I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

convenience store.

Eye-catching discount posters are posted on the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a 24-hour business logo at the door, and a variety of products are placed on rows of shelves.

There are no employees in the store, just three automatic cash registers.

This is an unmanned convenience store.

He Xinjie was standing in front of the potato chip shelf. He had a fresh wound on his forehead, with a little blood oozing out. There were obvious bruises on his cheeks and left cheek, and there were a few scratches on the back of his hands. If he looked closer, he could see that he was stained. His navy blue uniform was dusty here and there, and was covered with traces of injuries.

At this moment, his muscles were tense, his legs were slightly apart, and he stood in the most stable posture. Then he slowly stretched out his palm and very carefully picked up a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips.

During the whole process, He Xinjie watched in all directions and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

After taking a while to take the potato chips out of the shelf, he carefully tore open the package bit by bit, picked up a potato chip, slowly put it into his mouth, and ate it very carefully and as if walking on thin ice.

In the convenience store, the crisp sound of chewing suddenly sounded.

Two days ago, He Xinjie bought something at this convenience store. When he was about to go back, he fell down unluckily and hit his head on the steel pipe of the shelf, causing him to pass out.

After waking up, he immediately contacted the people in the bureau, but was told that a [Murphy's Law] incident had broken out in the entire Binhai City!

The higher the "digital ladder" of a compatible person, the more exaggerated [Murphy's Law] they will encounter.

An ordinary person like him would just have much worse luck than usual.

As long as you are careful enough, nothing will happen for the time being.

However, according to the speculation of people from relevant departments in the bureau, this phenomenon will become more and more serious in the next few days.

Now the bureau has requested reinforcements from above, and notified all ordinary people who are not compatible, whether at home or elsewhere, try to stay where they are, don't run around, don't do anything unnecessary, in order to Possible reduction of accidents.

Therefore, He Xinjie has been staying in this convenience store during this time.

This kind of unmanned convenience store has experienced hundreds of years of changes, and its decoration, design, and layout are very mature.

In order to prevent children from accidentally entering and playing around, or some people can't think about it, all the shelves are welded to the ground. Even if an adult man shakes them desperately, they will not fall down; all water and electricity lines can be They have withstood a certain degree of earthquake and fire tests, and are all arranged in locations that are impossible to touch under normal circumstances; even the display of goods ensures that they will not accidentally fall down due to any accident and injure customers.

During this time, he was the only one in the entire shop.

Therefore, the most accidents he encountered were falling while walking. The numerous scars on his body were all caused by falling during this period.

Just as he was thinking about it, He Xinjie suddenly choked on his potato chips and burst out into a violent cough: "Cough cough cough cough..."

After a while, he finally coughed up the potato chips that were stuck in his trachea. After taking a breath, he subconsciously turned around and wanted to get some water from the shelf behind him. However, as soon as his body moved, he suddenly realized that he had just The convenience store, which was still empty, was filled with figures at some unknown time.

These figures are tall, short, fat and thin, and are wearing a variety of clothes. Judging from the silhouette, there are men and women, and most of them have blond, red or brown hair, and only a few have the familiar black hair.

The only thing they have in common is that they all have blue-black skin and pale eyes.

Roar! ! !

The zombies roared and rushed towards He Xinjie.

Under the shade of the sycamore tree, Zhou Zhen stood on the sidewalk, staring through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the convenience store diagonally opposite.

It's Uncle He!

He immediately started to walk towards the convenience store, but soon stopped.

TFZ2342 has not yet begun to take effect. In this state, compatible people below the "Sixth Step" will be infected by him, and Uncle He is not even a compatible person, he is just an ordinary person, and he cannot get close to him!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen frowned and immediately took out his cell phone to call He Xinjie.

He took out his phone and was about to unlock it, but found that the time on the screen that had been fixed at 15:02 finally moved. The time jumped directly to 15:07. In the blink of an eye, 5 minutes passed!

