"Uh, don't be so vigilant."

The person who was speaking had also just gotten off the plane. He walked past the man and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "The existence of players is no longer a secret."

"Besides, I'm also a player."

The man who spoke pulled out a black iron card from his pocket.

So the person who heard him speak was also stunned for a moment, knowing that he was stressed: "Sorry, I'm used to it, I can't change it."

"this is nothing."

The man grinned and said nonchalantly, "After all, a lot has changed in a month. The existence of players has suddenly become a commonplace from an urban legend among people. To be honest, I am a little uncomfortable with it."

"But thanks to this, the country is not as chaotic and turbulent as abroad!"

"If you think about it carefully, it's incredible. I still don't understand how the guy in the capital did it. He made most people in the country master the power of a certain system without knowing it. In this way, the players of the park announced by the official also naturally changed from being 'unique' in the eyes of the public to being the first movers, and the degree of opposition was greatly reduced... But if I could figure out this kind of state secret, I would have been visited by the official personnel a long time ago, right?"

"Well - let me introduce myself. My name is Su Yang, a Black Iron-level player. I became a Paradise player just last month... I'm considered a newbie, right?" This person talked a lot and seemed quite familiar.

"Liu Yu." The man thought for a moment and responded, "Just like you, I'm a Black Iron player. I was also selected by Paradise last month."

"Let's talk while we walk." He walked towards the passage outside the airport.

"Then it looks like you're a novice like me!"

The man who called himself Su Yang scratched his head and followed Liu Yu's steps. "So it seems that you are here for that legend as well?"

"legend?"

Liu Yu paused.

"Yes, legend!" Sun Yang spread his hands and said, "It seems that you don't know... After all, you are a novice. But even though I have only been a player for more than two months, about the same as you, I am much more informed than normal players. Although it has only been less than a month since the player was announced, the player has existed for nearly two years. Let's not talk about the international situation. Two years is enough for a group of top-level silver-level players to emerge in China."

"Needless to say, the 'ruler' in the General Affairs Office of the Imperial Capital and the 'God of War' guarding the northwest are also very important. The sage in the Magic City is said to be preparing to become a silver-level player in the near future. In addition, the cleaning section chiefs stationed in various places by the official General Affairs Office are also the most powerful figures at the top bronze level. However, the real third person in the country is not in the official department - but in Jiangcheng right in front of us!"

"It is also because of that person's existence that Jiangcheng can be called the 'Ghost City' along with the Imperial Capital, the Magic Capital, and the Divine City!"

Chapter 301: The Legend of Li Re, Nightmare on Elm Street

'Ghost House' Jiangcheng...When hearing the other party's words, the man who called himself 'Liu Yu' was obviously slightly stunned.

"It seems like you are quite out of touch with the news."

Seeing Liu Yu's expression, how could Su Yang not know that this guy really didn't know anything? But thinking carefully, before the official announcement of the existence of players, most players were indeed so cautious and closed-minded, so he didn't care and continued: "Think carefully, what earth-shattering event happened in Daxia a month ago?"

"A month ago..." Liu Yu looked thoughtful: "Was there a big earthquake in the Magic City?"

"That's right, it's the Great Earthquake in Magic City!"

Su Yang continued to walk beside Liu Yu and talk. The two walked at the end of the crowd of people getting off the plane in front of them and whispered to each other as they passed through the passage leaving the airport: "A month ago, a major earthquake with a magnitude of more than 7 occurred in the Magic City. The earthquake caused huge damage, but due to timely evacuation, the casualties were very small. But in fact, anyone who knows a little bit knows that the source of the earthquake was actually a counterattack from the last group of illegal players in the country."

"After all, on the third day after the earthquake, the leader of the illegal players, Zhang Ju, who escaped from prison, was publicly tried and executed in the Magic City. How could such a coincidence exist in this world?"

"According to a friend of mine who is a player in Shanghai, it was Zhang Dong who used special means to cause a mysterious paradise world to erode reality. The scene at that time was very shocking, with overwhelming Warcraft scenes and public opinion that could not be covered up! There was even a suspected 'demon god' level existence in the end."

Liu Yu couldn't help swallowing his saliva while listening to Su Yang's rambling words. Just by listening to such a simple description, he could already imagine the crisis of the situation at that time...

"So, it was this person in Jiangcheng that you mentioned who took action, which reduced the casualties?" He couldn't help but ask.

