"Wait!"
Huai Shi subconsciously raised his hand to object, only to see Crow throw over a full travel bag: "Take it, use it on the road."
"What is this?"
He subconsciously caught it, not paying attention for a moment.
In the next moment, Huai Shi slipped.
A big hole appeared under Huai Shi's feet. With a scream, he fell into the darkness.
The Special Affairs Department, which had regained its silence, was silent again.
"How tragic, not even chickens and dogs were left …"
Crow spread its wings, swept over the messy dungeon, went up the stairs, flew over the silent hall full of wreckage, and landed on the roof of the Special Affairs Department. It looked up at the dark pillars of smoke that were invisible to the naked eye.
Looking down from the sky, through the layers of camouflage and the turbulent power hidden in the dark, Crow's crimson eyes revealed the true appearance of everything.
Like a flying bird, a huge shadow slowly spread out like a tide, covering the entire city.
Nine ferocious heads pointed in different directions, devouring the sacrifices and sacrifices offered everywhere in the city, as if returning to the egg.
Hibernating in the darkness, nurturing changes from hell.
"Nine Phoenixes? How interesting. "
She laughed softly. "Should I say they are determined or brainless? But in the end, it's all for naught. "
No one responded.
The stage was ready, and the giant curtain was pulled open.
The real show was about to begin.
But, who would be the protagonist this time?
.
.
Huai Shi felt himself falling in the darkness.
The wind whistled, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally sat on the ground. Before he could get up, he felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and a heavy iron whip hovered in front of him.
It was close at hand.
Huai Shi's hair stood on end.
"Who is it!"
Huai Shi looked at the iron whip and saw a burly man standing in front of him. His left arm was broken at the shoulder, and his face was pale, but his eyes seemed to be on fire, covered in blood vessels.
"Big Brother, don't shoot, it's me …"
Huai Shi subconsciously raised his hands, but felt that something was wrong halfway through his words, and quickly corrected himself: "It's an ally! We're allies! "
The bearded man looked at him coldly. The iron whip hovered in front of him, motionless. It was as if the slightest movement would directly stab him to death.
He could feel a chilling killing intent from the other party.
Looking at the strange, badly mutilated corpse behind the burly man, one could tell that his killing intent was real.
Even though they were separated by a few inches, the pressure from the iron whip was so heavy that it was as if it had materialized and pressed down heavily on his shoulder, causing him to be almost unable to move as sweat poured down his back.
"Well, I can explain …"
"Astronomy Society?"
The burly man asked first.
Huai Shi was stunned. "Uh, that's right. How did you know?"
The burly man glanced at his bag, which had fallen earlier than Huai Shi's. Someone had thoughtfully pinned his work card for the Astronomy Society on the seal of the bag.
The name, age, and photo stickers were used to indicate one's identity, just like a blind date, so as to prevent friendly fire.
That was too f * cking sweet.
It would be even better if the landing method was more stable!
"Huai Shi, right?" He looked at the harmless and innocent face of the youth in front of him, and his expression became more and more unhappy. "You're the local Ascender in the report. I know you."
"Uh … …" Huai Shi didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. "Who are you?"
"Social Security Bureau's Special Operations Department, Third Order, Jin Mu."
After confirming Huai Shi's identity, he slowly put away his whip and pulled out a metal emblem from his pocket. The emblem was imprinted with Jin Mu's Origin Substance fluctuations and his military rank using alchemy techniques that could not be faked.
After going through Ai Qing's training, Huai Shi at least knew how to verify the authenticity of the emblem. After confirming that it was authentic, he hurriedly returned it with both hands. "Sorry for the disrespect."
"Come with me."
He obviously didn't have a good impression of Huai Shi. He took the emblem and lifted the iron whip with one arm, once again walking in front. "Just don't drag me down."
It was not until now that Huai Shi had the time to take a closer look at the surroundings.
They seemed to be underground, in a huge tunnel. There were traces of excavation everywhere. With the flickering light above their heads, they could see the traces of fighting everywhere. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle.
And when Huai Shi took a step forward, he stepped on a broken rail.
Railway?
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. "Subway?"
Combining the scene with the surroundings, he could almost determine where he was.
No, if he thought about it carefully, if the Returned Pure People really wanted to cause trouble, there was no doubt that the subway line in Xin Hai, which had been dug for years, was the most convenient place, right?
He held his bag in one hand and the manual given to him by Crow in the other. He followed behind Jin Mu. "Where are we going?"
Jin Mu walked in front and said without turning his head, "To find my partner, Shen Yue, and your superior."
"Ai Qing?"
Huai Shi was stunned.
Jin Mu said, "Before I was dragged down, I saw him grab the inspector. They should be together."
"Oh."
Huai Shi nodded. Then, he took the opportunity to lower his head and continue to flip through the manual in his hand. He nodded from time to time and clicked his tongue in wonder.
