The omnipresent gods worship 3
The City of Springs is a city with a long history. It is famous for the countless clear springs flowing here. Among them, there are several special springs that gush out clear spring water from the ground all year round. Many local people will bring bottles to fetch water here.
One of the world-famous springs is located right in the temple. In the past, tourists flocked here in an endless stream just to see the charm and peculiarity of the spring. In addition, the temple is built here, and the gurgling spring water can be seen converging into streams in the winding corridors, and countless fish are playing in the clear stream.
The history of the temple is even longer, it is older than this city and even older than this spring.
As time goes by, the area of the temples is dozens or even hundreds of times larger than that of the temples at the beginning of history.
However, the monks here have forgotten that what was originally worshipped here was not Buddha, Guanyin, nor Arhat or Buddha, but a little-known human monk who was buried by history.
The temple now enshrines statues of Buddha and Guanyin. According to the local people in Quancheng, this temple is very effective, especially in terms of marriage and peace.
So much so that after the fog invaded, many people came here to ask for a talisman.
This was something Yan Ke could not understand. The dangers of the fog had been proven repeatedly in the past few months, yet many people still took great risks for the sake of their beliefs and came to the temple to seek a talisman that was rumored to be very effective.
The calico cat Nanyu had fallen into a deep sleep at this time. The cute calico cat curled up with its entire body on the soft pillow.
Today's society is still operating stably, and as foreign countries are shrouded in fog, the monetary system has become more stable.
Soldiers have become the guarantee for the evacuation of various cities. In Yan Ke's opinion, although there is still a small number of people who still do not cooperate with the soldiers' evacuation work, most people still understand it, and many people living in safe cities have even extended a helping hand, in order to work together to get through this crisis faster.
Yan Ke and Nan Yu only had some fast food today. Most of the restaurants on the street were closed. Even if there were a few that were still open, they were not accepting customers.
This was a big blow to Yan Ke and Nan Yu.
Food occupies a large part of the beauty of real life, but now the invasion of fog has led to the closure of food stores in Quancheng.
It's simply a human tragedy.
Fortunately, there were hotels open, otherwise even if he had money, he would have to stay in the car.
Yan Ke was scrolling through his phone, and there were more and more videos about worshipping gods. The reason was that someone discovered that amulets could help them resist being swallowed by the fog.
It is not known whether the video is true or not, but the information has indeed not been blocked by the authorities.
Driven by curiosity, Yan Ke clicked on the video.
The location of the video shows that after the fog spread, people were driving away and it looked like chaos. The protagonist is a small internet celebrity named Adventure King Hammer who has millions of fans on this short video APP.
"Oh my god, is that the fog that was posted online? I was on the highway just now. The reason was that the fog on the edge of the city where I was staying before began to spread. The soldier directly notified the evacuation through the radio, and I responded quickly. Family members, have you seen the fog?"
The video flew to the back, and the voice of the person who filmed the video was still saying: "The fog is still far away from us. It is on the edge of the city over there. The fog cannot be seen here."
The video flashed: "Come here, old iron gate, I drove to the fog, but there are many soldiers stationed here. I saw the fog. Why can I distinguish the words in the fog? You see, this fog is really white, like an opaque barrier." The video observed the fog from bottom to top.
At this time, a voice came from the video: "The one over there, leave here quickly, it's not safe here."
Internet celebrity adventurer Hammer quickly got in the car and started it: "Family, let's retreat. This fog is really evil."
The next second, the assistant of Adventure King Hammer was driving, and he was sitting in the passenger seat with a pale face of fear: "Family, the fog suddenly spread, unfortunately we are stuck on the road." The video shows that the white fog behind is slowly advancing, and many people have begun to abandon their cars and flee.
"What should we do? We are in the car now." At this time, the rearview mirror saw countless thick tentacles sticking out from the fog. Those people were directly dragged into the fog by the tentacles, and there were screams outside.
The two were so scared that they dropped their filming equipment on the ground: "Oh my God, what is that? Is this the end of the world?"
At this time, the assistant's voice came: "It's all your fault. You had to come here. What should I do now?"
"Cover your heads and don't make any noise." The two men turned off the car, closed the windows, adjusted the seats, lay down directly, and covered their heads.
The assistant's sobbing could be heard.
The voice of the Adventure King Hammer also trembled: "It's over, it's really over."
I don't know how long it took, but when the two of them got up, there was silence all around them, and something in the backpack in the car was glowing.
