Wang'an City, the empty station of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

In the coming of the god of fear, this place was also shrouded in darkness.

However, Lao Chen turned into a round of sun, which is also a bright light, illuminating this darkness.

Still illuminated, the sweet dream of the afternoon horse investigator.

The beautiful dream that manifested still presents all the beauty of the afternoon horse investigator,

The breeze, the stream, the shade, the sun, the smoke, the hometown.

Parents, partners, wives.

Kites, marbles, popsicles......

Surrounded by darkness on a wider scale,

This dream is like a pearl.

It's an oasis in the middle of a vast desert,

It's a safe place in the storm.

It is the beauty in terror and hope in despair.

"Lord, Lord of Dreams,"

"I call to your arrival in a dream, and I pray for your coming."

There was no sound from the afternoon horse investigator in this beautiful dream, but it seemed to be praying again, ringing in the ears of several senior investigators next to him.

And immediately after, some faintly distant prayers also sounded here,

"Bodhisattva...... I beg you to ......"

“…… Don't have a disaster......"

The voice is chaotic, and it seems that countless people are following their heart's desires at this moment,

Pray to the unknown existence, hopeful.

The sound began to return to the lake,

Immediately after, it seems to be getting closer, and it seems to be getting more and more.

From the moaning of mosquitoes to the boiling of the city,

And then to a kind of grandiose chanting that seems to resound over a vast area and trembles the spiritual consciousness.

It's like a ritual that calls for the coming of an unknown being,

It's like a celebration of the coming of the unknown.

And senior investigators such as Wu Ma, Lao Chen, and Ugly Bull did feel that a great being seemed to be approaching this world.

The mind is inexplicably calm, and it is difficult to generate the will to fight.

"The master of dreams, the symbol of beauty, the embodiment of eternal sleep."

Lao Chen raised his gaze and looked into the unknown distance,

In the midst of the grand chanting that seemed to be in the ears, calm, the same sentence was recited,

"Please, come."

Countless voices prayed, chanting voices superimposed on each other,

Lao Chen's prayers were only mixed in and drowned out.

And finally,

In the call of the investigators of the afternoon horse, in the prayers or expectations of countless people.

In this vast darkness, in this pearl of dreams embedded in the darkness,

A gust of wind that doesn't know where it blows.

The darkness around is blown by the wind,

The darkness is like water dripping in a glass of clear water, although it is spreading, it is also changing.

The beauty of the afternoon horse investigator who led to the arrival of eternal sleep and dreams was blown by the wind,

The beautiful scene was like a dream bubble, which dissipated little by little with the wind.

The originally dark sky, thick and dense dark clouds seemed to be blown away, revealing the sky.

The eyes that were supposed to be daytime swayed down from the gradually thinning clouds, illuminating the originally dark sky around them, and also illuminating the clouds in the sky.

After the afternoon horse investigator dissipated the beautiful dream, he also revealed the empty appearance of the original station of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

The clouds are scattered.

A little breeze, a little warm sun.

The station of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, Wang'an City farther away, returned to its usual appearance.

Lao Chen first regained his human form from the light of his incarnation and fell to the ground.

Raise your head, feel the breeze blowing, feel the warm sunshine falling in the sky,

Looking at the city of Wang'an in the distance,

It seems that nothing has changed, and there is no feeling of pollution belonging to the Great Being,

Only feel the calm.

"Has it come?"

"It has come, it has come."

Investigators such as Wu Ma and Ugly Cow also resurfaced from the incarnation,

Investigator Nouma raised his head, looked at the unknown place, and answered Investigator Tatsu's question.

“…… Messages from the monitoring department. The huge meteorite outside the sky may have deviated from the direction because of a small accident. It will be some distance from our world, and we miss. ”

Change has already begun to emerge.

The ugly cow investigator picked up the communicator and looked at it, and said loudly to Lao Chen and Wuma investigators.

"Hmm."

Lao Chen responded, and the afternoon horse investigator nodded, and also looked at the communicator,

"The rain in Kin'an City has stopped."

"Hmm."

……

"The rain seems to be getting lighter......"

On the roof of the building near An, under the tin shed.

There are people who have been looking at the sky, and the first thing they noticed was that the rain didn't seem to be so dense.

There was an old lady next to her with her eyes closed, and she didn't know who she was praying to.

Those who are busy with other things,

People hiding in tents,

I also heard the sound of the rain gradually decreasing, paused the movement in my hand, and turned my head to look out of the tin shed.

Pull the zipper from the tent and look out.

Someone tentatively got up and got into the rain.

The rain had become only a few droplets.

More people came out of the tin huts and out of the tents,

The sky was originally dark and cloudy,

The sky has opened and the clouds have dispersed.

“…… The rain really has to stop! The clouds have also dispersed! ”

"It's not going to rain anymore!"

