It may also be the dead branch of WZ021 that reminds the rat of what other anomalies have mastered.

Among the things that the Bureau of Anomalies has mastered, there is a special door.

It sits on the wall of a basement in the Bureau of Investigations' headquarters, or so on, the location of the Bureau.

A big reason for this is because of this door.

The door itself cannot be moved, like a normal door fixed to the wall.

When the door is closed, it is no different from a normal portal, except that some light shines through the gap in the door, attracting curiosity to open.

When the door is pushed open, you can see through the door to another world.

On the other side of the door, near is a meadow with dense vegetation, and beyond it is a rolling hill, and a corner of a lake can be seen next to it.

From time to time, a fresh breeze blows, and you can see dew dripping from the swaying grass and leaves.

It looks peaceful and peaceful.

It's just that the Bureau of Anomalies has observed through the door many times, but has not found the existence of animals and intelligent life.

However, through the door identification, it is true that many new plant varieties that cannot be found in the world can be found in the world.

In addition, I also found that the world on the other side of the door also has four seasonal climate changes.

Sometimes it rains heavily, and the flowing rain will wash away the soil under the grass, and even flash floods break out between the mountains.

Sometimes it is about the cold winter, and the grass of the world on the other side of the door will be all over the ground and yellow, waiting for it to sprout again.

And except for the picture of the other world that you can see directly through the door.

At the same time as the door opened, the door itself began to continue to spread some information outward.

As long as you are a few hundred meters around the door, you can feel the messages sent by the 'door'.

The content of the message probably says:

"Across the door is another world, and you can get through the door.

However, for each life that passes, a random one of that life's kindred dies. ”

This is the only thing that the Bureau of Divergent Tunes has in its possession that is directly related to the word 'world'.

'The world'...... 'the world behind the door'?

The more they thought about it, the more Lao Chen, the noble lady and others felt that it was very likely.

The rat who was the first to say this possible thing, and after the words came out, he felt that it should be like this.

……

After the discovery of the 'Gate', the Bureau of Anomalies conducted a great deal of observation and study on it.

After all, behind the 'door' is another world, and in this world that is getting worse and worse, the Anomaly Bureau also wants to give people a way back.

The mystery and peculiarity of this 'door' are completely beyond the comprehension of many investigators.

To say that this special and mysterious 'World Gate' can deal with the 'Lord of Flesh', it is completely acceptable.

In the beginning,

The Anomalies first went to the world across the door through an exploration vehicle that integrates a certain amount of intelligence, which can adapt to multiple terrains and extreme climates.

There are some built-in detection devices, and the program guarantees that even after the network is disconnected, it can still complete the task and return the same way.

When the exploration vehicle passed through the 'door', the Abnormal Investigation Bureau also used a primitive method to connect a rope to the exploration vehicle.

And after the exploration vehicle passes through the door, it shows that the rope is disconnected, and the network is disconnected.

And, through the door, I didn't see the exploration car appear in the grassland behind the door.

Then, until the scheduled time of the program, there was no exploration car returning from the world on the other side of the door.

At the time, there were several speculations.

One is that the place that appears in another world after passing through the door is random, and it does not appear directly in the place where you can see it behind the door.

At the same time, the relative position of the door in the other world may not be in place, and it may even be one-way.

The second is that some people suspect that the world behind the door is fake, and the world they see is just an illusion.

The final speculation is that it may not be possible to pass through non-living beings due to the cost of passing through the door.

Since then, the Bureau has conducted experiments on animals several times.

For example, a scarce animal is trained, and it is dressed and carried with some items, and then returns after passing through the door.

At the same time, the scarcity of numbers also makes it easy for the Divergent Bureau to confirm the cost of passing through the door.

Finally, several observations,

The information obtained is that the world behind the door is most likely true, and the place behind the door is random.

The gate is probably one-way, and none of the experimental organisms are able to return.

And at the same time,

Through observation, the Bureau of Abnormal Adjustment also discovered two hidden patterns.

The first is that the door is gradually expanding as more and more things or lives pass through it.

The second is that as a price, there is a high probability that the dead life of the same clan will die near the door first.

That is, if you pass through one monkey, and near the door there are other, no less number of monkeys,

The monkey who died as a price is most likely one of the monkeys.

But it's not absolute...... In an experiment, the Bureau of Abnormal Adjustment found that after a certain experimental animal passed through the door, none of the same animals of the same kind deliberately placed around the door did not die.

The dead were thousands of miles away, a zoo of the same kind.

The death of these same kind of lives as a sacrifice is particularly special.

