Pollution throughout the territory

There are two bedrooms, a bathroom, a utility room, and a study room on the second floor. Xia Ren searched around and found nothing of value except a few hard drives in a locked drawer in the study room.

There was an attic above. Xia Ren put the hard drive in his pocket, walked up the stairs, pulled off the door lock, and opened the low door at the entrance.

He looked at the small dark space inside, and suddenly felt a panic in his heart.

The shouts of two security guards have begun to appear below. They want to attract more people's attention to ensure their safety. More people will soon participate. If the superintendent arrives first, , it would be difficult for Liu Xiuxiu and the two members of the logistics department to resist alone.

There can be no delay.

Xia Ren relied on his night vision ability and walked directly into the attic.

This small room is well designed, with a trapezoid shape as a whole. There is a skylight on the slope, which is sealed with wooden boards. However, for some unknown reason, the wooden boards were damaged. Only half of it is still playing its original role, and the other half fell to the ground. , there are traces of breakage in the middle, as if someone had torn it off with violence.

The pale moonlight shone through half of the window into the attic, so Xia Ren could clearly see the scene inside.

It looks like it has been cleaned frequently. Except for the air being a little dull, the rest of the place is spotless and extremely simple. There is only a desk and a chair placed on the left wall, but there are no books placed on the desk.

There are signs of wear on the edge of the desk and the paint on the seat of the chair, indicating that someone often sits here. If expected, it should be Lebo, the principal of Dawn Center.

Xia Ren stepped forward, feeling more and more frightened, as if he was approaching some kind of danger.

Such an obvious clue must not be given up. The Dawn Center is involved with the ghoul. Maybe he can find the ghoul through Laibo. Xia Ren calmed down and opened the desk drawer.

In an instant, a cold breath was released and flowed from Xia Ren's cheek, causing him to subconsciously take a step back and look around vigilantly.

The system did not give any prompt, indicating that he was not contaminated, but what was that coldness that penetrated the bone marrow?

Since his life was not in danger, Xia Ren no longer hesitated and reached out to fumble in the drawer, but didn't touch anything.

"empty?"

There is only this one drawer on the desk, it can't be empty.

Xia Ren thought calmly for a few seconds, then simply pulled out the entire drawer, and sure enough, he found a palm-long hidden compartment at the end of the drawer.

"It must be something important hidden in such a secret place."

Xia Ren opened the wooden compartment and looked intently under the pale moonlight. There seemed to be only a small thing inside.

He stretched out two fingers to take out the thing and found that it looked like a small piece of leather paper, about three centimeters wide and five centimeters long. As soon as it was exposed to the air, it began to emit an unpleasant rancid smell.

"That's all?"

Xia Ren was a little hard to understand.

He looked at both sides of the leather paper and found that there was some kind of text-like symbol engraved on one side. Looking carefully, he could barely tell that it was composed of three strings of letters, which were exactly the same as the stroke text commonly used by Blue Star today. Different, part of it cannot be seen clearly due to dirt.

ya na kadishtu…ri

stell…bsna kn…aa nyogtha

k...yarnak phlegethor

At first glance, it seemed obscure and completely incomprehensible. Xia Ren tried to read it as syllables, but failed completely by the third word.

Just when he was about to give up, the letters in front of him seemed to be distorted, and Xia Ren suddenly felt that he could understand them.

"I know nothing

I ask...

Share what we’re thinking…”

The darkness in the corner of the attic surged quietly as if it was alive, and pitch-black shadows spread on the floor, like tentacles waving wildly, slowly stretching to Xia Ren's feet.

Xia Ren's eyes were dull and his lips were trembling. Just when he was about to repeat this paragraph in words, the system's warning suddenly unfolded in his mind.

【warn! The host has been contaminated, and the current pollution value is 7/100. 】

The surging darkness solidified again, the waving tentacles on the floor quickly disappeared, and the small attic room returned to normal.

This string of warnings directly brought Xia Ren back to reality.

When he came to his senses, cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes. Even with the strengthening of the rootless water in his body, he still felt a chill down his spine.

With his palms sweating and his heart pounding, Xia Ren realized that if he had recited that paragraph just now, something terrible would definitely happen.

"But……"

He looked at the piece of paper again, and the letters on it became unintelligible again.

"I clearly knew what it meant just now, why can't I remember it now?"

Excluding the pollution caused by the Rootless Water, he had increased the pollution value by five points this time. His head felt swollen and painful. This feeling seemed familiar. The morning after sealing up the little boy Liu Xuan and obtaining the Mask of the Faceless Man, he felt I woke up and saw a huge human silhouette floating on the horizon. After the illusion disappeared, a text suddenly appeared in my head. The text seemed to be explaining the illusion I had seen, but when I couldn't help but retell it, it turned out to be nothing. It was contaminated and I still can’t figure out why.

"It seems that there are some things that cannot be said, thought, or understood."

Xia Ren could only comfort himself with the words of the system. The less he knew, the longer he could live.

He looked back at the leather paper in his hand, hesitated, and stuffed it into his other trouser pocket to separate it from the hard drive he found on the second floor.

"This is definitely an important clue. Maybe it's about ghouls. Lebo often sits alone in a chair and looks through this paper. Maybe he doesn't know the meaning."

Based on what happened to him, if Lebo had understood, he would have already completely lost his mind and gone crazy. Not everyone has a system and such a high resistance to pollution like him.

Especially if those few paragraphs were recited just now, the consequences would be even more serious.

"The question is where did he get it from or who gave it to him and for what purpose?"

Even though Xia Ren has experienced so many pollution incidents in less than three months from July to now, there are some elements that he actively looked for. Judging from the population base of the entire Jupiter City, if ordinary people Trying to be exposed to things related to pollution is almost like winning the lottery jackpot.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the alien sect Liu Xiuxiu mentioned. Laibo is very likely to be involved in the ghoul alien sect. This way, the bloody scene downstairs and the disappearance of his own brain can also be reasonably explained."

The chaotic sounds downstairs reached the attic, and the buzzing of police sirens was approaching. Time was running out, and they had better leave as soon as possible.

Xia Ren walked downstairs. Liu Xiuxiu had searched all the rooms on the first floor and found nothing.

"Have you caught those two security guards?"

Xia Ren asked.

Liu Xiuxiu nodded: "I caught him. He's in the yard outside now."

After taking a look at the corpses placed strangely in the living room, Xia Ren walked out of the room and saw two passed out security guards on the vegetable patch in the courtyard. Outside the door were security guards and some owners who heard the noise. Support staff blocked the door. Currently negotiating.

"There's still time."

Xia Ren thought about it and told Liu Xiuxiu: "Go and wake up one of the security guards first, and then I'll take a look at the scene."

When Liu Xiuxiu left, Xia Ren turned around, his eyeballs dissolved, and large blood drops continued to drip from the dark and empty eye sockets.
