Indescribable cyberpunk

Ouch~

The wind chime crouched beside the sofa and called softly. In front of it were the shadows cast by the window frames and the large crimson sunset light.

There was a thumb-sized thread that might have fallen from the silk thread at the end of the curtain, jumping back and forth in front of it. No one was holding it, it was just the wind blowing it.

Using his hind legs, he pounced forward, and the thread suddenly floated up and swayed on the forehead of the wind chime.

So the wind chime stood upright again, waving its front paws to grab the ball of thread, but the ball of thread seemed to be alive, floating back and forth in the air without even being touched.

Phew~

Uncontrollable laughter came from Zhu Jue's mouth. Chu Yun and August, who were discussing serious topics next to them, turned their heads and looked at him with strange eyes.

“Do you think it’s funny that nearly a hundred people went missing due to a snowstorm?”

Chu Yun's hand touched the crowbar next to her again, this time for real.

"I'm sorry, I just thought of something happy. Let's get back to the topic, August, why do you want to repair the totem pole again? Who gave you the courage?"

He slapped the table with his hand, and the wind chime that had caught the ball of thread next to him ran over and jumped on the table, so he raised his hand and scratched its chin.

There really is no deterrent left at all.

"Your question is unnecessary. I was there when the totem pole was being repaired and nothing happened."

"Oh, you were there? It means you were the one who caused this. You should have seen that dark figure in the Pinewood Mountain ruins before, but you still saw him repairing the totem pole. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I understand. Create difficulties first, and then solve them, and you will become the person who has made meritorious deeds. You are not very young, but you are very thoughtful."

Zhu Jue glanced at Chu Yun and said angrily.

"You don't have any other skills, but you're good at mocking others!"

Chu Yun was not someone who could bear it. She frowned and wanted to show her "quality" to Zhu Jue.

"Stop arguing. Aren't we discussing the impact of this incident now? I hope you two can put in a good word for me. After all, this accident is really not what I want to see. That totem pole We have done multiple tests before re-closing, and even specially invited Officer Chu to come over to do insurance during the repair. No one wants this kind of consequences."

At this point, Zhu Jue also understood what August was thinking. He was just worried that he and Chu Yun would tell the Public Security Bureau that he did not listen to the advice and forcibly repaired the totem pole, which caused the snowstorm.

Although he really didn't mean it, once the people learn the news, they won't care whether you mean it or not. Verbal abuse is considered light. It is not impossible to rush to the Yecheng Grand Library to ask for an explanation. , it will be a huge blow to his reputation as an archaeologist.

"Then it depends on your performance. What happened to the snowstorm this time?"

Zhu Jue's attitude towards August is actually a bit strange now. He repaired the totem pole and brought a blizzard, and this blizzard almost cost him his life. It stands to reason that he should go up and beat his old face now. There was no problem with the punch, but the final outcome was that he not only saved the day, but also gained new abilities from it.

The mixture of love and hate probably refers to the current situation, so after thinking about it, Zhu Jue decided to move the topic to other aspects.

"This is the blizzard summoned by Itacua. In fact I think most of the people who disappeared during the blizzard were related to him."

August actually doesn't want to talk about his sins. In order to save himself from suffering, he is now sparing no effort to show his value in front of Zhu Jue and Chu Yun.

"How to say?"

This was one of the few times Chu Yun heard this name.

I don't know if it was a woman's intuition or some other reason, but she was disgusted by this name.

"A ball of snow suddenly appeared on the altar, an ever-changing, shapeless mass - not just a whirlwind of flying snow, although countless snowflakes were flying up and down around it at the moment. The mass gradually disappeared, as if dissolved In the falling snow, until finally there was nothing on the altar. But I couldn't help but feel frightened: those things were the snowflakes around me, flying everywhere, everywhere."

August pulled out his notes and read out a description of something he had seen before. Compared with the audio-visual stick, he was more interested in writing down some content in his notes. He looked at Zhu Jue and Chu Yun puzzled. eyes, and then said,

"This passage comes from "The Snow Monster" written by my namesake, Mr. Auguste Tres. This is an ancient book hundreds of years ago. The content describes the existence and the existence of the same Auguste Tres. Part of what Mr. Reis wrote in "Things that Walked on the Wind" describes, I'm sure, the same being, the Itaqua that caused the current blizzard."

