The torrential rain is not confined to this seaside village.

As Jing Chen gradually approached the seashore of Shaohai, the rain under the gloomy night became dense and then rapid.

Along this stretch of seashore, it seems to be raining heavily,

But what is rare is that the sea that Jing Chen saw when he came over just now was quite calm, and the waves were only surging normally.

Let the rain splash on the surface of the sea and blend into it.

Looking at the continuous torrential rain at this moment, it is always easy to remind people of the scene of the torrential rain and flood in Wang'an City not long ago.

Then point the rainstorm in a not-so-rosy direction.

“…… Host...... Poseidon...... Poseidon ......"

The unconscious figure next to Jing Chen shouted again and again,

And then when reason had already collapsed, the body was finally completely out of control,

The body that had melted like a candle suddenly exploded, turning into some scattered fires,

However, no matter how hot the scattered fires were, they were like rootless duckweed, and they were almost instantly extinguished by the water accumulated on the ground and the torrential rain that continued to fall from the sky.

Then, except for the process that Jing Chen had just seen, there was no trace of the existence of that figure in this rainstorm.

Jing Chen turned his head and looked at the place where the figure existed before, and after a pause, he turned his gaze back and looked at the village in the rainstorm.

Under the rain and fog and night, the buildings in this village are hidden in the shadows.

Most of the houses are not lit, only a few have lights in their houses,

It's just that under the rain curtain, the occasional light is only a hazy mark in the distance, and the light can't shine here.

The twisted monster that had been wandering around it before was now gone, like a rupturing water that had fallen back into the stagnant water on the ground.

Looking at the village, Jing Chen deliberately stretched out his hand and took a few drops of rain that originally passed directly through his shadow body.

The rain on your hands has an unnatural coolness, as if the water is about to invade your palms like dirt, and at the same time it seems to suck away all the heat around you.

Withdrawing his hand, the rain passed through the shadows as usual,

Jing Chen raised his head and looked at the night mixed with clouds along the rainstorm, he could feel,

The torrential rain that fell from this village was somewhat polluted, which may be the reason why the man who had just collapsed so quickly lost control.

Of course, it doesn't matter to him.

Such a strong pollution was obviously unique to the scope of this village, otherwise he would not have known how many twisted monsters would have come out of this level of pollution all the way to that place.

I just don't know what makes this village special.

"Help, help...... God, help......"

At this time, the sound of crying sounded in the rain curtain in front of Jing Chen,

Listen like an old man,

"Help...... Help ......"

There was despair in his voice, and it seemed to have sketched the scene of an old man suffering on a rainy night.

Jing Chen glanced towards the place where the sound came from, and then jumped directly through the shadows along the shadows.

……

"Help...... Help ......"

"Save Me ......"

When Jing Chen arrived at the place, he saw a somewhat terrifying and tragic scene.

A twisted monster took control of an old man and pulled the old man's body into its twisted body.

Only half of the old man with a normal body left, was struggling desperately, and saw Jing Chen appear,

Pleading towards Jing Chen, he stretched out his hand helplessly, as if trying to grab something.

And next to him, the old woman who was lying on her back on the ground, unconscious.

The back of the old woman's head was bleeding, and her pale face was constantly washed away by the torrential rain, and she looked like she was about to run out of breath.

"Help...... Save me...... Save my wife......"

The old man's body was reintegrated into the twisted monster, and he waved his hands in fear and despair, pleading towards Jing Chen,

It seems that he doesn't expect his survival anymore, he just hopes that Jing Chen can save his wife,

But Jing Chen stood next to him, calmly watching this scene and watching this lively.

It looks scary, but in Jing Chen's perception, the old man who is struggling, the old woman lying on the ground, and the monster are the same thing at all.

Or rather, it's more like a whole.

"Help...... Save ......"

It seemed that seeing that Jing Chen was indifferent, the old man became more and more desperate,

At this time, the monster grabbed one of the old man's arms again, and only touched,

The old man's withered arm and his clothes suddenly collapsed into a pool of sewage, fell to the ground, and melted into the rain on the ground.

"Old man...... Old man ......"

It seems that the sewage that fell from the collapse of the old man's arm woke up the old woman on the ground, and the old woman woke up,

Then he grabbed the old man's remaining arm, and cried desperately,

"Help...... Help......"

The terrible screams were mixed with the deep rainstorm, and the old woman, drenched in the rain, scratched and beat the monster, and cried out in a heartbroken manner.

