Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

……

Li Ang found a place to park the police car.

A police car parked in front of the school was a bit conspicuous and even attracted the attention of the school security guard. However, when Li Ang said that he was here to pick someone up, the security guard quickly lifted the alert.

After saying hello to the guard and asking him to help pay attention, so that Li Ang and Adele would not miss this kind of mistake, Li Ang went directly into the campus and began to search for Adele's whereabouts.

The identity of the police is more or less guaranteed, and as long as they don't come here frequently, they won't cause much trouble.

After learning from the guard the location of the School of Social Sciences and Professor Valk's residence, Li Ang ran directly in these two directions.

Without many detours, Leon soon found Adele standing blankly in an open space near Professor Valk's house.

"Adele!!" Li Ang shouted loudly.

Hearing the sound, Adele turned around blankly. Without saying anything, she threw herself into Li Ang's arms and began to sob softly.

This made Li Ang a little bit at a loss. He hurriedly wiped the tears from Adele's face and asked quickly, "Don't cry, what happened? Didn't you go to meet the professor? Why didn't you go there?" Are your mobile phones turned off?"

Feeling the emotions in Adele's heart, Leon discovered that the reason for her crying was not sadness, but a faint fear...

So what exactly happened?If the professor had an accident, Adele's emotion should be sadness, but now she was obviously frightened by something.

Being bullied at school?Are you kidding...

Although Li Ang teased that the high school uniform suits Adele very well, it does not mean that she will be bullied by some ordinary students...

Under Li Ang's comfort, Adele's mood gradually calmed down.

Following Adele's intermittent explanation, Li Ang knew what she had experienced today.

Chapter 64 A step too late

"..."

After listening to Adele's story, Li Ang realized that Adele's experience today was no less than Li Ang's.

The Witch King woke up from his slumber and Professor Valk did not retain his memory. These were all expected situations and nothing noteworthy.

What caught Li Ang's attention were two other things. The first was Professor Valk's 'daughter' in this world. He didn't need Li Ang's intuition to remind him that there was something wrong with that guy.

A chance encounter with Adele... His body was seriously injured but he could fully recover in a short time... The name is the same as the singer Li Ang cares about... Reminded Adele that this place has been polluted... If this is not a problem, Li Ang thinks You might as well just take a shower and go to bed.

Even though the girl has so many problems, Li Ang still doesn't intend to cause trouble for her now.

Knowing her true identity, Li Ang can find her at any time, and if the other party doesn't want to be exposed, there is no need to go out to remind Adele. Now it seems that she is on Li Ang's side.

What Li Ang was more concerned about was the strange phone call Adele received at the end.

Although Li Ang was not afraid of this, he still felt a chill just from Adele's description.

After the Witch King said a word, he fell into a deep sleep again. Where had Adele seen this before?Even if she was attacked by a large group of mercenaries, Adele knew how to deal with it, but this kind of weird thing... In short, Adele was scared to death by this phone call.

"Lend me your cell phone." Li Ang said after being silent for a while.

Adele also guessed what Li Ang planned to do, but she said nothing and silently took out her phone and handed it to Li Ang.

Li Ang, who has played countless horror games, knows that all fear actually stems from insufficient firepower.

Why do people feel fear and other emotions when playing horror games that do not affect them?That's because the characters they control can't harm the monsters in the game at all.

Li Ang is different. He should be the strongest person in the world now. Even the family member himself does not dare to appear in front of him, let alone the things infected by it. The two sides maintain a delicate balance.

Based on the rich 'experience' gained from various film and television works, the voice Adele heard...may be something parasitic on Qiuye, or reading the memories in their corpses.

Just like in the classic horror movie "The Thing", no matter what the situation is, the two girls who survive are not the original two girls.

That thing planned to use the original interpersonal relationship between the two girls to deceive Adele. It might be for prey, or it might be to increase the number of its kind. In short, it would not end well.

Turning on the phone, Li Ang glanced briefly, then found Qiuye's mobile phone number and called back.

However, Li Ang waited for a while, but no one answered the phone.

"No one answered..." Li Ang returned the phone to Adele, "Let's go back to the car first, and then we'll talk as we walk."

Quickly leaving the university campus and returning to the police car with Adele, Li Ang contacted the previous communication company and asked them to immediately locate the location of Qiuye's mobile phone signal.

The monster disguised as Qiuye told Adele an address, and it was hiding in that place as expected. Soon the communications company also had results, and the location of the mobile phone signal was completely consistent with that address.

Less than half an hour had passed since Qiuye's last call to Adele, so he rushed there immediately, maybe he could still catch that thing.

