Pollution throughout the territory

Half, ahem!

Half an hour later, Xia Ren got dressed and the two of them went downstairs together.

He had just briefly understood what happened after he fell into coma. The neurofungus in Lily's body had been eliminated with blue gems, and the remaining yellow residue was nothing to worry about.

And the body of Aikawa Riko, which had been wrapped in his tentacles, was also properly preserved by the foundation. There would be no problems for the time being. When Xia Ren learned the news, he was really relieved. Aikawa Riko's body was still alive. It was of great use. When he was in that dream, he had been worried about what to do if the body was cremated or buried, but fortunately his worries did not come true.

Qin Yun looked at him with resentful eyes and said, "Lu Yi has been acting strange since you came back."

"Huh? What a strange method?"

"I can't explain it in a sentence or two. You will know it by yourself later."

After Qin Yun finished speaking, she ignored Xia Ren and walked quickly to the front.

Xia Ren looked at her twisting waist and plump curves of her buttocks, and shook his head.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, if we have just reached that point, it is not impossible to just pick up the gun and mount the horse. After all, they have been together for long enough and they understand each other relatively well. If they go deeper, both parties will be happy.

but!

But Xia Ren will not forget that Qin Yun has no real entity. The reason why she can act in public now depends entirely on Lily.

At that time, it was Lily who separated part of the organization and integrated it with Qin Yun, so that Qin Yun could appear in the eyes of ordinary people.

In other words, if Xia Ren really couldn't help it, what happened just now was not actually 1V1, but a multiplayer sport.

Lily is only so old, it's almost criminal.

Xia Ren looked at the sky, feeling very melancholy.

Brother Changshou, you should make faster progress...

It was a winter afternoon, the warm sunshine was shining on the ground, and many people in the community came out to bask in the sun.

The old men and women gathered together and talked about Qin Yun, who was wearing a white down jacket and tight jeans.

After all, she looked exactly like the woman who was burned to death in the community before. Even the property management and the police station were called in to confirm the situation.

In order to avoid trouble, Qin Yun had to explain to them that she was the twin sister of the original woman who was burned to death. She also called the bald Judge Tang, the head of Jupiter City's logistics team, to prove it.

Now everyone has no reason not to believe it. No matter how far-fetched the explanation of the twins is, it is still more reasonable than the dead woman jumping around in the sun again.

Moreover, Qin Yun bought a house here less than three years ago. During her lifetime, she often left early and came home late. Her life was divided between home and laboratory. She didn't like to dress up. Sometimes she would go out with messy hair. But now Qin Yun's temperament is very different from before. Lily's body is not stained by the world, and her skin is fair and firm. Not to mention acne, there are not even large pores on her body.

The contrast between before and after is too strong, and it really doesn't look like the same person. However, although most of the residents in the community believe it, they can't help but use it as a talking point in private.

Every time Qin Yun goes out, she will attract a lot of talk from them.

But today the situation is slightly different.

Everyone quickly turned their attention to the man behind her.

There is no other reason. This man looks so handsome.

If Qin Yun hadn't been by Xia Ren's side, those old ladies would have lost their patience and came forward to talk to him.

Of course, it's not that those old ladies really have evil intentions towards Xia Ren, but wouldn't it be a pity for such an outstanding young man not to try to be a matchmaker.

Not paying attention to the actions of the people around him, Qin Yun led the way and took Xia Ren to the small playground built by the community specifically for children.

In January, the weather returned to cold, and the temperature dropped a lot compared to the previous New Year period. Adults were afraid that their children would be cold, so they kept them at home.

There are only two slides in the playground, and then there is a sandy area, horizontal bars and parallel bars. In addition, there are basically no people, so it seems a bit empty.

Lu Yi was sitting in a daze on the sit-up stand. Her black hair was tied into a single ponytail. She wore a brown-gray plaid woolen coat on her upper body, a black sweater underneath, and a straight skirt on her lower body that reached just above her knees. Wearing flesh-colored leggings on her legs and a pair of high-top shoes on her feet.

