Chapter 25: After saving the world, I have to go grocery shopping
After some time, when all the secrets were interrogated, Wu Ming lifted Otto's passage control and handed him and Liu Yu over to Zhao Xida to be tied up into zongzi.
Of course, in order to dispel their fear of the unknown, the old hunter also kindly offered them comfort (physics) and hypnosis (physics), and sent them to sleep in a physical way to rest.
"The rest of the matter will be left to me and the hunting group......" Alex hugged Wu Ming with his body that was nearly two meters strong as a bear, and only let go of his hand a little reluctantly when he almost unfolded his shield, "Thank you, brother, for your help, if it weren't for you this time, I really can't imagine how bad things would be, at least this area shrouded in fog would directly cover the real world, and I won't tell you that there have been similar collapse crises several times in the past, In the end, although it was stopped as it is today, it has never been so dangerous as it is today......"
Wu Ming was a little puzzled: "Dangerous? ”
Alex nodded and explained, "Yes, I believe you also got a relevant report from the little lady next to you." This area has been permanently stripped from the shallow layers of the shadow world, and has also established a stable enough connection with the real world that this change is irreversible for us...... What's worse is that in the past, the collapse crisis was an irreversible change that occurred at the end of the ritual, and the time cycle of the ritual often took about three days or even a week, but this time it has only been a few hours since we found out, what does this mean? ”
Wu Ming thought for a moment, with a slight uncertainty in his tone: "Maybe they improved the ritual, or used other methods to shorten the time required for the ritual, and directly jumped to the final stage?" ”
"It could be both, but luckily the ritual wasn't completed, otherwise this residential area would have suffered......" Alex looked at the rows of psionics who were lying on the ground, and had been knocked into a deep coma, and sighed in a low voice, "Poor fellow...... All in all, I'll leave the handling of these psionics to me and the hunting group. ”
"What will happen to them in the end? Well, I mean, what kind of 'handling' will these psionics be? Wu Ming focused on the word 'processing', and the other party offered to deal with the aftermath of his life, so he naturally couldn't ask for it, but thinking of the old hunter's consistent style and the hunting group that was very ominous when he heard the name, Wu Ming couldn't help but worry about the future of these people.
At that moment, Wu Ming thought a lot, from what methods this organization would use to quietly erase these dozen or twenty lives, from letting them all disappear mysteriously to making a series of forgeries of their identities to make them complete social and physiological deaths, all kinds of methods and possibilities were all in his mind.
Although Wu Ming admitted that the group of bear children and adults who almost broke into a catastrophe were basically a group of fools [beep--], but the life of the little fool [beep--] was also fate......
"Ah......?" Alex didn't seem to expect Wu Ming to have this question, and after being stunned for a moment, he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, we are not a group of murderous madmen. These people are all ordinary people who have been forcibly transformed, with many hidden dangers and instability, so they are destined not to be able to step into the transcendent world, we are going to find a way to lock up their transcendent powers, and wash away the memories of the transcendental, until they are confirmed to be harmless, and then let them return to normal society. And this incident is not over yet, I think we can leave contact information for future communication, and also so that you can keep abreast of their current situation......"
Zhao Xida listened quietly on the side, pursed her lips imperceptibly and said secretly in her heart: If you are not crazy, then there will be no madmen in the entire transcendent world......
Wu Ming suddenly became interested: "Contact information?" Do we use transcendent rituals to deliver secret messages? Or do you choose to summon an emissary to communicate? ”
Alex looked at Wu Ming with a strange face as if he had seen a rare animal: "What age is this, why are you still using extraordinary power to communicate?" ”
"So what should we use to communicate?"
"Mobile phones, many communication methods involving the transcendent field are not only troublesome to use but also very worrisome, so we basically use mobile phones to communicate. The big deal is to change the mobile phone magic, so that it can also have a certain degree of call function in most secret realms or worlds like the film world, but now the new generation likes to use social chat software to communicate, they think it is more convenient......" Alex said and took out an old-fashioned Nokia with a black and white screen from the big pocket of his trench coat and shook it, "Come, give me your phone number." ”
Wu Ming was speechless for a while, the facts once again proved that the set in those novels and comics was not credible, who said that when you step into the transcendent realm, you must act according to the rules and regulations of the gods and gods in the transcendent world? Don't you see that the hunters also keep up with the times and use mobile phones?
"Administrator, regarding the issues related to Lin Jiaojiao's extraordinary potential after taking [Truth], we need to do a good job of further processing." After exchanging contact information, Zhao Xida's eyes lit up, she pointed to the girl next to her who was a little overwhelmed and then looked at Alex, "Alex, does the hunting group have the means to temporarily appease the excess of extraordinary potential?" ”
Alex nodded, then pulled open his clothes and rummaged through the inside of the coat full of various knives and pieces of iron: "There are related props, wait a minute......"
It didn't take long for the old hunter to find a triangular silver plate engraved with strange runes and give it to the puppet girl: "This pendant was specially developed by the hunting group to suppress and appease the excess of extraordinary potential, and it can only be worn with you to take effect." To be honest, I really hope that this thing will never be used, so you can take it to the emergency and hope to find a complete solution as soon as possible......"
Zhao Jida casually threw the ornament to Lin Jiaojiao, and watched the latter hurriedly catch the pendant thrown over, the puppet girl said without any emotional fluctuations: "Take this talisman, although it can't eradicate the influence of [Truth] on you for the time being, but it can help you temporarily suppress the phenomenon of spiritual remains, remember, wear it with you, you can't leave it." ”
Lin Jiaojiao held the silver ornament with both hands as if she had been treasured, lowered her head and whispered thanks: "Thank you...... Thank you for ......."
…………
After sending Lin Jiaojiao home safe and sound, Wu Ming took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that after the toss of the previous incident, it was now three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and they had missed lunch time perfectly.
"Lao Zhao, go back and rest first, I have to go to the supermarket." Wu Ming greeted Zhao Xida, who was walking in front, and when he saw the puppet girl turning her head and casting puzzled eyes, he explained with a smile: "I'm going to have a reception banquet for Fei Ge in the evening, so I want to take a detour to buy some food......
Zhao Jida shook her head indifferently: "It's okay, I'll go too." ”
"Oh good, then let's go together, make a few more dishes in the evening, I didn't rush back to cook at noon, Elizabeth who was hungry for a meal might have to break down the house......"
I always feel that what I'm worried about is completely incompatible with what I just experienced...... Wu Ming, who was following Zhao Xida, suddenly had this thought in his heart, and he reached out and scratched his head with a funny expression: "Old Zhao, let's just save the world, right?" As a result, it didn't take long to go grocery shopping.,Do you think this gap and the change in painting style are a bit big? ”
