Chapter 119 Twelve Earthly Branches

Shen Ge followed him into the shopping mall. There were many people in the large shopping mall in the city center even on weekdays. It was so crowded that it was not easy to find people.

However, the man was dressed in all black and also had a hood on. Shen Ge caught his figure at a glance in the crowd.

"Special police are handling the case, everyone squat down!" Shen Ge shouted towards the crowd and was about to wait for the civilians to squat down and draw their guns.

Unexpectedly, the people around him looked at him in confusion, and some even looked disgusted.

"md, aren't the people in Rong City alert at all?" Shen Ge didn't say any more nonsense. He jumped directly to the large doll statue on the right, then jumped again and rushed in the direction of the man in black. .

"Wow!"

"Can you jump over this? Are today's special police so powerful?"

"Is the special police really handling the case?"

"Who knows, I've never seen a special police officer handle a case."

"What the hell, I patted Shivering Yin, this is a wave of traffic!"

"If you don't shake the yin, you have the flow of a fart!"

"..."

This move immediately attracted a round of applause. Obviously, everyone did not expect that Shen Ge was so good at jumping not only two meters high, but also three or four meters away.

Some were afraid of the trouble and immediately backed away or ran out of the mall, but most of them took out their mobile phones just to watch the excitement.

When the man in black saw Shen Ge chasing after him, he rushed to the welfare entrance, held up one hand, jumped over the guardrail and jumped to the first floor below, and then ran towards the safety exit.

When Shen Ge saw this, he also jumped down, which immediately attracted a burst of exclamations of "Oh, this is a Uncle Long movie", "Uncle Long is possessed", and "Supermarket God of War".

Shen Ge chased the man in black into the parking lot. The man rushed to a deserted place and suddenly stopped, turned around and threw the black cat in his arms towards Shen Ge.

"Meow--"

The black cat screamed in the air, and a black mist suddenly surged out of its body. Just as signs of alienation were about to appear, Shen Ge suddenly raised his hand, and his stomach turned into a huge mouth and swallowed the falling black cat in one gulp. Down.

A large mass of carrion wrapped in the strange stomach fell to the ground, and the black cat struggled fiercely inside, trying to break free.

The man in black did not expect that Shen Ge would instantly kill a level 1 Anomaly as soon as he took action. He was slightly startled to see that Shen Ge had already used the jumping power of the sneaky boots to get close.

Shen Ge flew up and punched the man in black in the face. The man in black raised his hands, and two blood-red hands stretched out from his clothes. They supported Shen Ge's punch with four palms together and locked his fist at the same time.

Then, two black arms exuding black energy stretched out from the man in black's clothes, holding a dagger and stabbed Shen Ge in the chest.

When Shen Ge got the warning from the system that the opponent was a level 5 Anomaly with "three heads and six arms", he was very alert and guarded against the opponent in every move.

When the dagger came, a layer of rotten flesh had already been attached to the other hand. He punched down to block the opponent's attack, and then punched towards the chest.

boom!

Shen Ge punched the man in black in the lower abdomen. The man punched several times with all four arms, but all of them hit the carrion armor, neutralizing the attack.

The two of them each took a few steps back and distanced themselves.

The man in black swung the shoulder bag on his back in front of him, unzipped it and took out several weapons, ranging from assault rifles to submachine guns.

Six arms holding six guns, aiming at Shen Ge.

"Hey, how did you get so many people controlling knives?" Shen Ge snapped his fingers and immediately attached himself to the full-body armor. While it was attaching, he jumped to the side and hid behind an SUV.

Bang bang bang!

The man in black didn't say much to Shen Ge and just opened fire.

Six guns fired at the same time, instantly smashing the SUV into a sieve. Shen Ge was also shot several times, but fortunately he was blocked by the full-body armor.

The man in black walked forward with a gun and fired, trying to suppress Shen Ge with firepower. However, when he walked over and took a look, there was no Shen Ge behind the car.

