How did she know all this?
“She said that these were messages passed on to them by the altar of Shentongguan. They also said that God would one day descend upon us at this time, and at that time, apart from them, the faithful believers, everyone would be buried under the power of God.”
hiss.
How come what she said is exactly the same as what's happening in the world of ghost stories right now?
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Wang Ju was shocked by the horrifying discovery made by this ancient tribe on Blue Star.
Jiang Xiao, however, thought of a new problem.
"Do you have a department here called the Institute of Strange Things?"
If Jiang Xiao remembers correctly, the research institute where Du Lala works is just one of many research institutes.
If nothing unexpected happens, each place will have its own independent research institute for the supernatural.
However, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to rashly contact local research institute staff; it would be more convenient to contact someone he knew.
"Uh, you mean that kind of research institute that specializes in dealing with strange events, and it also has some really awesome [projects] with supernatural powers?"
Jiang Xiao wanted to confirm whether the world he was in now was the same as the world Pennywise had been in before.
If so, then he might be able to find a way to get help from Du Lala and the others.
"What you're saying seems to be true. During this virus outbreak, we did see the words 'project' and 'strange' in some classified documents."
An old man hesitated and said, "These old men can see classified documents, so they must be of high status."
However, on the other hand, if one's status is not high, one would not be able to access Elder Gao's prophecy, nor would one be specially escorted to this medical university to await Jiang Xiao's arrival.
However, they didn't know much more after that.
To put it bluntly, what they love most is studying history. They actually know that there are strange things in this world, but they don't care much about them.
As for the Strange Research Institute, I only have a superficial understanding of it and have never bothered to learn about it.
That would be difficult.
After all, the world is so big, where would you find it on your own?
and many more?
So I'll come back to the mental hospital!
"Could you look it up? Is there a mental hospital in this world called Good After?"
Nani?
Everyone, including Shi Shi, was stunned.
Who in their right mind would give such a terrible name to a mental hospital?
However, with this information, these old men can indeed help with the search.
However, the final result filled Jiang Xiao with disappointment once again.
They are not on the same continent, but more than 13,000 kilometers apart. There is an ocean in between.
It's too far.
If converted to the Chinese equivalent of the Dragon Kingdom, then 13,000 kilometers east of the Dragon Kingdom is the east coast of the Lighthouse Kingdom.
This shows that the area here is much larger than that of Earth.
"Could you guys help me contact them and say that an old friend of mine named Jiang Xiao wants to ask them for help?"
The old men's expressions grew increasingly strange. Wasn't it said that the Demon Child had descended from the sky?
It seems like this guy has been here before.
However, the old men had extensive connections and quickly made contact there.
"The situation there is even worse than here. Nine out of ten houses are empty. The mental hospital you mentioned has been requisitioned by the authorities."
"What happened to the previous dean?"
"His whereabouts are unknown; he was already gone when he was requisitioned."
"Could the officials currently stationed at the mental hospital help me contact the research institute located there?"
"Sure, but I just asked about the Strange Research Institute, and they replied that they've already mobilized all their forces, so there probably aren't many people left inside."
"Okay, just do your best."
Have they all mobilized?
Is it because a large number of strange entities have emerged and caused trouble during this virus outbreak?
I don't know if Du Lala went out. She was in the combat team. If she wasn't reassigned, she should have gone out too, right?
If they really can't get in touch with them, then Jiang Xiao will ask these old men to help him find the nearest strange research institute.
"Hey, don't really have any hope for that department. This virus is beyond their ability to handle. If they could, the higher-ups would have sent them long ago, and things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but sigh; he understood this principle as well.
But, when it came to himself, he really didn't know what to do.
"Is this ghost story meant to kill me?"
Chapter 535 Searching for the Source
The old man successfully contacted the strange research institute over there, and the key figure inside the institute is currently...
Actually, we should thank Jiang Xiao.
If it weren't for him, Du Lala wouldn't have made such a great contribution.
If she hadn't made such a great contribution, she wouldn't have been able to be transferred to her current "clerk" position.
Teams like B2 and emergency response teams have already set off to participate in the fight against the virus.
They had some life-saving projects that could protect them from the virus, so they all invested in the coastal cities ravaged by the virus.
Currently, only Du Lala and a few others at the eerie research institute are holding back.
Du Lala excitedly expressed her joy on the other end of the phone.
She never expected that Jiang Xiao would "come to help her again"!
"Um, Miss Du Lala, may I interrupt for a moment? What should I do now?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
How to do it?
The problem now is not whether or not to do something, but that there is simply no way to deal with this bizarre virus.
Jiang Xiao is not some big name in the medical field.
You might let him fight, but he can't treat illnesses?
"Say something! What should I do now?"
After a long silence, Du Lala finally spoke.
"Um, why don't you find somewhere to hide first? This virus is coming on strong, and we haven't found a way to deal with it. Besides, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the supernatural."
Her tone lost its earlier excitement, because Du Lala also realized that Jiang Xiao might not be able to help them with the problems they were facing this time.
Especially now that there's a stretch of sea between them,
After writing down Du Lala's private phone number, Jiang Xiao hung up the phone in a sullen mood.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao's attempt to "contact his friends" had failed, the old men standing nearby all wore expressions of "if only we had known this would happen."
"Demon Prince, let's forget about it. This problem can't be solved by any research institute. You have to trust science!"
Believe in science?
Shi Shi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes at the old men.
"You guys keep talking about prophecy, gods, demons and stuff like that. You've even started talking about science?"
"Well, while we respect modern science, we must also respect history! This is a prediction made by scientists in history!"
"Alright, Shi Shi, we won't argue with them."
Jiang Xiao sighed resignedly, indicating that the old men should speak up if they had any ideas.
"The prophecy says that the son of evil will descend, and disaster will be averted!"
"And then what? I'm asking you what I should do, don't give me this nonsense."
"The prophecy says that when the demon child descends, disaster will be averted. Now that you have appeared, shouldn't you be the one to solve the disaster?"
Jiang Xiao (#-.-): Are you kidding me? If Watma knows how to handle this, what do you need me for?
Old man =(): We don't know either, otherwise why would we be looking for you?
What the hell?
so.
