Chapter 10: The Present World
"There were cameras installed in the office building, and in order to prove that this was not a prank, we also specially adjusted the surveillance video to watch it, but unfortunately there was no gain......
Until one day, my colleague proposed to wait for the rabbit, so the three of us waited in front of the mailbox all night, opening the mailbox every hour to confirm...... Something strange happened, and at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a piece of paper appeared there so suddenly."
Lu Shangzhi shuddered, a little scared in his heart, and unconsciously took two steps in the direction of Shen Xinyu
"Today is April Fool's Day on the ninth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, girl, I'm afraid you're not joking."
"Do you think I'm joking, the first one in this stack of letters was just taken out of the mailbox this morning, today is the first day of April, the ninth day of the third month of the lunar calendar!"
The man was so frightened that he took two steps back
"This ...... Is the legend true?"
"Legends, what legends?"
He bit his thumb, his heart was very entangled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind and spoke slowly
"I don't know if it's true or not, but since the city was built, there has been a legend in the mouths of the older generation
It is rumored that many years ago, there was a monk who came to Yanyang Town, and used Buddhism to overtake the ghosts who died in vain in the town, so that they re-entered the reincarnation, but unfortunately his ability alone was extremely limited, in order to prevent the unjust souls in the town from going out to harm people, he sacrificed his life to seal the entire town, but as time passed, the seal gradually failed, and one day, this dead city full of resentment will reappear in the world with a monstrous anger......"
"It's just rumors...... Maybe...... It's not that serious, and maybe ......."
Glancing back at Lu Shangzhi who was speaking, the latter also seemed to feel that his words were not considered, and quickly closed his mouth
"Remember, our world itself is a collection of all kinds of irrationalities, even if it doesn't conform to the norm, you can't relax at all."
"Yes......"
After teaching the newcomer a lesson, Shen Xinyu turned to look at the man again
"Thank you for explaining so much to us, I don't know your surname?"
"The surname is Yi, a single name is a peak character, and you haven't asked the girl's name yet?"
"Surname Shen"
"It turned out to be Miss Shen...... I have a question that I don't know if to say."
"You say"
Yi Feng touched the vine pattern on his face, with a hint of remembrance in his eyes, smiled, and said
"Presumably the two of you are here to solve the matter of Yanyang Town, then you must not be ordinary people, if you combine this local rumor with the content of the letter, does it mean that tomorrow is the tenth day of the third month, which is the day when Yanyang Town will reappear in the world?"
"It's possible"
"Then please allow me to make a reluctant request, this trip to Yanyang Town will be counted in the next one."
The former frowned and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but the other party quickly waved his hand to interrupt her
"Miss Shen, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I have lived in this city for many years, I have been to places large and small in the city, if the current life of Yanyang Town will inevitably overlap with the current city, then if there is a guide by your side at this time, it must be good."
There was no conversation next, Shen Xinyu glanced at the man deeply, grabbed Lu Shangzhi, who was playing soy sauce on the side, and walked out of the door, the man didn't stop him anymore, just sat on the chair and showed a smile of unknown meaning
"Sister Xiaoyu, where are we going?"
"Find a hotel to open a room"
"Open open open ...... Open the room?!"
The former stopped, looked at the frightened creature in surprise, and reached out to touch his head
"I'm not very old, and I have a lot of dirty things in my head."
"I ......"
"Don't me, me, find a hotel to rest, you may be busy tonight"
"Oh...... But I don't know whether to say it or not."
"There's something to say, there's a fart!
"Oh, I didn't learn it from the man before......"
Shen Xinyu was about to fight, but the latter hurriedly hugged his head and begged for mercy
"Don't, don't, I say I'll say. Sister Xiaoyu, don't you think that Yi Feng is weird?"
"Oh, what's the blame?"
"The way he speaks, what age is this, the way he speaks, and the pattern on his face...... I'm embarrassed to say in front of me, half of his face is covered with vines, and he looks so crazy, do we really want to take him with me?"
Hearing this, Miss Shen paused, and there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes when she looked at the other party
"I didn't think I was going to take him with me, did I?"
"But what he said is very right, in case Yanyang Town comes, it is better to bring a guide than to catch us everywhere who are not familiar with life. Not to mention ......"
"Keep talking"
"What's more, a person of unknown and suspicious origin like him, it's better to keep an eye on him than to let him follow him in the shadows."
"Very good!" nodded with satisfaction, "It's finally a bit like my father's student."
Lu Shangzhi smiled, and sighed secretly in his heart: Fortunately, I watched some palace fighting dramas recently, and the screenwriter really didn't deceive me
On the other side, in a café dozens of kilometers away from here, a more charming-looking man was wearing a waiter's clothes to hook the cappuccino of the guest, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, the man took it out and glanced at the caller ID, handed the coffee in his hand to his colleague, signaled to the customer to send it, and then pressed the answer button
"Hey, boss. Why do you have time to call me today, is it empty, lonely and cold? Don't worry, how about I call a few beautiful women to accompany you immediately?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. Yanyang Town is present at twelve o'clock tonight, how are you arranging over there?"
"Oh~ You said this, it has been arranged a long time ago, but according to the latest information, the new intern under Shen Xinyu and Qin Buhuan is also here."
