Chapter 299: The Silent City
What appeared in front of Zhou Xian's eyes was the original appearance of Zhongzhou City.
ββ¦β¦ Zhongzhou City? β
It's not Zhongzhou City in the game, but Zhongzhou City in the real world, which is the one where Zhou Xian is.
Walking out, Zhou Xian found that he was actually at the door of the game company.
"Isn't it connected to the real world? It's a big joke! β
Zhou Xian turned around, and the deep staircase was gone, replaced by the door of the game company.
When Zhou Xian touched it with his hand, he clearly felt that he seemed to be being repelled by some kind of force, it should be a wall of air.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of the air wall that Zhou Xian feels that he should be in the game world now.
"Huh? Can the property be used? Opening the interface, Zhou Xian found that this place did not seem to be restricted by the Great Emperor's Council, and his abilities seemed to have been restored.
In this case, Zhou Xian simply took out the Wujin Tiankui Sword, and then summoned the divine beast, which can be regarded as fully armed.
This place is so weird, it's better to be careful.
"By the way, and the hard driveβhuh? What about the hard drive? β
Zhou Xian originally got the data into a memory, but now the hard disk can no longer be found, Zhou Xian touched all over his body, but still did not find the thing.
He walked down the street for about five minutes, but Zhou Xian still didn't see a single person.
No, it's not just people, Zhou Xian can hardly hear the noisy sound of the city in his ears. There's clearly something wrong with this place.
"It's so empty......"
Walking on the road, Zhou Xian found it for the first time. Cities can be so empty. The originally crowded city of Zhongzhou is now like a silent steel forest.
Except for no one. The place is also very clean, and there is no dust and garbage between the streets. Although in the real world. There are also cleaning robots, but there will inevitably be dirty things in the streets and alleys.
But today, Zhou Xian is really the first time to see it.
"Why are you able to return to Zhongzhou here from the Great Emperor's Council? Why isn't there anyone here? β
Zhou Xian came to a nearby convenience store, and the automatic door of this store opened after sensing Zhou Xian.
After walking in, there was no one inside, and as for the food and goods, they were placed on top of the container at this time.
Zhou Xian looked over at the cash register computer here, and the date displayed on this computer was also today.
"It's really weird......"
Zhou Xian checked it suspiciously. I found that the computer was normal, and there seemed to be no problem with the time and power. But there is no one on the relevant surveillance video.
No matter how you look at this situation, it reveals a strange feeling.
Then, Zhou Xian tried to open the webpage again, but found that there seemed to be no problem with him doing so, and the webpage was easily opened.
But in this web page, Zhou Xian didn't see any content.
"This ......"
On the portal, there are buttons for various links and news. But the news of the day, the news of the previous day, was completely absent.
In other words, there is time here, but there is also a city. But there is no "human" at all. Since there is no one, there is no concept of information, and I have not received any information now. This is also a well-deserved thing.
But why is that?
The concept of "human" was forcibly deleted.
"It's like there's something missing. Person...... Person...... What would happen if there were no people? Zhou Xian returned to the street from this convenience store. Then I thought about it for a while.
"If there are fewer people, there will be no intersection. Without intersection, there will be no information exchange and change that will inevitably occur between people. In other words...... That is, there is less necessary conditions for karma to arise? β
Zhou Xian seemed to have understood in his heart that the existence of this place was by no means accidental.
The time walked unhurriedly, and soon it was half past ten in the evening, and Zhou Xian tried telephone, chat software, etc. during this period, but there seemed to be no way to get in touch. And the virtual helmet of this world doesn't seem to be able to enter the game.
"Hoo ......"
Zhou Xian simply sat down cross-legged at this time, and then regained some energy a little. Otherwise, if something strange happens, the current Zhou Xian has no way to deal with it.
After resting like this for an hour or so, it was already half past eleven in the evening.
At this time, although Zhou Xian still didn't understand what was going on in this world, he knew that the world here was definitely extraordinary.
The surroundings are quiet.
Time in this world seems to stand still, like a painting.
"It doesn't feel good." Zhou Xian stayed here, feeling uncomfortable all over his body, and a sense of crisis almost shrouded Zhou Xian's heart at this time. And at this moment, Zhou Xian suddenly heard the sound of an alarm. After hearing this voice, Zhou Xian immediately opened his attribute bar, but there was a skeleton symbol on it.
