Brewster Murphy flew back to his residence in Seattle.

It's just that today he didn't follow the rules of work and rest as usual.

Instead, he stood on the balcony of the study, looking at the scenery outside, looking at the courtyard outside the luxury villa, the lake was as horizontal as a mirror, and the shore reflected the lights of the huge villa......

The majestic old man on crutches still couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, he was already dying, his body was getting worse and worse, and the feeling of getting weaker and weaker had gradually become his nightmare—

Every midnight is like a shadow, holding on to him, no matter what, you can't get rid of him.

He was afraid that he would never wake up again after he fell asleep...... That kind of horror, that kind of horror, is something he absolutely can't accept!

It was only now that he finally saw hope of escaping that nightmare. Because the technicians analyzed the source file, it was not possible to reverse engineer it and directly restore the complete results of the STEM system.

But what they make is that the technology is very likely to be true.

"Nope! It has to be true! ”

Brewster Murphy gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in a low voice, but there was a sharp look like an eagle in his cloudy eyes, which seemed to fully show his resolute determination.

That's right, even if there is only one possibility, he has to grasp it, let alone the relatively big possibility now!

The next thing to do is to do whatever it takes, be sure to grab that miraculous technology as quickly as possible, and definitely not procrastinate! Otherwise, he wasn't sure how long he would be able to live!

Is there any hope of waiting for that opportunity not to die, and then perish before the dawn of heaven?

"Harriman, you're here......" Sensing the movement behind him, the old man quickly reined in his emotions, regained his majestic expression, and turned around and said in a deep voice.

He had informed his eldest son to come to see him before, because there were some things that had to be explained, and when it came to such an important issue, he would not believe anyone but his own son.

There is also the fact that he needs to think about the heir, after all, he is not old enough for him to continue to drag on.

And now Brewster Murphy is still considering the possibility of transferring consciousness to a new brain, a new body, or the possibility of uploading his consciousness to some kind of device, some system.

Therefore, it is naturally necessary for him to deal with some necessary things, and it is impossible to wait until he loses his current body and may live in the system, and then remotely issues instructions to control the family and deal with the affairs of the consortium, right?

......However, when the old man turned back majestically and said the opening words to his eldest son in a deep voice, he realized that there was no one behind him.

To be precise, there was no one else in the whole study, only he was standing on the balcony.

After being stunned for a long time, the old man frowned, could he have just had a delusion? However, at his age, his old eyes are dizzy, deaf and deaf, his physical functions are declining, and his sensory ability is more or less problematic.

This is also very normal, and having money does not stop this natural process, at most it can only delay its arrival and make him better than the average person of his age.

But it's just some, and there won't be any qualitative changes.

Shaking his head, Brewster Murphy turned his head back to look outside at the night scene. But only the next moment, he felt it again, and there was something behind him staring at him faintly.

“…… Who is it! The feeling was so clear that the old man's body stiffened for a moment, but he immediately turned around and shouted angrily.

This time, however, there was nothing at all. The door to the study was closed, and the good soundproofing made it impossible for him to hear the outside sounds, and at this moment the air was eerily silent, as if a needle had dropped.

The study was spacious, but there weren't many dead spots or shadows to hide, and all the senses told the old man that there was no one else in the room but him.

After several minutes of glaring at the old man, the old man's rapid breathing finally slowed down slightly.

He let out a long sigh of relief, but he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and couldn't help but wonder what happened to him just now, why was he so suspicious?

Turning his head again, the old man was about to close the balcony door and then go back to his desk chair and sit down for a while—he thought it might be that he had been busy running around for that emergency meeting today, and had not rested much.

There are also some people who may be too excited because of the news, and their emotions are a little up and down, so it also has some bad effects on the body.

But no amount of reason could defeat the exact reality, and just as the old man was frowning and thinking, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

That feeling came back the moment he turned his head!

And it's clearer and closer!

In the circle, Brewster Murphy has always been known for his tough style and ruthlessness, and it seems that there is no one or thing in this world that can make him jealous and give in...... But now, he felt a shudder from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body began to tremble incessantly.

His eyes widened, his face contorted, and he gasped for air as if he were having trouble breathing.

- The sight...... Whose sight is it? Or should I say what exactly is the sight of something?

There should be nothing behind him, nothing left, and the bright light will not make any shadows appear in the room that can hide people...... Besides, even if it was really some top killer who quietly lurked here, then he should have died a long time ago, right?

Why is it just that the gaze is felt all the time, and the atmosphere seems to be getting more and more terrifying?

The old man couldn't look away this time, and there was no way to turn back, he just looked at the balcony outside, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

And all the lights in the room were turned on, but he didn't think it was bright enough.

Immediately afterward, he felt as if there were gaps around his body, and an aura of unknown origin shuttled and drifted through these voids, gradually turning into a cold chill that lingered around him.

The mysterious aura gradually approached, and the old man's heartbeat began to accelerate violently, constantly agitating. It felt like someone had put their hand in their chest cavity and grabbed the heart so hard.