Shen Ge had already hunched his body and walked around behind the stone pillar during his first round of shooting, and then activated "Invisible + Silent" to touch behind the man in black.

boom!

The man in black was punched in the vest, and he threw himself forward, but Shen Ge grabbed his hand and brought him back. Then he stepped forward and immediately brought him down and captured him.

Shen Ge pulled off the hood of the man in black, and it turned out that it was not Lao Wang, but a young woman with short hair. She looked like a fish and a goose, and she was as beautiful as a flower. , all seem to be tugging at people's heartstrings.

Seeing Shen Ge's stunned reaction, the woman knew that the other party had been charmed by her, and smiled charmingly: "If you are willing to join..."

Before she could finish her words, a gun was stuffed into the woman's open mouth. Then without saying a word, Shen Ge pulled the trigger and shot the woman through the head.

Shen Ge stood up in the woman's shocked eyes, stepped on her chest, then took a rifle and swiped at her head, beating it to pieces like a watermelon, and then threw the assault rifle with an empty magazine aside.

At this time, Shen Ge noticed that the red tumor on the woman's neck was beating like a heart, and he immediately took out the butcher's knife and slashed it.

puff--

When the butcher's knife hit the red sarcoma, blood spattered immediately. The woman's six hands that were lying on the ground suddenly moved. She grabbed Shen Ge's feet and lifted them up, sending him flying away with great force.

Then the red sarcoma broke open, and a fist-sized head grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a normal male head.

"Don't you know how to show mercy to others?" The young man stood up and glared at Shen Ge.

"You want to seduce me? Thanks to my cleverness, I can see that your face is not natural. Bah, I didn't expect that you are a hermaphrodite." Shen Ge clapped his hands in disgust, as if the person he just hit was not a young man, but a young man. What a disgusting filthy thing.

The young man saw that Shen Ge wanted to anger him, but he was not angry. He smiled and said: "I am the 'Xu' of the Twelve Branches. The organization is observing you after Dongyu Village. After the trip to Bang Country, we sent people to investigate you." After testing, I think you are a good fit, are you interested in joining us?"

"Do you have five social insurances and one housing fund, including food and accommodation? Will you help me clean my butt if I cause trouble? Do you have the kind of awesome ID that can slap anyone in the face if you mess with me?" Shen Ge asked .

Xu frowned, obviously not expecting Shen Ge to ask such a long list of questions. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "Sure enough, as 'Si' said, you are quite interesting. We can't give you any questions at the moment. You provide this, but when the plan is completed, you will have greater power and wealth."

Shen Ge said: "Hey, you're just making a promise for a long time. You don't think you can make me give up my status as a special policy department by just saying a few words, do you? Please, the end of the universe is the examination department. Only idiots will follow my current establishment. You guys do it. If you want me to change jobs, first come up with the corresponding chips."

"That's it." Xu smiled, and then said: "Okay, then next time we come to see Mr. Shen, we will definitely prepare the corresponding chips. As for the half-finished body, you can take it as long as you want, but …Be careful when doing research.”

After Xu finished speaking and was about to leave, Shen Ge hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, you are trying to get me to join your gang, so you have to introduce yourself anyway, right?"

"Didn't I introduce you? I am Xu from the Twelve Branches." Xu said.

Shen Ge noticed at this time that the word "Xu" was embroidered with red thread on the hood of Xu's black sweatshirt.

Recalling the men in black seen in Bangguo and Nanhu International Community, there seemed to be writing on the hood.

Shen Ge spread his hands: "Then what? Is the purpose of your organization to maintain world peace or to unify the world? This needs to be introduced, right?"

"The boss hasn't thought about this yet," Xu said.

Shen Ge's face under the armor's mask suddenly became a little weird, and it took him a long time to say: "Your boss... is really casual."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is called 'casual' and 'free and easy'. After all, people live for comfort, and our goal is also to live a comfortable life in the future." Xu said with a smile.

Shen Ge asked again: "The 'Si' you just mentioned is the person who played Anomaly in Bangguo and Nanhu International against us?"

