Chapter 489: Re-entering the Styx(1/3)
When Xia Ren heard the cause of the deaths of the two, he paused and used the excuse to ask the old doctor to leave first, and then tried to use ice enslavement on the two bodies.
But the enslaved corpse is like two stiff puppets, not even a little bit of their own consciousness, let alone any information to Xia Ren.
"What's going on?"
This was the first time he had encountered this situation.
Lily stood on tiptoe, stretched out her little hand and poked two corpses covered with frost, and said in a tender voice:
“Empty.”
Empty?
Xia Ren wrinkled, he remembered that Lily said this when she was in Dongpu City and Esserra City.
The official in Ethiopia who jumped off the building was later confirmed to be a subordinate of the Immortal Church.
The patient No. 3 infected with atypical phobia in Dongpu City.
The flower in the other party's dream lost its core, and the influence reflected in reality is that her consciousness is completely zombie and she becomes a vegetable.
Flower cores may represent things like "soul".
The doctor also mentioned to himself that the soul is the cornerstone of maintaining the form of a living person.
Could it be that the souls of these two corpses have also disappeared?
...
...
"Do you have any clues?"
After leaving the hospital, Qin Yun asked.
Xia Ren shook his head: "Not yet, but similar cases have occurred in most of Maryland, and most of the victims have one thing in common, that is, there are burns to varying degrees on the bodies, but there is no trace of burning at the scene. It should be a different faction, or someone like Liu Huai is committing the crime."
“Where will we go next?”
Qin Yun asked again.
Where to go next...
Xia Ren pondered for a while.
There have been quite a lot of things happening recently.
On the one hand, the Announcement Mirror appeared around him more than once, which was very provocative. According to the information he had already obtained, it was always contained in Zhao Mingyue's home before the Announcement Mirror escaped. And unlike other items that had been contained by him, the Announcement Mirror showed abnormal activity.
The answer is that the mirror is not like a hanging rope and a rootless water, and it can be communicated clearly in words. In other words, as long as you catch it, Xia Ren may be able to ask a lot of information about his past, including Zhao Mingyue's.
Xia Ren wants to know Zhao Mingyue so much.
Is Zhao Mingyue seen on the afternoon of the hospital resuscitation true? Why was she led her to that room? What is her identity and what is her relationship with herself? Why are there two of them on the property certificate?
Also, where is she now?
Where is that green river?
It can be said that only by finding Zhao Mingyue can Xia Ren completely know what happened to him and the truth can be revealed.
At the same time, the wish mirror is also one of the seven escaped containment objects that need to be captured in the system mission. If you find the other party, you can obtain an ancient dream fragment and controllable distortion.
After experiencing the dangerous journey at the foundation headquarters, Xia Ren deeply realized the importance of his own strength in this absurd world. For him, Gu Meng is the lowest risk and greatest benefit to improve his strength, no doubt about it.
Based on various considerations, the Announcement Mirror is an unforgivable goal for Xia Ren.
But on the other hand, judging from the various performances of the real estate agent, this B-level investigator with a goatee seemed a bit unusual. He seemed to know a lot about himself. From the fact that he quietly stuffed the note at the bottom of the cup when he was in Dongpu City and guided himself to the place where his parents had an accident, he could see some clues.
If you find a real estate agent, you can also answer some of Xia Ren's current doubts.
The question now is where should he focus on.
Without hesitation, Xia Ren made a decision.
First find the real estate agent to ask the question clearly.
He had three reasons for making this decision.
First, compared with the elusive nature of the answer to the wish mirror, the real estate agent is an investigator of the foundation and there is no sign of betrayal of the foundation, so it is obviously easier to find a little.
Second, the real estate agent is investigating the recent serial murder case. Xia Ren has seen the body and believes that it is most likely that it was done by an unknown alien faction. Even if the real estate agent is not found in the end, if the alien faction can follow the clues and find out the alien faction behind the murder case, there is a chance that the secret code held by the alien faction will be obtained.
His "Xuanjun Seven Secret Sutra" Chapter 1 of the Immortal Sand Resurrection?, with only 10% of the progress left, you can completely unlock it. Reading a secret book should be able to meet the requirements.
In other words, even if he fails to find a real estate agent in the end, Xia Ren will not be rewarded at all.
