Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"It's time for us to play."

See Shenxiu raised his hand to the air. Wearing gloves, he couldn't directly feel the humidity in the air with his skin, but there was also a way to see the gods. The search chief rubbed his thumb and index finger to feel the friction between the gloves, and he could feel the friction between the two fingers gradually decreasing through the leather.

In fact, it is so obvious that it can be seen directly with the naked eye. As the temperature drops at night, the water vapor contained in the air gradually condenses, and visibility is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under the night, the street scene in front of the two of them became darker and darker with the passage of time, the sky was covered by thick fog, and the stars gradually faded. The lights of the street lamps on the street also became hazy in the mist, being oppressed by the rolling mist, they gathered into a small beam of light. Countless tiny water droplets suspended in the air form a natural sound insulation layer. In this environment, even the sound is swallowed up, and everything is completely silent.

As the twelve o'clock ticked away, a mist settled over everything. Tranquility and deepness quietly descended on the entire block. Words can hardly describe the alienated fear, like falling into the deep sea, the "world" is moving away from you, leaving you surrounded by a strong sense of strangeness. There was a cold wind blowing from nowhere in the air, but there was no sound of wind. The lights of the street lamps in the distance flickered weakly in the thick fog, reminiscent of the will-o'-the-wisps on both sides of the Santu River, guiding the lost people to an unknown direction.

If it was an ordinary person who smelled this kind of air, he would be afraid, but Jian Shenxiu was different from Markesias, they were seasoned investigators, and they were as familiar with the air in the hidden place as they were in their own backyard. However, seeing the changes in front of them, the two still looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It's really hidden.

The Yinli hidden in the mist is a weird sign, but Xue Jianze, also known as the fog city, will naturally fog up, not to say that there will definitely be Yinli appearing when there is fog. They expected that this might happen, but they were a little surprised that it actually happened. The other party concealed every possible clue and tried their best to hide their tracks, but they were so calm when they opened the door of their own house, and even threw Yinli directly in their faces.

After the two looked at each other, their eyes became serious, and they got up from the chair. It was the first time they left this chair tonight. In the eyes of ordinary people, the people in the search bureau are like black cats at night. They also have this self-consciousness. Even if they put on casual clothes, they did not participate in the previous banquet. But now -- it's their turn.

"Crack."

The sound of icy metal colliding resounded between Jianshenxiu's fingers, and the gleaming black gun slipped from the depth of his sleeve. It landed on Jian Shenxiu's hand and was simply loaded, and Markesias also had a black short dagger in his hand, quietly appearing between his fingers like a jackdaw. The wide style of the bathrobe is very suitable for hiding some objects that are not easy to see. When the tourists passed by them, they probably did not expect that there were two armed thugs right next to them.

"Follow closely," Jian Shenxiu urged, "The space in the hidden space is very chaotic, and one wrong step can make a huge difference."

"Um."

Markesias gave a dull hum. Even when he was wearing a bathrobe, the boy was wearing a big and wide hat. After hearing the words of Jian Shenxiu, his head lightly tapped under the brim of the hat, as a gesture of meeting Shenxiu. response.

Yinli is a mysterious place. Legend has it that it is full of dangers and hidden wealth. Most people who strayed into Yinli failed to come back, or even lost their memories when they came back. Even the investigators of the Search Bureau will not rashly step into the hidden space. Usually, they only try to enter those mysterious spaces following the "path" that others have walked when the case has an investigation basis. But even so, many investigators failed to return in the end, and disappeared forever in those unpredictable depths. And entering a completely unknown hidden place is an extremely dangerous behavior. No one knows where the door leads to, and no one knows what is waiting for them behind the door.

But Jian Shenxiu and Markesias had experience in dealing with such situations, and the two walked back to back cautiously in this fog. Markesias was responsible for observing the surroundings, and Jian Shenxiu was responsible for finding the way forward. The hooded boy is good at this kind of guard work. He has a special physique, and his facial features are far sharper than that of Jian Shenxiu, so he can detect sudden crises faster.

But a moment's search turned up nothing. The streets that were previously filled with various objects suddenly became empty after the thick fog fell, and the two of them walked among them, as if they were walking on a boundless open land. Even the chair that the two of them were sitting on disappeared after they left, and disappeared from the sight of the two of them within a few steps. When I tried to find the past again, I couldn't find the previous location at all.

Quiet and deep. Nothing can be seen in the fog, and the starlight at night cannot penetrate the fog, leaving only the trembling darkness and the faint light of distant street lamps in sight. There was a dead silence around, and there was no response to the footsteps. It was obviously a street that had been observed countless times during the day, but walking in it now seemed to be in a completely strange place.

"We just walked one hundred and twenty-seven steps to the north," Shenxiu suddenly stopped halfway, showing vigilance.

"If there is no problem, we should have walked into the street and reached the shop on the right side of the street."

"But there's nothing here." Markesias immediately understood the meaning of Jian Shenxiu, "the positioning system has no feedback, and the most basic compass direction is also disordered."

"There are two possibilities, either we have lost our direction now," Jian Shenxiu frowned, "or we are no longer in the previous space."

"I'm sure we didn't go wrong just now, we've been heading in one direction." Markesias replied in a low voice. He has keen five senses and a special sense of direction, even if he is trapped in the environment, he can still discern the correct direction, so he dares to make such a judgment.

"Well, the direction of the street light has not changed before." Jian Shenxiu affirmed his thoughts, pointing to the will-o'-the-wisp street light in front of the mist, "I just deliberately chose to go to the right of it, but the direction of the light source has not changed. It hasn't changed, it's always been our eleven o'clock direction."

"It seems that it is a 'guidance'." The inspector narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the blurred light source. "You can't get out of this space if you walk in other directions. That's the hidden path reserved for visitors."

"Do you want to follow?" Markesias asked in a low voice with vigilance, "It might be a trap."

"Go up and have a look." Seeing Shenxiu, he said without hesitation, "We haven't entered the 'gate' yet. If we can't find the way, we will get lost here when the sun rises, right? Find the way."

"yes."

After receiving the order, Marchesias nodded directly in response. He no longer asked Jian Shenxiu any questions, but silently stood by his side. Once the plan is made, all that needs to be done is to execute it. This boy is an excellent executor, only that is beyond doubt.

The two walked in the direction of the street light. This action is fairly easy to do—rather, it is more difficult not to do it. In a dark environment where you can hardly see your fingers, the light source that cannot judge the distance is the only reference in your sight. If the two of you have a sense of direction far beyond ordinary people, it is actually difficult to walk one meter in a direction other than the light source. Like going to heaven.

Almost at the same time as they took steps, the two felt the change in the space. different from previous advances. This time they can really feel the real sense of "moving". If it is said that in the previous advance, they hardly felt any feedback from the "environment" to them. Except for the tactile sensation of their legs still moving, they didn't even feel that they were moving. Then the first step towards the direction of the light source gave them the feeling of "I am indeed moving", as if there was a sudden fluctuation in the silent space around them, and they actually "stepped forward".

This kind of feedback caused the two people to pause at the same moment when their footsteps fell. "This is the right way," the two thought at the same time. But it made the two more vigilant, because it also means that this is "the path the other side wants them to take."

What awaits them ahead?

Seeing Shenxiu staring at the only light source in the unpenetrable darkness and chaos in the distance, his red pupils shivered slightly.

is it dangerous? Or nothing?
