Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Somewhere in the northwest plateau of Huaxia.

In the desert base under the joint name of the Disaster Research Association and the Prevention and Control Bureau.

The night of the desert is coming.The windows on the side of the corridor are transparent and can clearly reflect the scenery outside the window.The window frames, eaves, and corridor handrails were all shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting several shadows on the ground.

A man lights a cigarette in a dimly lit corridor.

He stood in the shadows, wearing a white coat, with the words "Li Wuxing" written on the silver-rimmed nameplate on his chest.

This man is about 40 years old, his hair and eyebrows are still thick black, his eyes are bright and energetic, and his youthful beauty can be vaguely seen.Handsome but not frivolous, gentle but not introverted, simply put, he has a decent appearance that is obviously well-educated.

"Smoking is not allowed in the base, Director."

Standing beside him, the dark-haired woman wearing the same white coat as him gave a faint reminder.

The woman has a beautiful appearance, slender eyebrows, and her long black hair is meticulously tied behind her head.She obviously looks very young, but her style is more serious than the man beside her.

Even reminding her boss that she shouldn't smoke in the base, she can be as indifferent as ordering a robot vacuum to clean the toilet floor.

"I know that open flames are not allowed in the base." The man—that is, Li Wuxing, lowered his head, but there was a trace of frown on his brows, "So I smoke electronic cigarettes."

woman:"……"

Woman: "Then you should not smoke. E-cigarettes are not healthier than cigarettes. E-cigarette solutions contain nicotine, ethylene glycol, aldehydes, volatile organic compounds, etc., which are toxic substances that can affect heart rate and blood pressure , it can still pose a hazard to young people, but the risk is even higher for people of your age."

Li Wuxing's fingertips trembled: "Can't you expect me to order?"

"Tell me about this when you quit smoking," the woman said, "Also, you are not addicted to smoking, you are just using it to relieve stress at work. You can try to put some sweets, tea in the office , or simply walk around the base twice to relieve some stress by exercising.”

"But I'm just an ordinary human being, not a saint." Li Wuxing said with a sigh, "I know these theories. But human beings always say it easily, but it's difficult to do it. Just like you... said before, You have to learn to integrate into this base. When you meet colleagues in the morning, you should smile and say hello, and don’t be so impersonal when chatting with others. You must learn to read the atmosphere——Tang Yan, before I promised to bring you to the base, you promised to be good Yes. But after you came, did you fulfill our original agreement?"

The young woman called "Tang Yu" showed a trace of unnaturalness on her face.

"I know I'm not good at communication." Tang Wei said, "But my professional ability is not inferior to anyone here."

"If this is another place, then forget it. But this base is imprisoning a sleeping god-level vermin—in order to prevent it from destroying the city when it wakes up, I deliberately moved the base to this useless, useless place. Come to the human land... The environment in no man's land will bring invisible pressure to people, Tang Yu. The psychology of workers is easily affected by the environment. But you are my assistant. In a sense, your words and deeds It means what I mean. If you act too coldly, it will aggravate everyone's uneasiness and easily cause everyone's dissatisfaction."

Man is an emotional creature.

In a dangerous environment, they will become more impulsive, sensitive and thoughtful.

Tang Yu was reprimanded, and was silent for a few seconds, and finally said quietly: "Actually, you just don't want me to continue nagging, right?"

"Guess right." After smoking a cigarette, Li Wuxing felt a lot more relaxed, "You have to know, Zuo Yan and other people, making excuses, making excuses, and raising banners... These are all common chatting skills that people use. .”

Tang Yan couldn't help but rolled her eyes a little.

"Okay, this is the end of today's small talk. We should go to plan the research schedule for the next cycle..." Li Wuxing just said this, his feet trembled suddenly, "Boom", "Boom" The sound of steel breaking and breaking came from the distant depths of the ground, and for a moment, the entire base was shaking.The sound rang twice before returning to silence.

Li Wuxing: "What's going on?"

Li Wuxing is the person in charge of this base and has the power to call all staff urgently.

He connected with the researcher responsible for observing the vermin and got the latest observation data on the "vermin".

——The full name of this harmful beast is "Sin Eater".It is the most valuable research sample that the Bureau of Prevention and Control has obtained from the illusion in recent years.But also the most dangerous.

Originally, with their strength, it was impossible to control the sin-eating beast so easily.But since the sin-eating beast left the illusion of Yanwei Town, its vitality became weaker day by day.All its organs are degenerating, and it even tends to turn back into an egg.

In the beginning, when the sin-eating beast was fished out from the "Abyss Stepwell", it was an egg with almost no activity.

