Chapter 486 Weird Things
It took probably a dozen chances.

Finally, they didn't insist on being stubborn.

They didn't know much. No matter how mysterious and powerful they were, they were just high-level workers of the court. But they did know some things about the flesh that flowed out from the inner court.

The meat had to be reviewed by relevant personnel before it could be distributed.

Although I don't know the details, I have heard that it is the flesh of a "saint".

Moreover, this kind of meat actually has quite a lot of benefits. When eaten by people who practice martial arts and qigong, it can greatly enhance the qi in the body and promote the condensation of qi.

In their Demon Suppression Division, this thing can be considered a great tonic.

In fact, the higher-ups are very reluctant to distribute these to civilians in large quantities, as these are strategic resources.

It is because the famine is too severe and the resources are indeed overflowing that they are chosen to be distributed.

As for the deformities caused by this meat, they do exist.

People who do not know how to refine their qi and blood, and are sensitive to qi and blood, will easily mutate if they eat too much meat if they are not guided in time. They must be dealt with secretly to avoid disturbing people's hearts.

There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing.

Which one would you choose: not eating and starving to death or eating and possibly turning into a monster?
"You didn't kill those mutated people directly, right? Where did you take them?" The man next to Anti stood up and questioned.

The Demon Suppression Division staff member who had previously revealed everything hesitated and said, "They have all been sent to the palace. We don't know what they are used for."

"That means you do have some plans for the mutated people!" the man pointed.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was silent.

This matter is really hard to explain. What else can these workers say?
It is a blessing to be a sheepdog instead of a sheep.

It seems that there is no more to ask. I have to go to Barolan to find out about the matters in the palace.

Anti went out.

Everyone else saw Anti off in silence.

After Anti left, although Anti had never released any unreasonable things like "strong aura", they now felt at ease and relieved.

Then they looked at each other.

After the people from the Demon Suppression Division relaxed, they immediately became nervous again.

This sudden and unreasonable strong man is really difficult to deal with.

and……

Their eyes turned to the officials who now felt they had survived a disaster.

Just now they were forced to reveal confidential information under coercion, and these people heard it and witnessed the whole process.

Can't stay.

In silence, they drew their knives.

……

Anti walked out of the door confidently, and the handsome man behind him followed him happily.

"What's your name?" Anti suddenly turned around and asked.

"Ah... My name is Xu Chen."

"Follow me for what?"

"I'm afraid of death." Xu Chen said decisively, "All the people who attacked the government office and the court before are gone. I'm the only one left, and I haven't covered my face yet. My life is almost over."

"Then why don't you cover your face?"

"I've done similar things in other cities before, but I forgot about it when I debuted. It's too late to deceive now. The main thing is that I showed my face in front of the Demon Suppression Bureau this time, and Tietie was regarded as your accomplice." Xu Chen said honestly.

You are really a genius.

"What's your origin?"

"My parents are people from the martial arts world. My mother ate the meat and got mutated. My father killed my mother and went crazy, then committed suicide in front of me. I learned my parents' skills and went out to make a living. My skills are just okay, but of course they're nothing in front of the master." Xu Chen answered quickly.

"Do you know Xuan Jing?"

“Not many people don’t know this, Jingcheng!”

"Do you know how to get there?"

"I know. It's very close to Curtain City! It is said to be a very prosperous city. However, many people have fled from Xuanjing during this period. I don't know what happened there." Xu Chen knew everything.

An Ti nodded: "Okay, lead the way." Xu Chen was delighted, knowing that he had passed this "interview".

He had no purpose anyway, so following this master would probably be worry-free, and maybe he could even learn something from him.

So the two of them set out on the road to Xuanjing.

……

When leaving the city, Anti and his companions were caught up by another group of Demon Suppression Officers, who attacked them without saying a word.

After seeing their Qi Miracle combined attack technique, I found that there is something to it.

Compared with the understanding and application of the miracle itself, this wonderful change of Qi miracle is closely related to the movement of the human body, and the various martial arts are dazzling.

Then it was smashed by Anti's punch.

When it was time to leave the city, no one tried to stop him. The guard saw that Anti had knocked down a group of people from the Demon Suppression Division in one fell swoop, so he dared not stop him and just wanted Anti to leave quickly.