Su Yang nodded and said like a storyteller: "That's right!"

"At that time, the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy. The devil descended and Zhang Ju's conspiracy was almost successful. That guy wanted to collapse the order of reality and establish an era of ambitious people. But the spiritual fire suddenly ignited and directly tore through the darkness and burned all the monsters."

"Although he is a ghost god, he protects all living things, travels the three realms, moves on fire, and is the king of millions of spiritual officials. This is a 'proverb' that has been passed down by countless people who have experienced it personally. It is talking about that person!"

"'Spirit King' Li Re can be said to be the best supernatural player in the world!"

"And what happened afterwards can be said to be triggered by that incident. 'Ruler' Qu Shenyin fought with 'The Hanged Man', the leader of the international illegal organization 'House of Evolution', on the sea, and 'God of War' Zhang Guzhi forced the Hanged Man to cut off one of his arms."

"The latter is known to the world, but few people know that the former was the fuse!" Su Yang became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had seen the scenes of Li Re showing his divine power in the Magic City.

'Spiritual King' Li Re... Liu Yu chewed on this title and his eyes lit up inexplicably.

As they were talking, the two had already passed through the crowded terminal and left the airport. The crowd outside the airport was just as noisy and lively as what they had seen when they looked out the window before the plane landed. Countless airport greeters were holding signs, countless vehicles were lined up in an orderly manner in the parking spaces, and many taxi drivers were trying to pick up passengers... Watching this scene, Liu Yu remembered the various international news he had just heard through the headphones, and he found it more and more incredible - of course, what was also incredible were the black-clad official personnel who shuttled back and forth between these scenes to maintain order.

——Cleaning department staff.

That's what the logo on their uniforms says.

The domestic order can still be maintained stable, in addition to the various preparations made by the ruler in advance, this group of official personnel also made an indelible contribution.

"correct."

At the end, he suddenly stopped and looked at Su Yang beside him: "Since you said that the 'Spirit King' Li Re is in Jiangcheng... then what is the 'legend' you just mentioned? Is it related to the 'Spirit King'?"

Su Yang also stopped and opened his mouth to say something...

"Let me answer for him."

Before Su Yang could speak, another clear and dignified voice suddenly sounded behind him. Liu Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure stepping out from the airport exit they had just passed behind them. The figure was tall and handsome with a ponytail swinging, showing a clean and sassy look: "Legend has it that 'Spirit King' Li Re holds the opportunity to give people supernatural powers - as long as they can pass the 'tests' he sets in this city."

"Countless people have come to Jiangcheng in the past month, all for this." The person, who was obviously a woman and also a player, pointed at the bustling traffic around her and said so.

Liu Yu looked thoughtful, he certainly knew what this meant - the supernatural power was powerful and strange, and was considered very special among the many power systems in the park. Although it was not ranked high in the hearts of players, that was only because of the pollution of uncertainty that came with using supernatural powers.

But even if there is pollution, for most players, it is still a force worth taking the risk!

The next second, the woman said, "But it seems that you don't know anything about this rumor... Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to study." Liu Yu simply explained: "Master's student at Jiangcheng University."

"You are a gamer, but you are still studying so hard..." The woman was surprised and looked him up and down.

Su Yang suddenly popped his head out from behind Liu Yu: "Sister, you are finally here!"

"What's so big? I'm not as big as you."

The heroic woman rolled her eyes.

"Oh...it's indeed not big." Su Yang muttered subconsciously.

The woman frowned immediately!

"It looks like you know each other?" Liu Yu looked at the two of them.

"Yeah." Su Yang nodded: "Like you, I met her on the way here..."

"Zhang Yun." The woman spoke to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also introduced himself again: "Liu Yu."

"Okay, now that we're here, it's easy." Su Yang clapped his hands, looked at Zhang Yun, and then looked at Liu Yu: "Although you seemed to know nothing about the 'Spirit King' before, but now that you've met him, how about you fight with us? Fight for a chance to gain supernatural powers!"

"You look like an ordinary professional player, right?"

Zhang Yun also looked at Liu Yu: "One more person does give us one more chance. I have no objection."

"Supernatural players... If there is a chance, I am certainly interested!" Liu Yu responded without hesitation! For ordinary professional players, this is indeed very tempting!

"That's right!"

Su Yang grinned happily: "Then let's prepare a little bit... start the action in the evening and find the test of 'Spirit King' Li Re!"

