"How does it feel? Xiao Hao."

Inside the Institute of Life Sciences, there is a room with a single bed.

Professor Qian Yixue conducted a detailed physical examination on the half-grown teenager on the hospital bed, and then asked with a gentle smile.

"It feels good...... I have a good appetite, I feel comfortable, and I feel strong."

Yan Hao, a half-grown boy, once had a half-face relationship with Jing Chen, and his father had met Jing Chen on the bank of the Wang'an River.

However, Yan Hao, a half-grown teenager at this moment, is no longer the dying, seriously ill appearance before,

With a ruddy complexion and well-proportioned limb muscles, it is not strong, but it is not related to illness.

The vital monitoring device attached to his chest clearly showed that his heart and vital signs were healthy and stable.

"Dr. Qian, when will I be officially discharged from the hospital?"

The half-grown boy's legs and feet moved twice under the futon, and he seemed to be a little impatient to get out of the hospital bed.

The father of the half-grown boy next to him, the middle-aged man looked at his child's appearance at the moment, and before thinking about it, his eyes were red and red.

I still couldn't help but thank Professor Qian Yixue repeatedly with gratitude, and I couldn't wait to kneel down,

"Professor Chin...... Thank you so much, thank you...... Thank you for saving Xiao Hao's life, if it weren't for you...... I ......."

"Don't thank me. The side effects of the medicine we use are not small. It is also Xiao Hao himself who has enough desire to be cured, and he is also enough to cooperate with our experiment."

Professor Qian Yixue stretched out his hand and grabbed the middle-aged man, and then reached out and touched the hair of the half-grown boy.

The half-grown boy was lying on the hospital bed, grinning at Professor Qian Yixue.

Professor Qian Yixue also smiled at the half-grown boy, and then paused,

"If you are discharged...... Although the number of cancer cells in your body is now very small...... Organs and tissues that were previously cancerous are also recovering. But let's wait for a while. Shall we wait for your situation to stabilize a bit?"

Professor Qian Yixue said to the half-grown boy with a gentle smile.

The half-grown boy nodded when he heard this, and before he could answer, the middle-aged man next to him took over first.

"Xiao Hao, let's listen to Professor Qian. After a little more observation, when the illness is completely cured, we will be able to go home."

"Hmm."

The half-grown boy nodded in response, and the perennial illness made this half-grown boy extremely sensible.

Seldom make any demands to come, and rarely even disagree with the words of the parents.

I'm just looking forward to being able to walk in the outside world healthily.

Professor Qian Yixue's hand was on the half-grown boy, and after a pause, he asked again,

「…… Have you had nightmares lately?"

"It seems like it's still ...... It's just that sometimes I can't remember it when I wake up from a dream, and I don't know if it's a nightmare."

"I feel like I'm dreaming of another world...... That world is extraordinarily warm...... Free ......"

The half-grown boy replied to Professor Qian Yixue's words, and his eyes couldn't tell whether he was yearning or afraid.

Or, both.

「…… Sometimes, it feels like the world is extraordinarily real...... Near."

The half-grown boy slowly turned his head and looked at Professor Qian Yixue.

Professor Qian Yixue was silent, and the father of the young man next to him reached out and hugged his child tightly,....

He is also well aware that his children have been suffering from some nightmares.

「…… Well. Our medicine does have some mental and neurological side effects...... But you've stopped taking it now. It should get better in the future."

"If you want to get out of bed and move...... You can walk around the institute. You can also walk around the small courtyard behind the institute."

"Well, thank you, Dr. Qian."

Professor Qian Yixue paused, and then pulled the quilt covering the half-grown boy again.

He smiled gently at the half-grown boy, then turned and left the room.

His assistants, who were also his students, followed him closely

。

But the father of the half-grown boy briefly grabbed the assistant from behind.

"Journey...... Thank you. If it weren't for you...... Xiao Hao, he can't get the current treatment."

The middle-aged man took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and wanted to stuff it into the assistant.

"No, Brother Yan...... Xiao Hao was also lucky to be treated. It just so happened that Professor Qian still needed people to experiment, so I didn't play a big role."

