137 All destroyed
When we entered the mirage, we saw scenes like wasteland movies.
The buildings lining the city are littered with signs of destruction, the streets are littered with deterioration, dried black blood and the remains of long-rotten human bones, and a large number of abandoned and ruined vehicles are littered on the roads. There seems to have been a horrific massacre of unimaginable scale in the city, and just looking at this horrific scene can give you some glimpse into the tip of the iceberg when the nightmare happened. I imagined it based on the traces of the scene and what happened to me before.
When the nightmare happened, something terrifying that people couldn't understand must have appeared in front of them. Those things that should only appear in horror movies, or just in the weird delusions that inadvertently appear when walking at night, now appear in the streets in the sun, roaring, biting, and devouring people's flesh with impunity.
There must be a lot of them, and none of them can be resisted by man. People became panicked and tried to flee from the nightmare, and there were screams in the streets, bloodshed, stampede, despair, death, and maybe some ugly and dark things. Some people even panicked and drove into a shop on the side of the road, and the wreckage of the vehicle and the shop was silently recounting the picture.
It's not just this street. We slowly delved deeper into the mirage, and wherever we moved, we saw the same scene. The whole city was reduced to a ghost town, and I didn't feel the slightest bit of life, just death and silence, and the ubiquitous mist.
In the midst of the boundless, suffocating shock of the ocean in the middle of the night, I came to the conclusion that the mirage was destroyed. Destroyed by this fog, by the many demons in the fog.
How could this be. I was tempted to refute myself. Because, even if it is genuine, the Fog Demon in its heyday can only cover and destroy a small town, and this is a city. It's not one-dimensional at all.
"Here, is this really a mirage?" Xiaojing couldn't accept the reality of asking.
"It seems that an extremely large number of demons have appeared in the mirage and have carried out a lot of killing...... It's not unheard of in history, but I thought it would only happen in war-torn countries, or in the old days......" said Glabria in shock, looking at her compass and the street in front of her repeatedly.
From the moment she started, her guidance on the way forward had not been so smooth, and it seemed that she had encountered some obstacles.
Then, as if she had noticed something, "Is there something wrong with these wreckage?" β
"Judging from the decomposition of the corpse and the traces of blood, it should have been about half a year since the incident." I've noticed this issue as well.
"The mirage market was destroyed half a year ago?" Xiaojing was stunned, "How is it possible, I also watched on the Internet before I set off, if there are any new interesting places in the mirage market in recent years, and I also watched some videos uploaded by locals yesterday." Wait, do you mean ......?"
She probably thought of a possibility based on some fantasy stories she had seen before, "Isn't this a real mirage?" In fact, it is a place shaped by this fog, like some kind of illusion, and the real mirage has not been destroyed? β
"I can't deny the possibility." I can't get enough of this optimistic idea, because there is another not-so-good thought in my mind.
She dared to approach the big blue truck on the side of the road, as if to wonder if it was the real thing. But just then, a demon in a black metal carapace jumped onto the roof of the truck from the other side and attacked her. And just as the demon was about to cut off her head, the sword I launched into shattered it in the air.
It all happened in the midst of lightning and fire, and she looked at the demonic remains on the ground, and after two seconds of dullness, she let out a cry of horror before she quickly returned to my side. Immediately afterward, two demons as big as oxen came around from both sides of the truck and attacked us, but I still concocted and killed them on the spot.
We had only encountered one demon when we were walking through the fog, but here we encountered three demons at the same time. Obviously, the fog has become thinner, but the demons have increased.
I asked Joe Licorice, "The fog here has become very thin, will it have a negative impact on our next activities?" β
"The impact has become very low. It's obviously the depths of the fog, but the fog is so thin. She glanced at her compass, "Since we've entered the city, time and space haven't been as confusing as they used to be. Even Xiaojing shouldn't get lost here. β
"The fog in the city is light, but the outside of the city is so thick, which means that the function of this fog is probably to prevent people from fleeing outside. Even if this is not the only purpose, at least it has this purpose. If the people inside escape to the periphery, they will immediately fall into disorientation, and will no longer be able to perceive normal time and space. I said, "Well, is that how it can be understood?" While we were being swept into the fog, a large number of demons began to slaughter the mirage. However, since we were on the periphery of time chaos at the time, and the speed of time in the city was not in sync, when we came, half a year had passed in the city. β
She thought for a moment, then nodded, "That makes sense. β
Although it was my own speculation first, I still picked a bone, "However, Xiao Jing aside, there shouldn't be any confusion between me and you, why are you so staggered from the city?" β
"When we judge whether our time perception is chaotic, we use the time outside as a benchmark, and if we use the time in the city as a benchmark, then our time perception is relatively chaotic. After all, we haven't been in the city before, so how do we know the time in the city? "It's still mild." Because I and you are both more perceptive, and I haven't completely fallen into the point where I can't tell the time, it's only been half a year since I staggered. If Xiaojing hadn't followed us and had entered the city alone, he might have fallen into a strange passage of time. β
"Huh?" Xiaojing was stunned.
"What are you going to do next? I am your entourage, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go. Joe Licorice looked at me.
"Can you still continue to figure out where the clues to get out of the fog are?" I asked.
She shook her head, "I can't do it anymore, the person who set up this fog is very powerful." I can only know that the clue is in the mirage, but I don't know where it is in the mirage. β
I looked at the empty ruined streets and weighed them in my mind. The scale of this incident is far beyond what I can handle. I really wanted to contact the Lievain, to contact the outside security bureau, but I couldn't get the signal out.