"That's right." Xu nodded.

Shen Ge said: "His real name is 'Wang Defa', and he was originally a security guard living in Xingfu Community?"

Xu smiled and said: "If you want to ask about 'Si', it's okay to tell you. He was originally Wang Defa, but he is not the previous Wang Defa. During our operation, a small mistake occurred and the security guard was involved. Come in, the former Wang Defa is dead, and the one who is alive is 'Si'."

"Twelve, you are 'Xu' and he is 'Si'." Shen Ge raised his hand and glanced at the time on the watch on his left wrist, which read 8:57.

"'Si' appears twice, and the time is between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning. Your timing is quite coincidental. This is strictly in accordance with the time standards of the twelve earthly branches. Looking at it this way, do you still have 3 minutes? Do you have to 'get off work'?" Shen Ge asked.

Xu smiled and said nothing, Shen Ge continued: "The experiment that Lao Wang was involved in should be the incident similar to the 'Traveler', right? You are using parasitic Anomaly to conduct experiments, trying to create artificial Anomaly like you ? It's just that the 'Traveler' was a failure, and was finally controlled by Anomaly and lost its mind?"

Xu smiled and said: "Not bad, can you tell so much just by connecting these clues together? Yes, Lao Wang did enter the experimental area by mistake and ate the 'parasitic Anomaly' we were going to use on other people. , which caused us to look for him for several days before we found him."

"And you even know about the 'Parasite Anomaly'. It seems you know more than we thought. This should have been discovered by a very capable researcher in your department, right? What is it called? Oh, yes, Li Xiang , is that the name?”

"He is also on our invitation list, but he is behind you."

When Shen Ge was talking to Xu, he pressed the communicator and secretly connected to Deng Yuqi's line. Now Deng Yuqi could hear clearly what the two said.

When they learned that Li Xiang was also on the list of these people, they immediately dispatched manpower to protect the technical department. They were afraid that the other party would attack in the east and west. Taking advantage of holding Shen Ge, Deng Yuqi and Lin Yin attacked the special policy department while escorting the body. Abduct Li Xiang.

"To be honest, I'm still very interested in you, especially since you can grow another head after I blow it off. Your new head grew out of red sarcoma, which reminds me of something I saw before. Report. The experiment was conducted at the headquarters, and the man turned into a giant sarcoma monster. Could your 'boss' come from our headquarters?"

Shen Ge tried to get some information from Xu, but the other party didn't take the bait at all: "Want to know? Okay, we will tell you when you join us."

"Okay, I'll join." Shen Ge said decisively.

Xu said: "Okay, take off your strange armor first, then give the armor to me, and come back to the headquarters with me. I will tell you everything you want to know, and I can also tell you where the Anomaly came from. , why it was born, and how about even telling you how to drive Anomaly?"

"Do you still know where Anomaly comes from?" Shen Ge obviously didn't believe it.

Xu said seriously: "Of course, we have information that even the Special Policy Department does not have. As long as you are willing to join, you can know the truth."

"Say a few words first and listen, otherwise how will I know whether it is true or false." Shen Ge said.

Xu Fan asked: "Do you know why all living things on the earth can undergo alienation, but not humans?"

Shen Ge was obviously taken aback when he heard this question. In retrospect, animals and insects in the ocean and land, as long as they are living organisms, have the possibility of alienation. Only humans can resist alienation and cannot alienate.

But humans are also "animals". Whether it is in terms of body structure or life characteristics, there are animals on the earth that have something in common with humans, so there is no reason why humans alone cannot be alienated.

"Oh? Why?" Shen Ge asked.

Xu smiled and said: "Want to know? Then consider the proposal I just made."

"I'm a timid person. I don't dare to take off my armor until I'm sure it's safe."

"Then there's no need to talk. Let's show sincerity after Mr. Shen decides to join." Xu said, walking towards the safe exit.

Shen Ge said: "Hey, one more question, are your twelve teams full?"

