Chapter 1746 Painkillers

"Please sit down and wait."

The cafe clerk said to He Zhou.

He Zhou nodded and sat in one of the booths, waiting for Lao Mai to arrive.

Not long after, Lao Mai came and sat down opposite He Zhou.

"I've finished watching the fourth disc."

He Zhou said directly.

"Oh? Did you find the answer you wanted?" Lao Mai asked enthusiastically.

"No."

He Zhou shook his head.

"What? No?"

Lao Mai couldn't help but frown.

Then this Hezhou is really special. I haven't found the answer after reading four CDs. This is not common.

"What? Is this weird?"

He Zhou asked rhetorically.

He could tell from Lao Mai's reaction that his situation must be rare.

Lao Mai raised his eyebrows and replied: "It's indeed a bit special."

"Return the CD to you and tell me the truth."

He Zhou threw the box containing the CD towards Lao Mai.

Lao Mai looked at the disc box and asked, "First tell me the images you see on this disc."

Hearing this, He Zhou couldn't help but wonder: "You sold me a CD, but you didn't even know what was in it?"

There was huge information hidden in this, and He Zhou had to get an answer from the other party.

"Of course." Lao Mai smiled and said, "Don't you already know that each disc can only be played once, so how can I watch it in advance?"

"Wait, where did you get this CD?"

He Zhou asked.

He sensed something was wrong.

"This is a secret, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Lao Mai shook his head slightly.

He Zhou couldn't give an answer to this question.

He Zhou thought for a while and asked: "Can't you reveal anything?"

"Man, you'd better answer my question first." Lao Mai resumed the topic and said, "What exactly did you see in this disc?"

When He Zhou heard this, he stared into Lao Mai's eyes and asked after a moment: "Did you watch the news last night? About the death in the stadium."

"I know, keep talking." Lao Mai nodded.

He Zhou said: "Those people were all resurrected, and the scattered corpses were put back together again. This is what I saw on this CD."

"All people are resurrected?"

Lao Mai touched his chin thoughtfully, seeming to recall the breaking news just now.

That's what was reported in the breaking news.

"Can you tell me the truth now?" He Zhou asked again.

Hearing this, Lao Mai looked at He Zhou deeply and said, "Maybe you should go somewhere with me."

"Where to go?"

He Zhou was instantly alert.

He didn't dare to follow anyone casually. After all, this group of people had mysterious origins and were obviously not easy to mess with.

"Is there anything you can't say here?"

He Zhou asked.

Lao Mai shook his head and replied: "No, you have to go and see it in person to know."

He Zhou fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He was determined not to go with Lao Mai, but he also wanted to know the truth and figure out what happened to him.

So it was very difficult for him.

"Man, I know you're scared, but if you really want to solve the problem, you have to come with me and see for yourself."

Lao Mai sounded like there was no room for negotiation.

"No, I'm not going, I won't go with you."

He Zhou thought for a while and shook his head firmly.

"Okay then." Lao Mai said as he stood up, "Then we have nothing to talk about for the time being. If you regret it, you can come here to see me again."

After saying that, Lao Mai left directly.

He Zhou quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, tell me the truth."

However, Lao Mai ignored He Zhou and walked straight out of the cafe and disappeared into the street outside.

He Zhou had no choice but to turn his head and look down at the table.

He is worried about Lao Mai, so he will definitely not follow Lao Mai, but he is also worried that if the matter remains unresolved, he will get into bigger trouble.

but……

He Zhou was in a state of war between heaven and man, unable to make a decision.

In the end, he could only get up, leave the booth, and walk out of the cafe.

At this time, the outside became more lively, and it seemed that law enforcement officers across the city were in action.

He Zhou didn't know what happened.

But he felt that the matter should be related to the resurrection of the dead. For example, the resurrection of the dead involved something extraordinary.

All the way home.

After arriving at his house, He Zhou's tired heart could finally relax.

At this time, he was like a dull wooden man, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to do.

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment before turning on the TV and watching the news.

