Daily life in the era of Reiki

The settings in the virtual game made Miao Sheng's head full of black lines, but when he mentioned the northern forest, he couldn't help but think of the blueberry tree and the more than 30 spirits buried under its roots.

At that time, he and Taoyao focused all their attention on the blueberry tree, and kept guessing what caused it to lose its sanity. At that time, he could not perceive the deep underground situation. Pay more attention.

Their idea is that the tree was pulled out, and the elves were also taken away. There was a huge conspiracy to lose these two most important things, and they would be unable to play, so there was nothing to worry about.

Half a year ago, Miao Sheng thought that Blueberry's age should have nothing to do with Mozu's arrangement 3000 years ago, so he didn't care about it.

Blueberry is still at home in Xitu Village, and Aunt Miao is taking care of it. Miao Sheng plans to move the delicate little guy to the capital after the big house is renovated, lest it die if something goes wrong.

Now there is a virtual training with the northern forest as the background, Miao Sheng is a little uncertain whether the same thing is happening in reality, as the game settings say, the official can't find the reason, so it is made into a virtual game , intending to use their perspective to find inspiration.

The fact is just as Miao Sheng guessed, what is happening in the northern forest is not much different from the setting in the virtual game.

The cause was that a family of deer herders was attacked by wolves in the middle of the night. After the fence was destroyed by wolves, more than a dozen deer were chased by wolves and ran into the depths of the forest.

There were only three people in that family, a middle-aged couple with a young daughter. In such a situation, they could only repair the fence first, and then ride along the traces to find it.

After chasing until dawn, they saw their own herd of deer from a distance, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them, because there were not only deer in front, but also wolves and the hounds they chased out.

They all lay lazily on the ground, the deer stopped eating grass, the wolf stopped hunting deer, and the dogs didn't wag their tails when they saw their masters coming. Their eyes were all dull as if they had lost their souls.

What was even more frightening was that there were many dead animals scattered around them. Seeing such a strange situation, the family was so frightened that they rushed to the police.

As border residents, their vigilance is very high. I am afraid that this is something like a biochemical weapon thrown from abroad. It is the most correct way to call and report to the authorities immediately.

After hearing this situation, the higher-ups did not feel neglected, and immediately sent a joint military and police team to check. Unexpectedly, the people who walked into that area wearing protective clothing soon became depressed and did not want to move.

Fortunately, whether they are soldiers or policemen, they are all people who have undergone strict training and have a firm will. With strong willpower, they resisted the desire of the body and mind, and at least brought themselves and the deer and dogs of the deer herder out.

After leaving that area, people and animals immediately returned to normal, as if the depression just didn't exist at all.

Hearing the report of the investigation team, the special operations team of the Northern Military Region sent a team, together with a group of biochemical experts from the research institute, to find the truth.

After many days of investigation, the only result is that the area that will cause people's mentality to change is surrounded. No one can say exactly what caused this phenomenon.

The investigation has never progressed, and there are problems with the sensitive psychic mentality of the team.

Others will be fine after leaving that area, but the psychic department can't do it. The powerful spiritual sense makes their emotions more sensitive, and they can't calm down for a long time, and even have the idea of ​​​​wearing the world and committing suicide.

The state of the psychic department frightened the teammates, and immediately sent him back to the military area, and asked a psychologist to find a way to heal him.

But without the psychic department, and using scientific means to find out the reason, the northern military region is completely paralyzed, so it can only ask the Beijing Academy of Sciences to go to support.

The Academy of Sciences sent people to investigate for a period of time, but there was also no result. Huaguo's tradition is to go to metaphysics if science can't explain it, but this time the door to metaphysics has also been completely sealed.

The masters of metaphysics among the awakened are the psychic department, but that place is simply the natural enemy of the psychic department. Three of them have had problems one after another, and they dare not let them get close. If an irreparable tragedy happens, the loss will be nothing but too big.

Especially at the top of the psychic system, Miao Sheng and Bai Chuxiao are the most suitable to be sent to investigate.

