These weird things are all mine

I'm afraid it's really going to cost me my life...

After being delayed for a while by the phone call, Li Shaoheng quickly used his ability to rush directly to the center of the county, where the disaster was most serious.

When he landed, Li Shaoheng found that everyone was standing there in a daze, including Cen Xiangyun who had rushed to support him after sending someone off.

"what happened?"

Li Shaoheng wanted to ask about the situation, but when he looked up, he swallowed the rest of his words.

"When did this... appear?"

A strange barrier was covering the center of the county, forcing back all the awakened people and injured ordinary people.

The scene no longer showed the horrible weirdness described in the report. Only the wounded and the dead bodies remained around.

"Just now, when a little girl with white hair appeared..."

A P7 specialist nearby said in an uneasy tone, "After she told us to leave, she opened the barrier and we couldn't get in."

"This is a hatchery," Li Shaoheng stared at the barrier, his voice trembling slightly, "an unprecedentedly large hatchery..."

A hatchery of this size is definitely not just "eggs".

I'm afraid the "high-risk weirdness" dormant in Jiangcheng County has awakened.

There was almost no warning. Jiangcheng County, which had been peaceful for who knows how many years, suddenly erupted, bringing with it a disaster that was enough to destroy the entire region.

Chapter 5 No one will remember her appearance anymore (k)

Within the hatchery boundary.

The silver-white girl strolled in it, witnessing scene after scene.

She was no longer in Jiangcheng County, but an extremely unfamiliar city.

Here is... a projection of an old city.

The air was filled with an indistinguishable stench, mixed with the sweet stench of rotting corpses and the rusty smell of blood.

Looking around, the whole city was filled with broken corpses, and all the visible traces showed that... this city had been completely destroyed by the Puppet Rumor.

Shocking white fungi grew on almost all the corpses, and everywhere was filled with traces of cruelty belonging to "their own kind". All the dead people in this city had been dominated by Puppet Rumor.

This is a city where only "meat animals" remain.

There is only a lonely figure sitting on the corpses in this city, waiting for something in solitude.

Luo Ling walked over and sat down beside her.

"Ji Ying."

"Ah."

Ji Ying nodded slightly.

"These are your memories, right?"

Luo Ling asked softly, but this was already the answer.

From the moment she stepped into the hatchery, she was already within Ji Ying's capabilities.

Luo Ling did not resist the erosion of the "egg" and was pulled into Ji Ying's memory.

Because this is the only chance to talk to Ji Ying who is out of control.

The one sitting here is only Ji Ying in her memory. The last of her sanity in the present world has been left on the train, and her helpless struggle has come to an end.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Ji Ying lowered her head slightly, her eyes slightly reddened on her usually cold face, "In the end, I turned out to be the person I hate the most..."

From the very first moment they met, Ji Ying had already told Luo Ling that she wanted to kill Puppet Yao.

But now...she has become a puppet of Puppet Rumor, and the source of Puppet Rumor's revival. This hatchery was created by her who was out of control. Once the hatching is completed, the complete form of Puppet Rumor will appear.

"Ji Ying, can you tell me your story?" Luo Ling turned to look at Ji Ying and said seriously, "I want to hear it."

Although Luo Ling had a vague guess through some of the artist's memories, she wanted to listen to Ji Ying's confession more.

Even memories that are destined to be forgotten by the world have the right to be preserved.

"Actually, I'm not from this 'boundary.'" Ji Ying in the memory raised her head and said slowly, "I come from...another 'boundary' that has been annihilated.

“A completely messed up ‘boundary’.”

The so-called "boundary" refers to the limitation between the real world and nothingness.

Under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as "boundaries".

But three hundred years ago, all ten "taboos" fell silent, and at the same time caused a certain "chaos" throughout the world, and "boundaries" were born.

The relationship between time and space has been completely disrupted. The time experienced in different parts of the world is even different. The different time levels are called "boundaries."