At present, this desert base dedicated to researching sin-eating beasts has not made much progress. That is because their research time has not been long since the capture of sin-eating beasts, and what happened to sin-eating beasts The degeneration phenomenon caused Li Wuxing, who is in charge, a headache.

But having said that, the degeneration of the sin-eater is certainly a headache, but if the sin-eater is too energetic, it is also a headache.

Although the desert base was built by the Prevention and Control Bureau with great effort, it is obviously not such a strong prison for the sin-eating beast.It only takes a few minutes for it to struggle suddenly, and the base will become crumbling.

Fortunately, the sin-eating beast is usually imprisoned by solid ice, and has not struggled a few times.

--until today.

"We are trying to reduce the vitality of the sin-eating beast by cooling down... but it has no effect!" A researcher said in a panic. "Now all the values ​​​​on the sin-eating beast are messed up! It obviously has a tendency to wake up!"

With a sound of "Zi La", the call between Li Wuxing and the researcher was swallowed up by a noisy busy tone.

In the depths of the base, the piercing sound of steel breaking rang out again.Along with the piercing siren, the entire corridor was illuminated with red lights.Looking inside the base, there are red lights warning of "danger" and yellow lights representing "malfunction".

Li Wuxing took a light breath.

"It seems that I smoked that cigarette too early."

It should be smoked at this time.

Tang Yan stood beside him, frowning and handed over the communicator: "Professor Li, the phone number from the headquarters."

They are researchers of the Prevention and Control Bureau, and the so-called headquarters generally refers to the General Administration of Yunjing City.

Li Wuxing was a little surprised, why did the Yunjing General Administration know what happened at the base so quickly?

But when he answered the phone, he found out that the other party did not come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

They're here to sound the alarm.

"...The abyss stairwell was destroyed, and there were many monsters coming out of the abyss. The three cities of Yunshui, Chongyan, and Chengtang have all turned into purgatory on earth—"

"I've already guessed that such a day will come!" Li Wuxing was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Is it an illusion?"

"The scariest thing is here, there is no illusion." The voice of the messenger was a bit bitter, "There is no distortion of space, no formation of illusion. Those monsters just crawled out of the abyss—a lot of dust drifted out from the abyss, As long as it gets a little bit, people will be instantly disintegrated by weathering and turned into a pile of ashes."

Li Wuxing: "..."

"The most important thing is that a special monster came out of the abyss. The first person to react was Si Linge. The people in Si Linge called that monster a 'fallen god'. He used to be a god, but then fell into the abyss Among them." The opposite person continued, and the ending of each sentence was lengthened because of excitement, "We all guess that His divine name is—Condemnation and Burning Star!"

boom!

Another crash.

The entire base let out an overwhelmed whine, as if it was about to fall the next moment.

Li Wuxing instantly understood the abnormal behavior of the sin-eating beast.

The sin-eating beast is said to be the divine beast under the command of the Sun God "Conviction and Burning Star".

It suddenly became so active because——its master has come!

"So, Professor Li, run!" A high-pitched urging voice came from the opposite side of the communicator, "The sin-eating beast must be going berserk now that the condemned burning star is alive! A desert base can't stop it at all, and the Prevention and Control Bureau can't even stop it." The evacuation zone from the Northwest Plateau to the Jiangbei Plain has already begun! You..."

"Drip."

The light on the communicator screen dimmed.

Tang Yan frowned, patted the communicator with his hand, and found that the signal from the base was still there, but the signal from the opposite side was cut off.

"Let's go, professor." Tang Yan's expression still looked indifferent, but Li Wuxing could see the restlessness in her heart from her clenched fists, "We have to evacuate all the staff quickly."

"There is an underground shelter nearby. You lead the staff to go there first." Li Wuxing took out another cigarette and lit it. He lowered his head and simply sat cross-legged on the cold ground, "I have some Things to deal with..."

"With all due respect, Professor." Tang Yan's expression at the moment was really indifferent, "I don't think you have any intention of leaving at all. You want to die."

"I am one of the participants of the Abyss Project, Tang Yu." Li Wuxing looked up at her, "Although the Abyss Project has been developed so far, it has long been out of my wish, and it is not the wish of many people, but we are a group after all. Companions If we make a mistake, we also have to take responsibility.”

"Yunshui, Chongyan, Chengtang... the three cities fell, and tens of millions of lives were lost. Someone must explain. The Disaster Research Association cannot be kept, and the prevention and control bureau must also cut its tail to survive. There is no doubt that, I will be one of the people who will be held accountable. Die here is also a kind of dignity preserved."

"...you go, at least lead everyone to hide in the safe zone." Li Wuxing raised his head and looked at the crumbling dome of the base. The roar of the sin-eating beast had penetrated the steel and iron mud and clearly reached their ears. , he stared at the direction where the roar came from, and said softly, "I mean, why have I always had an ominous premonition recently, so it should be here."