These two people are not very old, and they are both at a time when they are easily seduced, and if they are not careful, their temperament will be changed.

Especially Miao Sheng, the 16-year-old happens to be the high incidence period of the second disease, and he is a rare powerful faction in the psychic department. Such an army is very cool when used to deal with the enemy, but if the person facing him is himself, everyone will tremble.

Unable to send someone to go there in person, there is a clever idea to use virtual reality technology to collect images of the abnormal area and the surrounding forest, and then use virtual technology to realize it. In this way, let the best of the younger generation try to investigate .

If something unusual can be found, there is no need to send people in this time, just find the problem directly, and solve it with a single shell. Everyone is already very tired and doesn't want to bother anymore.

When Miao Sheng was thinking about whether the virtual game was related to reality, several game masters in the team, after laughing at each other's attire, had already started to check the attribute descriptions of all the equipment.

Miao Sheng regained his senses and looked at the clothes of the nine virtual characters, and found that he was the most normal one, with a white mage robe and a staff that was a bit taller than his body, which was very suitable for Miao Sheng's auxiliary system identity.

The rest of them were quite dazzling, including hunting outfits and fighter outfits, Tsui Hark was wearing a camouflage outfit and carrying a bazooka, Xi Fan and Hyundai stood together, feeling like they could fight at any time, they didn't look like a team at all.

Miao Sheng searched around but didn't see Hu Lingye, and finally fixed her eyes on the armored warrior in knight armor. This beauty came up with such a dress because she specified something abnormal.

Follow the example of your teammates to open the backpack. Except for a few weapons, each of them has a card that is free from emotional influence.

Because the card can only work within half an hour, someone suggested to his teammates whether they should split up and walk into the abnormal area in different directions, so as to collect more comprehensive information.

Everyone has no objection to this arrangement. If they were in the real world, they would definitely not adopt this aggressive approach. In the virtual world, they should be bolder, and they won't really die anyway.

After formulating an action plan, Chi Dong, the oldest member of the team, took the initiative to assume the role of captain. He opened the map, marked everyone's entry point, and agreed to meet at the center of the area.

Then the team members teleported directly to their location and began to explore the abnormal area.

At this time, it can be seen that everyone's personality is different. There are those who rush in, and those like Miao Sheng, who sit on the outside and study the map first.

From where he was, Miao Sheng couldn't find any familiar places, so he could only look for them on the map.

He remembered that the blueberry tree was planted at the foot of a rocky mountain, surrounded by the mountain and the boulders outside to form an egg shape, the blueberry tree grew in the egg, and there was a gravel beach around it.

The vegetation in that area is sparse and there are many boulders. If it is really within the scope of the abnormal area, it should be easy to find. Of course, the premise is that the virtual game scene is really mapped to the forest in the north.

Putting the map to the maximum, Miao Sheng was a little discouraged and found that the drawing was not detailed, and it was difficult to see the specific situation in the forest. There was a stone mountain in the center of the abnormal area, but he didn't know if it was the one he was looking for.

Just treat it as a goal, Miao Sheng put away the map, controlled the avatar to run forward, observed the surrounding situation while running, and at the same time turned on the function of improving the map to record all the scenes he saw along the way.

In the forest, except for the plants, there is soil. After a long time, it looks the same everywhere, and it is very easy to get lost.

Unable to step on the ground, and without geomagnetic guidance, Miao Sheng remembered that he was a road idiot, living in a strange environment with no signposts, and without external objects to affect his emotions, he had already started to feel anxious.

Miao Sheng's mood was unstable, and his ability to control the virtual character was reduced. The character began to rotate in a circle. This transfer Miao Sheng found a very strange phenomenon. The position of the trees seen when rotating seemed to be regular.

He changed the location and tried to rotate again. When the speed increased, he could clearly see that the trees turned into circles with the rotation, a very clear circle structure.

After running for a long distance, Miao Sheng rotated for the third time, and found that the same phenomenon still occurred. The trees that seemed to be disordered when they were still, would appear in a circle structure when they rotated.

