"Name?"

"..."

"Don't talk, right? That's good!"

"Your name is Daniel, you are seventy-nine years old, and you are from the town of Commons. You and a group of townspeople are worshiping an existence called the 'God of Fertility' and the 'Green Shape'."

"Do you think you can hide the truth without speaking?"

"Tell me, why did you shoot Gresham? He is a senior member of your church, so you should have no reason to kill him."

The interrogator paused and said meaningfully:

"After all, your return to youth is exactly what Gresham is doing. Should you support him?"

In the temporarily requisitioned school classroom, Ning Xiuyuan, no, it should be said that the puppet man he controlled, was sitting on a chair with his hands cuffed, undergoing interrogation.

The puppet man had a dull expression, but Ning Xiuyuan, who was hiding in the puppet's house, had a completely strange expression.

When he left the hospital, a pistol was suddenly pointed at his head.

Then two men in black uniforms rushed up, quickly and skillfully knocked him to the ground, and handcuffed him.

Ning Xiuyuan thought he had met a military policeman, but the reality was beyond his expectation.

He was taken to the small town school and waited until dawn before someone came to interrogate him.

The interrogator was none other than the little girl who was cautious in front of him as if she was trying to please her boyfriend - Ji Zijun.

The difference is that today, she is no longer as cautious as last time.

She was wearing a black uniform, with a pistol on her waist, and a cold face, which made her look particularly intimidating.

After pushing open the door to the interrogation room, he went straight to the subject, contrary to convention, and the amount of information revealed was enough to shock most cultists with evil intentions.

Unfortunately, Ning Xiuyuan is not a cultist after all.

He was silent for a moment, then controlled the puppet and said: "Everything is God's will!"

Ji Zijun's expression suddenly became serious, and his heart started beating loudly: "Can you hear...the will of God? The God of Fertility?"

She has become prominent on the site since her last successful attempt to pacify a potential Keter-class humanoid containment subject.

But she is not willing to be a behind-the-scenes psychological counselor.

The vigor of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers made her long for a chance, so she came.

Unfortunately, a newcomer is a newcomer, and she was still assigned to the front line in the rear, responsible for interrogating a group of dispensable cultists.

As a result, she didn't expect that she would catch another big fish.

In fact, let alone her, the expressions of the two field agents guarding the door of the classroom suddenly became serious.

Their fingers subconsciously relaxed and rested lightly on the trigger, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

Ji Zijun and the field agents reacted, which made Ning Xiuyuan frown.

He didn't expect that a snake oil answer would cause such a big reaction from them?

Yes, he was negligent, this is not the Dawn Cult.

His snake-oil answer, in this situation, is completely literal!

"Of course, God loves the world, Gresham violated the doctrine and deserves to be killed!"

Ning Xiuyuan continued to tell lies, no matter what, he was just a puppet anyway, so it didn't matter if he died.

"Doctrine?" Ji Zijun's expression became strange. She listened slightly to the message coming from the earphones, and then asked attentively for a while: "Have you spied on an Asian tourist before?"

Daniel nodded.

"Where are the others?"

"I have no idea."

"Don't know?" Ji Zijun's tone suddenly raised.

"Clang!"

The classroom door opened wide, and a middle-aged man was pushed in.

——He was the third person to spy on Ning Xiuyuan after the old man in the pickup truck, Daniel. Later, Ning Xiuyuan used two wild dogs to distract him, and he slipped out of the hotel under his nose.

The middle-aged man glanced around the room with a panicked expression, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the face of 'Ning Xiuyuan'.

"Daniel, what are you doing?"

He looked at Daniel's young face with a look of disbelief on his face. After a long while, he suddenly remembered something and his expression became angry.

"I understand! I understand! That white-skinned devil has been sacrificed to God by you. You deliberately tricked me into taking turns guarding at night, just to drive me away from Gresham, right?"

"Why? Why do you do this? Could it be that...you want to make a sacrifice?"

The middle-aged man roared angrily... Daniel returned to youth, which can only mean one thing. He offered a sacrifice to God and received a gift from God.

The question is, where did this offering come from?

In this small town where everyone knows each other, the answer is obvious.

In this regard, Daniel remained silent.

Ning Xiuyuan, who was far away in a house on the edge of the town, had a look of astonishment on his face.

He never thought that his act of defrauding aging and making the puppet body younger and easier to control seemed to make the people of the cult misunderstand something?

However, this also just covered up the secret of his missing body.

"talk?"

The middle-aged man roared unwillingly, but was immediately pulled out by two field agents.

——Obviously, his existence is only to confirm certain things through confrontation.

The classroom became quiet.

"Actually, we are not very interested in you shooting Gresham or even kidnapping foreign tourists. What we are really interested in is that you seem to know the location of the altar of the God of Fertility?"

Daniel became more and more silent.

"Don't speak? It doesn't matter. Silence is the best answer. We only have one request now, take our people in and pay homage to the great God of Fertility, the Green Form."

Ji Zijun read out the name "God of Fertility, Green Shape" with a hint of sarcasm.

"good!"

Ning Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

Even if no one forces him, he actually intends to control the puppet to go in and walk around.

"You know the current situation!"

Ji Zijun snorted coldly, stood up and left, feeling a little regretful. Originally, she wanted to use this opportunity to torture her to extract a confession.

Naturally, she hated these cultists who didn't take human life seriously.

In the end, she didn't expect Daniel to agree so simply. What a pity!

Not far from the classroom, a middle-aged man with a clean face and a beard walked towards him.

He is Mr. Garden, deputy director of the NERC site's medical department. Under normal circumstances, senior members of his level should not appear on the front lines.

But this time the situation is special.

A large-scale infection broke out in the small town of Commons, and the infection even spread to surrounding towns. Considering the sudden emergence of a cult organization here, the Foundation has reason to suspect that this is an abnormal event.

"Mr. Garden, how is the infection situation in the town?" Ji Zijun couldn't help but ask.

"It's under control." Garden nodded, but his expression was not relaxed.

"Is this... an abnormal event?" Ji Zijun noticed something and asked cautiously.

"Hard to say."

"Um?"

"The traceability team has found that the source of infection comes from tap water. We have also found that the main tap water pipeline has been gnawed by rats. The main infectious disease in this outbreak is also epidemic hemorrhagic fever. The logical chain is very complete. But this infectious disease does not stop there.

Hemorrhagic fever is a disease whose infection scale is second only to hemorrhagic fever. Do you know what it is?"

Ji Zijun shook his head.

Garden said with a meaningful expression: "Bird flu."

Ji Zijun was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Bird flu? Rat? You mean, this is man-made?"

Garden shook his head: "So I can't say for sure. Humans can be infected with avian influenza, and mice can also be infected. After all, it is an RNA virus. But it is the first time that mice are the source of infection and can spread and become sick so quickly.

I heard that the evil god that this group of people believe in can grant special abilities to its believers. This may be what the murderous doctor did. Of course, I may be overthinking all this, and everything may be just a coincidence. In short, the specific results still have to be seen.

Frontline containment results.”

Ji Zijun nodded and exhaled slightly.

She knew that anything involving contained objects would always be accompanied by weirdness and absurdity.
