Lingpingan took He Qi and followed the sound towards the factory building that seemed to have been abandoned and collapsed.
Along the way, Lingpingan saw countless collapsed buildings.
The huge cast iron piece fell into the grass.
The rusty machine tools were buried under blocks of concrete, and were already overgrown with weeds.
There are also countless collapsed and abandoned factory buildings stretching in the distance.
Lingpingan even saw a very large parking lot ruins.
Inside, there were bicycles that had long been eroded and weathered, leaving only some wreckage.
You can imagine how prosperous this place was back then!
It is estimated that at least tens of thousands of people work here.
That was more than a hundred years ago.
An industrial park with tens of thousands of workers!
Just abandoned
How determined did the cabinet at that time have to be
What happened here
Lingpingan couldn't help but think.
"Could it be..."
"Has there been a pollution leak here?"
This is the only explanation.
More than a hundred years ago, if we could describe the industry of the Federal Empire in four words, it would be 'unconscionable'.
The science and technology at that time were far less developed than today.
Nowadays, various carcinogens that are recognized as toxic can be added to food and the like as additives openly at that time.
At that time, there was no concept of protection or protection.
There is also a lack of security measures.
Therefore, it is possible that a serious toxic leak occurred here.
After thinking about it this way, Lingpingan felt relieved about many things.
The legend of Cross Slope.
Perhaps, it is a legend that has been deliberately created by the authorities for more than a hundred years.
Because, if the official tells the people: This place is poisonous, don’t come here!
Might work at first.
But soon, as time goes by, ordinary people may continue to pour in, driven by their curiosity.
If this place is rendered as a dangerous place, there are ghosts.
With the deterrence of fear, the problem of outsiders entering at will can be greatly reduced.
After all, compared to the real visible danger.
Most people are more afraid of ghosts, demons and the like.
And, as long as this legend is maintained.
Over time, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
This is where fear will be struck in everyone's heart.
After a hundred years, what was false will become true.
Lingpingan looked at the fireflies that were always surrounding him.
"Perhaps these little things are the victims of the poisonous substances here..."
"A mutated firefly..."
With this thought, he clarified all the logic and relationships.
More than a hundred years ago, a major pollution leak occurred in the Crosspo Industrial Park.
The Imperial Cabinet held an emergency meeting and decided to immediately shut down the entire industrial park and establish a blockade.
At the same time, experts were dispatched to inspect the industrial park.
After the inspection, the experts submitted a professional report.
The report may indicate that harmful substances leaked at this site will remain in groundwater and soil for a long time.
The half-life of this substance may be extremely long.
Therefore, the cabinet researched and formulated the plan of "Legend of the Evil Land".
Taking advantage of people's fear of ghosts, Cross Slope became an urban legend in the imperial capital.
They also used administrative power to deliberately build the area around Cross Slope into a 'funeral industry center'.
Then, the surrounding infrastructure was deliberately indulged.
Let street lights, signals, etc. be interfered with.
In this way, people will naturally stay away from this place.
Officials have solved the problem of toxic pollution without any bloodshed and at extremely low cost.
By the way, he also created a brand new business card for the Imperial City.
These days, if a city doesn’t have famous haunted places and haunted houses, it would be embarrassing to call itself an international metropolis!
Lingpingan, who was immersed in his own reasoning, didn't care about anything in the outside world.
In other words, he doesn't care about everything here.
until…
"Help..." He Qi's scream came.
The members of this poaching group turned around and hid behind Lingpingan.
It's a bit like using Lingpingan as a human shield.
Lingpingan frowned.
He doesn't like such people very much.
But he has no time to care about this now.
Because, in front of him, a man in black robes was swinging his fists and hitting him.
"Go to hell!" the other party shouted.
Lingpingan frowned slightly: "Are today's poaching criminals so bold?"
"You dare to punch in front of me?!"
He raised his brow.
Then he reached out his hand and grabbed it gently.
He grabbed the opponent's fist, then gently used force and threw it over his shoulder.
This was a fighting skill that Lingpingan learned from an instructor during military training when he was in college.
And Lingpingan is a natural divine power.
In all these years, he has never encountered anything he couldn't move.
Whether it's a box or a sack.
It won't be difficult for him to carry it.
Although I haven't tested it specifically how strong I am.
However, dealing with mere thieves is naturally effortless.
This is also true.
Snap.
The other party was lightly thrown by Lingpingan and fell to the ground.
boom!
His head hit the hard ground, making the cement crackle.
Faintly, Lingpingan seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
"It seems like you used too much force!" He scratched his head, feeling a little regretful.
Looking at the guy who was thrown to the ground, he was smashed into pieces.
Lingpingan raised his head and looked forward.
There were about a dozen men in black robes there.
They should be in a group.
So, he asked: "What, where is your ancestor?"
"Call him out!"
Lingpingan felt that he could fight ten now.
