Chapter 37 Bacteria
"what happened to you?"

Seeing Su Heng's expression suddenly change, Su Li had a look of surprise on her face.

"I..." Su Heng frowned and told Su Li what had happened in Heikui Mountain before.

Listen.

Su Li's expression gradually became serious.

"You mean, these fogs are probably not formed naturally, but are caused by demons."

"The fog monster is very difficult to deal with." Su Heng nodded and added seriously.

Su Li took out the demon-hunting disk from her bosom and injected her strength into it. As expected, the compass that had not responded just now was now emitting a faint light. And as time passed, the light on the compass was becoming more and more scarlet.

"Do you know the origin of the fog monster?" Su Heng asked. Perhaps there would be relevant records in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"There are too many monsters in this world. Sometimes their talents are very similar, but the actual effects are completely different." Su Li shook his head.

She couldn't make an accurate judgment based solely on the clues provided by Su Heng.

"I'll go out and see."

The fog demon has an extremely high IQ and has been staying deep in the Heikui Mountain.

But now it is actively invading the city, which shows that some changes have taken place in it.

This change is definitely negative for Changqing County. Su Heng cannot sit and wait for death. He must go and see it with his own eyes and collect intelligence.

As for danger, Su Heng was not worried.

The demon's strength lies in its weirdness, and he is not afraid of a real collision.

"Shall I go with you?" Su Li suggested.

"No." Su Heng shook his head, "You have to stay to avoid any unexpected situations at home."

"Okay..." Su Li looked a little helpless.

She thought she had returned home rich and powerful this time, and would show off her abilities. But Su Heng taught her a lesson. His unreasonable strength was really despairing.

"Be careful." Su Li said.

"Ah."

Su Heng nodded and opened the door.

The tall and strong figure soon disappeared into the increasingly thick fog.

……

There was not a single person in sight on the empty streets.

The doors and windows of the shops on both sides were closed, and at the far corner was a five-story restaurant called "Heaven on Earth".

"Hee hee hee……"

A strange laughter was heard, like children playing in the fog.

Su Heng stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from. His eyes were solemn and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.

He walked through the fog.

I saw four or five children playing the game of "hopscotch" on the street.

These children are all eight or nine years old, dressed simply, and look like they were born in ordinary families.

"Why are you the only ones playing here? Where are the other pedestrians on the street?" Su Heng smiled, approached the children, half-knelt on the ground, and asked softly.

One of the girls, who was wearing a red cotton jacket and had two pigtails, raised her head.

Su Heng's pupils shrank slightly.

The girl's face was painted with white ash-like powder, her complexion was pale, her lips were scarlet, and her eyes were dark. She looked like a doll in a horror movie.

Although he was smiling, he gave people an inexplicably cold feeling.

"Hee hee hee……"

The girl with pigtails smiled and said, "I don't know. Can you take me to look for her?"

"Okay." Su Heng kept smiling, took out a few copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into the pocket of the girl's cotton-padded jacket, "This money is for you to buy candied haws."

"Thank you, brother." The girl smiled happily.

She turned around and walked into the fog, turning a corner and entering the alley.

Su Heng followed closely behind, but suddenly stopped after entering the alley. The alley in front of him turned out to be a dead end.

At the end of the alley should be a tavern, with a plaque that read "Chuang Tianxia". Su Heng had come to this tavern many times before to drink and eat meat, so he had some impression of it.

One of the gates faces the bustling Fruit Street, open to welcome customers.

The other gate is right in front of Su Heng, which is usually a dedicated passage for staff.

I just don't know why.

There was a seal on the door, a white seal with scarlet writing.

It was a bit creepy to watch in the dim and silent environment, and those children also disappeared inexplicably.

"Is it an illusion? It doesn't seem that simple." Su Heng pinched the corners of his eyes, but the scene in front of him did not change.

The fog grew thicker.

Can't see or hear.

The city where I had lived for more than ten years suddenly became unfamiliar.

Su Heng stepped back from the alley step by step, returned to the street he had just been on, continued forward, and stopped again.

The shops on both sides of the street were locked just now.

I don't know when, all the doors opened, and figures stood at the door of the dark house.

They all looked pale, with stiff and weird smiles on their faces, and their figures seemed slightly blurry in the fog.

"hiss……"

Su Heng instantly thought of Li Si from before.

"I want to see what you are." The more he pretended to be mysterious, the more it proved that the demon could not pose a direct threat to him.

Such a strange scene did not make Su Heng feel much fear.

Instead, he strode forward, reached out his hand, and pinched the face of one of the figures.

The result was not surprising—

puff!
Su Heng's palm passed directly over the figure's head.

The human figure, like Li Si before, turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated.

Then came the second, third, fourth... until the fifth one, Su Heng finally felt it was real.

boom!
This is the owner of a coffin shop.

His face was old, his eyes were cloudy, and he was wearing a pale shroud.

Su Heng slapped him directly to the ground with a dull thud.

The external force seemed to affect a certain balance in the old man's body. Wisps of grayish-white mist emanated and soon merged with the surrounding thick fog.

It doesn't seem to be any different.

But Su Heng felt a slight tingling sensation on the back of his hand.

He looked down and found that at some point, a patch of red spots like goose bumps had appeared on the back of his hand.

Slightly red and swollen, and a little itchy.

"This……"

Su Heng closed his eyes, sensed carefully, and an expression of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

"This mist doesn't seem to be real mist... but countless extremely tiny bacteria. It's just that because there are so many of them, it looks like thick fog."

“These bacteria can take root in the human body and absorb nutrients.

It’s just that my physique is far superior to that of ordinary people and my resistance is strong, so these bacteria can only stay on the surface of the skin and cannot act on deeper levels.

but……

Even so, these strains are scary enough.”

Boom!

Su Heng shook his arms.

The powerful and fiery Yang Yang energy was running in his body, his skin was red, and the sweat evaporated and turned into thick smoke, like a flame leaping in the void. Not only were the bacteria on his body completely evaporated and destroyed, but also a large area of ​​the surrounding air was directly cleared.