The assistant just shook his head and refused.

The middle-aged man's red envelope was also not stuffed out.

「…… Brother Yan, I've always been curious, where did you know that Professor Qian could ......?"

「…… That is, it's online......"

The middle-aged man was a little stumbling.

「…… Forget it, you didn't ask me...... However, a little more about Xiao Hao's mental and psychological state. If you have another nightmare, you must tell us."

"I see."

The middle-aged man solemnly responded.

The assistant nodded, said no more, and left the room.

……

「…… The cancer cells in his body have largely disappeared...... But the impact of XR continues."

"Let's see if the effect of XR on him can disappear completely after a period of inactivity."

Back in an office-like, laboratory-like room.

Professor Qian Yixue spoke up again to his student, and his student and assistant nodded.

"What about you...... Have you been having nightmares lately?"

"In ...... It's like dreaming of a blood-colored world...... It feels extraordinarily real...... Sometimes I feel that the skin in some parts of my body is inexplicably itchy."

"Then you take a break during this time and don't touch XR again."

"What about you...... professor?"

「……」

Professor Qian Yixue's gaze flickered, and then shook his head,

"I'm fine."

The assistant looked at Professor Qian Yixue more, and finally bowed his head and was silent.

"Dongdong ......"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant raised his head and looked out.

Walked out and came back again.

Then he said to Professor Qian Yixue.

「…… Professor. The official organization is here."

"Well, you go out first."

The man came into the house, and the assistant went out and closed the door.

Professor Qian Yixue raised his head and looked at the young woman who called herself Mao.

「…… Professor Qian, has there been any progress in related research recently?"

The Rabbit Investigator has been in charge of some of the contacts of the Bureau of Heterogeneity for general research on monsters.

"Nothing has progressed...... I don't recommend using those disgusting things to try to cure some diseases that can't be treated by medicine right now." ….

"We don't recommend it either."

"Hmm...... I don't know if it's your organization's poor job of keeping information confidential, or if it's my side that's doing too badly."

"There are quite a few attempts to put money into the institute in the hope that I will do some weird research. Such as treating terminal illnesses, such as ...... Longevity."

"The only thing the Bureau of Anomalies can control is the Bureau of Anomalies...... I can't control the spread of information in other directions, especially in the direction of monsters. We'll take notice."

"Hmm."

The communication between Professor Qian Yixue and the investigator finally fell silent.

……

"Do you remember the torrential rain and flash floods in Wang'an City a few days ago, as well as the abnormally low temperature around the capital city? I always felt something was wrong."

"It felt like the flood came very suddenly, and then it went very suddenly."

"It's coming, it's coming...... Ordinary meteorological anomalies can have conspiracy theories. How can such a serious climate anomaly be caused by man? Do people have that ability?"

"It doesn't have to be a person, maybe it's something else?"

"It's on, it's on, it's time to tell ghost stories."

Capital, in the house.

Yu Chengheng, who had just done the maintenance and inspection of the Shenqi platform, felt very comfortable, looking at some discussions on the Internet about the previous floods and meteorological anomalies, and happily swallowed melon seeds.

Although the subsidence of the flood and the cessation of heavy rains did not seem to be a problem on the surface,

But there are too many people, and there are still some people who sense that something is wrong.

According to the knowledge that Yu Chengheng has learned now, he knows that this is why some people are born with too much inspiration.

It's not a good thing, too much inspiration often makes people die inexplicably, and if you are a little dull in your inspiration, you may still be able to live in a bad world here.

But it doesn't matter if these people feel that something is wrong.

Even on the Divine Revelation Platform at this moment, there are people who know more, the ability of the mysterious world.

It is difficult to get a glimpse of the true full picture of what has already happened.

However, Yu Chengheng consciously knew more than these people, at least he knew that this matter must have been solved by the great Divine Revelation Organization.

And he didn't expect that he was honored to be a member of this great organization, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline an arc.

Then it feels more scrappy.

「…… So what do you say? Can this kind of catastrophe be brought?"

