Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Ritual Called Normal

Nearby, inside and outside several quiet tents at the same time, investigators from the Bureau of Anomalies also witnessed the whole process.

Jing Chen, who turned into a shadow, fell in a shadow not far away.

Watching this scene happen under the influence of the power of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, there was no interference, just quietly waiting.

The actions of the Bureau of Anomalies have begun.

That thin young man is one of the 'Lambs of Fate' in the mouth of the believers of fate

And in Jing Chen's eyes at this moment, in the short future picture, the thin young man who walked towards the tents in front of him,

On his head, the crumbling white silk threads that had existed in his limbs were becoming stable again.

Originally, it seemed that his movements changed with silk threads, but gradually became, and it seemed that the white silk threads that others could not see lifted the young man's limbs and body, and even his expression.

At the same time, it seems to have become a medium for the spread of fate.

Seeing the thin young man walk into a tent, Jing Chen's gaze didn't follow the other hidden investigators of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, and focused too much on the thin young man.

Instead, he looked at the old man who had just come into contact with the young man.

The old man had bandaged the wound on his arm, sat down in front of his tent, and leaned forward.

seemed to have forgotten what he was doing just now, and groped his way up in a bit of a daze.

After looking around for a while, I seemed to remember,

“…… Oh, and the clothes haven't been washed yet...... After a while, the clothes were washed and left to dry...... It's time to go out and buy groceries. ”

Walking a little faltering and muttering, the old man slowly moved his feet and bent into the tent.

And when Jing Chen finally looked at his back, there was already an extra white silk thread on his head.

The threads of fate are already beginning to spread.

I don't know, the thread of fate is pulling, lifting, and outlining what kind of drama it is.

Looking at the tent that was a little squirming, Jing Chen melted into the shadows, and then jumped in the shadows and appeared in the tent in front of him.

Then look at the situation of the 'Lamb of Destiny' at this moment.

“…… Hello. Do you need a teacher here? ”

The thin young man was a little nervous, and with a hidden confidence, he lifted the curtain of the big tent.

In the tent, the person in charge of this matter is obviously already an investigator of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

In the tent, there are already several rows of tables and chairs, and there is a small blackboard hanging directly next to the tent door.

But apart from the people who entered the tent, there were only two investigators from the Investigation Bureau in their early thirties, one male and one female, dressed in formal suits, sitting in a precarious position.

It's like an associate recruitment interview.

"Are you here to apply?"

The female investigator turned her head and smiled,

"Right...... I'm here to apply for a teacher's position, and this is my ...... My ......"

The thin young man stood by the tent, and after a pause, his attitude and appearance changed again.

It seems that at the moment he is in a normal teacher interview,

Leaned down slightly, walked in with some respect, and subconsciously seemed to be about to pull out his resume from behind him.

But after touching it a few times, I didn't touch the resume, and some doubts appeared in the eyes of the thin young man.

Just as he looked up and looked around,

The male investigator noticed, interrupting his movements.

"It's okay if you forget your resume. Tell us about yourself. What we need is a middle school math teacher. ”

"Hmm...... It was a pleasure to get an interview with our school...... I am a ...... who graduated from a normal school and majored in mathematics teaching in secondary school."

As if ignoring the tents around him at the moment, the thin young man naturally stood in front of the blackboard,

A little reserved, but confidently began to introduce himself.

He believed...... Everything is arranged by the best of fate.

God has given him guidance!

“…… We are satisfied with your conditions. So be it. If there is no problem, you will come to the school tomorrow to start the internship period. ”

After the whole interview process is completed,

The two investigators froze before one of them spoke up.

"Okay...... So which classroom are we trying out in, and are there any students? ”

The young man's face flushed a little, and he responded nervously and excitedly.

"Yes...... The students are in the next classroom. ”

This is not a school, where does the classroom come from.

However, after a pause, the two investigators gave this answer.

The young man's expression did not change in the slightest.

"Come with us, please."

The two investigators stood up, and the thin young man nodded nervously and apprehensively,

Lift the tent on the other side of the tent.

Outside the tent on the other side, children of different ages were waiting.

"Dear students...... This is the new teacher who has come to teach us. Let everyone welcome. ”

"Teacher, this is the student in your trial class, you can start ......"

The students waiting outside the tent were supposed to follow the arrangement of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau and enter the tent to cooperate with the class.

But now I'm out of the tent,

There was a child's gaze that was a little puzzled, but then the doubt faded away.

