End of Mystery

"Because it's safe..."

Xiao Xiao's expression was very calm, and he noticed the scrutiny in Yang Jia's eyes, and explained: "You brought me here and found this... this mouse, which shows that you have a deep understanding of it, and that it is here. When it came out of the human skin, you reminded me in advance that all these changes were within your expectations, and there was no tension on your face at all, which means you didn't pay attention to it at all... ..."

"The key is……"

He said, squatting down, pulled out the dagger from the rat man's head, wiped it on the bedding beside him, got up and handed it to Yang Jia, saying:

"I saw just now that you took out the dagger very early and were ready to shoot at any time."

He let out a sigh of relief and said: "This thing is terrible, and it's the first time I saw it, so I'm not sure if there are other abnormalities in it, even if I have a gun in my hand, I don't think it's safe. "

"So, it's better to hide directly behind you, it's safer..."

"..."

Listening to his explanation, Yang Jia suddenly felt that it was very reasonable.

Although, at the beginning, I just wanted to observe whether he still had the guts to shoot after seeing the rat man's body...

But after listening to his analysis, I actually felt for a moment that it was the most reasonable for him to hide behind me.

The reckless one is actually me?

But after a short reaction, he suddenly got the key, took the dagger, and asked suspiciously: "You saw so many details in such a short time just now?"

"this……"

Xiao opened his mouth arrogantly, and said, "I react a little faster than others, and I have been playing the game well."

When answering this question, he deliberately said it lightly.

Since I fell into panic and headaches for no reason four years ago, I have been in a state of inability to concentrate, confused and noisy thinking.

In my own perception, time seems to stop from time to time, advancing extremely slowly, every minute and every second is extremely tormented.

In that state, he couldn't speak or think normally. When he went out, he saw a car bumping into him, and he didn't know how to dodge it. There was only invisible and huge panic, drowning himself from time to time.

No problem was found when I went to the hospital, and even my parents didn't quite trust me, thinking that I was pretending to be sick.

Therefore, I can only suffer in the bedroom, trying to fight against this feeling, and let myself adapt to this state of panic little by little through games or reading, and concentrate in this state.

For four full years, I seem to have achieved some success.

At least now I can think effectively in a panic state, but the time slowing down and sharpness during the panic attack are still there.

As a result, my reaction seems to be a little bit faster than normal people...

In the game, it is obvious that under the same mechanism, my speed will not be faster than others, but my reaction and thinking time are always longer than others.

And this is why I like to use games more and more to exercise my concentration.

Of course, it was only when I started to go out that I realized that even in life, I can do the same.

Although the limitation of his physical fitness prevented him from making some too complicated movements, it was still possible to judge how to make the most correct choice in a chaotic situation.

He didn't elaborate, mainly because he thought it was nothing.

Anyone can do it with a little exercise, even better than yourself?

Do you want to tell Yang Jia that you have had a mental illness?

The doctor didn't check it out, and didn't give me the certificate of mental illness. I didn't have the confidence to say that I was a patient.

Yang Jia intuitively found that Xiao Xiao seemed to answer this question a little vaguely, but it could be sensed that he didn't really want to talk in detail, so he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, just thinking about it secretly.

From that class reunion to now, the performance of this old classmate always makes people feel that he has a different temperament from others...

"How can there be such a weird thing in this city?"

At this time, Xiao Xiao had already squatted down, looking at the rat man who was completely dead, observing bit by bit, as if he wanted to put his face on it.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was also bearing the nausea and visual impact of the distorted body in his heart.

However, he looked at it very seriously.

Yang Jia was watching, suddenly worried that he would lick it.

After pondering for a while, she sighed softly and said, "I think you should get used to it as soon as possible!"

"There are not only rat people in this city, but also other deformed and twisted monsters."

"These things will breed in the dark corners of the city, and often have the characteristics of distortion, horror, and rapid reproduction."

"Once it is not discovered in time, it will cause great harm to the city."

"And our mission is to get rid of these things to ensure that the city operates in a normal order and logic, away from the fate of panic and collapse."

"..."

"mission?"

Xiao Xiao was observing the extremely unreal rat man in front of him, when he suddenly heard the word "mission", he felt extremely strange in his heart.

