"What kind of monster is this?"

Natsuhito wondered if he would step on that hand when he passed by, but when he got closer, he saw the plaid shirt on his arm.

This kind of shirt full of commotion is usually worn by people on the beach by the sea, and among the people he knows, there happen to be people who like this style of dressing.

Without time to hesitate, the man had already lifted the manhole cover, and beckoned frantically for fear that Xia Ren would miss it.

Xia Ren weighed it and chose to drill deep into the manhole cover.

Outside are a vast number of townspeople who have gone crazy and mutated, and even inside the manhole covers are enemies, and there may not be as many as on the streets.

"Bell!"

The manhole cover was closed, and the townspeople who came in all directions bumped into each other.

Losing their target, they wandered the streets blankly for a while, then gradually dispersed.

……

……

The air in the sewers was mixed up, and the walls of the wells around them were covered with slippery, damp and suspicious substances, but fortunately, the townspeople hadn't used the sewers for a while, and there was no sewage flowing in them, otherwise the environment would have been even worse.

If it weren't for the escape for his life, Xia Ren probably wouldn't have come to this kind of place in his life.

The light of the flashlight was a little dazzling at the bottom of the dark well, and the real estate agent was wearing a colorful plaid shirt on the upper body, a pair of knee-length loose shorts on the bottom, and a pair of slippers on his feet.

However, at this time, the real estate agent was very embarrassed, his whole body was dirty, his black hair was messier than a bird's nest, Xia Ren could see that both of his arms were wrapped in bandages, and the disgusting stench came from under the bandages, making Xia Ren couldn't help but take a small step back.

He definitely had old sigil paper on his arm.

Although Xia Ren also had two stickers on his arms, and even a few in the pocket behind his buttocks, but the stink on his body, can it be called stinky? The smell of others is the real smell.

"It's disgusting."

Xia Ren said without scruples.

The real estate agent smiled helplessly, guessed what the reason was, and said, "Little Brother Xia is really ...... It's easy to say such hurtful things as soon as you meet. ”

He said, not knowing if he was pretending or not, and covered his chest.

In two simple sentences, Xia Ren tentatively realized that he had no ill will towards him, turned to the topic, and asked seriously:

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"And what's the deal with that aberration, why did it appear in front of me so coincidentally?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Little Brother Xia."

The real estate agent looked up at the manhole cover above and inferred that the townspeople had left, leaning on the wall with one hand and saying, "This is not the place to talk, I'll tell you about your doubts later." ”

Xia Ren nodded.

The agent then crouched down and stuck his head into the filthy pipe next to him.

"Didn't you go up?"

Xia Ren didn't react.

The real estate agent turned around and said, "It's all over when you go up, so let's climb quickly." ”

After he finished speaking, he took the lead in getting in.

Xia Ren hesitated for a moment and followed his ass as well.

The sewage pipe here has existed for a long time, it is made of reinforced concrete, with a diameter of only 0.8 meters, plus the silt at the bottom of the pipe, the space inside is even narrower, but fortunately, this well is a rainwater well, and there is nothing else in it except silt, which makes Xia Ren accept a little.

It didn't take long for the two to find another wellhead, lift the manhole cover, and climb up.

It's a small hospital, only three stories high, and it seems that it has been around for a long time, and all kinds of facilities seem to be a little old, and if it is not properly maintained, many things may not be able to be used.

In broad daylight, the door of the hospital was closed and a lock was tied to it.

The whole town was not necessarily free of people, and the hospital was out of service.

The real estate agent climbed in through the window next to him, he was very tired, and when he entered, he sat directly against the corner, not wanting to move again.

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on now?"

Xia Ren simply tidied up his clothes, but the dirt on them could not be easily removed.

"Then ...... Let's start with the city of Sori. ”

The real estate agent exhaled, took out a ballpoint pen-sized test tube-like thing from his arms, opened the seal, and sucked on the liquid inside, only then did he regain some of his spirits.

Xia Ren noticed that he was drinking dark water, but as a B-level investigator, it was not particularly unusual to have it.

The real estate agent didn't say anything directly, but first asked a question: "Xia Ren, how serious do you think this matter is?" ”

This was the first time he had called himself by his full name in the chat, and Xia Ren heard an unprecedented seriousness from his tone: "How serious......"

This is a somewhat difficult question to answer.

If they are dealing with a faction that is simply polluted and affects their minds, so that they hear the whispers from the abyss, and thus develop fanatical beliefs, it is actually easy to solve.

With such large and small factions, the Foundation has to eliminate dozens or even hundreds, and even some relatively weak factions every year, and the investigators will easily eliminate them in the process of investigation.

But this time the situation was obviously a little different, and the most troublesome things were no longer infidels, but those horrible fungi that even Shogues could infect.

Without waiting for Xia Ren to finish speaking, the real estate agent said the answer himself: "According to my experience, once the fungus in the hands of the pagans breaks out, it will quickly evolve into a plague of the same level as atypical insect phobia, and spread throughout the Blue Star. ”

Hearing this, Xia Ren's pupils shrank, and he quickly had a concept in his mind.

"How is that possible!"

Xia Ren's first reaction was to deny it.

He had witnessed the outbreak of atypical phobia, so he knew the severity of it, and even with the combined efforts of the Foundation and the Superman Society, to this day, atypical phobia has not been resolved, and even the rate of transmission has been difficult.

If a new type of third-level plague emerges at such a juncture, it will bring a catastrophic blow to the entire human society!

The real estate agent quietly watched Xia Ren's reaction and said, "I had the same idea as you at first. ”

He sighed: "When I first accepted this mission, I thought it was just a new faction, but when I really started to investigate, I found that the whereabouts of these heretics were extremely strange, and I almost lost clues several times, until I followed them to Sori City, when I checked the information of the police station and investigated the young couple who were sacrificed, I accidentally found that many people have disappeared in Sori City in recent times, and these people have a characteristic, that is, they live at the bottom of the society, And they all have bad problems with gambling or drug abuse. ”

"I smelled something unusual and, following the clues, locked up a city councilor."

"When you first arrived in Solrey, I was at the councillor's house, fighting the infidels."

"Before I entered that basement, I never imagined that things would come to this point."
