Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Snowflakes
Judging from the satellite map of the mobile phone, the overall layout of this area should be similar to a square, with four old roads into the housing area in the south, east and west, and in the center of the housing area is a garden square, which seems to have an old-fashioned fountain.
The alley where Chen Xian and the others entered the housing area was South Lane, which was also the route used by those investigators to enter the housing area before.
The total length is about one kilometer, and Chen Xian and the others have walked nearly two-thirds of the way without any danger, and they will soon reach the most central location of this housing area.
"Boss, you can't underestimate my number eight!" Lu Yisheng said unconvinced, holding the shoddy wooden man in his hand, and the expression on his face was very angry, "If you knew how powerful my number eight was, you wouldn't say that!" ”
"What is it for?" Chen Xian walked in front, and seemed to have lost interest in the strange things in Lu Yisheng's hand, and asked without looking back, "Used to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts?" ”
"It's not just about exorcising evil spirits and killing ghosts!" Lu Yisheng was very interested when he talked about this, and his expression was very excited, like a child showing toys to adults, "It is equivalent to one of my doppelgangers!" ”
Doppelganger?
Chen Xian glanced back with some curiosity, but it was only after such a cold look that he realized that there were many strange things in the alley.
Behind them, there were many ashes that looked like burning paper, falling from the sky.
Like burning snowflakes.
They float down with an ominous aura, and when they touch the ground, they instantly turn into black dust, and then quickly dissolve into the air in some incomprehensible way, erasing all traces left in this world.
"What??" Lu Yisheng also noticed this anomaly, and after looking back, he raised his head and looked at the sky, his expression became more and more confused, "Is this snowing??" ”
"It's not snow, it looks like something else." Chen Xian frowned tightly, seeing these embers falling like heavy snow, he felt an inexplicable sense of danger in his heart, "There is temperature..... It's like freshly burned paper ashes. ”
Without waiting for Chen Xian to say anything, he only heard a dripping electronic sound around him, a bit like the sound made by an old-fashioned computer, especially harsh in the silent alleyway.
Following this sound, Chen Xian found that the electronic sound was the wooden man in Lu Yisheng's hand.
With the fast-paced electronic prompt sound, the wooden man's stomach lit up with a red light, Lu Yisheng pressed his hand on the wooden man's back a few times, only to see that the red light turned into a line of numbers, which looked similar to the numbers displayed on the electronic watch.
【100/62】
"! The yin particles are exceeded! I'll just say how I feel uncomfortable up and down......" Lu Yisheng hurriedly put his backpack on the ground, and quickly rummaged out two masks that looked like gas masks, which didn't look like standard equipment distributed by the Secret Bureau, and there was a concave pattern on the side, which seemed to be some kind of logo.
What do you say about this logo pattern...... Although the font style is very artistic...... But there is a strange obscenity in its words.
The pattern is three big characters.
Master masturbator.
"Boss, put it on! This is my latest mask artifact! It is absolutely easy to use in places where the yin and yang particles exceed the standard! Lu Yisheng handed a mask to Chen Xian, hurriedly put it on for himself, and then gave Chen Xian a thumbs up, "I named it Deep Breath Close Your Eyes, this name has depth, right?" ”
“.......”
Chen Xian didn't know that Lu Yisheng was a well-known science and technology nerd in the Inhuman Circle, although he began systematic religious practice since he was a child, but he firmly believed in science and technology to change the world, so many of his research projects can be linked to modern technology, but ...... The vast majority of Inhumans thought he was idle.
Isn't it good to cling to the lineage of your family and practice well to increase your "Taoism"? Isn't it idle to mess up some messy things, and sometimes waste months researching things that are not practical?
Chen Xian put the mask on his face according to Lu Yisheng's prompts, although with his physical fitness, he could survive in an environment where the yin and yang particles exceeded the standard, but he was always a little uncomfortable, and sometimes it was as uncomfortable as if he had respiratory tract inflammation.
As soon as he put on this special breathing mask, Chen Xian felt much more comfortable, although his breathing was a little unsmooth, but the symptoms caused by the excessive yin and yang particles did not appear.
