Chapter 147: Three Days
"Will the authority of the Mother of Life have an effect on 'disease'?"
"It sounds connected, but it doesn't have to be conflicting. Give it a try, collect some special items related to them, and try them out if you can. ”
"In the past, it was related to disease, that is, 'filth and plague', and it was the rat investigator who possessed the relevant ability, and it was the boat investigator who possessed the ability of flesh and blood who might treat the disease from the physical aspect. But they've all died. Neither the new 'Rat' nor the Investigator who has mastered the flesh and blood abilities of the Senior Investigator has yet to appear...... Is it possible that the abilities of the remaining sheep investigators and rabbit investigators have some effect on the 'disease'. ”
"According to the information provided by Mr. Revelation, it may not be that 'filth and pestilence' will not be directly presented to us in the end, so we probably need to face directly not with her, but with patients suffering from various diseases."
"Find out all the special items that you have in the bureau that may have an effect on 'disease'. See if it is possible to reduce her influence from the patient level and prevent her from coming completely. ”
In the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, a group of senior investigators held a video conference to discuss the next preparations.
After Lao Chen said another word, the other senior investigators fell into a brief silence.
"Hmmm......"
Then the senior investigator nodded in response.
The reptile answered, and then raised its head again.
"There's one more thing to consider. What we get is a prophecy about the coming of 'death'. People will die, houses will crumble, plants will wither, and the earth will lose its life. Conceptually, order, consciousness, will also gradually die...... Will the advent of 'filth and pestilence' make the impact of 'disease' not only limited to our bodies...... In recent days, there seems to be an increase in the number of special events due to prayers and special rituals for those monsters. The reasons for this are intertwined, including death, sickness, and even bad luck, so that people who encounter danger and have nowhere to escape, who are seriously ill and medicine is useless, and who fall into the abyss naturally pin a glimmer of hope on mystery.
But this phenomenon is not considered to be 'sick' in our whole world. And it's getting heavier.
The effects of death will cause 'filth and pestilence' to come, and the proximity of 'filth and pestilence' will cause death to come faster...... And the collapse of the order of the whole world will also make the eyes of countless beings turn their eyes on our world one after another......"
As he spoke, the reptile paused. Other senior investigators were also somewhat silent.
Under the inextricable threads, they are entangled, and all people can see is despair.
"Even if we don't consider this 'disease of the world', will that 'disease' have an effect on our 'spirit and will', as well as buildings, man-made objects, and the earth...... Everything that is alive and everything that is inanimate. ”
What the reptile describes is something that is almost inevitable to happen.
It was a conceptual, indescribable, indescribable existence beyond the investigator's comprehension.
Her arrival will definitely turn the whole world in the direction of 'disease'...... Maybe this is also the effect of death?
The final outcome of the 'disease' brought about by the 'filth and pestilence' is death.
"Investigators from all over the world should pay attention to the effects of 'disease' other than the body."
Lao Chen paused, responding to the reptilian's words, and the other senior investigators nodded.
The reptile didn't say anything more.
Beside him, the Utu investigator was silent for a while, and then raised his head again,
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to deal with the large number of patients who have been suffering from the effects of the 'filth and plague'. Do you remember the XR substance that we handed over to Professor Qian Yixue of the Institute of Life Sciences for research? ”
The Utu investigator looked at the senior investigators.
Naturally, the senior investigators present knew what XR was.
It's a flesh monster, the flesh and blood of the glutton, with some relatively weak flesh pollution.
"It was previously discovered that XR substances can cure almost every terminal illness we know of while strengthening the body. As far as I know, in the recent situation, many seriously ill people are trying to squeeze into Professor Qian Yixue's experimental group. ”
Mao Tu didn't say any more, just looked at the other senior investigators.
Wait for other investigators to judge her recommendations.
Lao Chen glanced at the rabbit and turned his head again.
Maybe Professor Qian Xuexue, who conducted the experiment, did not know enough about the origin of XR substances.
But they know very well that the effect of the flesh and blood being able to cure the terminal illness is probably also because of the flesh and blood ability.
In fact, not to mention the revelation of the incomprehensible degree of flesh power,
Even the flesh and blood abilities mastered by the previous Zhou investigators are enough to affect people's flesh and blood and reshape people's bodies.
But the problem is, let those who are seriously ill take flesh and blood substances,
It is equivalent to putting these people under the influence of the power of flesh and blood, and adding believers to the Lord of flesh and blood.