Li Ang realized that this thing was a little different from the polluted people on the street. Pollution should be a gradual process. People on the street were polluted to varying degrees. However, these two girls were polluted in less than half a day. A certain mutation has occurred.

Coupled with the situation in the alley, Li Ang has reason to believe that this is a special case. Perhaps among all the infected people, they also belong to the level of 'elite monsters'.

Sounding the siren, Li Ang stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the target location at full speed.

"When I was investigating clues in the morning, I received an order from the police chief. He asked me to assist in investigating a case," Li Ang said, breaking the silence in the car. "Actually, I was a little hesitant. Should I hide this from you first?" But it doesn’t matter now...you should really regard them as friends, right?"

Hearing this, Adele nodded gently.

It is not only the influence of the resounding memories in her mind, but also Adele's own wish.

In just one day yesterday, Adele experienced the campus life of her dreams. If Adele is given a little more time, they should really become friends...

"The location where the crime occurred was the alley at the back door of a sushi restaurant in the North Snack Street. The crime occurred at about 11 o'clock last night."

Adele clenched her fists silently. In fact, she had already been mentally prepared for this after receiving the phone call. Now Li Ang was just helping her to confirm this.

"The walls of the alley were covered with a large amount of flesh and blood tissue. No bodies were found at the scene. Only a few bones, the remains of two school girls, and a mobile phone were found... At that time, it was not certain whether they were dead. So I originally planned to investigate first, but now it’s no longer necessary.”

The police were speeding down the street, and the surrounding cars were giving way to them.

But even so, they still couldn't beat the speed of the sun sinking. The bloody setting sun sank little by little under the horizon. At this time, the street lights on the street had not yet been lit, and the whole world suddenly fell into the darkest period of the day. time.

When the sun completely sank into the ground, Li Ang and the others arrived at the address given by the monster.

"It's here, it's here."

It was an old alley with a narrow entrance that could not accommodate two cars driving side by side.

A red ladies car blocked the entrance to the alley, forcing Li and Ang to get out of the car and walk the last part of the way.

The entire alley was so quiet that there was no sound at all, which made people feel a little frightened. However, the distance was not far. The two of them walked for less than 2 minutes before they saw the house given by the monster.

"Are they...there now?" Adele said, looking at the open window on the second floor.

"It's... empty."

Li Ang frowned and said as his perception swept across the room on the second floor.

The house was empty, and no living things were found. The strange vitality still remained, which proved that Li Ang's judgment was not wrong.

But that was already in the past, they were still a step too late.

Chapter 65 Incubation Room

When Li Ang said that no trace of that thing was found in the house, Adele breathed a sigh of relief.

To really face those things...even if they are just similar in appearance, it is still a lot of pressure for Adele.

"Wait outside for a moment, I'll go in first to check the situation." Leon said to Adele.

Although that thing has left, it does not mean that there is no danger in the room. In Li Ang's perception, that room is very 'lively', so he is still allowed to do things like sticking his face into the grass.

Asking Adele to wait downstairs first, Li Ang took out all the bits and pieces on his body, bringing only a mobile phone in a transparent sealed bag, an electric baton and two incendiary bombs. He went to the second floor of the house alone.

There is no living person in this dilapidated alley. I don’t know if all the residents here have been killed by the monsters, or because there are no people here, it was chosen as a stronghold by the monsters.

However, judging from some traces of life, it is probably the former.

When he arrived on the second floor, the door was ajar. Li Ang saw at a glance that the door lock was twisted into a twist. This was obviously violently broken by the monster. Ordinary people don't have that much strength. The owner of the house doesn't I don't know how long ago I was poisoned.

The power far exceeds that of ordinary people... It can read the memory of the victim... The most troublesome thing is that this thing actually has a certain amount of intelligence and knows how to disguise and deceive. Although it seems to be easy to reveal, for most ordinary people, , is already tricky enough.

Before pushing open the ajar door, Li Ang held his breath.

The Agor clan has many characteristics of marine life. Even without any training, Li Ang can easily maintain a breath-holding state for more than half an hour, which is more than enough to explore a room.

If those things want to spread pollution, they just want to find ways to enter the human body. Li Ang only needs to be careful not to inhale any strange things, such as spores spread through the air, which is also a very common way of diffusion.

The moment he walked into the house, Li Ang thought he had entered the water.

The air humidity in the room was astonishingly high. After only a few seconds, Li Ang's clothes were so wet that he could wring out water.

Why doesn't it feel special outside?If the air humidity here is so high, it will definitely affect the outside.

