This World Is More Complicated Than He Thought
“…”
Yu Hao’s expression turned grim.
This world was more complicated than he had imagined.
And Li Bin didn’t seem simple either…
From now on, they needed to be on high alert and not let their guard down.
Li Bin’s parents, as first-generation 【Professionals】, weren’t the strongest, but their strength was definitely not lacking,
and the person from 【Haijing City】 was equally capable.
Ignoring other complicating factors, the fact that these three people all perished in the 【Daytime Weird Events】 where Li Bin felt being watched proved that the 【Daytime Weird Events】 they experienced were incredibly dangerous.
Feeling unwell, Li Bin saw Master Hao’s expression become unprecedentedly serious, so he said in a comforting tone:
“Master Hao, don’t worry too much.”
“I don’t know if it’s because we’re on the train, but the feeling of being watched this time is much less intense than the previous two times.”
“Also, in my two previous encounters with 【Daytime Weird Events】, there were abnormalities in the sky.”
“During my parents’ encounter, the area was shrouded in dark clouds—the location where the 【Daytime Weird Event】 took place. Everything visible was like faded colors, turning grayish-white.”
“And during the 【Haijing City】 incident, the area shrouded in dark clouds, including the clouds themselves, turned red, along with the light.”
“…”
After hearing Li Bin’s so-called comfort, Yu Hao looked at the windows, which were like they were covered by a giant hand, and fell silent.
This world seemed to be getting more and more sinister…
Fortunately, what he saw inside was normal; neither faded nor red.
–
【Lafite】: Master Hao, Little Red has been controlled by a non-spiritual weird entity!
–
At this time, Lafite suddenly sent a mental message.
Simultaneously, Xiao Ai issued a warning.
–
【Warning, detecting the intrusion of spiritual weird entities into the train body!】
【Warning, detecting the intrusion of spiritual weird entities into the train body!】
–
Yu Hao quickly shifted his thoughts and focused on the situation at hand.
He used mind communication to tell everyone to withdraw their mental control over Little Red.
After the train members withdrew their mental strength, he had them infuse their mental strength into the train body to form a mental barrier.
At the same time, he began to control the train to speed up the process of eliminating the non-spiritual weird entities.
Little Red, filled with hostility, appeared, wielding an axe and heading towards the train.
Swish—!
The frog tongue shot out, launching indiscriminate attacks, completely frenzied!
Due to the double protection of the evil-repelling talismans covering the train body and the mental barrier created by the members, the spiritual weird entities, after being initially detected by Xiao Ai, did not reappear.
Only by possessing Little Red and attacking the train could they make their presence known.
…
After an unknown amount of time.
The weird entities on the first floor had been slaughtered.
The 【Starfire Train】 quickly devoured their flesh and then broke through the ceiling, climbing to the second floor.
Yu Hao saw numerous weird entities hanging from the ceiling on the second floor, and Little Red’s body, torn into pieces by their long tongues, in the train room, his brow furrowed.
He immediately controlled the frog tongue to shoot out.
The weird entities it targeted saw the frog tongue coming, and they also extended their own long tongues to counterattack.
Although the number of long tongues from the hanging weird entities was large, under the absolute size and strength of the frog tongue, these tongues were like powerless threads, easily broken by the frog tongue’s forceful swing.
It didn’t take long to clean up and devour the second floor weird entities.
Following this, the 【Starfire Train】’s drill horn pierced through the ceiling.
The insect feet grabbed the wall, and the train climbed to the third floor.
……
Outside the restaurant building.
At the edge of the area not shrouded in dark clouds.
A large number of police cars had arrived at the scene.
Officer Zhang had his men use caution tape to cordon off the area where the 【Daytime Weird Event】 occurred.
And they placed warning signs and warning lights outside the cordon.
Officer Zhang smoked a cigarette with a slightly worried expression, his face somewhat complicated.
A police officer beside him rubbed his face in frustration, complaining with a slightly broken mentality:
“What the hell is going on?”
“Two 【Daytime Weird Events】 in one month, is this even believable?!”
Officer Zhang exhaled smoke and sighed softly.
“Unfortunately, before this 【Daytime Weird Event】 ends, we can’t go in, and we can’t see what’s inside. We can only wait outside…”
“Since the day that monster appeared, things have been going completely haywire…”
The police officer shook his head, looked at Officer Zhang, and said in an uncertain tone:
“This 【Daytime Weird Event】, wouldn’t it be related to that college student Li Bin from 【Xiqing University】 again?”
“It shouldn’t be.”
“When we came here, we received a call from the restaurant boss.”
“He said the restaurant was attacked by zombie robbers.”
“Red-skinned, tall, and muscular.”
“…”
The police officer’s face was tense.
“Officer Zhang, how credible do you think the boss’s report is?”
Officer Zhang held the cigarette in his mouth, hesitating to light it.
He was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile:
“In the past, there’s no way I would have believed it.”
“Zombie robbers, what a joke!”
“You gotta know the context for a joke?!”
“We only have weird entities here, where are these zombies coming from? And red-skinned zombies? Are you kidding me?”
“…”
Seeing Officer Zhang getting more and more agitated, the police officer quickly calmed him down:
“Officer Zhang, don’t get excited. I know we’re dealing with a mess, and these things have even shaken the worldview we built after the arrival of weird entities, but we still have to face it, we can’t escape, right?”
“Phew…”
Officer Zhang took a long breath, put the cigarette back in his mouth, and took a deep drag.
After the smoke filled his lungs and was exhaled from his nasal cavity, his mood calmed down considerably.
“Sorry, Xiao Li, I lost my composure just now.”
“Actually, these words should have been used by me to comfort you and other officers whose mentalities have been affected by these things.”
“Now, it’s a newcomer like you comforting a veteran officer like me. I’m quite ashamed.”
“Don’t say that, Officer Zhang. Now that strange things are happening one after another, everyone’s nerves are on edge, and no one is in a good state.”
“Sometimes, it’s inevitable to lose control of your emotions.”
“Mmm.” Officer Zhang nodded with a smile and returned to the main topic.
“About the restaurant boss’s statement, is it true?”
“I believe it’s eight out of ten true.”
“Although I don’t have any concrete evidence, I know that after discovering the monster on the sports field, we can no longer use our previous logic to think about problems.”
“The more unbelievable something sounds now, the more likely it is to be true.”
…
Under the dark clouds.
The restaurant building shook violently.
The sound of the drill horn piercing the walls and ground echoed through the entire building.
Hiss—Bang!
With a loud bang.
The roof of the restaurant building was pierced.
A head, with a rotating large horn, resembling a Cthulhu monster’s head, emerged from it.
The huge single eye stared fixedly at the dark clouds in the sky, as if trying to see through its essence.
