My Endless Life.

Chapter 369 This Time It's Really Pollution

It was two days later that Sun Xiaoqing successfully entered the town.

Because a mirror image would be created after entering the town, in order to prevent Sun Xiaoqing from becoming confused after leaving the town, Li Qi put one of the mirror images into a deep sleep, leaving only one to look after the town.

With the addition of Sun Xiaoqing, the number of permanent residents in Dream Town has become four.

Kate, the source of the strange creatures, Kate's mother Jane, Li Qiao, who was 'recreated' by Li Qi, and Sun Xiaoqing, who took refuge in the Dream Town.

These four people were temporarily unable to leave the town for various reasons, so Li Qi arranged for them to build the town.

Led by Li Qiao.

Li Qiao is the eldest daughter of Qiqiao Villa. Although she is far inferior to Li Qi in the field of mechanical devices, she is worse than all the previous owners of the villa.

Now, after being influenced by the rich information of modern society, Li Qi believes that Li Qiao can transform the entire town into a brand new upgraded version of Qiqiao Villa.

And when Li Qiao completes the transformation of the town, Li Qi will probably be able to create a body suitable for Li Qiao, and then Li Qiao will be able to leave the town.

Compared to others, Li Qiao is Li Qi's real right-hand man. With the help of his sister from his previous life, Li Qi will have more energy to focus on other things.

Although this trip to the United States Federation failed to find the murderer of Zhang Fengyun, according to Kate's description, the murderer, like other members of the town, has become the nourishment of the Dream Town.

Since this is the case, Li Qi no longer focuses on it.

Besides, ever since Li Qi learned about Zhang Fengyun's past from Sun Xiaoqing and Xiake, he has begun to have some doubts about Zhang Fengyun's death.

He always felt that there was something strange about Zhang Fengyun's death, and it was even possible that the other party was not really dead!
Because of this, Li Qi did not continue to pursue the truth persistently.

His idea was simple. If someone from the Ancient Monuments Society ran into him, he wouldn't mind taking revenge on Zhang Fengyun.

But if the Antique Monuments Association didn't bother him, he wouldn't really go to the Antique Monuments Association's headquarters to cause trouble.

After all, he is not that strong now.

If you stop paying attention to historical sites and other things, time will pass quickly.

At the end of November and the beginning of December, the Day of Darkness occurred again, and this time the Day of Darkness lasted for six hours.

Six hours...six hours in winter. For many people living in the north, the occurrence of this day of darkness is equivalent to falling into eternal night.

Panic escalated again and the world became more chaotic.

At this point, countries had no choice but to use force. Even in China, the military could be seen everywhere.

It is said that the city where Li Qi is located has been temporarily taken over by the military, and the atmosphere in the entire city is so serious as if a war is about to break out.

"These three times are six hours, so the next three times will be eight hours?"

Li Qi remembered that the first dark day lasted for two hours. After three consecutive two-hour dark days, this strange phenomenon subsided for a while.

Then when it appeared again, the time had changed from two hours to four hours.

This went on repeatedly, and when this time came, the dark day suddenly became six hours.

If we continue to calculate like this, the next time will be eight hours, and then when it gets dark again, the time will probably be extended to more than ten hours.

Only then will we truly fall into eternal night.

So the question is, how did the dark day appear? The sun was there, how could it suddenly disappear?

"Is there something blocking the sun?"

Li Qi looked up at the dark sky.

The dark days have passed, but these days are the beginning of winter. Heavy snow has fallen one after another, and the sky has been dark without a clear day. This has lasted for several days, further exacerbating the panic among the city residents.

Li Qi's eyes fell on the clouds in the sky, but it was obvious that he could not see anything with his naked eyes.

I believe all major countries are trying to figure out why the Dark Day came into being.

But until now, the best way for major countries to deal with it is to prepare shelters to welcome the coming doomsday. From this point of view, it is enough to prove that even the most powerful technology today cannot clearly explore the reason for the birth of the Dark Day.

It might not be easy for Li Qi to figure this out alone.

Li Qi stayed in the safe house thinking about these things. While he was thinking, the door of the room was opened.

Accompanied by the biting cold wind, Liu Cheng walked in from outside with a gloomy face and white snowflakes on his body.

Li Qi, who was originally planning to greet Liu Cheng, saw his gloomy face and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy. Is someone causing trouble again?"

"No."

Liu Cheng answered quickly. He took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger next to the door. He sat down opposite Li Qi and said to him solemnly:

"Xiao An, I'm afraid we have to move."

"Ok?"

