Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
Sitting in the hovercar, the scenery around me didn't change as quickly as it would in a taxi, but I had a different feeling.
It feels like the outside isn't moving much, but while sitting in the car, you can feel a significant change in speed.
The view outside the window is changing more slowly. It's no longer the orderly scene of the shallows, but rather a vast ocean with some soft mud on the seabed with low saturation.
For a moment, I felt like I was back in the deep sea, a place that left me with so many traumas.
I guess we followed the direction indicated by the blue armor, and with the wristbands having so much strength at the time, we walked too far in this direction.
Not only is the distance long, but the speed is also too fast.
The girl leaned against the car window, her brows slightly furrowed, watching the changing scenery around her, as if she had a lot of complicated feelings.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Looking at the girl next to me, I couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, this place feels familiar to me."
Indeed, we had been here before, but after spending almost half a day here, the external scenery has probably changed somewhat.
But it's perfectly normal to feel a sense of familiarity.
I don't know what the girl was so frightened about. Shouldn't this be the most normal thing to do?
I looked around. Although there was a window separating us, there was a small button on the window.
It's similar to the accelerator button in front of this boss, but smaller and redder.
I just pressed it slightly, and the window next to me swung down all at once.
For a moment, I also caught a faint fishy smell; it was the smell of the sea.
There was absolutely nothing unusual about it.
Not only that, I also looked back through the window, and I was really worried that the fake corpse hiding there might follow us.
After all, he was able to leave the flowers in the car, so I was afraid he might just climb into the car.
Yiyi is indeed completely different from me. After smelling the fishy smell in the seawater, she immediately showed a rather unbearable expression.
"Brother, I feel like there's a similar smell to that thick fog we had before!"
ah?
When I heard her say that, I was stunned.
How can it smell like fog?
I sniffed again, turned my face towards the outside and took a careful sniff, but apart from the faint smell of seawater, I still couldn't smell anything else special.
"No, it's impossible that Old Man He chased us all the way to the shallow area."
I was talking to her.
She just stood there with her eyebrows slightly raised, unsure of what to say.
He had a very troubled expression, as if he had made a mistake in his judgment.
However, I couldn't taste the flavor she described at all, otherwise I wouldn't have gone out of my way to lie to her.
Or perhaps only she possesses a unique sense that allows her to detect the distinctive fishy smell of the thing he mentioned.
Or there's another possibility: I think the girl stayed at Mr. He's hotel for too long, which is why she still has a lingering smell from there in her nose.
The scenery around him is changing so fast that he has rediscovered that feeling from before.
Although we were talking from behind, the bearded boss in front was diligently driving the whole time.
The speed did not decrease at all.
He seemed completely uninterested in what we were saying.
Seeing his reaction, I was also taken aback.
This guy seems to be very cunning!
The previous Liu Guopeng would always interrupt whenever we said something, or he would just listen quietly. But this driver, I didn't feel that he was affected by the two of us at all.
He was just driving quietly there.
The hovercar continued driving. Visibility outside wasn't high, but it was mostly due to the hazy effect of the seawater, not white fog, and certainly not the sweet, fishy smell the girl had mentioned.
I blinked twice, then pressed the green button next to the red one again, and rolled up the car window.
Out of sight, out of mind; if the window isn't opened, the girl probably won't feel this discomfort.
"Master, I can also smell a fishy odor, and it's a much stronger fishy smell than usual!"
Lei Jijian spoke silently, his tone filled with astonishment, and I could clearly see his body trembling slightly as he spoke.
How come I can sense the lightning strike sword too?
Could it be that my senses have deteriorated somewhat?
However, if there were any abnormalities, the bearded driver in front should have noticed them immediately and stopped to tell us.
I reassured myself that as long as the driver didn't say anything, we were absolutely safe.
If that fake corpse had actually followed us, I think the bearded driver would have noticed it immediately.
When I looked back just now, I didn't see anything unusual at all.
The windshield in front was large enough for the driver to see everything. Although the driver had a stubble beard, his eyes were sharp and much clearer than Lao Liu's.
"What is that?!"
At that moment, the girl suddenly pointed out the window and shouted.
The voice was trembling slightly, just like the one from the lightning sword earlier.
I looked in the direction she was pointing.
At this point, the shallow layer was no longer shallow; it had slowly moved towards the boundary between the shallow and deep layers. The surrounding scenery was no longer the tall buildings from before; instead, there were more seaweed and some inexplicable, unnamed paths, making it look quite desolate.
If I didn't know better, I would even think that the place in front of me is the same road I saw before, the one I took back from the riverside hotel.
Although that place was in the suburbs, there were still some low-rise buildings in the middle.
Looking at it this way, there are quite a few suburbs near the city center, which means that this place is actually quite suitable for the riverside hotel area, they are not much different.
It's just that they've labeled it as the city center.
Furthermore, by moving all those buildings here, it naturally appears to resemble a central city. In reality, well, it's just self-deception.
At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a little irritated and wanted to laugh at these managers.
Among the common people below, Zhou Pang, Boss He, Liu Guopeng, and this bearded man, who would even look at them?