"Maybe...... Is it the master of some kind of calamity?"

Those discussions on the Internet continued, but Yu Chengheng, who glanced at it again, couldn't help frowning.

Although the King of Calamity has been far away, the traces of the King of Calamity's arrival are still affecting some people.

still singing her name,

Looking at ...... It's eyebrow-raising.

Shaking his head, Yu Chengheng raised his head, looked around, and then turned from the news on the Internet to the news on the Divine Revelation platform,

"Huh?"

……

「…… Puppet flowers."

In the crisis of the advent of the King of Disaster, Yu Huanting, who had hunted some monsters many times, gained some growth.

At the very least, it will become more adept to hunt down some weak gluttonies and monsters like water treacheres.

However, for Yu Huanting, the most important thing is never to improve her strength, but to complete the task of Mr. Great Revelation. ….

Improving strength and growth is just to better complete Mr. Revelation's mission.

Although Mr. Apocalypse previously issued a task to find some materials, it was more like a casual mention, and he didn't say much about it later.

But Yu Huanting firmly remembered that even at this moment, she was still looking for it.

Outside the urban area of Wang'an City, it goes deep into the Longnan Mountains of the North Mountain.

Yu Huanting, who was wearing tight clothes, walked through the jungle vigorously.

At the same time, he silently recited the name of the thing he was looking for, hoping to use some kind of mysterious object, the memetic nature of the mysterious information.

Give yourself a little more direction.

Last night, she saw information about such an item on the Apocalypse trading platform, and according to the person who posted it, in the southerner region of the Longnan Mountains,

I once saw a 'Treant', and it is known that 'Puppet Flower', so that the materials that Mr. Revelation needs are generally accompanied by the Treant.

"Sassy ......"

The flood in the north of Wang'an City has only recently receded, and there is still some mud in the Longnan Mountains upstream of Wang'an City.

Rotten leaves and dead branches are mixed with the wet mud, exuding a smell of rot.

Yu Huanting, who was in a hurry in the jungle, turned over and jumped lightly, jumped on the branch of a not short tree, looked forward, and determined the next direction.

before continuing on the road.

The Treant Man is a tree-shaped monster with a human face.

However, it does not necessarily appear in the jungle, according to the communication of some people on the platform of divine revelation,

The Treant itself can move, and the weirdest one I've seen is growing up in a deserted house

in the living room of the hall.

"Who!"

Suddenly, when Yu Ting was wearing tight clothes and walking vigorously through this dense and inaccessible jungle,

In front of me in the jungle, I saw a building that looked like a temple on the land mountain.

In front of the building, there is also a humanoid figure kneeling.

seems to be hearing the movement of Yu Huanting walking through the jungle,

The figure who was originally kneeling and worshipping stood up and pulled a wooden stick from the side.

Eyeing her, wary.

Yu Huanting stopped her movements and looked at the figure blocking her way,

The figure looked like a thin old man with craggy flesh and bones, holding the branch, and it seemed that he was just guarding the ruined temple behind him.

However, Yu Huanting's gaze did not stay on the thin old man for long, let alone answer the thin old man's words,

Just crossed the old man and looked at the ruined temple behind the old man.

In the ruined temple, there is no worship of gods, but a twisted tree.

The tree emerged from the ground, piercing the original offering table with teeth and claws, and then twisted branches tangled like sarcoma-covered vines on the beams of the ruined temple.

And on the trunk, on the branches, on every sarcoma, there is a human face,

The human face is sad or happy, it is extremely distorted, like a human face, but it is not a human skeleton.

The branches of the tree stretched forward, extending to the front of the tree, until they pierced the body of the thin old man in front of the temple.

If you look closely, you can see that the thin old man himself is like flesh and skin stretched on bones.

It was more like a layer of sun-dried skin, stretched on a few branches of a tree with teeth and claws. ….

And this is also a characteristic of the Treant monsters, which like to fiddle with something like a puppet.

"What people! What do you want to do?"

The old man in human skin, who was completely supported by the branches of the tree man, threatened again violently.

