Chapter 3 Lockdown Malls

The city has the same long culture and history as Nanshan Castle, with deep roots and strong heritage, and the city's architecture is not without luxury.

Now that he has obtained countless cultivation resources and wealth treasures in Nanshan City, the city has also been upgraded by one level overnight, from an E-level city to a D-level city.

Wu Chen stood on the streets of the city that were as prosperous as Nanshan City at the beginning, watching people come and go, like a frozen statue.

The city has been locked down for nearly a week, and the defense equipment in the city has been fully activated, residents have to brush their faces when they enter and leave, and people from outside the city are only allowed to enter and exit.

The city was not carried away by the victory in the war, on the contrary, they did it with extreme caution.

But this is not difficult for Wu Chen, the gate is not allowed to enter, it is not realistic, it is unrealistic to climb over the wall, there are air defense systems on the city wall to deal with those powerful monks who can fly.

Wu Chen only slashed at the city wall a few times with the attribute knife, and the hardness, thickness, height and other attributes of some of the walls continued to decay, so the heavy marble wall was smashed by him with a punch.

In this way, he stood on the street of the commercial district of Forget Worry City, looking at the dense flow of people in front of him, and experiencing the familiar years of tranquility.

In the whole city, no one knew that an uninvited guest had quietly arrived, and no one could predict whether the city would repeat the mistakes of Nanshan City.

Wu Chen walked into an uninhabited alley, suddenly closed his eyes, and the whole world changed violently under the movement of his mind, the sky darkened, a cold breath came to his face, and all humans and animals disappeared.

He walked out of the alley, and the dark and silent streets spread to the end of the city, where iron-gray smoke slowly rose around the buildings, a parallel space of the city, where there were no areas for human and animal activity.

Although he had entered such a space countless times, seen too much weirdness and horror, and experienced too much mystery and bizarreness, Wu Chen still had a trace of palpitations at this moment.

He could feel that this alien dimension was far more mysterious and powerful than that of Nanshan City, and at the end of the quiet and bleak streets, there were occasional strange laughter of girls, cries of babies, and the roars of monsters.

These strange things, which have completely untouched attributes, live in the same space, but they show an indescribable harmony, faintly, as if something is quietly watching them.

And now, that thing is watching this discordant humanity too.

Wu Chen shivered quietly, his mind moved, his body had already left the alien dimension, he didn't dare to stay in it for a long time, because the alien dimension was far more dangerous and terrifying than the real world.

The slender figure reappeared in the alley, and he opened the system panel, in which the "spirit value" had become "70%+" and began to grow slowly.

The alien dimension cannot be entered indefinitely, and it will consume a lot of energy every time.

He found a pawn shop nearby and exchanged the valuable items in the storage ring for a small fortune.

Then it was another blind meal and bought some daily necessities.

At noon, Wu Chen walked into a noodle restaurant and ordered a large bowl of ramen and two grilled sausages.

Although I have some money now, I still like the taste of petty bourgeois consumption, and ham sausage and ramen are indeed a golden pair.

The owner of the noodle shop looked like a self-cooked outside, and he smiled at the steaming noodles, and the conversation box was endless as soon as he opened it.

"Young man, your noodles, watch the hot. The boss sat down at the table on the other side, picked up a towel and wiped his hands.

"Young man, you don't look like a local, you are also here to work. ”

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

"yes, you just came here, you can see that?"

"Hey, uncle is an old man, these eyes are poisonous, my noodle restaurant has been open for more than 20 years, and a local boy of your age doesn't need to look at the menu to know what noodles are!"

Wu Chen couldn't help but sigh a little that the uncle's mind was delicate, when he just came in, he did stare at the menu for a long time.

"Why are there so few people who come to eat noodles at this time?" Wu Chen asked while eating noodles.

Normally, this kind of cheap shop should be full at noon, but at this moment, there is only one customer in Wu Chen.

"Don't mention it, as soon as the shopping mall opposite is blocked, the customer flow will immediately decrease several times," the boss uncle pointed across the road, "But it doesn't matter, we won the battle a few days ago, and the government reduced our taxes for a whole year, and we can earn it back when the blockade ends." ”

Only then did Wu Chen notice that there were no private vehicles outside the gate of the shopping mall opposite, and many heavily armed city defense troops formed a siege network around the building.

"Something happened on the other side?"

"Who knows, the news blockade is very strict, and it is said that there are gangsters taking hostages inside, and the ghost believes it. Uncle Boss pouted.

"What do you mean?" Wu Chen asked again with a roasted sausage in his mouth.

"It's not simple, it's been locked down for several days, if there are really hostages, why don't you see your family members coming, and why aren't there any police outside to negotiate with the gangsters?"

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, Uncle, what kind of noodle restaurant did you open on a whim, if you go to be a detective and catch the junior, you will definitely be able to make a fortune.

"I guess it has something to do with the serial disappearances some time ago," the uncle continued to talk eloquently.

"Some time ago, there were a lot of people missing in the mall, and there was a lot of uproar, and the police didn't find out what they had to do, and finally they had to stop it. ”

"Shouldn't there be cameras everywhere in the mall?"

"Speaking of this, it's really evil, the crime scene is in a place where there are no cameras, such as toilets, stairs, fitting rooms, etc., and ah, there is no trace of a fight around, as if it disappeared out of thin air. ”

"Disappear out of thin air......" Wu Chen frowned, and faintly guessed.

"Yes, it's weird, isn't it, I've even seen that they have invited a lot of Taoist priests to do it these days!"

"Taoist priest...... Useful?" Wu Chen looked surprised.

"Then who knows, if it sounds good, it is called a Taoist priest, and if it is ugly, it is some charlatans, where to give money and where to drill, pretending to be a god and fooling people. ”

Wu Chen nodded, thoughtful.

"Having said that, there have been a lot of weird things in the city recently," the uncle took a sip of water and continued, "The network maintenance team has been deleting posts to control panic, but this mouth grows on people, how can the news be controlled." ”

"Maybe there really are ghosts or something like that. Wu Chen smiled and continued to eat noodles.

"You're ...... lad Do you know something?"

The uncle is really thoughtful, and he can see the clues from Wu Chen's attitude towards this matter.

"To tell you the truth, I'm just a little Taoist, professional exorcist and evil spirits, uncle, this is my business card. ”
