"Thank you, sir, for the inspiration."

There was silence for a while, and then the reptile raised its head again and said to this mysterious great being.

Jing Chen just shook his head.

The reptile paused again, then asked,

"How much time do we have, sir?"

"The coming of death has a gradual and accelerated process, beginning with the death of life, and then the death of the whole city, the whole world, all the buildings, all the plants, the visible, the invisible...... This also includes civility, and order. Physical, conceptual...... There will be some time for this process. It would be about two months before it all came to an end, and time came to an end at that moment. ”

Jing Chen thought about the future picture he had peeked at before, gave an answer, and also described.

And on the side of the reptile, he seemed to feel that the words of this great being were mixed with some mysterious power,

It seems that the picture of the end of the world is also the most secret knowledge.

That picture seems to emerge in front of the reptilian eyes,

Houses are crumbling, plants are withering, people are falling.

Temperature and sunlight are disappearing, and the concept of existence is erasing.

He seemed to be in the midst of that destruction, and his body and consciousness seemed to be being pulled and pulled directly into the final end.

And he also seems to be affected by the power of the end, unable to struggle, not knowing how to resist, just welcoming the moment to come.

"Still, order and civilization may collapse much sooner than that."

Jing Chen's words sounded again.

The voice of the words pulled back the reptile that seemed to be about to enter the picture that was getting more and more real, the end of the world,

When the spirit and consciousness returned, the reptile trembled uncontrollably.

The image was still in his mind, but he had tried his best to restrain his perception and no longer think about and feel the picture.

He seemed to be pulled into the end of it all, and the increasingly real picture seemed to directly replace everything around him.

Across time, that's how it comes.

He lowered his head and continued to listen to the words of the great being.

"In the collapse of order, there may be more conceptual beings coming, disasters, fears, lies, storms, ......"

Jing Chen paused, and then naturally repeated the words he had heard when he peeked into the future,

"All great and humble beings will welcome the coming of the end."

After Jing Chen's words were finished, he was also thinking about that moment.

The order that the Bureau of Divergent Tunes has worked so hard to maintain is about to collapse,

And this time in the future, it seems that it will be difficult to find an answer.

Supposedly he should have a strong sense of uneasiness right now,

There are no eggs under the nest, if everything in the whole world comes to an end,

Jing Chen didn't think he could be spared.

But he was not afraid of it, but calmed it down.

On second thought, it's just a little ...... Out of sorts.

Jing Chen was thinking about this here.

The reptile in front of the stall lowered its head and may not have spoken for a long time after Jing Chen was silent.

There was a very clear despair in his heart.

In the future described by this great being, he did not see a trace of hope or possibility.

Even before everything comes to an end, the various 'gods' that come down because of the collapse of order are not something that the Bureau of Anomaly can find a way to deal with.

Or not to cope, but to struggle.

Those who struggle may not be able to do it.

Although he will not give up all struggles because of despair,

The investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies have always walked in despair, and then looked for hope in despair.

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance."

After a long silence, the reptile thanked again,

And then the Anomaly and this great being have been tacitly understood,

As a reward for the guidance, a sunflower was carefully placed on the stall.

"We're going to try as much as we can...... Then next time, I'll visit you again. ”

"Hmm."

The reptile stood up, glanced at the fate agent and fate believer next to him, and paused,

Just turn around and leave.

Jing Chen nodded, and gave the reptile one more reminder,

"In the process of death, the flowers in the flowerbeds of the Anomaly Bureau will also wither."

She is the only one in the Bureau who has a flower garden.

The flowers in the flower garden have withered, which means that the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau has always been here, except for the Wang'an River.

The most powerful and final channel for obtaining information has lost its purpose.

There may be no way she can prevent death from coming.

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder."

The reptile was silent and said nothing more.

It was only after thanking the great being again that he turned to leave.

“……”

Jing Chen watched the senior investigator of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau walk away,

I didn't know what to say for a while.

He didn't have any fear in his heart, but he didn't want the whole world to be overwhelmed by that nothingness.

Thinking about the state of nothingness I felt when I peeked into the future just now...... There is nothing uncomfortable or happy in that state.

But thinking about it in this state now, even if there is no intuitive emotion, Jing Chen thinks that it should be a little boring, right?

Maybe that's probably why he's a little unhappy in his heart right now.