"evening?"

Liu Yu blinked.

"For supernatural things, of course it's best to start when the yin energy is strong." Zhang Yun explained: "And the evening, when the yin and yang meet, is the most suitable time, isn't it?"

Liu Yu looked at Su Yang, who was full of confidence, then at Zhang Yun, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Since we're leaving tonight - here's my contact information. I'll report to the school first, and you guys can decide where to meet tonight."

"Okay." Zhang Yun shook the ponytail behind her head: "Um...Su Yang? If you have nothing to do, look around the city for me! Although it's not time yet, I have to familiarize myself with the terrain first."

"I have to go eat something and buy some local specialties first. I heard that Jiangcheng has a lot of local specialties..."

"Uh... Miss, you still want to go shopping at this time?" Su Yang glared: "Besides, I'm going to explore the terrain, and you go shopping and eat, isn't that bad?"

Zhang Yun slapped out a credit card and said, "I'll cover all your expenses in the city."

"Okay, miss! I'll go right away!" Su Yang took the credit card and immediately gave a flattering smile.

Liu Yu: “…”

Although I heard so much news that I didn't know before...but are these two guys really reliable? Why do they look like they are here for tourism? I shouldn't be fooled, right?

Forget it.

He let out a breath.

Now that he was here... and had heard so much, he suddenly felt that it would be a shame not to give it a try!

"I'll be leaving now, see you tonight."

He waved at the two of them and turned to leave.

There was a lot of noise outside the airport.

However, what Liu Yu did not notice was that when he walked past a roadside puddle, the scene reflected in the water distorted slightly, as if showing a desolate and eerie dilapidated urban scene - the prosperous scene was gone, and only the breeze whistled like a cry.

...

"Burp...I'm so full!"

A few hours later, as the sun was setting and the streets of the city were becoming less crowded, Su Yang walked out of the restaurant burping, "Jiangcheng is indeed a big city by the river. The river fish tastes so delicious! All the fatigue from walking around all afternoon seems to have disappeared!"

"So you're going to use the credit card I gave you to eat at a small restaurant like this?"

Zhang Yun's voice suddenly came from the side.

Su Yang glanced at him and was slightly stunned: "When did you arrive? You scared me!"

"I came here as soon as I received the message you sent." Zhang Yun responded concisely, his overall temperament still crisp and neat.

"You're really quick." Su Yang spread his hands in response, and then said: "But don't underestimate these small shops on the street. The real delicacies of a city are often hidden here - of course, it's probably hard for rich people like you to understand, right?"

"Then again, every household here really does worship the 'Lingguan'..." Su Yang looked back into the store, and through the glass door he could see the statue of a deity placed opposite the door. It was dark green and eerie.

Zhang Yun also glanced sideways and said, "It is a ghost house after all."

"I saw quite a few in the afternoon, too."

"Well... now that you're here, if you calculate carefully, the time should be about the same. Why hasn't Liu Yu come yet? I sent him my address half an hour ago!" Su Yang looked around and said, "How about I give him another call?"

"Okay." Zhang Yun nodded.

The two talked as they walked. Su Yang, who was walking in front, took out his cell phone and dialed the number Liu Yu had just given him. With a beep, the call was quickly connected.

Liu Yu asked in confusion: "Hello, who is this?"

"Mr. Liu Yu - have you lost your memory?" Su Yang said helplessly: "Come here quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Su Yang?" Liu Yu on the other side seemed to have just reacted.

"It's me." Su Yang responded, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Why does your voice sound a little strange..."

His words suddenly stopped.

Because of another voice on the other side of the line.

"Do you know him?" The words did not come from the phone directly, but sounded like someone was speaking next to him. Even though the voice was slightly distorted through the communication channel, Su Yang still heard it clearly.

That’s...Zhang Yun’s voice!

Su Yang suddenly looked at Zhang Yun beside him.

Zhang Yun responded with a confused look.

"Yes... he's my acquaintance." At the same time, Liu Yu on the other side also responded to the words of another 'Zhang Yun', but his tone was slightly trembling and he seemed to be pretending to be calm.

Then Su Yang came to his senses and finally understood something.

He was just about to say something...

"wrong!"

Zhang Yun's voice behind Su Yang sounded a little suppressed at the same time: "This street - there is something strange!"

“We just walked through this place.”
