High in the blank sky, Konstantin was falling.It is both similar and different from the Land of Dreams, where the dreams of dying people are often filled with memories that are most precious to them.In the process of falling, his vision was almost blocked by a dense variety of branches and leaves, like a blank paper with a few cans of green paint dripping on it.At first, he felt like he was rappelling with vines, but at some point he was empty-handed, and gravity turned him into a meteorite, hitting leaves and branches along the way, making a crackling sound and slapping his face.Konstantin kind knew why the army didn't recommend skydiving above the rainforest, because it was really not a good experience, even though he didn't even have an umbrella on his back, it was more like a freefall."
Sting!"
Suddenly, it was as if he had hit a layer of wallpaper full of greenery, smashed it into a new dimension, and fell to the ground with a thud.Although he had been blessed with a protective spell, this time it was still too ruthless, and he was like a frog on the dissecting table for a long time, lying on the ground and unable to slow down."
Phew!"
He spat out a small mouthful of blood and tried his best to turn himself over, he looked at the sky, where he had fallen, the paper was healing.At this moment a small grasshopper jumped onto the blade of grass, looked at him with contempt, and then swooped into the grass nest not far away.The crash site is surrounded by lush greenery, mostly wetland species such as calamus, a rare solid land in a swamp.The touch, the smell, the temperature, everything seemed very real, but Konstantin knew that it was always a dream within a dream.He got up and pulled the bottle out of his trench coat to drink, but the impact of the fall shattered it, and he had no choice but to lick his coat slightly with his tongue and snort the damp smell in his pocket.As if he had been on top, he twisted his neck to recover, demonic blood burning in his chest, making him look like a demonic engine ready to explode.After a few steps in a half-crouching position, he heard the sound of rushing water not far away, and at the same time smelled the familiar stench of swamps, and he picked up the tall grass that blocked his view, and peeked like a Viet Cong.It was a stagnant water, and not far away a white-haired woman in jeans was wading into the lake, and the sound of the water was also made between her steps.This woman is Abby Arkane, or rather, her younger self in her dreams, before she has been transformed into the spokesperson of the corrupt black.She didn't seem to hear the sound of Zakang falling, at least in this dream of hers, Constantine did not exist in her memory at this point in time, so it was subjectively ignored.It is an objective fact that Zakang is there, but this is the conflict between 'objective existence' and 'subjective non-existence' in dreams.Konstantin didn't say anything, he reached into his pocket and felt for the cigarette, but the cigarette was all broken into three sticks, and he could only barely pull a small piece of it, stuff it into his mouth, and light it with a curse fire.Because at this moment, the lake not far in front of Abby was rippling, and a huge green monster gradually rose from the lake, and the algae and duckweed on the green water surface were entangled in his body.This is the swamp monster she remembers, that is, Alec Holland, her future husband."
Ah, I remember, the old man told me how they met, and that's how they first met."
Konstantin gently spat out the tobacco dregs in his mouth and whispered to himself: "Sure enough, for her, even if she sees a monster, the first sight is one of the best memories?"
”Alec was also an otaku scientist back then, working in a mysterious chemical factory to develop a new generation of herbicides.There was a little accident in the experiment, and the finished product he developed was too good.How good is it?
That's about the amount of synthetics in a wine bottle, and it can wipe out all the plants in a park.During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military had enough of the forest guerrillas and decided to destroy all the forests in northern Vietnam, so American scientists invented the infamous defoliant 'Agent Orange'.When sprayed by airplanes, it can effectively kill all plants, and when the guerrillas hiding in the forest come into contact with this poisonous agent, which is tetrachlorodiphenyldioxin, people will live worse than die in the days to come.The new herbicide invented by Aggreko is about tens of thousands of times more effective than Agent Orange, and at the same time has no obvious side effects on humans.It's just that herbicides are supposed to be weeding, and you kill all the other trees and flowers indiscriminately, obviously failing, and since the day the compound was invented, Alec has been hallucinating, he finds the flowers and trees on the side of the road talking to him, trying to persuade him not to kill them, and even when he cooks, the tomatoes on the board will let out a near-death scream.He was a staunch materialist at the time, and he didn't know what the green of all things was, and he felt that he was mentally ill from exhaustion.So he went to the big city to find a specialist to help him see a doctor, prescribed all kinds of pills, and went home and poured a lot of them into his mouth.Unfortunately, those medicines were useless, and even after taking the medicine, he felt that his condition was more serious, because the wooden furniture in the house had come to life, and he had to negotiate with him on a condition that he should destroy those herbicide samples and materials, and the green of all things was willing to provide him with a more 'stable and lucrative' job.After being kidnapped by the sofa at home, he could only agree to these 'illusions' conditions, not to mention that he himself felt that this product was a failure, so he went to the company boss for a showdown the next day, planning to destroy all the current scientific research products and start again.However, his boss is a talent from Gotham, and people have long taken a fancy to his invention."
How much money do you have to make a year selling herbicides?
The R&D cost invested in you will lose all your money in a word?
Therefore, the company does not do herbicide business, change the packaging of these chemicals, and we switch to biochemical weapons!
”Yes, the boss plans to mass-produce these products and then bring them to the international market, where they will be handed over to the enthusiastic bearded men in the Middle East or the black uncles of Africa in exchange for some diamonds or gold that everyone loves.Alec didn't want to cooperate with international terrorists, so he pretended to be obedient and secretly ran away with samples and materials.As a result, he was a scientist, not diligent, not dividing grains, and not knowing how to escape and hide, as soon as he went out with his front foot, he was discovered by the boss on his back foot, and sent his bodyguards to recover those things.Alec drove on the road and called the FBI, reported the boss, and attached a part of the scientific research results to confirm himself through an email, but the bodyguards chased after him, and the two sides started a drag race in the forest and swamp.How could he, who had never driven over speed, be a match for a professional thug?
After the two cars were pinned by the other party with the front of the car, he hit the steering wheel in a panic, stepped on the accelerator with the soles of his feet, and even the people and the car sank into a swamp.Even the herbicide samples and recipes he invented turned into a splash.As we all know, people who are completely trapped in the swamp cannot be saved, and the bodyguards can only return in a huff and be scolded by the boss.And Alec, who drowned after sinking to the bottom, inadvertently reached the trading conditions of the green of everything.The psychotropic drugs he had eaten before his death inadvertently reacted with the herbicides that had broken in the car accident, and with the help of the Green of Everything, he was reborn as a swamp monster.This is probably what happened to the swamp monster, and the stories of each parallel universe are much the same.And after the death of 'Alec' on the surface, the FBI who received the report before naturally sent someone to investigate the matter, saying that the good informant is gone, and the other party still has biological and chemical weapons in his hand, how can this not be investigated?
So they sent a team, and Abby Arcain was one of the newcomers.
