Chapter 450 - The Legend of the Cross Slope
Chapter 450: The Legend of the Cross Slope
“The cross slope in the northern suburbs of the capital?”Ling Ping’an looked at the back of the man and chuckled.
He took out his phone and searched for the name of the place.
In the end, he couldn’t find anything other than some marketing numbers.
Moreover, even these marketing numbers were all talking nonsense.
The general format was the same.
“I believe that everyone has heard of the dangerous cross slope in the northern suburbs of the capital, right?”
“Then, does everyone want to know why this place is so dangerous?”
“It is said that many people once encountered some unclean things at the cross slope at midnight!”
“Alright, the above is the story about the cross slope. I wonder if everyone likes it?”
Other than that, the information about this place was basically clean.
Ling Ping’an smiled radiantly. “Another boring urban legend?”
“Let me break this legend!”
This was his favorite thing to do.
However, before that, he had to fill his stomach first.
Therefore, he carried his cat and walked to the private kitchen.
…
Chu Wen walked out of the Yan House.
He walked to Lu Xian, who was smoking. “Give me one!”
Lu Xian smiled and threw one to him.
Chu Wen picked it up lightly and snapped his fingers. The cigarette was lit up.
He took a deep breath and inhaled it into his lungs.
The spicy cigarette immediately filled his lungs and made his eyes start to tear up.
However, his entire vigor was suddenly roused.
“The Blackguard’s cigarettes are really strong!” He commented, “It requires points to buy… it’s boring!”
Although this cigarette could be bought with one point.
But the Blackguard’s points weren’t easy to earn!
Especially for a low-level transcendent being like him, every point needed to be saved up.
Lu Xian asked, “Brother Chu, do you think we can really have that kind of luck to meet that person and obtain an opportunity?”
Chu Wen took another deep breath and said fiercely, “It’s up to fate!”
“The night before last, hundreds of people in Monsoon Villa received benefits!”
“I heard that among the Fusang people, there was even one person who broke through to the rank of colonel in one night!”
“From major to colonel in one night, he was equivalent to a lifetime of someone else!”
To most people, the rank of colonel was like a ceiling.
Ever since the recovery of the Spirit Aura, most people could only touch the threshold of the rank of colonel before the Qi Blood, and Psionic Power in their bodies decayed.
However, to ordinary people, this was already considered very good.
A transcendent, even the weakest sergeant, had two to three times the physical fitness of an ordinary person.
Upon reaching the rank of lieutenant, one would basically have stepped into the door of transcendent being.
As long as one was willing, whether it was to go to a government department or a private enterprise, their annual salary would start from a million.
They could even receive a generous bonus every year.
But…
Very few people were willing to go.
Transcendent being, they were all free and ambitious.
Breakthrough… promotion…
Becoming strong, stronger, and even stronger was the common pursuit of all of them.
This was also the reason why so many transcendent being rushed into the Monsoon Villa overnight.
Furthermore, there was an endless stream of people rushing over from all directions.
The miracle of the Monsoon Villa spread throughout the entire world.
The two of them were considered the first batch of lucky people to rush over after hearing the news.
However, after working hard for an entire day, they didn’t get anything.
On the contrary, there were more and more competitors.
And the people of the Monsoon Villa also changed into the same attire as that Mr. X.
It was simply impossible for them to adapt.
Yet, they could only endure it.
This was the territory of the Blackguard!
Thinking of this, Chu Wen fiercely took a puff of his cigarette.
“Oh yes…” Lu Xian asked, “I saw you talking to someone just now… who is that person?”
Chu Wen smiled and said, “A young man who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth…”
“He even told me that he doesn’t believe in transcendent being or ghosts and gods… but he didn’t know that the person standing in front of him is a transcendent… moreover, a transcendent captain, a transcendent who can tear tigers and leopards apart and swallow gold and stones without changing his expression!”
At this point, Chu Wen narrowed his eyes and said, “I even made a bet with him…”
“What bet?” Lu Xian also felt that it was a little interesting.
Chu Wen chuckled. “Didn’t he say that he doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods?”
“I asked him to go to the northern suburbs’ cross slope after midnight tonight…”
When Lu Xian heard this, he shook his head. “Brother Chu, you’ve overdone it!”
“If he really goes there and someone dies, the Blackguard won’t let you off!” Chu Wen said with a smile
In the eyes of these people, the Blackguard was like an eagle and a dog in the imperial court.
