The old man who was stunned in place with the kettle in his hand got out with the death of the 'Substitute Walker' and moved again.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the blood and water on the ground, and a lot of the collapsing flesh and blood mixture was stained on the upper of his trouser legs.

His eyes changed, his gaze was a little dazed at first, and then he looked closely, stretched out his other hand, bent down slightly, and tried to reach out to grab the pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

But the hand only stretched down a little, and the old man stopped moving.

Then he raised his head a little and looked up, and the gaze in his eyes became a little dazed, even confused.

"I ...... What about my grandchildren? ”

moved his lips slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse,

There was confusion in his eyes, his eyes were already red, and muddy tears were accumulating.

In the next room, the lights that had been lit up and reflected in the room had disappeared after the 'surrogate' had left.

Lao Chen and the others had already seen it when they came, and the entire village had already been cut off, so how could the lights still be lit alone in the old man's house.

The light that lit up was just a lie of the 'substitute'.

At this moment, the lights went out, and the old man and Lao Chen were both submerged in the dim night again.

“…… Have you seen my grandson? ”

The old man slowly turned his head again, looked at Lao Chen and Yinhu, tears had already fallen out, and asked blankly.

Neither Lao Chen nor Yin Hu answered anything.

Lao Chen's gaze just turned and looked again into the already dark room.

No matter how dark it was in the house, it couldn't block Lao Chen's sight, and he could still clearly see the terrifying and strange scenes all over the house, and the blood all over the walls.

Most of the people in this village are elderly residents who also have their own grandchildren, but it is difficult to see each other again.

There is an old lady named Yan Chengxu and a younger brother, if she knew that his brother would come, maybe she was looking forward to it at home.

At this point, maybe she is still talking to her brother.

The old man with the kettle saw that Lao Chen and Yinhu did not respond, and slowly stopped his movements.

He put down the steaming kettle and stood, slowly lowering his head.

I don't know what I thought about for a while, but after a while, I raised my head again,

Moving his feet back and forth, looking up and shouting,

"Grandson...... Good grandson......"

"Grandson...... Grandchildren ......"

Lao Chen and Yin Hu looked at the old man who was shouting about his grandson again,

Turning his head and looking,

With the departure of the Walker, the fog in the village completely dissipated,

Other investigators outside the village also entered the village one after another after being confirmed by Lao Chen and the others.

“…… Bring him back to the bureau. ”

"Let's clean up here, too."

"Yes...... Yan Chengping, who first noticed the abnormality, might want to come over again. ”

"Look for his sister. Take him to see if you can. ”

"Understood."

……

"Lao Chen: Thanks to Mr. Apocalypse for the reminder earlier, we have found some clues in the other direction and found the village that disappeared."

Lao Chen sent a message to the revelation of the Divine Revelation Organization.

It can be regarded as a feedback on the reminder given by Mr. Revelation before, and the information sharing in response to the 'Lies and Disasters' and the 'Mother of Life' this time.

"Lao Chen: We are here, and we have met the surrogate of that group of believers.

Revelation: Did he do the disappearance of the village?

Lao Chen: It should be. He said it was a clumsy imitation of his Lord.

Revelation: Hmm.

Revelation: Does Investigator Tatsu have any understanding of the geographical division of Wang'an City? ”

Lao Chen paused when he saw Mr. Revelation suddenly ask such a question.

Obviously, there are other problems hidden under this question.

"Lao Chen: I have a sense of some large-scale divisions.

Implication: It is enough to be precise to the district and county. If you can, Investigator Tatsumi will tell me about it. ”

This is an answer that can be obtained with a little use of the search engine.

But there is clearly a deep meaning.

Lao Chen paused, and according to the meaning of Mr. Revelation, he gave an answer according to the cognition in his memory.

"Lao Chen: The urban area should be four districts, Heyang, Shangshui, Lindu, and Anhe. Then there are the counties outside the urban area, which are ......"

After the message was sent, there was a pause, and Lao Chen received a reply from the revelation.

"Revelation: What about the new district?"

After Lao Chen saw this news, he paused.

This is a place in his mind that has nothing to do with Wang'an City, and in his cognition and memory, Wang'an City does not exist in this place.

"Lao Chen: What Mr. Revelation means is that in addition to what I said earlier, there is actually a district in Wang'an City.

Revelation: True. ”

Lao Chen replied to the message at the same time, and then turned on another mobile phone.

First of all, in the most common way, I tried to search for "the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Wang'an City".

But the answer he got was the same as his cognition.

Then he did something similar to the previous prospect, finding out the online map of Zhangwang'an City,

According to the cognition in memory, Wang'an City was encircled one area after another.

In the end, similar results were obtained from Jing Chen's previous ones.

The area in his cognition is exactly the end of the map of Wang'an City.

There is no place to put down the new district.