In the end, Jin Mu turned around and frowned. "What are you looking at?"
"The manual." Huai Shi closed the manual in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. "After looking at it for a long time, I have a rough understanding of it. Next time, I'll have to ask her to prepare an idiot's version for me. There are too many long explanations."
He put down the travel bag in his hand and took a deep breath.
"Wait for me, let me try —"
Then, he got into a horse stance, clenched his fists, and hummed. He tried his best to encourage himself. His face was red, but no matter how you looked at it, he looked like he was constipated. Jin Mu was confused.
There was a long and awkward silence.
"Sorry, I'm not in a good condition."
Huai Shi coughed awkwardly. "Let's continue."
Jin Mu looked at him indifferently for a long time. Then, he retracted his gaze and turned forward. But as soon as he took a step, his arm seemed to have no bones. He pulled the iron whip and stabbed it behind him.
He blocked the axe that was chopping down from behind.
He slowly turned around and stared at the slightly stunned teenager. His expression was gloomy.
"Are you crazy?"
"You have to believe that this is a misunderstanding." Huai Shi looked at the axe in his hand and took a step back awkwardly. "I originally planned to let you die painlessly, but since I've been discovered, there's nothing I can do."
He grinned, twisted his neck, and stretched his muscles and bones that were stiff from being trapped in the cage for a long time. With a crackling sound, wisps of gray flames slowly emerged from under the clothes in front of his chest, igniting his skin inch by inch.
Soon, in addition to the pale Fire of Origin in his hands, his whole body was shrouded in gray gloomy flames. In the dancing flames, everything seemed to become blurred. It was impossible to tell whether it was a substance or an illusion. It was faint as if it had melted into the darkness.
And in front of his chest, the vortex-like crack slowly rotated, like the furnace in the deepest part of hell.
It was glowing.
Stigmata · Ghost, activate.
"Although I'm very grateful for you telling me so much, let's stop here …"
In the shroud of flames, the teenager who looked like a devil smiled. "So, do you want me to stab you to death first and then do an autopsy, or obediently take off this fake face and let me see your true face?"
"I've … been … discovered?"
At that moment, Jin Mu's cold expression stiffened. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing an exaggerated and unnatural smile. His mouth almost stretched to the root of his ears.
Then, from his mouth, a thick black liquid slowly gushed out, emitting a foul smell. The liquid was almost boiling and rolling, making a sticky sound.
"What … did I … do wrong?"
"To tell you the truth, when the Stigmata was activated, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes."
Huai Shi carried the axe in his hand and pointed at his iron-gray eyes. In the reflection of his eyes, Jin Mu in front of him had been completely torn apart, showing signs of decay. For a long time, in the corpse-like shell, a thick purple-black liquid was flowing, revealing its original appearance.
This was what Huai Shi saw the moment the Stigmata was activated.
Fortunately, the instruction manual was detailed enough.
But even so, Huai Shi found it hard to believe that there was a border mutant that could even disguise the fluctuations of Origin. Now it seemed that he could even obtain part of his memory, which was really surprising.
"Unfortunately, it stinks."
Huai Shi whispered softly, "If you take me to other places, I'm afraid I won't suspect you."
He sniffed the gradually thickening stench in the air. The smell of rotting corpses and blood mixed together, making him feel nauseous.
"Anyway, here … it's enough …"
The ghostly thing turned its neck almost 180 degrees and looked back in the direction they had been going. In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly lit up. Soon, one deformed creature after another crawled out of the darkness.
Some of them looked like humans, but their bones were deformed and their hair had fallen off. Some looked like wild dogs and cats, but their bodies were shockingly large, like lions. There was also a bunch of rat-like ghostly things.
As the ghostly thing disguised as Jin Mu screamed, the dozen or so deformed corrosive creatures crawling on the ground slowly moved forward. Some of them directly lay on the ceiling of the tunnel, dripping stinky saliva and landing at Huai Shi's feet.
"Last question."
Huai Shi looked at the monsters around him awkwardly, raised his finger and asked, "Do you border mutants have a habit of looking for psychiatrists?"
No one responded.
As the mutated Jin Mu screamed, the ghostly things surrounded him, and the stench hit him in the face.
It seemed that there was no such thing.
What a pity.
But for Huai Shi, it seemed to be just right.
He could try the Stigmata talent recommended by Crow in the manual. It seemed to be called …
At that moment, as Huai Shi opened his arms, the fire of ashes covering his body instantly spread in all directions, turning into a thin and eye-catching rust-colored fog!
Shrouded in the fog, endless fear broke out in an instant, invading every consciousness that had the ability to think. It mixed the pain, sorrow, and fear extracted from countless deaths into one, and suddenly burst out from the deepest part of the consciousness.
Screams of fear suddenly sounded, and at that moment, from the rust-colored fog, a pair of burning eyes slowly raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth.
This was the core talent of the Stigmata Spirit, with a radius of three meters …
