Chapter 6 Chapter 69 One Step Late
At Zhang Chen's request, the three of them walked into the temple together.
"Master Hui Jie, please take us to the abbot's room to see, if we can understand where the abbot is going, and rush to the abbot's side in time, maybe we can help the abbot resolve the disaster."
Zhang Chen and the two people beside him who were examined in Hui Jie's eyes couldn't see through it for a long time, but Zhang Chen was also deeply valued by the abbot, and after thinking twice, Hui Xie took the three of them to the abbot's room that had been closed.
The room is the same as before, in a simple room of 30 square meters, a table, a seat and a chair, there is nothing special.
However, after Lian Yuxin brushed her hand on the neat and clean tabletop, she found a very subtle button in the upper right corner of the wooden table.
With the press of the button, a small square dark compartment suddenly opened on one side of the wall in the closed room. Inside there is a stack of quaint rolling paper written with a brush, and from the rolling paper, I am afraid that the age is very old.
"Letters? It seems to be a letter from someone outside to the abbot. ”
Zhang Chen saw the mailing address at the place where the letter was signed - "No. 16, Section 2, Xinhe Street". After reviewing the letter and the rest of the useful information, Zhang Chen and the others quickly withdrew from the temple.
"Xinhe Street, here!" The trio arrived at the second section of Xinhe Street at 7 a.m., but due to the old buildings, most of the building numbers were no longer visible or missing. There is not a single local resident in the deserted streets.
Just as Zhang Chen was about to break into the house to absorb the memories of the residents.
"This way! There is a case. Lian Yuxin took the lead and immediately walked to the other side of the street, and soon saw a strange shop. On its façade hangs a signboard - 'Incense Paper Shop'.
Lian Yuxin's telekinesis was several times stronger than Zhang Chen's, and when he came to the door, the closed iron roller shutter door was forcibly raised by his telekinesis. As a large stream of yin qi escaped from the shop, a stream of electric light immediately escaped and disappeared in the alleyway behind the shop.
Zhang Chen and Huang Ce glanced at each other, and chased the electric light away without stopping. Zhang Chen estimated the direction of the electro-optical movement. Using the space to move to a hundred meters in front of it, Huang Ce pursued it from behind with great speed.
Just as Zhang Chen was considering whether to use the Ghost Transformation, a bullet passed through the center of the electric light at a speed that was invisible to Zhang Chen's naked eye. The electric light dissipated, and in the end, what was caught by the two-person bag was a white meat worm that ran out of energy and dissipated its vitality.
"The offspring of USO-003 can survive in the air and use the power of the main body?" Huang Ce grabbed the white flesh worm with his hand and examined it back and forth, and then put the dead flesh worm into a small pocket made of special material and stored it.
When Zhang Chen Huang Ce re-shopped. Wreaths and yellow paper were scattered in the hall. The walls of the ground were covered with pools of jet-black corpses. At the same time, two corpses were lying on the floor of the hall.
One of them, an old man wearing reading glasses and straw sandals, had all the ink fountain lines wrapped around his ten fingers, and his body exuded the smell of a cultivator similar to Jia Xin's.
However, next to a large pool of corpse water in the hall, there sat a bald old man in plain clothes, and Zhang Chen recognized it at a glance as the abbot master of Lushan Temple. All the internal organs of the old man's body were stirred. A huge black hole was blasted open in the chest cavity by lightning.
"Lian Yuxin. Send a message to headquarters. Samples of the descendants of USO-003 were passed over for testing. Ask them to give us results within a day. Huang Ce gave Lian Yuxin's body to Lian Yuxin, and teleported to the imperial capital through a special device.
"Damn, plans fail again and again." Huang Ce punched the cement wall next to him directly open a big hole.
"What do you think USO-003 means when it's here? With its current situation, it is absolutely impossible to run around with nothing to do. Lian Yuxin asked.
"Could it have something to do with these runes?" Zhang Chen looked at the rune papers scattered throughout the room. Immediately reminiscent of the yellow rune paper contained in the zombie's mouth.
"Huh?" Lian Yuxin casually picked up the rune paper on the ground, "The yellow table paper that has been opened?" Is it used to create those zombies that were extremely autonomous before? Is this one of the physiological characteristics of USO-003? ”
"Nope. The various provinces, including USO-003, which was recorded in the report on the physiological characteristics given by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, were classified as a solitary creature. Once a suitable host is found, it will use its own power to bring destruction to the world, and it is all arbitrary, but it will not form a group like humans. Huang Ce explained.
"Could it be...... USO-003 The symbiotic relationship established with Liang Xue's body? Zhang Chen asked suspiciously.
"Symbiosis?" Lian Yuxin didn't seem to know about this situation.
"I have a friend who is the chief scientist, and she sued me. Once uso-003 finds a suitable host, it will maintain a symbiotic relationship with its body, retaining the host's sense of ownership. But this qiē is all theoretical speculation and has not actually happened. Zhang Chen explained.
