Pollution throughout the territory

He looks like a giant rat, but is as tall as a mountain.

He has no limbs, and his whole body is erect, half squatting and half standing.

Compared with other old rulers that Xia Ren had seen, the appearance of the old god in front of him was obviously much easier to accept, but that was only in comparison.

Reason is still struggling, like a huge boulder pressing on the thin ice, giving people the feeling that it will collapse in the next second.

Terrifying hallucinations appeared in his mind, including wormholes, time and space, gravity, energy, insanely gorgeous voids, and unpredictable rules of the universe. In the form of pictures or concepts, a torrent washed away his sanity.

If you want to try to understand the old gods, you must first accept these forbidden knowledge that ordinary people cannot bear.

After climbing over this celestial barrier, one barely has the qualifications to face the old gods.

Xia Ren gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his figure was almost in disarray.

If his consciousness collapsed in this distant space, his body in reality would become a walking corpse, with no room for salvation.

But, I couldn't hold on any longer.

After being tortured by the fungus for dozens of hours, Xia Ren came all the way and had a fierce battle with the priest. Later, he narrowly survived the explosion of the nuclear bomb. He was already exhausted physically and mentally and had reached his limit.

"I can't die here."

His consciousness was blurred, and the figure in front of him became the biggest terror in the world, threatening to burst his sanity.

"No...you have to find a reason to persist."

In the strong wind, reason is like a small flame that may be extinguished at any time.

At the last moment, Xia Ren was extremely calm.

Everything from the past appears before my eyes.

He recalled the sister who pretended to be strong in front of outsiders, but she didn't even want to wash her clothes at home. She was slovenly and would often look at him distracted and then smile like a fool;

There is also Yu Jingjing, a little rich woman with a stubborn side who competed with her childhood sweetheart as to who could pee the farthest.

If they still remember me and know that I am dead, they will probably be very sad.

Jiufeng also wanted to have a child with her. If she died, wouldn't she never experience the joy of being a mother for the rest of her life?

That Zhao Rou remembers me, but she doesn’t know my true identity. Her father is a city councilor and a young rich woman. Moreover, she is a college student herself, in the grade of youth and beauty. When I treated her, she looked so sick and weak. The appearance is also very good-looking.

Ping Shiqing doesn't know how she is doing now. She is Huang Qiuyuan's biological sister and her life should not be in danger...

In the last stage of his life, all he could think of were women.

Xia Ren gave a self-deprecating smile, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his sanity was about to return to zero.

Wait, speaking of rich women, when I first met Qin Yun, she seemed to be a rich woman. She gave me my first luxury car. She also had two million in savings, which she has not spent all yet.

The scene of meeting Qin Yun for the first time appeared in his mind.

At that time, he rushed into her room, and her fair body looked so out of place in the house that was charred by the fire.

His heart suddenly jumped, and Xia Ren's dim eyes suddenly became a little brighter.

fair body...

Soft little hands, plump thighs... Qin Yun's image of a mature woman became clearer in his mind than ever before!

Damn it!

"Niu Changshou died here quietly before the conditions he promised to him were fulfilled. It's such a shame."

Xia Ren's heart suddenly burst out with strong unwillingness.

Just like a toy that was just bought when I was a child, my parents would forcibly take it away before I could play with it.

In the storm, the little flame of reason suddenly swelled and began to burn brightly.

He had a ferocious expression and roared from his throat.

A bright light suddenly bloomed in his dim eyes, and his sluggish aura instantly became stronger. He, who had just been wandering on the edge of death, miraculously regained his vitality!

"Can't die here!"

Xia Ren stared, panting violently, and managed to hold on.

"Hello!"

While his sanity was restored, Xia Ren took the initiative to talk to the terrifying figure.

"Look back at me! Bastard!" He originally wanted to say this, but he was afraid of being slapped to death by the other party, so he just shouted "Hey" and said nothing more.

Since the other party brought him to this space, he definitely didn't want to be used as a decoration next to him.

Along with the rumbling sound, the space distortion became more intense. The giant rat-like figure slowly rotated, and with his movements, pieces of blue fungi slipped out from between the black fur and tentacles, like The goose feathers and heavy snow in winter are falling down.

Xia Ren frowned, thinking that the fungus was indeed related to him. How would he communicate with him later? Only then can he help him?

Before his thoughts stopped, the mountain-like body had already twisted around.

A huge shadow shrouded Xia Ren, and the face of the old god appeared completely in front of him, with three clover-shaped eyes looking at the small and humble creature beneath him.

He didn't make a sound, but there were ripples in the space. The moment Xia Ren's body came into contact with those ripples, a massive amount of information was integrated into his brain.

