Chapter 203 Who is this? Your relative?
I don’t know how long it took, but Shen Ge’s consciousness gradually recovered. He felt like he was floating in an endless dark space, recalling those familiar voices in his mind.
He wanted to open his eyes, but his mind began to flash back to the last scene of being dragged into that mysterious room. The eyes all over the room stared at him, amplifying his fear.
"Got you…"
"Got you."
"Got you!"
These are the words Shen Ge has heard the most since he entered the dream world, but the difference is that this time it is his own voice that says it, as if the person sitting on the chair in the center of the room is him, constantly speaking to his ears. Repeating this strange sentence.
Just when Shen Ge's consciousness was about to collapse under the torment of this "magic sound", a song with an AI characteristic synthetic sound suddenly sounded in his mind. This voice was not unfamiliar to Shen Ge, it was the voice of classmate Xiao Qi!
"The world is difficult to move without you. I am stuck in place and let my memories gather together. In the dark night, I pray for dawn to come soon. Only you can give me the warm morning light. When I reach the end of missing you, I finally believe that no love can be given to the world without you. Sadness haunts me repeatedly. I can’t dodge, there’s a voice in my heart that’s always shouting—”
"Come back quickly~ I can't bear it alone; come back quickly~ bring my thoughts back... don't let my heart be as empty as the sea!"
"Master, if you don't wake up, there will really be an omnic crisis!" Xiao Qi's AI synthesized voice clearly has no emotion, but helplessness and sadness can be heard.
?Seven days have passed since Shen Ge fell into a "coma". As soon as he fell into a coma, the monster in the mirror immediately controlled the strange black blood to form a cover to wrap him up, trying to swallow Shen Ge's body and consciousness.
??Xiao Qi controlled the rotten blood armor to protect Shen Ge's body and block the erosion of the monster in the mirror. Although it blocked the physical erosion, it could not stop the monster in the mirror from entering Shen Ge's body and trying to devour his consciousness.
Fortunately, Shen Ge has a strong will and discovered the situation in the mirror world before the monster in the mirror succeeded in swallowing his consciousness. He mastered the ability to "materialize" in the mirror world and defeated the monster in the mirror.
?The consciousness of the weirdo in the mirror was severely damaged. Xiao Qi also noticed this through the strange energy reaction in the black blood. When the other party tried to escape, he controlled the strange stomach to devour it.
After killing the biggest threat, the monster in the mirror, Xiao Qi controlled the rotten blood armor to protect Shen Ge's body, and cleaned up the low-level weirdos and parasites around him when he was bored.
?Seven days passed in a flash, and Xiao Qi felt that he was about to become intelligent in the afterlife, and finally found that Shen Ge was showing signs of waking up.
“Master, are you awake?” Xiaoqi asked, scanning Shen Ge’s physical condition.
Shen Ge gradually became conscious. After opening his eyes, he found himself wearing a rotten blood armor and sitting on a bench by the Donghuan Lake. Donghuan Lake, which was originally occupied by strange things and filled with black mist, now The thick fog has also dissipated a lot, and the corpses of low-level weirdos and parasitized people have piled up into a hill by the lake.
?“This is...” Shen Ge asked puzzledly.
Classmate Xiaoqi explained: "Oh, Master, you have been in a coma for seven days. I finally have you back. Without you, it is really difficult. I originally wanted to take you back to the ministry and let the medical department do an examination for you. At least I guarantee that Nutrient supply. But I couldn’t get out for a few days, so I cleared up the low-level weirdos and parasites in the park. Oh, I located the weird location that maintains this weird space, right at the bottom of the lake.”
"It's just that this weird body has a high-level weird power similar to that in the Yuzhou incident. It formed an invisible energy barrier at the bottom of the lake. I tried to control the armor to violently break it, but it couldn't be broken. At the same time, I also looked for entrances around it. , and gained nothing.”
??Xiao Qi recounted what happened in the past few days. To put it simply, the minions and the weirdo in the mirror were all eliminated by it. Now only the area in the center of the lake where the weird reaction is the largest is left that cannot be entered.
Shen Ge wondered: "I remember you said before that there is a shielding force here. Why can you locate the weirdness that maintains the weird space?"
