"As long as the source of interference disappears, they can return to normal." Luo Wen explained.
"It's just that they'll lose some memory." Luo Wen paused, then followed Su Luoyin's gaze. "Disturbed by this power, they're just subconsciously doing their daily routines, like sleepwalking. It's not dangerous, so don't worry about it."
"Yeah." Su Luoyin nodded. Since they were just a few weak mortals, it was no big deal. She turned to Luo Wen and said, "Then there's no time to lose. Let's go into the city now."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the city together. The stone walls were full of traces of history. Although there were many pedestrians, only Luo Wen and Su Luoyin made any real sound. Even the two words "Biancheng" engraved on the stone tablet had an extremely strange blood-red color.
Luo Wen and Su Luoyin walked together, both wearing purple clothes, as if they were one.
After carefully avoiding an old man who was walking unconsciously with a shoulder pole on his back, Su Luoyin immediately returned to Luo Wen's side and walked side by side with him. Luo Wen slightly shifted his gaze at Su Luoyin's actions, but did not say much.
Su Luoyin chuckled in response, but remained silent. His gaze subconsciously scanned his surroundings. Although Biancheng now held a strange aura, it was easy to see that it had once been a prosperous place. Compared to Yangzhou, Kyoto was even more prosperous.
As Luo Wen said, these people were unconsciously doing their usual things, their bodies were stiff, everyone had a confused look on their face, and their movements were jerky. Normally, if someone deliberately walked in front of her like this, Su Luoyin would definitely find it very ridiculous, but now in this Bian City full of doubts, Su Luoyin only felt horror, and... sadness.
"Has everyone in the city become like this now?" Su Luoyin walked while carefully dodging the stiff crowd coming towards him.
"Hmm." Luo Wen didn't even look, moving forward without hesitation. Unlike Su Luoyin, however, those people would naturally change direction when they were about to approach Luo Wen. Su Luoyin observed his movements, but still carefully avoided them. After all... they were just mortals. After all, no matter what spiritual power was at work, they would eventually be affected.
"Luo Wen, do you feel like there are fewer and fewer people?" Su Luoyin suddenly stopped and looked around warily. They had been walking in the city for a while. Normally, they would be approaching the city center by now, but the number of people was decreasing. At some point, a white mist had spread around them, gradually expanding. The area ahead was completely obscured by the fog, and it was impossible to make out anything.
"The center of the formation is in front of us." Luo Wen also stopped and looked forward.
"Yeah." Su Luoyin closed his eyes quietly and pressed his hands to his heart. Sure enough, the power became stronger, like an alluring apple in a fairy tale, tempting people to move forward, and finally, be swallowed by it.
"Yes, it's just in front." Su Luoyin sensed it silently, opened his eyes and said to Luo Wen.
"Yes." Luo Wen responded, "The center of the city is where this thing is causing trouble. Under its influence, the people in the city become often sick. It is also because mortals are more sensitive to this thing. Therefore, the area closest to this thing is deserted."
