The whispers in my ears came one after another, sometimes clear and sometimes vague, with no sign of stopping.With his previous experience, Zhang Jing could only try his best to distract himself from paying attention to this sound, but he couldn't help but become a little anxious and irritable.

Facts have proved that people tend to overthink when they are anxious and lonely. With Zhang Jing's character, Chengfu also felt hesitant after spending nearly 7 hours.He even thought about whether he should get out and take a look at the situation in the distance. However, before he could put this idea into action, he was completely dispelled by a huge monster passing by not far away...

It was a huge humanoid monster that seemed to be taller than a three-story building. It had dark skin, walked upright, and had a green face and fangs. It looked a bit like the "ghost soldiers" in the Temple of Hell in the Taoist mythology that Zhang Jing had seen in his previous life, but it was this size. It's really too shocking.However, such a huge monster moved in the forest without making much noise. Obviously, the agility of this monster is not low.

Fortunately, Zhang Jing, who was holding his breath and hiding in the bushes with his blinding technique, was not noticed by the monster. The monster walked past not far from the bushes until it disappeared from his sight...

This situation almost immediately gave up Zhang Jing's idea of ​​going out to check further. He didn't want to fight this monster with unknown strength yet... He had discovered that since the world had changed, the number of monsters seemed to have increased a lot. , he has spotted monsters passing by from far or near the bushes several times before and after, and the level of danger suddenly increased...

..............................

The sky finally dawned, and rays of light leaked in from the gaps in the bushes. Zhang Jing opened his eyes from sitting cross-legged, moved his arms, and suddenly noticed that the bushes that had turned into scorched and ferocious bushes at night, at this time It has returned to its original lush foliage form.

I hurriedly went to the observation port on the side of the tent and looked out of the bushes. It was indeed dawn. Looking out at this time, the originally hellish scene in the wild seemed to be covered with a layer of "hypocrisy." The scene when Zhang Jing first came to this world. The red ashes of snow in the sky also turned back to white. The gray sky was still gloomy. The cracked earth, the red flames and steam, as if they had never existed before. Appeared generally.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was 11:05. Judging from the time, about 11 hours had passed the previous night, which was similar to the night time on earth.

After moving his joints, Zhang Jing took out the mineral water again, took a few sips and then put the lid back on. Then he ate some compressed biscuits for breakfast. After repacking his luggage, Zhang Jing got out of the bushes. , began his new day's itinerary...

With yesterday's experience, Zhang Jing began to gradually get to know this forest. Today, his speed improved a lot.After walking along a straight line for about an hour, Zhang Jing stopped.Of course, the "straight line" here is just a vague concept. Without any instruments, we can only rely on Zhang Jing's general sense of direction.

He opened the scroll, compared the light spots on the map again, readjusted the direction, and continued moving forward.

There are no basic roads here, not even a simple small dirt road. Although it is a sparse forest area, it is not like the Amazon rainforest area on earth, which is surrounded by plants and blocked with no way to go. But in many cases, The vines and long grass and shrubs blocking the road still caused him considerable trouble, so in many cases, Zhang Jing had to pass certain sections of the road from the treetops.

"Shh!"

Just as he jumped onto the branch of a big tree, a branch suddenly shot towards the back of Zhang Jing's neck like a spring.

Just like an eye growing in the back of his head, Zhang Jing cut it into two pieces with a backhand sword.

The branch broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, but it turned out to be a snake-like insect-like monster with a sucker-like mouthpart on its head. The mouthpart was full of everted sharp teeth, layered on top of each other, and it looked quite strange. For scary people.This thing fell to the ground and remained alive for a while, twisting and struggling.

There are many such things in this forest, and this is not the first time Zhang Jing has been attacked.Although he didn't know if it was poisonous or not, Zhang Jing didn't want to be bitten, so he could only be more vigilant.

While walking in the forest, the surrounding fog was filled with waves, sometimes thick and sometimes thin. However, from beginning to end, the fog here never completely subsided.As for the snow of ashes that seems to be floating in the sky forever, Zhang Jing has not yet figured out the composition of this ashes. It seems to be a substance between reality and illusion. After falling, it will soon fall. Disappeared.This means that these ashes will always only cover a thin layer on the ground and will not increase. Otherwise, I am afraid that the world would have been flooded by the continuous accumulation of ashes.

