Chu Tianmiao Zuo and Lin Ran went directly to Liaoning Province.
However, they did not return to Shengjing.
Instead, they went to Liaozhong.
Chu Tian had been here once before.
The last time he came, he was heading to the Antarctic region.
He had passed through and checked it out.
However, Chu Tian's return here surprised him.
Because he remembered very clearly that when he passed through Liaozhong last time, it was empty.
A ghost town…
And now…
As they looked down from a high place, the not very large city was brightly lit.
It was already late, but the city below was bustling with activity. Da Feng Novel Network
Completely opposite to when Chu Tian had come last time.
“This…” Chu Tian stopped his divine movement.
“What’s wrong, boss?” Miao Zuo asked, noticing Chu Tian’s abnormal expression.
“When I came last time, it was dead silent, and ordinary people had disappeared!”
After Chu Tian finished speaking, Miao Zuo and Lin Ran curiously glanced below.
“No way? Are those ghosts below?” Miao Zuo exclaimed.
“Mm… Boss, are you misremembering? For such a large city’s population to disappear and reappear isn't that easy.”
Lin Ran also expressed doubt. The city had a population of at least several million.
Even an orderly evacuation would take a long time.
Not to mention, if an entire city were to evacuate its population, it would definitely be a nationwide sensation.
It would require the strength of the state to handle.
Chu Tian was well aware of this.
However, he was certain that this Liaozhong… was a ghost city.
Although he hadn’t landed to check, he had scanned it with his divine sense.
There wasn’t a single living creature, not even a cat or a dog.
But there were no corpses.
There wasn’t even any sign of a fight.
At the time, he thought that the people here had evacuated in an orderly manner.
The state had helped to move the ordinary people out of this area.
Or…
The Divine Sea Hall, in their madness, had slaughtered everyone here.
However, Chu Tian leaned more towards the former.
After all, his divine sense had not detected any trace of anything.
“Let’s go down and take a look!”
Chu Tian decided to go down and investigate.
He did not go directly to the center of the city, to the location of the obvious sphere of spiritual energy.
He wanted to figure out what had happened here.
After landing, the three of them walked on the busy streets like ordinary people.
“Where are we going?”
Miao Zuo was like a country bumpkin.
He stared at the iron boxes running on the ground.
He looked at everything with curiosity.
Chu Tian had brought him to Blue Star and they had settled in Ma Jia Xiao Shi Jie.
Since then, all sorts of things had happened.
Miao Zuo, an alien,
had never toured Blue Star.
Naturally, he was amazed by all the facilities here.
Just as Chu Tian didn't know where to go.
He also hadn't returned to the world of ordinary people for a long time.
Suddenly, a lively sound came from an alley.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
“Let’s go, big brother will take you for some skewers!”
This street was filled with noise.
It turned out to be a barbecue street.
Barbecue… a magical food.
Chu Tian loved it the most.
“Skewers?” Miao Zuo looked at it.
He frowned and continued,
“Isn’t this just barbecue? Old Ma often barbecued for us! The environment here is much better than this smoky mess…”
Judging by his words, he didn't want to go.
But Chu Tian ignored him and walked straight towards it.
Lin Ran patted Miao Zuo.
“You wouldn’t know this, but for skewers… you need this kind of atmosphere!”
After saying that, she smiled and followed Chu Tian.
Miao Zuo didn’t understand her meaning.
But he could only follow.
Entering the alley, it felt like stepping into another world.
The noise was deafening.
The smell of various barbecue spices burning.
At that moment,
Chu Tian felt a sense of detachment.
How long had it been since he had experienced such an atmosphere?
They walked and looked around.
Choosing the most popular shop, they entered.
After entering, Chu Tian saw that there were not many tables inside.
He looked outside.
The tables outside the shop were already full.
There was only one empty table left inside the shop.
The staff were too busy to attend to them.
There was only a waiter carrying a plate and running out.
Seeing Chu Tian and the other two standing at the door,
he called out.
“There’s only one table left, and the outside is full. You’ll have to make do with sitting here!”
After saying that, he rushed outside with the plate to serve other customers.
It was summer.
Most people preferred to sit on the street, on simple outdoor seats.
“Then this is fine!”
Chu Tian didn’t mind. Popular barbecue restaurants were like this.
They were too busy to attend to customers.
This only proved that the food here was very good.