"Okay, right?" Lu Yisheng asked with a grin, his face full of pride, "This is a magic weapon that I spent half a year researching, although my family said that I took off my pants and farted, but I think it...... It's still more convenient to wear a mask, and it's much easier to use than the previous need to draw talismans all over the body, and the effect is no worse than the mask issued by the bureau. ”
"You're amazing." Chen Xian touched the cold breathing mask, his eyes were very surprised, "I can research this thing by myself, I want to be impressed by you." ”
Lu Yisheng did not leave a good impression on Chen Xian, basically similar to an unreliable second-rate son, but at this moment, it was indeed as Chen Xian said, he was impressed by Lu Xiansheng.
"Hey...... How can there be ......" Lu Yisheng was happy and silly, he could hear it completely, Chen Xian's tone of speech was not polite or flattering, but really said from the bottom of his heart, like him, who is often hit, Chen Xian's words are like a rare warm sun in winter for him, and the warmth is just right without being pretentious.
Lu Yisheng rarely showed a shy look, but he was screaming in his heart-
it!
Idols praise me for being amazing!
When you get back, you have to write it in your diary!
This is a rare honor in life!
"What's wrong?" Chen Xian saw that Lu Yisheng had been smirking, and couldn't help but ask.
"Nope! It's nothing! Lu Yisheng hurriedly shook his head, "Boss, if you like this mask, I'll give you one!" When I go back, I'll give you some special filters, one can last for half a year! ”
Lu Yisheng has always wanted to prove himself, he wants to prove it to those strangers who look down on him, so that they can know that their research is not taking off their pants and farting, nor is it wasting time doing some useless work...... Although it is undeniable that he has done some meaningless research projects, he is happy!
He likes to immerse himself in the atmosphere of research, and he likes to share his research projects with the people around him, but over the years, there are very few people who can look at him directly.
Take this mask as an example.
This kind of protective breathing mask is sold in the Secret Bureau or the Yin Market, and even members of the Secret Bureau can get it for free in some cases, so many people heard that Lu Yisheng spent half a year researching a breathing mask, and they all thought that he was an idler and a fool.
Is it stupid?
Lu Yisheng never felt stupid, on the contrary, his ideas were more advanced than many Inhumans, he was just using these research projects to accumulate experience for himself, laying the foundation for larger and more cutting-edge research in the future, and he firmly believed that one day he would be able to "refine" the tools that would make those who looked down on him stunned.
But this kind of thinking is only understood by himself, and it is only a joke to say it, except for his mother, no one can understand him at all, including his father, he will not understand him, he only feels that the family has unfortunately given birth to a son who is not doing his job, and sooner or later one day Lu Banmen's side door left technique will be broken in his hands.
So from a certain point of view, Lu Yisheng is also a lonely person.
Although he always has a bunch of "friends" around him who like to listen to him run the train with his mouth full, he has never felt the feeling of being respected for his ideals, until now-
Chen Xian's heartfelt words made him feel this way suddenly, so under his happy expression, there was more of a long-lost sense of satisfaction, he also wanted to be recognized and praised, who is not a baby anymore?
"These things don't seem to have any effect on people, they will only make the Yin Qi particles in the vicinity exceed the standard......."
Chen Xian raised his head calmly, glanced at the sky, and was not afraid of these things that seemed to be embers, and gently spread his palms to catch a few "snowflakes" falling from the sky.
Each black snowflake has a vein left by the flames, so that they don't feel hot when they touch the skin, and only a faint residual temperature can be felt, which seems to be harmless and no threat to people, but gradually, Chen Xian felt a familiar aura from these black snowflakes.
It was an aura that cannot be described in words.
Ominous, evil, and unsettling.
These embers in the sky seemed to indicate that some terrible phenomenon was about to appear, and as these ominous black snowflakes continued to fall, the number displayed on the wooden figure made by Lu Yisheng also began to beat rapidly.
.......
【100/70】
.......
【100/80】
.......
【100/90】
.......
Chen Xian suddenly noticed something, turned his head to the front very abruptly, looked at the deep and dark alleyway, he clenched the meat saw knife in his hand, and said softly to Lu Yisheng.
"Be careful, there's something coming."
