Chapter 30: Deterioration
Ma Bin and Sun Yang were taken aback by the results of the merger, and in just one month, there were nearly a hundred similar incidents of sudden aging and sudden death in the entire territory of Great Xia, and no survivors were found, but because they were scattered throughout the country, such things did not attract people's attention. Ma Bin tried to track down similar incidents, but found that as early as two years ago, there were similar rapid aging and sudden death, but at that time, there were only one or two such incidents a month among the more than a billion people in the country, so they were quickly drowned in the vast sea of information, unnoticed.
Why are there more and more such things?
Lu Xiaoling's opinion is that the other party's ability has gradually increased in the past two years, reaching the height of being able to commit crimes against many people at the same time across the country, but in the information found by Ma Bin, there have not been many such things, and it was not until two months ago that it suddenly broke out.
"It's like a contagion." Ma Bin shook his head and sighed.
"Where was the first such incident that could be traced?" Sun Yang asked.
"Jiang Hai." Ma Bin replied.
Sun Yang couldn't help but frown.
It was one of the largest cities in Bactria, and it is said that there were 30 million people living there with the floating population, and it might be more difficult to find a monster or demon in that city than to find a needle in a haystack two years ago.
Theoretically, the place where it first happened was most likely to be close to its lair, but there is also the possibility that it would have been hiding somewhere else after two years.
"Let's sort out the data on the hard drive we found now." Lu Xiaoling said.
In the case of Ma Bin, they got three more hard disks and compared them with the two they had obtained before. Fewer and fewer similarities have been found, and if one or two more hard drives on the victims' computers can be obtained, perhaps the answer will soon be in front of them.
But just when Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling were working hard, their father's phone called: "Sun Yang! Come to the hospital! ”
"What's wrong?" Sun Yang asked in surprise.
Fang Yi's ...... You'll know when you're here! Father said with a sigh.
Sun Yang hurried to the hospital, but saw that several relatives in the family were at the door, and his aunt's eyes were swollen like peaches.
"What's wrong?" Sun Yang asked. Although the number he gave his cousin was not a complete version of the amulet, as he continued to practice and gradually deepened his cultivation, this copycat version of the amulet was enough to fight against ordinary yin spirits and evil spirits. This is also the reason why he is relieved to leave his cousin in the hospital to pursue clues.
"It's all our fault...... Sun Yang, you help your cousin, help him~" The aunt cried, and the uncle had an embarrassed and sad expression on his face.
It turned out that after Sun Yang left the talisman and left, his cousin's condition stabilized a little, which made the aunt and uncle's determination that their son was "evil" quickly became firm.
People are often like this, after one door can't get through, they will be desperate for another door to suddenly appear. Now that the doctors had said that there was nothing they could do about the situation, their hearts suddenly became devout about things that had previously seemed absurd.
The two secretly discussed, feeling that a young man like Sun Yang was unreliable after all, and he never met again after coming in a hurry that day, but just called again and again to ask about the situation. When I asked him about his progress, he always said "it's fast". So anxious about their son's situation, the two ran to Longhua Temple on the outskirts of Yuanshan Mountain, and begged the master of the temple to come out to relieve his son's calamity.
Although the hospital was a little unhappy with this practice, in the face of a patient who seemed to them to be terminally ill, they also took countermeasures to ignore it, and just secretly warned them not to go too far.
So the master of Longhua Temple first went to the hospital to see his cousin's situation, and then sat in the ward and his cousin's house, and handed them a piece of jade Buddha, saying that it was a treasure that had been opened in front of the Buddha, as long as they sincerely worshiped the Buddha, they would definitely be able to become auspicious in distress and eliminate the disaster in front of them.
It was also Sun Yang's aunt who was talkative, because Sun Yang had given a charm before, she was worried about whether Taoist things would conflict with Buddhist things, so she asked the master, but she didn't expect to attract the master's extreme anger: "If you don't believe me, don't come to invite me!" What can those wild Taoist things do? You use this thing to humiliate me, do you look down on our Longhua Temple? I tell you, such half-heartedness, insincerity and disrespect, beware of the Buddha's anger and condemnation! ”
These words made the aunt completely confused, and immediately took off the amulet given by Sun Yang and hung up the jade Buddha given by the master.
Leaving aside the incense money they had paid to show their sincerity to the Buddha, they were shocked to find that their son's condition had suddenly deteriorated, and he had become like a seventy-year-old man.
Sun Yang was speechless, he often encountered such things outside, and people often became suspicious because of his age, which made him have to often invite Yuan Zhen to sit in the town in order to make the family settle down. What I didn't expect was that my relatives didn't believe in me more than others.
But he couldn't say anything to blame, so he could only go to the ward first to see his cousin's condition.
"Brother Yang...... Am I going to die? The cousin, who was less than eighteen years old, looked like a dying old man, which made Sun Yang's heart so sad that he could hardly say anything.
"No, don't worry, I won't let you have an accident." He took off the amulet he had with him and hung it carefully around his neck. "Auntie, uncle, this talisman was passed on to me by my master, it is very effective, no matter what the circumstances, don't pick it up again, do you know?"
"Rest assured, we won't do that again."
Sun Yang looked at them and didn't know what to say, but he had pity for his parents in the world, and he could only put this matter aside.
"What happened last night?" He asked. It stands to reason that even without the protection of the amulet, how can my cousin continue to deteriorate if he can't touch the computer in the ward?
The aunt and uncle glanced at each other, the expressions on their faces looked like they had seen a ghost, and they quietly pulled Sun Yang out of the ward before whispering to him what had happened.
"Last night was my vigil." The little uncle said. "There was nothing in the first half of the night, and at about two o'clock I heard a strange sound, like someone was tapping on a keyboard. I opened my eyes, only to see ...... See ......"
He swallowed heavily, as if recalling an extremely horrible event.
