Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”

"Zizi... Broadcast reminder, fog is spreading at night... Go out."

"Zizizi... The fog has the ability to animate the dead, affect the mind, and rewrite cognition... Zizizizi..."

"Please...close doors and windows to avoid fog...If you are still outside, please go to the nearest indoor place to take shelter..."

Great, I can actually get the signal!

In other words, there must be surviving humans and official personnel in the outside world who are maintaining the operation of broadcast communications!

So, what about the military?

No, we definitely can't rely on the military at this time. Ordinary weapons are definitely not able to deal with that kind of thing.

Shen Qinyin was thinking while taking notes in her notebook.

Combining her own experience with the information she heard from the radio, Shen Qiyin had a rough understanding of what had happened in the past two days.

First of all, she already understood the effect of the fog, which coincided with her own guess.

Officials call those monsters that are activated by fog and transformed into corpses "strange beasts". Although ordinary weapons cannot kill them, they are flesh and blood after all, so destroying their limbs or burning them completely can still have some effect.

The difficulty lies in that even if they are burned to ashes, they will still be "reborn" quickly under the influence of the fog.

In this comparison, the advantage of Shen Qinyin's Holy Exorcist Spear becomes apparent.

At least the strange beasts she killed will not be reborn.

However, what really gives humans a headache is not the strange beasts, but "those things".

"Those things" are non-human "creatures" or phenomena that exist everywhere. They are beyond the scope of human cognition. Most of them are intelligent, and only a small number of them are unconscious like beasts.

They are officially called "Entities" and internationally defined as "FEAR".

This is the English word for “fear” and can be translated literally as “terror.”

Shen Qiyin felt that the name was chosen very hastily, but it also hit the nail on the head.

"Entities" are the things that I encountered in the basement. Most of them have no physical body, and it can even be said that they do not exist on the physical level.

But they can directly invade human consciousness and rewrite brain cognition from the source.

According to official statements, once someone is completely invaded by an "entity" and their sanity drops to zero, they will become a strange beast or go completely insane.

"Recently... Zizi... has had the intention to hijack... Therefore, Zizi..."

"If you hear the broadcast after... the sizzle... please... believe it—"

"Om!!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp buzzing sound from the radio, followed by complete silence.

Shen Qiyin hurriedly tried to adjust the channel, stretch the antenna, and switch directions, but to no avail.

The broadcast signal seemed to be subject to unknown interference, causing Shen Qinyin to miss obviously very important information.

Do you really...believe it?

What is missing in the pause here? "Don't want" or "Yes"?

While I was thinking, the radio suddenly started buzzing again.

After a while, the radio, which had originally had a poor signal, began broadcasting again:

"...Good evening, everyone. Now, let me explain our city's survivor shelter."

"There are 87 shelters in our city, and four are still open to accepting citizens. They are located in the City Square, South Road Department Store, Dayan Park, and North District Fresh Market."

"The entrance to the shelter is the iconic vermilion gate. The beast will disguise itself as a normal metal blast-proof door. If you see the vermilion gate, please enter."

"You will enter a very beautiful world where there is no suffering."

As Shen Qiyin listened, she felt something was increasingly wrong.

Putting aside the fact that the signal suddenly improved...what's the matter with this cult-like statement?

While I was surprised, the radio broadcast continued:

"Zizzizi..."

"Next is the shopping channel, please listen carefully."

"Today's recommended product is 'HD Camera'."

“It helps you take great photos.”

"For example, portraits, life photos, landscape photos, posthumous photos..."

"Even if you lose both arms, it can automatically take a photo of your body, allowing your beauty to be captured forever in the photo."

“Order now and get it delivered to your door.”

"In addition, this program will randomly select 10 lucky listeners to receive a free high-definition camera."

"It's better to act than to be moved, hurry up..."

Shen Qinyin turned off the radio with a snap.

Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she was sure that the guy reporting the news was definitely not official.

Combined with the words "hijack" broadcast by the radio before, Shen Qiyin guessed that some kind of consciousness in the fog already had the ability to hijack human frequencies and tamper with information.

That's it, now the rules are weird.

The mess in the second half must be tampered content, but how can we confirm whether the information in the first half is true or false?

Shen Qinyin rubbed her temple with her index finger, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.

At this moment, the radio, which she had clearly turned off, suddenly started playing again.

"Congratulations! You are one of the 10 lucky listeners of this program! We will give you a beautiful gift!"

"Our courier has arrived at your door..."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please be sure to open the door and sign for it."

