Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 166 Mr. Yi

This miniature courtyard is not even as big as a stool. The eaves and red doors inside are lifelike, and there are many little people placed inside.

The sudden movement startled them and they became subconsciously alert, but they soon discovered that this thing was not aggressive at all.

At least it's not offensive now.

"These may be objects that have lost control of Zhongcheng. After Zhongcheng fell, these objects no longer have owners."

A person next to him said this, with a glimmer of greed in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to take the thing for himself.

But the next second, there was a "crack" in the sky!
It cracked open, and a huge world of black haze crashed in, eating away everything inch by inch and bit by bit.

Light realm!

They looked up at the sky in horror, and the whole world became dark at this moment.

"Light Realm!"

Zeng Guijin raised his head abruptly. This was too abrupt. "Although Zhongcheng fell, according to the data, it was not caused by Dengjing."

Could it be that those things brought out Dengjing again?

"Captain, these are the three Light Realms that caused the fall of Bell City last time. Now they have merged into one, almost achieving a qualitative change!"

Li Chuiyue compared the features and quickly locked onto the source of the light, but this also made his heart sink.

"It's terrible. The last time the three realms merged into one, the Light Realm, appeared in Zhongcheng, it was our Mucheng's out-of-control level that attacked. In addition, Zhongcheng's out-of-control and self-awakening helped to push it back."

"But now the one who lost control of Zhong Cheng, who has not been heard from yet, is already dead. We have no way to deal with this behemoth."

A look of worry appeared on his face. He had not yet completely entered Bell City, so he was not included in the Light Realm.

The rolling black haze in front of us clearly shows danger and death.

"Oh no, the brothers inside probably can't get out."

They looked grim, and they were afraid that they would not be able to complete the most important task this time.

In the sky, Chen Ning'an's face was indifferent. He didn't want to make such a big fuss and let the Dengjing crash into the human world.

But he had to do so. The handwriting left by the ghosts could actually make them appear again. He saw the courtyard through the eyes of the Lord of the Cold Corpse Realm.

If it happens again, he doesn't have the mood or time to deal with it. Besides, the transportation and network in Mucheng are not like those in Zhongcheng, which can easily spread to various places in Xinqin.

He and the other party had already been enemies for a long time. If the other party becomes stronger and searches for him...

Therefore, it is better for these things to be buried forever in Zhongcheng.

As soon as he thought of it, a talisman broke through the black haze like a bolt of lightning and hit the team's heads fiercely, and even smashed into the mini courtyard.

"boom!"

Muffled thunder sounded in the light realm, and that area was completely destroyed. He would not allow anything to be left out.

Chen Ning'an originally wanted to leave or hide directly. He planned to kill Zeng Guijin and others, or make them into paper figures.

But he took one last look at the courtyard and discovered something unexpected.

The thunder talisman was so powerful that it blew up the ground, revealing a large alloy door underneath.

Although the gate was charred, it was not damaged, and the nearby facilities appeared extremely clean.

This definitely doesn't look like it has been covered in dust for a long time.

Chen Ning'an moved his feet and rode the strong wind into the black haze.

His strength was terrifying, and now he felt like a fish in water when he entered the Light Realm again, and soon he arrived in front of the metal door.

The gate is embedded in the ground and is surrounded by underground passages. It seems that there are codes on it.

Unfortunately, this password was useless to Chen Ningan. He held the door with one hand and punched it hard.

With the power of his body surging, Chen Ning'an thought he could smash the door open with one punch.

But the result was beyond his expectation. His upper body slipped out due to the recoil force, and he felt a sharp pain in his waist and fell heavily to the ground.

This fall almost caused his soul to fall out. It turned out that his upper body had not yet fully matched with his lower body. He was still in the recovery period and could not engage in intense fighting.

At least, we have to wait a few more months for the broken part to heal.

He had no choice but to put his body back together and then slide his fingers on the iron door.

This is not difficult for a warlock. The fire rune is engraved on the door, bringing an extremely concentrated high temperature.

No matter how powerful the iron gate was, the metal gradually turned red. Chen Ningan threw out another wind talisman and successfully blew it open.

But this material is very hard.

He paid attention and the view behind the gate immediately appeared before his eyes.