Being in a state of high concentration all the time is quite exhausting, so Zhang Jing needs to stop and rest every half hour or so.Zhang Jing couldn't help but flash back to some of the war movie clips he had watched in his previous life. He felt that his current state was quite similar to the American soldiers patrolling the Taliban-occupied areas in Afghanistan. They were always on guard against incoming cold guns and roadside bombs. , but what I faced seemed to be worse, and the person I was guarding against was not a human being...

While walking and walking, Zhang Jing compared the scroll and his watch and found that according to his current traveling speed, he would encounter a landmark that looked like a river not far ahead. It was a thick line on the scroll. Zhang Jing guessed that it should be a river.

Continuing forward, Zhang Jing encountered two more monsters along the way, both of which were easier to deal with than the first monster. Together, they provided Zhang Jing with about half a mouthful of spiritual liquid in the demon refining pot.

However, Zhang Jing also vaguely felt something strange in this forest at this time.That is, in an ordinary forest, the creatures must be both herbivorous and carnivorous, and according to normal logic, the character of herbivorous creatures must be more timid and cautious.However, in this forest, all the creatures Zhang Jing has come into contact with so far, without exception, are highly aggressive. This is not in line with normal logic. It can only be said that there is some unknown force affecting it. holding them.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but think of the annoying whispers at night...

Chapter 92 Dilemma

At noon, of course, in this world, Zhang Jing has not figured out the laws of day and night changes so far, so he can only rest and eat according to the habits on earth. According to his watch, it is about lunch time on earth. Zhang Jing took out the little food he had and started eating. His lunch was still a piece of compressed biscuits. In addition, he took another sip of water.

After half-hungry and half-full lunch, Zhang Jing took a rest for a while. He was not going to get water and food in this world if it was not necessary. After all, there was something weird here. Zhang Jing didn’t know whether eating the creatures and water here would harm him. What bad things will happen...

As we move forward, the types of plants are slowly changing. Zhang Jing is currently in an area surrounded by large vines.This type of vines, Zhang Jing had seen similar ones on TV before, seems to be more common in some watery jungles. Countless vines hanging down from huge branches formed a fantasy scene, which made Zhang Jing Jing Ping was a little cautious.

There was silence all around, except for the occasional scattered unknown chirping, which was fleeting, but the ashes from the sky were still falling, which made a lot of weight fall on Zhang Jing's shoulders.Fortunately, the canopy of the trees overhead here is relatively dense, and the ones that can fall under the trees are much smaller.

Zhang Jing suddenly stopped, and there seemed to be some sound... He instinctively bent down and lay on the ground. His whole body was almost buried in the dead leaves and long grass. He put his head against the ground and carefully distinguished, There was a faint sound of water coming from the front.

Standing up, Zhang Jing quickened his pace and moved forward. The sound of the water became louder and louder. Not long after, when they passed through a patch of long grass, Zhang Jing was happy to find that they were already standing on a river bank.

This is a river with abundant water. The water is surging and making constant noises. The intense water force stirs up the sediment on the bottom of the water, which makes the quality absolutely not clear and transparent.The river is wide, with a distance of about [-] meters according to visual inspection. The wide part is even wider. There are many debris floating in the river, and there are even some small islands floating there and moving forward with the current. These are the debris floating on the river. It is formed by a mixture of vines, aquatic plants and trees, some are large and some are small, and they look quite weird.

Not far away drifted several islands made of shrubs and trees.In the rapids, a clump of underbrush got stuck on the rock, followed by piles of bushes, branches, and logs.These things were entangled tightly together, and finally, a strong current washed it away from the reef and turned it into a floating island, an island without soil, flowing down the river.

Zhang Jing took a closer look and found that the water was turbid and the situation in the water could not be seen clearly from the shore. He was worried that there was some pollution in the water, so he temporarily canceled the idea of ​​taking water directly from the river.

承和36年西历2015年12月3日20:03

Xin Hao's mood these days can be described as being on a rocket. As a third-rate anchor, his attention in the Kulu live broadcast room has always been tepid. Since he entered the industry, the number of people online at the same time has increased. It has never exceeded 4 digits.

