"Sir, no giant monster remains have been found, only a large number of human corpses have been found in the swamp lake......"

The on-board communicator of the Archaeological Society's special car reports from the frogman team mixed with the sound of noisy rain.

"Keep looking, in the area I have demarcated for you, you must conduct a carpet search, if you don't have enough manpower, you will apply to the government for additional assignments, and apply directly to the archaeological association for equipment, don't hesitate, that spiritual pollution source monster is what I have seen with my own eyes, can it still evaporate?"

Olivia frowned, her dissatisfaction was obvious, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the man behind her who was tinkering with his shoes, and then asked,

"What happened at that time, you can't tell?"

The situation in the town of Hesai came to an end after last night's battle, and the result seemed to be perfect, but the real situation was to Olivia's heart.

As for the reason, just like Olivia just said, the corpses of the spiritual pollution source monsters that existed in the swampy lake that controlled the actions of those dried corpses disappeared mysteriously after fighting Zhu Jue.

It stands to reason that this is impossible, after all, Zhu Jue was only two or three meters away from the monster at that time, and he was still fighting a second ago, so he finally killed the monster, but when he turned around, there was not even a single hair left on the lake, let alone Olivia, even Zhu Jue himself wondered what was going on.

"It's real, there's no doubt about it, hallucinations aren't likely, and I can assure you that it was done at the time...... Even if I take a step back and say that I missed, this monster should have remained in the swamp lake, not completely disappeared. ”

Zhu Jue was lying in the back seat, the shoes on his feet had been taken off, his two feet were resting on the rear window frame, his arms were horizontally covering his eyes, and he said in a muffled voice,

"But then again, the ability of the Spiritual Pollution Source Monster is too complex, and the ability to be disembodied and absorb life force like Star Color's is perverted enough, as well as the ones I encountered before...... Maybe the monsters in the swamp lake also have their own special abilities, let the people in the archaeological association find them for the time being, by the way, if the monsters in the swamp lake can't be found, then pay attention to the believers in the town, since these guys worship that monster, they will still leave some clues. ”

I've seen too many monsters over the years, and I've seen all kinds of strange phenomena Zhu Jue has seen it all over, and it doesn't go without saying much about psychological endurance, instead of worrying about where the monster went, it's better to think more about how to find the remnants of the clues from other aspects as much as possible.

"You don't seem to be in good shape, do you need me to contact the medical staff in the association when you get back...... If you want to keep it a secret, I know some people in private practice. ”

Just as she was about to send a message to the next group of archaeological association teams who would go to Hesai Town for follow-up investigations, Olivia unexpectedly found that Zhu Jue's expression was a little pale, and she couldn't help but say.

"No, I'm not that fragile yet, I'm just a little tired, take a break. ”

Last night's battle looked clean and neat, and it was resolved all the way, but it was based on the premise that Zhu Jue had no reservations, and the snowstorm that swept inside and outside the tavern and the complete outbreak on the swampy lake were undoubtedly extremely serious for his physical exertion.

Not to mention the fact that he still had to mentally confront the existence in the swamp lake during this period, it is no exaggeration to say that this was the most difficult battle he had ever experienced five years later, and now it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted, even in the bumpy car, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

However, Zhu Jue, who had relaxed his mind, forgot a very important thing, and now that he was actually better not to sleep.

When others are mentally exhausted, they sleep to rest, and when they sleep in this state, they are asking for trouble for themselves, and he who has just faced the indescribable existence is too easy to be affected on the mental level.

In fact, Zhu Jue thought of this question at a certain moment, but when he reacted and forcibly opened his eyes, the world in front of him had already changed.

The chirping of birds drifted through the trees, and the obscure light passed through the branches and fell between the legs, but it was only gray.

As if he had traveled back in time to an old photograph of the seventies and eighties centuries ago, he could see a black and white river valley, and he could feel the wind and the swaying of the branches and leaves, but he was looking at everything around him from the perspective of a bystander.

Zhu Jue looked around, confirming that he should be the mouth on the side of the river valley, in front of him is a big lake where rivers converge, there are high mountains on the left and right sides, the environment is not bad, it looks like it should be sunny weather, but in Zhu Jue's eyes, it is not much different from a rainy day.

"It used to be a snowy field, but now it's a river valley...... But I don't think there is any foreign spiritual will in my body. ”

For the current situation, Zhu Jue didn't panic too much, just frowned, and began to think about the root of this hallucination.

Goo ~ Goo ~ At a certain moment, a sound similar to a toad's belly sounded in Zhu Jue's ears, and he looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, when he saw the existence on the lake in front of him, Zhu Jue's eyes still showed a little trepidation.

"Is there a bigger one?"

