Walking around in the evening until late at night, Jiang Ying also learned a little about the city.

The technology here is far more advanced than the three suburban districts where he lives,

It is even more developed than the northern region in the transfer station.

Jiang Ying just walked along the main road for a while, and saw many small spaceships, hovering cars and intelligent robots along the way.

According to the technological level of this city, it is completely possible to fully realize the replacement of labor with machinery.

But for some reason, the service industry in the city has not been replaced by technology at all.

When Jiang Ying and the others explored the city in the evening, every few hundred meters they walked, they would meet men and women who were dressed too coolly on the street.

They greet passers-by warmly and ask them if they need help.

At first, Jiang Ying thought that these were employees from nearby stores coming out to solicit customers, but later found out that they did not belong to any store.

Every pedestrian passing by is their guest and can enjoy free services.

Jiang Ying would not approach strange people easily, and Qin Huo was too embarrassed to talk to strangers.

Only Sun Kongkong, who was familiar with him by nature, leaned over with a curious face, picked out a handsome male waiter, and asked him to help him squeeze his shoulders.

The waiter's technique was very good, and Sun Kongkong stomped his feet refreshingly.

Jiang Ying stood aside, opened the eyes of judgment, and looked around the entire street.

Whether it is the pedestrians coming and going, or the gentle and enthusiastic waiters, they are all empty, without any words.

The street in front of me is bustling and bustling, but no one really exists.

The more Jiang Ying watched, the colder her back became.

Qin Huo was researching why his mental power didn't work anymore, while Sun Kongkong was enjoying the massage while chatting with the waiter.

The man who gave him the massage said the city was a paradise where everyone was equal without the gap between rich and poor.

So there are no bosses, mayors, and the like.

There are only two kinds of people here, waiters and residents.

Sun Kongkong asked him, if there is no money to make, how can anyone be willing to be a waiter?

Men said it was voluntary, that they were self-giving and willing to serve others.

Sun Kongkong was still a little emotional at first, thinking that these people in front of him are really noble.

In the next second, he saw a pair of bright-looking young couple getting off a suspension vehicle.

Facing the line of service personnel on the side of the road, they clicked twice casually, and said that he wanted to take a passenger car.

Immediately, two waiters walked out of the queue and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The young lovers sat up separately, and the waiters began to crawl slowly with their hands and feet.

Sun Kongkong was dumbfounded.

The handsome man who had been massaging him quietly saw him staring over there, and asked him in a low voice, "Sir, do you want to take a taxi too?"

Sun Kongkong didn't want to.

He was so frightened that he jumped back to Jiang Ying's side.While pointing at the 'human car' that was climbing further and further away, Brother Ying kept shouting.

Jiang Ying frowned.

He knew that the two waiters who crawled away were not real.

And the image they present in this false city is still a monster disguised as a human being.

But Jiang Ying still felt annoyed more and more.

The three of them explored for several hours and saw many scenes that shattered their views.

People carts dragging guests on their backs, kneeling and crawling all the way forward; human chairs lying on the edge of flower beds for citizens to sit down and rest; human-shaped decorations tied up and hanging by the roadside, with flowers on their bodies.

When passing a beautiful lake, Jiang Ying also saw a painter standing on the grass drawing a picture, and a waiter bent over to use him as an easel.

And in the lake in front of him, there were several corpses of waiters floating.

Two giant humanoid robots are cleaning up the garbage in the lake.They salvaged the corpse and stuffed it into the mechanical mouth together with the sundries.

After a buzzing sound of the machine running, the garbage and corpses were turned into fertilizer by the robot.

They take the fertilizer out of the space in their abdomen, and take heavy steps to irrigate the flower beds on the street.

Sun Kongkong, who was in a sluggish state the whole time, finally couldn't help but retched while supporting the big tree beside him.

He had just vomited a few times when a waiter tied to a tree came over with a smile on his face and asked him if he needed help.

Xiao Sun looked at the young girl with bruises in front of her eyes and a dog leash around her neck, and her whole body shivered uncontrollably.

Jiang Ying's reaction was much smaller than his.

He and Qin Huo looked at each other speechlessly, seeing the unconcealable disgust in each other's eyes.

What he saw and heard along the way had a big impact on Sun Kongkong.

After entering the hotel room, he greeted Jiang Ying, and lay down on the bed in a daze.

