145 The Ninth Store

◎ Tongtong: I'm...waiting for you. ◎

When Xu Zhengrong and Ren You came to the DIY hut in the North District in the morning, they rode two patrol motorcycles, which could carry people on the back seat.

On the way back, Xu Zhengrong took Du Xiao, who had regained consciousness, and Lu Yuan sat in Ren You's car.

The patrol motorcycles set out from the DIY hut and moved along the street.

In the evening, more and more people came to the street.

The neon signs on both sides of the road gradually flashed, and the highly saturated dazzling beams and the sunlight at dusk made the streets noisy and hot.

There are many narrow alleys in the North District, where pedestrians and vehicles coexist.

The patrol motorcycle avoided pedestrians along the way, stopped and started, and it took a long time to get out of the crowded streets of the North District and drive into the quiet and deserted circular path.

Ren Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath: "Only the North District is still so lively."

The road section where the patrol car was driving was flanked by red fences. Apart from them, there were no other vehicles or pedestrians on the road.

Lu Yao had excellent hearing, and heard Ren You's words amid the roar of the engine. He couldn't help but say, "I went to the East District once, and it was also very quiet at night. Could it be the same in the West District?"

Ren You's back stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he tilted his head slightly, "Because of the existence of the committee building and the church, the East District and the West District have not been very lively for a long time."

In the eyes of the guests of Ghost Street, the street committee and the church are his minions, and they just want to stay away. All

living things have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Lu Yao originally guessed that the quietness of the East District was related to the street committee, and now it has been verified.

Lu Yao: "Is the South District the same as the East and West Districts?"

Ren Ran fell silent. After more than ten seconds, he turned his head again and lowered his voice: "The South District used to be quite lively. Something happened a month ago, which angered Him and caused Him to punish him. Many people died. Now it's almost like a no-man's land."

Lu Yao wanted to ask for more details, but Ren Ran shook his head: "All the people who participated in that incident are gone. No one knows the details, and you'd better not ask."

Lu Yao lowered his eyelids and stopped asking.

The patrol motorcycle suddenly drove onto a slightly wider road. The red light flowed from the sky to the bottom like water waves, constantly sweeping over people.

There was no pain, but Lu Yao had an uncomfortable feeling of being spied on.

Ren You seemed to have guessed that Lu Yao would be curious, and without waiting for her to ask, he took the initiative to say, "This road is a special passage for the management staff of Ghost Street, connecting four areas to ensure that the staff can move quickly between the four areas. Look outside, that is the central city. Those red purification rays are emitted from the central city, covering this area. The probability of getting lost will be greatly reduced by irradiating the purification light every day."

There is an intersection every few dozen meters on the special passage, and the narrow red road bridge is suspended in the air, winding and twisting, leading to the central city mentioned by Ren You.

The area of ​​the central city is full of dazzling golden light, which is blinding.

Lu Yao squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a few times, but couldn't see clearly, so he had to close his eyes to relieve his discomfort: "Have you been to the central city?"

Ren Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The central city is a restricted area. You see so many intersections and bridges, but in fact no one has ever been there."

The impassable restricted area looks like a treasure chest with a huge secret. Lu

Yao made a key mark for the central city in his mind.

Driving out of the edge of the central city, they returned to the quiet and deserted roundabout and arrived at the church in the west district in less than a minute. Lu Yao

got out of the car and looked up at the jaw-droppingly gorgeous church.

The four-story Western classical-style cathedral has soft milky white walls and a cabriole-blue dome spire. A huge alien statue stands at the main entrance, and two decorated hot springs are on both sides of the statue. It is magnificent and more impressive than the office buildings in the East District.

Xu Zhengrong led the way for Lu Yao, and they walked into the gate along the marble steps, passed through the long and quiet atrium, and went up one floor before they stopped at the door of the director's office.

Qin Qiumin's office door was not closed. He looked up and saw Xu Zhengrong and Lu Yao, and stood up to greet them.

Lu Yao didn't see Jiang Lin, so he exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Qiu Ming and asked directly, "Where is Jiang Lin?"