The video changes and the two of them leave the city.
Adventure King Hammer said: "We survived, thanks to the assistant's amulet."
The video then turns to show the two of them leaving the foggy city in a helicopter.
There really was an invisible barrier around the helicopter that pushed the fog back a few square meters.
The last video shows the amulet, and it really seems to be glowing slightly.
After watching the video, Yan Ke found that many people left comments in the comment section saying, "When I first saw the video, I thought it was fake, but my family is from the Northeast, and the guardian deity we worship is the most righteous one. We have a special amulet at home. When the fog came, it was the amulet that saved the people in our unit. The fog here dissipated inexplicably after a few days, and the outside world is simply hell on earth."
The number of likes that followed was over 100,000.
People accepted the existence of fog and believed it was a disaster. In order to survive, people in many cities left before the fog came. On the contrary, some people began to believe in God, and they were even more reluctant to leave their hometowns, even if their hometowns were shrouded in fog.
After that, in Yan Ke's view, those who did not leave their hometown shrouded in fog were all dead. If they were alive, they would become players, find clues in the dungeon and wait until the time came to get out, or clear the dungeon to get out.
Yan Ke didn't know that the authorities didn't fail to manage such videos, but they couldn't help it because the workload was too heavy. The crisis the country is facing now is a time when talents from all walks of life are needed. It is said that a blessing in disguise, as the real estate bubble and youth employment problems were solved during this crisis.
But wherever the fog goes, there is chaos, tragedy continues to occur, and more and more people go missing.
More cities are swallowed by the fog. Now only those cities marked green or yellow can be considered safe. Over the past half month, the migration of people has never stopped.
Yan Ke was flipping through videos out of boredom when she saw a video of someone claiming to be a weird game player.
He didn't know this person, and Yan Ke didn't know that this person was Chen Jing who came out of the previous copy, Rabbit in the Cage, with him.
Yan Ke took a look at his video and thought it was not very useful, so she just swiped past it. However, Chen Jing's fans were increasing at an alarming rate.
In the live broadcast, Chen Jing told a story about a mountain god who required a blood sacrifice. He used the sacrifice to get out of the dungeon.
The comment section exploded.
[I heard that those who come out of the weird game will be rewarded, that is the existence of the Chosen One. 】
[The survival rate of those who enter the strange game is as low as that of those who are swallowed by the fog. According to official statistics, there are only a few hundred chosen ones.]
[Then the living boss said that the weird game involves weird stories, which are very scary. Some players committed suicide before they were killed by the weirdness. ]
…
Yan Ke didn't pay much attention to it and just swiped past it. What he didn't know was that Chen Jing would soon become the focus of official attention.
As time passed, it was late at night. Yan Ke put down his phone and covered the calico cat Nanyu with a blanket. Both the man and the cat soon fell asleep.
In City B, many cities swallowed by the fog were deserted, but it was also discovered that the fog disappeared soon after some cities were swallowed by the fog. After soldiers entered and observed for about a week, more than a dozen cities were determined to be safe and were marked in green.
Moreover, these dozen cities are far away from other fogs. According to official records of the fastest expansion speed of fog, the fog will continue to spread for about a week before reaching these dozen cities.
This will greatly reduce the population carrying capacity of other cities.
The official immediately updated the map and issued a notice that these dozen cities, including Yan Ke’s hometown, will soon regain vitality.
Yan Ke’s elder brother and Hua Zi both left him messages.
But Yan Ke didn't see it because he was resting at that time.
The fog in the Spring City did not spread at this time. It stood in the city like a white barrier. The Spring City also fell into darkness, with only a few lights on.
At this time, people's understanding of the fog was less than one percent, and even the official information was very limited. On the other hand, they knew more about the weird game, but they all learned it from the surviving players.
However, the official top brass also know that they have no idea how many people have entered the strange game, and the information in the copy is also fragmentary. However, they know that part of the fog will disappear after passing the level.
The disappearing fog became a life-saving straw, therefore, the official attached great importance to the surviving weird game players. These people were the hope for survival. Since they were able to come out alive, they must have received the rewards from the weird game, and among those rewards, whether it was books or weapons and props, they were all extremely precious.
The country paid a high price to obtain the right to copy books, and the right to research and use some props from some players.
For players, these are the key to their survival in the following dungeons.
Therefore, Li Heng's existence is extremely special. He passed two levels, and he completed them all, which makes him one of the very few players.
