The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

Chapter 151: Level 8 Weird "Characteristic: Misfortune"

The street lights on both sides of the road gradually became fewer and fewer, and the entire road was illuminated only by car lights. The eerie environment gave Shen Ge an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

However, half a year had passed since the car accident. Shen Ge couldn't remember whether the driver of the car had a "face" when he took a taxi. But when he got in the car this time, he made a special observation during the brief exchange with the driver. Standard The cherry blossom man has the appearance of a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and is about forty years old.

 But after getting in the car, when I looked at the driver through the rearview mirror, I found that he had no face and looked like a "dummy".

Fang Mingyue saw that the driver had only one piece of "skin" on his face, with no eyes, nose or mouth. It was like a whole piece of skin was covering his head. He looked extremely scary.

“Tan Shen, we have been pulled into a strange space.” Fang Mingyue whispered.

Shen Ge said calmly: "No rush, I just want to come in and see if the trick car has 'evolved' and what is the difference from the original trick car."

 After all, according to the regular operation of the Twelve Branches, the weirdness released each time will be more or less different than before.

"It's 140 yards. At this speed... no matter what we hit, the car will be destroyed and people will be killed. Should we make some preparations?" Fang Mingyue said with a worried look.

She did not doubt whether Shen Ge had the ability to protect himself. She was just worried that if something happened soon, it would hold Shen Ge back for her own reasons.

After Fang Mingyue left, Shen Ge threw the parasite strangely on the ground, took out a butcher knife, chopped its head into pieces, killed it and sold it to the system.

Fang Mingyue was stunned for a moment. Shen Ge had already put his arm around her shoulders. Then Fang Mingyue felt a tightening on her shoulders, as if she was being squeezed hard.

Shen Ge obviously didn't expect that his unintentional operation would increase his prestige with someone. After solving the trick car, he opened the trick space and asked Fang Mingyue to go back to the car and wait while he went to the gas station to get gas.

He wanted to know if the system swallowed up "misfortune", would it be effective on himself or the enemy? What would happen to him would be to turn himself into a "bad ball", which natural disaster would happen?

  If it is effective against an enemy, it can make people unlucky, which is also an interesting feature.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this impossible? Xiao Cheng and I were on the same flight, and we talked a few words on the way, but I didn't see anything wrong with him. Or should I say that he arrived at Sakura? I was just being targeted by people from the Twelve Branches."

Shen Ge thought that the points gained from Tuokou's strange disaster this time could even exceed the total of the previous three strange disasters. After all, it was most likely the eighth-level strangeness in the [Log] that swallowed Tuokou in one gulp, and it was also the highest level of strangeness known so far. , and the concept characteristic of "unfortunate" is also worthy of this level.

“Tan Shen!” Fang Mingyue saw a lighthouse appearing out of thin air in the middle of the road directly in front of him, and the car was hitting the lighthouse at an extremely fast speed.

Shen Ge is really curious about this characteristic "misfortune", otherwise he would not proactively apply to go to Tuokou City for support.

"Yeah, I'm also very surprised about this. Logically speaking, if we get rid of Sakura's support team, they will report it immediately, but judging from Xiao Cheng's reaction, it seems that he doesn't know about it. He thought we had already I was taken to the base by Sakura's response team, but I just didn't join them." Fang Mingyue frowned, obviously not understanding what the problem was.

After meeting, the two continued driving towards Tuokou City.

“Hey, brother, squeeze in.” Fang Mingyue was still worried about how to escape from danger, but Shen Ge had already squeezed into the cab.

And Shen Ge went to get gasoline when Xiao Cheng contacted her. Without Shen Ge's permission, Fang Mingyue would naturally not expose the whereabouts of the two of them.

"Detective Shen, Xiao Cheng, the acting captain of the support team, contacted me just now and asked about our location. I excused myself by saying that I was delayed at the airport for some time." Fang Mingyue knew that Shen Ge was used to acting alone, so she was willing to take her with her this time. The drag oil bottle is already a great surprise.

