Soul echo

Chapter 603 Monster ([-])

"...this plague is man-made."

After integrating all the information, Zhong Ye was finally able to confirm his previous guess.

As early as when he first entered Bianliang, he had a premonition.

Those spiky ball monsters would not appear out of thin air. Before this plague, there was no similar species in the world of Dan-which could not only parasitize, but also release psionic energy, blurring the perception of all people who came into contact with relevant information.

Zhong Ye already understood why he and Delilah were not affected, because they were immune to psionic energy to a certain extent.

It's just that until now, Zhong Ye still doesn't quite understand why players like Lilian are also affected.

They are obviously under the protection of the system, and their souls are not in this world. What appears here is just the projection of their souls, and their consciousness should not be affected.

The gods should not ask them to ignore the plague in Bianliang in order to play their game roles well. Therefore, the reason why Zhong Ye and the others failed to see the information they just got today on the game forum is because the player's consciousness is too low. affected.

But the problem is, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened!
"Someone put the pathogen of the plague in the Changuang Pavilion, making you infected with the plague. It is also because someone is secretly manipulating all this that the plague did not flow out of Bianliang."

As for why the black hand behind the scenes did this, the explanation is too simple.

If a martial arts master like Zhong Ye can't solve this plague, can't he also solve the person who caused the plague?

The news about Bianliang was closed and failed to spread to the outside world. Even if there are people in the outside world who are as resistant to memetic viruses as Zhong Ye and the others know about this news, they will not have an in-depth understanding and will only hide away.

Only Zhong Ye, who is capable, thoughtful, and likes to fight against injustices and be kind, will approach Bianliang, understand what happened in Bianliang, and then help him.

It was an accident that Zhong Ye appeared in Bianliang. Normally, there would be no martial arts masters or land gods who thought they could help in the plague and came to help.

"I still don't quite understand why the black hand behind the scenes spread the plague and kept the plague-infected people in Bianliang."

After speaking, Zhong Ye looked at Dai Lila, "Dai Lila, what do you think?"

"I do not know either."

Delilah shook her head first, and then put forward her own opinion: "However, those parasites have no external perception ability, and from the physical condition of these people, it can be seen that the growth of that monster has reached the final stage, breaking out of the body Obviously it is impossible, if there is no accident, the next step for that kind of monster should be to access the nervous system of the infected person."

Prior to this, the thorn ball monster had already connected to the physiological system of the infected person, and if it was connected to the nervous system, it could control the entire body.

Dai Lila's words reminded Zhong Ye of several posts he saw on the game forum before. Those players who were infected with the plague said that after being infected with the plague, their attributes began to rise sharply, and then they entered into overeating. state of gradual obesity.

If the nutrients can be replenished, their physical fitness may be restored to their previous state. In this way, if the mastermind behind the scenes can control them, they can get a legion.

But, that's all!

This legion can't resist legends, or even superhumans. Even if it can be organized, it can only usher in the fate of being wiped out.

Zhong Ye couldn't understand why the mastermind behind the scenes did this?
"Perhaps, like I said before, this is a sacrifice." Delilah reminded.

That's right, what if this was a sacrifice to the God of Plague or the Father of Harvest?
The black hand behind the scenes created this plague, how much blessing can be obtained from it?

"This is more than one fish..." Zhong Ye sighed.

The man behind the scenes leading this plague should still be hiding in Bianliang, and only in this way can he control the changes of the epidemic in real time.

That being the case, how should they find the black hand behind the scenes?

At this time, Lilian interjected: "Since the man behind the scenes chose to release pathogens in Toad Light Pavilion, does that mean that he is at least someone who can get in touch with Toad Light Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye turned to look at Qing Lai.

He didn't know the operation method of Changuang Pavilion, and he didn't know who would be received here, but Qinglai definitely knew it.

Qing Lai, who was quietly sizing up Zhong Ye, trembled, her lips pursed, her fingers secretly squeezed the spoon tightly, and her movements slowed down.

"Girl, can you tell us who are the people who usually come here to have fun?"

After a moment of silence, Qing Lai said bitterly: "In addition to the officials, there are also people from various families inside and outside the city, some literati, and a few heroes."

From this point of view, the consumption level of Changuang Pavilion should be quite high.

So, is it a coincidence that the plague paralyzed the entire leadership and civil servants in Bianliang from the very beginning?Or is it premeditated by the mastermind behind the scenes?

All three of Zhong Ye and the others fell into deep thought. At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Could it be...one of us?"

Zhong Ye was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look around, trying to relax his movements as much as possible.

The woman who spoke before noticed Zhong Ye's gaze, secretly pleased, swallowed, and said: "I read in those novels, many of the people who poisoned were people around the victim, so I guessed, Was it our own members of Changuang Pavilion who did this?"

Changuang Pavilion is a brothel. According to the city guard, most of the women here are good at singing and dancing. Apart from the brothels themselves, there are also many relatives of fallen officials.

So they have reason to be cynical.

Moreover, there are not only prostitutes in Changuang Pavilion, but also nursing homes, servants, and management personnel. Some prostitutes with a little money and fame are served by maids.

All of them add up to hundreds of people. The women in front of Zhong Ye and the others are just here to discuss how to commit suicide, and they are far from all the prostitutes in Changuang Pavilion.

What the woman said was not unreasonable, the people in the Changuang Pavilion were not without suspicion, on the contrary they were very suspicious.

——Those officials and children from aristocratic families who often come to Changuang Pavilion to have fun, might be the chief culprits who caused the ruin and death of those daughters who fell into Changuang Pavilion.

Now the influence of the abyss spreads all over the world. If a person falls into despair, he can easily come into contact with the power of the abyss and become a believer in the abyss.

Zhong Ye tapped the table with his index finger, waking up from his contemplation.

"I need to investigate everyone in Changuang Pavilion."

With that said, Zhong Ye stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to the many women present, "Please help me, ladies!"

His actions startled all the women present, and they hurriedly stood up.

"Adults don't have to do this big gift!"

"You are also here to save us, why do you need to salute?"

"My lord, please, it doesn't have to be like this!"

Obviously it was Zhong Ye who saluted them, but they were even more nervous and anxious than Zhong Ye.

After Zhong Ye straightened up, Dai Lila teased in a low voice beside her: "Mr. Zhong, it's good to be good-looking. Look at them, everyone is so nervous about you."

Zhong Ye glanced at her, noncommittal, then looked at Lilian, "Separate up?"

Lilian's body shook, and she stammered and asked, "Huh? I, I... can I?"

Zhong Ye nodded, and said: "You have been with me for so long, and you have learned a lot. It's time for you to take action and verify what you have learned."

Hearing this sentence, Lilian's ears turned red with excitement.

She finally got Zhong Ye's affirmation. Next, she must give full play - not only must she be affirmed, but she must also be praised!

"Hmph, teacher, just watch!"

The corner of Lilian's mouth curled up, and she ran towards the women, and found a person among them who was willing to be her guide.

When Lilian's back disappeared into the distance, Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at Dai Lila.

"Have you brought enough equipment? If you haven't brought enough, I still have it here."

Dai Lila stretched out a hand to Zhong Ye, smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Ye took out a revolver and thirty rounds of bullets from the bracelet, and put them in her hand, "If you encounter danger, shoot, and I will arrive before you finish firing the bullets."

Dai Lila whistled, waved to Zhong Ye, turned and walked towards the women, found a guide, and then left the pavilion.

"My lord, let me take you there!"

More than half of the women present spoke hastily, and then they fell silent and looked at the others who spoke.
