Main World, Japan.
It had to be said that southern Japan was an unlucky place. Since Sei Itō came to this world, there had been three major incidents: the demon riot, the monster landing incident, and the outbreak of the new virus.
The first time, due to the lack of preparation, 26% of the population of Hell in southern Japan died in the mouths of monsters. Moreover, in the later migration process, due to various reasons, another 1% to 2% of the population died. This directly caused the already small population in the south to decrease again, almost reaching the point of being as vast as the ancient times.
Then, before they could settle down for long, the second monster landing incident followed. Fortunately, this time, the Ministry of Environment and the Cabinet were active. They carried out evacuation and transfer operations in advance, reducing casualties to a minimum. It could be said that a certain base of the population in the south was preserved.
However, the third time, he wasn't as lucky as the first time.
Now that the cause of the new disease had not been identified, and most people did not know that they might have been patients, they did not carry out proper isolation at all. They almost spread the virus throughout the south, and even spread it to the main island of Japan and the north with the movement of the people. So under a concentrated outbreak one day, southern Japan once again became a chaotic place, and as described in the novels of the end of the world, there were lunatics everywhere!
But looking at it from another perspective, it was thanks to the sparse population in the south. So the speed of the virus spread was not as crazy as in other densely populated areas, and it was still within a controllable range. It was an extremely ironic thing.
As for what became of those densely populated areas … Take the villages and towns around Shennongjia as an example. Because animal bites were never taken seriously, the nearby villagers did not realize what kind of terrible virus was ambushing in their bodies. So very directly, large patches of lunatic villages appeared one after another on the map around Shennongjia. With the early treatment personnel, the movement of ignorant villagers, and the running of infected animals, it spread to the surrounding big cities, turning more than half of the population in a city into lunatics who only knew how to bite!
Moreover, this situation would only worsen as the weather became hotter, and the resurgence of mosquitoes, rats, and ants would become even more terrifying. Because of insects. They had always been the main force in spreading diseases!
"Master, Master, this is bad!" Following the sudden gathering of countless light particles, Little Ling Meng appeared before Sei Itō, who was in the midst of meditating. She spoke with an anxious expression on her face.
"The patient with the new disease suddenly experienced a genetic breakdown, and the body mutated and died."
Little Ling Meng said. He reached out and pulled out an optical screen beside him, displaying a set of images. On the screen, a piece of minced meat that had basic human characteristics appeared on the screen. It was like a soft gelatin, slowly melting.
"Which case is this?" Sei Itō asked with a frown.
"This is the first case," Little Ling Meng replied. However, as soon as her voice fell, her expression immediately changed. She quickly reached out and tapped on the virtual screen, bringing up several surveillance images.
The contents of the images were none other than the images of human bodies suddenly collapsing.
After that, more and more images popped up one after another.
"Show me the information of these deceased people," Sei Itō ordered with an ugly expression.
"Yes."
As Little Ling Meng responded, her eyes glowed red. Then, her left hand pulled the edge of the optical screen in front of her, pulling it aside as if she was pulling a real object. At the same time, her right hand waved in front of her again, creating several optical screens, displaying the information of these deceased people.
For a moment. Sei Itō's room was like a futuristic world of science and technology, full of strange colors.
Sei Itō did not speak. While operating on the virtual optical screen, he used his brain power to scan the information that appeared on the screen at the speed of ten lines.
Blood type, race, age, gender, time of onset, midway changes, time of death and so on quickly flowed into Sei Itō's mind. He sorted out the information himself.
About two minutes later, Sei Itō narrowed his eyes, faintly finding a similarity in the information of these deceased people.
"Time …"
"The survival time of the first to the sixth patient is 28 days. The survival time of the seventh to the twelfth patient is 25 days. The survival time of the thirteenth to the nineteenth patient is 20 days. The survival time of the twentieth to the twenty-fourth patient is 12 days … "
"Little Ling Meng, bring up the list of new patients admitted to the city hospital on April 1st," Sei Itō ordered.
