It's not illegal

Not right?

Du Ling blinked, tilted his head and looked over more intently, but he looked left and right, but he didn't see anything wrong.

Even after staring at it for a long time, it gave birth to a trace of nostalgia: the battle scene on the seawall was very similar to that in the previous life, when the supernatural beings teamed up to fight against the mutant beasts. The fighting power of the good sea monsters is also very sorry for their terrifying appearance, they are scum to the extreme.

This kind of scum is also beaten so carefully, can the power awakened below do it?You can't replace me, that's not how abilities are used——

Ok?

Ability? ?

In his mind paralyzed by the inherent concept of "Monster Attacking the City", a nerve was touched.

Then Du Ling, who often lacks the self-awareness of a cultivator, finally suddenly realized, and then slapped himself on the mouth: he should first cover his eyes with aura, and then see what the "situation" is!

Just staring at a pair of mortal eyes, can he see a ghost? !

It's not like Xiao Li who is born with a pair of spiritual eyes that can reach the sky, and comes with a #However天帝已经看见了住位# BUG...

Is not silly.

Du Ling's face was hot and embarrassing, and he wished he could find a crevice in the clouds to sneak in.He shrank his neck and didn't dare to look at Xiao Li's expression, he recited the mantra embarrassingly, and added a spiritual vision to himself.

Bow your head again, the world will never be the same:

Those monsters that were tumbling and trying to climb up the high wall were indeed surrounded by black energy, and their bodies were filled with magic energy, which was no surprise.

Du Ling's eyes widened and he clenched his fists, shocked to the extent that his short nails were embedded in his palms. Among the human fighters who fought against the monsters, there were also many human fighters who were surrounded by black energy, and their obsession was even deeper than those sea monsters. .

But they are not monsters, nor are they completely devoid of sanity after being demonized, leaving only devouring monsters. They should still be considered human beings.

Or, to put it another way, for the first time... a human demon cultivator.

"This... But how is it possible?" Du Ling's dry voice was full of disbelief, and he really wanted to reject this terrible truth.

And even more terrifying:

These human beings have obviously been invaded by demonic energy, but they don't look abnormal at all: they look healthy, ruddy, energetic, and clear-headed (although because of their stronger power, they are somewhat arrogant and arrogant. ), there is no tendency to become crazy and violent, and as a leader, he can organize other people to work together to kill monsters.

But Du Ling couldn't lie to himself that it was just vertigo, but actually he was suffering from some kind of black mist fly disease, because these people's miraculousness is indeed different from ordinary people.At least an ordinary middle-aged man would not be able to move those giant crossbows with bare hands, or kick the huge sea monster tentacles off the high wall with one kick.

This all reminded Du Ling of the so-called power abilities he obtained in his previous life.

Xiao Li once speculated that the spiritual energy in the last days was too active, which stimulated the spiritual roots of some human beings with potential for cultivation, and formed the so-called supernatural power. The alchemy is actually a common method used by ancient monks, but...

He held his breath, and held his overactive brain cells to make rich associations, his eyes fixed on the development of the situation below without blinking.

The fighting power of the ferocious sea beasts is not as terrifying as their appearance. They seem to be some low-level molluscs that have been mutated after being invaded by magic energy. Although they swallow a large number of their own kind and become huge, they lack sufficient fighting power in essence.They blindly hit the huge concrete wall blocking their way, but they didn't know how to avoid the artillery and the flying steel-forked whale spears.

Fortunately, they didn't have time to evolve the simple brains of logical thinking, and barely retained the judgment function of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Therefore, after a large number of corpses were left to completely block the narrow passage into the sea, the remaining "live" monsters began to recede with the tide, and some of them still reluctantly wanted to devour their companions' corpses. Human beings have one more loot.

Talking about spoils of war is by no means falsely referring to achievements.

The rotten tide filled with monsters receded, but under Du Ling's horrified gaze, the victorious humans did not rush to celebrate. Instead, they put on their gas masks, tied up the climbing ropes, and jumped off the high wall fully armed... The dead body of the monster? !

The special corrosion-resistant steel knife cut through the blue-gray leather shell, and immediately a large amount of thick black mucus like crude oil gushed out. Du Ling's stomach twitched, and he even complained, "Are they so short of food?" I can't use all my strength.

And he already knew what these people were doing.

Exactly the same as in the last life, what these people are doing is hunting mutant beasts and searching for crystal nuclei.