Miao Sheng immediately notified his teammates of this discovery and asked them to test it in different places. If everyone saw the same situation, it indicated that the abnormal area might be an extremely large formation, and its precision was far beyond imagination.

The teammates received the notification from Miao Sheng and immediately started to test. The pictures they saw after switching to several locations were all the same as Miao Sheng's description. The trees in this area did indeed form some kind of formation.

Their in-game conversations can be heard by everyone outside. Seeing that Miao Sheng's guess was confirmed, someone immediately notified the northern military stationed outside the anomalous area and asked them to send an unmanned helicopter in and rotate to see if there was a circle. Appear.

If the pictures are also circles, then cut down the trees, and set fire to the mountain if it doesn't work. The spiritual headquarters directly authorized and approved it, and sent more fire and water guards. As long as the fire does not spread to the entire northern forest, it will be destroyed. The forests where the fire appeared were burned up, and even the roots of the trees were dug out.

Miao Sheng had a new idea at this time. He called the developer of the virtual game, "Technical staff, please help mark the center point of the abnormal area. We are going to check there to see if the entire area is also a large circle."

His request was immediately responded to, and a red mark appeared in the center of everyone's map.

And a prompt sounded, and the fixed-point teleportation function has been added to the mission team. Just click the red mark on the map to teleport to the central point.

The team members arrived at the center of the abnormal area with one click, and then found that the center was a bit crowded. They were standing in a small area surrounded by rocks, and their avatars were very close to each other.

When the others looked at each other head-on, Miao Sheng realized that he was probably standing in the small depression where the blueberry tree was found. At this moment, there was also a phantom tree in the middle of the depression. It should be too hidden and missed when collecting images.

What made Miao Sheng a little frightened was the intact rocks all around.When he took the blueberry tree away, he deliberately opened an exit on the stone in order to prevent any animals from falling into the small mountain and being trapped to death. Unexpectedly, the exit has been restored as before.

Is it the same scene picking error, or was it really fixed by someone?If it was fixed, what does that mean?

It means that demons have always been active here in our northern forest. If this is also the layout of the ancestors of demons, then compared to the regular start tasks accepted by other demons, this group of demons accepts long-term maintenance tasks.

The only one who is loyal to the Demon Ancestor, able to carry out the orders of the Demon Ancestor for 3000 years, and at the same time allow the Demon Ancestor to deliver long-term tasks with confidence, is the same clan of the Demon Ancestor, the Shura Clan.

Miao Sheng once heard Xiaowei say that the shape of the Shenzhou is not regular, it is just a fragment of the real source of spiritual energy, except for a large stretch of the South China Sea, the rest of the area basically coincides with the border of Huaguo.

Therefore, this place is very close to the edge of the Shenzhou, which is suitable for the demons to come to maintain it from time to time. After seeing the damage to the central node, it is their normal operation to repair the fence and replant a spiritual tree.

Miao Sheng's scalp tingled when he thought that the area where the demons were active was only a short distance away in the north. If there was any species of the demons that he feared the most, it would be the Shura.

In the face of other races, Miao Sheng may be able to provoke them to have a little hesitation about the resurrection of the Demon Ancestor, but the Shura Clan is an absolute supporter of the Demon Ancestor, and it can even be said that the prosperity and decline of the entire clan rests on the Demon Ancestor.

Miao Sheng was still thinking about it in the small mountain depression. Bai Chuxiao, who was having fun playing games, had already climbed to the side of the rocky mountain and circled around. Hu Lingye, a beautiful woman in heavy armor, was walking around with him. .

Miao Sheng was about to climb up the mountain to find out. Bai Chuxiao, who was circling on the top of the mountain, suddenly let out a scream, and the virtual character disappeared. In reality, he also heard the scream and various exclamations.

The completion interface of the game appeared immediately, and the virtual helmets of several people also stopped running.

None of the teammates cared about the game anymore, they were all anxiously taking off their helmets, wanting to see how Bai Chuxiao was doing.

When Miao Sheng took off his helmet, he saw a staff member take off Bai Chuxiao's helmet. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked seriously injured. Yes, only the breathing is relatively smooth.

