It is said that I convince people with reason

What expectations can you have?

...After all, it's the old double standard.

Chapter 95 Wen Hao 13

Three days ago, Tianshui City, Zhenxi Village.

The thick fog covered everything in front of me. The strange fog was still spreading outward at a slow but not negligible speed, swallowing up the nearby wilderness bit by bit.

The abnormal incident just happened. As soon as the Tianshui City Investigation Bureau received the news, all residents within a radius of 20 kilometers, including travelers passing by, were officially notified to evacuate.

At this time, the white fog had swallowed up the three surrounding villages, and the scope was still expanding.

Fortunately, this place is remote, there are not many people nearby, and the order from the Special Affairs Bureau is still timely. The evacuation work is not difficult to do, and the surrounding area will be cleared soon.

Outside the white fog, there is only a cordon drawn by the official, which is constantly retreating as the fog spreads-it is like an invisible transparent barrier, almost covering most of the mountain range.

"...Is it here?!"

A helicopter hovered in the air, and the roar shook the air. Several figures jumped down from the fuselage. With each step, small pieces of floating ice appeared in the air, and several people stepped on the floating ice and landed on the ground.

This is a team of three men and one woman from the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Special Affairs Bureau. The leading woman is tall, with short and neat hair, heroic eyebrows, and every move has a kind of capable and decisive air.

As an experienced first-level investigator, Lu Jing realized the seriousness of the incident as soon as she landed and saw the scene nearby, and her eyebrows couldn't help but frowned. She subconsciously looked at the people who came up from the cordon.

These people are investigators left here by the Tianshui City Special Affairs Bureau. There are two purposes for being here. One is to welcome reinforcements from other places, and the other is to deal with it in time in case ordinary people come nearby and find the situation here to prevent the news from leaking.

Lu Jing didn't waste any words and asked directly: "This is the first time that such a large-scale abnormal incident has occurred. What is the situation in Tianshui City?"

"Not very good... No, it should be said that it is very bad." The voice that responded to her was very depressed and self-deprecating. "Ten hours have passed since the change began. Four groups of investigators have entered the white fog to investigate, but as soon as they entered the fog range, they were completely disconnected from the outside world and all signals disappeared. We still saw the last scene through the bound equipment, and then we knew that everyone fell down as soon as they entered the white fog range."

"... Later, we deliberately transported the bodies of several investigators from the edge of the white fog through the seal, and found that they were not dead, and there were no injuries on their bodies. Their breathing was stable, more like they were asleep, but they could not wake up. By observing brain waves, everyone came to a conclusion that they were probably dreaming and trapped in a dream."

The special affairs bureaus in various places have been established for less than a year, and this is really the first time to deal with such abnormal incidents. In the past, they had a clear goal, but this time, they were at a loss.

How should they deal with the illusory dream? They couldn't even find where the enemy was. As long as they entered the range of the white fog, they would be forced to fall into a deep sleep. So far, they have tried various methods and even called on many seals in the bureau, but nothing worked.

Seeing that the range of the white fog was still slowly expanding, the Tianshui City Special Affairs Bureau could no longer hold on and had to ask for help from others.

Probably because their work was not done well, they had to let other colleagues clean up the mess. These people were very embarrassed and could only tell the intelligence they had gained in the past ten hours one by one.

Lu Jing listened silently, and after confirming that there was no missed information, he waved to the other three members of the team one by one, and turned to go into the white fog.

The others were completely unable to stop her, and she said firmly: "The source of the anomaly is here. What's the point of just staying outside and worrying? To solve the problem, we always have to go inside." She added, "If we don't wake up in the end and can't find other solutions, we can apply to the headquarters to use the only zero-level seal."

The people behind her widened their eyes.

Many people don't know the details about the only zero-level seal. The only thing they know is that this seal has the power of a natural disaster, but once used, it will also pay a terrible price.

The figures of the four people slowly disappeared in the fog.

Never came out again.

In the next three days, investigators sent by other branches of the Special Affairs Bureau arrived one after another, but without exception, they tried every possible way to stop the spread of the white fog, and those who tried to enter the white fog to find clues never came out again.

Three days later, the scope of the white fog had covered the entire wilderness and quickly spread to the nearby county. Some people who didn't have time to evacuate were involved and fell into a deep sleep.

All this development seemed so fast and strange.

There were so many people talking, and someone secretly took some clips and uploaded them to the Internet. Even though they were deleted by the authorities soon afterwards, some rumors gradually spread on the Internet.

- On this day, when Yuan Buwei was slacking off after writing a thousand-word draft, he learned about this abnormal incident that happened three days ago from System 999.

In the group chat of the Special Affairs Bureau of Tianfeng City, this matter has spread. Due to the extremely high level of this abnormal incident, only the first-level investigators knew about it at the beginning, but now the abnormality has not been resolved, the situation has spread, and the Special Affairs Bureau no longer hides it from others.

So, Yuan Buwei, who had just been promoted to the second-level investigator, naturally understood all the causes and consequences.

[Host, are you not angry? ]

There is no authority to stop System 999, the god of the network. Three days ago, Yi could have told Yuan Buwei this news, but Yi didn't care.

