【Wisdom Erosion】94%!

As the negative state deepened and the first boundary was broken, Yan Jing finally understood why Yu Zhen suddenly lost his composure before.

The environment, which was already extremely groggy due to the rainy day, became even more bizarre at this moment.

Everything you see in front of you seems to have some kind of scary hint, which makes people feel suspicious.

Looking down, the old secretary under his feet no longer looked like a monster. The black mist lingering around him, like a substance, was obviously the key factor that caused his sudden mutation.

The key to the problem lies precisely in this.

What is the reason for Lao Shuzuo's sudden mutation?

"Is there something weird somewhere in this room?"

Yu Zhen took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and tried to relieve his abnormal state, but still failed.

"It is possible, but the chance is not high. If there was something strange in the house, we should have noticed it when we came in before. Not to mention that he is an ordinary person. There is no reason for him to stay in such a house for so long."

Shuofeng Sword was pressed against the monster's neck, Yan Jing frowned and said,

"I didn't encounter any difficulty when I tried to control him before. This is enough to prove that when we first met, he was indeed just an ordinary person. He was infused with these special energies on the way to being controlled by my abilities... It's true.

There is an evil spirit targeting us, and his strength is too weak!"

After fighting in just a few seconds, Yan Jing could feel that although the old Shuzuo had mutated, his ability after transforming into a monster was really limited.

Even if you want to make a sneak attack, you can at least send someone strong enough, right?

Otherwise, it is meaningless except to alert others.

"You mean that this mutation is not actually aimed at us, but because he has problems with himself... But that doesn't make sense, does it? The timing is too coincidental."

"Maybe my control over him triggered a certain mechanism, or maybe our negative state attracted the arrival of the weird one. It can't hurt us, it can only change its target to someone who is easier to bully, and then try to attack."

While speaking, the palm of his hand suddenly became strong, and he thrust the Shuofeng Sword into the back of the monster's neck. The torso under his feet twitched and then became silent again. Yan Jing then continued,

"No matter what, this house is not suitable for staying any longer. Get the information you want and evacuate as soon as possible."

Yu Zhen nodded, turned around and sat back at the table to continue reading the files.

Only this time she picked up the pen and wrote a few words, and was patted on the shoulder by Yan Jing. She turned around and looked over with some confusion, and noticed that Yan Jing was staring at the files on the table, thoughtfully.

After a short silence, Yan Jing opened his mouth and said,

"You get up first, this time it's me who will check the files."

The positions were changed, and Yan Jing picked up the file that Yu Zhen had already read before and put aside to avoid mistakes. The latter was about to speak to remind, but Yan Jing raised his hand to stop him.

"Stand where you are, don't move, don't look through the files, don't look at the bodies on the ground, give me some time."

Yan Jing quickly looked through the various strange events described in the file, pausing from time to time. After about seven or eight minutes, he asked again,

"What is your current intellectual erosion data?"

"92%."

"I'm just like you now."

Picking up the file in his hand and shaking it in front of Yu Zhen, Yan Jing had a look of helplessness on his face.

"I think I have found the reason. This is probably the most troublesome part of this incident. You can also understand the erosion of will as... when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you!"

After learning that Yu Zhen's numerical value was different from his own, Yan Jing considered the reason. There was no difference between what the two parties saw and heard along the way. That is to say, when checking the files in this room, Yan Jing, as the person who helped,

It's more about assisting in searching files.

The former are the ones who really look through and think about the various events recorded in the files.

Correspondingly, the impact on Yu Zhen became more and more profound.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Jing said that this was the most troublesome and even terrifying thing.

The special environment in Jingjiang Town means that everyone in the town is bound to be affected as soon as they come into contact with weird-related things, and they have not been able to find the source at all.

Don’t forget, it’s only noon on the first day!

In order to complete their mission, Yan Jing and others must deal with evil spirits, weird and even related things, which means that they will inevitably endure the backlash from each other...

Three days.

It may just be a slight hallucination now, but what if it continues to deepen?

"We have to find ways to curb erosion."

Yu Zhen looked at Yan Jing and said in a deep voice.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a certain answer from the other's eyesight, and they said in unison,

"Sandu Buddha!"

According to the notice boards and files outside the government office, Sandu Buddha seems to have a very good effect on those evil spirits that are not recognized as earthly immortals or gods.

This is undoubtedly a good entry point.

The Sandu Buddha statue that can resist evil spirits cannot be created for no reason. Its maker must also know something about the situation in the town, and maybe he can get some important clues.

"What to do with these files? The clues above..."

With a clear goal in mind, Yu Zhen looked at the remaining pile of files.

"What else can we do? Let's divide the work and try to reduce losses as much as possible."

If you give up collecting clues because you are worried about the deepening of intellectual erosion, it is obviously putting the cart before the horse.

When it's time to take risks, Yan Jing never hesitates.

After sorting out the valuable clues, the two of them no longer cared about how to deal with the corpses on the ground. They didn't have time to waste here now. The less contact with weird things they had unless necessary, the better.

Since the person controlled by Shadow Cao's puppet was dead, Yan Jing had no intention of returning along the original route. After leaving the file room, he found a nearby wall and made sure there was no one outside before decisively climbing out.

"According to the records in the file, the pagoda where the Sandu Buddha was built should have been where Zhao Qianwu and Yu Ke went to explore that half of the town. Should we rush there now?"

Yu Zhen asked as he opened his umbrella and pretended to be a pedestrian while walking by the county government office.

"We don't have enough time. The distance from here to the pagoda according to the route given in the file will take at least 20 minutes to walk. This is without the need to find a way. Plus the time required for investigation, it will definitely not be enough.

I don’t recommend forcing your way there.”

Yan Jing took out his watch from his pocket and glanced at it. There was only half an hour left before the agreed rendezvous time. Instead of rushing over in a hurry, it was undoubtedly a better choice to make a decision before taking action.

Maybe the other two people have also found the key information at this time and are eager to meet with them to discuss it. Missing the meeting time will only make the situation more confusing.

The two quickly reached a consensus on the next step.

Go back to the inn first!

But what they didn't notice was that at the same time they climbed out of the wall, an uninvited guest also appeared at the main entrance of the county government office.

The thin, stooped man with slumped shoulders held an umbrella and walked towards the gate of the county government office. He held a shiny duck leg in his hand and ate as he walked. He looked very exaggerated when eating, as if he was extremely hungry.

He was all skin and bones, but his abdomen was bulging, making him look extremely uncoordinated.

He also wore three red silk ribbons on his chest, the top of one of which was stained with dark red blood stains, which was particularly eye-catching on the brown-gray cloth.

While walking, he looked at the empty side from time to time and kept mumbling,

"What a great place. This is simply a treasure land prepared just for me. I can't borrow this power without borrowing it!"

"Hey, this is the county government center, you...all these ribbons belong to you?"

Just as the officer was about to speak out to stop him, he caught a glimpse of the ribbon on the man's chest. His eyes widened immediately and he asked.

"Take me to the place where you store past files."

The man glanced at the official, raised his feet and walked inside. The latter subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he met the man's eyes, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he led the person forward like a puppet on strings.

Go to the county office.

This scene feels somewhat familiar.

It's just that this time the official brought into the county government was a complete devil.

When he leaves, he will take more than just information.
