The Spirit World

Chapter 501: Vision that is not Vision

"Should we wait and see what happens?"

"If possible...it's better not to."

After walking out of the guide hall, Lin'er looked at the noisy situation inside with some reluctance, while Chang Yufeng pulled her out without looking back.

For Chang Yufeng, predicting such a thing was extremely cruel and unreasonable. If a terrible situation really occurred, he really could not guarantee that he would be able to control it.

My current self has gone from being confused at the beginning to being calm, and the change is so natural.

If I have to say something, it is that everything is in the game, and everything is part of the game.

This is someone else's game, so he must abide by the rules of the game. He does not need to understand the mystery of the game, he only needs to follow his own ideas, which is nothing more than a way to break the game of others. His own right and wrong, and the right and wrong of others are essentially the collision of two different concepts. He now needs to live as his own identity. There is no right or wrong in itself. The important thing is that he is himself now.

Ah... this is a very strange feeling. He had clearly anticipated that what he did might be wrong, but because the mistake was entirely his own, the indignation and unwillingness in his heart gradually subsided.

If you predict that something big might happen but it doesn't, and your judgment is wrong, then you are wrong, right? Isn't it better to admit such a mistake? If you can apologize with a smile and scratch your head, then people will accept it calmly.

"Well, if you put it that way." Lin'er was more curious about the guide hall. If something big happened, she could watch it as a bystander, which was the so-called "watching the fun" and it was a very interesting thing in itself.

Well, this might be a bit of letting down one's guard, but it's not natural to stay on edge all the time, just like Chang Yufeng is running for his life now.

When the two men walked out of the guide hall, they saw two rows of guards lined up in a menacing manner. A man in military uniform also walked over very seriously, with a cloak-like long coat fluttering behind him. He put his hands behind his back and his straight back transformed the movements that only an elderly person could have into his own unique walking style. His aura was strong enough that the people outside the hall saluted with their shoulders, awaiting the arrival of this captain.

Chang Yufeng also hurriedly pulled Lin'er to the side of the road and walked through the crowd of people standing sideways and saluting.

"What is Captain Kraft doing here..."

The passers-by next to Chang Yufeng were whispering as they watched Kraft walk into the hall. The soldiers in formation quickly returned to their ranks and followed him.

"Haven't you heard? Someone died in the city..." The other man has returned to his original standing position. Judging from his attire, he looks like an adventurer, that is, a warrior who hunts monsters everywhere.

"The Shadow Hunters are so rampant, aren't people dying every day? There's nothing to be surprised about." The man spoke, and Chang Yufeng also stopped. Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise, wondering why he suddenly stopped.

"A Jazz...Neymar, at home." The Warriors said three words at a time, and explained the matter to the man in a concise and clear manner.

"The unnatural death of a knight is very serious. Killing a knight right under the nose of Lord Longxu, do you think it's a big deal? Is it okay for Kraft to come?" The warrior stroked his mustache, patted his sword and said with a sly smile: "If he dies, let him die. It would be best if there is a bounty. In that case, I will take the initiative to find the murderer."

"Don't say..."

Chang Yufeng didn't listen any more, but continued to run with Lin'er.

Neymar? The fat guy?
Locke's father...

The matter is serious.

It's more serious than I thought.

"We have to leave quickly... My guess was right, something big is going to happen... We have to go home quickly and notify our parents to leave this city as soon as possible." Chang Yufeng told Lin'er about his guess.

"Why?" Lin'er also ran after him. Now she didn't need Chang Yufeng to pull her, so she ran very fast.

"Someone in Wenti County has been infected with evil spirit..." Chang Yufeng lowered his voice intentionally.

"Demonic energy...infection...no way..." Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng with some fear. The back of his head was completely white. If he wasn't so young and energetic, he would probably look like a little old man.

"Yes... and this infection will kill many people... including everyone here, they may die a violent death." Chang Yufeng guessed the result. Although he did not say the specific number, as soon as the word death was mentioned, the whole thing would seem very pessimistic, even scary.