But Yu Huantingli didn't pay attention to him, just searched around the ruined temple, looking for puppet flowers.

And the thin old man seemed to have finally been stimulated, and called towards Yu Huanting,

At the same time, the branches under the skin pierced his flesh and skin, and quickly snaked forward and twisted and grow, about to climb towards Yu Huanting.

"Puppet Flower ......"

Yu Huanting just dodged vigorously, and then saw the puppet flower behind the broken temple,

Directly rushed towards the puppet flower.

"Ah......h

The Treant monster seemed to be stimulated,

The trunks of the trees, the sarcoma-like faces of the branches suddenly twisted, and let out a sharp roar,

And then...... The treeman grew rapidly among the branches and leaves...... Blossomed.

Then the wind blew, and the flowers fell, some to the ground, and some to the thin old man.

The flowers that fell on the ground and on other trees, and even on the thin old man, took root.

And then the old man, the other trees, followed the flowers, and took root down, dense roots,

The things that get on the flowers seem to be used as fertilizer, and the seedlings of the tree man monster are growing.

Seeing that the situation is not right,

Yu Huanting dodged a few times, and after grabbing the puppet flower,

Keenly dodged the flowers that were floating towards her, and then, without hesitation, went straight into the distance.

Waiting to run away,

Yu Huanting looked back at the tree man again,

And he saw the tree man in front of him, and the thin old man knelt down again.

From somewhere else, more figures resembling thin old men emerged, kneeling on the ground, praying to the monster treeman.

「…… Lord, You are the Source of Life, You are the Mother of Life, You are the Creator of all."

"Lord...... You have given us life, you have given us eternal life......

Looking at it again, Yu Huanting took the wood in her hand

Even flowers, directly boiled.

……

"Tweet ......"

This sleep, Jing Chen felt that he slept very soundly directly.

After waking up from a midnight dream, I simply slept until the next afternoon.

I didn't have any more dreams of strange things.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside the window was already the sun began to set in the west.

Of course, if it weren't for opening the door and seeing the bloody mass guarding the bedroom door - Blood Eagle.

Late wake-up may be in a better mood.

"When you're hungry, open the fridge door and take out the buns and leftovers to eat, or heat them in the microwave if you want...... Well...... This may be too demanding for you as a bird."

Jing Chen casually looked at the blood eagle and said, then looked at the two claws of the blood eagle standing on the ground, and added the second half of the sentence seriously,

「…… Well, you can also go out and hunt on your own, catch two gluttonous eaters, river treacherous or something, I don't think it will be difficult for you."

Blood Eagle looked at Jing Chen and didn't say anything more.

Until Jing Chen opened the refrigerator door, picked up a few leftover buns from yesterday, and threw them to Blood Eagle. ….

"Eat, eat...... I won't eat it, I'll wait for Uncle Pang to come over later, and I'll eat fresh vegetables."

Blood Eagle didn't know if he understood Jing Chen's words, lowered his head, and pecked at the bun with a useless sharp beak.

Jing Chen sat on the sofa with a drink and a yawn.

Looking out the window, it was already the sun setting in the west.

Looking at the sunset in the west, Jing Chen couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it was better to be sunny.

The previous rainstorm was really frightening.

So now...... The crisis of the King of Disasters has also been solved.

It stands to reason that he should grow up normally and gradually.

That's the kind of ...... After some hardships, some ups and downs,

And then the strength grew step by step with difficulty...... It's hard to kill an outrageous monster that is stronger, but not as strong as before.,

Then get the material that grows stronger...... Well...... It's better not to do anything too dangerous,

There can be some ups and downs...... It can be a little exciting, but it's better not to be too dangerous, his heart can't stand it......

Well...... Jing Chen thought, and some of his thoughts diverged.

Then I couldn't help but shake my head.

He was infected by the dreamer Yu Huanting, what kind of beautiful thing do you want.

However, he also faces a looming problem now...... It's already evening, do you want to go out?

Just when the idea came to him,

Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of a restaurant downstairs, which aroused his cravings.

「…… So coincidental?"

"It must be a trick of fate!"