However, starting from the past few days, everything has been different. Since my video was uploaded and released on major platforms, the attention of my live broadcast room has skyrocketed like a rocket. Even today, the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 10 Thousands of people, and the number of followers has exceeded the one million mark, making him one of the most well-known anchors of "Kudv Live".

Because of this, just yesterday, the platform of "Kulu Live" found him. The platform planned to take advantage of the topicality of the current incident to arrange a series of promotions for him. Just the big push on the homepage that was launched today would give him a huge boost. Brought a large number of new users.

Interestingly, even several of the platform’s management bosses were particularly interested in his experience and asked him privately whether it was true.

In addition, in the past two days, many self-media platforms found him and interviewed him about his experience, and more self-media accounts applied to him for permission to reprint.Even this morning, reporters from two well-known newspapers in the industry interviewed him over the phone. It can be seen that the influence of this incident has made these traditional media want to take advantage of the popularity.

After all, this incident had video as a communication medium, and it had pictures and truth. On the Internet, the popularity rose so fast that even Xin Hao himself did not expect it.A large number of netizens want to know whether this thing is true or false?This has directly resulted in Xin Hao's live broadcast room becoming overcrowded in recent days. The number of people has increased so fast that the platform is urgently allocating resources to ensure the stability of his live broadcast.

His main job these days is to repeat his experience that day over and over again and answer all kinds of weird questions from netizens.

"But I'm so exhausted..." Xin Hao found an excuse to log off for a while. Xin Hao, who was a little thirsty, recalled the problems that overwhelmed him in the live broadcast room, and for the first time, he began to feel a little "worried about success."

Did you come to form your own team?Xin Hao thought optimistically: At least, should he hire an assistant to help him take care of the groceries?

Thinking of the soaring advertising shares and reward fees in the past few days, as well as the soft and waxy voices of the female anchors who wanted to connect with him, "Brother Hua", Xin Hao couldn't help but feel half relaxed. Thinking of the previous The ambiguous hint from the female anchor with a foul figure made me wonder if I could just fly over and make a date...

Just when Xin Hao was thinking about it, there was suddenly a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Who is it? It's so late..." Xin Haozhuo walked over with his slippers on, reached out and opened the door, and then was stunned.

There were two people standing at the door. One of them was wearing a police uniform, a round hat, and a middle-aged man with the logo of a first-class superintendent on his shoulder. He knew him. He was the district man who had encountered a supernatural incident with him a few days ago. Officer Ye Jianye of the police station.The other man was wearing a neat black official uniform, gold-rimmed glasses, a silver crown, shiny leather shoes, and a black briefcase. He looked at a man in his thirties with a smile. He was indeed not. know.However, as a Dazhao native who has been influenced by etiquette culture since childhood, he still keenly discovered one detail. Police officer Ye Jianye was half a step behind the man in black. In Eastern social culture, the subtext is, this The two are dominated by the man in black.

After a little surprise, a smile suddenly appeared on Xin Hao's face: "Ah, it's Chief Ye, and this gentleman, I don't know it's so late..."

"Hello, Mr. Xin, I am Zhou Xilin, a senior agent from the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Imperial Ministry of Justice. This is my ID. I have some things that I need to ask you to cooperate with my work." The man in black said, taking out his hand He took out a document with a black cover and opened it in front of Xin Hao. On the left page of the document was a silver badge with a shield, scales, wheat ears and two crossed swords, and on the right was a photo of the person in front of him. Name, title and number.

Xin Hao had seen this scene in front of him many times in various TV series and movies in the empire.As a special department under the Imperial Ministry of Justice, the Special Crime Investigation Bureau has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery in the eyes of ordinary people, and their responsibilities are also different from ordinary local police. They generally do not involve ordinary crimes. The targets are basically espionage, subversion, terrorist organizations, international criminal groups and other crimes that seem out of reach for ordinary people.

"Oh...oh...it's Commander Zhou, please come in quickly, please come in..." Xin Hao glanced at the ID quickly, not daring to look at it more.As a civilian from the lower middle class of society, he was instinctively afraid of this legendary institution, and he hurriedly opened the door to let the two people into the room.