"Well, I already know this, that intern is not worried, Shen Xinyu is a little troublesome......"
"Alas~ worthy of being the boss, very well-informed"
"Don't be a sycophant! you can explain to me how Qin Buhuan's people can appear there."
The man stretched lazily, not paying attention to it at all, looking at his hands from time to time, and playing with the coffee machine from time to time
"The legs are on them, and I can't help it if they insist on running there~ Besides, why are you in a hurry, wouldn't it be good to dispose of them all? Alas, don't be angry, I'm kidding, anyway, you can rest assured, that guy will settle down"
“...... Who did you send?"
"Hehe, Poor Strange"
The "pop" phone was hung up, and the man stuffed the phone into his pocket and sighed, "Alas, it's really boring~"
That night, Lu Shangzhi was lying on the bed in the hotel in a daze, since entering the office, the people and things he came into contact with overturned all his past visions and speculations, and now he finally understands the sentence on the Internet - real life is always more exciting than novels and movies
Time ticked by, and just as the clock struck eleven o'clock at midnight, the crescent moon in the night sky suddenly turned blood-red, and a transparent ancient town appeared above the city, like a mirage
"Hey, look, what's that?"
"Oh my God, send it to Moments!"
"Hey, Mom, I've seen something more than Superman flying!"
Similar voices are not uncommon in the city, and the major social networking sites and forums are full of countless opinions
"Wow, is this a mirage or projection technology, it's too real."
"Back to the Lord, this is obviously a castle in the sky, castle in the sky"
"God T Horse Sky City, upstairs you have watched too much anime, right?"
A muscular, cloaked man stood at the top of the skyscraper, shook his head and closed his phone, looking down at the humans on the ground with mockery and disdain
"Enjoy the last pleasures, ants"
Just when everyone couldn't figure out the situation and only cared about taking pictures, the transparent ancient town in the air suddenly trembled, and tens of thousands of white balls fell from the sky and stood in front of the crowd
A couple looked at the ball in front of them, and the woman curiously stretched out a finger and slowly poked it into it
"Ah~so cute~"
The woman who didn't have anything happened was playful, holding the ball in her arms and rubbing it around, at this moment, the white ball body suddenly cracked a gap from the middle, and the two sides rose slightly, as if laughing, and the next second, the crack of the ball turned into fangs, and swallowed the woman in one bite, leaving only the bare feet on the ground
"Ahhhh
The screams continued to rise and fall, and when Lu Shangzhi and Shen Xinyu arrived, the streets were already full of blood and stumps, and the balls that had absorbed the human body turned into illusory dust and smoke, sneering and flying everywhere
"Hee-hee-hee-hee" A sphere floated in front of the man in the building
"It's hard to hear, it's the first time I've heard such a stupid laugh"
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee"
"Hey!"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
"Didn't I say - stop laughing!!!!!"
A loud roar set off a violent impact, and the ball screamed and turned into flying ashes, thanks to this roar, which successfully attracted Shen Xinyu's gaze, who felt the gaze and looked down over there
"Roar~ Look who is here, isn't this the eldest lady of the Shen family?"
The corners of the man's mouth under his cloak pulled up a huge amplitude to the left, and the other man's pupils shrank sharply as he turned to look at the peculiar mark on the chest of his clothes, a badge engraved with a mountain peak
"Deserted ......"
"Sister Xiaoyu...... What is the wilderness?"
Before he could answer Lu Shangzhi's question, the figure of the other party suddenly disappeared from the top of the building, and in the next second, a giant man suddenly appeared in front of the two, looking at the small animal that was only as high as his chest, the man pinched the other party's head and picked it up
"This is Qin Buhuan's newly recruited disciple?"
The huge size gap and the terrifying coercion attached to his body made Lu Shangzhi unable to have the slightest idea of competing with him, and his mind was blank
At this moment, a black Desert Eagle was forced against the man's crotch, and Shen Xinyu raised his head and looked at the other party indifferently
"Let it go, or I'll crash your dick!"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed
"Hahahaha, it's really the same as the rumors - the same hot, I have a crush on you, be my woman!"
didn't reply, just a slight break of his fingers, put down the pistol hammer, and the man let go of his hand when he saw this, letting Lu Shangzhi fall to the ground
"You only have a chance to say three words, tell me why the wilderness is here"
The man glanced at the pistol under his crotch and asked in surprise, "I let this kid go, why are you still putting the gun on?"
"One sentence"
"Chick, is it really okay if someone doesn't save me here?"
"Two sentences"
Suddenly, the ancient town in the air shook, and fell violently towards the city, attracting everyone's attention, and the man took the opportunity to teleport behind Shen Xinyu and slapped it, at this moment, Yi Feng appeared in time, hugged it, rolled on the spot, and dodged the blow
"Bang!"
The slap was swung into the air, and the strong palm wind destroyed the shop next to it, so you can imagine how terrible the consequences would be if this palm fell on Shen Xinyu
The man smiled slightly, and took off the cap of his cloak, revealing a rugged and fierce face underneath
"I've also said hello, hot girl, let's see you in the ancient town"
As soon as the words fell, the ancient town in the air fell to the ground fiercely, smashed on everyone's bodies, and all fainted
