Chapter 119: The Sea
"News from the Apocalypse Organization, Pinghai City has found a similar situation here."
Lao Chen stood in a ruined and dilapidated room, and the previous monsters in the house had been eliminated.
Only a few of the handwriting left on the wall was unusually clear in the hands of the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations.
"Hmm."
Yinhu next to him heard the sound, and then looked at the rainstorm outside the abandoned house, and nodded in response.
"Investigator Yinhu, do you have any special feelings about the surrounding environment?"
The main potion that Yinhu takes is 'Storm and Ocean', and from the external manifestation of the situation on the coast of Shaohai this time, there should be some connection with the source of the potion that Yinhu takes.
"It should have something to do with storms and oceans...... The rainstorm made me feel at ease, but I also felt the urge to slide out of control. ”
Yinhu stretched out his hand and hugged the torrential rain outside the house, then turned his head and said with a smile,
"Maybe the potion I'm taking, is yearning for its master."
"However, for the time being, there are no more special feelings, and special feelings,"
"Hmm. Now the information gathered also points to her......"
Storms and oceans...... Although it may no longer be meaningful, Lao Chen still subconsciously did not cheer for her real name, increasing the slightest possibility of her coming.
"It may be that the 'Lord of Calamity' stole her power from the previous and made her set her sights here."
Yinhu looked at the night in the distance,
"The influence of these people is only secondary...... And it's more like her power affected them first, which caused the situation here. ”
"Hmm."
Lao Chen glanced at the place where the twisted monster had existed before, and then turned his head to look at the rainstorm outside the house.
With the heavy rain is a serious pollution, every drop of rain carries the power to affect reason and consciousness.
Even a group of elite investigators did not dare to expose themselves to the torrential rain for too long, lest they get out of control and distort.
Lao Chen's eyes revealed some worries,
Although he was soon hiding, he regained his usual composure.
This time the scope of the incident is too large, and everything points to a not-so-good possibility.
What else could have had such a big impact on the world......
How long has the world been relatively quiet, and new problems have arisen.
It may even be more difficult than the previous crisis of dealing with the arrival of the Mother of Life,
None of the forces previously lost by the Bureau of Anomalies have been able to recover.
And the advent of 'God' has been implicated with each other since the very beginning, and it has happened in a series of ways.
This reminded Lao Chen of the foreshadowing given by the powerful man on the bank of the Wang'an River - 'End'.
It seems to have foreshadowed the end of everything in the end.
Lao Chen paused, put away some ups and downs in his heart, raised his head, and didn't continue to think.
Because if you think about it any further, despair will naturally crawl out of those thoughts.
The Anomaly can't succeed every time.
In the face of the attention of the conceptual, the great being who holds the authority, why does the Bureau of Anomaly succeed every time.
And once it fails once......
"First find out how many similar places there are along the coast of Shaohai, and solve these places first."
"If it's just a prelude to the coming, let her come a little later. Or...... It is also possible to reduce the impact of some storm forces as much as possible. ”
After a pause, Lao Chen said loudly,
Yinhu nodded, and the investigators next to him also responded,
This is the only thing the Bureau can do for sure right now, at least destroy these monsters first, and prevent the power of the storm from spreading.
As for how much this will affect her after her arrival......
"Let's start here......"
Lao Chen used his power, this place completely eroded by the power of the storm,
The night was temporarily dispelled, the torrential rain and stagnant water evaporated away, and the sun rose from the earth.
When the hot and dazzling light shone on the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation, it only brought some warmth,
When those twisted monsters in this place were pierced and eliminated by pillars of light in an instant.
The other elite investigators also scattered, each using their abilities to deal with the completely twisted monsters.
……
"Boom la la ......"
On the overcast sea, there is not much wind, only the normal tide pushes the waves, back and forth on the beach.
The sea is dark and deep, only the occasional crashing waves are white,
The sea was empty and unobstructed, and the dark waters in the distance seemed to blend in with the dark night.
Standing in front of this night mixed with the boundless sea water is like facing a bottomless and boundless abyss.
At this moment, it is approaching late at night, and it is still raining lightly.
But there were still people on this dark shore.
A thin figure in a raincoat and old boots stepped on the beach, with only a flashlight in his hand.
This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and few people will still be on the beach at this time in such weather.
But he deliberately chose this rainy day to run to this beach.