But speaking of the Security Bureau, what has become of the Security Bureau of the mirage? What role did they play in this catastrophe? The ordinary citizens of the mirage are powerless to resist the disaster, but the security bureau warlocks always have a way. Perhaps somewhere in the mirage, there are still a lot of warlocks from the Security Bureau who are making some kind of effort, and even sheltering a certain number of survivor citizens.
We are still in a situation where we are blinded by two eyes. To be on the safe side, I would like to join up with the Security Service forces first and get more information and help from them.
I spoke my opinion, and Joe Licorice agreed.
There's just one problem, I don't know where the Mirage Security Bureau is going. Although I have learned about the address, but now the mobile phone cannot be connected to the network, and the map software cannot be used. I wouldn't be able to read the map even if you showed it to me, and I don't even have a map in my hand right now. Luckily, Joe Licorice had a better idea than I did, and she found a map of the city in her car on the side of the road. Seeing this scene, I realized that although it is the era of electronic maps, there are still many drivers who put paper maps in their cars. I still lack common sense in this area, and I have to rely on her in some places.
Soon, she locked on the location of the Security Service on the map. We started moving.
On the way, some more demons attacked us. And the deeper you go into the city, the more frequent the demonic attacks become, and even five or six waves of attacks in a row on the same street. Although there are reasons why we don't pay much attention to concealment, the level of danger is far beyond what is allowed for ordinary people to move outside.
If I were a survivor who survived by hiding at home in the early days of a disaster, I would not have been able to sneak out and collect survival supplies in such harsh conditions. And demons are also aware, and the hiding of ordinary people is simply nothing. If you hold your breath and hide in a fixed place, you will be completely self-defeating to run outside. It is the kind of person like Joan who is naturally perceptive that can bypass the edge of demonic perception.
All the demons that attacked me were killed by me, and Xiao Jing was no longer startled, as if he was counting the ruins again, and he regained his habit of my protection.
An hour later, we arrived at the Mirage Security Bureau.
However, it turned out to be a big disappointment, the Mirage Security Bureau was empty, and there were signs of destruction everywhere. Not only that, but the destruction was even more complete, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was bombed by missiles. Most of the building had collapsed, and the rest of the place that could be accessed was rubble, and there were more corpses on the ground than could be counted in the uniforms of the Security Bureau, as if they had experienced an extremely fierce massacre.
The Mirage Security Bureau is all gone.
Even though I can't tell if there are any other survivors who have been left behind, I can't help but think about it. The stronghold had been so destroyed, and the members had suffered so many casualties that even if a few survived, they would certainly not be able to perform their proper functions as a city's security bureau. I never tried to imagine that the security bureau in one city would be like this.
I suppressed my shock and took a closer look around me. Judging from the traces of these destructions, although I don't want to admit it, it seems that there is only one person who destroyed the Mirage Property Security Bureau.
Yes, someone single-handedly destroyed the Security Service here.
This is no longer something that the main class can do.
Although the Mirage Market Security Bureau lost its only main level "sentence weight" a week ago in the outside world, it still has a way to repel other main levels under the premise of being fully prepared. The original saber tooth was to gather other law enforcement warlocks from the Tianhe City Security Bureau to repel Wei Chi. And even if it was suddenly attacked by other main warlocks, the security bureau of a city would not be slaughtered so one-sidedly. After all, the security bureaus in various places have plans for various situations, and such a thing as "suddenly being attacked by the main force from outside" is part of the regular exercise.
But what if the attacker is not the main force, but the super-main class?
I thought of biting blood, maybe the attacker was herβand when I revisited the traces of destruction with this presupposition, I suddenly felt something different. Although the traces of these destruction were so violent, and completely different from the skillful and delicate biting of blood that I remembered, I still had an unknown awareness, which made me inexplicably believe that this was the "claw marks" left by the bite of blood.
At this time, I saw a strange male corpse next to a broken wall.
The body did not decompose, and fell to the ground as if it had just died, with two fatal penetrating wounds to the temple and heart. I checked it out a little. From this corpse, I caught some faint spirituality. There seems to be some kind of spell set up on it, but it doesn't feel dangerous.
Qiao Licorice also came to check it out, and then hesitated and said, "This seems to be ...... Necromancy? This corpse is set up with a trigger-type necromancy? β
As soon as Xiao Jing heard the word "necromancy", he seemed to think of something unpleasant, "Will this corpse suddenly jump up and bite someone?" β
To be honest, my first reaction was this.
"No, not that kind of necromancy." Qiao Licorice shook his head and continued to check, "I'll see what the trigger is......"
I asked curiously, "Do you even know necromancy?" β
He can explore knowledge in different dimensions, and he can do necromancy, this psychoanalyst is too versatile.
"No, I haven't studied necromancy. However, this necromancy was deliberately set up to be easy for people to understand, and it was set up for himself before he died. I guess I want to send a message. Qiao Licorice said as he took out his work ID, "The trigger condition should be the spirituality of the Security Bureau's work ID, I'll try it." β
She pasted her work ID to the corpse's head like a zombie.
Two seconds later, the corpse removed the work papers from his head and sat up from the floor.
"You must be a warlock from the Security Bureau, are you here to investigate the cause of the destruction of the Mirage Security Bureau? I'm a member of the investigation team at headquarters, and I'm sorry that I was in a hurry to set up a necromancy for myself before I died, so I can only give very limited answers. The corpse said, "If you have any questions, ask them quickly." β
