Chapter 28 Hero Town (28)
Hearing the familiar number 7013, Jiang Ying rubbed her fingertips in the photo and paused without a trace.
Combined with what the man said to him before the two separated in the early morning, he can be sure that the wanted criminal these people want to arrest is the SSS-level boss he met at night.
Jiang Ying never thought of telling the truth.
Even if 7013 is not his savior, he can't tell these people about these things.
Tell them he saw 7013 at the pet breeding base?
Then they would ask, what was 7013 doing at that time, and what was his trajectory last night.
How did Jiang Ying answer?
Said that 7013 suddenly jumped out to save him, and held his hand shyly, wanting to be good friends with him?
If he dared to say such a thing, these people dared to take him back for investigation and interrogation.
Since they knew that he had gone to the pet breeding base, they should have gone to the base to watch the surveillance before coming here.
If he was not arrested immediately, it means that 7013 has already dealt with the clues from the base.As long as he doesn't yell, he won't cause trouble.
Thoughts flashed by, Jiang Ying casually put away the photo: "I will pay attention."
The leading woman didn't say anything more.
She turned around and was about to leave when the team member who had been standing quietly behind her suddenly said hesitantly: "This child looks a bit like 7013."
As soon as he spoke, everyone present turned to look at the boy behind Xiao La.
The boy seemed to be frightened, and his immature body began to tremble slightly.
The woman bent down and looked carefully for a while, "It's kind of like it."
Another team member also leaned over, took out the photos and compared them repeatedly: "Indeed, the shape of the eyes is very similar."
"Could it be that 7013 has shrunk?"
"No, no, the skin color doesn't match, he's not as white as 7013."
"Really, doesn't 7013 still have a lot of unknown skills. Maybe he can turn into a child. Do you want to give him a check?"
A total of four people came to the future alliance, one female captain and three male players.
They huddled together in the doorway, the eyes behind the masks looking straight at the boy.The team member who spoke first grabbed the boy's wrist.I want to pull him out from behind Xiao La, so that it looks clearer.
Qin Huo lowered his head and peeked at Jiang Ying from the corner of his eye.
He thought about the possibility of being recognized, and that was what he wanted.
Jiang Ying has clearly seen that these people are not easy to mess with. If they want to take him away, will Jiang Ying defend him?
Xiao La didn't understand the situation, and while pushing the man in front of her to prevent them from touching the boss's child, she looked at the boss in bewilderment.
Jiang Ying frowned and clicked her tongue irritably.
He compared the photos for a long time, but he didn't see any similarities between Xiao Qin and 7013.
Are they blind?
Several people discussed for a while, and finally decided to give Qin Huo a checkup.
The killing intent flashed in Qin Huo's eyes, and then he seemed to be frightened, and the circles of his eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.The cheeks that were still slightly pink turned pale in an instant.
He was trembling all over, pushing and shoving the woman's hand, trying to shrink back.
Finally, after the woman took out the needle and grabbed him to draw his blood, the boy burst into tears.
He let go of Xiao La's pants, and stretched out his hand in the direction of Jiang Ying, crying.
As soon as she heard the boy's cry, Jiang Ying's anger, which had been suppressed in her heart, suddenly rushed up.
To his prudence and sanity.
He suddenly pulled out his gun, aimed at the female captain's head, and warned in a low voice: "Release him, or I will shoot."
The other team members reacted quickly and drew their guns at Jiang Ying at the same time: "Put down the gun."
Jiang Ying's eyes became extremely fierce, with blue veins on her forehead: "You let go of my child first."
"Put the gun down!"
"Don't let go! You bastards scared him to tears, let go of my son! Otherwise, I'll break her!"
The two sides confronted each other, and the female captain, whose head was held by a gun, spoke first: "I just drew a tube of blood, and it won't hurt him."
Jiang Ying was so annoyed by the female captain's words that she laughed out loud, "You grabbed his arm without saying a word, making his arm black and blue. You didn't even disinfect it. Where did you get it? I don't know how many times you used it."I just wanted to draw blood for him. He is only four years old, and he canβt even reach your waist when he jumps up. Why do you treat him like a criminal.β
The female captain didn't say a word, and slightly loosened her grip on the boy.
Jiang Ying pointed a gun at her, walked over slowly, and dragged Qin Huo behind her.
