The children in the hotel were unaffected.
Yu An was unaware that the search engine had been activated.
He waited until it got dark, but Xie Chiyuan still hadn't returned, so he called him.
The call was connected.
Xie Chiyuan's voice sounded slightly tired. He listened to Yu An on the other end of the phone asking him why he hadn't returned yet. After a few seconds, he hung up.
"Tonight, you're the one who's the most convincing at acting."
The search device was activated and indeed found an aberration with an unknown serial number. This aberration's ability, like the previous mushroom, was hallucination.
However, the supernatural illusions here will materialize the things that people suppress and desire in their hearts.
Xie Chiyuan looked at several Yu Ans and also received several phone calls from Yu Ans.
He said expressionlessly to the air, "Alright, alright, no need to remind me anymore."
He knew who he longed for!
Chapter 47
Xie Chiyuan had just had a rather unseemly dream last night, and he hadn't even finished processing it all day when this happened to him in the evening.
It's actually quite easy to break through an illusion.
As long as you have no desires and no shameful longings in your heart, you won't see too many illusory scenes.
But it's quite obvious that he's recently started to have some restless thoughts.
at the same time.
Yu An, sitting in the hotel, was also bewildered as she stared at the screen where the call had been disconnected.
Undeterred, he called back. As soon as the call connected, he asked urgently, "Why did you hang up on me? What happened?"
Xie Chiyuan looked at the room that had appeared out of thin air not far away, and sitting on the large bed in the room was a "Yu An".
"Yu An" noticed his gaze, gave him a shy smile, and then slowly took off her clothes.
Xie Chiyuan: "Fuck it."
Yu An: "?"
Yu An retorted sharply, "You insulted me!"
Xie Chiyuan was truly numb from seeing so many Yu Ans. These Yu Ans looked incredibly realistic, but as soon as you got close, you would be assassinated by them.
The voice on the phone sounded very real to Yu An, but in this illusion, there was no reality to speak of.
Annoyed, Xie Chiyuan said into the phone, "What's the purpose of your call? Do you want to make an appointment with me?"
Yu An didn't understand what he meant.
He replied, "I'm a little worried because you haven't come back yet. Do you want me to come find you?"
Xie Chiyuan leaned against the wall and chuckled, "Alright, come find me."
He readily gave over the address, waiting for Yu An to come looking for him.
At the hotel.
Yu An also sensed that something was wrong with Xie Chiyuan, so he quickly tidied himself up and prepared to go out.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu both need to follow along.
Yu An hesitated. Xie Chiyuan and Bai Xia had gone out to find the mutants. Once they left the hotel, the mutants would be affected by the search device.
Yu An dared not take this risk.
He shook his head, firmly refusing: "No."
Only this hotel is safe, and he will not allow the kids to step out of the North District before leaving.
The chirping birds outside have made Yu An feel like a frightened bird.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu wanted to cause trouble, but once Yu An made a decision, the two little ones couldn't sway him at all.
“You stay here and watch over Chongchong and Duoduo.”
Yu An gave them a small task: "Duoduo still needs medicine, so be careful when you apply it to him."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu were initially silent.
They only responded sullenly after Yu An repeated himself.
After settling the children in, Yu An put on a coat, opened the door, and went out.
Xie Chiyuan reported that the location was not far away.
When Yu An left, Ruan Ke gave him a new phone. The phone had navigation, which perfectly solved Yu An's terrible sense of direction.
He followed the navigation all the way.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, Yu An arrived at the entrance of the department store.
The department store still appears to be lit up.
Yu An wanted to call Xie Chiyuan, but found that the line was busy.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, a little boy holding a cat tugged at his sleeve from behind. The cat in the little boy's arms was quiet and well-behaved, with round, yellowish-brown eyes.
"Big brother."
The child looked up at him and said, "I'm so hungry, can you take me to get something to eat?"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An hesitated, "My brother still needs to go find someone."
The little boy tilted his head and looked straight at him: "I helped the big brother find someone, and the big brother treated me to something to eat."
Yu An sized him up for a few seconds, then checked under the streetlights to see if he had a shadow.
A few seconds later.
Yu An agreed: "Sure, you can help me find it."
The child smiled sweetly and wanted to hold his hand.
Yu An declined, saying, "Since you're holding the cat, it's inconvenient for us to hold hands. Let's just leave like this."
The child blinked and stopped insisting on holding his hand.
While he was walking ahead, Yu An took out her phone and sent a message: "Xie Chiyuan, I saw a ghost! I met a little boy holding a black cat, and he had no shadow!"
Yu An is terrified of ghosts!
Now this little devil is leading him the way, and who knows if he's going to lead him to the underworld.
Xie Chiyuan didn't read the text message.
Unable to get a reply, Yu An could only continue walking. He thought to himself that perhaps the devil knew more than he did, so he started his probing questions.
"How long have you been in the North District?"
"Is the North District researching aberrations? Do you know what they've been secretly doing to the aberrations?"
Yu An asked directly and boldly.
Even the little devil holding the black cat answered, "I haven't lived here long, but they are indeed secretly conducting research here."
Just as Yu An was about to ask for the address where the research was being conducted, the little devil, as if he had foreseen it, answered first: "Nobody's here anymore, the research has been suspended."
The little devil was carrying a cat and would hop and skip around as he walked.
Yu An could tell from looking at it that the cat must be having a lot of trouble.
I don't know how long I walked.
The kid stopped and pointed to a brightly lit clubhouse ahead: "We're here."
He tilted his head again, reminding him, "Big brother, you have to treat me to a meal."
Yu An stared at him for a while, then asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat my big brother."
It has to be said that even though Yu An was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback when he heard the little devil utter such ghostly words.
"How would you like to eat?" Yu An asked calmly.
The little devil looked at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering why he wasn't afraid.
Yu An also vaguely sensed that the little devil in front of him was a mutant, a man-eating mutant.
After Xie Chiyuan learned that he was afraid of ghosts, he explained to him many times that there are no ghosts in this world.
For example, the scene in horror movies where a ghost scares someone to death is very unrealistic. Because if the person who was scared to death then becomes a ghost, and the two ghosts stare at each other, how awkward would that scene be?
There are no ghosts; the only people who eat people are zombies and mutants.
Zombies don't look like this; only mutants look like this.
I'm going to eat you!
The brat, who had been eliminated until only the mutant species remained, emphasized this point heavily. After emphasizing it, he revealed a set of gleaming white teeth.
Yu An would feed his arm to a zombie, but he wouldn't feed himself to a mutant. And with this cannibalistic mutant in front of him, his immediate reaction was the same as Xie Chiyuan's—
Kill him.
Xie Chiyuan killed the mutants to protect humanity.
Yu An killed the cannibalistic mutant to protect her cubs.
If there were fewer of these abnormal variants, the offspring's living environment might be better.
Without blinking, Yu An drew his military knife and slashed at the kid. His movements were incredibly fast, a speed that was acknowledged by all the instructors on the island.
The little devil didn't think that someone who looked harmless could hurt him at all.
"Pfft—"
