Spring City Mystery 6

After the events in Quancheng fermented on the Internet, even the bravest people would not dare to stay in the fog.

However, the fog in Quancheng disappeared, but the impact it brought continued to expand, so much so that the authorities quickly sent an advance team over. Yan Ke was awakened by the buzzing sound of a helicopter early in the morning because he did not close the window. When he opened his eyes, the soreness all over his body made him frown. But after seeing the cute calico cat, Yan Ke became full of energy and turned on his mobile phone to check the messages.

Sure enough, I saw those news headlines about the several tragic endings for ordinary people who entered the fog: turning into monsters, being killed by monsters, or dying directly.

In short, there is no escape from death.

There is also a headline about players: Players are the chosen ones...

Before Yan Ke finished reading, Nan Yu woke up, shook his cat ears, crawled out of Yan Ke's arms, jumped onto the bed next to him, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a human, stretched his waist and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Have you rested?"

Nan Yu yawned and said, "Not bad, but it's too noisy outside."

"The incident in Quancheng was accidentally captured on camera, and now people all over the country probably know about it, so the authorities sent people over. That sound was the sound of a helicopter."

"So what do we do?"

Nanyu asked.

"Don't do anything. They may be here to investigate. It has nothing to do with us."

Nanyu said with some disappointment.

"Nanyu, you don't want to take a helicopter, do you?"

Nanyu replied: "I didn't, I was just curious."

Yan Ke walked to the window, opened the curtains, and bright sunshine poured in through the window. A new day began, but Quancheng was not as desolate and lonely as yesterday. The sound of helicopters continued to come from the sky. It seemed that the affairs of Quancheng had been taken seriously, so much so that so many people went into Quancheng to investigate so quickly. It seemed that they would not stay in Quancheng for long.

Nanyu stood up and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"The weather is nice today. If you are tired, you can take a rest here. As for other things, don't think too much about them for now."

Nan Yu smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it that much. But you, you fell like that in the dungeon, your back is bruised, you should take a rest. I'm fine."

"Okay, but in Quancheng, we can only eat these fast foods to fill our stomachs. Once we have rested and found transportation, we will leave Quancheng."

"Then where are we going next?" Nan Yu asked casually.

"Go into the city and meet some people."

In the future, the key fog will spread too quickly, and it is not certain whether the true appearance of this world can be seen. Yan Ke can't help but recall the peaceful world in the past. If there were no weird games and fog in the key, would his growth stage be filled with youth?

But Yan Ke knew that his life had been completely changed since he entered the strange game more than ten years ago. Death and madness filled his life. He had seen the darkness of human nature, but he still chose to believe in the beauty of human nature.

But this time, Yan Ke discovered that he was too idealistic, and the whole world was dragged into an unknown abyss by the fog and weird games.

Nan Yu said that the real world is an energy desert, but the items in the backpack of the weird game can travel between the two worlds. In addition, the incident in Quancheng where humans mutated into tentacle monsters, one thing after another seemed to be unrelated, but the information between them was similar.

Everything that happened was related to the weird game.

"Why don't we go out and take a look." Nan Yu said, "With so many people here, they must have something to investigate. I'm just too curious."

"Curiosity kills the cat, didn't you know that?"

"Yan Ke, don't you want to know?" Yan Ke thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, there's nothing to do right now, we can go out and take a look and take a walk."

Nan Yu smiled and said, "Okay, you want to go, I'm not forcing you to go."

The two packed up and Yan Ke took all his things and left the hotel. The two planned to secretly follow those people to see what they were looking for, and then find a hotel somewhere else. They were afraid that they would go too far and have to go back, so Yan Ke carried his backpack.

This time, the two found a shared electric bike near the hotel. After riding it, they drove slowly. The area of ​​Quancheng is not small, and the two did not know where the helicopters were flying to.

Yan Ke felt that if they investigated, they would not focus on one place, and it would be more effective if they acted separately.

But the two of them were riding a small electric bike, wandering around the street, not attracting any attention at all.

“It’s so desolate!!”

Nan Yu sighed: "The people in this world are too fragile, and the power in the fog is indeed not an energy that can be directly absorbed."

"Then how did they become monsters?"

Nan Yu replied, "I'm not sure about this either. The world you live in is like a desert, let alone this kind of evil power. There is not even a single energy fluctuation. It's very strange. What's even stranger is that the power of faith in this world is very strong, but the gods you worship don't have any energy fluctuations. Such a huge power of faith is wasted because most of those statues of gods are not even made of stone."

