Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 864 Return to the Alleys of Xining, Bloody World Prophecy
When I walked out of the store, it was noon, the sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh.

The main store of Chengxin Restaurant is closed today.

Wang Jing went to the East Street branch to take care of things and check whether everything was prepared properly.

After all, the East Street restaurant is still open for business, and Wang Jing has also found some reliable and capable people, who can at least keep the quality of the restaurant's products at A+ or above.

It is enough to cater to the ordinary diners in East Street.

Of course.

If there are more special guests coming with higher requirements, Wang Jing himself will also go there.

Amid the tinkling sound of wind chimes, Chen Ye walked out of the Chengxin Restaurant, stretched himself, and basked in the sunshine.

There is a lot of traffic and people nearby.

Many players have come out to look for food, intending to see where there is delicious food.

The streets are filled with grilled skewers, and of course the color and appearance are hard to describe. After all, all the things that can be used as food in this world are weird stuff.

But players gradually accepted it all.

after all.

After absorbing the characteristics, the body has undergone great changes. These strange-looking things are not unacceptable, and some are even sold as special delicacies.

There were some players queuing up, but most of those who went to buy street skewers were ordinary-dressed indigenous people.

They lined up, some needed to hold their heads in support, some held oil-paper umbrellas, casting a shadow, as if they were a little afraid of the sun, holding a dozen copper coins in their hands, all of them came to buy street skewers.

In fact, the price of these skewers is not cheap, and it is even higher than the period before the advent.

After all, the players' levels are improving. In the past, five copper coins could buy a life-saving meal, but now everyone has no worries about food and drink, and the profit of a few copper coins is not enough to make ends meet, so of course the price has gone up.

The indigenous people who line up are not from the lower class, but middle class with certain economic capabilities.

But these middle-class people can no longer patronize regular restaurants with physical stores.

After all, there is not much money left in their pockets, and players still have to face high store rents.

For skewers like these, the store would probably have to sell them for at least dozens of copper coins to have enough profit to satisfy the players.

At this moment.

Chen Ye took a step forward and quickly crossed the street where people were shouting, heading quickly towards Longhua Avenue.

After leaving West Street, the flow of people in the vicinity suddenly decreased.

The area is deserted, with only a few "good citizens" passing by occasionally.

Or just sleep under the electric poles.

At the entrance to West Street, there stood two sheriffs, and next to them were statues of the scorching sun.

If there are evil things passing through here, they will be judged to need to be "purified by the scorching sun"...

Then,

There will be a ray of holy light, hitting it immediately!
Purify the corresponding existence directly!

Of course, the judgment mechanism is a bit confusing. It is said that it depends on whether the opponent has a mechanism such as living sacrifice, or whether it can strengthen itself by devouring the opponent's existence...

But if this happens, the [Glutton] will undoubtedly be purified.

It's a bit weird, it really is necessary to obtain survival resources through the method of big fish eating small fish, and become stronger at the same time.

But these big fish don't eat everything.

therefore,

This kind of judgment method may lead to mistaken killing.

Moreover, if they have the ability to use methods such as living sacrifices to strengthen themselves, or transform themselves into something taboo, they will definitely find other intersections to enter West Street.

Therefore, such a judgment model cannot fundamentally guarantee that West Street will not be threatened by the enemy. Powerful entities still have various ways to bypass them. On the contrary, some weak indigenous people are completely deprived of the qualifications to enter West Street.

However, West Street is now intended to be a habitat for players. If it is to be developed in this way, there can be a number of native residents, but they must be high-quality consumers, so that they can feed back economic flow to West Street players.

As for those weaker indigenous people who would attack players, they would of course be isolated outside!
“The scene on West Street is really different from the outside!”

When Chen Ye stood on Longhua Avenue and looked down, he could hardly see any human figures. There were only the ashes of a few undead people placed beside the dilapidated street. They were still shaking constantly. The urns sometimes made slight noises, and after shaking them a few times, he could hear the sound of bones clanging inside.

Looking to the north, a thick cloud of smoke covered the sky above the industrial area.

Under the observation of the [Eye of Luck], the industrial area was suddenly shrouded in a dead black fog, filled with a lot of ominous things. Of course, compared with the initial stage, there were prosperous colored glaze stars distributed in the depths of the black fog, as if as long as you pass through the dead black fog, you can find the shining places of those colored glaze stars.

This is of course due to Chen Ye's increased strength, which enables him to penetrate the black fog, so that the glazed light can appear.

But in the early days, even if you have a lot of spoils, if you don’t have enough strength, going there is no different from seeking death.

Chen Ye did not walk towards the industrial area, but looked towards the small intersection in the south.

Between the ruins of two collapsed shops, there is a deep alley filled with various abandoned carts. Going forward along the road, you will find the Xining alley.

A light blue light stretched along the road.

There is also a glow of colored glaze and gold interwoven throughout the place.

“This place seems to be quite spiritual!”

When Chen Ye returned to the alleys of Xining again, his perspective was different.

He immediately stepped onto a pedestrian path on the side of Longhua Avenue and arrived at a steep iron staircase. Going down, he would reach the bottom of the bridge. Then he would walk along the zebra crossing in front and return to the alley of Xining.

Of course, Chen Ye could actually just use the characteristics of the [Space System] to appear directly at the intersection of the Xining alley.

but.

It's a rare opportunity to revisit an old place, so there's no need to be impatient. Just walk slowly, at the pace of a leisurely stroll in the world, and you will gain a different state of mind.

Chen Ye walked towards the deep alleys of Xining.

The familiar scent in the air seemed to bring back memories of the past.

At this moment, the sound of music suddenly rang out.

