"Why don't we try to run together in different directions...... Maybe you'll be able to get a few gone. ”

The tourists living next door are also a family with children, and the parents can't hide their anxiety when they look at their children.

Hearing that there was a movement here, the tourists living in the next few houses also gathered one by one and talked in front of the door.

Someone was anxious to make such a proposal.

For a moment, several tourists stopped their voices, looked at each other, and were silent for a while.

In the end, Xu Anhe paused and shook his head,

"It's too risky...... I can try. How to run when you are old...... Besides, we're just a few of us. There are at least a hundred people in this village. It's all young. ”

"Let's just run separately again, so many people are chasing us, and none of us can run away."

Xu Anhe's words made people silent, and the two families who dragged their families were slightly relieved.

“…… So what are we going to do now, it's slowly getting dark now. ”

"The devil knows what to do...... I'm scared for now, and the people of this village will cook us in a pot. ”

Everyone was a little anxious and worried, and Xu Anhe was also a little anxious and helpless.

He wanted to come over, and everyone got together to think of a way, but he felt that everything was a dead end, and he was inevitably a little irritable.

“…… I don't know if the family that ran out just now will call the police. If we call the police, we might ......"

"Then let's not toss, maybe before the evening, there will be an official person coming?"

Someone paused, looked in the direction of the outside of the village with some expectation, and then said in a loud voice,

The others followed, too, looking out of the village.

“…… What if, what if not? ”

Xu Anhe said again, tearing apart most of the extravagant hopes of the others.

The crowd was silent again.

But there was no other way.

At this moment, they are equivalent to already being detained.

Under the watchful eye of everyone in the entire village, it was almost impossible for them to get out.

In addition to looking forward to the gods outside to descend from heaven and rescue them who are trapped in the prison,

It seems like there's no better way.

“…… In our opinion, we can only hope that the official people will arrive early...... Or the folklore activities in the village are simply weird......"

Xu Anhe looked at the others and said another word.

The others looked at each other and fell silent.

At this moment, in the house with an open door next to it, a woman from a village who looked to be in her early thirties came out.

"Are you hungry? There is still some food left in the house for lunch, do you want to eat some? ”

The woman had a smile on her face, and the folds on her face that had been flat and smooth came out.

The house next to it is not entirely for tourists, but also for the original residents of this village.

"Not hungry...... Thank you, thank you......"

"Oh...... Tell me what you need. ”

The woman's face remained as enthusiastic as they had when they first arrived in the village.

It's just that thinking of the sight they saw in this village chasing after the tourists who left the village,

The sight of chasing them turned a little pale.

It wasn't until the woman smiled and walked into the house that the tourists looked at each other again, but they didn't know what to say.

……

"Lord...... You are the source of life, the creator of all. ”

"I am your lost lamb...... Ask you to give us direction. ”

“…… Lord, you have blessed us with life......"

In this village, in that little square. At the moment, most of the inhabitants have gathered here.

Kneeling on the ground, young faces with fanaticism and praying.

And around the crowd, there are some twisted monsters,

Monsters are like chaotic beings that the Creator has pinched together a bunch of messy things,

At the same time, the body grows flesh and blood that resembles animals, and the rough bark that resembles plants.

Anything that could be considered a life could appear in this twisted monster, mixed together into an individual.

“…… Host...... You are the Mother of the Earth and the Creator of all life. ”

"You are the Creator of all...... You have blessed us with life...... We pray, pray to return to your arms. ”

The inhabitants of the village became more and more fanatical and obsessed,

Looking in front of him, it seems that he is peeking at a great, indescribable being.

What kind of existence is that, it symbolizes the source of life, the source and final destination of all life.

In order to return to her embrace, everything can be abandoned, even life, wisdom, and consciousness.

In the midst of the crowd, the leader shouted names like 'Mother Earth', 'Mother Life', 'All Creator'.

He stood up, and walked to the middle of the small square, where a twisted figure was tied like a lamb to the slaughter.

The leader stretched out his hand, and sharp claws grew out of his hand, directly tearing the twisted figure.

"Whoa......

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

"The Gift of the Lord......"

The juice of blood, gushing out like a rain of blood,

Scattered across the square,

When it fell to the sky, it became something like a blooming flower.

Slowly falling......

