Chapter 44: In reality, you can't easily trust small cards
Blue Star, China, Kyoto.
Deep in a dark, damp underground cave.
A figure in black robe lowered his head and advanced slowly.
In the darkness that was invisible to his eyes, he could vaguely feel that the rock walls of the entire cave were slowly rising and falling with a certain rhythm.
As he advanced step by step, there were constant snapping sounds under his feet.
It's not like stepping on hard earth and rocks, but on soft, moist unknown objects.
The entire cave seems to be inside the body of some kind of creature.
Fortunately, now that he saw the 'wall of flesh' around him again, he no longer had the panic and uneasiness he felt the first time.
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
The vision before my eyes suddenly opened up.
No longer a damp, dark, narrow cave.
Instead, there was a wide underground square, surrounded by torches for lighting.
But if you look carefully, you will find that these torches are limbs extending from the flesh wall, with flames burning at the top.
As the flames continued to burn, objects that looked like grease could be seen dripping from time to time, and were absorbed by the meat carpet on the ground.
"metropolitan."
The man in black knelt on the ground, feeling a warm and moist feeling on his palm.
"What's the matter?"
The old voice echoed in the square, but it was unknown where it came from.
"Lingpo sent a message, hoping that we can start planning tomorrow, and the layout of each city branch is also ready."
“How well does the pollution penetrate?”
"The black mist is expected to arrive in a few hours, and it will take about twenty-four hours to penetrate. By the time the Bureau of Conspiracy recovers from our plan, the contamination should have been completed."
"Can."
Afterwards, the cave became completely silent again.
There was only the sound of grease dripping on the ground from time to time.
.........
The wind is strong and extremely cold.
Li Haoran sat cross-legged in mid-air.
Not far behind it is Blue Star's world barrier.
The black and emerald green aura is so strong here that it is almost substantial.
Li Haoran was sharpening his gun before the battle, frantically absorbing the aura of the world barrier behind him.
As he practiced with all his strength, these polluted spiritual energy formed a spiritual energy vortex around him with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
The sound of thunder kept coming out of his body, almost drowning out the sound of the howling wind around him.
This means that the seeds of thunder in Li Haoran's body are bursting out at full power, constantly transforming the spiritual power in his body.
At the same time, his cultivation level continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the time he started practicing until now, in just ten hours, he has already reached the second level and reached the seventh level of the foundation building stage.
"It's a bit slow."
Li Haoran frowned.
The further you get to the back, the faster the breakthrough becomes.
When he first broke through, he practiced for two hours every day, almost reaching a new realm every day.
But starting from the fourth level, the speed of breakthrough dropped significantly.
It took him two full days to go from four to five.
Now, with all my efforts in cultivation, I have only broken through two levels in ten hours.
"It's rare that I practice so seriously. I originally wanted to enter the golden elixir stage before the black mist arrives."
"Now it is estimated that the foundation will only be built on nine floors at most."
"Alas, my talent is still not strong enough."
【......】
[Apologise to all the immortal cultivators who have spent hundreds of years in the foundation building period, you bastards!]
Of course, the system only dares to curse in its heart.
Now it has clearly understood its identity as a bitch.
I can't resist anyway, so I might as well enjoy it.
At this time, Li Haoran's nose suddenly moved.
A stench hit his nose.
Li Haoran opened his eyes.
In the distance of his sight, a substantial mass of black mist was slowly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, rushing towards the earth.
At this distance, Li Haoran could even smell the astonishing stench emitted by the black mist.
That is the breath of the natural enemy of all living things.
"It's time to make some preparations."
Li Haoran whispered to himself, then he stretched out his hand and began to draw talismans in the air.
There are still a few hours left.
He planned to use the talismans to set up heavy defenses before the black mist came, to buy himself some time.
.......
Baishui City, Urban Forum.
A newly published post quietly appeared on the homepage, but it was quickly noticed by Baishui citizens who were surfing the Internet.
Zhang Yao is also one of them.
[I went for a walk in the park tonight, and someone stuffed a small card into me. I thought it was for porn, but it turned out to be this kind of thing]
On the first floor are pictures posted by the original poster.
A business card.
It was the business card Wang Qimin asked Ergen to hand out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yao put his hand into his pocket and took out an identical business card.
He also received this business card. It was just out of politeness that he didn't throw it away on the spot, but he later forgot about it.
As soon as I got home and was about to go online, I saw that someone had received the same business card as me.
He continued to look through the replies to the post.
[No, no, no, there are still people committing crimes these days. I will report it to the Bureau of Secrets and see if I can get some reward.]
[It’s too late for you upstairs. After I received it, I turned around and called the police. Now I’m waiting for the Secret Service Bureau to award me the Enthusiastic Citizen Award]
[I also received it, but I threw it away after changing hands. I really didn’t expect that this grandma would be tricked by a scammer into giving out this kind of business card despite her age]
[Did an old lady give it to me upstairs? It was given to me by an uncle. He seems to be a decent person. What a pity.]
[Damn it, I was given it by a beautiful woman. I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss life with her, but she turned around and left without giving me a chance to strike up a conversation.]
[By the way, this card says that no money will be taken until the matter is resolved. Why do I feel that it is a bit credible?]
[Idiot upstairs]
【Upstairs 1】
In just a few minutes, this post was replied by hundreds of people, and every time it was refreshed, new people would comment below.
Zhang Yao had nothing to do and kept reading the comments.
However, this sight made him more and more frightened.
According to what was said in the comment area, almost all of the people who gave them business cards were different people, and there were few overlaps.
What's even more frightening is that the area covers almost the entire Baishui City.
Until now, there are still people leaving messages saying that they received the business card just a few minutes ago.
This group of scammers is quite powerful.
Surprisingly, I was able to find so many people to help issue cards at once.
Isn’t the other party afraid of police investigation?
Zhang Yao looked at the content on the business card.
Is it true?
Zhang Yao wasn't sure, but he thought of the strange incidents that have been circulating on the Internet recently.
It is said that strange things appear every day recently, and the police in the Strange Bureau are so busy that they often have no time to rescue them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao thought for a moment, and finally chose not to throw away the business card, but stuffed it into his wallet.
What if it comes in handy one day?
In today's world, everyone is in danger, and no one can guarantee that they will not encounter strange events.
If you can't wait for the rescue from the Bureau of Trickery by then, you will really be dead.
Zhang Yao prayed, hoping that he would never be able to wait until the day he believed in this business card.
