Chapter 22: Becoming Crazy
As always, I drove my sisters to their school in the Greatsword, and then went to school myself.
However, what I didn't expect was that as soon as I arrived at the door of the classroom, before I could step in, I felt a hard punch in the back of my head.
When I looked back, I realized that there was a tall boy behind me.
I know this person, he is Zhao Dahu from the next class, and he is notoriously difficult to mess with. But I have no grievances with him in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, why did he beat me?
Then he threw me to the ground again. Then he picked up a baseball bat and hit me hard.
What are you doing?
My homeroom teacher rushed over and shouted. However, the baseball bat hit him on the head mercilessly. The poor teacher was knocked to the ground with a big bag swollen on his head.
Teacher!
But the teacher didn't move.
Several big boys rushed up, held Zhao Dahu down together, and snatched the baseball bat. Zhao Dahu was still roaring loudly there, like a real tiger. But in the end he was subdued.
However, he is not the only one.
Later I learned that there are several students in the school today, including girls. Suddenly, for unknown reasons, he began to attack the people around him frantically, and also destroyed things. More than one classroom had its glass broken. Several cars parked in front of the school were also killed.
It's not just our schools that have seen similar incidents. In fact, the whole city today is experiencing the phenomenon of people inexplicably starting to attack others.
A couple who were originally in love with me and I suddenly fought in public. The woman scratched the man's face, and the man swollen the woman's eye. Then the man picked up a stool, and the woman picked up a frying pan and threw it at each other.
A heavy truck carrying a large amount of goods, which had been driving well, did not know why, and rushed towards the pedestrians, scaring people into desperately dodging. The truck sped all the way and crashed several cars in a row.
The chef of a restaurant, who was quietly cutting vegetables, suddenly picked up a kitchen knife and rushed out of the kitchen, shouting and waving a kitchen knife to cut the surrounding customers. Frightened, everyone ran out of the hotel. He also rushed into the streets with a kitchen knife.
The strange things that happened one after another made the whole city panic. It also caused a lot of trouble for the police.
There are different opinions as to why these people behaved abnormally. Some people say they may be drunk, some people say they may have taken drugs, some people think that these people may have been mentally stimulated, and some people suspect that they may be suffering from some kind of hidden mental illness...... However, no one can explain why so many people have problems at the same time in a single day.
In the midst of curiosity and apprehension, we ushered in the end of school. I thought the horror was over. Who knows that it is far from it.
When I got home and turned on the TV, the first news I saw was that there was a neighborhood called Happy Neighborhood that had disappeared about an hour ago!
According to eyewitnesses, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind them, so they looked back and found that all the buildings in the happy community had actually moved towards the center under some huge force, and then disappeared without a trace as if they had sunk into the ground.
The whole neighborhood has become a flat land, and there is nothing left. It doesn't matter if it's people, cars, trees, or buildings.
If the first thing made the whole city panic, then the sudden disappearance of the second community made people all overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. No one can think of why such a large community has disappeared out of thin air, and so completely? Without a trace, what if such a thing also befalls him? I don't even know how I disappeared. This is outrageous and ridiculous.
The departments concerned were very busy, but they couldn't find a clue. The entrances of the municipal party committee and municipal government were crowded with people. But no one could figure out what to do.
Now it's time for us to strike, right, brother?
Again, only we can solve this problem.
Midori and Aoi grabbed one of my arms.
I knew it was going to happen.
Soon we came to the place where the neighborhood disappeared. A cordon has now been put up there, and no one is allowed to enter.
But that doesn't stop us. I unfolded the realm, and everything around me became virtual. The police were all motionless. We took the opportunity to climb over the cordon and get there.
Sure enough, everything was gone.
Who the hell is this? Little Red looked around at the flat land.
I know it's not a monster. Because monsters only destroy, they will leave wreckage.
There's quirkiness there.
Orange scanned it with clairvoyance, then pointed to a depression.
Xiao Huang ran over and threw a punch at the ground, so the ground was smashed, revealing a huge black hole that was bottomless. No one knows exactly how deep.
Let's go, brother!
One by one, my sisters jumped into the black hole. I was also forcibly pulled down.
The air swept past my ears, and I felt myself weightless. The blood almost clotted, and the heart was noticeably faster. I knew I wouldn't be in danger with my sisters, but I was nervous. It kept falling, and I don't know how long it took to finally stop.
I'm afraid it's already hundreds of meters deep.
Out of nowhere, Midori got a wooden stick and lit it with flames to make a torch to light up the surroundings.
We are now in a wide, dark tunnel. The tunnel is enough for a monster to crawl lightly.
The soil here is fresh, not like it has been stored for a long time, but more like it has been excavated recently. Xiaolan grabbed a handful of dirt in her hand.
However, with the current strength of human beings, it is almost impossible to dig such a tunnel in such a short time. Xiaohong said.
So, what if it's a monster? Don't forget, there's another monster.
Of course I remember. The one that took the monster that came out of the purple gourd, the flying monster. It is still unknown where it went.
But that guy doesn't look like he's good for digging tunnels. Xiao Huang thought about it, but still expressed some doubts.
Well, let's go down the tunnel and see what we encounter. Red pointed ahead.
My sisters and I rushed forward together. Of course I was dragged by them......
After advancing about a kilometer, they suddenly stopped.
How?
I saw that there were two forks in the road ahead.
Which way to go?
Right. Red pointed to the fork in the road on the right.