Giving a large amount to people with different serious illnesses is tantamount to helping the Lord of Flesh and Blood spread her influence,
In the creation of a world of flesh and blood.
“…… Widespread use of this substance may spread the effects of flesh power and spread the contamination of flesh monsters. It may be that before we can suppress the effects of the disease with this flesh power, the Lord of flesh will come to our world. ”
After a brief silence, a senior investigator said,
"The side effects of the massive use of flesh and blood can cause our order to collapse faster. Moreover, patients who take flesh and blood substances will continue to be affected by flesh and blood......"
A senior investigator thought of the flesh and blood believers who were once affected by the power of flesh and blood near Beishan in Wang'an City.
Mao Tu listened to the words of the other senior investigators, nodded, and did not speak again.
“…… Let's follow through the previous discussion. As for the proposal of the Utu investigator, I am also ready. Recently, there has been a lot of flesh and blood left. If nothing else is possible......"
Lao Chen said again, and the other senior investigators nodded.
"In addition, in addition to the 'Filth and Pestilence', there is also the 'Doom Master' mentioned by the Apocalypse Organization earlier, which may come at the same time as her, and we have to consider it."
Lao Chen looked at the group of senior investigators.
The crawler, who maintained the video conference, raised his head again, and after a pause, gave a possibility,
"The only thing I can think of that might clash with bad luck is 'fate'."
The senior investigators thought of the situation when the Bureau of Anomalies and the Apocalypse had dealt with 'fate'.
A prophecy of fate came to mind.
At the time, it seemed to be a problem that the Apocalyptic Organization had solved through 'luck' other than fate.
Will this 'bad luck' also conflict with fate?
"I'll leave for a moment."
After the crawler said a word, he temporarily ended the video conference and left.
A group of senior investigators continued their discussions.
"From the information revealed by their real names, there seems to be no conflict...... From the simple cognition, fate does not seem to conflict with bad luck. Doom sounds more like part of fate. ”
"So 'lucky' before?"
A senior investigator spoke up again.
Videoconferencing continued, but occasionally senior investigators had to leave briefly to work on special events that required the involvement of senior investigators.
Until the crawler returned, the other senior investigators were there.
Lao Chen glanced at the communicator again, ending the discussion of the senior investigators.
"Through the mighty one on the banks of the Wang'an River, and our all-knowing her. It has been determined that during this time, the first to come at the same time will be 'Filth and Pestilence' and 'Doom Domination'. ”
"The mighty man on the banks of the Wang'an River has given a possible time, just three days later, when disease and bad luck will cover the whole world......"
Lao Chen finally said another word, and none of the senior investigators spoke again, but only paused briefly, ended the video conference one after another, and left.
……
"Ahem......"
Lintian City, a mountain village near the Longnan Mountains.
This is a natural village, the village is built in a mountain col, a little far from the road,
Only a few dozen families have yet to move out.
Near the head of the village, the door to the hall was closed, and the bedroom door was ajar.
On the bed in the bedroom lay an elderly man and an old lady.
The old lady was lying on her side, with her back to her wife,
The old man was lying flat, his eyes closed, but now he coughed weakly twice, and then opened his eyes slightly.
The curtains in the bedroom were not drawn, and although there was no sun outside, the light still felt a little harsh.
The cloudy eyes moved slightly under the slightly open eyelids, but there was no idea of closing the curtains,
"Ahem......"
He lay like this, and his body did not move for a long time.
Cloudy eyes don't move most of the time, except for the occasional faint cough sounding from the hospital bed.
He was like a dead corpse, waiting for someone to bury him.
I don't know how long it took, as if he finally remembered something, his hand moved slightly, and touched his wife who had been lying on his side all the time.
The old lady lying on her side still had her eyes closed, and there was no response.
The skin is cold to the touch, like pork taken out of the refrigerator.
After listening to it again, I didn't hear the old lady's exhalation again.
It's dead.
The old man realized this, but only moved his hand slightly, and then stopped.
Still didn't move, let alone get up.
The light outside the house shone on him, and he looked more and more like a corpse.
I don't know how long it took, but the light outside the window became a little dim.
After the old man coughed weakly twice, his cloudy eyes changed slightly with the cough.
Then, the picture of the position at the foot of the bed fell into his eyes.
At the foot of the bed, there was some mess scattered around.
There was a plastic bag containing the medicine that his wife had prescribed to the hospital before.
There was a bowl with a pair of scattered fast seeds, and the bowl contained noodles that had been cooked two days earlier, and the noodle soup was a little dry, and the noodles were yellowed and some mold was crawling up.