Zhou Zhen immediately realized something was wrong and suddenly heard a shrill scream.

He suddenly looked up and found that He Xinjie, who had been very normal just now in the convenience store, now raised his hands and clutched his throat, showing an expression of extreme pain. The uniform on his body was quickly stretched open, and rectangular bodies grew out. Cylinder, triangle, irregular body...

The environment inside the convenience store has also undergone tremendous changes. Just now, it was a store with clear windows and neat furnishings. Now, the shelves that are fixed to the ground and have many protective measures seem to have been hit by a car. They are swaying around and products are scattered all over the floor. , I don’t know if it was a drink or some other liquid that had its packaging broken, and a layer of colorful water pooled on the ground.

The whole shop was in a mess, as if the people inside had just gone through a very fierce fight.

Zhou Zhen's eyes widened immediately. Is this the plot of the movie Luo Yuchen mentioned? !

But, he didn't see any zombies!

Moreover, he could only see the beginning and the end, and skipped the five minutes in between!

Even if TFZ2342 had taken effect, he was too late to save Uncle He just now!

Unless, "Digital Rain" is willing to take action!

Various thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and Zhou Zhen acted without delay. Seeing that He Xinjie still had a breath left, he immediately used [Plane Jump] and appeared at the door of the convenience store in an instant.

boom!

Zhou Zhen had no time to open the door, so he punched the glass of the convenience store, then quickly rushed in, grabbed He Xinjie's shoulders, pulled him and ran out.

Step, step, step...

Heavy footsteps echoed on the empty street. Soon, the two ran a distance, leaving the convenience store behind.

Seeing He Xinjie's condition getting worse and worse, with more and more rectangles, cylinders, triangles, irregular bodies growing on his body, Zhou Zhen frowned. He didn't have the "digital domain" for treatment, so he thought There is only one way to save the other party...start the "equation separation surgery" immediately!

So Zhou Zhen took a deep breath and took out the special scalpel.

"Uncle He, I am Zhou Zhen."

"Now I say, listen!"

"Just remember what I said now."

"I will perform an operation on you first. If it succeeds, you can be saved."

"But if you fail, I will kill you directly!"

"However, you won't really die, but will transform into a part of my 'number'."

"Maybe one day in the future, you will have hope to live again!"

With that said, he immediately put He Xinjie's body on the ground, and then tore He Xinjie's uniform apart.

At this time, He Xinjie's chest and abdomen were already like mushrooms after the rain, covered with large and small rectangles, cylinders, triangles, and irregular bodies... These cubes were still growing and getting bigger. With their appearance, He Xinjie's life quickly passed away.

Feeling the critical situation of He Xinjie at this moment, Zhou Zhen looked extremely solemn.

He currently has no equipment, especially the lack of a high-dimensional sound wave converter. The possibility of successful surgery is infinitely close to zero!

However, just when he was about to start the operation, He Xinjie suddenly released his hand from covering his throat, hugged Zhou Zhen, and bit him hard on the neck!

boom!

The next moment, an energy beam slashed out like a lightsaber and instantly penetrated He Xinjie's entire body.

"Digital Domain", [Fusion Cube]!

He Xinjie's entire body was reduced to ashes, leaving no trace on the spot. Only a handful of ashes slowly floated down from the air and landed on Zhou Zhen's hair and shoulders.

Zhou Zhen slowly retracted his hand and stood up expressionlessly.

Uncle He is gone...

Maybe this result was expected, but he found that besides being confused, he didn't feel sad at all.

After spending two seconds to adjust his condition, Zhou Zhen put away the scalpel and continued walking towards the underground morgue in Dengming District.

Binhai Art Institute.

In a fan-shaped office, Shi Xiaoli stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. This was the fifth floor, overlooking part of the campus. Neatly trimmed embroidery flower beds cut several winding paths into the originally square space.

At this moment, the path was empty and not a single person could be seen.

