"If you mean religious beliefs, I don't think so."

"Why do you ask?"

Jing Chen answered this question, and saw that in the video screen,

The old man in military uniform, who called himself 'Lao Chen', was visibly slightly relieved to the naked eye.

Jing Chen was a little curious about the abnormal bureau's question and such a reaction.

“…… There are those who see them as gods, willing to worship them, prostrate themselves at their feet, seek the truth in their hearts, and become a more perfect form in their hearts. ”

The old man in military uniform listened to Jing Chen's question, and was silent for a moment before replying.

"Someone thinks of monsters as gods and becomes believers in monsters?"

Jing Chen's expression under the mask paused, and then asked.

But the old man in military uniform did not answer again, stood upright, lowered his eyes, and was silent.

However, not answering, and not answering is also a message in itself.

It was the old man in military uniform who saw no need to answer his words, or the old man himself admitted that the more powerful 'monsters' were 'gods'.

Jing Chen glanced at the old man in military uniform in this video screen,

"Investigator Tatsu, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

“…… The second question we want to ask is, Mr. Revelation, do you own an organization, or do you belong to an organization? ”

The old man in military uniform paused, then raised his gaze again.

For this question, Jing Chen was a little silent.

He's done everything possible to get some potion formulas from the Anomaly, so naturally he has some ideas.

But when it comes to organization, he seems to be ...... right now

Jing Chen raised his head, and then his eyes showed on the screen of his mobile phone, the nickname he made up at the moment,

“…… Yes, I belong to the 'Divine Revelation'"

Looking at the name 'Revelation', Jing Chen created an organization on the spot.

Although this organization is still simply embodied in Jing Chen's mouth, it only has a name.

"Apocalypse?"

The old man in military uniform muttered and repeated, it was a very unfamiliar name.

In this terrible world now, the Anomalies can get potion recipes through some things, and others can naturally do the same.

Some small organizations may have a few people who got the potion formula by chance, and after taking the potion, they luckily didn't die, and they dared to call it an organization when they got together, and it might be more accurate to call it a 'small gang'.

This part of the organization is also in the grasp and understanding of the Heterogeneous Bureau.

The remaining organizations are composed of fanatical believers who believe in certain so-called 'gods' that need to be attacked by the Heterogeneous Bureau and annihilated when they are discovered.

Basically, these fanatical believers claim to have the gaze of their 'gods', the 'divine favor' of their gods, and the power of some 'gods'.

Often, these bewitched believers, hoping that their 'gods' will come, will only end up seeing a twisted, disgusting, chaotic monster...... To them, of course, that is their god.

And at this moment,

As for the 'divine revelation' that came out of the mouth of this Mr. Apocalypse, the old man in military uniform had never heard of it before.

However, when the old man in military uniform thought about it, it was normal, and they had never known about this powerful man before, so they could only say that the organization of 'Divine Revelation' had been hidden very deep before.

"Mr. Revelation, our transaction with you this time should be quite pleasant, and now that the Divine Revelation to which you belong and our Anomaly Bureau should have good communication and cooperative relations, I think we can continue this kind of transaction and cooperation in the future, right?"

The old man in military uniform said again.

"'Divine Revelation' abides by the law as well as morality."

Jing Chen knew what the old man in military uniform wanted to say when he turned around, so he replied directly.

"Thank you, Mr. Revelation, for your words, and I think the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation and your organization will always be able to maintain a good working relationship. When there's something going on in the Bureau of Investigation, you might need to ask your organization for help. ”

"What the Anomaly Bureau can't do, 'Divine Revelation' can't do."

"Haha, Mr. Revelation is polite."

"Is there anything else Investigator Tatsumi would like to ask?"

"We want to ask more, but I'm afraid Mr. Revelation doesn't have that much patience to answer for us...... The ritual on our side is ready, please prepare four candles on Mr. Revelation's side as well. ”

"This ritual ritual for passing objects has been sent to Mr. Revelation, please cooperate with Mr. Revelation later."

"Okay."

Jing Chen turned off the camera of his mobile phone first, and only kept the voice call.

The mask was still not taken off, and he glanced at the ritual ritual sent by the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

Feel...... It's kind of weird.

According to the requirements of the ritual, Jing Chen took out four low-temperature candles from the drawer in the bedroom room.

They were placed in a corner of the study, then the lights were turned off, the door was closed, and they remained alone.

“…… The master of knowledge and wisdom. ”

"The ruler of all time and space."

"The All-Knower of All Known."

"You are the symbol of wisdom and truth, you are the source of knowledge."

"It's everything, it's everything."

"You devout believers, here pray, pray for the mercy of your gaze......"

While silently reciting the prayer, Jing Chen also drew a circle on the floor of the study according to the ritual.

