The moon and stars are sparse.
The bell rang for the evening self-study get out of class, and students walked out of the classroom in twos and threes, talking and laughing as they walked into the night. After a hard day, this may be the most relaxing time for them.
There is no homework, no teacher, and a few friends around you. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go home and take a shower before you can climb into bed and rest comfortably
Among the scattered crowd, a large team of more than a dozen people burst out of the sky and walked neatly and steadily towards the outside of the school.
In the middle of them, a young man with black satin-clad eyes was wrapped tightly like the stuffing of a dumpling.
Such a huge team immediately attracted the attention of all the surrounding students.
"Actually... I can walk back by myself, really." Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "I can see, but my eyes can't see the light..."
"No need to talk about classmate Lin Qiye!" Jiang Qian interrupted Lin Qiye and said sternly, "We promised your aunt will take good care of you, and we will definitely do it!"
"Yes, Qiye, our homes happen to be in the same direction, so we are all on the same road."
"I'm on my way too."
Lin Qiye:…
To be honest, now he prefers to be the isolated one, staying in the dark for a long time. He is not used to the feeling of being cared about by too many people, which makes him very awkward.
Of course, aunt and Yang Jin don't count because they are his family.
But they were kind-hearted after all, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only helplessly follow the crowd forward.
"I have to turn right at the intersection in front of me, but I can follow you for a while."
"I'm about to turn here. Let's go first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
“…”
As they got further and further away from the school, the classmates surrounding Lin Qiye said goodbye one after another and left. A few minutes later, only five people were left around Lin Qiye.
The originally noisy atmosphere gradually became quieter, and the space suddenly became more abundant. Lin Qiye let out a long sigh of relief.
"You said... will the fog really revive again and swallow up Daxia?" Li Yifei turned around and asked curiously, carrying his bag.
"Didn't you listen to those experts? The probability of the fog resurrecting is very small. Maybe it won't change in the next hundred years. As for what will happen in a hundred years... Anyway, we won't be around by then, so why worry so much?" Jiang Qian turned Rolled his eyes.
"It's not like you don't know that what those experts say is the most unreliable. If we finally get into college and before we can enjoy life, the fog swallows up the entire Great Xia, wouldn't it be a big loss? ?”
"So this is the reason why you are dawdling around every day and not concentrating on studying?" Jiang Qian walked up to Li Yifei and said seriously, "I have to remind you that Teacher Wang has already said that if you get the last grade in this exam, Name, you have to move the table to the edge of the podium."
"I know, I know." Li Yifei said with a smile.
"However, I really don't think the fog can revive again." Wang Shao, who was walking at the front, suddenly said, "In the final analysis, the fog is just a natural phenomenon. After reaching a certain critical level, it will gradually fade away. , just like the Ice Age, when glaciers cover the earth, they will slowly recede as the temperature rises, and a new era will follow."
"I know what you're talking about, it seems to be called the natural disaster theory, right? It's quite popular now." Jiang Qian nodded.
"What if... this fog is not a natural phenomenon?" At this moment, Lin Qiye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Wang Shao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Qiye, you don't really believe the words of those so-called theologians, do you think this fog is related to supernatural powers?"
"We are in the 21st century. We must believe in science. There are not so many gods and ghosts in the world." A classmate named Liu Yuan interjected.
Lin Qiye did not answer. He knew best if there was anything beyond science in this world, but there was no need to tell outsiders about these things.
Li Yifei murmured in a low voice, "I think if those things really existed, the world would be more interesting."
"Why are you talking about so much useless stuff? These things are not what we should care about. Instead of worrying about whether the fog will revive here, it is better to wait until the three-day holiday on Survival Day to get more sleep." Jiang Qian smiled.
"Yes, vacation is the most real thing!"
…
At this moment, the old town of Cangnan City.
A man was carrying a sign, walking calmly on a lonely and dim street. The old street lamps cast dim light, lengthening his back...
He glanced at his phone, walked to a narrow street and stopped.
"That's it..."
He muttered, put down the sign on his shoulder and straightened it.
Under the flickering street lights, the shadow of the notice board flickered, and on the black background, the bright red characters were extremely eye-catching!
-No travel ahead!
The man leaned against the street lamp, lit a cigarette for himself, took a long puff, and turned on the headset.
"Captain, the third sign is in place."
"Copy that, let's get started."
"Um."
The man held a cigarette in his mouth, walked up to the sign, put his thumb on the tip of his teeth, and bit it hard!
A drop of blood overflowed from the wound. The man squatted down and drew a long horizontal line on the four characters "No travel ahead" with his blood-stained thumb!
His eyes condensed, and an inexplicable momentum burst out with him as the center!
He looked up at the black night sky and whispered in a voice that only he could hear...
"Forbidden Ruins, [Wujie Skyspace]."
The next moment, the bright red blood stains on the notice board in front of him quickly faded, as if it had been absorbed, and then, the four big words "No Travel Ahead" flashed in red!
Then gradually return to the original state.
The man sat down on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, and spoke with some complaints.
"Damn, I got ripped off again..."
At this moment, if someone looks down at Cangnan City from the sky, they will find three points of light flashing near the old city. Then, with these three points of light as the vertices, a dark red equilateral triangle is quickly outlined!
At the moment when the triangle was formed, half of the covered old city seemed to have been wiped off the map, gradually disappearing...
However, from the ground, the old town is still the same old town.
At the same time, in the center of the triangle, six black and red cloaks streaked across the sky like lightning!
The leading man looked up at the dark red sky, stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife behind his back, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Operation Ghostface Purge has begun."