Anti was outside the city and saw many people.

"these are?"

"They are the people I mentioned before, the ones who escaped from Xuanjing. I haven't asked them the reason in detail yet, you can find out."

As soon as he said it, Anti found the nearest person, looked him up and asked, "Hello, I want to ask you something."

The other party looked at Anti warily. He looked quite haggard, with bloodshot eyes and a bit of mental weakness, as if he had suffered a great fright.

"Wha...what?"

"Are you from Xuanjing?"

"Yes... so what?"

"What happened to Xuanjing? Why did you come here?"

Upon hearing this, the other party's pupils dilated and his lips trembled.

Anti quickly reached out and put his hand on the other person's shoulder, keeping calm.

The other person only felt a warmth surge in his heart, and all the messy thoughts in his head were instantly smoothed out. The nightmares that had lingered for the past few days were all swept away, and he even felt a little bit unbelievable that he could be scared so badly.

When he realized what was happening, he immediately knelt down to Anti: "Thank you so much!"

Anti held the other person up and didn't let him kneel down.

There are a lot of people here, and this person will definitely become the most conspicuous person here when he kneels down.

"Don't thank me, just answer the question." Anti said.

The other party nodded repeatedly and thanked him several times before answering, "Alas, I was originally a merchant in Xuanjing, doing some small business. About a month ago, there was a violent underground explosion under Xuanjing. A ten-thousand-foot-high pillar rose from the imperial city and dyed the sky red."

At this point, he still felt a little nervous. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Although the court said that there was nothing serious at the time, various strange things happened in some districts and streets of Xuanjing in the days that followed. Some people kept disappearing inexplicably, and some people said that some people saw demons and ghosts walking in the streets. There was even a strange incident where a large family died overnight. The court distributed more and more meat, but people's hearts became more and more unstable."

"It's no longer possible to live outside Xuanjing. It's filled with foul smells. The bloody rain in Xuanjing is heavier and redder than anywhere else. I often have hallucinations after being in the rain for too long. I feel like I'm going to go with the victims."

As he spoke, the man recalled again, his face a little pale, but fortunately, Anti's top-notch calmness miracle could easily suppress the fear of an ordinary person. The other party easily defeated his nightmare and continued to tell Anti.

"For the livelihood of my family, I always have to travel. When business is slow, I have to go out early and come back late to see if I can do more. I get caught in the rain so much that sometimes I can't tell what's real and what's fake. Sometimes when I come home late, I see a huge flesh pillar rising from the palace of the imperial city."

"There were slippery tentacles with bared fangs and claws. In the cracks of flesh were eyeballs with distinct colors, and embedded in them were all kinds of people and animals roaring and screaming." The man shuddered as he spoke.

"My Lord, don't listen to my detailed description just because it is so impressive. In fact, every time I blink, the meat pillar disappears. When I ask other people, except for some people like me who are exposed to rain all year round, most people say there is no meat pillar. That's true. If there is really a meat pillar in the imperial city, everyone will definitely see it."

"But, a few days ago, a fellow of mine who also said he could see went crazy. He said he was seen, and that thing was coming to take him away."

"He had done a lot for me for a long time, and I felt bad, so I gave his wife and daughter some money as a consolation."

"Because my friend went back to recuperate after going crazy, I couldn't handle it alone, so I went home early the next day, washed up and went to bed early. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a voice calling for help. The voice sounded familiar, it was my friend. His house is not far from mine, I hesitated for a long time and decided to go out to see, and the result was..."

The narrator shuddered again.

"I saw the flesh pillar again, the flesh pillar sticking out of the palace. One of its tentacles stretched out and grabbed my buddy and his family, including his wife and daughters. They were mixed up with the tentacles, and suddenly only a few faces were left shouting on the tentacles. The buddy's face looked at me and told me to save him."

"I was terrified, so I ran back to the house, packed my bag, and left at daybreak."

After finishing speaking, the narrator felt a little thirsty and drank some water from the kettle.

"If I hadn't had your help, I would have gone insane. I don't know if that meat pillar would come here to take my life!"

Finally, the other party left a sentence as a summary of his "ghost story":

"This Xuanjing is no longer a place where people can stay."
