At one o'clock in the afternoon, it should be the thickest time of the day, but the area around the square is gloomy. The five newcomers were almost crying with fright, hiding aside and shivering, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
There are pedestrians walking around the square, and there are quite a lot of people coming in and out. Everyone observed for a while, but found nothing unusual, and Chen Changdong walked in first.
Walking behind, Lou Fan saw Chen Shuyang reading a book, and glanced at it curiously. The title of the book on it was - The Most Exorcist Magic in History.
Lou Fan: "Shuyang, what kind of mess are you looking at?"
"Exorcism." Chen Shuyang said: "Wen Lang gave it to me. I found it quite interesting. It said a lot of exorcism spells, and it said that even a single thought would prevent ghosts and ghosts from approaching."
Lou Fan patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Then it will be up to you to meet monsters and goblins."
Chen Shuyang chuckled twice, "Brother Lou, I'm just joking, isn't there no harm in learning more, what if it's useful?"
"It's useless!" Lou Fan patted Chen Shuyang's head, "Don't learn from Wen Lang all day long, he won't be able to catch him. Be careful that your father doesn't even know you."
Wen Lang quit immediately, holding his heart and said, "Brother Lou, you hurt my heart too much by saying that."
Jiang Dong leaned over, "Do you need me to comfort your heart?"
"Fuck!" Wen Lang shrank his shoulders, "Go away, it's too disgusting."
Jiang Dong seemed to have found something interesting, so he posted it again, "Come on, I'm the best at appeasing boys' hearts, Brother Lou, leave it to me."
When Wen Lang heard it, he screamed and hid.
Lou Fan burst out laughing, these two live treasures looked quite interesting.
Chen Shuyang raised his glasses, sighed vicissitudes, "These stupid human beings!" He was stared at by Lou Fan as soon as he said something, and immediately stopped talking, put away the exorcism, and followed along.
Lou Fan said old-fashionedly: "Shuyang, I have high expectations for you. Maybe your book is our first upgraded spiritual weapon. You should work hard and don't learn from Wen Lang, ah."
"Yes, I will definitely live up to Brother Lou's trust in me." Chen Shuyang was full of confidence as if he had been beaten to death.
The crowds in the square were not as deserted as imagined. More people mean that it is more difficult to find someone. Chen Changdong suggested that everyone should separate and familiarize themselves with the environment first. It seems that there is no danger at the moment.
Apart from the people from Laoyemiao Village, this is the first time for the five-member team to come to the spiritual world with so many people. However, they were familiar with the approximate location based on the map drawn by Chen Shuyang before, and now they are going to take a look on the fourth and fifth floors, where accidents often occur.
Chen Changdong took the team members and five newcomers to check the floor plan of the square, and the five team members surrounded him.
The tall Dong Xu said, "Captain, that Qin Tan looks good."
Chen Changdong nodded, "Qin Tan should have a foundation, that Lou Fan is not weak with a bow, you have seen that he has a pet, right? This is the first time I have seen a living thing in Liuli, please pay attention."
Liu Xing interrupted with a smile, "The other three are not weak, captain."
Chen Changdong smiled, "Generally speaking, the quality of this time is good. Looking at their performance, it is best to be recruited into the organization. It has been a long time since I recruited newcomers."
The newcomers followed the six of them, not knowing where they were going. Their task was to survive in the square for twelve days, but it was not easy to survive in this kind of place.
Ma Ming was a little troubled, he didn't know how to arrange them, "Captain, what about the newcomers? You can't always take them with you."
The first floor is the hall, surrounded by booths, and there are four safety exits. After observing for a while, Chen Changdong decided to place the newcomers near a safe exit, so that it would be easier for them to escape if something happened.
The couple's mood had stabilized, and one of the men in a suit organized everyone to sit together, and asked the couple to take out the money on their bodies to buy a backpack, and the remaining money to buy food and water to put in it.
The newlyweds held their backpacks and looked around vigilantly, with the nervousness and panic of suddenly coming to a strange place all on their faces.
Chen Changdong took the team to look at the floor plan of the mall. Liwan Plaza is a circular building with symmetrical sides on both sides. The two ends are connected to the residential area, and the middle is a commercial plaza with many shops and crowds.
Qin Tan went up to the fourth floor five times. This place is like a dividing line, dividing the flow of people below. From the first floor to the fourth floor, I immediately felt a significant change in the aura here. Unlike the flow of people below, few people can be seen on this floor, and people who occasionally pass by are as silent as ghosts. The shop was open, and the boss inside was sitting stiffly, with no expression on his face, only a pair of eyes looking straight at the people who came in, making people feel a chill from the soles of their feet to the back of their heads.
Chen Shuyang rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, muttered something silently, and then said: "Their eyes are too scary, not scary, but panicky."
Although Lou Fan is not afraid of ghosts and the like, he still feels creepy when he sees the expressions made by such people. You think he is human, but his facial expressions and actions are not human, so you can't shoot at him with an arrow. He is from a society ruled by law anyway, and there are still psychological barriers to attacking people like this.
