy and didn't know how to create a romantic atmosphere. He looked up a lot of things on the internet, but he couldn't find anything suitable for him. Moreover, they had professional restrictions. They couldn't make a big scene like a proposal in public.
"Li Xin." Zhu Haiwei could only say it very seriously and sincerely. He was a head taller than his girlfriend. Kneeling on one knee was too eye-catching, so he had to bend his body weirdly. "Marry me. Be my wife. Let me take care of you for the rest of your life."
Jin Lixin was stunned at first, but she immediately laughed. After a while, she said, "That's it … Not even a proposal ring?"
"I haven't bought one yet." Zhu Haiwei was also happy. He patted his head and said, "We only have a holiday today. How about we go buy one now?"
"Your proposal is too insincere …" Jin Lixin said. She seemed to be helpless, but she shook her head happily. "Forget it. I owed you in my previous life. Let's get married."
So, she agreed to it? Zhu Haiwei's heart shook. He wasn't very excited, but he was happy and at ease. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then let's go buy a ring!" He took his girlfriend's hand and walked into the mall.
The two of them walked for a short distance. Before they entered the mall, they suddenly heard people exclaiming behind them. The security guard at the entrance of the mall was also very surprised. He looked up at the sky. What happened? Zhu Haiwei and Jin Lixin were confused. They turned back to look, and their hearts squeezed.
In the originally clear blue sky, there were more than a dozen shadows flying in different directions. They were giant birds.
At this time, one of the bird shadows swooped down towards the square. They could clearly see that the bird had long wings like a bat's. Its body was like an elephant's, but its head was like a horse's. Its body was covered in strange scales and feathers.
On the back of the bird, there was a human figure sitting.
The man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a green school uniform. He looked like a high school student.
"What is that?" Some of the visitors immediately took out their phones to take pictures. Some were stunned, and some ran away in a hurry.
Zhu Haiwei was startled for a second before he reacted. Perhaps it was instinct, he pulled out the gun from his waist and ran over. At the same time, he shouted, "I'm the police! There's danger! Everyone retreat into the mall, quick! Lixin, call the station, quick! "
He did not know any spells, so he raised the automatic pistol and aimed at the shadow's head. He pulled the trigger and fired repeatedly. Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Everyone, get into the mall!" Jin Lixin reacted instantly. That was not a strange creature under Mysterium's control, it was not!
The bullets hit the shadow of the bird, the horse's head, and the wings. Black blood splattered everywhere. It was solid, and it did not stop. It was still flying over.
The hundreds of people in the square were all stunned.
Some ran towards the mall but there were others who wanted to come out but they were spooked by the gunshots.
All of a sudden, whether it was Zhu Haiwei, Jin Lixin, or the ordinary people, they all saw an extremely strange scene.
The young man riding on the giant bird's back had his face flushed red due to rapid blood flow. From his skin to his insides, there was a glow. His whole head turned transparent. It was filled with worm silk and worms … The glow was actually their wiggling …
The high school student's voice was not loud but it was audible enough for everyone to hear.
"The storm is here, the flies should follow the wind. The dead water is here, the mayflies should follow the current."
Bang! Following a crisp crack, the transparent head exploded. The worm silk and worms splattered. They rained down from the sky like a rain of blood.
They landed on Zhu Haiwei's face and then on the ground.
Suddenly, an even louder cry of surprise rang out in the commercial plaza.
Such screams echoed throughout Mo Bei City following the arrival of the birds.
