Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 158 The style of the city is completely different
I don’t know whether this is a rat crossing the street or a tiger blocking the road.

The young man looked at him from a distance. He had no other conspicuous decorations on his body.

"what's up?"

He asked calmly, looking the man over.

He didn't like to use the Qi-Watching Technique unless it was necessary because it was too painful, and this person might not be an enemy.

"My friend, the city ahead is Mucheng."

The young man smiled at him and said, "You came from Zhongcheng. We found out the moment you left. If it's not necessary, Mucheng... doesn't welcome you very much."

His words revealed rejection, rejection of all living beings from Zhongcheng.

It's not just because of this incident, but also because the quality, behavior and environment of the people in Zhongcheng are not friendly.

Among the surrounding cities, Zhongcheng is famous for its poor condition.

"What if I have to go in?"

Chen Ningan said sternly: "No one came to stop me last time I came."

"Things are different now. You should also be aware of the changes that have occurred in Bell City."

The man was still very polite and did not change because of the bad attitude of the person in front of him.

"You also know that things are different now. If I can get out of Bell City, I can naturally enter your Mu City, so you'd better get out of the way."

He was in a good mood today and didn't want to disturb Yazhi because of a trivial matter.

He had some yearning for life in Mu City, taking walks, cultivating his mind, and then looking for opportunities in the realm of lights, alternating between tension and relaxation, advance and retreat.

This is in line with the principles of yin and yang and is the correct way of life.

Chen Ning'an took a step forward, which made the young man's expression change slightly. He felt the pressure.

The man who escaped really had something. He was already a guide, and all he needed was the finishing touch. But at this moment, his palms were sweating and his scalp was numb.

"Li Chuiyue, let him in."

Suddenly a voice sounded from not far away, it was a voice of a slightly older middle-aged man.

When he saw him, Chen Ning'an felt the familiar aura of Ye An, but this person seemed much more tactful.

"But……"

Li Chuiyue opened his mouth but let it go.

"Oh?"

Chen Ning'an was a little surprised. The strength of this lantern bearer was almost at the level of a guide. It could be said that he only needed a territory lord to issue approval.

But he actually listened to the orders of an ordinary Ye An person.

It seems that he still knows a little bit about Mucheng, which is completely different from Zhongcheng.

Is this an isolated case, or is it the case for everyone?
He looked at the Ye An man meaningfully, and the other party handed him a business card with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Zeng Guijin. This is my business card. On the back is the official website of the Lantern Bearer of Mucheng. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to ask me."

This attitude is too good.

Chen Ningan nodded: "Maybe I will use it soon."

He got back into the car and it whizzed past the highway toll booth.

Looking at the vehicles going away, Li Chuiyue asked in confusion: "Team Leader, why should we let them in?"

He knew the inside story: "These people may not be qualified as citizens of New Qin. We may have to collect their bodies soon."

Zeng Guijin chuckled and said slowly: "Our Mucheng is a city of humanities with thousands of years of history. Shouldn't we take in refugees?"

"What's more, these people's strength may not be lower than yours. If a conflict really breaks out, your life will be threatened."

He patted Li Chuiyue on the shoulder and said, "You are my subordinate, I am responsible for your safety."

This touched Li Chuiyue. The most important thing in Mucheng is unity. It is because of unity that they have the wonderful life they have today.

"I'll go check on these people. The cameras on the highway have captured their faces."

He started to move. Although the team leader was generous, he still had to ensure stability and safety.

If we let in a wild beast that could go crazy at any time, it would definitely affect everyone's happiness.

…………

Unlike Zhongcheng, the transportation in Mucheng is more developed. There are more than ten toll booths entering the city alone, unlike Zhongcheng, which only has one entrance and one exit.

"What do you think of Mucheng?"

Playing with the business card in his hand, Chen Ningan asked the three people in the car.

"Sir, we rarely come to Bell City for activities."

Zhang Yi said to him, "Zhongcheng rarely has foreign trade, and the school has set up majors. Basically, we have no reason to leave the city."

He was quite confused while speaking.

"What a coincidence! This is my second time in Mucheng. The last time I came, I really didn't have any materials to buy in Zhongcheng, so I had no choice but to come to Mucheng to purchase."