Jing Chen smiled and muttered, and stood up honestly.

The blood eagle next to him looked at Jing Chen, quickly soared, and flew out of the window first.

Jing Chen is incarnated as a shadow, jumping directly in the shadows.

After taking the potion...... The door lock in the house seems to have become something unnecessary.

"Ding Dong."

Returning to a familiar place, the phone rang again.

……

"Bird: The Great Mr. Revelation. The material you mentioned earlier, I've collected to the last one, puppet flowers.

Bird: How do I get this material to the organization?

Revelation: In fact, the collection of these materials is not so urgent. But I'm glad you were able to collect these materials.

Bird: It is a great honor for me to contribute some value to Mr. Revelation's needs!"

The message sent by Yu Huanting was as fanatical as ever.

Jing Chen looked at it, paused, and then replied seriously.

"Revelation: You can use the teleportation ritual to make the wood later

Give it to me.

Revelation: Other...... For your contribution this time, and for the previous contributions that have been with the experiment, and for what you've done over time.

Revelation: It's enough for you to trade in a potion, and you can think about what potions you need.

Revelation: Whether to take the Lord of Flesh potion again, or to change to another potion, I have a few options here.

Bird: Thank you, Mr. Revelation and the Order, I still choose the Lord of Flesh. I hope to be able to develop this flesh and blood ability a little stronger, so that I can offer more power to you, Mr. Apocalypse.

Revelation: Well, this potion will be given to you later." ….

Jing Chen thought about it carefully, and was still ready to give Yu Huanting a second chance to take the potion.

Yu Huanting can also be regarded as the patriarch of the Apocalypse Organization other than him...... Although God inspired him to be two people.

Moreover, Yu Huanting still has an inexplicable fanaticism for him...... It's like a fanatic.

"Bird: Thank you, Mr. Revelation.

Bird: Mr. Apocalypse, there's one more thing that I might need to report to you.

Bird: When I was collecting the last puppet flowers, I encountered a somewhat strange tree man.

Bird: This Treant monster has quite a few golems, or believers......

Bird: ...... The prayer they shouted was; 'The source of life, the creator of all.'"

Jing Chen looked at the message sent by Yu Huanting and paused.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the blood eagle that landed on my shoulder.

'The source of life,.

Does that sound like the Lord of Flesh...... But there seems to be some differences.

At least the second half of the sentence related to the real name has nothing to do with the Lord of Flesh and Blood.

「z021……」

Such a thing suddenly popped up in Jing Chen's mind.

Repeating it softly, Jing Chen gave Yu Huanting a reply to the message.

"Revelation: I see, I'll take care of this matter.

Bird: Okay, Mr. Apocalypse."

reported this matter to Mr. Revelation, and Yu Huanting on the other side was completely relieved.

As long as there is a great Mr. Revelation, and the great Revelation organization is in charge, even the most serious things can always be solved.

She has enough trust in the great Mr. Revelation.

How is the great Mr. Revelation going to solve this matter?

Jing Chen decided...... Alarm.

In other words, inform the Bureau of Investigation, after all, this is what the Bureau of Investigation is responsible for.

However, he didn't wait for Jing Chen to send the news to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

I first received a report from another patriarch of the Apocalypse Organization.

"Internet Migrant Worker: Mr. Revelation.

Cyber Worker: There's something I might need to report to you. Just earlier, there was a trade for a special item on the trading platform.

Revelation: Say it.

Internet migrant worker: A user of a trading platform who posts and trades an item called 'Fountain of Youth'.

Network Migrant Worker: The description says that after taking this 'immortal spring water, ordinary or capable people can regain their youth, and then restore their lifespan, and if they continue to use it repeatedly, they can live forever.

Revelation: I see."

Jing Chen looked at the message sent by Yu Chengheng and paused.

Judging by the description, this item is indeed somewhat special.

In particular, there is no mention of side effects.

Strictly speaking, there is a real possibility of mysterious objects in the mysterious world that make people immortal, such as monsters that turn into gluttonies.

It's just that this kind of immortality is probably not what those who have hope for this kind of thing want.