Facing the boundless sea, the dark night around him seemed to drown him, and the light pillar illuminated by the flashlight in his hand could only illuminate a short distance, which was blocked by the rain and the night.
The light reflects the darkness around him, and in the darkness it seems that there are countless indescribable horrors.
The whole world seemed to be left with his small and insignificant figure.
From time to time, he raised his head and looked at the sea not far away, and there was some fear of the dark and boundless ocean in his eyes.
He didn't know whether he was cold or scared, and he shivered a little.
But he always lingered on the shore, and did not choose to leave.
He is an orphan whose parents were fishermen in this offshore area.
It was in such weather and at night that his parents' fishing boat never docked again, and he never saw his parents again.
Since then, every time the same weather, he will brave the wind and rain to come to this beach to wander back, just expecting those two familiar figures to drive the old fishing boat,
Breaking through the darkness and wind and waves in the distance, he followed the light of his flashlight back to the shore here.
He raised his head again and looked at the dark and boundless sea, facing such an ocean, which set off his extremely small body, and there was some fear for no reason.
He took a flashlight and shook the pillar of light, which did not shine far, towards the surface of the sea.
The sea was still dark, and there was nothing but the rushing water.
He was old enough to be more mature than his peers, so he actually knew very well that his behavior would not bring anything back.
But every time he waited for the same weather, he tossed and turned in the bed in the house, and finally chose the same approach now.
Facing the fear of the sea can sometimes calm his heart.
Turning back, he lowered himself again and picked up a scallop on the beach.
If it's another time, this will be one of his tomorrow's foods,
But at this point, he paused and threw the scallops into the sea.
After a few more steps, he lowered his head and saw the sea again.
Perhaps, the next time he comes, he should carry a bucket.
He thought so, but his eyes still looked at the sea from time to time.
And when he looked at the sea again, he saw something he hadn't seen before.
In the dark night and rain, I don't know when the shadow of a mold lake appeared on the sea in the distance.
It looked like two figures close together, exposing their upper bodies on the surface of the sea.
His sanity told him that it might be some kind of sea garbage, swept up by the sea, or maybe it might simply be some kind of ship's plank stuck upside down in the sea.
Even if it were really two people, it was unlikely that they would be alive.
But he still couldn't help but stop his gaze, his body was still walking forward subconsciously, but his eyes stayed on the shadows of the two mold lakes on the sea.
I couldn't help but hope that the two half-cut figures on the surface of the sea were sitting on a fishing boat, but the fishing boat was obscured by the nearby waves.
Or even if ...... Even if it's just two lost people......
In this anticipation, the shadow of Namo Lake is getting closer and closer on the surface of the sea,
And as he got closer, it became more and more in line with his expectations, which really looked like two people on the sea,
I just never saw the ship.
The boy's eyes widened, and he shifted his feet to the side, trying to see more clearly, to see what he was expecting.
"Huh!"
"Huh! Here'......"
The young man's eyes were a little red, his face was swollen, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
He wasn't entirely sure that there were two people approaching the surface of the sea, not some debris.
But he still shouted, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions he had been feeling for so long.
The two figures that were already approaching on the surface of the sea paused as the young man expected, and then he could see that the two figures turned their heads in this direction.
That's really two people!
Seeing the two figures begin to approach him from the sea,
The boy was a little excited, he saved two people who were lost at sea!
"Here'......"
Although I still didn't see the lower half of the two figures, I looked excited, and it seemed that I was a teenager who had lost his mind.
There was no time to care about this, and the countless memories and images in his mind seemed to be intertwined, and there were some tears in his eyes.
He had wondered countless times if on the night when his parents did not come back, he was guarding the shore because he was playful and could not use a flashlight to show his parents the direction home in the distance.
"Here'......"
Just when the figures on the two seas were getting closer and closer to the shore, when the boys could vaguely see the outlines of their facial features,
Shouting again, the young man who kept moving his feet to the side suddenly hit a rock on the shore and fell on the beach.
This made the shouting boy pause, and he turned his head to look at the huge rock, and then to look at the water that was close to him, and his eyes showed some doubt.
He's been walking along the water's edge, and he shouldn't have hit this rock.
He grew up by the sea and is very familiar with the beach.
According to today's weather, according to today's date, the sea should not have spread to the location of this rock.
It should be about ten meters away from the rock.
This hit it, and the young man's excited brain was cleared up a lot.