Fang Mingyue was still immersed in the surprise of how she got out of the out-of-control car in an instant. When she heard the conversation between Shen Ge and Xiao Qi, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "As expected of Shen Tan, he got into danger just to help. The Ministry has more information, so generous and admirable!"

Fang Mingyue was about to say that Shen Ge was a "foreseeer," but she knew in advance that there was something wrong with these soldiers, so she deliberately avoided them, but she heard Shen Ge say, "Not necessarily, it's also possible that Xiao Cheng has been replaced."

But after Shen Ge's maneuvers, the car still showed no tendency to slow down. On the contrary, the speed had already reached 200 yards, and it could take off with the addition of a wing.

 Two minutes later, Xiaoqi said: "Report to the owner, the coincidence rate of this strange parasite is 79.3% with the data in the "Strange Car" report, and it is confirmed that it is the same type of strange parasite."

“Okay, Master.” Xiao Qi controlled the armor on Shen Ge’s wrist to extend two carrion tentacles to wrap around the parasite strangely, and began to extract data related to the strangeness.

Shen Ge glanced at Fang Mingyue's fair neck. The other party noticed his gaze and subconsciously pulled down the collar: "Tan Shen, I must not have been replaced!"

“…” Shen Ge really wanted to say that you don’t have to pull your neckline so low to reveal everything. What's more, if the twelve detachments really want to replace the counter-terrorism agents of the Special Strategy Department, they will definitely not choose a Paramecium like you.

Fang Mingyue let out a long sigh in her heart. She probably didn't need to think about how to extract the parasite's weird information. The 200-mph trick car alone would have already blocked her out!

Fang Mingyue looked at the tree shadows flying behind her outside the window. They were like ghosts waving to her. She felt that it was not so easy to stop the car now.

"Tsk, tsk, if you go faster, you can film "Fast and Furious 12: Rise to the Sky."" Shen Ge joked, the car speed had soared to 160.

 Awakening the field again and opening a "unlucky area", I don't know if it can be used for lottery draws to stage a wave of "negatives make positives".

Shen Ge currently has 3152 system points saved, and there are still 7 F-level supplies that have not been extracted. The reason why they have not been extracted is because there are still 3 spirit apples, 6 internal injury healing pills, and the remaining bandages, band-aids, etc. are left. Two of them were obtained, not counting the recovery items left for Cheng Shengnan.

Shen Ge asked: "Well done. However, the people sent by Sakura to pick us up didn't tell them about our situation?"

 “Transmit the data back to the branch.” Shen Ge said.

As soon as her eyes blurred, she and Shen Ge were already standing on the side of the road, and Shen Ge still had the struggling parasite in his hand.

Then he took out a black bone dagger and stabbed the driver of the trick car in the face, slitting his mouth open. Sure enough, the next second a ghostly face like a soul opened its **** mouth and bit him.

“Xiaoqi, please extract the report of "The Strange Car" and compare the data with the strangeness of this parasite." Shen Ge ordered.

"140? In terms of speed, there has indeed been progress..." Shen Ge glanced at the speed on the dashboard heading towards 150. Thinking back to the previous trick car, the fastest speed seemed to be only 130?

After Shen Ge's reminder, Fang Mingyue immediately realized something was wrong: "Detective Shen, you mean... there are spies from the Twelve Branch in Yinghua? Those soldiers who are joining us are probably from the Twelve Branch?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

 What if you were yourself?

well.

Although the paramecium has pretty good combat power, it can be said to be useless except for its combat power. For Shen Ge, the only advantage is that it is "obedient". If not, he would not choose to bring Fang Mingyue with him to facilitate his entry into Tuokou City. cover the action.

Shen Ge said: "As for the 'replacement' ability of the twelve branches, we are currently in the exploratory stage. We want to find out whether this replacement ability is 'permanent', 'unlimited', or whether it has obvious flaws. After all, if it really has no flaws, , then it is possible that all the top management of our Special Policy Department will be replaced. If there is a flaw, then finding this 'flaw' is the key to identifying the person to be replaced."

