Pollution throughout the territory

Xia Ren immediately became energetic: "Fighting? With whom?"

"With Alan Bart, he opened a small shop, mainly selling some souvenirs to tourists. In addition, he also likes to collect some antiques or old gadgets. He has a good relationship with Father Ray Nuttall."

The bartender said: "I have never seen two people quarreling. That was the first time. As soon as they came here, they just drank and seemed to be in a bad mood. Then they didn't know what happened and started arguing fiercely. stand up."

"Do you remember what they argued about?"

"I still remember a little bit."

The bartender showed a recalling expression and said: "Alan Bart seemed to question the priest, saying that it was all his fault for summoning the monster and so on, and then the priest said that if you hadn't found those damn things, none of this would have started. I can’t remember the specifics, but the expressions on both of them at the time were terrifying, almost crazy, and they wanted to eat each other alive. If the people around them hadn’t stopped them, they would probably have fought.”

The bartender sighed: "Since then, I have never seen them again. In the past two days, I heard about the disappearance of the priest and Miller Wright, and Alan Bart has never been here again."

"Summon a monster..."

Xia Ren turned around and looked at Qin Yun.

"Very suspicious."

Qin Yun said.

Xia Ren also nodded.

They originally came here to ask for some information about Thomas Jones and Jack Senman. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly learned that the disappearance of the priest and the novelist may be related to pollution. I wonder if this is a surprise.

It seems that the suspicion of Captain John of the Logistics Department is indeed well founded. If the identity of the novelist Thomas Miller Wright is really a wizard, then the implications will be huge.

The Foundation, the Ageless Society, and the Wizards' Union appear in the same city at the same time. What is the attraction here?

"We'd better find the reason why Jack Senman became a mutant first." Qin Yun suggested.

There is insufficient information in the disappearance case, and if Miller Wright is really a wizard, then Xia Ren's investigation will encounter unknown dangers. Qin Yun does not want him to be involved in any danger, so she wants him to focus on the matter at hand first.

"Well, for now, let's do what you said and find out what happened to Jack that night."

There were no other problems. Qin Yun and Lu Yi finished their glasses of wine and prepared to pay and leave.

The bartender waved his hand and said with a smile: "This time it is given to you for free, so there is no charge."

Qin Yun put her hand into her wallet and took it out again, thanking him.

The bartender paused, his expression gradually became a little worried, and asked: "Are you not ordinary people?"

Xia Ren didn't speak, didn't agree, and didn't mean to deny.

The bartender said: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that... I don't know what happened recently. Tourists were suddenly blocked from entering. I heard that similar situations occurred not only in Esela City, but also in other places. During this period, many cities Many shops here are closed, but more and more people come to my place to drink. Everyone has a sad look on their face, and their mental state is getting worse day by day. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a while."

He then sighed and said: "I don't know if this is normal, but this is the first time I have encountered this situation in so many years. The atmosphere of the city has gradually become unfamiliar, and everyone's anxiety is increasing, but they can't find it. If there is a reason, if we continue like this, maybe something big will happen soon."

As if he was simply looking for someone to talk to, after speaking, he looked at Xia Ren quietly.

Xia Ren understood that he just wanted to find comfort from himself, so he hesitated and said:

"It's okay, everything will be fine."

"That's fine."

A smile appeared on the bartender's face again, as if he had regained his energy, and he joked: "You are lucky to have a woman who loves you deeply."

After saying that, he winked at Qin Yun playfully.

The bartender has been observing them, and Qin Yun's eyes have never left Xia Ren for more than five seconds. This kind of dependence is rare even among young people who are passionately in love.

"?"

Xia Ren was a little confused at first, then turned around and saw Qin Yun smiling. He was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed.

…

…

Walking out of the bar, the sunlight outside was a little bit dazzling.

Although it was broad daylight, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and there were not even many cars.

Xia Ren was about to get in the car, planning to walk around the road between Jack's house and the bar to see if he could find any clues, when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from John, the commander of the logistics force.

"What's up?"

After answering the phone, Xia Ren thought he had found traces of the aberrations, but he didn't expect that what John told him was another news.

"Didn't I just apply for support from above? It turns out that a pollution medicine expert just came to the epidemic isolation point here this morning. Although he belongs to our foundation, he was invited by the Superman Association. I don't know why he was not notified. This is my case. As soon as I reported what happened here, the pollution medical expert contacted me and took over the research on the monster."

John couldn't figure out what was going on, and his words were a bit confusing: "After he heard your name, he asked me to call you to the laboratory. He has very high authority, so I had to inform you immediately."

"High authority?" Xia Ren repeated.

"Yes, it seems to be...S-level."

"If it's S-level..."

Xia Ren didn't know many S-class people, there were only three in total, but after hearing John talk about pollution medicine, he had an idea.

"Where is the laboratory? I'll be there right away."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, John quickly sent him the address.

"who is it?"

Qin Yun asked.

Xia Ren turned the car around and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be an old friend who once saved my life."

"What? Have you ever been in danger of your life?"

Qin Yun suddenly became nervous.

"It's in the past."

Xia Ren only told her about the dangers he encountered on the way to the foundation headquarters before, but did not go into details about what happened after that, so he told her that he had just woken up at the headquarters and that Dr. Liao planned to take him to the eighteenth level. When I met the doctor, I met the traitor within the foundation.

It was when he was at his weakest. If Dr. Liao hadn't seen through it, he might have been assassinated by a traitor.

After hearing this, Qin Yun looked a little scared.

"I didn't expect there to be traitors in the Foundation."

Xia Ren himself didn't care much: "With so many people in the Foundation, it would be strange if there aren't a few traitors."

According to the location John posted, several people drove outside the city. After passing through a winding road and a dense forest, they saw the research room.

This is a two-story building that looks unremarkable on the outside, like a small processing factory.

All the windows in the room had their curtains drawn, and the scene inside could not be seen. Outside the gate, the truck that had previously transported the sealing equipment was parked, and there was also a white van.