Realizing that his soul might have been impacted and his soul power was out of control, Miao Sheng immediately ran over and pressed Bai Chuxiao's forehead with his palm, and touched his soul sea with spiritual knowledge, helping him to calm down the chaotic soul power down.

Everyone was watching Miao Sheng's movements with bated breath. Seeing that Bai Chuxiao's brows were gradually relaxing and his face was turning red little by little, everyone was so scared that they put their hearts back to their original places.

Seeing that Bai Chuxiao was fine, Miao Sheng turned his eyes to Hu Lingye who was also in a dizzy state. She didn't pass out, but her face was pale and she retched from time to time, which was miserable enough.

After helping the beautiful woman relieve her weakness, Miao Sheng asked her, "What did you see at the center, and why did it all become like this?"

Hu Lingye thought of the picture she saw, and almost retched again, "It's a circle, a huge trap, layer upon layer, like an endless circle.

Just looking at it can make people's eyes dizzy. I can't bear it with my nerves, let alone your psychic department. Fortunately, you didn't turn around together, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to find someone to rescue you. . "

The teammates saw that Bai Chuxiao was carried away by the medical staff, and Hu Lingye had returned to normal. Just as he was about to express his thoughts on the training, a large screen in the virtual reality laboratory lit up, and Xiong Lao and Shi Lao appeared in the on screen.

"Okay, kids, your training mission has ended successfully, and I also thank you for finding the crux of the anomalous area. Now my colleagues in the north have confirmed that there is indeed a circle phenomenon on the periphery, and they are sending drones to fly to the center. .” The two big men smiled and looked at the children lovingly.

Let’s just say that my babies are smart. After tossing and tossing over there for a long time, they didn’t find out where the problem was. A few little guys found a breakthrough in less than an hour in virtual reality.

"Eh? Is this game a real event? It's happening in the north?" Several people widened their eyes, and then looked at Miao Sheng together, "Miao Sheng, how did you come up with the idea of ​​going around in circles?"

It's hard for everyone to imagine that Miao Sheng, who has a cold and dusty temperament, will have the habit of little girls running around in circles. He can think that this method is really weird.

"I went to the northern forest to perform a mission. After I entered the game, I found that the scene inside was too real. I wondered if something really happened in the northern part. His thinking was unstable and he didn't control the virtual character well, so he turned around by himself, and then I found something abnormal." Miao Sheng didn't want people to know that he was a road idiot, it would ruin his image too much, so he expressed his other thoughts.

"The case of Ji Lin's escape?" Chi Dong looked at Miao Sheng's face with some baby fat, and couldn't help but feel pity.

Although he is still young, he is already experienced and the most reliable comrade in arms.

The first time they met was also during the execution of the mission. That time they went abroad to rescue the captured construction workers. Miao Sheng participated in the mission as a spirit pattern technician.

Originally, everyone was worried about how to protect a little Douding on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Xiao Douding's combat effectiveness exploded, and instead became a key figure in completing the mission.

He was just a little older then, not as tall as his own shoulders, but now he was about the same height and wiser.

If you don't want to be a spirit pattern scientist, one of the top ten seats must give way.

"Fortunately, you have been to the northern forest." Tsui Hark muttered happily.

It attracted a lot of people present to nod in agreement. People who don't know the northern forest don't realize the similarity between the game scene and reality. If it wasn't for the characters losing control accidentally, they wouldn't find the abnormality that can only be found with a special angle.

After everyone left the virtual laboratory, they first went to the medical department to check on Bai Chuxiao. He heard from the doctor in charge that he had just been shocked by his soul and fell into a self-protective lethargy, and he would wake up in a short time. Sit down in an unoccupied corner.

After a while of silence, Chi Dong spoke first, "With such a precise arrangement, even if there is a problem with one tree, it won't be possible to realize the spectacle of rings and rings. At least when observing the whole at the center, the state of circles is difficult to appear. "

"Indeed, when rotating in the center, the shape of the circles seen is extremely complete. If no one maintains it carefully, such a perfect layout would not be possible at all." Hu Lingye gnawed on the plum that she had begged from the nurse, feeling sick Sure enough, you still have to eat sweet and sour snacks to suppress it.

