Chapter 111: Guests
Although just taking the potion again did not directly lead to the best desired result - to reach another stage.
But being able to find some direction is already a good result.
"Lao Chen, what do you think is needed?"
Yin Hu thought about it, looked at Lao Chen, and then turned his head to look behind Lao Chen,
The place where Lao Chen took the potion before was still a little abnormal, and the surrounding area was obviously brighter than the surroundings in the senses.
It's just that over time, the anomaly is fading.
"I don't know."
"But if you want to get more power than 'people', I'm afraid it won't be easy. Maybe it's something special, maybe it's something special. ”
Yinhu nodded, in fact, there is still a place to find the answer to this question.
It's the revelation that is seen as the direction by the Bureau of Anomalies and the mysterious and powerful one,
They probably know the answer to this question.
But Lao Chen had communicated with these two about relevant issues before, and if he was willing, he would naturally have raised them to the Heterogeneous Bureau.
】
Now, either you can't mention it, it's not surprising that this mystical knowledge has some special memetic nature.
Either these two powerful people really don't know, purely because they have crossed this stage by accident and reached another level.
Or simply unwilling...... The Bureau of Anomalies doesn't know what it can do in exchange for information of this value.
Therefore, Yinhu and Lao Chen didn't mention it at the moment.
"Reptiles, rabbits and other investigators have entrusted me with congratulations on your successful potion. Lao Chen, how are you doing now? ”
"These days, in order to keep you focused on adjusting before taking potions, Mao Rabbit and I have been busy enough. If you're in good shape, you'll have to take over what you were responsible for. ”
Lao Chen's success in taking potions is always a good thing.
Yin Hu showed some more smiles on his face, and said to Lao Chen.
"It feels pretty good. You've worked hard these days. ”
"It's okay to work hard, but you won't take over some things, Lao Chen. The two of us are really lacking in skills. ”
Lao Chen also had a smile on his face, feeling the changes in his body and ability.
Yinhu smiled again, then looked at Lao Chen, and paused again,
"In the past few days, several elite investigators have been on the verge of losing control, or some of the continuing effects of the previous Mother of Life crisis response. They wanted to do something more before they got out of hand, ready to meet her. ”
"It's basically undecided, the direction of the 'omniscient' question, whether to ask her about the question just now."
"It's not for you, Lao Chen, in fact, the Anomaly Bureau does need to further improve its ability."
Yin Hu said again.
Lao Chen was silent for a while and then nodded,
"You can try it. However, if you can't do anything, you will give up for the time being, and the more mysterious the knowledge, the greater the price you will bear, and you may not be able to obtain the relevant answers. ”
"Investigators can't be made to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"yes, I know."
Yinhu nodded, and then fell silent for a while.
After raising his head again, he looked at Lao Chen and smiled,
"Lao Chen, I feel that after you took the potion this time, the harvest is not small. Perhaps, it's almost time for me to take another potion. ”
"Be prepared...... If you're sure you want to take potions, you can go to the banks of the Wang'an River to meet the mysterious being before then. ”
Lao Chen thought of what happened when he took the potion before, nodded his head, and said more.
"Hmm."
Yinhu looked at Lao Chen, paused, and nodded.
……
“…… Do you think someone is talking about me? I can't help but mutter. ”
In the study room in the house, Jing Chen rubbed the feathers on the blood eagle in his hand, and said loudly to the blood eagle,
As he sat here, he felt an itch in his ears, as if someone was whispering something in his ear that he couldn't hear clearly.
Under Jing Chen's ravage, the blood eagle didn't make a sound, just shrunk its head and body, and let Jing Chen rub its feathers with some trepidation.
"You bird, how do you feel like you can't pull a few bites."
Jing Chen touched his ears that were a little itchy, then looked at the appearance of the blood eagle and said,
Then changed to a gentle brushing action, and the blood eagle stretched his body again, squatting in front of Jing Chen somewhat comfortably, enjoying Jing Chen's touch.
Raising his head again, Jing Chen looked out the window at the sky that had been completely brightened.
He didn't deliberately interfere in anything that had an impact, so at this time, the old man of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau should have successfully ended his use of the potion, right?
The Abnormal Adjustment Bureau and Jing Chen are naturally not enemies, and no matter how strong the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau is that maintains the existing order, it can also make Jing Chen live a little safer.
At least Jing Chen also likes that this world can barely maintain the big framework and order without collapsing, otherwise, it seems quite boring to be full of monsters all over the world and fall under the influence of various monsters.
Jing Chen didn't deliberately control his thoughts, his thoughts spread out wantonly, and some smiles gradually appeared on his face.
