, looking across the traffic and crowds outside the square—they seemed unaware of the horrific scene in the square.
His nose moved, and he frowned when he smelled the strong smell of water: "Is it illusion?"
"It's rat miasma." @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Ying Qiao raised his hand and squeezed his five fingers together, a gray drop of water floated in his palm. The drop of water stood still at first, but after Ying Qiao slowly retracted his five fingers, it left like a living thing. He rushed to the right, trying to escape from Ying Qiao's palm.
If you listen carefully, you can hear an extremely subtle sound like a mouse squeaking in the water drop,
Ying Qiao squeezed her five fingers together, and then spread her hands apart, the gray water drops disappeared, leaving only the strong smell of water in the air.
The author has something to say:
Bi An: It’s just a door-to-door son-in-law, and he won’t be crazy for a few days :)
Longlong: Heh

Make up for yesterday's second update.
I can't believe it, I wrote the last thousand words for more than two hours orz
Chapter 144
Rat miasma is refined from the corpses and souls of countless rats, supplemented by the miasma of the deep swamp. The refining process is bloody and cruel, maximizing the resentment of the rats, making their crushed souls merge with the miasma.
They are between living and dead things, and they can sneak in like the most common mist when they are disguised. They seem to be harmless, but in fact, after the rat miasma enters the body, it will kill people unconsciously. Assimilation, first the appearance becomes like a mouse, and then the temperament unknowingly becomes as cunning and greedy as a mouse. They will hunt around under the influence of rat miasma. After hunting enough food, the assimilated Humans will gradually degenerate into rats, and then they will be absorbed by rat miasma as nutrients, waiting for the next time they are released, and will be processed according to the law for the next assimilation.
The rat miasma is controlled by the refiner, and the people or monsters assimilated by the rat miasma will also be controlled by the refiner like puppets.
This kind of unorthodox art, the refining method is cumbersome and complicated, and there are not many people who understand it.
Ying Qiao had only seen it in ancient books before, but she didn't expect to run into it when she went shopping casually.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the normal people who had not been assimilated in panic and fled in the square. Some of them tried to escape from the square to ask for help, but found that they could not get out of the square anyway, and could only lie on the edge of the square, crying out in despair; some were forced to retreat by assimilated relatives and friends Backing away, I could only fight back with tears in my eyes; some had collapsed in panic and collapsed on the ground, unable to even escape, and could only watch the Ratmen approaching step by step, eating their own flesh and blood...
This leisure plaza originally had a lot of people, and with the public welfare activities tonight, it attracted countless fans and passers-by. It is conservatively estimated that there are nearly a thousand people present. And at least three quarters of the people who were silently assimilated by rat miasma. They are unaware of their huge rat heads, their soybean-sized red eyes reveal their desire for food, their pointed mouths are open, and stinky saliva flows from the corners of their mouths...
Ying Qiao frowned uncomfortably, looked at the rat people who were gradually approaching them, and thought about the solution.
The ancient books only briefly mentioned the horror of rat miasma, but did not mention the method of cracking it. I don't know if the person who wrote the book didn't know, or there is no way to crack it at all.
"What should we do now? Find a way to send news to the bureau first?" The rat miasma formed an enchantment, completely blocking the signals from the outside world.
Jiang Greed protected his younger brothers and retreated, frowning in embarrassment.
All kinds of monsters and ghosts are easy to deal with, the worst is to swallow them in one gulp. But these are not demons and ghosts. A few minutes ago, they were still living people.
Even now, although they looked like ratmen, they might not really be monsters.
Jiang Greed kept his hands aside, only fending off the attacking Ratmen, hesitating not to make a real move.
"The time is probably too late. If it drags on for a long time, these people may not be able to be rescued at all." It is still necessary for them to think of ways to save people as much as possible.
Ying Qiao looked at the layout of the square. Looking for a place where ordinary people can be temporarily placed.
This leisure plaza covers a large area. In addition to basic fitness equipment, there are also many antique pavilions, rockery and flying stones for pedestrians to rest and play.
He took a fancy to an octagonal pavilion on a rockery, pointed to the pavilion and said, "You take Jiang Chi and the others there, and then bring those ordinary people who have not been assimilated there to settle temporarily, and I will deal with them and find their loopholes. "
His cold eyes glanced around, the surrounding area of the square was blocked by rat miasma, although it seemed to be connected to the outside world, it was actually a place of its own.
These assimilated ratmen are continuously being sucked to feed back the enchantment formed by the rat miasma, and the enchantment is constantly producing miasma, which completely assimilates these ordinary people into their own kind more deeply and faster. A closed loop was formed between entering and exiting, forcibly binding the lives of these hundreds of people with the barrier.

