Andre stared at Jiang Yao.His dark blue eyes are like the dark sea before a storm.

"Investigate." Andre repeated Jiang Yao's words, as if he heard some big joke.With a sneer, "Your country's executor rank assessment is really confusing. They are all A-level, and they are still so naive in doing things."

Jiang Yao: "..."

"Forget it, you can do whatever you want." Andre shrugged, with an expression that was too lazy to explain, and signaled them to do whatever they wanted.

I walked aside to investigate other buildings.

Jiang Yao commented on his back until he disappeared into the depths of the building.

Ivan also looked away, and helped the little girl stand up: "How is it, is there any injury?"

The girl was only three or four years old, and she was still in kindergarten.The immature face was covered with smeared blood, and the eyes were bright and clear, but it was full of horror at this time.

The girl was wearing a white dress, and the skirt was also filthy, sticking to her body wet, and the back of her buttocks was still stained with seaweed mud.

Looking at the dress, it seems that she went out to play with her family on the weekend, but she doesn't know where her family is now.

"I...I don't know..." The girl panicked and replied timidly.

She is a native of Haishen County, with a little accent in her immature words.

Through the translator, Ivan continued to communicate with her.

"Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Ivan said with a pleasant expression, like a gentle uncle who picked up a stray kitten.

The girl just shook her head.Tears filled the big eyes.

A child of three or four years old probably doesn't know what happened.

Jiang Yao stood beside Ivan quietly.His eyes moved and fell on the little girl's hands tightly curled up in front of her.

"Talent Sequence 234 Focus".

Like a movie camera, Jiang Yao's eyes focused on the little girl's left wrist.

On the fleshy little hands, there is a string of hand-woven lavender bracelets.

The style of the bracelet is very special. Wearing it on the little girl's hand, it looks innocent and cute.

Jiang Yao blinked slowly.

"Focus" can only direct his attention to key items, but it cannot directly tell him what the clue is.

So he didn't understand what the bracelet meant.

Ivan checked it roughly.Her san value is in the safe range, and the pollution level is only over 1,000, which is even lower than the pollution level of the surrounding environment.

The little girl showed no signs of mutation, no matter how she looked at it, she was an ordinary human child.

However, if you continue to stay here, you will mutate sooner or later.

"What's your name?" Ivan asked.

"Yuko..." the little girl replied timidly, "Shiratori... Yuko."

"Okay, little friend Yuko." Ivan took out a round tube from his body and poured out a pill, "This is an anti-inflammatory medicine, it will make you feel better."

Ivan coaxed Shiratori Yuko, trying to get her to take the medicine.

Jiang Yao stood behind Ivan without saying a word.

That's a pollutant antagonist.Eating it can delay the impact of environmental pollution on the little girl's body.

However, Shiratori Yuko kept shaking her head in horror, apologized over and over again, and explained in a crying voice that she didn't want to eat, and she couldn't eat what a stranger gave her.

The family is well educated.

Ivan sighed, and turned to discuss with Jiang Yao, or send her back to the cordon first, and give her to Fujima to take care of.

Otherwise, you can't concentrate on fighting with a child.

"No rush. Ask about the situation first."

The person in my heart whispered instructions.

Jiang Yao did not immediately repeat the words of the person in his heart, but turned his head slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What... are you wearing?"

Jiang Yao raised his hand and pointed to the little girl's neck.

Shiratori Yuko was stunned.

Ivan was also taken aback for a moment, and looked towards the little girl's neck.Sure enough, there was an object hanging from the little girl's neck with a red silk thread.The pendant is hidden in the placket, and through the lace collar of the white dress, there is a faint hint of black.

Ivan didn't have such strong perception as Jiang Yao, so he didn't know that in Jiang Yao's eyes, the black object was absorbing the surrounding pollutants.

very strange.

Jiang Yao had never seen anything like it - unlike the purification of pollutants by antagonists.