"Trouble, the system is starting to issue alerts."
Looking at the time on the street, it was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock in the evening. Zhou Xian looked at the clock, but he was thinking in his heart.
But somehow, looking at the time here, Zhou Xian seemed to have a feeling similar to quiet and peaceful in his heart, and the sense of crisis in his body seemed to be gradually removed.
"What's wrong with me......"
It's not just a physical feeling, but a similar feeling from the top of the primordial spirit.
It's so quiet, like just sitting here...... Forever.
"Zhou Xian......!"
At this time, Martin Luther King's voice made Zhou Xianmeng come back to his senses.
"Martin?!"
Zhou Xian, who came back to his senses, only felt that his head was covered with cold sweat.
"Where are you? There is a strange feeling everywhere......"
Martin Luther King clearly sensed the danger.
"Here it is...... It's probably something like a place made of illusions and hallucinations. Although this is the appearance of Zhongzhou City, this is just an "appearance" after all, and this place is definitely not the Zhongzhou City where Zhou Xian is located.
"No, this place doesn't look like it's made of illusions, it's like it's been twisted by another force...... Martin Luther King, Jr. seems to have a different view than Zhou Xian.
"Some kind of power is twisted? But what is so great a force that can twist such a city...... The same size place? Zhou Xian almost missed it.
"Well, I don't know, but it's something very powerful, and the relationship between cause and effect in this place seems to be a bit messy, and the only thing I can feel is this." Martin Luther King didn't seem to have much to do with this place.
"The power of distorting cause and effect...... Is it karma? "Is the power you are looking for in this place?
"Unlikely. I feel that this place has a rather pure feeling, as if there is no karmic breath. β
While it is true that karma can cause such widespread distortion, there is no trace of karma in this place
, so Martin Luther King Jr. judged that there might not be a situation in this place.
ββ¦β¦ There is a case. β
At this time, Zhou Xian seemed to feel something.
He walked towards a large supermarket.
As soon as he came in, Zhou Xian found that something was really wrong with this large supermarket, and a single smell of blood seemed to waft through it.
Walking towards the source of the smell of blood, Zhou Xian saw a corpse, this corpse was a middle-aged man-like person, he was wearing a suit, and it seemed to be someone from a game company.
Looking at it again, Zhou Xian found that the wrist of this person's right hand was constantly flowing blood, and the blood continued to flow to the drainage canal on the side.
The man was obviously dead, but the blood in his body didn't seem to stop.
Zhou Xian looked at the person for a moment, looked around again, and after about five minutes, Zhou Xian refocused his gaze on him. But at this time, Zhou Xian found that the blood on this person's wrist was still gushing, and this picture made Zhou Xian have an indescribable weird feeling.
"I'm afraid this person is already dead......"
Although this person's face is still the same as that of a living person, but in that face, it is full of distortion and fear, and there seems to be a feeling of not knowing whether it is happiness or relief, and Zhou Xian also went to this drainage canal to take a look, almost all of it is blood, not to mention one person's share, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are ten people.
Zhou Xian walked to the person's side, groped for a while, and found a personal terminal.
"Let's take a look at this first."
Zhou Xian didn't know what was going on here, but maybe there would be some evidence in it.
Zhou Xian looked through it for a long time and found a lot of phone numbers, including some information.
"It's 110, 120 and 119...... This guy made a lot of calls. β
However, the calls all failed - the calls here don't seem to go at all. Looking at this person's text messages again, a lot of them have also been sent.
"We were trapped in a place that looked the same as Zhongzhou City, but there was no one."
"We're in a strange Zhongzhou city, but there's nothing here."
βSOSβ
"Help me"
There were four text messages in total, but there was no doubt that they all failed.
"There doesn't seem to be a way to get in touch with the outside world."
Aside from this information, Zhou Xian didn't find any news. But Zhou Xian, who was unwilling, immediately entered the folder, hoping to find more useful information.
Fortunately, in the end, Zhou Xian finally sent some audio files in this person's folder, and he immediately clicked on these files.
"I'm Liu Wen, I can't send any information in this ghost place, Xiao Wang and a few of them suggested that I record it now......" (to be continued......)
