Chapter 575 - Fog in Jiangcheng City (1)
Chapter 575: Fog in Jiangcheng City (1)
The thick fog filled the entire Jiangcheng City.
From morning until noon, the fog slowly dispersed, and the sun finally shone on the city again.
“What’s going on recently?” The passersby by the roadside watched as the thick fog dispersed on time at noon, they couldn’t help but mutter, “There aren’t any heavy chemical companies in Jiangcheng City… But why has it been like this almost every day for the past month?”
The people around him nodded, full of doubts.
In the past month, the weather in Jiangcheng City had become very strange.
Except for a few days, most of the time, there was no thunder. After 10 p.m., the thick fog filled the air. It would only disperse at 12 p.m. the next day, and it would last for 14 hours!
As a result, Jiangcheng City had won the title of “Fog City” on the internet.
However, the people of Jiangcheng City hated this title!
The thick fog affected countless people’s daily life and work orders every day.
Especially in the morning, students and workers who rushed to work hated it!
The thick fog paralyzed the traffic.
Only the subway and buses were allowed to pass normally.
Other private cars were forbidden to travel!
More importantly, there were more legends of gods and monsters.
Many people claimed that they had seen demons and monsters in the fog.
Huang Qin listened to these discussions quietly.
He was already a transcendent being though he was only a captain.
Therefore, he knew that people’s discussions were not groundless.
There were indeed demons and monsters in the thick fog of Jiangcheng City.
Moreover, there were some demons and monsters that people could not understand.
A three-legged single-eyed eyeball was walking on the streets of the city.
Floating creatures with countless tentacles were floating in the depths of the thick fog.
Huge sarcomas monsters would appear and disappear from time to time.
Fortunately, these things seemed to be unable to affect reality.
They seemed to come from another world, another universe.
What they appeared in the thick fog of Jiangcheng City was just a projection.
It was similar to a mirage.
Huang Qin was very sure of this because he had once seen in the thick fog of a night a few monsters that would only appear in the Journey to the West and were distorted by the Skyless Buddha’s dharma.
They were demons that had taken the form of white bones.
Huang Qin could recognize them because they had the obvious characteristics of Journey to the West. Their bones were covered with a ghostly flame that looked like moss.
The ghostly flame sizzled and burned. The sound of the Buddha’s voice echoed in the ghostly flame.
When he got closer, the figures of the demons shattered like bubbles.
Only the name of the place was left in his mind: White Tiger Ridge!
Without a doubt, they could only come from the White Tiger Ridge occupied by the White Bone Lady!
Thinking of this, Huang Qin couldn’t help but worry.
“If Journey to the West shines into reality…” he was worried, “I wonder how we can resist it?”
He had already survived in the Journey to the West for more than a month.
By chance, he obtained a Taoist book.
The name of the book was “Nine Heavens Origin Thunder Sutra”!
It was a Taoist book that he found next to the remains of a cave in Mount Black Wind.
Although it was broken, the main body was still intact.
Moreover, judging from the words left beside the remains, the origin of the remains was quite extraordinary.
According to what it said, he was the disciples of Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Heavenly Venerate.
He met the heavenly tribulation, where the immortals and Buddhas fell together and died from the tribulation.
Before he died, he was worried that his orthodoxy would be cut off, so he left the true scripture to wait for the fated person.
Although Huang Qin cultivated this technique for only a month, he comprehended a divine ability: Palm Thunder.
The power of this divine ability was extraordinary.
It became the key to Huang Qin’s survival in the Journey to the West.
Several times, he had relied on it to kill demons.
But the more it was like this, the more Huang Qin’s fear of the Journey to the West grew.
This was because he had used the modern internet to inquire about the background of the legends of the Journey to the West.
He had also obtained some legends from the mouths of mortals in the Journey to the West.
That was why he knew that it was a great world filled with immortals, buddhas, countless ghosts, and gods.
However, such a great world had been overthrown by a mighty figure named Skyless Buddha.
If Journey to the West merged with reality, Huang Qin knew that mortals in reality would have no way of fighting back against those demons that had been overthrown by Skyless Buddha.
Thinking of this, Huang Qin quickened his pace.
After the thick fog dispersed, the buildings in front of him could be seen clearly.
He crossed the street and came to an official organization in the center of the city. It was called the Jiangcheng City Nature and Environment Protection Committee.
After taking out his identity card and registering at the door, Huang Qin directly entered.
He walked to a window in the hall with a ‘Rest’ sign on it and pressed a button skillfully.
A young girl appeared in front of him.
“Mr. Huang, you’re here?” The girl smiled. “Our chief is in his office on the second floor!”
Huang Qin nodded and said, “Yes, thank you!”
Then he left the window and walked up the stairs.
He soon found the chief’s office.
He knocked lightly on the door, and a middle-aged man opened the door. “Mr. Huang, please follow me!” The other party had already prepared for this.
Huang Qin nodded and followed him into the door.
The other party walked to a cabinet, pushed open the cabinet, and revealed a secret door.
Behind the secret door was an elevator.
After entering the password, the elevator door opened and Huang Qin walked in. The elevator quickly descended and soon arrived at the underground secret base.
This was a safe house of the Blackguard in Jiangcheng City.
After Huang Qin came out from his Journey to the West, he took the initiative to report his experience to the Blackguard.
This was his subconscious choice.
After many years of education, the common people of the Federal Empire were already used to finding the relevant departments when they encountered problems.
Naturally, his report attracted the great attention of the Blackguard!
Every time he came out from his Journey to the West, he would make a routine report.
And the level of the people who received him was also getting higher and higher.
However, today seemed to be a little different.
When Huang Qin stepped into this underground security base, he clearly noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange.
The air was filled with tension and uneasiness.
“What’s wrong?” He could not help but think.
Following the middle-aged man, Huang Qin walked to a conference room in the depths of the underground base.
In the conference room, a powerful psionic power that made him shudder in fear was transmitted.
This reminded him of how he felt when he first faced the Black Wind King during his Journey to the West.
“Who’s inside?” He could not help but ask.
“Mr. Huang…” the middle-aged man smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, it’s the commander-in-chief who came to Guangnan personally!”
“Commander-in-chief?!” Huang Qin swallowed his saliva. He naturally knew what the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard meant?
The human who was closest to the gods!
The human who slaughtered the gods!
The most powerful human on the surface!
He actually came to Jiangcheng City!
Was it because of me?