After another pause, Jing Chen turned his head with some disgust and looked at the blood eagle sitting next to him,
Breaking away from his hand, the Blood Eagle stood up again, staring at the two drops of blood in the glass bottle not far away.
"Don't look around, it's not for you."
"Eat this."
Jing Chen raised his head and gave Blood Eagle a look, and then threw a bun to Blood Eagle.
Blood Eagle grabbed the bun in one bite and ate it.
……
“…… Yes...... There was ......"
"There are stages that can be stronger...... There was ......"
“…… Authority...... Authority. ”
The more she is involved in mysterious knowledge, the more unbearable it becomes, especially in the face of Kang, who never hesitates to reveal the truth to them who are humble.
But this truth is often beyond the limits of what they can bear,
Nowhere is this more evident than in this apparently obscure and mysterious question.
Yin Hu told the investigators who chose to do something before they lost control and collapsed in the next period of time.
Then, in the next few days, several investigators went to the sacrifice of their own hands before they completely lost control.
“…… I already feel like I can't control my loss of control. But I can at least control how I die, and I can make my death a little more worthwhile. ”
This is a sentence that has been repeated many times in the Abnormal Tone Bureau.
The several investigators who died did not convey much information.
When they asked her questions, the answers they received seemed to be completely different from what they could afford.
Often, in an instant, it completely collapses out of control, and no complete information can be delivered.
In fact, this is expected by the Bureau of Anomalies and the sacrificial investigators, and if it is divided by mystery and importance, this kind of knowledge that can point to the direction of another stage is a taboo existence.
And it was he who gave the answer.
Maybe the answer she gave directly carried what she needed to go through to reach another stage.
I don't care at all, and I don't care if they can bear it.
It's just that they want it, and they give it to them.
But
With the sacrifice of several investigators one after another, there are still a few words left.
“…… That's all we got. There is a higher stage of existence that can reach an incomprehensible leap. This is actually what we know. It is probably the Revelation that has crossed over to this stage and the mysterious and powerful being that exists there. ”
From them, we can probably conclude that such beings will not be so easily out of control when facing God. Acquired certain qualifications to face God...... But let's really divide the investigator from the god. That kind of existence doesn't have to be ...... in the next stage."
"Of course...... The most important piece of information is another ...... Authority. ”
"This is a word that our sacrificial investigators have mentioned many times...... This should be important in the answer to this question. ”
In a closed room between the different bureaus, a conference call is being held.
Yin Hu explained the situation to the other investigators these days,
"Lao Chen said before that if you want to achieve that kind of leapfrog ascension, it may not be enough to just take potions...... Perhaps this 'authority' is needed. ”
"But in this kind of leapfrog promotion, we don't know how authority is related to this promotion, whether it is the foundation or the goal, and what we need to do to complete this promotion."
Not much information was obtained, more was just speculation.
The other senior investigators listened, but they were silent or nodded, and no one said anything.
There is no point in discussing without support, and now Yinhu's words are just sharing what he already knows with other senior investigators.
Yin Hu said, paused, put the matter aside for a moment, and turned his gaze to the new face in the closed room.
"Also, these days down. We've got one more powerful companion. ”
"The original Conduct Investigator successfully took the potion again, meeting the standards of a senior investigator. As a result of his primary use of potions, he will take over the code name of Investigator of the Afternoon Horse, as well as his previous duties as the Investigator of the Afternoon Horse. ”
"Hello investigators. I'm the new afternoon horse. ”
The new investigator was a middle-aged man, and he just nodded calmly in the face of the other investigators' gazes.
The other senior investigators also nodded their heads one after another.
After all these days, the strength that the Bureau had lost before has finally recovered some of its strength.
However, the loss of middle-level, elite investigators may take some longer to make up.
……
"Bird: Mr. Apocalypse, I've recently hunted some more monsters and obtained some materials.
Bird: There's nowhere to store it, can you hand it over to the organization in advance?
Revelation: Hmm. I'll give you a record of organizational contributions.
Bird: It is my greatest honor to be needed for Mr. Revelation. ”
Seeing that Yu Huanting was so active in handing in the special materials she had harvested,
Jing Chen has the illusion that he is a capitalist.
Looking at Yu Huanting's last pious words, Jing Chen temporarily put down his phone.
It's been almost a month since the Mother of Life came to the crisis,
The extended impact of the arrival of the Mother of Life has also gradually diminished through the efforts of the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation.
Not to mention that there are no living monsters, at least they have not caused a large-scale crisis.
At this moment, Jing Chen was sitting in his old position on the bank of the Wang'an River, with the gossip map in front of him.