I don't know what that means.

At the same time, Jing Chen can also hear the opposite side of the voice call,

Probably the old man in military uniform, also reciting a similar prayer,

It's just that the last sentence has changed,

It becomes, 'Pray that you will give these insignificant items to another devout believer.' ’

Listening to the solemn and respectful words of the old man in military uniform,

Jing Chen's mouth was still in accordance with the requirements of the ritual, and he kept chanting prayers,

But the thoughts in my head can't help but drift,

Is this a so-called 'god' intermediate?

The god described in this passage seems to be a bit powerful, right?

Can I use this ritual as well?

Jing Chen thought, and then felt that the candles he placed in the four corners of the study suddenly dimmed,

Immediately after, a door opened on the wall in front of the study,

The door seemed to unfold gradually, the whirlpool of the abyss, blooming with a brilliant and extraordinarily attractive brilliance,

It seems to be the most wonderful existence in the whole world.

Then in the whirlpool, a box of things was thrown, and immediately after, the whirlpool disappeared suddenly.

Only the candles in the four corners of the study were still burning normally, but there was an extra box of things in the study compared to before.

“…… Mr. Revelation, you should have received the materials we need to pay you. Then this time our transaction and exchange is over. ”

"Okay."

"If there is anything, Mr. Revelation can communicate with us in the current way."

"Hmm...... Can I use this teleportation ritual of yours? ”

“……”

"Yes. However, this teleportation ritual can only teleport a small number of things. Used outside of the Anomaly, it may not always have a response. And you can't teleport people. ”

"Thank you."

Probably hearing Jing Chen's last words, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau took the initiative to end the call.

Jing Chen didn't care, but happily pulled down a piece of wool from the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

Then, I didn't bother with the box of things on the floor next to the study.

Instead, he first pulled the pen and paper, and wrote down an extraordinary potion recipe on the paper.

"Puppets."

"The face of the human tree the heart of the man, the cannibal grass ......"

"Ability: Ability to create a controlled, remotely controlled puppet with the user's own abilities.

Side effects: In addition to the regular side effects, it is easy to become obsessed with the puppet identity and lose oneself in the process of manipulating the puppet. ”

This is what I saw from that 'old man', a potion recipe for the future of the Anomaly.

It's really suitable for people like him who want to survive.

When the time comes, the puppet goes out to fight and die, and his body is hidden in a safe place.

It's just a pity that I didn't see any other members of the Anomaly, otherwise I might have been able to get more potion recipes.

…… Probably, because of the influence of Song Zhou after peeking into his eyes, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau has some concerns about facing him.

Looking at the three formulas in front of him, Jing Chen was a little excited,

Then, his excited expression gradually subsided, and he raised his head to look at the drop of blood in the glass jar on the desk in front of him.

This drop of blood was still lying quietly at the bottom of the glass jar at the moment, but just now, when Jing Chen recited those prayers,

The drop of blood was restless, as if it had been affected by some kind of influence, and kept shaking in the glass jar, but it didn't come out of the jar.

What exactly is this drop of blood...... Is there anything to do with gluttony?

Can it be used in the potion recipe of the 'Lord of Flesh'?

Jing Chen thought about the future picture he had seen earlier, obtaining the 'Lord of Flesh' potion formula,

Then he stood up and went to unpack the bag first.

It's an alloy material, similar to a medical incubator.

With mechanical buckles on all sides, they were opened one by one, and after the lid of the box was uncovered, the contents were revealed.

A printed checklist. The bottom of the box is covered with dry ice that is steaming cold,

Dark red blood in glass-closed containers was neatly stacked on it, labeled with a single volume of 1,000 milliliters, a total of two copies.

Secondly, it is placed on the other side, such as vines and flowers...... None of these plants have ever been seen, and each of them is very intimately labeled.

The most amazing thing about these things that seem to be plants is the sunflower...... Because it really shines a little bit,

In this somewhat dimly lit study, it is particularly obvious.

Picked up the list, looked at it, and confirmed that this was the amount of two 'Lord of Flesh' potions, Jing Chen confirmed that there was probably no locator in it,

Right next to it, he sat down again.

Is he going to try to take the potion now?

Will he just explode into rotten flesh after taking the potion? Or a bunch of slippery tentacles popping out from under your clothes?

For this matter, Jing Chen can't see the future directly.

He looked at his future in the mirror, and all he could see was chaos and distortion, indescribable, nothing else.

Some, like he saw later, this world is further into the future.

……

“…… Investigator Tatsuna...... Something went wrong. ”

Just when the call with Jing Chen ended, the four senior investigators had not left, and they were still discussing the relevant 'divine revelation' matters.

