Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Mysterious Fog

In the dark world, Yaso stood alone, yes, he stood up.

The light of various colors flickered, seemingly endless. Obviously Yaso was standing in nothingness, but he felt that he was standing on the ground, as if there was an invisible ground under his feet.

Yaso looked down at his body and sighed.

"It's this dream again... is this scroll every day?Yaso shook his head helplessly and took a step forward.

The next moment, the surrounding golden light was even more dazzling, and the black light seemed to swallow his soul. At this moment, a strange scroll floated towards Yaso.

It is said that it is weird because Yaso can see more clearly this time, but the handling of some details of this scroll is full of mystery.

Various mysterious runes are carved on the scrolls, shining brightly.

The runes are like a mixture of the runes in ancient mythology, and they seem to be myths from different countries.

All the runes have an indescribable mysterious beauty.

And there is a pattern in the golden light, which seems to be the pattern of the sun. Yes, it is the sun....

And there was only darkness in the black light, and nothing could be seen.

"Inexplicable place.Yaso shook his head, stepped forward, and walked directly in front of the scroll.

Ten years ago, he dreamed of this place for the first time, and in the recent period, he would have the same dream every night, all of which were this mysterious scroll.

It's just that in the previous dream, no matter what he did, he couldn't move half a step forward. No matter how he walked, the scroll always kept the same distance from him.

Even if Yaso is running in a dream... even if he is circling around the scroll, the distance between him and the scroll has not changed in any way.

And today, he actually approached this mysterious scroll.

Yaso took a deep breath, he stretched out his right hand and touched the rune surface of the scroll.

Sizzle--!

The sound like an electric current echoed in the darkness, and the body of the scroll shook, then shook, unresponsive.

Yaso retracted his hand.

Sizzle--!

Yaso touched it again, but the scroll still didn't respond.

The scroll seemed to be very attractive to Yaso. This time he stretched out his hands and put them on the scroll without retracting them.

If in reality, Yaso just moves casually, he will be very weak, but this is in a dream, he will not be tired, he just keeps standing like this,

As a result, Yaso was like a statue, standing there all night without moving....

The next afternoon, Mei had already gone to work, and a woman named Elena came to Yaso's house. She was Yaso's governess.

Because of Yaso's body and personality, Mei hired a governess for him since he was unable to stand. Mei's monthly salary is not high, but she still wants to give Yaso the best, because she doesn't want Yaso to fall behind others.

Although Yaso wanted to refuse to hire a governess in his heart, because he didn't want anyone to see him like this, he finally obeyed Mei's arrangement.

Because he didn't want to see Mei unhappy even more.

Elena took the book and walked to Yaso's room, and first came up to say a few words of condolences about Yaso's physical condition.

After hearing that Yaso's legs could move slightly, she happily congratulated Yaso, and then the woman began to teach him.

"Yaso, please turn the book to page 68. Today we will talk about the history and dilemmas of the modern earth..." The female teacher said.

Yaso nodded, then weakly turned up the textbook.

"A hundred years ago, there were more than two hundred countries on the earth, distributed on seven continents and four oceans, with different customs and cultures. In that era of underdeveloped science and technology, we can still take ships to different countries and feel the cultural exchanges between each country..."

"However, on that day fifty years ago, a mysterious mist suddenly appeared in the Arctic out of thin air, and then spread rapidly at an alarming rate. In just one year, it swallowed nearly 90% of the earth's area."

"Whether it's a high-rise building once built by humans, a primeval forest, or a bottomless ocean...All of this is swallowed up by this fog, and countless countries have fallen into the fog, and there is no news."

"Now there is only the last piece of land left for mankind. The only remaining humans in the world have united to guard the last piece of land. The people of this continent are now called Noah."

"In the past 50 years, countless theories and conjectures have been put forward. Some people say that this kind of fog is a curse to mankind and a punishment from heaven to mankind, because humans in the past always waged wars, and others say that this is a kind of natural disaster theory, this is just a natural phenomenon..."

"The composition of this fog is completely beyond human cognition. Whether it is light, sound, radio waves, or other detection methods, it cannot penetrate this fog. No one knows whether behind this fog, other countries that were swallowed up a hundred years ago still exist..."

"According to experts, the probability of them surviving in the fog is extremely low, because this fog is fatal whether it is inhaled into the lungs or comes into contact with the surface of the skin...!"

"In the past hundred years, Noah's government has sent countless well-equipped exploration teams into the fog, but no one has come back."