"Oh? Scientists in Tianfu City? Could it be that it is Sister Liu Nuo? ”
"Well, you know?"
"Haha, when I was in the imperial capital, Sister Liu Nuo was even closer than my own sister. Although the strength is not very good, but the brain is too smart, next time I will go back with you to see Sister Liu Nuo. ”
Hearing that Lian Yuxin was going to Tianfu City with Zhang Chen, Huang Ce didn't look very happy like a child on the side.
"Zhang Chen, tell us about the hypothesis of symbiosis?" Huang Ce asked.
"Okay." Zhang Chen told the two of them all the hypotheses he had obtained from Liu Nuo.
"Strengthening the body? This USO-003 is still an auxiliary device? Huang Ce felt very unbelievable about this hypothesis, "The previous situation where the child body survived alone may be the body mutation of USO-003 in the symbiotic situation. ”
Lian Yuxin's eyes suddenly closed, as if she had received some information.
"When Faber learned of the situation, he sent a message and asked us to assign the task ourselves."
"In that case, the supervision of New Creek Elementary School definitely needs to continue. What do you think of the situation with the Order before? Huang Ce deliberately made eye contact with Lian Yuxin when he spoke.
"The situation at the elementary school seems complicated, you two go and wait. The reason why Liang Xue is doing things and hiding now must be because his injuries have not yet healed, and his strength has not yet reached the peak, and it is definitely inevitable to absorb ghost things to restore his ability. It is enough to leave the affairs of the church to me alone, maybe it is just a crooked and heretical way. "Zhang Chen gave his own Jianyì.
"But......" Lian Yuxin hesitated slightly, "Okay, the other party's capture of the ghost thing last night failed, and the ghost thing at the intersection and the border city park no longer exists." There is a high chance that Xinxi Elementary School will be selected by USO-003. Zhang Chen, be careful yourself, and report to me immediately if there is any situation in the church. ”
After speaking, Lian Yuxin and Huang Ce left quickly.
Zhang Chen came to the abbot's master, carried his body on his shoulder, and went to a silent wasteland, buried the abbot's body in the earth, and bowed deeply.
…………
Top floor of a 4-star hotel.
"Senior Sister Xiang Yun, Zhang Chen, they said that Changsha is very chaotic these days and they can't go out." In the corridor, Wang Yizhi looked at Xiang Yun, who was carrying a schoolbag and black-rimmed glasses, and hurriedly pulled him down.
"It's fine. Just now, Changsha Publishing House called me and urged me to hurry over to negotiate the signing and publication of books, I have been here for a few days, and if I don't get things done, I will lose my job. Don't worry, I won't be as reckless as last time, and I promise not to cause trouble along the way. ”
"Zhang Chen also said that there are a lot of ghosts outside, just like the last time I met them in school."
"Senior Brother Zhang Chen said nonsense, the yang energy is booming in broad daylight, what the hell is there. Besides, senior sister, I'm a ghost exorcist ** teacher, don't worry, I'll be back at noon after the matter is done. ”
"Hey, okay. Then I'll go with you, senior sister, the publishing house is not far from here. ”
"I saw that you were bored to death every day when you stayed here, and your boyfriend didn't know what to do all day long, I thought you two were here for your honeymoon?"
"Where?" Wang Yizhi was immediately a little embarrassed when she said this.
"Let's go, I've been to Changsha Publishing House once before, it's very big, senior sister will take you to play."
After the two talked like this, they left the top floor of the hotel together and walked down the escalator.
When the two girls came downstairs to the hotel, they couldn't help but be shocked by the desolate scene in front of them. At nine o'clock in the morning, the urban area that should have been full of people was now only a few people. The two sat on the empty bus stop and waited for about half an hour, but not a single bus passed by.
"Zhang Chen put a lot of money on me, should we take a taxi over?"
As soon as Wang Yizhi finished saying this, a yellow taxi with an 'empty car' on his face slowly drove in front of the two. Originally, the two of them were still a little skeptical, because they just mentioned yì and didn't call a taxi.
"Two beauties, these days the bus masters are on strike, and they don't have to sit on the bus. Where to go and need a taxi? After the window was rolled down, a polite-looking male driver in his thirties said politely.
"Let's go to Changsha Publishing House."
"Publishers? I'll play the meter when I get in the car, and I see that the two of you are not locals, so I had to charge a little more during this extraordinary period. ”
Seeing that the driver seemed to be a good person, the two women got into the back seat of the taxi.
The taxi starts and turns straight to the intersection on the left.
"Master, shouldn't the publishing house go straight over?" Xiang Yun's vigilance is still relatively high.
"There are a lot of marches at the Lujun intersection in front of me, and the road is full, so I have to go around it a lot faster from this side." After seeing the master explain like this, the two girls didn't think too much about it.
However, a wooden disc hanging from Xiang Yun's waist vibrated during the taxi drive, and the wooden disc was held behind Xiang Yun's palm, and the pointer on it pointed straight to the driver's seat...... (To be continued......)