An investigator from the Bureau of Anomalies knocked on the door and walked straight into the room.

The investigator looked haggard and tired, with heavy dark circles and bags under his eyes, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were full of wrinkles.

Obviously in his thirties, his face looks much older than normal.

"What's the matter? Something happened to him? ”

This investigator is one of the people who specializes in guarding, or accompanying the Bureau's most important thing.

Seeing him appear, the old man in military uniform, the four mice suddenly stopped talking and looked at him.

"Hmm...... Originally, he was in the yard and looked at the flowers normally...... But suddenly it didn't move, and it stiffened in place for a long time...... It wasn't until I came here that I was back in action...... It's anomalous. ”

The investigator spoke up.

The four old men in military uniforms suddenly stood up, and they didn't care about discussing the matter of divine revelation and the mysterious 'revelation', and suddenly got up,

"Let's take a look...... Exactly when it happened. ”

"Ten minutes ago."

"Ten minutes ago?"

The old man in military uniform repeated it over and over again, slowing down his pace,

Ten minutes ago, they were delivering something to Mr. 'Revelation'.

……

"Mom...... Time to eat. ”

Wang'an City, in a house.

Ever since he took the signature that his mother asked for and unsigned it for the 'homestay lover' gentleman,

When the young man returned home, he took a leave of absence and did not go to work for the two days, but stayed at home with his mother.

His mother seemed to have been affected by the signature for the past two days, and her mood was a little wrong, and she basically spent every day in bed.

Although when he was eating, he usually spoke out to persuade his mother not to take that strange signature to heart.

But not only was it useless to his mother, he looked at his mother's appearance, thinking about the words of the signing and the signing gentleman, and he also had some worries and worries in his heart.

It was already evening, and the young man was making dinner in the kitchen.

As he came out of the kitchen with the stir-fried vegetables, he shouted for his mother to eat.

“…… Mom, where are you going? ”

saw that his mother, who hadn't gotten out of bed for two days, was at this time before he shouted,

I had already changed my clothes and came out of the bedroom room.

I still carry a cloth bag in my hand, which I often carry when I go out,

In the face of his gaze, his mother was still hunched up, her head bowed, and ducked closer to the side.

“…… Mom, it's time to eat, where are you going? ”

“…… I, I'm going out for a trip. ”

His mother bowed her head and leaned sideways, avoiding the young man's gaze,

"Mom, where are you going?"

The young man was already frowning.

"I ...... I...... I'm going to Qingming Temple to make a vow. ”

His mother clutched the bag in her hand, bowed her head, and walked past the young man.

"Mom!"

The young man had been thinking about it for several days, and at this moment he just heard the words 'Qingming Temple' coming out of his mother's mouth.

My heart is full of sighs.

couldn't help but shout out to his mother,

His mother walked out for a moment, then staggered and trembled, and was about to go out again.

“…… You eat in the house...... Dinner...... Wait a minute, Mom will be back later......"

"Mom...... Let's not go, it's night...... Can you not go out for this time...... Let's get through it and get through the next few days...... Mom......"

The young man took two steps and reached out to take his mother's hand,

He remembered what his husband had said before, and saw that his mother was now so stubborn to go out,

He was so afraid, that he could not be afraid,

He was afraid that when his mother went out, it would be fulfilled, and he would never see his mother again.

“…… Mom, let's not go out......"

The tone was almost pleading, and the young man said.

"Xiaocheng, you just stay at home, mom will go out for a while, you are good...... Just have dinner in the house...... Mom, I'll be back. ”

But his mother ignored his words, and with some impatience reached out and pushed away the young man who was taking her hand.

"Mom...... Don't go out, Mom...... Please...... I beg you to ......"

The young man naturally didn't want to let go, he would rather drag hard, he didn't want his mother to go out at this time,

In particular, his mother was acting very unusually at this time.

“…… Xiaocheng, you just stay at home...... Dinner, don't worry about Mom, Mom just goes out......"

"Mom! Why do you have to go out at this time! I've said it all, it's time for dinner, so don't go out!

Seeing that his mother was still unrelenting, the young man became a little angry, and took his mother's hand and roared.

"Xiaocheng...... Mommy has to get out, mom has to get out...... Mom has to go to Beishan......"

His mother's eyes were also red, and tears were puffing in her eyes, but the movement of her hand was already pushing the hand that the young man was holding,

"Mom! If you have any need, you must go out, and if you have to go out, what must you do! You go to Beishan and go to Qingming Temple to make a vow! I don't know what you have to wish for! ”

"Would you like them to draw this lot for you? What are you obsessed with, Mom! ”

"Don't talk nonsense...... Don't talk nonsense! …… Host...... Master ......"

"Mom!"