“Dong dong dong dong!!”

Almost at the same time as the radio said the three words "front door", a series of continuous and rapid knocks on the door came from downstairs with extremely clear voices!

Shen Qiyin's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously removed the battery of the radio.

However, even though she had removed the batteries, the radio continued to broadcast!

"Please be sure to open the door and sign for the receipt..."

"If you refuse to sign for the package, the courier will handle you and your family as appropriate."

"Boom boom boom!"

"So, the indigo □€◇..."

"Dong dong dong dong!"

“You must cooperate!!”

The last sentence changed from its original mechanical broadcast tone to a low, hoarse, beast-like roar, mixed with the deep male voice and the tender girl's voice, which sounded extremely contradictory and weird!

At the same time, a loud "bang" was heard downstairs!

This means that the door of the villa hall was knocked open by something.

Chapter 8: I’ll give you a ride!

"Da da da."

The footsteps sounded regularly, and were particularly clear in the silent villa.

Shen Qinyin's eyes were gloomy, and she pricked up her ears, listening carefully to the direction of the footsteps.

Soon, she heard footsteps slowly approaching near the stairs.

Her bedroom was just a few steps up the stairs, just turn left and walk up a few steps.

Shen Qiyin speculated that the thing was synchronized with the "FEAR" message that hijacked the radio signal, and anyone who had just listened to the broadcast would be selected as its target.

"Da da da."

The footsteps went up the stairs and began to move towards the bedroom where Shen Qinyin was.

She held the wheelchair armrest with her left hand and held the exorcist holy spear tightly in her right hand, waiting quietly.

She wasn't sure whether the thing outside was a strange beast or "fear".

If it is the former, then the Holy Lance of Exorcism can handle it, but if it is the latter, then it will be a big trouble.

"Dong dong dong."

"Dong dong dong."

"Please open the door and sign for the package."

There was a short, rapid knock on the door, and along with it, there was a young voice that was unclear whether it was male or female.

The thing outside the door seemed to have really disguised itself as a courier, and even knocked on the door in a much more polite manner.

Of course, Shen Qiyin couldn't open the door to sign for any package. She was only worried about one thing, that is, whether the other party would kick the door open and whether this upgraded door could withstand the impact of that thing.

However, if the other party has to break down the door to get in, then it is more likely to be a strange beast.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please open the door and sign for the package."

"Boom boom boom..."

The thing outside the door kept knocking and shouting, and even the rhythm of the knocking and the tone of the shouting did not change at all.

The dull sound was like the death knell, accompanied by the mechanical and hollow cries of the unknown creature outside the door, striking Shen Qinyin's heart again and again.

She clenched her hands into fists, her fingertips turning white from the force, and her eyes stared at the door, as if she could see the indescribable "creature" outside the door through the cold metal.

The tireless knocking sounds and the seemingly endless shouting were like an invisible saw, cutting away at her sanity bit by bit.

Shen Qinyin took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner anxiety, and just confronted it.

Time became unusually slow at this moment, one hour, two hours, three hours...

As the night deepened, Shen Qinyin's physical strength and energy gradually exhausted.

Hunger reminded her that she hadn't eaten for a long time, but compared to the physical fatigue, the mental sleepiness surged like a tide, trying to drown her completely.

In the dual torment of physical hunger and mental fatigue, time kept passing by minute by minute.

The knocking on the door gradually stopped until the hazy morning light finally began to appear on the horizon.

As the fog gradually dissipated, Shen Qinyin looked tired and haggard as she pressed her temples.

The long confrontation had kept her mind in a state of high tension. Now that she relaxed, a strong sense of fatigue suddenly swept over her mind.

Is that thing finally gone?

This really proves that they are "afraid" of the sun, right?

You must make up for your sleep during the day, because the night is much more difficult than you think.

Shen Qinyin pressed the adjustment button of the wheelchair, slowly lowered the backrest, lay down on her back, and covered her body with a blanket.

She no longer had the energy to leave her wheelchair and climb onto the bed to rest. Her eyelids kept twitching as if a heavy lead block was pressing on them.

So, less than ten seconds after closing her eyes, she fell asleep.

"Knock knock knock."

Shen Qinyin was sleeping soundly.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle knock on the door woke her up from her sleep.

"Click."

As the doorknob was turned, Ji Yin, wearing a maid outfit, walked in with an elegant smile on her face.

"Good morning, miss. Did you sleep well last night?"
