Chapter 160: Illness and Torrents

At this moment, the atmosphere in the stations of the regional bureaus is a little depressing.

The location of the Capital Bureau of Abnormal Investigation.

Investigators affected by an unknown plague have been temporarily terminated from their respective business arrangements,

It was placed in various places within the Investigational Bureau's residence, and there were probably a few people in a secret room that was originally used to take potions, and it also avoided being affected by the plague, and the investigators were too concentrated, and there were unknown and more serious mutations.

One of the secret rooms.

The elite investigator who had spoken to the supernumerary person in Lintian City earlier was also here.

After the call, he paused, glancing at the dark yellow patches on his arms that were about to connect everything.

Then he crouched down calmly, staring at the potion that had been prepared, and then reached out and picked it up.

"It's the same with us. The potions of the potion path that you are taking have been prepared for you. You can choose whether to take it or not. ”

Successful re-taking of potions may be able to alleviate the current situation in his body, which is the information discovered by the Anomalies in a very short period of time.

But that doesn't mean that, at this time, potions are the antidote to this plague,

On the contrary, it is more likely to be a poison that hastened the collapse of death.

Taking potions is already difficult, and there are sacrifices to prepare for everything on weekdays.

What's more, now that the body is seriously ill and the spirit is equally weak, even the will and reason are more to fight the effects of this special plague.

It is more common to fail to take potions, and then collapse and die more painfully.

The reason why it is possible to alleviate the effects of the plague is that there are too few successful samples.

“…… Help me get it. ”

The two investigators who had previously interrupted the handling of special events and returned to the station were also in this chamber.

The investigator who first felt some itching in his body, and who had the ability to 'heat and fire',

At this moment, he was already weak and dying, and his body was covered with dark yellow patches from itchy to full, and then the dark yellow patches deepened in color, and the skin and flesh rotted, and the process was very short.

By now, his whole body, the flesh and skin on his face had festered, and there were still blisters in some places, and after tearing it open, it was bleeding red and white foul-smelling pus.

The entrails were also rotten, and the effects of the plague were like eating away at his guts inch by inch, tormenting him with all kinds of pain.

Up to now, from time to time I coughed weakly twice, and then vomited out some blackened visceral tissue, mixed with some black water,

It's like stagnant water under rotting leaves, mixed with other filth.

He is not dead yet, and he is already the tenacity of the investigators of the Investigation Bureau, whose will and vitality far exceed that of ordinary people.

He leaned weakly against the wall, with a pillow on his back that his comrade had given him earlier, and the pillow was already soaked with flesh and blood and pus.

After hearing the words of the elite investigator, he barely half-opened his flesh-rotting eyes, watched his comrade reach for the potion, and spoke weakly.

"Okay."

The investigator who has some 'storm and sea' abilities can only be said to be in a slightly better condition, but not much better.

Halfway back to the station, he also noticed that his body began to itch, and now the dark yellow patches had become a patch on the skin, and the color had deepened, and bruises and decay were already appearing.

The internal organs also felt like they were being corroded by something, as if they were being torn apart by something.

At the same time, it seems that his own vitality is also gradually passing in the process and becoming weak.

Hearing the investigator's words, he looked at his dying comrades-in-arms, who were dying, and said nothing.

He only answered hoarsely, then staggered and barely got up, and reached out to take the two pairs of potions that had been configured and contained in glass containers.

Removed the lid from the 'Flame and Heat' potion and handed it to the investigator leaning against the wall,

The extremely weak investigator leaned his head against the wall, tilted his gaze at the potion handed over, and tried to raise his hand to take it,

It was only when his hands trembled that he lifted off the ground a little, and then he twisted and fell to the ground again...... His bones were also a little rotten.

"Help me ......"

"Okay."

The investigator with the potion here, looking at his comrades who seemed to want to laugh but couldn't laugh, still just responded,

Then, with two hands, one hand handed the 'Scorching and Flame' potion to his comrade's mouth, and the other hand held the potion he was going to take and opened it to his mouth.

"Well, drink with you."

The elite investigator looked at the secret room and everyone picked up the potion, and a smile appeared on his face,

Then he took the potion, motioned to the others as if he were drinking, and then tilted his head and drank it all.

The other investigators likewise, quickly or slowly, silently drank the potion.

The investigator leaning against the wall swallowed the potion as well.

The investigators of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation never gave up, not even because they died.

Even if it's more painful, even at this moment, for most investigators, this potion is a deadly poison,

The investigator of the Investigation Bureau also calmly went to his death and died forward.

