Within the white mist.
Tyne's ancient town was overgrown with weeds and vines.
The dense vegetation had wiped away all traces of human life in the town, leaving only the houses and streets covered in greenery.
The entire town was like a giant oval, and while it was a little irregular, the overall shape of the oval could still be seen clearly.
Lin Sheng and Kasumi stood on the grass in the distance, looking at the quiet and desolate town. For a moment there was no movement.
Ever since they got off the plane, they had been heading towards the direction indicated by the satellite map.
They had thought that this place was locked down, and entering and exiting would be troublesome, and would require a lot of applications.
But now it seemed …
"Where are the Asterism and Moon Basin elites that locked down this place?" Lin Sheng was puzzled, as he squatted down and gently picked up a handful of soil.
The soil was yellowish brown, and dry like powder.
Even on this muddy ground, there was still dense green moss, as well as weeds and shrubs of various sizes.
Lin Sheng squeezed lightly, and the soil crumbled into pieces.
He looked at Kasumi.
"Found anything?"
"No." Kasumi's answer was decisive. "I'm a Palatinate, not an Almighty. Other than cutting people down, I don't know anything else. "
Lin Sheng was speechless. This was the drawback of infusing too few memory fragments. If the real Kasumi with a complete memory and soul stood before him. She would never know nothing.
After all, she was an old monster that had lived for god knows how many years on her own.
"What do you want here?" Kasumi took the initiative to ask for the first time. She was Lin Sheng, but Lin Sheng was not her.
Lin Sheng was the main body, and could understand her thoughts, but she could not reverse it.
"I'm here to see how strong you are." Lin Sheng said calmly. "If you go all out, can you finish off this town in front of you?"
"If this was a normal town, it would be easy. One move and it would be over. But this place is not normal. "Kasumi said honestly.
"You can't?"
"I don't know if I can. I don't even know how strong or weak my opponent is before I fight them." Kasumi grinned as she explained.
"Alright. Let's go in and take a look. "Lin Sheng didn't dare to act recklessly, in case it caused too much trouble.
After all, be it the Sevenlocks Tower or the Three Mysterious Realms, he was not the only one who had Palatinates.
With that, Kasumi took the initiative to lead the way to the abandoned town. Lin Sheng followed closely behind.
The two of them were dressed in gray sportswear, which made them look like a couple's outfit.
Along the way, Lin Sheng took out his phone and sent a message to the university, asking Cainphas, a senior executive of Baine University, to negotiate with the Astral Basin to ensure the safety of their people stationed here.
Not long after, about ten minutes later, the other side called.
"The situation is a little troublesome. We can't get in touch with the blockade troops over there! "Cainphas sounded rather grim over the phone.
"What do you mean? You can't even contact a single person? "Lin Sheng was also a little stunned. Before he came here, he had specially investigated the information.
There were at least a thousand people stationed here before the blockade.
With so many people here, they should at least make a sound, right?
"I can't get in touch with anyone! All phones, all internet methods are showing no signal! "Cainphas said in a low voice. "I suspect that something has gone wrong there."
"It doesn't matter if there's a problem or not. I need a detailed record of the town here. "Lin Sheng had just arrived here, and was completely clueless. It would be great if there was a historical record.
"That's easy. I can find it with my clearance. Hold on, I'll send it to you right away. "
This was a serious matter, and Cainphas did not dare to delay. He quickly logged in with his clearance account and quickly sent over all the information that Lin Sheng needed.
"… The specific situation happened three days ago, and it was also then that we started to find some clues." Cainphas said solemnly. "The phone couldn't get through, and the elites we sent over did not respond. But after a long time, the phone did get through. But once the call was made, there was no sound at all, only the noise of the phone. "
Lin Sheng looked at Kasumi. Was this not good? The bigger the trouble, the more it proved that Kasumi was powerful.
"Also, why are you asking about this town's information?" Cainphas was puzzled.
"Nothing, just asking." Lin Sheng smiled.
"You're just asking casually, but you've helped the Moon Basin quite a bit. If not for you asking me to apply for information from the Moon Basin, they would not have found out that there was a problem with the lockdown team. "
Cainphas sighed.
"That's enough. Continue with what you were doing." Lin Sheng hung up.
At this range, the phone's signal began to weaken.
It was just a normal white mist, but the phone's signal had dropped from four bars to one, and was about to be completely cut off.
"Something's not right!" Kasumi suddenly raised her hand to stop Lin Sheng. The two stopped where they were, motionless.
"What is it?" Lin Sheng linked his thoughts with Kasumi's without hesitation.
While he was asking, he already knew what Kasumi was thinking.
Someone was approaching!
The two were about a hundred meters away from the real buildings of the town.
They were surrounded by thick grass and bushes, and some abandoned public facilities could be seen.
Like benches, fountains, and statues.
"This place seems to be a park? A park in the suburbs? There are still people around? "Lin Sheng looked around and quickly came to a conclusion.
He took one last look at the phone's signal and chose to turn it off.
In truth, when the phone was not turned off, it would continuously send out signals as a location.
Every once in a while, the location would be repeated.
If one was not careful, this was actually a way to expose oneself, so it had to be stopped.
After the phone was turned off. The two stood quietly in the mist, looking at the blurry buildings and town in front of them.
"There really are people?" Lin Sheng asked in his mind.
"Yes. Look up, to your right, the window on the second floor!" Kasumi's reply was straightforward.
Lin Sheng looked up, and looked in the direction she said.
It was a corridor between two buildings.
Beside the corridor window, one of the windows had no glass, and was swaying in the wind.
The wooden frame of the window swayed with a faint creaking sound, mixed with the wind blowing through the bushes, making it difficult to hear anything else.
Lin Sheng did not see anything at first.
But as he focused, he paid close attention. He immediately found the problem.
Behind the wooden frame of the window, there was a blurry white figure.
The figure seemed to be looking at him as well. The mist was so thick that it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but Lin Sheng could feel the chill in the other's eyes even from a distance away.
"How powerful is that person?" He asked in his mind.
Kasumi shook her head.
"I don't know. My detection skills are not good. I can only sense that person's malice. "
"Let's go take a look?" Lin Sheng was different now. With Kasumi leading the team, he did not mind taking the initiative.
With the Blacktide surging, if he did not take the initiative to grasp some secrets and situation, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity when the situation worsens.
Recalling the ruins in his dream, Lin Sheng knew better than anyone what the Blacktide represented.
