Chapter 91: Staring into the Abyss
[Smart Loss] 94%!
As the negative state deepened and broke through the first boundary, Yan Jing finally understood why Yu Zhen had suddenly lost his temper before.
The already extremely drowsy environment because of the rainy day is becoming more and more strange at the moment.
Everything you see in front of you seems to have some kind of terrifying hint in it, and people can't help but be suspicious.
Looking down, the old Shuzuo under his feet was no longer just a monster, lingering around him, and the substance-like black mist was obviously the key factor causing his sudden mutation.
That's the crux of the matter.
What is the reason for the sudden mutation of the old book?
"There's something weird somewhere in this room?"
Yu Zhen took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to relieve his abnormal state, but the result was still unsuccessful.
"It's a possibility, but it's not very likely, if there is something strange in the house, we should have noticed it when we came in before, not to mention that he is an ordinary person, there is no reason to stay in this kind of house for so long."
Shuo Feng's sword was pressed against the back of the monster's neck, Yan Jing frowned and said,
"I didn't have any difficulty trying to control him before, which is enough to prove that when we first met, he was really just an ordinary person, infused with these special energies on the way to be controlled by my abilities...... If there is an evil spirit against us, his strength is too weak! ”
In just a few seconds of fighting, Yan Jing could feel that although Lao Shuzuo had mutated, his ability to transform into a monster was really limited.
Even if you want to sneak attack, why don't you send someone who is strong enough?
Otherwise, there is no point in scaring the snake.
"You mean this mutation is not really aimed at us, but he has a problem with himself...... But it doesn't make sense, does it, the timing is too coincidental. ”
"Maybe my control over him triggered a mechanic, or maybe maybe our negative state attracted the weirdness to come, and it couldn't hurt us, so it could only turn the target to the easier ones to bully and then try to attack."
As he spoke, his palm suddenly became stronger, and he stabbed the Shuofeng Sword into the back of the monster's neck, and the torso under his feet twitched for a while and then there was no more sound, and Yan Jing continued,
"No matter what, this house is not suitable to stay any longer, and get the information you want to evacuate as soon as possible."
Yu Zhen nodded, turned around and was about to sit back at the table to continue flipping through the file.
Only this time she picked up the pen and wrote a few words, and Yan Jing patted her shoulder, turned around and looked over with some confusion, and noticed that Yan Jing was staring at the file on the table, thoughtful.
After a brief silence, Yan Jing spoke,
"You get up first, and this time I'll come to check the file."
The position was replaced, but Yan Jing picked up the file that Yu Zhen had already flipped through before, and specially put it aside to avoid mistakes, and the latter was about to open his mouth to remind him, but was stopped by Yan Jing raising his hand.
"You stand where you are, don't move, don't go through the file and don't look at the corpses on the ground, give me some time."
Yan Jing quickly looked at the strange events described in the file, paused from time to time, and after about seven or eight minutes, he asked,
"What is your current intelligence stat?"
“92%。”
"I'm just like you now."
picked up the file in his hand and shook it in front of Yu Zhen, Yan Jing had a touch of helplessness on his face,
"I think I've found the reason, I'm afraid this is the most troublesome part of this incident, the erosion of will, you can also understand it as...... When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you! ”
On the premise of knowing that Yu Zhen's values were different from his own, Yan Jing considered the reason, and there was no difference between what the two sides saw and heard along the way, that is, when checking the files in this house, Yan Jing, as a helper, was more to assist in searching for the files.
The former is the one who really looks through and thinks about the events described in the dossier.
Correspondingly, Yu Zhen was more and more deeply affected.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Jing will say that this is the most troublesome and even terrifying thing.
The special environment in Jingjiang Town makes it inevitable that everyone in the town will be affected as long as they start to come into contact with strange and related things, and they have not been able to find out the source at all now.
Don't forget, it's only noon on the first day!
In order to complete the task, Yan Jing and the others are bound to deal with evil and strange and even related things, which means that they will inevitably suffer from the other party's backlash......
Three days.
It may be just a slight illusion now, but what if it continues to deepen?
"We have to find a way to curb erosion."
Yu Zhen looked at Yan Jing and said in a deep voice.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw an answer from each other's eyes, and they invariably spoke,
"Three Buddhas!"
According to the bulletin boards and dossiers outside the government, the Sandu Buddha seems to have a very good effect on those who are not identified as earth immortals or gods.
This is undoubtedly a good place to start.
The Sandu Buddha statue, which can fight against evil spirits, could not have been created for no reason, and its maker must have known about the situation in the town, and may be able to obtain some important clues.
"What to do with these files, the clues above ......"
With a clear goal, Yu Zhen looked at the remaining stack of files.
"What else can I do, divide the labor, and minimize the loss."
If you give up collecting clues because you are worried about the deepening of the level of mental erosion, it is obviously an act of putting the cart before the horse.
When it was time to take a risk, Yan Jing never hesitated.
Sorting out the valuable clues, the two of them didn't care what to do with the corpses on the ground, they didn't have time to waste here now, and the less contact with the weird the better if it wasn't necessary.
Since the object controlled by the shadow puppet was dead, Yan Jing did not plan to return the same way, and after leaving the file room, he found a nearby wall and confirmed that there was no one outside.
"According to the records on the file, the pagoda that made the Sandu Buddha should have been after Zhao Qianwu and Yu Ke went to explore that half of the town, and we should rush over now?"
A pedestrian who opened his umbrella and pretended to be a passerby walked by the county office, Yu Zhen asked.
"We don't have enough time, from here to the pagoda, according to the route distance given in the file, let's walk less than twenty minutes, this is still on the premise that there is no need to find a way, plus the time required for the investigation, it is definitely not enough, I don't recommend forcing it over."
Yan Jing took out his watch from his pocket and glanced at it, now that there was only half an hour left before the agreed meeting time, it was undoubtedly a better choice than rush over and plan and then move.
Perhaps the other two had also found the key information at this time, and were in a hurry to meet with them to discuss it, and missing the meeting time would only make the situation even more confusing.
The two quickly reached a consensus on their next move.
Go back to the inn first!
It's just that what they didn't notice was that at the same time as they climbed out of the wall, an uninvited guest also appeared at the main gate of the county office.
The thin and stiff, shoulder-slumped man walked to the entrance of the county government with an umbrella, holding a shiny duck leg in his hand, eating while walking, and the eating appearance was extremely exaggerated, as if he was extremely hungry.
The skin and bones of the body are bulging and bulging in the abdomen, which makes the whole person look extremely uncoordinated.
He also wore three red ribbons on his chest, one of which was stained with dark red blood at the top, especially on the brownish-gray cloth.
As he walked, he looked at the empty side from time to time, and kept muttering,
"Good place, this is simply a treasure land specially prepared for me, this potential, don't borrow it for nothing!"
"Hey, this is the county government, you ...... These ribbons are yours? ”
As soon as the official wanted to make a sound to stop him, he caught a glimpse of the ribbon on the man's chest, and immediately widened his eyes and asked.
"Take me to the place where you store your past files."
The man glanced at the official, raised his feet and walked inside, the latter subconsciously wanted to stop, facing the man's eyes, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he took people to the county government like a marionette.
The scene has a somewhat familiar connotation.
It's just that this time the official mission brought into the county government is a complete devil.
When he leaves, he takes with him more than just information.