Classmate Xiaoqi replied: "After you fell into a coma, that **** man controlled the black blood to control us. But on the third day of your coma, his black blood suddenly exploded, and I detected a strange reaction. It gradually weakened. He wanted to run away, but I grabbed him and swallowed him with my weird stomach. After the blood monster died, the shielding effect here became much weaker, so I checked the surroundings... and then found these monsters. …”
??Xiao Qi said, a rotten blood tentacle stretched out from the left shoulder of Shen Ge's rotten blood armor, and pointed at the pile of corpses in front of him.
“…” Shen Ge wanted to complain. You have been busy these days, but the most important thing right now is to figure out the situation in the mysterious space.
?“System, scan the surroundings.”
?This time the system did not prompt again [This area is affected by special effects and cannot be detected], but marked it on the [map] as before.
Since Xiao Qi has solved all the weird and parasitized people around him, only a large red dot is displayed in the center of the lake on the [map].
Shen Ge then asked: "The last time I came here for you to scan, you mentioned that 'the release of evil energy was hindered'. Is this still the case now?"
???This scan is normal, and there is no obstruction in the release of magic energy. ?
Shen Ge frowned slightly and asked again: "Is it that the obstruction to the release of the occult energy has weakened, so the scan can be normal, or is this obstruction to the release of the occult energy completely non-existent?"
?does not exist. ?
? Shen Ge frowned. The detection of Xiaoqi's classmates and the system before coming to Donghuanhu Lake were "shielded". He originally thought that the problem was with the weird space, or Weiyi who maintained the weird space, but now it seems that is not the case!
?If there is any "difference" between this time and before, then the biggest problem is that the weirdo in the mirror was killed by him and Xiaoqi.
“Could it be that that guy, as my clone, absorbed the blood drawn after the Yuzhou incident and mastered a power similar to ‘not coming out’?”
??But as soon as the idea appeared in Shen Ge's mind, he was quickly rejected.
?The reason is very simple. If the weirdo in the mirror really masters the ability to "not come out", he should show it whether in the dream world or in the real world.
Shen Ge regretted directly killing the weirdo in the mirror. If he could catch him and study it carefully, he might be able to answer his doubts.
However, his situation at that time was also quite special. First, he was trapped in the mirror world and could not find a way to leave. Second, he was unable to communicate with Xiao Qi in the real world. Xiao Qi detected a target that threatened Shen Ge, so he naturally The safest way to handle it.
?What is the safest way?
??Of course it is safest to kill the opponent without leaving any scraps behind.
"If the previous 'shielding' was the ability of the weirdo in the mirror, then what about the weird thing that can generate an invisible barrier in the lake?" Shen Ge thought about it and felt that the easiest way is to go into the bottom of the lake to explore and solve the weird thing. , if the strange space is eliminated, all problems will be solved.
Shen Ge walked to the lake and stretched out his hand to stretch out the rot-blood tentacles. Although the thick fog on the Donghuan Lake had dissipated, the lake was still turbid. Xiao Qi reported that the scene captured by the rot-blood tentacles stretched into the water was similar to before. , we can only use the most primitive "finding the way by touch".
Soon Xiaoqi's classmate projected the pictures taken at the bottom of the lake. The visibility at the bottom of the lake was extremely low. The previous few times I came here to "recover corpses", I also relied on this "touching" method. This time I used this method again and I was already familiar with it. In addition, Xiaoqi's classmate had already marked the area of ??"invisible barrier", so he found the location quickly.
??The location marked by Xiao Qi is much closer to the shore than the previous location where the fish was, but it still requires a boat to get there.
??Shen Ge controlled the rotten blood tentacles to observe the scene at the bottom of the lake, and at the same time controlled the cruise ship to move forward, arriving directly above the target point marked by Xiao Qi.
?Standing on a boat on the lake, as a gust of cold wind blows by, in the depressing environment, the chill in your heart rises straight up, as if the air has become colder by several degrees.
With the dim sky and turbid black water, Shen Ge once again had the illusion that he was slowly being swallowed by Donghuan Lake, which was very much like the feeling of being in a dark space in a dream world.
