Chapter 971 Chapter 13: Keeping pace with the times
[Two Immortals! Please take this path!]
The stone head shook gently behind Li Muhan, guiding the two of them in the direction of thought.
"Are you fooling me again?" Li Muhan said dissatisfiedly.
[Alas! Don't worry, Immortal! Just go ahead and draw the spell on the wall as I instructed. The way forward will become clear!]
Li Muhan was half-believing and half-doubting, and he warned the stone lion.
"If you set me up again, I'll make you squash the pickle jar. Do you understand?"
[I understand! I understand! No matter how brave I am, I wouldn't dare to deceive the messenger sent by the Great God of Zhongshan! Alas, Immortal, what is your relationship with the Great God of Zhongshan?]
What is the relationship between me and Zhulong?
That's a good question.
In fact, Li Muhan and Zhulong had only met and spoken once.
But he can also be considered a...collaborator?
If I tell this person that I still have the power of Xing Tian, I'm afraid this stone head will be frightened to pieces on the spot.
According to the guidance of the big head.
Li Muhan walked to the end of the road and raised his hand to gesture above it.
"No reaction, are you really fooling me?"
[Exalted Immortal, allow me to ask a question... Do you not know the art of Iron Painting and Silver Hook?]
“......?”
[This, this... is to use your immortal power to leave a mark on the wall, just like some Taoists draw talismans. You can't just gesture in vain.]
"Let me do it." Xia Yue walked around Li Muhan and went to the wall.
She raised her slender arms and gently pressed her white, jade-like fingers against the wall.
Then a trail of blood slowly dripped down Xia Yue's fingers. Following the blood, Xia Yue carved out the runes that the stone lion required.
"Is this okay?" Xia Yue asked.
Li Muhan quickly said: "People are talking about immortal power, immortal power, your thing can only be used to attract ghosts."
[Alas! Alas! This is a great magical power! The blood-painted talisman! This is the supreme magical power! So you are also an immortal! My apologies!]
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan provocatively, touched his lips lightly with her fingers, and smeared the blood on the edge of Li Muhan's lips.
"Hmm, attracting ghosts? Little brother, if you don't have the ability, just follow me and learn. I haven't lived all my life eating apples under bridges."
"Ahem..." Li Muhan scratched his head awkwardly. "Okay, okay, you're awesome. I'm a ghost, and you summoned me."
As the two of them were joking, the blood symbol on the wall began to emit a strange red light.
Then the blood talisman seemed to come alive and began to split and combine automatically.
Finally, it formed the shape of a door.
Li Muhan opened his mouth slightly, finding it hard to believe what he saw.
Until that extremely familiar voice sounded in my ears.
[The elevator has reached the first floor]
The corners of Li Muhan's mouth twitched.
"No! Big Brother!? Why is there an elevator here?!"
[Sir, this is keeping up with the times. Do we have to make leaders climb stairs every time they come to inspect?]
Li Muhan couldn't refute this statement.
Ding Dong——
The elevator door slowly opened, and Li Muhan and Xia Yue looked at each other.
Then he walked into the elevator.
"...Yuehuanglou Hot Pot City opened in 2015, created by the original catering team of the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau. Enjoy this delicious food this winter."
"...Do you want to stay in shape? Even if you're an outlier, you can't stop exercising. The Yuehuang City Outlier Fitness Center is actively recruiting members."
"...Caring for women of color starts with each of us. Women of color refuse to be persecuted. The charity competition officially begins today."
"Please stop hunting the broad-eared demons. Their ears can't give you the ability to hear the wind. Please care for endangered species."
"Advertising space for rent."
Li Muhan was dumbfounded when he saw the advertisements in the elevator from a few years ago.
[Ah, Immortal, the hot pot restaurant there is really delicious. The pig's tongue and pig's throat are absolutely amazing! Now that the matter is settled, would you like me to take you there to taste it?]
"No, no...you guys..."
Li Muhan suddenly felt that Tianhai City was a really good place. At least there was no practice of hunting alien creatures for food.
Of course, he also knew that there was a tradition of using exotic animals as delicacies in all parts of China.
Relative.
Some aliens also hunt humans.
It can be said that even after the end, the relationship between humans and aliens is very good on the surface, but some low-level aliens and humans are still suffering endless persecution.
"...Director Chang said that the latest document instructs that all shops using alien creatures as ingredients must be closed. This resolution should be passed at the December Party Committee meeting. At that time, the Party branch of the Special Management Bureau will also take corresponding measures to restrict or even punish such behavior. You should avoid going to these places."
After Chang Yue came to power, he did make many decisions that benefited both sides.
But he only knew it when he was in a high position.
For some things, the policy is one thing, and the implementation is another.
It is really hard to say whether your voice can reach the grassroots level.
Ding Dong——
[Second floor, we're here, the elevator door is opening]
"No! Can't we just go up to the top floor?!"
Li Muhan said as he looked at the slowly opening elevator door.
[Shangxian, this second floor is the office area of the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau stationed in the Nine-Layered Pagoda. If you want to reach the upper floors, you can only find their ID cards here. After verifying their information, you can reach the upper floors.]
When the elevator door fully opened, what he saw was not the expected office, but the interior of a tower filled with a strange atmosphere.
The interior decoration of the second floor of the tower is simple and old. The murals hanging on the walls have faded, and the expressions of the characters in the paintings are distorted, as if silently telling some unknown fear.
The floor was covered with a worn carpet, covered with strange stains that suggested blood and ancient rituals.
Desks and office equipment were randomly placed in various corners of the room. Each desk was piled with documents and miscellaneous items, but the most eye-catching were the computers.
All the computer screens flickered, emitting an unsettling blue light, as if they were constantly rebooting and never returning to normal working order.
The cursors on the computer screens kept jumping around, as if an invisible hand was controlling them.
Occasionally, some blurry images would flash on the screen, like some ancient symbols or distorted human faces, but whenever Li Muhan tried to see clearly, the image would disappear, replaced by more flickering and noise.
"Have all these staff members been arrested?"
Li Muhan walked to a computer and asked.
[Alas, the change came too suddenly. When the seed landed on the top of the tower, the terrifying force began to make the prisoners in the tower extremely violent, and their strength increased significantly.]
[Additionally, the sudden appearance of people from Heaven left the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau staff with virtually no power to fight back. They were all taken away, including those who refused to surrender...]
The stone lion looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and then sighed.