This city is too weird, Jiang Ying only opened a luxurious high-end suite for safety reasons.

The suite has two bedrooms separated by a beautifully furnished living room.

Jiang Ying didn't care about Sun Kongkong, whose brain was down. He dragged Qin Huo to another bedroom, closed the door behind his back, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you hear what the front desk told me just now?"

Qin Huo was looking around the room, and nodded upon hearing this.

Jiang Ying frowned puzzled, "When I got out of the elevator, the artificial intelligence there said 'Welcome home' to me, and now the front desk here asked me why I didn't go home."

"I always feel that people in this city know me and are very familiar with me. Wait for the receptionist who talked to me to come over later, and I want to ask him carefully."

He paused and said hesitantly: "I don't want to use violence, but the front desk won't cooperate with mere verbal inquiries. Brother Qin, can you hypnotize him?"

After Jiang Ying finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.

When he looked up, Qin Huo pursed his thin lips tightly and his eyes were empty, as if in a daze.

Jiang Ying yelled a few more times before Qin Huo came back to his senses.

He silently led Jiang Ying to the bed and sat down, wrapped his arms around his waist, and hugged him into his arms.

Before entering the hotel, Jiang Ying felt that Qin Huo looked a little absent-minded.

He raised his head and asked with concern: "Brother Qin, do you have something to say to me?"

Qin Huo kissed the corner of his lips, with extremely complicated expressions in his eyes, "Xiao Ying, when I interrogated Jerrus, he told me two things, I only told you one thing, and the other one I didn't say."

Jiang Ying instantly thought of her dead parents, and also remembered the cause of their death.

He hummed in a low voice, "I'm not feeling bad anymore, what's the other thing, just say it."

It was Jiang Ying who was about to hear the bad news, but Qin Huo was even more disturbed than him.

He patted Jiang Ying's back with his hand, and kept dropping soft kisses on his cheeks.

He lowered his eyelids until Jiang Ying began to urge him, "Xiao Ying, I know you hate the practices of the three camps, and you never thought of hurting anyone. In my eyes, you are a very good and kind person.”

Jiang Ying knew that this was just a foreshadowing, and the focus was on the back.

Under his puzzled gaze, Qin Huo took a deep breath, "Jerus said, you are a monster brought out by the Future Alliance from the ancient ruins."

"The alliance's internal information shows that the ancient ruins were originally a powerful god who created a residence for his people. God's people are blessed by the gods and have extraordinary power far beyond ordinary people."

"They became the overlords of the world by virtue of their divine power, and they were also the biggest slave owners. Human beings have been enslaved by them for more than three thousand years. Later, the powerful gods who guarded these people were severely injured for some reason. He fell into a long sleep, and heAs a result, the people lost the protection of the gods and lost the power to surpass ordinary people."

"In the end, the human beings who have been enslaved for a long time set off a revolution and killed all the people of the gods. Several cities that were once glorious were also defeated and turned into ancient ruins."

After Jiang Ying finished listening, she frowned slightly.

"So... I am the only surviving blood of that extraordinary race? My ancestors are all bastards. For several generations, they should be shot?"

He quickly figured it out, and chuckled, "It doesn't matter if I'm really a descendant of that race. I wasn't born when they did bad things. Hundreds of years have passed between them, so these grievances can't be counted."On my head."

After Jiang Ying finished speaking, Qin Huo's expression became more complicated.

He pondered for a long time, "No, you are not a descendant of the extraordinary race."

"Then I'm a descendant of that bastard god? That makes sense, otherwise the three gods wouldn't value me so much."

"No little Ying, Jerus told me that in the internal data of the high-level alliance, you still have a title, they call you 'Lord of Time and Space'. The data shows that you are the owner of the ancient ruins. You fell into a deep sleep after being severely injured.The alliance explored the ancient ruins and dug you out, so there was No. 0 experimental subject."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Qin Huo paused, and said hesitantly: "When Jerus said these words, his expression was very serious. I don't think he is lying. Jerus deliberately told me to delay the time.Describe in detail how God's people cruelly and enslaved mankind."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but what he said, such as people, cars and chairs, I have seen in this city today. So I feel that he may not be lying completely. Your background, maybe it really has something to do with the ancient gods.”

Jiang Ying: ...

Ah.

Jerus ran the train with his mouth full of words, he really was a liar.

Brother Qin is really easy to deceive, he will believe such outrageous words.

