The final gentleman

Although the old world is a focus of disease, the vast majority of patients, especially the "independent patients" who are not affiliated with any organization, have no resources and no teaching.

After the defeat of the old world, a large number of rules were blocked, and a large number of opportunities were lost. It was impossible to gaze at the stars, face the sun, etc.

It is difficult to touch open source by relying only on yourself or discussions among peers.

Coupled with the restrictions on fertility rules, the spread of darkness, the wandering of the dead and other factors, the number of independent patients can only become smaller and smaller. Eventually, a large number of independent patients will die over the long years, and a large number of sick villages and settlements will be lost in time. long river.

The remaining villages and towns are either attached to an organization, are within the jurisdiction of the epidemic area, or are affiliated areas of a neutral city.

However, this decline is slowly turning around.

With the beginning of the "World Infection", a large number of infected humans came to the Old World through the [Channel], which to some extent made up for the problem of 'reproductive restrictions' and gradually stabilized the declining total population of the Old World.

These foreign infected humans were kept in captivity when they first came to the Old World. Many epidemic areas and organizations even issued "Outsider Protection Orders" specifically for this purpose to ensure the safety of infected humans.

At present, a fairly stable captive breeding system has been formed.

As long as infected humans from outside pass through the passage, they will be sent to the captive area for free by transfer companies, such as Longchang, Transmitter, and Black Ascaria.

The so-called captive areas correspond to those once dilapidated towns, villages or caves. The lifeless ruins slowly became lively as humans moved in.

Every once in a while, envoys from various organizations, even from the epidemic area, will come to look for talents. If there are promising humans, they will be taken away.

If there are open source patients among them, there may even be competition among multiple organizations.

【Meniere】

There was once a small town inhabited by patients with ear diseases. Thousands of years ago, patients no longer lived there, and it was planned as a captive area decades ago.

With the arrival of the infected humans, the lights became bright again, and some humans even brought "technology" into the town. More leaders emerged, and slowly, with the efforts of the people in the town, a material and spiritual world was built. A town of mutual contentment.

It is said that they are kept in captivity, but in fact the infected humans here are living much better than before. They have long been accustomed to the symptoms and can use them appropriately.

Moreover, with the well-established Public Security Bureau in the town, any conflicts will be contained as soon as possible. The infected humans living in this town can be said to 'live and work in peace and contentment'.

There are even many patients who have started families here. Even if they are unable to have children, they can adopt young infected people to raise as offspring.

Among them, the Andersons and their adopted son Dennis are one of the model families.

Her husband, Ogus Anderson, who suffers from neck and shoulder myofasciitis, is engaged in physical construction work in a small town, and is often responsible for transporting various giant timbers and heavy steel materials.

His wife, Giselle Anderson, who suffers from psoriasis vulgaris, is a seamstress who uses the skin she sheds on her body and locally produced raw materials to make clothes. As the population of the town increases, so does her business. The better.

His son Dennis is only five years old and suffers from congenital glaucoma and autism. He stays at home and plays alone all year round. He just waits for his parents to come back from get off work every day and has no desire to leave home.

This peaceful life lasted for two years, and during these two years, Dennis never left home.

Tonight.

The Andersons rode their bicycles home after get off work. The two arrived at the door of their home almost at the same time, hugging each other in the front yard as usual.

However, the attentive wife discovered that the mailbox in front of her home seemed to have been opened.

"What is this? Tickets?"

My wife found two strange tickets in her mailbox that she had never seen before.

The tickets are painted with various body parts, masks, hair and other weird elements, which make even a sick person look very uncomfortable.

They have lived in the small town for many years and have never heard of a circus.

And, when the wife tried to grab both tickets out of the mailbox, something weird happened.

No matter how he tried to grab it, he could only grab one ticket... There seemed to be some kind of restriction that restricted one person to only be able to grab one ticket.

When the husband also got the ticket, the two people's thoughts were pulled in some way, and they even felt like there was a thread passing through their brains, trying to lead them outside the town.

The couple who loved their son so much actually resisted the guidance of tickets and rushed home immediately.

"Dennis!"

No matter how they shouted, there was no response.

After searching everywhere in the house, there was no sign of their son. The couple immediately thought of the mailbox that seemed to have been opened and the suspicious circus tickets.

It is possible that Dennis had already obtained his tickets from the mailbox and headed to the circus.

Strangely, they knew how serious their son's autism was. Once they tried to take their son out, but they still failed despite force and force. Dennis even bit off two of his wife's fingers.

Since the disappearance must be reported to the Public Security Bureau for 24 hours, the two had no choice but to ride their bicycles and use the traction given by the tickets to go to the circus to search for their missing son.

It had been a long time since they were so far away from the town, but strangely, they saw some people from the town also going to the mysterious circus with tickets.

I don’t know how long it’s been,

In a dark area where the underground sun cannot illuminate, bursts of weird colorful lights light up here, and a huge and dark circus tent stands in the uninhabited area.

There were many bicycles parked outside the tent fence, and it was obvious that many people had entered them.

The circus has two entrances, corresponding to "audiences" and "applicants".

The couple determined that Dennis must enter as a spectator. When they thought that staying in such a densely populated area might induce a severe attack of autism in their son, they hurriedly entered the spectator area without paying attention to the precautions in the spectator area.

The circus auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people, is currently about 1/4 full. With the brighter lights, the couple quickly located Dennis's position in the first row and sat upright.

Contrary to expectations for an autism attack, my son did not show any agitation at all.

When his father quickly approached behind him, "Dennis, why did you come to a place like this alone? Come home with us quickly!"

Dennis was indifferent to his father's slightly reproachful words.

This made the father a little excited. The inflammation caused the shoulder and the entire arm to become red, swollen and thickened. He grabbed Dennis and prepared to forcefully take him away from the circus.

But just as the palm of his hand pulled Dennis's shoulder,

Snapped!

The head, which had been cut open long ago, fell to the ground, and the eyeballs on the face had been gouged out.

What was dragged into his father's hands was just a headless corpse.

"Dennis!"

Just as the two of them exclaimed, a waiter holding scissors flashed in front of the couple... The dinner plate in the waiter's hand also had two more complete tongues, and the tongue removal was completed in an instant.

"Shh! You two, please be quiet and enjoy the next show. As long as you can persist for enough time and keep your heart, you will receive freedom and generous audience rewards. Please work hard! No audience has received the reward yet. "
