Siren Blade

Chapter 173 Traitor
What happened afterwards was like a grotesque puppet show. The person in charge, Zhu An, and I repeated all the previous conversations in this indirect guest room as if turned into puppets by an invisible force, and then left the reception room , walked to the containment department again.

This time, we never met anyone else along the way, walked through the empty corridors, and then went through the registration and review procedures facing the air in front of the entrance of the containment department.Like an outsider, I watched my body talking and talking for itself, unable to intervene in the situation in front of me with my own will.

I've tried summoning siren blades and mobilizing spiritual powers, but still nothing happens.Even calling the siren in my mind didn't get any response, and there was still a vague feeling in my head that I couldn't think freely.

Soon, we came to the room where the undead were kept.The person in charge walked in the front and held the handle of the iron door, pushed the door open again and entered.And behind the door is the previous reception room.

Compared with before, although the layout of this indirect guest room is basically the same, it looks a bit shabby and dirty.

The person in charge walked into it, stood still, turned his head, and said the previous "line": "To tell you the truth, I don't know where the news came from recently..."

I could only watch myself and Zhu An continue to repeat the words and actions last time like puppets, and then left the reception room again, entered the containment department, walked through the corridor and came to the iron gate at the end.The person in charge opened the iron door again, and the reception room was still behind.Compared to last time, the reception room looked even more dilapidated and dirty, and there were even bloodstains on the floor and furniture.

Apparently, we have encountered a strange phenomenon induced by the "pollution" of the undead.

I should have foreseen it.

I have heard from the person in charge that the undead people housed by the Puqing City Security Bureau have caused pollution, but I still walked towards the room where the undead people were housed without any preparation.It is true that since the Puqing City Security Bureau seems to be still operating normally, it means that the pollution phenomenon is not in a state of outbreak most of the time, but with my vigilance all the time, it is unlikely that I will come over directly like this.

When did my carelessness start?Looking back now, it seems that it started when the person in charge said to Zhu An and me, "I don't know where the news came from recently, saying that some strange things happened inside our security bureau."There seems to be some kind of mysterious power inside the Security Bureau, which directly implants this information of unknown origin into people's minds.This is obviously a supernatural phenomenon that can influence the human mind, and after this information entered my consciousness, I unexpectedly accepted this fact without vigilance, and even took it for granted.This means that even my mind is swayed by that force.

That force is probably part of the current cyclical pollution phenomenon, but the person in charge should have come to the containment department to check on those undead people before, why was he not involved in the pollution phenomenon before, but only now was involved with us enter?Is it because I have the power of the true spirit, which is enough to solve the source of the pollution phenomenon, so it induces some kind of stress response to the pollution phenomenon?However, there seemed to be a few people who disappeared mysteriously due to the investigation of the pollution phenomenon. It is impossible for them to have the power of the true spirit.

I suddenly had a strange realization, I was afraid that no matter how much I reasoned here, it would be useless, because this is not something that pays attention to reason and logic at all.

This is true chaos. Even though it is covered with a seemingly traceable outer shell, the core is still a strange thing that human intelligence is destined to be unable to understand.And such absurd characteristics remind me of "it" as the source of "pollution".

I don't know how many times I went through the cycle, the scenery in my eyes became more and more dilapidated and dirty, even terrifying.The reception room I entered again was completely different, the furniture and the floor were broken, and there were rotten plasma and flesh paste everywhere. The decorative paintings of the characters hanging on the wall also changed from a peaceful and natural expression to a horrible picture of pain and blood and tears.Even Zhu An and the person in charge who were walking around had frightening changes. Their facial features became incomparably disordered in number and arrangement, and their limbs became abnormally anti-jointed. An extremely distorted posture like a monster.

Not only them, but even my body has undergone indescribable distortions, and my thinking is becoming more and more uncontrollable.I felt like I was gradually becoming myself in the cycle, repeating the previous conversation with them wholeheartedly.Having said that, my words and theirs are the same as their appearance, more and more fragmented, even mixed with roars that don't look like human beings.If he insisted on describing the spiritual experience at this time, it would be "dream", a nightmare in which he gradually transformed into a different shape while going deep into the magic realm, and he could never wake up from the nightmare.

The person in charge walked to the iron gate countless times, but this time, after he opened the iron gate, the reception room was no longer behind the gate, but a darkness, a deep darkness that seemed to connect to other terrifying hell dimensions .I deeply feel that if I cross this threshold this time, it will really be beyond redemption.

Vaguely, it seemed that I heard someone calling me eagerly.I stopped involuntarily.The person in charge and Zhu An stopped moving at the same time, turned their heads together, and stared at me with a strange silence.

These two gazes seemed to have magic power, which made me unable to control myself again and continued to move forward.However, the dangerous intuition in my head was ringing like an alarm bell, and finally escalated to the extreme when I was about to cross the threshold, "blasting" through my consciousness like an explosion.I woke up with a jerk and stopped moving again.

The drowsy feeling that has been entangled in my mind since the abnormality occurred seems to have been chiseled with a small hole, and the power of the true spirit seems to flow out of the small hole, allowing me to resist the body's unauthorized actions while resuming Move your palm.I immediately tried to summon the Siren Blade - the power of the true spirit condensed in my hands into a Siren Blade that couldn't even reach the entity and could only be regarded as a phantom.

However, it doesn't matter even if it's a phantom.When I hold it, I feel a sense of strength in my whole body and completely regain the command of my body.

In the next moment, without hesitation, I slammed into the open iron door and released the knife gang with all my strength.

