Main world, Japan.

It has to be said that southern Japan is an unlucky place. Since Ito Cheng came to this world, three major events have occurred: the demon riot, the monster landing incident, and the new virus outbreak.

Among them, for the first time due to lack of preparation, 26% of the population of the southern hell in Japan died from the mouths of monsters, and during the later migration process, another 1% arrived due to various reasons. Two percent of the population died, which directly caused the already sparse population in the south to decrease again, almost reaching the point where the ancient area was vast and populated.

Then, before they could settle down for long, the second monster landing event followed. Fortunately, the government personnel of the Ministry of Environment and the Cabinet were quite active this time, and carried out evacuation and transfer operations in advance, minimizing casualties and preserving a certain base of the southern population.

But this third time, I was no longer so lucky.

Now that the cause of the new disease has not been identified, and most people do not know that they may have been patients, they have almost spread the virus throughout the South without proper isolation, and even With the movement of people, it spread to Japan's main island and the north. So after a concentrated outbreak on one day, southern Japan once again became a chaotic place. And just like what is described in apocalyptic novels, there are crazy people biting people everywhere!

However, if you look at it from another direction, thanks to the vast land and sparsely populated areas of the southern region, the spread of the virus is not as crazy as in other densely populated areas, and it is still within a controllable range. I have to say It's an extremely ironic thing.

As for what has become of those densely populated areas... Take the villages and towns around Shennongjia. Because animal bites have never been taken seriously, the nearby villagers have no idea what is lurking in their bodies. A terrible virus, so it was very straightforward. Large areas of lunatic villages appeared one after another on the territory around Shennongjia. And with the intensification of early treatment personnel, the flow of ignorant villagers, and the running around of infected animals. It spread to the surrounding big cities and turned most of the population in a city into madmen who could only bite people!

And this situation will only become more terrifying as the weather gets hotter and the resurgence of mosquitoes, rats and ants becomes more terrifying. Because insects have always been the main force in spreading diseases!

"Master. Master. It's not good!" accompanied by the sudden gathering of countless spirit son light particles. Reimu, dressed in a red and white miko uniform, appeared in front of Ito Cheng who was meditating, and said anxiously.

"Patients with new diseases suddenly experience a collapse of their genetic structure, body alienation and death."

Little Reimu said. He stretched out his hand and pulled out an optical screen, displaying a set of pictures. On the screen, a piece of broken meat with basically human characteristics appeared on the screen, and it slowly melted like soft gelatin.

"Which incident is this?" Ito Cheng asked with a frown.

"This is the first case so far." Xiao Lingmeng replied, but as soon as she finished speaking, her expression immediately changed, and then she quickly stretched out her hand to connect dots on the virtual screen, and brought up several more surveillance images.

The content in the picture is nothing else, it is all images of the human body suddenly collapsing.

Afterwards, more pictures popped up one after another.

"Bring me the information on these deceased persons." Ito Cheng ordered with an ugly face.

"yes."

As Xiao Lingmeng responded, his eyes glowed red, and then he pulled the edge of the optical screen in front of him with his left hand, pulling it aside as if pulling a real object. At the same time, he waved his right hand in front of him again, recreating several optical screens. , the information of these deceased patients is displayed above.

For a moment, the room Ito Cheng was in seemed like a future technological world, full of strange colors.

Ito Cheng didn't say anything, and while operating on the virtual optical screen, he opened his brain at full speed, browsing the information content on the page at the speed of one glance and ten lines.

Information such as blood type, race, age, gender, time of onset, changes during the process, time of death, etc. quickly poured into Ito Cheng's mind and was classified and sorted by him.

About two minutes later, Ito Cheng narrowed his eyes and vaguely found a similarity in the information of these deceased persons.

"Time..."

"The survival time from the first to the sixth death is twenty-eight days. The survival time from the seventh to the twelfth death is twenty-five days. The thirteenth to the nineteenth death The patient's survival time is twenty days. The survival time of the twentieth to twenty-fourth death patients is twelve days..."