It was as if his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, unlike the fear that comes from imagination, and the "thing" was indeed approaching him step by step.

Back!

Back!

Back!

It's definitely an illusion! There simply can't be such a ridiculous thing! As long as you turn around, you can break this suppressed despair!

The old man struggled to stay conscious, constantly giving orders to his body.

But at this moment, he felt a cold touch coming from the back of his neck, and an electric current rushed through his back, and extreme fear quickly took shape in his blank mind.

The old man couldn't take it anymore, he let out a terrible cry, he had never known that he would encounter such a thing, it would be so terrible and terrifying.

No matter how good the sound insulation performance is, it can't stop such a terrible scream, so footsteps quickly came from outside the door of the study.

Only a few minutes later, when the old man's eldest son, Harriman, rushed into the study, he saw an unconscious old man with his teeth clenched and his eyes closed.

There was no sign of illegal invasion by outsiders in the study, and the old man stretched out his hand without any scars, and it seemed that it was completely ...... Suddenly became ill?

Harriman didn't know what was going on, so he could only grit his teeth and get his father to the hospital as quickly as possible.

He didn't suspect too much, for he didn't know that examples like the old man were happening rapidly in other places. I don't know how many people suddenly "get sick" and then fall unconscious.

……

……

Gloomy and oppressive, the fog surrounds it and is eerie.

The dense fields of crops were golden, and under the fog and haze, they looked extremely oppressive, and their vision was restricted.

"I don't know where this is, and I can't get to the end of it......"

The cold and glamorous beauty with a single ponytail held her knees and gasped hard, and then looked around, her expression was a little dazed, and at the same time there was a hint of vigilance.

"Am I dreaming? This must be a dream...... Or is it some kind of supernatural phenomenon? But how the hell did this get involved, obviously I tried my best before, but I couldn't encounter this kind of mysterious event again......"

Chai Ying tried hard to think about why she was involved in such a strange phenomenon again today.

First of all, she clocked in and went to work as usual, and spent most of the day doing nothing, and in the evening there was a new activity in the department, which was said to have intercepted some of the data of some advanced technology, and was trying to analyze it.

She took a look at it out of curiosity, but she couldn't understand the long, smelly, and didn't know what it meant, so she quickly lost interest and returned.

Then, as usual, he worked hard to learn the mysterious knowledge that the experts and professors had sorted out and did not know whether it was true or false, and cooperated with those scientists to continue to study and develop the mysterious power they had mastered......

In the evening, I call it a day and go home.

- This pace of life is simply too fulfilling.

So, it's no different from usual!

She didn't come into contact with any special people or things, nor did she go to any special places - besides, if she wanted to leave the base to write out, she still needed to apply, go through procedures, and wait for instructions - let alone play any live broadcast.

What is the reason for this? It's just that I really can't figure it out, so Chai Ying no longer embarrass her brain, and the most important thing at present is to figure out her own situation.

Because she was different from ordinary people, she vaguely noticed that this space was somewhat different from reality, just like dreaming.

And she clearly remembered the last memory, before she woke up in such a ghost place, she was lying on her bed and falling asleep beautifully...... Then I opened my eyes again, and when I woke up, I was in such a place.

In a lonely wood, bare tree trunks and dead grass everywhere, and many places were shrouded in a thick fog, which made people feel chills and creeps.

Under the guidance of her own extremely sharp mental intuition, Chai Ying chose a direction and walked forward, and finally broke away from the woods and came to a large endless field of crops......

Well, in fact, she wasn't sure if it was really endless, after all, the fog was always everywhere, and no matter which direction she looked, she could only see a yellow patch before the fog completely obscured her vision.

She was very vigilant, but she was not very panicked, after all, she had encountered this kind of thing twice, and she had changed a lot in all aspects compared to before.

Psychological quality is one thing, and extraordinary ability is also one thing, she is no longer the anchor lady who was purely an ordinary person before.

"There's a scarecrow over there...... It stands to reason that there should be a village nearby, right? ”

After walking a little further, she noticed a scarecrow in front of her, and her eyes lit up slightly, and then she looked back again, trying to remember which direction she had come from in the first place.

"Huh?"

But when Chai Ying turned her head back again, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, did the scarecrow in front of her suddenly get a lot closer to her?

The mist that had just appeared at the end of her line of sight had become much clearer with just a turn of her head.

…… Could it be that the fog has dissipated a lot all of a sudden?

Staring at the scarecrow, Chai Ying was highly vigilant, her whole body tensed, and she was always ready to react immediately if something went wrong.

But that one really seemed to be a scarecrow, and all kinds of feelings told her, and it didn't move from beginning to end even as her eyes stared unblinking.

A full minute passed, and the single-ponytail woman with sour eyes breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and raised her hand to rub her eyes.

This is really because I am in such a strange environment, and I have a suspicious mentality, right?

But when she looked up again, her heart almost skipped! Because the scarecrow actually came to a place three or four meters in front of her at that moment, and his outstretched arms seemed to be ready to pounce on her at any moment.

It was as if if she hadn't looked up in time to take a look, the thing would have really pounced on her.
