Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"I?"

"Correct."

Jiang Ming looked directly into Ji Zi's eyes and nodded.

"Jizi, you are actually very tired now, right? I noticed it yesterday. You have been working hard to handle various affairs every day, and you have to look for the almost unfindable white ghost in the middle of the night. You don't even have time to eat a normal breakfast. You have been very hard during this period."

"What...what? Why are you so concerned about me all of a sudden? What do you want to say?"

"It's not good to be on edge all the time. Since no one has been killed recently, why not relax and go have a few drinks with me? Only for today."

"Ah? A few drinks with you? What on earth do you want..."

"Okay, okay, let's forget about all those worries today and have a drink."

Jiang Ming didn't care what Ji Zi thought, and half-pushed and half-pulled her to buy a lot of wine.

......

March 2006, 8 24:4:00

Jiang Ming looked at the red-haired girl beside him who generously opened another can of beer and drank it down in one gulp.

Although he was reluctant at first, after drinking a few cans of beer, he began to enjoy it by himself. While Jiang Ming listened to Ji Zi's story, he poured white wine into the beer.

"Ha~" Ji Zi leaned on the guardrail and shouted: "Summer! Night breeze! Beer! Life is blissful, life is blissful~"

After saying that, Ji Zi looked at Jiang Ming with some dissatisfaction and said with a pout.

"Hey...why don't you drink? You...drink too!"

As he said this, he put the beer can in front of Jiang Ming.

The girl's hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail, had now fallen down. She sat on the chair very proudly. Although her consciousness was a little fuzzy, she was still very tough.

"you're drunk?"

"No, except for my drinking capacity...I won't lose to anyone~"

"Yeah, yeah, that's what drunks say."

The two drank for a while, and Jiang Ming seized the opportunity to ask.

"By the way, is there any connection between the blood-sucking incident and the white ghost?"

"It must be... related!"

Jizi said firmly.

"Based on my more than 20 years of experience in investigating cases, I can tell that the White Ghost is definitely related to the bizarre cases. I can even say that the main culprit in the bizarre cases is the White Ghost!"

When it comes to the safety of ordinary people, she always remains firm, but...

"Ms. Jizi, how old are you?"

"Hmm? 19 years old~"

"Whose 19-year-old has over 20 years of experience investigating crimes?!"

"Huh, you don't understand~"

"..."

"I really lost to you."

Jiang Ming held his forehead helplessly.

"By the way... Himeko, you used to be from Caltech, right?"

"Hey, it's not a good interest to pry into other people's past."

Ji Zi looked at Jiang Ming with some resentment.

"Have you forgotten, Jizi? When we first met, I told you that I had read your paper."

"Oh...it seems to be true..."

Ji Zi stared at the beer can in her hand in a daze again.

"My father was a scientist by destiny. Under his influence, I always regarded becoming a physicist as my goal. At the age of 15, I was admitted to Caltech."

"15 years old?"

Jiang Ming frowned, looking a little ugly.

"Haha, you didn't expect that. After all, I don't look like the type who is good at studying."

Ji Zi seemed to enjoy seeing Jiang Ming's look of disbelief.

"I'm so stupid... I gave up my studies at Caltech and even accepted this experiment at the cost of my life in order to become this half-baked goddess."

"Lose lifespan?"

Jiang Ming looked at Ji Zi with a serious expression. He didn't expect that Ji Zi in this world had also done such an experiment.

"Yeah, but it's useless to say anything now, just like my life..."

"It's not useless!"

Jiang Ming loudly denied Ji Zi's opinion of him.

"I have always admired you, Jizi. You can sacrifice your life for the most important person in your life. Even if you have to fight against the invincible, even if you have to fight against the gods, you have always been protecting everyone. You are not useless."

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say? But no matter how much you praise me, I won't give you any benefits~"

......

Yoshihisa

"Himeko? Himeko?"

Jiang Ming softly called the red-haired girl sitting on the chair, and after confirming that she was asleep, he picked up her mobile phone and used the power of the Key of Erosion to find the phone number of Theresa's sister, Karin.

After sending Ji Zi back to her room, Jiang Ming dialed the number.

"Hello? Who are you?"

A slightly doubtful voice sounded in my ears.

"Let's talk, Miss Kallen."

