This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 665 Strange Incident 2
A monster appeared.

This monster must be very vicious, right?
Fortunately, they will transform into human appearances, work and eat normally every day, obey the law, be civilized and harmonious, and have never had any bad behavior.No smoking, no drinking, or even swearing. When walking on a long road, you will help the elderly when you see them. The public carriage gives up seats for children, and you walk the dog with a leash.

How were these monsters exposed?
dream talk.

At this time, Zhou Li finally understood why the other party had a helpless and dumbfounding tone when he mentioned this matter. After all, although these monsters they called "phantoms" existed, they had no effect on the entire Tianshui City. Influence, even vaguely positive.After all, these phantoms are almost perfect existences except for talking in their dreams, and they are residents that any country can only dream of.

"But even that is not to be taken lightly."

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Qi said with some headaches: "These phantoms came quietly, and they are almost perfect memory replacements. If it weren't for the characteristics of talking in sleep, no one would be able to detect it. I also asked scholars to study it. The conclusion that can be drawn is that these phantoms are no different from ordinary people except for some differences in internal structure, and even the barriers will not exclude them."

"Then why not let them go?"

Jiang Qi froze for a moment, he frowned, his eyes flicked around, and then he continued: "Although they seem to be very peaceful and harmless at present, we can't guarantee that they won't create something that will surprise us someday in the future. A regrettable event. The Three Courts of the East have never had a real stable life, and the entropy spirit is still a sword hanging over our heads, and we must guard against all possibilities."

"So you closed Tianshui City, right?"

After hearing Zhou Li's question, Jiang Qi nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said helplessly: "You may not understand, but now the entire Tianshui City has been filled with phantom people. The original capacity of Tianshui City There are about 50 people, but now there are 75 people in Tianshui, and the number is still increasing. But even so, it is impossible for us to open the circulation.”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qi's eyes flashed a gloomy look, "The existence of phantoms is no longer something we can solve. In the final analysis, I am just a demigod, not a gift from a god. For this kind of existence that is almost at the level of laws I have no solution. In order to prevent phantoms from spreading to other cities, I can only order a complete blockade here."

"Then why not block the road between Tianshui and Shangjing? What if phantoms spread to Shangjing..."

As soon as she was about to ask, Elma saw Zhou Li's meaningful eyes, and suddenly, Xiao Baihua, who had been baptized by Zhou Li for so many years, understood why Jiang Qi did this.

Tianshui City can no longer support so many people.

The structure of the human family is like a vertical pipe, divided into several nodes.Tianshui and Shangjing are at the top of the pipeline, and their openness to each other will only affect each other, and will not pollute the entire family with phantoms.But now, Tianshui City's resources are on the verge of depletion. If it continues, Tianshui City will even break out of turmoil because of the resources. Therefore, Jiang Qi chose to communicate with Shangjing City.

"So, Shangjing has long been occupied by phantoms, right?"

"Yes."

Hearing Zhou Li's questioning tone, Jiang Qi didn't feel any embarrassment, but calmly responded, "An Quan may not have noticed it, but there is indeed a phantom in Shangjing."

"You didn't tell security?"

Zhou Li frowned, and asked in disbelief, "Did you not get in touch with him?"

"Master Brave..."

After a short pause, Jiang Qi sighed and said: "For us who are besieged by entropy spirits, gaining some knowledge is likely to suffer from invisible pollution. If it wasn't for the presence of the goddess of life, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to talk to you. Tell the information straight."

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a long thought.Needless to say, there is a high probability that these so-called phantoms are people who were inexplicably teleported into the Three Courts of the East from the outside world.But what Zhou Li didn't understand was what kind of power could make so many people appear in one city-state out of thin air, and with a trivial loophole, these people could be perfectly inserted into the original life track of these two cities inside.

"Can't do it."

Atalona on the side could easily see from Zhou Li's eyes "Can you fuck me?" She put down her teacup and said bluntly: "I'm a twelve quarter, not a wishing machine. A miracle of this level requires My main body can only be created here, and it will take a certain amount of time. According to what he said, this is not only something that can be done by the power of gods, it should be something that Gaia's main body can only achieve in its heyday."

Zhou Li could hear the deep meaning of Atalona's words, and he also knew that Gaia had lost even her body at this time, so it was impossible to create such a miracle.Immediately, Zhou Li fell into a brief moment of confusion. He began to wonder whether there was a god in this world that he had never understood, or a magical organization operating everything, but he quickly denied it.

Impossible, if such a mighty power really exists, human beings will never be allowed to save themselves or destroy themselves.

"Let's look at the phantom first."

Zhou Li stood up and said to Jiang Qi in front of him: "After all, we have a goddess of life here. If she can't even do this little thing well, she's really worthless."

"The gods have no need for food and drink."

After responding to Zhou Li without any pain, Atalona also said to Jiang Qi who was a little surprised: "Go, lead the way, let me see these phantoms."

For a moment, Jiang Qi, who didn't quite understand the way Zhou Li and Atalona got along with each other, was confused for a moment. After recovering, he quickly gave instructions to the soul of his court master.After receiving a message, Jiang Qi looked at Zhou Li, nodded and said, "Then please follow me, it happens that there is a phantom in my house."

On the way to Fuchu Bieyuan, Jiang Qi explained to everyone their policy on phantoms in detail.Since phantoms themselves have their own consciousness and emotions, phantoms also have their own civil rights in the human family.They are seen as outsiders, but not excluded.After discovering the identity of the phantom, they only need to go to the registration office to register, and there is no other difference.

"The main reason is that they are still human."

After pushing open a wooden door, Jiang Qi looked at the embroidered screen, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Jiang Cai, come out."