"The monsters that appear in Yecheng today are recorded in books hundreds of years ago?"

This was the first time Chu Yun had heard this statement. She considered herself a person who loved reading, but she had never read the two books August mentioned. She thought about it and said,

"You mean that this kind of monster has actually existed for a long time, and is not the product of some special experiment in today's era?"

Zhu Jue said nothing, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, waiting for August to explain to him.

"Experimental products. That's just a public statement. Have you ever thought about it. If it was just a pure experimental product, how could there be so many of them? And like this mysterious force that appeared in Yecheng today, if humans created monsters And if it is realized, wouldn’t it be easy for someone with this power to become someone who is superior to the entire federation?”

Having said this, August stopped talking, went to the door of the quiet room and closed the door.

"Then where did these monsters come from?"

Chu Yun is still struggling with this issue, and Zhu Jue is also very interested in it.

"I told you the secret about them. Can you be lenient if I confess?"

His eyes wandered back and forth between Zhu Jue and Chu Yun. August expected to get a promise first.

"I'm not a policeman, I'm not familiar with the people at the Public Security Bureau, and you still owe me three old seals. Why should I report you when I'm full?"

Zhu Jue didn't have the time to go out against August.

"You say, I will consider it based on what you said."

With the ambiguous answer, Chu Yun didn't mean to cheat. In fact, she was more worried that if she agreed as quickly as the guy next to her, August might make up some specious content to excuse them.

"As a third-level executive officer, Officer Chu should have come into contact with those monsters, right?"

"certainly."

"Then do you know the origin of the known list?"

"Compiled by the Public Security Department based on past experience."

"Wrong, the Public Security Bureau had no experience at all when they first met those monsters. They were all lists and information provided by our Archaeological Association!"

August directly interrupted Chu Yun's words, and then casually reported the names and code names of some monsters that were known to be the source of mental pollution and should only be known to internal personnel of the Public Security Department. Among them, there were many monsters that Zhu Jue had hunted before.

"Why does the government give us the Archaeological Association so many privileges? It's because only we can find the descriptions of those monsters hidden in ancient books hundreds of years ago, thereby knowing some of their abilities, and then finding out their weaknesses through analysis !”

"Among these monsters, the lowest level are the common deep divers, human-faced rats and the like. However, even for such low-level monsters, their original bodies can still give the Public Security Bureau a headache, let alone those higher-level monsters. The best example of existence is Itakuya who recently appeared in Yecheng!"

"It's not a monster, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, August became a little excited and then said,

"It is a god! A god that exists in the true sense and cannot be understood or analyzed! It even has its own believers in some parts of the Federation!"

"Hey, stay calm and speak slowly. Chu Yun, go get a mental protection device."

Zhu Jue was a person who had been here before, and he immediately noticed something strange about August. This guy must have had problems with his mental state because of his constant research in this area.

This reminded Zhu Jue subconsciously of the two pages recording methods of communicating with monsters that are still stored in his bedside table.

This aspect of knowledge cannot be studied just by wanting to study it.

The conversation was paused, and Chu Yun ran out to get her mental protection device and put it on August before continuing.

This time the questions were more direct.

Where did those monsters come from?

They have not existed for hundreds of years, and their history of existence must be earlier. Since they have existed for so long, why did they suddenly appear in recent years?

"I can't answer both of these questions. In fact, this is the question that our Archaeological Association is currently looking for answers to. I can only tell you that the origin of these monsters is a mystery, but they woke up in this era. There must be certain reasons for this, at least one point is currently recognized by the Archaeological Association. As time goes by, more and more monsters will wake up!"

Having said this, both Chu Yun and Zhu Jue looked much more serious, and they understood why the government did not announce this kind of news.

If the general public knew that all kinds of monsters would appear around them in the future, someone might make a fuss about such things to achieve their own ulterior motives.

In fact, similar omens have appeared in many places.

"Can we defeat these monsters?"

After listening to August's words, Chu Yun lowered her head and murmured to herself.

Turning to look at Zhu Jue, Chu Yun wanted to know his reaction for some reason.

He also frowned and was silent for a while. Then he suddenly looked up at August and asked, "Those gods do exist, right? In other words, they are alive?"

"Of course I'm alive, I just don't know where I am. What do you mean?"

August didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Jue's question.

"It's just a question, as long as it's alive."

Zhu Jue grinned, his two rows of teeth shining in the sunset.
