Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Formation Fails

The three of them hid in the tall and messy artemisia grass, crossed the grass heads, formed a cocoon-like grass nest, and nested inside. One for each person, three cocoons, one to hide in the grass, and the other to hide from annoying mosquitoes.

For several days the smoke did not subside, fatigue and hunger accompanied each other every day, and real people were sleepy and tired. Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun took turns to be on duty at night, not allowing Long Yang to participate, although Long Yang was idle on the surface, but he was anxious.

"I'll come tonight, you two have a good rest, there may be more things tomorrow, and you will have the energy to deal with it after resting." Long Yang sensed that the white smoke was thinning and knew that he could enter the range of Nameless Town tomorrow, and the two of them were really hard, so he offered to be on duty again on the night shift. Long Yang also has some ideas, that is, he wants to find the moment when the white smoke disappears as soon as possible.

"No, let's do it together." Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun still insisted that the two of them take turns on duty, trying not to let Long Yang be on duty at night, after all, this is their duty.

"In this way, since you have repeatedly insisted, you are worth the first half of the night, and I can always come to the second half of the night." Long Yang made a compromise proposal, hoping to get the consent of the two.

"Okay." Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun looked at each other, and when they saw that Long Yang was also very persistent, they immediately nodded in agreement.

The night was getting deeper, Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun were already asleep, and Long Yang was in a state of tension and excitement, after all, the mystery of Nameless Town was about to be solved, and he had no intention of sleeping.

Long Yang would poke his head out every once in a while to observe the changes in the outside, the white smoke was no longer like white smoke, gradually thinning, but it was always shrouded in an unknown place. It seems that the energy of the Ecstasy Formation is getting weaker and weaker, and we can see it tomorrow. Long Yang retracted into the grass cocoon with peace of mind, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

When the first birdsong of the morning sounded, Long Yang immediately crawled out of the grass cocoon.

Not good!

How can white smoke envelop us in the place where we are hiding?!

Just as Long Yang was about to call Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun to get up, Long Yang found that there was a difference.

It's fog!

It's real fog!

And not white smoke!

Or rather, this is a naturally rising fog, not a white smoke generated by the formation.

The white smoke formed by the formation is thick and dense, not divided into levels, and cannot be seen. It is to isolate people's sight, hearing, and senses, and block all feelings.

And the fog, some thin and some thick, wisps.

There can be romantic thoughts, and there can be dreamy visions.

Could it be said?

Long Yang immediately got up and entered the area that was originally shrouded in white smoke.

The white smoke is gone, it's all naturally generated fog, a fog made from the mountains.

Long Yang couldn't care to call out to the two of them, and couldn't wait to rush into the nameless town area.

"Ahem!"

Long Yang suddenly choked and coughed, another taste, pungent taste, smoky taste, and the smell of fire. Hey? Long Yang didn't react for a while.

At that time, the white smoke of the formation did not have any taste, it was just a formation that confused everyone. The white mist of the early morning, the smell of the morning dew, the feeling of nature, the taste of nature. Today, it's artificial.

This made Long Yang even more urgent, and he wanted to rush to the center of the town immediately.

The fog is not like white smoke, and Longyang has already vaguely seen the shadow of the nameless town.

Luckily, the town is still there.

Long Yang rushed to the town desperately, still thinking about the shadow of Old Man She's family.

Before approaching, Long Yang was dumbfounded.

The town is not a town, and the scene in front of you is not what it used to be.

The whole town was completely dilapidated, and it had lost what little vitality and vitality it had left. The houses collapsed and the courtyards were dilapidated, like the former residence and scenery of a hundred years ago. The yellow weeds burned and crackled on their own.

Long Yang remembered that when he first entered Nameless Town, there were still trees on the streets of the town, but now they were dead. I remember that there was bubbling well water, which has now dried up. I remember that although few people walked, there were no people now.

The town, which had been almost lifeless, was now completely gone.

Really?

Is it really a formation that extracts vitality? Is it really the same ending as Jin Village?

Without waiting for Long Yang to think about it, he quickly entered Old Man She's house. The situation inside is the same as the outside, there are no people, and the courtyard is lost.

What about people?

Long Yang looked around, but he couldn't find any clues.

Inside and outside the house, inside and outside the town, inside and outside, Longyang searched all over the place.

Long Yang didn't find anyone in the town, nor did he find any trace that could explain the mystery in his mind.

"Longyang!"

Long Yang looked out of the town, and it turned out that Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun had also rushed here.

"You don't say hello to us when you come here, and we'll be looking for it. What's going on here? ”

The two of them were out of breath, and it seemed that they were also in a hurry to get here, and they didn't know the situation here.

"Two, you go back quickly, find Director Xu, the formation here has disappeared, let him bring someone over." The matter was urgent, and Long Yang didn't have time to explain too much.

"What about you?"

"I'm fine, be quick!"

The things that Long Yang decided could not be changed, and he did not take into account the identities of Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun, and directly asked them to do so.

