global pollution

Unless the doctor is studying herself, she was already sick when the first wave of the disease spread. Even though she knew that going to church could cure the disease, she still chose to use scientific methods to find the cause instead of blindly relying on the so-called God.

However, there is no mention of the transcendent thing that Xia Ren most wants to know, but combined with the development of the matter, the first time the residents fell ill, they were infected with neurofungus, and the cure was to go to the church, so the church probably hid There's that thing that inhibits fungal growth.

The residents went to the church with the second illness and found that the priest had smashed the idol. Since then, the disease has completely lost control and developed into what it is today.

Xia Ren recalled the details, and noticed that the notes said that the church was holding blue gemstones cut from the eyes of the statue.

"The gemstone, could it be something beyond?"

"Now, you should know the origin of the incident."

The real estate agent leaned on the outpatient desk, with a half-smile, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"There are always lunatics in this world."

Xia Ren put the notebook on the window sill beside him.

The neurofungi this time are similar to the first-instar larvae of the burrower in that they can manipulate humans to a certain extent, but atypical insectophobia affects patients mentally, causing them to gather and cause swarms to fly Phenomena, while the manipulation of neurofungi is more thorough, directly turning human beings into their puppets.

In terms of transmission methods, there is also a significant difference between the two. Xia Ren originally thought that the neurofungus was only spread by contact, but according to the records in the notes, when the second outbreak occurred, all the residents of the small town were infected overnight, which shows that it is still alive. There are other more efficient methods of transmission, and even the transmission efficiency is even more terrifying than atypical insectophobia.

In terms of treatment, with my own physique, there is nothing I can do after infection. Even Shoggoth, which can swallow pollutants, suffers from the fungus. It is hard to imagine that there is any medicine that can eliminate this fungus. , once an ordinary person is infected, they will quickly transform into a puppet state, completely controlled by the neurofungus, and there is no way out. Even a real estate agent who is a B-level investigator has to rely on dark water to continue his life. This level of infection , perhaps already close to the color of the stars.

However, unlike the color of the stars, the neural fungus does not have the destructive power to grab the energy of the entire planet.

However, if it is really put outside, it may really become a plague of the same level as atypical insectphobia.

Must be contained as soon as possible!

Just as Xia Ren was about to take out his mobile phone to contact the outside world, he saw the real estate agent looking at him with a smile.

"It's useless, the pollution here is too serious, and there seems to be some shielding device, even the Foundation's mobile phone, there is no signal."

Xia Ren looked at the phone screen, and sure enough, as the real estate agent said, there was no signal at all.

He looked up at the other party, and said with firm eyes: "Then I will leave here and go outside to inform the Foundation that this town must not continue to exist, and none of the aberrations inside can escape."

Neurofungus must not be allowed to spread and become another plague!

The real estate agent shook his head: "That's not necessary, little brother Xia underestimated me. Before entering the town, I had already notified Lord Jiufeng and asked her to help. She should be able to arrive here tomorrow at the latest. "

"The reason why I stay here is not because I can't escape, but because I want to investigate other things."

Xia Ren asked, "What's the matter?"

The real estate agent laughed twice and said, "Those foreigners mentioned in the notes."

"I felt something was wrong from the beginning of my pursuit of the alien faction. It seemed that there was an invisible force that was interfering with my continued pursuit. As a result, the clues were almost interrupted several times, and they were not connected until another sacrifice occurred in other cities.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence, after all, unlucky things happen often, but when they arrived in Soli City, they were still careless, and even let a city councilor come into contact with heretics, city councilors are not at the same level as ordinary people Characters, how can a group of lunatics with brain problems communicate with people of this level. "

Xia Ren frowned: "Isn't it old to be a matchmaker?"

"As expected of Little Brother Xia."

The real estate agent clapped his hands and said, "How much do you know about immortality?"

Xia Ren gritted his teeth: "There is only a simple understanding."

The real estate agent pulled a dusty chair next to him and sat down, saying: "I suspect that the old man will help this sect behind the scenes. I don't know what their purpose is, so I want to stay here and try to dig out Truth, if you are lucky enough to bite one of the members of the Ageless Society, it will be a bumper harvest."

It turned out to be this reason.

However, although Xia Ren is also more curious about the Ageless Society, he has little interest in deciphering games: "Don't worry about the Ageless Society, but if you continue like this, before you find out the truth, you will become the same as those people outside." puppet."

The corner of the real estate agent's mouth curled up, and he said confidently, "I don't have to worry about that."

Looking at his expression and his tone of voice, Xia Ren wondered if he already had a solution, so he said, "Do you know how to treat this fungus?"

Unexpectedly, the real estate agent said simply: "I don't know."

"then you……"

Xia Ren was halfway through talking, when he suddenly guessed what the real estate agent was thinking, he was stunned, and said, "It's really shameless."

This guy has already laid down, intending to ignore everything and throw it all to himself, and he is sure that he is also infected by fungus, so he will definitely continue to investigate.

The real estate agent didn't have any embarrassment, and said with a smile: "To each other. And it's not that I don't want to help you. Look at my frail body. Going outside to fight those irrational town residents is just letting me die."

Xia Ren didn't dwell too much on this issue, but instead said, "I have a request."

The real estate agent knew why he came to Xizhou to find him, so he was prepared: "When this matter is over, I will fulfill your request."

"Really?"

Xia Ren seemed to be a different person, his eyes lit up, and he became refreshed instantly.

He looked up and down the real estate agent as if he was looking at delicious food, couldn't help but licked his lips, and his breathing became a little short.

The real estate agent's heart trembled, wondering if this kid has any strange sexual fetishes?

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xia Ren rarely laughed.

"It turned out to be deliberately teasing me."

The real estate agent breathed a sigh of relief.

"About the method of treating fungal infections, I don't have any clues. When I tracked them down, I realized one thing. These alien members all carried fungal spores and ran to so many cities, but they never There have been cases of fungal infections, which is to say that the fungi were not entirely out of control for pagans."

"If it's just that, I'm not sure yet, but when they look for ordinary people to perform sacrificial ceremonies, they will inevitably have physical contact with the victims, but the remains of those victims have never been infected, so it can be seen , They must have some way to prevent the spread of the fungus. I suspect it is the blue gemstone that the priest cut out from the idol recorded in the notes."

"But what I can't figure out now is that if the purpose of these heretics was to spread the plague, they could have spread the fungal spores to every city that the earth passed by, but they didn't do it, especially in the city of Soli. At that time, these heretics had clearly prepared the mutants to self-explode and spread fungal spores, but they did not do it until the plan was destroyed by me. Knowing that the Foundation had already intervened in the investigation, they fled directly back to the After leaving this small town, I cut off all contact with the outside world, as if waiting for us to come to my door."

The real estate agent spoke out all his thoughts in one breath, trying to provide Xia Ren with some help.

"Their actions seem inconsistent. Well, they are a group of lunatics. It's normal to not be able to guess what they are thinking."

"If it wasn't for this damn fungus and this ordinary human body, I would really like to go out with you and see how far you have grown."

"Wish you all the best."

said the real estate agent.

Xia Ren nodded, planning to turn out the window again.

Just as he stretched out his legs, he turned around and asked worriedly, "Are you staying here?"
