In Lu Minghai, the mist was steaming, and there was a faint green light in the environment. The light source came from unknown sources. Pios led a group of people into it, but they could not hear any movement and only felt lifeless.
The fog is as thick as smoke, but not charming. The people walking at the front try to blow away the thick fog, but if this place is full of lingering fog, where can it be blown away?
Visage Ryder looked at Hayate, who was very weak and coughing and wheezing. He also glanced at Ryder, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"There is a town ahead." The person who was exploring the road at the front came back and reported that after walking for one kilometer, a town indeed appeared.
The town is quiet. Everyone can only see the outline of the high wall. Enter through the doorway under the wall. There is a road at the door and grass on the roadside, but the grass does not cover the road. Does this mean that there are often people coming in and out?
No, this is more like a specimen of a town where time has stood still. All the scenery, including the flags erected on the wall, have remained status quo forever at a certain moment.
The gate into the town was unlocked and ajar. When it was pushed open, it made an old rattling sound. There didn't seem to be much difference between the inside and outside of the town, except that there were some more buildings on both sides of the road.
The buildings are not big, just the shops, houses and inns that should be found on both sides of the streets in ordinary towns. They seem to be dead, but they maintain their lifelike appearance. The originally static grocery store signs are shaking slightly, as if they are alive.
Entering here, there is an impact of airflow.
Suddenly, someone gave a short scream.
"how?"
"Damn it, there's someone!" The man stepped back from the fog and pointed in the direction: "I saw a person behind the floor-to-ceiling window over there!"
Everyone approached with their weapons in hand. They wiped off the dust on the floor-to-ceiling windows, turned on the light and looked inside. They were shocked to see a man sitting by the window, holding a coffee cup in his hand, but he was motionless.
"Is it a doll or a wax figure?" Someone looked at the light and saw unintelligible words written on the floor-to-ceiling sign of the store next door. But behind the sign, there was a dummy standing in the door. It should be a statue museum.
Or a puppet factory, but in front of you is a restaurant.
Someone put his face against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked in, not only observing the situation in the restaurant, but also observing the people sitting by the window: "It's not like wax men and dolls, it seems... just human beings."
While he was talking, Pios had already opened the door and entered the restaurant.
There are lights in the restaurant, and when they are turned on, the situation in the hall is generally illuminated.
Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a coffee cup, was a lady wearing black lace fabrics and a lace hat tilted, but her face was very young, only in her teens or twenties. She remained motionless, holding the cup in front of her chest.
It will look like it has not been drunk.
Pios stretched out his hand and pinched her face. His fingers were cold to the touch, but the skin was soft. Was it artificial rubber skin? No, this feeling was that of human skin.
"It's a human!" A member of the Sanguinea team also stepped forward to investigate. When he found out that the woman was really a human, he was shocked: "What's wrong with her?"
Pios judged: "This is probably what she looked like when she was alive." He wiped the table with his hand, and there was no dust. The cup of coffee was still there, and there was a half-used cake on the table. The number plate next to the plate was upside down.
The fruits still look fresh.
"You mean she died suddenly without any resistance or pain?" someone asked.
Jin Ke of Bloody Orchid said: "There is another person behind the counter."
This is a male animal-eared tribesman with a mustache and glasses. He is leaning on the counter with his chin in his hands. There is a book in his right hand. He is dressed like a waiter in a restaurant. His situation is very much like when business is bad.
, a bored waiter passing the time.
"Xiemen, this place is not normal."
"Nonsense, this place can only be normal if there are ghosts!" The two said one thing before and the other after.
Bashar tugged on the male waiter's animal ears, and it was true: "He is really an animal-eared tribe. Hey, look, does this guy look like the woman at the window?"
"They are very similar. Wow, are they twins?" Jinx compared them back and forth and confirmed that the two were really similar. Except for one boy and one girl, they were almost cut out of the same mold.
Everyone imagined that this was a restaurant run by a brother and sister. On the day they died, the older sister was sitting by the window drinking coffee and watching passers-by, while the younger brother was waiting for customers to come.
Hayate suddenly said: "It's their shop, why is there a number plate on the lady's dining table?"
"Yeah?" someone said, "And one of them is from the Beast-Ear tribe, and the other should be a normal human being. Can low-level demi-humans like the Beast-Ear tribe marry with humans?" He turned his attention to Pios.
"Okay." It was Bashar who spoke: "But what are the details. If Ke'er is here, she should know."
Everyone searched the restaurant and found nothing special, so they continued to search in the town. They saw more people on the streets, some walking, some playing in the water, and some chatting with people on the roadside.
, with a smile on his face. But the more everyone looked, the more their hair stood on end. They gradually discovered that adults, children, men, and women here all had the same face, even if they were full of wrinkles and beards.
Or look childish, they all clearly look the same.
"This...this...what's going on? Are they really human?"
Some in the team were frightened, and some were so frightened that they couldn't control themselves. They opened up a woman on the road with an axe. On the split section, it was clear that there was bright red flesh and blood, white bones and organs, and the blood and bone marrow slowly came out of the cut.
The cross-section seeped out and flowed to the ground. But the woman was still standing half-length on the spot, motionless with a fixed smile on her face.
Everyone gathered in a circle nervously, quietly observing every bit of the town. It took a long time until nothing unusual happened, and then they relaxed again. But this was not abnormal, it was the most unusual thing.
Ryder said: "City Lord, don't linger here, let's go straight to the target."
"Um."
…
On the other side, inside Lu Minghai, Bing Zhixie asked: "You didn't tell me your name, what secret do you want to tell me?"
The Ghost Man said: "Do you know how many Lu Minghai there are in the world?"
"How many places does Lu Minghai have?" Bing Zhixie really doesn't know, and he hasn't heard Drisco mention it. I guess the Illuminati doesn't know either.
The Ghost Man said: "To the west of the central part of the continent, there are three mountains, namely Kannao Mountain, Dagon Mountain, and Ilsius Mountain. There are three blood magic seals hidden in these three mountains."
Bing Zhixie's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought of the underground vault run by Death Mafia and the others.
The Ghost Man observed his words: "You seem to know?"
"I know a little bit. I just know that someone hid the minted blood gold coins in the mountain."
"It seems that someone has already taken action. Humph." The Ghost Man sneered: "There is another Lu Minghai."
