......In the dead and silent deserted village, the cry of a boy who was a little out of tune echoed, and I followed the sound all the way to find it, and finally, I saw a boy on a tree stump next to an intersection.

The boy sat on a tree stump with his back to me, wearing a denim jacket on his upper body, a pair of jeans on his bottom, and a cowboy hat on his head.

"Aknan? You are not Ai Kenan. "Actually, I can almost determine the identity of this kid, because when he cries, his body will tremble slightly, and the paper crane made of yellow paper on his hat will also appear in front of my eyes with his shaking.

However, the older boy did not turn his head away from what I said, but kept crying, as if he was frightened by something. But also, I heard his father say that he came out with four classmates, and now he is the only one left here, maybe what happened to his four classmates, and he was hit by the heart after witnessing it with his own eyes.

"Ai Kenan, don't be afraid, your uncle is a policeman, and it was your father who invited your uncle to come to you." I didn't walk over all at once, but walked slowly as I spoke. It's like riding a horse, you have to let a horse know you're there when you walk up to it, and if you sneak in from behind and jump on the horse, nine out of ten horses will run around in shock.

However, Ai Kenan's situation was a bit unoptimistic, and he didn't react to my shouts, just cried.

"Don't be afraid, young man, don't you like to watch One Piece? Remember what Luffy always said? I'm the man who wants to be the King of the Pirates. Let's go on the great voyage! "Well, don't blame me, my brother also likes to watch cartoons, but I haven't watched Brother Ai's favorite One Piece, so I know a few words......

However, in the face of such enthusiastic and inspirational lines, why is this kid completely unmoved? Even if it's a joke that treats my brother as a monkey, it's okay to laugh a few times.

Confused, I walked behind Aikenan. I didn't see any black energy overflowing from him, which meant that he was supposed to be a living person, not some kind of ghostly conjugation. "Ai Kenan, uncle is going to put his hand on your shoulder, don't be afraid, uncle is here to take you home." I said as I put my left hand on his shoulder, but at that moment, my brow furrowed.

It's not the right touch. The boy's shoulders should be hard and soft, with a natural elasticity of flesh and blood, but this Ai Kenan's shoulders are different, the feeling is not only very hard, but also there are some raised bumps, how to describe it, as if I touched not a human shoulder but a large piece of natural crystal that escaped from the side!

"Don't touch me!" The big boy, who hadn't responded to the shouting just now, turned his head back sharply and yelled at me, and the face that suddenly caught my eye was so frightened that I involuntarily took a few steps back, and seemed to have tripped over something, and sat down on the ground. The stick in his hand also fell off his hand.

What kind of face is that, I can't see the human form at all, the face is full of black crystal pillars with metallic luster, and even one eye has emerged, these things, if polished and put in the jewelry store, may be regarded as extremely rare gems, but on the human face, it can only bring people horror!

"You, what's wrong with you?" I'm a little stammering, how can I become such a ghost? "Shhhh

When I raised my hand, I saw that on the small wound in my palm, what I was desperately drilling into the flesh turned out to be a grain of black-gray grit! His sister's! There's something wrong with this thing! I pulled the grit out of the flesh as fast as I could, but it was clearly not over, and the flesh that had come into contact with it was starting to turn a little grayish-black. And the pain of that wound was particularly intense, as if the pain nerve had increased several times in an instant.

"Weird stuff." I cursed in a low voice, and saw that the strange man who seemed to be Ai Kenan didn't move, so I spewed out some water aura from the palm of my left hand, condensed into a small ice blade in the air, gritted my teeth, and cut off all the flesh and blood that had turned black and gray from the wound in the palm of my right hand.

As soon as the severed flesh fell to the ground, it made a soft "ziz" sound, and then quickly turned black and deformed, becoming a grayish-black piece of polycrystalline rock candy.

"What the hell is this!" The wound on my right hand was still bleeding, but I didn't have the heart to think about what to do with it. How did that penetration ability come about?

He took a deep breath and looked at the humanoid monster that seemed to be Ai Kenan again. The humanoid monster had already stood up, and was now looking at me with the only one eye it had left. Although it kept making a crying sound, there was no trace of tears around its eyes, but that expression, as if asking me: Now, do you understand?

"You're Ai Kenan, you've been made to what you are by these gravel-like things, aren't you?" I asked tentatively. To be honest, I can now understand why it didn't respond to my question, it became like this, and other people's questions were still serious. Ai Kenan is not a child of seven or eight years old, even if I tell him that this can be cured, he will have to believe it.

"Click, click", the monster nodded, which was a response to my question just now, but it was a simple nodding action, but it made his body make the sound of metal ore rubbing, which was extremely harsh.

"Where did these things come from? And what about your other partners? "I don't expect to get the answer to the first question, but at least you have to tell me the answer to the second question. It was just a small wound that almost made me like this, and if his other companions were also eroded by that metal grit and returned to the city, it would be no ordinary trouble.

Ai Kenan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't spit out a word after a long time, and I took a closer look at his mouth, and finally knew why he couldn't speak—his tongue had also turned into a gray-black metal crystal pillar!

Ai Kenan was obviously also in a hurry, and raised a hand to show me the direction, but as soon as his hand was raised, he heard a "click", and the arm was actually broken off at the shoulder, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground, and fell into gray-black crystalline clusters of different sizes and some metal gravel like those on the ground.

The arm was broken, and Ai Kenan was obviously taken aback, and involuntarily took a step back, but it was this step that made him completely step into the abyss of no return-the leg he retreated back was like his arm that broke off from his body, which made his body lose balance in an instant and fall to the ground with a "bang".

Then, as if it were a glass man, Ai Kenan's body was shattered into pieces, and even his head was shattered into crystal clusters of different sizes, and the only remaining single eye turned black the moment it hit the ground, and then turned into a Rubik's cube-like thing.

At the bottom of my heart, I felt a chill, what the hell is going on? Is it a new type of biochemical virus? But what virus can have such a terrifying outward manifestation? Even the T virus in Resident Evil isn't so ferocious!

Fear is constantly spreading in my heart, Ai Kenan's situation is definitely not an exception, now there are only those gray and black things scattered on the ground, and the clothes that were originally worn on him, how familiar is this scene, in the courtyard of the house just now, didn't I see some clothes scattered on the ground?

Now it seems that it is not a simple piece of clothing thrown on the ground, but the last trace left by a person like Ai Kenan!

Immediately afterward, my heart began to chill.

That's right, it's a chill, Ai Kenan has broken to the ground, so what about me? Am I going to be like him? This village is full of that kind of metal gravel, big and small, and even the dust like volcanic ash is a little smaller, so could I have already been tricked? It is likely that the dust that was stirred up when the iron gate fell just now has entered my body through the respiratory system!

Thinking of this, my limbs couldn't help but feel weak, no, no, I must not have been infected, I haven't enjoyed the blessing of 135246, how can I die here so inexplicably!

All around, it was dark, and when I looked up at the sky, the sky above me was a gray and black color, and the deserted village with no people looked particularly weird and infiltrating. The faintly audible chirping of birds has been replaced by mournful cries.

When, when did the surroundings turn out to be like this! I faintly saw that at the end of several village roads, there were black figures staggering towards me, their mouths kept crying, and as they moved, pieces of gray-black things fell from their bodies to the ground, stirring up one pale black dust mist after another......

"Knock, knock......" In this noisy environment, I can actually hear my own heartbeat, so clear, so rapid, as if my heart will jump out of my chest at any moment.

"Bang", a hand on my shoulder, I subconsciously looked back, only to find a human figure composed of black crystals all but two eyes was smiling at me......