"The house is a little messy. I haven't had time to clean it up yet. You two, please sit down, please sit down..." Xin Hao's home was littered with some packed disposable lunch boxes. These were the takeaways he ordered. He didn't have time to throw them out. On the sofa There were still a lot of unwashed clothes left behind. Xin Hao pulled them aside in embarrassment, and then asked the two of them to sit down.

"Your family lacks a wife to take care of the housework for you..." Ye Jianye joked with a smile. After all, he and Xin Hao have been through thick and thin together, so they are not that strange.

"Isn't this already..." After hearing the joke, Xin Hao's nervousness was relieved a little, and he touched his head and said with a smile.

Xin Hao also wanted to make tea for the two of them, but was stopped by Zhou Xilin, so he sat on the single sofa next to Zhou Xilin with a little uneasiness.

"Agent Zhou is here specifically for what happened last time. Don't be nervous and just answer truthfully." Ye Jianye spoke first.

"Definitely, definitely..." Xin Hao clasped his index fingers on his thighs and nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.

"Mr. Xin, I'm here this time to learn more about the supernatural event you experienced not long ago. We noticed that you actually used photography equipment to record that experience?" Zhou Xilin took out his mobile phone and called up A video was placed on the coffee table in front of Xin Hao. Xin Hao just scanned it and recognized that it was the video he uploaded to the Internet.

"Uh... this was indeed taken by me. My electronic glasses have a camera function. I was so nervous at the police station that day that I forgot about it. When I came back, I found that the video function was turned on and I accidentally recorded this video... ..." Xin Hao felt uneasy and smiled apologetically while bringing out the words he had prepared.

"In this case, please hand over the original video you recorded to us. On behalf of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau, I ask you to fulfill your responsibilities as an imperial citizen, and please cooperate with us." Zhou Xilin suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes sharp. Staring at Xin Hao.

"That's natural. I'm going to get you the video data right now..." Xin Hao said and was about to get up, but was stopped by Zhou Xilin.

"If your electronic glasses data has not been deleted, I hope to take them back." Zhou Xilin said, pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses: "Of course, it is not confiscated, it is purchased, and we will give you three times the Compensation for market value.”

Xin Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. In fact, he knew that it was okay not to agree, because the "purchase" here could be turned into "compulsory collection" at any time. It would be good for everyone to be wise.

After putting on white gloves and receiving the electronic glasses obtained from Xin Hao, Zhou Xilin took out an evidence bag, carefully put it in, and then put it into the briefcase he always carries.

"In addition, there is another request that requires your cooperation." Zhou Xilin put the briefcase back to his side, with a formulaic smile on his face again: "We have noticed that you have recently posted a series of information about this incident online. Video." Zhou Xilin paused and looked at the nervous look on Xin Hao's face before continuing: "Since this incident involves state secrets, we will contact various online platforms to delete those videos. At the same time, I hope you will Can you cooperate with us in conducting some rumor-refuting propaganda.”

"This..." Xin Hao suddenly became a little entangled. Although he had prepared for the situation in front of him, this time was different from the past. He had already enjoyed the feeling of fame and fortune brought by a overnight explosion, and Xin Hao no longer wanted to I would like to fight back to that unknown little anchor.Now he understands very well what brought him everything he has today.

"I think...as a citizen of the empire, I should enjoy sufficient freedom of the press and freedom of speech...This is stipulated in the constitution, isn't it?" Xin Hao clenched his hands on his knees, trying his best to suppress his guilty conscience, frowning and protesting. .

“The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution authorizes the Ministry of Justice, when necessary, to ensure that important national information is not leaked, to require specific parties and the media to keep specific information confidential, and under special circumstances, has the right to forcibly terminate ." Zhou Xilin seemed not surprised by Xin Hao's reaction and said calmly. At the same time, he opened his briefcase and took out a few documents: "This is the authorization document given to me by the Ministry of Justice. You can take a look."

Xin Hao took the document with a pale face. Sure enough, this was the legendary "gagging order". Although Xin Hao had never seen this thing, since the other party dared to take it out, it could not be fake and would not be tolerated. Don’t obey yourself.

