Following Director Li's lead, Wang Ling took the fire escape from the thirtieth floor directly to the rooftop of the hospital.
The rooftop was very spacious, and there were many fitness facilities. There was a thick iron fence around the rooftop, which was as tall as several people. This was to prevent patients from jumping off the building. The patients in the hospital usually had one to two hours to relax on the rooftop. Just a few years ago, there were a few cases of mental patients jumping off buildings during the release period.
If this matter had to be traced back to the Gate Between Worlds six years ago, there were actually many signs before the Gate Between Worlds descended, such as the abnormal reactions of various animals, but these did not attract people's attention. Ever since the advent of the Spirit Energy Information Era, things like natural disasters could be detected a few days in advance using scientific instruments.
However, the days before the Gate Between Worlds descended could be said to be completely calm and tranquil. Everything looked too normal. There wasn't even a haze in the sky. Some people found their cats and dogs barking, but in the end, they just beat them up with their slippers …
The day before the Gate Between Worlds descended, a few mental patients who were on the rooftop of the Second Hospital suddenly revealed horrified expressions and started to laugh crazily, just like how it was written in a script …
At the same time, all the patients rushed forward crazily. Finally, they rushed out of the rooftop and made a leap of faith.
After the incident was over, according to the analysis of some experts, mental patients were much more sensitive to the fluctuations of the Gate Between Worlds than normal people! And it was precisely because of this that these patients on the rooftop had such an extreme reaction.
At this point, people completely believed in the old saying — mental patients have a wide range of thinking!
…
…
It had been a long time since the descent of the Gate Between Worlds six years ago.
But standing on this rooftop at this moment, Wang Ling still couldn't forget the shock of watching the surveillance footage of this rooftop in the news when he was a child, and how the mental patients had jumped off like crazy.
Wang Ling actually felt that this incident had left a huge psychological shadow on him. Of course, having a high realm was one thing, but having a strong spiritual foundation was another.
After all, he had only been ten years old back then …
So in various ways, Wang Ling actually quite admired Father and Mother Wang for educating him spiritually.
At the age of sixteen, many people had yet to develop their worldview and were still in the stage of confusion. Xiao Yuncheng, who ate the fruit and thought that he had obtained power, lost himself. This was the best example.
He didn't think he was very mature, and sometimes did rather childish things, but he was very proud of one thing: he felt that his three views were more upright than many of his peers.
Thus, he had always felt that it was unfair to compare him with cultivators who had truly reached the limits of their realms one step at a time. He still had a lot to learn. Father and Mother Wang had given him a good foundation for building up his soul since he was young, and he needed to explore the rest on his own …
Some people had lived most of their lives without understanding the meaning and beauty of life.
Wang Ling had always felt that there was a meaning to his innate realm, which was something he had always been looking for in his daily life.
What is daily life?
Wang Ling felt that there was a classic line: "Perhaps every day we live through is a series of miracles …"
Well, back to the topic at hand.
Director Li naturally had his reasons for bringing Wang Ling to the rooftop.
To be honest, when he had stepped into the building, Wang Ling had vaguely sensed some unusual fluctuations, and was very certain that they were coming from the hospital rooftop.
Seeing Wang Ling's slightly frown and pensive expression, Director Li nodded. "It seems shifu's judgment is completely correct." When Immortal Toya had arrived at the hospital earlier, he had clearly sensed something unusual, but it hadn't been as precise as Wang Ling's.
Someone had already tampered with this place.
Wang Ling walked to the center of the rooftop and looked down at his feet.
An invisible magic array of unknown function had been set up here, and the technique used was quite brilliant.
At the very least, among all the magic arrays Wang Ling had encountered so far, this was one of the top three.
In the history of cultivation, there had been many famous array masters, such as the legendary Immortal Zhenyuan. More recently, Immortal She Pi's array technique was second to none.
Wang Ling crouched down and touched the ground. He tried to send spirit energy deep into the ground to disintegrate this array, but failed. The spirit energy was like a clay ox disappearing into the sea as it didn't have the slightest effect.
Breaking an array was like dismantling a bomb; it was a skill.
You had to start from the structure of the array itself, decode it, analyze it, and finally break it. You just had to find the core array pattern and destroy it. But the difficulty Wang Ling had now was that this array was invisible and heavily guarded. It wasn't that he couldn't break it, but that it would take some time.
Hm, very troublesome …
At this point, it would be great if there was an array expert.
Wang Ling thought.
At the very least, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from the corridor behind him.
Who was it?
Wang Ling turned his head to look.
Director Li was startled by Wang Ling's reaction … when he turned his head, he saw a very sunny teenager in sportswear slowly walking over.
Director Li instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He had forgotten to lock the door to the rooftop just now, and hadn't expected someone to actually come at this time without him noticing at all! This person's aura was too faint, and completely out of proportion with his sunny appearance, which gave Director Li the feeling that there was something sinister about him to the bone.
"Who are you? This isn't a place you should be. "Director Li stared at the newcomer.
Fang Xing emerged from the shadows and raised his hands with a wide smile on his face. "Senior Immortal Toya sent me here to take a look at the situation."
"One of our own?" Director Li raised an eyebrow.
"I'm Fang Xing, I just joined the chat group. Director Li may not have seen me before. "Fang Xing gave his trademark smile.
Wang Ling felt that the biggest characteristic of Fang Xing's smile was that it looked very sunny. Furthermore, every time he smiled, the curve of his lips was exactly the same. It was hard to tell whether it was a real smile or a fake one.
"So you're Brother Fang Xing." Director Li heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Fang Xing's name.
Although he had never seen Fang Xing before, he had heard a few things from his shifu, Immortal Toya. Fang Xing had contributed greatly to the arrest of the Master of Immortal Mansion previously, and was very strong.
Of course, that was all Director Li knew. After the Immortal Mansion incident, everyone who had been involved in the matter had agreed to never mention Fang Xing's true identity again.
Wang Ling never thought that Fang Xing would actually come here …
"The one in the mask in front is Classmate Wang Ling, right?"
Fang Xing smiled. "This disguise is too bad. Next time, Classmate Wang Ling should wear sunglasses, otherwise I'll be able to see through your eyes!"
Wang Ling: "…"
Director Li: "Ling Zhenren discovered an invisible array here, but it seems that it's a little troublesome to crack. Since Brother Fang Xing is here, how about we help guard Ling Zhenren together?"
"An invisible array?"
Fang Xing rubbed his chin. "I've done some research on arrays, how about I take a look at it? Actually, I'm an array master. "
Director Li: "Brother Fang Xing, you've done some research on arrays?"
Fang Xing grinned. "That's right, my dad dabbled in this, so I inherited some of it."
Hearing this, Wang Ling abruptly dropped his forehead into his hand as he remembered that Fang Xing was Immortal She Pi's son.
If Fang Xing hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it …
Previously, he had said that it would be best if an array master came, but he hadn't expected one to actually appear.
