Chapter 8: In the Fog

Xiao Yu drove the car on the ring road.

He could have chosen a faster way back to the city, but that would have attracted more attention.

This car is still too public......

The thick dust on the paint has been blown off a lot, and the showiness that has been hidden by the dust for a long time is now shining again in the sunlight.

At noon, the road is unusually empty, the red sports cars move unhurriedly, and the galloping horses become lazy horses for leisurely strolls.

Xiao Yu stretched his left hand out of the car window, feeling the delicate touch of the air rushing through his fingertips, like caressing a silky horse.

Turning around from the mountains, a sign with white letters on a blue background stands prominently at the fork in the road: 15km ahead, Dongshan Forest Park.

Xiao Yu recalled the words of his mother-in-law, and his mind moved.

It's all here, take a look......

Take a look and go, never get involved......

When the red prancing horse gradually approached Dongshan, Xiao Yu saw the strangeness of this place clearly.

It was noon, but the mountain was still wrapped in a thick mist, and the mist was like a huge pot lid, covering the whole mountain.

When I got closer, I found that there was a void in the mist, no reflected light, no sound, only a dead silence.

When he was about to approach the border of the dense fog, a cordon across the road stopped Xiao Yu.

"The mountain in front of you has collapsed, and you can't get through, go back." Out of the grass on the side of the road emerged a man wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a headset in his right ear, and a walkie-talkie pinned to his waist.

Xiao Yu recognized it at a glance, the gray hooded sweatshirt was one of the mission uniforms of the "organization".

This organization, called "Grolla", is an existence that is not known to ordinary people. They have assembled the world's magicians and mastered the power to destroy the world.

If the people of the organization came to Cangjiang simply to carry out tasks, then there was really nothing to worry about.

Moreover, according to the task level, white, green, yellow, red, gray, brown and black, this gray-level task may encounter a ruthless character that is difficult to deal with......

"That's right...... It's a pity......" Xiao Yu pretended to have a regretful expression on his face, put the car in reverse gear, and prepared to turn around.

At this moment, the thick fog suddenly expanded its scope, spreading to this end of the cordon, submerging the man in the hooded sweatshirt, along with Xiao Yu and the bright red sports car.

The thick fog was full of cold and dampness, and the scene that was still clear was also obscured by the thick fog.

The dense canopy of trees and the thick fog shrouded the forest in the darkness of the night.

"What's going on! Why did the scope of the enchantment suddenly expand?! ”

The man in the hooded sweatshirt roared into the walkie-talkie, which was answered by the sound of a cacophony of electricity.

Xiao Yu got out of the car and looked at the man in the hooded sweatshirt with puzzled eyes.

The man pretended to be calm, squeezed a stiff smile at Xiao Yu, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

"Don't bother, you can't hypnotize me."

"You're also a member of the organization?"

Xiao Yu didn't answer, but asked, "Don't you feel that the enchantment is still expanding?" ”

The man turned back and saw that the boundary of the mist was several feet away.

The man hurriedly turned around, pulled his legs and ran, and seeing that he had crossed the border, a dodge appeared in the thick fog again.

Two-way enchantment?

Xiao Yu saw everything that happened.

This dense fog is an enchantment laid by the organization to prevent ordinary people from breaking into the mission site, and it can have the effect of only entering and exiting when it is arranged. If someone accidentally breaks in, they will experience the encounter of "ghost hitting the wall" and always walk back to the same place.

"How so?" The man himself was a little confused.

According to the current situation, this barrier is not only impossible for people from the outside to enter, but also for those inside.

"Who laid the enchantment? Why is it a two-way street? ”

"I ...... I do not know...... I'm only in charge of watching the passage into the mountain......"

"And what's in this barrier?"

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Looking at this man who didn't know anything, Xiao Yu was a little angry: "I took the task without knowing anything, and you don't know how you will die in the future!" ”

Xiao Yu's anger was not aimed at the man.

He was angry that the organization still made such a complete effort to "isolate information."

"Since I can't get out, then I'll go in and have a look." Xiao Yu opened the car door and got into the car.

The man in the hooded sweatshirt trotted all the way and followed into the car.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu asked the man in the co-pilot, but the man did not answer, his face was full of fear, and his trembling lips faded blood.

Although the man didn't know Xiao Yu's identity, he felt that it must be safer to stay with the person in front of him than to be alone.

"Just joined the organization, right?" Xiao Yu's attitude softened.

"Hmm." The man nodded in a shudder.

The headlights come on, and the light dissipates in the fog into irregular columns, tiled down the narrow mountain road.

On the front windshield, the windshield wipers continue to carry away the condensed water droplets, leaving a view of the water lines and gradually being occupied by the water droplets.

"What rank are you?" Xiao Yu tried to calm the man's emotions by chatting.

The man didn't appreciate it very much, and recited the code word by word: "The organization stipulates that the rank and identity of the magician is the secret information of the organization, and it is not allowed to disclose ...... to outsiders"

Xiao Yu snapped his fingers with his right hand, and there was an extra golden playing card between his thumb and index finger.

"You're the King of Hearts?" The man's face showed joy and surprise, "Then it must be safe to stay with you." ”

When the man learned Xiao Yu's identity, the previous nervousness and fear disappeared, and there were more words in his mouth: "My name is Qiao Feng, and my current rank is square piece 5, and it is estimated that I can be promoted to one level after the assessment next month." I only awakened my ability half a year ago, brother, your ability should be congenitally awakened, right? ”

Xiao Yu responded with a light smile, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Qiao Feng continued; "I knew that a high rank like yours must be innate. If my ability had awakened a few years earlier and taken on the task earlier, I guess I would have been able to drive such a car now, my brother likes sports cars, and when I save some more money, buy a car, and take him to run the mountain......"

In Qiao Feng's nagging, the car stopped.

More than a dozen cars were parked in front of the road.

"It's all people from the organization?"

"Yes."

"I can only get out of the car and go......"

Xiao Yu got out of the car, leaned in front of him with one hand, and then waved it overhead, and a beam of light shot out of thin air above Xiao Yu, illuminating the pitch darkness ahead.

Qiao Feng applauded.

Xiao Yu looked embarrassed: "Haven't you seen the searchlight used on the stage?" ”

Without waiting for Qiao Feng to answer, a male voice came from the woods on their side: "If you don't want to collapse too quickly, hurry up and accept your magic." ”

The tone was cold, but full of power.

Xiao Yu came back to his senses, only to find that the light above his head was consuming the energy in his body at an extremely fast rate, and the energy used in this short period of time was enough to maintain it for dozens of minutes in normal times.

"My energy is beyond your imagination."

Xiao Yu controlled the light and reversed the position, reaching out to the bushes where the sound came from.

"Trust me, the stuff in this mist will keep sucking up the energy you've leaked......"

An extremely weak female voice came, and under the light, Xiao Yu saw a familiar figure.

Not only the figure, but even the face is the person he is very familiar with - Xia Buhe.
