After hearing what Acheng said, everyone in Huang Quan was completely stunned.
That is to say, Acheng has now activated [Sketch] and is in an absolutely calm state. Otherwise, if he returns to a little rationality, even with his usual stability, he may be shocked by the conclusion he reaches at this moment.
Because it is really shocking.
"That's wrong..."
After a brief silence, Li Youji activated [Resonance] with all his strength to maintain the condition of the two of them, while thinking, "If this heavy rain really made the whole world a restricted area, then why can't even a restricted area creature be seen outside?
?”
Everyone is now in the buffer zone. There are many forbidden creatures in this place at night. However, they have carefully observed before. Not to mention the forbidden creatures in the rain, not even a single footprint can be seen. It seems that all the forbidden creatures have a premonition of danger.
, fled back to the restricted area early.
And this is undoubtedly contrary to Cheng's conclusion - after all, if according to his theory, the entire world is a restricted area, then why do the creatures in the restricted area run?
There are all kinds of strange creatures in the restricted area, including zombies and weird things. Some of them even like to come out on rainy nights. It is impossible for all the creatures in the restricted area to take shelter from the rain.
Of course, not a single creature in the restricted area can be seen, which is a doubt in itself, but no one had imagined the reason behind it before.
The girl on the wall is not a demon, and everyone ignores it. They don't know why, and they wait quietly for Cheng to give an explanation.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and it seemed that it had no tendency to stop.
Acheng looked calm and said calmly: "As I just said, this heavy rain is a large restricted area created for some special beings - such as the one above us. Its rules are unique and it is difficult for ordinary restricted area creatures to adapt.
In other words, ordinary restricted area creatures are not qualified to move in heavy rain."
He Shang looked at the motionless ice crystal girl above his head. This guy was indeed very weird, but he didn't have the temperament to kill anyone on sight. He was definitely different from ordinary restricted area creatures...
He did not take action, but asked: "Do you know what the purpose of their appearance is?"
"I don't know." Acheng shook his head and said, "This is also a secret that cannot be pried into, but I have a guess..."
"What guess?"
Ah Cheng was silent for a moment and slowly uttered two words.
"hunting."
…
"hunting?"
In the office, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
The white-haired old man at the desk was making tea. Hearing this, he glanced at the white-haired boy hanging on the table and said, "Mo Leng, be more steady and don't make such a fuss!"
"I'm not making a fuss...but Sister Hongyu said that this heavy rain is a hunting ground, and many strong people will encounter misfortunes! Aren't you surprised, Mr. Huang?"
The boy named Mo Leng looked confused. He looked up at the heavy rain outside the window and said in a daze, "Huang Lao Huang Lao, can you let me out? I also want to be hunted..."
He is not tall. He looks to be in his early ten years at most and is no taller than a desk. However, he has white hair at a young age and a pair of big, clear eyes. He is lying on the table looking out the window curiously.
A small short leg was hanging in the air, swaying.
There was a rare look of helplessness on Mr. Huang's face, and he shook his head and said, "Of course not."
The tone was very serious.
Mo Leng suddenly became dissatisfied and said, "But I want to see if I am a strong person!"
You little douding is nothing but a strong man, you should grow up first!
Mr. Huang sighed in his heart, but he still had to admit that this boy was indeed one of the few S-class extraordinarys in the council.
It's just that unlike the famous Jian Wugui in the parliament, Mo Leng's information has always been very secretive. Even among the top officials in the parliament, few people know about the existence of this child.
"There is no need to go out of your way to prove that you are already strong." He said.
This is not to coax children. If those with S-level abilities are not considered strong, then I am afraid that only weaklings will be left in the world.
"No matter what you say, I want to go out and have a look!"
Seeing that Mo Leng was still unwilling to give up, Mr. Huang had no choice but to give Xue Hongyu a helpless look.
Xue Hongyu is usually obsessed with research and is not good at observing words and expressions. However, he quickly understood what Mr. Huang meant - he wanted to persuade this child who was clamoring to go out all day long.
She straightened her lab coat, walked to the white-haired boy, and said, "Mo Leng, I never said that only the strong will be hunted. It is clear that 'most of the people who are hunted are strong'
, the meanings of these two sentences are different.”
Even when facing children, she still maintains a rigorous attitude.
"I don't care, I have to go out and see and prove that I am strong!"
Mo Leng's big eyes were full of fighting spirit, and his two short legs kept fluttering in the air, but because he was too short, he couldn't reach the ground, and he didn't dare to let go and jump down directly, and his little face turned red from holding back.