Jing Chen estimated that such a thing was not too far behind...... But I haven't heard of it before.

"Internet Migrant Worker: I have temporarily blocked this kind of thing in accordance with the relevant precautions, and no third-party personnel other than us and the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation have seen this item transaction information for the time being.

Internet Migrant Worker: I think, except for the side effects that have not been explained...... The biggest problem with this transaction message is ...... It's so cheap. ….

Online migrant workers: The price offered by the seller is too cheap...... Unless he really has to have a 'fountain of youth,'

Revelation: Okay, I see. Continue to keep it shielded and inform the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation about this."

Jing Chen looked at the message sent by Yu Chengheng and paused.

It's a great way to live for yourself...... If it's really good, it's really impossible to sell it that cheaply.

If it's exactly as described, it will only give a sky-high price.

Replying to Yu Chengheng's message, Jing Chen raised his head again, and then looked around,

At this moment, the position he is standing in is the old position.

You wandered beautifully, and then went to the bank of the Wang'an River.

"Let's see if there is anyone who is destined today?"

Jing Chen smiled, touched it from his pocket, and found the gossip map,

After laying it out in front of him, he sat down himself.

And then...... Send a message to the Bureau of Divergent Investigation first.

……

"The gluttonous eaters in Heshang Street, Chengnan District, Wang'an City have been resolved, and the relevant materials have been put into storage."

"The 056 incident in Chengbei District has been resolved, one investigator died, one person was seriously injured, and he has been transferred to the medical department for rescue......

「…… From yesterday's disaster, to now, a total of 13 special incidents have been handled by the Wang'an City side of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau......

In the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, the reptile and Lao Chen talked on the phone.

and Lao Chen, who was in charge in the center, reported some summary of the situation.

Lao Chen listened, paused, and then replied,

"It's similar here in the capital and around it...... Although the catastrophe and fate have gone away, the residual effects are still ongoing."

"This morning, there is also an evil organization that believes in 'calamity,' and is trying to summon calamity to come back and bring them into the kingdom of calamity."

Lao Chen was laughing as he spoke, but he was tired from laughing.

"To this kind of guy...... Let them all be stuffed to the monsters, and go to their lord."

Yinhu walked back and said weakly.

"Then they should be happy."

Lao Chen replied with a smile, Yinhu was silent, too lazy to speak, and sat next to him.

At this time, Lao Chen's special mobile phone rang again, Lao Chen paused, signaled to Yinhu and the reptile, and then picked it up.

"Revelation: If something happens in the Longnan Mountains, the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau may be able to go down."

Lao Chen's expression suddenly became solemn.

If it is necessary for the Divine Revelation Organization to specially remind the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation to pay attention, Lao Chen cannot be allowed not to mention it.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation, please speak."

And then

From the Divine Revelation Organization, Lao Chen learned about the matter of the Tree People in the Longnan Mountains and the problem of the Fountain of Youth.

However, after seeing the whole thing, I breathed a sigh instead.

"Lao Chen: We will especially enlighten the matter that Mr. and your organization have reminded us.

Lao Chen: But now that the disaster is not completely gone...... The whole world is full of similar things, and we will try to pay extra attention to the reminders of Mr. Revelation and your organization."

Just like Lao Chen said, at the moment, he is quite in a state of being in a state of not worrying about having too much debt.

Underneath everything, there is a deep crisis.

「…… Crawler. The Longnan Mountains are closer to you, so you should be in charge of checking the situation over there."

"Yinhu, you tell the investigators. The matter of the Fountain of Youth, shows that the seller is in her area." ….

Lao Chen told the situation to the reptile and Yinhu successively, and then made arrangements.

"Okay."

Yin Hu and the reptile nodded one after another and responded directly.

Lao Chen paused and looked at Yinhu again.

"How is she?"

"The investigator in charge of monitoring her status hasn't been posted recently

It's anomalous."

"After the Lord of Calamity left, she went from looking at the sky to return to normal, most of the time staring at the flowers and plants in the flower garden that had been polluted by her."

"Uh-huh......