The news was showing what was going on in the city, meaning law enforcement officials were calling for martial law in the city, just like what he saw on the streets.

He Zhou watched it for a while and found it boring, so he turned off the TV.

Then, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I didn't sleep all night last night. I took a Qingshen pill in the morning before I could go to work normally. After I was fired, I went to Laomai twice in the night.

At this time, He Zhou really had no strength at all and just wanted to sleep.

He Zhou had a strange dream.

In the dream, he found that he was dead, just as miserable as those on the stadium.

And He Zhou also clearly felt the extreme pain, the kind of extreme pain where the whole person was torn from the body.

This extreme pain stimulated He Zhou to wake up suddenly and sit up from the bed.

"Whirring whirring……"

He Zhou gasped for air, wishing he could suck all the air in the room into his lungs.

"Not dead, I'm not dead!"

Everything was intact, the hands and feet were intact, and the body was intact.

He Zhou's emotions gradually calmed down and he raised his wrist to look at the time.

It's three o'clock in the morning, it's still dark, and he probably slept for less than four hours.

Fortunately, I have lost my job and don't have to get up early to go to work, so it doesn't matter if I sleep less. I have plenty of time to catch up on sleep during the day.

At this time, He Zhou was completely sleepless and simply got up.

He didn't take off his clothes when he collapsed, but he didn't need to wear them now.

Rubbing his swollen temples, He Zhou's brain was still a little numb.

This is a side effect of purifying the spirit.

After taking Qingshenshen, you must get enough sleep to make up for it.

Of course, there are now more effective drugs with basically no side effects, but He Zhou cannot afford them.

At this time, He Zhou was neither sleepy nor had the energy to think, so he simply found a chair and sat down, falling into some kind of unconscious state like a zombie.

Suddenly, a piercing siren sounded.

A police speed car almost passed by the window of his room.

The sound made He Zhou shudder involuntarily, and he began to slowly regain his consciousness.

"What happened outside?"

He Zhou was puzzled.

With this in mind, he simply got up and went to the window, peeled off the lily leaves and looked outside.

The sky is still dark, but the shining lights illuminate the streets like daytime, and the colorful neon lights add a special color to the night.

He Zhou looked outside for a while, and then looked at the street below.

The floor he lived on was so high that he couldn't see clearly the streets below, he could only see a rough outline. Vaguely, he saw two law enforcement officers walking past with a bipedal robot.

Beyond that there is nothing.

There were not many people active on the street at this point, only the occasional vehicle passing by.

At this moment, another piercing siren sounded from far to near.

He Zhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw several dazzling lights.

He quickly reached out to cover his eyes and stepped back.

Police speedsters roared past.

This time it was not one car, but three. He Zhou could see them clearly.

"There are so many police cars, is something happening in our area?"

He Zhou was full of doubts.

He found that he was a little confused about the world.

First, all kinds of strange things happened, and then the whole city was inexplicably put under martial law. What happened to all this?

He Zhou could not find the answer.

If you must know the truth, maybe you can only find him.

"No, I won't go to him!"

As soon as this thought appeared, He Zhou immediately shook his head to get the thought out of his head.

He will not go to Lao Mai, nor will he go with Lao Mai.

He felt that Lao Mai was not a good person, and the organization behind him had mysterious origins and was inconvenient to contact.

He Zhou sat back on the chair.

Drowsily, he fell asleep again and tilted his head to the side.

When he woke up again, it was already noon, and the dazzling sunlight outside hit his face through the blinds, leaving horizontal stripes on his face.

He Zhou protected his eyes with his right hand, trying to adapt to the fatigue of waking up.

After a while, he finally woke up completely.

"What happened last night?"

At this moment, He Zhou had completely recovered his consciousness and no longer had the feeling of being confused and unable to think.

So the first thing he did was recall what happened last night.

Although his memory was a little fuzzy, he remembered those sirens very clearly.

He was 100% sure that a police speedster flew past his room in the early hours of the morning.

As for what missions those police flying cars were going to perform, he didn't know.

