Fangzheng did not know what was going on in the Pacific Ocean, but considering that it was already late, Fangzheng decided to wait until tomorrow to check it out.
However, the next morning, when Fangzheng arrived at the hospital, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
People were coming and going in the hospital, and there were patients screaming in pain everywhere. Ambulances kept going in and out, and from time to time, people could be seen screaming and covered in blood being sent in. The Emergency Department and the Department of Surgery were so busy that they did not even have time to rest.
What was going on?
Seeing this, Fangzheng was dumbfounded. Could it be that there was an earthquake in Kanto? That did not seem to have happened in the past two years. Of course, it was normal for Japan to have earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and such. But last night, he worked so late and did not notice anything. If there was really a big earthquake, it would not have happened only now.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
With this in mind, Fangzheng walked to the reception desk and grabbed a nurse to question her.
"Ah, Doctor Kasugano, good morning."
"Good morning, what's going on? Did an accident happen somewhere? "
Fangzheng thought about it and guessed that there was an accident in a factory. Most likely, there was an explosion somewhere.
"I heard that they were attacked by some kind of animal. I'm not sure about the details. Sorry, I have to go through the line."
While saying this, the nurse quickly picked up the phone and started to arrange manpower. As for Fangzheng, he shrugged and retreated to the side. Although he did not know what happened here, it did not matter. Asakura Ryoko would definitely bring him news soon.
As expected, Asakura Ryoko soon brought him news.
"These people were attacked by fish."
"Fish?"
Faced with this unexpected answer, Fangzheng was a little dumbfounded.
"Attacked by sharks?"
Considering that the number of people in the surgery room was comparable to a supermarket sale, Fangzheng's first reaction when he heard the word "fish" was naturally a great white shark.
"No, it's a fish that was washed ashore."
"… What?"
"I heard that these people were injured by a walking fish."
"A walking fish?"
Fangzheng felt that he had been stunned three times in a row today.
"Did it grow legs?"
"Yes, at least according to the patients, these fish really have grown legs and run very fast. It's as agile as a cockroach. "
"… This is really …"
Fangzheng was dumbfounded for a long time and didn't know what to say. But soon, he immediately thought of Nimf's report last night.
Could this matter be related to Fu Jiang? But why was Fujiang doing this? She was not a fisherman. Cthulhu and its disciples had been turned into a seafood barbecue feast by her. Who would care about this?
But who knows? Since Fu Jiang had the Silver Key, she was bound to be mentally contaminated by the Outer Gods. She was not an expert like Aoya Masahiko who had studied these things. She was just an ordinary mortal. She might have already gone mad … Well, that was hard to say.
"Wu."
Suddenly, a strange stench wafted over, causing Fangzheng to frown.
"What's going on? Why is it so smelly? "
This was a hospital. Even if medical science was not advanced enough in this era, as a hospital affiliated to a famous university in Tokyo, the disinfection work was still quite good. Such a strong stench was rare in this place. Fangzheng keenly sensed that the stench not only contained the smell of rotting corpses, but also the smell of fish ….
What's going on?
"Help!"
"They're coming! Run!!"
At that moment, there were loud screams coming from outside the window. Fangzheng walked to the window and looked out. He could not help but be alarmed.
On the street outside the window, people were running as fast as they could. Behind them, fish could be seen darting forward. They had four limbs under their bodies, and like cockroaches, they pushed their bodies forward quickly.
Damn it, they really have long legs!
Seeing this, Fangzheng was really surprised. Although he had transmigrated to many worlds and seen many things, this was the first time he had seen fish with long legs. Not to mention, this was Earth, not some mysterious fantasy world. It was not surprising that there were mermaids in the latter.
But after a closer look, Fangzheng found that those legs were not real legs. In fact, these fishes were no different from ordinary fishes. The biggest difference was that their bodies were clamped by something similar to a hairpin, and the four legs that extended out of the hairpin were running desperately at this moment. It looked very strange.
But what was even stranger was that the fish were actually dead.
That was normal. How could fish live on the shore? They would never do that even in their dreams. To be honest, what was running all over the street now was actually the strange device under the fish's body. The fish were just stuck on it. It was just that when the device ran, it gave people the feeling that it was alive, so people would mistakenly think that the fish were alive.
No … .you can't say that ….
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the school of fish swimming in the street. At that moment, the school of fish had already followed the crowd and rushed towards the hospital.
"Close the door! Close the door!!"
