Chapter 30
The hatred of the four-legged beasts was completely held back by the few psychics, and at this moment, the ordinary people who were still unconscious all over the town became the safest people.
"Run! Go to the central square not far away!"
"Let's go! To the central square! They will be safer after we leave!"
Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming's voices sounded at the same time. The two looked at each other, and at the critical moment they couldn't even hide the smile of having found a confidant.
Not only Zheng Qiuji, Chu Zhongyuan was also obviously aware of the current situation. At the same time, he and Gu Qingming even thought of more possibilities, so they spoke up and called everyone to run towards the central ancient town.
"I see."
Luo Dong nodded, pulled Ayi and Zheng Qiuji, who were still confused, and ran forward first.
Their special abilities cannot be used in close combat, so staying behind would only cause trouble.
Gu Qingming suddenly used the blade of the bronze spear to force the opponent back. He stretched out his hand forward without hesitation. A fluorescent tide surged up. Chu Zhongyuan teleported to his side without any error and held his hand.
The next second, the two had moved to a position that was far away from the black-robed man and the quadruped beast, but they could catch up with them at any time.
"Come on! You cowardly dead thing."
Chu Zhongyuan smiled wantonly, as if he had no fear. He waved his hand disdainfully in front of his neck, making a provocative gesture towards the terrifying number of quadrupeds and the black-robed monster that stood silently and could control the quadrupeds.
Not to mention the man in black robe, Gu Qingming felt that Chu Zhongyuan's actions deserved a beating.
As expected, the man in black robe rushed towards them without any hesitation, at a terrifying speed.
Gu Qingming used the long green wind behind him and ran forward with Chu Zhongyuan, avoiding the strange pursuit of the black-robed monster.
"Be careful, don't get yourself into trouble..."
Gu Qingming felt like she had really become an old housewife.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ming, we have you here. Oh my! This guy is so petty and holds a grudge."
Chu Zhongyuan was also startled, but he believed very much in Gu Qingming beside him. Just as he could catch Gu Qingming accurately, Gu Qingming would also be able to save him accurately before the monster attacked.
His expression changed instantly after he turned his head, and he stuck out his tongue at the monster chasing him.
Chu Zhongyuan also noticed that no four-legged beast stayed behind him, coveting the ordinary classmates who had fainted. All the monsters were chasing after them at the moment. It was hard to tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But at least they attracted most of the four-legged beasts. The more four-legged beasts chasing after them, the safer the ordinary people who had lost consciousness in the buildings of the ancient town would be.
Gu Qingming ran forward following the footsteps of Luo Dong and the others while looking up around. The torn buildings were still standing silently in the same place. In the night fog, any hideous buildings were no longer scary. Instead, they looked familiar and cute against the backdrop of the four-legged beasts and the black-robed man behind them.
"Let's go! Towards the center of the ancient town!"
Chu Zhongyuan tilted his head and turned his head back to look at the road ahead. He was holding his sliced bread and trying to smile casually, but he still couldn't hide a certain bitter emotion.
After all, this was their first time dealing with a mysterious incident, and they felt somewhat overwhelmed and worried.
What if I screw up?
I’m afraid Boss Cao will add a lot of math homework... Chu Zhongyuan thought to himself while trying to make the best of a bad situation.
The current location of the five people is very close to the center of this ancient town. After all, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan have moved a long way from their original location to here to meet up with Zheng Qiuji and the other two.
The distribution of the four-legged beasts seemed to spread outward from the entire town. The closer they got to the center, the more Gu Qingming and the other two could hear, apart from the noisy roars of the monsters behind them and the only dark sound of the wind.
In the tourists' rumors recorded in Gu Nanfeng's notes, the predicament the tourists fell into was exactly the same as theirs, so there was no doubt that it was the same secret realm.
But there is no mention of any quadrupedal animals.
The mysterious rule summarized by CPA: There can only be one master of the secret realm. According to Koizumi's diary, the master of the secret realm should be the one called "Big Cat" by the little girl. Although the name is very abstract with the naivety of the little girl, this name has nothing to do with the ability to make puppets.
Since the owner of the secret realm is not a puppet, Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming realized a possibility.
Puppet products such as the four-legged beast and the black-robed man should all be foreign mysteries.
Since puppets exist, there must be a puppeteer behind the scenes who controls everything.
The puppet images made by this puppeteer, those four-legged animals, are somewhat similar to the image of the owner of the secret realm under the ancient well in Koizumi's diary, which makes people feel that he wants to replace it.
There is no doubt that the puppeteer and the master of the secret realm are irreconcilable. After all, the master of the secret realm will not allow these puppets to go so crazy in his secret realm, and the cheongsam girl's fear of acting at will before also confirms this point.
It seems that the cheongsam girl is weaker than they thought, and her appearance is just intimidating... The foreign puppeteer and the owner of the secret realm dare not offend either of them. They can only huddle in a ruin, coveting a little bit of God-given opportunity.