Yan Ke understood the concept of energy desert that Nan Yu mentioned, because the survival of those tentacles depends on the energy of the fog. After the fog fades, the energy gradually dissipates, and those humans who turned into tentacle monsters die together with the monsters.

"Oh, then I have roughly guessed what those official personnel want to investigate. It's about the fog and the tentacle monsters, and there is some information that I really don't know." Yan Ke analyzed.

It was indeed a bit difficult to carry two people who were almost 1.9 meters tall on the electric car, but Yan Ke's operation was smooth and even though it was a small electric car, Nan Yu did not feel any bumps. It was just that his two long legs were a little restrained.

At this moment, Yan Ke saw the shadow of a helicopter, which seemed to be parked on the roof of the building in front.

Yan Ke was walking on a motor vehicle lane and increased the speed of the tram to its limit, but he still slowly passed a poplar tree.

So Yan Ke gave up the idea of ​​speeding and drove forward slowly.

When we arrived at the destination, we found that it looked like a shopping mall that had ceased operations. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a shopping mall, but because there was no electricity, the mall looked gray during the day.

When we got here, we saw that the electric cars that Yan Ke had to walk a long way to find before were now neatly lined up in several rows at the entrance of this shopping mall.

He said to Nan Yu, "We're here. There's a helicopter."

"Go and see what they are investigating."

Nanyu walked happily ahead, but turned back halfway: "The door is locked, we can't get in."

"Malls usually have underground garages, so we go there."

Yan Ke opened the map and began searching. Soon he saw that the side door of the mall seemed to be open.

"Is it open? Let's go and check it out."

Yan Ke walked in and found that the door was really open, as if someone had opened it violently, and there was blood on the door handle.

The two walked into the mall, and an eerie chill hit them in the face. Yan Ke looked and saw that the elevator was not open, so he had to take the stairs. Fortunately, the mall was not high, only four or five floors.

The corridor seemed very depressing and cramped because there was no light. Yan Ke took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, which made him feel much better. However, he found that there was a sticky liquid on the handrail of the stairs, and he accidentally got it on his hands.

Nanyu took out a tissue to wipe Yan Ke's hands: "How disgusting, who smeared blood on the handle." Nanyu could see any object without any obstruction in the dark space. He could clearly see that there were still pieces of blood residue on the side of the stairs and on the steps of the stairs, and some of them were even moist and not completely dried.

But there wasn't much smell of blood in the air, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

He looked at Yan Ke. Human eyes were really weak. He took Yan Ke's hand with pity and said, "Be careful. It's all bloody. It's disgusting if you step on it."

Yan Ke smiled and replied: "Okay."

After seeing this, Nan Yu's heart inexplicably felt a little noisy, but he felt that Yan Ke was becoming more and more cunning. He was controlling his actions without making any expression, as if he had predicted it. Never mind, as the poor human being he was protecting, there would be no harm in giving in to him a little.

Nan Yu dragged Yan Ke to the top floor, only to find that the helicopter was parked on the rooftop, and they still needed to find stairs or passage to go up.

This place was not difficult to find, because the passage was completely open, and the sunlight shone through the open passage, casting a bit of dazzling light. Before I knew it, it was already noon.

The two looked around and heard the sound of fighting.

"Chen Jing, you traitor, do you want to kill people to silence them?" It was a male voice that spoke. Yan Ke felt that the man's voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Chen Guangbai, survival of the fittest, you know? I'm not the same person I was before. I want to become stronger, and I'm right."

Yan Ke and the other person below looked at each other.

Nanyu asked silently: "Are you still going up?"

Yan Ke nodded.

"Wait a moment and see what happens. Let's hide first."

At this time, the two heard: "Chen Jing, the person you let go is a cultist."

"Chen Guangbai, cousin, let's share it together." Chen Jing was the only surviving player in the Rabbit Cage besides An Qing and Yan Ke. Yan Ke had never met him and didn't know his identity.

However, because Chen Jing received a generous reward after clearing that copy, he survived the next copy.

Nanyu couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he took off his ring, turned into a calico cat, and jumped directly onto the roof. After a while, Nanyu pointed his cute cat head to signal Yan Ke to come up, as they were on the other side.

Yan Ke walked up carefully, and after a few steps, he saw several human corpses lying in a pool of blood. He had actually seen one of them before, in S City. He had just picked up a calico cat from the rain and brought it home. He had seen this girl when he went to the pet shop to buy something.