There was also the quilt on the bed, which did not cover the two people on the bed, so they were randomly piled up in the corner with a few pieces of clothing, and some quilts were stuck in the bowl.
Looking at this picture, the old man still didn't move, but his cloudy eyes were a little more trance-like.
He's probably going to die, too.
Two mornings ago, when he woke up, he suddenly found that his wife was suffering from an emergency, with severe pain all over her body and vomiting blood.
It's not surprising to him that this winter, many old guys in the village have died, died of old age, died of illness, fell and fell to death.
The winter is already difficult, and the old couple is also old.
It's just that his wife didn't leave immediately, he always had to take his wife to the hospital for treatment.
He walked slowly and knocked on the doors of many houses in the village, but he couldn't open them.
In the end, he borrowed a tricycle, put his wife on an electric tricycle, and took him to the hospital.
When I went to the hospital, I said that there was no cure,
His wife wasn't so cooperative.
He begged the doctor to prescribe some medicine, and then returned from the hospital with his wife.
When he came back, he fed his wife medicine, but his wife didn't want to take it.
At noon, he fed his wife medicine again, but her still didn't take it.
Most of the time he lay on his side on this bed, responding only weakly to his cries.
In addition to getting out of bed to cook and boil water for his wife, he lay on the edge of the hospital bed with him.
But at night,
He didn't know why, but suddenly he felt that there was no point in feeding medicine like this.
Anyway, they are going to die, just like the other dead people in the village, so sick, they are going to die.
It's just how long you can live if you are cured.
Then, after cooking the noodles and the medicines at night, he threw them there and lay down beside his wife.
For two whole days, he did not move again,
Didn't go to cook to eat, didn't even try to close the curtains, didn't bother with the quilts piled on the side,
He just thought that he was going to die, either from old age, from illness, or from falling.
He felt that he had just lived for these two days, and what was the point of all this.
So he thought of himself as a corpse first.
And sure enough, yesterday, it was his turn, and his brain suddenly hurt,
And then the eyes, nose, and ears bleed,
The blood had dried up now, and he hadn't wiped it, so what was the point.
“…… Dongdong. ”
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, can you ......?"
At this time, an urgent voice suddenly sounded outside the house, probably trying to ask him for help?
The old man still didn't move, and he didn't even hear the words clearly.
Then he heard a knock on the door outside the house, which was gone for a while...... But there were no more footsteps,
Probably the man who came also figured it out, and didn't leave again at his door.
The old man's gaze became more and more dazed, and the uncontrollable coughing sound became lower and lower.
Suddenly the lungs bulged high, as if to take their last breath.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to remember the morning when he found out that his wife was seriously ill.
“……”
His chapped lips squirmed slightly,
At this life-and-death stake, he seemed to understand something.
He didn't get sick yesterday...... Two nights ago, he had fallen ill when he had climbed into bed and had not moved again.
His spirit and consciousness were sick......
With difficulty, he turned his head, which was already completely out of control,
Looking out of the window with the curtains open,
Two days ago, he seemed to occasionally see people passing by on the village road outside the window.
These days, there are fewer and fewer people until today...... It seems that there is no one except the one who called the door just now.
He had a clearer idea in his mind,
The whole village was sick.
His eyes looked at the moldy face at the foot of the bed, and he wanted to struggle in that direction,
Merely...... I was trembling all over, but I didn't move.
He looked up in the direction of his door,
His mouth was open, probably trying to shout at the man at his door,
Let him run,
But no sound came out of his throat.
And immediately after, his mouth was so open, and he didn't close it again,
There is also a loss of desire to struggle and be reminded.
What's the point, what's the use of reminding him?
Anyway, he's going to die, where can he go?
The 'disease' deprived him of everything,
and even deprived the last desire to survive.
He got mentally conscious and got seriously ill first.
The old man could no longer hear anything,
Although the eyes that were only slightly open did not close, they did not make more movements.
Darkness was drowning him.
"Hoo ......"
The last breath came to an abrupt end, and the old man on the hospital bed lost all movement.
Is it dead......
Outside the door, the middle-aged man leaning against the closed door lost the idea of struggling,
He slumped against the door, with his back to the door that had not moved for a long time, and just thought,
But he didn't get up, and he didn't try to look at the window.
Extremely negative thoughts eroded all his thoughts.
What can he do if he goes and sees......
“…… Pay attention. Things are not right in this village. ”
At this time, there were voices in the middle of the village, and there were voices in the distance.
He is an investigator of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations.