This group of fanatical people stretched out their hands, and kept shouting, murmuring,

Greeting the falling flowers,

Then he came into contact with the figure of flowers, which melted on the body, but grew plant-like rhizomes and sprouts under the flesh.

Those villagers who originally looked to be in their thirties suddenly looked even younger.

It seems to have gained a majestic vitality.

The villagers who originally looked to be in their twenties were more robust, and at the same time, some growths seemed to have nowhere to store, and with the majestic vitality, they squeezed out of the figures.

“…… Host...... Mother Earth......"

"Mother of Life ......"

And after that, some of those who were bathed in the flowers stood up,

He walked towards the twisted monsters next to him,

Until he approached the monster, the fanatical figure gradually melted into the monster,

The monster's body became even larger, only to add a fanatical face to the monster's original twisted body.

“…… Master ......"

It seems that a strange ritual has been completed again.

The young faces and figures who were still kneeling in the square shouted their Lord's true name more and more excitedly.

The body is also constantly changing.

However, in the corners of these twisted figures that are not noticeable.

The investigators of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation are also watching this scene with their hidden abilities.

Raising his head again, he glanced in the direction of the tourists who were trapped in the village,

Then he left the place again.

……

“…… Everyone in the village was affected. ”

"According to our records, there should have been more than 200 people living in this village. More than one hundred and fifty of them should be over forty-five years of age.

But now, it has been observed that no one looks older than the thirties category. ”

"Look at the situation of these people in the village...... It is basically in the stage of being seriously affected by their 'gods' and undergoing serious changes...... According to the person who provided the information, tourists visit the village these days. ”

"I've also made observations and found that these people have also been affected in some way or severely...... It's just that you may not even notice it. ”

The investigators gathered information and returned to the main road outside the village.

The Bureau of Abnormal Investigation is in charge of the senior investigators in Nanming City and the surrounding areas, and after receiving the situation.

At this moment, he has brought a group of investigators here, and dispatched many personnel from other departments to draw a large circle outside the village and seal it off.

The unitary investigator is a middle-aged woman who listens to another investigator's report.

Nodding.

“…… You can bring some investigators and bring out the people who can still be saved. ”

And then ...... Use some means directly to avoid unnecessary sacrifices on the part of the investigators. ”

The situation in this village is already very serious, as if it has reached the level of the original Qingming Temple.

The unitary investigators are already worried about the influence of the so-called 'Mother Earth' and 'Mother of Life'.

It has come to this land to a great extent with the call of prayer of these people.

"Yes."

The investigator answered, and went into action.

At the same time, a notice is issued to other investigators, other parts.

To deal with the current situation, in addition to the special methods of the investigators of the Investigation Bureau.

There are still some conventional means that can be used by the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

To deal with this kind of physical monster, some modern weapons also have a lot of use.

However, there are also a lot of ...... that are difficult to deal with with with ordinary weapons. Not to mention those conceptual existences.

It's the monsters in the village...... None of them can be completely wiped out by conventional means.

In particular, the authority behind the source of those monsters seems to be related to 'life'.

I am worried that even if it evaporates, it can reappear through the authority of 'life'.

But...... There's always something to do.

The investigator looked up at the distant village, pausing.

The situation here is already somewhat understood.

I don't know what happened elsewhere.

According to the information she received, it seems that this and the existence of the Fountain of Youth, and the 'Mother of Life', are blooming in different places.

……

“…… Lord, you are the Creator of all life. ”

“…… I pray for your mercy and attention...... Save your lost lamb ......"

Wang'an City, the narrow alleys that the prospect sees in the future.

The wandering old man, with the fall of night and the burning of the dark candle, continued to undergo a change beyond his human form.

In fact, when Jing Chen saw him, this old man who was suspected of using the Fountain of Youth, and who was affected by that unknown 'god', was already hopeless.

According to the Anomaly, it was the wandering old man who had been affected by the 'god' and the monster and had lost control.

He changed in the direction of the greatness of the Lord in whom he believed, and abandoned his consciousness and even his life in pursuit of greater truths.

He was still in a personal form before, but only barely.

By this moment, the body had completely collapsed.

At this moment, the shadow of the avatar melted into the shadow of the alley wall.

glanced at the old man who had basically lost his human form and had become a twisted monster,

Jing Chen raised his head again, looked over the wall at the end of the alley in front of him, and looked ahead.

