"Huh? Really? Doesn't he look quite normal?"

Lin Sakiyu was also extremely surprised and a little bit unable to believe it.

"Of course it was normal before this problem occurred."

Liao Kai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it up and took a puff and said.

"Nonsense, Xiaoqiu is fine! How can she be sick?"

After hearing this, Granny Wang made an unceremonious defense.

"Ahem, mother-in-law, this is a record entered into the medical system. There can't be any mistakes."

Liao Kai explained helplessly.

"I don't want to listen to that. We know whether Xiaoqiu is sick or not. I guess it's your messy organizations that messed it up. Isn't it just to make more money? Don't you think we don't know? You can't be so conscienceless. A good young man, because of you guys, it's hard for him to find a job or a girl. Do you know how pitiful it is?"

Granny Wang became angrier and angrier as she spoke.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu quickly started to persuade him.

"Don't say anything, Granny Wang. This is nothing."

Others don’t know what’s going on, but Shen Qiu himself is very clear about his own condition.

When Granny Wang heard Shen Qiu say this, she stopped complaining.

Liao Kai was also ashamed, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Haha, let's not talk about that, let's deal with the business first."

Only then did everyone at the scene shift their attention back to the giant mosquito that had been killed. The kitchen knife hit it right in the head, almost cutting it in half, and bright red blood splattered all over the ground.

"Oh my goodness, it's not even April yet and the mosquitoes have grown this big?"

"You are getting old and confused. Mosquitoes in certain months cannot grow this big. This can even break the world record."

"If this person gets bitten, wouldn't it be very sour and refreshing?"

"Go, stop joking and be serious."

The neighbors present at the scene were also pointing at the corpse.

Some people even picked up their phones and spoke with curiosity.

"Let's take a picture."

Liao Kai saw people watching the scene, some of whom picked up their phones to take pictures, so he quickly stopped them.

“No photos allowed.”

“Why can’t we shoot?”

Some people at the scene asked without quite understanding.

"You can't take photos, that's it. If you don't listen to the advice and take photos privately, your phone will be confiscated at the least, and you will be fined at the worst. If you deliberately spread panic, you will be detained as an administrative penalty."

An inhuman voice came along with the sound of footsteps.

Shen Qiu's brows twitched slightly, then he turned his head and looked over, only to see three men wearing black striped uniforms with a conspicuous KPI logo on the chest of their clothes, holding G36 automatic rifles in their hands and with sharp eyes.

Instantly, everyone present was stunned.

When Liao Kai saw the three people, he immediately saluted.

"Sir!"

The leading captain glanced at Liao Kai and then spoke.

"KPI personnel are on duty, all irrelevant personnel are to return home, and discussion and dissemination of what happened tonight is strictly prohibited."

Everyone present turned around and left obediently. Shen Qiu did not stay either and went straight back to his house.

He closed the door, went into the bedroom and turned on the computer.

Shen Qiu opened the browser and kept entering keywords to search for things related to the mutation.

After searching around, I found nothing.

Even the posts on the Haiyin platform that originally discussed the Red Skull could no longer be found.

There is peace on the virtual network.

But in this peaceful environment, Shen Qiu felt the situation was increasingly serious.

Shen Qiu pondered for a few minutes, then opened a hidden software on the computer.

"Selecting network service terminal."

"The selection was successful and a new network channel is being established."

"Second network connection successful."

Shen Qiu then entered a series of very complex virtual addresses, and the page changed immediately.

“Welcome to Dark Pupil. Through dark eyes, witness the unknown world.”

Darkong is a shady website. Shen Qiu used to go to some controversial areas to participate in some special extreme sports, and he often went to this website to collect information.

Of course, Shen Qiu couldn't guarantee that this website had the information he wanted, but he had to give it a try.

When Shen Qiu opened the interface and saw the posts inside, his expression suddenly tensed up.

He quickly read the public free information. Of course, some information required payment, but free was enough for the time being.

Tick-tock, tick-tock

There is a retro clock on the wall, and its hands keep moving.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed. Shen Qiu leaned back in his chair with an ugly look on his face.

From the Dark Eyes website, Shen Qiu roughly understood the current situation.

Abnormal phenomena are now occurring all over the world, with many people disappearing out of nowhere. According to incomplete and conservative statistics, the number of missing people is at least over 10 million.

As far as we know, the first missing person to return was a retired non-commissioned officer named Cardin from the Blue Alliance.

According to him, he was having dinner in a restaurant that day when he inexplicably appeared in a primeval forest that blocked the sky. He then saw many plants and animals he had never seen before, and finally came out inexplicably.

The total time of disappearance was 1 hour and 21 minutes.

Subsequently, a large number of missing persons began to return. According to reliable sources, most of these missing persons described the places where they appeared in very different ways, with only a small number of them being the same.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the abnormal phenomena, it can be basically confirmed that the time of disappearance of all the people was between 6 pm and 6 am.

At the same time, the missing persons returned during this period.

And some of these people who came back had their bodies mutated. It is said that they unlocked different abilities, and these people are collectively called awakened ones.

The worst thing is that some of these mutated people have lost control and are said to have turned into all kinds of brutal monsters.

These out-of-control mutants are collectively referred to as disqualified ones.

At this time, Shen Qiu's expression was constantly changing, and he kept muttering the word "mutation".

According to the information disclosed on the Dark Eyes website, those people mutated because they went to different worlds, and he also went there.

Could it have mutated too

Not sure if it was due to psychological problems or some other reason, Shen Qiu felt a little uncomfortable and had a stomachache.

He quickly took off his shirt and checked his body to see if there was anything unusual on his skin.

But after checking for a long time, nothing abnormal was found.

However, Shen Qiu's stomach was getting more and more painful, so painful that his brows were furrowed.

He held his stomach and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to the toilet.

Crash~

The night was long. Through the window, one could see Shen Qiu's room, which was brightly lit all night.

Creak! The door opens!

Shen Qiu's lips turned pale, he held his stomach, hunched over, and walked out step by step with weak legs and feet.

He walked out of the community with difficulty and headed towards the 24-hour clinic near the street.
