The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

"...Why is this happening?" Shen Ge originally thought that after breaking away from the infinite loop, the subsequent development would be nothing more than two results -

 One is to follow the situation of entering the dream world for the second time, go all the way to the spire, and then enter the carrion room full of eyes to try to escape.

 The other is to trigger a certain "restart mechanism" again, thereby entering another form of infinite loop.

But now it seems that the situation is not that simple. The person behind the scenes discovered that he was gradually mastering the abilities and operating rules of the dream world, and wanted to cause an accident to take his life if he fully believed in the "plot".

Just like when he made a sharp turn and hit a tree just now, if Shen Ge hadn't reacted quickly, he might have even flown off the cliff and crashed the car and killed everyone.

 But why would the other party do this?

Shen Ge was a little confused. The person behind the scenes was so powerful that he could control the operation of the entire world. This was obviously beyond the range that Shen Ge could deal with. This was just like facing the strange battle between the two eighth-level enemies on Sakura Island. It was no longer ordinary. A battle of destruction that can be controlled by humans.

 According to the information given in the [Log], after the two level 8 strange monsters destroyed Sakura Island, the strange disaster quickly spread around the world, accelerating the demise of mankind.

Of course, this is just Shen Ge’s speculation. After all, the person behind the scenes who controls the dream world really exists, and his power of “embodiment” and “hypnosis” is somewhat unreasonable.

 Being able to control the dream world and giving him this extraordinary power feels like it is unnecessary.

If there is no so-called "person behind the scenes", then the "interference" after coming out of Rongshan Mental Hospital becomes a bit intriguing.

For now, Shen Ge's "death" in the dream world seems to be only a "punishment" of losing a memory, which can be said to have no essential harm to him.

Shen Ge sat in the car and took a breath, using his magic energy to "hypnotize" himself to heal. The car was scrapped, and he could only walk to Rong City.

Thunder exploded in the sky from time to time, and lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the woods on both sides of the mountain road, which looked particularly terrifying. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Shen Ge pulled down the hood of his raincoat, took out the flashlight, turned it on, and continued to walk along the mountain road. Walk down the mountain.

After walking for a few hours, Shen Ge came out of the mountain and once again came to the long-abandoned Quanshan Village at the foot of the mountain. Then he searched around and found that the situation here was not much different from what he saw during the last dream trip. There was no sign of any monsters, but there were many unknown insects crawling around.

Last time, Shen Ge found a glass bottle and caught a bug and took it away. However, when he left the dream world, although the bug was taken out, it was already dead, and the research value was greatly reduced.

This time, Shen Ge was fully prepared and had something similar to a storage container, such as a body bag, so he thought about catching more bugs and going back to study them.

With the idea of ​​catching one bug of each species and bringing it back, Shen Ge turned into a boy catching bugs in Quanshan Village, but while catching bugs, a question suddenly occurred to him...

From Sakura Island to the "future", Shen Ge began to bring various research materials and weird samples from the future and weird space back to the real world. This also led to the rapid development of weird research in the real world, so much so that Rong City has become far away. It is equipped with an eight-piece set of basic conspiracy equipment that transcends all countries in the world.

But in the events that have occurred in the past few months, weirdos have also been "evolving" rapidly, and even two new types of weirdos have appeared in a mysterious plane incident.

After bringing back Yoona and the weirdo samples from Bang Country, Li Xiang established a special weirdo research department in Rong City, which also put the Rong City branch on the path of weirdo research.

  Shen Ge couldn't help but recall the system prompt when he first entered the Rong City branch—

　　【The host breaks into the strange headquarters alone. There are a large number of high-level strange realms here. The collision of different strange spaces has caused space distortion. 】

Is it possible that the Rong City branch is developing towards this "prophecy" at this time, and the root cause is what Shen Ge brought back from the "future" and the strange space?

For example, according to the normal plot line, whether it is weird alienation or the evolution of weirdos, it is actually much slower. However, because of their exposure to the research data of "Future", they have avoided some wrong attempts and found the solution. Shortcuts and the right evolution plan!

Shen Ge also discovered a key problem, that is, the two new types of weirdos that appeared on the mysterious plane, the "white wax" and the weirdos that "weakened the mysterious power and blocked detection" did not appear in Sakura Island's "Future", not even in the research report Not mentioned in either.