If you hit it at the current speed, it will turn into a discus in an instant!

Shen Ge dragged Parasite Weiwei back to the back seat, raised his hand and pulled the door, which was locked: "Don't move, I'll take you out of the car."

Shen Ge grabbed the other person's neck with his hand that was wearing a cunning glove and pulled hard, trying to "pull" it out of the open **** mouth.

After pulling out the parasitic monster in the car, Shen Ge put away the black bone dagger and used the revolver to shoot the **** mouth several times, directly punching through the body of the car driver.

Shen Ge used the jumping power of his sneaky boots to quickly go to a gas station two kilometers away, picked up two barrels of gasoline and went back to meet Fang Mingyue.

"You know that people from the Twelve Branches have the ability to swallow the target's head and then change into the target's appearance, right?" Shen Ge asked.

Shen Ge said that he told Fang Mingyue the characteristics and circumstances of the several replaced personnel they caught during the twelve previous attacks on the Rong City branch. In fact, Fang Mingyue had also read this report, and Mr. Fang was from the headquarters. The leader of the action team mainly responsible for investigating "traitors".

After speaking, Shen Ge reminded again: "However, even a short-term 'replacement' is very troublesome, especially in the disaster operation. This short-term contact and cooperation is equivalent to erasing the flaws. Therefore, after entering Tuokou City, don’t trust anyone easily.”

“Understood.” Fang Mingyue nodded seriously.

 …

 …

In the early morning, Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue drove outside the blockade in Tuokou City. Looking at the Sakura Self-Defense Forces stationed around them, Shen Ge asked Xiao Qi to scan for nearby ghosts, find a few parasites, and lead them there. The blockade attracted the attention of the Self-Defense Forces, and then they and Fang Mingyue destroyed the camera and climbed over the wall.

 Shen Ge entered the blocked area without anyone noticing, in order to "take away" the attribute "misfortune" without anyone noticing.

 With the systematic devouring ability in hand, as long as you obtain "misfortune", if you can use it against the enemy, you will have something to say when facing high-level weirdness in the future!

【warn! warn! warn! 】

[The host appears in the realm of level 8 weirdness. There are a large number of new weirdnesses affected by level 8 weirdness in this area. With the current strength of the host, there is absolutely no way it can be an opponent of these weirdnesses! Host, please cherish your life and escape from the weird Tuokou City as soon as possible! 】

Yo Xi!

 It’s a familiar taste!

Shen Ge hadn’t heard the rapid “warning” sound from the system for a long time. Even the moment the warning sound sounded, a warning red light appeared in front of his eyes.

If he had not reached level 3 and turned off the "newbie baby" early warning mode, he would have been blinded by the red warning again.

 The city was shrouded in thick fog in the early morning. A few figures could be seen vaguely in the fog, but they were parasites wandering aimlessly in the fog.

However, as soon as I stepped into Tuokou City, I received an early warning of entering the "uncanny territory". This shows how terrifying the "misfortune" that caused the uncanny disaster in Tuokou City was!

Shen Ge was not surprised at all that the system gave an "unfortunate" level 8 judgment, because according to the timeline in the [Log], Tuokou City had an eighth-level weirdness in 2027, which led to the exposure of the weirdness.

 It will be level 8 after three years, so it is normal to judge that it is level 8 based on the 4-year time difference of the system. What needs to be confirmed now is, what is the true level of "unfortunateness"?

Weirdness level 6 and above can convert all kinds of energy, including nuclear energy, into weird energy. If "unfortunately" is already level 6 or above, then Shen Ge thinks the best choice is to return home quickly and let the international anti-terrorist organization do a few rounds. The nuclear bomb washed the ground, avoided Kaikou City, and directly destroyed the cherry blossoms.

Shen Ge has always believed that if the weirdness reaches level 6 or above, it will no longer be easy to deal with alone!

 Even after reading the contents of [the diary] during this period, he had a suspicion in his mind—

If it were not for activating the system in advance, the ability to "devour" the characteristic would be obtained. Then according to the timeline in [Log], "silent", "immobile", "invisible", and "not coming out" will all evolve into irreparable disasters!