The “Dongchang fan” in wuxia novels!
Which was a great villain!
However, the moment they faced the Blackguard, no one would not be unafraid.
And the Blackguard’s rule was to place ordinary people in transcendent being danger for no reason, it would be a capital crime!
It was treated as murder!
And to pay killing with one’s life was an iron law!
Over the years, the Blackguard had executed countless major-general who brought ordinary people into transcendent being’s danger.
Chu Wen shook his head, “How would an ordinary person have the guts to go to the cross slope? I’m afraid that even if he walked to the edge, he would be scared out of his wits!”
The cross slope…
It wasn’t a dangerous place.
It was a real ghost land!
At midnight, with a hundred ghosts traveling at night, it was known as the plentiful capital of the earth!
It was only because the Blackguard was suppressing those things that they obediently stayed in the cross slope.
Therefore, forget about being an ordinary person, even a transcendent being who approached the cross slope at midnight would feel fear and chills all over their body!
However, even though that was the case, Chu Wen’s heart was still pounding.
He even felt a little regretful.
“If that person really entered the cross slope… and something unexpected happened… Then I will be responsible!”
He was clear about the Blackguard’s rules.
Once there was a problem between a transcendent and an ordinary person, they would directly favor an ordinary person.
Just like how they would favor a low-level transcendent in a lawsuit between a high-level transcendent being and a low-level transcendent being.
Chu Wen had heard of it before. It was said that this was the theory of a certain great protector.
A strong person was incomparably powerful. In terms of strength, they had already crushed a low-level transcendent.
Therefore, the country and the law had to protect the interests and rights of those who couldn’t resist.
Especially when it involved property and murder cases!
Chu Wen therefore couldn’t help but turn around and look at the hall.
There were people walking in and out of the hall. Many of them were wearing clothes and cheap glasses from the supermarket.
But that person had already disappeared. Where did he go?
“Let’s look for him…”
“If he really went to cross slope… and if something happened to him… wouldn’t I be wronged?”
But…
“How did he look like?” Chu Wen tried hard to recall.
But…
That person’s appearance seemed to be covered in a layer of fog in his memory.
It was blurry and he didn’t have much of an impression.
For some reason, Chu Wen didn’t have any vigilance.
That was because that person was just a passerby.
He did not pay any attention to him, and it was normal for him to forget about him.
Hence, after thinking for a long time without any results, Chu Wen simply thought, “Forget it, I’ll work harder today. Go guard the intersection of the cross slope…”
The intersection slope had long been abandoned.
There was only one way in and out.
As long as he guarded it, it would not be a big problem.
Moreover, there were people from the Blackguard patrolling nearby to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering.
…
Ling Pingan was sitting in the imperial private kitchen.
He held his phone and looked up the information about the cross slope on the forums one by one.
He actually really found quite a lot.
For example, he obtained the account of a forum where fans of folklore gathered in the capital through an author in the author group…
At this moment, he was looking for something related to the cross slope in the private discussion area of this forum.
There were many records of the cross slope legends in this forum.
There were even people who had personally experienced it.
“The cross slope in the northern suburbs is indeed very strange!”
“I’ve been to many strange places over the years, but there’s really no place stranger than the cross slope…”
Ling Ping’an looked at a post posted by a person who claimed to have been to the cross slope.
He clicked on the “see only the poster” option and read the poster’s post one by one.
“There’s a chilly wind once it’s midnight… even I stood at the edge, I felt like I was in an ice cave…”
“Going further, there were the abandoned residential areas…”
“They’re covered in cobwebs and weeds…”
“There’s even blood on the road…”
Picture… picture..
“I took this picture at the end of a bridge…”
Picture.
Ling Ping’an zoomed in on the picture and saw a blurry object rising and falling in the darkness in the distance.
He shrugged. “That’s it?”
How should he describe this photo?
It was the level of the photo of the monster of the Ness Lake in Butania.
As he continued to read, he saw the description of the poster.
“When I saw these things… I was so scared that I froze on the spot. There were ghosts crying beside my ears…”
“If the members of the Dragon Group weren’t nearby, I’m telling you, I would have died!”
Seeing this, Ling Ping’an laughed, “The Dragon Team… hehehe…”
The drivers of Jiangcheng City loved to talk about the Dragon Team the most.
It was said that the Dragon Team could go to heaven and earth, protect their home and defend their country, and was omnipotent.