Death instantaneously, without any trauma or sudden illness, as if it were sudden, without warning, lost signs of life.

At the same time, after the death of these beings, people's impressions and memories of him will blur quickly, as if some mysterious force is erasing the traces of its existence little by little.

The corpse will also be quickly powdered, as if it has been weathered, until the corpse is completely gone, and the impression in the memory is only a vague symbol.

It may still be in the depths of memory, but it is impossible to actively remember it.

……

If, 'world' means 'the world behind the door',

So what does this have to do with their response to the crisis of the Lord of Flesh?

Lao Chen raised his head and looked at the other investigators.

Wearing a hood, the reptile with his head down thought because the wound on his neck could not heal.

The lady next to her rubbed her forehead and temples, thinking too.

Even rats, after raising this possibility, tried their best to resist pollution while thinking about various possibilities.

It's that we can't deal with the crisis of the 'Lord of Flesh',

Should there be a heavy price to pay, evacuated to another world?

Or, in other words, in connection with the previous sentence 'God can deal with God',

Is it possible that in the world behind the door, there is a 'god' who can help the Heterogeneous Bureau and humanity in some way?

“…… Perhaps, we can shove the Flesh Lord's advent into another world behind the door. ”

At this time, the reptile said in a hoarse voice,

"At least, so far, we haven't been able to find any life forms that have come back from the world across the door."

"We may not be able to kill Him, but we may be able to cast Him out and keep Him from coming into our world."

Listening to the words of the reptile, the noble lady and even Lao Chen made a move, raised their heads, and the investigator's eyes even lit up.

"But...... The door can't be moved, and there's no way He can let us put Him in. ”

The rat was in some pain, and the flesh on his face was twisted a little, and he spoke again.

"But we have the ritual of teleportation and something else that can shift location."

The reptile said again,

"And this teleportation ritual is still the ...... He gave us"

The teleportation ritual mentioned by the reptile is naturally the teleportation ritual that relies on the 'he' of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

Strictly speaking, it is not possible to transport living animals.

The Bureau of Anomalies conducted an experiment using death row prisoners,

No one knows what the subject went through during the process, but it was a complete living person before teleporting.

When thrown out of the whirlpool portal on the other side, there was a pile of rotten flesh covered with tentacles, eyes, and flesh that was squirming.

But obviously, if it can be used to teleport the 'Lord of Flesh' descendant, no one cares about this side effect.

In addition, what the Lord of Flesh and Blood would bring to the other world was not within their consideration.

“…… Only God can deal with God......"

Lao Chen, the mouse heard the reptilian words, and then repeated this sentence one after another.

Probably, is the answer to these two sentences found?

“…… Tatsu Investigator. Your batch has already been shipped. ”

Although there are teleportation rituals, in practice, if it is particularly urgent, the Bureau of Anomalies is generally not very common.

At this time, an investigator came in carrying a metal box and knocked on the door from outside the room.

"I see."

Lao Chen and the others stopped thinking for a while, and successively looked at the metal box in the investigator's hand.

Lao Chen turned his head and looked at the other investigators,

“…… Let's take a look here, too. ”

The rat lay on the hospital bed and said with some difficulty.

After a pause, Lao Chen nodded,

"Put it here."

The investigator who brought it put it down and left the room.

The lady glanced at the other investigators and took the initiative to open the metal box.

On the metal box, there is a combination lock.

After the lady enters 'WZ021', the lock box opens,

The dead branch that had been preserved inside was revealed.

The dead branch is only a dozen centimeters long, like the branch of an ordinary tree.

The bark had decayed, with only a smaller branch in the middle.

Looking at the dead branch, the noble lady paused, then reached out and picked it up directly.

“…… It's still the same as before, and it continues to emit some pollution, but it's not particularly strong. ”

As soon as this dead branch arrived, in fact, the super high inspiration of the senior investigators already had a feeling.

keenly felt that his spirit suddenly relaxed, as if he had entered a familiar place,

However, with their will and ability, the investigators were able to resist the effects with ease.

The noble lady took the dry branch and looked through it a few times, and said aloud,

"I've studied it before, and it seems to have some growth-promoting effect on the plants near it."

"It also has a certain effect on wound healing."

"However, the effect is not clear, the effect is very small, and the side effects are obvious...... Just suspected that it had other functions, so I put it on hold for the time being, waiting for future research. ”

As the noble lady spoke, she directly handed the withered branch to Lao Chen,

Since the mysterious powerful man said that this withered branch is useful for Lao Chen's current condition,

Then show it directly to Lao Chen.

Lao Chen stretched out his hand to take it, followed by holding the dead branch, and paused for a moment.

