Chapter 18: The Night of the Mist

Valentine and others, gone.

Ye Fang closed the door again.

"It seems that I said the shameless words that I want to fish for rich people, but only Valentine knows about this matter, and in order to make me pay back, not only will they not reveal half a cent to the outside world, but they can't even blatantly collect debts, but they will also try to help me build a good image and even help protect my and my family's reputation." Sophia let out a soft breath, "I feel like I'm a creditor." ”

Ye Fang shook his head: "You also said that Baron Neil has a lot of energy, unless you plan to die in the world, this money will have to be repaid sooner or later." ”

"Won't you say two nice words? What a ......," Sophia chuckled, "but, anyway, Mr. Invitee, thank you, not only for helping me out, but also for your thoughtfulness." You asked me about my strength before, because you wanted to determine whether it was possible for these people outside to use strong abilities and possibilities against me, right? ”

"I almost forgot to dress you, which reminds me that I'm a woman, so that's why I asked." Ye Fang shook his head, "Compared to the City of the Night, the Western Continent is simply a paradise, the city, the country, and the money are completely the appearance of an orderly society, not like the City of the Night, how to survive under the monsters is the first thing...... Moreover, this is just a delaying tactic, the money owed is real, although I don't know what the purchasing power of the old Japanese currency is, but judging from the previous information, this 800,000 is not a small amount, right? ”

"Well......," the girl replied softly, but for the first time her tone was firm, "it is indeed not a small amount, but I will pay it back, and it will be completely on my own, and I will pay it back alone, and I will also keep my family's reputation." ”

"Hmm. You help me, I'll help you. Ye Fang said, "But I really didn't expect that one of your problems would be money." ”

Sophia didn't seem to hear the second half of Ye Fang's words: "Huh...... Mr. Invitee, weren't you just saying that finding a rich man is the best way for me to do it? ”

"Don't you already see it? I'm just fooling that guy with 'facts.'" Ye Fang paused slightly and said, "How you want to go in life is your own decision, I will not interfere, I will only find a way to help you as much as possible when you are in need, just like you help me, and, as long as you don't want to say something, I won't ask half a word." And a relationship based on this kind of relationship will be much better if it is threatened or simply demanded, and it will make us less suspicious of each other, which is a good thing. ”

These words caused Sophia to fall silent for a moment, and then her usually gentle and gentle tone added a touch of seriousness and sincerity: "Thank you, Mr. Invitee. ”

Ye Fang didn't respond, just glanced up at the sky.

The morning of the Norton Empire is approaching, but there are three moons in the sky that is not fully lit.

From left to right, silver, white, red.

Three Moons......

Why can you only see one in Night City?

Silently staring for a moment, Ye Fang said:

"I'm gone, and I'll be back in twelve hours to learn the next secret art."

"Huh? ......"

Saying that, Ye Yi took the initiative to disconnect this possession state and immediately returned to his own body.

The newborn morning light, the bright girl, and the quiet city faded in an instant.

Instead, there was a chilling chill to the marrow.

Ye Fang opened his eyes, and his face changed immediately.

He didn't know when there was an extra "person" in his room.

It was a woman lying on the ground, her limbs twisted and bent on the ground in a strange position, prostrate on the ground like a crawling creature, her hair was scattered, her body and face were full of large and small abscesses and blood plasma, and the position of her eyes was empty, two black holes that were constantly bleeding.

Ye Fang, who was sitting on the bed, instinctively glanced at the direction of the door, and the purification technique was ready to start.

The door was still locked, and there was no sign of it ever being opened.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fang noticed-

It crawled around the ground like a spider, but its terrifying body seemed to be virtual, and it could pass directly through cabinets and walls, and it was not reflected in the broken mirrors of the room.

It's a ...... Phantom?

And at this moment, the creeper girl seemed to notice Ye Fang's movements, and suddenly raised her body slightly, grinning and letting out a "howl".

The sound did not echo in the real space, but echoed in Ye Fang's mind abruptly, cold and miserable.

"You...... Where is it?! ”

"I hear you!"

"I smell you!"

Ye Fang, who was originally brewing a purification technique, paused, he stopped all movements, and even held his breath for a short time.

The creeper girl moved quickly for a distance to this side, and even entered Ye Fang's iron frame bed, looking for traces of the living everywhere, but as Ye Fang stopped all movements, it seemed to lose its target in an instant.

Ye Fang looked at it quietly.

He sat on the bed, a little taller, just out of step with the creeper's horizontal height.

And when it was the closest, the semi-illusory body of this creeping girl was less than ten centimeters away from Ye Fang.

Ye Fang didn't move, his breathing seemed to have stopped, and only the eyes that were wide in the dark looked at the creeper girl without blinking.

It may have been a minute or more, and the creeping monster crawled around without finding its target, and finally crawled through the wall to the outside, and the terrible wail gradually became lower and farther away.

"I can hear you...... I can smell you......"

When the sound disappeared completely, and after another five or six minutes, Ye Fang gently pushed the door open and looked out, the thing was long gone.

And at this moment, Ye Fang noticed another anomaly.

It was foggy.

A mist drifted through the city of night, and even the blood moon became hazy.

But yesterday there was no fog.

It's better to find the Celestial Council safe zone quickly, there are indeed too many unknown dangers to wander around the Night City.

The garden shrouded in gray mist was also quiet, Ye Fang thought about it, took a light step, came to Wei Yuanwu's door, and knocked on the door.

Wei Yuanwu and Lin Di were still in the room, and they didn't seem to see the spider-like reptile girl, who were still studying the purification technique in full swing.

Seeing Ye Fang, Wei Yuanwu said with a depressed face: "Lin Di can rub out a small ball of light, but I don't react at all!" ”

Lin Di was indeed able to rub out a ball of light, but there was still a gap between him and the true purification technique.

At this moment, Ye Fangcai was really a little convinced, not everyone can learn the secret technique and can learn it quickly, even if it is a basic purification technique, there is a certain threshold.

So, I'm a genius?

Adventurers also have a talent bonus, so it works well with the secret arts.

Ye Fang glanced at his squad leader and said, "This kind of thing can't be rushed, grind slowly, anyway, it can't deal with the ...... of the werewolf's level."

Wei Yuanwu nodded, sighed, and said, "Ye Fang, did you learn this after you came to this world?" To be honest, I've thought a lot about it, and if we want to live in this world, we're afraid we have to master the extraordinary power that Paradise says, or ...... Otherwise, if we want to live, we will have to rely on luck completely...... I don't know if the safe zone that the vampire said really exists......"

Wei Yuanwu's face was very heavy, he was different from Ye Fang, a person who knew the worldview by hanging on, his understanding of paradise was still limited to everything he saw now, of course, he was uneasy and fearful.

Ye Fang didn't know what to say, so he only patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry." That safe zone should be real, go back and pack your things, tomorrow we will go along the river to find it, the human settlement is absolutely inseparable from the water, we will definitely be able to find it. ”

Ye Fang's swear was true, Wei Yuanwu's spirit was also slightly shocked, and said: "In this case, you are really calmer than anyone else, and full of optimism and hope. ”

Ye Fanggan laughed, and just about to say something, there were a few gentle knocks on the door of their room.

It was Hu Jiaming, a boy with pimples on his face with a frightened look on his face, trying his best to suppress his panic, and first asked a strange question: "Squad leader, are you okay?" ”

Wei Yuanwu frowned: "I'm fine, what can I do?" ”

Hu Jiaming said: "Li Tian, they ...... Something went wrong......"
