Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Adele, did you hear it? If you don't answer, I'll assume you heard it..."

After listening carefully for a while, after Adele ignored Qiuye's somewhat noisy voice, she finally distinguished a strange and discordant sound from the background sound of the call.

'Paz... paz...'

It seemed to be the sound made by some kind of mollusk when it was crawling. This sound sounded very clear. If you ignore the noisy voice of Qiu Ye, this sound is still easy to distinguish.

what is this?

Adele seemed a little confused. This sound could be captured by the microphone and clearly transmitted to her ears, which meant that the sound from Qiuye's side was more obvious. The thing that could make such a noise would definitely not be small. The only thing Adele could think of was the Source Stone Worm that was severely infected by the Source Stone and had grown to a huge size.

But there is no such creature as the Origin Stone Worm in this world, and who would stay next to a giant Origin Stone Worm?You must know that the Origin Stone Worm is not a harmless creature. An adult without training and without any weapons and equipment is not even an opponent of an Origin Stone Worm.

Where are the autumn leaves?Did the Witch King just want her to pay attention to this?So Adele couldn't help but ask,

[Teacher, I heard some strange sounds, a bit like origin stone insects. 】

[Be patient and don’t rush. 】Witch King said.

Compared with when he first woke up, the Witch King's condition has improved a lot, and even his speech has become fluent.

After hearing this, Adele continued to remain silent.

While Adele remained silent, Qiuye kept explaining what happened yesterday.

Why did I accidentally lose my mobile phone yesterday? I was afraid of being scolded by my parents. I just found a place to charge it... In short, Qiuye found a completely logical explanation for their lack of contact all day today.

It's just... Adele heard some other sounds, as if someone was grinding their teeth next to Qiuye.

"By the way, are you free today? It's a pity that you were not here yesterday... Let's get together again today, shall we? We are in XXX now. Come over quickly. Qianjing is also looking forward to it... We Are they friends?"

Adele opened her mouth slightly, Qiuye's words "Let's be friends" touched a certain place in her heart.

Even though the Witch King's warning still echoed in her ears, Adele couldn't help but want to speak. After all, there were only a few people who could always remain rational.

However, just when Adele was about to speak, she suddenly heard Qiuye say again, "We are friends, right?"

"Are we friends?"

"Are we friends?"

……

Like a broken machine, Qiuye repeated that sentence over and over again, faster and faster each time. The original emotional voice gradually became mechanical, and finally turned into a series of vague words. Whisper.

This immediately made Adele freeze on the spot, and the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat, and a chill came out of her heart.

At the same time, the sound of the friction of a hard object became harsh. Adele could almost imagine something scratching the phone with its nails.

Without thinking at all, Adele instinctively hung up the phone, but almost at the moment she hung up, Qiuye's number called back relentlessly, and the familiar ringtone fell on Adele's ears. But it seemed a little scary.

Adele originally wanted to add Qiuye's number to the blacklist, but her trembling fingers were a bit unruly and unable to complete this somewhat complicated operation.

She could only press the power button of her phone hard until the phone was completely turned off and the damn ringing finally stopped.

Looking at the completely black phone screen, Adele asked in a trembling voice, "Teacher...did you hear it? What was that just now?"

That voice was undoubtedly Akiba's, but why did it become like that in the end?It didn't sound like a human being could make it at all.

[There are many possibilities, but they can’t be your friends anyway. 】

[This world is very dangerous...Don't trust anyone else except Li Ang...I'm going to rest...Be careful...]

Afterwards, the Witch King fell into silence again, leaving only Adele standing there blankly holding the turned off mobile phone.

"...we are friends."

In a corner of Sagazaki City, a strange voice suddenly sounded in a dark room.

Vaguely, it seemed that a human-shaped object could be seen lying in the corner of the room, and a car key stained with blood and light yellow grease fell not far away.

With a squirming sound, the humanoid object seemed to be dragged deeper into the darkness by something, and then the place fell into deathly silence again.

Chapter 62 Unlucky Ghost

Listening to the rumble of the engine in his ears, Linn's heart that almost jumped out of his chest gradually calmed down.

At this time, they had finished their investigation of Kitano House. After sealing the entrance to the basement, they withdrew from there.

On the way back to the city, as the traffic around him increased, Linn felt that his almost coagulated blood was starting to flow again.

Sitting in the passenger seat, after her emotions stabilized, Linn asked, "What are we going to do next? Are we going to get some diving equipment to explore the depths of the pool?"

