Chapter 211: Greeting the King of Yama (5.6K, please subscribe, the fox is going to starve to death!)
"It's 5:00 p.m., orange warning for heavy rain, please pay attention to travel safety. ”
In the dim hallway, the mobile phone with the screen lit up faithfully reported the real-time weather conditions, and the middle-aged man wearing a brown jacket with a gloomy face bent down to put a waterproof plastic bag on his leather shoes, and placed a black umbrella beside him.
"Syphus, your resident card is still on the table, how can you even forget this?"
The woman reminded as she ran out of the kitchen with her resident ID card.
Sieverus turned to look at his wife, as if he hadn't reacted for two seconds, before speaking, "I'm sorry, I don't know...... Forgot. ”
"Hey, you've been in a bit wrong since you got home two days ago, is it because you saw those ghosts?"
Seeing her husband's dark eye circles and sluggish mental state, his wife helped him sort out his shirt with some distress, stuffed the resident card into his trouser pocket, and said softly,
"You'll be fine after you get the medicine in a while, Mr. Newcastle from the epidemic prevention center said on the news yesterday that their medicine can improve people's mental state. ”
"I know, don't worry. ”
hugged his wife, picked up the umbrella and pushed open the door.
Call~
The oncoming wind and rain made Seapheus, who had just opened the umbrella, a little unsteady on his feet, and hurriedly tilted the umbrella forward, his free left hand wrapped tightly in his jacket, and the cold wind was still persistent
It was overcast, at least Siphus, who lives in Neighborhood 17, had never seen this kind of weather.
The street lights on the side of the street were turned on early, and the light passed through the heavy rain curtain, illuminating only a small area, and the shops on both sides were closed.
Sieverus furrowed his brow as he looked at the gray street not far away, and he could not see the road ahead, so that he suddenly felt a sense of urgency that it was better to go back now.
However, he only took a leave of absence today, and the first half of the day was too heavy because of the wind and rain, and now it was finally a little smaller, so he had to trot along the side of the street, aiming for a nearby bus stop.
Fortunately, the distance was not far, and after 5 minutes, Seapheus could see the virtual light sign marked with the bus stop, but compared to the deserted in the past, it was actually full of people today.
There is no doubt that these people have to rush to the government's medical point, and even empty boats are not very good in this weather, and buses have become a popular means of transportation.
Sievers rushed over, because this was only a small bus stop on the side of the street, there were not many people inside, he could only hold an umbrella and wait outside, looking at the bus arrival time displayed on the light board, Sievers's eyes unconsciously fell on the people who were sheltering from the rain under the roof of the platform canopy.
The jade Buddha plaque hanging on the chest, the cross necklace, the string of Buddhist beads wrapped around the hand, and even the shoulders are tattooed with some patterns with religious meanings.
As the appearance of ghosts in the lower city became more and more frequent, this kind of thing was especially popular, and Siphus also read some religious classics, and even learned from some ancient legends that ghosts should be under the jurisdiction of the underworld Yama, which is what the "Religious Culture Guide" says.
Thinking back to the pages of the book, Seapheus's eyes were more drawn to the fluorescent demon tattoos on the chests of several young men.
This probably means to suppress evil with evil, but the hideous pattern really makes him uncomfortable, and he can't help but recall the group of ...... he saw when he was drinking with friends two days ago. He couldn't recall too much and forced himself to take his attention off the fluorescent tattoos.
As his attention returned, he soon noticed that there were many people around him, looking at his back, as if there was something there.
What's wrong?
The moment this thought came to his mind, the clammy coldness of his back suddenly came to his mind, and Seapheus was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to touch it.
From the trousers to the neck, I don't know when he was soaked in the rain, and he wore beige trousers when he went out, so it's no wonder that other people looked at him.
The problem is that he is holding an umbrella on the way here and deliberately leaning forward, in order to shield himself from the wind and rain as much as possible......
Drip~
Before Sieverus could figure out why, the bus came into the station at this time, hurriedly squeezed into the bus, and grabbed a seat to sit down.
Xu finally found a place to breathe a sigh of relief, and the passengers chatted in twos and threes, talking about all kinds of strange things that had happened in the downtown area one after another recently, and from time to time someone let out a few exclamations.