If we use a building block toy called "Jenga" as an analogy, various places in the world are like pieces of building blocks put together, with each layer representing a period of time, constantly accumulating upwards.

Each time period is a layer, and the entire stack of wood is the history of the entire world.

The building blocks in certain positions were removed due to some accidents, and the empty space on the Jenga blocks became the place outside the "boundary", called the "realm of nothingness".

The weirdos and the awakened ones who have come into contact with the "power" can see the "realm of nothingness". The gap in cognition brings another layer of danger, so Li Shaoheng dare not set foot in it easily.

Currently, the only way for people with cognition to pass through the "realm of nothingness" is to travel inside vehicles in the surface world, such as trains and airplanes, but this method can only lead to other places in the same "boundary".

If you want to go to other places with different "boundaries", you can only do so through more special methods.

The "Spirit World Walker" is a precious sacrificial vessel that is capable of crossing "boundaries".

In the artist's memory, they came to Jiangcheng County from a place called "Victoria", and the "boundary" of that place was obviously different from that of Jiangcheng County. It was earlier in the timeline, about one or two hundred years apart.

Ji Ying comes from a later "boundary". In the "boundary" where she is, the disaster of Puppet Song has completely gotten out of control.

More than one-third of Asia has fallen, and basically everywhere they go has turned into a zombie-like existence.

Their flesh was completely occupied and devoured by the white mycelium, leaving only their brains and consciousness. They watched in horror as their bodies did all kinds of incredible things.

Eating flesh and blood is already the most acceptable thing, and the more terrifying purgatory scenes are even more indescribable, which is countless times more terrifying than the zombie horror movies in movies and TV series.

It's like the end of the world.

Finally, after countless efforts and casualties, Ji Ying and her team finally succeeded in killing Puppet Rumor, and removed the chaotic "boundary" caused by Puppet Rumor from the history of the world.

However, he did not expect that Puppet Rumor had actually buried an "egg" in other boundaries in advance. This "egg" directly inherited Puppet Rumor's consciousness and was about to become a new Puppet Rumor.

If the puppet song is successfully resurrected, the chaotic boundary that was finally ended will be reopened, and the pathetic building blocks that were taken away will be reinstalled.

In order to stop all this, Ji Ying acted decisively and used her ability to "illusion" all her past and implanted the white mycelium of Puppet Rumor into her body. This allowed her to follow the clues and come to Jiangcheng County alone, trying to kill Puppet Rumor completely.

At the same time, due to the "illusion", her own past has disappeared and will not be implicated in the terrible future that has already been annihilated.

As for the method of killing the puppet...

"All my teammates, including my captain, died because of this." Ji Ying calmly stated the outcome she had already anticipated.

In that annihilated chaotic realm, they were able to end the world-destroying disaster by relying on this method.

Merge with the puppet and use consciousness to kill consciousness.

However, the puppet rumor in Jiangcheng County was hidden too deeply and never revealed any clues until the end. Ji Ying couldn't find the location of the real body at all.

Ji Ying could only continue to fuse the hatched "eggs" in an attempt to find a clue from them, but in the end it was fruitless and she failed.

And after the failure, it even became another disaster.

This is the saddest ending for Ji Ying.

She is not afraid of death and has been prepared for it, but now...

"Can we still succeed?"

Ji Ying turned her head slightly and looked at Luo Ling who came to see her off for the last time.

"...sure."

Luo Ling nodded slightly and replied affirmatively.

"That's great..."

Ji Ying smiled.

She slowly stretched out her hand, held up Luo Ling's little face, her eyes full of stars.

"Thank you, Miss Luo Ling..."

Even at the last moment, he stayed with me so gently.

The zombie city in the memory gradually collapsed, broke into pieces and slowly dissipated, along with Ji Ying's last figure, and completely merged into the "nothingness".

This means that Ji Ying's memories... have been completely erased from this world.

At this point, except for Luo Ling, no one would remember that there was such a taciturn woman who sacrificed everything she had to kill Puppet Yao.