But the problem was…
If there really was such an official organization for dealing with supernatural incidents, who would give such a stupid name?
Besides, wasn’t the Dragon Team made up by web writers?
At this moment, a waiter walked up to Ling Ping’an and asked, “Mr., would you like to order?”
Ling Ping’an put away his phone and nodded.
The waiter took out the menu.
Ling Ping’an looked around and realized that he didn’t see Chiba Michiko, so he asked, “Where’s Miss. Chiba?”
The waiter smiled and replied, “Miss Chiba has some matters to attend to and will only be able to come to work tomorrow…”
“Oh…” Ling Ping’an didn’t take it to heart and simply ordered a few dishes.
After the dishes were served, he continued to read the threads on the forum as he was eating.
He read more than 10 threads in a row.
Ling Ping’an basically understood some basic information about the so-called cross slope.
First of all, the place seemed to be very famous among the citizens in the capital.
It was a famous vicious place, and there was also the legend of the hundred nocturnal ghosts.
Ling Ping’an even saw a post with some plot details in the private discussion area.
According to the poster, he was drunk one day and drove into the cross slope. In the end, he met a beautiful girl and made love to her for 300 rounds. After dawn, he found himself hugging a scarecrow and sleeping behind the ruins.
Under the post, a bunch of people were urging him to update.
Ling Ping’an looked at it and laughed. “Isn’t this the plot of a story about a supernatural being?”
After eating, he put away his phone.
Ling Ping’an stood up. “It’s quite far over there… Let’s go there earlier!”
He had already checked the route.
After leaving the Monsoon Villa in Mount Tang, along the road of Monsoon Villa, one had to go to the subway station and take the No. 3 line, from Xin Jie Kou, take the No. 5 line, and from Wang Jia Pu, take the No. 9 line and get off at Ling Miao station. From Ling Miao Road, one had to take the Industrial Road, finally, from the Industrial Road, take the Northern Road and at the end, one could see the edge of the cross slope.
It was an abandoned old prison.
The Cross Slope Prison.
However, for some reason, Ling Ping’an had checked and found that the navigation system could not directly navigate to the cross slope.
At most, it could only navigate to the Northern Road.
However, this was not a problem for him.
“I’ll get off the subway and directly navigate to the Northern Road!” As he said this, he carried his cat and walked out of the restaurant.
Then, he went out of the hall and found the exit of the Monsoon Villa by relying on the navigation.
Then, after asking a staff member at the door, he followed the staff member’s instructions and found the subway station — it was not far, just over a thousand meters away.
When he reached the subway station, he began to feel dizzy.
Although there were signs and road signs everywhere in the subway station, his whole body was in chaos.
He didn’t know where Line 3 would take him.
Fortunately, the Federal Empire had arranged many volunteers in this subway station.
With the help of a volunteer, Ling Ping’an finally got on Line 3 towards Xin Jie Kou.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Xin Jie Kou station.
The moment he got off the train, it was full of people.
It was densely packed, and there were heads everywhere.
“Is this the capital?” Ling Ping’an exclaimed, “It’s so terrifying!”
As the city center, it was also the capital’s rail transit hub.
There were too many passengers at the new intersection!
Fortunately, there were quite a number of volunteers here.
With the help of a volunteer, Ling Ping’an successfully got on the Line 5 toward Wang Jia Pu.
When he got to Wang Jia Pu, there were very few people.
This place belonged to the suburbs of the capital.
Those who still came to take the bus at this hour were basically tourists and workers who lived here.
More importantly, there were very few rail routes here.
Only Line 5 and Line 9.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an smoothly got on Line 9, which was heading toward the Ling Miao Road.
However…
After he got on the bus, he took out his phone and took a look.
“Is it almost nine o’clock?”
Then, he remembered something terrible — it seemed that the subway in the capital would stop running after 11:30 p.m.
Therefore…
“How do I go back?”
“Can I get a taxi or a taxi over internet there?” He thought.
This was a big problem.
If he couldn’t get a taxi, where would he sleep tonight?
Walk back on his own two feet?
It was dozens of kilometers!
Besides, he was an idiot with directions. Even if he could walk back, he would definitely get lost.
However…
“What are you afraid of…” Ling Ping’an set up the 911 call in his phone.
His education told him not to be afraid of danger and trouble.
Find the police!
The purpose of the police in the Federal Empire was to serve the people of the Empire!
So, if you’re really in need, you had to trouble the police uncle.