Seeing that Jiang Ying kept silent, Qin Huo thought that he was in a bad mood, so he took his hand and began to comfort him.

"Xiao Ying, what he said is not completely credible, so don't think too much about it. In my opinion, no matter your character or strength, you are not comparable to the Lord of Time and Space. You can't be that bastard god."

Jiang Ying: ...

Qin Huo obviously looked sincere, but he always felt that there was a sentence just now that sounded weird.

And how could he think too much about such an outrageous thing.

Brother Qin is still too honest to believe anything.

In the future, we must pay close attention to lest Brother Qin be cheated and return the money.

Qin Huo thought he brought two bad news.

To Jiang Ying's ears, it was bad news and a joke.

Qin Huo grew up so old, he basically never heard jokes.

Everyone came to him and said it was serious.Either ask him for scales, or ask him for flesh and blood.

He really remembered what Jerrus said, and he was really worried about Xiao Ying.

Realizing that he was worrying for nothing, Qin Huo was a little aggrieved.

But Jiang Ying smiled happily. After watching it for a long time, he also felt happy in his heart.

He pursed his lips and laughed along with Jiang Ying, although he didn't know where the point of the smile was.

Jiang Ying laughed for a while, then her body tilted and fell into Qin Huo's arms.

He grabbed Qin Huo's chest.The clothes in front of her, while laughing muffledly, choked up twice at the same time.

Qin Huo felt a few tears falling on him.

He sighed, and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

When Xiao Ying thinks about her parents, she will take the initiative to approach his arms.

This shows that although Xiao Ying is still very sad, she no longer blames him.

————

After more than ten minutes, the doorbell rang outside.

Jiang Ying looked at the time, and there should be a front desk for room service outside the door.

Ever since entering the city, Qin Huo's mental power has found it difficult to detect the surrounding scene.

The coverage of mental power has shrunk severely, and it is still not effective from time to time, and don't know what is going on.

Jiang Ying looked out through the cat's eyes, but there was no one else outside except the front desk.

He opened the door and put the front desk into the room, and then quietly locked the door with his backhand.

Qin Huo, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, squinted his eyes, and looked straight at the front desk with golden snake pupils.

The two looked at each other, Qin Huo was silent for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly.

Jiang Ying frowned slightly.

Since Brother Qin has no way to exercise mind control over the front desk, there are only two methods left at the moment: routine and violent interrogation.

According to the plan of the three of them, Sun Kongkong should have gone to talk to him next.

But after the receptionist entered the room, his eyes never left Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying crossed her arms, he didn't like being stared at all the time.

Seeing this, the front desk bowed respectfully: "Dear Sir, I am honored to serve you."

Sun Kongkong, who was ignored, muttered softly beside him, "Why do you only call him Mr. Noble, but when you come to my side, you will be addressed as a guest."

His voice is very low, but Jiang Ying is an A-level player, and her five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people.

He glanced at Sun Kongkong suspiciously, turned his head and continued to look at the front desk, "Do you know me?"

The receptionist's expression froze indiscernibly, and then he nodded with a smile, "Yes sir, there will be a grand banquet this morning."

Jiang Ying:?

"I asked if you knew me."

"Sir, remember to go to the downtown square at 2 o'clock in the morning to attend today's banquet. At that time, there will be a suspension train coming to pick you up and your friends."

The reaction from the front desk was too strange, and Jiang Ying felt that the situation was not right.

He opened the eyes of judgment reflexively, but saw the front chest.Before him, a line of words floated out slowly.

"It's delicious, I want to eat, I really want to eat!"

And above his head is a bright capital letter "S"

This was the first real person Jiang Ying saw after entering the city.

Before he could open his mouth to tell Qin Huo, the front desk, which was only one step away from him, suddenly split his body in two from the middle.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure exuding a stench burst out from the receptionist's body and rushed straight towards Jiang Ying.

Qin Huo, who was standing aside, stepped in front of Jiang Ying.The black shadow hit Qin Huo's chest, making a muffled sound.

Realizing that there is a giant python blocking her, and there is no chance to attack Jiang Ying, the black shadow dodges and is about to crawl into the wall.

Qin Huo's face was gloomy, he grabbed the black shadow with one hand, and pressed it to the ground violently.

The moment the black shadow landed, it suddenly dispersed like sand with a crash.

