In the bustling city, the streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians, who are constantly repeating laughter and boredom, and live a busy or idle life.

Such days may be boring, but they can also find many interesting things in this monotonous life, and they are really happy.

Occasionally, some people fantasize about the day when something like this will change, such as suddenly becoming a superman, or having superpowers. Of course, if you tell your friends about this idea, it will probably only get them laughing, after all, there is no such magical thing.

But they didn't know that there was such a group of people living in the ancient city next to it.

These people are different, they can stand like supermen in the air and point a finger of gravel, but they can only condescend to a corner, repeating boring cultivation every day, and walking on the street need to be afraid, because at any moment a catastrophe may fall from the sky and take precious lives.

If it were you, what kind of world would you like to live in? It's a complex question, because it's only when you come into contact with these two worlds that you can really make a choice.

On top of a high-rise building, the brand-new red nan wooden door carved bridge, the orange and yellow lines and the color of the red nan itself reflect each other, and it looks very exquisite. A hand rested on the silver handle, and with a gentle pull, the door opened, revealing an office inside.

Plates of unknown plants are placed on either side, bookshelves are piled with all kinds of documents, the chandelier on the ceiling is simple and beautiful, an oil painting of a landscape is placed on the wall along with a few photographs, and the room is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

It's a great place to work, but this person isn't in the mood to come in and look at the objects that he already knows.

He walked over to the desk and looked at the busy figure sitting in his office chair reviewing papers.

"Mayor, you have a clue about what you asked me to investigate. ”

Hearing this, the man finally put down the seal and documents in his hand and raised his head.

In front of him was a young man of nearly thirty years old, although he looked like a Sven man was also white, but he was a real special forces.

"Say it quickly. ”

"The frequent shocks and visions during this period were caused by the ancient city, and the unidentified corpse smuggled by the gang was also transported from the ancient city. ”

Although he had already guessed such a result, Qin Shang was still a little unacceptable.

"What do these bastards want to do. ”

Knocking on the table hard, the aftermath of the collision between the teacup and the cup holder continued to reverberate, disturbing Qin Shang's mind.

You must know that the Stranger has not moved for a long time, they are like people living in two worlds who have not intersected, and originally hoped that time would allow the Stranger to slowly decline, but now it seems that it can't be so hasty.

"There is also bad news. ”

Qin Shang's brows furrowed even deeper, and after taking a long breath, he said, "Say it." ”

"All the Strangers from other countries have gathered with us. ”

"What!"

This news shocked Qin Shang to stand up from the office chair, and the office chair was squeezed to the back as he got up.

I can't blame him, after all, this news is indeed shocking enough, just the original hundreds of thousands of abilities in this ancient city have given him an extreme headache, and now there are more abilities, how can he stand it.

"The number of Abilities in other countries is much smaller than ours, and I estimate that the number of Abilities in that ancient city has not exceeded 200,000 now. ”

"Damn it, how did they get here. ”

Looking at Qin Shang's annoyed look, Li Linan could only smile bitterly.

"They're strangers, so if they really want to come over, I'm afraid there are many ways, but there are also a lot of unlucky people who have been caught by the military. ”

Qin Shang looked down at the desktop, and kept thinking about countermeasures in his heart, this new city has paid a lot of his efforts, if it is an unfavorable factor for this new city, he must eliminate it, who made him the mayor, this is his responsibility and obligation.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Shang raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Xiao Li, are you willing to take risks?"

Li Linan smiled.

"I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time since I was discharged from the army, to be honest, the peaceful life now is really not suitable for me, if I hadn't obeyed the orders of the organization, I would have gone to the ancient city to see what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods were like the superpowers. ”

Looking at the excitement on Li Linan's face, Qin Shang sighed, indeed, a special forces soldier who has been around for more than ten years is always impatient after coming back, he can often see Li Linan running around the park with a weight in the morning, and going to the square to play military boxing when he is fine.

He is a soldier with enthusiasm, but when a soldier takes off his uniform, will he change? No, this still cannot change the essence of his soldier.

"I know that you have been a special soldier for more than ten years, and you can't change your enthusiasm and pride. But this time it's infiltrating the ancient city, a place full of supernatural beings, and you have to put safety first, understand?"

"Don't worry. ”

Although he responded like this, Li Linan's face still couldn't contain the excitement.

Shaking his head slightly, Qin Shang pulled back the office chair that had stopped rotating, and sat down on it.

"Xiao Li, this time I hope you can find out what is going on in the ancient city, such frequent visions and the arrival of supernatural people from other countries is definitely not a trivial matter. Bring as much equipment as possible, of course, everything is based on safety, don't force it, you must come back alive. ”

"Understood. ”

As if returning to the army, Li Linan saluted Qin Shang and hurriedly prepared to leave.

"I'll report this to the higher authorities and ask for reinforcements, and I'll wait for you to bring back the news before making the next preparations, so you must come back alive. ”

Qin Shang felt that the reminder was not enough, so he added, the ancient city is a chaotic place, even if Li Linan is a special soldier, he can't guarantee 100% safety, he really doesn't want Li Linan to go forever.

The door had been closed, but Li Linan's voice still came from outside the door: "Understood." ”

Looking at Li Lin'an's departure, Qin Shang smiled bitterly and shook his head, to say that Li Lin'an is his favorite subordinate, since he transferred to work under him, every job has been done excellently, and all the details have been grasped perfectly. But I have never been more excited.

"It's the nature of men to be hot-blooded, and it seems that I'm getting old. ”

Although it is self-deprecating, in fact, Qin Shang is not that old, and now he is only in his early forties, and he has worked in this position for more than ten years and refuses to be promoted.

It's not that he doesn't have pursuits, it's just that those pursuits when he was young are no longer so important now, and now he just wants to watch the city continue to develop in his own hands, and then take the mayor's salary to let his wife and children live a relatively well-off life.

The word content for the status quo best explains his current state.

It's just that the status quo may be broken, that ancient city full of instability, Qin Shang clenched his fists tightly, and finally slowly fell.
