Chapter 51 Meeting Cang Yao Again
"Cang Yao?" Feng Tianning called out with some confusion.
The man walking in front of them turned around quickly when he heard his name.
Seeing that the person calling him was Feng Tianning, Cang Yao's eyes lit up and he hurried to her side:
"Tianning, why are you here too?"
Feng Tianning did not answer, but asked in return:
"What about you? Why are you here?"
Speaking of this Cang Yao, I feel a little regretful.
The person he sent to keep an eye on the person in charge of Qinling said a few days ago that he saw the person in charge's wife and son suddenly return home.
The person in charge suddenly appeared a few hours after they returned home, and went deep into the Qinling Mountains with his wife and children.
Cang Yao investigated and found out that the wife and children of the person in charge had been living in Sakura Country, but for some unknown reason they suddenly returned to their country a few days ago.
When Cang Yao received the news, they had already entered the Qinling Mountains.
He sent the information he knew to Captain Liu, and then took a few people and followed the person in charge into the Qinling Mountains.
But he never expected to see this situation inside Qinling Mountains as soon as he came in.
The people here seemed to be invisible to them, like puppets.
And the longer you stay here, the more deeply you will be affected, and slowly you will become a puppet.
The bodyguards with Cang Yao are now a little demented and repeat the same actions every day with the residents here, but for some reason he is not affected.
Fortunately, they had enough food and equipment, so they did not starve to death here.
After hearing Cang Yao's words, the people in the special case team all looked a little solemn.
"But I didn't receive your message."
Captain Liu was a little confused as he had not received any news from Cang Yao during this period.
Cang Yao also frowned. He took out his cell phone and found that the chat box with Captain Liu was empty.
"How is this possible?" He remembered clearly that he had definitely sent a message to Captain Liu and asked him to come for support as soon as possible.
"From the moment we stepped into here, we have entered the strange domain. It is normal that the signal is affected." Jing Li explained.
"These puppets are probably residents near the Qinling Mountains. If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid we'll end up like this too."
Jing Li looked at Cang Yao thoughtfully, somewhat curious as to why he would not be affected.
Feng Tianning suddenly thought of the girls’ cries. The Sakura people wanted to collect the breath of living people, and these residents were probably the captured victims.
"Where do you live now?" Feng Tianning asked suddenly.
They have been here for at least three days. Are they going to have to sleep on the streets for three days?
Cang Yao coughed lightly and led them to the end of the snack street, then turned left and right and arrived at a dense forest.
This dense forest does look a bit like what the Qinling Mountains should look like, full of resentment and eerie and terrifying.
"It's here." Cang Yao walked to an open space and stopped.
"You didn't even set up a tent, and you just slept here?"
Feng Tianning was a little shocked. She thought Cang Yao was the kind of pampered young man, but she didn't expect that he was so hardworking.
Cang Yao shook his head:
"You can see it if you close your eyes."
The special case team slowly closed their eyes, and then they found that this open space suddenly appeared in their minds.
The next moment, an antique building rose from the ground.
There is a plaque hanging in the center of the gate with the two big characters "Yaochi" written on it. The whole building is surrounded by big red lanterns. From a distance, it looks more festive than a newlyweds' wedding room.
But such joy seems particularly strange in an environment like the Qinling Mountains.
"This is the Qinling Inn, which is our current hotel."
"Being here can reduce the impact of the strange domain."
Captain Liu opened his eyes and looked at Cang Yao with some suspicion:
"How did you find this place?"
Cang Yao smiled faintly, as if he expected him to ask this:
"We followed the person in charge here. He walked to this open space and suddenly disappeared into thin air."
"As soon as we closed our eyes, we saw the Yaochi, so we wanted to go in and see if he was there."
"I didn't expect that the people with me felt cured as soon as they entered, and all the symptoms of assimilation disappeared."
Captain Liu nodded. Cang Yao's words were very convincing, but he didn't know why, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Tianning, what do you think?"
Feng Tianning glanced at Cang Yao thoughtfully and said:
"Go in and take a look."
A small inn dares to be named Yao Chi. The evil spirit here had better have strong background and connections, otherwise she will not be polite.
Zheng Cong, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time:
"Whatever is inside, it's our only clue to get out now."
"That's right. If the evil spirits in this strange domain are really inside, it will be easy for us to deal with them." Xuan Gou Chen also agreed.
Seeing everyone say this, Captain Liu suppressed his uneasiness and nodded.
"Then let's go in."
Cang Yao raised a smile and glanced at the special case team detectives.
"You can walk in just by closing your eyes." There was a barely perceptible excitement in his tone.
Everyone closed their eyes as they were told, and Yao Chi appeared in their minds again.
The moment they stepped through the door, a cold wind suddenly blew around them, and everyone felt a chill that penetrated their bones, as if they were in an ice cellar.
The surrounding space seemed to be distorted for a moment and then returned to normal.
When they opened their eyes again, they were already inside the Yaochi.
Laughter and noise could be heard constantly, and it was even more lively inside than the night market outside.
But the people here are different from those outside. They seem to have their own souls rather than being puppets.
These people gathered in groups of three or four to drink and play cards. When they saw Cang Yao, they even greeted him with a smile.
"Aren't these people puppets?" Jing Li asked in surprise.
Cang Yao nodded:
"From what I've observed, they are undoubtedly alive."
Cang Yao brought them to the front desk, and a man with half of his eyes covered emerged from under the table:
"I'm the owner of Yao Chi. How many of you would like to stay here?"
Feng Tianning glanced at the boss and saw that he was also looking at them.
"We'll check in and book three rooms." Captain Liu smiled politely, signaling them not to alert the enemy.
The boss's complexion improved visibly, and he looked at them more eagerly, as if a dog saw a bone.
"Three standard rooms, with a total lifespan of thirty years, require a mortgage of ten years."
"Just give me forty years of life." The boss looked at them with a smile.
"Who will pay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the special case team was stunned.
It was the first time they heard that staying in a hotel would cost them their lives.
"Lifespan?" Captain Liu looked at Cang Yao, and only when he saw him nod did he believe that he had heard correctly.
"You paid them with their lifespan?"
Cang Yao nodded helplessly, and then urged:
"Hurry up and check in. Let's go to the room and discuss how to get out."