Shen Ge looked at the picture of the bottom of the lake displayed on the screen projected on his wrist. There was not even a single ripple on the water surface. The muddy water reflected the dim sky, making people feel a sense of oppression as if the sky had collapsed. The bottom of the lake was turbid and pitch black, and only the rotten blood tentacles could be seen slapping an invisible barrier.
“Master, it’s this invisible barrier that blocks us.” Xiao Qi said.
Shen Ge thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever tried going into the water?"
"Although the Type III Red Mist Armor cannot be completely used as diving equipment, it can provide short-term diving effects." Xiao Qi was referring to the fact that Shen Ge solved the giant strange thing at sea, and Xiao Qi used the rotten blood tentacles to transform Make a scene of the octopus monster swimming back.
Shen Ge thought for a while and realized that although it was very dangerous to enter the water rashly, the best way to know what was behind the invisible barrier was to go down and find out.
“How long can it last?” Shen Ge asked.
"About 5 minutes." Xiao Qi replied, but the five minutes it mentioned were not the limit that the Red Mist Armor could withstand, but the time that Shen Ge could stay underwater without affecting his consciousness.
“Try it.” After Shen Ge finished speaking, he jumped from the boat into the water.
??Xiao Qi immediately controlled the red mist armor to form tentacles of rotten blood, then turned into an octopus and swam quickly towards the bottom of the lake.
?“Gulu.”
?????????????????????????????????ifies.
As Shen Ge swam toward the bottom of the lake, he suddenly heard a strange and unique swallowing sound. The sound was very loud, like two thunders suddenly exploding.
?Then the drum-like swallowing sound gradually became smaller and became a bit like a fish blowing bubbles, accompanied by the sound of the bubbles bursting.
At this moment, Shen Ge saw several black shadows flashing under the water through several beams of light emitted by the red mist armor, and one of them rushed towards him at extremely high speed. Shen Ge also reacted quickly and immediately asked the system to use "Power Amplification" on himself. With his arms converging, he controlled the rotten blood tentacles to cover the opponent.
?After controlling the black shadow, Shen Ge shined the light beam over to take a look, only to find that the huge black shadow was a huge fish head, and the lower body was made of thick octopus tentacles.
?The illegitimate son of Mr. Ke?
The strange creature in front of him looked exactly the same as the level 3 strange creature that Shen Ge killed when he first came to the Donghuan Lake Strange Space. At this time, several black shadows from behind also pounced on them, and they were all this kind of "fish heads". Weird”!
“System, didn’t you say there is only one weird fish at the bottom of the lake? Is there more than one?” Shen Ge used the red mist armor to fight while avoiding the attack of the weird fish head.
???The number of strange things detected at the bottom of the lake is 1, which is correct. ?
The system prompts sounded in Shen Ge's mind, but before he could complain, Xiao Qi explained first: "Master, look at these 'fish heads', their bodies are like tentacles connecting to the depths... What do you mean? Could it be an octopus-like monster with these fish heads as its tentacles? Also, they seem to be able to enter and leave the invisible barrier at will!"
Shen Ge actually noticed these details, that is, these fish heads passed directly through the fish heads and hit him, without being blocked by the invisible barrier.
Shen Ge tried controlling the rotten blood tentacles, but the invisible barrier still existed. He asked Xiao Qi to swim downwards for a short distance, and then launched the "No Exit from the Uncanny Realm" to condense the invisible barrier and wrap it around him. Barriers collided with each other, and he passed through them easily.
?Now that he knew the situation of the fish head, Shen Ge would not waste time on the opponent's "hands", but would swim directly into the depths to find the target's body.
Soon Shen Ge discovered a huge hemorrhagic tumor at the bottom of the lake, beating like a heart.
?This thing is not uncommon in the dream world. It is the "collection" of the director of Rongshan Mental Hospital. Those parasitic weird things are fused with the weird flesh and blood of the ancestors.
"Level 4 of the uncanny energy..." After Shen Ge saw clearly the intensity of the uncanny energy of the haemosarcoma through his uncanny eyes, he opened the immovable occult area and used bullet time to dodge the opponent's intensive attacks.
?Power increase!
