Zongman: I have really retired!

"Weird occurrences have become more and more frequent in the past few years. Obviously there weren't so many before."

An auxiliary staff said with emotion.

"Were there few before?"

Xia Youjie asked curiously. Although he had taught himself a lot of spell knowledge about this world, he had not yet had time to understand it in depth.

The auxiliary staff also graduated from a specialized school. He was a little confused and asked: "This...haven't you learned the history of the development of spells?"

"I haven't talked about it yet, I'm a little curious." Xia Youjie lied without blushing or out of breath.

"Okay, let me explain it to you a little bit." The support staff didn't care.

"After 'that' incident, weirdness and weirdness began to appear and replace the cursed spirit. Negative emotions began to gather on objects, alienating... It should be so. Anyway, weirdness and weirdness appeared, and the cursed spirit was purely composed of cursed power. Disappeared.

Originally, with the combined development of technology and mantra system, humans have taken the dominant position, but for some unknown reason, the weird side that was originally weak began to become stronger again. I heard that some areas in Africa have begun to take control. Can't stand it anymore.

In recent years, it has been observed by relevant agencies that the content of mantra in the air has seriously exceeded the standard, and it is very likely that there will be another prosperous age of mantra in five to ten years..."

At this point, the auxiliary staff sighed: "I don't know if it's luck or unlucky. In recent years, there have been more and more weird accidents and they have become stronger and stronger. Except for the war period decades ago, since the founding of the People's Republic of China and peace, there has been a How long has it been since we stopped seeing a few accidents in the past two years and had several strange intrusions a month in the past two years..."

The auxiliary staff looked worried. He was not a combatant. He was only qualified for the post of logistics auxiliary staff because he had magic power and could cast some enchantments that required magic power to be driven.

In the past few years, he had thought of a job with high salary, few risks, and low talent. In recent years, accidents have happened so frequently that he even wanted to run away. He heard that several magicians died in the last mission, and he didn't know that this was the case. What's wrong with the world?

"I've learned this before! Generally, after a change of dynasty, there will be a period of peace for several decades. If we don't take the opportunity to develop and lay a solid foundation, and in a few years after the founding veteran dies and the new generation is unable to take over, it will be easy for another accident to happen. This Isn’t it just the historical cycle rate? It’s the same thing as divine punishment.”

Lin Fei spoke triumphantly again, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Youjie, like a puppy waiting for praise from its owner.

Xia Youjie ignored the complacent Lin Fei and thanked the support staff, and decided to go back and look through the textbook on the history of the development of magic in this world.

He thought that the textbook was about the development history of the country's magic families just like his previous life. He was not interested in reading about the love and hatred between several families. When he was studying in his previous life, he was just trying not to lose in the exam. I learned it with Gojo Satoru’s strength.

"Really, after finally getting rid of the cursed spirit, there are strange and weird stories. Isn't there any way to solve it once and for all? For example, kill all ordinary people or turn ordinary people into magicians or something?"

Xia Youjie was a little distracted and started talking nonsense. He really couldn't understand why there were so many nonsense.

Lin Fei frowned and said hesitantly: "Brother, actually, some people have tried these things you mentioned, but in the end... they were of no use."

Xia Youjie: ...I was just joking casually. I know that this kind of thing is impossible. How could someone actually try it?

Xia Youjie raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, has anyone really tried it? What's the ending?"

"Well... of course someone has tried it. Brother, you haven't read the history of the development of spells at all."

Lin Fei continued smoothly, and then he saw Xia Youjie's face turned dark.

"Um... you must have been too busy recently to read it! It's all my fault! If I were useful, I wouldn't have to take up your time to find information."

Lin Fei smiled awkwardly and felt a little embarrassed. He immediately said, "I'll explore the way for you first!" After saying that, he rushed directly towards the corridor.

Xia Youjie slowly followed Lin Fei. Although Lin Fei was only at level three, he had not completed enough tasks, otherwise he should have been at level three, so Xia Youjie was not worried about him.

He looked up at the barrier that was similar to the 'account' in the previous world, and touched it with some curious power. Suddenly, there was a text message notification on his cell phone, and Xia Youjie lowered his head to take a look.

'What happened? I felt that there were traces of someone touching the barrier. '

'Nothing, just an accident. '

After seeing the reply "ok" from the other party, Xia Youjie put away his phone.