Leaning against the wall, the investigator swallowed the potion, and finally squeezed out a little smile on his face,

His face, which was no longer full of flesh, looked a little creepy, and blood was oozing from the roots of his exposed teeth.

"Peng ......"

The investigator leaning against the wall was the first to die in this chamber,

After drinking the potion, the already weak body and spirit were almost overwhelmed by the pollution and influence of the potion.

The whole person is like a watermelon that rots and swells inside, and then suddenly collapses at a certain point, and the flesh and blood pour out like rotten pus.

Only a very faint, muffled sound was made.

Then, a fire ignited on the investigator's collapsing flesh,

Clusters of flames seemed to have some warmth, burning all over the room.

Eventually, the fire was extinguished, and the investigator's body was left with nothing left in the world, and everything disappeared with the dancing flames.

The investigator next to him, who was also taking potions, and the other investigators naturally saw the sacrifice of this investigator.

The comrade-in-arms who was most familiar with the investigator looked up and watched the last of the flames disappear.

Naturally, there was some sadness, but the sacrifices at this moment were all things that had been expected a long time ago.

Immediately after, he couldn't care about his grief, the effects of the potion were squeezing his consciousness and body.

In the secret room,

One by one, the investigators were afflicted by the effects of potions and the plague.

It's been a long time here,

One after another, the investigators failed to take potions and died, and most of the investigators were silent and had no words left.

Failed to take the potion, collapsed, and then died.

At last

In this secret room, only the investigator who took the 'Storm and Sea' potion, the elite investigator, and another investigator successfully took the potion.

"How are you feeling?"

The elite investigator asked.

Here, the investigator is still looking at the place where his comrade-in-arms died.

"I do feel relieved...... But it's more like the life force that flowed away has returned...... It's like a plague, and it's like a polluted thing, but it's still there. ”

The investigator paused, then turned back and said.

"Well, I feel the same way."

The elite investigator turned his head.

……

"The potion is ready ......"

In Lintian City, the middle-aged man hurriedly and carefully prepared the potion.

When he turned around with the container containing the potion, he found that his wife had collapsed on the bed.

The skin and flesh on his body have completely rotted, and his eyes are closed, and he can't stop trembling.

And the lips that were also festering squirmed slightly, and something as black as filthy pus gushed out of his mouth and trickled down the bed.

It was as if she had lost consciousness, and only a few reflexes from her tattered body were left to prove that she was barely alive.

Looking at his wife, the middle-aged man paused, and then quickly stepped forward and hugged his wife,

"Wake up...... Wake up, don't fall asleep ......"

The middle-aged man had some pain on his face, and called out softly to his wife, reaching out and gently patting his wife's rotten cheek,

Tried to wake his wife back, but in exchange, all he got was more and more black water flowing from his mouth, mixed with blackened visceral tissue.

The middle-aged man's expression was even more painful, and he hugged his wife tightly, but he felt deep despair,

He clenched his teeth, feeling powerless as he fell into the abyss.

He could feel his wife's life passing quickly, but he couldn't find a way to stop it.

There is no way, there is no way!

Taking potions requires the will to fight against the contamination of potions.

And now, his wife is completely asleep, unconscious, and no longer even qualified to take potions.

"I beg you...... Wake up......"

"Please...... I beg you...... Don't sleep or not, don't walk well...... I beg you to ......"

The middle-aged man had red eyes and begged his unconscious wife in despair,

But the wife in his arms, her body gradually turned like a puddle of mud, and there was no response.

Until the painful reflex tremor on his body disappeared, and until he was completely near death, his wife did not open her eyes again.

Men are not willing to give up,

Only when his wife was completely unconscious, he still poured the prepared potion into his wife's mouth.

“……”

His wife even lost her swallowing reaction, but the potion eventually flowed in.

And in the desperate waiting of men,

Sure enough, his wife's body collapsed after taking the potion.

The shattered flesh crumbled to the ground, as hard as if it had been frozen.

He also reached out in a panic to pick it up, as if he wanted to rebuild his wife's appearance,

It's just that how can the broken flesh and blood be piled up,

In the end, the collapsed flesh and blood melted like melting ice and snow, and disappeared without a trace.

The man sat on the ground in pain and despair, his eyes blank, speechless for a long time.

"Buzz ......"

At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang noisily,

“……”

The man paused and paused before he reacted, he stretched out his hand and staggered up,

Picking up the phone, I saw that it was his mother's phone.