I saw that the dead branches, which had been relatively stable and emitting faint pollution, suddenly burst out with a strong milky white light.

The light spread, encompassing Lao Chen almost instantly, and swaying all around at the same time.

In the milky white light, I saw that the wound on Lao Chen's body after the operation was rapidly regrown.

The flesh and skin of the body under the clothes squirmed wildly one after another.

"Lao Chen!"

"Tatsu Investigator ......"

The lady, the reptiles, the investigators, the rats and others instantly became a little nervous when they saw the change happening.

“…… All right. ”

Lao Chen shook his head and responded loudly,

Then feel the changes in your body.

It's just that as soon as he touches the dead branches, he feels the dead branches that originally emitted stable pollution.

Sudden outburst of intense pollution,

He felt a burst of warmth and vitality, and his mind suddenly became extraordinarily calm and peaceful.

At the same time, the flesh and skin organs on his body seemed to be cheering, and his spirit became extraordinarily sober.

The skin and flesh on his body squirmed, the wound was itchy at first, and the granulations were visible to the naked eye, and then quickly fused and grew together, healing his wounds.

If that's all there is to it, the dead twig should be considered an excellent healing item.

But in fact, this treatment is also a kind of pollution, after the wound has healed, the flesh on his body is still growing rapidly, and it is only an instant that he has some more growths on his body.

Feel a ...... at the same time A divine will is rapidly baptizing his heart,

He felt the beauty of life...... This feeling has never been so clear,

He felt the joy of his heart, the joy of life itself.

They're calling, they're admiring!

It's a miracle of life!

It was as if he felt a great, indescribable being looking at him benevolently and sorrowfully, and he rejoiced both physically and mentally...... How great and inclusive that being is.

- Everything exists because of life...... Everything should be subjugated to 'life'!

But these emotions should not appear at this moment.

He was affected......

At the same time, he also felt that in this almost baptismal pollution,

Inside his body, something that he had never noticed before stood out.

It was his flesh and blood, but it was out of his control, washed by the pollution of the dead branches,

It exists alone, on its own, and seems to have a life of its own, stubbornly resisting the influence of the dead branches, without the slightest change.

“…… Smack. ”

Lao Chen let go of the hand holding the dead branch, and the dead branch fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, on the floor of the temporary ward, under the cement floor, there were weeds that cracked the cement slab.

Weeds and shrubs grew out of it, quickly covering the floor of the room.

But then, the milky white light emitted from the dead branches contracted, and the grass and trees that covered the floor of the entire room did not continue to spread outward.

Lao Chen just glanced at it, and then focused on himself.

Without the pollution that kept washing away from the dead branches, the independent flesh and blood in his body that he had just felt could no longer be felt.

But my heart sank.

What exactly is that?

Something to do with the Lord of Flesh and Blood?

"Lao Chen...... What's wrong? ”

The lady picked up the dead branch and put it back in the metal box,

The other investigators looked at Lao Chen and hurriedly cared.

"It's alright...... After holding the dead branches, I felt a strong vitality pouring into my body, and everything in me came alive. ”

"It felt like seeing my mother again, in my mother's arms......"

"The pollution on this dry branch seems to be related to 'life', and it is somewhat in conflict with the pollution of the Lord of Flesh and Blood."

"However, the things behind this withered branch may be a little too generous."

Lao Chen looked down at his abdomen and the vegetation on his hand again, and said loudly.

"Life?"

"If there is a different god behind this withered branch, then it seems that there is some conflict between his authority and that of the Lord of Flesh?"

At this time, the mouse struggled, and spoke again.

He remembered the description of the 'Lord of Flesh and Blood' by the young monk in the Qingming Temple before.

"Master of flesh and blood, master of life."

And the things behind this withered branch are obviously also related to this 'life'.

Listening to the mouse's words, the other investigators, including Lao Chen, were all looking at the dead branch.

“…… Only God can deal with God. ”

The reptile with its head down murmured again,

Is there still a possibility that it can lead the existence behind the withered branches to fight against the Lord of Flesh and Blood?

These two beings themselves seem to be in conflict with each other.

“…… Mouse, you should take this dead branch with you first. It is capable of suppressing the contamination of the Lord of Flesh. ”

Lao Chen turned his head again and said to the mouse in a loud voice.

"Well, maybe, with this dead branch, I can live for two more days."

The mouse paused, then replied with a smile.

And then,

The dead branches reached the hands of the rats, and once again burst into strong pollution and dense fog of vitality,

The flesh that had split into pieces jumped up, as if against some kind of force,

It began to regrow little by little.