Originally, I was idle, so I came out to see if I could meet someone who was destined, and by the way, I pointed out the maze.
However, next to Old Man Hong's stall, the result can be imagined, how lively Old Man Hong's stall is, and how deserted Jing Chen's side is.
It is said that the door is full of birds, and they are all lifted.
At this moment, Jing Chen turned his head and continued to look at the bustle of Old Man Hong's stall.
A few minutes ago, a 'liar' came to Old Man Hong's booth and unceremoniously crowded to the front of the line, wanting to discuss with Old Man Hong, a believer in fate.
At this time, some of the believers of fate are still fanatical, and some are looking at the uninvited guest angrily,
There were also some guests in the queue, in the demagogic voice of the liar, their eyes were sometimes in a trance, sometimes suddenly realized, as if they were listening to the truth.
Even the 'liar', he doesn't need to get close, Jing Chen can feel the smell of 'lies',
The power of demagogy lingers there like a mosquito buzzing.
"Master Hong, do you believe in resurrection from the dead?"
"Fate determines the life and death of people, when fate points to death, death and you go in the opposite direction."
"When fate points to life, you will pass by death."
"Everything is arranged by fate for the best."
The 'liar' asked with the power of demagogy, and Old Man Hong still replied with a smile.
Jing Chen watched the excitement from the side.
"Master Hong, do you believe in resurrection from the dead?"
"In fate, there is no regression after the end, only a new beginning."
"I am the one who came back from the dead."
"You're just a new beginning."
Jing Chen looked at it here, and it was quite interesting.
The 'liar' is obviously influenced by the power of 'lies'.
At this moment, the direct confrontation between him and Old Man Hong is more like a concrete image of the entangled conflict between fate and the power of lies.
"No, I'm still a continuation after the end, not a new beginning. Master Hong, do you believe in resurrection from the dead? ”
"Everything is arranged by fate, and two destinies will not be superimposed."
"I'm not a believer in fate."
Looking at the bustle over there again, Jing Chen smiled,
After that special region disappeared, the power of the lie still remained.
Break the white thread that fate began to wrap around the liar,
Let the liar fall to the ground and break his mouth, Jing Chen turned his head,
Because just as he was watching the excitement, a guest came to the stall.
After sending a message to the investigators of the Investigation Bureau using the identity of the Apocalypse Organization, asking the Investigation Bureau to pay attention to the situation on Old Man Hong's side,
Jing Chen turned his head and looked at the visitor.
……
The person who came was a middle-aged woman with a bag of vegetables in her hand.
Passing by the two fortune-telling stalls on the bank of the Wang'an River, he gradually slowed down his feet,
Then he obviously walked straight towards the riverbank on the side of Old Man Hong and Jing Chen.
When she got closer, the middle-aged woman looked at Old Man Hong and Jing Chen successively, obviously hesitating.
Later, probably because of the excitement in front of Old Man Hong's stall, the middle-aged woman didn't want to go over to make up, so she walked over to Jing Chen's side first.
"Little sir, are you here to tell fortunes?"
Looking at the stall in front of Jing Chen, there was probably no bottom, and the middle-aged woman asked again.
"Sit down."
Jing Chen handed over the stool next to him, and the middle-aged woman reached out to take it, hesitated and sat down.
Jing Chen looked at it more, and it was difficult to get the guests from his stall.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a thick cotton suit, a pair of cotton slippers under her feet, and her hair was not neatly tied, but it was also tied up.
In the big bag of vegetables I had started with was a piece of pork and most of the various vegetables, and the bag was now at my feet.
"Buying so many vegetables?"
"Well, a person is too lazy to go out, buy more vegetables and put them in the refrigerator at home."
Jing Chen first accosted a sentence, listened to the middle-aged woman's response, and then continued to ask,
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
“……”
The middle-aged woman listened to Jing Chen's words and hesitated,
"Sir...... Can you catch ghosts here? ”
"Ghosts? The house is haunted, or is there something wrong with it? ”
Jing Chen followed the middle-aged woman's words,
He'd seen some anomalies, not ghosts, of course, but something special.
“…… house. ”
The middle-aged woman seemed relieved when she saw Jing Chen's serious inquiry, and then said to Jing Chen,
"I've always been alone in the house. These nights, I hear some noise in the house, and when I come out, I see that either the table has moved or the stool has fallen to the floor. ”
"Sometimes, there are strange marks on the ground. Let's go around the room, and there's no one but me. ”
"My wife went early...... The child has always been out of town...... When I called my child the day before yesterday, he said that I might be bored at home alone, and asked me to go out more...... I ......"
