The Spirit World

Chapter 506 Inference
On the street, Chang Yufeng walked slowly again. He looked at the passers-by who were walking hurriedly beside him. Anyone who was not stupid would know that something big had happened. There were only two kinds of such big things. There were many people who tried to avoid being involved in them, and he was just one of them.

There are so many people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and only those who can grasp the direction well in the wind and waves can withstand the impact of the wind and waves.

Therefore, his calmness was more externalized, and his sharp eyes glanced at others, as if they were being judged harshly. The more people he looked at, the more he realized that the soldiers here were walking in an orderly manner on the street.

Wenti County has been known as the East, West, South and North Gates since ancient times. Mousse Village is on the east side of Wenti County, so the direction Chang Yufeng just came from is the East Gate. A large number of these soldiers should have been stationed at the East Gate, but now a large number of soldiers patrolling the streets are walking from the East Gate to other directions.

There is a possibility that the situation at other gates is even worse.

I met Hatulin's crow at the east gate, and the two Hatulin members who were with the crow were probably joining them. Therefore, in terms of manpower, the guidance team of the Flying Eagles may have fallen into an information trap and had a situation of luring the tiger away from the mountain. At this time, Captain Kraft was still announcing something in the guide hall, and he controlled the people in the guide hall to a large extent. It was obvious that Kraft should have received a signal that there were some suspicious people in the guide hall.

After this analysis, Hatulin's calculations can be said to be very rational.

They used the standard way of thinking that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, and played the tricks of luring the tiger away from the mountain and confusing the information with magic. In the Wenti County Household Department which was short of manpower, they were able to conduct a thorough investigation at the first time, which was the most important link, the guide hall surrounded by the elite Eagle Team guarded by Kraft.

If the Internal Affairs Department of Wenti County had sufficient staff and many experts like Kraft, Hatulin's information confusion strategy would not work to a large extent, because the Internal Affairs Department could fully dispatch personnel to every information confusion point for inspection.

Well, in the final analysis, knowing that where Kraft was might be the most dangerous place, the most important thing for a child like me with limited abilities to do was to stay away from the soldiers on the move and away from where Kraft was going.

Chang Yufeng would not believe that Longxu Guild would dispatch Kraft to a place without critical information, because the importance of this matter was extraordinary and the situation was extremely serious. It was simply unimaginable that Longxu Guild would dispatch the most powerful guard force to a place without the most important clues. To a certain extent, it could be said that if such a thing was really done, this step would be a big mistake, and the people of the entire Wenti County would suffer, including Longxu Guild and Kraft himself.

Therefore, when all the speculations from all sides were supported by his own arguments and convinced himself, Chang Yufeng began to slowly avoid those soldiers, trying to walk in the opposite direction of the guide hall, away from Kraft, who was most likely to be in danger.

As for reverse logic, Chang Yufeng would rather believe that there is no so-called reverse interference in this speculation, that is, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

He believes that the most effective decision is to stay away from the most dangerous places when he is not targeted by others.

In fact, if you can hide, that would be great. This is also the only safest way. He walked slowly and confirmed the direction the soldiers were running. At least on the road, the four gates of Wenti County had different personnel deployed in different directions.

He noticed the crossroads of Wenti County. Among the patrol teams, the troops at the west gate and south gate were obviously more than those at the east gate and north gate. The same was true for the number and frequency of patrols.

He knew that at the East Gate, Hatulin's men had carried out a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, disguising themselves at the East Gate or planning something else. Then, the direction of the North Gate of Wenti County might be the place where Hatulin released the least confusing information. It could also be considered that Hatulin's purpose was not focused on the North Gate, or that the North Gate did not have the target that Hatulin wanted to obtain.

This leads to reverse logical thinking. If Lord Longxu was smart enough, the Wenti County Internal Affairs Office would probably have appropriately dispatched more "soldiers immersed in darkness" to the North Gate and the East Gate to conduct investigations. This would be a huge disparity with the current visible military strength at the North Gate and the East Gate.

Therefore, when the Internal Affairs Department of Wenti County also released confusing information to varying degrees, there was a great danger at the east, west, south and north gates of Wenti County.