Behind the wall, two investigators from the Bureau of Anomalies were sneaking around.

Although it is probably using some ability, hiding itself.

But here, night fell, and under the shadows, the figures of the two investigators seemed to be bright and flickering in Jingjingchen's perception.

As long as Jing Chen jumped lightly in the shadows, he could appear on the side of the two investigators at once.

However, the two investigators of the Investigation Bureau did not seem to have discovered the existence of Jing Chen.

Attention was spent most of the time on the twisted monster at the end of the alley, constantly shouting 'Lord' presence.

Jing Chen glanced behind the wall, followed by the alley on the other side.

On the road outside the alley, there are fewer passers-by visible to the naked eye.

Even if someone passes by occasionally, they are all unconsciously in a hurry.

But Jing Chen had already seen it around just now, and the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau did not set up any partitions and blockades around it.

Probably using some special item or ability.

Centered around this alley, unconsciously, there were a lot fewer people in a large area around it.

It's like most people sense some kind of danger here and subconsciously avoid it.

Looking out of the alley, Jing Chen paused.

I don't know if the figure who came to get the 'Fountain of Youth' will appear in the future picture that I peeped into.

After all, the future has changed a lot.

The Bureau's defense at this moment is already a relatively backward action.

Regarding the information shared by the Bureau of Anomalies with the Apocalypse Organization, Jing Chen knew,

From the afternoon to this point, the Bureau of Anomalies has monitored a number of anomalies, organizations related to the Fountain of Youth, and the people who use the Fountain of Youth.

…… Although in the communication with Jing Chen, due to Jing Chen's special reasons, the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation has basically made no progress in obtaining Jing Chen's information.

But in other things, the power that can be shown when the Anomaly is working,

More than all ordinary institutions, all ordinary organizations.

"Master ......"

"Master ......"

It was completely dark. The old man, who had completely turned into a twisted monster, had nothing but repetitive and frenzied mutters left in his mouth.

Seven or eight pairs of eyes on his body were staring in front of him, as if looking up to the truth and greatness.

The candle, which was not long, was extinguished immediately after.

On the surrounding walls, on the ground, the entire space has changed.

The original cement masonry walls squirmed, as if they had become life, and above this life,

Crawling out of some vines, twisted branches, and the old man's body that had become a monster, tangled together.

"Rustling ......"

However, the shadow of the wall and the wall itself are like two dimensions separated.

The scenery attached to the shadows was not affected.

It's the two investigators behind the wall, after the wandering old man and the surroundings are completely changed,

Probably affected by the severe pollution, he paused, but quickly eased up.

And at this time, a very small voice sounded again.

Jing Chen, who melts into the shadows, turns his gaze with his perception.

I saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure, who was slowly walking into the alley from outside the alley.

In the future picture, the figure of the one who came to take the fountain of youth.

“…… Friend...... I am also a believer in your Lord. Let me spread the glory of the Lord? ”

The figure smiled and spoke out to the alley and twisted figure that looked like a whole monster.

Then he walked in step by step and stretched out his hand.

Jing Chen, who was peeking at this scene next to him, frowned slightly.

Although he was not affected...... But the words of this figure are inexplicably demagogic and inducing.

The branches and vines that protruded from the wall did not wrap around the man,

The distorted figure of the old man did not attack the man.

Even the two investigators who were originally guarding the wall paused for their actions.

What is this ability?

Bewitch?

It doesn't seem to be the same as this Fountain of Youth, or the power of the gods.

Jing Chen looked at the person who came,

Then he looked behind the wall.

The two investigators behind the wall were quick to react,

Under the influence of this scene, the hot blood in the body seemed to be a little restless.

Finally, when the man had already put some of the 'Fountain of Youth' into a container, he made a move.

"Storm ......"

"Hot ......"

A sudden storm swept away the man with a scorching light.

“…… Ahem...... Of the Anomaly? ”

The man dodged in time, but he was still affected.

Standing up again, he coughed twice, but a confident smile appeared on his face again,

Then he smiled at the two investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies and said as usual,

“…… Actually, I'm your colleague. ”

It was this sentence that the two investigators of the Investigation Bureau actually paused to attack,

Then there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

And at this moment, the man took the Fountain of Youth, turned around and fled out of the alley.
