"Young man, you're here, what are you going to eat today?"

It was already night, and after watching the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies leave the booth,

Jing Chen sat behind the stall, looked at the outline and lights of the whole city in the night, and after a while, he also left the bank of the Wang'an River.

It's rare that Jing Chen didn't directly turn into a shadow, and jumped back directly from the shadows.

I chose to look at the streets and cities that were still lively at this time, and walked all the way back.

When he arrived at the bun shop he frequented outside the community, Jing Chen paused.

In the bun shop at night, there are no more customers,

Although the lights are still on in the shop, the lights are far less dazzling than those surrounding restaurants, and they are a little dim in comparison.

The owner and his wife in the bun shop were sitting on the two stools in the middle, and the man gently touched his wife's belly through his clothes, smiling from time to time and talking to each other.

Jing Chen paused outside the store, then turned around and walked into the steamed bun shop.

The boss and his wife turned their heads one after another, and they both recognized Jing Chen, an old customer.

The woman first smiled and beckoned to get up, and the man put his hand on her hand to let her sit and rest,

She just shook her head, smiled and said it was okay, then turned around and greeted Jing Chen again,

"Do you still have the meat buns?"

"Also, you're late today, so you're left with some meat buns and vegetarian buns. It may be a little cold, you sit down first, and I'll go and reheat the buns. How many do you want? ”

"Let's have six meat buns."

"Okay, you sit."

In the shop, against the walls on both sides, there are two long tables on each side.

Jing Chen chose a place not far away and sat down at the table.

“…… I'll come, just sit here and rest, don't get tired for a while. ”

"It's okay, it's only been a month or two, how can it be so delicate."

"Sit down, you're not worried, I'm still worried."

Over there, the man and the woman were talking, and the woman was helped to sit down again.

The woman thought it was funny, but didn't say anything more.

I looked at my husband and turned around to work, then turned his head and greeted Jing Chen,

"Little brother, why is it so late today?"

"Something."

Listening to Jing Chen's response, the woman nodded.

Even if you talk casually, you will naturally not delve into it.

"Boss, you haven't cleaned up so late?"

"Hey, the two of us live upstairs and don't need to rush. Although there are few customers in the evening, there are still a few guests who go back at night to buy. ”

The woman smiled and looked at the inside of the shop, and looked upstairs next to her.

"Young man, are you going to eat your buns here, or are you going to take them away?"

Over there, the man with the hot bun turned around and asked.

"Let's eat right here."

Jing Chen responded, and looked at the red-faced woman again,

The couple's original child seems to have been victimized by the original lies and deceptions.

Even now, the couple doesn't realize that they once had a child.

At this point, in the past two or three months, the woman seems to be pregnant again.

Jing Chen looked at the woman's belly, which was not yet pregnant,

"Listen to what the boss said earlier, the boss lady has a child?"

"Hmm. I didn't have to go before, but a month or two ago, when we all said we were going to the hospital. The results are coming. ”

The woman responded with a smile and gently touched her belly,

"But it's not that old, it's only been less than two months."

Jing Chen listened to the woman's words, and his eyes fell on the woman's stomach again, and he was speechless for a while.

Just thinking,

If everything goes according to the peep into the future, then the child in this woman's arms at this moment may not wait for the day of birth.

After a pause,

Jing Chen seemed to come back to his senses, raised his head, and then touched his pocket,

"That's a big congratulations. I don't know if you have a happy event here, so you didn't prepare in advance, so please don't mind. ”

Jing Chen took out a few large bills from his pocket, folded them, and handed them to the proprietress.

"Where are you...... How embarrassing is that. ”

Probably didn't expect Jing Chen to salute, the woman stood up, a little at a loss, and waved her hand to refuse.

"We haven't congratulated you on any happy events. Where are you...... How embarrassed are we to take it. ”

"It's okay, it happens to be a happy event, and it should be a gift."

"Little brother, don't use this...... It's enough for you to say hello......"

The man also walked out with a plate of hot buns and a bowl of equally hot soy milk.

also hurriedly followed and said politely.

Jing Chen smiled, and just put the red envelope money on the table in front of the couple.

"Where are you...... It's so kind......"

"Here...... You go to fry two dishes, let's always entertain the little brother. ”

She didn't refuse to give in anymore, but still put the money away, and the woman turned to her husband again.

"Yes, yes, little brother, don't eat this bun yet. I'm going to stir-fry two dishes, and we'll take two sips. ”

The man also reacted and was about to go to the kitchen.

