Chapter 1503: Chapter 668: Anticipation
"Half a month ago, on a night over the Five Dragons District, someone reportedly saw a large shadow covering the clouds drifting over the district. After an investigation, it was possibly due to a large number of drones flying by that night."
"In the city center park’s large pond, overnight, all the fish mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only bubbling blood in the water, which is quite suspicious, but the culprit has not been found yet."
"Five days ago, during an inspection of the sewers on Xiansen Street, a sewer worker was dragged away by a mysterious animal, leaving only remains when searched later. There is currently suspicion of a giant crocodile inhabiting the area, so the area has been cordoned off."
"There’s a rumor that the large mirror of the Lowe Mitchel clothing store suddenly cannot reflect people’s shadows, and the owner has mysteriously stored it away, claiming the mirror is connected to the Naihe Bridge. After an investigation, the mirror showed no abnormalities; it was just a ploy by the owner to sell the store."
"Identical rumors have suddenly sprung up in seven or eight schools, claiming if you step on someone’s shadow on the school stairs at sunset, it could drag the person into hell..."
One by one, mysterious or strange rumors, messages, and information entered Fang Yu’s eyes.
But to be honest...
This information, while a bit abnormal, indeed has its gimmicks, but saying it’s all about demons or related to the supernatural seems... a bit exaggerated.
These times are not what they once were.
Uncle Qi Sheng is aware of the existence of the supernatural, which is why he’s started paying attention to various abnormal events.
But in fact, except for that one night, Fang Yu’s past everyday life hardly involved hearing about supernatural events.
Perhaps it was because, back then, he was just an ordinary person. Hearing about paranormal events or monster murder cases was merely urban legends to him, not taken to heart, as he was a staunch atheist then.
Having now experienced so much personally, he realizes some things can’t be so absolute.
Regarding the information Uncle had people collect, there are a few that Fang Yu might check out in person to see what’s going on.
Fang Yu investigating and an ordinary person investigating are two different matters.
Now, in his Heart Soul state, he can instantly see issues that ordinary people can’t perceive, naturally making it easier to uncover the truth.
Each piece of information, when opened, contains detailed investigation records and various information, so going on-site to check is not a problem.
After taking a simple note of it, Fang Yu turned off the screen.
Now is not the time.
When the team becomes slightly more stable, and he can ensure some level of safety even when offline, he will take time to investigate those places.
Previously, with Monk Quan Heng, even if he was unconscious, the team’s safety could be ensured.
Now, being the one holding the fort, he can’t be offline for too long, to avoid an incident without immediate response.
Outside, even on official roads, it’s quite dangerous, let alone moving a group. This human presence is rather fatal to demons.
Perhaps the team has already been targeted by demons, just waiting cautiously without taking action.
Field demons sometimes behave a bit like wild animals.
If injured during hunting, it affects their survival rate, as there’s competition among demons as well.
"Mr. Fang." Brother Qi had been waiting at the door for some time.
"Hmm."
From those video files, Uncle has probably had that group of professional players for a while.
After all, moving from elsewhere to Rolling Bone City entails significant risks.
At any time, the wilds are synonymously dangerous.
With Tianyuan Town captain-level strength, even Thousand Households level combat power, they are eligible to adventure in the wild, though casualty rates... cannot be overlooked.
Staying near the city or following the official roads is better; if the route deviates slightly, not many out of hundreds could reach Rolling Bone City alive.
So, that bunch Uncle groomed should have accumulated some strength, and... should have some competence? Otherwise, if they were all rookies, they’d have been wiped out already.
Fang Yu didn’t think deeply about it and returned to his room to check if Lei Shenhao’s blacklist was lifted.
With Lei Shenhao’s financial ability, acquiring information about Rolling Bone City might be more efficient and accurate than Uncle’s group.
But unfortunately, upon opening the thread, let alone Lei Shenhao’s reply, even viewing records were only his, and no one paid attention to his post.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
Fine, might as well have Uncle find this guy’s contact info and call his phone number directly, skipping the tedious forum exchange.
Now, with the big tree to lean on, some matters are easier to accomplish than he thought, at least in reality.
Though Lei Shenhao is wealthy, compared to Uncle, it’s a wizard before a giant.
However, in cultivating within this new game field, it’s naturally the rich second generations like Lei Shenhao who invest more, are willing to spend, and know more.