　　It seems that "white wax" is a newly evolved weirdo in the real world.

However, this speculation was shaken after Shen Ge entered the dream world this time, because during the "infinite loop" process, a human-headed spider appeared, and its body had a "white wax"-like reaction.

Is this a coincidence?

But speaking of coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence that as soon as a new type of "Pewter Monster" appeared in reality, "the same type of weirdo" appeared in the dream world.

Shen Ge was a little hesitant for a while, especially after learning about the existence of the Weird Association and that they had cooperated with the Special Policy Department to a certain extent.

 But now that we have come to this point, we are not missing these few bugs.

After catching several bottles of bugs, Shen Ge continued walking towards Rong City. This area was later known as Donghuan Lake Park. It was only a few dozen minutes' drive from Rong City's urban area, which was not too far away.

As we got closer to Rong City, the rain became heavier and heavier. The light rain gradually turned into a downpour, and Shen Ge's traveling speed was also greatly affected.

In the distance, in the center of the city where tall buildings stand, circular spiers reach straight into the sky, looking particularly eerie against the backdrop of heavy rain and lightning.

Minaret, high-rise building... Shen Ge originally thought that only Rong City had launched a refuge plan, but he didn't expect that the Ping An Hotel inadvertently opened the door to the dream world and saw a similar "high-rise building" for refuge.

It is enough to see that the weird situation in the "future" is not optimistic. Almost all important cities have adopted shelter plans, allowing those above to continue their lives as human beings.

The "Shelter Project" is just used to deal with viral monsters like zombies. The weird alienation cannot be completely blocked by the high wall. Instead, it builds a tomb for itself.

Shen Ge was walking on the streets of the city. Parasites with fleshy petals and scorpion tail heads were everywhere wandering the streets, and the breath of life on his body quickly attracted the attention of the monsters.

 Fortunately, Shen Ge already had experience in dealing with it, and he followed the previous route with ease, all the way to the outside of the high wall of the minaret.

Shen Ge walked around and found a room with an open window on the fifth floor of the minaret. Then he went to a nearby tall building, manifested the ejection device and grappling hook, and successfully entered the building.

Entering the minaret building again, the first thing that catches the eye is still the blood-red passage like an apartment corridor. The corridor is faintly filled with blood-colored mist. Doors are neatly lined up on both sides. The one where Shen Ge is standing The location happens to be the "entrance" to this floor.

On the wall on the left is still the warning sign that reminds you to wear "Energy Protective Clothing" to prevent disease if you have recently entered or exited the area below the tenth floor. This means that there seems to be no change in the steeple.

This immediately made Shen Ge even more strange. After he left Rongshan Mental Hospital, the force of "interference" was very powerful, but as he entered Rong City, the influence gradually disappeared, as if everything was back on track.

"What's going on? Does that force just don't want me to leave Rongshan Mental Hospital, or die there? But this is all a dream world, what's the difference?" Shen Ge was confused.

Shen Ge walked along the corridor and once again saw the can with the production date "20320331", which once again confirmed his suspicion that no "interference" occurred here.

Shen Ge’s memory of the last time he came here is still very clear. He clearly remembers where there is something strange lurking and where the worst-hit areas are.

 Soon, Shen Ge found the red research room. Under the dim red light, the room is full of experimental equipment and appliances. It seems that this place is not like an operating room or a laboratory, but more like a torture chamber where confessions are extracted, and everything is weird and terrifying.

The next second, Shen Ge directly raised his hand to "materialize" a flame, burning the magic energy he released to ignite the cabinet in the corner.

Locked in the cabinet are parasitic weirdos that have undergone alienation. Last time, these parasitic weirdos ate each other and mutated quickly, causing him a lot of trouble.

This time Shen Ge struck first, giving these parasitic monsters a BBQ before they broke through the container, and strangled them directly in the cabinet.

The fire quickly ignited most of the room, and also triggered the fire protection system in the house. Water began to be sprayed from the ceiling to extinguish the fire.

However, what Shen Ge "materialized" was burning his own strange energy. The cabinet was the area where he concentrated his firepower. Before the fire extinguishing device took effect, the parasitic weirdness inside was burned to death by the strange fire.

