Start Cthulhu with priest

After handing over the gene stabilizer to Lin Jin's mother and daughter, An Le left the apartment building again.

However, in order to avoid the gaze of those surveillance cameras, he simply sneaked directly in the shadows.

The slums are shrouded in the shadow of tall buildings not far away, even in the daytime, Anle can still walk freely.

The destination of his trip was a tall building that he had seen before.

Apart from money, what Anle needs most now is information.

Especially the information about leaving the city.

And this kind of question is obviously impossible to ask Montenegro Meiji face-to-face - if she knew that An Le wanted to leave, how would she invest in herself?

There is an internal Internet in the waste capital, and people can also use the Internet to search for the information they want to know.

Surprisingly, however, there is no introduction about the distribution of nearby geographical locations on the Internet, and the only search results are "no relevant content for the time being".

Moreover, the history of the city of Abandoned Capital has only been mentioned in a few strokes.

It's as if... there is a big hand, erasing all the traces of these information?

"The blockade of information..."

An Le was not surprised.

Leaving aside whether this knowledge is harmful to the human body, controlling public opinion is something that every power in power will do.

Regardless of whether the roots have long been rotted or buried deep in the dirty silt, on the surface, there will only be a magnificent and delicate bright flower.

It is just like the difference between the glamorous scenery that An Le saw while sitting on the speeding car, and the real slums.

And the reason why An Le focused on this seemingly ordinary high-rise building was because of the reminder of the [mysterious door mirror].

Downstairs of a tall building, in a corner where no one notices.

The shadow twisted for a while, and An Le stepped out of it.

With the cold temperament on his body, if anyone suddenly bumped into this scene, they might be scared out of their wits.

"Is it here?" An Le asked.

【Yes, my respected master. 】

In An Le's hand, a line of words appeared on the palm-sized mirror.

The man in the mirror wearing a windbreaker saluted among them, with a respectful and humble smile on his blurred face.

【I can smell... the smell of forbidden knowledge here! 】

[That is an asset that should belong to you. 】

[Now, allow me to help you get them back. 】

'You still can talk. '

An Le sighed in his heart, because of his face, at most, "this thing is destined for me", in the mouth of the mirror, it directly became "go get it back."

But An Le didn't dislike it too much.

"The enchantment here, can you handle it?"

【certainly. 】

The original small door mirror became the size of a door in the blink of an eye, and the phantom of the person in the mirror stretched out its hand in the water-like mirror surface.

[Please come with me. 】

An Le stepped into it, trembling with the water waves.

In the next second, he came to a spacious room with simple decoration.

Rows of bookshelves are displayed here, and the bookshelves are made of a special wood that exudes a unique woody fragrance.

The layout of the whole study is also very elegant, full of retro elegance.

If you really want to describe it, the word "upper" is perfect.

An Le naturally doesn't know how to appreciate this kind of beauty, but the turbulent enthusiasm in his mind and the longing in his heart indicate that——

He has come to the right place!

"Thank you, Man in the Mirror."

An Le smiled and said to the door mirror.

[It is my honor to serve you. 】

After this line of text appeared, the [Mysterious Door Mirror] returned to its original size, and returned to An Le's palm obediently.

During these two months, An Le gradually figured out the true usage of this extraordinary relic with spiritual intelligence.

Its biggest function is not to store books and act as a librarian.

But... breaking the boundary!

To put it simply, it is to ignore the existence of enchantments, barriers and other things, and carry out space teleportation over a certain distance.

In the terms of Xianxia novels, it is things like "Boundary Breaking Shuttle", "Shenxing Boat", and "Climbing the Ladder to Heaven".

Theoretically speaking, An Le could also use the door mirror to return to the real world when he was in the Silent Cemetery.

It's just that it was in a weak state at that time and couldn't do this kind of thing.

But two months have passed, and with the help of An Le, 【Mysterious Door Mirror】is no longer what it used to be.

This kind of weak enchantment that guards against ordinary transcendents has long been ignored by it.

