Chapter 655 Greeting Yama

"It's 5:00 p.m., orange rainstorm warning, please pay attention to travel safety."

In the dimly lit entrance, the mobile phone with the screen on was faithfully reporting real-time weather conditions. A middle-aged man in a brown jacket with a gloomy face bent down to put a waterproof plastic bag on his leather shoes, and put a black umbrella beside him.

"Sievers, your residence card is still on the table, how can you forget this?"

The woman ran out of the kitchen with her resident ID to remind her.

Sievers turned to look at his wife, as if he hadn't realized it, he was stunned for two seconds before speaking: "Sorry, I don't know. I forgot."

"Hey, after you got home two days ago, you were in a bad state. Is it because you saw those ghosts?"

Seeing her husband's darkened eye circles and sluggish mental state, his wife sorted out his coat with some distress, stuffed his residence card into his trouser pocket, and said softly,
"You'll be fine after you've been injected with the medicine later. Mr. Newcastle from the Epidemic Prevention Station said on the news yesterday that their medicine can improve people's mental state."

"I know, don't worry."

He hugged his wife, picked up the umbrella and pushed open the door.

Call ~
The oncoming wind and rain made Sivers, who had just opened the umbrella, a little unsteady. He quickly tilted the umbrella forward, wrapped his jacket tightly with his empty left hand, and the cold wind was still persistent
The sky was gloomy, at least Sievers, who lives in Community No. 17, had never seen such weather.

The street lights on the street were turned on early, and the light passed through the heavy rain, only illuminating a small area. The shops on both sides were closed. Today is a special day, and no one is open.

Sievers frowned and looked at the dark street not far away. He couldn't see the road ahead, so he suddenly felt a sense of urgency that he might as well go back.

However, he only asked for leave today. In the first half of the day, because of the heavy wind and rain, it was finally a little lighter now, so he had to bite the bullet and trot along the side of the street, aiming at the nearby bus station.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and after 5 minutes, Sievers could see the virtual light board marking the bus stop, but compared to the desertedness of the past, today it was full of people.

There is no doubt that these people have to rush to the government's medical point, and even an empty boat is not easy to use in this weather, and the bus has become a popular means of travel.

Sievers rushed over. Since this was only a small bus stop on the street, there were not many people inside, so he could only wait outside with an umbrella, watching the bus arrival time displayed on the light board, Sievers His gaze unconsciously fell on those people sheltering from the rain under the roof of the platform.

The jade Buddha card hanging on the chest, the cross necklace, the string of beads wrapped around the hands, and even some religious patterns tattooed on the shoulders.

As ghosts appear more and more frequently in the lower city, this kind of things sell especially well. Sievers has also read some religious classics, and even learned from some ancient legends that ghosts should be under the jurisdiction of Hell, the underworld. That's what the "Guide to Religious Culture" says.

Recalling the content on the pages of the book, Sievers' eyes were more attracted by the fluorescent ghost tattoos on the chests of several young people.

This probably meant to suppress evil with evil, but the hideous pattern really made him uncomfortable. He couldn't help recalling the group of memories he saw when drinking with friends two days ago, and forced himself to focus from there. Move away on several fluorescent tattoos.

And as the attention returned to himself, Sievers soon found that many people around him were looking at him, to be precise, looking at the position of his back, as if there was something there.

what happened?
The moment this thought came to his mind, the clamminess on his back suddenly came to his mind, Sievers was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand to touch it.

From the trousers to the neck, I don't know when it was soaked by the rain, and he was wearing beige trousers when he went out, so it's no wonder that other people looked at him.

The problem is that he held an umbrella on the way here and leaned forward on purpose, in order to cover the wind and rain as much as possible. It stands to reason that even if it wasn't fully covered, it should be because the front of him was wet by the wind and rain, and he couldn't get behind it anyway.
Drop~
Before Sievers could think of a reason, the bus pulled into the station at this time, squeezed into the bus, and grabbed a seat to sit down.

Xu Shi finally found a place where he could breathe a sigh of relief. The passengers chatted in twos and threes, talking about all kinds of weird things that happened in the downtown area recently, and some people exclaimed from time to time.

