Chapter 381: No Way Back
"This, this...what's going on? Why are there so many people suddenly here?" Zheng Fu was startled and quickly approached everyone.
The same goes for other soldiers.
It was the first time they encountered such a magical thing. The streets were dark and deserted before, but now it looked like they were strolling in the night market of Pingyang City.
"Don't be afraid, they are the people of Pingyang City, alive." Jiang Yunxi said. She looked around and there was no fear or anxiety on the people's faces.
Zheng Fu: “…”
All the missing people in Pingyang City are here.
"They don't seem to be afraid at all. Have we entered someone else's formation?" Qian Heng narrowed her eyes slightly. She had also set up an illusion formation before.
Could this place be the same illusion formation she set up?
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the nearest stall. "Uncle, is this Pingyang City?"
The fishmonger put down his knife and said, "Of course, are you coming to Pingyang City today?"
"Yes, there was no one in Pingyang City when we entered, but we came here inexplicably after dark at night." Jiang Yunxi did not beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"You are indeed new here. Don't be afraid. We will be able to return to the real Pingyang City in a few days." The uncle said in a calm and relaxed tone.
"It seems that you know about the strange thing that happened when you disappeared." Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised. She thought they were unaware of it.
"Older people know that this kind of strange thing happens once every ten years. If you count carefully, this year is the tenth time, and it has been a hundred years." The uncle thought for a while and said.
They didn't know it before, and only found out after their elders told them.
Later, when they experienced it again, they were already used to it. Anyway, they would go back after ten days or half a month.
"Such a strange thing was not reported to the court." Zhan Luochen frowned. Although he would come back in the end, it was too weird. Shouldn't it be reported?
"I'm not sure about this. It may be because there is nothing wrong every time, and a master has checked it and found no problem, so it may not be reported." The uncle said with a smile.
But the people in Pingyang City were used to it and didn't take it seriously at all.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
"Where are the Tianqi people who captured Pingyang City?" Jiang Jingyan asked. He looked around but did not see any Tianqi soldiers.
"They found themselves so frightened after coming here that they were looking for ways to get out every day. They are probably in the government office or General Chi's residence right now." The uncle said with a smile.
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
Are they really not afraid at all?
The people around were moving around casually.
"Don't be afraid, just go to Pingyang's night market, it's very lively." After saying this, the uncle started shouting loudly to sell fish.
Jiang Yunxi said thank you and took everyone away. The people's faces were calm and composed. They were not affected by the formation at all. They were in a good mood.
"It seems that everything is fine. We can only be trapped here for a few days and wait to be sent back." Chu Leyi blinked. She didn't expect it to be just like this. No wonder the people were not afraid.
"Maybe we can't go back this time." Jiang Yunxi said seriously, looking up at the sky.
Chu Leyi's expression changed. "Can't go back? What does that mean?"
Qian Heng continued, "It means everyone here will die."
"I will die... I don't want to die!" Zhan Luochen's face changed drastically. Didn't the uncle say that he would come once every ten years and would stay for a few days each time and then go back?
"With my sister here, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Jingyan said contemptuously.
Zhan Luochen reacted instantly and what he said seemed to make sense, so he looked at Jiang Yunxi.
"Qianheng is right. Everyone who comes in this time will die. The hundred-year period is up." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. It can only be said that the people don't quite understand this.
That's why I thought that every ten years, after staying for a few days, I would return to reality.
But when the hundred-year agreement came to an end, they could never go back.
"If we come in now, will we die too?" Zheng Fu was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Yes, unless this situation is broken." Jiang Yunxi said. As soon as she came here, she sensed resentment. It was completely different from the real Pingyang City.
The person who radiates resentment is the one who manipulates everything.
"How to break the deadlock?" Zheng Fu felt his scalp tingling, but when he thought about King Han and the others being there, he gradually calmed down.
Jiang Yunxi said calmly, "The person who set this up is right here. Only by finding him can we break the situation."
Zheng Fu looked around and asked, "How can we find him with so many people around?"
"First we have to know what happened in Pingyang City a hundred years ago, so that we can understand why the other party did this." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
We need to ask those who are in their eighties or nineties, they should know more.
"Sir Zheng, take your soldiers to find out if anything major happened in Pingyang City a hundred years ago." Zhan Beiyuan ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Zheng Fu just wanted to get out alive, so he quickly took the soldiers to ask the older man.
"Sister, what should we do?" Jiang Jingyan asked. He thought nothing was wrong, but he didn't expect that they had entered a dead end.
"Let's go to the government office. There should be records of major events that happened in Pingyang City a hundred years ago." Jiang Yunxi said. Zheng Fu went to ask people and they looked up the information.
Everyone walked quickly towards the government office. This time, they all looked very solemn, no longer as relaxed and happy as before. After all, if they didn't find a way to break the deadlock, they would all die.
When they were almost at the government office, they saw many soldiers of the Apocalypse standing at the gate. The uniforms they wore had the Apocalypse logo on them.
"We should get out of here and leave these bastards here." Zhan Luochen said angrily with his fists clenched, but looking at their expressions, he felt secretly happy.
I asked you to capture Pingyang City, and now you are scared!
"You have a good idea. Once we find the person who planned this, we can discuss it with him." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile. The person who planned this would not kill the people in the whole city for no reason.
So they have to figure out the whole thing.
At this time, many people came out of the government office.
“Get away from me. If you have time to block the way here, you might as well find a way out quickly. Otherwise, you Tianqi will not be able to occupy Pingyang City.”
A middle-aged man in a military uniform said with a dark face and a sarcastic tone.
Originally they were all controlled by Apocalypse, but strange things happened and they came to a strange place, but it was exactly the same as Pingyang City.
The people of Apocalypse listened to his words, all of them were furious, but they couldn't refute him. They had been trapped here for several days.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the government office gate only after seeing Tianqi's soldiers leave.
"Han, Your Highness Prince Han..." Chi Qifeng was stunned at first when he saw Zhan Beiyuan, then he stepped forward quickly and saluted excitedly, full of surprise.
"General Chi, we want to know what major events happened in Pingyang City a hundred years ago. Take us to the yamen's record room, and we can talk about other things later." Zhan Beiyuan said majestically.
"Yes, please follow me." Chi Qifeng said respectfully.
A moment.
They arrived at a house.
"Prince Han, the bookshelves here record all the big and small events and various cases in Pingyang City." Chi Qifeng introduced.
"We are only investigating what happened a hundred years ago. Where is it?" Jiang Yunxi asked. There was not much time left, and they had to quickly find out what happened a hundred years ago.