"If he is really the wanted criminal you are looking for, why didn't he hide in the house just now, and insisted on running to the door and waiting for you to find the abnormality. When you want to take a blood test, the criminal will not be on the spot when you are in a hurryMurder? Could it be that he is like a child who can't even resist when he is frightened, but only wipes his tears from fear?"
The female captain was silent for a moment, feeling that what Jiang Ying said made sense.
She put away the needle, got up and nodded apologetically to Jiang Ying: "I was reckless."
Seeing her relaxed attitude, Jiang Ying also put down the gun in her hand.
From the behavior of this group of people, it can be seen that they are trying hard to appear polite and friendly.But the arrogance engraved in his bones couldn't be hidden no matter what.
They instinctively thought that Jiang Ying and Qin Huo should listen to their arrangements.
That's why it was like picking a commodity, holding the boy to fiddle with it.If you want to pinch his face, you can do it directly, and if you have any doubts about him, you can draw his blood casually.
Jiang Ying saw the strength of the three team members with the eyes of observation, and their overall average level is only A level, which is not very good.
He glanced at the boy's bruised wrist, and completely lost his affection for the future alliance.
The female captain didn't embarrass them anymore, and took the team members to leave.
One of the team members walked a few steps and looked back again.
Teammates behind him shoved him and told him to hurry up.
The man whispered a few words in the ears of his teammates, and the two turned their heads to look at Jiang Ying at the same time, and began to talk in low voices.
The distance was too far and the sound was too low, Jiang Ying couldn't hear what they were saying.
Qin Huo hugged Jiang Ying's leg and looked at the two men with cold eyes.
He heard them discussing Jiang Ying, saying that the little black mole under the corner of his mouth looked real.Angry, want to kiss a few times to try the feeling.Thin waist and long legs have a good figure, and the appearance of pointing a gun at someone looks fierce and spicy.
Before the two could finish speaking, the female captain who was walking in front suddenly turned around and punched each of them.
Then she nodded apologetically in the direction of Jiang Ying.
Seeing the crying boy hiding behind Jiang Ying, the female captain paused for a few seconds, then took off the mask to reveal a cold and fair face.
She held up her mask and bowed, with an imperceptible trace of sincere apology in her cold tone.
"Sorry, I was being reckless."
After speaking, she took out a small box from her satchel and threw it at Jiang Ying.It didn't matter whether Jiang Ying answered or not, she just put on a mask and left.
It wasn't until several people walked into the elevator that Jiang Ying tried to poke the box on the ground with the broom brought by Xiao La.
Confirming that it was all right, he leaned over to pick up the box, and brought Qin Huo and Xiao La back into the house.
ββββ
Xiao La feels that she did not protect the boss's son, and now she blames herself.He didn't ask who those people were, and went to the kitchen with his head down and his tail down to prepare meals.
Xia Xia was still lying on the sofa. She was in a deep sleep. The big movement just now didn't wake her up.
Jiang Ying locked the door and carried Qin Huo to the bedroom.
The boy kept crying, shivering in his arms.His appearance made Jiang Ying very distressed.
He imitated the way his mother coaxed him when he was a child, blowing on the boy's wrist with bruises, and comforting him softly: "Blow it, it will fly away in pain. Xiao Qin is the bravest child, he will not cry or cry."
Affected by the moderate curse, Jiang Ying's head started throbbing again.
He bit his lower lip, patted Qin Huo's back over and over again, and wiped away the tears on his face.
After a few minutes, he heard the boy's sobbing voice from his arms, "Brother, why did you protect me just now? Is it because I cried?"
Jiang Ying pinched the tip of his nose amusedly.
Putting his hands on Jiang Ying's chest, Qin Huo raised his head and asked softly, "If I didn't cry just now, would you protect me?"
Before Jiang Ying could answer, he said to himself again: "If they don't step back, they must draw blood and take me away, will you still protect me?"
These three consecutive questions directly made Jiang Ying suspicious. He subconsciously pressed the gun on his waist, and quickly withdrew his hand.
When she first met Qin Huo, Jiang Ying also thought about whether he might be a child disguised as an adult.This suspicion quickly weakens in daily relationships, and finally disappears completely.
Those questions just now didn't sound like something a child could ask, but he had already figured out a reasonable explanation in his heart.
The boy was forced to leave his parents and met all kinds of monsters in the dungeon.No matter how young and ignorant he is, he will still be afraid and know that this place is dangerous.
