She tried to convey these matters in as much detail as possible, fearing that the voice call would be interrupted at any time.

The subsequent information in the diary has not been unlocked for the time being, and the perspective stops at the moment when the young man is about to enter Night City.

But to Ye Qing, this story had a lot of meaning.

After a brief silence, Ye Qing finally responded.

"I understand. This mission is probably a branch of Miss Hero's mission, but it may not be the key to our breakthrough now. Let's keep talking first. Manying, can you stay there?"

Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Even if we know that it is related to the incident with Hiro, it does not mean that we can rely on this connection to solve the problem now.

The most crucial issue is the current problem. The diary obtained from Zhao Manying can make people imagine a related plot line.

"Sure, I'm fine. I'm almost at level 40 now. If I can't win, I can still run away."

Zhao Manying found a piece of wood to block the door of the cellar, then took out the magic stone lamp from the inventory and began to explore the cellar below.

Just when the two of them restored communication, Zhao Xin finally dared to move.

The person who threw the corpse overhead has disappeared, and the area around the burial pit has become quiet, as if no one is watching it anymore.

But Zhao Xin was still cautious. She didn't even dare to use her jet and climbed up relying solely on her own skills.

Looking around, there was no sign of any human presence except for a cart full of corpses left nearby.

It was as if the two people who had just spoken to him were ghosts, and Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

She wasn't afraid of monsters with physical bodies, but ghosts were more or less...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin looked around carefully again, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was actually no one there.

"This place is too desolate. Is that the city we entered before?"

Zhao Xin glanced at the faint firelight in the distance and could see the rough outline of the city in the distance, but unfortunately there were no other light sources except the moonlight.

She could only grope her way forward, planning to return to the city first.

But before Zhao Xin had walked far, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.

Zhao Xindu had no choice but to activate the jet and quickly steady himself so as not to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

"That is?!"

As the ground shook, Zhao Xin suddenly noticed a ray of emerald green light suddenly flashing across the night sky.

For some reason, when that dazzling emerald green light appeared in her pupils, she was completely "mechanized" by it.

It's like some kind of existence with unique appeal, making it hard to look away just by its appearance.

But the reason why Zhao Xin's eyes were attracted by the light was not just that. She also saw some existence in the light.

In this long and narrow light curtain, there seemed to be some extremely huge existence flying slowly, and countless ghosts were following that huge existence.

"Ah...Ah! Damn it, how come it disappeared all of a sudden!?"

It wasn't until the light disappeared that Zhao Xin reacted and hurried to take a screenshot, but unfortunately he missed it.

Before Zhao Xin could feel any pity, what happened next made her shudder.

The ground beneath her feet suddenly lit up with a faint light, spreading out from the deep pit she had climbed out of before, and rushing straight towards the city.

There was suddenly some movement in the deep pit, and the cart carrying the corpse also moved.

"No way--"

Zhao Xin looked at the bodies that sat up and the transparent beings that kept floating out from the deep pit, and he felt as if a surge of blood rushed to his head.

She didn't have time to think any more, so she drove the jet and rushed out directly, not daring to stay here.

--------

"It's started, hehehe..."

The old man laughed strangely again before he finished speaking, which made Ye Qing even more confused.

Since the call between Zhao Manying and her ended again, Ye Qing had no way of knowing what happened to Zhao Manying.

However, considering the fact that the call was interrupted, it was most likely that some kind of problem occurred on Zhao Manying's side.

As if he noticed the expressions of the two people in front of him, the old man stopped laughing and coughed a few times before standing up.

"You want to join the game, this is easy to handle, the key is what result do you want to get?"

He raised the cane in his hand and hung it above the chessboard, as if waiting for Ye Qing's answer.

What is the result?

Ye Qing frowned slightly. His answer now should be to choose a certain way to enter the mission.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't say anything, Liu Sheng, who was standing nearby, didn't dare to say anything more. However, in such a weird atmosphere, he didn't dare to say anything for fear of causing trouble.

After a brief thought, Ye Qing gave his answer.

"I just want to get my companions out. I don't want to get involved in the cause and effect of this city."

After hearing what Ye Qing said, the old man's face seemed to reveal a hint of disappointment. He sighed deeply, and then slammed the "chessboard" with the cane in his hand.

"Then go play your own role, outsider!!"

boom! !

In an instant, a loud noise echoed throughout the space, as if someone had struck the sky and earth with a sledgehammer. The moment the sound came, the scene in front of Ye Qing's eyes became blurred.

The buzzing sound slowly disappeared, and Yagyu, who was standing next to him, finally released his hands that were covering his ears.

He looked at the old man in front of him, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Do you think sending someone like this in this time can change everything?"

The old man looked at Yagyu in front of him silently, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

"At least I'm going to try for those innocent people."

Chapter 90: City within a City

"Then we'll see."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Yagyu's" figure suddenly became blurred, and under the scorching sun, there was a momentary overlap, as if it was a shadow composed of two people.

When the voice was gone with the wind, only Liu Sheng was left under the locust tree, lying unconscious on the ground, and there was no sign of anyone else.

At this time, Ye Qing had already returned to the city. After a moment of blurriness, she appeared on the rooftop.

The inn and the soldiers could be seen not far away, and many players who had not closed the windows also noticed Ye Qing's figure.

