The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

[You didn't want to get involved too much with the authorities, so you pretended to be stupid and tried to get away with it. Unexpectedly, the other party showed you the video of you dealing with the strange "immobility" on the rooftop. You cursed the idiot who played with the drone a hundred times in your heart. Finally, facing the evidence produced by the Minister of Special Strategy Department, you could only make up a story to get away with it as much as possible, but you also became the "surveillance" target of the Special Strategy Department.]

[On January 2024, 1, you noticed some people moving strangely in the neighborhood. Just one day later, the Special Policy Department sent people into the neighborhood to monitor you. You were very disgusted with this behavior, so you called your female boss and asked for a few days off to rest at home.]

[You learned from your female boss that the receptionist who was involved in the strange "immobility" incident with you the day before yesterday also took a long vacation. However, you did not take it to heart, but thought about how to get rid of those guys in the Special Policy Department. ]

[On January 2024, 1, you worked hard every day to save up some system points for a lottery, but ended up getting a lot of instant noodles and daily necessities. You were so angry that you asked the system to change its name to "Tengu Supermarket". You were angry, but then you thought about the four-year time difference of the system. If these resources were to be drawn in the doomsday world four years later, they would not be all garbage.]

[On January 2028, 1, with the double bonus of the card drawing divine song and the early morning toilet buff, you drew a special weapon in one single draw - the "indestructible" butcher knife. You conducted various tests on the butcher knife and found that it not only cuts through iron like mud, but also lives up to its name, indestructible.]

[January 2028, 1. This is the third day you have been "hiding" at home. Unfortunately, you find that those who are monitoring you are still there. Just when you are having a headache about how to get rid of the entanglement of the Special Policy Department, a strange incident suddenly occurred in the neighborhood next door, and the entire neighborhood was blocked.]

[That night you saw the police come to communicate with the agent who was monitoring you, and soon they left the community and went to the blockade area of ​​the neighboring community. Although you know that it is not a wise move to leave the community at this time, as the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, and you are very curious about what happened in the neighboring community. ]

[With your familiarity with both communities, you successfully entered the community from the backyard. Strangely, the "blockade" you saw through the window at home disappeared after entering the neighboring community. Not to mention the patrol team and police officers, you didn't even see a living person.]

[You realize that you are probably caught up in some kind of supernatural incident, so for safety's sake you sneak into a nearby building. You do know a few people in this neighborhood, and the one you are most familiar with is probably Lao Wang, the security guard in Xingfu Community. You always chat with him when you see him on your way to and from get off work, but you haven't seen him recently, so you thought that since you're here anyway, you might as well chat with these "grandpas," after all, the intelligence network of grandpas and aunts is still very trustworthy.]

[Strangely, when you arrived at Lao Wang's door and knocked for a long time, there was no response from inside the house, but instead there was a knock on the other side of the door.]

[You may be curious, but after the system repeatedly warned you that you would die, you finally chose to leave Lao Wang's house and return to Xingfu Community along the same route.]

[Who would have thought that when you walked through the backyard, you found that you did not return to the Xingfu Community, but came out from the other end of the community where Lao Wang lived. It was as if the entire community had become a closed loop. If you entered from Gate A, you would come out from Gate B, and if you entered from Gate B, you would come out from Gate A. You could not leave this community.]

[With the help of the "Silent" effect, you decide to return to Lao Wang's house to find out what's going on. Maybe you can find a way to leave.]

[When you return to the building where Lao Wang lives, you find that the chaos in the entire community has become more and more serious, as if the entire time and space have fallen into chaos. You can't get out at all, and you can't find the area you want to find. ]

[January 2024, 1, this is the seventh day you are trapped in Lao Wang's community. During these seven days, you have been looking for an exit in three buildings, but unfortunately you have no clue. The system can only mark some dangerous areas, but it can't help you at all. ]

[And starting from the fifth day of being trapped, some strange monsters began to appear in the community. They were as big as adult lions and tigers, and were covered with a layer of black mud. According to the system's prompts, these were first-level "weird".]