After walking along the circular road, nothing was found. The five of them were going to go up to the fifth floor to have a look. After taking the elevator to the fifth floor, a person stood on the opposite railing and jumped without hesitation...
The five of them watched helplessly as the man flew down.
Boom!
Lou Fan leaned over the railing and glanced down, then retracted immediately, and took advantage of the situation to look opposite.
Qin Tan squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, but found nothing unusual. Someone pulled his sleeves, and Lou Fan whispered in his ear, "Just now I saw a shadow on the opposite side, and it disappeared after a flash. It must be a ghost."
Qin Tan nodded, then turned to Jiang Dong and asked, "Is that person still alive?"
Jiang Dong shook his head, "It can't be saved. Look at his posture, his skull is on the ground, and his cervical spine is broken. It can't be saved."
Qin Tan responded, and said, "Get your weapons, let's go to the other side and have a look."
Several people looked at each other, understood what was going on, and immediately clenched their weapons. Surrounded in the middle, Chen Shuyang was holding the immobilization amulet tightly in his hand, and would tear it to pieces if he was in danger.
As soon as the landing sound sounded, the tenth-level team rushed to the open space in the center of the square. The man fell from a high place and slammed hard on the marble floor of the circular atrium below. Blood spattered everywhere, and the dark red blood flowed all over the floor.
Chen Changdong looked up to the upstairs, Qin Tan was observing, and saw him shaking his head, his chin raised in the direction of the person who fell from the building.
This floor is more gloomy than the fourth floor. There are only a few shops open, and there is no one there. The lights above the head flicker on and off. In the dead space, there are only five people's slight footsteps.
I don't know if it's because of the light, but it seems that there are many shadows moving around, but I can't see clearly. Lou Fan rubbed his eyes, and looked again at the place where the fallen person was standing just now.
A black figure stood there, unable to see his facial features clearly, but Lou Fan could clearly feel that he was smiling at him. Look again, no shadow.
He pursed his lips and didn't tell anyone else. Come out next time and serve directly with an arrow.
Walking to the opposite position, Lou Fan was about to move forward, but Qin Tan had already stepped forward and lay down on the railing to look down.
He shook his head suddenly, feeling in a trance, a voice said: "Go up, jump down, all your troubles are gone... Go up..."
A hand behind him gently pushed him, his hands and feet seemed to be under control, and he lifted up stiffly...
Almost immediately, Lou Fan felt that something was wrong with Qin Tan, without even thinking about it, he raised his bow and pulled it lightly, a spiritual arrow flew towards the back of Qin Tan's head. Before touching Qin Tan, a burst of ripples spread in the air, and the spirit arrow disappeared behind Qin Tan. There was a small puddle of black liquid on the ground behind him.
At the same time, Qin Tan made a backhand knife, as if he was chopping in the air, but he felt a slight resistance - something was cut.
A sharp and short hiss sounded in everyone's ears, which was extremely ear-piercing. An invisible air current flew past the five people, and it was impossible to see what it was.
Lou Fan is very sure that it must be the black shadow he saw just now, and it escaped unsuccessfully.
"Are you alright?" Lou Fan glanced at Qin Tan, and found that there was nothing wrong, he raised his head, "Let's go down first, we'll discuss it with Chen Changdong before coming back."
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Shuyang said, "Brother Lou, I just saw that there is a shop that is different, and there is a yellow talisman pasted there."
"Are you sure?" Lou Fan frowned and asked, "Where is it?"
Chen Shuyang stretched out his hand and pointed at the small half circle they walked by, "I just wanted to see if other shops would tell me more, but I didn't expect to encounter this one, should we go and have a look?"
Lou Fan looked at Qin Tan, "What do you think?"
Qin Tan pondered for a while, "Go down first, don't be the first bird, being targeted is not a good thing."
Lou Fan thought the same way, and the five of them went downstairs together. The elevator stopped at some point, and Wen Lang walked in front of Jiang Dong, feeling terrified. He turned his head and was about to talk to Jiang Dong, when he saw the black figure behind Jiang Dong.
"Burn your head!"
The words fell silent, the poker in his hand flew out, Jiang Dong dodged the poker with a short body, the poker hit something, a puff of black smoke burst out, and then disappeared.
I just said not to be targeted, and then I just left and came again.
Qin Tan immediately said: "Speed up and be careful behind you."
Immediately, the five of them ran down quickly and went down to the third floor. The voices beside their ears made people feel the heat around them. When you look back, there is nothing behind you, only people who come and go.
After meeting Chen Changdong in the atrium downstairs, Qin Tan told about what happened upstairs, focusing on the yellow talisman Chen Shuyang found.
Not long after jumping from the fallen person, Chen Changdong didn't expect that they would encounter a ghost.
"That thing should be very important, but we're afraid we won't be able to deal with it, so I'm here to tell you." Anyway, their mission is to stop the eighth person and find the monk. The evil spirits have nothing to do with them for the time being, and we'll talk about the charge later.
The corpse on the ground was covered by a cloth, surrounded by a large group of NPCs, talking constantly.
"The first one of the month! Died so badly."
"I don't know when it will stop."
"I heard that the boss hired an eminent monk to cast down demons."