At this time, Sievers had no intention of participating in it at all, and his eyes were fixed on the sliding rain on the car window, which was clearly the opposite direction from when he came!
Two beams of lights suddenly lit up on the street outside the window, and they were also reflected on the car window, causing many passengers to cast their gazes over. Immediately afterwards, some people said that it was the truck of Wu's aircraft, and somehow it was still in this state. The weather was working, but Sievers was stunned in his seat, looking at the passengers around him in a panic, trying to see the expressions he wanted on their faces.

Because Sievers sees things differently than everyone else.
In his eyes, the truck was surrounded by a cloud of black mist, and there were a few twisted tentacles extending outward from time to time. It was a truck full of the most terrifying things in the world!

What is going on here?
A sense of panic occupied Sievers' entire brain. He wanted to tell other people the news, but he was also worried that they would report him as a lunatic. potion
That's right, it must be because I saw those monsters before, it's just a hallucination caused by some insanity.

As long as you can get the potion, you should be able to recover.

Isn't he on the way to get the medicine?

Tremblingly lit a cigarette, the shredded tobacco curled and burned, and the slight dizziness when exhaling the smoke barely relieved Sievers' state.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. He didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen. When the bus arrived, he went to the medical point with the others. Coming from that direction.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Until turning a street corner, several power armors about two meters high broke through the rain and flew across the street. Behind them was a group of heavily armed guard soldiers, and there were reconnaissance robot balls suspended in midair, constantly releasing High power lights illuminate most areas on the street at the same time.

Sievers immediately became nervous, it was obviously not an ordinary incident that could make the Ministry of Security treat it like this.

It's just that he didn't hear gunshots, and these soldiers were just patrolling nearby, as if a battle was about to break out.

Moving forward, the lights of the medical point and hospital are very bright. Under the heavy rain and gloomy sky, it is like a lighthouse on the dark sea, which makes people feel a lot more relaxed for no reason. past.

Unsurprisingly, a large number of people were crowded at the entrance of the medical point at this time. Fortunately, the Qianfan City government had already responded by not only separating the crowd with physical iron bars, but also specially deploying a large number of bionics and security personnel to cooperate. .

However, what really caught the eye was the army of androids that stood still in the rainstorm. Sievers had seen them on the news. The bionic troop also placed large orders with the three major machinery groups, requesting to manufacture another batch within a short period of time.

Order is deliberately emphasized here.

Sievers stood among the crowd holding an umbrella, not far from the greenhouse built by the government, listening to the complaints of other people around him.

The weather is bad, medicines are too expensive, rich people have door-to-door delivery services, and the government doesn't care what the poor think. Such topics are very popular among the crowd who have to wait in line in the rain.

I heard that some people on the Internet have started to sell medicines with limited rations, and the prices are extremely high. They said that they did not use them for their family members to exchange for money, but the volume of shipments is not small. Those who don’t know think that his family has hundreds of them. a relative.

Obviously, some people obtained part of the medicine through internal channels, and even sold it at ten or even twenty times the price, but there are still a lot of people in the satellite cities near Qianfan City Banknotes snapped up.

In the usual way, Sievers would have to step in and talk to them, not to mention criticizing the reality, but he would definitely pull a few people out to scold them.

However, today, all he wants to do is to rush in and inject the medicine, and then take his family's medicine back with him.

The speed of the crowd's movement was not fast. After all, it was a rainstorm and the visibility was low. Even if there were personnel maintaining order, rubbing against each other was inevitable. Sievers lowered the handle of the umbrella and huddled under the ribs of the umbrella. The clammy touch had already made Sievers very uncomfortable, and he could only use this method to avoid being drenched in more rain.

And just as Sievers shrank and moved forward, a sense of trance appeared inexplicably, and the buzzing sound kept circling in his mind, which made him turn back and forth uncontrollably, twitching heavily. Smoking a cigarette, watching the rain outside drown out the smoke he exhaled, nausea and irritability kept rushing into his heart.

"What's the matter, what the hell?"

After cursing a few words in a low voice, Sievers always felt that something was wrong, and unconsciously looked around, trying to find the source of uneasiness.

