Pollution throughout the territory

The Mercedes-Benz that Xia Rengang was carrying was temporarily impounded by the superintendent. In order to avoid further trouble, Liu Xiuxiu called the logistics department. The bald man came and picked them up in an SUV.

Huang Qiuyuan showed his familiar temperament again and naturally followed Xia Ren and others into the car, and the latter did not stop them.

Normally, Xia Ren should be angry when meeting a government official who doesn't take human life seriously, but for some reason, maybe his mentality has changed after experiencing many lives and deaths, and he has become accustomed to this kind of situation.

And according to the description of the police chief, two of the cases were caused by the taxi driver, Shen Hua, who became a second-category infectious agent, and Wugenzhi Shui. Even if the people from the police station dug through the ground, they would still be injured. It was impossible to find the murderer.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be an expert in criminal investigation."

Liu Xiuxiu sighed in the car as if she had realized it later.

"It's not easy to get this title."

Huang Qiuyuan opened the thermos cup, took a sip of ice-cold Coke, and continued: "This is a title I earned after handling thousands of cases, large and small, and all of them were successfully concluded."

"Amazing!"

Although she didn't know how powerful it was, Liu Xiuxiu still looked amazed.

"I'll take the liberty of asking."

Xia Ren then said very presumptuously: "Are all of your thousands of cases ended with suicide?"

This sentence sounded like sarcasm, but Huang Qiuyuan didn't care: "Suicide is the most perfect plan."

"But what if the deceased doesn't agree?" Xia Ren's words were a bit tit-for-tat.

Huang Qiuyuan closed the thermos cup, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone alive has a name. Once they die, they are all corpses, a pile of meat without any consciousness. No one will ask Whether the ground under your feet hurts or not, no one will ask the same question to a corpse, so what does it matter? It is better than arresting someone to confess. When I was very young, I was thinking, how good would it be if life were simpler? . In fact, as long as you don’t think about the problems after your death, living will be much easier.”

These words were tantamount to a disguised admission that he deliberately committed suicide.

Xia Ren understood, but didn't care. His purpose was just to test whether the other party knew about the infected body.

Liu Xiuxiu looked unclear and serious. It is estimated that both his parents worked in the foundation, and he had been influenced since childhood, so his outlook on things was a bit different from ordinary people.

"There's a taxi following us."

Qin Yun said.

She is the most relaxed person now. The only people who can see her are Xia Ren and Liu Xiuxiu who wears glasses, so she doesn't have to worry about so many problems.

Without waiting for Xia Ren to remind him, the driver had already noticed it and easily shook him off. Xia Ren didn't take it to heart.

When he arrived at the bank, he used Sima Gangdan's ID card to apply for a bank card, transferred all the money in Qin Yun's account, and then took back the Mercedes-Benz. Liu Xiuxiu asked the logistics department to leave, and followed Xia Ren and the others, planning to go home.

When passing a large shopping mall, Liu Xiuxiu said she was going to buy something, but she came back with a lot of daily necessities.

"Aren't you going back?" Xia Ren asked as he looked at the several bags of things he had brought back.

Liu Xiuxiu had said before that the purpose of his coming was for Rootless Water, which was just like a business trip. Now that the problem has been solved, it stands to reason that he should go back.

"fund……"

When Liu Xiuxiu was talking, she saw Huang Qiuyuan beside her and quickly changed her words: "I can't leave for the time being."

In fact, he wanted to leave at first. After all, who wants to be neighbors with two infected people? The danger was too great, but the Foundation rejected his request to return last night and instead turned him into a local resident, tasked with handling possible incidents in Jupiter City and surrounding areas.

This "possible" statement is more general. Liu Xiuxiu is not a brainless person. He estimates that this is definitely related to Xia Ren.

In other words, the Foundation tied him and Xia Ren together.

Xia Ren finally understood why his attitude towards him had changed so much today.

From now on, he will be his "Old Wang next door", and he may not even think about it until he looks up and looks down.