Qin Huo raised his hand and was about to move, when Jiang Ying's cold voice suddenly came from behind him: "Come back to me!"

As his voice fell, time began to flow backwards.The shadows that had been scattered in all directions gathered together again.

This time, several people finally saw what the black shadow looked like.

It was a piece of sand that was wriggling like a slender earthworm.

It was covered with blood and minced meat, and as it shook, one could see scarlet eyeballs on it.

Jiang Ying's eyes of judgment were not closed yet, he looked back and forth between the front desk and the earthworm, and nodded in affirmation.

"Just now, this thing was parasitic in the front desk's body, and I was able to see the words representing inner desires from the front desk."

Just as Qin Huo was about to say something, the earthworm sand in his hand suddenly turned around and hit his wrist.

It seemed that he wanted to bite his skin and get into his body.

Jiang Ying and Qin Huo bowed their heads together, silently watching the earthworms bouncing back and forth on Qin Huo's body.

In the end, the earthworm's head was broken off, and Qin Huo didn't even leave a mark on his wrist.

Qin Huo raised his chin proudly, and smiled shyly at Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah, the skin is so thick and powerful."

Xiao Ying's boast was not serious, and Qin Huo was a little disappointed.

The two studied the earthworms for a while, but they didn't understand why a real monster suddenly appeared in a city that seemed to be made up of illusions.

But what is certain is that this monster can parasitize in the human body, manipulating the host to move and communicate like ordinary people.

Sun Kongkong needs to take special care of him so that he will not be parasitized.

The front desk of this hotel is not ordinary.

The normal person was torn in half from the middle, and he was already dead and couldn't die anymore, but the front desk was still alive and kicking.

He stretched out his arms on both sides of his body, and slowly stood up while supporting the wall.

Then he skipped and walked into the guest room, saying that he was going to find a needle and thread to sew himself up again.

After all, Sun Kongkong is a newcomer, and he has never seen such a big world.

Looking at the two halves of people bouncing around in the room and moving separately.Sun Kongkong stood there with a dull expression, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

After the front desk finally put their heads together, Jiang Ying sat opposite him and asked curiously, "You know me?"

It was inconvenient for the front desk to nod, so he could only reply with a smile: "Yes sir, there is no one in this city who does not know you, and the gentleman beside you."

Seeing that he was able to communicate well, Jiang Ying's tone softened a lot, "Why do you know me, who am I?"

There was an expression of admiration in the eyes of the receptionist, and his two halves of the body tried to bend an arc, as if bowing to Jiang Ying.

"You are the master of this city, our protector, and the greatest god."

The more Jiang Ying listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the front desk respectfully say: "You are the head of the gods, the lord of time and space."

Jiang Ying's face darkened.

Ok, another liar.

If he is that time and space lord, why would the three camps dare to step on his head and dance disco?

What has he been tossed into, which god would be as miserable as him, this strength setting is simply unreasonable.

He shouldn't have listened to Sun Kongkong for being gentle with monsters.

Jiang Ying rolled up her sleeves and walked to the front desk.

Now he wants to use his own method to make this strange thing talk to him properly.

————

At the same time, the exhausted Le Qiubai walked into an empty ward.

This is the place he and Liu Dangran agreed upon.

Since the disappearance of Jiang Ying and Sun Kongkong, the two of them have carried out a carpet search in the hospital.

But there was no sign of those three people anywhere, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

During the search, Le Qiubai also found that the two men in black robes that Jiang Ying brought back to the hospital were also missing.

He only found the suitcase that the man in black had been holding around near the archives.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Le Qiubai opened the suitcase.

There were no clues he was expecting, just a pile of rotten meat.

There is also a card next to the rotten meat, which reads - "To our favorite captain"

Le Qiubai didn't dare to think about what this puddle of meat was, he quickly sealed the box and carefully put it in a corner.

Five or six hours had passed since Jiang Ying and the others disappeared.

Jiang Ying named the broken mirror man experimental subject A102, and the government army agent Yun Chongyi, and woke up several times in the middle.

If it wasn't for Le Qiubai and Liu Dangran who got the needles in time, these two important prisoners would have escaped long ago.

Le Qiubai firmly believes that Jiang Ying is definitely not dead. If such a powerful person dies in the hospital, will he and Liu Dangran still survive?

Facing the moon for a while, Le Qiubai looked at his phone while eating bread to satisfy his hunger.

