Latent Syndrome

Chapter 232 231. The remnants of the madman

Walking through the streets where drug addicts and homeless people gathered, we came to the apartment where Colin once lived. He had lived here for more than ten years.

But technically speaking, it was only seven years. He had moved out since college, and although his father had a considerable salary, he had no extra expenses.

Drinking alone can't cost that much money. During that time, he was addicted to gambling and couldn't even support Colin's high tuition.

With Colin's qualifications, he did not meet the criteria for applying for scholarships. He had to do something on the edge of gray, helping his friends sell some excellent "tobacco" to sell to these lonely college students. He brought in a lot of income.

Completely cut off contact with my family.

When he heard the news about his father again, he was already dead.

Although he has lived here for a long time, Colin does not have any nostalgia or feelings. Now it has changed a lot. The grocery store on the first floor has turned into a low-consumption cheap bar, and too many houses have been vacated, and people have gone there. The building is empty.

The two of them sat down in a cheap bar. The waiter in a vest at the counter was a little surprised, because most of the people who came here were frustrated low-class people, and it was rare to see such a well-dressed guy.

Hoshino Manatsu ordered a glass of gin.

And Colin just asked for a Diet Coke.

Hoshino Manatsu was stunned, but didn't say anything. Someone who is almost thirty years old is still pretending to be an elementary school student, right?

"Is there someone chasing you? It's so mysterious."

Hoshino Manatsu was puzzled. Logically speaking, Colin should be treated like a god by the Countermeasures Bureau. He could do anything, but he was wearing a cap that didn't match him at all, and the eye-catching light blue The medical mask looks like the protagonist in some pornographic games.

"For now, not yet."

"Is anyone following you? Or, have you encountered anything strange on the way here?"

Colin was extremely cautious and planned to ask Hoshino Manatsu to deliver supplies to the wilderness where Pim was. Although they were all creatures that were different from ordinary people, there was not even a drop of water for so long. If he didn't solve it, Pim would Maybe it’s time to start surviving in the wilderness.

Hoshino Manatsu thought for a while, but there was nothing worth paying special attention to.

"Um……"

"That's not true, but are there so many perverts in Liberty City?"

"There are a lot of little alleys around here."

"It's really hard to find your place. I walked around in circles."

"In one of the alleys, I saw a somewhat fat man, um... molesting an animated character's pillow in the street."

Hoshino Manatsu's expression froze a bit when he recalled that scene. It couldn't be called disgusting, but he just felt it was quite strange.

"I have no idea."

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

Colin thought about the scene and felt a little ridiculous. He himself also noticed that something was wrong in Liberty City in the past two days, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically. It just seemed that many emotions were amplified, but considering the potential As the disease gradually enters the public eye, the panic caused by it makes people nervous, which is understandable.

The Internet is already full of negative emotions, and now users are becoming more and more bold in their speeches. If a loli lover in the cartoon circle is upgraded to an alchemist in a short period of time, not only that, such upgrades can be seen everywhere, including celebrity fans. Upgraded to a cult, and fishing enthusiasts upgraded to ocean whalers. I don’t know if it’s some kind of trend or something, maybe it’s just words, the upgrade has risen too fast, and it seems to be sinking in its own direction. .

The most bizarre thing is that some mutual aid groups for diseases or intellectual disabilities have become extremely weird.

In the Free Alliance, you are not allowed to comment on other people's personal flaws, even just saying they are fat. That is extremely impolite.

But in the past two days, this association has carried out a wonderful public welfare activity, which is "Boldly Speak of Mental Retardation". This is the theme and slogan of this activity, asking normal people to boldly call themselves mentally retarded.

Because you cannot call someone with a mental retard a retard, just like you cannot call a black person a black person, you can and can only call each other within the same group.

But people with disabilities are beginning to resist this kind of mercy. They want people to speak out about mental retardation boldly and do not need to be pitied. Only in this way can they have dignity.

Colin believed that something more mysterious was involved, but now was not the time to focus on such things.

While the two were talking.

An old tube TV in the bar plays the news.

It is said that there is now a magical organization in various parts of the Freedom Alliance. The official directly defines it as a cult. Most of its members wear standard clothing, shave their heads, advocate random theories, torture, and a series of terrorist actions.

Let the public notify the police immediately after discovering it, and there will be a high reward.

Then a photo was released, of a man in uniform with a shaved head. The dark blue birthmark on his face was extremely eye-catching. Even if it was just a photo, his gloomy and terrifying eyes seemed to contain abyss.

When Colin saw this news, what worried him most happened. Due to Gray's death and the deaths of many members of Section 11, the newly-acquired Section 11 has undergone a major change and may not care about this organization. .

With the defeat of Di Wei, these remnants of the party spread all over the country. Their contagiousness, infectiousness, and destructive power are, in a sense, more terrifying than the latent abyss disease.

Colin couldn't help but guess whether this series of events was related to them.

"Why is your expression so serious?"

"Do you know that person on the news?"

Hoshino Manatsu glanced at it and subconsciously clicked his tongue, this guy didn't look very likable.

Colin shook his head. It was just that look that anyone who had stayed in Los Angeles could recognize at a glance.

"I thought you would reject me."

"I suddenly asked you for help."

"Let you come from other continents, so far away."

"But this is not free, you can set a price."

Although Colin doesn't think there is a problem with her financial situation, no one can resist having more money.

"Money?"

"The end of the world is coming, this kind of thing is no longer important."

"Of course, if you insist on giving it to me, that's not impossible."

"Tell me, what's causing you so much trouble?"

Hoshino Manatsu's only feeling about Colin was that he was extremely reckless and had no plan. When he first met at the celebrity dinner in Beverly Hills, he had completely changed into a different person.

"I want you to deliver some things to me on a regular basis and go to this location."

Colin only told her a mountain and a shelter hut halfway up the mountain.

"That's it?"

Hoshino Manatsu's face was full of questions. Things would never be that simple. Could it be that Colin was harboring some top-secret person?

Colin knew that there was no point in keeping it secret. If he didn't fully inform him, he might make mistakes along the way and be careless.

After listening to Colin's story, Hoshino Manatsu blinked his eyes. He used to just tell a joke, but he didn't expect it to come true now.

You turn the tables while the Countermeasures Bureau picks up the dishes, and you don’t drink the toast from SCT. He no longer wants to hang out on earth.

but……

Today's Colin is no longer the D-level infected person, K. has become famous.