Gu Qingming's inappropriate thoughts began to run wild again.
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that... that cheongsam girl is a little pitiful? It doesn't look like she has devoured many greedy souls as she said.
If they make good use of the antagonistic relationship between the two mysterious beings, the puppeteer and the master of the secret realm, and take into account the generally irritable and conflict-prone personalities of mysterious beings, they may not have to pay much and can reap the benefits.
Gu Qingming thought.
Chu Zhongyuan had the same idea as him, and the other three people quickly understood that after all, this was the best way to solve the urgent situation of being besieged.
Several people ran forward frantically, almost using the speed they had used in the 800-meter and 1,000-meter physical education entrance exams.
Young Master Luo Dong, who has always had poor physical fitness, also gritted his teeth and made sure not to fall behind.
After turning a gravel street and running across a heavy stone arch bridge standing over the gurgling Shu River, Zheng Qiuji, who was running in the front, suddenly slowed down.
Gu Qingming hurriedly looked forward, and saw that in just a few minutes, along the road covered with broken stones, a wide area in front was already in sight.
A heavy black stone stood there quietly. The shape of the stone was irregular, but Gu Qingming could see an arrogant beast standing against the wind from the texture of the rock.
It has four legs, long feathers, and is beautiful and majestic.
Zheng Qiuji rushed to the town stone. Next to the town stone stood a marble tablet, which explained that the purpose of setting up this town stone was to change the feng shui pattern of the entire town to ensure that the town would be prosperous from then on.
But Zheng Qiuji soon noticed the traces of formations left on the stone, which was clearly the formation that CPA once used to seal the mystery.
When faced with mysterious entities, CPA does not only have two options: annihilation or cooperation. There is also a way of dealing with mysterious entities that is somewhere in between, called containment.
Containment, also known as sealing, as the name suggests, is to seal the mysterious beings in a fixed location in various ways, so as to restrict the freedom of the mysterious beings and prevent them from causing chaos and endangering the survival of ordinary people.
The Stone Suppression Formation is one of the common methods used by CPA to seal and contain mysteries.
According to Koizumi's diary, the owner of the secret realm should be a mysterious being who has long been sealed and contained by CPA and confined under the ancient well. Later, CPA added a stone-suppressing formation to ensure the stability of the seal.
But this is, after all, just a secret realm dominated by a mysterious being, not the real world. The guardian stone that can lock it tightly in the real world will definitely not be able to trap the owner of the secret realm.
After Zheng Qiuji threw a few enhancing words to Gu Qingming and the others who were confronting the black-robed man and the four-legged beasts, he began to walk around the guardian stone, trying to find some clues that could "summon" the owner of the secret realm, but he was almost tripped by a book behind the guardian stone.
"Strange...why are there books here..."
Zheng Qiuji picked up the book from the ground and was surprised to find that it was a No. 53.
"I'm really crazy."
Zheng Qiuji murmured, "Sure enough, everything around here is just my dream. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the situation in front of me."
No matter how illogical the secret realm is, it cannot be so illogical.
“KANG!”
The sound of metal clashing was heard. Gu Qingming was still fighting with the man in black robe. He took a few steps back due to the force of the man in black robe. When he turned around, he saw the familiar "Wu San" in Zheng Qiuji's hand. "Qin Zhen" was holding it in his hand all the time. He was stunned for a moment.
But soon, he understood many of the previous details and doubts.
For example, why did the cheongsam girl flee in fear at the moment the transaction was completed?
At that time, he and Chu Zhongyuan were both looking back. There was nothing behind them but the quiet night.
They and "Qin Zhen" complained about the cheongsam girl's strange behavior at the time and felt deeply sympathetic about it, but Gu Qingming noticed that he did not realize it.
What was behind them at that time was clearly not nothing.
And there is Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen was standing at the back, and when they turned around to look back, he immediately made the same move. Therefore, in their blind spot of thinking, they did not realize that Qin Zhen was actually the most serious problem, the most terrifying existence - the master of this secret realm.
The cheongsam girl probably recognized Qin Zhen's identity and ran away in a panic without even caring about her dignity.
"Qin Zhen... no... the master of the secret realm..."
Gu Qingming finally connected together two existences that could not be matched no matter what. He struggled to block the attack of the man in black robe, his mind in a mess.
Upon seeing this, Ayi quickly kicked away the four-legged beast that was entangled in front of him, separated a few strands of light purple five-poison silk, grabbed the arm of the black-robed monster, trying to slow down his behavior and buy time for Gu Qingming to respond.
“Crack—”
Beneath the suppressing stone, the faint sound of a mechanism operating suddenly rang out during the battle. Although it was not sharp, the psychics, whose five senses were beyond those of ordinary people, could hear it clearly.
"What is going on here?"
Luo Dong fired angrily at a four-legged beast. The puppet had no sense of pain and could not effectively block it. Luo Dong could only use the recoil to delay the opponent's attack.
Day 6 completed!