"Yes, mission."

But Yang Jia's expression was very serious, and she said softly: "Only by accepting this mission, you will get permission from 'him' to live in this city."

Xiao Xiao subconsciously looked around, feeling nervous again.

"Who is he?"

"where is he?"

"..."

Yang Jia said softly: "Don't worry, you will see 'him' soon."

Xiao Xiao was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look around, but only saw countless trembling eyes inside the subway station.

Now, the last subway has left long ago. There are not many people in this subway station, but there are still some homeless people like homeless people and drunks, etc. They shot here, and the movement is not small. Many people have already woken up. They just looked at them tremblingly. For the people at the bottom of these cities, even the ability to terror seemed to have been lost, there was no shouting, and no one called the police.

They all just tried their best to shrink their bodies, or covered their heads with quilts.

No matter whether Yang Jia and Xiao Xiao came here to deal with some monsters or to kill people, they just begged not to implicate themselves.

"Don't these things need to be dealt with?"

He felt extremely surprised in his heart, looked at the broken and shriveled body of the homeless man in the corner, and then glanced at the corpse of the rat man who was still staring at the two red eyes.

Passengers will be frightened when they enter the station the next day, right?

Yang Jia didn't expect Xiao Xiao to ask this question, so he suddenly laughed and said, "He will solve it..."

"Look, here comes 'he'."

"?"

Xiao Xiao didn't know why she said that, but he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look.

There was nothing behind him, only the shriveled human body and the corpse of the ratman, creating a bloody and grotesque picture.

However, the incandescent light suddenly trembled a few times, and it seemed that something had been faintly changed in this space.

Xiao Xiao thought his eyes were blurred, so he rubbed it vigorously, and saw that the wall in front of him was slowly moving.

He suddenly felt his throat dry and his scalp numb.

He saw that the ground and walls, which were obviously covered with tiles, became soft and wriggled, revealing their bright red essence.

Then, the bloated and indescribable flesh and blood tissue with difficulty seeped out from the ground and the wall, bit by bit, submerging the ground in front of him.

The shell of the tramp, the corpse of the Ratman, and even the flesh and blood that were torn apart by the bullets, were all wrapped in these flesh and blood.

Flesh and flesh squirmed, and from time to time, a grotesque face slowly slid past under the flesh membrane. These flesh and blood seemed to be chewing something.

After a long time, the flesh and blood receded, and all the monsters and human shells on the ground disappeared completely.

Even the bullet marks that had just appeared on the ground due to the bullet shooting had recovered as before.

This nightmarish scene made Xiao Xiao stand still and did not respond for a long time.

"Our city is alive"

The smile on Yang Jia's face showed a faint sense of alienation and helplessness: "He has his own will, even a body, and his body is this city."

"So, you need his permission to continue living here."

"And now, he has started to pay attention to you..."

"..."

At this moment, the expression on Xiao Xiao's face was completely frozen, and was instantly pulled to the bottom of the nightmare by some powerful force.

Looking out slightly, he saw the gray walls in the subway station, and saw that everything around him seemed to be melting, including the rusty subway tracks and the colorful graffiti on the walls.

His head was slightly dizzy, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the subway station, seeing this city full of neon lights and vehicles.

Seeing one building after another, they suddenly turned into bloated flesh-and-blood monsters.

I saw huge tentacles intertwined to form the roads and sky rails of the city.

I saw numb bodies like walking dead, standing quietly on the street, like robots on standby.

The whole city is a wriggling living body. Everything I see is just its organs and blood vessels. They are wriggling and revolving, forming this indescribably huge living body...

I can even feel that the gaze cast by this living body directly hits the deepest part of the spiritual world...

...

The indescribable impact kept Xiao Xiao's mind blank for a long time.

It turned out that this was what Yang Jia wanted to bring her to see, and it turned out that this was the "he" she wanted to bring her to see.

Not long ago, I wondered if the monsters around me were fake. Just now, I was trying to find evidence from the rat man that it might be my hallucination, or some kind of exquisite false model.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized how naive he was.

Even the city where I live is a huge, bloated monster...

I still have doubts...