The sound was like that of an erhu, but it differed in that it sounded like sawing wood, and it did not have the ethereal and distant feeling that came from afar as the old erhu player had.

But as an expert in using the suona instrument, Chen Ye certainly feels familiar and at ease with similar instruments.

He walked in the direction where the babbling sound came from.

I saw spider webs all around under the beams of a ruined house.

A headless old man in rags was holding a thing that he said was a pipa, but it was actually half broken, and it was hard to tell what kind of instrument it was. He was holding a bowstring similar to a violin, and was pulling it repeatedly. Although the sound was unbearable, the level was about the same as when Chen Ye first came into contact with the suona.

However, it can be heard that the person playing the music has a certain level of music theory. After all, such an unpleasant tone is more due to the instrument rather than the level of the musician.

But the musicians are still knowledgeable about music theory, at least what they play is in accordance with the musical scale and very accurate.

at this time.

The headless monk suddenly began to sing:
"Without a father or mother, there is no law or discipline, but those who commit crimes will be protected by God!"

After singing, the headless monk suddenly turned into a black wind, fled towards the northwest, and disappeared.

Chen Ye stopped and came to the original position of the headless monk, only to find a dried parchment scroll there.

When he opened it, Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

In that scroll, there was the Blood Gate World!
however.

This world of blood gate is different from what he saw at the beginning.

But it's even more chaotic!
The black sun in the sky split into countless tentacles, extending towards the ground.

Countless believers wearing tattered clothes, with broken bodies, missing arms and legs, kneeling in a pool of blood, yet they were like some kind of devout believers, raising their arms high, embracing the dark sun above, as if welcoming the advent and arrival of some great existence.

"Blood Gate World... Is this blueprint a prophecy?"

Chen Ye sensed an ancient breath from this wind-dried sheepskin scroll, as if this scroll had existed long ago.

The aura is even older than that of the Blood Gate world!
It is inferred from this that

Since the contents of the parchment scroll have not yet happened in the Blood Gate world, it is enough to show that this scroll is a prophecy, predicting the coming of the end of the world.

After all, the scene in this scene gives people a feeling of endless despair.

therefore.

Only when the creator creates this picture in a prophetic and warning way can it bring such a feeling overall.

"I think my thinking is becoming more and more like a detective's!"

This thought made Chen Ye smile slightly. After all, he did not use his own characteristics, or some more special powers, to make judgments.

Instead, you can get the answer by deducing based on the details of these things.

but,

The exclusive talent [Infinite Deduction] unlocked this month has a similar function to that of a detective, but the scope of deduction is wider.

After unlocking this ability, Chen Ye also felt that his thinking ability had been greatly improved.

The most intuitive thing is the improvement in computing power.

At present, Chen Ye’s spiritual energy can support this kind of computing power. In this way, his thinking speed will become very fast. It seems that he does not need to think too much about many things, and he can already know the relevant answers in his mind.

"I don't know who that headless old man is. He actually took out this kind of prophetic book..."

Chen Ye put away the parchment scroll, even though it was not a special item.

Moreover, Chen Ye has already recognized that the parchment scroll is a replica, but the information inside is real and was copied from the original.

only……

The prophecy above seems to have an unknown power. Even if it is copied, it still requires extraordinary materials to carry the power of this prophecy.

The method of judgment is also very simple.

Chen Ye's spirituality can now capture deeper things. He only needs to take a quick look, perceive more, and observe carefully, and the relevant answers and some information will automatically emerge in his mind.

only……

What Chen Ye didn’t understand was why this headless old man would be waiting for him in this place?
With the exclusive talent of [Blood Letter Research], it seems that I cannot see what the occupation and identity of the headless old man is.

"Is it not an existence that belongs to the strange era?"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and realized some key points.

If this old man is not a member of the strange era system...

There are only a few possible origins!
Either that or it comes from the spirit world;

Or, it comes from the Blood Gate World!
The content painted on this page of parchment is the scene of the Blood Gate world.

Let me ask you, what kind of existence would know the prophecy of the Blood Gate world?

The answer, of course, is an existence that is closely related to the Blood Gate!
therefore,

Chen Ye guessed that this headless old man was most likely from the Blood Gate World.

But why did the other party keep this prophecy just for himself?
The answer is not clear yet...

Chen Ye first put the parchment scroll into the space ring of [Infinite City].

"It's a treasure anyway. At least it has some value. Maybe it will be useful to keep it."

As for the headless old man, what his identity is in the bloody world is unknown.

"However, the other party stayed here on purpose. Did he already anticipate that I would come back?" Chen Ye thought to himself.

If that's the case, then maybe something has changed in Xining Alley...

Chen Ye opened the [Eye of Luck] and saw a dark golden glow flowing deep in the alley of Xining.

This kind of luck aura is different from the gold of destiny. Instead, it may be that there is some powerful existence guarding this place, or even planning something...

Combined with the headless old man, he appeared here...

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and started [Blood Word Research], intending to see if it could give him any hints.

With Chen Ye's spiritual power, he dived slightly and communicated with the exclusive talent of [Blood Word Research]...

Soon, in the void, rows of strange blood-red mosquitoes began to wriggle, and gradually formed a few words on the retina -

[Without a father or mother, there is no law or discipline, but those who commit evil will be protected by God! ]

[The merchant woman knows not the sorrow of losing her country, she still sings the song of Houtinghua across the river! ]

[Who knows whether this situation is a blessing or a curse? Only fate comes and goes! ]

At the moment when these three sentences faded away, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the depths of the alley in Xining.

"The Emperor, by order of Heaven, declares that the Queen Mother of the West has arrived. Please welcome her immediately!"