“Okay~~~”

Accompanied by a delicate response, a young girl in red gauze and embroidered shoes slowly walked out from behind the screen.This girl's face is delicate and delicate, her brows are four points similar to Jiang Qi's, although she doesn't have Jiang Qi's pair of cold sword eyes, but those golden eyes are also quite heroic.She looked at everyone, saluted, and said softly:
"My name is Jiang Cai. I'm brother Jiang Qi's step-sister. Now the family bothers me to do some manual work to repay my step-brother's kindness."

Jiang Cai's self-introduction is very simple, even a little straightforward, which makes people laugh even more.However, they could feel the rare sincerity in each other's tone, like...
Elma's stupidity is so clear to the extreme.

"Cai'er, this sister is a friend of my brother, she wants to check your body, is that okay?"

Jiang Qi seemed to have gotten used to Jiang Cai's simple and straightforward character, and asked directly without procrastinating or finding a reason.And Jiang Cai also reacted after being stunned for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Of course it's no problem. The matter of my brother-in-law is my matter to me, and it's a trivial matter."

Looking at the tall and beautiful Atalona, ​​Jiang Cai asked, "Are you going with this sister?"

"Yes."

It may be that people with bad brains like people with even worse brains. As an essential lunatic, Atalona has a lot of preferences for clear and stupid girls like Jiang Cai, and her tone softened a lot. "Don't worry, you won't feel anything."

"Then trouble you."

Just like that, Atalona, ​​like a strange uncle who abducted girls, pulled Jiang Cai, who had slanted eyebrows, into her hut.After the two left, Jiang Qi seemed to relax his tense nerves, and let out a long breath of relief.

"Hu~~"

Seemingly aware of Zhou Li and Elma's eyes, Jiang Qi turned around and said calmly, "You two can feel my nervousness?"

"I don't really know."

Zhou Li shook his head, his eyes fell on the window frame that was almost crushed by Jiang Qi, "But your window must know."

As if he had gotten used to it a long time ago, Jiang Qi didn't even look at it, and squeezed the window frame casually, and it returned to its original shape.He sighed inexplicably, and then said to the two: "I made you laugh, Sister Sister... oh..."

"So, what do you think of your sister?"

Zhou Li raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest, "Especially after finding out that she is a phantom, what do you think?"

"I thought I had a hard heart a long time ago."

The bitterness of the smile could not be concealed, Jiang Qi shook his head and sighed: "I have been fighting for six years, and I always thought that I had lost feelings long ago. When Cai appeared by my side, I really felt happy."

"Her liveliness, kindness, and her quirky but straightforward personality all make me feel that she is a treasure given to me by God. I have all the things about me and her when I was a child in my mind, together Playing in the water, kicking Cuju to my father's house together, stealing honey together, everything is really incomparable."

Squeezing her fingers, and slowly releasing them, Jiang Qi's voice was a little heavy, "But, I still found out. Or, she found out by herself."

Discover it yourself?

Seeing Zhou Li's doubts, Jiang Qi nodded and said, "That's right, Cai'er is the only one who knows that she is a phantom. I doubted it when the phantom was exposed before, but I dare not go I didn't dare to guess even if I asked for proof. However, one day, Cai'er found me and told me that she found out that she was a fake."

Jiang Cai is the only one who has seen through that she is a phantom.No one knows why, or how she did it.Not even she herself knew.

For Jiang Qi, that day was the most painful time in his life.

His parents died young, and he struggled to survive alone since he was a child, and finally grew up in a military camp.For Jiang Qi, he has never experienced family affection. It can be said that the appearance of Jiang Cai has brought glory to his originally imperfect life.However, he was suffocated when he learned that all of this was false, that those good memories were false.

"I dare not talk about these things with others."

As if talking about these things would make her feel better, Jiang Qi's originally irritable heart also calmed down, "These things will make others think that I am cowardly and indulge in illusions, but I know that if there is really If possible, Cai'er will be the key for us to crack the phantom. Because she is the only one who doesn't care about her phantom identity and is willing to fully cooperate with my research."

"All right."

At this moment, Atalona's voice appeared aside.She came out with a wooden paper, beside Cai Er who was a little nervous.She looked at Zhou Li and said, "I'm done testing."

"It can be said that Jiang Cai's body is no different from that of ordinary people, and even her soul is a perfect fit. The only difference is that her memory is more solid than that of ordinary people."

After a pause, Atalona explained: "That is to say, Jiang Cai's memory will be much better than ordinary people, even a little morbid. She will write down everything she has seen in detail. Her brain will automatically filter some meaningless memories and keep her own will, but she can't. So..."

Staring at Jiang Qi who was tightly clutching her sleeve beside Zhou Li, Atalona said, "If this continues, Jiang Cai will suddenly fall into confusion one day, and then she will be trapped in her own spiritual world. She will lose My own consciousness is dominated by those complicated and useless memories."

Jiang Qi was stunned when he heard the words, obviously, he didn't expect this to happen.He looked at Jiang Cai at the side, frowned slightly, and said, "Cai'er, why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought everyone was like this."

Jiang Cai was also a little dazed. If Atalona hadn't told her that this kind of almost abnormal memory is not available to humans, she might still think that it is an ability that everyone has.

"If my guess is correct, the same is true for other phantoms."

Atalona glanced at Jiang Cai, and said calmly: "Although they will appear suddenly, once a certain critical point is passed, their brains that want to remember every detail will stop, and finally they will completely lose their consciousness .”

"The city lord, congratulations, the phantom incident actually does not need to be intervened."

"In the end, phantom people will all die."