"A lot of people died!" Lin'er looked back in shock. At those people standing in the guide hall who were still a little confused, if one of the three died, then no matter how you looked at it, it would be a very sad thing.

Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at those living people. Chang Yufeng actually predicted that the people here would die.

"Don't be so scared..." Chang Yufeng said with some comfort: "Maybe, this is life..."

The two of them were running in the sun. There were more and more soldiers on the street, and pedestrians stood on the side of the road more and more obediently, so they could no longer run.

The street scene of Wenti County began to become clear from blurry. As they walked on the street, the dragon statues and huge wall patterns began to look strange.

In this tense atmosphere, everyone must have been feeling insecure.

"It feels like something big has really happened..." Lin'er nodded. Many people around her were walking with their heads down. The soldiers scanned their bodies one by one. They were fully armed, and even those who were not afraid became scared.

Some soldiers noticed the two newly arrived children and actually took an offensive stance, holding a small shield in one hand and a long sword in the other to block them and shout at them to stop.

"Stop! Whose children are you? Why were you let out onto the street alone?" The soldier blocked the two men's way with a sword. Chang Yufeng opened his arms to indicate that he had no weapons, but the soldier was obviously a little scared.

This is not something a child would do. If an adult were to question him, would a child state that he had no weapons or bad intentions? Chang Yufeng reacted and slapped his thigh heavily like a child. His hand was naturally shaken a little bit. No, he was a child.

"Uncle! My mother asked me to come to the city to buy some soy sauce! Uncle, do you know where the soy sauce shop is?"

He spoke in a very cute baby voice, and although his ten-year-old body was much taller than the average ten-year-old, he really looked like a child compared to the height of a Wenti County enlisted soldier.

"Where is the soy sauce now? You guys go home early and tell your mother not to let you out alone!"

The soldier was fully armed, and one could only see his pair of eyes looking at Chang Yufeng very sternly.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy for the child, and Chang Yufeng could clearly feel his tense facial expression.

Just hearing the news of Sir Neymar's death is like knowing the inside story. Maybe I really try to be a prophet. After all, everyone wants to know the future. Sir Neymar's death is, in a large sense, a tragedy caused by the infection of demonic energy.

His son Locke came into contact with demonic energy without knowing it. No matter whether he came into contact with a magical beast or a person infected by the demonic energy, he unsurprisingly showed signs of demonic frenzy. Therefore, the first person to die would most likely be his parents who had the most contact with him.

This is very bad. Locke is a child and cannot resist the evil spirit at all. He may even be directly infused with the evil spirit in an instant, causing huge physical alienation. Then, he will go endlessly crazy and attack indiscriminately without any human considerations. He may even infect other injured but not dead people. The whole city, the whole principality, or even the whole spiritual world cannot stop it.

Then... this soldier should also know the inside story of the demonic infection, which is why he is so vigilant now.

However, in the known situations, there have not yet been any people infected with demonic energy who are highly intelligent and can walk on the streets like normal people. Most of them are horrible demonic monsters. Once a person is infected, they will almost lose their sanity and mutate into a monster with a terrible appearance and extremely terrifying attack methods.

No, wait!

He had also been infected by demonic energy. This body had been infected by demonic energy once before... Half a month ago, on the rainy night when the giant ice dragon was shouting for revenge, he was in a state of frenzy of demonic energy because of Xun Huangying.

This is the state described by Xun Huangying as demonization.

The first level of the Heavenly Demon is to transform from the most basic state of frenzied demonic energy into controllable demonic energy - that is, spiritual power plus demonic energy, alienating one's entire body to reach a limit that is impossible for humans to possess.

As one moves up to a higher level of Heavenly Demon, the more transformations one undergoes to their bodies, the stronger they become. One can even reach a level of combat power that only gods can achieve in a short period of time with a mortal body.

Thinking carefully, his weakness might have been designed by Xun Huangying. He could not have enough spiritual power, otherwise he would not be able to use the power of the demon. In other words, he compromised with Xun Huangying's power.

Even if he remembered the mantra of Bai Ling Shan's Six Paths now, he would not be able to exert his true strength due to the weakness of this body, and might even be backfired by Bai Ling Shan's Six Paths' mental method.