As for the third reason, it is actually not that complicated. It is simply because Xia Ren's intuition tells him that the possibility of a real estate agent is more important than the wish mirror.
Since the decision has been made, the remaining question is how to find a real estate agent.
Originally, Xia Ren's level surpassed that of the other party, and he could use the foundation to directly locate the real estate agency through a black mobile phone. However, after the actual operation, Xia Ren was surprised to find that the real estate agency who always performed relatively low-key actually won the legendary title at a level B, which made him unable to locate the other party and could only search in the clumsy way.
"Since he is investigating the different faction, as long as I do the same thing with him, I might meet."
Of course, this is based on the situation where the real estate agent does not deliberately avoid him. If he does not want to see him, it will be difficult for Xia Ren to find him.
“Nothing is simple…”
Xia Ren sighed.
They stood on the street in front of the hospital. Most of the people coming and going around were blonde and blue-eyed, with distinctive Western characteristics, and black hair only accounted for less than 30% of them.
The Supreme Alliance Government has been established for more than a thousand years. More than 500 years ago, the last independent country on Blue Star disappeared and the great unification was completely completed.
Although it has been so many years of integration, the living habits developed by people from various states since ancient times are still difficult to change, so there are still a few who choose to settle in other states.
"Do we want to find a place to live first?"
Qin Yun suggested.
Xia Ren nodded, bent down and hugged Lily in his arms, allowing her to sit on his arms.
Xia Ren likes to hug Lily, especially when he feels anxious, the touch on Lily can always make him relax involuntarily.
They were about to leave, when Xia Ren suddenly noticed a trace of polluted aura.
This polluted atmosphere is not strong, because it is too weak and even difficult to detect. Even Xia Ren can feel it intermittently, very much like... a patient infected with atypical phobia.
"Did there have been cases in Sori City?"
He stood there and his eyes began to search the streets.
This is the gate of the hospital, so the other party may be seeing a doctor, and maybe it is a patient with explicit symptoms.
Soon, Xia Ren locked in a woman in her thirties, and she had already walked to the outpatient building.
The woman is thin, her walking movements are a little stiff, and her body movements are very inconsistent, a bit like a patient suffering from the sequelae of stroke, but she is still very young and shouldn't have had a stroke at this age.
However, patients with dominant symptoms of atypical phobia will have partial brain loss, so they usually affect neurological function. This woman's symptoms are likely to be affected by this kind of influence.
"What's wrong with that person?"
Qin Yun followed Xia Ren's gaze and did not feel anything unusual.
Xia Ren briefly talked about his guess with Qin Yun, and then walked towards the woman.
The other party stood in front of the outpatient building and suddenly stopped, as if in a daze.
Xia Ren walked behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
"Hello."
The woman seemed to have not heard it and had no response.
Xia Ren was about to go around her and passed by the side of her body, when he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eyes that a small burning mark was revealed under the woman's neck.
"This is……"
Xia Ren subconsciously felt something was wrong.
Just as he became alert, the polluted aura on the woman's body suddenly increased. If the pollution she emitted before was a small flame that could be extinguished at any time, then at this moment, the small flame seemed to ignite the gas station!
At the same time, the woman's body also changed rapidly.
Her finger joints were filled with air and became swollen, like a tree root exposed on the surface, in the shape of a nodule, with nails peeling off and falling on the ground, but no drop of blood flowed out.
The originally thin body suddenly expanded, stretching her clothes so tightly that the woman opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened. She looked up at the sky in a strange posture, and gasped in her throat before the beast was dying.
Her long hair grew wildly, and became several times thicker in a short period of time, like a long black snake entangled together, with a fragile texture like foam on the surface.
However, in just one second, the woman was twisted from a human to an indescribable terrifying monster.
Her whole body was filled with filth and obsceneness, because it happened so suddenly that the people around her had just begun to notice the situation here, and they had not yet had any fear.
"You must not let her continue!"
Xia Ren reacted and stretched out his tentacles to completely wrap the other party.
But just as his tentacles were about to touch the other person, the changes in the woman's body finally came to the final stage.
Her hands gathered over her shoulders, and her ten fingers extended into irregular shapes, which looked like the branches of a plant to some extent.
At the end of the finger, sarcoma covered with cracks surged out, as if it could explode at any time.
To be continued...
