Chapter 82 Dominator-Level Item?
High-powered xenon lamps were placed every five meters on the arched tunnel ceiling, the bright light filling the inner ring tunnel.
A roadblock was set up at the intersection a dozen meters outside the tunnel, prohibiting passage.
Inside the quiet tunnel, vehicles were parked, all left by ordinary people who had disappeared into the tunnel more than two hours ago.
After the Security Department and official Wayfarers surveyed the scene, they took away some valuable clues such as driving recorders and bloodstains, while these vehicles were temporarily left here.
On the one hand, it was to protect the scene, and on the other hand, it was because it could not be determined whether the tunnel was safe yet. In order to prevent more people from being killed, the tunnel had to be closed for a few days, so it was better to leave the vehicles where they were. It had to be said that the official Wayfarers were still experienced. That little girl in the red hat probably hadn't left the tunnel.
All the missing people were also in the tunnel.
Once traffic resumed, another mass disappearance might occur in a few days. "Da da da da..."
Inside the empty tunnel, the red dancing shoes spun around, sometimes running on the roof of the car, stepping out footprints, and sometimes wandering on the top of the tunnel and the walls.
Zhang Yuanqing, in an invisible state, walked slowly between the cars, frowning and thinking as he watched the headless-fly-like red dancing shoes, "The little girl in the red hat didn't leave, and the missing people are still in the tunnel, but the official Wayfarers didn't notice. There are only two reasons for this: One: the little girl in the red hat is too high-level, so high that even the Directors are concealed. Two: that item has special functions and belongs to a foreign profession, so the Directors have limited understanding and have no clue for the time being."
But Zhang Yuanqing believed that the Directors of Songhai would be able to crack the weirdness of the little girl in the red hat in less than three days, but it would be difficult to say whether the missing people would still be alive by then. After understanding the mystery, Zhang Yuanqing was in a dilemma.
Auntie and the missing people stayed in the tunnel, but not in reality, but in an unknown, incomprehensible dimension gap. Although he grasped the key, he had no ability to enter it.
Call Fu Qingyang, he is a Sovereign and knows more than I do. Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone.
At this time, the red dancing shoes wandering on the wall suddenly went crazy and stomped on the wall, making a "cracking" sound. The hard concrete wall was trampled out with clear footprints, and cement blocks fell down. Immediately, the cement wall rippled like water, swallowing the red dancing shoes.
The next second, Zhang Yuanqing lost his sense of the red dancing shoes.
His heart sank, and he hurried to the place where the red dancing shoes disappeared, pressed his palms against the wall, and exerted his strength silently. The solid cement wall was indented with two palm prints. However, nothing happened.
The red dancing shoes kicked the wall and entered the dimension gap, but he couldn't. Zhang Yuanqing decisively gave up exploring and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.
While dialing, he saw the wall rippling again, and a pair of brand-new, exquisite red dancing shoes pierced through the ripples and returned to the tunnel.
"Da da da..."
The red dancing shoes flew around him quickly, occasionally raising their feet to tap the wall.
Its meaning is that Auntie is on the other side of the wall, asking me to go over quickly? But I can't go. Zhang Yuanqing smiled wryly.
Seeing the red dancing shoes return, he suddenly remembered a detail. In the attribute introduction of the red dancing shoes, it was mentioned that after the death of the previous owner, the dancing shoes began to wander. It was precisely this that wandered to the Yu Ling Tunnel instance.
These shoes, originating from the Void profession, can wander between instances in the transcendent stage. This is its unique magic, so it can enter the dimension gap. Without hesitation, Zhang Yuanqing immediately turned on the second form and chose the wearing mode.
The red dancing shoes turned into two dark red glows, wrapping his feet and replacing the original sneakers. Then he stood there blankly, motionless.
It seems it won't work. The second form can only dodge, not take me "wandering". Zhang Yuanqing frowned in disappointment. At this time, the phone connected.
Fu Qingyang's voice rang, "Speak."
Probably knowing that he was working, Qian Gongzi didn't waste any words. Zhang Yuanqing told him his discovery in detail.
Fu Qingyang said, "A world of its own? The foreign 'Eternal Night' profession has corresponding skills, but that is a Sovereign-level method. If that's the case, there's no need to look for the person, they are bound to die." Zhang Yuanqing's face turned extremely ugly, "How do I get in?"
"The fastest and most stable way is naturally to ask the Void profession for help. Wait where you are." Fu Qingyang said, "I will try to contact that president, but it will take time." Zhang Yuanqing had no choice but to hang up the phone.
He had the item of the Void profession, which was the red dancing shoes, and it could indeed enter the dimension gap, but the red dancing shoes could not take him in. What should he do?
If the item controlled by the little girl in the red hat really has the strength of the Sovereign stage, then Auntie... Zhang Yuanqing was extremely anxious.
The more anxious he was, the more mixed his thoughts became. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His thoughts turned quickly, and he soon thought of a way.
The physical body can't get in, so what about the spirit body?
The second form of the red dancing shoes only has the dodging function and no "wandering" ability, so it cannot take him into the dimension gap.
Then, can he separate his spirit body and attach it to the red dancing shoes to follow the red dancing shoes into the dimension gap? But the spirit body has limited strength and can't open the item bar. Even if he enters the dimension gap, how can he rescue Auntie? The Ghost Bride and Little Silly are spirit bodies and can enter with me. I am not alone. After entering the dimension gap, I can possess ordinary people and use their bodies to fight.