Su Mei didn't say anything. If she said that, the girl would have no chance to leave the city, let alone have any opinion about Mucheng.

“Most of what we know is from what we see on the Internet.”

As Su Mei spoke, she took out the mobile phone that Zhong Cheng picked up casually, and saw some promotional advertisements for Mucheng on it.

Such as a thousand-year-old ancient city, the hometown of Marshal Xin Qin, or a city of humanities, etc.

“This city looks interesting.”

Chen Ning'an took his eyes off his phone and after driving for a long time, he gradually saw villages and towns and entered the city.

"Drip~"

The sound of traffic was immediately transmitted from all around into the car. Other cars were bright and shiny, but their car had been baptized by gunfire to some extent and looked very dirty.

"Dirty cars, polluted cars, and soot-filled cars are prohibited from entering the city."

Traffic enforcers stopped them and asked them to wash their cars before entering the city.

"Listen to him."

Chen Ningan gave the order, and Tian Bo asked him, "Sir, where are we going now?"

After all, this is our first time here, and we are all unfamiliar with the place, like headless flies.

"Go to Jiang'an Community."

He thought of an address, and this was the only place he remembered.

Mr. Liao’s residence is 501, Unit , Building !

The opponent has been dealt with by him and turned into food, so according to the principle of spoils of war, he can also move into the opponent's residence.

"Ok sir."

Tian Bo turned the car around. Of course, they were not qualified to live with Chen Ningan, so they just moved their things in and then found their own residence.

Since they had the valuable goods obtained in Zhongcheng, they did not need to worry about the economy. Chen Ningan asked them to adapt to the place and start spreading the name of [Xian] after they understood the situation clearly.

There is no "immortal" in this world. Now that Cheng Ning'an has arrived, he will inevitably become a synonym for this word.

By then, even if he died, one day he would be able to walk out from the long river of time like a [ghost] or [god].

He then wandered around Mr. Liao's room.

Unlike most people's rooms, Mr. Liao's room is mostly filled with seasonings and cooking utensils. In a house of more than 200 square meters, the kitchen alone occupies 100 square meters, with five refrigerators and even a brick kiln on the stove.

In addition, large ovens, steamers, and jars as tall as a person are also everywhere.

With his nose twitching, Chen Ning'an opened an upside-down jar, and the contents inside were immediately exposed.

"Mr. Liao is a very good person."

He sighed that there were still a lot of materials and kitchen utensils left, enough for him to use for a while.

In addition, he also wanted to find out whether this out-of-control existence had other "things" hidden.

But he was disappointed, the room was very clean and there was nothing good about it.

That's right, who would hide their stuff in the room openly? Even he hid his stuff in several places.

that's too regretful.

Chen Ning'an didn't feel disappointed. He had been in a very happy mood recently.

The world also looks different. Although mortals struggle and suffer in the world, they have to admit that it is these tortures that make the gains taste sweeter.

That evening, he opened the Lantern Man website of Mucheng and browsed the topics on the forum.

This is the most direct way to understand the dark side of this city.

[Team formation: Lantern Carrying in Wuzhong Community, requires at least ten lantern carrying experiences.

Mission reward: 500 new Qin coins. 】

Ok?
Something was wrong with this, so he continued browsing.

[I'm asking Jinghu Lantern Realm to help me. I'm stuck at a critical point and I need some materials urgently. I hope someone with a lantern can help me. I'm willing to pay half of what I earn from the lantern. 】

[The official has released some new information about Mid-Levels Light Realm, the content is as follows... I hope everyone will remember it as soon as possible. 】

This dreamlike atmosphere surprised Chen Ning'an so much that he thought for a moment that he had traveled through time again.

But the situation inside his body told him that this was not a time travel, Mu City was so amazing and special.

Why is this happening?
Is this the real New Qin, and Zhongcheng is an exception?

No, that's not right. There must be something hidden in here. Chen Ningan believed in his intuition and continued to browse. Most of them were about team building and tasks.

Finally, he came across something unusual.

[Night Goodnight Group 105 is recruiting new lantern holders. Please help forward this. The job benefits are as follows:
1: Except for emergencies, we have holidays, two days off a week, and pay six insurances and one fund.