But no matter what, it's definitely not a good thing.

Just imagine, is there anything that requires so many law enforcement officers in the early hours of the morning?
  At least He Zhou hasn't encountered anything like this in so many years.

"What are you doing? I have nothing to do today... why don't I find a job."

He Zhou let go of his worries and began to seriously think about his next plan.

His job had been lost, and he had to find a buddy who could keep him alive.

And this requires him to act quickly.

After all, his house is rented. If he doesn't hand over the house, he will have to sleep on the street.

Of course, even if he finds a job, He Zhou is ready to change this house.

With his current financial resources, he certainly cannot afford such a residence.

I need to move to a smaller, cheaper house.

He Zhou went to the bathroom to wash himself for a while, and then walked out of the house.

Take the elevator all the way to the first floor.

The streets were full of pedestrians at this time, but law enforcement officers were also everywhere.

Obviously, the city is still under martial law.

He Zhou passed the scanning inspection by the security drone and followed the crowd to the street.

After thinking for a while, He Zhou decided to walk around first and then see where there was work.

He has certain skills and can operate some large equipment, so it is best to find a corresponding job, so that he can adapt quickly and the salary will not be too low.

But He Zhou didn't hold out much hope.

It was difficult for him to find such a job because of the fierce competition.

It would be good if he could find a job that he could survive on.

He Zhou walked slowly on the street, thinking about his own thoughts.

At this time, a man suddenly followed him quickly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, my brother, why are you wandering around here alone?"

The man said to He Zhou.

As soon as He Zhou turned his head, he saw a smiling face.

"I said, you must be looking for a job, right?"

The man asked directly before He Zhou could speak.

He Zhou felt strange.

If you don't know the other party, how can the other party conclude that you are looking for a job?

Also, do you walk like you are looking for a job?

He Zhou thought about it carefully and felt that it shouldn't be.

Although he was thinking about his thoughts all the way, you shouldn't be able to guess what he was thinking just from his expression, right?
  "Who are you? I don't know you."

He Zhou asked.

"Oh, my brother, you are so forgetful. Didn't we just meet in the early morning?"

the man asked with a big smile on his face.

"Early morning?"

He Zhou was confused.

I was sleeping in the early hours of the morning, and then I had a nightmare and was woken up by the sound of police sirens.

If he remembered correctly that was it.

So how did you meet this old man?

It shouldn't be at all.

"If you think about it carefully, you should be able to remember it."

The man reminded him calmly.

He Zhou tried his best to recall.

As a result, he really remembered this memory.

I did meet this guy, but only in a dream.

In that nightmare, I was force-fed a pill by this old man, and then my body was torn apart from the inside by tentacles, and I died in a very painful way.

"It's you!"

He Zhou suddenly felt an unreasonable anger in his heart.

"My brother, it seems you have remembered."

The man smiled and patted He Zhou on the shoulder.

He Zhou quickly calmed down and asked, "How did you see me?"

He needs to listen to what the other person has to say first and then analyze it.

The man replied: "At two o'clock in the morning, you went out and complained that you had a stomachache. You asked me for a painkiller. Then you complained to me that you had lost your job. You talked a lot. I drank at that time. , I just listened to your nonsense for an hour..."

He Zhou frowned while listening.

Could it be that he was sleepwalking?
  This is not impossible, because the Qing Spirit does have such side effects.

However, the other party said that he took one of his painkillers...

"Wait, are you sure I took one of your painkillers?"

He Zhou asked warily.

"Of course, you'll feel better after eating."

The man smiled and nodded.

After hearing this, the more He Zhou thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He actually took a painkiller from the other party, and in that nightmare, he also took a pill.

So could the nightmare become reality?

Thinking of this, He Zhou couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine, and bursts of cold sweat broke out.

"Back to business, have you found a job? If not, I'm going to find a job too."

The man asked after talking for a while.

He Zhou didn't know how to answer for a while. He didn't know whether to stay away from this guy or get in touch with him and ask some more questions.
