Following.

The front page of the Ancient City Evening News carried a blockbuster report.

Last night at the Gucheng Hotel, the New Year's banquet held by the warlord Li Qing was attacked by red fog, including Li Qing himself, the guests present, and the hotel staff were all unexpected, and no one survived.

According to reports, when the follow-up people entered the banquet hall, they could only see the tragic mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and they couldn't distinguish who each corpse was.

Since all the people in power in the old city government attended the banquet, the whole city was left without a leader, and the upper echelons of the whole city were in chaos, and many people had evil intentions and wanted to take power.

However, at four o'clock in the morning, as if expected, the rebels quickly cut through the chaos, and suddenly took control of the police station, the army headquarters, the administrative organs and the transportation arteries of the old city, and after some fierce negotiations, at eight o'clock in the morning, the rebels had already occupied the old city.

As for the rebel prisoners who were supposed to be executed this morning, they have naturally been rescued.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, big news, Li Qing's dog thief is dead, Master Qingtian is here!"

The newspaper boy who sold the newspaper shouted loudly, he was General Li Qing the day before, but today he has become a dog thief, and it is faster to turn his face than to turn a book.

"I'll tell you, I opened a shop here yesterday, and suddenly it was foggy, and then I seemed to hear something, and when the fog cleared, I found that the hotel was noisy and shouting, ouch hey, guess what, the Li dog thief is dead!"

In front of the bookstore, a few nearby shops were sitting and chatting, and soldiers in rebel uniforms walked by on the street, as if to arrest possible resistance forces that still supported the warlords.

Of course, the main army of the old city has already surrendered, and the change of flags is not so violent and bloody, for most of the people of the old city, it is just a night of firecrackers.

It can also be regarded as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

The owner of the bookstore is quite happy, there are many people who buy newspapers today, and his business is good.

While he was making calculations, he heard a somewhat lazy voice.

"Boss, is there still "The King in Yellow"?"

Looking up, the owner of the bookstore saw a tall and thin man, dressed in a plain suit and vest, like an ordinary small worker working in the patent office.

The man's eyes were a little dull and divergent, and he didn't seem to be resting well, and the whole person had a gloomy and decadent temperament.

Hearing the other party's words, the bookstore owner's eyes lit up, he cleared his throat, and spoke in a matter-of-fact manner.

"The shelves are sold out, there should still be in the warehouse, guests, you go with me to have a look?"

"Okay."

The man nodded, and followed the bookstore owner softly to the storeroom behind the bookstore.

When I opened the storeroom, I saw a woman lying in the corner of the quilt covered with a quilt, and she was disturbed by the sound of the door opening before she woke up, opened her eyes, sat up, and pulled up the quilt to cover her body.

This is exactly Tang Xiaomeng.

"Who are you?"

Tang Xiaomeng's memory only stayed in her room and looked in the mirror, she tried to recall, but the next moment, countless noisy whispers sounded in her ears, and the knowledge she had never been exposed to in the past washed over her brain like a tsunami, making her dizzy.

Then, she saw that there seemed to be a huge spider crawling on the roof of the warehouse, it was made of flesh and blood, and it was terrifying.

In the distance, a low roar like a dragon was heard, and a colossal shadow swept through the window, blocking out the sunlight.

Even the strange man in front of him seemed to have a dark shadow entrenched on his body, weird and terrifying.

"It's okay already, those are just auspicious pieces from distant stars, you'll get used to it slowly."

The man put his hand on Tang Xiaomeng's shoulder, and soon, Tang Xiaomeng felt that the noise in his ears had subsided a lot, and that knowledge had also hid in the ravine of his brain like a worm afraid of the sun.

I don't know if it's her delusion, but the warehouse has become a lot brighter.

"Xia Yi entrusted you to me."

The man continued.

Hearing Xia Yi's name, Tang Xiaomeng's eyes showed incomprehension and confusion.

But soon, some flowing memories came to mind, and unlike the previous torrent of knowledge that had destroyed and decayed, as if to completely transform her consciousness, it was soft, warm, and flowed like a stream glittering in the sun.

This is Xia Yi's memory.

Tang Xiaomeng was confused at first, then surprised, and finally, turned into incomprehension and sadness, this memory is too profound, like a personal experience.

She saw Xia Yi's sinking, struggling, feeling his pain and persistence, and finally everything turned into that look, Tang Xiaomeng had seen it, it was Xia Yi's eyes when he was a student when he told his ideals, and after many years, that look remained the same.

As first seen.

"A man's character is his destiny."

The man sighed lightly, and he looked at Tang Xiaomeng again, knowing that she had understood everything.

"Pack up, I'm going to take you to a place where you can take complete control of the power contained in your body before you get out of control and become one of those monsters."

He said meaningfully.

Tang Xiaomeng subconsciously raised his head, and the flesh spider was approaching, tilting his head, looking at the three of them.

"Who are you?"

The knowledge in her brain told Tang Xiaomeng not to care about these monsters, she swallowed her spit and asked the man.

"You can call me Kiriyama."

The man said flatly.

"It's just a passing home."

In Qiao Dui's sight, the melody flowing in the twilight sun outlines the suppressed and crazy words of the system.

"Got a lot of money?"

He looked at the Chosen One points in disbelief.

After buying the [Human Guide] before, his points had fallen to single digits, and now, he has directly gained a wave of fat.

Sure enough, it is the [erosion] difficulty that elementary school students will decisively choose!

"It's me!"

Qiao Du couldn't help but brag to herself.

"Yay!"

A voice responded.

Qiao Du immediately looked around, but didn't find anyone, even the guy who was squatting in the corner before didn't know where he had gone, the editorial office of Scientific Exploration was empty, only the grass in the pot on the windowsill, green as new.

"Hey, are you there?"

Qiao Du leaned over and asked politely.

"No, CNM!"

Another voice rang out again.

Jotwilight frowned, because this time he heard it, and the voice was not coming from somewhere else, but from his body.

"Look at what you see, and I'll drink you if you look at it again!"

A voice rang out from Qiao Dui's chest.

Qiao Du thought for a moment.

Reaching out, he opened his chest, then pulled out his heart and looked at it carefully.

"You say it again?"

He said to his heart.