"No," Li Ang shook his head, "Honestly, that's quite stupid."

Li Ang did have such a plan at the beginning, but if he thought about it carefully, if they were attacked by those things underwater, wouldn't they even have room to dodge?After thinking for a while, Li Ang had a better idea.

"We went to the city hall and asked them for the design drawings of the sewer system. Since we have determined that there is a sewer connected there, we will start from the sewer. The sewer headquarters is underwater and is more suitable for action."

After hearing what Li Ang said, Lin En immediately took the matter upon himself, "Then leave it to me. The city hall is not far from my home. I can drop by there tomorrow."

The design drawings of the sewer system are not confidential, and it is not difficult for him to obtain them as a police officer.

Seeing that Lin En was so active, Li Ang did not object, shrugged and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"By the way, remember not to go to the police station tomorrow. Our actions today may have alerted each other, and the police station is no longer safe." Li Ang suddenly remembered this matter, and told Lin En, "Tomorrow you You can come to me directly where I live, or I can go to you."

With that said, Li Ang told him the address of Adele's house, "By the way, I live with my fiancée now. If you can't find me, tell her the situation first. She is also involved in this case. Associated Personnel.”

"Huh? You actually have a fiancée?" Linn couldn't help but raise his voice.

"……is there any problem?"

"No...it's nothing, just a little surprised..."

Amid the conversation between the two, Li Ang quickly sent Lin En to his home.

"Then, let's stop here today and see you tomorrow."

"came back……"

After slamming the door shut, the hungry Linn finally returned home.

The house that Lin En lives in is not big. It is considered a relatively standard single apartment, but it is enough for an unmarried person like him. If the area is too large, it will be difficult to clean.

Before she could change out of her dirty clothes, Linn couldn't wait to rush to the refrigerator.

After rummaging through the refrigerator, Linn only found a few packages of instant noodles and most of a sandwich that had been there for who knows how long.

Linn habitually took out a pack of instant noodles. For a policeman like him who often worked overtime, it was good as long as he had something to eat. Steaming instant noodles was already a pretty good delicacy.

Just as he was holding a hot water kettle and preparing to boil a pot of water, Linn couldn't help but fall silent as he looked at the tap water gurgling out of the faucet.

He silently tightened the faucet and crushed the instant noodles into pieces.

There are still some unfinished drinks in the refrigerator, and with the sandwich, I can have a full meal even if I scrape by.

Ever since he learned about the contamination, Lin En could never be the same as before, stuffing all kinds of food into his stomach... Perhaps, only those things that were produced six months ago can he feel at ease. Eat it.

After deciding to go to the Linqi Food Store to do some shopping tomorrow, Linn quickly finished today's dinner and fell on the bed.

Although it was not yet night, it still could not stop the overwhelming sleepiness. As soon as Lin En's body touched the bed, he instantly lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the world outside was still dark.

After a few hours of deep sleep, Linn had generally regained his energy. He looked at the time displayed on his phone. It was now three in the morning, and there were still several hours until dawn.

After adjusting his posture slightly, taking out the incendiary bombs in his pocket that made him feel stomachache and putting them aside, Linn planned to sleep for a while.

But when he closed his eyes this time, he couldn't fall asleep.

Perhaps because he had recovered some of his energy, as soon as Lin closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see that weird fish appearing in front of him again.

He could also imagine a woman with pale skin and a severely deformed body emerging from the belly of the fish.

Lin's eyes suddenly widened and he stared blankly at the ceiling, suddenly no longer feeling sleepy.

"Damn thing..." After muttering under his breath, Linn got up from the bed helplessly.

It seemed that today's experience had indeed left an indelible psychological shadow on him. Unless he was so tired that he was unconscious like today, he would not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

It's a pity that the best bottles of wine at home have been finished, otherwise Linn could still try to numb himself with alcohol.

Just when Lin En was lying on the bed and thinking wildly, a strange sound suddenly came from his ears.

There was a gurgling sound, like bubbles in the water, followed by a smell like a toilet.

Could this be the water coming up?

Wait... water rising in the sewer?Lin En froze, and he suddenly realized that the fish raised by Beiye... seemed to have entered the sewer.

"Crack...knock..."

Amidst the bubbling sound, Linn clearly heard the sound of broken porcelain.

Turning to look in the direction of the sound, a large amount of fecal water mixed with yellow and white stuff poured out of the toilet, emitting a disgusting stench.