Then it is logical that their bodies are more or less condensed with demon energy, because the collection of these dark and ugly crystals is obviously not for inlaying jewelry, but for practical "use".

Everyone is willing to try things that can increase their strength in the end-of-day life, no matter how dangerous it is.

In the previous life, after some people killed monsters, they found that they actually had crystal nuclei in their bodies as "prophesied" in doomsday novels, so they tried to eat them as the gourd painted, and as a result, their "supernatural powers" increased, and finally became The upgrade secret that everyone on earth knows.

Then why don't people in this life develop into hunting monsters, and then... devouring magic crystals?

Although the magic crystal and the demon pill are fundamentally different, their manifestations are so similar, which makes Du Ling feel a bit of irony of fate.

He couldn't bear to look away from the crowd who had scooped up a lot of trophies below and even fought over the crystallization of magic energy.

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

The only thing he feels thankful for now is that in his previous life, as a black market businessman who had no shortage of crystal cores, he has always been a supporter of the meditation and absorption faction because of his life and fear of scratching his throat, and he has never swallowed directly.

It's not that there will be any psychological barriers after knowing that the crystal nucleus is actually a demon core, but everything he saw in front of him confirmed his guess all along: that is the crystal itself condensed by the demonized creature, which really condenses a large amount of demon core. If you eat too much and don't pay attention to the construction of spiritual civilization, you will become a demon when you are alone.

This is true for ordinary creatures polluted by demon energy, but the demon pills produced by those bewitched monsters may not be much cleaner.

Although Xiao Li has always praised his pure mind, but Du Ling's family knows their own affairs, and he is just a small otaku who can't resist the temptation and has low willpower.

Gee.

God knows if there is a soul that is complete enough to be reborn, and passed the judgment of the Emperor of Heaven when they met for the first time, and was kept as a harmless little demon.

Du Ling never asked Xiao Li, what would you do if I was haunted by demon energy when we first met.

He wouldn't be so pretentious, and at the same time, he knew that there would be no answer other than Maweidao-the two of them didn't know each other well at that time.

Just thinking about it makes me very scared.

Seeing that there are still people walking on this old road without knowing it in this life, Du Ling's mood is even more complicated.

In his previous life, he was a nerd and died early, so he didn't have the chance to witness the future of those top-level supernatural beings going berserk and self-destructing. Victory, in fact, is more sliding into the abyss of extinction.

But this time, isn't it the "zombie doomsday" that makes humans demonized and mutated? Why is the painting style of the devil's capital so time-traveling?

Obviously the monsters in the sea as enemies are particularly weak, but humans still did a great death.

Problems are always like this. Once the first one is found, the next thing is to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. It's a big mess that makes people's brains hurt.

At this time, Du Ling was especially grateful for the Heavenly Emperor Da Da who knew everything by his side.

He just needs to be responsible for asking. Life is cool if you don't force your IQ to play. If Xiao Li can't answer, then at least the two of you can discuss it together.

This time Xiao Li lived up to expectations, he first explained the answer about the strength of sea beasts in an orderly manner.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, the starting point is too low.They are not like the monsters in Du Ling's previous life, who have unconsciously embarked on the path of cultivation. These gigantic sea monsters just swallowed instinctively - storing negative energy, and then being affected by the overflowing magic energy that could not be completely condensed, and proliferated. Huge size.

Although their bodies are filled with a lot of magic energy, they don't know how to use it. Those magic crystals that humans regard as treasures are similar to indigestion stones to sea monsters.

It didn't quickly become a magic devourer like humans, and it also benefited from the fact that the brains of these sea creatures are too primitive, so simple that they can't produce souls and can't breed the dark side, so they can preserve their own biology when the body mutates. characteristic.

But why did the situation develop into what it is now? It's strange that creatures without souls can be infected by demonic energy... Could it be that Mo Wentian specially made special demonic species that can infect different species?

But according to Hu Guodao's theory, it is unreasonable to create such ignorant and low-level cysts, either by becoming a spirit or becoming a demon.

Halfway through the analysis, Xiao Li began to meditate again.

Then there was another smelly sea breeze, and Du Ling inadvertently inhaled a big mouthful, almost vomiting.

After harvesting the crystal nuclei, those people actually slapped their asses and left, leaving the rapidly festering, foul-smelling carrion to nature?

Damn the quality of human beings!

He touched his chest with one hand and covered his nose with the other hand in grief, and begged with an indescribable expression: "It stinks! Let's find a shelter from the wind to rest first, and then think about whether it's okay!

? ”

Of course.