The reason he had just barely recovered collapsed like gravel again, and his consciousness was floating in the darkness of the endless abyss.

…

…

real world.

Time has stood still in Dallas for more than twenty minutes.

During these twenty minutes, Xia Ren stood there blankly, staring blankly at the blue gem in his hand.

The doctor's aura gradually became confused. Even with his strength, it was very difficult to influence the rules of time for such a long time.

"Wait another two minutes. If it doesn't work, you have to give up."

Jiufeng nodded and had no objection to this.

It's just a pity that Xia Ren, for so many years, is the only man who can make her heart beat and is willing to try to have an heir with her. However, this shining star is about to fall before it even begins.

The twisted and weird strain is still slowly releasing spores, and the rules of this world cannot completely restrain them.

The city of Dallas began to shake, and black cracks like lightning appeared frequently in the sky above the city. This was a sign that space was beginning to collapse.

At least in the three-dimensional space where humans live, time flows inertially, with one and only one direction. If time stops in an area, it will inevitably cause the surrounding flowing time to have a strong impact on it, and the longer the stop time. , the power of this impact will become greater, and in the end, the entire city of Dallas will be destroyed by the mighty torrent of time and space, and traces of its existence will be completely erased.

"Can't wait any longer."

The doctor said solemnly.

He was about to leave with the three of them when a sudden change occurred.

The blue gem broke away from Xia Ren's palm and began to fly high into the sky.

Along the way, the energy released by the gem became greater and greater, and its mass became higher and higher. Soon it was heavier than all the buildings in the entire city combined, and in a short period of time, its mass was still several times heavier. The rise is 1,000 tons, 10,000 tons, 100 million tons... and there is no stopping trend at all.

"Oops! Time and space are collapsing!"

The doctor's expression changed drastically, he grabbed Jiufeng and the unconscious Xia Ren and disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already dozens of kilometers away from Dallas.

The gem was so small that it couldn't be seen in the field of vision, but the heart-stopping aura was still rising steadily.

The next second, without the doctor's power to maintain, and coupled with the impact of the super massive mass, the space within the city of Dallas finally couldn't bear it.

Jiufeng's beautiful eyes were looking at that place, and she suddenly felt her eyes sting.

A huge black hole appeared in the sky above the city without warning, and like the black ink from the tip of a god's pen, it fell on the world, leaving no trace behind.

There is no light in the black cave, the interior is bottomless, and I don’t know where it connects.

Just staring at the darkness, Jiufeng felt like his soul was being torn into pieces.

The silver key on the doctor's chest emitted a soft light, helping her stabilize her mind.

He sighed and said tiredly: "It would be a good thing if that strain could be exiled to the turbulence of time and space."

The doctor also controls certain rules of time and space. Although he can do similar things, the price is too high.

Frequent time travel has made him excluded from this world. If he uses power at will, he will most likely be directly erased from existence.

However, things did not develop as he expected.

In the cave where time and space collapsed, blue light suddenly burst out.

The gem released unimaginable power and actually forcibly pulled the space that had begun to collapse back on track.

The next moment, the black cave disappeared and the sky returned to its original appearance.

This change was so sudden that it completely exceeded the limit of human cognition. As a bystander, Jiufeng felt like two sharp swords pierced his eyes and went straight to his brain.

She groaned and took half a step back, covering her eyes with her hands, blood seeping out from between her fingers.

The doctor's old face also had an abnormal flush of color. Even he, who understood the secrets of time and space best among all the humans on the Blue Star, was still suffering a great deal.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

Jiufeng asked?

The doctor covered his forehead with one hand and said in a tired voice: "I don't know either, but time and space have returned to normal, and the strain is still in this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light illuminated the night sky, covering up the blue light emitted by the gem.

Following the original trajectory, the nuclear bomb exploded again.

The ground shook, and the explosion set off a hurricane that raged across the land.

The doctor's white gown rustled, facing the strong wind and facing the direction of the city, his face full of worry.

The ground shook, and mushroom clouds mixed with blue fungal spores rose.

The housing agent was still unconscious and lying on the ground unconscious.

Xia Ren lost consciousness and looked like a puppet.

The doctor turned his head and sighed deeply.

Xia Ren's death means that this only variable no longer exists. Even if we survive this apocalypse, what about the future?

But it was obviously impossible for him to die so early.

Because he was sure that he would not die, he asked him to try to use the blue gem to communicate with the old gods, but he did not expect that the result would be like this.

The doctor was in a daze, and the belief he had always insisted on was a little shaken at this moment.

At this moment.

"PhD?"

