Chapter 40: Man-made Disasters

"You're a fortune teller, aren't you?"

The young man, with impatience and gloom on his face, turned his head,

With not very polite, like looking at the goods, looking left and right in front of the Jingchen stall up and down.

"Then let me do the math."

"It's not."

Jing Chen watched this grumpy young man come to his stall,

I intuitively felt that there was a disgusting feeling in this young man.

Jing Chen was a little curious about the source of this disgusting and even disgusting feeling.

Glancing at the young man, he shook his head calmly.

The young man with an impatient face listened to Jing Chen's unexpected answer, and was choked at first,

Then his face became more irritable, his eyes were a little red, and his right hand clenched something in his right trouser pocket even more.

The silhouette is clearer through the trouser legs, like a dagger?

"Why the hell are you making fun of me? You don't want to do business, do you, this stall is paved with you tell me no! ”

The young man's eyes widened, staring at Jing Chen.

Jing Chen was more interested in the dagger-like thing in the young man's trouser pocket.

"Since you've seen it all and identified it, why bother asking."

Jing Chen responded calmly, feeling this disgusting feeling,

What's that?

A special item that exudes pollution?

But how can this feeling make people upset, even disgusted.

Jing Chen unconsciously imagined a violent picture.

For example, walking down the street, there is a bear child who keeps shaking your face with a red light.

For example, you have just changed into clean clothes, and a bear child comes to you with a water gun.

Well...... How is it all this inexplicable thought.

Jing Chen felt it again, the young man and the dagger in the young man's trouser pocket emitted this annoying pollution,

Then he looked at the young man.

The young man choked on Jing Chen's words again,

"What the hell are you ......?"

His eyes were bloodshot, his sockets were cracking, and he stretched out his other hand, as if he was going to make a move on Jing Chen.

"Tweet ......"

But just before he stretched out, the blood eagle that landed on Jing Chen's shoulder again,

Blood-red eyes stared directly at the young man and shouted at him twice.

Suddenly, the young man paused for all his movements,

His eyes were scattered, he lost focus, his face was distorted, he showed fear, and his whole body trembled like chaff,

It seems that in this brief moment, a great, indescribable fear was felt.

"Tick ......"

Blood spilled from the young man's ears and fell to the ground in two drops on both sides.

"It's fine."

Jing Chen looked at the changes that had taken place in the young man after the blood eagle had called twice,

There was a pause.

This one probably has something to do with the Lord of Flesh, maybe it's a Blood Eagle of flesh creatures,

It seems to have a bit of a special ability.

Raising his hand again, he gently touched the blood-colored feathers on the blood eagle's body, and said a reassuring word.

The Blood Eagle stopped on Jing Chen's shoulder, and under Jing Chen's comfort, he lowered his head again.

"Pop ......"

The young man fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

The body trembled uncontrollably, and there was lingering fear on his face and eyes,

In a panic, he wiped the blood flowing from both ears, and lay on the ground in front of Jingchen's stall, with his head down,

He didn't even care about the dagger-like thing in his pocket, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to apologize to Jing Chen, but he didn't make a sound.

But the previous irritability, impatience, and resentment were all drowned out by fear.

This counts, phlebotomy?

Jing Chen looked at the blood stains on the young man's face that had not yet been wiped clean.

"Get up, what are you doing on the ground, I don't have any money for you."

"Respect...... Great sir, I offended you......"

The young man couldn't stop trembling, but he still staggered and stood up again at Jing Chen's words.

His mind was still filled with what he had just felt, the lingering greatness, which took it all over.

What did he just see?

The great, indescribable being, that being is life itself, the existence of all truth.

And he, who was as humble as maggot dust, actually offended such a great being.

He deserves to die humbly and ignorantly, in a filthy and filthy gutter that does not see the light of day, and never to return to the bosom of the Great Being!

But the master of the great being has mercifully forgiven him, a lowly maggot.

At this moment, I feel the vague image of the great being lingering in my mind.

He is willing to give everything for the great being and His Master.

"Alright, sit down."

Jing Chen looked at the young man who was trembling all over his body, and said something out loud.

"I ...... Don't dare to sit with a great gentleman. ”

"Sit down."

With fear and reverence on his face, the young man sat down after Jing Chen repeated it again.

Humble he naturally thought it was an offense, but he could not disobey the will of the great gentleman.

"You just wanted me to tell you your fortune?"

"I don't dare...... I would like to ask my esteemed gentleman to give me some inspiration. ”

The young man paused, then bowed his head and said reverently.