Around Shiratori Yuko, the black pollutant particles swirled silently as if being sucked into a vortex.

The thing in Shiratori Yuko's neck was like a black hole, absorbing everything around it with a muffled sound.

Could this be the reason why she still maintains her sanity in a heavily polluted waterless city?

"amulet?"

The people in my heart hesitated.

Jiang Yao: "..."

uncertain.Look again.

Although Ivan couldn't perceive the pollutant vortex, he became alert after being reminded by Jiang Yao. He had a gentle expression and asked the little girl, "Can you show me?"

Shiratori Yuko nodded ignorantly, hooked the rope with her index finger, and lifted the pendant.

...a black ball.

A round and smooth black ball made of unknown material.

"What's this?"

Ivan took the pendant, and measured the exact value on the mobile terminal at close range:

4678.

It's even higher than Yuko's own pollution.

Ivan frowned and asked her, "Where did this come from?"

Yuko: "My mother gave it to me."

Ivan: "Where did your mother get this thing? Did you buy it? Or who gave it to her?"

Yuko suddenly reached out and pointed at the square: "Everyone has it. Mom said, this is faith, and this is our sea god. Only by believing in the sea god can you gain eternal life."

Ivan and Jiang Yao turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of Shiratori Yuko's finger.

It is a fountain.

That one was destroyed in the tsunami and lost the statue, only the central fountain of the next pool.

They noticed this fountain when they surveyed the square earlier.Since this place is called "Poseidon County", it is only natural that there should be a statue of the so-called "Poseidon" in the huge fountain in the central square as the landmark of the city.

This is also stated in the information provided by the local administration.Before the development of tourism, the residents of Poseidon County relied on fishing for a living, and they had to pray devoutly before going fishing. Over time, the religion of Poseidon belief was established.

The Poseidon statue being washed away in the tsunami sounds pretty dramatic.

Now the little girl pointed to the black ball on the pendant and said that it was the Sea God, and things seemed to become more ironic.

"I remember your sea god... seems like an eel?" Ivan recalled the information he read on the terminal, reluctantly respecting the other party's belief, "Then what is this ball? Eel... fish eggs?"

The eel is black, and the fish eggs should be black too!

However, hanging a fish egg on the body is quite evil when you think about it...

"No." Yuko shook her head, "It's the Sea God."

Ivan wanted to continue asking, but Jiang Yao suddenly said, "Eternal life?"

Ivan also realized the problem, and asked puzzledly: "Information... the travel brochure says that your sea god blesses you to go to sea safely, why, now that you don't fish, why not bless you with eternal life?"

The little girl stopped talking.

Since was a little girl, couldn't ask anything here.Ivan and Jiang Yao studied the black ball pendant together.

It's hard to say what kind of texture it is.Ivan tapped it with his fingertips, and the black ball made a sound similar to plastic.But the round and soft luster of the black ball is close to that of gemstones.

What's even weirder is that this thing looks very old.

Its roundness and smoothness are not the result of modern craftsmanship.As if being rubbed in the palm of the hand, playing with it repeatedly.

"crystallization."

Jiang Yao said.

"Ah?" Ivan asked subconsciously, "What crystals, pollutant crystals?"

Do pollutants crystallize?Unheard of.

Jiang Yao shook his head.

Ivan asked again, but Jiang Yao still shook his head.

Ivan could only sigh in bewilderment.

crystallization.

It wasn't what the person in Jiang Yao's heart told him, it was his intuition.

So the person in his heart couldn't help him explain to Ivan.

Jiang Yao felt that this black ball was the crystallization of something, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Not to mention whether this is the crystallization of pollutants... What is the principle of this black ball?Why can absorb surrounding pollutants?

The black ball sucked away most of the pollutants from Shiratori Yuko's body, which allowed her to maintain her sanity in the heavily polluted waterless city.

Could this really be the amulet of "Sea God"?