There are many types of barriers in this world, and they are still developing vigorously even though they are not supported by Tianyuan.

Xia Youjie has been studying this thing for the past few days. Things like Qimen Dunjia have been circulating in this country. The barrier is also an independent subject derived from it and formed after the development of human science and technology. Different structures The role in the field is also different. It is one of the required courses for logistics auxiliary personnel, and it is also an elective course for combatants like them.

The barrier in front of Xia Youjie is the most common and commonly used by auxiliary personnel. It can accept specific signal fluctuations and exchange the range of the barrier for the control of the barrier by the caster. As long as there is a large impact of power fluctuations, As a realm giver, you can sense it.

It is precisely because of the widespread application of this kind of enchantment that many accidents that should have occurred have been reduced. After all, if the magician cannot be defeated, he can escape. As long as the fluctuation of the spell power in the enchantment exceeds a certain value, outside personnel will immediately intervene to intervene in the rescue. .

Xia Youjie curled his lips. Compared with the enchantment of this world, the accounts of the previous world were simply rubbish. There had been no progress at all in hundreds of years! It’s not like here where the textbooks have to be updated every few years.

Xia Youjie summoned a haze-like shadow, turned it into a soft cushion and sat on it, planning to wait for Lin Fei to come downstairs.

The increase in the concentration of spell power in the air not only caused more spellcasters to appear, but also made the weirdness more numerous and stronger...

Xia Youjie started to feel dazed again. He had always felt drowsy since the awakening spell. Every time he fell into deep sleep, he seemed to feel something else.

Sometimes it's fragments of his previous life, sometimes it's things from his current life, and occasionally there are memories of whispers ringing in his ears while he was walking alone in the endless darkness.

Xia Youjie also tried to get in touch with those fragments, but the memory of his previous life seemed to repel him, giving Xia Youjie a splitting headache at just the slightest touch.

He could only flip through the pages of those fragments that he had already remembered in his mind to speculate on what happened to him in his previous life. Why...does he even hate himself so much?

Those past fragments are either beautiful memories or painful past events, sometimes scrawled and blurred, sometimes clear and profound, but the desire and hope conveyed deep in his heart remind him of their existence all the time.

------------------

Lin Fei walked lightly to the home of the person who first reported the crime. The seventy-eight-square-meter house was a little empty at this time, showing a dilapidated and miserable look. The furniture was also staggered here and there, and there were a few drunken drinkers scattered on the ground. There was a bottle of spleen wine, and a family photo of a family of three hung on the far wall.

Lin Fei was confused and kicked several bloody and broken factory uniforms aside, not noticing the obvious rodent bite marks on the clothes.

He strode into the kitchen where the accident first occurred, but the strange thing was...

The kitchen, which was usually full of oil and stains, was surprisingly clean except for two corpses lying on the ground.

There were two corpses, one male and one female. They were obviously a couple. The wife had a calm face and a smile that had not yet spread at the corner of her mouth. There were no wounds except for the wound on the chest that killed her. She fell straight on the kitchen walkway. As peaceful as Sleeping Beauty.

The husband was much more miserable than his wife. The murderer should have angrily lifted him over his head against the wall and stabbed him more than a dozen times before he died.

Lin Fei was almost certain that the person who killed them was human and not weird, and...

The obviously overly sumptuous dishes and the clearly cut and plated beef on the washing table told Lin Fei that an acquaintance was responsible for the crime.

Lin Fei frowned. If it was just an ordinary murder case, he would not be notified. The strong fluctuations of curse power in the barrier told him that it must be related to something strange. If it was a curse master who committed the murder, it should be handed over to the administration instead of an underage like him. Students.

Lin Fei just wanted to go out and report to the administration, but after taking out his mobile phone, he realized where this mission came from.

Oh, it was his brother Xia Youjie who took it. So where did Xia Youjie get this task from? It was given to him by his uncle Meng Shuxu. Who is Meng Shuxu, the second in command of the administration...

Lin Fei:......

Ah this...

He made an international friendly gesture towards the sky, rubbish job ruined my youth! ! Sooner or later I have to resign.

He's just a little piece of trash who likes to stay up late to cook and cram for exams. He hasn't even read the textbook on the subject of criminal investigation of magic. How do you tell him to do it! !