Only one person and one mirror can easily invade it.

An Le's senses instantly judged that there was no one else in the study, nor was there any monitoring equipment.

A person who can own such a large study room in Waste City must be either rich or expensive, and he will definitely not be willing to install surveillance cameras in his private room.

In case the interest comes, and the capable female secretary beside you...

However, this happened to facilitate An Le's actions.

An Le quickly walks through the bookshelves, looking for books that can make his mind warm.

By this time, Anle's reading of taboo knowledge, plus the amount of knowledge continuously provided by the company's employees every day, had reached a very remarkable level.

At least within the reach of ordinary people, there is less and less taboo knowledge that can arouse his desire.

——This has led to the gradual reduction of the filthy intelligence obtained from the employees, so that he has to continue to recruit new employees. After all, the taboo knowledge that employees in different regions have access to is different.

Closer to home.

Despite Anle's current reading volume, in this study room, he can still feel the scorching heat from many of the books.

Anle will not refuse anyone who comes, and will accept all orders.

All the books that can arouse his interest are stored in the unique space in [Mysterious Door Mirror].

After all, it's all here.

And An Le was sure that his theft would definitely be noticed, it was only a matter of time.

That being the case, it is better to do a little more absolutely.

In order to speed up, and because he didn't have time to choose, An Le simply moved the entire bookshelf, together with the books on it, into the [mysterious door mirror].

After about four or five minutes.

The study room, which had a rich collection of books, became empty, presenting a slightly depressed atmosphere.

An Le didn't miss it at all, and quickly left the crime scene with the help of the man in the mirror.

*****

Not long after An Le left.

There was a sound of footsteps and conversation at the door of the study.

"Miss Meiji, this is a small gift I prepared for you, please accept it."

The young man in a suit smiled and saluted. He seemed to have a good manner, which was very different from the people in the slums.

It's just that when he lowered his head, his eyes were full of fiery desire when he looked at Michelle Heishan.

'If I could keep this beauty for myself...'

'What a beauty it must be. '

Miki Montenegro has long been used to the look in the man's eyes, and she can see through his latent thoughts at a glance.

But because the other party is the younger brother of the No. 2 person in the energy company "RG", Miki Montenegro still has to show a friendly smile.

——like the smile she had shown countless times in the past.

"What gift is it?"

"I am looking forward."

Miki Montenegro is well aware of her own charm, and also knows how to make good use of this advantage.

Appropriately expressing one's own sense of expectation can make men as excited as if they have been pumped.

‘This trick is not going to work for everyone. '

She couldn't help but think of her communication with the doctor.

"This is the precious wealth I have collected for more than five years. You have no idea how much energy I have spent on them."

As expected by Miji Montenegro, the man's face flushed slightly, his tone of voice raised slightly, and he opened the door of the study while talking.

"Just to give it as a gift..."

"Eh?"

The young man's voice stopped abruptly, because the study in front of him turned into a completely unfamiliar appearance to him.

Rows of bookshelves were missing, and the floor was extremely empty.

The light from the glass windows into the study was extremely dazzling.

It was empty and deserted.

Like his mood at the moment.

"Where is my book!?"

*****

After returning to the apartment.

‘It’s a rewarding experience! '

An Le came to the inner space of [Mysterious Door Mirror] contentedly, picked a book that made his mind the hottest, and flipped through it in his room.

Compared to the ancient books that once interested An Le.

The cover of this book is very new, as if it has been rebound, not like an old book sitting on the shelf, but like a gift.

Of course, An Le didn't care about this little thing, but whispered its title——

"The Abandoned City Origin Investigation Manual"

An Le turned to the first page of the book, and saw a line of words that made the corner of his mouth twitch.

【Author: Xin Qingyi】

'why is it you again? '

'How many books have you written? '

I can't hold back anymore.jpg

Thinking of Xin Qingyi, An Le felt a little angry.

Don't forget, the previous silent cemetery and the weird [Infinite and Unfixed Shadow] are all big pits that Xin Qingyi buried in "Journey to the Wasteland".

