"There seem to be fewer people on the streets today. ”

When he came back from the west of the city, Du Yeshen suddenly discovered this.

"Yes, indeed. When Xun An thought about it, it seemed that there were fewer people than usual.

Tang Qing was stunned, he hadn't noticed this before, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, but, this kind of detailed thing, which he has always been concerned about, has not been discovered by Du Yeshen as quickly, it seems that there is something wrong.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Tang Qing wondered if he had neglected something.

The three of them didn't speak after that, This abnormal situation is always unsettling, Xun An is worried about his grandfather, and he walks faster than them.

When he was about to arrive at the mansion, Tang Qing suddenly stopped Du Yeshen and Xun An, "What's wrong?" Du Yeshen didn't quite understand.

"The wall is collapsing. ”

Xun An looked at the location of a broken wall, and could see that the courtyard immediately adjacent to the wall was in ruins.

The dust fell on the ruins, and at first glance it looked like it had been crumbling for a long time.

Tang Qing looked there, that position, it was clearly the courtyard he went to last time, and there was probably a secret room in it, at this moment, that kind of breath leaked out, but there was no sense of oppression brought before, as if it was gradually dissipating.

"What's going on?" Du Yeshen put his feet on his feet, looking inside from the broken crack, the ruin-like scene did not touch him, and the courtyard he had seen before was also almost abandoned, and it looked very ordinary.

Du Yeshen looked at Xun An, and then at Tang Qing with a solemn face, and always felt as if something big had happened that he didn't know.

It is indeed a big deal, a thing that made Tang Qing suddenly realize his mistake, this city does not limit his spiritual power on the surface, and the speed of cultivation is even slightly faster, he always says that he does not regard this city as a known ancient city, but he will always be misled by those familiar antiques, and even the slight speed of cultivation is regarded as an ancient feng shui, in fact, he seems to be alone and has been affected more deeply than them.

So, what I felt before, what I saw through my spiritual power, is it true or false?

"Grandpa is still inside, I'm going to go in and have a look, are you still going in?" Xun An took the initiative to ask.

"Let's go together, I said I want to bring you back completely, and I have to go to the old man to pay an errand. ”

Du Yeshen raised his arm and put it on Xun An's shoulder again, so enthusiastic that it was hard to refuse.

Xun An bowed his head slightly, which was considered a default.

Tang Qing didn't say anything, followed them, and the three of them entered the mansion together, the doors they could see were closed, and the people inside were standing quietly in front of the window, looking out through the window lattice, and their eyes didn't blink, which made the three of them startled.

Du Yeshen took a step back, almost tripped over the threshold, looked at the puppet-like people in disbelief, and said, "They, what's wrong with them? What are they looking at?"

As he spoke, he also looked back, only to see Tang Qing behind him, and there was no one else.

The house where the old man Xun was located was in the east, and the three of them walked along the corridor to that side, and the doors of the rooms they saw were also closed, and the old man Xun saw them from the window and greeted: "Come in, it seems that something is wrong!"

Speeding up the pace, the three of them came to the door, the old man Xun used his strength to open the door, the three of them entered quickly, he gasped and said: "I don't know what happened just now, there was a sound, and then there was something wrong with these people." ”

There are a lot of officials in the government, these people seem to be indifferent to people, but they have never driven them, and they are in a state of ignoring and not taking the initiative to provoke, and they seem to be a little indifferent, but usually their actions are still very normal, they should eat and drink water, and if they meet the old man Xun who takes the initiative to greet them, they will also follow and say two words, that is, Xun An, and occasionally ask them where to find water and other questions, and they will also get friendly and detailed answers.

Old Man Xun said what happened just now, his window here is obliquely facing the front, and he can also see the heads of people looking out from the window lattice, and a pair of eyes always feel infiltrating.

"Is there something wrong here?" Old Man Xun felt furious in his heart, and wanted to go back, but he felt that the situation was really unclear at this time, and it was not a good thing to run around, in short, people didn't seem to be so scared when they got together.

