Chapter 298 What a coincidence
Noticing the tall and thin ghost figure on the side of the road, the bespectacled staff member, even though he was scared to the point of sending a chill down his spine, still did not completely forget his duties.

With great willpower, he turned around, waved and shouted at the crowd that had already started to riot, hoping that the people present would evacuate quickly.

Seeing the people evacuating in panic, the staff member mustered up the courage to look back at the tall and thin figure.

However, what horrified him was that the tall black figure had left its original position when he turned his head.

Like a flash, the distance between the two sides was shortened by nearly half.

It seemed as if he would appear in front of the staff in the next second.

……

At this moment, the temporary command center of the shelter was in chaos.

A lot of noise filled the headquarters.

The command center, which was supposed to be solemn and efficient, has now become like a vegetable market.

The operations department has indeed always been active in the front line of dealing with the weird. When faced with the weird, their psychological endurance is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people.

But now no one can remain calm.

It was not only because of the strange appearance of multiple people, but also because they had never seen such a situation before.

It is unheard of that weird people would appear in groups like this for team-building.

You know, ever since the weirdness appeared in this world, people not only knew nothing about it at the beginning, but also caused great casualties.

The subsequent casualties are not actually serious enough to affect the continuation of human civilization.

They have a fixed range of activity, so as long as you don’t barge into their area of ​​activity, there will be no danger even if you live nearby.

The rest is nothing more than thousands or tens of thousands of people dying every day.

It sounds like a lot, but considering the huge human population, this number is far less than the number of people who die from natural causes every day.

Most of these daily casualty data come from those random and bizarre events.

Based on this, the weirdness that is ranked higher in the “Weird List” are all types with unstable activity ranges.

Among them, of course, are Kayako of Sequence 13, Lady with a Slit of Mouth of Sequence 21, and Slender Man of Sequence 32.

What’s more, according to the information received so far, there are suspected to be more than three monsters appearing in the shelter.

What can humans use to resist?

“Quiet!”

The turmoil in the temporary command center did not subside, but instead intensified.

Minister Zhang had to step out to maintain the situation: “Does it mean that if you continue to panic like this, the strange thing will go away on its own?”

Hearing this, the bald director of the Lu Security Bureau took a deep breath and whispered, “Minister, I have asked someone to notify Master Lu.”

Minister Zhang nodded and turned to look at the sturdy middle-aged man on his right.

“Team Leader Lin, your team will continue to be responsible for the evacuation of the people.”

The middle-aged man called Team Leader Lin responded loudly.

“Yes.”

Minister Zhang wasted no time. After giving the order, he immediately turned around and gave orders to another senior executive.

As Minister Zhang issued various orders in an orderly manner.

With his calm and unhurried attitude, the atmosphere of helplessness in the temporary command center was swept away.

Come to think of it, unlike the initial situation when the weirdness came and they were completely powerless to fight back, the operations department now has information on most of the weirdness on the “Weird List”.

What’s more, there are guardian gods who can specifically deal with weird things.

No matter how bad the current situation is, it is much better than at the beginning.

……

Family compound, study. “Look outside?”

Hearing the twisting and turning words, Lu Bai glanced out the window casually.

Probably in order to ensure Lu Bai’s quality of life, the family compound assigned to him has very good sound insulation.

Even though the shelter was in chaos because of the strange incident, the study was still unspeakably quiet.

“Humanity has no future.”

The crazy voice twisted back and forth again: “As long as we want, we can completely exterminate the human race at any time.”

Lu Bai put his fingers together and drew a circle, fully stimulating the effectiveness of the three yellow talismans that were twisting around him.

After strengthening the restraint effect on the twisting and turning, he was about to open his mouth to continue asking questions.

Suddenly, my body felt a chill down my spine.

The fear that surged into his heart like a tide was not at all dependent on human will. The fear was so deep that he could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

Click~
The sound of a wooden stick breaking rang crisply in his ears.

Following the sound, I saw a monster nearly four meters tall, completely pressing against the ceiling of the study.

His body was made of a bunch of branches and sticks, covered with a tattered loose black robe. On each shoulder rested a crow with dry hair, and a straw hat on his head covered its face.

But this does not make people feel at ease, because the unknown appearance is more likely to induce the fear hidden in people’s hearts.

It must be said that Lu Bai happened to know this weirdness.

Sequence 85——Horrible Scarecrow.

It seems that judging from the sequence, this weird threat is not too great.

After all, according to the records of “The Weird List”, the scary scarecrow is clearly a weird thing with a fixed range of activities.

But its appearance at this moment made Lu Bai confirm one thing.

The so-called fixed range of activities is just people’s wishful thinking.

The reason why this kind of weirdness doesn’t wander around is simply because it doesn’t want to do so.

The scary scarecrow stared at the twisting eyes and flickered twice under the shadow of the straw hat.

It seemed that he was dissatisfied with being controlled so easily by Lu Bai and thought it was a bit embarrassing.

After a moment, the terrifying scarecrow turned his head back to where Lu Bai was.

It made an unpleasant noise like the rubbing of weeds.

“Did it tell you everything?”

“If you’re asking about recruiting me, I did.”

A smile appeared on Lu Bai’s face unconsciously.

In fact, due to his special physical condition, when he laughed unconsciously like this, although it looked a bit sarcastic on the surface, it actually meant that he had become serious and had no extra energy to manage his facial expressions.

“Shasha~ Looks like you refused.”

The scary scarecrow raised his two-meter-long branch arms.

Bang bang bang!
As luck would have it, there was a rapid knock on the study door, as if someone was about to knock on it.

What came next was Captain Mao’s anxious voice.

“Master Lu, Master Lu, are you in there?”

“I’m sorry to bother you, but I really need your help right now. There are a lot of strange things happening in the shelter.”

“Master Lu?! I opened the door!”