He seemed to understand something again. On that violent rainy night, he was undergoing the first demonization in his life... that is, he was infected by demonic energy.

But even though I almost went crazy at that time, the entire context of my memory and my level of rationality were very clear...it didn't seem like a state where I would actually go crazy.

What on earth is Xun Huangying thinking about... and what is he doing in his own world...

After hearing what the soldier said, he smiled and said goodbye to the soldier, "Uncle", so that Lin'er was a little confused from beginning to end.

They are now leaving the city, which may be very difficult in some sense.

Not to mention whether the soldiers guarding outside the gate of Wenti County would conduct strict inspections, he did not carry his own identification with him when he came out, which was just a booklet with color images of Rajel's family of four.

This booklet is also the source of evidence that Rajel received a monthly subsidy, as his family was the only one surviving in the old Mus Village.

Now there is another name called Lin'er in the booklet, but she is marked as niece.

If leaving the city was really as he thought, then the situation would be much worse than he thought. Considering that the Flying Eagles were on alert throughout the city, it was not impossible for them to conduct a strict investigation.

People on the street were in a panic. This might be the first day of martial law, so there were a lot of people on the street outside, all jogging silently. Including Chang Yufeng. If he ran, he would probably be invited to have tea soon.

It is understandable to be stabbed or shot by an arrow if you are treated as a suspicious person.

They trotted along and looked at the people on the street. No one dared to look them in the eye. Or rather, no one wanted to be dragged into a vortex of ignorance, even if they wanted to be caught and questioned.

"If we can't get out... we'll go to my master Old Tom's friend's place. It's a tavern and he'll probably take us in..." Chang Yufeng's grip on Lin'er's hand became more and more nervous, and his hands were sweating. This made Lin'er feel that the boy was thinking very nervously about the distress he would suffer if he couldn't leave the city and was trapped in the city.

Lin'er could only stand beside him, look at him, and nod silently.

After thinking for a while, she smiled and said with a relaxed look: "Brother Yufeng, I am very strong... Don't be afraid... Even in the most dangerous situation, I will protect myself. Not only that, I will also protect you, Brother Yufeng."

She said she would protect herself.

Chang Yufeng stopped in fear. Lin'er thought that this sentence would make Chang Yufeng feel at ease and less nervous. For Lin'er, in Chang Yufeng's eyes, Lin'er's safety was indeed more important than his own.

So when he stood up, Lin'er was obviously a little surprised.

Chang Yufeng looked at her with his black eyes, seriously, as if something really big had happened. She felt a little uncomfortable and flustered, and pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Lin'er looked elsewhere, not daring to look into those eyes.

"No... I was thinking... after all it's boys who protect girls, so, I should be the one protecting you." After saying that, Chang Yufeng sighed, took her hand and started walking away. He said this without confidence, but it was clear enough to make Lin'er twist her body unnaturally.

But, whoever is more powerful will protect whom, so what is there to fight about...right?
"In short, the current situation looks unclear, and it's actually very bad..." Chang Yufeng looked at the silent streets. The illusion that there were more soldiers than pedestrians on the streets almost made Chang Yufeng feel like he had entered a barracks, instead of the morning when he had just come to this city to look for Old Tom.

In the early morning, this city was still a central border city, open to everyone. But it was only around ten o'clock, and everything was turned upside down with the arrival of soldiers.

"Well... I've already noticed it." Lin'er was also observing the streets here. The incredible changes happened while they were still sitting in the guide hall.

Brother Yufeng was able to foresee this kind of thing in the hall. I have to say that he is quite foresighted.

But, actually, this is sad.

Chang Yufeng would rather believe that nothing would happen... because he had experienced it... so seeing the whole picture from a small perspective was just something unexpected.

So what was his vision?

His foresight was that his own village, Mousse Village, had been in trouble again...

Wait...why do you say again...

I didn't write about Talon because I didn't write it well... I tried to write it as well as possible, after all, the boss character [Ning Qing] appeared in the first volume. And in the ninth volume... he only showed up once, which is unscientific... and counterintuitive.
