Apocalypse Forecast

Inside the Special Affairs Office, it was silent.

”Is that all? ”

Ai Qing, sitting on a wheelchair, looked at the sweating man behind the desk.
”You ’re telling me that ’s all you got from two people? ”

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

”There ’s nothing we can do.
We only got a few side shots from the surveillance cameras on the road, and they were wearing masks.
As for this photo… ”

The man looked at the photo of the prisoner tied to a chair on the table and rubbed his temples, pointing to the nose and cheekbone area.
”There are obvious signs of plastic surgery here, and it was recent.
It won ’t be easy to find out who they are. ”

”If things were that easy in the world, there would have been peace a long time ago. ”

Ai Qing was not impressed with the excuse that had no logical reasoning.
She pointed to the white powder in the plastic bag on the table.
”What about this? Any new leads? ”

”Um… ” The man seemed hesitant to speak.

”Is that so? ” Ai Qing sounded disappointed.
”If New Hai ’s power is too elusive, then I ’ll have to report it to the Astronomy Association… ”

But if the lid were to be lifted, something not so pleasant might come out.

”Cough, no, that ’s not what I meant. ” The unlucky guy who was clearly being pushed to take the blame quickly waved his hands, not daring to have any mercenary intentions.
”It ’s not that we ’re not cooperating.
It ’s just that this kind of unconventional hallucinogen mixed with source material is too common, and we can ’t trace where it came from.
The part that affects people inside it mainly comes from the source material, but too many border relics can produce this kind of thing, and the composition changes too easily.
There are dozens of types that have been circulating in the market, and if we could access the Astronomy Association ’s banned drug database, there might be tens of thousands of them.
In the end, the abilities of Sublimators and those hellish creatures are too unpredictable, and we ’re really powerless against them. ”

The man wiping his sweat had already surrendered.

”Since you ’re so powerless, why bother dragging it out? ” Ai Qing withdrew her gaze disappointedly and prepared to leave.
The man breathed a sigh of relief.

But after pushing the door open, Ai Qing turned back suddenly and asked, ”Since there are so many places where you ’re powerless, when you ’re needed, you won ’t refuse, right? ”

”…Right, that ’s correct. ”The man behind the desk was stunned for a while, then couldn ’t help cursing the waste of space who ate free meals in his stomach, and secretly made a note of the debt.
He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, ”We will definitely cooperate fully. ”

”That ’s great. ”

The door closed.

…

”Music! ”

In the dimly lit private room, two figures were cuddling on the sofa, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
One of them raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
In the corner, Huai Shi, expressionless, numbly picked up his qin.

In his backpack, the book of fate recorded without emotion: on the first day of working with Liu Dongli, he asked me to play the qin for him.
I ’ll remember this grudge.

Yes, this was Huai Shi ’s first day as a prostitute.

To survive, he had fallen from being an elegant cellist to being Liu Dongli ’s personal BGM player.
They were a duo, one selling his body, the other selling his art.
With his hair permed into three curls and a V-neck jacket, he was on his way to becoming a superstar prostitute…
or so he thought.

Why did everyone else get to be a bodyguard, but he had to be a prostitute ’s bodyguard?

Sleeping in the same house was bad enough, but they had to work together too!

Was it really necessary?

If it weren ’t for the danger to his life and the 800 yuan daily salary from Ai Qing, he would have quit long ago.

Until this matter was resolved, he was afraid he would be tied to this prostitute.

Huai Shi ’s requirements were not high: he would take the blame, and the prostitute could die.

Once this matter was resolved, they would go their separate ways, pretending nothing had happened, and never have any involvement with each other again.
That would be the best.

After he got rid of that damn crow, he could start his life anew, using the activated golden finger to reach the pinnacle of life, marry a rich and beautiful woman, count money until dozens of printing machines broke down, become famous until he could turn into a beautiful girl and enter the gacha…

In the midst of his unrealistic fantasies, his sensitive hearing suddenly picked up a suppressed sob from the sofa.

In the midst of alcohol and sorrowful cello music, the woman who had been leaning on Liu Dongli ’s chest couldn ’t help but cry out her sadness, holding Liu Dongli ’s hand and saying, ”In my heart, I always, always thought of you as my son…
I ’m sorry, I ’ve been hiding it from you.
If my son were still alive, he would definitely be as old as you… ”

As Huai Shi stifled a chuckle, Liu Dongli ’s business smile became stiff.Finally, after he sent the client away, Huai Shi returned and saw the mocking expression on Liu Dongli ’s face.

”Yi– ”

Huai Shi looked at him and couldn ’t help but exclaim, ”Is this the taste of the legendary prostitution? ”

”Bullshit! ” Liu Dongli rolled his eyes, ”It ’s more like the smell of Osmanthus! I ’ve slept with her so many times, even had a son with her! ”

”Tsk tsk, shouldn ’t you be comforting lonely women and bringing warmth to them? Then I could also have a better impression of prostitution… ” Huai Shi said, looking at him with pity.

”I suspect there ’s something wrong with you. ” Liu Dongli looked at him with a sideways glance and pointed to his head.
”No matter how good you say it, prostitution is just about selling smiles and flesh.
There ’s nothing high and mighty about it. ”

”But I saw that you were quite happy doing it, ” Huai Shi said, still calm.
”Do you like older women? ”

”Bullshit! ”

Liu Dongli looked at him disdainfully.
”Do you think everyone is as poor as you and on the verge of bankruptcy? Back then, I could just say a number and earn 40 million in a few days with this face…
”

”And then what? ” Huai Shi asked.