Tang Qing looked at it, and didn't find any problems, he didn't see the fog or other changes, the biggest problem was on the surface, but those people locked themselves in the room, and they didn't look harmful.

Du Yeshen was full of questions, but he couldn't get answers, and then asked him to ask those people, but he didn't dare.

Looking left and right, Xun An was quite suspicious, Tang Qingqing was the calmest, so he bumped Tang Qing with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What the hell do you say is going on?"

"I don't know. Tang Qing's answer was very crisp, he kept looking outside and didn't look back.

Du Yeshen refused to give up, and pulled him hard, "What do you see, hurry up and say, why am I so panicked in my heart, is there something big going on, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Tang Qing glanced at him and said, "Isn't this all obvious, looking at those people, do you think there is no problem, the key is that this problem will not take the initiative to tell us, so my suggestion is to go back to the rented yard quickly, maybe it can be safer, at least the people on the street are normal, except for a little less." ”

The shops on both sides of the street are still open normally, and there are pedestrians coming and going, even if there is really any danger, it will not happen at this time.

Tang Qing's grasp is the plot, if they are destined to disappear one by one, they will not face despair at the end, the most important thing is about noon tomorrow, the agreed time, other times, safety is still guaranteed.

He didn't do much after he came in, and there was no reason to change the plot because of his actions, so...

"Then, let's go back first, old man, otherwise you and Xun An will go with us, the yard we rent is still quite large, you and Xun An have a room, and I have a room with Tang Qing, let's make do with this last night, and we will go out tomorrow, and we don't need to meet again, just go together." ”

Du Yeshen's arrangement was also considered to take care of Old Man Xun, and Old Man Xun responded with a smile: "As long as you don't think my old man is troublesome, I can't ask for it." ”

Xun An also thanked him on the side, and he also knew about this kindness.

"Okay, then let's go, don't take the things here. Du Yeshen said and glanced out the window again, he could still see the rows of eyes over there, he hadn't noticed that there were so many people in this mansion before.

Tang Qing also looked at it and kept watching, so he found that those eyes actually had a few more pairs, a few pairs that were even darker.

Things are getting worse and worse.

"Let's go. He urged, took the lead in opening the door, Du Yeshen and Xun An accompanied the old man Xun left and right, and the four of them quickened their pace and left the gate of the mansion as if they were fleeing.

After walking out of the door, the old man Xun let out a sigh of relief, the hand on his chest trembled slightly, Xun An hurriedly took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill and fed it to his mouth, and used the bamboo tube water cup to feed him water.

"Old man, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I feel better and more relaxed when I come out. Old Man Xun relieved his breath and showed a reassuring smile.

Du Yeshen was relieved, and slowed down slightly, the central area has always been less crowded, and the four of them didn't stay long, and walked directly to the east of the city, after crossing two streets, hearing the hustle and bustle of the crowd, his pace slowed down again, and his face eased a lot.

That night, Tang Qing didn't sleep, quietly watching the changes outside, the lanterns that went out when the time came, and the fog that seemed to be handed over, this night, the fog became more and more colorful, red like fire, as if countless red lights were lit, making the city dyed red.

The red light outside reflected in and fell on people's faces, Du Yeshen, who was already asleep, grinned and showed a smile, as if he had some kind of dream, Tang Qing looked at the red mist that swirled outside the door, and probed with the power of time again, and some broken pictures appeared again.

People with smiles on their red faces, talking or buying and selling, stabbing knives with the same smiles, smiling in the face of blood, smiling in the face of dead bodies that have fallen to the ground, even the one who is dying is smiling, the smile on his face seems to be fixed, and he can't change other expressions...

A person was besieged, his eyes were full of compassion, and he was in chaos, and at the moment of death, he even showed a somewhat relaxed look, as if he had let go of his burden from now on, and no longer had to pay attention to all kinds of things in the world...