"You don't have to cook. I'm hungry, so I don't wait for your food, so I pad my stomach with buns. ”

"It won't be long before you can eat it first, and I'll fry it right away."

"Next time."

"That'...... When our children set up the wine on the full moon, you must come. ”

Seeing that Jing Chen had already eaten the buns, the man also stopped.

In the end, the two of them sat down at a table next to Jing Chen, and then talked to Jing Chen.

"Little brother, that ...... Have you had enough to eat here, and I'll go and give you some warmer? ”

"No need."

Jing Chen saw that the boss and his family were about to care about it from time to time, so he raised his head and said something else,

"Did you think of a name?"

"Not yet, it's still early. But I thought of a nickname, called Xinxin. ”

"Hmm. That's good. ”

Jing Chen nodded, he remembered that the child was called like this before the two of them were called.

"That's good...... He's the ...... we both have in mind."

Looking at these two people, they were a little embarrassed, and they wanted to find some topics to continue talking to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen didn't stay any longer, and gave the last two buns to Blood Eagle.

After Jing Chen finished eating, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, sit down a little longer?"

"No, I'll go back, next time."

"Well, too. It's cold these two days, so it's good to go back to the house early. I don't know what's wrong, but a few days ago I said that it would be warmer in two days, but it's been two days here, but it's a little colder and colder. ”

"I don't know if it's the abnormal weather in the capital again......

Jing Chen nodded, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, there was a little muffled sound outside the shop, and then there was a squirming movement.

Some of the wall ash was still falling down the door of the bun shop, and some of it was falling to the ground.

The owner of the bun shop took two steps and looked up at the door.

"Hey...... The sign was blown off by the wind...... Phew......"

slipped a little wall ash again, and landed the owner of the bun shop.

Jing Chen also walked out of the bun shop, and it also looked like the exterior wall was a little weathered.

Then he walked straight away.

"Slow down......"

……

“…… It's really unlucky, and I don't know if it's the elevator company I'm looking for. Okay, the elevator can still fall down and kill people. ”

"At the beginning, everything was the best elevator, and the elevator shafts were repaired according to ultra-high standards. As a result, saying that falling to death is not a person falling to death, so scared that I didn't dare to take the elevator when I went downstairs today. ”

"You can't blame the elevator entirely...... To say that the family is really big, saying that the adult is on the big phone next to it, and the two- or three-year-old child pressed the elevator by himself. ”

"The kid was still going back and forth at the elevator door...... After the elevator was stuck on that floor for a while, the identified things on both sides of the elevator were also so coincidental that they broke down...... And then the child was locked up, crying and making trouble...... And then before the elevator company came, the elevator broke down......"

Walking into the community, Jing Chen heard a few people talking on the edge of the small square of the community.

It's probably that there is one more person in the community who died accidentally.

"Don't say anything too scared to take the elevator...... After that incident, the elevator in the entire community stopped, saying that it was a collective inspection and maintenance, and I don't know if it was good at this time. ”

"It's okay to check it, or you say it's scary."

Jing Chen walked from here to the building where he was.

At the elevator entrance on the first floor, it happened that the people of the property had just taken away the sign that was forbidden to be used at the elevator door, and they saw Jing Chen and said hello to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen looked at the elevator with the door still closed and paused.

Probably because of his keen perception, there was a strange feeling in front of his eyes.

After a pause, Jing Chen reached out and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, the door slowly opened, and Jing Chen walked in.

"Buzz ......"

The elevator door closes, press the floor to go up,

The subtle sound of the elevator running sounded in the car,

Other than that, the elevator seems to be isolated from the outside and is exceptionally quiet.

But every slight movement seems a little harsh.

Jing Chen raised his head slightly, looked at the only light in the elevator car,

The lamp emits an incandescent light that illuminates the entire car in full view.

"Winter ......"

A slight sound sounded, and the elevator stopped before it reached the floor.

There was no sign of the elevator doors opening.

Instead, after a quiet moment, it went down again.

It's just that I didn't go down to the first floor, and then I accelerated to climb upstairs.

At the same time, Jing Chen felt more strange feelings just now.

And right here, the elevator is getting faster and faster up and down.

A child's crying gradually sounded in Jing Chen's ears,

The crying grew louder and louder, and gradually became heartbreaking.

Jing Chen sensed something similar to pollution, presumably something that symbolized death.

It seems to induce him to die, to induce him to move closer to death.

It's just that he can only sense the existence of this pollution, but this power has no effect on him in the slightest.

This is what the Bureau of Anomalies calls a rule-based special event?

Jing Chen slowly turned his gaze and looked at the still empty car.

