global pollution

He rubbed his nose, came to the study, and held the Mask of the Faceless Man in his hands.

"I didn't expect to need you so soon."

Chapter 25 Wishing Mirror

When he woke up in the morning, Xia Ren inexplicably started to have a headache again. He opened his eyes and was stunned.

The world in front of me seems to be covered with a layer of haze. This feeling is like suddenly coming to a desolate desert, surrounded by no one, and the sky is shrouded in the afterglow of the falling body, lifeless. Being in it, I can only experience it passively and cannot express it. of fear.

And in the gray sky, a huge human silhouette appeared vaguely, floating with the clouds.

He rubbed his eyes, the hallucination disappeared, the picture in front of him returned to normal, and he was still lying on the bed.

The huge silhouette projected in the distant sky, its floating figure cannot be peeped...

A word just appeared in his mind.

"What do you mean?"

He sat up and repeated it from memory.

Warning, the host has been polluted, the current pollution value is 6/100

"I t..."

Just said a word, why was it somehow polluted, and suddenly changed from two to six?

"No, it may not be the reason for this sentence, but I saw that shadow."

"The floating figure can't be prying...?"

He didn't ask the system what was going on, and according to the principle that the less you know, the longer you can live, he probably wouldn't tell himself.

Moreover, he also had a vague guess as to why he could see hallucinations.

"It seems that the distortion in the brain must be corrected quickly, otherwise, if I do this from time to time, I won't have enough anti-pollution fluid."

In the afternoon when he just came out of the hospital, he saw similar indescribable creatures in the tall buildings in the city, but that time they were tentacles, this time they were shadows.

And since he was bound by the system, he has rarely experienced such hallucinations, and this is the first time today.

It was still daylight outside, so he simply washed up, found a breakfast shop outside, and sat down to eat.

Just after Qixi Festival, discarded flowers can be seen everywhere in the trash cans on the side of the road, and many people have just experienced a fierce sexual struggle. There is an endless stream of people coming out of hotels, and most of them will continue work.

Xia Ren, who was single with mother and child, looked at this scene with envy.

Due to his distracted attention, he didn't realize that a figure had quietly stood behind him.

"Hey!"

A hand patted his shoulder.

Xia Ren bit half of a deep-fried dough stick in his mouth, and turned his head.

"It's really you."

said the man.

Xia Ren was about to run away, but she grabbed her arm.

"I'm not Xia Ren, you're mistaken."

He explained in a panic, but he didn't make a fuss.

"I haven't called your name yet, how do you know that the person I'm looking for is Xia Ren?"

Yu Jingjing had a complex look in her eyes, "You really are not dead."

Countless thoughts popped up in Xia Ren's mind, but he decided to sit down first and take a step at a time, "How do you know I'm not dead? Also, why did you find me here?"

The reason why he wanted to hide himself was that he was afraid of dragging his relatives into danger, but since he was unlucky and was bumped into, there was nothing he could do.

Yu Jing sat on the seat next to him, just grabbed his hand and never let go: "I went to have a barbecue with Gao Le last night, and the old boss said that you went too, I tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep. Go to your house to have a look, pass by here on the way, just in time to see it."

She bit her lip and said, "Can you explain to me what's going on? We clearly watched you cremated. Could it be that the corpse wasn't you?"

"That's a long story."

She must not be allowed to know about the pollution. Xia Ren mumbled the past and said with a serious face: "You must not tell others about this matter, at least not for the time being. Don't ask the specific reason, okay?"

"can."

Yu Jingjing stared into his eyes until Xia Ren's heart was pounding, and then she continued: "It's just that you have to promise me one request."

"You said."

Yu Jingjing didn't say anything immediately, she picked up the soybean milk in front of Xia Ren and drank a couple of sips, then finished the remaining fried dough stick, then wiped her hands and said, "Stay with me for the last day."

"but……"

Xia Ren found traces of the infected body last night, and today he planned to investigate Yu Jingjing and Gao Le one by one...

Wait, is there such a coincidence?

His eyes turned to Jing Jing's face.

Although she is not good at expressing her feelings, but seeing her own reaction, is it too plain?

Xia Ren couldn't see anything wrong with her appearance, but felt a strong sense of disobedience.

"Is the infected body on her body? But why didn't the system remind me?"

There are not many people he cares about, and Yu Jingjing is a very important one of them, and he absolutely cannot tolerate the other party having an accident under his nose.

Xia Ren decided to take advantage of the opportunity to observe her first, and agreed, "Okay."

"By the way, aren't you going to work today?"

he asked.

"Two days off." Yu Jingjing replied.

Xia Ren is sure that she has a problem.

They are very familiar with each other. The work of an embalmer is not as easy as ordinary people imagine. Even the minimum one-day vacation per week in the contract is actually a lot of water, and often after work at night, she will be called back to work overtime. It has been nearly a year since she switched from forensic medicine to this job, and Xia Ren has never seen her take a leave of absence.

If he asked for leave because of the absurd incident last night that seemed absurd to ordinary people, he thought it was unlikely.