Jiufeng suddenly called him and said in an urgent tone: "Something is wrong. Please take a look."

"I'm blind."

The doctor said dullly.

That's all, no matter how bad it can be, how bad can it be?

The doctor was completely disillusioned and turned around to look.

Although he cannot see with his eyes, he can actually observe the surrounding situation more clearly than anyone else.

In the blue mushroom cloud, a little incongruous yellow appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the yellow light spread rapidly to the surroundings, almost in an instant, so the blue spores were assimilated and replaced by a piece of yellow-orange smoke, which was still spreading to the entire city along with the hurricane set off by the explosion.

Later, the source of these effects was finally revealed. In the yellow smoke, the blue gem stood out like a beacon in the dark night.

The doctor was stunned for a few seconds before reacting: "I remember, that gem can inhibit the growth of fungi?"

Jiufeng immediately understood what the doctor meant and nodded excitedly: "The real estate agent was treated by that gem, and there are still fungal remains on his body!"

The two looked at each other, and at the same time squatted down, regardless of appearance, and raised and lowered their hands on the unconscious housing agent.

"found it!"

Jiufeng raised her hand and twirled her fingertips. On the belly of her index finger, there were a few grains of dust similar to dust, but the color was obviously more yellow.

The two stared closely at the few specks of dust, and then looked at the spreading smoke in the distance, confirming that they were the same color.

"Doctor, please stay here and don't move around. I'll go get some samples."

After Jiufeng finished speaking, the flame mark on her forehead lit up, and the red flames burned from her feet to her whole body, flying with her body towards the city hit by the nuclear explosion.

After a while, she flew back and opened her palms.

In the palm of the hand, there is a thin layer of yellow powder.

"It's the same thing."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Plop" sound.

Xia Ren's stunned body also fell to the ground at this time.

The doctor stepped forward to check on him, took off the silver key, and put it on his forehead.

After a long time, the doctor's scowl completely disappeared and he felt more relieved.

"How is he? Is he alive?"

Jiufeng was quite concerned about this man who hoped to have children with her.

"No."

The doctor hung the silver key back around his neck and said: "Xia Ren himself has the blood of the old gods, and there is also a force protecting him. It is not easy to die. It's just that after his soul returned from the void, Tai Too weak, trapped at the interface between dreams and reality, unable to wake up on his own initiative."

"The intersection between fantasy and reality..."

Hearing this statement, Jiufeng frowned: "Isn't that no different from death? Even the most powerful dream maker cannot reach such a far place, right? And I remember that it is the territory of an old god... …”

"It doesn't matter, someone will save him."

The doctor is not worried about this: "I will leave the follow-up matters to you. The power of rejection is getting stronger and stronger, and I can't continue to appear. By the way, this C-level investigator's injury is a bit serious. Find a place to treat him as soon as possible." "

His figure gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared completely.

Jiufeng looked at the two men lying down at her feet, and her eyes fell on Xia Ren's face for a while.

"When you're not lying to me, it's not so annoying to look at."

…

…

The everlasting dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the desolate land was dotted with collapsed buildings.

After a long period of time, all these buildings have been reduced to ruins, and the huge distorted alien skeletons were buried in the soil.

The whole world is filled with despair and lifeless, just like a wisp of dust floating in the chaotic cracks of time and space. No one knows what happened here in the past.

The soul slowly awakened in the darkness, and Xia Ren's head hurt like it was exploding. The whispers of evil thoughts coming from the abyss surrounded his ears, and the bloody and dark scenes turned into nightmares, constantly tormenting his consciousness.

For an ordinary person, this situation would be a precursor to madness, but for Xia Ren, who had been on the verge of death several times, it was just another nightmare.

"Damn..."

He struggled to sit up from the ground and shook his head. With his movements, the blood vessels in his mind seemed to burst, and every beat brought great pain.

This is not the ancient dream world, so looking directly at the old gods must pay a price. The last time I glimpsed the sequelae of Itacua in the Moka Desert was eliminated by Dr. Liao, an S-class investigator, but this time I was obviously not so lucky. .

Even if you have been mentally prepared in advance, when you actually face this side effect, the pain will still not be less.

It took a long time for Xia Ren's consciousness to completely break out of his half-dream and half-awake state.

He also recalled what happened before he fell into coma.

The transcendent, Vipur.

This is the name of the old god whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of a giant rat.

As the doctor said, Weibull travels through different universes and dimensions. It can be said that he is everywhere, but it is difficult to truly find his figure. What appears in the three-dimensional universe of human existence is only a part of him.

Compared to the violent Itakua, the god of ice and silence, and the white worm Rulim Shaklos who turns people into ice sculptures at the slightest disagreement, Weibull has a gentler temperament and is easy to communicate with. type.