And the two investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies don't seem to see anything special in them.

It seems like it's just a school classroom.

And the thin young man was the new teacher.

A group of people were unaware of the tents around them, and the environment was abnormal, but they just followed some kind of hidden trajectory and went down to carry out their own things.

Incarnate in the shadows,

I witnessed this calm and eerie scene all the time.

Begin to implement the plan from the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations,

From the beginning, this thin young man just wanted to recommend himself as a temporary teacher to lead the children to study at the resettlement site.

and then it became a formal recruitment interview for a certain school.

And then to the present. Inside the makeshift settlement here, in the dark night and rain outside, in the flood water that keeps rushing towards this side,

The thin young man who is the teacher and the children who are the students go to the class as if they were ignoring it.

"Boom ......"

"We turn to page 12 of the book......

The thunder and the torrential rain roared incessantly, and the sound drowned out by the thunder did not stop for a moment.

Jing Chen looked at this strange scene, and he also felt a little chilled.

At the same time, in the line of sight, those children, those children after class, and then have contact with children, even things,

White silk threads also begin to appear.

In front of Jing Chen's eyes,

The white silk thread is gradually becoming denser,

The white silk threads that connect directly to the sky within the line of sight, from sparse and scattered, to dense,

And then with those things, the movements of people, began to intertwine with each other.

The entangled ground seems to be airtight, making people look depressed and breathless.

The temporary settlement where the thin young man was located also began to change.

All the people of the entire settlement, began to live their usual and peaceful behaviors and actions,

But these ordinary actions, in Wang'an City, under the heavy rain and floods here, are really very strange.

The thin young man taught the students in the 'classroom'.

The old man took out a lot of dirty clothes from the tent house, carried them, and went to the raging flood to rinse them.

There was also an old man, carrying a basket, saying that he was going out to wait for the bus to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Another sanitation worker picked up a broom and said he was going to sweep the leaves on the road.

The owner of the restaurant is busy setting up the stove and preparing to open the restaurant.

The driver of the taxi also rushed home, saying that he was going to charge his car.

So, an old man carrying a vegetable basket walked into the raging flood several meters deep without stopping amid the smiling greetings of the people next to him.

Strangely, instead of submerging the old woman, the flood retreated from her.

……

"Didn't the children of the third family say that they were going to get married? Said to see the evening first to help. ”

"The night is over......

"Hey, no, stop by for dinner."

"The children of the three families have reached the age of marriage, it's really ......"

Placing the hotel, Yu Huanting, who had just hunted the gluttony, returned to the room, and heard some noisy movement in the corridor outside the door.

It's just that this noisy voice is different from the past two days, and it seems to be chatting about home.

But I remember that in the evening, the same two voices were still arguing in the hallway over the distribution of food.

Yu Huanting paused, then leaned against the door, looking out through the cat's eyes on the door.

I saw two old ladies at the door of the house, each wearing a brand-new cotton jacket, carrying a bag and bag, smiling and talking to each other.

On his face and forehead, there are still scars and scratches, which were left by the quarrel between the two in the evening.

At this time, with the words of the two of them, the scars and scratches on the forehead on the face also disappeared strangely, and it became as if nothing had happened.

"This kid is all big in a blink of an eye. You see, he just got married here, and maybe his children will be older when the time comes. ”

"Hey, that's ......"

"By the way, you're dressed so well, where are you going?"

"Son, I came back in the evening, and I said I wanted to invite you to go out for a meal."

The two of them smiled happily, and the scar on their foreheads gradually disappeared.

Yu Huanting listened, frowned, and looked out the window.

Outside the window, under the darkening clouds of the night, there was still a continuous and dense torrential rain, and the flood water that flooded the two floors below.

The sanity of these two old ladies has been affected?

Yu Huanting thought, left the house through the window next to her, and walked around the entire hotel here.

Then the whole hotel was discovered...... At the moment, they are going on with their normal lives...... It's just out of step with the rainstorm outside the house.

Some people cook, some people are ready to go out, and some people are busy with their own business.

"Rina: Mr. Great Revelation. Something unusual has happened to the place where I live, and I suspect that it is under the influence of some powerful monster......"

As a member of the Revelation Organization, Yu Huanting naturally reported the matter to Mr. Great Revelation.

"Revelation: I know.

Juana: ...... Is there anything I need to do?

Revelation: Nothing needs to be done, wait for the rain to stop.