"Help me find a copy of the geographical division of Wang'an City."

At this moment, Lao Chen and Yin Hu are returning to the car of the Capital Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

Beside him, listening to Lao Chen's words, an investigator got busy after answering,

Yinhu sat closer,

"Lao Chen, what happened?"

Lao Chen raised his head and just handed Yinhu the mobile phone he used to contact the Apocalypse Organization.

Yinhu took it, and after browsing the chat history, he frowned.

"I don't have this place in my mind. I asked about the crawler. ”

Yinhu handed the phone back to Lao Chen, picked up the internal communication device, and sent a message to the crawler.

The reptile is now in charge of the situation in Wang'an City, and should be the senior investigator of the Heterogeneous Investigation Bureau who knows the most about Wang'an City.

】

After a while,

Yinhu raised his head again, looked at Lao Chen, and shook his head at Lao Chen.

"In the reptilian cognition, there is no such place."

Lao Chen didn't speak again, turned his head and looked at the record of the exchange with the revelation,

Yin Hu and Lao Chen's eyes became a little solemn.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Enlightenment, what is the full name of this new district?

Enlightenment: The new area of science and technology and industrial development should be located outside Lindu District, the original suburb location.

Lao Chen: Mr. Apocalypse, I didn't find this area on the map.

Revelation: I haven't found it either. ”

At this point, the investigator turned his head again,

He handed over an electronic terminal.

"Investigator Chen, this is the information that contains the records of the administrative division within the Wang'an City over the years."

"Hmm."

Lao Chen took it and worked with Yinhu from beginning to end with this information.

The data briefly records the changes in the regional division of Wang'an City from the beginning of records to the present.

However, even in the latest information, there is no 'new area'.

Their cognition, memory, and the information they can find all seem to point to a result—the new district of Wang'an City does not exist.

If we follow what Mr. Revelation said to them before,

Now it should be the other way around, that the revelation has been affected, and that there is an extra area in the cognition.

However, rather than considering that this mysterious and powerful person was affected, it was better to consider that they were collectively affected.

Just as they were affected before, it was Mr. Revelation who reminded them.

meantime

Lao Chen and Yinhu almost one after another, and then remembered a sentence.

The words of the Substitute,

He had previously said that he had made San'in Village disappear as a clumsy imitation of his Lord.

So now......

Tiger and Yinhu both raised their heads and looked at each other.

"Lao Chen...... In contrast, rather than believing that the revelation of the Apocalyptic Organization is beyond comprehension, I should believe that I myself have been affected. ”

"In addition, although I have no impression of the existence of the new district in Wang'an City, it is logical to think about it from the reminder of the revelation, and it is logical to see that there is a new area of science and technology and industrial development in Wang'an City."

Yinhu said again.

"You see, most cities now have this new development area, not to mention that Wang'an City is also close to the capital. The location of the existence of the new district given by the revelation is also in the direction of the capital. ”

"Hmm."

Tiger nodded, making the same judgment as Yinhu.

However, this also means that there is a large area that has disappeared out of thin air in their cognition and reality.

And they were not aware of it until the reminder of the Revelation.

No...... There may only be one area.

Since there is such an area in Wang'an City, what about the other areas, the capital.

Lao Chen and Yin Hu raised their heads and looked at each other, with some silent worry in their eyes, thinking of something similar.

Lowering his head, Lao Chen replied with a message to the revelation of the Divine Revelation Organization.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation. Are you familiar with the zoning of other regions?

Enlightenment: Investigator Chen wants to ask, is there a situation similar to Wang'an New District in other places?

Lao Chen: That's right.

Revelation: I don't know. ”

The other side.

house.

It was already late at night, and Jing Chen hadn't slept yet.

But it's okay, after taking the potion so many times, it seems that when you don't want to sleep, you can stay up without sleeping.

Holding his mobile phone and looking at the message sent by Lao Chen of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, Jing Chen paused again.

He said that he did not know the facts, and he remembered the counties under the jurisdiction of Wang'an City because he was familiar with Wang'an City.

But he could not have been familiar with the zoning of each place.

It has nothing to do with whether cognition is affected or not.

"Revelation: I'm just relatively familiar with this area of Wang'an City.

Lao Chen: I see, thank you for the reminder. ”

In fact, it is not a reminder, it is Jing Chen who wants to verify the existence of the new district in the cognition of Lao Chen and others.

In addition, the denial of the Heterogeneous Bureau, as well as the difference in all the information and the perception in the mind,

Jing Chen also hesitated, wondering if there was a similar situation between Lao Chen and the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau before.

In fact, he himself was affected, and the new district of Wang'an City itself does not exist?

But if you think about it, the area affected by the Mother of Life definitely exists, and it doesn't belong to the four districts on the map now.

This is a peek at the information in the future picture, and Jing Chen still believes in his ability to peek into the future.