To ensure safety, Shen Ge waited until the fire was out and opened the cabinet to check. All the parasitic monsters were burned to char, exuding a strange rancid smell.

Strangely, Shen Ge actually felt that the smell was a bit "fragrant", as if the meat was accidentally burnt when grilling, but it had a different kind of aroma.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Shen Ge swallowed unconsciously, and a strange feeling of hunger suddenly appeared in his stomach. It seemed that he could still hear the faint growling of his stomach.

Shen Ge immediately realized that there was something wrong with this weird hunger. He had never had an appetite for weirdness. Even when he and Cheng Shengnan ate at the restaurant where the weird incident happened, the steak that was served had a weird smell. His first reaction was also "disgusting".

Although he once teased Cheng Shengnan that according to research reports, weird meat can not only regenerate, but is not much different from normal animal meat. The Department of Secrets even verified that weird meat can be eaten, but if he really wants to eat weird meat, There is still some resistance.

So when Shen Ge felt "hungry" in front of the strange, charred parasitic corpse, the first thing he thought of was that his spirit had been affected again.

But in fact, from the moment we entered Rong City, the "interference power" that appeared near Rongshan Mental Hospital that affected consciousness disappeared without a trace.

Shen Ge collapsed the cabinet door and shelf with a "thud" sound, burying the strange parasitic corpse underneath. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, he would actually pick it up and eat it.

Shen Ge stood up and was about to walk towards the door not far away. There was a high-level weirdo guarding the stairwell behind the door.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Strangely, Shen Ge felt that his hunger was getting worse and worse, as if even the ugly weirdo in the stairwell was delicious food.

Even...it whets his appetite more than those burnt parasitic weirdos!

 Something is wrong!

 Something is very wrong!

Shen Ge felt that something was wrong with his body and mind. He even had the illusion that he was "turning into a monster".

 Because in the eyes of Weird and outsiders, the temptation that cannibalism can absorb is far greater than the "enjoying small cakes" option of eating people.

"etc!"

Shen Ge suddenly realized that perhaps the strange people outside the door were more attractive to him than those charred parasitic weird ones. This was probably the reason for the strange abilities!

 The level of the weirdo outside the door is close to level 4, which is far higher than the level 1 weirdness in the cabinet. The strength of the strange energy in his body is higher, so the appetite is stronger!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Shen Ge's stomach growled "hungry" again. He resisted the eating instinct that eroded his consciousness and wanted to stop himself from approaching the door, but he couldn't do it. It was as if the body had lost control and was acting on instinct.

 There was a "creak" sound, and the door slowly opened. The rotten door made a harsh sound, which also completely attracted the attention of the monster outside the house.

  In the dark red stairwell, the monster's entire body was like an open flesh-eating man-eating flower occupying most of the space. Each flesh-eating petal was covered with sharp teeth.

 And the back of its body stretched out tentacles that looked like rotten flesh, sticking to the surrounding ceiling and walls, as if they were integrated with the walls. In the center of its flesh and blood body, there is a woman's body with only the upper body left and most of it rotting. The woman gives people the feeling of being half "swallowed" by flesh and blood petals.

Half of the face has lost its original appearance, leaving only skinless muscle tissue and "melted" flesh. The other half of the face can still be seen as a human face, with a weird smile on it.

However, in Shen Ge’s eyes, all this-

 It’s all delicious food!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Shen Ge looked like a man who had been hungry for several days and nights. His stomach was growling with hunger, but there was a sumptuous barbecue buffet in front of him.

But Shen Ge knew clearly that if he "succumbed" to the consciousness in his mind at this time, he would definitely become a weirdo and lose his nature.

Although he is now in a dream world, even death will not have much impact on him in reality, but no one is sure whether this "weird transformation" will cause the same symptoms to him in reality.

Although Shen Ge and the system of weird cells that are the ancestors have "fused" and have already become "semi-eccentric", this level of eccentricity is at least within the controllable range. Once it reaches the step of "cannibalism", it may be possible. Never look back?

etc?

 The "devourment" of the system has not long ago taken the step of cannibalism. Is the "hungry" at this time somehow related to the devouring power of the system?

 Gulu.

 Gulu.

 Shen Ge's eyes were faintly filled with blood red. (End of chapter)