At this time, Seapheus didn't mean to participate at all, his eyes were staring at the sliding rain on the car window, which was clearly the opposite direction when he came!
Outside the window, two lights suddenly lit up on the street, which were also reflected on the window, so that many passengers cast their eyes over, and then someone said that it was the truck of Wu's aircraft, and somehow it was still operating in this weather, but Seapheus was stunned in his seat, looking at the passengers around him in some panic, wanting to see the expression he wanted from their faces.
Because Seapheus saw differently than everyone else......
In his eyes, the truck was surrounded by a dark mist, and from time to time a few twisted tentacles stretched outward, it was a truck full of the most terrifying things in the world!
What's going on here?
Panic took over Sievers's brain, he wanted to tell the news to the others, and he was worried that they would report him as crazy, and it wouldn't be a good thing to be in a mental hospital at this time, not to mention that he had to get the potion......
yes, it must have been because I saw those monsters before, but it was just a hallucination caused by some insanity.
As long as you can get the potion, you should be able to recover.
Aren't you on your way to pick up the potion?
Trembling and lighting a cigarette, the tobacco curled up and burned, and the slight dizziness as he exhaled the smoke barely eased Sieverus's state.
The rest of the journey was smooth, he didn't see anything he shouldn't see, and when the bus arrived, he went to the medical point with the others, this time he learned to lean the umbrella back, and the wind and rain did come from that direction.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
Until turning a street corner, several power armor about two meters high broke through the rain curtain and rushed across the street, followed by a brigade of heavily armed garrison soldiers, and a reconnaissance machine ball suspended in mid-air, constantly releasing high-power lights while illuminating most areas of the street.
Syphus immediately became nervous, it was obvious that it would not be an ordinary incident for the garrison to treat it like this.
It's just that he didn't hear the gunshots, and the soldiers were just patrolling the neighborhood, not like they were about to break out.
Moving forward, the lights of the medical center were very bright, and under this heavy rain and gloomy sky, it was like a lighthouse in the dark sea, which made people feel a lot more relaxed for no reason, and trotted past with the large army.
Unsurprisingly, a large number of people were crowded at the entrance of the medical point at this time, but fortunately, the government of Qianfan City had already responded, not only separating the crowd with physical iron bars, but also specially deploying a large number of androids and security personnel to cooperate.
However, the real eye-catching thing is the android army that stands still in the torrential rain, Sipheus has seen them on the news, three days ago the government of Thousand Sails City has reactivated the mothballed android army on the grounds of public safety, and has also placed a large order with the three major mechanical groups to make another batch in a short period of time.
Order is deliberately emphasized here.
Sievers stood in the crowd with an umbrella, not far in front of him a government-erected greenhouse, listening to the complaints of the others beside him.
The weather is bad, the medicine is too expensive, the rich have home delivery services, and the government simply doesn't care what the poor think...... Topics such as these are very popular among the people who have to wait in the rain around them.
I heard that someone on the Internet has started to sell limited rations of medicines, and the price is even higher, saying that he didn't give it to his family in exchange for money, but the shipment volume is not small, and he doesn't know that he thinks he has hundreds of relatives.
Obviously, some people got some potions through internal channels, and even doubled the price tenfold or even twenty times before selling them, while a large number of people in the satellite cities near Thousand Sails City still waved money and snapped up them.
In other words, Seapheus said that he had to intervene and talk to them, not criticizing reality, but he would definitely pull a few people out and scold.
But now, all he wants is to hurry in and inject the medicine, and then bring his family back with him.
The speed of the crowd is not fast, after all, it is a rainstorm weather, and the visibility is low, even if there are people who maintain order, it is inevitable to rub and rub against each other, Sievers lowered the handle of the umbrella, and the whole person shrank under the umbrella bone, and the wet and cold touch behind him has made Sievers very uncomfortable, and he can only use this method to avoid being drenched by more rain.
And just as Syphus shrank and moved forward, a trance appeared inexplicably, and the buzzing sound kept swirling in his mind, which made him a little uncontrollable and began to turn back and forth, smoking a cigarette in a big gulp, watching the rain outside drown out the smoke he spitted, and nausea and irritability kept coming to his heart.
