Chapter 452: Meet Zhao Simo Again

After checking the boy’s condition with his spiritual consciousness and confirming that he was not lying, Liu Jianan softened his tone: “What’s your name?”

The little boy replied: “Lin Xi, everyone calls me Xiao Xi.”

“Xiao Xi,” Liu Jianan felt sorry for the boy’s hard work and gave him some food, “I can give you more, but you must answer all my questions, okay?”

Lin Xi stared at the bread in Liu Jianan’s hand, drooling, and nodded repeatedly: “Okay, okay, I will answer whatever you ask me truthfully, and I will never dare to deceive you.”

Liu Jianan asked: “Why is Shi Province so quiet, and there are almost no pedestrians?”

Lin Xi’s face turned pale, and he immediately whispered: “Because they are all asleep.”

Asleep?

Liu Jianan couldn't help but think of Shan Province, which is also known as the city of Jin.

At that time, Shan Province was completely lost and occupied by the Lingbao Secret Realm of the Savage Continent. Only a small number of people were able to enter the Lingbao Secret Realm, and the rest of the people all fell asleep in the mist.

Could it be that the same situation is happening in Shi Province?

"Xiaoxi, is there anyone else awake besides you?" Liu Jianan asked again.

Lin Xi nodded: "There are still many people, uncles and aunts in the community, they are all fine."

Liu Jianan: "Can you take us to see them?"

Lin Xi said in embarrassment: "They are all left-behind elderly people. No one comes to visit them on weekdays, and they don't like to see outsiders."

Liu Jianan and Duan Haiping looked at each other and both noticed something unusual.

Shi Province is indeed mostly populated by left-behind children and the elderly, because most of the young people have moved to Kyoto, leaving only children and the elderly.

But the problem is that the young people disappeared, and Liu Jianan and his team have been exploring Shi Province for so long, but they didn't see a single mutant.

It stands to reason that children and the elderly have weak fighting power and are the favorite prey of mutants.

Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. Liu Jianan let Lin Xi go back on the surface, but secretly used divine tracking on him, and followed the mark to find him at dawn.

"You can see that, this uncle and aunt that Lin Xi mentioned may not be that simple." Liu Jianan stroked his chin, and said to Duan Haiping while thinking, "I now have a not-so-good guess."

Duan Haiping asked in confusion: "What guess?"

"Maybe we have entered the Lingbao Secret Realm without knowing it, but we just haven't noticed it." Liu Jianan felt the chalice element in the air, "It is said that some Lingbao Secret Realms will adjust the concentration of chalice elements in the secret realm to deceive the supernatural people who break into it."

Duan Haiping comforted him: "Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's follow that boy, and we will definitely find more clues."

This coincided with Liu Jianan's idea.

The next day, Liu Jianan gathered everyone and told them about Lin Xi.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go now!" Hu Jianye said hurriedly.

"Don't worry," Liu Jianan suddenly looked at the bushes not far away, "I've been listening for so long, why don't you show up?"

"You really can't hide anything from you."

As soon as the words fell, a man pushed aside the bushes and walked calmly in front of Liu Jianan.

Liu Jianan took a closer look and found that he was an acquaintance.

"Zhao Simo, am I seeing things?" Liu Jianan couldn't believe it, "How come you are here?"

Zhao Simo showed a foxy smile: "Xiao An'an, I came here first, so I should be the one asking you why you are here?"

"I was just traveling with my family and came here by chance." There was no trace of guilt on Liu Jianan's face, "But you, why did you come to such a far place instead of managing your team in Yuncheng?"

A hint of understanding flashed across Zhao Simo's eyes: "It seems that you are far away from Yuncheng."

Liu Jianan: "..."

No, Zhao Simo could also hear this information?

Liu Jianan decided to shut his mouth and stop talking.

Instead, it was Zhao Simo who took the initiative to speak: "It seems that the Lingbao Secret Realm we are in may have multiple entrances."

Liu Jianan felt embarrassed for a moment. Of course, he could hear that this was Zhao Simo taking the initiative to share information with him.

First, they had already entered the Lingbao Secret Realm, but they had not yet noticed it.

This shows that the entrance to this Lingbao Secret Realm is very wide, and there is indeed the possibility of multiple passages.

Second, Zhao Simo clearly told him that he did not enter from the entrance of Yuanliyun City.

The other party was so generous that he seemed a little petty.

Seeing that Liu Jianan had suffered a loss from Zhao Simo, Xu Zhaoxin immediately instructed Hu Jianye to invite people over and not give Zhao Simo the opportunity to meet Liu Jianan alone.

Hu Jianye understood. Compared to this old fox with a dagger hidden in his smile, he still liked General Duan better.

"Hey, friend over there, meeting is fate, why don't you come over and have a seat and drink something?" Hu Jianye waved at Zhao Simo and asked him to come to the camp.

Zhao Simo did not refuse and entered the camp alone.

Xu Zhaoxin immediately questioned him: "Did you come in alone, or did someone come in with you? Don't be nervous, I just want to confirm our manpower."

Zhao Simo didn't take Xu Zhaoxin's trick seriously at all, but threw the question back: "Do you think I came in alone or with a group of people?"

Xu Zhaoxin was choked, but it was still within his expectations: "Since you don't cooperate, please leave, we don't need such a collaborator."

"Hahaha, I think you misunderstood. I don't want to cooperate with you." Zhao Simo looked at Liu Jianan affectionately, "From the beginning to the end, the only person I want to cooperate with is Xiao Anan."

Liu Jianan has been immune to this title. He warned him with a fake smile: "If you want to cooperate, just cooperate honestly."

Zhao Simo: "Yes!"

He cooperated with the next questions very well.

Liu Jianan and others also asked that the other party had brought in almost all the elites of the Northwest Military Region, which surprised Liu Jianan: "You are going to go all out! It seems that you are determined to get this magic treasure."

"I have a reason to get it."

Zhao Simo cleared his throat and continued, "Let's not talk about this for now. According to the information we got from yesterday's exploration, a small community in the northeast direction is very likely the main venue of the Lingbao Secret Realm. The Lingbao we are looking for should be hidden there."

Northeast, isn't that the direction Lin Xi left?

Liu Jianan's mind raced. Could it be that the uncles and aunts mentioned by Lin Xi are the notorious weirdos in the horror party?

According to the Book of Superpowers, these weirdos pretend to be humans and even blend into the lives of ordinary people. When others relax their vigilance, they suddenly return to their original form to scare others to death.

It is really hard to guard against.