Seeing this scene, the people in the hospital were also shocked, but the shoals of fish were as fast as cockroaches. Before they could even reach the door, a bunch of fish had already broken through the hospital gate and rushed in. Among them were tuna, sardines, flounder, herring …. Oh my god, there's even a whale?
Fangzheng's eyes widened as he watched a gigantic blue whale crash through the hospital's outer walls with the help of a similarly gigantic scaffold. He really wanted to bring this scene back for his little cuties to see. Such a scene was rare!
But it was not enough to just watch the show. The school of fish had already entered the hospital yard, and the stench they brought was even more unbearable. After all, it was the smell of hundreds or thousands of rotting fish. Think about the fishy smell in the seafood market every day, and then multiply it by a hundred times. No one could stand it.
It was almost comparable to a chemical weapon.
Seeing that the school of fish was about to flood into the hospital, Fangzheng's expression darkened. He stamped his foot lightly.
"Whoosh!!!"
The next moment, a well at the hospital gate suddenly flew up. Flames rose from it and quickly ignited the school of fish around it. Then, it quickly spread out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the school of fish was burned to ashes in the flames like a lit fuse, leaving only black ashes on the ground.
At the same time ….
"— — — — —!!!"
Accompanied by a strange cry, everyone saw that in the midst of the burning fish, a mass of gas suddenly appeared. It condensed together, looking like a cloud of all kinds of fish fused together and surged upwards. However, in the next moment, it was swallowed by the rolling flames, turning into sparks and quickly dissipating.
Seeing this, Fangzheng frowned.
"Did you see that, Ryoko?"
"Yes, I saw it, Master."
Ryoko Asakura, who was standing next to Fangzheng, also nodded.
"Is that what humans call a ghost?"
"It looks like it, but I've never seen anything like it …. Forget it, that's not important. Tell Nimf and Shaye to get ready. We're going straight to the Pacific Ocean."
Fangzheng burned the school of fish that had rushed into the city, but he knew that this was not the end. It seemed that he had to do it himself if he wanted to figure out what was going on there.
After that, the city was still in chaos.
Although the government sent the police and army to seal off the city in time, the school of fish was much more difficult to deal with than the zombies. More importantly, those who were hurt by the school of fish had a high chance of being infected, which made the situation extremely complicated. Under such circumstances, the hospital was naturally operating at full capacity.
As a psychiatrist, Fangzheng couldn't help much. Hence, he took a few turns before running home. Only when the sky turned dark did Fangzheng appear again. Then, under Nimufu's guidance, he came to the Pacific Ocean.
"To be honest, I'm afraid of the deep sea."
Fangzheng, who had transformed back into a dragon, lowered his head and looked at the deep sea below. He could not help but sigh. He did not like the sea at all, especially the deep sea. But Fangzheng also knew that this was his reaction as a human. In his current form, he was not one who was afraid of the deep sea, but one who was feared.
In fact, Fangzheng did not want this to happen, but unfortunately, he could not use magic in this world, and he did not have anything to explore the deep sea. So, Fangzheng simply transformed back into a dragon, grabbed Ryoko Asakura and Shaye, took a deep breath, and dived into the sea with a splash.
The whole sea was dark. Looking down from above, one could clearly see the clear blue water turning dark blue, then black — as if there was a bottomless abyss below.
"Nimf, are you sure this is the place?"
"Of course, Master."
Nimf was like a little fish circling around a whale, flying around Fangzheng's head.
"I can feel the distortion of the information flow here, so this is the place."
"Okay, let's see what's waiting for us down there."
Fangzheng flapped his wings forcefully, and soon, the dragon silently dived into the depths of the sea like a gigantic whale. Following that, it went all the way down.
Although Nimufu wasn't pointing in the direction of the Mariana Trench, it was obviously quite deep. More importantly, there were no shoals of fish in this sea region. The deeper they went, the quieter the surroundings became. There were only plants on the seabed ….
"Wait, what's that?"
Fangzheng's eyes widened. He stared at the seabed not far away. At first, he thought it was something like seaweed, but the closer he got, the more Fangzheng felt something was wrong. He could now confirm that it was not seaweed — it was more like blood vessels spreading on the seabed!
These blood vessels were abnormally thick. They were as big as the fuselage of a large passenger plane, densely covering the entire seabed and extending all the way. At that moment, Nimf turned her head and looked to the other side. Then, she suddenly screamed.
"Master, look over there!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Nimf's words, Fangzheng turned his head and looked to the other side. When he saw the scene over there, even Fangzheng could not help but be stunned.
