Chapter 25 Life and Dead Branches(1/3)
Can God deal with God?
Currently, there are only three "gods" in the possession of the Abnormality Bureau.
The ‘Lord of Flesh’ who is about to come to Qingming Temple may be the corresponding ‘god’ related to ‘Glutton’.
He is the almost omniscient person within the Abnormality Bureau.
The one in the south of Wang'an City is the 'destiny' who manipulates the threads of fate.
There are some other suspected ones, but they cannot be confirmed.
So besides the Lord of flesh and blood himself, which god can deal with the Lord of flesh and blood?
In other words, how can another god take action against the ‘Lord of Flesh and Blood’ in the Abnormality Bureau?
Also, what is ‘world’ and what does it mean?
Lao Chen raised his head again and looked behind the booth at this special fortune teller.
Jing Chen met Lao Chen's gaze with a calm expression.
He knew Lao Chen's doubts, but he didn't know anything more.
This is the information of the future, and the future Abnormality Bureau will only have this information.
If this was known in advance, the Qingming Temple problem could not be solved by the Idol Bureau... Jing Chen thought of the bloody world.
Just thinking about it like this, the bloody world seemed to emerge from before my eyes again, becoming increasingly clear, and about to submerge the entire world.
Jing Chen closed his eyes and opened them again. Everything in front of him returned to normal.
The breeze is still blowing by the Wang'an River, and the setting sun passes through the tree-lined trees along the river.
Lao Chen looked at Jing Chen. After receiving no further explanation, he slowly turned his head.
He looked at the stall of the 'Fortune Teller' not far away, where there was a long queue.
The 'fortune teller' should be a believer in 'fate'.
What about this, this somewhat special young gentleman, is there another ‘god’ behind him?
Lao Chen turned his head and looked at Jing Chen again. He just glanced at it and then lowered his head again, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
There are expectations and worries.
He hoped that there would be a 'god' behind Jing Chen, hoping to get some respite from the chaos.
I am also worried that this will bring about more unknown changes and more serious crises brought about by more ‘gods’.
"Investigator Chen, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen who lowered his head and asked.
"I still want to know, has the thing from Qingming Temple really arrived? If not, when will it really arrive?"
Lao Chen raised his head again, his eyes calm again.
Due to his experience in dealing with many special events, he was unwilling to take the initiative to mention the name of the 'Lord of Flesh and Blood'.
"Two days later in the evening, what can be seen in Wang'an City will turn into a bloody world."
For this question, Jing Chen didn't even need to peek at the picture of the bloody world again. The pictures of the bloody world he had seen before had already clearly made him feel the time.
Lao Chen felt a little heavy in his heart, but he looked at Jing Chen and remained silent.
After another pause, Lao Chen stood up,
"I wonder what kind of remuneration sir will charge?"
"What are you carrying?"
"There are some sunflowers."
"That's it then."
Lao Chen took out several withered and dried whole sunflowers from his trouser pocket.
This thing grows around a kind of monster. After taking the whole plant, it can maintain sanity to a certain extent, reduce inspiration, and can also be used as a material for some magic potions.
When Lao Chen came out, the doctor from the medical department handed it to him.
Jing Chen reached out and took it, looking at the dried sunflower stems that seemed to be emitting a very weak milky white light that was basically invisible in the sun, which was probably the characteristics of sunflowers.
Then he raised his head and looked at Lao Chen who had already stood up.
"Investigator Chen, don't you ask about your own safety?"
Lao Chen handed the sunflower to Jing Chen and took back his hand. When he heard Jing Chen's words, he paused again.
"I just heard that my colleague told you that you would bleed all over and die."
Lao Chen should have asked about this matter, but he didn't ask from beginning to end.
"...I'm going to die sooner or later, so I might as well die. Maybe it will be easier."
Lao Chen responded loudly, and then looked at Jing Chen,
"Sir, is there any way to save me?"
Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen and said nothing, just focused on watching.
A picture gradually appeared in front of Jing Chen's eyes.
…
"Ho ho..."
This is a scene in the dim night,
Lao Chen was not the only one who fell in the picture, but Lao Chen was the first to fall.
Looking at the mountain peaks in the night light next to it, the place in the picture should be at the foot of Beishan Mountain in Wang'an City.
First, Lao Chen, without any warning, suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground.
Then there were probably other personnel from the Strange Bureau next to Lao Chen,
Their eyes were wide open, and their severely bloodshot eyes seemed to bulge out of their eyes.
Either lying on the stomach, lying down, falling to the ground, or tightly covering the abdomen, mouth, chest, or like a twisted shrimp on a hot iron plate, struggling desperately.
It's just that they couldn't even utter a cry of pain. Their covered mouths were like water pumps that hadn't been turned off, and blood was pouring out crazily.
Blood passed through the gap between the hands of the person who fell on the ground and flowed to the ground.
The skin all over the body under the clothes was like a leaky sieve, bleeding out like crazy.
On the scalp with hair, on the skin of the body, even on the chest, neck, palms, and even the face,
The person who fell to the ground was quickly stained with blood. Even if he struggled desperately, he could not stop his blood from leaving.
Lao Chen is even more serious than others.
Not only was blood oozing out from all over the body quickly, it was like a leaking blood container,
The skin and flesh on his body also tore into deep and wide cracks, turning all the flesh and blood into individual pieces.
His whole body looked like jelly that had been cut open with a knife and stained with a thick layer of blood.
And those individual pieces of flesh and blood are also squirming and twisting,
After struggling for a while, a piece of flesh and blood began to slip off Lao Chen's body easily and mixed with the blood on the ground.
Then...the second piece, the third piece...the bloodshot eyes were finally broken by blood, as if a hole had been broken, and bleeding was pouring out.
Then, the two eyeballs seemed to have a life of their own, jumping for joy and pulling on the nerves behind the eyeballs.
Finally, the nerve was torn off, jumped out of the eye socket, and fell into a pool of blood next to it.
The blood flowing out of Lao Chen's body was also squirming energetically, and something seemed to be coming out of the pool of blood and flesh.
"Ho ho..."
In the end, Lao Chen couldn't even make a vague sound from his mouth and lost all movement.
The flesh and blood was completely integrated into the twisted pool of blood on the ground.
After Lao Chen, other members of the Yi Tiao Bureau also lost their lives.
Throughout this night scene,
A touch of blood spread down from the top of the North Mountain at the same time,
Wherever he went, the mountains and forests turned into flesh and blood, and the whole world turned into blood.
Finally, the blood-colored world spread to the foot of the mountain, joining the blood of the investigators flowing on the ground, and then including the jumping pools of blood and flesh.
Then spread quickly and often outside.
"...If nothing can be done, Investigator Chen and other investigators had better not stay at the foot of Beishan anymore."
"Did I die at the foot of Beishan?"
The scene in front of Jing Chen faded and he said something aloud.
To be continued...
