Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 339
  "Good evening, dear viewers, this is the Rising Star News Channel, and we will broadcast an important news next."

On the TV, a female anchor with exquisite make-up was reading the news seriously. In front of the TV was a small shop that looked shabby and dirty. There were several wooden tables inside, and several customers were sitting on the tables eating dark soup. food.

"This morning our city's guard put out a major fire on Ernie Road in Xiacheng District. According to on-site investigation, the fire may have been caused by humans. The on-site monitoring lost the picture for unknown reasons. We hope that people with relevant information can go to the police in time. Those who provide information and help to the bureau will be rewarded with 500 points."

Listening to this news, two guests, one large and one small, sitting at one of the tables, started to move. The thin one was a boy. He raised his head in panic and glanced at the man opposite who was shrouded in a black robe.

The man raised his finger to his mouth and glanced at the boy indifferently: "Shh——"

The ragged men at the tables next to them saw their noise and couldn't help but their eyes flickered. The man at the table in front of him looked strange in his clothes, but definitely not clothes that people in the slums could afford. These homeless migrant workers had been jealous for a long time. , in this city, only those who dare to act and rob can survive to the end.

So they gave each other a few looks, stood up and surrounded them. The boss sitting behind the front desk ignored this and just held the pistol under the table tightly, pushed up his glasses and continued to look at his hands. newspaper.

"Hey!"

A man with yellow teeth and dark skin asked with a threatening look on his face: "Do you have anything to do with the fire in this news?!"

A man next to him sneered: "Catch them and exchange them for points, especially this little one, he must know something."

The only woman in this group was a burly middle-aged woman with triangular eyes, a bull nose, and a fierce look. She said viciously: "When you are sent to the police station, you will have to peel off your skin even if you die. If you know the truth, you will be killed." Hand over all the valuables you have and we will let you go."

Yoda raised his head in panic and glanced at the people around him. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the man in front of him looking leisurely and content, he kept his mouth shut.

The man in black robe chuckled, and the people around him were about to get angry when they heard the man snap his fingers.

The air froze instantly.

It was a kind of fear, an inexplicable and invisible thing appeared in the air, a faint blue light flashed, like water, but a thicker feeling enveloped them, and then the whole body became stiff and unable to move.

The next moment, they discovered to their horror that their hands were uncontrollably reaching into their throats. They watched in pain as their hands were inserted straight into the throat, and then they suffocated to death.

Imric nodded with satisfaction. Facing these Muggles who have no magic resistance, psychic powers are a very convenient method. Whether it is to control their minds or control their bodies with telekinesis, in modern society , this invisible supernatural power is more convenient than magic.

Then, he looked at the boss who was shaking violently, put his finger in front of his mouth, and smiled: "Shh——"

Just when the mage was about to release [Limb Control] again to make the boss kill himself, the other party struggled and opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't kill me! Are you a stranger? Please, don't kill me, I'm very useful."

Imric raised his eyebrows and asked playfully: "Oh? Have you seen a stranger?"    The boss seemed to have grasped hope, and kept nodding his head and said: "Yes! Yes! I have seen it! I am The one who wandered from the wasteland to the city of Sitaxus was in my hometown, a city ruled by aliens - Pompeii. Everyone knows that the ruler above us is an alien like you."

When the boy on the side heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth to retort: ​​"You're lying! No one can leave the city and cross the wasteland alive!"

The boss smiled bitterly and explained: "But that's the fact. I did walk through the wasteland."

Imrik couldn't help but become interested. In the feedback given to him by the psychic detection, the man in front of him did not lie. At least, in his memory, he really traveled through the wasteland.

But according to the information he knew, this so-called [Wasteland] was not a simple thing.

According to historical records, nearly a hundred years ago, an extremely terrible disaster broke out in the Garden of Eden society. This disaster destroyed [-]% of the world's population.

90 years ago, the Garden of Eden was on a track of rapid technological development and extremely high people's happiness. However, the good times did not last long. In the year 3329 of the Old Lunar Calendar, an extremely terrible biochemical disaster broke out.

A mysterious and terrifying virus spread quietly around the world. At first, the infected people just felt depressed. Due to the extremely high number of infected people, the number of people with depression skyrocketed. At that time, psychiatrists became the most sought-after profession, and a large number of patients were waiting in line. According to psychiatrists, although there were occasionally serious patients who committed suicide, because there were many specific drugs for depression at that time, they were not taken seriously.

But then, people discovered something was wrong. Those whose depression improved soon became extremely manic, and often had strong violent tendencies from time to time. Due to the large number of infected people, the number of hurtful incidents in the entire Garden of Eden quickly increased.

During that period, a large number of extremely terrifying serial killers emerged. They kidnapped and killed crazily, trying to soothe the mania in their hearts with this behavior. Such existences even appeared in the guards who captured criminals.

The world soon fell into chaos. At that time, there was already a unified unified government in the Garden of Eden. The government leaders immediately discovered the horror of this disaster and quickly initiated wartime preparation orders. However, it was already too late. Night.

Those infected completely lost control, and their bodies even mutated with their manic thoughts, turning into twisted and terrifying monsters. A large number of such monsters appeared all over the world. These monsters are extremely aggressive and powerful. It was so large and so fast that the entire world was thrown into chaos as the number of infected people even accounted for nearly one-third of the population.

On that day, the Garden of Eden was completely torn apart. As those monsters continued to devour human corpses, they rapidly evolved and became more terrifying. The remaining humans began to huddle together and established bases one by one, surrounding themselves in huge Behind high walls.

Since then, most of the world has become an abandoned zone, where countless monsters roam and the land that has been eaten by monsters has no hair left. The surviving people call it a wasteland.

From that day on, a large city like Sitax City completely became a place of protection, or in other words, a prison, for everyone.

And that mysterious virus is called - [Eva].