The first thing you see is the pipe.

Big pipes, small pipes, densely packed, everywhere.

Going down the stairs, there are pipes all around the flat ground. It is impossible to tell what material these things are made of, just like blood vessels.

He kept walking forward and could see a disgusting "tumor"-like thing at a certain connection point of the pipe.

Waving the dagger in his hand, Chen Ningan cut the tube open with one stroke, revealing what was inside.

Flesh and blood, clumps of flesh and blood, some the size of fists or small men, immediately scattered out. When they came into contact with the air, they were immediately oxidized, turned black, and even squirmed for a moment.

Then, it stopped moving.

Walking along the endless and interconnected passages, Chen Ningan found a house somewhere.

This seemed to be a laboratory, and to his surprise, there seemed to be signs of human life inside the laboratory.

He began to step, and his leather shoes made a crisp "ticking" sound against the floor.

This seems to be a laboratory, with information and incomprehensible instruments everywhere.

There is a table, a trash can, and a bowl of steaming instant noodles.

"hehe."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and sniffed the air.

No food could stay warm for so long, and it seemed that there were some little mice that survived here.

This was something he had not expected, it could almost be said that it was hiding right under his nose.

…………

Outside, Zeng Guijin kept looking at the black haze.

"Who knows how big the Light Realm is. They can't get out even if they want to."

Everyone did not give up and wanted to wait a little longer to see if there were any other colleagues running out of the clock city, but after waiting for a long time, no one was seen.

Li Chuiyue moved his feet several times until he reached the dark corner and raised his foot to walk in.

But he didn't do it in the end. It would be useless even if more people went in. The Light Realm was extremely dangerous, not to mention that it was not the Light Realm of Mu City. They had no more information at all.

"Captain, there's a letter from Mucheng."

Suddenly, another team member came running over, holding a cell phone and saying, "There's a call for you, and it hasn't been hung up yet."

The phone above?
Zeng Guijin immediately became serious, took the phone and formally reported:
"New Qinmu City, Zeng Guijin from the outer city department, report!"

He listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and was shocked for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Yes, we will definitely complete the task!"

After the call was hung up, the team members came forward and asked, "Captain, what did the higher-ups say?"

"A great man is coming to help us!" Zeng Guijin's face was filled with excitement. "He is definitely a great man that none of you have ever seen. Even I have only heard of his name."

"You probably don't know Mr. Yi, but he's very scary."

Zeng Guijin mentioned this name. He was the team leader and had just met this person.

"Is he a very powerful Lantern Bearer? Is he at the level of Guiding? No, Guiding is not even good enough to come here like us. He is even more powerful... afraid of the dark?"

Li Chuiyue guessed with inquiry in his eyes.

If it is really at this level, then this mission will obviously be much easier to solve. Maybe they just need to do some odd jobs.

Of course, the reward will definitely be deducted, but under the current circumstances, he is willing to deduct the reward!

Li Chuiyue was waiting for an answer, but he found that the look in Captain Zeng Guijin's eyes was ambiguous.

"He... should actually be an ordinary person."

Ordinary people?

Li Chuiyue had a lot of questions in his mind and wanted to ask more, but the captain told him not to think too much and that he would understand it soon.

This Mr. Yi is no simple person. There are not many people who can be called Mr. in Mucheng.

Soon, a helicopter came roaring in, and the airflow brought by the helicopter blew people and horses around.

According to the normal operating procedures, the helicopter will not land, and the combat personnel inside will descend via a rope ladder.

But it was different here. The helicopter blew away a large amount of supplies and stopped in a very high-profile manner.

"Who is this captain? Why is he so arrogant?"

Li Chuiyue and Zeng Guijin couldn't help asking, "All our things were blown away."

"Don't talk, just follow me to pick someone up."

Zeng Guijin didn't care about these and took his team members to meet them.

The propeller slowly stopped, and the door of the armed helicopter opened. The first people to come out were special forces soldiers, who stood guard all around in a serious manner.

They were all for the safety of the personal bodyguard inside.

Behind the soldiers, a pair of shiny leather shoes slowly stretched out.

A man in a neat suit came down. He had a handsome face and a tall stature. At first glance, one could tell that he must be a high-ranking official.

