Chapter 176 Chapter 176

All training bases have been sealed off. No one, whether domestic personnel going to the bases for training or foreign students, is allowed to leave the bases.

As for those who have already left the base, they must return to the base before 7pm after receiving the message.

"Let's go back after lunch." Qingtong said as he put his phone into his bag.

Han Qi nodded, still thinking about the theft of the secret book, and asked Qing Tong: "Which country do you think did it?"

Qingtong paused in his steps, and the salvation system in his mind immediately replied: "The countries that stole the artifacts were India, the United States, and Yana. Han made a plan but never had the chance to carry it out. The United States was the one that got the replica. Other countries also had thoughts about it, but they gave up in the end."

Qingtong said: "The United States."

"You also think they are suspicious?" Han Qi asked in confusion. "After receiving the message, why didn't you ask those who left the base to return immediately before 7pm? Aren't you afraid that the stolen secret manual will be transferred?"

Qingtong: I'm not afraid. It's just a useless copy anyway.

"Maybe the people above have other considerations." Qingtong said vaguely, "As long as you don't leave the country, you can't escape."

“You are right.”

The two left the tourist attraction, walked into a restaurant on the street, and ordered food using their mobile phones.

After a while, the hot meal was served, and the two of them started eating with chopsticks. Then they heard people at the next table chatting, also talking about the lost secret book. When the conversation got heated, the boss also joined in the discussion, slamming the table and saying that they shouldn't have invited foreigners, as their good intentions had attracted thieves.

There were two foreigners sitting at a table behind Qingtong and the others, one man and one woman. They didn't say anything at first, until the boss said that the foreigners who came to study were thieves. Then the man spoke unhappily: "This matter has nothing to do with our country of Russia. We have always been friends with China."

Russia is located in the northernmost part of the eastern continent. Due to its topography, it is in a cold season for most of the year. It shares a part of its land with the northeastern region of China. We cannot say that we have always been friends, but it is true that the relationship has been pretty good most of the time since ancient times, and it is still a diplomatic friendly party today.

The relationship between countries will affect the harmony between the people. At least after hearing that the two were from Russia, the attitude of the boss and the guests improved a little, saying that they would not doubt the friends from Russia, and they wanted to denounce the guys from the Western Continent.

Well, implicit in the conversation is the United States.

Qingtong lowered her head to eat the food. The people in the store were not scolded in vain, because the theft was indeed done by an American.

The relationship between Russia and the United States is not very good. This Russian man also joined the ranks of those who denounced the United States. He mentioned that there were two Americans in his training base who had a very annoying temper. He also said that the other party looked like a thief and might have done such a thing.

The salvation system said in Qingtong's mind: "He guessed right, it was the two Americans in his base who did it."

Qingtong paused while picking up food, then continued eating naturally.

Anyway, the real cheats have not been stolen, and neither he nor the pseudonym intends to get involved in this matter. They will just have to wait and see how the official handles it.

After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Qingtong was about to leave, but Hanqi was so excited chatting with the two Russians that he not only learned their names but also added their contact information.

The two people from Russia, the man is called Valentin and the woman is called Olga. Moreover, the two are siblings, and the probability of them becoming awakened at the same time after encountering something strange is pitifully small.

Perhaps they are the only brother and sister pair in the entire Eastern Mainland.

Now they have come to China together to learn secrets and have been sent to the same base for training. I don’t know whether this is a special care from the Chinese authorities towards our friendly country or if they were assigned together by coincidence.

"It's really nice to chat with you, my friend. If you come to Russia, I will definitely treat you to the strongest liquor in our country." Valentin said happily, and then he looked at Hanqi's round face, "If you are an adult."

"I will be an adult next year," said Han Qi.

Qingtong frowned slightly. When he was about to speak to Hanqi, the room suddenly became dark, as if it had suddenly changed from noon to the middle of the night.

"Ouch, what's going on?" the shop owner exclaimed. He turned around and walked toward the wall, trying to touch the light switch. He bumped into tables, chairs, and guests along the way. Finally, he touched the door, snap. Suddenly the light was turned on.

The house was brightly lit.

"Why did it suddenly turn dark?"

“I don’t know.”

"Look outside the doors and windows. Is it pitch black?"

"Oh my god, there must be something weird!"

Qingtong immediately pulled out a dagger from his palm. During the conversation, Hanqi revealed that he and Qingtong were awakened people from the training base. Others were not surprised to see this scene. Most people didn't even notice Qingtong, but just looked outside the doors and windows in horror.

"Host, it's a strange domain!!" The salvation system was also panicked, and quickly said to Qingtong, "Danger level A, this is not something the host can handle by himself, quickly call the vest to save the situation!"

"Let the closest vest who has no mission come over here." Qingtong said to the salvation system in his mind, "and turn on the live broadcast at the same time."