This is the backup plan Ji Ying left for herself. She didn't want to become another puppet, nor did she want to become a disaster to the world, triggering the "boundary" of "chaos" again.

From now on, no one will remember the woman named "Ji Ying" anymore. She and her desperate "boundary" will be wiped out from the world.

Luo Ling closed his eyes, with a faint sour feeling at the tip of his nose.

When she opened her pupil-less white eyes again, what she saw was a huge fungus that reached into the sky and was firmly rooted in the center of the county.

The surrounding high-rise buildings were all covered with mycelium, and even the broken bones of the corpses on the ground were not spared and were all eaten up.

The moment Ji Ying lost control, the hatching of Puppet Yao's true body had already begun.

The reason why she was able to hold on until Luo Ling arrived before deploying the incubation barrier was because of Ji Ying's final persistence. Even though she had transformed into the most terrifying and weird incarnation, she wanted to do her best to reduce the scale of the disaster. It was almost engraved into her instinct.

Luo Ling walked towards the huge fungus. Several spreading mycelium slightly touched her and then wrapped around her fingertips with a little intimacy.

Even though he knew that this was not Ji Ying's will, but was merely the "egg's" instinctive closeness to the "puppet rumor", Luo Ling still couldn't hold back any longer.

The dull sadness spread, and silent tears dripped onto the ground, instantly growing a few weak fungi.

"The hatchery... yes, this is the hatchery of "Kumei no Ya"..."

After seeing this scene, the silver-white girl slowly raised her head and her expression gradually became indifferent.

"And I... am also a "Kumeru no Ya"."

"Come on, let's fight it out, for this world, for...her last wish."

.......

"The hatchery is still expanding, and the residents of Jiangcheng County must be evacuated immediately!"

"We have detected that the strange energy in the center of the hatchery is rapidly expanding. Please be prepared to face the "high-risk strangeness"!"

"The Company urgently summons all specialists above the P7 level at the rd Boundary, including full-time and outsourced personnel, and sends a warning to all awakened organizations!"

Messages were quickly passed down one after another, and the matter was directly raised to an S-level emergency within the "company". Even the P9 director guarding the headquarters was preparing to set off.

Dormant "high-risk weirdness" is actually not uncommon. Even if you know of its existence, it is difficult to determine its location. Most of the time, only its subordinate "eggs" are active, and a team led by a P8 specialist can handle it.

But if it is the "high-risk weirdness" of awakening...

The meaning is completely different.

They are dangerous and strange, but they are beings with "power", and every one of them brings a terrible disaster to the world.

The reason why the artist and others chose to take action, in addition to the matching paths, was most importantly because "Kume Ya" looked quite weak.

I never expected... this weakness was a complete disguise. Most of its strength was buried in Ji Ying's self-limiting "egg", which allowed it to launch the hatchery without any warning.

When the hatchery appears, most of the countermeasures have become ineffective. Either you wait for the high-risk monsters to complete hatching and appear in the world, or you send a team to forcibly break into the hatchery and kill the high-risk monsters in hatching.

The company gathered people to implement the second plan.

Inside Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, almost all members of the communication group gathered in Ward Zero at this moment, including Li Shaoheng who had just returned from the hatchery.

But Liu Songyi, who was always in charge, was not there at this time. He was evacuating the residents of Jiangcheng County as a criminal policeman. One reason was to save lives, and the other was that he did not want these ordinary people to become food for this unknown and weird creature.

No, it is no longer unknown and weird.

"Now, I will share the information I have with you."

Li Shaoheng forwarded an urgent intelligence message from the company headquarters in the group. He glanced at Ji Shinian who had been unconscious for who knows how long, and couldn't help but look at a young woman next to him who was yawning constantly.

This mysterious manager, who had never appeared in the patient communication group, looked like a young woman in her early twenties, but she was wearing clothes that did not belong to this era.

She wore round-framed glasses, had her long hair braided into two outdated pigtails, and a cloth dress cut into a neatly cut shirt and skirt. At first glance, you would think she came out of a film set in the Republic of China.