"Why do you ask that?" Xu asked curiously.

Shen Ge said: "I don't like to start from the grassroots level. If you want to join you, you must focus on these twelve positions. If it is full, how can I find a way to free up a position?"

"Um?"

Xu was thinking about Shen Ge's words when he saw him suddenly raise his right hand, and the sly arm armor hidden in the carrion armor spurted out a ball of black flames.

Seeing that this man couldn't get any more information out of him, Shen Ge naturally wouldn't let him go so easily.

While the black fire was burning towards Xu, Shen Ge had already used the "not leaving the strange realm" to cover Xu's entire body, trapping him in a sealed space and burning him.

"ah--"

"ah!!!"

"Asshole, I won't let you go!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"Kill you!"

Xu was imprisoned in the Anomaly, screaming and wailing, but Shen Ge's mental strength could not support him enough to burn him into coke. After confirming that his whole body was ignited, he canceled the Anomaly, and then picked up the Anomaly on the ground. The gun fired at the burning gun.

Xu was burned and curled up on the ground, no different from an ordinary person being burned to death. However, the system did not prompt Shen Ge to kill the fifth-level Anomaly, so he did not choose to stop.

At this moment, Shen Ge discovered that "Xu"'s charred body was constantly shrinking, with black ashes scattered on the ground like quicksand.

Shen Ge suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to rush forward to find out.

boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the right side, and a car flew towards Shen Ge. Shen Ge subconsciously raised his arm to block, but was knocked out by the car and hit a stone pillar.

A large piece of the stone pillar collapsed. Shen Ge rolled to the side after landing and hid in the trunk of the car.

At this time, another man in black walked out of the dim underground passage. This man was stronger than "Xu" and was more than half a head taller.

But the light in the underground parking lot was too dark to see clearly the words on the man's hood.

[warn! warn! warn! ]

[Discovered level 5 Anomaly (Characteristics: three heads and six arms). It is detected that the host’s current strength is definitely no match for him. Please cherish your life and escape quickly! ]

"Good guy, one of them is alive and here comes the second one!" Shen Ge suddenly felt a headache. After all, there were as many as twelve such guys.

oh.

The premise is that their "twelve branches" are fully staffed.

Shen Ge was about to rush up and clean up the man as well, and knocked his car away. The back compartment bounced open with a bang, and a red Anomaly as tall as a person jumped out.

Judging from the appearance, you can tell at a glance that it is an Anomaly whose original shape is a "shrimp". It is emitting thick black smoke and its body is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shrimps are so big that they can’t be stewed in one pot!

"MD, you can never look directly at the crayfish again!" Shen Ge raised his hand to block the claws of the crayfish.

This crayfish was only about one person tall when it appeared. In such a blink of an eye, it had already grown to almost two meters, and its mysterious power was still increasing.

Shen Ge was extremely surprised that he could start the second alienation in such a short period of time.

But at this time, he had no time to think too much, because the man in black had already rushed towards the scorched corpse. Shen Ge could only use his weird stomach to control the crayfish's head, and then his weird arm armor breathed fire to ignite it.

While the flames were burning the crayfish, Shen Ge pulled out the butcher knife and slashed it at the crayfish's head several times.

Even though this crayfish is only a level 1 Anomaly, its thick carapace is much harder than an ordinary level 2 anomaly. It took several cuts with the butcher knife to create a gap.

[Host successfully kills level 1 Anomaly, reward system points x50! ]

[Whether to sell the first-level Anomaly corpse, selling price: 200 system points. ]

"yes!"

Shen Ge sold the body and at the same time propped up the car with one hand, jumped over and rushed towards the man in black not far away.

The man rushed towards "Xu" who had turned into black ash on the ground. A bloody hand sprouted from his clothes, which instantly turned into a bloody leather bag and covered the black ash. He grabbed Xu's remains and ran away.

Shen Ge shouted while chasing: "Hey, you're here, why are you running so fast, just chatting?"

