Alien Hotel

Of course Yu Sheng knew there would be rewards - whether it was providing intelligence, assisting in operations, or directly "contracting" certain projects or handing over extraordinary items, the Secret Service would provide rewards to spirit world detectives and investigators according to a certain amount, and this was also One of the most important and stable sources of income for "folk specialties" like Little Red Riding Hood.

He just didn't expect that the Secret Service would send the money directly like this, and the reward was higher than he thought.

Obviously, this extra high remuneration is linked to the danger level of the "Angel Cultist".

Yu Sheng recalled Little Red Riding Hood's reminder to him when he was leaving, and at the same time he became more deeply aware of the special nature of those so-called "angel believers" in the eyes of the Secret Service.

Song Cheng nodded slightly after Yu Sheng took the envelope and said casually: "Under normal circumstances, the reward will be directly transferred to your account through the "Border Communication" platform, but since this is the first time between us, Cooperation, I think it is better to have a sense of ritual - of course, more importantly, I want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the "Obscure Angel" and the "Angel Sect". After all, few detectives and investigators in the spiritual world will In the first action, he got involved with those crazy angel believers. "

Yu Sheng adjusted his sitting posture and showed a serious attitude: "I have seen that 'angel' in the night valley before. To be honest, it is quite different from the 'angel' I imagined."———— ""

Song Cheng's voice was low: "But you can feel its huge presence, the 'overlook' that seems to be higher than the current dimension, and the 'holiness' behind its weird shape." Right? ?”

"Saintness -" Yu Sheng recalled his feeling when he saw the giant eye in the sky, and seemed to vaguely understand what Song Cheng meant, "If you are talking about the kind of indifferent atmosphere that goes beyond reason, then it would be It's true, that evil thing is very scary, but when it hangs high in the sky, it sometimes gives people a sense of evil 'sacred'."

"That's how the word 'angel' comes from," Song Cheng nodded. "The first investigator who came into contact with the Dark Angels wrote the first witness report about them before falling into madness. On the verge of madness, In the fear, the recorder described his feelings like this: "He looked down, as if from a higher, transcendent place, filled with crazy thoughts. My mind - that is a messenger, a messenger that represents a larger and more majestic force. I seem to hear him talking to me, incomprehensible sentences, conveying something beyond human understanding. Will——In the most extreme and pure thought, I see a dark future, in which all things are annihilated, and they rise into the sky————.”

Song Cheng said this in a low and slow tone, then took out a thick stack of information from the briefcase on the side, pulled out one of the documents, and placed it in front of Yu Sheng.

"This is the investigator who left this witness report, we call him Contact Zero, and this is what he looks like now."

Yu Sheng curiously took the picture and took a look, but he only saw a strange and twisted "tree" standing alone in the pure white hall.

The tree is rooted in a huge culture tank. All the roots and branches appear to be clumps, twists, and entanglements like hair. The whole body vaguely reveals a struggling, rickety outline of a human being, with a dark crown. There were more "vines" of suspicious color hanging down from the tree. After Yu Sheng carefully distinguished them for a long time, he realized that the vines hanging down from the crown of the tree were actually weird and swollen blood vessels.

"He is now being held in a high-security 'warehouse' of the Secret Service. We need to prune the new branches growing out of the tree crown every three days to prevent him from suddenly losing control," Song Cheng's voice came to Yu Sheng's ears "He didn't become like this all at once. In fact, the entire transformation process lasted for ten years. It was a very terrifying process. During those ten years, Contact Zero would occasionally wake up from the madness." , and then fell into madness again in great panic. "

Irene raised her head and glanced at the information in Yu Sheng's hand. Listening to Song Cheng's description, she couldn't help but shrink her neck and muttered: "It looks like I might as well be dead———— If I were you, I would just give them a pleasure, wouldn’t it be torture?”

"Yes, so we have done this," Song Cheng said calmly. "After Contact Zero woke up for the last time and begged the supervisor, we carried out an 'execution' on him. We were sure to kill him.