[You used the "Slaughter Knife" and the "Silent" effect to successfully hunt down a Level 1 monster with great effort, and sold it to the system in exchange for system point extraction rewards. At this moment, you finally realized that the resources extracted by the system are too suitable for the doomsday world. ]

[January 2024, 1. This is the second week that you have been trapped in Lao Wang's community. As more and more low-level weirdnesses gradually appear, you find that this space has become more and more chaotic. It is no longer just a matter of A in and B out, B in and A out. The entire community has become a ball of wool that has been randomly crumpled into a ball. You enter through a door, but you can't guess where the exit is...]

[It could be a rooftop, an underground parking lot, or even a sewage pipe... But no matter where it appears, it will definitely return to the community, not anywhere else.]

[After being trapped for two weeks, it was as if you were the only one in the entire community. You didn’t see a single living person for more than ten days. The objects in the houses of the residents in the community were also very strange, as if they had been abandoned for more than ten years. They were old and rusty, and the edible things were rotten beyond recognition.]

[You are very glad that you have become the protagonist of "Carrying a Small Store with You", and you have a system with functions similar to that of a small store, and you barely survive by relying on the system points obtained by hunting 1st-level weirdness. ]

[January 2024, 1. This is the third week that you have been trapped in Lao Wang's community. You have completely accepted the reality. "Since I'm here, I'm here." Anyway, with the "shop" behind you, the community is still "spawning monsters" endlessly. So you simply become the Sword God of the Happy Community. With the mentality of "ten years of hard work to sharpen a sword", you slowly hunt monsters here, save up a few hundred thousand system points first, and then find a way to go out and squander them.]

[February 2024, 2. It has been a month and a half since you were trapped in Lao Wang's neighborhood. You have nothing to do and you are looking at the nearly 22 system points you have saved. In addition, your instant noodles are almost finished, so you want to draw some resources. Who knows that you draw a black eyeball, which the system calls - "Strange Eye (Invisible)".]

[Through this strange eye, you can temporarily make the target lose vision. With the help of "Silent" and the butcher knife "Indestructible", it will be easier for you to hunt level 1 strangeness. ]

[On March 2024, 3, you accidentally bumped into the room where Lao Wang lived in the chaotic space. You found several dead bones in the room. You originally couldn't understand why this community had been abandoned for more than ten years, but seeing these dead bones, you seemed to understand.]

[Just when you were looking for clues in Lao Wang's house, a muscle monster with two heads and four arms suddenly jumped out and attacked you. With the help of "Strange Eyes (invisible)", you fought with this weirdo who looked exactly like a muscle monster in a neighborhood with the same name for three hundred rounds. After ignoring the system's warnings again and again, you consumed several spirit apples and strange energy potions and successfully killed it.]

[As you killed this two-headed, four-armed monster, you discovered that the head you severed was very serious. Turning it over, you discovered that it was actually Old Wang, who was a dozen years younger? ]

[Before you could recover from your surprise, several well-equipped and fully armed soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside and surrounded you. The leader took off his mask and it turned out to be the agent of the Special Policy Department of Rong City who was sent to monitor you. He asked you to hand over your weapons and equipment and surrender. You were already very angry because you had been trapped in the community for more than two months, so you immediately grabbed Lao Wang's head and smashed it. ] [While you were fighting with the agent, you took the opportunity to pull off his grenade and flash bomb and detonated them, and jumped out of the window in the chaos. You thought you would appear from another place like before, but you landed safely in the yard and were surrounded by a group of armed soldiers. ]

[At this time, Deng Yuqi, the director of the Special Policy Department, who you had met once before, came to you and briefly asked about your situation. You told Deng Yuqi that you "accidentally" entered the community and were trapped for several months. In her surprised eyes, you wanted to find an opportunity to take her as a hostage and escape from here, but... you were easily knocked out by her. Only then did you realize that this girl's fighting power was even higher than the two-headed four-armed monster before.]

[You were taken back to the Special Policy Department by Deng Yuqi. She did not confiscate your weapons and equipment. She just asked you about your experience of being trapped in the community for the past few months, and told you about the changes in Rong City in the past few months.]

[Deng Yuqi tells you that the reason you are trapped in the community is because this area is shrouded by a mysterious force called "Strange Space". As long as the strangeness of the strange space is maintained and you are not killed, this strange area will continue to exist.]

[After the strange domain appeared, the Special Strategy Department sent two teams into the strange domain, but they both came out from the other direction. In short... they couldn't get in at all. Although Deng Yuqi had asked for help from the headquarters, the agents and researchers sent by the headquarters were also helpless against this bizarre strange domain.]