For some reason, Jiang Yao lowered his head and hooked the sun stone around his neck with his fingertips.

The sun-burning lava-like gemstone quietly shines with light.

That seems to be some kind of belief, stuck in the heart, always remembered.Guiding him when he is confused is a kind of support for him when he is helpless.

"Brother." Shiratori Yuko called timidly, rubbed her eyes with her fleshy hands, and tried her best not to cry, "Can you take me to find my mother? I want my mother..."

Ivan and Jiang Yao looked at each other.

According to the local authority, there was a celebration in the town before the tsunami.

This is a religious festival called "Sea God Festival".Because the local residents have a very devout belief in the sea god, they did not regard the sacrifice as a gimmick to attract tourists.Tourists are not allowed to enter the town during the memorial service.

Unexpectedly, a tsunami occurred at this time.

Yuko was probably also brought to the square by her parents to participate in the festival.

Her mother is probably gone.

Either die, or become a mutant.

In short, she would no longer be the "mother" she was looking for.

"I don't think so..." Ivan said.

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud noise in the distance.

boom!

This familiar sonic boom.No need to ask, it must be Andre fighting again.

Ivan immediately shut up, turned his head together with Jiang Yao, and looked towards the source of the sound.

It is a building several hundred meters away from the central square.

From the looks of it, it seems to be the local town hall.

Andre didn't know what happened inside. There were bangs and bangs in the city hall, and things kept bursting out of the windows on the second floor.

...is a corpse.

Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes.

The thick black pollutants on the minced flesh and corpses can be seen clearly from hundreds of meters away.

"Go, go to support first."

Although Ivan had a grudge against Andre, it was not enough to refuse to save him.

He stretched out his hand to hold Shiratori Yuko, glanced at the little girl's feet, and suddenly found that the little girl only had a shoe on one foot.

The left foot is bare, and the sandal is missing.

The white and tender left foot stepped on the ground, and the toes were filled with mud.

Poor.

The corner of Ivan's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything, just bent over, turned his back and squatted down in front of Shiratori Yuko.

"Come on." Ivan said gently, "I'll carry you."

The little girl didn't move, she looked at Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao: "..."

Can't understand what she's looking at.

Shiratori Yuko looked hesitantly at Jiang Yao, then at Ivan, and found that Jiang Yao had no intention of encouraging her to comfort her.

"Hurry up, my brother's companions are fighting ahead, and my brothers are going to help." Ivan urged gently.

The little girl wringed her hands at a loss. Hearing this, she finally made up her mind. She whispered a word of thanks to her brother, and carefully climbed onto Ivan's back.

Yuko is very light.After all, he was only three years old, a little older child.

Ivan himself is tall and burly, with thick shoulders and a typical Saudi body shape.The little girl was lying on his back, like riding a big docile bear.

Ivan supported the little girl's legs with his arms, and lifted her up: "Okay, let's go!"

Jiang Yao followed quietly, reaching out to support him.

The black pollutants were transferred from Shiratori Yuko's body to Jiang Yao's body where Ivan could not see.

——Ever since he learned that Andre also has super-perception of pollutants, Jiang Yao was reminded by the people in his heart not to absorb the pollutants around him casually.

The environmental pollutants in the waterless city are above 3000. For Jiang Yao, this place is like a cafeteria full of fragrance, where there is food.

But he couldn't eat a bite, because Andre would know.

Jiang Yao felt very hungry because of this.Fortunately, separated from Andre for a short time in the middle, and ate a little bit so that would not be discovered.

Even if the pollution level on Shiratori Yuko's body plummeted, it could be explained by the effect of the antagonist.

Ivan walked quickly with the little girl on his back.It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the city hall.

The battle upstairs seemed to be over. There was an indescribable strange smell in the air, and the smell was thick. Ivan had no sense of pollutants, so he could imagine how fierce the battle took place upstairs.

However, although Andre acted violently, his combat effectiveness was not to mention.