Xue Hongyu picked him up and put him on the ground. He didn't laugh at him. He just touched his head and said softly: "Mr. Huang and I have to talk about something very important. You can't cause trouble, and you are already a leader in my mind."
The strongest person."
"Really...really?"
Mo Leng quickly hugged Xue Hongyu's thigh and asked expectantly, "Am I really so manly?"
Little guy, when did I say you are manly...
Xue Hongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but perhaps because her own childhood experience was not good, she was particularly fond of children, so she touched the other person's head again: "Well, you are very manly!"
After listening to Xue Hongyu's words, Mo Leng quickly raised his chest and raised his head, his face full of contentment, as if he was really a peerless strong man.
"Sister Hongyu has such a beautiful smile. If she could get her hair cut properly, she would be a great beauty!"
At this point, he rolled his eyes and changed his words, "No, Sister Hongyu is also a great beauty now!"
Xue Hongyu smiled slightly and didn't care. She was one of the rare girls who didn't care about her appearance.
Mr. Huang at the desk was helpless. Mo Leng was a big kid. He didn't care at all about his studies on weekdays. He did a lot of tricks to please girls. I said you are a strong man and you are too lazy to listen.
The red fish said that you are a strong person, but you are proud of it...
He didn't know what to say.
Xue Hongyu smiled and said softly: "Okay Mo Leng, a man must be very serious. I want to talk about business with Mr. Huang, so don't interrupt."
"Okay, don't interrupt!"
Mo Leng's face straightened, and he immediately stood in a military posture, looking at the wall in front of him intently, looking more and more like a little bean sprout.
The two of them ignored him. Huang Lao looked a little more serious and asked: "Red Fish, what is the specific situation?"
——All major urban areas have realized that there is a problem with today's heavy rain, and the parliament is certainly no exception. Xue Hongyu quickly analyzed the heavy rain and came to Mr. Huang to report it immediately. Who knew that he just met Mo
Leng wanders around the office.
Xue Hongyu went straight to the point: "This rain has exactly the same characteristics as the restricted area, so my initial belief is that it exists specifically for the expansion of the restricted area."
"Is the restricted area expanded..."
Mr. Huang tapped on the table, his expression as usual.
"Yes, but this should only be a short-term expansion. It will return to normal after the heavy rain ends. As for the short-lived rain in the afternoon... I think it should be a warning."
"Warning?"
The parliament naturally noticed the brief heavy rain in the afternoon. After all, it was a heavy rain that covered the entire safety zone. However, because it had no impact, no one paid attention to it at the time. Unexpectedly, Red Fish had already begun research at that time.
Already.
She always has a very keen sense of abnormality.
Xue Hongyu pondered for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "There is no definite evidence. I think it is probably the feeling that when the emperor arrives and everyone gets away, this heavy rain is specially prepared for the arrival of some special beings."
She rarely uses such an uncertain tone because the data is limited. The current conclusion is only based on the fact that no restricted area creatures appeared in tonight's heavy rain, combined with some clues.
——When high-ranking people begin to gather, the rest naturally hide as far away as possible, not even daring to let out a single fart.
Mr. Huang nodded slightly and said calmly: "So these special existences should be related to the hunting you just mentioned, right?"
"Yes."
Xue Hongyu said, "In addition to warning, the heavy rain in the afternoon also has a very important function, that is, to mark people who have been exposed to the rain——"
"I have tested it many times using more than 20 methods, and found that the rain contains a certain kind of special pheromone, which will disappear from most people's bodies when it comes into contact with it, and will only remain in a small number of people."
"According to incomplete statistics, there were a total of 637 people in the parliament who were exposed to the rain at that time. Only 23 of them had this kind of pheromone on their bodies. Twenty of them were A-level extraordinary people and one was a B-level person.
Gene warriors, two D-level extraordinary beings, the connection between them is unknown."
Xue Hongyu was a little regretful. Due to time constraints, she could only collect information in a hurry in the parliament city. If she could get more information in the city and analyze it comprehensively, she might be able to explore the reasons for the retention of pheromones and the criteria for selecting targets.
Already.
Mr. Huang had great trust in Xue Hongyu's abilities and didn't know what he was thinking. He said thoughtfully: "So these people marked by pheromones are the selected hunting targets."
"That's how it should be."