What they didn't expect was that Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun really didn't argue with Long Yang's decision, and directly promised Long Yang to go back to find reinforcements. Before leaving, the two still said one sentence in unison, "Stay safe!" ”

In fact, when Director Xu was leaving, he not only asked the two to protect Longyang, but also instructed, "If you encounter special circumstances, listen to Longyang!" Long Yang didn't know, and he didn't have time to think too much, he just wanted to find the villagers of Nameless Town in time, as well as the many missing children.

After Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun left, Long Yang returned to Old Man She's house again, hoping to find some clues from his house.

After all, Old Man She had been in contact with that group of mysterious people, and further, they should know each other, and furthermore, Old Man She should know more secrets.

Old Man She's home is very simple, with two beds and a stove.

Long Yang remembered that when he came to this town, it was Old Man She who took him in. He allowed himself to sleep in a small bed with only one partition in between. There is nothing suspicious about the small bed, but what about the large bed?

The big bed is where the old man and his grandson live, the bed is attached to the north wall and the east end, the bed is nothing more than bedding and clothes, messy and old, all of which are daily things, and there is nothing suspicious.

Just as Long Yang was about to leave, he suddenly found that there were faint traces on the north side of the bed, which was also the north wall.

What is it? It seems to be handwriting, no, not that thick pen. It seems to be a scratch, no, no one has scratched a dark mark on the wall. It seems to be a cloth belt, like, like a cloth belt, no, the cloth belt is not so delicate. It's a ribbon, a trace of a ribbon.

Just as Long Yang was thinking so, the dark marks on the wall gradually became clearer and more obvious, like a ribbon embedded in the wall. Moreover, the color of the ribbon became more and more obvious, gradually showing pale red, red, blood red.

"This, this is?"

Long Yang couldn't help but take two steps back and carefully observe the secret mark on the wall.

Just as Long Yang was carefully observing, the secret mark on the wall suddenly disappeared, leaving only the empty wall.

What's going on? Does this have anything to do with Nameless Town, or Yu Town, or Shezhen?

What is the red ribbon? What does it stand for? What does it have to do with Shezhen? And what is the connection with the formation?

The Ecstasy Formation causes white smoke, confuses people's forward path, stimulates people's normal spirits, and causes terrifying and terrifying effects. It's not terrible, but its source of energy is terrifying, it extracts the vitality of everything nearby to maintain the formation. This just shows that without nearby energy support, there would be no formation.

The current state of the nameless town, with dilapidated houses, withered trees, and no life, is a manifestation of the loss of life.

This can't help but allow Longyang to contact Jin Village, and the original state of Jin Village is that the mountain peak loses its vitality, the mountain peak collapses, and the mountain village is destroyed.

Is there a connection? With this thought, Long Yang's heart became even more anxious, especially wanting to know the answer immediately. With such a long way apart, will there really be a connection?

Just when Longyang was searching for no result, Director Xu had already rushed over.

It turned out that when Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun rushed back to ask for help, Director Xu had already brought people to come again, and they met on the road. And, they met a group of people on the road.

"Longyang, the people from Shezhen have found it." As soon as Director Xu saw Long Yang, he immediately told Long Yang a good news.

"Director, what did you say?"

"On the way here, we met the people of Shezhen, who were all sitting in the mountains, confused, and didn't know what was going on. It was not until we got to them that they came to their senses, and our comrades were taking care of them. ”

"Where are they?"

"Right where we were gathering."

Hearing Director Xu's answer, Long Yang couldn't speak, and immediately ran to the place where he had come at the beginning.

The crowd was dark and oppressive, the voices of people were noisy, children were shouting, and restless people were walking around. When Long Yang saw all this, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Mom, where are we?" Five or six-year-olds are calling.

"Dad, why are we not at home, how are we in the wild." The woman asked, trembling as she held her baby in her arms.

"His grandfather, what the hell is going on?" The old woman couldn't stop trembling.

All the people were terrified, they were scared. If it is said that they can still endure the danger they face, the key is the unknown danger and fear, which makes them uneasy, as if they are on the edge of the abyss.

Long Yang slowly approached the people in the town, and he didn't dare to act and say too much, for fear of disturbing them again. Long Yang nodded secretly, and said hello to the person who pacified the townspeople, he was looking, looking for a person, and that person was Old Man She.

Not here, not there, Long Yang searched carefully many times, but did not find Old Man She, even if it was his wife or his grandson, Long Yang had an ominous premonition.

No, is this all the people in town? Long Yang became suspicious, and he immediately found Director Xu and asked to check the population of the whole town to see if anyone was missing. Long Yang was worried, worried about the missing children and Old Man She's family.

Under the arrangement of Director Xu, the comrades in the institute counted the number of people while comforting the personnel. After careful searching, it was found that the children who had disappeared before were not there, the missing reporter was not there, Old Man She's family was not there, and everyone else was there.

Or are there fewer people, where are they?

She Zhen's formation has failed, so is the formation on the mountain also invalid?

Long Yang immediately put forward his own ideas and suggested that everyone rush to the cave on the mountainside.

The ecstasy formation takes the vitality of all things, the vitality has been lost, and the formation is invalid. Before rising, there was no hidden cave on the mountainside, and it was also because of the formation. Now that the formation energy has been lost, Shezhen has been revealed, and the townspeople have found it, then the cave can definitely be found.