Therefore, if that ancestor still wants to resist, he doesn't mind falling.
Legal beating.
feels good!
However, the people opposite him were trembling.
"grown ups… "
A hoarse voice said: "Ancestor, right at your feet..."
Lingpingan was stunned for a moment and looked at the guy at his feet who had been knocked unconscious.
"Is this the leader of this poaching group? The so-called ancestor?" he thought, recalling his feelings just now.
The other person gave him a feeling of peace of mind, like a drug addict who had no control over his body and had taken drugs to destroy his body.
So, with a slight flick, it fell directly to the ground.
"That's it?"
"Have today's criminals transformed into being funny?" He shrugged, looked at those people, and asked, "Do you want to be like your ancestors? Or do you want to surrender?"
Then, he saw a dozen arms raised high.
Sure enough, today's criminals have transformed into funny people!
He sighed and took out his phone with some disappointment.
Dial the already set alarm number.
After a while, the call was connected, and a sweet voice appeared on the phone.
"Hello, Imperial City Alarm Center..."
"Well... Hello..." Lingpingan said: "I want to call the police. I found a criminal group here..."
"Um… "
"no need… "
"Because they have been captured by me!"
"You just need to send someone to receive it quickly..."
"What? Address? Oh... This seems to be some kind of cross slope..."
Snap.
There was an exclamation from the other side of the phone.
Putting down the phone, Lingpingan shook his head and walked forward.
The people holding up their hands, squatting, and wearing black burqas all looked well-behaved.
That is, everyone seemed extremely frightened as he passed by.
Lingpingan walked over and saw several people tied up with ropes in the corner.
"Huh?" Lingpingan shook his head: "There is actually a kidnapping..."
He looked at those people: "You are dead!"
Kidnapping is a felony!
According to federal and imperial laws, kidnappers do not have any legal protection during their crimes.
In other words, anyone can kill him or her without taking any responsibility.
So, Lingpingan walked over and released the victims.
Then, he shook their bodies: "Hey... wake up..."
…
"Hey... wake up..." Chu Wen heard a call while he was sleeping.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah!" he screamed.
In his memory, he remembered that he was caught by the Victory-weary School.
And the people of the Weaning School will never let go of anyone who falls into their hands.
The souls will be extracted and used as raw materials for talismans or consumables for cultivation.
The flesh, blood, muscles and bones will be sold to people in the Witch Gu Cult as feed for cultivating Gu insects.
For most people, if they fall into the hands of the victory-weary school, smart people should quickly find a way to die.
Because, if he doesn't die soon, then the Shengsheng School will let him experience the torture of the most painful and cruel spells in the world before he dies.
It is said that the victory-weary school believes that the best consumables are the souls who suffered extremely much before death.
"never mind… "
A gentle voice came from my ear: "You are safe... I rescued you!"
Chu Wen then opened his eyes uneasily.
Then, he was so frightened that he shivered and his whole body curled up together.
The scene in front of me was really too scary and scary.
Under the moonlight, thick fog surrounded the surroundings, tightly surrounding a small area of about ten square meters.
A huge tiger head poked out from the thick fog and hung over this small area.
On the huge tiger head, there are three huge lantern-like pupils, blooming with an extremely terrifying color.
The ground seemed to have been bombarded by missiles.
Cracks like spider webs extend densely into the distance.
And in the center, a person's limb was smashed onto the hard surface.
The man was smashed to pieces.
Blood and guts and bones, everywhere.
But that's not the scariest thing.
The scariest thing is...
Above the stump, a black tentacle-like thing tightly wrapped around a gray-white soul.
The tentacles curled slowly.
The head is fully open, like a flower bud.
Drops of black sticky liquid dripped from the bud-like mouthparts.
It dripped on the gray-white soul body like nectar.
Every time it dripped, colorless and lightless flames ignited on its soul.
In the fierce flames, it was roasted until it screamed miserably.
A human face, screaming and wailing in pain within the flames.
When the flames gradually extinguished, the soul's already roasted form was scattered and dim.
The next moment...
A drop of golden ** dripped from the bud.
When it falls on the soul body, it is like the legendary rain, causing the body to solidify instantly.
Then, another drop of black sticky liquid fell on the soul body.
Flames rose.
Chu Wen watched and swallowed.
Just watching the wailing and screaming of the soul.
He couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He could imagine that it must be extremely painful and horrific torture.
What's even more terrible is that those weird tentacles have the ability to revive the soul anytime and anywhere.
"Giggle..." Chu Wen's teeth chattered up and down.
He didn't dare to look over there anymore.
Looking up, he saw the figure in front of him.
Young man wearing glasses holding a cat in his hands.
Under the cheap eye sockets, there is a pair of extremely dark eyes.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." The young man said, "The criminals have all been subdued!"
Chu Wen swallowed and took a deep breath to calm down.