”…And then I got caught. ” Liu Dongli said dryly.
”That woman caught me herself.
Later, she said that since you like to use your face to cheat women out of their money so much, you might as well become a prostitute.
When you pay back the money you cheated from me, you ’ll be free. ”

Huai Shi was stunned.
”So you really became a prostitute? ”

”Otherwise, what? Sent to the border? My ability doesn ’t work on anything other than humans.
If I go there, I ’ll die. ” Liu Dongli smoked his cigarette in frustration.
”If someone puts a gun in your mouth, would you shake your head? I was so scared that I almost peed myself! ”

Hearing this, Huai Shi became curious and asked in a low voice, ”Didn ’t you use your ability at that time? ”

Liu Dongli ’s expression became even more dejected.
”I used it, but it was useless. ”

”Did you use it or not? ”

”I did, but it didn ’t work. ” Liu Dongli shook his head in defeat.
”Later, I kept thinking that my ability worked.
When I used it to escape, she should have been crazy in love with me…
It ’s so ridiculous, isn ’t it? Her name is Ai Qing, but love is worth nothing to her. ”Huai Shi compared the woman he had seen a few days ago and was a little surprised: ”Are you describing humans or Godzilla? ”

Finally, Liu Dongli looked at him as if he were an idiot: ”Are you kidding me? She is the head of the Astronomy Society in Xin Hai and has the power to temporarily make all Sublimators work for her as a review officer.
Compared to her, Godzilla is nothing.
If you offend Godzilla, you will just die miserably.
If you offend her, you will be worse off than death! ”

While they were talking, they had already walked out of the club ’s back door and were walking on the street, looking for a place to eat dinner.

Liu Dongli treated him to dinner.
He couldn ’t stand Huai Shi ’s family ’s boiled noodles anymore.

”If I don ’t eat some meat soon, my abs will start to digest themselves…
How about we go eat hot pot? ” Liu Dongli said, patting his stomach like a flirt.

Huai Shi glanced at him and said ominously, ”I heard that eating too much hot pot will make your butt hurt. ”

Liu Dongli was stunned, but then realized that there was a hidden meaning in Huai Shi ’s words.
He couldn ’t help but kick him hard.

In the end, they both had indigestion and went home after hastily eating a bowl of noodles.
Liu Dongli complained that walking was too tiring and shouted that he would drive tomorrow.

”I mean, it ’s already midnight. ”

Huai Shi yawned as they walked on the road.
”Can ’t you finish work earlier? Bro, I ’m only seventeen this year and I ’m still growing! ”

”Is that so? I think you ’re already pretty developed.
Where else do you want to grow? ” Liu Dongli sneered.
”Besides, where can a prostitute work during the day? Because of you, I skipped the second half of my night shift today. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed a few fingers together, making Huai Shi think about how much he could earn from his performance tonight.

Huai Shi ’s expression suddenly became strange.
He looked at Liu Dongli for a long time and suddenly asked, ”Does this count as me advising you to turn over a new leaf? ”

”Get lost! ”

While they were chatting on the road, Huai Shi heard the sound of flapping wings and saw a black crow land on a tree in front of them, looking back at him.

For some reason, Huai Shi suddenly felt a chill.

Under the crow ’s hint, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
At the end of the quiet street in the suburbs, illuminated by dim streetlights, a hunched figure was silently crouching on a fire hydrant.

The comical monkey mask slowly lifted up, and the indifferent eyes stared at them.

…Finally, they had arrived!

Almost in an instant, Liu Dongli realized what was happening, and he blocked Huai Shi behind him with his left hand, stuffing his own hand into his arms.And his right hand reached into his pocket, tightly grasping the weapon inside.

He quickly stepped back.

At the same time, a sharp sound of metal friction burst from under the feet of the fierce ape.

Under the pair of slowly building claws, the fire hydrant was torn apart like thin paper.
With that shadow suddenly rising, it rushed towards them, and a violent water column gushed out from the broken fire hydrant.

Huai Shi staggered back, looking around in panic, feeling a wave of relief in his heart that the guy chose to launch the attack here.

If they had walked a little further, there would have been no more streetlights…
In the pitch-black darkness, Liu Dongli ’s abilities would probably have no room to play.

Before he could react any further, the fierce ape ’s roar came through the air and in an instant, it was already ten steps away.

And Liu Dongli was already standing directly under the streetlight.

He raised his hand, combed his hair back, and grinned at the fierce ape.

In an instant, some power that Huai Shi did not understand was activated, and using Liu Dongli ’s face as a medium, it reflected in the fierce ape ’s pupils.

In a flash, its movements stiffened, and it fell from the air.

It couldn ’t move.

It could barely breathe.

Liu Dongli didn ’t dare to be careless, he raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at the fierce ape, pulling the trigger with a loud bang.
Suddenly, Huai Shi felt his vision darken.

The streetlight was flickering.

He froze, turned around in astonishment, and saw the electrical box next to the fire hydrant already emitting thick smoke.

Under the surging irrigation of the water column, electric sparks and thick smoke crazily spewed out from it, accompanied by the crazy flicker of the streetlight and a burst of loud explosions.

The streetlight went out completely.

Oh my god! What kind of shoddy construction did the municipal engineering company do?!