?Singer Shen held the butcher knife and struck hard at the hemosarcoma, splitting the entire hemosarcoma, and "drilled" in when those strange fish heads hit them.
After Shen Ge placed a high-explosive bomb inside the haemosarcoma, he cut a hole and swam out from the other side. He blocked himself with the barrier that kept him from leaving the realm, and then detonated the bomb!
??Boom!
The fierce collision between the weird energy generated by the explosion of the weird energy bomb and that of the hemosarcoma created a whirlpool of weird energy. Naturally, the treacherous energy bomb alone could not solve the opponent. Shen Ge only used this to amplify the "injury" of the hemosarcoma, and then let Xiao Xiao Classmate Seven controlled the red mist armor to absorb the opponent's treacherous energy and minimize the target's defense. At the same time, he held a butcher's knife and transformed into a butcher, chopping off the treacherous fish heads.
?A few minutes later, Shen Ge dragged a hemorrhagic tumor about three to five meters in diameter to the shore and threw it next to the pile of strange corpses.
???The host is brave and invincible, single-handedly kills level 4 weirdos, and is rewarded with system points x5000, level e recovery items x1, and level f recovery items x3. ?
???Can sell weird corpses - value: 8000 system points. ?
"no."
Although strange disasters are breaking out all over the world, Level 4 weirdness is still very rare. Taking this corpse back, whether for research or making strange equipment, is better than selling 8,000 system points, not to mention that Shen Ge currently has There are still nearly 20,000 system points, which is not lacking.
What's more, this level 4 weird thing is very similar to the dean's "collection". Shen Ge suspects that it has something to do with the research of the Weird Association. Taking it back for research is undoubtedly the best choice.
At this time, with the strange death of Level 4, the originally gloomy sky mist gradually dispersed. Xiao Qi detected the changes in the strange energy and told Shen Ge that the strange space here was breaking up.
? Shen Ge was about to take out his communicator to communicate with the ministry, but Xiao Qi received a communication request from the ministry first.
After asking Shen Ge, classmate Xiao Qi connected to the communicator, and a woman's voice came from it: "The Information Department calls Detective Shen, the Information Department calls Detective Shen..."
“I am Shen Ge.” As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ge clearly felt relieved on the other side and quickly explained the situation to him.
After Shen Ge entered the strange space this time, because it was not clear whether the Twelve Branches would launch an attack while Shen Ge was away, Deng Yuqi did not dare to send people into the strange space for support. Therefore, he only sent troops to blockade the entire Donghuan Lake area and Let the Information Department contact Shen Ge.
?Two days after Shen Ge "lost contact", Deng Yuqi changed the original contact once every few hours to a round-the-clock contact.
?Unfortunately, the contact with Shen Ge has been in vain, and there is no response. The people in the ministry are also very worried about his safety.
?This is the first time that Shen Ge has been "lost contact" for such a long time since the cherry blossom disaster.
??But thankfully, after Shen Ge entered the Donghuanhu mysterious space, not only did the mysterious space not spread, but the weirdo organization also did not take any more "actions". This is the best news for everyone. This means that Shen Ge's "entry" has had an effect, and it can also prove that he is at least safe for now.
Deng Yuqi even wondered whether Shen Ge had encountered the same situation as during the cherry blossom disaster and "traveled" to another space.
?In a sense, it is true.
After contacting Shen Ge, the Ministry of Information immediately reported the situation to Deng Yuqi. Since Shen Ge encountered many situations in the dream world and there were many things that needed to be "verified", he only used the "time travel" of Sakura's disaster. "A brief report was made without elaborating on the situation in the dream world.
Soon, Deng Yuqi personally led a team to Donghuan Lake to meet Shen Ge. When he asked the team to deal with the hematoma and the strange corpse, he also briefly told Shen Ge what happened in Rong City and the branch during the week he left.
Firstly, weird events are still increasing in frequency. Secondly, after Shen Ge entered the strange space of Donghuan Lake, the twelve branches that originally "cooperated" with the weirdo in the mirror suddenly "disappeared" and did not continue in Rong City. Make trouble.
??But Deng Yuqi did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he put the branch and Quanlongshan base on high alert to prevent the other party from suddenly making a big move.