Someone couldn't help but shout.

……

"Whew...... Whew......"

Holding a hoe, angrily smashing the locusts all over the sky, the old man who was full of insects gasped,

Tear a few more bugs off him and slam them to the ground.

He's a little out of strength,

It's just that he has some doubts again,

And he lifted his head, and lowered his head again, and he saw the locusts in the sky, and the worms all over the earth.

Seems to be a little sparse?

Did it fly away?

He looked at the ground.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

And at this moment, the sky became a little darker again,

It's just that it's no longer a locust that covers the sun.

The raindrops the size of the beans fell with a snap, and suddenly became dense again.

The locusts that flew all over the sky before seemed to have been washed down by the rain, and they also fell with a clatter.

"It's raining?"

"It's finally raining!"

After so many days of dryness, there was finally rain again.

The old man turned his back to the rain pouring from the sky, and burst into tears for a moment.

"Oh my God! You're finally making it rain......"

……

“…… Eh, the wind seems to have stopped? ”

“…… It's like the sun is out, it's not so cold......"

"Did the volcano over there stop and not erupt?"

"It's coming, it's coming...... I saw the rescuers......"

At this moment, countless people shed tears of excitement,

Countless people cheered with joy, and others collapsed on the ground.

Disaster seems to be far away.

The original, peaceful world they were looking forward to is back!

……

"Succeeded......"

The capital of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation.

The darkness and horror of the place faded as the sun shone back on the investigators.

The investigators no longer felt fear growing in their hearts, nor did they feel cluttered with information, or that knowledge was uncontrollably squeezing cognition.

They succeeded and won.

Though it was borrowed from the power of another god, though it was a short-lived victory,

But they still won.

However, this victory also came at a huge cost.

When the darkness faded, the elite investigators could no longer hold on, or their bodies collapsed, or they fell to the ground.

Even if there is no sacrifice, there are some abnormalities in the body uncontrollably.

One by one, the senior investigators recovered from the concept of avatar and fell to the ground.

They have also suffered a lot of trauma, among them, the rabbit investigator who has the ability to speak and spirit is the most serious.

After reappearing in human form, his body has collapsed badly, and his reason is on the verge of collapse.

“…… Ahem, I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the end of this real dream. ”

The reptile reached out to support the rabbit, whose body collapsed and was difficult to stand up.

Mao Rabbit is quite happy at the moment, looking at the bright sky, it is not bad to let her die now.

“…… It's a good time, how can you die. ”

The reptile answered, and then looked a little farther away, at her in the flower garden.

She looked up again to looked down, still looking down at the flowerbed.

The flowers in the garden have withered again,

Even in the beauty of this place, the flowers in the flower garden are still withered.

"yes......"

Mao Rabbit smiled, answered, and did not speak again.

Yinhu next to him, listening to the conversation between the rabbit and the reptile, also looked at her at the edge of the flower garden.

Then he turned his head to look at the elite investigators further away.

"Guys, we paid some price and we succeeded."

"Help restrain the corpses of the comrades who left before us."

Under the words of Investigator Yinhu, there were already investigators who had not yet died, struggling to support their bodies.

For the comrades who were beside him, the sacrificed investigators gathered the collapsed, mutilated bodies.

Most elite investigators are somewhat sad, but not so grief-stricken.

Because they are well aware that they have just changed some of the processes,

And didn't change the ending.

The investigators who died now, their fellow comrades-in-arms, were just one step ahead of them.

Soon, they will catch up.

Yinhu raised his head, looked around, and then looked further away.

A fresh breeze blew from afar, and then farther into the distance.

……

"Sassy ......"

The branches and leaves of the treetops were gently touched by the wind.

"Lao Chen: Mr. Revelation, we succeeded.

Lao Chen: Thank you again for your support. We will spend the last month or so of an orderly and peaceful one.

Revelation: Hmm. ”

On the banks of the Wang'an River, looking at the sky that has been reopened.

Jing Chen has also received a message from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

Turning his head, he looked to the side again, the fate agent who was also on the bank of the Wang'an River.

This fate agent, who probably found a little bit of Old Man Hong's existence because of Jing Chen, also looked in front of him at this moment, with a little smile on his face.

Although the final outcome may be difficult to change,

But it must not be said that the process is meaningless.

Jing Chen glanced at Old Man Hong, then turned around and looked at the street in the distance.

On the streets, after the darkness had faded, there were already a few more pedestrians walking by.

People are always quick to adapt to their environment.

However, good times always seem to pass easily.

……

Although it was clear that there was not much time left, it was in the afternoon.

the capital station of the Bureau of Divergent Investigations, and the other stations of the Bureaus of Investigation,

Basically at the same time, a funeral was held for the elite investigators who died this time.

Most of the elite investigators who died were buried in the cemetery of the capital residence of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations.