"Reimu, please bring up the list of patients with new diseases admitted to the city hospital on April 1st." Ito ordered.

"yes."

In an instant, more than thirty personnel information appeared on the optical screen.

"Bring up their surveillance footage." Ito Cheng, who casually browsed through the information of these people, ordered again.

"Uh-huh."

Along with the appearance of several new virtual screens, more than thirty small monitoring windows appeared on the screen. On the screen, more than thirty people were all tightly tied to the bed with the restraints used to restrain mental patients. However, they still could not suppress their struggling desires. They were struggling there. If these people were not used for riding, If the legs of the beds of patients with the new type of syndrome are specially fixed, it is entirely possible that they will fall over during their struggle, which shows how powerful these patients are.

Ito Cheng stared at the personnel surveillance screen on the screen without blinking.

One minute……

Two minutes...

three minutes……

More than an hour has passed, and there has been no change in the thirty-some cases on the screen. On the contrary, among the patients who were not under his supervision, more than ten patients developed lesions. die.

"Master." Little Lingmeng called hesitantly.

However, at this moment, the more than thirty patients on the screen were seen struggling for a while, and then their bodies were broken into pieces one after another, mixed with dirty blood, and turned into irregular pieces of meat spread out on the bed.

"Seven days!" Ito Cheng said softly.

"Little Reimu, we will start recording the cases admitted to the hospital on April 2nd. The prescribed time is seven days. If any patient dies earlier, please notify me as soon as possible." Then, Ito Cheng solemnly ordered. .

"Yes." Xiao Lingmeng responded loudly.

"Then what to do with these things?" Then. Xiao Lingmeng asked, pointing to the minced meat on the screen.

"Notify the people at the hospital. Burn it." Ito Cheng ordered without hesitation.

"yes."

"In addition, tell the people at the hospital to assign functional robots to deal with it before completing the indoor air update. Don't let anyone approach the room where the deceased patient appears." After thinking about it. Ito Cheng ordered again.

"yes."

immediately. Little Reimu disappeared together with the virtual optical screens in the room.

"Has the virus evolved? Or has the frequency of jumps increased?" Ito Cheng, who frowned slightly, thought in trance. Then the figure flashed, disappeared from the room, and appeared in the endless black universe the next moment.

Ito Cheng closed his eyes. Expand hyperspace perception and understand the changes in the universe through the frequency of space rules.

"Sure enough, it has accelerated." After a while, Ito Cheng found that compared with the last time, both the frequency of the jumps of the space rules and the dimensional fault barriers had changed. He opened his eyes again and sighed softly.

Then he turned his head sharply and looked sharply into the dark place in the distance.

After staring for about five or six seconds, Ito Cheng slowly withdrew his gaze and disappeared from the universe.

Earth, Japan, Kyoto.

Ito Cheng's figure appeared in the former imperial capital that had been turned into a demon palace.

"The speed of your progress is really shocking." At the same time that Ito Cheng appeared in the back garden of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, a soft and charming voice rang in his ears. .

Although it was not his first time hearing it, Ito Cheng's heart still beat slightly at this moment, which shows the strong influence of this sound.

"Your Excellency's cultivation has also improved very rapidly." Ito Cheng chuckled.

Ito Cheng took two steps forward and turned around at the first corner. She was wearing a black kimono with a pattern of white pear petals printed on the surface. However, the chest area was not well folded like a traditional lady, but instead looked like The ronin of the Edo period usually spread their arms widely, exposing the midline of the chest and abdomen and the edges of the two plump hemispheres directly to the air. Their long hair, as bright as black pearls, was naturally spread. At this time, they were sitting on a table. In the ancient-style pavilion, a beautiful woman with a leisurely posture holding a small sand cup and drinking warm tea - Kyuubi caught Ito Cheng's eyes.

Next to her, there was a man wearing a plain white kimono, with a slender figure and a pale face, just like Yiji's whitened face, with two red eyebrows dotted on it, and a head of black hair combed on top of her head like an ancient lady. , the female ghost demon who formed two symmetrical rings was waiting beside him.

