Chapter Forty-Nine: In the Rainstorm
Highway toll intersections, because of the dark clouds, now it is dark here as if it is night. The torrential rain began to fall as soon as the clouds gathered in, and every now and then a bolt of lightning fell from the sky to illuminate the surrounding buildings, and then it reverted to darkness.
In the artificial toll booth on the side, the hapless stranded staff are cursing the damn weather. He should have been told to leave when the rainstorm came, but no one told them to leave when the rain came. His colleague slipped away when he saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and only he was afraid that he would be deducted from his salary if he left, so he did not leave together.
When he saw the heavy rain coming and wanted to leave again, the heavy rain outside had already rained and it was difficult for him to leave the toll booth, so he could only shrink in the toll booth and wait for the rain to light up before leaving.
Another flash of lightning lit up the surroundings, and the loud thunder startled him. He looked outside and was about to curse, but suddenly saw a black shadow illuminated by thunder, which made him block the curse in his throat.
A bad premonition appeared in his mind, he also heard about the Maybach driver who disappeared many years ago, and he also expressed his opinion when bragging with his colleagues.
"How can there be ghosts?" While he was talking to comfort himself, he was silently reciting Amitabha Buddha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable and the like in his heart, but the next second it was a thunderbolt that crossed by, allowing him to really see the black shadow clearly.
It was a figure wrapped in a black robe, standing about 50 meters outside the toll booth. It was right up to the toll booth, and it seemed a little closer than the last time he saw it!
A cold sweat came out as soon as he "snorted", and he found that he was not as panicked as he imagined, and the powerful fear calmed him down. Without much hesitation, he quickly opened the door of the toll booth at a speed that he would never have in normal times, and ran quickly to the staff parking lot and unlocked his car under the rain that hurt a lot on his body.
When he had just performed that set of movements, he was completely angry and did not dare to take a breath. It wasn't until he sat in the car that he dared to breathe, and his heartbeat recovered and beat rapidly.
He didn't care about his soaked clothes, and after feeling that his heart had dropped a lot, he immediately started to start and left the toll booth without looking back, he was afraid that when he turned around, he would see a dark figure sitting in the back seat.
It wasn't until he was far away from the toll booth and the rainstorm had subsided a lot that he dared to look into the blurry rearview mirror and look behind him. He looked in the rearview mirror just as another lightning bolt fell, and then he saw the black shadow at the toll booth intersection, which seemed to be looking at him and the departing car from a distance, and did not make any other moves.
Lu Mingfei watched the last staff drive away before turning around and entering the highway intersection. While the staff member was still there, he wanted to get close to the toll booth and cast a magic spell on the staff member to make him fall asleep.
As a result, before Lu Mingfei could get closer, he was exposed by the thunder light. Then he witnessed the operation of the staff, and he silently watched him leave. As for the problem of exposure, he didn't care at all, and there were many rumors that this place was haunted, at most, there were multiple people who saw the hell.
Not long ago, Lu Mingfei took a taxi to this neighborhood and ran all the way over. On the way, when he saw that the sky was dark, he changed into a cloak, which matched the current weather and thunder. From the perspective of the spectators, you can only see a black figure appearing in the thunder light, and then disappearing after the thunder light, and when the next thunder light comes, you can see the figure in the distance. It's just weird, but fortunately, there is no one else on the road now except for the staff just now.
Without further ado, he stepped into the highway and ran towards the center of the mana's concentration. The lack of cars on the road made it much easier for him, his cloak was waterproofed, and the rain didn't affect him much.
Finally, we came to the center of the magic gathering, a place like the eye of the storm of a magical typhoon. But the weather here is not as peaceful as inside the typhoon, the rainstorm and thunder and lightning are more rampant here, and the visibility around is reduced to a minimum, and Lu Mingfei also has the super vision and eye runes of the golden pupil to see things nearby.
He looked around the neighborhood and compared it with the highway in his memory, except that it was raining a little heavily, and he didn't find anything strange.
