"Who dares to ask who controls this green stuff, and how it got into this shallow layer?"
Old Liu's voice was full of disgust.
He was in a rather fearful state just a moment ago, but as soon as the source of this energy was mentioned, he seemed to suddenly become incredibly energetic.
It's as if those in charge of this thing, or those in charge of related matters, are all just sitting around doing nothing.
At that moment, I looked behind me and exchanged a glance with Yiyi. We both saw a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
It seems the water in here is something special!
We previously thought that Lao Liu had already revealed most of what he had to us.
I didn't expect there to be a management level involved.
These people also played a significant role in it.
This green substance, whether it's powder or slime, is simply a different form of green energy.
Moreover, I discovered that this green energy is the lifeblood of the entire shallow-level inhabitants.
On the surface, it seems to be just a simple matter of increasing their energy, nothing special.
But in reality, this energy is silently controlling everything on the surface.
Only this thing controlled everything on the surface, including those entangled in the pipes, and failed to achieve domination over the entire group.
As for this group, there are just too many talented people in it.
Putting aside everyone else, this driver in front of me alone has already deeply shocked me.
In such foggy weather, Lao Liu was able to maintain basic safety and even increase his speed at times.
How terrifying it would be if all the people in this shallow layer were ruled, both physically and mentally.
Putting aside everything else, even just the simplest example of drivers, this small group of people can rule and command everyone in the shallow realm related to transportation.
As Lao Liu just said, there are countless people who are more capable than him, or who have been driving more steadily for longer.
In other words, even someone as steady as Old Liu in front of us is just a minor character.
If everyone here is truly being slowly infiltrated and controlled by this green energy, I don't know what a terrifying scene that would be.
At that moment, a very bold idea popped into my head.
Could someone inside this Dragon Palace be plotting a rebellion against the manor above?
It can't really be called a rebellion. To be honest, this Dragon Palace is just a small well beneath the manor.
Before entering, I had absolutely no idea that there was such a hidden world inside.
But what if one day everyone in this Dragon Palace really unites as one, or is controlled by some department?
I'm afraid even if Yiyi and the Huang family, these two powerful families combined, couldn't subdue these people.
After a moment of silence, I decided to speak my mind.
"Master Liu, to tell you the truth, that woman on the roof of the car just now..."
And then there were the cleaning ladies who used to sweep near the post office; they all looked remarkably alike, moved in the same way, and even had the same kind of tubing on their bodies.
I don't know the specific arrangement of the pipes on their bodies.
However, I can roughly determine that these two people are the same person.
The reason I said that was simply to make Lao Liu believe me more.
At this point, if I don't release some bombshell information, it will probably be very difficult to extract the specific relationships that Lao Liu knows.
As someone who spends most of his time running between the post office and the security checkpoint, I think he must have seen street cleaners sweeping the streets before midnight.
To be honest, at such a creepy time, he was still cleaning there. Who could have guessed or guessed that the woman was doing it to support her family?
Anyone passing by would probably take a second look at this person.
And I remember very clearly that we didn't see a single cleaner the whole way after we got into Lao Liu's car.
It appeared out of nowhere, and there was only one of them. I don't think anyone could miss it.
In other words, in my opinion, Lao Liu has definitely seen this person before.
It couldn't possibly be a situation that had never been seen before.
As expected, my guess was absolutely correct. Upon hearing my words, Old Liu's expression changed immediately.
Old Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened abruptly, almost causing the car to drive into the roadside ditch.
"Old Liu, take it easy."
I quickly spoke to him.
If we sacrifice our safety in order to obtain accurate information at this time, it would be compounding our mistakes.
Old Liu paused for a moment, then asked me again.
I told her all the information, from the very beginning when we saw the cleaner, including the orange uniform she was wearing.
And how did we encounter this ghost-like monster the first two times?
I briefly explained all of these things to Lao Liu.
Old Liu was completely stunned.
"What did you say?!"
He exclaimed, "Two identical ones? Wearing orange overalls and carrying brooms without bristles?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Liu's worldview seemed to be completely shattered.
"right!"
I nodded, my eyes now holding a more unwavering expression.
I'm continuing to add to it.
"Moreover, we clearly saw that woman earlier; I could see that several of the threads inside her clothes were broken. And the woman we met later had her threads removed by us."
If they were one person, how could they be so lively and energetic, even venturing into this fog?
Old Liu's face turned deathly pale in an instant, even more so than when he saw the claws, as if he had heard something terrible.
I saw his lips tremble, and he slowed down his grip on the steering wheel even further. It took him a long time to finally manage to squeeze out a sentence.
"Oh no...you've probably run into a fake corpse!"
"A fake corpse?"
Yiyi and I said in unison, "None of us have ever heard of this word before."
Can you even tell if a corpse is real or fake?
If this person is dead, I can accept it; after all, I've seen quite a few cases of ghosts haunting the dead.
"It's...it's the shadow 'replicated' by the pipeline!"
Old Liu swallowed hard, his voice trembling. I could see in his eyes that he seemed to be recalling something.
"An elderly person in the group said that the green energy in the pipeline can create mannequins that look exactly like living people, with identical movements and appearances, and even some of their clothes are the same."
These people are not much different from ordinary people, except that they have no self-awareness. If you ask them, they won't speak; they just quietly do their things.
And what they did was even more bizarre.
They just mechanically repeat the same things.