The indigo light suddenly illuminated the surrounding space, and flattened everything in front of it.When the light disappeared, the scene in front of him returned to normal.There is no more putrid blood and slime on the floors and walls, and our bodies are back to normal, as if what happened before was just a hallucination.

The iron gate and the room behind it were all in ruins, and I caught the wave of pollution that was slowly extinguishing.Obviously, there were still some undead people in there, but they were all turned into fly ash by my knife gang just now.

The source of the contamination was eliminated, and my danger instincts were completely subsided.

Zhu An and the person in charge sat down on the ground at the same time, sweating and panting.

"What happened before... before? It seems like I had a terrible nightmare..." Zhu An said with lingering fear.Neither she nor the person in charge seemed to remember what happened before, but they both left a very strong impression of terror.

"What happened just now?" Siren's worried voice rang in my mind, "I saw that you all stopped moving after you walked to the door of this room. I called you desperately, but you didn't respond at all. No, there was a sudden attack."

From Siren's point of view, except for my last attack, we seemed to be just standing in front of the iron gate, and all the previous horrors didn't exist in her view.

Are those all our hallucinations?No, I can feel that those just now must not be just hallucinations, we were really pulled into an inexplicable space.It's just that the sirens were somehow excluded in a logically inexplicable way.I told her about my previous bizarre experience, and she didn't know how to explain the situation either.

The person in charge stood up on his knees. He wiped off his cold sweat, looked at the ruins of the room again, and asked me, "Have you wiped out all those immortal things?"

"Yes." I also let out a long breath. Through this extremely dangerous experience, I have a new understanding of the pollution phenomenon. And, remember to report to the headquarters, there should be a special team responsible for recovering them."

"It seems that the headquarters has already known about the existence of this kind of thing..." He gave me a deep look, "Just in case, I will call someone to come over and do more inspections."

At this time, some warlocks from the Security Bureau heard the deafening noise coming from here and rushed over one after another. The person in charge walked over to explain the situation to them.And Zhu An seemed to be a little exhausted, so I stretched out my hand and pulled her up, leaving here for the time being.

But at this moment, Zhu An made a strange move.

Perhaps because she was too mentally exhausted, she walked beside me, but she was distracted and slowly hugged my arms.

At first, I thought she was walking unsteadily and wanted to use me for support.But even so, her movements were too intimate, almost wanting to stick that slender and soft body to mine.I couldn't help being a little concerned, and I couldn't help but stop after walking for a long time, and turned to look at her beside me.

She looked up, staring at me absent-mindedly.

After two or three seconds, she seemed to wake up suddenly, showing a terrified expression, and kept away from me again and again.

She looked at her hands, and there seemed to be shock, bewilderment, and unspeakable fear on her face.

"What's the matter with you?" I asked immediately.

"No, it's nothing..." Her eyes dodged, as if she wanted to change the subject abruptly, "Speaking of it...you seem to be very familiar with those who will not die."

"I'm not very familiar with it, but I have been in contact with it before." When I answered, I was also surprised by her attitude, and at the same time, I was thinking about the change in her attitude just now.Did she see me as someone else just now?

If so, then who is it that makes her unconsciously make an intimate gesture of embracing her arms?
Some kind of unspeakable speculation flashed in my mind logically.But how is that possible?It is a great insult to her that I speculate on her like this.Besides, I'm nothing more than a perverted murderer, and the chief culprit who killed her husband. Where did I have the face to make such speculations? There is a limit to shamelessness.Thinking of this, I suppressed my unrealistic thinking.

She nodded absent-mindedly, then fell silent.
-
The undead pollution incident by the Puqing City Security Bureau came to an end.

The person in charge was still worried, and he started a thorough investigation of the interior.

In fact, this is the normal way. Most people here have heard the news from nowhere, but no one paid attention to it. No matter how you look at it, they have been invaded at the mental level.And even if you have gotten rid of the influence now, it doesn't mean you can rest assured if you don't worry.

But those things have nothing to do with me and Zhu An now, we will start the formal work next.The undead pollution incident is just an episode. Our real target is the missionaries behind the scenes and the eve forces operating in this city.

We have just gone through such a dangerous incident, so we deserve a rest for the night, but the situation is special, the next thing we have to do is to meet with the informant.

The clue of "the missionary is in Puqing City" was originally provided by this informant, and there was also a plan to contact him in the mission, and the meeting time was also agreed in advance.Because this informant and his clues are not taken seriously by the Security Bureau, the task does not force him to contact him, but I know that the missionary is really in Puqing City, and I know that his clues are genuine.Considering that Zhu An and I have no way to find the missionary, it is best to try to see if we can use this informant as a breakthrough for follow-up actions.

The informant, nicknamed "Loser", was one of the demon warlocks under the missionary, but he chose to betray the missionary and reveal the clues of his superior's whereabouts to the Security Bureau.

Losing Zuo claimed that he had more and more important information, and was willing to help the Security Bureau take down the missionaries. In exchange, he hoped that the Security Bureau could absorb him and make himself a member of it.

However, Demon Warlocks are not to be trusted.Although we need him, we must also guard against him, because he may be falsely betraying.

Considering that Bite Blood is likely to be cooperating with missionaries, maybe as soon as I make contact with Zhu, he will secretly press some signal transmitter to call Bite Blood; it is more likely that Bite Blood has already ambushed It's there, and a magic circle has been set up, to seal my "burning soul mode" again, and deal a decisive blow to me.

The meeting place was in front of an out-of-the-way hardware store, and it didn't take us long to find that place.