[The strange domain continued to expand, and soon engulfed the neighboring Xingfu community and the surrounding blocks, so the entire block was blocked. ]

[Two months passed in a flash, and the researcher who was monitoring the reaction of the strange energy found that the strange energy in the community had fluctuated. Deng Yuqi then brought two teams to check, and unexpectedly found that the strange space had been released. However, he did not expect that Shen Ge had made a mistake and actually solved the strangeness that maintained the strange area. ]

[But when hearing Shen Ge's description of the "weird" creature with two heads and four arms, the companions who interrogated Deng Yuqi together obviously did not believe your words, because the rejection of humans by the weird energy meant that humans could not become weird, so it was impossible for a human-shaped weird to appear.]

[You said that the monster you killed was in that room, and one of the two heads was Lao Wang's head. But Deng Yuqi told you that the Special Strategy Department did not find any humanoid monsters in the room, and there were no signs of fighting.]

[You don't believe Deng Yuqi's words, and go to the scene with him. You find that this place looks very new, not like the abandoned appearance of more than ten years when fighting with the two-headed four-armed in the strange space. You think of the agents and soldiers who appeared after killing the two-headed four-armed, and tell Deng Yuqi about it.]

[However, Deng Yuqi found that there was no information about the agent after checking. No other team entered the blockade area except her that day, and——]

【She never sent anyone to monitor you.】

Seeing this, perhaps "Shen Ge" in the fragment 5 world in the [Log] still doesn't understand, but Shen Ge has already seen the clues.

Considering what the Rongshan Mental Hospital had done to him in the past, it was very likely that his successful "escape" from the Rongshan Mental Hospital was part of those people's plan.

Therefore, during the time he lived in Xingfu Community, the people who monitored him were not Deng Yuqi's people, but most likely people sent by the Monster Association.

It's just that these people happened to be seen by Lao Wang when they were carrying out a certain action, and by accident Lao Wang became a weirdo.

The difference is that Shen Ge in "reality" did not find anyone monitoring him, or in other words, no one was monitoring him in "reality", so he was not disgusted by the behavior of the Special Policy Department. In order to solve the problem in his hands as soon as possible, take the money and leave, he chose to continue working to study the system to deal with Doomsday.

As a result, he encountered strange events again and again, and became familiar with Deng Yuqi. Thinking that he could do things better with the identity and background of the Special Initiatives Department, he joined the Department.

Perhaps because of the Special Initiatives Department and Deng Yuqi, the Monster Association changed its plan and did not let Lao Wang trigger a strange space in the community. Instead, they took him back for research.

However, in the [Log], Shen Ge did not join the Special Initiatives Department, so the Monster Association did not change its plan due to the influence of the Special Initiatives Department, which led to Lao Wang triggering the strange events.

From here on, the two worlds began to change dramatically.

[Deng Yuqi thinks highly of your ability and invites you to join the Special Strategy Department, but you think that the incident between Lao Wang and the strange space in the community is very strange, and you always feel that it is closely related to the Special Strategy Department. Maybe the agent who is monitoring you is a hidden chess piece of the Special Strategy Department, so you politely rejected Deng Yuqi's invitation and said that you would consider it.]

[Deng Yuqi was very surprised that you rejected the invitation, and she once again explained to you the convenience and benefits of becoming an agent, but you still said you wanted to consider it, so she didn't force you anymore, but mentioned that because of this incident, it is very likely that you have been targeted by a mysterious organization, so she plans to arrange a few agents to "protect" you. ]

[It's called "protection", but it's actually "surveillance", you know, but due to the current complicated situation, you can only agree to Deng Yuqi's arrangement, and because the entire block is blocked, you can't go back to Xingfu Community, so Deng Yuqi found a hotel near the city center to accommodate you. ]

[You are planning your future actions in the hotel. After the apocalypse, the least valuable thing is money. At that time, money will definitely become a pile of waste paper. You decide to use the money in your hand to purchase some resources. Unfortunately, you have been trapped in the strange space for several months, and the Happy Community has also been affected, making it impossible to sell your property. ]

[You thought that the company still had some final payments for several orders, so you contacted your female supervisor. During the conversation, you accidentally learned that something had happened in the neighborhood of the receptionist.] (End of this chapter)
