Chapter 318: Well, Good Boy (6000)
Harukawa Shirakawa led Selena and Shizune Nishio through the streets of this no-man's city - as for the Soma universe, which was easily overlooked, it was left in the cabin next to the car to prevent some blind people from taking the food in the trunk.
Of course, it is no longer appropriate to describe the city as a "city without man".
In the streets and alleys, in those originally empty houses, people who did not want to live here have been inhabited one after another.
There wasn't much else in the city, but there were plenty of empty rooms.
It's just that these people only dare to look out cautiously through the window.
Although they were a little surprised by the appearance of Bai Chuanqing and the others, they didn't dare to come out and take the initiative to talk.
The reason is very simple, after entering this world for a period of time, many survivors have already been beaten by reality, knowing that people outside may not be good people.
Another reason is that they are already weak enough, and they don't have the strength to take the initiative to find them.
If it weren't for the ZF search and rescue personnel, people wouldn't have wasted their efforts.
During this time, there were actually some survivors, disguised as ZF personnel, and tricked them into handing over the food - for details, please refer to some thugs in country M who disguised themselves as free inspections in the current situation.
As for the clothes, they were naturally taken from the police station and the ZF building in the city.
Although there are some differences with the existing styles, a rough look from a distance can be seen by these ordinary people.
As a result, the survivors' wariness of strangers began to become more and more intense.
If you don't come up with something to prove your identity at the first time, it's impossible to even get close.
Having said that, the purpose of Bai Chuanqing's walking on the road was not to help these people.
Thinking about his previous attitude towards the group of survivors, you can see that Shirakawa Haru's personality is still similar to before, and he is a more selfish person.
But if you explain it from another angle, if you can eliminate the existence of this world as soon as possible, wouldn't the people trapped in it be able to be rescued?
Naturally, Bai Chuanqing was not hanging out, he was looking for it.
Find the heart of this world.
Although, this space encompasses the entire city, and also includes a considerable area around the city.
It's not many times bigger than the small room that Shirakawa Haru entered earlier.
But come to think of it, since the way this world is composed is similar, then there must be something similar to the core here.
The last time Shirakawa Haru escaped from that space, he almost broke the walls and floor of that room, and finally found a small, pitch-black presence in the wall.
It has a strong vitality and vitality similar to that of a living being.
It was when Shirakawa Haru fed it to "gluttony" that it completely dissipated that space.
Now it seems that there must be such a presence in this city.
So what Shirakawa has to do now is to find it and destroy it!
Unlike then, Bai Chuanqing's perception ability has become I don't know how many times stronger, and now to destroy that kind of spirit, there is no need to "gluttony" out of the horse, and the tentacles should be able to be easily eliminated.
Speaking of "gluttony", nested in Bai Chuanqing's body, it shrank in a corner, and shook slightly, as if expressing resentment, "Master, you still remember me!" ”
During this time, the appearance rate of "gluttony" was indeed much lower.
After all, for the current Bai Chuanqing, he has the ability to "gluttony", and it is even stronger!
Even if "Gluttony" followed him and got a lot of strengthening, but the speed at which it became stronger was not at all comparable to Bai Chuanqing himself!
It's normal to be gradually left out in the cold.
Bai Chuanqing was reminded of "gluttony", which made Bai Chuanqing think of another way to use it.
He summoned it directly and handed it to Selena beside him.
"Qing?"
The silver-haired girl tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what Haru was trying to do when she suddenly handed her the book.
You can't let her study hard at this time, right?
It's just that she took a look or two, and she immediately saw the difference in this book.
To be honest, it's not the first time Selena has seen "gluttony".
When she and Shirakawa Harum first met, on that desert island, she had seen this strange book with that pink color on the cover, appearing next to Shirakawa Haru.
At that time, she still wondered how Shirakawa Harushi had brought it with her.
Later, I slowly understood that it must have been done through a special storage method - in another world, such means are not a lot at all.
But now that you suddenly take out this book, what does it mean?
"It's called 'Gluttony', and it's a very useful book, and if you wear it, you'll be more able to protect yourself."
Harushi Shirakawa briefly introduced "gluttony".
