Chapter 33: The Vigilant Watchman

Within two days of the incident, the entire river had almost exploded.

Such a big monster roamed the streets of the city, and anyone who was not blind could see it in the nearby streets. Although the river crab god urgently dispatched to work all day, he still couldn't stop the news from spreading by word of mouth among those in the know.

By the next day, the river crab beast seemed to have simply given up the treatment, and the post was not deleted or blocked, and there was a bad trend of "destroy it, hurry up".

The unfettered Internet suddenly became lively, and descriptions of the eve were flying all over the sky. In one night, 10,000 people in the know rushed out, all claiming to be at the scene, and describing the horrors of the scene and the crisis of the scene.

Rumors are like the devil's carving knife, everyone has to leave some traces on it once they spread it, and when they are spread by the time they are spread by the time, they may not be carved into what they have become.

The river crab beast is suspected of letting go, but most of the news circulating on the Internet is still limited to text and there is no video or picture image. Anyway, everyone has no pictures and no evidence, so it naturally depends on who makes it more like and more exciting.

In addition to the terrifying madness and terrifying monsters at the scene, the focus naturally falls on the mysterious man who stopped all this.

I don't know who first released the news, but gradually everyone knows that it was a mysterious cross-dresser who destroyed the monster and stopped the disaster.

No one has any footage of him, and the only information available online says that he looks like a bat. Other than that, people don't know anything about him, except that this warrior ended the disaster alone without teammates and no foreign support, and stopped the expansion of the disaster in time.

A large number of "eyewitnesses" appeared one after another, saying that they had seen the mysterious hero with their own eyes.

"He can fly, I saw it with my own eyes! I saw him flying in the sky and fighting that monster! ”

"I saw it too, I testify! I saw him flying around from the window of my grandma's room! And he definitely had super power, and I saw him blast the big guy out with one punch, and the building was crushed. ”

"He can spell, he can breathe fire, he can freeze, and he can call the wind and rain. Bet on a pack of spicy strips, he's a mage......"

“......”

As the topic fermented, the matter attracted more and more attention, and soon someone unearthed the news that had not attracted attention two nights before.

For example, a woman walking home at night was attacked by an idiot, and Mysterio appeared and broke both legs of the attacker.

For example, if someone is making a fight in the street, the street lights along the street suddenly go out on the spot, and the troublemakers fall to the ground after a burst of smoke.

At that time, there were criminals who were arrested and shouted in horror about vampires, bats, and the like, but they didn't attract attention. This will make people go back and look through the previous news, and suddenly they will realize that those who are talking about the mysterious hero who appeared in this incident are the same person.

One class representative summed up all the information that could be found on the Internet and sorted out the mysterious knight's abilities: he could fly, he could be invisible, he had the arm strength to overturn a car with at least one hand, and he probably knew the grammar of spells......

As the next day approached night, officials finally spoke out.

A department called the Ninth Division, which had never been heard of before, stepped forward and held a press conference. At this press conference, the spokesman disclosed information about the existence of infected people to the public for the first time, and even said that the official website of the Ninth Special Service will be released from tonight, and everyone can check more details about the infected people from the website.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves and caused an earthquake at the level of the whole society.

Although there were no clues of anomalous events before, there were also some conspiracy theorists who muttered that the official concealment of the news, and the alien invasions predicting the destruction of the polar planet abounded.

But even then, no one believes, or no one wants to believe that such a thing could be true.

Fear was the first to spread widely through fiber optics and telecommunications.

On the night after the announcement, everyone realized, quickly or slowly, that the world they knew might no longer exist.

From now on, they will live in a world where care needs to be taken at every turn. They need to adjust to the life of everyone around them who can be crazy, they need to watch out for every darkness and shadow they pass by, and they need to constantly check themselves to make sure that they are not crazy.

At the same time, there were heinous acts in various parts of the country that night. Crime rates of all kinds have skyrocketed overnight, perhaps because someone is feeling lost in fear of the future, or someone is unleashing their already entrenched evil thoughts under the guise of infection.

That night, the Jiangdu Office Building of the Ninth Special Service Department.

Luo Yajun stuffed his crumpled uniform into a locker and changed into casual clothes. He zipped up his backpack and slung it to his back.

"Ready to go?"

His boss, Chen Meiyue, leaned against the door at some point.

Luo Yajun didn't look back.

"It's only been a few days away, and it's not the first time anyway." He said indifferently.

It is strictly forbidden to shoot ordinary people who are not infected without permission. Although he may have killed people who deserved it, many of them were ordinary people who had not yet been infected.

In fact, it was just a suspension, and it was already considered that he had made a meritorious contribution to this operation, which could be regarded as a top net.

"Maybe that guy is right." He said suddenly.

"Who?" Chen Meiyue asked.

"That laughing madman." Luo Yajun sat in the clouds of smoke, "He said that what people are afraid of is 'nothing', all the unknown and uncertain.

Those fears were originally hidden in the deepest part of everyone's heart, and the openness of the infection event unearthed them. Fear drives society to change, drives people to release their primitive side, and makes the world begin to get closer to what it was. ”

"Again?" Chen Meiyue shrugged, "It's about your pessimist tone again?" ”

"It's realism. Believe me, humans can surprise themselves with demons of their own creation, and I've seen this a lot since I was in the sheriff's office. ”

Luo Yajun took a puff of cigarette and groaned for a moment.

"A new era is about to begin, and the extraordinary will become the fuse." "People's fear of the unknown will be magnified like never before, and uneasiness and anxiety will lead to deeper darkness," he said.

So I would say that what is going to happen next is going to be a dark age, and the bottom line is going to be cheaper than ever. Gone are the days when people could sleep peacefully, and people need to watch out for every darkness and shadow around them, and even need to be vigilant to make sure that they are still normal. ”

"So you're not going to like this era."

"Won't like it? Are you kidding? ”

Luo Yajun laughed and changed his words.

"I love this era." He snuffed out the cigarette butt and chuckled, "That means I'm going to have an endless stream of scum to kill."

I'll kill those lunatics and crush them all until there's none left, or I'll finish the game before then.

But anyway, I'm going to really enjoy the process...... Even if it is alone. ”

Chen Meiyue's beautiful face tensed for a while, but after a while, she burst out laughing.

"Hahaha I'm sorry, but it's just the way you said this seriously...... It's kind of funny. She waved her hand, "But you're exaggerating too much......"

She was about to say something, but a rush of footsteps in the hallway interrupted her. The two followed the prestige, and soon saw Tang Li panting at the door.

"Did you see that?" She asked straight to the point.

"See what?" The two looked at each other.

"Quick, look out the window."

Tang Li walked through the room to the window, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain with a bang.

Chen Meiyue and Luo Yajun both came to the window.

Then they all froze.

The dark night sky, with no moonlight and no stars, is like an infinite curtain that stretches to the horizon.

And in the middle of that deep and boundless background, there is only the only light source that is unique, but it seems to reflect the whole night.

The golden warm light pierced through the thick black clouds, leaving a circular field of light in the night sky, and an angular bat lay in the middle of the field.

There is no path of light, it cannot be traced, and it hangs high in the night sky like a full moon.

Like the only beacon in the vast darkness, more like a sleepless watchman in the night.

That's a signal.

A simple signal that anyone can immediately grasp the meaning at a glance.

A new era is coming, and the world will change. But with this era comes not necessarily only darkness.

When people walk in the night and see darkness and shadows, they don't have to be afraid.

For there is not only sin in darkness.

And the watchmen who are always vigilant.
