    Chapter 34 Rainbow Potion

    An Wujiu's heart seemed to be caught by something.

    But soon, this feeling disappeared, because Shen Ti's hand suddenly rested on his shoulder carelessly, and his fingertips lightly tapped. An Wu Jiu looked sideways at the hand covered by the leather glove, then turned to look at Shen Ti's face.

    Shen Ti didn't look at him, and looked up at the two signs, "Why do I think that the better the name is, the more likely it is to be something shady."

    An Wu Jiu gave up and took his hand away, because with Shen Ti's temper, he would only put it up again.

    "Maybe it really is." Zhong Yirou said.

    When they were discussing the song, An Wu Jiu looked around and finally fell back to the green wall that was diagonally opposite to him and belonged to [Rainbow Baby].

    There is a cartoon mural carefully drawn on it. An adult in a farmer's uniform is followed by a group of children in the same clothes. They are all holding herbicide spraying devices. Everyone is working hard. There is a cloud in the sky. There is also a line of words written on the cloud.

    [Rancho Action]

    The nursery rhyme continued to be sung, as if it had no end. Joyful singing makes this layer a miniature playground, at least much more cheerful than the first.

    The hopping brown bear passed them again, only this time, he opened his mouth.

    "Welcome to you! Welcome to you!" The little bear turned around and faced them, but still jumped at the previous frequency, the sound was a synthetic electronic sound, full of cartoon feeling.

    "We welcome strange children, different children, all kinds of children!"

    This kind of childlike thing can no longer arouse the interest of adults, so no one cares.

    Only An Wujiu frowned, feeling weird about his expression.

    Weird kid...

    The little bear seemed to be about to leave, but before jumping away, he paused again, "Oh, by the way, there is a circus performance tonight! Mr. Clown, please open the door of the circus on time!"

    After finishing speaking, the little bear jumped and continued to complete its task of circling the corridor. But Josh was stunned.

    "Mr. Clown...is it me?"

    Shen Ti got a lollipop from somewhere and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, "It seems so."

    "You are the staff on this floor." Zhong Yirou pointed to his badge.

    Nan Shan smiled and said, "According to the rules of the game on the previous layer, as long as we can find the work log of this layer, that is, Mr. Josh's specific work, and then crack the door, we may be able to find the fragments of the key."

    Josh nodded, and felt the pressure instantly. This layer was different from the previous one, and there was only one staff member.

    "This song makes people panic." Zhong Yirou couldn't help but complain, "Is there a system interacting just now? Can you close it?"

    "This song should also have meaning." Wu You whispered.

    The silent Yang Erci spoke at this time, "There is a legend that the United Kingdom in the old earth era had a war with another country. In order to stop the invasion of enemy soldiers, the king ordered the London Bridge to be burned down. Later, when the war ended, he wanted to rebuild it again. The bridge collapsed many times during the construction process, and it was very difficult, so someone came up with a way to let the gods protect them and build the bridge smoothly."

    "How?" Josh asked.

    "The children are tied to the bridge pillars, and the adult pillars are poured with cement and other materials to serve as the bridge foundation. Use this method of human sacrifice to pray for the smooth operation of the project."

    "How is this possible?" Josh shook his head, "This legend is too terrifying."

    Talking about folklore, Nan Shan seems to have the confidence of a professional counterpart, "It's hard to say whether this matter is true or not, it is estimated that two parts are true and eight parts are false. But living people are used as sacrifices, from ancient times to the present. ,Too much."

    "This is due to the weakness and evasion in the primitive nature of human beings. If they cannot solve problems, they rely on the so-called gods." An Wujiu made a rather cold conclusion, and then changed the subject.

    "We won't be in groups this time, let's go to the corridor on the left first." After that, he turned around and went to the corridor pointing to [Rainbow Baby].

    It is not clear what kind of mentality it is, An Wujiu finds it difficult to accept that someone will treat other people's life like a piece of shit because of their belief in a certain god.

    Whether these innocent blood was dedicated to God or the desire in their hearts, no one knows.

    "This room can't be opened." Zhong Yirou released her hand and called Josh to try, "You are a staff member, come and see if you can."

    However, when Josh tried to open the door, a line of words like a rainbow appeared on the pink door.

    [D03, today is play day, the children are not at home. ]

    "Strange, you can't open it either."