Xia Ren felt that she wanted to dress more sexy, but she didn't know if she didn't know how to match it, so she looked a bit nondescript now.

But Lu Yi is good-looking, so what she wears is secondary.

And Lily was playing on the elephant slide.

The little girl looks about three or four years old. She has long, fluffy green wavy hair. She is wearing a small down jacket. She is very cute.

She dexterously climbed up to the elephant's head, then pushed her buttocks up and slid down the ladder on the elephant's trunk. However, because the angle of the slide was designed to be somewhat unreasonable, when she came out, her feet got stuck on the ground and her body was thrust forward. He leaned forward under the influence of the force and was about to fall.

The little guy kicked his feet on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and ran forward for several steps without losing his momentum. Instead, he lost his footing and fell face first into the mud.

Xia Ren looked at it and felt a little thump in his heart. No wonder no children came to this place.

"Well……"

An ordinary child would have had two front teeth knocked out no matter what, but Lily got up from the ground and patted the dirt on her body as if nothing had happened.

Where her face was just now, a depression had been made in the ground. This was definitely not the first time the little guy had played like this.

She was about to go back and play again when she saw Xia Ren and Qin Yun not far away looking over here.

After a pause for a few seconds, Xia Ren was wondering why Lily didn't pounce immediately as usual, when he saw her suddenly inhale, clenching her two small fists, reaching down to the back of her buttocks, accumulating strength, and turning her back to the sky, "Wow" A cry broke out.

"???"

Xia Ren's head was filled with questions.

What expansion is this?

When did Lily become so fragile?

Xia Ren looked at Qin Yun aside, and the first thing he thought of was to ask her.

As a result, Qin Yun raised her chin towards Lu Yi, indicating that she wanted to ask her about this matter.

There were more question marks on Xia Ren's forehead.

Where is this?

Lily cried for two seconds and secretly opened her eyes. Seeing that Xia Ren didn't come over, she immediately changed her face and stopped crying. With tears still in her eyes, she ran to Lu Yi's legs and said in a childish voice: " Sister Lu, the method you said doesn’t work, my brother doesn’t like me more.”

Lu Yi said angrily: "You only cried for two seconds and you couldn't help it anymore, and you still want to be favored by being so quiet? You have no energy!"

Just as he was talking, Xia Ren came over with Qin Yun, facing more and more questions.

"What's going on? Lu Yi, when did you become so emotional?"

In Xia Ren's impression, Lu Yi is like a maid. Most of the time, she sits quietly aside as a beautiful sight. She is a bit stupid and rarely speaks.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi glared at him: "I want you to control, wife control, LSP."

But then, she quickly waved her hands and explained with a panicked expression: "Yeah, boss, what I just said was not mine."

Like split personality.

Xia Ren looked at Lu Yi's eyes and found an imperceptible crack in the center of her right eye.

Qin Yun explained: "She has been like this since you came back. Suddenly she has a new personality. I don't know what happened, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous, so I didn't take any coercive measures. I wanted to wait for you to wake up. Come and see if there's anything we can do."

Xia Ren nodded, then thought of a possibility, and said slightly surprised: "Wish-answering mirror?"

When he woke up, the crack in the center of his vision disappeared. Xia Ren knew that the wishing mirror had left his body, and thought she had run away again, but unexpectedly she possessed Lu Yi.

"snort!"

The latter shook his head proudly, his ponytail dangling in the air, and his hair spread beautifully.

"I just called your name, why are you so proud?"

Xia Ren was speechless.

It seems that the system is doing a good job at least in terms of containing objects. As long as the containment is confirmed, the contained objects will no longer get lost easily.

"boss……"

Lu Yi, who looked arrogant just now, became aggrieved, twisting the corners of his clothes uneasily with his hands, for fear of making his boss angry, and the huge amount of money he could receive every month would be gone.