Outside the veranda, there are large groups of peonies and chrysanthemums in full bloom, as well as some other extremely gorgeous flowers, vying for beauty there.

As if he was rushing through the door of a friend's house, Ito Cheng walked straight into the living room where Kyuubi was sitting in a leisurely manner. Then, under the gaze of Kyuubi's scarlet eyes, he sat down, separated from her by a stone. The tables look at each other.

"Ghost girl, give the guest a cup of tea." Kyuubi picked up the small teacup, brought it to his mouth, and ordered softly before drinking.

"Yes." The white-faced woman named Ghost Girl agreed, picked up the teapot with bare hands, and poured some tea into a small cup next to it. Then he put down the teapot and handed the teacup to Ito Cheng.

"Tea, please."

Ito Cheng took the tea cup, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently. Then his eyes lit up, he lowered his head and took a sip.

"Coming from China?" Ito Cheng put down the tea cup and looked up at Kyuubi and asked.

Kyuubi glanced at Ito Cheng indifferently and did not answer. Instead, he asked directly, "What do you want to do here this time?"

"Have you received any news about the new disease that is currently circulating outside?" Ito Cheng's expression calmed down slightly when he heard this, and he turned to look at the clusters of flowers outside the pavilion and whispered.

"I went to the universe to check. Although it's not obvious yet, the space has indeed changed." Without Kyuubi's need to answer, Ito Cheng went on to talk about other things.

Hearing this, Kyuubi's eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze hit Ito Cheng's face.

"So I suspect that this new disease is the precursor of the catastrophe you once told me." Ito Cheng looked back at the deep scarlet color of Kyuubi without blinking, which became more and more fascinating the more he looked at it. Eyes, said softly.

"Tell me your purpose." Kyuubi said quietly.

"I want to know more detailed information about the great calamity." Ito Cheng said in a deep voice.

Next, there was a period of silence that lasted for about five minutes, with neither Kyuubi nor Ito Cheng speaking.

"This time will be a catastrophe." At this time, Jiuwei suddenly sighed quietly and said softly in a floating tone.

Ito Cheng, who was completely shocked by the words "Great Catastrophe", looked at Kyuubi fiercely, with a look of shock in his eyes!

What is the great catastrophe of heaven and earth? As a native Chinese soul, Ito Shigezai learned martial arts and read Taoist scriptures from an old man who was forced to return to secular life during a special period since childhood. After reincarnation, he came into contact with the secret book of cultivation. Almost every time a great catastrophe occurs, whether in heaven or on earth, the number of people will be more than half.

What's more, this word this time comes from the mouth of an ancient powerful man named Jiuwei who has experienced the God-killing Tribulation and somehow escaped from it. The weight represented by the term "Heaven and Earth Tribulation" will only Even more serious, it may even lead to the three major catastrophes of the prehistoric times! Coupled with the information he had collected through various methods before, Ito Cheng now has every reason to believe that if things go wrong this time, the earth may really die!

"Are you sure?" Ito Cheng frowned and asked.

"Believe it or not." Kyuubi sneered.

"Then what's the reason? A catastrophe of heaven and earth will never happen for no reason." Ito Cheng, who was no longer entangled in the authenticity of the catastrophe, asked instead.

"How much do you know about ancient history?" Kyuubi asked.

"Which period?" Ito Cheng asked in surprise.

"Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and Xia."

"Uh... I don't understand." Ito Cheng was stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile.

If you don’t understand, you don’t understand. There’s nothing you can do about it. Who said he wasn’t from that period? Naturally, he doesn’t know what happened in that period except myths and legends. After all, the Three Emperors period alone spans nearly ten thousand years of history. , not to mention the Five Emperors period of more than a thousand years and the Xia Dynasty which was more than 600 years away. Except for those experts who became enlightened during the Three Emperors period, not many people really know the history of this period.

"You can't say that the cause of this great catastrophe was during that period?" Then, Ito Cheng, who came back to his senses, said with a speechless face. (To be continued...)