Zhu Jue, who was lying on the back seat, opened and closed his mouth, and suddenly popped out a "dream talk".

Olivia, who was driving the car in front of him, was stunned, but when she turned around, she saw Zhu Jue tilting his head and facing the other side, and the wind chimes that were originally lying on his stomach also arched to that side, so he had to squeeze himself between Zhu Jue and the seat.

It was already the afternoon when he returned to Dawning City, and Zhu Jue did not follow Olivia back to the Archaeological Association to report the situation, but had already discussed with Olivia in the car how to report and went home to rest.

Sleep is definitely not able to sleep, before sleeping in the car for a while did not not recover the spirit, but let his state become worse and worse, plus Chen Qing of Xiangfeng Restaurant sent a message, after going home, Zhu Jue took a shower first, and then did not stay in the house for a long time, but slowly swayed out in a pair of flip-flops.

"Hive Series Biomonitoring Equipment...... I won't use it, and even if you explain it to me a lot, I'm not going to learn how to control it. ”

Looking at the equipment pictures and operation manuals from Olivia's private message, Zhu Jue directly opened the voice and replied.

Originally, the equipment that could only be put in place after a week was urged by his consultant, and it was only three days to be in place, and Dawning City even prepared the equipment that can be called first-class at the moment because of the considerable preparation, but in Zhu Jue's opinion, those delicate objects were really not something he could control, and he still had to rely on Olivia to think about it.

"I'll help you pretend?"

Olivia, who had just taken a shower and was wearing a bath towel, held up her mobile phone and asked with some hesitation into the microphone, she should be free for a period of time after the incident in Hesai Town, but she knew that Zhu Jue rented surveillance equipment for private use, and the latter's personality was probably not so easy to expose her secrets.

Not surprisingly, there was a long silence in the chat box.

Putting down the phone in a bit of frustration, Olivia pursed her lips, the loss in her eyes unconcealed.

Airplanes~

A vibrating beep.

Picking it up and looking at it again, a smile appeared on Olivia's face again.

"You have to keep it a secret!"

This is a reply from Zhu Jue, a bit of a small family, but it still makes Olivia quite happy, because she knows that she is one of the few people on the other side who can entrust the secret from now on.

Zhu Jue on the other side just replied to a message and didn't look at his phone again, but walked along Parrot Avenue and walked along the parrot avenue on flip-flops to the Shengang District on the east side of Heywood District, where Chen Qing made an appointment on the phone.

The so-called Shenzhen-Hong Kong District is actually the area of the Heywood District near the river outside Dawning City, because there are several small wharves for loading goods, so the people in the Heywood District gave it the title of "small port" at first, and then it was changed to "Shenzhen-Hong Kong District" probably because it was not too loud.

However, when Zhu Jue arrived here, he found that this Shenzhen-Hong Kong area was far from what he imagined.

Stacked old houses are crowded together, a large number of colorful light signs are hung everywhere outside the window, crowded and cramped streets, not to mention some high-tech products, and even the common sky train in Heywood District is completely absent here, instead of all kinds of advertising and propagandists of different shapes and those weird old-fashioned welcome balloons, which are marked with the grand opening of a certain hotel.

Rather than being a mid-range residential area, Zhu Jue thinks it's closer to the state of the Pasfica district.

In fact, what he didn't know was that although the Heywood District was classified as a middle-class residential area in Dawning City, just like the most high-end mansions would have toilets and sewers, the Heywood District naturally could not be peaceful and stable, and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong District was undoubtedly the part of the Heywood District with a relatively poor environment.

Of course, this is also relative, and it may not be as good as the residential area where Zhu Jue is located, but compared to Pasfica, it is also a good place.

At least in Zhu Jue's opinion, he doesn't like the square to rigid and cold buildings in Heywood, but prefers this kind of lively, rather pyrotechnic place.

"Hou Shengzi, how many skewers of roast pork?"

found the agreed place, Zhu Jue was looking for someone, and he heard someone next to the barbecue stall wearing sunglasses at night, and holding a piece of greasy pork in his mechanical hand to greet him.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Chen Qing couldn't be the connector you, an old fellow, right?"

Zhu Jue avoided the two spotted earth dogs that were running by him, took a bottle of drink and opened the lid, and walked to the table while drinking.

"They said that it is best to trade with you as an acquaintance, and I think that no one has known you before me, so I take the initiative to ask for ...... Boss, this stall, you have a copy of the brand, especially the kidney, come to ten first!"

Maybe he felt that he was quite handsome wearing sunglasses, the old man never took them off, wearing this floral shirt, dressed more casually than Zhu Jue, paused, chewed two mouthfuls of meat, and pointed at Zhu Jue and shouted,

"Charge this boss!"