At least it killed his painful soul, but his body still survived the severe injuries-----After careful discussion, the Secret Service decided to keep this body as an important sample for studying the influence of angels. "

Yu Sheng frowned, and after a while he spoke: "It turned out like this just by looking at it? Then we also saw the giant eye at that time, so why didn't it seem to have any sequelae?"

"First, just a short-term witnessing will not leave an irreversible impact, and 'Contactee Zero' was trapped next to the First Angel at the time. He had been in contact with that thing for too long," Song Cheng Slowly said, "Second, the 'characteristics' of each Dark Angel are different, and some have unique They are equipped with powerful mental pollution, some are directly destructive, and some even seem to be harmless, at least the giant eyes you see have not shown any direct aggression. , should belong to the inert species with relatively weak "offensive" nature. "

"Are there many dark angels?" Yu Sheng raised his head curiously.

"The number that has been confirmed so far has reached double digits," Song Cheng said, handing over another piece of information, "This is the "First Angel". It is what Contact Zero witnessed, and it is also currently recognized The first dark angel to invade our world."

This time, even the fox, who had been carefully combing his tail beside him, couldn't help but come over and read the contents of the information with Yu Sheng and Irene.

"The first angel is also called the 'Tree Angel', or the 'Upside Down Tree'," Song Chengze said unhurriedly from the side. "When it 'arrived', it looked like a huge tree hanging upside down in the sky. Plants with a crown width of nearly a kilometer and the same height Nearly a kilometer wide, it grows from a vortex structure hanging high in the sky - this vortex will be generated in advance 24 to 72 hours before its "arrival". This is also the reason for identifying the "Tree Angel'" and conducting An important reference for early warning.”

Yu Sheng looked steadily at the huge upside-down tree shown in the information picture and the large urban buildings in the background. At the bottom of the picture, he saw a further description of this "dark angel":

".——-It will not actively move or attack, but will continue to release strong mental interference. Witnesses will uncontrollably look up at its canopy and hear huge and chaotic sounds until their minds are completely occupied. ,

He even thinks that he is also a "tree". In some contact reports, surviving witnesses described seeing a "forest" with themselves as saplings nestled around the "mother tree" -·

"Currently there is no effective way to resist this "impulse to gaze". No matter how mentally strong a person is, they cannot control themselves to divert their gaze after the arrival of the tree angel. This effect is similar to the influence of the 'Beauty God' and the 'Silent Sun' -----The most effective protection methods known at this stage are active blinding, deep hypnosis and drinking the 'snake venom wine' of the Desert Royal Court in advance. The main idea is to forcibly block vision or suppress mental activities..."

"The Tree Angel first appeared in the sky above the 'City of Silence' in the foreign land," Song Cheng said from the side. "It led to the activation of the entire foreign land. Several investigation teams and scholar teams were active in the foreign land at that time. Almost all were killed, and only "Contactee Zero" survived. The last time it appeared was three years ago, over a distant alien planet, directly invading the real world. Although it only stayed in the sky for a few dozen minutes that time, it caused extremely terrible consequences, because it It is a remote and backward planet, and there is no local experience or ability to fight against the Dark Angels. According to subsequent statistics, hundreds of thousands of people were affected, with over 10,000 direct casualties, and the rest are still suffering to this day. "

Yu Sheng felt a strong...shock. He had not had such a real feeling when he saw the huge one-eye in the valley, but now, he finally understood from real cases how powerful the "Obscure Angel" was. Dangerous stuff.

"This thing - can it appear in the real world?!" He raised his head and looked at Song Cheng with disbelief.

"Generally speaking, dark angels will 'come' more often in foreign lands, but in fact they can appear anywhere," Song Cheng nodded, "They are not limited by the dimensions of time and space, and there is no limit to their appearance or departure. Any rule is the real 'free wanderer'"

Yu Sheng didn't speak for a long time, but Irene beside him couldn't help but muttered: ".—"

Damn it. "

"Where did these things come from?" Yu Sheng asked after thinking for a moment.

"No one knows," Song Cheng sighed, "but now a more generally accepted statement is that all 'dark angels' come from outside our world - they are a group of 'invaders' attacking our universe. "
