Villain: Master And Sister, Please
Chapter 187 Lifeless
Lin Heng frowned slightly, "Although I don't know what happened, let me tell you my mission first! Guanjie Town should be under the jurisdiction of your Yongzhou City, right. What are the monsters that appear here? "
"Guanjie Town!? You are going to Guanjie Town!" The young man suddenly became excited and shook his head quickly: "No! You'd better not go there. Three disciples who claimed to be Xuanyue Mountain came last month. And they went there like you did, and they all died.”
"died?"
Lin Heng asked, and then realized that many disciples from various sects and sects in Xizhou who were out on missions had indeed died last month.
He had heard the name Xuanyue Mountain, and it was a second-rate small sect.
That is to say, some sects have failed in this task in Guanjie Town, so they flowed into Qingxuan Sect.
But this is obviously a B-level mission. Even disciples in the Qi training stage can complete it. Even a vicious object cannot be so difficult to deal with.
The young man straightened his body and looked at the two of them, and said seriously: "Yes, people from Xuanyue Mountain came to the door and said that their identity tokens were broken, but they just asked. Did they go to Xuanyue later? Shanzhun, I don’t know.”
"Two Immortals, I was just ordered in the face of danger, and under the influence of Guanjie Town, people in the huge Yongzhou City are now in panic, with countless people staying behind closed doors.
The former chief of the department told me before leaving that he was going to Guanjie Town. If he didn't come back within seven days, I would take over the position of chief. The dynasty has not yet defined this matter. The sect mission you received should have been issued by the former chief! "
The city-state represents the power of the dynasty. Generally, the so-called sect's mission is for the city lord's palace to ask the immortal forces for help.
The so-called mission rating is only the result of the assessment of the dynasty forces.
As long as the cooperation task is completed, the information will be transmitted to the imperial capital, and then the three departments will coordinate the unified mobilization of rewards.
In other words, the city-state only serves as the dispatch station for tasks, and subsequent cooperation rewards will ultimately go to the dynasty capital.
In this way, there will be a time gap and information gap, such as the mission failure last month, the death of the palace leader, the disappearance of the chief executive, etc., and only the middle of this month can get a response.
"According to you, Yongzhou City will not be able to operate until the problem in Guanjie Town is resolved?"
"Yes! There used to be a lot of people in the city, and many people disappeared outside the city... If I didn't choose to close the city, there might be trouble."
"Okay, got it."
After getting the general information, Lin Heng and Jiang Caiyan left the Criminal Division Mansion.
The deserted streets looked deserted except for the half-open doors.
Lin Heng hugged the little demon girl from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, greedily inhaling the fragrance, which naturally made her nervous.
"Xiao Yanyan, you smell so good."
"Then let's go directly to Guanjie Town? This mission looks quite interesting. It's even weirder than the last time the special envoy died in Zhanfang City."
"You're not talking, are you?"
Damn~
After kissing her twice in a row, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shut up! What's wrong with you? Can't you just speak up?"
After saying this, he turned around and pushed him aside.
"If you want to complete the task, hurry up. If you can't get ten nutrients, I will capture you and feed you!"
"Ah..."
Lin Heng chuckled.
The two men continued without stopping, urging the foal to move 20 miles southwest.
Only half a day later, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the water river in the outermost ring of Guanjie Town.
This is an area surrounded by water. The entire town was covered by white mist, and only vague pavilion-style buildings could be seen.
Guanjie Town was originally just a larger village. Later, people gradually multiplied and spawned thousands of families.
Because it is surrounded by water, the conditions for growing spiritual plants are abundant, so it attracts more and more outsiders.
It then evolved into a small town.
At this time, it was dusk, and the sky was still a little bright. In the spiritual forest near the edge of the town, many trees fell down and blocked the aisles.
It doesn't look like a natural disaster, but more like traces of man-made deforestation.
"It's strange. These trees were obviously cut down by people. Why were they left on the road after being cut down?"
Lin Heng muttered something while observing his surroundings with his consciousness.
Not even the slightest movement within a hundred feet radius could escape his perception.
Just like the feeling of Yongzhou City, when you step into the streets of the town, it is also surprisingly quiet.
Even the silence is terrifying.
There was no chirping of birds, not even the sound of autumn insects crawling under the moist soil.
"The air of death here is quite strong. It doesn't look like there are traces of someone living here."
Jiang Caiyan spoke alone, breaking the mysterious atmosphere.
"How do you say this? What did you notice?"
The little demon girl has dealt with the dead a lot, so her perception in this area is much better than him.
"Don't you also feel that there is no one around you? You can understand the so-called 'death energy' as a characteristic that everything should have.
Just like we can use "dead objects" to describe all objects except life forms, such as tables and chairs. "
"What does this have to do with death?"
"It's related. When an area lacks life for a long time, it will give rise to a feeling of 'lifelessness'.
You should understand the principle of things declining at their extremes. There is no absolute life and death. Anyway, the feeling here to me is that there is no life at all. "
After Jiang Caiyan said this, Lin Heng suddenly became alert.
[There is no life at all... It seems so. The environment in the town is so humid that you can't even see the shadow of the plants. 】
At least there is a small forest surrounding the town.
The two spent about half an hour walking around the southernmost area of the town before dark.
From the regular topography, it is found that the entire town seems to be arranged in an inverted circle, and the outermost pavilions have two-story pointed conical roofs with uniform specifications.
The shape of the inverted round hexagram is used in folk customs to guard tombs, and the central area will gradually develop into a Feng Shui place.
Could it be that a cemetery was built in the center of the town?
Lin Heng had a doubt in his mind. Normally, no one would build a small town living area like this.
After exploring the outer area on the south side, the two walked towards the interior of the town.
It seemed that it had rained a while ago, and rainwater accumulated on the roofs of many pavilions, dripping to the ground from time to time.
The water droplets follow the air and eventually collide with the gravel on the loose soil on the ground.
At this time, the setting sun had flattened half of the body to the horizontal line, lengthening the shadows of the two of them, casting a little silence on the nearby wall.
There are still unsold goods stacked in front of the stalls nearby, and the yellowed packaging seems to prove that no one has been here for a long time.
There seemed to be something peeking at them from the cracks in the dark doors along the way.
Lin Heng walked in front holding the horse's rope, while his other hand gently patted the foal's neck to comfort it's nervousness.
Horses are very perceptive and it was obvious that they were feeling a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Caiyan walked behind, looking around with her magic blue eyes as if she noticed something unusual.
After performing the seal with one hand, invisible black thin lines surrounded the periphery.
After including Lin Heng and the carriage, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.
Lin Heng suddenly turned around and glanced at the little demon girl, and found that she was just looking around curiously, then turned her head.
[Hiss... The sense of prying eyes has disappeared. Did the little witch use special means? 】
[Somewhat speechless, this recent mission is so strange. There's not even a living person here, where's the monster? ? 】
Just as two people and a car approached the intersection ahead.
The next second, a lively noise came from the east side.
"Cultivation of immortal marriage, sacrifice to ghosts and gods."
"Blood oath, soul rope."
"Yin marriage alliance, dark road."
"..."