So he saw a man under a street lamp not far away.

His attire is not special, it can even be said to be so common that it can be seen everywhere, but Sievers' eyes are fixed on him, to be exact, his side.

Under the light of the street lamp, there was clearly only one person, but Sievers saw a dozen or so shadowy shadows!

what is that?
"Hey! The one in front, hurry up, if you want to get caught in the rain, go to the side, we don't have time to wait with you!"

The people behind the line saw that Sievers hadn't moved for a long time and shouted, but the latter had to turn around and continue to follow without thinking about it.

After entering the medical point, the rest is simple. Modern medical technology ensures that the whole process is very smooth.

What Sievers has to do is to take out his resident card, follow the crowd after scanning, walk past a machine one by one, put his arm into it, and leave after seeing the indicator light turn green after a brief tingling , and then show the resident certificates of other family members to receive the medicine, and you can inject it yourself when you go back.

Only one person per household is allowed to come and collect. This is the government's decision to prevent overcrowding.

As the crowd left from the other side of the main entrance of the medical point, Sievers was carrying a plastic bag. He didn't know whether it was psychological factors or the medicine had played a role. Sievers felt much better, and the heavy rain outside seemed not so disturbing. unbearable.

"Hey, Annie, I'll be home right away, and get ready for dinner, everything is going well."

Sievers, who was in a better mood, couldn't wait to report to his wife that he was safe. During the conversation, he still couldn't hold back his gaze and looked at the weird man under the street lamp.

He is still there.

Just beside the passing crowd, with his hands raised high, together with the looming figures around him, his body exudes a black-purple mist.

The distance between the two sides was too far, and Sievers could only take a rough look and didn't understand what he was doing, but the goose bumps all over his body reminded him of the imminent danger in another way.

There was a sudden pause.

The black umbrella in his hand floated into the sky. It wasn't that Sievers couldn't hold it tightly, but that a gust of wind suddenly blew up around him. Not only him, but the crowd around him were also staggering. Not only the umbrella, some people even had the medicine in their hands. The bags were all blown out of sight.

Exclamations echoed in the crowd, but Sievers felt that all the voices were moving away from him at this moment.

On the contrary, there was some kind of strange sound resounding inside his body.

Another gust of wind came from the opposite direction, and Sievers staggered forward and knelt down on the ground. In the next second, a cold feeling appeared all over his body. The strong vomiting made him retch continuously, and his saliva was mixed. The cloudy liquid kept slipping from the corner of his mouth.

There is a problem with the medicine!
This was the first thing Sievers thought of. The reason was very simple. With the light of the medical point, he could see that the people on the other side were normal, only the people on their side were kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone stay calm! Stand still and withdraw to the medical point in an orderly manner!"

The soldiers of the security department sensed that something was wrong and began to maintain order.

"My hand, why is it like this. I seem to be sick"

"There is a problem with the medicine!"

"Monster, look over there, what is that!"

"keep Calm!!!"

"Woo~" (Siren beeping)
The noisy sound quickly caused a lot of chaos in front of the medical point. Sievers looked around blankly. He saw the soldiers holding up their guns to stabilize the situation, and he also saw the armed bionics glowing all over their bodies, and began to walk towards the street. Run to the other side.

Sievers only felt that his consciousness was drifting away from him, and he fell to the ground. The vision that should have been blurred may be much clearer at this time due to the change in his body. A force, forcing Yes, this force drives Sievers' body in an irresistible posture.

Force him to stand up and lean towards the central empty floor on the other side of the outer street.

Sievers didn't understand what was going on, and his eyes couldn't help staying on the central empty layer that suddenly dimmed in the distance.

No, that's not the central void.

Something has come!

For no reason, Sievers realized this, and he was eager to know what happened, but when he saw the scene in the central space, he wanted to poke all these eyes blind.

Countless deep, indescribable objects are condensing, they seem to come from another space, they gather here to form a group, suspended in the remaining black and white world.

Ah ~
It was a trembling egg-shaped object that condensed all the evils of this world. Countless pitch-black tentacles extended from its rough and wrinkled surface, piercing straight into the towering buildings on all sides, as if an abyss pierced through it. The coming evil beast will build its own lair in this steel forest!