After a pause,

Jing Chen didn't analyze his psychology anymore, but just began to think about the crisis that this world would usher in.

What can be done to stop death?

How can we solve the crisis caused by the coming of those gods before the arrival of death?

Jing Chen thought, and glanced at the stall of Old Man Hong next to him.

It seems like...... There is nothing that can be done.

……

Anomaly.

This reptile has visited the great existence on the bank of the Wang'an River,

Lao Chen and the others over there also explored the new rule-based special events that appeared in various regions.

Then a group of senior investigators had a discussion, either by conference call or in person.

When the reptile informs the other senior investigators of the information it has obtained from the Great Being.

The whole enclosed room fell into silence for a long time.

"Looks like we're about to finish our duties in the Anomaly."

After a long time, a senior investigator smiled and spoke.

"Let's wait two months before we talk about it."

The noon horse investigator looked up and answered.

The senior investigator nodded and said no more.

Inside, the room fell into silence again.

Lao Chen raised his head and glanced at the group of senior investigators,

"We can now almost certainly determine that the cause of what we are doing is the coming of death. The impact of death to come. ”

"And death is the forerunner of the end......"

Lao Chen said something and stopped again.

The Utu investigator next to him briefly flickered his gaze, and silently recited 'death' twice and 'end'.

They have little knowledge of the end.

And death...... Whether it is mystical cognition or general cognition, they can't think of anything that can prevent death from coming.

The end of everything is death, life, and the world.

If fate can still struggle, disaster can still find a way to deal with it...... That death is the inevitable existence.

And now, their world will come to an end.

"What do you think is the possibility of preventing death from coming?"

Lao Chen asked out loud.

The other investigators were silent, and after a long pause, the investigator spoke,

"From the message given by the Great One, death ...... It is a conceptual existence from beginning to end. There is no entity, it does not appear directly in front of us. ”

"All we can see is the death of all kinds of people, lives, existences."

"And think conceptually about the possibility of fighting death...... None of us can escape death. All life, and even the world, have a moment of death. ”

As he spoke, as if denying all possibility of dealing with death, the senior investigator closed his eyes,

opened it again, just gave a proposal that I don't know if it's worthwhile,

"Perhaps we can find out what 'God' can fight against death? See if there is a great being whose authority conflicts with death. ”

"Agents of lies and deception...... Cheating death? ”

"That's not right...... As far as the resurrection of the Lyed Agent is concerned, it should be known that there may not be a confrontation with death. ”

"Mother of Life?"

"Life itself has an end...... It doesn't have to conflict with the authority of death. ”

The senior investigators briefly discussed it, and then the room fell silent again.

Next to Lao Chen, the rabbit investigator who had been thinking about it raised his head again,

Actually, maybe we can think differently. Death is indeed conceptually difficult to prevent her from coming. Even now, as I recited her name, I seemed to know her a little, and I felt that there was no way to stop her from coming. She's like the root of everything...... Can we still make 'death' disappear? ”

The other senior investigators looked at Mao Tu, who continued,

"Then we might consider not stopping it, but finding a way to delay her arrival."

"We no longer think about preventing death from coming, but we should find a way to prevent the other great beings from coming before she comes, because of the collapse of order, or for some other reason."

"I think that when everything came to an end in two months, there should be the reason why these 'gods' came, and their influence should have contributed to the proximity of death."

Utu used to be a doctor.

She just thinks about it with the mind of a doctor.

The whole world is now like a terminally ill patient who is about to die in two months.

At this time, it is pointless to think about the possible death of the patient in two months.

It is better to deal with one symptom when it appears, maybe to protect the physical state of some patients, and delay the arrival of some deaths.

"Even so, it can't delay the coming of death, the coming of the end...... That will at least make our world a little better for the next two months......"

"Preserve some of the dignity of our existence in the last two months."

Mao Rabbit said again.

The other senior investigators were silent for a while, then nodded their heads one after another.

“…… Then we will not consider death itself for a moment, but only the next great being who will come because of these deaths. ”

"Also, try something and try it whenever you can...... Get as much information as you can, and even when death comes, always struggle before you die. ”

"Also...... In the end, let's find a way to get some information. ”

"Good ......"

This brief meeting ended after some further discussions.

Senior investigators in various regions continue to be busy, dealing with special events and twisted monsters.