"It's okay, I quite like it."

Xia Ren touched the maid's head and comforted her.

Such extreme personality contrasts converge into one person, it’s simply amazing!

In other words, cuteness by contrast?

"Get your dirty hands off!"

Da Yuanjing looked very annoyed about having her head touched, but her body belonged to Lu Yi after all. She spoke fiercely, but her expression looked like she was enjoying herself. She even took the initiative to raise her head and squinted at Xia Ren's palm. Rub on.

"Spineless. He only gives you such a small amount of money a month, which is not enough to hire a sweeper. Why do you listen to him so much?"

Da Yuanjing had an angry tone and tried hard to sow the relationship between master and servant.

"Huh?"

Lily on the side tilted her head when she heard this.

Do you still get paid for sweeping the floor?

Lu Yi was a little anxious and said to himself: "Well, actually that's not the case. The boss still gives me a lot of money, and he doesn't let me do strange things. He also lets me eat well every day, and …”

She waved her fingers, as if she was planning to tell Xia Ren's benefits to her one by one. Da Yuanjing was so angry with her that she simply stopped talking.

"Not bad."

Xia Ren patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and was very satisfied with her loyalty: "Keep working hard. If you perform well after a period of time, you will get a salary increase."

He opened his mouth and drew a pie.

Lu Yi's eyes suddenly brightened, he showed his little tiger teeth and smiled happily.

For a moment, Xia Ren had the illusion that flowers were blooming, like a spring breeze.

Lu Yi is usually taciturn, but his smile is really contagious.

"Ahem."

He brought his thinking back on track and asked, "Wish Mirror, since we are all a family, we should help each other, right?"

The latter immediately retorted: "Bah, bah, bah, who is your family?"

Lily looked up at the side and felt that she didn't quite understand their conversation, so she ran over and hugged Qin Yun's leg.

Qin Yun looked at Lu Yi, as if thinking about something.

Seeing that Sister Qin was not hugging her, Lily felt bored, so she ran to continue playing on the slide.

Da Yuanjing obviously knew his past, and he was lucky enough to bump into him and was taken in. Of course Xia Ren had to ask carefully to see if he could get any key information, but unfortunately, the other party was not willing to cooperate at all.

"Fine."

Xia Ren is not in a hurry now. Anyway, the days are still long and there is nowhere to go to answer the wish mirror. There is always a chance to ask.

He changed another condition: "Can you get off my maid, and I will find you a mirror to stay in?"

He could see just now that Du Yuanjing always wanted to encourage Lily and Lu Yi to do bad things and sow discord between a few people. Lu Yi didn't have to worry. The maid's little head was so simple that there were no twists and turns and she couldn't hide things. , but Lily is still young and has a strong learning ability. Xia Ren is really worried that she will learn badly. When the time comes, she will do the classic Shoggoth Devourer. He doesn't want to end up like the ancient one.

Although the possibility is slim, Lily has great potential for growth and cannot be ignored.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Da Yuan Jing looked like a little person, but you couldn't hide my proud expression, and said: "Don't you just want to use my ability to make me change into various shapes you like? I know your XP clearly. Tell you to dream!"

"ha?"

Xia Ren was about to deny it, but then suddenly realized that the wishing mirror could still play this way.

At this moment, Lily ran down the slide and stopped beside Xia Ren's legs. She raised her head and blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Lily can also turn into the shape that my brother likes~"

Xia Ren recalled the scene upstairs not long ago, and his head was full of black lines: "Go, go, children are not allowed to get on the bus."

"oh."

Lily walked away aggrievedly.

As if not wanting Xia Ren and Lu Yi to have any more communication, Qin Yun reminded: "Before she left, the woman named Jiufeng said that if you wake up, you should contact the doctor."

"Right."

Xia Ren patted his forehead. Although the Dallas incident seemed to be over on the surface, there were still many aftermaths that needed to be dealt with.