This is also the "future" in the [Diary]. Why will it come to an end in 2027? The future self, combined with the power of the entire Special Strategy Department, has no way to deal with the "invisible" level 7, and has been pulling it for several months. There was no progress, but the special policy department was seriously damaged.

Fang Mingyue carried out a scan with the treacherous energy detector and said: "Detective Shen, according to the information given by Sakura, the center of this treacherous disaster is in Toe City. It is about 15 kilometers from here, passing by Tuokou Tower, and from there It starts with the severely affected areas.”

“Okay, let’s get a car first,” Shen Ge said.

The two of them avoided the parasitized people wandering on the road and walked through the neighborhood, trying to find a still drivable car among the cars on the street.

From the crowded roads and the deformed vehicles that collided with each other, it can be seen that the disaster here should be similar to that in Dajing, and it happened suddenly.

As a result, people here panicked and caused a series of accidents. Many citizens died directly in car accidents. However, the car windows were smashed open, and most of the bodies were eaten by strange and parasitic creatures.

  Walking further and crossing the road, Shen Ge received another urgent warning from the system. 【warn! warn! warn! 】

[The current road surface has been severely polluted, and there will be unpredictable dangers. If detected by level 8 weirdness and affected by the weird field, the current area may become a swamp, lava zone, quicksand area, etc. due to the weird characteristics. Please host. Leave this area quickly! 】

Shen Ge ignored it and walked straight across the road with Fang Mingyue.

  【Congratulations to the host for safely passing through an area heavily polluted by level 8 weirdness. He is agile and courageous. Reward system points x20. 】

 A reminder of a long-lost awkward moment, a long-lost reward for crossing the road.

Just when Shen Ge missed "crossing the road" with such passion, the ground suddenly shook, followed by a loud "bang" and collapsed.

 Fortunately, Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue, as experienced combat agents, have long developed the habit of always being vigilant when facing monsters with strange and changeable abilities.

At the moment when the ground collapsed, Shen Ge reached out with his left hand toward the eaves above, stretched out his carrion tentacles, and turned into a **** mouth to bite the eaves. The armor acted as a "grappling hook gun", and at the same time, he grabbed Fang Mingyue with his right hand.

Fang Mingyue's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Shen Ge's. She took out her grappling gun and fired at the eaves, while at the same time reaching out to grab Shen Ge.

The two grabbed each other at the same time, obviously stunned, and then quickly flew to the roof. However, the collapse of the sinkhole on the ground did not stop, and the shops facing the street also collapsed.

 Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue could only keep running forward on the rooftop. After running for more than 20 meters, the collapse stopped.

The two of them walked to the wall of the shop that collapsed on the **** and looked down. There seemed to be a subway below. Tuokou City, as the first city in Asia to open a subway line, obviously cannot have such a "scumbag" project. What's more, it happens to be just after the system warning, so it is difficult not to think of the "unfortunate" characteristic.

Shen Ge looked up at the gloomy sky and said slowly, "This characteristic is a bit interesting."

"Huh? What?" Fang Mingyue squatted on the edge of the collapse to observe the situation below. At the same time, she was still detecting it with a special energy detector. She couldn't hear what Shen Ge was saying for a while.

Shen Ge said: "From now on, put aside all your 'common sense' and 'habits', and it is best to stay alert at all times, because not only will pies fall from the sky, but also flower pots will fall."

Fang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered the report about the strange disaster in Tuokou City that she had seen at the meeting before departure. Those incredible "accidents" were thought to be the result of strange things.

"Understood, I will stay vigilant at all times!" Fang Mingyue said seriously.

"Let's go..." Before Shen Ge said the word "ba", the system's urgent reminder sounded in his mind, and the red warning light flashed in front of his eyes again.