Ultimately...... The twisted monster fused the old man's body into its twisted body, and then looked at the old woman,

The old woman struggled in despair, watching the pieces of flesh and blood on her body turn into sewage, and then the pieces slipped off her body, smashed into the stagnant water on the ground, and then merged into the stagnant water, and the whole body disintegrated and collapsed.

"Save ......"

The old woman didn't say her last word, and her whole head collapsed.

However, the twisted monster did not attack Jing Chen again, and then its twisted body turned into a pool of water, smashed to the ground in all directions, and then disappeared.

In front of Jing Chen, there was a rare silence.

Then, not far behind him, the same shout sounded again,

"Help...... Help......"

Jing Chen turned his head and looked over there, his eyes looking through the night and the rain, and easily saw the scene from the voice.

The same old woman, the old man, the monster, repeated the scene from the previous moment, waiting for the prey to appear.

Turning his head, Jing Chen didn't get any closer,

Instead, they followed the original path of the village and moved towards the village.

I don't know how long the torrential rain has been in this village.

But miraculously, there is only a shallow layer of water on the ground, and I don't see any houses flooded or washed away.

It's just that the walls of every house are constantly seeping water.

……

"A few tiles have fallen out of the hall, so let's get up tomorrow morning and make up for it."

"I see."

In this village, in a house.

Jing Chen jumped from the shadows and blended into the shadows on the wall.

There was a candle lit on the table in the house, and the candle swayed back and forth in the wind that blew into the house from time to time, almost extinguished.

A middle-aged woman took a broom and looked at the broken roof and swept the broken tiles in the hall.

A middle-aged man was at the table, holding a bowl, the rice in the bowl.

"Mom...... How long will it rain? ”

At this moment, a child ran out of the next room, stood under the hole in the hall, and looked up at the torrential rain that fell into the house.

"It's going to be a long time coming. What's wrong? ”

The middle-aged woman continued to sweep the ground with a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other.

stretched out one more hand, smiled and touched the child's hair,

"No, I like it to rain......"

The child was delighted, opened his eight or nine tentacles, and grinned to the root of his ears with sharp teeth.

Facing the rain that leaked into the house through the hole in the roof, he responded with a voice.

"You......"

The middle-aged woman said with a smile, sweeping the ground with both hands and holding the child with both hands.

This overall seems to be a warm scene, but after there are some special places, it becomes a little crazy.

Judging from the clothes, it is probably the figure of a middle-aged man, and the cheeks are torn to the slit, which is a fish gills.

As he eats and swallows, he also opens and closes from time to time.

The whole head is also a little flat.

The middle-aged woman is like a child, dragging a bunch of dense and slippery tentacles under normal clothes.

It's like a bunch of flesh-colored earthworms entangled together, hidden under clothes, and slippery and greasy.

When the child came out of the next room, there was a trail of water on the ground.

It's just that this strange scene, the family that stretches out of it seems to be unaware,

It's just ordinary talking.

"You little, you can't just want to get caught in the rain and smash a hole in the roof yourself."

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The middle-aged man turned his head, tore his mouth open, and cursed a little fiercely.

Then the child grinned, and the middle-aged man laughed too.

The middle-aged man stood up again and walked to the place where the roof was broken,

Tilting his head up, drenched in the rain, he breathed comfortably,

"It's still comfortable in the rain."

"It's okay, in a little while, we'll be moving."

The middle-aged woman also tilted her head, and at the same time stretched out one more tentacle to support her husband's shoulder, comfortingly.

Jing Chen glanced at the strange family again, and then jumped away directly from the shadows.

and then to the house of the house with the lights out,

Then I saw a similar scene.

On the bed in one bedroom, two figures that were no longer human were lying, probably resting.

I can barely see the head of the human figure exposed on the outside of the futon, but from the neck down, it is no longer human.

Rather, there are sticky tentacles, and the tentacles bulge under the futon, and some of them stick out from under the futon.

At the end of the tentacle, there were also some eyeballs, but they were also closed at the moment, like a bulging lump on the tentacle.

Glancing at the somewhat distorted figure, Jing Chen left here again.

And then in the village here, the lights were either turned off, or the houses were lit, jumping through the shadows.

Then, he figured out a little bit about why the rainwater pollution in the area was so bad.

The people living in this village have basically changed, and most of them, like the people in the house, have no idea about their own changes.

It's just that there are some cognitive and physical distortions in the silence.

Others, like the old man and woman who were begging for help in the rainstorm just now, existed as a kind of memetic thing in the rainstorm.

However, it's more like some kind of monster here is heavily affected, causing all the people here to be affected.

Rather than the other way around, the people here are all distorted or collapsed, causing the impact here to be severe.