That's right, the Military Soul Mask has been integrated into my spirit body. This item has great attribute bonuses, enough for me to fight in the dimension gap. I don't need to subdue enemies, just hold Auntie and wait for Boss's rescue. Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer. He casually opened the car door of a car next to him, entered the car, and sent Guan Ya a message:
"I'm in the car in the inner ring tunnel. I need to separate my spirit body for a moment. Come quickly to protect my physical body. Remember to bring the Blood Rose. I may encounter danger. Let Fu Qingyang quickly provide support." After sending the message, he removed the wearing mode of the red dancing shoes and cast Spirit Travel.
The spirit body immediately floated out of the physical body.
"Pa pa"
The red dancing shoes kicked the owner's physical body twice angrily. It thought the owner was pretending to be dead on purpose because he didn't want to dance.
Zhang Yuanqing's spirit body, wrapped in Little Silly and Bai Lan, clung to the red dancing shoes.
Under his comfort, the red dancing shoes stopped being willful and ran towards the wall with cheerful steps. "Cracking..."
It stomped on the wall with great force, trampling out footprints. Finally, the wall rippled. The red dancing shoes stepped down and were submerged in the ripples.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the forest shadows are hazy.
The surroundings were silent, with no insects chirping. Faint wolf howls came from the depths of the dense forest. Zhang Yuanqing's spirit body separated from the red dancing shoes and looked around.
He was at the entrance of a dense forest, with a silver plate-like full moon overhead. The silver moonlight illuminated the distant wilderness. If it weren't for the lack of spiritual environment prompts in his ear, he would have almost thought he had entered an instance. It was also night here, which was good. It was the best time for him. Zhang Yuanqing vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
"Da da da..."
The red dancing shoes turned into a dark glow and窜 into the dense forest.
Zhang Yuanqing floated after it. The dense forest was silent, and the lush branches blocked the moonlight. There was deep darkness everywhere. Fortunately, the spirit body had the ability to see through darkness, and the line of sight was not affected.
After floating in the dense forest for a few minutes, he saw a corpse lying below and stopped immediately.
This was the corpse of a middle-aged man, wearing a black t-shirt and capri pants. One of his shoes had fallen off. He was lying on the ground, and bright red blood flowed from his abdomen, staining the mud beneath him red. Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand gently, and the corpse turned over. He saw that the middle-aged man's fat-filled abdomen had been opened with claws, and the internal organs had been eaten.
There were lacerations and bite marks on his neck.
Obviously, this uncle was pounced on by some kind of monster, his neck bitten off, and then his internal organs were hollowed out.
This was definitely not good news.
Zhang Yuanqing left the corpse behind and followed the red dancing shoes forward with a heavy heart. Along the way, he encountered several more corpses, including middle-aged men, women, and children. Their deaths were the same as the middle-aged uncle's. In addition, he also found the monster's footprints in the forest.
Wolf footprints.
The footprints were not in a string, but in pairs, which meant that the wolf was walking upright.
Zhang Yuanqing quickly pieced together the encounters of those missing people. After they entered this strange space, they entered the dense forest for some reason and were chased by terrifying werewolves. They died one by one while running away.
Finally, the red dancing shoes stopped in front of a wooden house.
This location was high, and the surrounding trees seemed to have been cut down, so the view was open. The bright moonlight shone down, and the wooden house was silent. The red dancing shoes stopped at the door of the wooden house and did not move anymore.
Is Auntie inside? Zhang Yuanqing floated towards the wooden house. His body easily penetrated the walls of the wooden house. With a casual sweep, he saw several figures sitting by the fireplace.
There were seven people in total. They hugged their knees and shivered against the fireplace and wooden walls. Whispering rose from among them.
"I don't want to continue hiding here. Let's escape."
"If you want to die, then go out, but don't implicate us. Only by hiding in the wooden house can we be safe. Going out will be eaten by that wolf." "That wolf will come and knock on the door again later. I feel that next time it will break in."
Although the tone was terrified, it seemed that they had passed the most panic-stricken stage and had initially accepted the fact that they were involved in a "supernatural event". The young man who spoke first said in a low voice:
"But we can't continue to hide, can we? Jiang Yu'er, do you have any ideas?"
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing also found his auntie. She and her companions were hugging their knees and huddled by the fireplace, their faces pale, and a pair of lively eyes looked left and right, guarding the outside and the movement inside the house.
In the darkness, everyone looked at her. Jiang Yu'er said in a low voice:
"Someone will come to save us. We've been missing for so long. The security officers must already know. Since there really are supernatural events in the world, the government must have known about it long ago." "There must be someone who specializes in dealing with this kind of thing to save us." Her words successfully calmed the panicked emotions of the crowd, which was immediately reduced.
"Is your leg injury okay?" the young man beside her asked with concern.
"It seems that the bleeding has stopped, but I feel a little dizzy," Jiang Yu'er said. Zhang Yuanqing, who floated into the wooden house, was relieved and felt a joy of reunion in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed his joy and began to analyze based on the conversations of these people. As he expected, these people fled into the dense forest and were chased by the wolf. Forty-two people were left with only seven in the end. The survivors fled into the wooden house, and the wolf gave up chasing them, thus saving their lives.
But why did the wolf give up chasing?
Such a simple wooden door cannot block the monster.
Figure out the situation first. If Fu Qingyang is right, this item is very likely to be Sovereign-level, so even I am in danger, let alone saving Auntie. Zhang Yuanqing immediately floated towards the young man next to Jiang Yu'er and completed the possession.
He looked down at Jiang Yu'er's calf. There was a deep wound there that had already congealed into a thick, blackened plasma.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately leaned towards Jiang Yu'er and whispered in her ear, "Auntie, it's me."
