Chapter 929 Endless Rain
Gray Realm.
The Silver King strolled leisurely on the barren land.
On his left was Chen Ling, who was wearing a bright red costume; on his right was Ying Fu, who was wearing hemp clothes, and next to him was a petite A Qian... The four of them walked together like this, and no matter their clothes, temperament, or demeanor, they were incompatible with each other, as if they came from four different worlds.
There was no communication, no interaction, everyone had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was depressing and dull.
"It's a great honor to be able to cooperate with you two this time..." After an unknown amount of time, the Silver King took the lead in breaking the silence, still smiling as always,
"It's worth it for me to leave the Wuji Realm and make such a special trip."
Chen Ling had a blank expression and said nothing.
Ying Fu seemed too lazy to pay attention, and simply pretended not to hear...
The air fell into silence again.
"Have you two been to the Wuji Realm?" The Silver King didn't care at all, and naturally brought up another topic.
"... I, we are from there."
After a long silence, Ah Qian spoke cautiously and responded to the Silver King.
The Silver King was obviously much happier when he saw someone responding to him. He turned around and asked, "Oh? You are from the Wuji Realm? Which district?"
"The first district."
As soon as these three words came out, the Silver King's eyebrows slightly raised.
"Oh~" The Silver King smiled, "That's a pity..."
He then turned to ask Chen Ling:
"What about you, Mr. Chen, have you been there?"
"No." Chen Ling responded coldly, "Also, if there is nothing important, you don't have to force a conversation..."
"..."
The Silver King raised his eyebrows helplessly.
"Since everyone thinks it's boring, why don't we just shorten the journey." The Silver King waved his hand gently.
Chen Ling took a step forward and suddenly felt that the surrounding environment flashed, and he had come to a strange area... This feeling is very strange, as if the "distance" was cut off by someone, and the next step was reconnected with the space more than ten kilometers away, spanning a great distance in an instant.
Yingfu didn't react to this, but A Qian looked around in shock, unable to understand what was happening.
Is this the power of the demigod of the God of Thieves...
Chen Ling watched the figure of the Silver King with his peripheral vision, and fell into deep thought.
Chen Ling joined the Fire Usurper because he had no choice. After all, he couldn't watch Bai Ye and the other four die in front of him; at the same time, this was also the fastest way to increase expectations.
He had been working with the members of the Dusk Society for too long, and his sense of crisis was getting weaker... Anyway, he was going to the Wuji Realm, so why not choose the most exciting and special method?
Following the Silver King and entering the Wuji Realm was indeed full of dangers, but Chen Ling was never afraid of these. The current situation reminded Chen Ling of the time when he had just arrived in the Aurora Realm not long ago, and mixed into the Fire Usurper and took the train to the Bingdao Ancient Treasure... At that time, it was also full of dangers and extremely nervous. With the improvement of his own rank, Chen Ling had not experienced that kind of excitement for a long time.
The appearance of the Silver King brought danger, but also provided a new idea and possibility for his life performance.
Next... it depends on how to find an opportunity to break the deadlock.
While Chen Ling's brain was working rapidly, everyone took a few steps and had crossed an unknown distance. The outline of a boundary in the distance was looming.
Before, Chen Ling and others were still far away from the Wuji boundary. Even the boundary train had to travel for nearly a day, but in front of the Silver King, it only took a few steps to complete it...
As Chen Ling and others took another step, they actually crossed the edge of the boundary and entered the city.
Chen Ling only felt that the surrounding scene flashed, and the stone walls full of years and the uneven brick roads appeared in front of him. Under the gloomy and dreary sky, various styles of buildings were scattered in the dimness, and Eastern and Western elements coexisted.
According to Chen Ling's understanding, after the catastrophe, the base where the Wuji Realm was located accommodated a large number of survivors from overseas, as well as top overseas scientific research talents. In the words of the year, this was an international refuge base... As the base gradually expanded into a realm, diversity and tolerance are still the characteristics of Wuji.
But the situation in front of me is still somewhat different from the Wuji Realm that Chen Ling imagined...
The moist air smells of rust and blood, and there is a faint smell of burning. There are no pedestrians in the city streets as far as the eye can see. Under the gloomy sky, everything seems weird and dull.
"Is it District 1?" Seeing the iconic clock tower not far away, A Qian's eyes lit up!
"Brother Xiao Li!! We are home!"
Ying Fu did not answer. Like Chen Ling, he slowly swept his eyes around, frowning more and more...
Back to the familiar neighborhood, A Qian, who was originally a little timid, became obviously active. She walked through familiar streets, and even saw the place where her parents and the wizards secretly saw them off when they left the Wuji Realm. It was only a few days since they left, but she felt as if she were in another world.
"Pastry shop, Ryan Hotel, Aunt Xiaolan's tailor shop, Maple Leaf Primary School..."
A Qian walked on the cobblestone road, and knew the surrounding buildings like the back of her hand. The further she walked, the brighter her eyes became.
"Brother Xiao Li, I'll be at our house soon!"
"Do you think Mom and Dad will be surprised to see us back?"
The Silver King looked at the excited Ah Qian, and noticed Yingfu's subsequent gaze, and exchanged glances with him... and then showed an elegant smile.
Yingfu's gaze was icy cold.
"Brother Xiao Li... why is there no one on the street?"
After walking for a long time, Ah Qian finally realized that something was wrong and asked in confusion.
"Ah Qian..." Yingfu hesitated for a long time, still wanting to say something.
But before he could speak, Ah Qian's eyes fell on a street-side house beside him, and he immediately let go of Yingfu's hand and rushed forward!
"Dad! Mom!! Brother Xiao Li and I are going back..."
Squeak——
The door of the house was not locked, and Ah Qian pushed it gently, and it slowly opened with a harsh sound...
The bleak and wet wind blew the windows creaking, and there was no figure in the dim living room, only two charred corpse fragments, twisted on the floor.
Their clothes had been carbonized, and the floor beneath them had been burned into two human figures, as if a raging fire had suddenly started from their bodies, turning them into ashes... There were still a few long blackened marks around them, like traces of painful struggles left when they were burned.
A Qian stood there blankly.
"What a pity." The Silver King spread his hands helplessly, "District 1... no longer exists."