"My fortune telling is quite expensive."

"I am willing to give everything for the great gentleman."

"Hexagram Jin wants the dagger in your trouser pocket."

Jing Chen felt that the process of this conversation was somewhat wrong,

But I kept talking.

Hearing Jing Chen mention the dagger, the originally pious and humble young man unexpectedly showed some panic on his face.

Immediately after, the frenzy resumed.

"It is my pleasure that Sir needs it."

The young man took the dagger out of his pocket.

The dagger was held in his hand, and the fanaticism on the young man's face revealed some other expressions,

Grumpy, gloomy, resentful, fanatical, all kinds of expressions are repeatedly intertwined, and finally a relieved calm is restored,

After Jing Chen took the dagger, he seemed to have lost all his strength, but he was also more sober, his body was almost curled up, sitting on the stool, his head bowed, and he was silent.

Jing Chen glanced at the young man, looking down at the dagger he had taken in his hand.

The dagger is cold in the hand.

The overall appearance is not very delicate, and the wooden handle is wrapped around a few loops of rough and burred hemp rope.

The blade is cut on both sides, the tip is sharp, and the edge is sharp.

It was probably steel or alloy, and the silver-white mirror reflected Jing Chen's face, reflecting the cold light.

Holding it in his hand at the moment, the disgusting feeling he felt just now seemed to be even stronger.

Jing Chen looked at this seemingly ordinary dagger, and his gaze finally rested on the little trace on the edge of the blade and handle.

On the body of the knife, there are still traces of blood that have dried up and have not been wiped clean.

On the hemp rope of the handle of the knife, there were also some traces of dark red soaking, and there was some smell of blood.

"How did the blood on the knife come from?"

"You killed someone."

Jing Chen asked, raising his head, his gaze focused on the young man.

Soon, the answer to this question was given by himself.

In the picture of the future he saw,

The young man was already in the interrogation room.

The police, who had already had conclusive evidence, showed the young man the surveillance footage of the crime he committed.

In the surveillance screen, it is a strange and terrifying scene.

On a moving bus,

It seems that the passengers of the whole car know each other, and they are riding in the car, going to a party or a trip somewhere.

Laughter all the way,

However, just as the bus was about to pass a winding road, the young man in the surveillance screen suddenly stood up,

With his head down, his face was unusually calm, and he walked step by step to the place where the bus driver was located.

The people who were familiar with the seats next to him probably called him with a smile, but he didn't answer, and at this time, several people nearby felt that something was wrong and stood up one after another.

However, the calm young man on his face moved faster, and he pulled out the dagger in Jing Chen's hand from his trouser pocket.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly and decisively stabbed the bus driver twice in the neck and chest.

Blood gushed out, blood dripped from the dagger, and the driver instantly lost signs of life.

And the people next to him were either afraid and at a loss, or pounced at the same time,

The young man, who was still holding a dagger in his hand, turned the steering wheel calmly and calmly, stepped on the accelerator,

The bus drove down the cliff outside the winding road.

Suddenly, the scene inside the car was chaotic, scattered and stumbled with the rolling of the bus, like waves were slapped on the inner wall of the car, and like waves, sometimes gathered and sometimes scattered.

And the young man who did all this was stunned for a moment,

Then looking at the driver's corpse, looking at the blood on his face, his originally calm and abnormal face showed a look of extreme fear and panic,

After that, the surveillance footage ends.

Jing Chen peeked into the picture of this young man's future, and the last scene was,

The policeman in charge of the interrogation, in a tone of incomprehension, asked the young man a word.

"Why are you killing so many of your colleagues in the same department of your company? As far as we know, you and so many of them don't have such a deep hatred. ”

At the end of the peep into the future picture, Jing Chen lowered his head again and looked at the dagger in his hand that was still stained with blood.

"Tell me what this dagger is."

Jing Chen asked.

And the young man who seemed to be awake at this moment, listening to Jing Chen's words, lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

Only then did a hoarse answer sound,

"Dream Dagger."

"I call him Dream Dagger."

"Why is it called that, it makes your dreams come true?"

"Yes."

"How do you know that? You made a wish on a dagger? ”

"I just saw it for the first time and intuitively felt that it would fulfill my wishes...... Make all my wishes come true. ”

The young man slowly raised his head, listening to Jing Chen's question, his eyes were in a trance,

"The first time I saw it, it was half embedded in the dirt and half exposed...... I accidentally walked by and pierced the soles of my feet. ”

"It doesn't say anything, but I just know that it will grant my wishes."