After picking it up, it was his child's voice,

"Where's Dad, Mommy?"

"Why did you let grandma pick me up today, and let me go to grandma's house to play."

The middle-aged man listened to the voice of the child opposite, silent for a while, and when he heard the child ask his mother, his eyes were even redder.

The tears finally rolled down.

“…… You stay at Grandma's house for a few days, and when Daddy is done, he will pick you up. ”

“…… Come, to grandma, grandma and your dad two words...... Is there something in the house, Tongtong, why didn't you hear a sound today? ”

Earlier, at the urging of his wife, he called his mother and asked her to pick up the child from school and not to let the child come back.

“…… Well, it's a bit of a thing. ”

"It's not that you two want to go out to travel again, so just leave the child here for a few days."

"Hmm...... We want to get out and about. ”

I don't know how the damn thing spreads here, the middle-aged man doesn't dare to say anything, and he doesn't dare to reveal any information about mysterious things.

He looked down at the dark yellow patches on his arms that also appeared...... His physical knowledge was slower than his wife's. During the call with the Anomaly, he already noticed that he was starting to itch on his body.

Raising his head again, as if facing his mother on the other side of the phone, the man controlled his emotions, barely squeezed out some smiles, and replied.

"That's okay, then you two can have fun, I take care of the child, you can go out with confidence."

"Well, don't worry."

“…… Grandma, Daddy, are they going to hang out...... Why don't you take me? ”

“…… It's okay, they don't take you, grandma takes you, where do you want to play, tell grandma...... Okay, that's it, let's not talk about it. ”

The phone hung up,

The middle-aged man paused, and looked back at the dark yellow that had gradually become a piece of cultivation on his body,

Then he got up again, and he also needed to prepare the potion again, and then take it.

But...... Although he still has some special materials, even the main materials of potions, these are all traded by him when he sold them on the Divine Revelation Platform before.

But there was no longer the main material he needed to take potions.

In other words, he needs to go to the Apocalypse platform to trade first.

Standing up, the middle-aged man walked up to the computer and sat down, and put some transactions on the Apocalypse platform.

Soon, much sooner than usual seemed to be, someone offered to agree to the deal.

The middle-aged man didn't bother to talk about the details, he completed the transaction directly, received the things through the teleportation ritual, and began to configure the potion.

……

"Lao Chen: Mr. Apocalypse, we have detected a plague spreading among investigators, or those who have taken potions.

Lao Chen: I don't know if your organization has monitored the same situation, and if you have more relevant information.

Lao Chen: We are not completely sure how this particular plague spreads at this time, but we only know that after being affected, taking the potion again can be alleviated, and in addition, there are no senior investigators affected at the moment.

Revelation: It is a memetic form of plague, and anyone who knows of its existence can be infected.

Revelation: In addition, a senior investigator who has taken potions enough times and has some authority is not immune to the spread of the plague, but the process is slow and the effects are slower.

Revelation: It may not be that ordinary people will not be affected, but it is just that the information of the mysterious world has not yet spread to ordinary people. ”

It was already night, Jing Chen returned to the bank of the Wang'an River and sat alone behind the stall.

Seeing the message sent by Investigator Chen, and then as a revelation, he set aside the progress of doom and fate.

After Jing Chen's news returned, Lao Chen seemed to pause for a long time before another news came back.

"Lao Chen: She has already come?

Revelation: Well, she came. ”

Filth and plague have arrived, and it is almost foreseeable that when the information about the existence of this particular plague spreads, the whole world will collapse without a process.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Apocalypse, I wonder if you and your organization have any other measures to deal with this special plague?

Revelation: Not yet.

Implications: In addition, disease is not only embodied in the disease of ordinary people, nor is it only reflected in the disease of the investigator, she is a conceptual existence, and the whole civilization can get disease, and the whole world is the same......

Lao Chen: We see, thank you Mr. Revelation for the information you shared. ”

Ended the exchange with the Anomaly Bureau,

Jing Chen looked back at the news and discussions on the Internet.

Regarding the new drug disguised by the flesh organization, the mainstream announcements and mainstream conspiracy theories on the Internet still exist.

The mainstream conspiracy theories are like deliberately leaving an opening.

However, when too many people believe that filth and plague are already coming here, it seems to have a memetic effect.

Doesn't it mean that so many diseases originate from one plague?

And then...... There really has to be a special plague in the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation.

It's like the flash flood in Wang'an City......
