The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

Luo Xiaochen is very distressed now.The people around all changed overnight—Ye Zhao fell into a coma after inhaling the cold air from the ghost car, and was inexplicably removed from the ranks of humans; , Now being stimulated, he went mad and ran out to slaughter the mountain; Xia Zhiming and the three of them heard the bad news of their boss, and they were a little overwhelmed by the shock, and they were depressed all night; Chasing Huohai all the way to find Nie Renyan who ran away, but has not returned yet.

He looked outside. Since the morning, the sky has been very gloomy, like a thick curtain of leaden gray. The already cold wind is even more chilling today. Layer skin.The sea of ​​flames that spread for thousands of miles last night was gone. I don't know if Nie Renyan put the fire away after returning to normal, or the master put the fire away all the way.He just vaguely remembered that in the middle of the night, half asleep, and half awake, he seemed to hear a mournful howl from time to time, and he didn't know if it was related to Nie Renyan.Probably because the mountains were extremely quiet at that time, the distant voices seemed to be around the base, causing him to have nightmares all night.

Raising his hand to check the time, Luo Xiaochen got up and picked up several sets of glass lunch boxes and rice bowls on the dormitory cabinets. They bought them at the living department of the base for centimeters a while ago, so that they can bring meals on weekdays.Although the canteen at the base has been used for several years, it looks relatively new and the environment is not bad. However, because there are a large number of people eating every day, it is not as strict as the original army. quick.Rather than sitting there to eat, the few of them are more willing to buy and take back to the dormitory to eat, especially Ye Zhao, who refuses to eat well because of the bad environment.

Thinking about Ye Zhao, who looks gentle and cold on weekdays, but actually has various minor problems, lying motionless on the bed at this time, his handsome eyebrows are slightly frowned as usual, but his face is pale and lifeless, Luo Xiaochen can't help thinking sigh.He said to Xia Zhiming who was smoking on the balcony, "I'm going to buy food." Then he went out.

The entire corridor was empty except for their room. He looked at the closed doors and windows as he walked towards the stairs, and suddenly felt that Rensen was as lonely as snow.

He bought four meals, and when he passed the fourth floor back to the dormitory, he ran into that girl Jiang Qi.After arriving at the base, she would sometimes come to visit, but everyone has different jobs every day, so the time to visit is really very little, usually at night.In the past two days, due to various unimaginable ancient beasts appearing, the base has stopped a lot of work for safety reasons, causing many people to be idle, and Luo Xiaochen and the others are among them.

"Hey!~" Jiang Qi had never met them in broad daylight before, holding the black cat and greeted Luo Xiaochen in surprise: "Are you all okay these two days?"

"Oh, girl——" Luo Xiaochen was holding a stack of lunch boxes in his hand. Due to resource constraints, the takeaway bags in the cafeteria were not provided, so he could only carry them by himself, "Eh? Why are you crying again?"

"Hey——" Jiang Qi looked a bit distressed, and said, "Is it convenient to go to your room?"

"Let's go." Luo Xiaochen rushed to the stairs and shook his head, motioning for Jiang Qi to follow.The little black cat in her arms has been buried in her arms with its ears drooping, and it doesn't look energetic.

Luo Xiaochen glanced at the cat and said, "What's wrong with Xiao Hei? Is he sick?"

Jiang Qi followed him up the stairs, walked through the long corridor, and walked towards the room on the far side, while following Xiao Hei's hair: "I don't know, it has been listless for the past few days. I thought it was because of the recent floods, strange birds, and too many messy things, and I was frightened, but the fire last night and the white tiger were obviously more frightening. If you don’t let it go, maybe it will jump out.”

"..." Luo Xiaochen was a little speechless towards this little black cat.This little guy has always been very doggy towards Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan, but he doesn't care about others, with a very arrogant look.Luo Xiaochen once felt aggrieved because he was discriminated against by a milk cat. Now that he thinks about it, he is so stupid and naive.This little thing must have seen something a long time ago, or it was such a coincidence.

Thinking that his insight is not as good as that of a cat, Luo Xiaochen despaired of Rensen again.

As soon as he entered the dormitory door, Xiao Hei Gulu, who was originally buried in Jiang Qi's arms, sat up straight, then struggled twice, and rushed out. Before the two of them could react, they saw that it had already squatted on Ye Zhao's body. Beside the bed, fleshy paws were touching Ye Zhao's hand protruding from the quilt.

Luo Xiaochen: "..."

Seeing Ye Zhao stunned for a moment, Jiang Qi asked Luo Xiaochen softly, "Is he sleeping?"

"No." Luo Xiaochen sighed, shook his head and said, "Yesterday, the ghost car was killed by the master near here. It must have released some dark energy, and it probably hit Ye Zhao. He is still fainting now." He finished speaking. He pulled up a chair and said, "Sit down."