Of course, what frightened Linn the most was the dark cracks that were spreading on the white porcelain toilet, as if something was trying to get out of it.

The tail whipping out of the toilet already indicated what he was about to face.

"No way...are you really targeting me?" Lin En said with a wry smile.

Why was he targeted again?Why is he always so unlucky?

One step behind him is a window more than 20 meters high from the ground.

Lin suddenly regretted renting the apartment on such a high floor.

Chapter 63 Sources

After placing Lin En near his home, Li Ang drove slowly towards Sagazaki University.

Adele sent him a text message not long ago, saying that she was going to try to contact Professor Valk today, so Leon needed to pick her up at Sagazaki University.

While driving, Li Ang also turned on the car radio and adjusted the frequency at will to see if the mysterious man had any new news to convey to him.

At the same time, Li Ang's perception was constantly scanning the pedestrians on the roadside, trying to find anything strange about them.

The other party asked Li Ang to find the root of everything. Li Ang has found it now, but he just doesn't know what the other party wants Li Ang to do next.

If Li Ang is asked to help get rid of the unknown family member, then Li Ang has no objection. From another perspective, the family member is trapped in this world.

Erosion...infection...pollution...corruption...parasitism...all that guy has mastered are abilities that challenge the bottom line of mankind. You can get a glimpse of it from the situation in the alley and the strange fish. If you have the chance, If so, Li Ang doesn't want to let such a dangerous person return to Terra.

If Li Ang's inference is not wrong, the family member had entered this world half a year ago. It is not known whether it was involved accidentally or entered this world with a certain purpose. However, during this period Here, it has been trying to pollute the world.

At the beginning, it couldn't even completely contaminate ordinary fish. Once out of its control, it would quickly return to normal, let alone humans with more complex life forms. Poor Kitano became its test subject.

At that time, the gods who maintained the world should still have the upper hand. Although they could not get rid of this scourge, they could still protect the people of this world from being affected.

But after Kitano died, the situation between the two parties was reversed. The gods of this world could not even communicate with others through normal means, and the creatures contaminated by that dependent could even exist in this world for a long time.

After using his senses to conduct some exploration, Li Ang found something strange among the pedestrians on the road - some foreign matter had been mixed into the blood flowing in their bodies.

It is a very small substance, perhaps smaller than an ordinary cell.

Although Li Ang's perception cannot capture those existences, he can sense the faint breath they emit... From this aspect, those foreign objects mixed into the human body are actually alive... and have that weird vitality.

When Li Ke distinguished those "people" who exuded strange auras from the pedestrians on the road, he instinctively felt very uncomfortable, and even had an uncontrollable murderous intention towards them... But Li Ang held back his heart this impulse.

The number of those who were contaminated was not that large. Li Ang only found two of them after driving all the way, but if the scope was expanded to the entire city, then they would reach an astonishing number... After several months of spread , I don’t know how many people were contaminated. Fortunately, Li Ang discovered it in time, otherwise they might also have been infected.

No wonder this city is doomed... Unless a large-scale army enters, it will be impossible to identify these infected people one by one. And according to Li Ang, there should be no similar organization in Sagazaki City. The police department is obviously The special service team is already the top armed force. Their number is obviously not enough, and because the body of 'Kitano', the original infected person, is there, the police station is no longer a safe place.

When that family member takes action, the first one to suffer will probably be the special service team.

Li Ang couldn't remind the police. If he concealed it, he would still have some time. If the police were alerted, the family members would probably take action directly.

Moreover, there was no need for Li Ang to remind the police. Although his identity was supplemented by the police department, there were still many people in the police station who were above him. Having too much relationship with the police would make Li Ang constrained. Just the right amount.

After playing with the radio for a while, Li Ang didn't get any useful information. It seemed that he wouldn't get any more useful clues today, but he had gained enough today, so Li Ang didn't feel discouraged.

Perhaps, the source mentioned by that voice does not only refer to the origin of all this, but may also imply that there is a 'pollution source' hidden in this city. The most likely one is the current sewer system of Sagazaki City, and The place where Kitano first discovered the 'boy'.

While thinking about it, Li Ang unknowingly arrived near Sagazaki City University.

However, just when Li Ang contacted Adele and was about to tell him that he had arrived, Li Ang found that Adele's mobile phone was turned off.

"Shut down? The phone is out of battery? Or... something else happened."