Yuan Buwei: "???"

Although he didn't understand what to be angry about, Yuan Buwei would not miss any opportunity to exploit the system. He asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

The young man's face was slightly calm, and his voice was lowered, with a bit of intimidation, as if there was a trend of storms coming.

As expected, System 999 was frightened and said hurriedly: [I didn’t hide it from the host on purpose, but the host has never asked this system to monitor the network at all times and inform the host of such news as soon as possible. ]

Yuan Buwei asked again: “???”

… Just like that? Just for this reason?

He really didn’t ask for this, and he didn’t know why System 999 was so panicked. After all, the occurrence of this abnormal incident had nothing to do with Yi, and those who were caught in the abnormal incident were not Yuan Buwei’s responsibility.

… Could it be that the words “enthusiastic citizen” were pasted on his forehead, so that this system actually thought that any place with a dangerous accident should be notified to him first, and then rush to it as soon as possible?

Although he felt that System 999 seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of him, Yuan Buwei did not explain—would the slave owner miss any opportunity to exploit the slaves? —Instead, he took the opportunity to intimidate the system: “In any case, it was indeed because of your mistake that the whole thing was delayed for three days and spread to this extent…”

System 999: [… Really? 】

Yuan Buwei smiled: "Isn't it?"

Yi quickly changed his words: [Yes, blame me, it's all my fault. 】

Yuan Buwei's lips slowly widened.

Next, System 999 was in a trance, confused, and trembling. He accepted the criticism and brainwashing from the host, and deeply realized his previous slackness. He was determined not to secretly watch animations online anymore, and to work harder to create benefits for the host... It seems that something is wrong? ? ?

System 999 was still doubting Tongsheng, but Yuan Buwei had already set out on the road to Tianshui City alone.

He was very interested in this strange white fog.

·

The floating white fog filled every corner of the field of vision. The surrounding houses, streets, and various buildings gradually became illusory and empty in the fog.

Houses collapsed, strange shadows appeared everywhere, the sky and the earth seemed to be upside down, and the whole world was like a shadow in the lake. Whenever there were slight ripples on the lake, everything would be broken and overlapped like a reflection, distorted and hazy.

Fang Luo ran wildly on the street. ↑This work↑by↑Think↑Tu↑online↑Read↑↑Netizen↑Organized↑Upload↑↑

The whole town seemed empty, and there was no one in sight. In the thick fog that could not be dispersed, something was surging around, and the shadow in the fog was chasing him.

The inexplicable fear was like an invisible stream, spreading from the ankles little by little, and was about to submerge his head.

"Ah——!"

Suddenly, several screams came from the thick fog in the distance.

There was a faint chewing sound, and a strange roar faintly spread from the fog, which made him shudder all over and ran in the opposite direction.

"What happened? What happened? How did things turn out like this?" Such thoughts kept spinning in his mind, and all kinds of question marks filled his head. Until now, he has not completely reacted.

As a newly graduated college student, he made an appointment with a few friends to go on a graduation trip. Because Tianshui City has beautiful scenery and many ancient architectural relics, it was also classified as one of the stops on their trip.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of arriving here, he encountered such an accident. The country homestay where he lived was swallowed by the strange fog that suddenly rose. When he opened his eyes again, his friends had disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding environment was a little more inconsistent.

Obviously, it still looks like the same house, the same street, and the same environment, but there is always a feeling of something wrong reminding him in his heart.

Until Fang Luo looked down and saw his feet - there was no shadow there - and then turned around and looked around, all the buildings had no shadows, but were distorted...

At that moment, he was horrified!

Everything in the thick fog changes at any time, whether it is the houses and streets, or the monsters hidden in the thick fog. Fang Luo had heard a chewing sound and screams before, and saw the blood and long drag marks left on the ground... This scared him very much.

The thing chasing behind him got closer little by little, and a strange roar sounded in the thick fog.

Fang Luo's heart was about to jump out.

... Help! Help! Who will save me? !

It seemed that a hand suddenly patted his shoulder. Fang Luo jumped up with a shudder and turned back to look reflexively: "No, I'm not delicious!"

Then, he was stunned.

In the dense fog, a faint shadow seemed to turn from virtual to real, gradually appearing in the fog.

A dark gray long windbreaker wrapped around a slender and upright figure. Under the slightly messy hair, there was a face with clear outlines and a pair of pure black pupils.

Indistinctly, he seemed to see a vague and terrifying shadow behind the other party, like an unfathomable black hole, swallowing all the light around, and the dark smoke drifted away.

He seemed to be stared at by the abyss.

At this moment, Fang Luo even felt a more suffocating horror than before. So much so that the original fear faded in an instant. It was as if being chased by a dog was a trivial matter in the face of a sudden outbreak of a world-destroying natural disaster.

But this illusion lasted less than a moment. When he looked again, there was clearly nothing. He even couldn't help wondering if he had been trapped in this strange white fog for too long and had mental problems, which led to such a strange hallucination.

Before Fang Luo could think deeply, the young man who suddenly appeared looked him up and down, then raised his lips slightly, revealing a nice and polite arc.