Maybe the reason why he asked these questions was just because he was too insecure.
Jiang Ying placed a comforting kiss on the boy's smooth forehead, and stretched out her little finger to hook him.
"No matter what happens, I will never abandon you. You are still young, you don't have to think too much when you encounter danger, just let me handle it. I will protect you. If you are afraid, you can hide in my arms, it's okay, Xiao Qin."
Before he finished speaking, the boy buried his face in his chest, grabbed his clothes tightly, and asked in a vague voice, "Will you never leave me?"
Jiang Ying patted him on the back, "Of course."
Where Jiang Ying couldn't see, Qin Huo raised the corners of his mouth and showed a happy smile.
Jiang Ying was the first to defend him. He said that he would never leave him, and they would never be separated for the rest of their lives.
He also has friends.
ββββ
After putting the child to sleep, Jiang Ying finally had time to do her own thing.
He opened the small iron box given to him by the female captain and saw a ring inside.
The moment he got the ring, his phone vibrated and a message popped up.
"Special props: lucky ring (cannot be obtained in ordinary dungeons, can only be purchased in the mall or obtained through special means)"
"Item introduction: There is a 5% chance of getting good luck. Every time it is triggered, the good luck takes effect for 1 minute"
"Term explanation-good luck: Luck is also a part of strength. Players with good luck can avoid all dangers. Even bullets will go around him/her"
Judging from the shape, this is a lady's ring.
The box was unopened, and the female captain just bought it and gave it to them before she had time to open it to have a look.
It didn't suit Jiang Ying to wear it on any finger, and since it was a gift from the female captain to Qin Huo, he decided to string a rope and use it as a necklace for Qin Huo.
After eating, Xiao La continued to treat Xia Xia's wound, while Jiang Ying hid in the kitchen and smoked by the window.
The drifting smoke blocked his sight, and he pursed his lips, sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
He remembered everything that the SSS-level boss said.In the next two or three days, he will not go out again.
With enough clues investigated in the pet breeding base, Doudou's branch line is no longer so important, allowing 'I Love Physics' to find an opportunity to continue investigating.
If the investigation fails, it will have no effect on him.
Connecting the known clues together, Jiang Ying has a rough guess about this dungeon.
ββββ
The setting of this dungeon is a sci-fi doomsday.
The sudden appearance of the "curseΒ·mental abnormality-statue" plunged the whole world into chaos and the order of human society collapsed.
In order to fight against the curse, human beings have produced instruments that can detect the level of mental power, and conduct mental power tests on everyone.
And on them, print the corresponding level of mental power.
It can also be seen from this that the people here have no way to improve their spiritual power.
At least in their eyes, the level of mental power is innate and fixed.
With the successful research and development of powerful psychotropic drugs, human beings finally found a way to fight against the curse.
After testing, they found that Class A can be permanently immune to curses through injections, and Class S can be born immune to curses.
People help each other as they search for a way to permanently break the curse.
People at level A and above become the main force against the curse.
People below A level are regularly injected with strong mental potions to suppress the curse.Working hard to survive has become an ordinary and essential cornerstone to ensure the normal functioning of society.
But with the passage of time, the strong spirit potion can't resist the curse's attack on the spirit.
This can be seen from the members of the pet base.
They are all A-level, and they must have been injected with strong psychotropic drugs.But they must wear protective clothing to work near the source of the curse.
The powerful spiritual potion that was once thought to lead mankind to victory has completely disappointed mankind.
And the trust in the medicine also indirectly led to the demise of one or more cities.
The role played by Jiang Ying is the most direct example.
On his personal information, he deliberately used a description, "The city he lives in is out of the control of the government"
The disaster didn't come suddenly. The curse had been secretly spreading in the city for a long time, and finally concentrated on a certain day and broke out completely.
And 'Jiang Ying' was born 110 years after the disaster, and the psychotropic drug was successfully developed about 70 years after the disaster.
It can be confirmed that all the people in the city have been injected with strong psychotropic drugs.
The curse has become stronger silently, and the low-level people who will regularly inject medicines have no problems for the time being.
Those A-level humans who were judged to be permanently immune to the curse were defenseless against the curse, and they were the first to lose control.
A handful of S-class humans were unable to contend with a group of out-of-control A-class teammates, and the guardians of the city were the first to start killing each other.
The upper class is busy going crazy, and the lower class people can no longer obtain more powerful spiritual potions from the government.And the medicine that was originally measured could no longer suppress the curse.