Of course, it would be better if His communication method could be more gentle, instead of just packaging all the knowledge into bundles and stuffing it directly into people's brains to burst their brains.

The origin of the matter comes from a certain space trip in Weibull's long life.

When He arrived, the place was completely occupied by fungi, and the entire universe turned blue. It was at that time that Weibull discovered that he, an outsider, was also regarded as a parasite by fungi.

The destructive power and troublesomeness of a fungus that can destroy a cosmic plane need no further proof, but Weibur is the Old One after all. He travels through various time and space and possesses unimaginable power. No matter how powerful the fungus is, , cannot directly kill an old god, but similarly, Weibull cannot completely eliminate the fungus.

In the countless years that followed, Weibull struggled with the fungus. During the long confrontation, they gradually assimilated and the fungus became part of Weibull. The price was that it could no longer have any influence on Weibull and was trapped forever. In the other person's body.

As proof of that long-standing confrontation that cannot be traced back, Weibull's body still occasionally excretes stones containing large amounts of blue fungi to this day. This is the origin of the blue gem enshrined in the town.

According to Weibull himself, He once stayed in this universe for a short time (not long, just six thousand years), so the blue gem may be left over from that time.

Weibull was aware of the fact that someone was enshrining him, but even if it was as long as centuries, for him, it was only a brief moment. Human beings might care about a shooting star crossing the horizon, but for a shooting star From a personal perspective, the entire Blue Star is just a speck of dust in his long journey, and he doesn't care at all.

But He must not allow blue fungi to appear elsewhere, even though the fungi on Blue Star are incomplete, and their propagation efficiency and survival ability are less than one tenth of a billionth of those of a complete fungus.

Even for Weibull, the universe and dimensions were limited. He didn't want to see a boring blue scene no matter where he went in the future, so he wanted to cut off all possibilities of fungal spread.

For Him, eliminating the fungus on the Blue Star is not even a simple task. It does not even require the presence of the main body, and can be solved with only blue gems.

Weibur does not have a digestive and circulatory system as understood by humans, so no one can easily conclude whether the blue gems are his excrement.

At least Xia Ren didn't want to admit that he had been holding a piece of shit for a long time, and he was even less willing to admit that humanity was saved by a piece of shit.

The lingering whispers in his ears gradually faded away, and the terrifying images in his mind no longer appeared. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

In the distance, purple-black twisted vines wrap around tall buildings. The branches and leaves stretch out from the windows or corridors. The two seem to be integrated into one. It is unclear whether the vines are attached to the building or whether the building is relying on the vines to prevent it from collapsing. ;

A road can be vaguely seen ahead, but the road surface has long been occupied by deep pits and cracks, causing it to fall apart. There are remains of bricks and rubble everywhere, and a few strange-shaped bones occasionally appear among the buildings.

"It's this familiar place again."

Unexpectedly, but also within reason, Xia Ren felt that there seemed to be some indissoluble bond with this place.

After a while of adapting, he held his forehead and stood up from the gray ground.

"It's better to go back quickly, I don't know what's going on outside."

There are also a few things waiting for him to deal with, one related to the housing agency and one related to Riko Aikawa. He also needs to redeem a bottle of level 3 anti-pollution liquid to regain his sanity.

After a few seconds, he found himself still standing there.

"Um?"

Some doubts.

In the past, when I came here, I only needed to have a thought to return to reality. This was the first time I failed.

Xia Ren tried again, but still failed.

After several times in succession, he panicked.

"What's going on? Can't I go back?"

He looked at the dead world around him.

The system cannot be used, and others cannot enter this dreamland. Staying here all the time is simply more difficult to accept than death.

As far as he knew, there was only one person who could come to this desolate place, but that person would certainly not be merciful enough to save him.

"Things are getting troublesome..."

Xia Ren's eyes were a little desperate.

But then, he recalled in his mind the mature and charming Qin Yun, as well as the almost perfect figure, which is very suitable for wearing black stockings, the short but broad-minded editor-in-chief Liangzi, the little rich woman Yu Jingjing, the little rich woman Zhao Rou...

They all turned into Xia Ren's wings at this moment, helping him rekindle his hope and pursuit of life.

At this moment, he returned to his true heart, recalling the days when he was first seduced by his wife Sun Aihong in Jupiter City.

Suddenly he felt confident and satisfied, and the haze disappeared.

"Let's first see if there is any other life in this world. Since there are plants, it means that it is not a complete restricted area for life. Maybe when the sequelae of losing sanity subside, I can return to reality."

Xia Ren took steps and walked in one direction.