However, Tang Yu was unwilling to leave.Her eyes were fixed on Li Wuxing's back.

"Go." Li Wuxing repeated again, "Let's go now. Stay away from me so that you won't be dragged down."

"The two of us have to keep at least one...otherwise I won't rest in peace."

Tang Yu opened her eyes wide, as if she had been hit hard, she took two steps back, and two strands of hair fell down from her temples - obviously she still looked beautiful and elegant, but there was an inexplicable feeling in her steps. Looking a little embarrassed.

Three seconds later, she started to move, took off her leather shoes, turned and ran towards the stairs.

She took out the communicator of the base's information station and gave instructions to the researchers and workers in all departments.

"...Everyone, if you want to survive, run for me!"

If the headquarters hadn't sent them the information that Judgment Burning Star had awakened, they would still try to stabilize the sin-eating beast for no apparent reason, wasting the chance of escape.

...But now that the news has spread, of course he has to run away quickly!

Tang Yu secretly scolded the bastard while running.

After giving the order, she couldn't run any longer, and dodged to hide in a hidden passageway, panting lightly against the cold.

She took out a silver messaging machine from her close-fitting pocket, pursed her lips, edited a message, and sent it.

The recipient of the information has an English abbreviation, "S".

"The desert base will be destroyed soon." Tang Yan sent a message to the other party, "My latent mission can no longer be continued."

The opposite party will reply in seconds after receiving the message.

"Received. The mission is over, please evacuate with peace of mind."

Tang Yu tapped the screen of the communicator with her fingertips, and finally sent a message.

"You know that the Prevention Bureau and the Disaster Association promoted the Abyss plan. Do you need witnesses?"

Although there are no absolute rules for this kind of game between large organizations, it also pays attention to "who claims, who gives evidence" in litigation.If you want to expose the violations of "someone" in the Disaster Research Association and the Prevention and Control Bureau, you need definite evidence.Therefore, once "someone" frees his hands, he will be eager to erase all evidence-including witnesses.

This is why Li Wuxing felt that he could not escape retribution.

To be honest, Li Wuxing participated in the development of the abyss stairwell only a few years ago.The smooth completion of the abyss stairwell must be due to him.However, he did not participate in the follow-up work of salvaging monsters and extracting energy from the abyss, and it cannot be completely blamed on him...

To put it simply, if he is sued in court, there is a high probability that he will be banned from academia for participating in dangerous experiments, but his life will not be endangered.

It's just that "someone" probably won't give him a chance to go to court—Li Wuxing is more likely to die in an arranged assassination.

But if Li Wuxing can temporarily turn against the water and become the other party's witness, then things may have a turning point.

Tang Yan stared at the communicator in front of her, holding her breath, for fear of missing any word on the screen.

Half a minute later, there was a reply from the other side.

--"Can."

……

The person who contacted Tang Yan was Solomon.

Although Lin Chu and Li Zhiming had obtained the information from the research institute, it is not yet known whether they can be rescued safely.Taking a step back, even if the person is still there, those materials may be damaged.

Now is the most chaotic time, and it is time to pay attention to finding a few convincing witnesses.

Li Wuxing happened to be one of them.

When Solomon reported this to Si Qingxuan, they were sitting on a special plane heading to Chengtang City.

"Is that Tang Yu reliable?" Si Qingxuan asked.

"Reliable." Solomon replied, "She is a genius, but the family she came from can be said to be a mess. In her early years, she completed her studies with the sponsorship of Sling Court, so she is not a temporary bribe."

Si Qingxuan nodded.

They had investigated Li Wuxing, and they had put Tang Yu'an in the desert base to keep an eye on the sin-eating beast's movements.So it is not a hasty decision to make today.

"Patriarch." Solomon considered his tone, and finally began to say, "Actually, this time, I don't recommend that you go to the front line to deal with the Fallen Angels yourself. In fact, there are still many resources and manpower that can be mobilized in Siling Pavilion. Disaster Prevention Bureau——This is an accident caused by them, and they should be responsible for it. The danger of the Fallen Angel is too high..."

To put it bluntly, even if the Bureau of Prevention and Control sends their S-level awakened one by one to the fallen angels to carry out suicide attacks to settle the matter, that is their duty.

If it were an evil god's invasion, it would not be an exaggeration for Si Linge to help.However, it was the abyss opened by the Disaster Research Association-this is purely a man-made disaster.It was enough for Si Linge not to step on them while they were in chaos.

There is a saying that "a family with a lot of money can't sit down", not to mention that Si Qingxuan is the head of the family, is it necessary for him to run thousands of miles to the front line to take risks?

