"Fountain of Youth...... Fountain of Youth......"

"What do you say......"

"Lord...... You are the Mother of the Earth, the Creator of life.

I am your great and devout believer...... I...... I ......"

"Puff ......"

The sound of a blade piercing through flesh was mixed with the sound of blisters bursting.

This is a private hospital ward.

Jing Chen happened to notice this scene when he passed through the shadows.

Now, Jing Chen is not quite sure if this is all an arrangement of fate, or a pure coincidence.

Along the way, he investigated carefully, and found that there were many believers in the Mother of Life, believing in the Mother of Life, and looking forward to eternal life and even eternal life.

He sees one, and then peeks into the future picture of this one, and often finds others.

This is the first time I've been here.

In the ward, there were old people lying on the beds who could barely see some human shapes,

At first he was dying, muttering in his mouth.

It was covered in dense, large blisters, green slime and dense tentacles of fleshy tendrils that were still extended.

Standing beside the bed was a young man with a sharp blade in his hand.

At first, there was concern on his face, followed by a frenzy on the face of the old man-like monster.

When the old man changed rapidly, towards the appearance of a monster in the eyes of others, and the more perfect body in his eyes.

The blade pierced the blisters and body of the original chest,

The splashed sticky green juice fell on the young man's body,

It was as if bathed in glory, his face became more fanatical, and then some abnormalities began to appear in him.

And some of the green juice fell to the ground, and the ground seemed to have life, and it came to life.

Some just squirmed on the ground, some simply peeled off the ground and climbed onto the young man, growing on his back.

And after being stabbed, the monster on the bed, which could no longer see the human form, still maintained its vigorous vitality.

The blisters on his body were all bursting, and the green juice splattered out made the whole ward come alive.

The hospital bed beneath it simply grew with it.

Turn into a larger, twisted monster.

His mouth kept muttering frantically, praying to the Mother of Life.

“…… Lord, I pray for your coming, for your attention. ”

"You are the Mother of Life, the Creator, and may your glory be swayed to your humble believers......"

The monster had probably lost its mind and consciousness, and was just muttering repeatedly, revealing its devotion to the great being of the Mother of Life.

Jing Chen watched the movements of the two twisted monsters in the shadows on the wall of the nearby ward.

After a pause, he glanced at the closed door of the room.

There is a glass window on the door that allows you to see inside and out, and a human face appears in the place of the glass window.

It was a young woman, and she looked into the ward seemingly normally, then pushed the door open.

"Bed 1 dressing change."

The young woman was probably a nurse in the hospital, wearing a nurse's gown and a cart for dispensing medicine, and entered the ward together.

It's just that this nurse only has the upper half of her body, and the lower half of her body is a messy tentacle crawling on the ground, and the cart where the medicine is placed.

Half of her body was on the twisted cart, which was crawling with eyeballs and arms from nowhere.

And so, next to the monster on the bed in the ward,

The young man standing next to him, with a frenzied frenzy on his face, pulled out his previous dagger and returned to the other hospital bed next to him, lying quietly.

"Change the dressing, the fountain of youth."

The nurse's face was still intact, and there was no change in expression.

The arm on the cart grabbed an infusion bottle on the cart, and the bottle was the green viscous juice, churning from time to time, as if there were some small lives in it.

The nurse's upper arm took it, hung it on the shelf next to it, re-pulled an infusion tube, and stabbed the needle into the body of the monster on the bed.

"Fountain of Youth...... Fountain of Youth......"

The monster on the bed seemed to be appeased, calming down a little as the fountain of immortality flowed into its body.

But the whole body has become more and more aberrant, and it has gradually grown together with this living ward.

"Change the dressing, the fountain of youth......"

The nurse took the cart and went to the young man's bedside.

Repeating the previous operation, he turned around and walked away from the ward.

It can be seen that the nurse still has a face on the back of her head, with a gentle smile on the two patients in the ward.

Seeing that the door of the ward was closed, the gentle face outside the glass of the door and window of the ward gradually walked away,

Jing Chen turned his head again and looked at the two monsters in the ward who were gradually about to grow together with the life of the ward, and they were all a little silent.

It's not that he's afraid, he looks at these things like looking at ugly toys on the side of the road, but he feels a little ugly.

Maybe it's because he's also well-informed.

But, good guys, is this going to get a monster hospital out?

In addition, Jing Chen did not feel the existence of lies and deception here, and it was no longer a lie that those lying believers were creating the fountain of immortality through the power of demagogy.

It is simply the power of the authority of the 'Mother of Life' that is spreading.

Jing Chen glanced at the monster in the ward again,

I feel that this is called the mother of life of the Creator of Life, and the aesthetic level is not very good.