He originally thought of giving it to Nishio Jing as self-preservation, but after all, he still has a deeper relationship with Selena, plus "gluttony" hides secrets about another world, and Shirakawa Harushi hasn't thought about whether to tell Nishio Jing or not.
So, this is the choice that was made.
On the cover of "Gluttony", there are words that only Harukawa Shirakawa and Selena can understand.
[Lord, master! You're going to abandon your most loyal servant! Don't be a master, "gluttony" I still want to be with you! 】
At the end of the words, several tears are drawn, as if to express a very sad and sad mood.
"I don't want you, but I need you to help me complete this difficult task for the time being, and protect the two of them from harm, do you hear?"
Bai Chuanqing was a little crying and laughing, the current intelligence of "gluttony" has been strengthened to a considerable level.
Even such a tearful symbolic expression will be used.
And hearing Bai Chuanqing's words, "gluttony" finally became less nervous, and he swore an oath.
[Good master, you must complete the task!] 】
The change in the text above also caused Selena and Nishio Jing to be a little surprised.
Hearing Shirakawa Haru's words that were obviously explaining it, my heart was even more surprised—this book...... Is it alive?
Shizune Nishio had also seen "Gluttony" once, and when she used her earrings to fight back with Shirakawa Haru, it was this book that blocked her attack.
Even if she couldn't read the words above, she could realize that it was definitely not an ordinary book.
Thinking of this, Nishio Jing looked at Shirakawa Qing with a little resentful eyes.
In front of this teenager who is much younger than her, how can so many things that should be incredible become reasonable?
The so-called "strange or not" probably refers to this situation, right?
Selena was a little surprised by the text that appeared on the cover of "Gluttony", she hadn't seen the spell for a long time, and she still missed it a little!
"Hello."
Selena said hello to "Gluttony" and gently poked the cover of "Gluttony" with her fingertips.
The touch that came from above turned out to be an unexpected Q bomb, which surprised Selena.
[It's quite comfortable to the touch!] 】
Bai Chuanqing glanced at Selena with helpless eyes.
Selena's character really has a bit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
I think that at the beginning, when Bai Chuanqing first got "gluttony", where did he dare to touch it so directly, and he was very wary of it.
But thinking about it, if Bai Chuanqing knew that the later "gluttony" would turn into the humiliating appearance he is now, he probably wouldn't have been afraid of it at all.
The cover of "Gluttony" automatically turned in Selena's direction.
looked at Bai Chuanqing again, as if aware of the relationship between her and her master, Bai Chuanqing—not just the relationship between lovers, but the connection between the blood of the two.
[Hello, master, I am the most loyal servant of my master, "gluttony", this is the name given to me by my master. 】
[I will definitely protect you!] 】
Such words have appeared on the cover of "Gluttony" one after another.
Selena's little face couldn't help but blush slightly.
The reason, naturally, is because of the title of "master mother".
Although Bai Chuanqing has already confirmed a romantic relationship with her, usually, only Bai Chuanqing will see her as his girlfriend.
Bai Chuanqing's parents don't treat Selena as their daughter-in-law as much as their daughter-in-law, but more like they treat her as their goddaughter!
As for Ayane Inoue's rivals, not to mention it.
It is almost impossible to recognize her identity.
Yes, it was the first time that she directly admitted the experience of her "housemother" like "gluttony".
So she was a little happy.
"Well, good boy."
Selena touched the cover of "Gluttony" again, as if to compliment it.
"Gluttony" shook slightly, in response.
It's like a husky wagging its tail at its owner.
Harukawa Shirakawa was speechless.
But he can also understand why "gluttony" will be closer to Selena.
Obviously, this has something to do with Selena's aura similar to him.
After all, Selena has become a dependent of Shirakawa Haru, and it is estimated that she also has a special suppressive power for "gluttony", and staying by Selena's side may also allow it to get some benefits.
Bai Chuanqing thought about it casually, and didn't delve into it.
In this case, it's not the time to think too much about it.
"Let's go."
Harukawa Shirakawa took her two daughters and continued to walk on the road.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of street scene of an empty city does have a special charm.
Just imagine, in that kind of bustling big city, the most prosperous street, one day, suddenly there is no one.