He turned his head to look at the shoreline again...... The sea was indeed not what he knew.
Turning his head again, the boy looked once again at the two figures that were approaching on the sea, and neither of them was swimming with their hands, as if they were floating towards the sea.
He felt some fear in his heart, and then looked at the rock beside him that shouldn't have hit him.
Grabbing the flashlight, he got up in one fell swoop, turned around and ran in the direction of land.
And just after the boy ran away,
The two figures on the sea finally approached,
Just waiting for these two figures to appear on the beach, I saw only the upper body of a normal person, a pale and swollen face, eyes closed, and hair dripping seawater.
And the lower half of the body, there are flesh-colored tentacles, and the tentacles are intertwined and twisted with each other.
……
"Hey...... Feed...... The sea level of Shaohai is ...... The range of his high tide was more than ten or twenty meters closer than normal to the land side...... More than 10 meters more than the usual maximum ......"
"I grew up by the sea......"
The boy who ran back to his house in the rain all the way, took the functional machine that was charged at home, and called the police.
The rain crackled on the roof of the boy's house, and the boy shouted to the old man on the phone with some fear of the unknown.
Waiting for the matter to be clarified, the boy gasped and turned on all the lights in the room, and then gradually breathed a sigh of relief in this familiar environment.
"Okay, I'll be careful...... I've come back from the beach. ”
"My home? I'm the only one in my house...... Well...... I also pay attention to safety in the house......"
"Will you send someone over right away? I know...... I just saw ...... I also saw two strange figures on the sea......"
"Don't say? Don't mention it? Okay, I won't say. I know. ”
The teenager ended the call, and he felt a little strange about the attitude of the official personnel after the phone was transferred once.
He's already at home, and he still needs to be safe?
Don't let him mention the two figures on the surface of the sea again?
It's like the person on the other side of the phone realizing what's going on.
He thought about it again, and he couldn't help but feel some fear in his heart.
Hold the phone tightly and look into the empty room.
Even if the lights were on in the room at the moment, it seemed to be getting a little dark in the dark night outside.
Frightened, he nervously leaned to the corner of the hall, waiting for someone to come.
finally
Not long after, there was a knock on his door.
"Is it Ning Haiping?"
"It's me."
Is it the official person, as if the official person is more anxious than him?
The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
……
"In the area of several cities along the coast of Shaohai Bay, we found about 30 villages and gathering places similar to those where we were previously discovered."
"There is a belief called 'Sea God' that spreads in these areas, and it is basically raining heavily with pollution and impact, and basically everything in the area has been twisted into monsters related to the storm sea."
"And basically we can find some 'sources' that cause changes in these areas, and the sources basically point to the sea."
"In addition, most of these villages are close to the sea, and they are often the closest to the coast in a nearby area."
It's at the station of the Alien Bureau closest to Shao Bay. In a closed room.
Lao Chen and other senior investigators were briefing and communicating.
"Also...... Last night, it was also discovered that the coastline of the sea area of Shaohai Bay is quietly moving inland, and at the speed currently monitored, the first seaside village may be submerged by the sea around tomorrow evening. This village has also been eroded by the impact of the storm, and everyone in the village has either collapsed or distorted. ”
Lao Chen paused again as he spoke.
Most of the other senior investigators were silent,
Faced with the question of the possibility of another 'god' descending, the Anomaly Bureau is still a little weaker than the previous empty power.
"It is now suspected that these anomalies are related to the source of the 'Storm and Ocean' potion."
"The suspicion that it may be the aftermath of the arrival of the previous Calamity King prompted her to cast her eyes on our world."
At this time, Yinhu took over the conversation and spoke out to the other investigators.
The investigators looked at Yinhu again, but also did not speak.
If it's determined to be 'Storms and Oceans'.
It seems that the Bureau's previous methods of dealing with other 'god' advent crises will not be able to reproduce this time.
The Bureau of Anomalies doesn't know enough about 'her'.
“…… In addition, Mahal, who is from another world, wants to be involved in our response to this crisis. ”
After a pause, Lao Chen mentioned another thing.
"Agree. It would be nice to have a little more strength. At this time. ”
"Also, let's see how soon we can complete the deal with Mahal. Maybe you can get the ritual of gaining authority, and you can try to increase the strength of some of the Anomalies at this time. ”
The investigator next to him turned his head to look at Lao Chen.