The Heavenly Emperor readily agreed to such trivial matters, and even dedicated his chest to Du Ling to bury his face in, and used the fresh breath of the high-ranking monk's body that was automatically cleaned by the spiritual energy to save someone's respiratory tract that was about to be scrapped.

It is a little selfish to fly with a Taoist companion to enjoy the world of two people, but if the environmental conditions are too bad and the mood is bad, it will not be worth the candle.

In the intense work of saving the world, I would occasionally read "How to Cultivate a Relationship with a Partner" specially found by Zhang Jing to relax, and combined with his own conditions to start practicing the primary strategy. fly to the city center.

He didn't know that someone was whispering in his mind that he was a natural black.

I don't even know how the blackened apprentice, who was put into trouble by the disciple with problems, dug out the long-preserved complaint book "Instantly Picking Up Girls in Three Days" from the favorites, and then replaced the nouns and randomly copied the case and put it on the market.

Confucius said: Cutting off the net is to build a natural moat between people and truth.

The ancients are not deceived by me.

******

Although it is also covered by fog and the visibility is poor, at least the city center is much better than the waterside, so people can talk normally without holding their breath.

So as soon as his feet landed on the ground, Du Ling let out a long sigh of relief. He still couldn't breathe naturally like Xiao Li, so he wanted to make a protective shield for himself to filter out the harmful As a result of the gas, he almost suffocated on the way.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Li felt that his little stubbornness was also very cute, and it was always a good thing to practice using spells. Practice makes perfect, so he didn't stop Du Ling.But seeing him slapping his chest and sticking out his tongue, with a look of suffering a great sin, his heart ached, and he hurriedly helped him straighten out his breath.

"Hmm - it's okay, it's okay, I'm fine!"

The feeling of pure aura winding down the spine was so refreshing, Du Ling worked hard to suppress the moan in his throat, and then jumped away from Xiao Li's hands like an electric shock.

Although hiding so fast seems a little nervous, but the convulsion is better than the sound of the waves.

I don't know how a good pillar of righteousness can grow crooked, and suddenly become so flirtatious (.

Du Ling didn't know whether it was disgust or aftertaste, he clicked his tongue, and then ordered himself to do business quickly.

He looked around for no one, and took out a portable air quality monitor from the space.

The size of a suitcase, electricity/spirit dual energy, one of Da Zhuang's achievements in eating, sleeping and playing Tibetan sauce every day.

In addition to PM10/PM5/PM2.5, it can also measure the concentration of new pollution sources such as magic particles in the atmosphere.

After pouring the absolutely zero-pollution Lingquan as a reagent and waiting for a while, the yellow light came on.

Du Ling looked at the value, and concluded with a strange expression: "The concentration of demon seeds is a little higher than that in the suburbs of Mozhou. If we didn't set up a formation at the beginning, the situation on both sides should be similar."

But even outside the protective circle on their side, no demonized creatures similar to sea monsters appeared.

So after the apocalyptic earthquake that tore the world apart, what did the city go through to develop into what it is now?

The answer to this question requires the appearance of the great detective Duling Moss and his assistant Xiao Sheng.

One advantage of a metropolis like Shanghai with a population of over ten million is that people are relatively unfamiliar with each other, and no one will deliberately check and chat with unfamiliar faces. Most people who are in a hurry will choose to turn a blind eye even if they notice. .This gave Xiao Li and Du Ling, two newcomers, an excellent opportunity to pretend to be ordinary citizens and blend in with the crowd to find out the truth.

Observation plus mental scan, they don't even need to ask, they know where to get clues.

There is a magical place called People’s Square in every magical big devil, and there is an even more magical corner in People’s Square, which used to be a special stronghold of an NGO that haunted the hearts of older unmarried men and women like ghosts.

Even in the end of the world, the blind date corner is still overcrowded, and there are big-character posters of Lao Wang selling melons all over the floor.

But now the times have changed, and everyone no longer seeks marriage, but recruits teammates to form a team, or recruits workers and farmers to open up wasteland together.Of course, there are also those who rent out, buy and sell goods, and those who collect luxury goods at high prices are too numerous to mention. There are even those who make appointments and open forums to recruit disciples to promote XX religion.

Oh, the last one was quickly taken away by the armed riot police with whistles and guns.

It seems to be very stable, prosperous and well-managed, and even more dynamic than the Mozhou base camp that Du Ling is very proud of.

Probably because people in big cities have seen many big scenes and are adaptable.