The barrier cannot be broken by force. If it is broken by force, the hundreds of people who have been assimilated will have no chance of survival.
The other party expected that they would have scruples, so they recklessly chose the location in a square with a lot of traffic.
This interlocking calculation does not seem to be done unintentionally, but more like it was prepared.
I just don't know if they just ran into each other by chance, or if they were deliberately targeted long ago and fell into the trap unprepared.
On the other side, Jiang Greed led Jiang Chi and the others, fighting and retreating to the Bajiao Pavilion. He described it as a bit embarrassing. These rat people only had instincts left, and they became very ferocious. Their movements were no longer sluggish and slow than ordinary people. Instead, they were flexible and agile, just like cunning mice. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Jiang Greed wanted to get those ordinary people who hadn't been assimilated and already terrified to get up and walk with him, but at the same time he had to control his strength and try not to cause fatal injuries to the ferocious ratmen.
This is a bit difficult for Taotie, who has always been simple and rough in fighting.
He soon became impatient, and searched around with his eyes. He pulled up two small trees of suitable thickness from the flower bed, quickly cleaned up the branches, and used them as weapons to block the ratmen who rushed forward. open.
Seeing this, Jiuding and the three cubs who were guarded behind him eagerly wanted to help.
Three small cubs and an immature Jiu Ding got together and quickly discussed the division of labor. Jiu Ding guarded Jiang Li's rear and immediately helped him fend off the Ratman who was attacking from the side and rear. Jiaotu directly transformed into a human form, pulling up those ordinary people who were paralyzed to the ground and couldn't recover from the fright, and let them follow him.
These people were all terrified, their hands and feet were soft, and some of them were bitten off by the rat man, and their faces were grim in pain.
But seeing that the two young children were not afraid, the one with a stronger desire to survive gritted his teeth and followed behind.
They gathered more and more ordinary people, and many of them were wounded. The fresh blood stimulated the Ratmen, and they rushed up desperately like sharks smelling fishy.
Jiang Greed and Jiu Ding stood in front of them, and occasionally a few of them crossed the front line of defense without warning, and they would be severely beaten by the vigilant Jiang Chi with a baseball bat.
He picked up the baseball bat. Jiang Chi ate and drank well during this time, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger. Even the horns on his head were shiny. Panting slightly, he held the baseball bat tightly to guard the second line of defense. The intense action made his heart beat faster, and a strange and indescribable feeling filled his limbs and bones, making his tense nerves more and more excited.
There seemed to be a voice in my mind constantly clamoring, kill, keep killing.
His eyes were slightly congested and red, his fingers trembled slightly due to emotional agitation, and even his spirit was slightly in a trance.
"Jiang Chi, be careful to the left!" Jiao Tu's cry suddenly pulled him back from his chaotic thoughts.
Jiang Chi was startled and woke up instantly. His body instinctively lowered himself to fight back, and knocked back the sneak attacking Ratman.
He shook his head vigorously, clenched the baseball bat tightly, ignored the bewitching voice, and his expression gradually became firm.
…
They fought and retreated, protecting the remaining ordinary people and going up to the octagonal pavilion.
The octagonal pavilion is built on a rockery. The rockery is not high, but it has the advantage of being high, with a good view and better defense.
Ordinary people gathered in the octagonal pavilion in shock, looked at the calm Jiang Li, and bravely mustered up the courage to ask.
Jiang Greed couldn't explain the reason to them, and since such a large-scale event was involved, these people would definitely be hypnotized to tamper with their memories in the end, and it would be useless to explain it now.
He pondered for a moment, and gave a more calming statement: "I have already called the police, and we will know what's going on when the police arrive. We just need to persist until the police arrive."
Probably because of their innate trust in the state apparatus, or their desire for life, these people who were still in shock gradually calmed down, and the uninjured men mustered up their courage and spontaneously stood with the defending Jiang Chi and the others.
There were hordes of Ratmen in the square, and a few ordinary people who hadn't made it in time to keep up with the big team were hiding in panic.
Ying Qiao is dealing with the Ratmen, holding back half of the Ratmen by himself, and should still be looking for a way to break it.
Jiang Li looked at the people below, and asked Jiuding and the others to guard the Octagonal Pavilion, and he went down to bring back the other people who were alone.
He jumped off the rockery and walked towards the stage—he saw that there seemed to be a few ordinary people hiding there.
The rat people were controlled by their appetites, and they had no sense of fear. When they saw him, they rushed forward without thinking about their own safety. don't look around