"Yes."
In an instant, the information of more than thirty people appeared on the optical screen.
"Bring up their surveillance images," Sei Itō, who had casually browsed through the information of these people, ordered again.
"Swoosh."
With the appearance of several new virtual screens, more than thirty small surveillance windows appeared on the screen. On the screen, these 30 plus people were all tightly bound to the bed with restraints that were used to restrain mental patients. However, they still couldn't suppress their desire to struggle. They struggled with all their might. If it weren't for the fact that the legs of these beds were specially fixed, it was entirely possible for them to overturn in their struggles. This showed how powerful these patients were.
Sei Itō stared at the surveillance images on the screen without blinking.
One minute …
Two minutes …
Three minutes …
More than an hour had passed, but there was no change in the number of cases on the screen. On the contrary, among the patients who were not under his surveillance, more than ten patients suffered from diseases and died.
"Master." Little Ling Meng called out hesitantly.
However, at this moment, the struggling movements of more than thirty patients on the screen stopped one after another. Then, their bodies shattered one after another. Mixed with filthy blood, they turned into irregular pieces of minced meat that spread out on the bed.
"Seven days!" Sei Itō said softly.
"Little Ling Meng, start recording the cases that were admitted to the hospital on the 2nd of April. The stipulated time is seven days. If any of the patients died earlier, inform me immediately." Inform me as soon as possible. "Then, Ito Sei ordered solemnly.
"Yes." Little Ling Meng replied loudly.
"Then, how do we deal with these things?" Little Ling Meng asked as she pointed at the minced meat on the screen.
"Inform the hospital to burn them," Sei Itō ordered without hesitation.
"Yes."
"Also, inform the hospital to send a functional robot to deal with them. Before the indoor air is refreshed, do not let anyone near the room where the patients died, "Sei Itō ordered after thinking for a moment.
"Yes."
Immediately, Little Ling Meng disappeared along with the room full of virtual light screens.
"Has the virus evolved? Or has the frequency of its jump increased? "Sei Itō frowned as he pondered. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the room. In the next moment, he appeared in the endless dark universe.
Sei Itō closed his eyes. Using hyperspace perception, he comprehended the changes in the universe through the frequency of the spatial laws.
"It really did accelerate." After a long while, Sei Itō discovered that compared to the last time, whether it was the frequency of the spatial laws or the dimensional gap, there were changes. He opened his eyes again and sighed softly.
Then, he fiercely turned his head and looked at the darkness in the distance with a sharp gaze.
He stared for about five or six seconds. Sei Itō slowly retracted his gaze and disappeared from the universe in a flash.
Earth, Japan, Kyoto.
Ito Sei's figure appeared in the former Imperial Capital, which had been turned into a demon palace.
"Your speed of progress is really shocking." Just as Sei Itō appeared in the backyard of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, a soft voice with infinite charm sounded in his ears.
Although it was not the first time he heard it, Sei Itō's heart still jumped slightly at this moment. It could be seen that the influence of this voice was strong.
"Your Excellency's cultivation is also improving very quickly." Sei Itō chuckled.
Sei Itō took two steps forward and turned around at the first corner. He was wearing a black dress with white pear flower patterns on the surface, but the chest position was not folded properly like a traditional noble lady's. Instead, she was like a ronin in the Edo period, exposing the midline of her chest and abdomen and the edges of her two full hemispheres to the air. Her long hair was like black pearls hanging down her legs. At this time, she was sitting in an ancient pavilion, leisurely holding a small sand cup and drinking warm tea. She was a beautiful woman, Kyuubi, who was sitting in an ancient pavilion, leisurely holding a small sand cup and drinking warm tea.
Next to her. A female demon wearing a plain white kimono, with a slender figure and a pale face, like a geisha's face that had been painted white, two dots of red adorned her eyebrows, and a head of black hair combed on top of her head like an ancient noble lady, forming two symmetrical rings, waited on the side.