Qin Qiu Ming paused and leaned back on the chair, "Jiang Lin went on patrol with the team this afternoon and hasn't come back yet." Lu Yao

tilted his head to look at Xu Zhengrong.

Xu Zhengrong drooped his eyelids and didn't dare to look at Lu Yao.

The church had finally met Jiang Lin, so there was no way they would let him go. But they didn't want to offend the owner for the time being. After Xu Zhengrong communicated with Director Qin, they came up with this idea: delay first, invite the owner to the church, and then let Director Qin persuade the owner to give up Jiang Lin.

Lu Yao had met so many people that he understood what the two meant just by looking at their expressions. He stood up and said, "Since you had no intention of giving Jiang Lin to me, you could have just told me directly. There's no need to waste time like this."

Qin Qiu Ming didn't expect the shop owner to not only see through it but also point it out directly. He stood up awkwardly and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Wait until Jiang Lin comes back..."

Just as Lu Yao was about to interrupt, a security guard appeared at the door, panting and begging, with an anxious face, "Master, Ren, something happened in the meditation room."

Qin Qiu Ming's face changed, he glanced at Lu Yao and Xu Zhengrong, and then tried his best to calm down: "What happened?"

Security subordinate: "Ren You just came back to report that Du Xiao has regained consciousness, so we were going to send her to the meditation room for another day of observation. As a result, as soon as the door of the meditation room was opened, many tentacles stretched out from the door, and Ren You, Du Xiao and the gatekeeper were all caught. "

Qin Qiu Ming's face was as dark as water, he almost couldn't stand steadily, and fell into the chair.

The meditation room is a room with special abilities that suddenly appeared on the first floor of the church two or three months ago. It can temporarily suppress or stimulate the speed of the mutant's alienation.

They thought they could at least use this special room to do something. Could it be that it is also His trap?

When Xu Zhengrong heard about Ren You's accident, his face suddenly changed. Without waiting for Qin Qiu Ming's instructions, he hurried out.

He was a survivor among the oldest employees in the church. He had seen colleagues with mental breakdowns and madness, optimistic and positive colleagues lost their way and became alienated, and ordinary people who were devoured by aliens in the blink of an eye. He himself had also encountered several near-fatal crises, but each time he narrowly escaped death.

When he saw Ren You on the first day, Xu Zhengrong had a hunch in his heart: this guy would not live long.

Compared with ordinary people, security guards would frequently come into contact with aliens similar to those things, and were more easily affected, and the risk of alienation was extremely high.

The first day of work was like a primary school student looking forward to a spring outing, without realizing the danger of his profession.

Most of the people who drowned in the river were good at swimming, and the people who were most likely to die on Ghost Street were those who were not afraid of death.

Xu Zhengrong made a decision in his heart, this time.

This time, he would be the sacrifice.

When Lu Yao followed Qin Qiumin to the room at the end of the corridor on the first floor, more than a dozen security guards stood in two rows, holding shields in their hands, struggling to defend against the huge tentacles that were thrown out from the meditation room from time to time.

The security guard in the front row told Qin Qiumin that Xu Zhengrong was dragged into the meditation room.

The tentacle had originally grabbed a young security guard in the front row, and the newcomer was scared to tears.

Xu Zhengrong hurried over, swung the fruit knife in his hand and cut off the tentacles, saving the newcomer, but he was rolled up by the two tentacles and dragged away.

Qin Qiumin frowned, his expression changed several times, and finally controlled his emotions and asked in a low voice: "Can a fruit knife cut off his hand?"

The security guard who reported was also confused: "I don't understand what's going on."

A security guard in the back row added: "The knife is particularly bright, it doesn't look like something from Ghost Street."

The security guard who reported tried to recall the situation at that time: "By the way, there is a silver round mark on the handle of the knife, and there seems to be a word in the middle."

The security guard in the back row continued: "It should be a word 'remote'."

As soon as the voice fell, a loud noise came.

The door of the meditation room was shattered, and dozens of tentacles covered with golden vertical pupils stretched out from the door at the same time. There was also a creaking sound coming from the door, as if the wall between the corridor and the meditation room would collapse in the next second.