Indifferent to the increasingly heartbreaking, bitter cries and the seemingly heavier and heavier effects around them.

It's just that Jing Chen tries to touch the surrounding influences with keen perception, pollution, or death rules.

Then, as if perceiving, seeing farther and farther away,

Until he drifted to an unknown place and peeked into an indescribable existence......

In other words, existence is enough, but it is just a kind of nothingness.

If the existence of lies and deception has a symbol similar to the fog,

What I saw was nothing...... It's just that when you see this nothingness, all you can think of is ...... Death.

In the calm, Jing Chen withdrew his attention,

"Wow...... Wow......"

"Help......

The cries around him have changed from the most poignant to hoarse, intermittent, with pain and fear.

Jing Chen thought about the method that the Abnormal Investigation Bureau had said before to destroy this kind of rule-based special event,

Calmly waited for the cry to finally stop...... Then, the elevator also slowed down, as if it was powerless.

Feel the ...... again The special effects associated with death seem to be gone.

Stretching out his hand, Jing Chen pressed the floor again.

The elevator went up normally again and arrived at the place.

……

“…… Hey, Mr. Jing. Do you need someone to cook these days? ”

"Don't use it for the time being, Uncle Pang, you better help me look at the house over there first."

"Mr. Najing...... I'll just take the money for the house. You don't have to give me the money to cook and be a cook...... I haven't been here for so many days, and I really don't feel at ease. ”

"Uncle Pang, you still think the salary is too high?"

"No, no...... I just don't feel like I'm doing anything, taking so much money...... Mr. Jing sees when he needs me to cook, so let's recalculate the money at that time. ”

"That's it, Uncle Pang, you can cook some dishes for me in the kitchen over there tomorrow, and then bring them over."

"Okay...... Line ......"

"Mr. Jing, do you think I followed the previous arrangement, or do you have anything you want to eat?"

"Let's do it as before."

"Okay, Mr. Jing, then Mr. Jing, I won't bother for now."

……

"Bird: Mr. Apocalypse, I've amassed some special materials.

Bird: I can't store it here, can I hand it over to the organization in advance?

Revelation: Then you can teleport over with the Ritual of Teleportation.

Bird: Okay, thank you, Mr. Revelation, for your kindness and forgiveness.

Bird: Mr. Apocalypse, I want to ...... Taking the potion again, I wonder if the sharing I've accumulated is enough.

Revelation: Can you fully withstand the side effects and effects of taking potions?

Bird: With your protection and watch, everything is going well.

Bird: I'd like to take more potions and get more powers...... As long as I can contribute more to you, Mr. Revelation, it is my greatest honor.

Revelation: Yes, I'll give you the potions I've prepared.

Bird: Thank you, Mr. Revelation, for your kindness and forgiveness.

Bird: ...... Mr. Apocalypse, there are some things I don't know if I can know.

Bird: Recently, I've been feeling like the temperature and some things are a little unusual...... Isn't it ......"

……

"Occultist: Great Mr. Apocalypse, I will follow your previous instructions and pay attention to many of the natural deaths passing through the village.

Occultist: As you might expect, every village feels like they've been dying in recent times.

Occultist: Some people die in accidents, some people die in man-made disasters, some people die in sickness...... It's normal for everyone to die.

Occultist: But there seem to be a lot of dead......

Occultist: Mr. Apocalypse, is there something terrifying coming? ”

……

In the room, Jing Chen sat on the sofa, holding his mobile phone.

It's like fate is crocheted, and from the moment he returns to the house,

In various forms, he receives messages from different familiar people,

It's like fate is stirring something,

To make him inexplicably calm his mind, there are some ups and downs.

Jing Chen doesn't have many acquaintances in this world, and after replying to the message to Uncle Pang, Yu Huanting, Qiu An, and even Yu Chengheng,

Sitting here, I unconsciously think of the end of the world in my mind.

Jing Chen's mood was really a little fluctuating.

What is the end?

How can we stop death from coming?

If all beings who are called gods will be greeted by the coming of the end.

Does it mean that no great being can be borrowed to prevent the coming of the end?

】

Jing Chen diverged his thoughts and thought.

But the complicated news he received at this time has not stopped,

Just replied to those previous messages,

I received another message from the Anomalous Bureau.

Lao Chen informed the revelation of the prophecy that the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation had received from the powerful man on the banks of the Wang'an River, as well as the results of the discussions of the senior investigators.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation...... Therefore, we are prepared to only consider delaying her arrival, or to continue to do our best to maintain order and dignity in this world until she finally arrives. ”