After the three of them sat down,
the waiter who had gone out to work returned.
He handed Chu Tian and the others a menu.
And a notebook.
Implying that they should write their order themselves.
Chu Tian was not polite, he took the notebook and quickly wrote on the menu.
He didn’t know if they could finish it all.
He ordered a bit of everything.
After ordering, Chu Tian pushed the notebook forward.
Miao Zuo and Lin Ran shook their heads.
Chu Tian called out.
The waiter came over and collected the menu.
And Chu Tian immediately spread out his divine sense.
Such places were often the best place to gather information.
There was no need to do anything.
Just listen.
Listen to what these people were saying.
There was a lot of bragging.
No useful information.
Chu Tian was not in a hurry.
He waited like this.
For more than half an hour.
The three of them chatted idly, saying little.
Finally, the ordered food was not yet served.
“Let’s eat!”
Chu Tian didn’t have high expectations of gathering much information here.
The idea was just a bonus.
He hadn’t heard any useful news all this time.
Just as he picked up the first lamb skewer,
a man suddenly walked in through the door.
He was walking a bit unsteadily.
Chu Tian didn’t pay attention.
He knew this man was a customer from outside.
After entering the room, the man glanced at the table next to Chu Tian.
His gaze was scrutinizing.
They were looking at a short-haired girl in a white outfit.
The girl’s hair was below her ears.
She was wearing a white t-shirt, looking very energetic.
She was also very cute.
Among ordinary people, she could be considered a beauty.
It was normal for a man to look at such a beauty a few more times.
The girl looked up at the man.
She glanced at the man, and the man lowered his head and continued talking to his friends.
The man staggered further inside.
After a few steps, he muttered a sentence.
Drunk people often mumble.
He was even more so, mumbling.
No one heard him.
Coupled with the noisy atmosphere,
no one paid attention.
However, Chu Tian’s expression changed.
He couldn’t help but look at the man’s back.
“What’s wrong, boss?” Lin Ran noticed Chu Tian’s unusual reaction.
Chu Tian frowned and shook his head.
“It’s nothing!”
He then put the lamb skewer in his mouth. These two words were transmitted telepathically to Lin Ran and Miao Zuo.
They were startled and immediately knew that Chu Tian’s “it’s nothing”
actually meant that something was wrong.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t use telepathy.
However, he kept a close eye on the man’s movements.
The man was heading to the counter to pay.
He should be finishing his meal and preparing to pay.
But the sentence he just spoke,
could not escape Chu Tian’s divine sense.
He had just said: “This chick is really hot, I’ll get her to the roadside later…”
Chu Tian sneered after hearing this.
This person was clearly not a good guy.
He had tattoos on his body.
A typical street punk.
He was with several other people outside.
There were about five or six men, and two women.
However, when Lin Ran asked,
Chu Tian had replied, “It’s nothing…”
That was because Chu Tian sensed a different aura from that woman.
Although she had hidden it well, it couldn’t escape Chu Tian’s divine sense.
Chu Tian smiled inwardly, the best hunter is one who disguises themselves as prey?
The man paid and walked out unsteadily.
As he walked past Chu Tian’s table,
he even glanced at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian pretended not to see him.
The man then looked back at the girl who had her back to him.
He quickly approached.
Chu Tian had already noticed his intentions.
However, he did not intervene.
He wanted to see how bold this man really was.
Indeed.
He was bolder than Chu Tian had anticipated.
He reached out and touched the girl’s back.
He even picked at it and pulled out something like an elastic band.
With a snap.
He released his hand.
The elastic band snapped onto the girl’s back.
“Ah…”
The girl cried out in surprise at the sneak attack.
She quickly turned sideways and dodged inward, pressing herself against the wall.
“What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I’m doing you…”
The drunk man said even more, bending down to touch the girl.
“No… there are too many people here, let’s go outside!”
The people inside were stunned by the sudden incident.
They hadn’t reacted yet.
The girl was the first to stand up, and the other girls at her table also stood up.
They didn’t say anything, and silently walked towards the exit.
This completely bewildered the man.
Just then, Lin Ran saw the man being inappropriate and was about to stand up.
But Chu Tian pressed his hand down.
And transmitted a message into his ear:
“Don’t move, the situation isn’t what it looks like. Perhaps… we’ve run into a big fish.”