The prophesied scene that Zhu Juechu saw through divination when he arrived in Qianfan City.

After all, it was realized with an irreversible attitude!

"Let your people withdraw. Now, immediately, never think about bombing it. It's impossible to be useful. This egg is probably also an existence between reality and another world."

In the office of the Epidemic Prevention Office, Virginia stared at the picture on the video with an extremely ugly expression on her face.
"It is by no means comparable to ordinary spiritual pollution source monsters. Even I have never seen this level of vision. Before the support arrives, don't make any fearless sacrifices!"

She guessed that the Ouroboros organization should take action before the arrival of the Archaeological Association's support troops. For this reason, she kept urging there to speed up, and at the same time deployed heavy troops outside the medical points, and even took out the troops ahead of time. Some extremely precious items in the branch warehouse are used to assist the operation, in order to ensure that there will be no major accidents before the support arrives.

However, Virginia never expected that the Ouroboros organization would directly launch an attack on the first day the potion was distributed, and even conjured up such a hysteria that people couldn't resist and had to find ways to protect themselves. The horror exists!
"If there is a problem with the potion, it is a trap, and it is all a trap of the Ouroboros organization. What the Ouroboros organization wants to use those people who have injected the potion to do. It has been nearly 10 hours since the potion was distributed. At least 40 communities Hundreds of thousands of people have been injected.”

Different from Virginia, Newcastle's focus has always been on medicine, and when he saw the people outside the medical point who seemed to be walking dead, he immediately realized that the medicine that seemed to be able to relieve the current predicament There is a huge hidden danger in the medicine that they haven't been able to research.

"Ms. Virginia, I'm afraid it's too late to say this now."

The Minister of Security Bulwer finally came back to his senses at this time, and said in a difficult tone through the communication network on the desktop.

While the officials of Thousand Sails City were horrified by this strange existence that suddenly appeared, the emotions of the people in the other part of Thousand Sails City, the Ouroboros Organization, went to another extreme.

During the torrential rain, dozens of men in black robes stood on top of a building, with Nohara Yixin at the head, and everyone behind him knelt on the ground, chanting low and complex spells with fanaticism.

Another big man and his subordinates are not here at this time, and Nohara Isshin naturally became the leader. He looked at the dream that he had planned for many years in the central space and finally realized it, and the words "satisfied" were almost written on his face. .

Raising his hands high, the gully on his face seemed to stretch a lot, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the incomparable satisfaction born of madness at this moment.

With only one last step left, he will become an existence that mortals can only look up to.

Take control of this city, save those souls, and let them enjoy eternal life in the kingdom of God!

"The Kingdom of God has come, we will act on behalf of God's will, we will turn into the most devout servants, for the arrival of the great existence."

With the words that came to an abrupt end, Nohara Yixin was like a duck whose neck was strangled, staring at the central space, his face suddenly turned pale, and it was difficult to say another word.

What did he see?
Howls, roars, the beeps of airships in the security department, the roar of gunfire,

Sievers' body began to tremble in front of the medical point, his mouth grew to an exaggerated extent, his eyes seemed to be forced open by someone, and he stared at it in horror, feeling that his body would completely collapse in the next second.

However, just when madness was about to engulf him, in the black and white world in front of him, to be precise, behind the black egg, a deep purple light suddenly appeared, and immediately shattered that deep and desperate space with a destructive gesture.

In the next second, the purple light turned into a huge palm, which shattered the void, and in front of everyone, tightly grasped the terrifying black egg.

Crushed a handful!
Those terrifying existences are vulnerable to this palm!
When the purple light became more intense, a certain existence that was very familiar to a considerable part of the people in Qianfan City gradually manifested.

Another scene replaced the original world, and Sievers stared at all this in amazement. The existence that appeared in front of him at this time, he had just seen in the book not long ago.

He thought it was just a myth and legend!
After a long time, Sievers fell to his knees again.

This time it was not because of insanity, but because of the incomparably respectful kneeling of the existence that appeared in the central space layer.

The people around seemed to have a tacit understanding at this moment, and shouted together:

Welcome to King Yama!
