Chapter 7 First Contact

Drops –

The bell rang for a long time, but no one responded, and Lu Yun, who didn't know what to do next, looked at Feng Ran as if asking for help.

Feng Ran seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, and his tired expression with a slight smile did not change.

He put his hand on the inside of his shirt, took out a dagger with a short forearm, and handed it to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun cautiously took the dagger and looked at Feng Ran with a puzzled expression, I don't know why he wants to give himself this thing, it can't be to stab George, right?

He had never heard of a post-war anomaly that could be dealt with in this way.

"Press the button on the side of the grip."

Feng Ran ignored Lu Yun's doubts, and Lu Yun could only do so.

Airplanes!

With a slight tremble, a blue glimmer lit up the dagger's blade and blood groove.

"The high-frequency Aether Dagger, one of the standard equipment of the Field Support Department, can easily cut through most materials outside the Aether alloy, and can also cause effective damage to most post-war anomalies."

In Lu Yun's astonished stunned look, Feng Ran introduced him.

"Can the post-war anomaly be solved with a knife?"

Lu Yun didn't expect that the conjecture he thought was impossible would come true.

"Of course not, kid, it's the aetheric energy on the blade that really kills, and the anomaly can't really be killed after the war, the purpose of killing is just to make it easy to control."

Feng Ran looked at Lu Yun with a look of "What are you thinking?" Expression.

This is in line with Lu Yun's impression that it is difficult to deal with after the war, but there are more questions arising from this.

Why is Aether able to inflict damage on post-war anomalies? And since they can't be killed, where did the post-war anomalies that spread throughout the populated areas before the rise of the Aether Corporation?

Lu Yun wanted to throw all the questions to Feng Ran, but he didn't intend to answer them when he looked at him, after all, Lu Yun was not a formal employee, and there were some things that he didn't know yet.

"Prepare to enter the door, a memetic anomaly of this level generally does not leave the place where it is generated, and now I probably know the situation of the other Georges, and I plan to wait and see what happens."

As he spoke, Feng Ran stretched his waist and began to stretch his body.

"Don't you have a weapon?"

Seeing that Feng Ran had nothing in his hands, Lu Yun couldn't help but be a little worried about him.

"Don't worry, boy, of course I have, instead of worrying about this, you should join me in hoping that this 'George who writes poetry' is a physical memetic anomaly."

As he spoke, Feng Ran raised his right foot.

"There should be, it's exchanging poems with me with your hands..."

Without waiting for Lu Yun to finish speaking, Feng Ran kicked on the door.

There was a loud bang, and the dark red door was kicked into the house, along with a ring of surrounding walls.

Lu Yun looked at this incredible scene in shock, although it was not as good as the security door configured in his own urban area, but this was almost the highest configuration of the civil security door in the suburbs.

You can be kicked like this... Is this really something that humans can do?

"Don't stand stupid, boy, come in."

Feng Ran didn't take a breath, and walked in as if he was going back to his own home.

Lu Yun recovered from the shock and walked into the tenth-floor household with Feng Ran.

The room was pitch black, and the only way to see the dust raised inside and some of the tables and chairs that had been smashed by the door could only be seen by the light of the door.

However, because of the similar house types, Lu Yun still groped for the switch of the light in the dark.

There was a crunch, and the aether tubes on the ceiling lit up the darkness.

Lu Yun's pupils shrank as he found that the entire room was filled with "George".

As long as there is a place where you can write in the one-bedroom house, "I am George" is written in various languages, including Chinese, English, Russian, and some languages that Lu Yun does not recognize.

Even behind the door that was sealed and kicked off, "I am George" was written all over it.

Suddenly, the same bitter taste as downstairs spread from the base of Lu Yun's tongue to the entire mouth, only the taste was more intense.

Lu Yun didn't know what this bitter taste represented, he didn't know why he suddenly tasted the "taste" even though he hadn't been in contact with anyone, and he didn't know whose taste it was.

The bitterness was too pure, and there was not the slightest hint of other flavor mixed in.

The urge to admit that he was George burst out from the bottom of his heart again, but it was still within Lu Yun's tolerance.

On the other hand, Feng Ran seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and he didn't know if he also had the same impulse as Lu Yun.

After looking around, he walked straight to a door.

It was the door that connected the bedroom to the living room, and it was the only door in the interior of the house, and like the rest of the room, it was covered with George.

Just as Feng Ran was about to inflict the same atrocity on it, the doorknob suddenly turned.

Lu Yun tensed his nerves in an instant, ran to Feng Ran's side, and stared intently at the abnormal movement of the door.