10: Get 15%-% commission for each task.

3: Enjoy priority and stable S value treatment. 】

Chen Ningan keenly noticed something wrong with this last point, and he searched the forum for the S value.

S value, also known as SAN value, is the foreign abbreviation for sanity and is generally used to directly represent sanity.

As seen above, this priority treatment for clearing S value may be like a panacea for Zhongcheng.

The authorities always have something to control ordinary people, so Chen Ningan felt a little relieved, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.

So Mr. Liao is an [out of control] being, but he is able to maintain the sanity of living people. Maybe this is related to it?

Maybe he'll understand once he holds up the lamp.

As he continued to learn more, he discovered that in order to carry the lantern, he had to join Ye An's recruitment.

Every lantern spot is precious. Unlike Zhongcheng, Mucheng is very strict about the lantern spots. Even if you are a cancer patient, no exception will be made for you.

This is surprising. Without threatening their lives, why would others be willing to work for you?

Chen Ning'an looked at the recruitment vacancies for Group 105 above, thought about it, and somehow clicked to apply.

"It's really ironic. I would never join Ye An in Zhongcheng, but I applied for it after only being in Mucheng for a day or two."

He laughed at himself, his eyes twinkling.

After understanding it clearly, you can draw more paper man talismans. The amount of Qi that a lantern man can raise is much greater than that of an ordinary person.

Of course, he thought that with so many applicants, how could he be selected? So he thought more about how to find out through other means.

"I shouldn't have let those two go when I first came in."

He felt a little regretful. It was a mistake to let them go because he was in such a good mood. The Yin-Yang principle of the rise and fall of one while the other falls was indeed mysterious.

But now he might as well let it go, so he picked up the phone and prepared to call Zeng Guijin.

It’s not too late to make an appointment and take action again.

But before he could make the call, a text message came on his phone, telling him:
[Congratulations on your successful registration. Your file has been officially saved. Please report to the Jinhe Building at 3 pm tomorrow for pre-job training.]

Was he really chosen?
How is this possible? According to the customs of Mucheng, lantern bearers are all highly paid, and their jobs are as good as having a stable job.

He doesn't believe in coincidences, so there is only one answer: all those who registered were selected.

"Haha, it seems that this Mu City is not as sunny as it seems."

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, he arrived at the entrance of Jinhe Building on time. This is Ye'an's headquarters.

It is called a building, but in fact it is an entire park. After entering the gate, the atmosphere of the lantern men can be seen everywhere, and their conversations can be heard constantly.

"It's exciting to talk about it. I thought I would die in the lantern world last time, but guess what? I survived. I was lucky enough to guess the weird pattern."

"Alas, I didn't learn magic. That lamp realm is indeed one of the most difficult to conquer. Ten thousand new Qin coins are gone. Alas..."

Chen Ning'an walked to the door of Jinhe Building, but found that people kept coming out.

"I didn't pass the exam, and they said my willpower wasn't up to par. What a shame."

"I hate it! Why? I was just this close. I was almost able to become Superman!"

There are also Ye Ans next to these people to maintain order and prevent anyone from leaving.

"This way. To ensure confidentiality, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and then we'll send you off."

Although he said so, Chen Ning'an saw some Ye'an people holding instruments in a car in the distance.

They should be brainwashed. These people will forget everything they saw here. Chen Ningan has seen that kind of instrument. It actually contains a drug.

He noticed that each of these people had a needle prick on their arm.

"Are you Group 105 here for pre-job training? This way."

As soon as he entered the building, someone noticed him and enthusiastically pulled Chen Ning'an inside.

"Brother, if you pass, we will be colleagues in the future. Let me tell you the process first."

"First we'll draw blood to verify your eligibility, and then we'll test your willpower. Just follow your heart and don't be nervous. The results will be out in a few minutes."

blood draw?

Chen Ning'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blood in his body seemed to no longer be liquid.

I have to find a way to get through this stage.

"Come in, it'll be quick to draw blood."

The man took him into a room and closed the door.

It was pitch black inside.

Chen Ning'an felt that something was moving in the darkness, approaching him.

"Don't worry, it will be quick. Don't be afraid of not being able to see it. This is also part of the pre-job training."