"What's going on...... Damn, what's ......"
After a few whispers, Seapheus always felt that something was wrong, and unconsciously looked around, trying to find the source of the uneasiness.
So he saw a man under a street lamp not far away.
His outfit was not extraordinary, and it could even be said that it was ordinary enough to be seen everywhere, but Seapheus's gaze was fixed on him, to be exact, on his side.
Under the light of the street lamp, there was clearly only one person, but Seapheus saw more than a dozen phantoms with shadows!
What is that?
"Hey, hurry up, if you want to get drenched in the rain, hurry to the side, we don't have time to wait with you!"
The people at the back of the line shouted when they saw that Seapheus had not moved, and the latter had to turn and continue to follow, without thinking much about it.
Once you are at the medical point, the rest is simple, and modern medical technology ensures that the whole process is very smooth.
All Sypheus had to do was take out his resident card, follow the crowd after the scan was completed, walk through a machine one by one, put his arm in it, and then leave after a brief stinging pain and see the indicator light turn green, and then show the resident ID of other family members to get the medicine, and go back to inject himself.
Only one person per household is allowed to come and collect it, which is a government decision to prevent overcrowding.
As the crowd left the other side of the main entrance of the medical point, Sievers was carrying a plastic bag, and if it was psychological factors or the medicine that did play a role, Sievers felt much better, and the heavy rain outside didn't seem so unbearable.
"Hey, Annie, I'll go home at once, hurry up and prepare supper, all the best. ”
Sieverus, who was in a better mood, couldn't wait to report safety to his wife, but between words, he still couldn't hold back his gaze to look at the strange man under the street lamp.
He's still there.
Just beside the crowd of people, his hands were raised, and together with the looming figures around him, his body was emitting a black and purple mist.
The distance between the two sides was too far for Seapheus to look at and not understand what he was doing, but the goosebumps on his body reminded him of the impending danger in another way.
There was a pause.
The black umbrella in his hand floated into the sky, not because Sievers didn't pinch it tightly, but because a gust of wind suddenly blew around, not only him, but the surrounding crowd was also staggering, not only the umbrella, but some people even had the medicine bag in their hands blown away.
Exclamations rang out in the crowd, but Seapheth felt that all the voices were moving away from him at the moment.
On the contrary, inside his body, some kind of strange voice sounded.
Another gust of wind came from the opposite direction, and Sieverus staggered forward and fell to his knees, the next second a cold feeling spread all over his body, and the strong vomiting sensation made him retch, saliva mixed with cloudy liquid kept sliding from the corners of his mouth.
There's a problem with the potion!
This was the first thing that came to Sieverus's mind, for the simple reason that with the light of the medical point, he could see that the people on the other side were normal, only the people on their side were all on their knees.
"Everybody stay calm! Stand still and withdraw to the medical point in an orderly manner!"
The soldiers of the garrison sensed that something was wrong and began to maintain order.
"My hands, how can this be...... I seem to be sick......"
"There's a problem with the potion!"
"Monster, look over there, what's that!"
"Stay Calm !!"
"Woo~" (siren beeping)
The cacophony quickly caused chaos in front of the medical post, and Seapheus looked blankly as he saw the soldiers holding their guns to stabilize the situation, and the armed androids, glowing all over, began to run to the other side of the street.
Sievers only felt that his consciousness was moving away from him, and he fell to the ground, and his vision that should have been blurred was much clearer at this time, perhaps because of the changes in his body, and his body, which was already close to collapse, emerged from nowhere with a force that forced ...... That's right, this force drove Sievers's body in an irresistible gesture.
Forced him to get up and leaned towards the empty central floor on the other side of the outer street.
Seaphus didn't understand what was going on, and his gaze couldn't help but linger on the central void that had suddenly darkened in the distance.
No, that's not the central empty layer.
Something has come to you!
For no apparent reason, Sipheus realized this, and he desperately wanted to know what was going on, but when he saw the scene in the central void, he wanted to blind all these eyes.
Countless deep, indescribable objects coalesced, as if they had come from another dimension, where they converged and were suspended in the remaining black and white world.