The baby was born, the small body was sunk into the black water, a pair of hands supported him, a moment later held out, the baby smiled and opened his eyes, a pair of black eyes seemed to have no whites of the eyes, black and oozing...

The black water in the basin swayed, reflecting a smiling face that seemed to have been measured with a ruler, standard and classic...

The spiritual power exploded again, Tang Qing closed his eyes, and he seemed to be able to see the mirror-like smiling face on the water surface with ripples, broken and weird.

When he opened his eyes again, he could already see some red mist coming in along the cracks in the doors and windows, Tang Qing retreated to the side of the bed, away from the windows and doors, looking at those hazy red mist, what the hell is this?

It's the last night, so should you give it a try?

Since he can still walk to the door in the plot, then, these should not kill him.

Taking two steps forward and walking to the edge of the red mist, Tang Qing tentatively touched it with his hands, but he couldn't feel anything, not even a little dampness, and then used his mental power to explode again, explode... The continuous explosions made Tang Qing's face turn pale, and the spiritual power he had cultivated during this period of time was afraid that it would be blown up, so he hurriedly stopped this kind of death-making behavior.

No, this is really not a power that he can understand, and he doesn't even have a concept, so his analysis and understanding are all illusory.

Tang Qing is not a person with outstanding intelligence, to this day, of course, there is a fluke to get the system by chance, and then there is a step-by-step study, his luck is obviously not enough to touch to get a hint so exaggerated, so he knows that this red mist may represent a new kind of power, but he doesn't know where to start, there is no way to deal with it, this is not only a lack of knowledge, but also a lack of experience, no one to teach, it is really too difficult to learn without a teacher.

It would be nice if the system's database was not lost, and some knowledge points could be used as a guide.

Such a thought flashed by, Tang Qing retreated to the side of the bed again, and watched as those red mist maintained a non-existent boundary, surrounding those places outside his feet, and they were already able to invade the room.

The old man Xun and Xun An, who were separated by a wall, sat on the bed, as if sitting on a lonely boat, watching the red mist flowing without wind, as if there would be waves at any time, their eyes were all vigilant, and a little fear was in their eyes, guarding against the possible changes in the red mist, who knows if there will be any monsters coming out of it.

The night was too long, and after the red mist filled every part of the city, the whole city seemed to burn in flames, and it was incomprehensibly beautiful.

Xu Shu, who was high in the attic, suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and saw the light that reflected the whole room in the window.

On fire?

Her first reaction was this, but she soon found that there was no choking smoke smell of flames, so it was light, red as fire.

Lanterns?

She had seen the red lanterns in front of every house, which would light up at night, like a custom, which could replace the street lamps, but they were more ancient, more hazy and dreamy, but...

The red mist quickly poured into the house, and the wooden frame of the house had enough space for them to enter, and they entered with impunity.

Isn't that interesting, red mist?

Xu Shu stretched out her hand and took the initiative to catch those swirling and fluttering mist, of course she wouldn't catch it, but with her movements, the flow trajectory of these mist was interrupted, because of the different shades, it seemed that some special pictures could be formed, which were reminiscent.

It seemed to be a blood-colored ruin, and it was like scorched earth.

Xu Shu sighed lightly, taking this as a phenomenon of refraction of light, like a mirage, and quite a little complacent, this is an illusion she created, a little joy flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly, because the red mist condensed into a smiling face, a smile that made people feel cold in their bones.

She quickly withdrew her hand and shrank into the thin quilt in horror, watching the smiling face dissipate, the red mist slowed down, and resumed the previous flow trajectory and speed again, everything seemed to have changed nothing, but Xu Shu could no longer sleep with peace of mind.

Why are these red mist red?

Xu Shu, who didn't know that the red light outside had gone out, thought, is it because there are too many lanterns outside, and they are reflected red? Gradually steadied her breathing, and found that the red mist faintly formed an encirclement and did not invade again, she lay down again, but her eyes were staring at the red mist, and there seemed to be that terrifying smile in her mind, which made her vigilant and frightened.