Outside the pavilion, there were large blooming peonies and chrysanthemums, as well as some other unusually beautiful flowers, competing for beauty.
Sei Itō walked unhurriedly into the pavilion where Kyuubi was, as if he was visiting a friend's house. Then, under the gaze of Kyuubi's scarlet eyes, he sat down and looked at her across a stone table.
"Demon Girl, pour a cup of tea for the guest." Kyuubi picked up a small teacup, brought it to her mouth, and lightly ordered before drinking.
"Yes." The white-faced woman called Demon Girl responded. She picked up the teapot and poured some tea into a small cup next to her. Then she put down the teapot and handed the teacup to Sei Itō.
"Please have some tea."
Sei Itō took the teacup, put it in front of his nose, and gently sniffed it. Then his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head to take a sip.
"From China?" Sei Itō put down the teacup, looked up at Kyuubi, and asked.
Kyuubi faintly glanced at Sei Itō, but did not answer. Instead, she asked directly. "Why are you here this time?"
"It's about the new disease that has been trending out there recently. Have you received the news?" Sei Itō's expression slightly changed, turned his head to look at the flowers outside the pavilion, and whispered.
"I went to the universe to check it out. Although it's not too obvious, the space has indeed changed." Without waiting for Kyuubi to answer, Sei Itō continued to talk about other things.
Hearing this, Kyuubi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze landed on Sei Itō's face.
"That's why I suspect that this new disease is the precursor of the great calamity that you once told me about." Ito Sei looked back at the scarlet eyes of the Kyuubi without blinking. The more he looked at it, the more fascinating it was, and said softly.
"Tell me your purpose." Kyuubi said faintly.
"I want to know more about the great calamity." Sei Itō said in a deep voice.
What followed was about five minutes of silence. Neither Kyuubi nor Sei Itō spoke.
"This time, it will be a great calamity." At this moment, Kyuubi suddenly sighed faintly, and said softly with a floating tone.
Sei Itō, who was completely shocked by the words "great calamity", looked at Kyuubi with eyes full of shock!
What was a great calamity? As a native of China, Sei Itō had learned martial arts and read Taoist scriptures from the old man who was forced to return to the secular world during a special period. After reincarnating, he came into contact with the secret scriptures of cultivation. He knew very well that it was a synonym for the misery and suffering of the people! Almost every time a great calamity happened, whether it was in the sky or on the ground, the population would increase by more than half.
Moreover, the words this time came from the mouth of Kyuubi, who had experienced the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and escaped by some unknown means. The weight of the words "great calamity" would only be greater, and it might even be comparable to the Three Great Calamities of the Primordial Age! Combined with the information he had collected through various means, Sei Itō now had every reason to believe that if this calamity was not handled properly, the earth might really die!
"Are you sure?" Sei Itō frowned and asked.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Kyuubi sneered.
"Then what's the reason? A great calamity wouldn't happen for no reason, right? "Sei Itō, who was no longer entangled in the matter of whether the great calamity was real or not, asked instead.
"How much do you know about ancient history?" Kyuubi asked in return.
"Which period?" Sei Itō was surprised.
"The Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Xia."
"Uh … I don't know." Sei Itō was stunned when he heard this, and then he shook his head with a bitter smile.
He didn't know anything about it. It couldn't be helped. After all, he wasn't from that period. Naturally, he didn't know what happened during that period other than myths and legends. After all, the period of the Three Sovereigns alone spanned nearly ten thousand years of history, not to mention the period of the Five Emperors more than a thousand years and the period of Xia more than six hundred years. Other than the group of experts who achieved Dao during the period of the Three Sovereigns, not many people knew about the history of this period.
"Don't tell me that the great calamity this time was caused by that period?" Sei Itō, who had recovered from his shock, said with a speechless expression.