For example, Riko Aikawa.

For example, the yellow fungus I found on the dream flower.

There are also things that the housing agency promised itself.

In addition, there is also the outside god named Nyarlathotep. Why does he like him so much? The doctor may know some inside stories, or some information about the outside god.

"Are the things I asked you to take before here?"

Xia Ren turned around and asked.

Qin Yun shook her head: "That thing will emit pollution when it leaves the room, so I put it back in my hometown."

Xia Ren touched his chin and then said, "Then let's go back to our hometown and have a look."

Taking Lily and Lu Yi, the four of them took a bus together.

"I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know how my sister is doing lately, and Yu Jingjing."

With the old seals given by him, it should be impossible for the two of them to be infected with atypical insect phobia.

As for Gao Le, another close friend who grew up together, I have never seen him again since he learned that he became a gardener.

As the sun set, Xia Ren stood in front of the gate of Jingwan Community, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Looking at the familiar scenery, he felt that things were different.

Although I was away for only about a month, it seemed like a long time.

"It would be great if there was no pollution in the world."

Xia Ren sighed and walked in with Qin Yun and the others.

Uncle Qin had just returned from a walk with his golden retriever Wangcai. When he saw their figures from a distance, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"It showed up again."

Uncle Qin looked solemn.

The mysterious woman incident has been silent for two months. I thought that everyone's life would be peaceful in the future, but I didn't expect that the two ghostly figures of a man and a woman would return again at this time.

The strange lights in the house on the fifth floor are about to turn on again, and the terrifying shadow is about to envelope the entire community again.

Uncle Qin felt a heavy sense of mission pressing on his shoulders.

"Everyone's safety will be protected by me!"

Seeing that his master was motionless, Wangcai squatted beside him and yawned lazily.

…

…

When the key is inserted into the lock, the door opens with a familiar click.

"Ah, I'm finally back."

Xia Ren walked over, threw himself on the soft sofa, and immediately regained the original feeling.

Qin Yun opened the curtains and windows to let in the air.

Because I brought Lily back to clean it a few days ago, the house is still clean, the floor is as bright as new, and there is no dust.

The hanging rope was still tied on the balcony, showing no sign of the owner's return, as if it was just an ordinary clothesline.

Xia Ren then came to the study room.

Everything in the study was still the same as when he left. The bookshelf was filled with books left by Zhao Mingyue and a copy of Fang Bin's wife's pregnancy notes.

The tragic doll that looked like a prince was also leaning on the bookshelf, its two purple eyes filled with light as it stared at him quietly.

The other contained objects were also put back to their original positions by Qin Yun. This room had a magical power for some reason, and no polluted breath would escape.

Xia Ren walked to the desk, sat on a familiar chair, and turned on the computer.

The screen still lights up and booting up is still just as fast.

The Ancient One's crystal and the Faceless One's mask were placed against the wall, like two artistic crafts.

Touching the keyboard with his hands, he seemed to recall the days when he spent all night coding here.

He spent the first terrifying night in this room that he would never forget, sealed the first second-category infectious agent in this room, entered the ancient dream world for the first time, and made many decisions. in this room.

By the way, speaking of updating the time he was in coma, the archives should have been used up long ago. In other words, he has been out of work for a few days.

Calling up the system page in his mind, the system-given leave request note was indeed gone, but the pursuer didn't come to kill him either.

"Did the system really fool me?"

Xia Ren no longer knows which words the system says should be believed and which words should not be believed.

But for now, the system is at least helping it grow, and it doesn't want itself to die. It can't get rid of it anyway, so it can only take one step at a time.

Opening the desk drawer, Xia Ren took out a transparent glass bottle.

Inside the bottle is a small piece of leather paper, about five centimeters long and three centimeters wide. There are only three strings of obscure words written on it that look like symbols. These words should not belong to Blue Star.