He opened the alliance lobby app, and a message popped up, it was Liu Dangran who sent him a private message.

The rich woman was hungry: "I always felt that something was wrong on the negative floor, because those mud monsters came up from there. Xiao Sun also disappeared after investigating the negative floor."

The rich woman is hungry: "I just gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and went to the negative floor to have a look. Now there are no monsters over there, it looks normal, but the footprints on the ground are abnormal."

Le Qiubai scrolled down and saw a picture.

There are some messy footprints on the picture, as well as traces of snakes crawling.

At the end of these footprints is a wall.

The rich woman is hungry: "There must be something weird about this wall. There may be a door hidden, which can only be opened by triggering the mechanism. I didn't find a way to open the mechanism, but I found something tightly wrapped in paper towels on the opposite side of the wall.", It’s like a voice recorder.”

After Liu Dangran sent a photo, he didn't say anything, he should be rushing back.

Le Qiubai stared at the photo for a while, but didn't see any tricks.

He was about to put away his phone when he suddenly saw messages popping up from a nearby channel.

Le Qiubai curiously clicked to enter. It was two other players who were sending messages for help.

Lonely Night: "Just after 0 o'clock, a few people wearing protective clothing and big helmets broke into the Taoist temple directly and asked the Taoist priests to hand over the small clay statues. The atmosphere is very strange and tense."

Little Moon: "You also appeared over there? Just now I went out to buy supper, and when I came back, I saw people in protective clothing breaking into my character's community."

Little Moon: "The doorman asked who they were, and his head was blown off! The two policemen who came to check the situation were also stabbed to death!"

Little Moon: "I heard what they said to silence, my God, they seem to be looking for me! My God!"

Lonely Night: "Fuck, fuck, the Taoist temple I was in was slaughtered! The machine gun bursts out, fuck!!!"

It happened so suddenly that Le Qiubai felt chills down his spine.

At this moment, there was a knock on the closed door of the ward.

Le Qiubai was about to get up and go to open the door when he suddenly saw a notification pop up in the private chat channel from the corner of his eye.

The rich woman is hungry: "A bunch of strange people came to the hospital. The corridors and elevators were blocked. I can't go back. Just now, the broken mirror had a conflict with this group of people. I took advantage of the chaos to untie A102 and Yun Chongyi.Now the three of us are fleeing outside the hospital, you run too!"

The rich woman was hungry: "They killed a lot of doctors and nurses, and they were very ruthless. Don't get caught. You are on the second floor, you can't afford to jump down, go!"

After reading the news, Le Qiubai broke out in cold sweat instantly.

Liu Dangran couldn't go up to the second floor and had already left. Who was the one knocking on the door?

Le Qiubai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He grabbed the suitcase with rotten meat on the side with one hand, and Jiang Ying's backpack he found from the staff dormitory with the other, and temporarily put them into his small space.

The knock on the door became more and more urgent. The man outside the door was very strong, and the door of the ward was about to be smashed by him.

Le Qiubai gritted his teeth, turned and rushed to the window.

The moment he ran to the window, he reached out and wanted to grab the window sill.

A woman's head suddenly rose from the window.

Le Qiubai squatted down abruptly, leaning his back against the wall and covering his mouth with both hands.

This is the second floor, how can a normal person stand on the first floor and stand out on the second floor.

There was a sound of mechanical activity above his head, Le Qiubai raised his head and looked over carefully.

The woman's head slowly poked into the room, and under the reflection of the moonlight, her skin showed an obvious metallic luster.

The woman looked around the room, but she didn't find Le Qiubai hiding under her nose.

Seeing the woman leave the room, Le Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief.

He vaguely heard the woman whisper: "President, No. 0 and 7013 are not in the hospital. If they stay here, they will conflict with the three major factions. Should we withdraw?"

Le Qiubai's eyes widened in surprise.

Three camps?

It's so familiar, Brother Ying also said it.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Le Qiubai was about to get up and leave quickly.

At this moment, the woman who had just left suddenly raised her head from the window again, still muttering softly.

"Hey? I haven't seen this room just now, why don't I have any impression of it. Tsk, my rusty broken head is really delaying... things?"

Le Qiubai was holding the window sill with one hand, and the woman's chin was resting against the window.

The two looked at each other, and the woman grinned, "Ah, I caught it."