Lao Chen let out a sigh and continued to get busy.

……

On the other side, after Jing Chen reported this matter to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau,

Temporarily put down the mobile phone, and sat in the old position on the bank of the Wang'an River, waiting for someone who was destined.

By the way, I ate the snacks I bought that smelled a little fragrant just now.

However, Jing Chen seriously suspected that the believer of fate, the old man Na Hong, had robbed him of his business.

So much so that the front door of his booth was crowded.

It is too polite to say that few people stay, and no one stops at all.

But Jing Chen is just having fun...... By the way, pay attention to the situation of the believers of fate,

I didn't care, just looked at the people passing by, and turned my head from time to time to look down on the situation on Old Man Hong's stall.

watched with great interest as Old Man Hong told fortunes to those in line.

If it weren't for the fear that the silk thread of fate would climb on him, Jing Chen would have wanted to go to Old Man Hong to settle a hexagram.

Look at what the future looks like for him, which he can't even see.

「…… Lately, you've been prone to quarrels with your children. If you quarrel, the conflict between you and your children will rise to a higher level."

"When the time comes, it will be difficult for families to reunite with their relatives...... You still have an old house in your hometown. This time it's sad, and you'll be alone there."

Listening to the content of the fortune telling given by the old man Hong, at first glance it sounds like an ordinary fortune teller saying comforting words.

If you listen carefully, you will find that there is too much talking, and it extends too much downward, as if everything is well arranged.

"Master...... That...... That'......"

The person who listened to Old Man Hong's fortune telling was an old lady, and when she heard this, her eyes were a little gray, and she couldn't speak for a while.

「…… Eh, you old lady, this is still going to be told by the master...... Listen to the master, don't quarrel with your family."

"How old are you, what's the benefit of winning a quarrel, you say."

The people in the back hurriedly persuaded the old lady.

"No more noise...... No more noise...... Thank you, Master...... Thank you, Master, for your advice."

"Everything is the arrangement of fate, and it is all God's guidance......

"Yes...... Thank God...... Thank you, Lord......

The old lady clasped her hands together, thanked her, and got up in a panic.

Before turning around and leaving, I remembered again that I had to give money to the fortune teller.

Hurriedly groped, and handed his hand to Old Man Hong,

"I don't want any money...... Remember the guidance of fate."

"Thank you...... Be...... Yes......"

Old man Hong didn't ask for money, which attracted a few more words of praise from the people next to him.

The old lady turned and stumbled to leave.

Jing Chen glanced at the old lady who left, turned around from the side, and picked up a stone in his hand.

After weighing it twice, he threw it precisely into the basket that the old lady was carrying.

And then...... The basket that the old lady was carrying was crushed by the stone, and the whole person stumbled a few times.

"Hey......

The whole person seemed to have his feet bent, so he groped and went to sit on the ground next to him and rest.

While she was resting, the old lady received a call from her son or daughter-in-law,

At first, I seemed to be a little angry when I said something, and then I was probably hurting my legs.

rubbed his legs, and couldn't get out of his breath, so he got up,

Probably because the person on the other end of the phone was in a hurry, and the old lady's own voice softened.

「…… I, what can I do, it's just that I was tripped up by one of the plague victims...... I ......."

「…… I...... All right...... Why are you so busy picking me up...... I'll just come back by myself......

The tone became more and more softened...... Until I hung up the phone,

Rubbing her legs and feet again, the old lady's eyes showed some doubts again.

Didn't she just break her foot, why didn't it hurt?

Eh, it's weird, it really doesn't hurt anymore.

She also got up and moved, and found that it really didn't hurt anymore.

Looking left and right, there are some doubts.

Here, Jing Chen clapped his hands, looked at the broken thread of fate on the old lady's head, and smiled.

I feel like I've had fun.

Set up stalls, fortune telling, and by the way, collapse the silk thread of fate.

「…… Eh...... How do you cut the queue?"

At this time,

In the stall of the old man Hong next to him, there was another noisy and shouting sound.

Jing Chen couldn't help but look sideways.

96.

Half-volume fragments