Mao Rabbit and Lao Chen are in charge of the capital and surrounding areas,

At this moment, after the meeting, Mao Tu did not stop any longer, got up and said a word to Lao Chen, and left.

In this closed room, Lao Chen was the only one left.

After a pause, Lao Chen and Yinhu, who was in Haiping City, resumed video conferencing.

"Lao Chen, for that death, or the coming of the end after death......"

"I don't seem to be terrified."

Yin Hu and Lao Chen faced each other, and after a pause, Yin Hu spoke, his eyes slightly flickered,

"On the contrary, I felt some inexplicable joy and peace of mind. Death, or the end after that, should have been the end of everything, the end of everything. It seems that he should not resist her arrival. ”

Yin Hu paused as he spoke,

"It may be the influence that I plundered the authority of the sea god and replaced the position of the sea god that made me feel this way......"

Yinhu, who has obtained some authority from the sea god, is also approaching conceptual existence in a sense.

Maybe it's barely the great and humble beings in the prophecy who are about to meet the end of life?

"I feel a little bit of that......"

Lao Chen nodded.

Then the two were relatively silent.

"If there is really no way to resist her coming...... That's just like Mao Rabbit said, try to leave some dignity for our former existence, our world. ”

"I don't know if the end will come only our world, or all the worlds...... If it were only our world, then the arrival of Mahar would not seem bad, at least in the distant future, and life will remember that our world once existed. ”

Finally, Yin Hu said out loud.

Lao Chen nodded and didn't say anything.

Although he felt that from the prophecy of the Great Being, it was not quite like they were the only ones who would be the only ones who would be like this.

In other words, Yinhu's beautiful expectations, as well as the struggle for dignity of the Heterogeneous Bureau, are meaningless.

But Lao Chen didn't object to Yin Hu's words.

After ending the video call, Lao Chen paused in place again, and then left the room quickly.

……

“…… Your son is on vacation. Do you want to take him out for a walk? ”

Lintian City, on the edge of the balcony.

The man, who had some of the ability to steal heat, was drying clothes on the balcony with his wife.

His wife took out her clothes, and he hung them on the shelf, saying something in passing.

Although both of them have taken potions, the man has taken them quite a few times.

But with children, at home, parents are still indispensable.

Listening to his wife's words, the man paused, then shook his head,

"Lately, it's not been peaceful. Forget it, just let him stay at home. ”

The man thought of the last time he went out, what happened in that mountain village, although there was no danger, there was no need to take the child to a dangerous place.

The man thought about it and nodded.

"Then let him stay at home...... Originally, his teacher had asked them to go to him for a make-up lesson on vacation. How do you know that his teacher seems to be sick, and it is quite serious. ”

"Shall we go and see it?"

"No need, your son has followed a few of his classmates to visit the hospital, and we parents should not get involved in the affairs of the child and the teacher."

"Hmmm......"

"Some time ago, I said that the weather was going to get warmer, but now it's inexplicably cool again, and I haven't dried my clothes here for two or three days."

"Wait for tomorrow, you follow me to take the thick clothes upstairs to dry."

"Okay."

For these trivial matters, men are not too annoying,

On the contrary, compared to the side effects of facing potions, and those mysterious and weird things,

He kind of enjoys the daily things in the house.

But after answering, the man paused again,

“…… You just said that it was cold for the past two days? ”

The man turned around and asked suddenly.

"yes?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the man's reaction was wrong, the woman put down the clothes in her hand and asked.

“……”

The man didn't speak.

Just turned around and opened all the windows on the balcony that could be opened.

Then reach out and feel the wind blowing from time to time.

Then, even more silent.

"What's wrong? Speak! ”

The woman was a little anxious and asked again.

The man turned his head and looked at his wife, his hand still outstretching out the window.

Although he is like him, a person with the ability to take potions, the outside temperature and environment have little effect on his body.

But there is no problem with perception.

At this moment, he stretched out his hand outside the window, obviously feeling that the wind was blowing with some warmth,

Feel it carefully, and even feel as warm as bathing in the spring sun, as if returning to the arms of your mother.

“…… You said earlier, how many people died in our community during this time? ”

"There should be a dozen."

The woman hastened to answer.

The man fell silent again.

He had this strange feeling, which could only come from the potion he was taking.

And I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it, I have some inexplicable, vague feelings.

The name of the potion he's been taking is called,

"Cold and Death"