After all, he was an S-level executor. If he could only be ruthless verbally but had no hard power, he would have died in the hands of those high-risk S-level mutants long ago.

At this moment, in the empty city hall, the only sound was the footsteps of two people.

All kinds of documents, counters, rickety.Water was still dripping from the ceiling of the lobby on the first floor, and directly in front of it was a wide wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

Ivan quickly went upstairs with the little girl on his back.Jiang Yao followed behind.

"Andre probably won't agree to take her on the road."

The person in my heart analyzed, "If it doesn't work, find a safe place and put her down first... Wait, what is she doing?"

Jiang Yao looked up.

Ivan has a strong physique, so carrying a little girl on his back is naturally not a problem.I saw him walking vigorously and steadily up the steps step by step.

And the little girl was lying on Ivan's back.The hem of the white dress swayed as Ivan walked.

The crystal saliva hanging from the corner of the little girl's mouth also flickered and flickered.

"..."

The little girl's eyes gradually widened, staring at Ivan's muscular back of the neck, and gulped down her saliva.

There was almost no psychological struggle, the little girl suddenly widened her eyes, opened her mouth and bit down on Ivan's defenseless neck!

"!" Jiang Yao shot like lightning, grabbed the little girl by the collar before she bit Ivan, and lifted her from Ivan's back!

"Why..." Ivan felt his back lighten. He didn't know what happened, but turned his head instinctively.

Jiang Yao raised his arms high and lifted the little girl off the ground.The girl was completely different from the quiet and obedient appearance half a minute ago.

She had a ferocious face, her teeth and claws bared, her eyes turned black and bottomless, staring at Ivan's muscular back.Crystal clear saliva kept slipping from the corner of his mouth, like a captive beast that had been hungry for half a month.

"Gu... Gululu..." The little girl made a weird sound of bubbling in her throat, as if she was being pushed into the water and kept spitting out bubbles.

She struggled frantically in Jiang Yao's hands, kicking her arms and legs, and kept trying to pounce on Ivan.

But he was held tightly by Jiang Yao.

"..." Ivan turned around and met her dark eyes.Can't help but startled.

"She..." Jiang Yao was about to explain, but suddenly the alarm bells rang in his heart!

"careful!"

The person in his heart reminded him, Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and he retreated subconsciously!

At the same time, there was a loud explosion not far away!

boom!

The hot blood, the shattered pieces of meat, crackled on the transparent barrier!

The weight in Jiang Yao's hands suddenly became lighter.All that was left in his hand was a strand of white cloth with blood stains on it.

And that little girl had turned into flesh and blood, and exploded on the ground in a mess.

"..."

Jiang Yao lowered his head and looked at the messy body fragments on the ground.

A 3-year-old child looks very small when he is a whole person.

It was much bigger after it was broken.

Blood, minced meat, bone residue, internal organs... It was a mess, so rotten that it couldn't be pieced together, and it slid down the steps.

The carpet was saturated with juice and became lustrous and black.The blood was dripping, dripping down step by step.It gave off a hot, fishy smell.

Ivan was also completely stunned.

Just now the situation was urgent, the little girl exploded in Jiang Yao's hands, Jiang Yao only had time to deploy the barrier in front of him.

As a result, Ivan on the other side of the steps was splashed head and body by the little girl's broken body, his face was covered in blood.

There is even a small piece of intestine hanging from the shoulder.

Tender pink and steamy, it belongs to the intestines of young children.

"I warned you a long time ago."

Above the steps, stiff and indifferent words with an accent fell.

"Don't be so naive. This is an S-level project area, not a play house for the Holy Mother and hypocrites."

Jiang Yao raised his head, and after seeing the railing on the second floor, Andre slowly withdrew his hand.

Between the rough and powerful palms, there are still black traces of strength.

"Wipe off those dirty things." Andre was condescending, expressionless, "Come on, there are clues worth investigating here."