After all, at present, the Flying Eagles and ordinary soldiers of Wenti County seem to be in danger. Because once they really fight against the magic infected, their enemies are likely to become the magic infected and their teammates.

In this dilemma, not even the bravest man would show a trace of cowardice.

Demonic infection is a kind of madness that will make people lose their minds or even go crazy when it occurs. And as long as they are injured, the "demonic energy" that symbolizes the demonic infection will quickly "infect" them, causing the injured to fall into "madness" as well.

Currently, there are no known rational people among those infected by the evil spirit.

With the current infection of demonic energy, apart from the exorcists of the empire and the holy light masters of the principality, the only remaining method is to kill them to prevent those infected by demonic energy from becoming the source of a rabid plague.

Chang Yufeng fell into anxiety. He was trying to figure out which result between his forward deduction and reverse deduction was more reliable. After all, even if he knew which side had less danger and which side had weaker enemies, he could not save himself from the fact that he was a child.

Do I have to snap my fingers and release a small fire that can only burn my eyebrows to fight against those infected by evil spirits?

Although he knew that Lin'er's strength might make it relatively easy to deal with ordinary demon-infected people, that is, ordinary people infected by monsters, but now he was a burden to Lin'er in battle. If Lin'er had to take care of herself and deal with the enemy at the same time, then the chances of winning would definitely be greatly reduced.

It is not a worrying matter to choose which city gate to go through. In fact, as long as you leave the Guide Hall where Kraft is and the East Gate of Wenti County where Hatulin is, the degree of danger for an unarmed person is the same no matter which gate you go through, because it is all the same: death.

As of now, it is feasible for Chang Yufeng to consider the demonic infected and the shadow hunters together to avoid contact with the crowd. In addition, this matter may be more complicated than imagined, so his intention is to ensure his own safety first and wait and see before deciding on the next course of action.

The street market was closed, and the hotel owned by his master's friend was also shut. He had originally thought of going to the hotel owned by Old Tom's friend, but now that was all in vain.

If I really want to find a place, where should I go?

The streets of Wenti County, from the ancient dragon sculptures to the special buildings on the corners, the intricate stacking of bricks and marble is cleverly pieced together by the architectural wizard. In this city with a thousand years of history, which is surrounded by cold lands but has a unique scenery of everlasting spring all year round, for a weak child, where is the shelter to face the crisis?
"What is Brother Yufeng looking for?"

Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng who was looking around. She was also very calm and walked around with Chang Yufeng, as if things were not that serious.

But she was also always on guard. For her, knowing that Chang Yufeng was weak at the moment, she instinctively took care of Chang Yufeng's feelings as a boy. But she also knew that she had to take good care of this weak boy at the critical moment.

She could see that Chang Yufeng was actively looking for a solution. She chose to ask because the boy didn't tell her his thoughts, but that didn't affect what she did, right? It had always been like this.

Seeing Chang Yufeng's anxiety, she also wanted to share it.

"It would be great if we could overlook the entire Wenti County. In that case, I would have a more intuitive grasp of the situation and be able to make judgments based on reason and evidence." Chang Yufeng placed his thumb next to his temple and supported his forehead with his index finger. He was thinking deeply, which made his eyes narrow.

At this moment, he was like a charge to break through the situation. After thinking more, he still couldn't find any foolproof way to make him feel at ease. "If that's the case, I can hold you and fly to the sky..." After Lin'er finished speaking, the Wanxiang Hand behind her was triggered. They wanted to grab Chang Yufeng's shoulders to let him fly to the sky, but they were stopped by Chang Yufeng.

He used his hand to dissuade Lin'er from doing so, and looked around. The tall houses here were only three stories high at most. Although it was very tall for a child, it was indeed short for a high-rise building.

"We'll easily be considered suspicious if we do this. Even if we stand on the roof and observe, the view won't change much. It's probably not worth it. I really want to find a place to observe the overall situation, but for now, we still need to stand in the middle, not to cause trouble to the soldiers guarding the city, and to prevent the monsters from approaching. This is the best case scenario for us."

Chang Yufeng was very disappointed that he couldn't see anywhere high enough. His vision was restricted and he could only compete with the air to a large extent.