"Your Excellency just chatted to death about one of our companions. I don't think there's anything to talk about." The man just ran away and didn't look back at all.

Judging from her voice, she sounded like a middle-aged woman, about forty or fifty years old.

Shen Ge relied on the jumping power of the sneaky boots to close the distance with the man in black with several flying jumps. He stretched out his hand, and his stomach immediately turned into a bloody basin and bit the man in black.

The bloody hand on the left side of the man in black turned into a bloody leather bag covering Xu's remains, which he held in his arms, while the bloody hand on the right turned into a palm-thick bloody tentacle, which was drawn to the strange place with a "slap". Pop it on your stomach.

"Hey, He Bao, right?" Shen Ge retracted his stomach, jumped into the air, and grabbed the bloody tentacle with his "holding" hand wearing a gloved hand.

But the man in black seemed to have been prepared and retracted the bloody tentacles directly.

"Mr. Shen, the Twelve are very interested in you. We will talk slowly when we have the opportunity in the future. Let's just say goodbye today!" the man in black shouted.

Shen Ge said coldly: "Want to run? There is no door!"

Don’t leave the treacherous realm!

Shen Ge doesn't have much mental power left, and he can't stay out of the treacherous realm for at most two or three seconds. He must see the right moment to block the opponent's transmission method.

Sure enough, the man in black took out something from his clothes, but Shen Ge could no longer use his magic realm, causing the man in black to hit the invisible wall with a bang.

"This is..." The man in black slapped the invisible barrier in great surprise.

"This is your coffin!" Shen Ge had already chased him. He sneered and raised the butcher's knife and slashed at the man in black, unable to escape from the mysterious realm.

The man in black was frightened, and kept slapping the instrument in his hands with both hands. He thought that the instrument had failed, but he didn't know that it was blocked by the mysterious realm.

Seeing Shen Ge slashing at him with a knife, he subconsciously raised his bloody hand to block him, but Shen Ge's knife was just a feint, and its target was the bloody skin bag wrapping Xu's remains.

Because Shen Ge was not sure whether this knife could kill the man in black in front of him. If he was allowed to use the teleportation device to escape, it would be all in vain. It is better to settle for the next best thing. At least one of Xu He, the man in black, must be left behind.

With a "pop" sound, the butcher knife struck the "arm" of the bloodskin bag extending from the clothes of the man in black, and cut it off with one blow.

"Ah!" The man in black screamed, as if the knife was not cutting on his "clothes", but on his body.

This "clothes" is obviously not as simple as it seems.

But just for a moment, the device in the man's hand was activated smoothly, and with a "swish" sound, it turned into a white light and disappeared from Shen Ge's eyes.

Shen Ge glanced at the squirming bloodskin bag on the ground and the location where the man in black disappeared, and his brows instantly furrowed.

There really is a way to "teleport" in this world, but...why does this "white light appear" look so familiar?

Shen Ge opened the bloody leather bag on the ground, which contained Xu's remains. He could barely see most of the burnt, curled-up "person" and half of the bag of black ash.

laugh.

At this time, with a sudden brake, an explosion-proof vehicle marked "Special Police" drove in from the entrance and stopped in front of Shen Ge.

"Tan Shen."

"Tan Shen."

Feng Chengxiu, Wang Han and others got out of the car.

"The body of the Level 2 Anomaly has been successfully returned to the Special Policy Department. The minister asked us to support you." Feng Chengxiu said to Shen Ge.

Shen Ge immediately picked up the special contact device of the Special Policy Department. This kind of special dedicated line contact device does not have to worry about signal problems at all.

"Minister, there may be something wrong with the body of the humanoid Anomaly. Don't rush to let the people from the technical department study it!" Shen Ge thought of a "kind reminder" and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly contacted Deng Yuqi to remind him.

Soon Deng Yuqi's reply came from the contact: "The body is still being tested in the testing department. It will be sent to the technical department after the testing is completed..."

As soon as Deng Yuqi finished speaking, Shen Ge heard a loud noise coming from the communicator!