"But...if I changed my story so suddenly, it would be difficult to find a reason for people to believe..." Xin Hao lowered his head and seemed to be reading the document, but in fact he didn't read a word, he was just looking for reasons to make the final struggle.

"Don't worry about this. We have already thought of the reason for you. Let's just say it is to promote a certain game. Cuckoo Company will announce the development plan of a new mobile game later. The video you posted will be used as topic marketing at that time. Part of it is that what I said before was specially designed to market the game."

"This..." Xin Hao's face turned even paler. Zhou Xilin's plan could indeed resolve the hot topic this time, but if he really did this, he would probably be scolded as a scumbag...

Chapter 93 Painted skin

Thinking of the anger of millions of netizens because of being deceived, Xin Hao felt that his future life would be gloomy...

"Of course, in order to compensate for your efforts, our investigation bureau will also give you certain financial rewards, including a house in the city of no less than 300 square meters, plus [-] million yuan in cash. In addition, if you are willing If so, there will also be a labor contract from the city government.”

"Are you serious?" Xin Hao raised his head fiercely, and when he saw that Zhou Xilin's expression didn't seem to be fake, he felt a lot more relaxed.Although these compensations are still far inferior to the benefits brought by his own success, it is still a good retreat after all. He has a house, cash, and a job.

"Of course, our Investigation Bureau is still a very reputable organization." Zhou Xilin smiled slightly and pointed at Ye Jianye beside him: "Officer Ye can be a witness."

Xin Hao subconsciously looked at Ye Jianye beside him, only to see him slightly nodding towards him.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally felt that my arms couldn't twist my thighs, so I sighed: "Okay, how do you need me to cooperate?"

....................................

***

Zhang Jing kept moving forward along the river. One advantage of walking along the river is that his judgment of direction has been greatly improved. The river is a natural reference that allows him to adjust his route.At this time, he was walking in a large patch of long grass like horse hair. Just as he was walking out of the dense grass, there was suddenly a slight and rhythmic sound of footsteps in front of him...

Zhang Jing stopped sharply and turned his eyes to look for the source of the sound. Then he heard a faint voice coming from the front: "Help...Help...Help..."

The voice is a bit unclear, but if you listen carefully, it is indeed the language of Dazhao.

Frowning his brows, Zhang Jing's sense of vigilance began to rise rapidly. How could there be people from Dazhao here?Totally impossible...

It was just a moment of confusion, but the other party was already walking in his direction. Zhang Jing could already see a vague figure shaking about less than 60 meters away from him.

At this time, due to the fog, he could not clearly see the situation in front of him, but with his current vision, he could clearly confirm that he saw it correctly, that it was indeed a human figure!

There was a crackling sound not far away, but a fallen tree was burning. It looked like it was a tree that was hit by lightning. It must have been burning for a long time, and the entire tree was almost completely carbonized. , the fire was flickering brightly and dimly, and the figure was passing by the burning tree and slowly walked towards Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing just casually glanced at the burning tree and removed his glasses. He had seen this situation many times along the way and it was not uncommon. However, at this time, he looked at the man staggering in the firelight. figure, the uneasiness in my heart continues to grow...

This is a tall woman with long golden hair, an absolutely slender figure, a beautiful face, and no clothes on her body.

She looked anxious and shouted "Help..." in a vague voice. She walked toward Zhang Jing with faltering but unhurried steps, as if she wanted to seek help.

Two golden flames suddenly ignited in his eyes. Under the prying eyes of the secret technique, Zhang Jing could clearly see traces of black energy gushing out from the woman's body, and large groups of black energy gathered behind her to form a vague and strange figure.

At this time, the golden red flames burning on the tree trunks on the side shone over, shining on Zhang Jing and the woman, and a long black reflection was drawn on the white ashes of snow under their feet... …

It’s really an extremely colorful scene... The red flames, white ashes, and black ferocious reflection look like an oil painting...

Yes, a ferocious reflection.The reflection of the woman, illuminated by the firelight and dim skylight, was definitely not a human being, but a strange and ferocious monster shadow.Under the firelight, the shadows of the two people looked like a monster and a human being approaching, looking strange and terrifying...