A small number of them followed their choice before their deaths and sent them back to the stations of the Alien Bureaus in various regions.

"Salute!"

At this time, every sacrificial investigator who can still find the body has been buried.

If the body could not be found, he buried it with a piece of clothing.

Just in the cemetery of the capital station of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, there are hundreds of more tombstones of elite investigators this time.

On the tombstone, their respective code names and sacrifice time and reason for sacrifice are engraved.

"Seek knowledge. Elite investigators. Sacrifice against fear. ”

"Zhiye, Elite Investigator, Sacrifice ......"

Lao Chen's eyes followed the new and old tombstones, and then shouted.

The investigators saluted solemnly.

"Rite over...... For your comrades-in-arms, wipe down the tombstones. ”

Lao Chen paused again, and then spoke again.

Elite investigators, all who can come.

stepped forward one after another, holding the newly erected tombstones, holding handkerchiefs and sleeves, carefully and silently wiping the tombstones.

The cemetery was silent, except for the wind blowing and the rustling of the tombstones.

……

After eternal sleep and dreams.

Jing Chen left the bank of the Wang'an River once, went to the bun shop outside the community where he lived, and went to it several times.

In the bun shop, there are a lot of people.

Some people are happy, some people are worried, but there was much less uneasiness on everyone's face before.

Many people are saying that the disasters in various places have finally faded.

The two owners of the bun shop are also smiling.

Although the proprietress has a big belly, she also helps from time to time and brings the steamed buns and soy milk that the guests want.

When you meet someone you know, just say a few more words.

"Eh, my mother-in-law's place, it hasn't rained again in the past two days. I didn't rush to death a few days ago, and I called every day, if it wasn't for the lack of traffic, I would have rushed back. ”

"Where is that, did the flood rise before?"

"It's up, can it not go up...... At that time, it was said that it had been flooded over the roof of the house, but now it was said that it had retreated, and my mother-in-law was still thinking about replanting the grain that had been washed away and submerged in the field.

My mother-in-law and I persuaded her, "Let's see, what if it rains again in two days?" ”

"I won't go down again......"

There were two people talking at the table here, and the guests at the next table heard it and interjected.

"I read the news and the weather forecast, and it seems that there is no heavy rain in the places where it rained before. However, in the previous dry place, it finally rained, and the news said that the weather was abnormal. God has finally evened out a little bit of rain to the arid places. ”

"Then how can you say accurately, can the weather forecast be accurate, this has been a natural disaster everywhere before."

"That's right...... But you said that the flood was good, and in my hometown before, it was your mother's cooling, and the temperature was cold, and people and animals could be cold to death. ”

"The rain and flood, you still say you can hide, where to hide when it's cold, it's cold to hide in the house......"

At this moment, several days have passed since the advent of eternal sleep and dreams.

Outside the bun shop, the sky is still sunny in the early morning, the sun has come out, and it will be a good day today.

Inside the bun shop, it was lively, and the disaster that had faded before seemed to no longer give people fear, and it had become a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, when I occasionally talk about some places, I can't help but sigh.

"Sir, you're here......"

Jing Chen walked into the bun shop, found a dining table and sat down,

The others subconsciously didn't come here to share a table with him.

The proprietress who held her stomach and held her waist and brought a plate of steamed buns to a customer noticed Jing Chen,

So he smiled and said hello.

"Hmm,"

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Steamed buns and vegetarian meat, let's have two each."

"The buns come with two meaty, two vegetarian~"

"Okay."

The woman turned and shouted in, and the boss responded again,

Then he hurriedly picked up the steamed buns that were still hot in the steamer drawer, and walked out with a saucer in a few steps.

"Here, your buns. Slow to use. ”

smiled and put the bun in front of Jing Chen's table.

Then he turned around again, and stretched out his hand to carefully support his wife.

"Eh, my aunt, I'll just come by myself, just sit there and rest."

"Who's your aunt!"

The woman rolled her eyes, then walked back along the man's support,

"I sat until my bones stiffened, and I was not allowed to get up and walk."

"You can go, but you just have to move over there. I don't need your help......"

The woman's eyes are white again,

Then the man reached out from the side and took a notebook, opened it and handed it to the woman.

"Look at this, here's what I thought last night, you see which name is appropriate."

The woman took it, looked at it, and then sat down in the chair again,

"Curiosity...... Isn't that a bit too straightforward in the name......"

The woman pointed to the notebook, and discussed the names with the man.

This way

Jing Chen ate the steamed buns that came up, listening to the lively words around him.

After eating the buns, giving the money, I got up and left.

And in the bun shop,

It's still lively,

“…… That is not good for curiosity, what about the other? ”

"Convinced? Feeling, a little silly ......"

“…… There shouldn't be any more rainstorms, right? ”

"I'm not sure, it's getting better here."
