171. Heavy casualties
I haven't turned on the TV for a long time, and now I see that many stations are broadcasting a follow-up report on a news.
That news, of course, was a mass death incident a few days ago.
The original news basically only described the situation of the dead and injured: "Within 500 meters of the residential area where the incident occurred, there were large-scale and unexplained mass deaths. The manner in which the victims died was extremely similar, with no trauma or signs of poisoning, and the number of confirmed victims has reached 149. The cause of the accident is not yet known, and all relevant departments are currently under intense investigation.
In addition, similar incidents occurred in high-rise residential buildings near the scene of the crime, and several major car accidents occurred one after another on the Honghua Road viaduct to the east of the crime site. It is unclear if there is a connection to the accident. ”
And the so-called follow-up report is just some simple interviews with relevant personnel. The scene of the accident has been sealed off in a large area, and only professionals wearing thick radiation-proof overalls and gas masks are allowed to enter the scene, and news vehicles have been stopped outside.
All the interviews with the staff of the department in charge were perfunctory and "no comment" answers.
Interviews with eyewitnesses in the news give a variety of answers. The witnesses each described a variety of strange scenes, exaggerating the strange monsters they had seen.
Finally, the "expert" explained: At present, the most reasonable guess is that the cause of the accident was the large-scale spread of gaseous poisons with strong hallucinogenic properties at the scene. People who inhaled a lot of poisonous gas died directly, while those who were on the verge of the incident had varying degrees of hallucinations. As for what kind of gas poison it is, further laboratory confirmation is needed.
In fact, if you really don't think about the gods and spirits, then this expert's guess is already the closest to the truth. It is the poison gas of the absolute spirit that causes death.
Due to the huge body of the spirit, the poisonous fog spreads widely in the high altitude, which is also the reason for similar fatalities in high-rise buildings and car accidents on elevated highways.
Of course, the poisonous mist of the absolute spirit does not have the function of hallucination. The footage described by witnesses does not rule out the possibility that someone made it up. But the more important reason is that many witnesses were hallucinated by Fang Lingyu.
At the end of the news, there were interviews with several passers-by who claimed to be "at the scene".
"When I was passing by that day, suddenly the ground collapsed, and a big black hole appeared in the ground, and everyone in front of me fell into the hole. I don't know why I saw that way. Luckily, I turned around and ran away. ”
"I saw a red giant cat demon, and when it sucked casually, many people were drained of their essence and fell down in an instant."
"What I saw was a huge disc-shaped object flying in mid-air, and it must have been some kind of flying machine. The disc emitted pink light when it was released downward, and the people who were swept away fell one by one in an instant. ”
Hehe! These people's answers began to become more and more outrageous.
"I know! I saw a huge black snake that was spitting snake letters and spewing purple mist. The man who was shrouded in the fog fell in an instant. ”
Wait, this answer......
I immediately turned my attention to the TV, which was interviewed by a little guy of thirteen or fourteen.
Although judging from his hairstyle and dress, he is undoubtedly a boy. But he spoke delicately and seemed to be a little shy. And his skin is fair, his eyebrows are delicate, and his appearance is even more delicate than that of a girl.
And his hands always hold a rag doll in the shape of a girl.
Are all the boys so squeamish now? But what he said is really noteworthy, can he also see what really happened that day?
However, the reporter who interviewed him had seen all kinds of strange answers, and he didn't pay attention to the little brother's answer at all, and the boy's shot ended.
The content of the news soon changed to interviews with the families of those who died.
And I switched the channel in time before I saw the sad faces.
If what the Black Basilisk told me was true, he had intended to change the course of the world by slaughtering, and even though I finally changed his mind, it still caused so many deaths and injuries.
So in the prophecy, will this world, which is on the verge of collapse, usher in more terrible disasters?
And in the mouth of the black basilisk, will I, who determines the direction of the world, live up to everyone's expectations? Could it be that my little mistake will cause more people to die because of it?
The last news item on TV interrupted my thoughts: "In recent days, the country has ushered in a rare low temperature, and the temperature has continued to drop in various places. Yesterday, the average temperature in major cities across the country reached nine degrees Celsius, which is the lowest summer temperature in nearly two decades......"
"Knock knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.
"The door is unlocked! Come on in! ”
Then there was the sound of the hand turning, and Sister Ying pushed open the door and walked in.
Usually she pushes the door directly, why is she so polite today.
"Xiaoyu, how are you at home these days! You see, you don't go out, be careful that staying at home all the time will become a fat house! ”
"Oh!" Her tone and salutation were not like her usual appearance, and I had goosebumps all over my body when I heard it.
"Oh what do you mean, when did you learn to be cold, jumping out word by word!" Sister Ying asked with a smile.
"Oh! I just don't know what to say! ”
"Why don't you go out for a walk with me, I also have to exercise more, otherwise my legs will be asymmetrical!"
Only then did I notice that she came this time without crutches. I don't think her injury was so rosy.
"Your legs, are they better?"
"It's alright! It's not a big problem to walk slowly, you can't always be a wounded! Sister Ying patted me on the shoulder, "How about it, do you want to walk with me." ”
"No! Don't want to go out in the summer! "I declined her invitation.
"Don't stay at home all the time! It's not hot outside, it's cooler than spring! Sister Ying still didn't give up, "You haven't had lunch yet!" There is a new barbecue restaurant nearby, I invite you, I invite you to eat a few buckets, I am full! ”
"No appetite, don't want to eat!"
No matter how delicious the food is now, it can't whet my appetite.
"The sun is coming out of the west? You're a snacker, and you still have a time when you can't eat? ”
"I can't eat anything, next time!"
I don't know why, her attitude today is much better than usual. Maybe I should have been happy, but I was really not in the mood to accompany her to do something.
I can only let Sister Ying ruin her happiness this time.
"Honestly, are you still thinking about that girl?"