Yes~
It was a trembling egg-like object that condensed all the evils of the world, and countless pitch-black tentacles extended from its rough and wrinkled surface, piercing straight into the towering buildings on all sides, like a vicious beast from the abyss trying to build its own nest in this steel forest!
Zhu Jue first arrived in the city of thousand sails through the prophetic scene seen through the divination method.
After all, it was achieved with an irreversible attitude!
"Let your people withdraw, now, immediately, never think about bombing it, it can't be useful, this egg is probably also something between reality and another world. ”
In the office of the epidemic prevention center, Virginia stared at the picture on the video, her face was extremely ugly,
"It is by no means comparable to ordinary spiritual pollution source monsters, even I have never seen a vision of this level, don't make any fearless sacrifices until the support arrives!"
She guessed that the Ouroboros should have taken action before the arrival of the Archaeological Society's reinforcements, so she kept urging them to speed up while also deploying heavy troops outside the various medical points, and even took out some extremely valuable items from the club's warehouse in advance to assist the operation, in order to ensure that there were no big surprises before the support arrived.
However, Virginia never expected that the Ouroboros Organization would directly launch an attack on the first day of the potion, and also summoned this hysterical horror existence that made people have no intention of resisting and had to find ways to protect themselves!
"There's a problem with the potion...... It's all traps, it's all Ouroboros Organize's traps...... What does the Ouroboros want to do with those who have been injected with the drug, and now it has been nearly 10 hours since the drug was distributed, and at least hundreds of thousands of people in 40 communities have been injected ......"
Unlike Virginia, Newcastle's focus has always been on the potion, and when he sees the people who look like the walking dead outside the medical center, he immediately realizes that the potion, which seems to be the solution to the current situation, has some huge hidden danger that they have not been able to study.
"Ms. Virginia, I'm afraid it's too late to talk about this now......"
The head of the security department, Bulvo, finally came back to his senses at this time, and said in a difficult tone through the communication network on the desktop.
While the officials of Thousand Sails City were horrified by this strange existence that suddenly appeared, in another part of Thousand Sails City, the emotions of the Ouroboros organization went to the other extreme.
In the midst of the rainstorm, dozens of black-robed people stood on top of a building, Nohara was at the head, and everyone behind him fell to their knees, chanting low and complex incantations with fanatical faces.
The other big man and his subordinates were not here at this time, and Nohara was naturally the leader, and he looked at the dream he had been planning for many years in the central void to finally come true, and the four words of smugness were almost written on his face.
Raising his hands high, the furrows on his face seemed to stretch a lot, and he half-squinted his eyes, enjoying the incomparable satisfaction of this moment born of madness.
Only one last step is missing, and he will become an existence that mortals can only look up to.
Take control of the city and save those souls so they can enjoy eternal life in the kingdom of God!
"The kingdom of God has come, and we will do the will of God in our place, and we will become the most godly servants of all, ...... for the coming of the Great Being."
The words that stopped abruptly, Nohara Yishin was like a duck that had been choked by the neck, staring at the central void, his face was pale, and it was difficult to say another word.
What did he see?
......
The wailing, the roaring, the beeping of the garrison's airboats, the roar of gunfire,
In front of the medical point, Sievers's body began to tremble, his mouth grew to an exaggerated amplitude, his eyes seemed to be forcibly stretched open, and he stared at it in horror, only to feel that his body was going to completely collapse in the next second.
However, just as the madness was about to engulf him, in the black and white world in front of him, behind the black egg to be exact, a deep purple light suddenly appeared, and it shattered the deep and desperate space in a devastating manner.
In the next second, this purple light turned into a huge palm, shattering the void, clutching the terrifying black egg in front of everyone.
Crush it!
As the purple light became more and more intense, an existence that was extremely familiar to a considerable part of the people of Thousand Sails City gradually manifested.
Another scene took the place of the original world, and Seapheus looked at it all in amazement, and the presence that appeared before him at this time had just seen it in the book not long ago.
He thought it was just a myth and a legend!
After a long time, Sieverus fell to his knees again.
This time it wasn't because of insanity, but because of the incomparably reverent prostrations of the being that appeared in the central void.
The people around him seemed to have a heart in their hearts at this moment, and shouted together:
Welcome to King Yama!