The Art Institute has gone on holiday, and there are very few teachers and students still on campus. She has been standing here for a while, but she didn't see anyone passing by.

Behind her, the ceiling, chandeliers, floors, wallpapers...all the details can be seen. It was originally a tasteful Italian-style room.

But now, the entire room was empty, almost empty except for a desk, a chair, and a sleeping bag in the corner.

This office was originally a dedicated office for a lecturer named "Guo Minyan". However, due to the case some time ago, which may involve a "digital virus", the School of Art attaches great importance to it. In addition, this lecturer Guo happened to be on long leave, so After discussion, the college leaders specially set aside this office, which is relatively close to the girls' dormitory, for Shi Xiaoli's use.

However, now that the whole city is under the threat of [Murphy's Law], the case of candid photography at the art school suddenly becomes irrelevant.

Of course, also because of [Murphy's Law], Shi Xiaoli can only stay in this college temporarily and dare not go out casually.

Unlike ordinary people, she is a "digital compatibility". Although the ladder is not high, she encounters many more accidents and is more dangerous than ordinary people!

This is also the reason why this office is now empty. All potentially dangerous items, whether they are items that increase the quality of life such as electric kettles and coffee machines, or decorative furnishings such as sculptures and ornaments, have been cleared out by her. .

Looking out the window at the clear sky as usual, Shi Xiaoli felt very heavy. She didn't know how far the rescue above had progressed, nor how this city-wide [Murphy's Law] situation would end. When would she be able to Reunion with her family, especially her children, who are still very young...

While he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door behind him.

Boom, boom, boom!

Shi Xiaoli came back to her senses instantly, turned around suddenly, looked at the door, with a vigilant expression, but said in a very calm tone: "The door is unlocked, come in!"

The door was immediately pushed open, and a beautiful girl who was eye-catching walked in gracefully.

She is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with waist-length hair without any decoration, as if a piece of fine silk is draped behind her head. Her delicate facial features seem to be the masterpiece of a skilled painter, especially her eyes, which are like falling on black velvet. The broken diamonds are as cold as electricity, and their gaze frightens the soul.

The girl wears a very simple pink T-shirt and blue jeans. The simple attire does not hide her tall figure, light steps, full of elegance in her movements, and her temperament is bright and free.

Seeing this girl, Shi Xiaoli was suddenly startled.

During this time, she has been investigating cases in the girls' dormitory of the Art Institute, and has met almost every girl.

As early as when she just followed up on this case, she noticed a problem.

In the entire girls' dormitory, I couldn't find a particularly good-looking girl.

But now, the girl in front of her is far more beautiful than ordinary people. She has an appearance that can truly reduce the dimensionality of what amateurs call beauties. She is a level higher than all the girls Shi Xiaoli has seen during this period!

This is the kind of beautiful girl an art academy should be!

Just when Shi Xiaoli was stunned, this beautiful girl had walked not far away from her and asked: "Hello, teacher, is Teacher Guo here?"

"Something was stolen in my dormitory. Please go over and take a look, Teacher Guo."

Hearing this, Shi Xiaoli calmed down and immediately said seriously: "This classmate, [Murphy's Law] is very serious in the city now."

"We can't handle this small matter of losing something for you at the moment."

"In emergency situations, lives are at stake."

"Don't run around, otherwise, accidents may easily happen!"

Hearing this, the beautiful girl had no intention of settling the matter and leaving the office. Instead, she smiled brightly, like a spring flower blooming, and said in a very serious tone: "Teacher, you are really scary!"

"What was stolen from me was a big red dress."

"This is a coming-of-age gift from my parents and it has a special meaning to me."

"So I want to ask the teacher to go to the dormitory to help me find out who did it?"

"If Teacher Guo is not here, other teachers will do."

Having said this, the beautiful girl paused, then looked at Shi Xiaoli with a suspicious expression, "Teacher, I don't think I have seen you before..."

"Are you really a teacher in our school?"