In the end, the citizens fled to death, and a prosperous city disappeared completely.
Strong spiritual potions could not stop the spread of the curse, and human beings began to look for new ways.
They discovered the law of action of the "mental abnormality-statue", and determined that it would only go to the next human gathering place when all the surrounding creatures were dead.
After detecting the place where the source of the curse appeared, they immediately sealed off the town and prohibited anyone from going out.
That small town is the heroic town where Jiang Ying lives.
Maybe the town wasn't originally called such a strange name.
Perhaps in the eyes of people in this world, the people in the small town are both victims and heroes who prevent the spread of the curse.
Not long after, the aborigines in the town were affected by the curse and became mentally disturbed.
Their thinking has mutated, and they used to be bloody.Violence, unacceptable things, are normal and reasonable in their eyes.
Although no direct evidence was found, Jiang Ying suspects that outsiders also took corresponding countermeasures when deciding to sacrifice Hero Town.
From the character profile of 'Jiang Ying', it can be seen that when those human beings lost control, they would attack others indiscriminately.There is no reason, only killing.
And the townspeople seem to have been deliberately guided.
They are crazy but not completely crazy. They will not suddenly run out and chop people in the street, but will find a reasonable excuse for what they did.
For example, if you want to kill your partner, you will frame your partner for mental infidelity, or secretly make them lose their jobs.
If you want to kill a passerby, you will press the force on him.The name of the rapist.
Threatened by Jiang Ying with a gun, she still knew she was afraid to give up.I usually go out to go shopping and live like a normal person.
This, to a certain extent, increased the survival rate of the townspeople.
Although the townspeople will still hurt people because of the curse, they will not die in one breath.
After the number of townspeople decreases, outsiders will drive other out-of-control people into the town, such as 'Jiang Ying' and the like.
They were completely out of control, and the powerful spiritual potions that were already powerless against the curse had little effect on them.
Jiang Ying didn't know how the townspeople kept their sanity, but he knew that this matter must be the handiwork of the pet breeding base.
From the clues found in the investigation, it can be seen that the breeding base is trying its best to improve the powerful spirit medicine and cultivate species stronger than human beings to fight against the curse.
They will regularly capture townspeople and buy corpses from the town.
Breed townspeople with low levels of mental power directly into pet dogs.People with high mental strength, like Xiao La, are used for experiments.
Xiao La couldn't understand what the experiment was about, and Jiang Ying didn't understand either.
He thinks it may be to improve the strong spirit medicine.
Xia Xia, who had been locked up for a few days, probably knew about it.
In addition to living people, they also process recovered corpses.
Those that were successfully transformed were placed in the base for research, such as the weird experimental body seen last night.
From the monsters with strong self-healing power, we can see the research focus of the pet research base.
The source of the curse will go to the next area after the surrounding creatures die.
As long as they can research a life that will not die, or a creature that is difficult to die easily and can retain the source of the curse, they can close the curse forever.
Humanity will usher in true peace.
The experimental products that failed to be transformed were sold as pets, such as monsters with cat heads and human bodies, and skewers with human heads.
The pets produced in the breeding base all have mechanical bugs hidden in their bodies.
They can capture images, collect blood, and kill their targets outright if necessary.
In the previous conversation with the NPC, Jiang Ying learned that every townsman in this town is at home and has pets.
The breeding base uses this method to monitor the situation in the town in real time to ensure that there will be no major disturbances in the town.
And use the mechanical bugs in the pet in time to deal with the out-of-control townspeople.
In Jiang Ying's conjecture, the reason why the head string raised by the convenience store owner on the first night has been chasing him and "I'm up to me" is to get their blood samples.
The metal ball containing his blood was still in his pocket.
Jiang Ying has already figured out the general situation of the town.
But he still has a lot of questions that he doesn't understand.
Who is watching him, how they monitor the town, and why they want to buy him as a pet dog.
Why would a group of townspeople suddenly return to normal.
Why didn't the pet breeding base help them, and allowed these townspeople who seemed to break the curse on their own to die, and even attacked them.
Jiang Ying lit another cigarette.
He felt that while the town was working hard to shut down the source of the curse, there were probably great changes outside the town.
Maybe human beings are no longer what they used to be, maybe the curse seems to be locked in the town, but in fact it has spread silently to the world outside the town.