This is the thing that Xia Ren asked Qin Yun to come back to pick up before, because there is only the last 10% progress left before the first chapter of the Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Manual is fully unlocked. He urgently needs the magic book to complete it, but in a short time I couldn't find anything else within the time, so I could only think of this fragment that I accidentally found while investigating the ghoul cub Zhang Xiang.

However, these three fragments are too short, and the possibility of completing the first chapter is very small, but Xia Ren can only do this.

There is only a little hope and I have to try.

At that time, he had no other choice.

Although the process was tortuous and this trick was not used, the matter was solved, but the book still needs to be read.

Xia Ren opened the cork, and the stench suddenly filled the room.

"Did you poop in the room?"

Lu Yi opened the door and came in, cursing.

Lily also stretched her head to look over, her eyes scanning the ground.

Xia Ren knew that what she just said was said by Da Yuanjing, and there was no need to care about it, so he asked her to close the door and go out.

"I'm sorry, boss..."

Lu Yi blushed and apologized.

Then he put on an unhappy expression and said to himself: "You guys, you don't know that he used to..."

Xia Ren immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to hear it.

As a result, Da Yuanjing didn't know if she was angry with him, so she deliberately didn't say anything further.

"Why did Zhao Mingyue find such a containment object and put it in his home?"

Xia Ren sighed, not quite understanding the inexplicable hostility of Da Yuanjing. He probably didn't provoke her, but she provoked him several times.

There is another question before him, whether Yu Jingjing should give back the personality that was taken away.

"Melancholy."

Xia Ren decided not to think about these things for the time being and focus on the present.

The leather paper is unfolded in the hand and feels a little greasy. The surface is smooth but has many wrinkles.

He guessed that the material should be made of the skin of Apes erectus, because most of the skins of other animals are covered with hair, and even after treatment, they cannot be so smooth and delicate.

Because something unusual happened the last time he tried to read, Xia Ren was more careful this time and concentrated.

Moreover, Lily and the others are outside, and their strength is much stronger than before, which can ensure that even if an accident occurs, nothing will happen to them.

He adjusted himself and stared at the three paragraphs above.

The space in front of me seemed to be distorted, and the three unfamiliar words seemed to have undergone some strange changes.

Xia Ren felt the cold breath emanating from the leather paper in his hand and pouring into his body.

In a daze, he seemed to have come to a horrible cave full of fishy stench.

The abominable creature wearing a black cloak held a dirty grimoire in its hands and recited the words in the book in a high-pitched voice. The bizarre language was definitely not something that humans could utter.

A crazy sound like the echo of hell echoed in Xia Ren's ears:

"Ya na kadishtu nilgh"""ri

stell""""bsna kn""""aa Nyogtha

k"""yarnak phlegethor..."

He murmured along uncontrollably:

"Ya na kadishtu nilgh"""ri

【I know nothing】

stell""""bsna kn""""aa Nyogtha

[I asked Nyogda]

k"""yarnak phlegethor...

[Share what we are thinking...]"

Coldness filled the air, and a sneaky darkness crawled crazily in the corners of the study.

Countless thin tentacles stretched out from the darkness. They seemed to be cheering and were about to grab Xia Ren's legs and drag him into the endless abyss.

Behind Xia Ren's head, the healed tentacles grew out with a roar, and with a gentle sweep of the tail, the darkness was pushed back.

"Snapped!"

He closed his palms and stopped reading.

The creeping darkness retreated unwillingly to its original position, the coldness gradually dissipated, and the study gradually returned to normal.

Only the strong smell of pollution in the air proved that what just happened was not a fantasy.

Xia Ren took a deep breath, and his chaotic mind returned to calm.

On the system page, the unlocking progress of the first chapter of Xuanjun's Seven Chapters Secret Scripture has reached 91%, which has only increased a little.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

Originally, he didn't have much hope of success, but Xia Ren was not discouraged.

But, who is Nyogda mentioned on the paper? Just mentioning His name can produce such strange phenomena.

Could it be the name of the old god?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened.