All the shops had their doors open, but the people inside, whether they were clerks or customers, were gone.
All that was left was the steaming coffee, the cars in the middle of the road, and the verdant potted plants in front of the store......
The unique silence and emptiness of the environment really gives people a special feeling.
The city here still maintains the same scene as it did more than 30 years ago.
The sense of astonishment that has traveled through time and space, and the real sense that they are right in front of you, are intricately intertwined.
A unique atmosphere is formed.
Not to mention Selena, who has not even fully seen the scene in the city, even people like Harushi Shirakawa and Shizune Nishio who live in modern society will be surprised by this scene.
If you don't take into account the danger it can be at all times, it's even a great tourist attraction.
But then again, the only person who can have this kind of idea at this time is probably Shirakawa Haru.
Of course, he wasn't just admiring the sights around him.
I was carefully feeling where the source of the uneasiness was.
Even Harukawa Shirakawa has improved her perception many times, but now she can't accurately locate the core of the city.
You can only confirm a general direction, and then continue to move in that direction, and then continue to make corrections.
Harukawa Shirakawa certainly doesn't look like a headless fly.
In his hand, he was holding a map of the city.
It can already be confirmed that this is indeed Saitama Prefecture.
The entire county is in this strange space, and outside the city, the roads that originally led to various places will only return to the city itself from another direction.
The role of the map, in addition to discerning directions, can also let Shirakawa know where they are in the city.
So that they can get back to where the car is.
There is naturally a reason why Shirakawa did not drive forward.
Through the words of the Soma universe, as well as her own attempts, Harushi Shirakawa knows.
The strange appearance of those slime is not irregular.
For example, if you are too dense with a crowd, or if you move quickly, it will be easy to attract that kind of thing.
And it's clear that there are far more silt monsters in the city than in the suburbs.
To put it simply, if you drive a car fast through the city, there is a good chance that you will attract that kind of monster.
Although Shirakawa Haru herself is not afraid, she is also confident that she can protect Selena and Nishio Jing beside her.
But that thing can eat anything.
It is very likely that the car will be dissolved before you know it.
If it's just the vehicle, of course it's nothing.
There are a lot of abandoned cars with keys still in them, just parked on the side of the road, and it's not hard to get a new one—that's how the thugs got their hands on it.
As for why those people weren't targeted by the monsters, the speed of their vehicles was very slow.
The IQ of the bad people is not very high, but the importance of their own life is not low at all, so they will not make such a mistake.
What Shirakawa Haru was worried about was that the precious food in the trunk had been destroyed.
And if you attract a large number of slime monsters, even if it's Shirakawa Haru, it will take a little time to solve, so it's better to walk fast!
As for destroying all the slime weirdness?
Harukawa felt that this was a very unrealistic thing.
Regardless of the amount of negative emotions that have accumulated in Saitama Prefecture in that era and over the past 30 years, we will leave it alone.
Just this period of time, these "missing people" who came to this world unexpectedly.
The negative emotions they generated, and the number of slime monsters they turned into, was already quite a lot.
And if it continues to develop every day, there will be new negative emotions every day, and new monsters will be born.
- To put it simply, this is exactly the analogy that Bai Chuanqing used before, those pitch-black slimes are more like the digestive juices in this world, and the black spirit body that is hidden is the real soul, or the main body.
As long as the main body is not destroyed for a day, even if a lot of slime is resolved, this world will still be like this, and the slime can still regenerate.
In this way, doesn't Shirakawa Haru's actions lose their original meaning?
Moreover, Harukawa Shirakawa has a feeling that she doesn't like the slime, as if if she keeps devouring them like this, some kind of change will happen to her body.
Shirakawa Qing was still very confident in his intuition, so he didn't try to do that again.
Instead of destroying the Sludge Monsters, he was looking for their roots.
Bai Chuanqing's gaze stayed on a building in front of him.
From the exterior and the words written on the signs, Shirakawa could tell that this building should be a department store type shopping mall.
Unlike today, more than 30 years ago, department stores were a very new type of shopping mall, or they were in the midst of a boom.
And now, I don't know how many such malls have closed.