Feng Ran also looked ahead, his right hand hanging in front of him, and made a gesture of holding something.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes stood on the side of the door with a calm expression, wearing the usual casual clothes in the neighborhood and with a slightly chubby figure.

Although the Ether Corporation was founded and established settlements in the East, it was not uncommon for people to leave the West and settle in the East for a long time during the era of the Resource War.

"Hello, I'm George."

The Chinese with round characters couldn't help but make Lu Yun wonder if this person was just like everyone else, just polluted by the post-war anomaly?

Until, George turned in the direction of Lu Yun.

George "turned on".

Like a paper fan that has been opened, the blonde George is still in place, like a piece of paper, dozens of people of different appearances and different races form the "folds" of the fan.

The appearance of "George" who finally faced Lu Yun was the singer in Tsing Yi in the choir.

Lu Yun couldn't believe his eyes, goosebumps instantly stood up, and a chill mixed with nausea made his stomach churn.

And "George" stretched out his hand to Lu Yun, and his hand was "opened" as if he had just turned around.

The blood-red sword light flashed, and George's fan-like hand was cut off by Qi Qi, and it had already turned into pitch-black smoke before it could touch Lu Yun.

Another flash of knife light, this time it was George who opened the dozens of bodies flashed several dark red knife lights, and a large area of "George" turned into the same black smoke as just now.

In the next moment, the rest of "George's" body pulled away in all directions, and disappeared into the words "I am George" throughout the room.

Feng Ran snorted in surprise, and there seemed to be a bit of trouble in his tone.

His right hand had a long knife at some point, but it didn't look much better than "George".

The muscles and blood vessels of the tender powder are intertwined to form the back and handle of the knife, and the crimson blade of the knife is like a blood clot.

And its blade and grip are like a deformed heart, driving the pulse of the entire knife, bursting out with a strong smell of blood.

Lu Yun came back to his senses from his nausea, and his sense of shock at the "knife" held in Feng Ran's hand was no weaker than that of "George".

He even wondered if he was hallucinating, should such a thing really exist in reality?

Feng Ran patted Lu Yun, who was still a little unconscious, and made him clearly realize that he was indeed in reality now.

"Okay boy, take that dagger and mark all the words in the living room with me, this guy is not strong, but it's quite troublesome."

After Feng Ran finished speaking, Lu Yun noticed that at some point, the words "I am George" written in the bedroom had been scratched a few times, and the original dark handwriting had been gray.

"Well... Okay, the knife..."

Lu Yun pointed to the strange long knife that Feng Ran was holding in his hand, which was still pulsating.

"This? Don't worry about it, just think it's cutting-edge ether technology. ”

Feng Ran put the long knife on his shoulder and said an explanation that Lu Yun didn't believe at all.

Since Feng Ran didn't have the will to explain clearly, Lu Yun could only use the dagger to obediently do what he told first.

After all, Lu Yun has not forgotten that this is still his entry test.

Lu Yun found a place on the floor that said "I am George", and easily stabbed it with a high-frequency ether dagger, a burst of black smoke came out, and at the same time, Lu Yun's mouth once again flashed with a bitter taste of unknown meaning.

The dark black font became dim, and Lu Yun clearly felt something dissipate.

Just as he wanted to go to the other "I am George" on the edge of the stab, a piece of paper "George" that Lu Yun didn't recognize rose from the deep dark words and stretched out his hand to Lu Yun again.

Almost subconsciously, Lu Yun swung the dagger diagonally upward, turning it into black smoke again.

"That's good, boy, that's it."

Feng Ran said on the side, his hand holding the hilt of the knife, if Lu Yun didn't react just now, he would take action for him.

Lu Yun didn't speak, and only after he reacted did he feel palpitations, he had already suffered too much impact and was really speechless.

In the next few minutes, Lu Yun and Feng Ran crossed out the room full of "I am George".

"Probably not, right?"

Lu Yun eased up a little and asked Feng Ran for confirmation.

"No, the anomaly won't go away completely, and if we really have cleaned it all up and weakened it completely, it will definitely end up in some kind of material form, not nothing like it is now."

Feng Ran shook his head and began to look down to see if he had missed something.

Lu Yun seemed to remember something, and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

This is the "George's Poem" he received from George when he first came here.

Lu Yun spread out the piece of paper, intending to cross out the George on the piece of paper just like in the room.

The moment he opened the paper, the blonde George burst out of the "I am George" on the paper.

When neither Lu Yun nor Feng Ran reacted, they fell into Lu Yun's eyes.

Lu Yun suddenly collapsed, unable to move.

Grass...

As this last thought dissipated, Lu Yun's consciousness fell into darkness.
