These weird things are all mine

In addition, there were several members of the local awakening organization watching nervously from the side.

When he saw Li Shaoheng, he took the initiative to come forward and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Li, I have long heard of you. My name is Lu Fangling."

Hearing this name, Li Shaoheng was stunned for a moment, and also stretched out his hand to shake it.

"Hello, I don't think... I've heard of you much, you?"

When I was temporarily staying in a company branch not far away, I didn't seem to have heard of her.

"It's just that the 'boundaries' of activity are different." Lu Fangling smiled slightly.

She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the local awakening organization. A woman dressed in the style of the Republic of China noticed her gaze and hid herself slightly.

Since the "company" reached its peak earlier, it was able to set up branches within various "boundaries". Even other organizations that wanted to cross the "boundaries" had to seek help from the company.

It can be said that no matter which "boundary" there is power belonging to the company, and the various divisions of each "boundary" are different.

By mastering the ability to cross "boundaries", the company has been able to develop into the largest organization of awakened people. More than two-thirds of normal awakened people have registered with the company, making it a well-deserved behemoth.

Precisely because it has so many awakened people, the company sometimes has to shoulder certain responsibilities, such as dealing with the "high-risk and strange" disasters in front of it.

Of course, this is not entirely without benefits. At least the holy remains formed after killing the weird are the most useful universal currency in the world of awakeners.

"Every hatchery has its own rules. You should know these, right?" Li Shaoheng seemed to be asking, but there was some uncertainty in his tone.

P7 specialists are high-level awakeners, and P8 specialists are high-level awakeners who have come into contact with "power". A few of them... such as Li Shaoheng, have sacrificial vessels that can use "power".

Therefore, not all P8 specialists can be compared with him, so Li Shaoheng wants to confirm whether the old woman in front of him has the same strength as him.

"Haha, I seem to be looked down upon."

Lu Fangling said cheerfully, but her eyes couldn't stop glancing in the direction of the people in the patient exchange group.

"Please forgive me." Li Shaoheng lowered his head.

"Don't worry, I've dealt with more troublesome things than this before." Lu Fangling raised her head slightly and looked at the twisted hatchery not far away. "Old man Ji didn't seem to tell you that I'm his ex-wife?"

"what?"

Li Shaoheng was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this before.

But, since Ji Shinian has a closer relationship in the "company" than him...

Wait, ex-wife?

It doesn't seem that close.

However, after dealing with the "high-risk and weird" disaster, coupled with this age, she has been constantly looking at the Republic of China women in the communication group...

"Located at the "boundary" of the Republic of China? The capital?"

"That's good to know. I don't want to say anything more."

Lu Fangling glanced at Li Shaoheng, and just one glance made him feel pressured.

"I'll be in charge of guarding the periphery, is that ok?" Lu Fangling raised an eyebrow, "You have to take good care of my people. It doesn't matter if they lose arms and legs, or die a few, but don't fail to bring back any of them."

Upon hearing this, the P7 specialists nearby all smiled bitterly. It was obvious that they had known that this trip to the hatchery would be a do-or-die battle and that their lives would be in danger.

"...certainly."

What else could Li Shaoheng say? He had originally planned to take charge, but the person in front of him was obviously more experienced than him, so he could only obey his orders.

Just before leaving, an unexpected person came to see him.

"I remember your name is...Liu Qian?" Li Shaoheng frowned and asked.

Elsa nodded slightly and clenched her fists slightly.

She wanted to go into the hatchery with the team.

Originally, An Yu also wanted to join in, but she really couldn't overcome the psychological shadow.

"But no, you're too weak."

Li Shaoheng shook his head. Even if he possessed strange abilities, the strength of a mid-level awakener was still not enough.

Even Cen Xiangyun was sent back to the company branch, not to mention this little sister named Liu Qian.

"If you really care about the White Witch, then wait for news here."

Li Shaoheng sighed, then turned and walked towards the hatchery with the team.

"Perhaps, not knowing is good news," he muttered to himself.

......

"Xiao Ling? Is get out of class over so early?"

In the kitchen, the sister sat up and looked in surprise at the white-haired girl who walked in from the door.

Before her surprised expression was even half revealed, a cold sword light flashed.

It was cut in half in an instant.

Blood and flesh were splattered and corpses were scattered.

Luo Ling stood silently in front of her sister's body, looking indifferently at the blood flowing on the ground, counting silently in her heart.

"Three...two...one..."

The blood turned into pus, and the body that was cut in half turned into broken fungi, lying on the ground.

The extended hyphae gently wrapped around Luo Ling's ankle, like a sister's gentle caress.

But Luo Ling knew that these were all fake.

It's a puppet rumor.

"The thirty-second one."

Luo Ling killed thirty-two sisters with her own hands, and each of them was as real as her memory, kind and gentle.

But they are all fake.

All...are fake.