"So, is this also one of the layouts of the Lord of the Underworld? The forest in the north is so close to the border, and the forest is sparsely populated, so it's easy to maintain." The handsome guy who didn't speak for a long time and didn't know everyone very well said softly. Sentence, the tone is a little trembling.

From his accent, one could tell he was from the north. Judging by his behavior, his family was probably not far from the forest.

Tsui Hark, who is also from the north, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to Miao Sheng and said, "Miao Sheng knows, right? He was the youngest member when he joined the special operations team. He was not yet in the military academy at that time, although he was younger than us." , but our predecessors.

Do you know how he joined?In the past, southern Xinjiang was invaded by demon cultivators two or three times in a row, most of which were his participation in the operations, forcibly blocking the demon cultivators.

There has never been a saying that the border is safe and sound. It is just that someone secretly resolved the crisis. Now it is our turn to solve the crisis. Don't be cowardly, buddy, we can't embarrass us northerners. "

"If you're worried about your family members, let them move to the capital. It's not like you don't have the ability." Atavistic Cheng Feng gave Tsui Hark a blank look. Such lofty words are suitable for people to say when they are worried about their family members. come out?

"The whole village is all relatives. I really don't have the ability to move them all to the capital, and they won't agree." The reinforcement department named Jin Lei shook his head and smiled wryly.

With his family's temperament, if he knew that there were outsiders crossing the border to make trouble, it would be possible to fight them desperately with a shovel, and there was no way to let them leave their homeland.

"It's okay. After discovering the problem, there will definitely be troops stationed all year round. Even if outsiders come over, they will only be able to deliver food." Chi Dong reassured Jin Lei that the Northern Special Operations Team is not just paper. Internal chaos is courting death.

"Hello, Mr. Bai is awake, and his name is Miao Sheng." A nurse came to interrupt everyone's conversation.

As soon as they heard this, they immediately stood up and ran into the ward. Bai Chuxiao was sweating profusely and was struggling to call Miao Sheng under the pressure of several doctors. He didn't look very clear-headed.

Miao Sheng hurried over to calm down his chaotic soul power again, and Bai Chuxiao finally woke up.

He sat up and panted for a while, then looked at his teammates in panic, "I noticed malice, just in the north, there is a kind of powerful malice from plants, which spreads from the center to the outside through the circle layer like an amplifier. We experienced It’s not just a game scene, but a real existence, right?”

Everyone nodded unanimously, agreeing with Bai Chuxiao's keen perception, and told him that someone was already solving the problem, reassuring him.

Hearing what his teammates said, Bai Chuxiao fell back on the bed with a loose body, and murmured, "It's terrible, that kind of malice, have you seen a doomsday movie, plants emit some kind of chemical substance that affects humans Emotions that lead humans to suicide, that's what I feel the malice looks like."

Bai Chuxiao's words made everyone in the ward gasp. This layout is too vicious.

At this time, Miao Sheng finally connected the clues that appeared before and after.

The reason why the blueberry tree that has lost its mind is planted there is to stimulate it to generate malice at a specific time, and then assimilate the surrounding plants, and then let the malice gradually expand the scope of influence through the array, and eventually cause all the plants that can be touched to be destroyed. Exude malice.

The role of the blueberry tree is similar to that of the stone monsters in the hidden village, the only difference is that one affects people, while the other affects plants, making it even more difficult to guard against.

Therefore, after discovering the disappearance of the blueberry tree, the Shura tribe urgently replanted other tree spirits whose minds had been shattered. It may be that the effect of the planting was not ideal, which did not cause more serious disasters.

He sighed, "Investigate the person who created that movie, he probably knew some truths, so he wrote the script and made the movie to warn the world.

It’s just that he probably doesn’t know that the real situation is more troublesome than what is described in the film. What the plants emit is not chemical substances, but some kind of mind control, so even wearing a protective suit and entering the abnormal area will not work. It will be reduced by half. "
