I have a city in another world

The turbulent outside world seemed to have no effect on the hotel, making it a unique paradise.

However, the increasingly frequent reconnaissance was enough to prove that the external situation was quite severe, especially as the date of the operation approached.

Recently, both the legitimate and criminal worlds have been extremely busy searching for information related to the mysterious employer.

Such a major event happening on their own turf has left them feeling uneasy and unable to eat or sleep.

Therefore, they tried every means and used all sorts of methods to try to obtain useful clues.

The entire city was thoroughly searched, leaving no corner untouched, and no suspicious location was overlooked.

They even used esoteric methods such as divination and astrology to help with investigations and evidence collection.

Even so, there was still not much to gain.

This mysterious employer seemed to appear out of thin air, but quickly disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, it can be determined that the other party is not a local resident, but a powerful outsider.

An unknown outsider cultivator dares to be so arrogant; he truly doesn't take the local bullies seriously.

Cultivators and organizations that initially disliked each other and had conflicts of interest quickly began to cooperate and share information.

This collaboration greatly improved the efficiency of the operation, and one area after another was eliminated.

The remaining areas will be explored by various parties, with personnel from different organizations working together to avoid any oversights or deception.

The family-run inn outside the city thus came into the public eye.

Having checked the hotel several times before without finding anything unusual, I didn't pay much attention to it.

However, it was later discovered that some of the explorers did not return and their whereabouts were unknown.

In this chaotic situation, the disappearance of a few people is a minor matter; in fact, in recent days, related cases have reached an explosive level.

Neither the authorities nor the various organizations had time to conduct a detailed investigation, as there were more important things to do.

However, some things, once given excessive attention, will reveal all sorts of details.

According to the intelligence, this is an old shop run by a husband and wife, which does raise many suspicions.

When information from multiple investigations is compiled and analyzed, the content becomes quite chaotic.

The investigators' reports contained inconsistent descriptions of the hotel, and even many inconsistencies.

It gives the impression that they didn't go to the same store, otherwise there wouldn't be such a serious discrepancy.

This situation is very unusual and must be investigated immediately.

Upon discovering the anomaly, all parties immediately dispatched personnel to conduct a follow-up investigation at the inn outside the city.

With less than a day remaining until the agreed-upon date with the mysterious employer, everyone had to race against time.

The small hotel outside the city suddenly became lively as more than a dozen transport trucks sped over.

A large number of armed men appeared near the hotel, making no attempt to conceal their intentions.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people went directly into the hotel to see what had happened.

Their aggressive demeanor clearly indicated something was amiss, and it was obvious that the hotel's location had been exposed.

The mercenary squad members couldn't help but feel a sense of dread, yet they all prepared for battle.

Since becoming a mercenary, this was the first time I had faced so many ferocious enemies, so it was only natural that I felt panicked and uneasy.

However, mercenary squads cannot fire unless ordered by their employer to engage the enemy.

Faced with this critical situation, the elves did not panic, but silently armed themselves.

Yves has disappeared without a trace; we don't know where he went. "Don't panic, everyone."

The female elf Ashe appeared before the crowd, with a calm demeanor, like an elegant queen.

The unusual cane in her hand attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the shape of this walking stick, it looks a lot like a rolling pin from a hotel, but its texture is exceptionally smooth and has a thick, delicate patina on it.

The upper part of the wood has also sprouted branches, and the tender green leaves are like jade carvings.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ashe chanted incantations, seemingly controlling something.

A shocking thing happened: a giant, disc-shaped rainbow appeared in the sky, with a deep, dark vortex in the center, leading to an unknown destination.

Colorful specks of light continuously fell from the sky, landing on the flowers, plants, and trees surrounding the inn.

A shocking scene unfolded: after the plants and trees absorbed the light, they grew at an extremely rapid pace and exhibited obvious mutations.

It grows taller and produces many beautiful flowers with an incredibly rich fragrance that makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.

In a short time, the area around the hotel was transformed into a sea of ​​flowers, and many tall trees began to grow.

This roadside inn is surrounded by various mutated plants, creating a beautiful yet eerie scene.

And this sea of ​​flowers continued to extend in all directions, engulfing the road in a short period of time.

Everyone in the hotel was stunned by the changes taking place, staring in astonishment at this miraculous scene.

A group of elves, in particular, were incredibly excited; this was simply their ideal home.

Looking at the group of intruders again, they had all turned into dazed and confused figures, wandering slowly through the sea of ​​flowers like rusty robots.

Their eyes were vacant, moss began to grow on their equipment, and grass seeds sprouted in their hair.

If this continues, it won't be long before it turns into a clump of plants.

The intruders, too, became aware of their own changes. They wanted to escape, but were trapped in the illusion and unable to break free.

Unless you experience it firsthand, no one would know that a terrifying green hell lies hidden amidst the dazzling sea of ​​flowers.

Not only the people in the hotel were able to witness this strange sight, but the investigators outside were also dumbfounded.

In their field of vision, they could only see a colorful cloud floating in the sky, followed by flowers appearing on the ground covered with wild grass.

At first, they were tiny, delicate flowers, only the size of a fingertip, but soon they grew into large flowers, the size of a fist, or even comparable to the size of a human head.

The plants grew rapidly, many taller than a person, with swaying branches and vines that seemed to be alive.

If you look closely, you can even feel a strange sense of being watched, as if these plants also have consciousness and perception.

The group of people from various factions who came to investigate the inn all had a bad feeling at this moment.

Some timid people instinctively tried to run away, but when they rushed to the vehicle, they found that the wheels were already entangled by vines growing from the ground.

When I tried to start the car, I found that moss and mold had started to grow inside, and tender vines were growing from the corners.

This bizarre sight terrified the investigators, who immediately sent out a distress signal.

Unexpectedly, the distress signal sent out seemed to be blocked by some force, disappearing without a trace like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Some bolder individuals, however, had their eyes shining, convinced that the answer everyone was looking for was hidden in the inn.

Once you figure it out, you can get a generous reward and rise directly to a position of power.

Realizing this possibility, they did not retreat but instead advanced, continuing to try to get closer to the inn.

This group of greedy fellows were entangled by vines that suddenly sprouted from the ground, trapping them in place and unable to move. (End of Chapter)