Then he closed his eyes and felt it, and he could indeed feel the magic gathering here and there, disappearing somewhere, and then a new magic was generated, as if he was breathing. It's a pity that he doesn't have the magic eye that can see the magic change, and he can't observe the source of the magic change here.
But Lu Mingfei was not completely helpless, he raised his finger to write a rune, but before the rune could be formed, he withdrew his finger.
The golden half-formed runes began to crumble without a new infusion of mana, and then turned into something like ink, and after being swept up by the magic of this place, it finally floated somewhere, and disappeared.
Lu Mingfei had been staring at the collapsing rune, watching it float past the guardrail and disappear into mid-air outside the guardrail. After the rune disappeared, he also came to the guardrail and looked out, and with his eyesight he could see that there was nothing to care about outside the viaduct except for farmland.
Nothing, is there still a missing key or an invitation? Lu Mingfei secretly guessed. Not surprisingly, the place where the magic disappeared was probably where Viaduct 0 was located. But now he can't move forward at the door, Chu Zihang estimates that the situation is the same, but Chu Zihang may be worse than him, it is estimated that he doesn't even know where the entrance is, and he is still searching for the entrance at full speed.
Is the problem really still on Chu Tianjiao? Chu Zihang really still hid something from him, and his experience at the No. 0 viaduct was definitely more than what he said.
Sighing, Lu Mingfei understood Chu Zihang's approach a little, and he was not qualified to say anything, after all, he himself did not drag out Chu Zihang and conceal his abnormality. In a sense, he also used Chu Zihang to fish out the people who were following him.
pursed his lips, Lu Mingfei was a little unwilling to run for nothing. The convergence of this abnormal rainstorm and the magic power of the Great Source proves that this weather is abnormal, and it may be a little difficult to encounter this weather in the future.
He decided to try to crack it first, so Lu Mingfei turned over and stood outside the guardrail. The magic gathered on the soles of his feet, and he wrote a new rune and attached it to his feet.
This is a floating rune, a reference to the Norse Valkyrie's flying equipment: the Swan Dress, a simplified version of the flying magic. Because it is a simplified version, it can only fly short distances, and it can't fly too high, but it is enough to cope with the situation in front of you.
The rune had taken effect, and Lu Mingfei felt that his body had become very light, as if he could fly high with a jump. Having had many flying experiences, he naturally understood that this was just an illusion, and the current rainstorm also interfered with his flight path, and if he was not careful, he could easily be swept down by the torrential rain and fall off the viaduct more than 30 meters above the ground.
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Ming looked intently at the air in front of him. Then take a hard leap! He glided for some distance and was shaken by the torrential rain, but he finally stabilized.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei was floating in the air, the edge of the black robe on his body was blown by the wind and rain, flying everywhere, circling around his feet, coupled with his image at the moment, like a god of death harvesting souls.
Lu Ming began to chant when he was not steady, but the language in his mouth did not belong to Rune, but to the summoning spell of the Shadow Country. Broken Jar Broken, he intends to use the only spell he knows of about the Otherworldly Summon. This is a life-saving spell given to him by the Queen of the Shadow Nation, allowing him to gain the Shadow Nation's protection against instant death damage from his enemies.
With his ability, he naturally can't summon the Shadow Country, and whether there is a Shadow Country in this world is still two talks. However, the Shadow Realm, like these Otherworlds, is outside the Overworld, and its summoning spells themselves contain the ability to communicate with them. All Lu Mingfei needed was this part of the spell. But he didn't break down the part of the spell separately, and now he could only recite it completely.
"The City of Shadows as I know them, the City of Shadows that shelters me. Come from the sky, come here! After chanting the incantation, the air in front of Lu Mingfei began to shake violently, as if something was about to come out.
Did it really work? Lu Mingfei himself is a little incredible. But before he could think about it, he felt the magic around him flow rapidly. Then the next second, he stepped on the ground with a heavy body.