For this kind of mysterious area that is isolated from the outside world, it is better to broadcast live to let people outside know the internal situation.

In case of casualties, rescue will be able to find people in time when the mysterious area is lifted.

"Also, tell the vests that come here not to reveal my identity." Qingtong reminded the salvation system again.

Every frame captured by the live camera is destined to be recorded by the audience outside, and then studied frame by frame. If someone finds out that the vest has any connection with Qingtong's real body, it will be a big trouble.

The salvation system responded one by one.

"By the way, system, how large is the area covered by this strange domain? How many people are trapped here?"

Savior System: "This time, the strange domain covers the six alleys of the old West City, Sanzhi Street of the North City Gate, Min Wangfu near the East City Building, and Caishikou."

Qingtong: ...

Quite a lot. Wait, are these places together? If I remember correctly, they are in the capital city, scattered in four old city districts in the east, south, west and north, right?

Qing Tong asked incredulously: "Could it be that the central area of ​​the capital is included?"

The size of the weird domain is proportional to the weird power. Being able to cover so many places to form a weird domain, is this an A-level one?

Savior System: "No, these areas were covered and became weird areas, and then they were connected to each other to become a big weird area."

From the outside world's perspective, these places still form separate weird areas. However, people trapped inside the weird areas can walk from the weird area in the old city to the weird area at the north gate or even the east city building.

In such a large place, besides the weirdness of the master of the weird domain, there must be a lot of small weirdness derived from the weird domain.

In short, this is a large dungeon. In addition to the boss, there are also many small monsters, and there may even be some tricky elite monsters.

One vest is definitely not enough.

"System...let the Invisible Son come over." Qingtong whispered.

Since the live broadcast in the ancient tomb, although Qingtong has released the Invisible Son's alias, he has been very low-key and has basically not participated in any live broadcasts.

"Host, there are more than 800 people trapped." The salvation system sighed, "There is also a primary school in the northern part of the city. Fortunately, it was not involved, otherwise there would be more people trapped."

Qingtong: ...

"Let Bai Yixin come too."

I hope two vests are enough, otherwise I can only use paper figures.

"Host, don't worry too much. There are awakened people in every area involved." The salvation system said, "It's not just the host who is carrying the burden. There are also people from the weird response department. Everyone has learned the secrets and is capable of dealing with it."

"I hope so."

During Qingtong's communication with the salvation system, outsiders saw Qingtong as if he was in deep thought. This was Hanqi's first time facing the weird, and the most dangerous weird area. He felt a little uneasy and asked Qingtong, "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Let's go out and investigate!" Valentin stood up, slapped the table, took a sip of white wine and said, "Let's go out and take a look!"

"Don't be impulsive! It's already dark outside at noon, it's probably a strange area." Qing Tong stopped him quickly, "The danger level of the strange things that can form a strange area is at least A-level. We have just learned the secrets and have not made any preparations. If we go out rashly, we will be courting death!"

"Are you just going to wait here like an idiot?" Valentin asked unhappily.

"Brother." Olga whispered something in their country's language to Valentin. Valentin was silent for a moment and sat down.

Seeing Valentin sitting down, Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief. Under everyone's attention, he walked to the door of the store and looked at the darkness outside.

"Qingtong?" Han Qi asked.

Qingtong thought of Hanqi's ability and asked him, "Can you sense how many people are around here?"

Han Qi nodded and closed his eyes. After a moment, he said, "There are probably 20 to 30 people in the surrounding shops... It's very blurry. In addition..."

The baby-faced boy opened his eyes, a hint of fear in his eyes: "I sensed something walking on this street, but they are not human, because I cannot communicate with them using my ability."

When they heard that the people walking on the streets outside were not human, the customers and the owner of the store shuddered.

"I just had a meal, how come this happened..."

"What should we do? You are awakened ones, right? Can you handle it?"

Qingtong sighed: "Be quiet."

No one said anything.

Qingtong listened to the sounds on the street, squinting his eyes, and indeed found that there seemed to be some vague figures walking in the darkness. Those figures gradually approached, wearing rough linen clothes, which seemed to be dressed hundreds of years ago. They walked in a very stiff posture, with their heads very low, their chins almost touching their chests, and their necks bent into an incredible arc.

These are hanging tricks.

The salvation system told Qingtong their information. The Hanged Monsters were very weak and anyone with a little ability could deal with them. At least Qingtong was confident that he could defeat them one-on-one. But the problem was that there were more than a dozen Hanged Monsters in front of him, and who knew how many were hiding in the dark streets.

As long as you stay away from the hanging monsters, they will not attack you, so just let them go and ignore them.

What really caught Qingtong's attention was that although these hanged bastards were all wearing linen ancient costumes, their outfits were different. Some wore rough tops and pants, while others wore round-necked robes. Their hairstyles were also different. They were probably not from the same period.