Left. Xiao Lu sang the opposite.
Don't argue, let's take a look with my clairvoyance. Let's start with the one on the left.
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he began to look into the tunnel on the left with his clairvoyance.
Hey, there's a fork in the road ahead. The fork in the road will be divided into forks in the road. The same goes for the right side.
I said let's go to the left.
Right!
I seem to hear something coming out.
Orange used her clairvoyance again to look over where she heard the sound in front of her.
Monster. I saw a monster!
What the?
Monster! underground! This tunnel was dug by it. It's still digging up!
Sure enough, it's a monster that's messing around. That's good, let's go clean it up!
Red is about to enter the tunnel on the left.
I think it's the right. Midori said stubbornly.
Okay, don't fight. Little orange, in which direction?
Over there.
Okay, look at me.
Yellow leaped up like a cannonball. Her body pierced directly through the hard earth, opening up a new passage out of thin air. Of course, she can only be allowed to go through it alone.
Wait a minute!
My sisters, one after the other, climbed in and widened the tunnel. I followed suit.
I have to say that my sisters are still very fast when they join hands to dig the land. In about a few minutes, I advanced more than ten kilometers lightly.
It's getting closer. It's just ahead.
Little Orange commands everyone to keep moving forward.
Finally we dug through. Entered a huge underground cavern. The area is estimated to be several hectares.
Roar -
Suddenly there was a roar in the darkness. Midori hurriedly spewed out flames to light up the surroundings. That's when we saw a huge monster in front of us.
Unlike other monsters that walk on two legs. This monster is lying on the ground, crawling on four legs. It has a pointed nose, a bit like a drill, and the claw shape is also great for digging in the ground. Its eyes are small compared to other monsters. Probably because it is originally suitable for living underneath, the eyes have deteriorated. It appears to have a large lump on its back.
This monster ...... Why hasn't it been reported before?
Probably because it appeared in a sparsely populated place. Do you remember the monster that tried to destroy the Three Gorges Dam?
Of course I remember the monster (named "Emperor Wu"). It appeared in the northeast and traveled a long, long way to the Yangtze River in order to destroy the Three Gorges Dam.
What are you talking about? Xiaolan was a little puzzled.
By the way, you weren't born when "Emperor Wu" appeared.
The location where the monster appears is highly random. No one knows where they will appear. Therefore, if this monster had appeared in a sparsely populated area and immediately burrowed into the ground, no one would have noticed its existence.
I see.
Let's teach this hateful creature a lesson! After Xiao Huang finished speaking, he was about to go up and fight the monster.
But Midori stopped her.
Yellow, let me have fun too.
Well, over to you!
Xiao Huang retreated.
Brother, everyone stand back and see what I'm capable of!
The monster was still there with its teeth and claws. Midori took a deep breath, and the flames spewed towards the monster.
Flames suddenly ignited on its huge body.
The monster writhed its massive body and let out a roar. Apparently the flames caused it a strong burning sensation. It shook its head, trying to get rid of the flames.
Midori spewed a burst of flames, then inhaled air again and started a second breath.
It seems to be provoked. After several successive hits of flames, the monster suddenly turned around and faced Midori, and then quickly crawled over.
Get out of the way!
But my worries seem unfounded. Midori dodged the powerful impact and circled behind the monster, continuing to breathe fire.
The big lump on the monster's back suddenly moved.
Then the flame that Xiao Midori had just spit out suddenly disappeared inexplicably.
What's going on?
Midori continued to spit fire, but it was still gone.
Wrong. That's not a big lump. It's-
I finally saw that it was the monster that came out of the purple gourd, and I didn't expect it to be here. It was lying on the back of the digging monster, clutching the behemoth on its delicate limbs. In one hand, he was still holding the purple gourd tightly.
At the same time that I saw the monster clearly, a great attraction also came to me. I felt my feet suddenly off the ground. The same happened to all my sisters. We were all sucked up.
The surrounding scenery seems to be getting bigger.
No, it's us getting smaller. We're going to be absorbed into the purple gourd.
Help.
Let go of us-
Brother-
Resisting, struggling, but no matter how desperate we try, it still can't help. In the end, we all fell into the purple gourd.
All around was an endless expanse of orange-red, and the temperature was so high that I felt a burning sensation in my skin. Breathing becomes difficult, the body is heavy, and there is a feeling of drowsiness.
Is this the inside of the purple gourd?
Help--life-
Suddenly, I heard a feeble shout.
Just ahead, buildings are lying in all directions. There was also a large group of people in front of the building. But most of them collapsed to the ground with weakness. Only a few people were still barely calling for help.
This is...... The neighborhood that disappeared, the happy community?
It dawned on me. Why do so many people suddenly go crazy, why does a community suddenly disappear inexplicably? It turned out that it was all this monster playing tricks. At some point, it hid here with another monster.
Someone's coming.
Please, will you get us out?
I said, "Actually, we can't protect ourselves."
How long has it been since you entered this gourd?, Xiaolan asked the residents who were still awake.
It's about an hour and a half.
It's been so long, and once you're in this gourd, everything will melt away after a while.
Three moments. At the current time, that's two hours and fifteen minutes. That is, in the past forty-five minutes, these people will all die?
What is going to happen now? My sisters and I are starting to get scared and overwhelmed.
By the way, there are also fields. The field expands!
It's useless. The expansion of the field does not change the fact that they are still in the field.
The only thing we can do is to break this gourd, no matter what the cost.