Xia Zhiming, who was standing on the balcony chatting about something, saw Jiang Qi coming, turned around and said hello, then put out their cigarettes, went back to the room and sat on their respective beds.Xia Zhiming obviously noticed Jiang Qi's teardrop eyes, and asked, "Why are you crying again?"

Jiang Qi originally wanted to hug Xiao Hei back and sit down again, but she couldn't get it off Ye Zhao's hand, so she had to sit back on the chair by herself and said, "It's inconvenient to talk about tears on the stairs just now, I'm sorry." Two days ago, I suddenly thought of an explanation, but—" She hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Zhiming and the others, and said, "...It's a bit unbelievable."

"..." Everyone said in their hearts, even people who have known each other for many years have become ancient beasts, and the other is also not human. We can accept such a thing, what is so unbelievable "You..." Of course Jiang Qi didn't I knew what they were thinking, but seeing that they hadn't opened their mouths, I thought I was frightened, so I hesitated even more.

"No, no, no, we can definitely accept it." Luo Xiaochen saw what she was worried about, and quickly waved his hands: "Say it, girl."

"Well... let's put it this way." Jiang Qi thought for a while and said, "I thought about when the tears kept falling for a long time that day, and then I found out... I can't remember those things clearly when I was a child. Speaking of it, the first time was when there were leeches, the sudden tears on the street were like opening a gate, the first time was the heavy fog last time, the same happened with the flood a few days ago, and the day when many people in the base suddenly lost their souls..." She Then he stopped and looked at the crowd.

Without her going on, they guessed what the explanation she wanted to say, so it is very obvious when you think about it: only in times of disaster, her tears will not stop.In a way, it's a foreknowledge.

Luo Xiaochen suddenly thought of what the master said last night, "there may be many abnormal people in the base", and his expression became very complicated. He and Xia Zhiming, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other, and there were thousands of grass-mud horses with prolapsed anus galloping in his heart. But—how come they bumped into both of them? !Fortunately, a few of them have a strong mental capacity, if you change to a weaker one, they will definitely collapse, okay?If the world view is broken and reassembled, if you are not careful, you will form a neuropathy!

"Damn it!" Luo Xiaochen was still silently complaining about this world full of aliens in his heart, but suddenly he jumped up as if thinking of something: "Then you shed tears this time, won't something happen again?!"

Jiang Qi nodded: "Maybe...almost."

"When did it start?" Xia Zhiming frowned, the master hadn't come back yet, Ye Zhao was still in a coma even if he wasn't human, Nie Renyan didn't know where he ran away, if something happened now, who else in the base could handle it ?

"5 minutes ago..." Jiang Qi rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then said to Luo Xiaochen affirmatively, "Just a minute or two at most before I met you."

"Hiss—what's going to happen?" Luo Xiaochen turned his gaze out of the window, the sky was still gloomy and seemed full of lifelessness, "Could it be that there are some monsters and beasts coming to attack again? Tsk, Nie, cough——" Luo Xiaochen, who almost missed the point, coughed a few times pretending to be, and said calmly: "Master is chasing the white tiger outside, and he probably can deal with many monsters along the way... If it's not a monster, what will it be—fuck!"

Luo Xiaochen, who was chattering, stared and pointed out the window, choked for a long time before saying: "Why are you here again!"

Everyone who was dizzy from being bombarded by the ancient beasts like Changyou, Guiche, and Shenzi in turn almost forgot that the real culprit that caused them to be homeless and seek refuge in this deep mountain was the fog that was more terrifying than these. !

Just a second ago, white flocs began to fall from the leaden sky outside the window. In such weather, it was too easy to be mistaken for snow all over the sky.

Xia Zhiming and the others also stood up "Huo", closed all the windows on the balcony, locked the balcony door, and closed the door tightly.Almost at the same time as they moved, the voices of people in the whole building suddenly became louder. It seemed that many people had noticed the white mist coming again, and the sound of "bang bang" came one after another. They were closing the windows and locking the doors, making various collision sounds, and being invaded by white mist many times, almost everyone instinctively started to panic.

However, when everyone sat down again in the tightly closed room, they all remembered: In fact, there is no need to be so afraid. The reason why they hid here is precisely because it is sheltered by lush forests and surrounded by white mist. Erosion doesn't seem to play a role at all here.

After being quiet for a while, Luo Xiaochen and the others could even hear chatter in the downstairs room. It seemed that many people were very assured of their own safety. Compared with the panic and despair when encountering thick fog in the past, the atmosphere was simply relaxed.

But the few of them couldn't relax. First, the white mist became more corrosive every time. No one could be sure that the base that was safe last time was still safe this time.The second is that those strange beasts seem to appear suddenly after the white mist. Although they don't know the reason yet, at least there must be some kind of connection between the appearance of the white mist and the ancient beasts. sex.

Even if the white mist itself did not cause much damage this time, who can be sure that their lives will not be threatened more after the white mist is over?

Everyone was silent for a while, Xia Zhiming suddenly raised his head and said, "No! Master and...they are still outside!"