Huang Qiuyuan was just a hitchhiker. He was still some distance away from the community, so he got off the car. He said he wanted to go to a nearby park and bask in the sun. He held a thermos cup in his hand, and he looked like he was taking care of himself.

Xia Ren and the other three were left to go home. Liu Xiuxiu had bought a bunch of vegetables and wanted to learn to cook by herself.

When he said this, he clenched his fists and looked like he was swearing. However, within half an hour, he still knocked on the door of Xia Ren's house.

"I'll learn from Sister Qin!"

He said with a somewhat heated face.

After dinner, Xia Ren returned to the study, but not for coding.

He hasn't updated for three days, three days!

The comment area was full of questions at first, but later they all scolded the eunuchs for wasting their investment quota.

Looking at these comments, Xia Ren felt very guilty.

Then he decisively shut down the computer, and his uneasiness about the interruption disappeared immediately.

The tragic doll has not been able to find a way to contain it, which is what he is most worried about at the moment, because it may mean that he will face an unexpected tragedy at any time, just like the last time he crashed into Zhu Youqian's truck, but after all Xia Ren still has no idea how to make it recognize him. After playing with it for a while, he could only put it back on the bookshelf.

It's impossible to take out the old seal and touch it. The nausea feeling I felt in the morning is still a bit nauseating now when I think about it.

He exchanged this old seal for his sister Xia Qiudong, and he had to find a way to hand it over to the other party later.

The crowbar can be upgraded, but it only requires 500 points. Anyway, I haven't fought with the infected recently, so this aspect is not that urgent, so I put it aside.

He flipped through the system store and focused on an item.

Dark candle.

Redemption requires 200 achievement points or an ancient dream fragment.

This is a new item that was unlocked due to the increased system integration after his fight with the apostle Liu Fusheng. Because there were no ancient dream fragments, he had never bothered with it before.

After taking in the Rootless Water, he was rewarded with a piece, and he finally had the opportunity to understand what the ancient dream fragment was.

It must not be simple to obtain an item that takes so much effort.

【Redeem? 】

【yes! 】

Suddenly, a green candle appeared in his hand. It was about a foot long, about the thickness of an index finger, and had a smooth body. It had a round base underneath. Except for the strange color, it looked no different from the ordinary candles bought outside.

[Note that after using the Dark Candle, you will have a chance to glimpse the appearance of the old ruler in the ancient dream and obtain controllable distortion. The distortion ability varies according to the old god.

Interruption of the burning of the underworld candle will cause the host to escape from the dream. Please ensure that the surrounding environment is always quiet.

Note that premature death of the host will also result in leaving the dream.

Burn the Hades Candle? 】

Xia Ren did not confirm immediately, but went outside the house and told Qin Yun not to disturb him unless the sky fell, and not to let others disturb him. Then he returned to the study and locked the door.

After all, he finally got an ancient dream fragment. If it was wasted, he would be heartbroken.

Placing Mingzhu on the desk in front of him, Xia Ren rubbed his hands.

【confirm! 】

"Bah!"

A pale green flame burned from the top of the underworld candle, illuminating the room, and the atmosphere began to become a little scary.

Without any guidance from the system, Xia Ren couldn't help but move his gaze to the candlelight, staring closely at the small cluster of flames.

Soon, the surrounding vision began to darken, and his mind began to become dim, and sleepiness came over him.

Darkness is coming.

…

…

"Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao! Wake up! Wake up quickly!"

Someone is pushing themselves, and it’s so cold!

Xia Ren opened his eyes in a daze and found that he seemed to be in a car. He turned around and saw that the person pushing him next to him was a woman in her thirties.

"Great, I thought you were freezing to death!"

This is what I said...

Xia Ren moved his buttocks and felt stiff all over.

It was more cold, and he felt like his body was frozen.

"where is this?"

he asked.

The voice was full of magnetism, and my throat felt like it was not my own.

The woman frowned: "You can't remember clearly? We are in the Wuji Icefield now!"