【warn! warn! warn! 】

  【The host has entered an area highly contaminated by level 8 weirdness. There are a large number of low level weirdnesses wandering around in this area, looking for life forms to devour! Several of them are high-level weirdos that can detect the presence of the host through their keen sense of smell, and the host is currently locked! Host, please cherish your life and escape quickly! 】

As soon as the notification tone ended, Shen Ge looked around. The parasitized people were still walking aimlessly on the surrounding streets, and no strange traces were seen.

"System, conduct area scan." After Shen Ge reached level 3, the system's early warning system became much more accurate, and it was obvious that it would not target without reason.

This series of early warnings means that something strange outside the field of vision is likely to be targeting them.

【warn! The host has entered multiple strange spaces and is now scanning the strange spaces. 】

  【Scanning——】

 【The current area is covered by the "Level 8 Weird (Characteristic: Unfortunate strange space, and the number of multiple strange space layers in the area is: x (unable to detect)]

  【Now mark the weirdness in the current area—】

At the same time as the system prompt sounded, a "radar" with a radius of one kilometer centered on him and Fang Mingyue appeared in front of Shen Ge.

However, this radar map is completely negligible. It's not that the markings are inaccurate, but that there are so many weird and parasitized people that the entire map has been dyed red.

  “…” What is the difference between this and not scanning?

Shen Ge wanted to complain, but then he thought... No, there were only a few dozen monsters visible to the naked eye in the surrounding streets, far from the densely packed ones on the map. Where had all those monsters gone?

 Underground!

Shen Ge suddenly thought of the area that had just collapsed. There was a subway station below, and a subway could be vaguely buried under the sinkhole. In other words, there were probably many parasites in the subway.

“System, can it turn the map into a three-dimensional one to show the situation underground?” Shen Ge asked in his mind.

  【Now start scanning again—】

 As the system recovers, the map gradually changes, showing the underground situation in a three-dimensional way. As Shen Ge had guessed, there were thousands of parasites trapped underground alone.

  【A new crisis mission has been detected in the current mysterious realm—】

 【Crisis Mission 1: You are currently in a strange realm created by level 8 weirdness (Characteristic: Misfortune). A large number of low-level weirdnesses are wandering here due to the influence of level 8 weirdness, which is very dangerous! Please find the eighth-level weird "Characteristic: Misfortune" in the shortest possible time and kill it. 】

  【Limited time: 15 days. 】

  【Rewards: Characteristic enhancement points x3, system points x5000, random f-level supplies x10, random e-level supplies x3, random d-level supplies x1. 】

"Um?"

 What is going on?

With such rich rewards, it is difficult for Shen Ge not to doubt the "motivation" of the system. This guy wants to use the rewards to encourage him to kill "misfortune" within 15 days. Does he really want to take a bite?

[Crisis Mission 2: You are currently in a strange realm created by level 8 weirdness (characteristic: misfortune). There are a large number of high-level weirdnesses wandering here affected by level 8 weirdness. Please find at least one non-"characteristic" within 15 days. :Unfortunately" killed and chose to devour. 】

  【Limited time: 15 days. 】

  【Reward: Characteristic enhancement point x1, system point x1000, random e-level supplies x1. 】

 “Good guy!” Shen Ge didn’t expect that after Crisis Mission 1 with rich rewards, there would be another mission with weird hunting characteristics.

From this mission, it can be seen that more than one person in Tuokou City has weird characteristics, and the system seems to be eager to devour the "characteristics".

 This...why?

 Is it because I have detected the power of "misfortune" and really feel that it is impossible for me to defeat "misfortune", so I first issue a task for me to level up?

Fang Mingyue saw that Shen Ge had been standing there "in a daze" since just now, and couldn't help but ask: "Tan Shen, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go." Shen Ge asked Fang Mingyue to follow him. Since the system was worried that he was not an "unfortunate" opponent, it would first find out other weird characteristics.

Even if there are strange existences underground, Shen Ge does not intend to go down there. After all, it may collapse at any time due to "unfortunate" effects. It is better to avoid this hidden danger as much as possible.