The young man said, a little more madness in his eyes, but then he regained his composure.

"Now...... I realized it was a trap. ”

"What is the cost of using it?"

Jing Chen raised his head again and looked at the young man, if there was no price, the fate of this young man would not be the way it is now.

“…… There is no cost, or rather, the cost does not need to be borne by you. but those who are in conflict with you endure. ”

"For the first time, I made a wish that my salary and income would increase."

"The next day, my colleague who was competing for a higher position was paralyzed in a car accident, and I was promoted and my salary increased."

"I like a girl, but there is also a competitor who, after making a wish, committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression."

"I want a windfall...... My mother died in an accident and the insurance company paid a huge amount of compensation......"

The young man's eyes were red again as he spoke.

Jing Chen looked at the dagger in his hand again, and already felt the weirdness of this dagger.

It may do what you want, but not necessarily the way you want it to happen.

"Go on."

If this were the end of the story, the young man wouldn't be here.

"I feel that my desire is getting stronger and stronger, obviously I have become richer and more powerful, but there are still more and more problems that I can't solve normally."

"I can only use a dagger...... Then I felt as if I was getting more and more irritable, angry...... I gave my subordinate a slap in the face, knocked him to the ground, and kicked him hard. ”

"He said he was going to the police station to report his injuries, I panicked and made a wish with a dagger, and after he went out, he was hit and killed by a big truck."

"It seems like it's going to cause a catastrophe around me......"

"What about this time?"

"Who do you want to kill?"

"I made a wish that my boss would die."

"But this time the result is different from what you think?"

"I didn't expect it...... I did it myself...... By the time I came to my senses, I was standing in front of the driver's body. ”

"You know, the bus, the bus carrying all the people and leaders of my department rolled down the cliff, and they probably all died."

"Even if you didn't die when you fell, at the bottom of the cliff, there was a bottomless lake, and you drowned."

The young man exuded a disgusting feeling, and his face showed some madness.

"But when the bus rolled down the cliff, the first blow threw me out...... There were no wounds at all except abrasions. ”

This dagger is quite decent, at least it didn't kill the people who made the wish.

"Then don't you make a wish so that you will not be punished for murder?"

Jing Chen glanced at the strange dagger in his hand, and then raised his head to look at the young man,

The young man didn't answer Jing Chen's question, but just looked at Jing Chen, silent.

Perhaps, he didn't have this plan.

It's just that the trajectory of fate deviated from the direction he wanted, and he met Jing Chen.

"How do you make a wish?"

Jing Chen didn't feel it, the young man said that, he could directly feel the effect of the dagger.

The dagger was quiet in his hand, as if it were an ordinary dagger.

“…… Pierce the chest with a dagger and make a wish. After the wish is over, the dagger will fall back out and the wound will heal. ”

After a pause, the young man answered Jing Chen's question.

Jing Chen looked at him, then at the dagger in his hand, and didn't have the slightest idea of trying.

He didn't have any impatient desires.

In addition, he felt that this dagger did not bring a wish that had been fulfilled.

It's more like a spread disaster.

It is held in the hands of man, and then spreads to the realm of calamity with human desires.

Jing Chen peeked into the young man's future again.

In the future picture, in front of his fortune-telling booth,

The police who came to arrest the young man would appear, but the sooner it was the investigator of the Investigation Bureau who sent Jing Chen a list of materials.

It just so happened that it might be more appropriate to hand over this young man to someone from the Anomaly.

As for this dagger?

Jing Chen looked at it, and he had to think about it.

In his room, three drops of the blood of the Lord of Flesh and Blood were dangerous enough.

Put in such a weird dagger again...... It feels a little insecure.

"Lord...... Master ......"

At this moment, a few more murmurs sounded in Jing Chen's ears,

Jing Chen, who was looking at the strange dagger in his hand, raised his head,

I saw the young man in front of me, and fell into a stupid look,

Repeating some words over and over again,

"Catastrophe...... Disaster ......"

And then the face became more and more fanatical,

"Catastrophe...... Disaster ......"

The voice is getting more high-pitched.

Jing Chen didn't stop it immediately, just waited for the young man to confide more information out of his mouth,

Only then did he speak up again,

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Jing Chen's words woke up the young man in the trance frenzy,

After realizing it, the young man's eyes contracted, revealing some fear, and he lowered his head,

Silence returned, and trembling all over.