Without having time to think, Ye Qing had already flipped down from the roof, leaving no chance for the soldiers to discover him.

"Think about it, what is going on..."

After landing, Ye Qing did not rush to act, but temporarily thought about everything he had experienced in that brief moment.

First of all, there are the houses here. According to the situation before the three of them "disappeared", some rooms should have been destroyed, especially after they released a magic sword explosion.

And after coming out of the inn, the three people seemed to be quite far away from the inn.

The reason why Ye Qing was able to determine that his current position was his original position was because of the flag next to the room in front of him.

The flag of this small vendor left here is exactly the same as the original flag.

"A more reasonable explanation is that we have entered a different time since we left the inn..."

Ye Qing still remembered the time cycle of noon-dusk-night mentioned by Liu Sheng, and he probably cut directly into the noon timeline before.

Afterwards, Zhao Manying was teleported to the dusk time node. If it was distributed equally, Zhao Xin might be at night time node.

As for when Zhao Xin would be able to resume communication, Ye Qing had no idea, and the situation on her side was really worrying...

Just when Ye Qing was about to try to walk out of the street again, a hurried running sound suddenly came from the front.

Without time to think, Ye Qing quickly moved to the side alley and used props to observe the situation outside.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared at the intersection of the street. They seemed to be chasing something, but when they reached the intersection, they seemed to have lost their target.

The leader of this group of soldiers was obviously a little angry. After cursing a few words, he let his men disperse and look around for something.

Are you looking for us?

Ye Qing stepped back cautiously, but justice was already in his grasp.

But it seemed that they were not here to look for him. Judging from the actions of this group of people, it seemed that they were chasing something, but the target disappeared when they reached here.

"Something's wrong. What are they carrying?"

Ye Qing frowned slightly. She noticed that the restless soldiers seemed to be always scratching their skin.

Whether it was the neck or the arms, they were even scratching with their armor, and you could even see blood on their hands.

Not sure if he was seeing things, Ye Qing noticed that something seemed to be moving on the soldiers' bodies.

Soon, three soldiers stopped in front of the house next door, seemingly hesitating whether to enter the house.

Apparently they were also quite afraid of these rooms. Noticing this, Ye Qing quietly hid himself and stuck to the wall with the help of invisible dust.

"...Where the hell did that thing go?"

"Who knows! If it weren't for the city lord's order, who would be willing to come here!"

"Hush!! Are you trying to kill yourself? If the city lord hears you, can you still go back?"

The city lord ordered...

There is no more information at the moment, and if I go to see these soldiers rashly I will only be stopped. It is better to go directly to see the "city lord", maybe I can get some clues.

With this in mind, Ye Qing waited for the three soldiers to pass before climbing back onto the roof and rushing towards the towering mansion in the center of the city.

There were no troubles along the way. Except for the soldiers patrolling on certain streets, Ye Qing basically arrived near the City Lord's Mansion safely.

But after getting closer, Ye Qing was suddenly dumbfounded.

"This place...does it really need a moat?"

She looked at the scene surrounding the mansion in front of her, and if she didn't know, she would have thought that a "castle" had dropped from the sky.

Although it is the City Lord's Mansion located in the city, a moat was specially dug to separate it from the surrounding streets, as if it did not want anyone to be able to reach it easily.

Ye Qing really couldn't tell whether he was being cautious or didn't trust his own people, but such a city lord probably wouldn't be loved by his people.

"Someone came out..."

Just as Ye Qing was thinking about how to get in, the gate of the small city slowly opened and a suspension bridge was lowered.

The figure that appeared immediately made Ye Qing crouch down immediately. He quickly used the invisibility dust to hide himself again. He hid in the shadows and stared at everything in front of him silently.

The reason was simple. The person who walked out of the city was someone Ye Qing was very familiar with.

A type of unit that only appears in the later stages of the Divine Realm Fantasy and is a high-level combat unit of the Eastern Empire.

Demon Soldier

Heavy armor like a cage, some non-human limbs, and weapons that wriggle like living creatures.

One, two, three, four...

A standard team of seven demon soldiers walked out slowly, and just as they stepped onto the land on the other side, the people in the city hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge as if they were risking their lives.

Fortunately, the demon soldier team moved quickly. They did not stay for too long and entered the city, giving Ye Qing the opportunity to rush onto the suspension bridge.

"Why are there demon soldiers in this place? Isn't this the beginning of the story?"

With such doubts in mind, Ye Qing slowly followed the suspension bridge into the city.

Different from the "desolate" situation outside the mansion, the inside of the mansion looks quite lively, at least if you ignore the group of demon soldiers responsible for guarding it.

Many servants were going in and out of the mansion, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands. Unfortunately, the inside was blocked by the eaves and rockery, so Ye Qing could not see the situation in the hall.

"We still have to try out the abilities of these demon soldiers..."

Ye Qing temporarily hid in a sentry post under the city wall, where various weapons for city defense were stored, but there was no one guarding it.

I don’t know if the people in the city made a mistake or they were simply too confident in the abilities of the demon soldiers, but there was no one guarding this place.

If the current strength of these demon soldiers is similar to what Ye Qing knows, then she will have to be more careful in her next actions.

Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from outside the door.

The door of the outpost was suddenly opened, and a somewhat haggard middle-aged man walked in with a dagger in his hand, followed by several demon soldiers.