Do you want him to stay up all night and stare at the surveillance video of this shabby neighborhood to identify who every person who passes by is? Is he a pervert or a psychopath?

Anyway, Lin Fei's mind is full of two words right now - finished...

Do you think too highly of a high school student who only cares about muscles and stays up late playing games to investigate a curse master who doesn't know who he is? ! Don't let him with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan do work that he can't do even with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan! !

Lin Fei: I should really slap myself to death for happily carrying out my mission in the afternoon.

Although he was breaking down and crying inside, Lin Fei's qualities as a combatant still allowed Lin Fei to instinctively survey the scene.

Although I hate this kind of work, who hasn’t read two novels as a child? Just follow the example, and hope that your rusty brain can be given some strength.

Lin Fei took a general look at the wounds on the corpse. Because he was sure that it was a human being who committed the crime, he did not dare to touch it. After all, after he had dealt with the weirdness here, criminal investigators would come to explore the scene. It was better not to destroy the scene if possible.

Lin Fei carefully looked at a cabinet door, because he judged that the strange things left by the Curse Master should be in this cabinet...

He activated a spell to summon a flame, and the flame burned blazingly in his hand, illuminating the entire room brightly. The setting sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected through the window of the room, intersecting with the flame, forming mottled shadows.

Lin Fei made the first move and threw a flame wrapped in a spell onto the cabinet.

The cabinet door exploded, and a strange face finally appeared in front of Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's eyes widened and his face became pale and weak.

what happened! ! Why are you here! ! How come there are so many! !

Hidden in the darkness are pairs of rodent eyes full of malice—the eyes of mice.

------------------

"Why are you so slow? Is the other party very powerful?"

Xia Youjie looked at Lin Fei, who was pale and in a daze, walking slowly towards him and said suspiciously, "What's going on with you? It's like you've lost your soul."

Lin Fei shook his head, his lips trembled slightly, and he muttered: "Brother, we are in big trouble this time, so we should report it."

Xia Youjie frowned and looked even more worried when he saw Lin Fei's expression: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"What's strange this time...is a rat, and it should be a group of rats with a rat king."

Xia Youjie's expression also changed.

If it is a period when cursed spirits are prevalent, people's fear of creatures like rats will gather to form a specific cursed spirit. If it is uprooted or subdued, then this cursed spirit will not appear again within a certain period of time.

But in this era when cursed spirits are almost extinct and weird things are running rampant, the weird ones that are transformed by the cursed power of rats are indeed not as powerful as the cursed spirits that gather powerful cursed power. They are so weak that even ordinary people can kill them, but their numbers... …But I’m not sure.

Xia Youjie saw in the news a few days ago that a small town in India was sealed off because of the plague, but in fact Meng Shuxu once mentioned to him that the town was not sealed off because of the plague.

It was sealed because of the strange rampage caused by the mutated rats. The Indian authorities even secretly dealt with the town in order to control the situation.

In the world of Xia Youjie's previous life, the cursed spirits born from humans' fear of rats were at least first-level or even special-level.

Each of the weird individuals born in this world may not reach level one, or at most level three or even level four. But what if it is an overwhelming tide of rats that are commanded and systematically attacking humans?

Xia Youjie took a breath: "And the Rat King?!"

Lin Fei said with a sad face: "The highest level of that group of rats is only level four. According to common sense, they should attack me as soon as I enter the door, but they waited until I opened the cabinet door. They just started to attack. And there were no signs of being eaten by rats on the bodies of the dead couple. It should be the Curse Master who controlled the Rat King to make them so obedient."

Xia Youjie also had a headache.

"This is beyond our control. The only good thing is that the Rat King should be in the hands of the Curse Master. We must find a way to find him quickly, otherwise when the rats in Zhucheng become overrun and cause fear to humans, That’s the real big trouble!!”

small theater

Lin Fei (winking): Brother, do you have a crush on Mr. Mu?

Xia Youjie (rolled his eyes): I fell in love with her just by looking at her, so if I look at you every day, do I want to marry you?

Lin Fei (frightened): Forget it, forget it! ! I do not deserve! !

Mu Miaoyin: Why is that guy always staring at me? You don't really like me, do you? Absolutely not! ! I belong to Xiaonuan from the inside out, from top to bottom! !