    They took a few more steps forward and tried something else. To be on the safe side, An Wujiu and Shen Ti walked at the back, Nan Shan and Wu You were in the middle. An Wu Jiu noticed that Nan Shan had been staring at the painted murals on the wall, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"

    Nan Shan knew he was talking to himself, but he didn't look back, just stared at the painting on the wall. The painting is actually very simple: the weather on the sea is sunny and sunny, and many children are sitting in small boats, playing and laughing. But below the sea is another scene. The color of the sea bottom is gloomy, and there are many children who are calm, almost all of them are smiling with their eyes closed and their faces serene.

    "I'm watching the sacrifice of living people." Nan Shan finally opened her mouth and pointed her finger at the wall, "Sacrifices are especially fond of virgins, because they symbolize the highest purity and beauty of human beings."

    An Wujiu also saw it, "Would a shelter center really put such a terrifying mural?"

    "Adults always have a reason." Wu You gave an example, "For example, let me tell you that children who are disobedient will fall into the bottom of the sea."

    Shen Ti couldn't feel grief or regret, he just felt that these sacrifice methods were not to his taste. If he was a god, he must choose the most sinful guy in the world. This kind of living person sacrificed and let them feel the unknown. The fear of death and the infinite approaching death, and then frantically confessing his evil deeds in the last minute of his life, but to no avail.

    That's interesting.

    What is bullying a child?

    "These can't be opened either!" Zhong Yirou shouted from the front.

    "Don't go around the corner."

    The four people behind also planned to follow, and were about to lift their feet when Shen Ti suddenly felt something touching him at his feet, and bowed his head, it was a small tin can with orange stripes painted on it.

    He planned to bend over to pick it up, before doing this, he reached out to grab An Wu Jiu's sleeve, and then picked up that strange jar.

    "Why are you holding me?"

    "Of course I'm afraid you'll run away." Shen Ti straightened up, tossed the small jar in his hand, found that there was liquid in it, and then threw it into An Wujiu's arms, "What if I'm on the order? You're not worried about me at all."

    What to worry about. An Wu Jiu took the small jar.

    He was worried about whether ghosts and monsters would be played by Shen Ti.

    Continuing to walk forward, An Wujiu simply looked down at the small jar because there was a body pulling his sleeves, there was only one word written on it - orange.

    But soon, his toes were blocked by something. At first glance, it is a tin jar, but this one is decorated with purple stripes on the tin with the words -purple written on it.

    "What's in here?"

    An Wu Jiu raised his head when he heard the sound, and found that Zhong Yirou and the others were also holding different small jars, even blue and red.

    "There are so many colors." Josh looked at the jar in his hand and wanted to open it, but An Wujiu stopped him.

    "Don't open it, there might be something bad in it."

    As soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound, An Wu Jiu felt uneasy, when he turned around, he saw countless small jars appearing at the other end of the corridor behind him, but these jars all flew up, close to the ceiling, like A tiny helicopter.

    At the same time, the jars in their hands also seemed to have life, they broke free and flew up, An Wujiu narrowed his eyes, a premonition made him think of something, so he shouted: "Cover your nose and mouth!"

    Sure enough, in the next second, the rainbow-colored cans sprayed out a uniform and fine mist of liquid. These liquids exuded the pungent smell of disinfectants, which were obviously chemical products.

    Everyone covered their mouths and noses and ran forward. Nan Shan took off the gas mask around his neck and stuffed it into Wu You's hand. Wu You was stunned for a moment, and he was forced to put on the mask.

    "You are a child, you use it."

    They responded quickly, but these cans were so densely packed that they were like locusts passing through, and they couldn't escape at all.

    Running around the corner, An Wu Jiu saw the little boy with two heads again, he was standing in the middle of the road, his eyes were wet, as if he was about to cry.

    When the beautiful jars flew over his head, he raised his two heads and looked directly at the fine and cold rainbow potion. The crystal clear liquid mist is like a spring rain, moisturizing the earth and nourishing children like him. The soft water droplets blend into every texture of his skin.

    An Wu Jiu didn't even think about it, he directly grabbed the child and led him forward.

    It was not until they ran through the half corridor on this floor and came to the domain belonging to the [Double Perfect Angel], those rainbow-colored can planes finally stopped, wandering in place, but unable to cross the line.

    Entering the temporary safe area, An Wu Jiu bowed his head again and found that the child disappeared again.

    "Did you see that kid?"

    Shen Ti nodded, but no one other than him seemed to have seen his existence.

    The smell of the potion was strong, and Josh still covered his mouth and nose, looking at the roaring "rainbow" on the ceiling in disbelief.

    "What exactly are in these jars?"