Du Ling comforted himself first, but he is not a person who is self-willed and cannot admit his own shortcomings, so he started to observe with a learning perspective after walking around for a while.

He doesn't know if this is the deliberate promotion of the current rulers of Shanghai, or the spontaneous behavior of people, but this form of free exchange and cooperation is worth learning, at least compared to Mozhou's current situation where tasks are all arranged by the top, coaxing everyone to be unwilling Not wanting to do the same thing is much stronger.

In my mind, I was thinking about how to maintain stability, reduce death and avoid demonization, but never considered that it could be applied according to the situation, so that ordinary people can show their strengths under the new conditions.

Obviously he used to always complain about the one-size-fits-all policy.

Fortunately, there are few villains in Mozhou. If he was allowed to manage a big city of the level of Modu in the first place, it is estimated that there will be revolutions on the hills by now.While laughing at himself, Du Ling told Xiao Li these thoughts, in exchange for a gentle and comforting pat on the head.

"It's not too late to loosen the policy now, the timing is just right."

Xiao Li didn't say this in a perfunctory way to comfort Du Ling. Looking at the lively and orderly crowd around him, he also felt that this approach was quite good. It's a pity that there are always some people who are haunted by black energy, have been invaded by demonic energy, and have appeared who are self-confident in their superior strength. Signs of superiority.

So what they did in Mozhou was not wrong. They should always ensure the safety of ordinary people before considering development issues.

"Their enthusiasm for fighting monsters and even the prosperity here are all based on the desire for magic crystals. There are great hidden dangers. We don't need to encourage mortals to fight monsters, but we will gradually open up management and let them choose their own work content and cooperation. Partners are essential."

Xiao Li made a very rare speech, and his attitude was as sincere and serious as ever, but Du Ling, who was worried about delaying the development of Mozhou people, burst out laughing for some reason.

"?" What's wrong with this?

He used to have a sculpted face, but now he can use the changes in the corners of his brows and eyes to vividly express his own innocence.

"...It's nothing, I just think the content of the conversation between the two of us just now, puff, is very similar to the style of old cadres who like to hold meetings. It's not like two young handsome gay guys holding hands and pressing the road, but it should be a big enamel tea mug. ,puff--"

Accidentally opened his mind, and it turned out that Du Ling, who had eaten the laughing beans, was not happy enough, and he performed the three-dimensional 23333 with strength, but he laughed so hard that he couldn't speak well, and he didn't forget to put gold on his face.

One of the young and handsome gay men who are holding hands with madness in the street is very helpless, and he can't get the joke at all. At the same time, he has nothing to do with Du Ling's increasingly unpredictable emotions-if it is a sad and irritable situation, it is fine Now, it can't be rare for the Taoist couple to laugh so happily, so I have to recite the mantra to suppress it.

I had no choice but to maintain a calm and composed iceberg face, trying to find new topics to divert my attention.

Xiao Li's eyes lit up as he scanned the crowds of people at the communication corner in the crowd, and he found a good target, and pointed it to Du Ling who was still having fun: "The communication activities here not only involve mortals, but also monsters. "

"...Where is where?" Du Ling couldn't stop giggling, and finally got a little tired from laughing, panting and looking up.

As a result, following Xiao Lixiu's long and beautiful fingers, he caught a very familiar face.

The "person" was thin and small, with short hair cut, his face was dirty and his body was tattered, and he looked very downcast. With an old newspaper spread out in front of him, he didn't seem to be looking for a teammate, but rather begging.

So people who come and go avoid him like the plague. After all, resources are scarce now, and next year's food is not known whether it will be grown in the last days. People don't have extra sympathy to squander on weak strangers.

But Du Ling recognized this face.

But the owner of this face before was much more glamorous and beautiful than now. At that time, he—it—she sang songs on the star-studded stage, vividly telling the fairy audience about a sad love of the world, earning tears.

This is clearly a strong contestant of the Huaxia Fairy Selling Miserable King, the idol sent by the pheasant essence, the little mermaid.

At the same time that Du Ling was looking straight at the other party, the unlucky aqua goblin also just turned his eyes and looked in their direction.

In an instant, his face changed drastically, and he jumped up and ran.

Whether she is a follower of the fallen monster Qi Fengyu, or a sea monster, she does have reasons for not being able to see people.

Seeing that thin figure sneaking into the crowd in the blink of an eye, trying to hide his presence, how could Du Ling not cheer her on for her reaction as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Just one word at the moment: "Chasing!"