After a pause, Jing Chen blended into the shadows again, jumping quickly in the shadows of the private hospital here,

Then it went back to the same place.

This hospital is not completely affected by the authority of the Mother of Life, and the monsters of the mutation are still limited to this layer.

Looking at the huge monster that was gradually forming, Jing Chen paused again, and then looked out of the eyeball-ridden window of this ward.

At this time, in the early hours of the morning, someone from this private hospital came.

The people who came were quite special.

Jing Chen looked out the window and stopped,

Then from the shadows, jumped straight over.

“…… Be vigilant. According to the monitored information, there is a high probability that this place has been eroded by the power of some monsters. ”

"The perimeter has been sealed off, and our task is to determine if there are any people who can be rescued,"

Jing Chen heard the conversation of these people, looked around, and determined the identity of these people.

It's the investigator of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation.

Although it is difficult for the Bureau of Anomalies to control the spread of some small and hidden monsters and mysterious events,

But as soon as the anomaly became a little more obvious, the majestic power of the Abnormal Bureau, a huge organization that existed for the continuation of human existence, burst out in an instant.

】

The crumbling human world has not completely collapsed until now, and the Abnormal Tune Bureau is not a vegetarian.

Jing Chen looked at the team of investigators who had entered the private hospital, and then raised his head to look at the ward where he had been before.

After pausing in place, he jumped out of the shadows and left.

“…… report, found a relatively large twisted life. ”

"This ward is a twisted monster! But...... It seems that someone has already come in advance and killed this monster. ”

"Stay safe in case of accidents."

"Understood."

……

Jump forward from the shadows, and on the way encounter a monster under the influence of the 'Mother of Life', and then follow the vine to touch the melon,

Find a few more places where the Mother of Life power is affected.

Basically, the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation was notified and follow-up was done.

And Jingchen also went all the way from the urban area of Wang'an City, to the suburbs, and even to the edge of Wang'an City.

Just when Jing Chen was about to move on, by the way, to confirm whether there was a place like the new district of Wang'an City in this neighboring city, and if there was a determination of the original location of the disappeared area,

Jing Chen stopped at the edge of Wang'an City.

This is a village under the jurisdiction of a county in Wang'an City.

The village is far from the city, but at the same time, it is also far from the Longnan Mountains, and the terrain is relatively flat.

Several villages are clustered together and connected by roads that are accessible to traffic.

The village that Jing Chen visited at this moment is one of them.

Just passing by here, Jing Chen felt the irritability like mosquitoes buzzing in his ears,

This is also the reason why Jing Chen stopped here.

Jumping from shadow to shadow in the village, Jing Chen entered one of the houses.

Melt into the shadows next to the room and gaze at the scene.

In this room, it was only early in the morning, and the lights were already on.

Under the lights, there were three people in the family, each busy with something.

A middle-aged man in his early thirties found his socks, changed his shoes, and walked to the washbasin on a stool next to the living room.

The old man in his sixties with a wrinkled face and a rough and dark face was wearing slippers and an old black cotton suit, and he was looking for hoes, raincoats, and backpacks all over the room.

After finding all the clothes, he threw his basket of raincoats to the door of the hall, and he sat on a low stool, trimming his hoe.

There was also an old woman who was about sixty years old, dressed thickly, wearing a sweater and wrapped in cotton clothes and cotton pants, looking a little bloated.

Bending his waist, he took the boiled water from the kitchen with the kettle, wrapped it in a wet handkerchief, and lifted it out.

First, he tried to pour hot water into the washbasin in front of the middle-aged man, and then stretched out the back of his hand full of wrinkles, and his old hand reached into the washbasin and touched it.

After testing the water temperature, he nodded at the middle-aged man.

"It's okay, wash your face, it's more comfortable. You wash it first. ”

The old woman was still spitting a little mist as she spoke, and her face was a little sleepy when she had just gotten up.

Turn around, walk over to the thermos again, and pour the rest of the water from the kettle into the thermos.

The middle-aged man nodded, reached into the basin and picked up the handkerchief,

The handkerchief was still a little hot with the hot water, but it was acceptable.

Unscrewing off some of the water on the handkerchief, the middle-aged man took the handkerchief and wiped his face and neck.

“…… Don't you see if your motorcycle still has oil or not? ”

"I don't think you have added it in a few days."

A motorcycle was parked in an empty area in the hall.

Not far away, the old man who was sitting on a low stool repairing his hoe raised his head and looked at it, and said something.

"I only added it before I came back yesterday."

The middle-aged man washed his face, wrung out the handkerchief, hung it aside, and answered.

The old man nodded, did not speak again, but concentrated on fixing the hoe.