The security guards in the corridor were so scared that their legs went limp, and they could hardly hold the shields in their hands. The fear and despair came more violently than the urge to pee.

They were absolutely unable to resist the container with its eyes open.

However, the expected fierce attack did not come. A golden light curtain covered with strange characters blocked the front. The thick tentacles smashed down heavily with a muffled sound, but did not break through the strange barrier that was as thin as glass.

Qin Qiumin and the security guards present almost forgot to breathe, their faces were full of shock and confusion.

Lu Yao's left arm was covered with pale golden totems. She held the ruler of warnings in her right hand, pressed it against the protective barrier, and pushed forward step by step until she forced the monster's tentacles back into the door of the meditation room.

"Lu Yao?" A familiar yet strange voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Yao turned around, and the security guards all looked dazed, staring at her, as if they had not heard the voice just now.

That voice rang out again, this time with a tone of disbelief and surprise: "You really came to save me!"

The voice was in her head!!!

The Dream Fulfilling System had been away for too long, and Lu Yao almost forgot the feeling of a little thing nagging and irritating her in her head all the time. In addition, this guy spoke with a crying tone, which was completely different from his previous arrogant and sharp-tongued appearance. She almost didn't recognize him.

Lu Yao turned around, lowered her head to cover the look in her eyes, and spoke to the system calmly: "Where are you?"

A huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from the meditation room, wrapped around Lu Yao's waist, and dragged her into the door at lightning speed.

The voice of the Dream Fulfilling System rang at the same time: [I was deceived! I wanted to go back to find you, but failed. He will find me soon, don't say anything, listen to my instructions. He claims to be omniscient and omnipotent, but the knowledge and experience he has gained are far inferior to yours. After all, you own so many worlds. Maybe you are the only one in this world who can defeat him. But he has completely controlled this world. Once he finds out your specialness, he will definitely try his best to get you. You will become his most perfect vessel. You must pay attention to hiding your whereabouts. Don't use your mobile phone and the Internet in this world. He will notice. This room will disappear soon. Ghost Street is just... don't get close to... the ray belt... the real exit is... I'm... waiting for you...】

Lu Yao: "..."

The first time he heard that the meditation room was a special space that appeared two or three months ago, Lu Yao secretly guessed that the timing was a bit too coincidental, just coinciding with the disappearance of the dream fulfillment system.

Lu Yao decided to come to the church, firstly for Jiang Lin, and secondly to take a look at the meditation room.

When she heard the security guard report that something happened in the meditation room, she ran down without thinking.

Her intuition was still quite accurate, and there were indeed clues left behind.

Unfortunately, the last few sentences were intermittent, and she didn't hear a word of the most important information at this stage.

There were rows of cylindrical transparent incubators in the meditation room, and they were all sleeping mutants.

Only a healing chamber at the innermost corner was broken. The golden octopus, which had almost transformed into a complete form, huddled in the corner like a piece of rotten meat without bones, with its big head drooping and its golden eyes fixed on Lu Yao. Several people were wrapped on its tentacles. They were Ren You, Du Xiao, Xu Zhengrong, and the gatekeeper.

Lu Yao took a deep breath to calm down, raised the ruler of discipline, and prepared to solve the crisis in front of her before thinking about the information left by the system. After

a few seconds, her expression froze and she slowly put down her hand.

For some reason, flesh-pink bubbles appeared on the edge of the golden octopus's tentacles and began to expand rapidly. In less than half a minute, the alien shape that was about to swell into a hot air balloon exploded with a "bang" and shattered into slag.

Suddenly, a system screen popped up in front of Lu Yao, and a sentence appeared silently: [Don't keep anyone who has seen your ability.]

After all of them suddenly appeared and disappeared, the wall skin in the meditation room began to peel off, and the blue diamond-shaped lattice patterns the size of a fingernail peeled off bit by bit like materialized data fragments, revealing the wallpaper with light golden patterns underneath.

In Lu Yao's eyes, the special space created by the Dream Fulfilling System was peeled off, and this room began to return to its original appearance.

The function of this room as a meditation room also disappeared.