The name of this department store is Weiss Department Store, which sounds like a transliterated name.
The reason why Bai Chuanqing paid a little attention to this place was because he sensed something special in it.
"Let's go inside."
The two women nodded lightly and followed behind Shirakawa Qing.
Even though they didn't feel anything, out of trust in Shirakawa Haru, they still didn't ask anything.
On the first floor of the department store, there are some expensive jewelry booths.
It seems that it is arranged like this out of some kind of psychological suggestion, and Shirakawa Haru is not a professional, so naturally he is not very clear.
But looking at the traces on those counters, Bai Chuanqing was wrinkled-
Here, it seems that someone else has taken the lead.
The doors of the counters have been opened from the inside, and many accessories and luxury goods have disappeared.
Some of the counters seemed to be locked, but the first to come directly broke the glass violently, and the broken glass shards scattered all over the ground.
Bai Chuanqing was also a little helpless when he saw this.
[Is this the legendary asking for money and not dying? 】
[At this time, do you still have the heart to take these things? 】
Bai Chuanqing complained and complained, but he still knew very well in his heart that the more times like this, there were really many people who would do this.
People, after all, are greedy animals.
Again, the world in this small city is not the real end times, it can only be regarded as a miniature end time environment.
People fear that there will be, fear that there will be, and there may be despair.
But they are still very clear that the outside world is actually normal.
It's not like that kind of zombie apocalypse, gold bars and jewelry have no effect at all.
What if the things in this world can be taken out?
With so much gold and silver jewelry, you must be able to make a lot of money, right?
This is a windfall, if you don't make it, you won't make it in vain!
And this is what they picked up, it was originally not wanted, one is not robbing and the other is not stealing, and there is no psychological burden at all.
ZF wouldn't be thinking about taking them back, would it?
- If you really want to take it back, protest! Just hire a lawyer!
Many people may have such thoughts in their hearts.
So, to do such a thing, it's actually not a surprise.
Bai Chuanqing only thought about it a little, and he didn't bother to care about the lives and deaths of those people.
But now we need to care about whether there are other people in this department store.
Shirakawa looked at the elevator leading upstairs, even if someone else existed, it was nothing.
And that special aura should be on this floor!
The elevator is, of course, out of power.
Fortunately, this is the kind of ramp-type elevator, so you can go up even if there is no power.
If there was only an elevator that went straight up and down, Bai Chuanqing would probably have to jump on it by himself.
On the second floor, you can buy some daily toiletries, toothpaste, toothbrushes, facial cleansers, and some cosmetics.
Judging from Bai Chuanqing's eyes, it can also be seen that a lot of these things have also been taken away.
Continue upstairs.
All the way to the top five floors - in those days, five-story buildings were not very short.
This is the kind of place that sells bed utensils and some underwear.
But as soon as he walked here, Harukawa Shirakawa faintly heard a sobbing sound.
It's like a girl's voice.
"No..... Don't ......"
Not far away, there are such words.
"Thorn-"
The sound of the cloth being torn was very clear.
Bai Chuanqing hurriedly ran in that direction.
I saw a man who was dragging a delicate girl to a big bed, and his clothes were torn open so wide, and the spring light leaked out.
What is going to happen next is obvious when you think about it.
Seeing this, Nishio Jing and Selena both looked cold.
As a woman, the most annoying one, a certain person is such a person, and the level of annoyance is probably the same as that of the fat house.
Just when they were about to rush up and deal with each other.
The strange change suddenly happened to the man who was about to commit the atrocity.
A faint smell of decay emanated from his body, and his expression gradually began to become extremely painful.
"You..... You ....."
He looked at the girl in front of him, as if he wanted to say something, but the sound that came out of his throat had turned into a roar like a beast.
In the face of the man's change, the girl was also very frightened and opened her eyes wide.
But at this moment, she also saw Bai Chuanqing and the others not far away, and the expression of the rest of her life flashed in her eyes, and she ignored the spring light that appeared on her body.
Desperately ran in the direction of Bai Chuan Qing.
Still shouting.
"Help, save me!"
Selena and Nishio are preparing to step forward to protect her.
But at this time, Bai Chuanqing's eyes were slightly cold......