"There have been some inexplicable strange things happening in the city recently. The cases caused by these things have been taken over by Bureau 057. After confirmation, it should be the so-called 'pollution', so we have to leave here!"

pollute?

Li Qi thought of the dream town he encountered when he went to the United States Federation. At that time, he also thought it was pollution, but in fact it was a special space created by a strange object. So would Liu Cheng's current situation be the same? He thought it was pollution, but in fact it was a phenomenon caused by someone using a strange object.

Thinking about this, Li Qi became interested.

He asked Liu Cheng:

"What exactly happened? Tell me."

As Li Qi spoke, he poured Liu Cheng a cup of hot tea.

Liu Cheng took the tea and drank it all. He let out a long breath and finally said:

“…The story begins one day ago.”

……

Although Liu Cheng is now Li Qi's "subordinate", when Li Qi doesn't need him, he will still go to work as usual.

Especially now that the city is becoming more and more chaotic and various cases are occurring frequently, Liu Cheng is even busier.

And one day ago, Liu Cheng received a strange murder case.

The deceased was a 21-year-old female college student. She lived alone and rented a house outside the school. She usually supported herself by live streaming.

On the day the woman died, she did not go live at the scheduled time and there was no news in her live broadcast group, which caused concern among her group members.

A friend in the group who was familiar with the woman offline immediately called her to ask what was going on, but the call was not connected and she did not reply to her text messages.

They guessed that something might have happened to the woman, so they immediately called the police.

It was just that there had been a lot of cases in the city recently and the police force in the city was a little insufficient. By the time the police received the report and went to look for the woman, it was already three hours later.

When they arrived at the woman's solitary room, they found her body.

According to forensic investigation, the woman died five hours before her body was found, and the cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest due to excessive fear.

Apparently, the woman encountered something terrifying before she died.

But the problem is that there were no traces left in the woman's room except for her own traces, and there was no sign of struggle when she died, which ruled out the fact that someone used special means to scare her and caused her death.

At this point, if there were no other surprises, this would just be an ordinary murder case with a slightly strange twist.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening of the same day that the brigade Liu Cheng was in received the same murder case again.

Both lived alone and both died of fright.

In just one night, five similar murders occurred.

Before Liu Cheng came back to explain the situation to Li Qi, the number had tripled. That day, Liu Cheng and his team found fifteen people died in the same way!

Then, before Liu Cheng and his team could investigate, they discovered that the case had been transferred to someone else's hands.

He was the member of Bureau 057 who was previously responsible for interrogating Wang He.

Zhao Chenghu and his team members.

"From now on, this case is under our control."

As soon as Zhao Chenghu came in, he held up his ID and announced that they would take over the case.

Because the authority of Zhao Chenghu's department is very high, even Liu Cheng has no right to refuse Zhao Chenghu.

However, since this matter is handled by the members of Bureau 057, it means that this incident involves mystery. Liu Cheng's eyes flickered. After handing over the authority of the case to Zhao Chenghu, he approached him and said:
"Captain Zhao, we meet again."

"That's what I wanted to say, Captain Liu."

Zhao Chenghu also saw Liu Cheng, and the two of them were smoking and chatting in the square outside the police station.

Liu Cheng flicked the ashes into the ashtray on top of the trash can, looked around, and made sure that there was no one else around, then he whispered to Zhao Chenghu:
"Captain Zhao, is this incident... also related to those things?"

The last time Zhao Chenghu had a conversation with Liu Cheng, he also vaguely revealed some things about the mysterious world to Liu Cheng, so Zhao Chenghu was not surprised when he heard Liu Cheng ask this at this moment.

He just said meaningfully:
"Captain Liu, if you really want to know, you can apply to join us. With your position and qualifications, you are qualified to join us."

Zhao Chenghu extended an olive branch to Liu Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Cheng didn't know much about what Bureau 057 was, but he was sure that given the secretive nature of the young master in his family, he would not be willing to come into contact with these official members.

The young master has too many secrets, and many of them are not suitable to be exposed to the official. Therefore, Liu Cheng, as his subordinate, cannot join the official.

Even if we take a step back and say that Liu Cheng could join the official team, he would have to get Li Qi's permission.

So now Liu Cheng didn't say anything. He just asked Zhao Chenghu one question:
“Is this incident pollution?”

Zhao Chenghu did not answer immediately.

He took a deep breath of smoke, and in the winter temperature, he exhaled along with the water vapor he exhaled, and the long puff of smoke lingered in the air for a long time.

Looking at the smoke, Zhao Chenghu replied:
"Not sure, but it's possible, so the stability maintenance work during this period will be handed over to you, Captain Liu."