Just when Li Ang was a little confused, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw countless vine-like things stretching out from around the door, entangled tightly, and The door is completely sealed.

Even the part of the water vapor that escaped due to Li Ang's entry and exit was mostly sucked back by the vines. No wonder there was no sign of moisture at all outside.

Li Ang tried to poke the vines with his baton, and the tangled vines immediately spread out, revealing the damaged door. When Li Ang harvested the baton, the vines became entangled again.

【what is this?Biological version of automatic doors? 】

This thing only looks like a plant, but it is actually some kind of low-level creature. After all, plants do not have a nervous system.

After confirming that the thing sealing the door was not dangerous, Li Ang began to observe the situation in the room.

Although there were no lights on in the room, the environment here did not appear dark at all. A faint blue light illuminated the place, allowing Li Ang to clearly see everything in the room.

The floor, ceiling, walls, and even the original furniture in the room are all covered with a layer of sinew-like biological tissue, which is the main body of those vines. The load-bearing columns in the room have also disappeared and been replaced by It's something like tree trunks.

Many branches protrude from the tree trunk in an orderly manner. At the tips of these branches, translucent 'egg sheaths' the size of a baby's fist hang. The dim light that illuminates the entire room is emitted by those egg sheaths.

What surprised Li Ang was that unlike the scenes in the alley, there were no disgusting scenes here. If he didn't have trypophobia, he might still find this place beautiful.

Approaching the shining egg sheaths, Li Ang could see some small black shadows swimming in the egg sheaths.

In addition to these, there are many things that look like flowers and plants, but are actually some kind of creatures growing on the tendons covering the entire room.

This was an 'incubation room', and a realization flashed through Li Ang's mind. No wonder this was such an environment. I'm afraid these things wouldn't be able to survive in other places.

The ecological environment simulated in this incubator is different from any place Li Ang knows. It is very likely that this is a small part of a huge ecosystem.

Li Ang is not an expert in this field, so he can't judge anything useful. The only thing he can do is to take pictures of the situation here and show it to experienced people for judgment.

While taking pictures of the surroundings, in order to avoid irritating those things, Li Ang bypassed the egg sheaths and walked towards the balcony.

On the way to the balcony, Li Ang found a pool of blood that had not completely solidified.

[Fresh bloodstains...]

Judging from the oxygenation of the blood, it wasn't that long ago, maybe just a few hours ago.

Is there an unlucky person who was deceived by that monster and came here... It seems that Adele is not its only target. It is very likely to cast a wide net based on the interpersonal relationship between the two girls. Even if someone will notice it, If something goes wrong, there will always be fools who fall for it.

The amount of bleeding on the ground was very small. The unlucky guy was most likely not dead, but fell into the hands of these monsters... Li Ang thought it would be better to simply die to avoid further torture.

[I don’t know which unlucky guy it belongs to... By the way, the car parked outside. 】

Since this alley is a hatchery for those monsters, who would park in this dangerous place?In all likelihood, he is the owner of that pool of blood.

Li Ang walked forward silently. The balcony was also sealed by the same door on the first floor as the door of the room. Li Ang poked it as before, and the vines spread out on their own, opening a path to the balcony.

Entering the balcony, there is no muscle tissue covering it, and it maintains an ordinary dusty appearance.

On the floor, Li Ang found a blood-stained mobile phone at a glance.

There was a familiar pendant hanging on the casing of the phone. Li Ang found the same pendant in the alley that morning, and Adele also had one on her phone in this world.

This is where Qiuye's mobile phone signal finally appeared.

Chapter 66 Perceptual Sharing

Li Ang picked up the phone from the ground and tried it. It couldn't be turned on at all.

I don’t know whether it was out of power or the internal components were damaged by water vapor, but that’s not important. What’s important is where did that thing go after it left here?

If it wasn't another hiding place, it would be where the next prey was.

Apart from your closest friends, the target it is most likely to attack and most likely to be deceived by is...

[...their parents. 】

How many people would doubt the words of their children?Li Ang couldn't help but fell into silence.

Li Ang always remembered the purpose of his coming to this world. He did not come to this world to play a superhero, nor did he come to help clean up pollution. He came to find the whereabouts of Professor Valk and take him out of here.

To save people... or to save two unrelated people seems to be contrary to Li Ang's purpose.

As the secrets of the city are gradually revealed, Li Ang also feels that their time is becoming more and more urgent. He has no clue how to awaken the memories of Professor Valk and Lin En, and he does not know if there is any extra time. Can't be wasted on such trivial matters.