Xue Hongyu nodded and continued, "When it rained heavily tonight, three of the twenty-three people happened to be hit by the rain again and died soon. I heard that there were signs of fighting nearby."
Of course, the council also noticed that there was something wrong with the heavy rain, so they asked everyone to return to their residences as soon as possible at night to avoid being exposed to the rain. However, a few people were still accidentally exposed, including these three people.
Mr. Huang nodded. Of course he knew about this. Those three were all A-level transcendent beings, and two of them directly served the parliament. The parliament immediately launched an investigation, but due to the heavy rain, including surveillance
Most of his electronic equipment has lost its function, and the investigation is quite difficult. It will be difficult to find the murderer for a while.
Who knew that Xue Hongyu would directly throw the blame on the heavy rain at this moment? It seems that she has already made a judgment.
"You mean they died hunting?"
Xue Hongyu did not answer, but asked instead: "Mr. Huang, there must be a reason why you suddenly asked Mo Leng to come to your place, right?"
Mo Leng's ability is extremely terrifying, so he doesn't show up easily on weekdays. Only Mr. Huang can give him orders directly. Even if the child gets close to him, Xue Hongyu knows very well that he can talk normally, but he can't do anything about it.
Let the other person do anything.
And since this child appeared here, he was obviously recruited by Mr. Huang, which further confirmed Xue Hongyu's suspicion.
Even though his name was mentioned, Mo Leng still stood facing the wall with a military posture, as if he hadn't heard anything, like a little general, quite meticulous.
Mr. Huang glanced at the child, but he did not hide Xue Hongyu's intention. After all, the other party also knew Mo Leng's abilities. He said concisely: "Several monsters suddenly appeared in the city. For the sake of safety, I asked Mo Leng to be the first.
Time erases them."
Like Huangquan, the Parliament is not just a coordinating agency. It also has a city district where many residents are housed, and its security level is second to none.
Mr. Huang attaches great importance to the security of the city, and he heard that those monsters are quite powerful, appear suddenly, and their movements are erratic, so he chose to use Mo Leng before the situation becomes serious.
But at this moment, as if he suddenly realized something, he looked at Xue Hongyu with a solemn expression.
Could it be that...
Xue Hongyu pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "According to my conclusion, these monsters you mentioned appeared because of those marked extraordinary beings."
"The marked people become prey, and these monsters are the hunters..."
Huang Lao's eyes narrowed and he quickly understood what she meant.
"More than that, the characteristics of these hunters seem to be specially generated for hunting prey. Those with ice abilities face fire monsters, those with mental control abilities face unconscious monsters, and those with powerful genetic warriors face
They are physically more powerful monsters... This is a targeted restraint relationship, so they are easily killed!"
Mr. Huang believed in Xue Hongyu's judgment and his face became a little more solemn. He did not ask how the other party obtained the information, but fell into thinking.
Red Fish is a genius who studies restricted areas, and has very high authority. It is said that when it rained in the afternoon, he seemed to go to the prison and specially select some death row prisoners to go out to soak in the rain. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems that it was probably for experiments.
He said with some worry: "Use extraordinary people to cultivate stronger monsters, use the heavy rain to invade all parts of the world at will, and serve as the vanguard of the expansion of the restricted area. Is this the meaning of this heavy rain?"
If Xue Hongyu's inference is correct, I'm afraid many people will die in the safe zone after tonight, and they are all the top combat forces in the safe zone, which will definitely cause human beings to break their muscles and bones!
Could it be that... this is to target the effective forces in the safe zone?
The penalty area has become increasingly unstable recently, and even the S-level penalty area has a faint tendency to be breached. Is it true that the penalty area is really going to be fully expanded?
Mr. Huang had a headache - he still knew too little about the restricted area.
At this moment, Xue Hongyu thought about it for a moment and then said: "Mr. Huang, I don't think that's the case."
After all, Mr. Huang is the leader of the council and has too many things to worry about all day long. She feels it is necessary to explain it.
Xue Hongyu is still somewhat confident in his conclusion. Although there are some problems that are still unclear and difficult to explain because of too little data, the general direction should be correct - this heavy rain is indeed to build a hunting ground.
But she didn't think it was an attack from the penalty area, but instead thought it was an opportunity.
Because the relationship between prey and hunter has never been established in this hunt!
After listening to the other party's analysis, Mr. Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to understand something, but he was a little unsure: "You mean..."
Xue Hongyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked: "Mr. Huang, do you still remember how I summarized the relationship between the restricted area and human beings before?"
