Strange Realm: Old Object Collector

Chapter 22 Cult
  After Chen Yi left, Chen Wang did several sets of push-ups on the bed.

After finishing, he stretched his muscles and massaged them for more than ten minutes to make sure it would not affect his condition tomorrow.

Immediately, he lay directly on the bed and fell asleep.

In another room, Chen Yi was sitting at the desk, stroking the bookmarks with her fingers, her eyes a little distracted.

After a long time, she shook her head slightly and stuffed the bookmark into the note.

Then I took out the test paper and started doing it.

Outside the door, Chen's father and Chen's mother turned on the TV and turned the sound to the minimum, talking quietly.

Everyone in this family has their own thoughts.

A dreamless night.

Chen Wang got up early in the morning, took a taxi directly to the old city after washing up.

Maybe it was because I got up too early, but I didn't meet Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Yi.

"Today's report. Recently, Tengla Company announced that it will soon launch the Huangshi Series 15 intelligent tutoring and learning robot. This new robot will be implanted with hz9000 chip, which will be more intelligent to meet students' emotional needs, check for missing learning and fill in vacancies, etc., to provide students with better learning Protect and protect..."

"It's so fucked." After listening to the news, the driver couldn't help cursing, "This robot costs millions each. It is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. How can there be fairness in the college entrance examination?"

Chen Wang listened to the driver's scolding and felt silent in his heart.

This world is still a little different from the world in the previous life.

In the previous life, some training institutions simply refused to get out of the way.

But in this world, training institutions and training robots are not illegal.

Therefore, this is why a city like Qingyu City with a population of more than two million.

No more than ten students enter first-class schools in a year.

You know, this first-class school was equivalent to 985 and 211 in its previous life.

This can be said to be a somewhat deformed world.

But it seems that under some kind of heavy pressure, it has always maintained a strange balance.

"Diwu...diwu..."

At this moment, the police siren sounded.

Chen Wang looked through the Eye of the Void from the air and saw police cars from the Public Security Bureau blocking Lao Nan Street.

In some places, cordons were also tied up.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wang immediately understood that the murder case yesterday had been discovered.

But these have nothing to do with him for the time being.

His main thing now is to find Yu and get those rats.

Immediately, Chen Wang contacted Yu and asked him to wait for him at the same place as yesterday.

After a while, the car stopped at the street corner.

After getting off the car, Chen Wang first went to the pet shop to check on the cat, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the calico cat's injury was improving.

If he had the chance, he would still take this calico cat back home and raise it.

After all, in a sense, the cat was kind to him.

After teasing the cat for a while, Chen Wang came to the old place and waited for the arrival of someone else.

He felt a little uneasy.

Now only one night has passed, and I don't know how many red-eyed mice the other party has caught.

At this time, he heard a sound of footsteps.

With a thought, Chen Wang inserted the Eye of Void into the air.

Immediately, he saw someone walking over carrying two iron cages.

The iron cages are so large that each one can hold an adult Alaskan dog.

Inside the iron cage were densely packed rats, with pairs of scarlet eyes looming among the gray-brown hair.

Seeing this mouse, Chen Wang suddenly became excited. There might be hundreds of these rats, and maybe he could open the second page of the book directly.

But soon, Chen Wang discovered something was wrong.

This person looked tall and thin, and looked like he was going to die at any moment after staying up too late. How could he carry these two cages by himself?

You know, each of these red-eyed mice is the size of a kitten, weighing almost one or two pounds each.

There are so many rats, and the iron cage weighs at least two hundred pounds.

But looking at Yu's appearance, it didn't look like it was very strenuous.

After a while, someone named Yu carried two rat cages and walked up to Chen Wang and said: "There are one hundred and twenty-six rats here. They are all red-eyed rats. Including the iron cages, there are two rats each. One hundred, a total of one thousand four hundred and sixty yuan."

Hearing Yu's words, Chen Wang's heart twitched slightly.

Working by myself only costs 2,500 yuan a month. This night cost me more than half a month's salary.

However, Chen Wang felt a little relieved when he looked at the mouse neighing at him.

But with more than a hundred mice around, he felt safe when he opened the second page of the book.

This money is well spent.

The root of the problem is that he still has too little money.

"Okay, you can deduct it from the deposit." Chen Wang nodded and said.

Yu nodded slightly, then paused and said: "Although your list has solved my current urgent need, I still advise you not to get involved in these things. The water here is very deep, and you can't grasp it. .”

Hearing his words, Chen Wang's heart moved. This person really seemed to know something.

However, he was not in a hurry to ask.

He had asked the other party once before. If he asked again, he might not be able to tell.

"My sister asked about Wang Lili." Chen Wang looked at Yu and said suddenly.

Hearing his words, Yu was shocked and stared at Chen Wang with bright eyes.

Chen Wang was staring at him like this, and he didn't know why he felt a touch of pressure in his heart.

It was as if what was in front of him was not a person, but a wild beast that chose people to eat.

"My sister said that Wang Lili committed suicide by jumping into the lake." Chen Wang suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Then he told Yu in detail what Chen Yi told him yesterday.

"Impossible!" After hearing Chen Wang's words, Yu said angrily like an angry lion: "Lili has grown up by the river since she was a child. How can she swim back and forth in the Liaohe River in one breath? Will you drown?"

Seeing him say this, Chen Wang was stunned and immediately frowned.

Some people can drown while swimming, but usually they either suffer from leg cramps or get their feet entangled in aquatic plants.

However, when he sorted out Wang Lili's body, he did not find these traces.

And this also shows that what Yu is thinking is probably right.

There may be something wrong with Wang Lili’s death.

"Huh...huh..." Yu breathed out, and after a while he calmed down. Then he looked at Chen Wang apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little emotional."

Having said this, he thought for a while and said: "I owe you a favor for this matter. If you can use me in the future, just ask."

"I just have something I want to ask you." Chen Wang thought for a while and said, "Why did you ask me yesterday not to have contact with the people who want these rats?"

Hearing his words, Yu frowned slightly, then hesitated for a moment and said: "Because these people are likely to be people related to cults. If you come into contact with them, you may go to jail. Even if I didn't guess If I’m wrong, the recent murders in the old city are all related to them.”

"Evil cult?" Chen Wang was startled when he heard this word.

In the memory of his predecessor, he had heard this word often.

In this world, for some reason, cults are more rampant than in previous lives, and the authorities are constantly suppressing them.

He used to be a little confused as to why these cults were so powerful in this world.

But when he thought of the faceless woman he saw yesterday, Chen Wang had some guesses in his mind.

These cults may be inextricably linked to some supernatural powers.
