A solitary individual, before the police arrived at the scene, shouted about the descent of a deity and then jumped into a pool teeming with insects.
The police subsequently released information about the man.
He turned out to be a fanatic associated with a cult and the Black Magic Circle!
The police condemned such behavior in the strongest terms.
They also issued a warning to citizens:
"Anyone imitating this behavior will be considered a criminal."
"Not only will you face consequences, but your relatives and children will also be implicated!"
As this news spread, the entire city fell silent.
It seemed everyone realized the gravity of the situation.
A month later, I had seemingly grown accustomed to the days when turning on the tap would result in insects emerging.
Though I dared not drink tap water, with government assistance, bottled water was supplied unconditionally.
As long as I was careful not to be infested by the insects, there was nothing too concerning.
The company’s owner also sent out a notice:
"If there is no change in the situation after a month, employees may return to work."
I picked up my phone again and noticed that the last message from Yao Xiu had been sitting there for a month.
Meanwhile, he had been frequently appearing on television.
As the discoverer of the bugs, he presented various methods for dealing with them in front of the camera.
However, he failed to propose any effective cleaning solutions.
What was even more infuriating was that—
Yao Xiu had started advocating for citizens to learn to coexist with the bugs in the media!
“Bastard!”
I cursed under my breath and immediately sent him a message on WeChat.
“You bastard!”
“You were just lying to me back then, weren’t you?!”
“Didn’t you say you would eliminate these bugs?!”
“Why are you compromising now?!”
I took a deep breath and decided to go alone.
Before setting off, I contacted Yang Liu, Zheng Han, and Xu Xuan.
Yang Liu immediately rejected my plan when she heard where I was going.
Zheng Han advised me against it, saying that the place had already been overrun by insects and that going there would be pointless.
As for Xu Xuan, she fell silent for a long time after hearing my thoughts before finally replying, "I know the location, but I can't go with you."
"I was nearly scared to death by my parents when I got infested by the insects last time."
"They won't allow me to leave their sight now..."
I didn’t say much more and simply asked her to send me the address.
Then, I rode my motorcycle to the gas station.
There, I filled up the tank.
Afterward, I sent a message to Yao Xiu at the entrance of the gas station:
"I'm heading to the place where we first saw the insects."
"If I don't come back, remember to take care of my parents."
With that, I rode my motorcycle towards the mountains.
On the way, I could sense an increase in the number of insects.
The area where the wheels had rolled was somewhat slick.
It seemed that an increase in the number of insects had caused more moisture to accumulate on the road.
However, this also made the motorcycle prone to slipping.
I quickly slowed down, cautiously continuing forward.
Finally, I arrived at my destination.
When I saw the spot where the insects had first been discovered, I was utterly stunned!
What had once been a small pit was now completely blocked by the insects!
They resembled a writhing wall of flesh, entirely sealing off that location!
"Damn it!"
I cursed under my breath and retrieved a shovel from the trunk.
Then, I put on the protective suit I had prepared in advance.
After completing all of this, I picked up the shovel and began to dig out the insects!