"Forty years ago, Noah's government spent a lot of resources to develop a satellite and successfully launched it. Judging from the pictures and images transmitted back from space, the entire earth has turned gray, leaving only Noah as a pure land."

"Noah now is like an island on this planet, and we...may be the last survivors of this planet."

"Therefore, the day when the fog appears, which is December 12 every year, is called the 'Festival of Dawn'."

...

After 3 hours, today's class is over.

Yaso said to Elena: "Teacher Elena, can you push me out for a walk?"

"It's too stuffy at home."

"Of course you can. You should have gone out to see more. This is good for your body and mentality."Elena said with a smile.

"Then let's go for a walk in the park."Yaso said.

Leaving the bustling street, Elena pushed Yaso's wheelchair to a park near the old district of Green City. At the end of the park is an old town.

"Teacher Elena, you said...is it possible that the fog will recover again and swallow Noah?""Yaso sat in a wheelchair and turned his head curiously and asked.

"Didn't you listen to those experts?The probability of the fog's recovery is very small. Perhaps there will be no changes in the last hundred years. As for what will happen in a hundred years...Anyway, it is impossible for us to live at that time. Why do you worry so much?"Elena rolled her eyes.

"It's not that you don't know. What those experts say is the most unreliable. If my legs can walk and I haven't enjoyed life well, the fog will swallow the whole Noah, wouldn't I be too unlucky?"Yaso said.

"So you should live a good life now, and now our lives are hard to come by."Elena walked up to Yaso and said solemnly, "I have to remind you that you have to study hard and strive for a good university so that Mei's effort is worth it. If you don't take the exam well this time, Mei will be very sad.""

"Got it, got it."Yaso smiled.

"However, I really don't think the fog can recover again."Elena spoke suddenly.

"After all, fog is nothing more than a natural phenomenon. After reaching a certain critical level, it will gradually subside, just like the Ice Age. When the glacier covers the earth, it will slowly subside as the temperature rises, and a new era will follow."

"Then what if...this fog is not a natural phenomenon?"Yaso asked.

Elena was stunned, then smiled and said, "Yaso, you don't really believe the remarks of those so-called theologians, think this fog is related to supernatural forces, right?"

"It's the 21st century. We have to believe in science. There are not so many mysterious things in the world."Elena said.

Yaso did not answer. Is there anything in this world beyond science? He knows best, such as his dreams and the strange things that happened to him ten years ago, but there is no need to tell Elena about these things. .

"Why are you saying so many useless things? These things are not what we should care about. Instead of worrying about whether the fog will recover here, it's better to wait for you to be admitted to university."Elena smiled.

...***

The old town of Green City.

A man carrying a backpack and holding a strange totem walked unhurriedly on the lonely and dim street. The old street lights shed dim light, constantly stretching his back....

The man glanced at his mobile phone, walked to a narrow street entrance, and stopped.

"This is it..."

He put down the totem on his shoulder and straightened it.

Under the flashing street lights, flickering runes appeared on the totem. Then, he took out a sign from his backpack. The handwriting in red letters on it was very eye-catching!

——Forbidden territory!

The man leaned against the streetlight, lit a cigarette for himself, took a hard breath, and turned on the headset.

"Captain, all the no-go cards have been put away, have you started to act?"

"Roger that, start acting! ."

"Action! ."

The man was smoking a cigarette in his mouth and walked to the sign. He stretched out his hand and bit his thumb!

Then the man squatted down, and blood drew a long horizontal line on the sign of "Forbidden Territory"!

His eyes were very serious, and an inexplicable momentum broke out with him as the center!

He looked up at the black night sky and said in a voice that only he could hear.:

"Psionic: [Space hidden]."

The next moment, the bright red blood on the sign in front of him faded rapidly, as if it had been absorbed, and then, the "Forbidden Zone" sign emitted a dazzling red light!

Then gradually return to the original state.

The man sat on the ground with his buttocks, took a long breath of relief, and spoke with some complaints.

"Damn, psychological power is exhausted again..."

At this moment, if someone looks down at Green City from the sky, they will find that near the old town, there is a red light flashing, and then with this light as the apex, a bright red square is quickly outlined!

Now the square was formed, the covered half of the old city seemed to be erased from the earth, and everything was hidden and could no longer be seen with the naked eye....

And the person standing in the square, the old town is still the old town.

At the same time, in the center of the square, six people wearing black cloaks swept across the sky like lightning!

The man in the lead looked up at the dark red sky, stretched out his hand and held the handle of the knife behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The ghost and beast clearance operation has begun."
