Wanbao Lady

What happened? Why are you back here again?

And why did the innkeeper say the same thing as before?

He looked around again and saw that there were still the same diners around, looking at them with the same expression as before.

Fang Cen was filled with doubt and confusion, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

He just took a deep look upstairs, and then said to the green-robed detective beside him: "Shi Xing, take people to the third floor Tianzi No. 1 room to check, those people should be inside."

Although the green-robed detective beside him was surprised as to why his boss knew so much in detail, he still took his men and left.

Fang Cen watched his subordinates walk to the door, break the barrier outside the door with violent force, then open the door and stride in.

But as soon as they walked in, they were all knocked out, fell down the stairs in a mess, and knocked down many of the guardrails on the upper floor.

At the same time, the door closed automatically.

Fang Cen hurriedly walked forward and asked, "How is it? Did you see those people inside?"

The green-robed detective stood up, holding his chest and shaking his head.

"No, I was knocked out by an unknown force as soon as I entered. I didn't see anyone, only thick fog inside."

Fang Cen looked at his other subordinates, "What about you?"

The other subordinates also shook their heads and said that they had not seen anyone.

The green-robed detective named Shi Xing asked, "Could it be that they deliberately set up some kind of defensive formation in the room, which would be triggered if someone trespassed?"

Fang Cen nodded.

"possible."

Then he asked again: "Did you see a blinding white light in there?"

All the subordinates shook their heads.

Didn’t you see it?

Why didn't they see anything when they went in, but I saw a white light when I went in, and then I returned to the time when I first entered the inn?

Looking at the tightly closed door of Room No. 1 upstairs, Fang Cen remained silent.

In order to confirm what he was thinking, he simply went upstairs in person.

He scratched a bloody mark on his palm with his fingernail, then punched the door open and strode in.

However, the exact same situation as last time occurred.

Seeing a strong white light coming, Fang Cen immediately covered his eyes.

next second.

"I am Huang Kezhong, the owner of the Dengxian Inn. I wonder what business you have in visiting my Dengxian Inn?"

Fang Cen lowered his arm.

Looking at the innkeeper in front of him, whose smile was mixed with a hint of trepidation, he began to feel a chill in his heart.

He ignored the innkeeper's question and looked at his palm instead.

There are no scars.

When the subordinate behind him was about to answer the innkeeper's question, Fang Cen interrupted him in time and said in a stiff tone: "Shi Xing, did I do anything in the inn just now?"

Stoning:?

Although he didn't know what his boss meant, he still answered honestly: "No, we just stepped into the inn!"

As he said this, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, that's right! Boss, you just suddenly covered your eyes with your hands, and then stared at your palms in a daze. Does this count?"

Fang Cen looked at the lively expressions of his men, then looked at the people around him who were behaving in the same way as before, and unconsciously tightened his weapon.

Illusion?

Or an illusion?

Or...is time going backwards?

No, no, no, turning back time is something that even the most top-notch monks would find difficult to do. It should be impossible.

If it was an illusion, when did I fall into it?

If it is an illusion array, then how big is the range of the array? Does it only include this Dengxian Inn, or a larger area?

Do these people around me really exist or are they just illusions?

Questions popped up one after another, making Fang Cen feel a little annoyed.

In order to judge the situation, he simply stopped rushing upstairs and turned to Shi Xing beside him and said, "Let me ask you, before you were injured by the evil cultivator, you fell behind and hid yourself, where did I find and rescue you?"

"Boss, why are you suddenly asking this?" Shi Xing was puzzled.

But seeing his boss's serious expression, he answered honestly: "Well, it was in a reed marsh. You saved me there, boss!"

Fang Cen was silent.

Only he and the person involved in the stoning knew about this matter.

Therefore, it is still impossible to judge whether the stoning in front of us is real or fake.

He then asked several more questions, even to different subordinates, and there was no doubt about anyone's answers.

Everything was normal, as if he was the only abnormal one.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Looking at the worried eyes of his subordinates, Fang Cen felt a chill in his heart.

He took a deep look at Room No. 1 on the third floor, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Then he left the inn first.

If this is an illusion, I want to see how big the range of this formation is!

The group of detectives looked at each other, but still followed Fang Cen away.

On the main street of Fangshi.

Fang Cen walked while observing his surroundings carefully.

The shops are still the same shops, and people come and go, but because of their presence, they cast strange glances at them.

The surrounding buildings were no different from before, and pedestrians moved freely.

The sounds of conversation, bargaining, and shouting were all pretty much the same as before.

Everything is normal.

It's not like he hadn't experienced illusion arrays before.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that there are inevitably loopholes in some places.

What repetitive sounds, repetitive images, the distortion of certain building corners, and occasionally the unnatural expressions of some passers-by.

Etc., etc.

But he saw none of these.

It seems like this is really the real world.

Fang Cen stopped, asked all his men to stay on standby, and rushed towards Dengxian Inn.

He went up to the third floor and opened the door.

In a flash of white light, he returned to the starting point.

Looking at the innkeeper's worried smile and all his subordinates following him closely, Fang Cen's heart sank to the bottom.

Unconvinced, he ran a long distance again, even leaving the market town, and returned to the Demon Suppression Division along the same route.

Yet everything was still normal.

Afterwards, he set out from the Demon Suppression Division and rushed back to the Dengxian Inn at lightning speed, went upstairs and opened the door.

There was a flash of white light, and then it returned to its original position.

Fang Cen was almost laughing out of anger.

Fake!all fake!

The surrounding environment is fake!

The subordinates around me are also fake!

I must be under an illusion!

Yes, I must have been under an illusion!

Fang Cen now really wanted to smash the entire inn to pieces with one palm, and also smash that strange room to pieces as well.

But his reason told him that it was better not to do so.

Because based on previous experience in handling cases, if the person who was under the illusion went on a killing spree in the illusion, he would most likely go on a killing spree in reality as well.

By then, the only ones who will suffer are those around you.

He didn't know when he started to be under the illusion.

But what he was sure of was that in reality, all his subordinates had been following him all the way from the Demon Suppression Bureau to the inn.

If he used force in the illusion, it would be very likely that his subordinates would be the first to bear the brunt in reality.

Therefore, this is the worst option unless it is absolutely necessary.