"This time not only I have to go, but also the president of the Disaster Research Association." Si Qingxuan showed an unfriendly smile, "Including the prophet himself, he must go too."

Solomon: "..."

"I'd like to see if the so-called prophet has guessed what will happen today. If he hasn't guessed it, then I'll ask him to open his eyes and see clearly."

Si Qingxuan really took it seriously this time.

He believed that seers could feel it too.

So Si Ling Ge sent a targeted invitation to the prophet and the president of the Disaster Research Association, and the meeting place was in the surrounding area of ​​Chengtang City.

Amazingly, the seer said yes almost as soon as he got the invitation.

Only Xu Zaisi, the president of the Disaster Research Association, couldn't come - because he suddenly had a heart attack at home and was dying.If it hadn't been discovered early, he would probably be drinking Mengpo soup by now. It was a coincidence that the president of the Disaster Research Association was ill, but he was still alive anyway.I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, or tensed their nerves.

So only the prophet and Si Qingxuan were left in this meeting.

It stands to reason that even with Si Qingxuan's status, it is very rude to suddenly use this "notice" attitude to let the prophet come to the dangerous Chengtang City.

The seer is perfectly fine to say no.But maybe it was out of guilty conscience, or maybe it was out of the need for negotiation... In short, he came in person.

The Prophet looks to be in very good shape.

He has a high forehead, a square face, and a little frost on his temples, but he is well-groomed.He is holding a silver cane, but that cane is like a pure ornament, because his back is as straight as a poplar tree, and he walks calmly and nimbly, without the slightest sign of aging.

Counting his age, the prophet should be from his grandfather's generation.

Rumor has it that the prophet is an old friend of Grandpa Si Qingxuan.But for so many years, Si Qingxuan had never seen him.

The prophet's attitude was warm and natural: "...Qingxuan, long time no see, you have grown up so much."

Saying that, the prophet stretched out his hand.

Si Qingxuan shook back with a smile, but the words he spit out were not so friendly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, maybe my memory is not very good, why can't I remember when we met?"

"We did meet—when you were five years old." The prophet's eyes were unusually kind, as if he was really an elder who watched Si Qingxuan grow up, "At that time, my relationship with your grandfather was still Not bad, you just came back to your grandfather, I met you in the Si family's old house. You were very cute back then, and when you grow up, it really...hahaha."

The two sat down and had a conversation.

Si Qingxuan looked at the prophet with suspicious eyes, and suddenly remembered - the establishment of Si Ling Pavilion was also fueled by this prophet behind the scenes.

"I'm curious." Si Qingxuan said bluntly suddenly, "If you had expected today, why did you encourage my grandfather to create Si Ling Pavilion?"

Now Si Linge and the prophet are undoubtedly in a hostile relationship.

If the prophet really expected today, he shouldn't let the Si family create Si Ling Pavilion, what he should do is to kill Si Qingxuan directly before he wakes up.

The prophet's smile suddenly became subtle.

Remember the prophecy I left for your grandpa?about you. "The prophet rubbed his cane for a while, and his eyes fell on Si Qingxuan's eyes, "You will become a great person, and perhaps the hope of mankind—it turns out that my prediction is correct.Every great young man is the hope of mankind, especially someone as different as you..."

"The existence of Si Ling Ge is doomed. No matter whether I intervene or not, Si Ling Ge will take shape in the end. The only difference is that it was created by your grandfather or by you."

"I personally affirm and admire the contribution the Si family has made to the entire human race." The prophet lightly changed the subject, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, like a drawn dagger, "I know your What is the hole card, Qingxuan, your Si family is a family favored by the gods, and behind you there is a god who is not inferior to any main god..."

"But you shouldn't rely on this to keep hindering my plan."

The upper body of the prophet leaned back slightly, and when he lowered his eyebrows, the oppressive sense of being condescending and penetrating the world was enough to make one's heart tremble, especially doubting whether he had really made a mistake.

But Si Qingxuan would not doubt himself.

"I invited you here today to discuss this." Si Qingxuan raised his chin, "Have you seen the casualty reports from the three cities of Yunshui, Chongyan, and Chengtang?"

Do you know the consequences of your actions?

"I guessed that you would question me about this." The prophet sighed softly, "Young man, you don't have to ask, I don't have to read. I'm not so old for you—these so-called "human beings" in your eyes Miserable, I've seen it too many times."

"The important thing is not the sacrifice, the important thing is what we have to sacrifice in exchange for it." He said earnestly, even a little bit of persuasion.

Si Qingxuan sneered: "All ears."

Prophet: "You know the Fallen Angel who crawled out of the abyss, right? His real body is the former Sun God, who condemned and burned the stars."

"Then do you know that Condemnation Fenxing...was also the evil god who ruled over the human race?"