Mr. Yi walked down, his steps landing slowly on the ground, and saw Zeng Guijin at first sight.

"Captain Zeng?"

Although he used a question mark, his tone was extremely firm.

"It's me!" Zeng Guijin quickly replied, "Mr. Yi, it's great that you can come. We were just wondering what to do."

"My name is Yi Wu."

Mr. Yi said to him: "You don't have to be so polite. After all, I am just an ordinary person. I still need to thank you for protecting Mucheng."

"Mr. Yi, what you said really scares me. If it weren't for you, Mucheng would have fallen long ago, just like Zhongcheng right in front of us."

He can't be so foolish as to accept people's politeness to him. If he really calls this person Yi Wu, he will be demoted tomorrow.

There are too many people who want to be attentive to Mr. Yi, and helping him solve the problems that make him unhappy will undoubtedly increase his favorability.

Mr. Yi smiled and walked towards the boundary of the light realm to observe.

Zeng Guijin was very perceptive. He nudged Li Chuiyue with his elbow and said, "Go and tell this person about the current situation. Leave a good impression on him. Your opportunity will come!"

Li Chuiyue was touched. He knew that it was the captain who was supporting him, so he hurriedly explained the current situation here in detail.

"Yeah, it's pretty much the same as in the information."

Mr. Yi nodded and smiled, "I have studied it in heaven, just wait a moment."

He put his hand on the "invisible wall" of the light realm and closed his eyes.

After a while, Mr. Yi said, "Three hours later, go to the right and you will find the entrance to this mission."

Just close your eyes and raise your hand for a while and you will know?
Li Chuiyue had more questions and he looked at his captain.

In fact, Zeng Guijin also had doubts, but he knew that doing so must be right.

Such a big shot wouldn't bother playing tricks on little guys like them.

"Okay Mr. Yi, we'll go in after three hours!"

He quickly agreed, and Mr. Yi nodded and walked to a stool beside him and sat down.

He just came to say a few words?
Obviously not. These people don’t know the magic of Mr. Yi. This man... is a master who is known for predicting the future!

At this time, Chen Ningan in Zhongcheng had already walked around the laboratory twice.

"It's hidden really well."

He spoke, sighing in the empty room.

"Unfortunately, when it comes to finding people, I don't know how many times I've read the hexagrams. In my previous life, I was able to locate the exact city even if they were far away from me."

The place where he was standing seemed to have no gap with the surrounding area, but if you look closely, you can find that the gap is slightly larger than the other floors.

Eyes closed over his exposed skin and he moved lightly across the floor.

"Tick, tick, tick~"

The echo rang out in the empty space, but Chen Ning'an was not in a hurry as he had plenty of time.

As I moved, the sound of hollow drums lingered under my feet.

Underground, a man had cold sweat on his forehead, and the handle he was holding at the tunnel entrance had turned white.

The footsteps seemed to be wandering around like a devil, and what frightened him even more was that the footsteps were moving above the passage without retreating at all.

When something unusual happened in Zhongcheng, he was still working, diligently maintaining the normal operation of various facilities here, but suddenly, he discovered that the transportation to these pipelines had stopped.

So he understood that something must have happened in Zhongcheng. The signal disappeared and the communication was cut off. He didn't dare to go to the ground and just kept hiding.

He originally thought that he would be safe for a while at most, but such a long time has passed without any news, he felt like he was forgotten.

But today, the nearest entrance and exit suddenly turned red, and someone broke in!
No, maybe that's not a person.

He groped in his arms tremblingly, where there was a stone. As long as there was something strange, the stone would heat up. This was a small benefit given to them by their superiors.

Now this stone is so hot that the person on it is not a human at all.

This is also the reason why he was so scared. The "ticking" sound of footsteps was like the death knell in the hands of the god of death.

Pushing him to death step by step.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

Fu Yungao's heart almost stopped, and then he heard heavy breathing coming from above his head.

"Hey, hey, you're not coming out, right?"

The sudden sound scared him so much that he almost screamed, and the next second, he saw four fingers piercing the hard tile floor.

That hand was dry and pale, like a corpse.

"Crack," the floor cracked and the entrance to the tunnel was slowly pulled up.