"About A-872."

Chapter 99 Target: Hoom Hoom Amusement Park!

March 2006, 8 24:4:42

A young girl appeared in front of Jiang Ming. She had conspicuous white hair and was dressed in black, but it was difficult to hide the arrogance and dignity that emanated from her bones.

"Lord Kallen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Jiang Ming leaned forward slightly to greet her, and the expression of the girl named Karen also became cold.

"Contact me on the phone. You should be the one meeting here at this time."

"Haha, it's me. I know you still have a lot of questions, but don't worry, I will explain everything later. Do you want to have a midnight snack first? Let's talk while we eat."

Jiang Ming made a request with a smile and pointed to the Houmu Happy Restaurant not far away.

"..."

......

Although it is already early morning, scattered figures can still be seen on the streets of Canghai City.

The white-haired girl next to Jiang Ming had her arms piled high with hamburgers. She ate with such happiness on her face that passers-by couldn't help but smile.

"The hamburgers at Homo's Happy Restaurant are really delicious, but... they are still far inferior to the rice balls in Yaemura."

"It would be great if Lady Kallen feels delicious."

Jiang Ming walked slowly, and although his pace was slow, he always followed closely behind Karin. Karin, who noticed this, also understood that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Well, according to what you just said, you are the investigator specially assigned by destiny this time, right?"

"Yes, Master Kallen, the Bishop specially sent me to bring you two back."

"..."

"I'm sorry, I might..."

"Don't worry, Lady Kallen. I have found A-872."

"?!"

Jiang Ming interrupted Karen before she could finish her words, and what he said shocked her even more.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, I have found A-872."

Jiang Ming repeated what he had just said.

"Gudu."

Karin swallowed nervously. Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this and comforted her.

"Haha, please rest assured, Miss Karen, I will not hurt you. I don't like that bishop very much. I just want you to witness something."

"witness?"

"Yes, witness it."

Jiang Ming nodded, walked in front of Karin, turned around and said to her.

"But before that, I have a small request."

Hearing this, Karin frowned as expected. Jiang Ming spoke while carefully observing her reaction.

"I hope that no matter what happens tomorrow morning, you won't show up. At least, please don't do anything to her tomorrow night... I have something I want you to confirm with your own eyes."

"Deli...A-872 would appear here?"

Karen originally wanted to talk about Theresa, but she was still wary of Jiang Ming, thinking that everything he was saying now was taught to him by the bishop, but Jiang Ming didn't care about that and spoke with a solemn oath.

"Yes, I can make her appear tomorrow, and in the sunshine."

"?!"

"..."

"What if I say no?"

To her, Theresa was too dangerous, and she was the one who brought her here, so she should bear the sin herself. Although she didn't know how Jiang Ming did it, if Theresa was allowed to appear in front of humans during the day, it would probably cause a major crisis.

"Then the number of victims of the continuous blood-sucking incidents may continue to increase. Miss Karen, you have no choice."

Jiang Ming's tone began to become heavy, even a little threatening.

"Ms. Karen, you don't want to increase the number of victims, do you?"

"You!...I see."

Karin sighed and could only agree to Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming wanted to know more about A-872, so Karin handed the file about A-872 to Jiang Ming.

File: 1996, Subject A-872.

[All the previous test subjects that had added the fusion-type Honkai beast "Vishnu" cells were dissolved. I judged that "Vishnu" cells were too powerful and needed to be balanced by adding other elements.

So, I tried to add the energy of the bond of erosion into the experimental subject A-872. The result was surprising. Not only did the experimental subject A-872 not dissolve, it also showed wonderful properties.

She can inject bacterial Honkai beasts into the body of the person being sucked through blood. Within 48 hours, the person infected with bacterial Honkai beasts will also be transformed into a half-human, half-Honkai beast.

Unfortunately, the infected will lose most of their senses, their memories will become fuzzy, and they will develop the same blood-sucking urge as Subject A-872, but in return, they will be able to share life with Subject A-872.

The infected's blood-sucking behavior can produce positive feedback on A-872's power, and conversely, as long as A-872 is not under fatal threat, these infected people will gain nearly eternal life.

It suddenly occurred to me that these bacteria-based Honkai beasts might also have an effect on dead people?

If, if that's the case...】
