"Late Night Gallery Cannibalism ......"
"It's a really casual name."
"The name of the 'gallery incident' is taken up by the titles of other archives, and then you encounter a gallery-related event, you add the prefix of 'late night', and then you encounter a similar event, you add the suffix of 'cannibalism'."
"There's really your United Church, for the sake of simplicity."
"It's suspected to be a Level 3 abstract source event, but it can't be guaranteed to be absolutely accurate, so I'll treat it as an ordinary Level 4 event, it's not too big a problem."
"A peak fourth-level incident like the one in Path Town is unlikely to be encountered here, and the church's investigation should not be vegetarian, unless someone wants to trap us."
"Five people are known to be missing, including one nobleman."
"Looking at the analysis of the incident, the key person should be the gallery owner, and finding him may be able to play a role in breaking the situation."
……
Evening.
On the outskirts of the city, Nie Yuan sat by the fire on the riverbank, flipping through the files in his hands.
Nancy was playing in the water, teasing a few clumsy crabs.
As for Buck, he didn't come with him, and stayed at the Wangcheng Bookstore to guard the store.
The abstract source event assigned to them this time was just outside the outskirts of Intramus, not particularly far from the bookstore.
Judging from the information given in the file, it is not an extremely dangerous action, so it should be more than enough for the duo of Nie Yuan and Nancy to come.
The late-night gallery cannibalism incident is an abstract source incident that has only recently been investigated by the United Church.
Even if it is very close to the royal city, if Nie Yuan and the others do not take over this task, it may take a few days before it is resolved.
Because the manpower of the Intramural Church has not been very sufficient recently, there have been several infestation incidents in the Bain Kingdom, all of which have been stacked during this time, forming a small peak.
For the United Church, the highest priority must be on monsters and infects.
Even though these two are not as good as many abstract sources in terms of ability level.
But for civilians, the harm caused is much greater than ordinary abstract sources.
Because monsters and infestations are extremely easy to get out of control, as long as there are clues between these two, it means that many civilians will be killed because of this.
Most monsters have bad brains, but they don't care if they kill civilians and whether they will be targeted by the church.
In other words, they don't talk about martial arts, as long as ordinary people appear in their field of vision, they will be attacked indiscriminately.
This is especially true of infestation, once it appears, even if it stays still, it will overflow with a strong infective aura, polluting all living creatures around it into crazy monsters.
At the beginning, Mrs. Auston was a special case, she had not completely lost her mind, and she was limited by the abstract source of the city lord of Auston and the town of Path.
But even so, except for Buck's bookstore, everyone who was close to Auston Castle had already been assimilated by it.
One can imagine what a terrible situation will be caused by the loss of the infestation that has lost its restrictions.
Disasters will spread in all directions, and those monsters that have been assimilated by them will also attack ordinary creatures indiscriminately, and this vicious circle will eventually cause the situation to get out of control.
As for abstract sources, they usually don't get out of control easily, and even if they get out of control, as long as their ability is not too exaggerated, the harm caused will be much smaller than that of the infestation.
Because of the activity of abstract sources, it is generally necessary to talk about some laws, and it is unlikely that there will be a state of affairs that expands indiscriminately.
After turning into a monster, it is very likely that he will no longer be able to fight against humanity, and he will have to destroy humanity.
But if you are involved in the abstract source, as long as you don't die, after the originator abstract source is disposed of, you can still be an ordinary human and will not become a crazy monster.
Just like the surviving villagers in Paz Town, they came to their senses immediately after the incident in Adri.
It's just that at that time, Buck Bookstore didn't have the ability to easily suppress the abstract source of Paz Town, and the damage caused to the mad townspeople during the period was inevitable.
It can't be helped.
However, once the United Church has a large cause, it is not impossible to solve an abstract source incident perfectly and rescue everyone involved in it.
This is why the normal abstract source event has a lower priority than the large monster event or the ordinary infestation event.
Nie Yuan put away the archives in his hand and looked at the cooking fire in the distance, which was where their target was.
It is located in a prosperous area on the outskirts of Intramus.
It's similar to the town outside the ordinary city, but because it's relatively close to the royal city, it's also much bigger and more prosperous than the ordinary town.
"Nancy, let's go, it's getting dark."
Nie Yuan greeted Nancy, who was playing in the water, and lifted a stone the size of a basin to completely bury the fire pit to prevent a forest fire.
"Yes!"
Nancy kicked the struggling crab into the river, and began to wash her hands and feet on the shore to wash the mud off her body.
Seeing this, Nie Yuan also went to the shore to wash his face, the river water was very clear, and he could almost see the aquatic plants at a depth of one meter.
This is also one of the charms of another world, there are not so many chemical factories, and most of the river water is pure natural and pollution-free.
There is no problem with washing your face and clothes directly.
But as soon as a puff of water was pasted on his face, Nie Yuan felt a huge force behind him.
His body fell backwards suddenly, and he instinctively grabbed behind him.
He grabbed the instigator by the wrist and was about to pick her up from behind and smash her to the ground.
But feeling the familiar size and temperature, Nie Yuan gave up resistance and sat on the ground.
Opening his eyes and wiping the river water off his face, Nie Yuan frowned and said, "What's wrong, Nancy?" ”
It was Nancy who pulled behind him just now, and the sudden huge force made Nie Yuan think that he had been attacked by something.
"Ship~"
Nancy stretched out her finger and pointed to the spot where Nie Yuan had washed his face just now.
Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked up, but suddenly stared, and his heart was extremely vigilant.
I saw that on the shore where he was just now, the shore that was originally crystal clear, but a vague projection appeared, and the projection was still undulating with the rippling waves.
The dark shadow that came from nowhere, like a giant of the deep sea, was silently approaching the shore.
But how could this shallow river allow such a terrifying object, beyond common sense.
Nie Yuan closed his eyes when he washed his face just now, and he didn't feel it at all, the appearance of such a huge thing made his originally very keen spiritual sense invalid.
Looking at its rippling projection, isn't it a dilapidated ship hidden underwater?
From the side of its hole, you can still see a few vague big characters-
The Petrel.
