Ling Ping'an was swimming in a wonderful fantasy world, unaware of the passage of time.
When he raised his head, the clock on the wall was already pointing at ten o'clock.
"Time flies!" He smacked his lips.
"It's just that this author writes so slowly!"
"He finished reading it in two or three hours..."
He got up and stretched. Ling Ping'an took the cup, walked to the water dispenser, and made a cup of fragrant tea.
Then, he took the tea, sat at the counter, and drank it happily.
Meow!
At the corner of the counter, the kitten that seemed to have slept smelled the fragrance and meowed at Ling Ping'an.
"You want to drink too?" Ling Ping'an scratched his head. He didn't quite understand why a cat would drink tea?
"Okay, okay..." Looking at the pitiful kitten, Ling Ping'an's heart softened a little. So, he took out a disposable cup and gave it half of it.
The kitten immediately put its head into the cup, stuck out its little pink tongue, and began to suck happily.
… …
Situ He parked the car at the corner of the street.
Through the car window, he could see that the shops on the street not far away were closing one by one.
It was already past ten o'clock.
According to the investigation, most of the shops on that street were hardware stores or breakfast shops.
Therefore, it was normal for them to close at this time.
When all the shops on the street closed their doors one after another.
In his sight, only the street lamps were left, illuminating the road.
It was quiet, very quiet.
"As expected..." Zhang Hui, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, observed through the rearview mirror, "Something's wrong!"
The street in front of him seemed to be very normal.
However, Zhang Hui took out a bottle of potion and dripped it into his eyes.
When he looked at everything again, it was completely different.
That street became distorted in his eyes.
The quiet road, the illuminated street lamps, and the tightly closed shops.
It was as if they were stickers stuck on the page of a book.
However, in the eyes of the world, they were incomparably real.
Zhang Hui didn't know if this was deliberately done by the person who was entrenched in the bookstore.
Or was it distorted by the psionic power that he had unintentionally dispersed.
But no matter what, Zhang Hui knew that he was about to face an existence that was far beyond his imagination.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Commander-in-chief!" After the call was connected, Zhang Hui calmly reported, "I have reached the periphery of the target..."
"Yes, I've already used the potion you made …"
"Based on our current observations, I believe that the situation is even more extreme than we imagined!"
"He distorted space. Perhaps even time has been confused by him …"
"This is an unprecedented discovery!"
The Blackguard had encountered a similar situation before.
That was on Mount Li.
The underground palace of Emperor Qin's mausoleum.
Space was twisted and severed by a terrifying power.
Those who stepped into it would unknowingly appear thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.
In the end, the Commander-in-Chief personally entered Mount Li to settle the matter.
Zhang Hui knew that the Commander in Chief had even been injured that time.
Of course, the abnormality of Mount Li disappeared because of this.
The power that could distort space was temporarily suppressed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hui said calmly, "I wish to enter the fog with General Situ …"
"Let's go meet that person …"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I will be cautious!"
"According to General Situ's report, as long as we don't violate his rules, we won't be in too much danger!"
"Okay …" Zhang Hui hung up the phone.
Then, he turned to Situ He and said, "General, do you still remember how you entered the fog last night?"
Situ He nodded.
"That's good!" Zhang Hui said, "Thank you, General …"
Thus, the two of them pushed open the car door and walked out.
They walked all the way to the side of the street.
Situ He immediately formed a seal. "The Star on the Supreme Altar is ever-changing, exorcising evil and binding demons, breaking barriers and seeing evil!"
He pressed his hands on the ground, and two yin-yang fishes appeared on the ground.
However …
There was no reaction from the street in front of them.
Seeing this, Situ He quickly cast another spell. "The Star on the Supreme Altar is ever-changing, exorcising evil and binding demons, breaking barriers and seeing evil!"
This time, he took a deep breath before pressing his hands on the ground.
The yin-yang fishes that appeared on the ground were much larger than before.
But …
There was still no reaction.
"There's no need to try anymore!" Zhang Hui stopped Situ He, who was about to cast the spell for the third time. He looked at the street in front of him. The shops were like oil paintings that were stuck on the surface of the world.
Under the street lamps that illuminated the road, they looked like they had been casually drawn by a child.
"Obviously …" Zhang Hui said, "General Situ was able to enter last time because the owner of this place didn't guard against your Barrier Breaking Spell …"
"But now …"
The same trick couldn't work a second time!
If that was the case …
Zhang Hui frowned.
If he couldn't even see the other person's face, how could he talk about contact?
Could it be that he had to come during the day?
Zhang Hui thought.
He had a premonition that meeting him during the day and meeting him at night might have two different results.
"Try this …" Situ He took out a flashlight.
It was the flashlight that he had begged for last night.
He turned on the switch of the flashlight, and a ray of light shone forward.
Everything in front of him suddenly became hazy.
It was as if a door had been opened, or as if a guest had pressed the doorbell at the door, and then the host said, "Please come in!"
Fog, endless fog, appeared in front of him.
"General, please take good care of your flashlight!" Zhang Hui said seriously.
That was the key, and it was probably also the pass.
"I understand!" Situ He nodded.
"Let's go!" Zhang Hui took a deep breath and walked into the fog. Situ He followed.
… …
Hiss!
As soon as he stepped into the fog, Zhang Hui immediately noticed something unusual.
His perception had been compressed.
And the moment he entered, he was completely restricted.
What was worse was that his psionic sense had also been completely locked.
This meant that in this fog, he had become an ordinary person.
At this time, as long as a few hooligans came, they would be able to knock down him, a famous expert of the Blackguard and a lieutenant general who protected the safety of the Imperial Palace.
Moreover, the fog didn't just lock his magic power.
It also obscured and blocked his line of sight.
So much so that he couldn't even tell the direction now.
Fortunately, at this moment, the light of a flashlight shone on his body.
"Sir!" Situ He walked to his side. "Please follow me!"
The flashlight shone forward, and the fog thinned a little.
He could finally see the road ahead clearly.
Zhang Hui looked into the distance and saw a flickering light swaying in the distance in the fog.
That was the place where Situ He had been last night.
A place suspected to be the residence of an ancient god.
According to Situ He's report, he had encountered unprecedented danger there and also obtained a magical book, Souls and Spirits.
