Chapter 380: Joining the Game
"When I learned that Pingyang had been captured, I immediately sent people to investigate to see if there was any way to recapture it. However, the soldiers who went there found that there were no soldiers guarding the gates of Pingyang."
"Then two soldiers quietly sneaked in at night, and something even stranger happened. At five minutes past midnight, no one was at the gate of Pingyang City. The city was completely dark, without any candles or people."
"They felt something was strange and were so frightened that they quickly ran back to report it. For several days after that, they went to the city gate at 12:00 p.m. to check, but there was still no one there, and no candles."
When Zheng Fu said this, he felt a little scared. He was in his forties and this was the first time he had encountered such a weird thing. It was unbelievable.
Although Pingyang City is not big, it has a population of nearly ten thousand. It is impossible for Tianqi to take everyone away in such a short time.
What's more, Tianqi had finally captured Pingyang, it was impossible for him to just take the people away and abandon the city.
"This..." Zhan Luochen was confused.
"Is it haunted? Let's go check it out tonight." Jiang Jingyan's eyes lit up and he looked eager to try. He was no longer afraid of ghosts.
"I'm going too, I'm going too." Chu Leyi said excitedly. She was particularly interested in these mysterious things now.
Qian Heng said with certainty, "If the entire city suddenly disappeared, ghosts wouldn't be able to do that. Someone must have done something."
"Qianheng is right. Let's go and check it out today." Jiang Yunxi said. It was a good thing that the people from Tianqi disappeared, but the people from Pingyang could not disappear.
They are the people of Tenglong Kingdom.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at Zheng Fu and said, "You arrange for someone to lead the way. We will go to Pingyang now."
Zheng Fu quickly said, "I'll go with you."
He also wanted to know what was going on.
Jincheng is not far from Pingyang City, just over a day's journey. When Jiang Yunxi and the others arrived in Pingyang City, it was almost evening. Looking inside, it looked like a dead city.
"I really can't sense any human presence in the city." Qianheng's face was full of confusion, and he looked towards the city vigilantly.
The streets were empty, but the stalls on both sides were still there, with quite a few items on them, and some of the leafy vegetables were all wilted.
It was as if the stall owner suddenly disappeared, leaving no time to pack up.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jiang Yunxi walked straight into the city. She didn't sense any strange evil spirit, but the city was full of indescribable weirdness.
Everyone quickly followed.
Zheng Fu swallowed his saliva. He followed out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that Miss Jiang was so brave and dared to go in directly.
The soldiers he sent to investigate these days were all looking at the city gate and did not dare to go in.
"Looking at these stalls, it seems that everyone disappeared suddenly, and it seems that they have been gone for many days." Jiang Jingyan said, touching his chin.
Some fruits and vegetables rotted, but the fish in the buckets and basins were still swimming because there was water.
"I don't feel any negative energy here." Zhan Luochen said. He went to Jiangzhou for the first time and later went to Lin'an County to look for the formation point.
He felt the eerie feeling as soon as he entered the city.
Jiang Yunxi stopped and said, "Let me cast a formation to test it out."
She closed her eyes and chanted a spell. In an instant, her consciousness quickly spread to the city and carefully investigated. After a while, she quickly opened her eyes.
"There is indeed no one here, and I didn't sense any evil creatures. It's really strange." Jiang Yunxi's face was full of confusion. It was the first time she encountered such a strange thing.
"Why don't we find a place to stay here first and come back to take a look at it at night." Zhan Beiyuan suggested. It was not completely dark yet, and maybe some things had not come out yet.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile, "Okay."
The less she found, the more it showed that there was something wrong here, because it was indeed strange.
Zhan Beiyuan asked Qi Yan and Xuan Qi to find a suitable place to rest. Since there was no one here, they just found an inn that looked spacious.
There are a lot of ingredients in the inn’s kitchen, some of which are spoiled, but some are still good.
Biluo picked out and selected some edible ingredients, and then she, Chu Leyi, Jiang Jingyan and others began to prepare dinner.
"Let's go out for a walk." Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan was very happy.
They did not bring anyone else with them. The two of them looked around casually on the streets and finally arrived at the government office in Pingyang City. After entering, there was no one inside and weapons were scattered on the ground.
"How do you think they disappeared?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
Jiang Yunxi stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Someone must have set up a formation to pull everyone in Pingyang City into it."
"Just like the illusion formation that Qianheng set up last time?" Zhan Beiyuan thought of the illusion they entered that time. It was the same as reality, but everything inside was illusory.
"It's possible. Perhaps everything will be known after late at night." Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly. She looked up at a certain place in the sky, then looked away.
The two of them looked around the government office, and then went to General Chi's mansion in Pingyang City. It was also empty. When they returned to the inn, dinner was already ready.
Jiang Jingyan and others were not worried because all the people in Pingyang City disappeared. Instead, they talked and laughed while eating. Only Zheng Fu and the soldiers looked nervous and on guard.
After they finished their meal, except for the inn's lobby which was as bright as day, the outside was pitch black. There was an inexplicable eerie feeling, as if a monster was staring at them.
Jiang Yunxi put down her chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'm going out now. Do you want to go?"
"go."
Jiang Jingyan and others said in unison that they had wanted to go out and take a look for a long time. They had followed her to find the formation points some time ago and had experienced so much that they were no longer afraid.
Zheng Fu swallowed hard, "Miss Jiang, are you really going out? I think Pingyang City is full of strange things. Will we disappear as soon as we leave?"
Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile, "You should just disappear. If you don't disappear, how can you find out where the people here have gone?"
The only way they can break the deadlock now is to get involved themselves.
Zheng Fu: “…”
"Lord Zheng, what are you afraid of? She is very powerful. No monsters or demons can be her match. Just follow her without worry." Zhan Luochen said with a smile.
Zheng Fu: “…”
No demon or monster can match her, how can she be so powerful?
A group of people walked out of the inn.
Jiang Jingyan and Zhan Luochen walked in front with tinder in their hands. The surroundings were unusually quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps and no wind blowing.
Zheng Fu and others looked around nervously, fearing that something bad might suddenly rush out.
But after walking several streets, it was calm and there was nothing.
"Sister, are we still leaving?" Jiang Jingyan turned around and asked Jiang Yunxi.
"Let's go, keep moving forward." Jiang Yunxi had a bright smile on her face.
Jiang Jingyan and Zhan Luochen could only lead everyone to move forward.
Not long after.
The surroundings became brighter, and many people appeared, standing on the busy streets.