An Le also stepped on it!

If it wasn't for him, An Le wouldn't have come to this city.

I didn't expect to read his works again here.

‘Isn’t there some pitfalls in this book? '

It's hard for An Le not to guess like this.

But worrying is nothing to worry about, An Le still read the investigation manual honestly.

[I am not talented, I have traveled in the wilderness for several years and accumulated a wealth of knowledge...]

[After coming to this abandoned city, I immediately developed a deep interest in its history, so I recorded the process of investigating the history in a book for future generations to observe. 】

As shameless as always, An Le skipped some less important descriptions.

[According to the information I found. 】

[The waste capital was born after a nuclear explosion with a huge yield. 】

[The original system of the city was completely destroyed after that explosion. Since then, the three major companies have been established one after another, gradually rebuilding the city on the ruins. 】

[I feel a little puzzled by this. 】

[As we all know, a large amount of radioactive substances will be left after a nuclear explosion, which will remain in the soil, air, and water sources, and it is difficult to eliminate. 】

[Rebuilding a city in such an area, isn't it a dead end? 】

An Le nodded silently.

In fact, he wondered about that too.

Shouldn't ordinary people treat nuclear radiation like a tiger?

How can the city be rebuilt here?

Living here for a long time, not to mention the possibility of cancer, the probability of newborn deformation will definitely be greatly increased.

[In order to explore the secret behind this, I found a very old man, hoping to get some information from him. 】

[The previous interviews went smoothly, and the old man cooperated very well with the rich money reward. 】

[However, when asked questions related to history, the old man hesitated and hesitated to answer. 】

[For this reason, I stepped up the money offensive, and the old man was finally able to let go. 】

[According to him, this is a saying passed down from his grandfather's generation. 】

[The former Wasted City was not called Wasted City, but had another name, but that name was eaten by some unknown monster, so no one could remember it. 】

[And it was to destroy that monster that the nuclear explosion happened. 】

‘An existence that needs to be destroyed with a nuclear explosion? '

An Le was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that this might be an important confrontation between the technology side and the mysterious side.

The most powerful weapon developed by human technology collided with an indescribable monster.

But judging from the current results, probably... the former won?

An Le paused, and continued to look down.

[The nameless monster finally disappeared in the nuclear explosion, but it also left a terrible curse on the surviving residents. 】

[Those who flow the blood of this place cannot leave this cursed land. 】

[Once you stay away from the ruins, your body will disintegrate and die. 】

[Some people have tried to break the curse, but all failed. 】

【The losers are reduced to a situation that is more painful than death. 】

【Even the brilliance of the Lord of Radiance cannot spread to this city. 】

[Some people say that He never actually died, but just changed a form of existence. 】

【He straddles the top of the city, watching these cursed people silently and coldly. 】

【He is everywhere. 】

[When talking about these contents, the old man looked terrified, as if he was worried about being heard by something. 】

[As the topic continues to deepen, this abnormal situation intensifies. 】

[The old man began to stare nervously at a soda can in the corner, murmured some inexplicable words, and he didn't realize it, but after I woke him up from some indescribable hallucination, he He became more and more terrified, and looked around anxiously, as if any monster in the dark would jump out and bite his head off. 】

【"Do you feel it? It seems like someone is staring at me!" That's what the old man asked me at the time. 】

[I naturally gave a negative answer, and reconfirmed that we are in a safe place. 】

[It’s just that the communication with the old man became very difficult. Sometimes he lost his focus and couldn’t hear my questions, as if he was immersed in another world that I couldn’t see. 】

[At that time, I thought to myself that the old man might suffer from a recessive mental illness. Unfortunately, I happened to be ill—this kind of situation is not uncommon in the abandoned capital. 】

【So, I decided to visit him again tomorrow. 】

*****

[The next day, I found out when I came to the door. 】

[The old man is dead. 】

Thanks to "Lonely City" for the reward of 100 coins! Thank you so much!