    The others were also unknown, but soon, they had strange reactions. Zhong Yirou and Yang Erci felt an incomparable abdominal pain and could only bend down to relieve it, but Josh felt that the skin on his face was about to melt, and kept touching his face. He looked at Nanshan and wanted to ask for help, but saw One of Nanshan's arms fell directly to the ground, bleeding continuously, so he screamed.

    Josh's scream was like a sharp thorn piercing into Wu You's heart. He wore a gas mask, as if there was no strange pain, but he felt a little cold in his stomach. Looking down, his lab coat seemed to be corroded by something. .

    His stomach and half of his ribcage were completely exposed to the air, shockingly.

    An Wu Jiu saw that everyone's body became deformed, he also spit out a mouthful of black blood, and then the seven orifices bleed, and the fingers of both hands began to fall one by one.

    Zhong Yirou almost curled up to the corner of the wall, her forehead was full of sweat, "What the hell is going on..."

    An Wu Jiu felt that the blood in his mouth kept gushing out, the pain was so severe that he almost hollowed out his entire body. He looked at Shen Ti subconsciously, but found that he was intact, standing behind him with his hands behind his back, nothing happened.

    But behind Shen Ti, there were many snake tail-like things, wrapped in a thin layer of slimy liquid, rubbing, wandering, and detouring on the shiny pink floor, and finally came to An Wu Jiu's feet.

    Those snake tails came from bottom to top, wrapping around his legs little by little.

    He turned his face to the side and saw that Shen Ti's hands behind him were placed by his side.

    Those hands are the source of the snake's tail.

    An Wu Jiu subconsciously wanted to step back, but because he was entangled, he almost fell backward, so he was caught by both hands, it was Shen Ti's hand.

    In just a second, his hands had changed back into those snake-patterned hands.

    Those thick and flexible snake tails disappeared.

    "Just now your hand..."

    "I know." Shen Ti saw the panic in his eyes, "I don't know why it suddenly became like that."

    An Wu Jiu looked down at his hands, all ten fingers were intact and did not fall off. He immediately looked at Wu You, his previously exposed internal organs had also changed back to the fabric of the lab coat.

    Everyone has changed, and what happened just now is like a nightmare, but not quite.

    Those black and red blood that An Wu Jiao spat out did not disappear.

    "I seem to know what this is."

    Yang Erci stood up against the wall with a heavy expression on her pale face, "These jars should contain rainbow herbicide, and the orange one is Agent Orange. These potions are mixed with toxic substances, dioxins."

    "These things were supposed to be used for weeding, but in a war a long time ago, they were used to clear visual barriers."

    Hearing this, Nan Shan has already closed his eyes and started to recite the Rebirth Mantra silently.

    Zhong Yirou also remembered something, "There is indeed such a thing. It seems that because the vegetation at the combat site is very dense and highly concealed, in order to expose the enemy and cut off their military ration supply, the US military simply uses aircraft to directly Spray. Dioxin is a substance that is difficult to be metabolized by the human body. It has a half-life of nine years, and it will be absorbed along the food chain for a second cycle..."

    "That's right." Yang Erci nodded, "I have seen information about this biochemical disaster. They sprayed more than 70 million liters of highly toxic herbicides for nine years, not only killing the Vegetation finally entered the human body, and even the breast milk of local women was full of dioxins. So, after this..."

    Her always cold face was a little moved at this moment.

    "Countless deformed children were born in the local concentration."

    An Wujiu understood.

    From the two-headed boy at the beginning to the jar later, their distortions are all reminders of this bloody past.

    For nine years, these poisonous rainbow potions floated in their sky.

    After a moment of silence, the little bear jumped in front of them again, but this time, he only had one arm and one leg left with the rainbow potion, so he could only jump on one foot, just like playing hopscotch.

    "You are welcome! You are welcome!"

    "Rainbow baby is welcome here, deformity is another kind of beauty!"

    The author has something to say:

    ① "Agent Orange" pollution occurred during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, and this year marks the 60th anniversary of the Agent Orange disaster. The US military released 76 million liters of herbicides containing highly toxic substances for nine years (they named it "Operation Rancher"), which is a very serious biochemical pollution. For details, you can search for it (the pictures will be more terrible), or you can watch the documentary "Toxic Legacy".

    By the way, this herbicide was also spearheaded by DePauw, although the original inventor's original intention was to kill weeds.

    The man who cast the bridge is a legend, and there was a novel by Li Bihua about this legend. But the rancher action is real, and the damage continues to this day.