He finally thought about why he was here
Looking at the young man in front of him, he also remembered that he was here to find him!
"You..." Chu Wen swallowed hard: "Did you really come to Cross Slope?"
The other party exclaimed: "Do you know me?"
Chu Wen lowered his head: "Young Master..."
"Today in Yanlou, isn't it the cross slope that I proposed to you?"
The other party was surprised: "What about you?"
"I'm worried that you are in danger..." Chu Wen sighed: "I don't think so, I just can't see the mountain!"
At this moment, Chu Wen's heart was already bright.
All things are connected together.
Why did I directly rule out the possibility that he was Mr. X when I met this man in Yanlou today
At the time, he had no idea.
But at this moment, looking at the scene in front of me.
He got it.
It's Mr. X!
He seems to have some kind of incomprehensible realm or magical power.
It directly interferes with people's judgment, causing them to ignore their abnormalities and leading them to another level.
In other words, if he doesn't want others to know his identity.
Then, he has all the legendary characteristics.
Even if it is, show him his photo in advance.
I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize him in person!
There is no solution to this kind of magical power that is directly based on the psychological level and spiritual logic.
so…
Chu Wen immediately stopped thinking about opportunities.
In front of such a person, do you want to just kneel down and lick someone, and just hug him on his lap
What a joke!
Only if he is willing to give it will he have a chance.
Otherwise, even if you stand in front of him, your cognition will be distorted and your thoughts will be tampered with by his magical powers.
And it starts directly from the bottom of the mind.
To be honest, Chu Wen felt that the fact that he was able to save his life this time was probably related to his choice to come here.
otherwise…
He glanced at everything in front of him.
A huge tiger head poked out from the thick fog.
Those three divine eyes were staring closely at the people from the Shengsheng School.
If there is even the slightest movement, the tiger's head will probably be bitten off.
Chew them all up.
As for the man who had been smashed to pieces, even the flesh, blood and internal organs were mixed together, Chu Wen vaguely felt powerful spiritual energy.
General!
A general was beaten to death by Mr. X!
Not only were people killed, but their souls were also captured.
Inflict unimaginable and terrible punishment!
so…
Chu Wen knew that if he had not come to Cross Slope.
Then, he will probably be like that general.
After the physical body was smashed to death, the soul was drawn out.
Tortured again and again, cured again, tortured again.
Compared with the cruelty and terror of this person, the so-called torture of the victory-weary school is as simple and ridiculous as a game played by primary school students.
Thinking of this, Chu Wen lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Master..."
At this time, the people around him also woke up.
They all saw the scene in front of them and were all frightened.
In the distance, the sound of police cars appeared.
Diwu diwu…
For some reason, Chu Wen, who used to hate the interference of the black guards, suddenly looked forward to the arrival of the black guards.
The image of the black-clad guard in his mind also underwent a 180-degree change.
He began to understand the various policies of the Black Guards.
Are the black guards just protecting civilians
No!
They are also protecting all extraordinary beings and aliens!
If you really do things according to the extraordinary people's own ideas.
So…
A low-level transcendent like him would probably become a consumable for a lunatic organization like the Victory-Weary School.
Or, they could be captured and used as humanoid batteries and tools.
Therefore, the fate of people like him may be even worse than that of ordinary people!
"If there are no restrictions on the use of power... it will definitely lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong..."
He thought about the inscription written by Emperor Gaozong at the headquarters of the Black Guards.
In the past, he always thought that he was strong.
But now, he discovered that he was actually weak.
In front of the strong, he is just a green leek, an energetic battery, and a humanoid self-propelled consumable.
so…
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Black Guard to sign up... to be a non-staff member..." he thought.
…
Diwu diwu…
Sitting in the police car, Ning Qinghong looked at the thick fog on both sides.
Her spiritual power can clearly sense that dangers are everywhere in these dense fogs.
Anyone without permission may be mercilessly strangled if they step into the thick fog.
But now, she and her police car were driving through it unimpeded.
She lowered her head, looked at the documents she had prepared, memorized the materials she had just prepared, and then practiced them again.
"Hello... I am Ning Qinghong, Class B Sergeant of the Imperial City Police Department, Beifang Road Branch..."
"Thank you for your contribution to the security of the imperial capital!"
After practicing several times in a row, she felt relieved.
Now, the black-clothed guard has some sufficient knowledge about that person.
Therefore, although she had never met him, Ning Qinghong had already initially sketched out some outlines of that person in her mind.
He is a high-ranking being with mysterious origins.
There are always countless unimaginable slaves and guards around Him, carefully cleaning the surrounding traces for Him at all times.
And He himself has incomprehensible terrifying power!
At the same time, He holds unimaginable knowledge and secrets.
He will do things, consciously or unconsciously, to reward or punish those who come into contact with Him.
so…
"What will I gain from this contact?"
"Reward or punishment?" Ning Qinghong thought.