Finally, Jing Chen stopped from the shadows that had jumped into a house.

He saw something peculiar.

Two basically no abnormal figures can be seen on the surface, a man and a woman kneeling in a room with an open door,

Facing the torrential rain that continued to pour outside, he bowed his head and prayed, as if he was a sculpture motionless.

Just muttering some prayers over and over again.

"Poseidon ...... Lord, you are the master of the seas. ”

"Lord...... The ocean is the final destination of your lost lamb......"

The murmuring sound is a bit of a lake, revealing some madness.

And if you look more closely, you can see that the normality of these two people is only on the surface.

Overall, it looks like a monster that is more disgusting than the twisted figure I've seen before, with a layer of skin that looks like a human being.

Beneath the thin, somewhat transparent flesh, a twisted silhouette writhed and wriggled underneath it.

It's like an oviparous animal about to hatch, about to burst out of the body of the two here.

Looking at these two somewhat special figures, Jing Chen stayed for a while,

Then he looked at the monster that looked like a woman, and there was a piece of paper on the ground next to it.

There was scribbling, confusion, a few short lines of words on the paper, revealing some information.

Looking at the pen that fell on the ground next to him, it seemed to be one of the two people, before it completely lost control, wrote something.

"We made mistakes."

"Three days ago, we defeated a stormman by the sea and obtained the main ingredient of the potion."

"I told him that these monsters are memetic, so why don't we use memetic properties to attract them and then design to hunt them down so that we can use more potion materials."

"I was just joking, but we stayed here that night and he wasn't there when I woke up the night...... He was praying to the Stormbearers...... Attract the Stormers ......"

"He would never be stupid like that...... Something must have affected it......"

Jing Chen moved from the shadows to the front of the paper, the pages trembling slightly on the ground, and many places were soaked by the rain.

That's the first half of the paper, and it seems to explain why this village is the way it is.

Attract monsters to appear, and then hunt for the opportunity to obtain materials.

This is something that the Abnormal Investigation Bureau does not dare to do, and the more you know, the more you dare not do it......

As long as you have taken potions, you would not dare to do this under normal circumstances...... The last sentence of the first half of the paper basically explains this.

】

And there is an upper part, and naturally there is a lower part,

The second half does not write about the origin of anything, but records in great detail the process of this man using memetics to call monsters.

“…… It uses the heart of the stormer, chanting faith in the ocean and the storm...... Constantly describing the perception of the Stormer......"

It's so detailed that it seems like the handwriting is going to jump out of the paper.

It seems to induce the person who looks at the contents of this piece of paper to repeat the matter again.

Jing Chen felt the pollution from this piece of paper, but it had no effect on him.

After pausing his gaze, Jing Chen turned his head and looked at the two figures who were still kneeling facing the rainstorm.

So this incident was induced by these two people with abilities that were specifically affected in some way?

It's that easy?

Jing Chen looked at these two figures, feeling the scene in the village, and paused.

And this time.

Jing Chen's body, I received a message from the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau again,

Jing Chen's attention was temporarily withdrawn from the puppet.

……

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation. We found an area in the vicinity of Shaowan Bay that was deeply affected by the incident.

Lao Chen: According to the information I have learned, this anomaly may be related to the storm and the ocean.

Lao Chen: In several cities near Shaohai Bay, heavy rain began to fall from daytime. This leaves us with some not-so-good guesses.

Revelation: The Abnormal Investigation Bureau suspects that this time the incident is similar to the last time in Wang'an City?

Lao Chen: Well, the catastrophe just borrowed the power of other existences. The existence behind the dream dagger has already appeared, and there is no reason why the existence behind the flood and storm does not appear.

Revelation: Hmm.

Lao Chen: In that area of deep influence, we found a belief called 'Sea God'.

Lao Chen: I also found clues that may have something to do with the source of this incident. ”

In the house, Jing Chen withdrew some attention from the puppet and looked at the message sent by Lao Chen.

Looking at the last sentence of the message sent by Lao Chen, Jing Chen had a strange feeling,

"Revelation: What clues?

Lao Chen: Found a monster in that area with deep influence, which was mutated by the able.

Lao Chen: This person may have used some kind of memetic or ritual to call for the coming of related beings before.

Revelation: I have a similar clue here.

Takeaway: But I don't think we're in the same area. ”

Jing Chen replied with a message like this,

Then Lao Chen's side paused for a while before there was any news back.

"Lao Chen: Thank you for the information provided by your organization. Some things happen in different regions as well.

Implication: This kind of information will soon be discovered by your bureau itself. ”