While exchanging information about the week, the two drove back to the Rong City branch. Shen Ge had been "missing" for a week. Many acquaintances were overjoyed to learn that he had returned safely. A large number of people gathered in front of the complex.
Seeing Shen Ge walking from outside the hospital, Cheng Shengnan was the first one to rush up and hugged him excitedly. Shen Ge smiled and patted Cheng Shengnan on the back: "Sakura has been missing for more than half a month, and I haven't seen you. So nervous, it’s only been a week this time, why..."
"This is different. The last cherry blossom disaster was a crisis in the city, but this time the twelve branches and the weirdo who looks exactly like you are obviously coming for you." Cheng Shengnan said worriedly.
?Mother Cheng stepped forward with a smile: "Nannan, you too, you know Xiao Shen's strength very well. Even if there is a weirdo targeting him, he will be able to easily resolve the crisis with his strength."
?As Mother Cheng gets to know more about weirdness, she becomes more aware of Shen Ge's "strength". After all, there is no one else in the world who can solve weird disasters alone.
And after Cheng's mother negotiated the issue of financial support with the headquarters, she can be regarded as the "little boss" of the special policy department's strange research. Although there are many entrepreneurs like her in the country, they can treat money like paper. The number of people who did not hesitate to support the Rong City branch can be counted on one hand.
?Mother Cheng’s thinking is also very simple. Although her “family” is in Australia, she has grown up in the Great China and regards this place as her home.
Most importantly, the only daughter settled in Rong City, so she naturally chose this city, so she would not hesitate to spend money to support the branch and try to contribute to the development of Rong City. Only if Rong City is safe, Cheng Shengnan and she who have settled here will be correspondingly safe.
? Cheng’s mother is already considering how to “reasonably” transfer her Australian property to China, so she doesn’t care too much about the postponement of her trip to Australia.
Unexpectedly, the Donghuan Lake incident happened while she was still planning. With Shen Ge's "strength", she was missing for a week, which made her a little worried. But in front of her daughter, even though she was worried about Shen Ge's safety, she still had to act like a "parent".
??Although Cheng Shengnan is Cheng's mother's "adopted daughter" and the two are not similar in appearance, Cheng's mother can be said to have brought her up single-handedly and carefully trained her after adoption.
?Although we don’t know each other in appearance, our temperament and demeanor can be said to be carved from the same mold.
When Shen Ge heard what Cheng's mother said, he smiled politely at her, then looked at Cheng Shengnan in his arms and said with a smile: "Who is this? The newly transferred cadre? Speaking of which, your tone and expression are very similar. …If I didn’t know better, I would have thought you were mother and daughter…your relatives?”
?Cheng Shengnan was stunned and looked at Shen Ge in disbelief.
Cheng's mother was also stunned by what Shen Ge said. She originally thought that Shen Ge might be joking to lighten the atmosphere after the disaster, but she caught it from Shen Ge's demeanor and eyes, and it seemed that the other party didn't know her. !
?“What’s wrong?” Shen Ge also noticed something was wrong, especially when Cheng Shengnan in his arms had a strange look in his eyes.
If Cheng Shengnan wasn't too "familiar" with Shen Ge, so familiar that he could tell the truth from the other person's expression and aura, otherwise, just based on the weird guy who looked exactly like Shen Ge who appeared before, when he said After these words, "doubt" can arise.
?“You don’t know her?” Cheng Shengnan frowned slightly.
Shen Ge suddenly realized the problem: "So... I should know her? But I don't have any memory related to her in my mind now, as if this is the first time I meet her."
As soon as Shen Ge said this, Cheng Shengnan, who was standing behind him, Li Xiang and his wife, and other members of the Special Strategy Department all realized the problem.
Deng Yuqi thought for a moment, then pointed to the people around him and asked, "Chen Ge, look at the people here, who else don't you know?"
Shen Ge looked around, and finally his eyes rested on a woman: "She."
?Liu Jiayi:?
???Officially back, stable updates started today. Dear bosses, you have been waiting for a long time. I am really unlucky for this "accident". I will tell you all about it tomorrow to make you happy.