At this time, the "woman" was about 20 meters away from Zhang Jing. She opened her arms and quickened her pace as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms...

"ban!"

With a low cry, the woman paused slightly, and with a scream, the skin outside her body suddenly exploded...

At this moment, a huge sonic boom sounded in front of Zhang Jing, but Zhang Jing raised his foot, then used his right arm to throw the bone spear in his hand violently. The bone spear that broke the sound barrier was already in an instant. Arriving in front of the woman!

The woman's reaction was not slow. The moment Zhang Jing threw the spear, her body bowed violently, her spine bent like a giant monkey and she retreated sharply...

However, after all, it was affected by the Qi Forbidden Breaking Technique, and the forced removal of the disguise caused it to freeze for a moment, and the bone spear used this moment of stiffness to penetrate into its shoulder.

At the same time as this performance was being performed, Zhang Jing, who had thrown away his backpack, rushed in front of him with a long sword in his hand.At this time, he had completely seen the true appearance of this monster. It had a strange spindle-shaped head with several sharp horns on both sides of its head. Its fiery red body was covered with pustules and serous fluid, and its arms were extremely long. It almost hangs to the ground, its claws are sharp and huge, obviously very lethal, and there is a thorn-like tail behind it.

The next moment, the long sword collided with the monster's claws. As the strong wind roared, the two sides suddenly separated. Zhang Jing jumped to a branch nearby. He touched his ribs. There was an extra claw mark here, while the monster below He lost an arm, and his left arm was indeed chopped off by his sword.

The left hand with the arm armor slowly pulled out the tactical dagger from the waist. This tactical dagger, which is more than 20 centimeters long, is made of high-strength steel. One side is serrated and the other side is a sharp blade. When held in the hand, it feels like A short sword.

Zhang Jing holds the dagger in his left hand in an overhand manner. This is known as the "Yin Dao", which is convenient for concealed raids.In this way, dual-wielding weapons, Zhang Jing's figure flashed and he threw himself in front of the monster again.

There was another fierce collision that was almost connected together. The two figures kept changing their positions in the jungle. From time to time, trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl broke and fell due to the impact.

The high-intensity fight didn't last long. As a dull collision sounded, the monster's head was chopped off, its body shook, and it fell to the ground.

Zhang Jing, whose hands were covered with blood, had a sullen face. He walked carefully to the monster and inserted a sword into its body with his backhand. The monster didn't move at all. It seemed to be completely dead.

Zhang Jing raised his arm and looked at it. There was a wound on each of his left and right arms. This was the last moment of the battle. The monster's right arm suddenly exploded and divided into five whip-like tentacles, which could not be avoided. , Zhang Jing struggled to be wiped twice, and he moved in and chopped off its head.

After a moment, a white shadow flew out from the monster and penetrated into Zhang Jing's chest. He took out the demon refining pot and looked at it. Zhang Jing found that the amount of spiritual liquid this monster brought him was the highest so far, about [-]% more than the demon refining pot. The first monster he encountered when he came to this world was slightly taller.

There was some blood on his hands and body, but fortunately it was not far from the river. Zhang Jing put his backpack on again and followed the sound of water to the river.Not long after he moved forward, he found a shoal. He first carefully observed whether there was any danger in the river. After confirming that it was safe, he squatted down by the river to get water to wash away the blood on his body.

After cleaning, Zhang Jing re-examined his wounds. The three wounds were not deep. Relatively speaking, the injury under the ribs was slightly more serious. It was an incision about ten centimeters long.

However, the three wounds did not hurt at this time. On the contrary, they still felt a little itchy. Zhang Jing looked serious. It was obvious that the monster's attack seemed to be poisonous or something else.Thinking of the pus cells and serous fluid on the monster's body, he felt a chill on his back.

Without hesitation, Zhang Jing took off his clothes, put the backpack by his side, took out a metal kerosene windproof lighter, and took out a bottle of alcohol that had been prepared earlier, and then cleaned the handle from his waist. The tactical dagger was drawn out.

He first cleaned the blade of the dagger again with alcohol, then lit the lighter and placed the blade on the flame of the lighter to bake it until the blade turned faintly red. Then he stopped and closed the lighter.