At least, he peeked into the future, and even the threads of fate could be seen.

Well...... Destiny......

Jing Chen was still thinking about it, and Lao Chen sent another message,

"Lao Chen: Mr. Apocalypse, do you think 'lies and deception' have come?"

Before sending this message, Lao Chen paused.

For this kind of god that can affect cognition, there is a feeling that I don't know where to start.

Perhaps, when the embodiment of 'lies and deception' appeared directly in front of them, they would not be aware of it.

"Revelation: It should be soon."

Jing Chen was also a little uncertain, but as far as he could see in the future, the time when those things happened.

That 'lies and deception' should not have come to this world yet.

After pausing again, Jing Chen sent another message to Lao Chen.

"Revelation: In addition, when I arrived on the banks of the Wang'an River just now, the mysterious old man asked me to tell Investigator Chen, maybe I can ask the one from the Fate and Abnormal Adjustment Bureau."

"Revelation: But before that, Investigator Chen can go to the banks of the Wang'an River first.

Lao Chen: Thank you, Mr. Revelation, for your information. Mr. Apocalypse is familiar with the mysterious being?

Revelation: Just met. ”

This is not the first time that the Apocalypse has brought news about the mysterious man on the banks of the Wang'an River.

Lao Chen couldn't help but wonder if this equally powerful revelation knew the mysterious man on the banks of the Wang'an River.

Even, that mysterious person may be a member of the Apocalypse Organization.

But the answer of revelation negates this question.

Or rather reluctant to disclose.

Lao Chen paused, naturally not delving into it.

There is no point in delving into it.

Raising his head again, he put down the phone that he had used to keep in touch with the Apocalypse,

"Expand the scope of the survey and determine the perception of more investigators about the new district of the capital city."

"Especially if it's further afield."

Lao Chen said to the investigator next to him.

"Yes."

Next to him, Yinhu looked at Lao Chen again and communicated with Mr. Revelation,

Turning his head, he looked out the window of the car, and did not speak for a long time.

"It feels like it's lying under layer upon layer...... I can't believe what I've been thinking about for a long time, and I'm not sure what is true and what's fake. ”

Yinhu turned his head and said to Lao Chen again,

"Now let's turn around and go directly to Wang'an City?"

"Hmm."

Lao Chen nodded, and the car he was sitting in slowly stopped and turned around.

……

On the other side, Jing Chen ended his communication with the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head again.

Outside the house, it is still late at night, and the night sky replaced by the city lights is full of stars, faintly illuminating the urban area of Wang'an.

"Go, get me a drink in the fridge."

Lowering his head again, Jing Chen instructed the blood eagle who was leisurely combing his feathers next to him,

Blood Eagle looked at Jing Chen, then moved his feet and went to the kitchen,

Rise, paw open the refrigerator door, and grab the bottle of drink,

Even after closing the refrigerator door again, he flew over and put the drink bottle in Jing Chen's hand.

These days, Jing Chen has found out that the blood eagle seems to be quite smart.

After trying it several times, I can now get a drink.

Well, he's a beast taming genius.

"Okay, go out."

I drank more than half of the drink, and as for the rest, I poured it into the stomach of the blood eagle for Jing Chen.

The bottle was thrown into the trash, Jing Chen stood up, and his puppet figure gradually appeared in front of him.

The puppet turned into a normal form, then turned into a shadow, blended into the shadow next to it, and jumped forward.

Jing Chen himself also turned into a shadow and left in the other direction.

The blood eagle soared and flew out of the window, following Jing Chen's body.

One person, two soldiers.

The puppet is going to the other side of the city, trying to find out where such a large new district of Wang'an City is hiding.

Itself, it is rushing to the bank of the Wang'an River to wait for the guests to come to the door.

Jing Chen tried to use it for two purposes, and it was okay.

……

Arrived at the old location on the bank of the Wang'an River.

Finally, late at night, it was almost impossible to see pedestrians on the road, and it was a long time before a vehicle passed on the bridge in the distance.

Old man Hong seems to have closed his stall back at the usual time, and did not set up a stall on the bank of the Wang'an River.

Jing Chen threw two stools to the side of the road, and the gossip map was spread on the ground, and more thoughts were temporarily put on the puppet.

The puppet followed its memory and had reached the edge of the Lindu District.

According to memory, further along, it should be Wang'an New District.

But what I saw was just like what was reflected in the current data, and it was already a suburb of the city outside the Lindu District.

An empty road, gradually sparse and low, even old buildings,

You can't see the industrial parks in the new area at all.

Even Jing Chen controlled the puppet and went in that direction, leaving the Lindu District and entering the suburbs of the city.

But, once again, jumping from the shadows to the edge of this is probably the edge of the urban area of Lindu District,

Jing Chen looked ahead, as long as he looked carefully, he felt how awkward the suburban scene he could see in front of him.
