Chapter XXXV
Paul was originally a general agent in the Inspectorate.
On weekdays, most of my work is just drinking tea, reading the newspaper, and processing documents.
But just two days ago, his peaceful life was shattered.
Two days ago, the Cisse River ...... The levee broke.
The water from the river began to flood the entire city, and all the holes in the space it carried were spilled into the old Lankan city.
The monsters in these spatial holes also began to want to enter the present world one by one, crawling out of the river and trying to devour humans.
In the old city of Lanka, the only two true transcendents who broke free from ordinary chains used blood drawings to build a whole defensive wall overnight, so that the river could hold back the broken river.
But far from stopping the river from spreading, the river began to seep out from all over the city, whether it was the cracks in the building, the food that had just been eaten, the tables in the building, everything began to seep black water.
The whole city seemed to be cursed in some way, and it began to become anomalous and inexplicable.
The Inspectorate summoned detectives, white-gloved, black-robed pickets overnight to evacuate the people and organize rescues, and when the situation stabilized the next day, the Inspectorate sent some detectives to find out the situation in the dark, to see if there were more terrible monsters hiding there, and if there were any people alive.
Paul was the agent who had been sent out to investigate these circumstances, and as one of the few agents of extraordinary rank, the inspector had given him a more dangerous task of placing him on the edge of the city, where the distance back and forth was longer and the degree of detection was less.
Paul first found some lonely people in the lightless place on the edge of the city, and he asked them to quickly enter the nearby building with paintings to take refuge, while he himself went deeper into the lightless place, recording monster data and investigating the fluctuations of spatial holes.
First-hand data is very important for official rescue decisions.
In the course of Paul's investigation, he gradually discovered another very important thing.
That is, under the black water, in addition to the spatial hole, there is something else that is producing a high-energy reaction, which his detector has faithfully reflected.
This reaction caused Paul to spend a little more time in this lightless place, and Paul's sense of responsibility did not allow him to leave hastily without finding the root cause.
Paul has been investigating until now, but he has not found the source of the high-energy reaction under the black water, until another high-energy reaction came just now, and the reaction did not come from under the black water, but from the road, which made him even more puzzled.
And the situation at that time was also very critical, several abnormal monsters under the black water were approaching him, and he fled in a hurry before escaping to the truck.
In Paul's experience during these two days, Paul made a very important point.
That is, since the Cisse River burst its banks, the sky has not been bright, it has always been so cloudy, the red moon is in the sky, and it is as strange as a ghost.
After listening to Paul's story, Eros couldn't help but ask another question.
"Was the last reaction you detected coming from the carriages of these four cars?"
Regarding this question about Elos, Paul deliberately took out the detector from his professional pocket and tested it.
The high-energy reaction of the first car, Paul judged to come from the spatial hole, but the reaction energy level of this spatial hole was a little higher than normal, but it did not exceed a reasonable range.
The second and third cars did not effectively respond to Paul's high energy, and it was not until Paul took a few steps forward and aimed at the fourth car, causing the entire detector to glow dangerously red.
"The reaction came from the fourth car. Paul preached.
Eros nodded, agreeing with Paul's result, and according to his guess, the fourth car was the most likely to go wrong.
Because the fourth car has a large amount of heat spilling out, even the special cabin shell cannot contain it.
"Thank you for your cooperation, and I have a good news and a bad news for you next, which one are you going to hear first. Eros gently lowered the gun.
Richard, on the other hand, touched his chin imperceptibly after hearing Eros say this.
"Good news, it's good to hear good news at this time. Paul patted the dust off his body with his thin palm.
"The good news is that we'll be with you to the city center. ”
The road on which the vehicle was traveling, Eros had basically seen it, and basically went all the way to the city center.
The office building of the Ombudsman is also in the center of the city, which can be called a drop-off.
"It's good news, we can help each other, but what's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that you can't get out of the range of the roofs of these four cars anymore. ”
"It's ....... again"
Paul, who was clearly a man of action, immediately reached out with his hand, but his hand seemed to be bounced back by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't reach out at all.
Practice makes sense, and Paul can be regarded as a reflection of the correctness of Elos's statement.
Faced with such a situation, Paul's whole body tensed up significantly, and his face became not very good-looking.
Eros said as if he was reassuring, "Maybe next, you'll see the root of what you want to see." ”
Although the root cause is mentioned, Aeros does not explain what the root cause is, whether it is a high-energy reaction under the black water, or something else.
Eroth's ability to grasp the essence once again allowed him to find some key information from the endless fog, but this information was based on reasoning at this moment, and there was no concrete evidence.
Official documents, Chart's abilities, the red moon, the wagons parked in front of their homes, the goods in the wagons, and the freight men who know nothing, the rivers that burst their banks, the chaotic cities, and the chattering holes in space.
Everything was pointing to something, and Iros was only a superficial combination of all the information at the moment, it was still early to answer, but according to his judgment of this information, something would definitely happen when the four trucks reached the end.
There were already a lot of thoughts in his heart, but Eros didn't say a word to Richard and Paul after this endless sentence, some words, some speculations, in this world, saying it means a higher level of information leakage.
After what happened to Karn, Eros was more strict and cautious about keeping the information in his head, after all, even memories could be retrieved, what else was impossible?
Sitting cross-legged in front of the wagon, Eros began to eat, taking a sip of water and a mouthful of dry cakes, facing the night breeze, and his eyes seemed to have crossed a long street to the end of the city.
Walking through this large area without light, the four cars entered the world of light, the light emitted by the extraordinary paintings carefully assembled by the painters, illuminating the night, the inhabitants hid in the building, did not dare to sleep, and even went to the toilet in the company of many people, the monster screams outside the building tormented them all the time.
In the face of this sudden disaster, ordinary people do not have extraordinary abilities, they are the most powerless group of people washed by the torrent.
Upstairs and downstairs, struggling to get up in this abyss, Eros didn't feel anything special, he sat in the front of the car, and several giant paintings appeared in front of him, according to Paul, the more huge the painting, the more the painter needs to put in a huge effort, with more than ever before, to paint.
When Paul said this, he also made a point of emphasizing that if the giant painting was a scene, only one person in the entire old Lankan city could do it except for the truly transcendental.
He didn't mention the name of this man at the time, and Iroth was not interested in asking at the moment, he just looked at the new paintings with an appreciative attitude.
The content of these paintings is a scene of painting, and it is a war scene, and the person who painted the painting uses strong contrasting colors to make the whole painting look full of conflict, and these scenes are not limited to one plane of the tall building, but continue to cover the four sides of the spire-like building, complete and powerful.
Originally, when faced with these paintings with a great sense of conflict, Eros wanted to look at them for a while, but this bullshit time, never wanted to leave him a little more time, and another monster attacked this way.