She entered the game alone, competing with the most powerful "egg" of Puppet Rumor for nutrients in the hatchery. She would be affected by it, just like the last fight in the underground cave in Baiyan Village.

The "egg" wanted to eat her, so she had to eat the "egg".

Gnaw, tear, swallow.

End.

It was like a dream starting over again, and Luo Ling naturally went shopping with her sister.

Her sister held her arm, the familiar scent clinging to her, and they walked past a beautiful skirt, slowing down their pace.

Luo Ling recognized the skirt; it was the one her sister had been obsessed with the last time she and her sister were shopping in the mall.

Quite expensive for my sister.

She only looked at him a few more times and then hurried away, as if she was afraid of being seduced away.

"The thirty-third."

Knife up and down.

It was still the sister's body that fell down, and the people around who were fleeing in panic looked at Luo Ling, who was covered in blood, in horror.

This time, even after silently reciting it dozens of times, my sister's body did not turn into fungus.

Luo Ling stood there for a long time, and it seemed that the police had arrived nearby.

The noisy exclamations of the crowd mixed with the slight panic in Luo Ling's heart, as if to pull her away from her cold heart.

She squatted down slightly and picked up her sister's body parts.

He continued his previous actions woodenly.

All the sounds gradually faded away, the mottled colors dimmed, and there was endless silence again.

End again.

...My sister is dead.

All the sisters that appear are fake, no matter how real they are, they are still fake, they are all puppet rumors.

Only by eating them all and swallowing them all can we truly save everything and fulfill Ji Ying's last wish.

Luo Ling told himself this.

The puppet wanted to use her memories with her sister to kill her, and it really thought it could defeat itself in this way.

It's ridiculous.

"The thirty-fourth."

"The thirty-fifth."

"..."

Unconsciously, the black ice seemed to have been melted into bloodstains that could not be washed away, and the tip of the strange blade was stained with dots of bright red.

Luo Ling raised his head and looked around, and found that there were only broken walls and ruins all around. High-rise buildings covered with fungi had collapsed, and broken corpses could be seen everywhere on the road.

The fungus strain that had grown to the point of reaching the sky was now showing an unprecedented decline. This "egg" filled with Ji Ying's hatred and despair had reached its end.

But the battle is not over yet.

It’s not over until it’s completely swallowed up.

Luo Ling held the sword in his backhand and continued to move closer to the fungus strain along the broken steel bars and shattered stones.

At this moment, some strange noises suddenly appeared behind Luo Ling.

She turned her head and vaguely saw some figures swaying.

In a trance, tall buildings seemed to rise from the ground again, and the endless stream of people and vehicles were moving in an orderly manner on the paved road again.

In front of the flashing red and green traffic lights, pedestrians were staring at her with strange and wooden eyes.

"Is this another illusion in memory?"

"You've learned your lesson. You no longer let your sister show up..."

"But the result is still the same."

Luo Ling raised the dagger slightly, pointed it at the passers-by who were staring at him eagerly, and said softly,

"No matter how many times it takes, I will accompany you to the end."

The silver-white girl stood alone on the ruins, her terrifying pure white eyes looking down at the people who broke into the hatchery.

"The target has been found! Everyone be alert, the target is showing strong aggressiveness!"

Chapter 4: Human Conspiracy (5k)

This was not the first time for everyone present to enter a hatchery, but it was basically the first time for everyone to enter a hatchery like this one, which had just been formed and was highly dangerous and strange.

Generally speaking, the weird hatcheries are quite hidden. After all, they are barriers set up by the weird to protect the hatching process itself. Just like in Baiyan Village, it is more important to hide one's own existence than to restrict intruders in the hatchery.

Therefore, by the time a hatchery is discovered, it is usually some time after it has been established.

The stronger the monster, the longer it takes to hatch. Even dangerous monsters take as short as a few years and as long as several decades.

But a hatch as unexpected as this one... is truly unheard of.

Therefore, even though they are all high-level awakeners, everyone in the company is very cautious.

After forcibly breaking through the hatchery's barrier, Li Shaoheng and others cautiously crossed the dividing line and finally stepped into the hatchery.

Looking at the miserable corpses and traces left by strange creatures everywhere, and looking further away, flesh, blood, buildings, and hyphae are intertwined with each other.

What's even more terrifying is that some of the strange creatures are still moving. Beneath their cracked flesh are wriggling mycelium, but their movements are the same as usual, just like ordinary humans walking and working in an ordinary city.

The machine numbly yet vividly repeats everything that happened in life.

Looking up slightly, I saw huge and ferocious fungal strains sitting on several collapsed buildings in the distance, and the radiating hyphae extended into the underground of the city. This was the destination of this trip.

Even though they were all veterans who had experienced many battles, the bizarre and terrifying scene before them still made several of the younger P7 specialists turn pale.

"...It's not much different from the scene in Baiyan Village."