Before Chu Tian could finish speaking, the girl who looked like she was being harassed walked out first.
The man hesitated for a moment, and a lecherous smile gradually appeared on his face.
Coming outside, he was overjoyed.
He whistled at the people at his table.
Then he pointed at the girls in front of him.
He placed his hands on his waist and struck a posture of puffing out his chest.
“Hehe…”
He let out a lewd and sinister chuckle, beckoning to the people at his table.
Immediately, the men at his table’s eyes lit up.
“What the hell? The girls here… are so open?”
Miao Zuo, being an alien, was wide-eyed at this scene.
Chu Tian saw the burly men outside, each one eagerly following a few young girls.
There were also two women at their table. They pulled their men.
But the man, with a flick of his arm and a glare, strode away.
Chu Tian’s divine sense was locked onto the group.
Eventually, four young girls walked into a dark alley.
The men exchanged glances, chuckled lewdly, and followed them in.
“Not good… let’s go!”
Chu Tian suddenly stood up, threw a few large bills on the table.
He moved and had already disappeared.
Lin Ran and Miao Zuo followed closely.
Chu Tian’s movements were not slow, but by the time he reached the dark alley,
his expression was extremely grim.
When he arrived, a man covered in blood rushed out.
He almost bumped into Chu Tian.
“Help… save me…”
He desperately called for help, attracting the attention of the two women following them. The two women had set off later than the men.
Chu Tian only came when he sensed something was wrong. Although it was only a momentary flicker,
a tragic scene had already unfolded here.
Inside the alley, there was a strong smell of blood. The four men inside, including the one who first entered the barbecue restaurant to harass the girl,
had their limbs separated.
Only the man in front of Chu Tian was an exception. He had lost an arm but had managed to escape.
A silver light flashed, heading straight for the back of the man’s neck in front of Chu Tian.
Chu Tian’s milky white light flashed.
The silver light seemed to pass through an air wall.
*Tear…*
The light and shadow paused, revealing a short knife about a foot long.
The owner of the short knife also appeared. It was the white-clothed girl, who took it backhand.
The blade arrived first, and the person followed the blade.
She stopped, looked up, and saw Chu Tian.
“It’s you?”
She recognized Chu Tian as the person sitting at the table next to hers in the barbecue restaurant.
Chu Tian was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth,
a scream came from behind him.
“You vixen, I’ll let you seduce my man.”
Behind Chu Tian, a woman rushed over, holding a red plastic stool.
Clearly, she was resentful seeing her man following them. Now, seeing the white-clothed girl, she immediately picked up the stool to hit her.
Chu Tian was speechless. These men really weren’t good people, and this woman was a bit fierce.
He waved his hand and slapped her. The woman was sent reeling.
She spun around and fell.
“You t–”
The curse made Chu Tian frown.
Seeing her fleeing, it was clear she didn’t care about the man’s life or death.
He cursed inwardly.
Truly, “When calamity befalls, even birds in the same forest fly in different directions!”
This man lying on the ground was probably this woman’s husband!
Chu Tian was about to go over and knock her out.
However, at that moment, the woman’s eyes blurred.
A shadow flashed by.
*Bang…*
When the shadow stopped,
the woman’s scream abruptly stopped.
Chu Tian saw clearly. It was Miao Zuo, holding a grilled chicken wing in his left hand, gnawing on it.
In his right hand, he held a handful of various meat skewers,
thrusting them forward.
And the target he hit,
was the woman’s open mouth.
The handful of meat skewers, not missing a single one,
were all lodged in her mouth.
The woman’s voice naturally disappeared.
Blood flowed from the skewers.
“This bitch… her voice is really unpleasant!”
Miao Zuo withdrew his hand.
He pulled out the meat skewers in his hand.
And casually threw them on the ground.
The woman’s face was deformed.
Chu Tian saw that all her teeth had fallen out.
Who could have known that the meat skewers Miao Zuo pulled out had fallen all over the ground?
The thing blocking the woman’s mouth was gone.
Her chest heaved, clearly containing a breath.
She opened her mouth.
Chu Tian even wanted to go over and knock her out.
Miao Zuo, seeing this, naturally acted first.
Seeing this, Chu Tian refocused his attention on the beautiful girl.
“You… are you from the Divine Sea Hall?”
At this moment, Chu Tian and the girl spoke at the same time.
And asked the same question.
