With his extraordinary perspective enabled, Wu Ming looked around the scenery in the carriage. With the help of the auxiliary device, he could accurately recall every detail of what he saw and heard in his memory, trying to find some traces of the influence of extraordinary power in the fading world.
"First of all, it was the mobile phone... The initial abnormality was probably caused by the mobile phone. Whether it was the young man or the passengers in the car, the only thing they had in common was that they were looking at the mobile phone..."
"Is there something in the phone? Or is the phone itself an anomalous object?"
Zhao Chensi's body was still glowing with green light, which was so green that it dazzled the eyes, and some colors of different colors also appeared on the gray and faded passengers.
But unlike Zhao Chensi, the color that enveloped the passengers was very hazy, almost so light that they would be ignored if they didn't pay attention. This showed that they had indeed been affected by extraordinary power just now, but the traces of the extraordinary remained on their bodies. It's not as serious as imagined...
At the same time, Wu Ming also noticed that Zhao Chensi turned into a living corpse staring at the phone screen as if his soul had been taken away after seeing the phone screen.
"The auxiliary device opens the mental barrier and cognitive filter, continuously monitors whether my state of consciousness is online, and asks illogical questions every half minute. You can find the questions yourself from my memory and knowledge. Once my main My consciousness fell into a deep sleep or drifted away. I allow you to use all means to bring my consciousness back..." Wu Ming gently tapped his temple with his finger, inputted this command into the auxiliary device in advance, and gave it its corresponding permissions.
No news has been sent back from the office yet, and he plans to personally investigate the cause of this extraordinary incident.
With almost no delay, the auxiliary device came back with feedback recorded by the director: "Why is there so much nonsense? Just go on your way without any worries!"
Wu Ming: "..."
Why does this sound so unlucky...
Wu Ming shook his head and threw this idea away. Immediately, he looked at the information on the screen of the mobile phone in Zhao Chensi's hand.
"The entire carriage was immersed in the effect of the Crimson King. The initial attempt was almost successful. Next, just repeating the previous behavior can achieve the goal, but... at this time, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared and disrupted the original plan. "
…………
At the same time, near Huxin Park in Yandu Old Town.
The building opposite the Huxin Park is the nearest large-scale comprehensive shopping mall to Wu Ming's home, other than the large supermarket. It has a history of nearly 20 years since it was built.
In Yandu, a city with rapid urban development, many other shopping malls like it have gradually fallen behind the times with the development of the city, and have been impacted by the commercial pedestrian streets and emerging business districts built in various urban areas in the past two decades, but only Century Department Store is The building has maintained steady development.
Of course, there are geographical advantages in this. There is a commercial office building and an international hotel next to Huxin Park. The nearest business district and shopping area is the Century Department Store across the road.
The Century Department Store itself is structurally designed and divided into two parts: the floors below the tenth floor are used to house various shops, and the floors above the tenth floor are used as office buildings for leasing, which itself has certain potential customers. Advantages: After several years of urban planning, several office buildings have risen from the ground, and a nearby subway transportation network has been established. There is also a faint trend of forming a new large-scale business district with Century Department Store as the center.
The weather-beaten side walls of Century Department Store are obviously faded. This building has a sense of antiquity that has accumulated over time in both its design and appearance.
And Elizabeth is taking Siegfried here to enjoy his first shopping trip after returning to the normal world.
"I told you I don't need too many clothes. The double transformation spell can meet all appearance needs..." Siegfried mumbled and walked out of the fitting room. She was now wearing a black lace dress (Dragon scales deformed), hanging up the set of clothes he had just tried on, "And I really feel uncomfortable without wearing something on my face..."
Elizabeth sat on the bench outside the fitting room. She looked at the store clerk who was busy playing with his mobile phone and the store, which was a little deserted because of the working day. She stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and muttered vaguely: "Even if you really don't need clothes, You also need to have a certain level of common sense about aesthetics and disguise. This is not like the world you were in before where you could wear black robes and masks all day long. You have to adapt to the worldview of ordinary people, otherwise you won't be able to survive in this world."
A trace of surprise flashed in Siegfried's eyes with a frosty face: "I can't believe I can hear such words from your mouth..."
"I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid! In order to survive in this world, I had to dye my hair black and then cut it short every time I transformed and used my powers. Suddenly, if your long hair is exposed, some annoying supernatural forces will come to your door within minutes..." Elizabeth rolled her eyes, reached into the paper bag beside her, took out two puffs, and handed them to Siegfried. One continued.
"And you can't live in one place for too long. Your appearance has not changed at all in the past ten years, which will make people suspicious. Especially in modern society, information spreads very fast on the Internet, and everyone stares at their mobile phones every day and is followed by them. It's like a parasite. Almost everyone in the country will know about any incident within two hours, and some insiders will add fuel to the fire, causing the versions that come out to be more outrageous and the things heard to be more mysterious than the last..."
"If I hadn't covered up my extraordinary power and been exposed, even if I hadn't been arrested and sectioned for study, or if I hadn't been visited by the disgusting extraordinary forces, I wouldn't have been able to live a normal life for a long time in the future if it was spread through the Internet..." You can find a place to hide in the deep mountains and old forests..."
Elizabeth's well-founded and logical remarks made Siegfried a little stunned. Judging from previous interactions and observations, this silly and optimistic girl should be...at best, she is not experienced in the world, and at worst, she is stupid. It was basically impossible for a girl with a weak brain to say something like this, which made her have to wonder if this silly girl was talking about her own personal experience.
"Why do I always feel like this sounds like your experience..."
"The extraordinary creature who used to live with me in the north just didn't have the disguise to be exposed." Elizabeth finished the big puff in her hand in three mouthfuls. "That time he had a fight with another member of the extraordinary force, and he happened to be killed by a passerby. Take a photo and post it online..."
Siegfried sucked the cream out of the big puff, and asked curiously: "Then what?"
"Then he became famous, and all the relationships he had established in human society were destroyed. People around him recognized that the person who became famous on the Internet was him, and some good people found it unbelievable that they exposed his identity on the Internet. Basic information, so that he finally had to run to the south to find a deep mountain forest to hide. Later, it was rumored that there were traces of savages in XX Mountain, which was probably his masterpiece... However, as the scope of human activities further expands, it may not be long before He will be captured as a savage..."
"Oh... I have another question." Siegfried nodded thoughtfully, then quietly pointed to the clerk not far away who was leaning half of his body on the counter playing with his mobile phone: "People of your era are like Do you stare at your phone like this all day long?"
Elizabeth looked in the direction of Siegfried's finger: the clerk he was pointing to had a mechanical expression as if he was petrified, and his eyes were staring blankly at the screen of his mobile phone. He looked like...
It’s like having your soul and consciousness taken away by a mobile phone!