 …

 …

At the same time, at the Self-Defense Forces Base in Sakigawa City, counter-terrorism agents from various countries who came to support them had gathered, and there were actually hundreds of them.

As the temporary leader of the Great Celestial Dynasty Support Team, Xiao Cheng is not very old, but he is one of the first batch of elite counter-terrorism agents in the Special Strategy Department.

Have cooperated with Deng Yuqi before, and this time she was "hand-picked" by the headquarters to serve as the deputy captain.

As for why the deputy captain replaced the captain as the temporary leader of the support team, the reason is also very simple, because a certain captain "lost contact" as soon as he got off the plane.

An elite anti-deception agent who was about forty years old and was the same as Xiao Cheng in the Dianzhou branch. He walked up to Xiao Cheng and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, is there any news about Detective Shen?"

Although this man is two years younger than Xiao Cheng in qualifications, he worked in the Dianzhou branch a few years before him, and Xiao Cheng was transferred here later. In addition, he is quite popular in the Dianzhou branch, and everyone in the department It is customary to call him "Brother Li", so Xiao Cheng is not dissatisfied with the title of Brother Li just because he is now the team leader.

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "Not yet. Brother Li, haven't you worked with Detective Shen before? What is he like?"

Brother Li sighed: "Well, it's said to be cooperation. In fact, in the Yuzhou incident, except for some equipment, our Dianzhou branch did not send agents into the strange space at all. When Detective Shen returned to the temporary headquarters after solving the strange incident, We met face to face, but didn’t have much contact.”

“So the rumors within the department are true. It was Detective Shen who solved the strange incident in Yuzhou alone?” Xiao Cheng said slightly surprised.

Brother Li said: "Not necessarily. After all, Mr. He was also in the strange space at the beginning. According to what the headquarters said, Mr. He also contributed a lot."

Xiao Cheng was originally from the headquarters, and was later transferred to the Dianzhou branch to provide support. This support lasted for several years, but he had a deep impression of Mr. He.

Although I have always been skeptical about Shen Ge's independent solution to the high-level strange incident in Yuzhou, the fact that he was appointed as the captain by the headquarters this time is enough to show that Shen Ge is still very capable.

Xiao Cheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Shen Ge, but he didn't expect that the other person would "disappear" as soon as he got off the plane. Although Fang Mingyue, who disappeared with him, connected to the communicator, she didn't even wait for him to ask a few questions. There is obviously something wrong with hanging up the communication in a hurry!

Just when Xiao Cheng was still considering whether to contact Fang Mingyue again, a female agent with short hair, about forty years old and still attractive, walked up to him.

The female agent's name is Luo Jing. She is an elite counter-terrorism agent sent by the headquarters and one of the only two female agents among the support staff.

She also has another identity, that is, she is Deng Yuqi's close friend. This time she is one of the people Deng Yuqi invited to provide cover for Ti Chenge.

“Team Leader Xiao, are you worried about Tan Shen and Tan Fang?” Luo Jing asked.

Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, although I was prevaricated when I checked the list just now, I am here for support after all. If this is found out and labeled as a 'spy', it will not be good."

Luo Jing smiled and did not answer Xiao Cheng's question. Instead, he asked: "Team Leader Xiao, haven't you discovered that we have seven counter-terrorism agents on standby right now?"

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the several agents who were communicating with each other. The number of people supporting this time was seven.

 But these "seven people" include Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue.

"Don't worry, we are not the only ones who have tampered with the number of people. As far as I know, the number of people declared by Beautiful Country this time is five, but look at the number of people gathered there? Everyone knows this situation. You understand, this is also why there is a disaster in Dajing, and the superiors will ask us to solve the disaster at all costs before support from other countries comes in." Luo Jing said.

"But..." Xiao Cheng was still a little confused.

At this moment, an elite counter-terrorist agent from the Sakura Kingdom came over and said to several people in proficient Chinese: "Everyone from the Great Celestial Dynasty, thank you for coming to support! I am the Sakura counter-terrorist agent who is docking with you. Agent, you can call me 'Natsumi', I'm glad to cooperate with you!"
