Words:1988Update:22/06/22 09:21:11
It was early in the morning. Henricqal's Whitecard District.
The streets were still bustling with people. People with a rich nightlife walked in a hurry. No one wanted to stay outside in the wee hours of the morning.
The air was cold, and there was a hint of the aroma of fried meat. Hao Ren had no idea where the smell came from.
Lin Sheng tightened his trench coat, covered his face under the hat, and walked quickly toward a ten-story building in front of him.
The top of the building was lit with a huge neon light, and a line of blue words flowed slowly.
"Tomorrow's happiness, today's hope, yesterday's forgotten."
There were white searchlights on both sides of the building sweeping toward the sky. The signboard of the Garter supermarket chain shone over, and the surface of the building was dyed in a pale red.
Lin Sheng reached out his right hand, and his fingertips felt the cold air outside. It gave him a jolt, and he became a little more clear-headed.
He had just consumed his spare soul power and converted it all into the boiling Crag Dragon blood in his body. Lin Sheng had not calmed down from the blood-boiling state.
He looked up slightly and walked toward the locked entrance of the building.
There was a camera on the top right of the entrance. There was a soft bang.
The camera suddenly broke, and a green light flashed on its surface.
Lin Sheng retracted the released dark power threads and pressed his hand on the closed high-strength glass door.
* Click. *
The door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dark entrance inside.
Looking in from the entrance, there was a row of flashing red elevators on the left side of the hall on the first floor. On the right side, there was an empty white service desk.
In the middle of the hall, there was a circular pillar. There was a hole inside the pillar, and some black vase like decorations were placed inside.
There were also pieces of white flyers on the ground, rolled up and slid by the wind.
Lin Sheng slowly walked through the glass door, glanced around, and did not sense any monsters.
He did not continue to use the elevator. Instead, he went out from the safety passage and went up the stairwell.
The walls of the stairwell were painted with strange blood-red symbols.
Some looked like scribbles, some looked like letters, and some were ghost faces with weird smiles, and some were deformed cartoon monsters.
Under the green emergency night light, the marks on the wall looked like they were written in blood, and some were scary.
Lin Sheng walked up the stairs step by step.
The liquid handrail was even covered in rust, and the floor was covered in a liquid that was unknown whether it was blood or paint.
According to the memories of the monsters he absorbed, this building was the lair of the Sect of Thousand Graces in this area.
Therefore, if he wanted to obtain more soul power, going straight to this place was the simplest way.
From his memories, Lin Sheng already had a good understanding of this building. He had a rough idea of the distribution of personnel and even the approximate level of strength.
Every single person in this building had left an unforgettable impression in the memories of those monsters.
This was especially so since the people here did not put up any defenses against the monsters at all. They did not even bother to conceal their conversations. He even allowed them to float around.
Perhaps they couldn't see the strange man, or perhaps they thought that the strange man wouldn't leak the secret. But no matter which one it was …
This made it easier for Lin Sheng to gather information. After all, no one would have thought that he could absorb a large number of memory fragments from the souls of the monsters.
"Go and check."
Lin Sheng slowly walked up and stood in front of the safety passage on the second floor.
Whoosh!
Black smoke automatically floated out from his side and formed into a vault guard.
"Yes."
The guard lowered his head slightly and quietly pulled out his sword and shield, then walked into the second floor.
Lin Sheng paused for a moment, then followed.
"The first floor is used for reception and disguise. It's filled with ordinary people. Only from the second floor onwards is the breeding floor. The place to breed the shadows … "
Lin Sheng slowly followed the vault guard. His body once again emitted black smoke.
The black smoke landed on the ground and turned into several vault guards. Without a word, they picked up their swords and shields and spread out to check.
"No, they can't see those monsters." Lin Sheng suddenly frowned. He looked straight ahead.
There was a young woman in a white dress standing quietly in the corner. The two vault guards beside her ignored her and brushed past her.
The woman had a head of long, silky hair. Her body was thin, and her hair covered most of her face. Only her pale, pointed chin could be seen.
Lin Sheng had an idea. All the vault guards turned into black smoke and investigated the building even more stealthily.
As for himself, he carefully examined the area ahead.
Whoosh.
When he passed by the woman, he did not wait for her to scream. His right arm shot out like lightning and pressed on her shoulder.
A spot of white light like an electric arc flowed around the woman's body and disappeared.
The woman dispersed and turned into gray light spots before disappearing, leaving behind a black line that flew into Lin Sheng's chest.
Lin Sheng's expression did not change. He continued to check other parts of the floor.
This was the base of the Sect of Thousand Graces. According to the monster's memory, there should be a large number of shadows being bred here. There might even be special shadow monsters.
As he walked, he passed through a few office areas. Although he killed a few monsters, the number was far from what he had expected.
There were no monsters on the second floor. Lin Sheng continued to the third floor.
The third floor was also empty.
He then went to the fourth floor. The fifth floor …
As he sped up, Lin Sheng encountered more and more monsters. He only reached the fifteenth floor of the building.
He had only killed over thirty monsters in total.
The dungeon guards did not find anyone alive here, not even the security guards on duty.
The sky slowly brightened.
Lin Sheng did not want to give up. He continued to check from top to bottom.
…
…
The hall on the first floor.
There were eight black vase decorations in the central pillar. The moment Lin Sheng walked into the safety passage, they lit up with a faint blue light.
Strangely, the blue light did not seem to exist in the dark hall. It did not illuminate the area around the vase.
The eight vases were like living creatures. The patterns on the vases flowed slowly.
If someone used a magnifying glass to take a closer look, they would see that these patterns were formed by thousands of small white people.
If someone zoomed in on these small white people, they would see that they were all dressed in white. Their faces were those of the ordinary people who had gone missing in the city.
Among these ordinary people, some had gone missing in recent years. Some had gone missing even earlier.
There were even some whose origins were unknown. They seemed to have existed in these vases since the beginning.
These white people of unknown origin made up ninety percent of the vases.
They were expressionless. Their skin was pale. They were dressed in white like cloaks. They were lined up.
Some of them even had hairstyles from a long time ago. No one knew what era they were from.
The sea of little white people were like souls trapped in a vase. They formed white lines, and the lines formed white eyes.
These eyes stared at the direction Lin Sheng left. The corners of their eyes curved slightly. They silently dispersed and returned to their original state.