When the child is in the house, the conversation is all around the child.

"Sit here for a while, and the rice in the pot will be cooked."

The old woman poured all the water from the kettle into the thermos and re-entered the kitchen with the kettle.

“…… Dad, do you want to help? ”

The middle-aged man turned around, looked at it and said,

"Come on, then...... Cut a piece of wood and knock it in. ”

"The hoe always loosens it, and I guess it still hasn't been tightly embedded before."

The old man stood up directly and moved out of the way.

The middle-aged man stepped forward to take over the job, and the old man leaned over beside him, saying a few words from time to time.

"Dad, you're going to go to the field in a while?"

Cut the wooden block and insert it into the connection between the hoe and the handle.

The middle-aged man asked again,

"There are many vegetables in the field, and there is no food in the house, so it is a pity not to dig some and sell them."

"Then you go later, the dew is heavy in the morning."

"When I go out late, the sun is big and it is sunny. The dishes are all sunburned, who wants it. ”

"Then next time you can plant less, just plant enough food in the house."

The old man stood next to him and smiled and didn't answer.

Beside him, Jing Chen in the shadows glanced at the two people in this room,

Then he turned his head and moved a little into the kitchen of this house.

More attention was paid to the old woman in the kitchen.

In the pot on the gas stove, white porridge was boiling, and the lid had been lifted and it was allowed to boil.

The old woman took the empty kettle and put it aside, looked into the pot, and took out a few kimchi radishes from the kimchi jar.

After cutting it into small pieces, the red oil chili chicken essence stumbles, and it is the side dish in the morning.

Thinking of something again, the old woman picked up the leaf porridge and feed the chickens and ducks that had been mixed next to her, and was about to go out into the backyard.

Jing Chen's gaze followed the old woman's movements, and once again looked at the door leading to the backyard.

By this time, the appearance of the backyard had changed.

The backyard door passed, but it was not the backyard scene that should be seen,

It's a wide, dead city road, and the road is right in front of this backyard door.

You can even see the equally quiet buildings on both sides of the city's highways.

The old woman with the feed basin walked to the backyard door, and her eyes met the strange scene outside the backyard door.

At first, he was stunned, and then his face showed an inexplicable joy that he hadn't had before.

Some cloudy eyes were filled with excitement and excitement, as if they had seen something incomparably beautiful.

Then, with the feed basin with her, the old woman was about to walk towards the other world outside the backyard door.

On the other side, in the living room, the old man and the middle-aged man also underwent some changes.

The old man bent his waist and watched his son with a hoe, and after a pause, he said again,

"Then you can fix your hoe here, and I'll make you breakfast."

"Hmm."

As he spoke, the old man walked into the kitchen.

The middle-aged man naturally responded, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

It seemed that at this moment, they forgot about the existence of the old woman.

In the shadow of the kitchen, Jing Chen was still looking at the old woman, and at the same time had already noticed the change between the old man and the middle-aged man.

The old woman had half of her body stepped into another world,

Jing Chen is ready to make a move, he has already met in person, and he is still saved, so there is no reason not to save when he dies,

However, he did not dare to take any risks himself, and rushed in to pull the old woman out of that special area.

What if he goes in and pulls the old woman and can't get out?

Turning his gaze a little, Jing Chen used his ability,

The shadows on the kitchen floor moved,

In the blink of an eye, like a black curtain, spread over the old woman,

The old woman was instantly wrapped in shadows, so as not to have any accidents, missing arms and legs.

Immediately after, Jing Chen withdrew his shadows.

And so, with the old woman in the shadows,

was really pulled back by Jing Chen from a special area.

The shadows linger in the kitchen, then disperse again and return to their respective places.

The old woman emerged from the shadows and stood again in the kitchen room.

Next to him, Jing Chen looked at the backyard outside the kitchen, but saw the open road outside the door.

The scene of another world has quietly faded, and it has regained its original backyard appearance.

It's like the entrance to that particular area is manifesting here for a while.

Jing Chen glanced out of the backyard door, then turned his gaze to look at the old woman who was pulled back,

But I saw some strange scenes again.

The old woman was released from the shadows that were wrapping up, and she was stunned for a moment in place, with some doubts in her eyes,

I can't seem to understand why I'm here. Then, it was back to normal.

Just take the feed basin normally and walk towards the chicken and duck pen in the backyard,

In the kitchen, the old man had already arrived in the kitchen, and naturally took over the work done by the old woman before.

I looked at the pot, flipped it with a spoon, and turned to wash the bowl.

The two passed by, but neither of them turned their eyes, and neither of them turned their eyes to the other.

It's like the two don't exist for each other.