"So are we here now? We are at a crossroads, and there may be a lot of people coming and going. Aren't you afraid that monsters will pass by here?" Lin'er asked Chang Yufeng in return. Chang Yufeng smiled and said something to her, which made her laugh.

"Will monsters obey traffic rules?"

The two looked at each other, and both of them smiled mysteriously at this little joke.

Yes... The premises of my current speculations are all positive and negative deductions from normal logic, but monsters are anti-logical. They just attack people crazily without thinking.

In a sense, my belief that the monster would first appear in crowded places was my own subjective assumption. Where the monster first appeared should be where the first living person he saw appeared. If we follow this direction and train of thought, then the place where the culprit - the monster first appeared and indiscriminately attacked the living people is the most dangerous place.

There was absolutely no way that place was the guide hall, nor was it the city gates where they were originally located. Chang Yufeng immediately glanced at his pocket watch, it was eleven twenty. It had been an hour or two since the city was sealed off. In such a long time, all the predicted things might fail.

"Let's go to the guide hall..." Chang Yufeng pulled Lin'er and started jogging.

Kraft should be investigating something else, and the place where he was just now was the Guide Hall. If there was no danger there before the city was closed, there would definitely be no danger now.

"Hmm..." Lin'er looked at the soldiers around her. She could still feel the panic-stricken fear from them. It might not be so serious on passers-by. The soldiers might be showing normal timidity because they knew they were about to face a smile.

Chang Yufeng was also observing the soldiers' eyes along the way. Everything about them was actually a little unusual. Of course, it was not normal to say that they lacked training. It was also not normal for them not to be afraid when facing monsters with a very high mortality rate.

They are guarding on the front line and are at the forefront at critical moments, so I have to respect them naturally. However, as of now, I should be the one being protected, so not causing trouble for them is the most correct decision.

And in the Guide Hall, something was really happening.

This was actually beyond Chang Yufeng's expectations. When they just left the Guide Hall, Kraft sat in the Guide Hall solemnly, and all the Chamber of Commerce presidents quickly quieted down.

Kraft said nothing, watching the people in the guide hall entering and comparing information in front of the soldiers one by one.

He stood there majestically, making everyone here silent. They just looked at him a few times, and even if they were dissatisfied, they would not say much.

Kraft certainly didn't come here to sit there in a daze. He was staring at everyone one by one, from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce to the Human Chamber of Commerce, their presidents were all clearly in Kraft's eyes, and every move could not escape Kraft's inspection.

Kraft stroked his chin and walked past them, over and over again, making everyone stand in awe unconsciously.

As for Kraft's silence, I guess he wanted to wait until everyone had registered before talking about anything else.

Those who had completed registration could not leave either. They were placed next to another team and lined up in order. When there was only one person left who had not completed registration, Kraft looked at the people who stayed in the guide hall below the stairs and compared their names with the name of the chamber of commerce.

"Dona." He called a name.

A short goblin took off his hat, stood out timidly and saluted. He had green skin, short stature, and green skin wrinkles all over his body. He was very shy and there was timidity in his eyes.

Kraft glanced at him and called out another name.

"Holliard."

A sturdy man wearing a coat with his chamber of commerce logo walked out calmly. He saluted with a smile on his face. He had short white hair and green eyes, and looked very confident.

Kraft nodded to him and said the last name.

"Rias."

A black-haired woman in a red long skirt walked out of the team with her pelvis tilted sideways. Her red high heels made her whole body look much longer. She had long thighs and a plump figure. She was also full of confidence, but even more charming.

"Now, we are arresting you as shadow hunters. Come with us. The rest of you will stay in the city. You are not allowed to leave the city in the next few days. The Flying Eagle Team will protect you all. Please cooperate actively."

After saying that, Kraft turned and left. The Eagles held the three of them in custody. They only heard them say that they were innocent, but never saw Kraft respond.

When walking out of the guide hall, Chang Yufeng also arrived. He looked at the three people of different identities who were detained behind Kraft. Although he didn't know what had happened, at least this was definitely the safest place after the city was closed.

What he had to think about next was not to figure out what had happened, but how to protect himself.