Rina: Alright, Mr. Revelation. ”

Receiving Mr. Revelation's reply, Yu Huanting was relieved.

With the presence of Mr. Great Revelation, the weird things will eventually be resolved.

"Knock Knock ......"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Yu Huanting's living room.

It's the old lady outside the door,

"Little girl, do you need to throw away the garbage at your door, I'll throw it away by the way when I go downstairs."

The old lady shouted enthusiastically, and Yu Huanting subconsciously wanted to open the door.

Then he was startled, and his heart lifted.

Why did she open the door?

Yes, it was the old lady of the neighbor who was eager to help, and she always opened the door to thank her.

Wrong...... She is now in the hotel, where is the neighbor, where is the garbage at the door.

…… Say thank you, right?

Then turning her head from time to time and looking at the room where she lived, Yu Huanting's eyes were repeatedly a little dazed and dazed.

For a moment, she couldn't tell where she was.

But then,

The great figure of Mr. Revelation came to her mind,

She woke up again. Then he locked the door shut,

retreated to the edge of the bed, just sat upright, with his heart in his mind, and looked out the window tightly,

Waiting for Mr. Apocalypse to say, the time will come when the rain will stop.

……

"Uncle, I'm still doing laundry at night."

"I only have time at night, I see that it is windy here, and the weather is good, so it can be dry tomorrow morning......"

Almost all of the people in the camp where the thin young man was were not left in the room.

It's like you can't see the torrential rain and flood outside.

People old and young, with smiles on their faces, seemed to be focusing on the raging flood,

I followed the steps, from the high, to the low, and then stepped directly into the flood.

Immediately after, the surging flood was gradually fading away in these various ordinary actions.

The old lady who was the first to step into the flood was first submerged by the flood, and then the flood did not know why the place receded.

The old lady's face, head, body, and limbs were revealed little by little from the flood.

There was still a smile on the face that was exposed, and the movement of walking on the legs and hands did not stop from beginning to end.

It's like digging a lifelike terracotta figurine out of the dirt, and what was buried before didn't affect her posture.

The old lady walked out of the settlement.

Then came the old man, who took a stick and set up a drying rack on the ground, and hung his clothes in the rainstorm.

It's just that after the clothes were dried, the dense rainstorm didn't fall on the clothes anymore, and the washed clothes shook slightly in the wind.

One individual scattered from this indoor settlement for this 'ordinary' reason.

In Jing Chen's eyes, except for seeing the torrential rain and flood gradually fade in front of this group of blind people, disappearing silently.

At the same time, what you see is a brief future picture,

The dense white silk threads intertwined with these people,

The whole world seemed to be encompassed by a huge fabric machine, and the white silk threads gradually moved forward, spreading little by little to the surroundings.

Gradually, it filled the whole world, filling all the gaps in the whole world with that dense white silk thread.

The torrential rain that was still falling ahead, the raging floods, the corpses floating on the floods, and the dead wood, were gradually wrapped around the wisps of white silk.

Seeing Jing Chen, he felt a little itchy all over his body, as if he also had white silk threads on his body about to grow.

Finally, groups of people came out of the various buildings,

Walking out into the street, the flood on the street disappeared abruptly as if it had never existed.

These people, who were originally trapped on isolated islands by the flood, also seem to be unaware.

It's just that those who open the shop go to their own store, and those who eat enter the store.

It's like a normal night, a normal street.

It's just that after the flood waters receded, the streets were still thick with mud, as well as piles of corpses and all kinds of dirty debris

and the darkness of the whole city after the power outage.

Let this seem like a normal scene,

It's more like performing a weird ritual called 'Normal Peaceful Living'.

meantime

It seems that the story is too complicated, and the scenery standing on the side, occasionally you can see under the thread of fate,

Occasional vulnerabilities that can be seen.

“…… Let's eat a bowl of ravioli. Simply take a bite outside, so you don't have to go home and start the fire again. ”

On the street over there, there was an old lady talking to the side,

It seems to be speaking to her wife.

It's just that there is no old wife on her side, but empty.

However, this vulnerability is also disappearing very quickly.

As the white threads became more and more dense, everything became more and more perfect.

Following an almost perfect trajectory, it proceeds in a regular manner.

Beside the old lady, an old man gradually approached and took the old woman's arm.

The two of them were still talking, and they didn't seem to have said anything, and walked towards the dark shop next to them.
