Chapter 256

"what is that?!"

A large number of civilians exclaimed.

But the night watchman seemed to understand something, and many people showed excited smiles.

The young man with the middle-aged man hurriedly said:

"Deputy Minister! It's reinforcements! It's reinforcements!"

A surprised look appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "It came so quickly."

Not long after they sent out the distress signal, reinforcements arrived, which was much faster than he thought.

But the middle-aged man is naturally happy.

He smiled: "Counterattack! Clean up all the shadows! ... Also, don't let those civilians mess up."

"Yes!"

Saying that, the middle-aged man turned into an afterimage, flew into the sky, and began to kill the shadows that had not been purified by the sun.

As he got closer and closer to the sun in the sky, the middle-aged man found that the temperature was getting higher and higher. Even at the Battle King level, he felt his skin tingling and his mouth was dry.

The middle-aged man waved out the storm and shattered a fleeing shadow. He glanced at the sun in the sky with a look of shock in his eyes.

So powerful! Who is this big man?

Not only the middle-aged man, but several other warrior king-level powerhouses in other areas are also continuing to kill the shadows in the air at this moment, feeling the scorching high temperature, and they are shocked.

With the emergence of the sun, the black clouds were rapidly dissipating, and together with the cleaning up of a group of night watchmen, it didn't take long for the black fog in the entire area to dissipate and the shadows to disappear.

The sun in the sky slowly lost its light, revealing a figure, and beside this figure, another figure appeared.

It was Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe had already dispelled the black cloud that Lu Yuan had not considered. She glanced at the tragic situation below, frowned slightly, and said:

"Fortunately we came in time."

Lu Yuan also nodded, his face solemn.

If the alienated person who controls the Soul Eater Orb uses the strange soul-devouring ability without restriction, the harm caused is too great.

Lu Yuan's eyes swept below, and the evolution cube in the body did not vibrate.

This made Lu Yuan frown, and he didn't know whether it was because the Evolution Cube was a little far below and couldn't feel it, or because the alienated person who controlled the Soul Eater Orb was not in this area.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, several figures flew towards them.

The head is a mature and beautiful woman with long white hair.

She glanced at Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, and after seeing Lu Yuan, she paused, a look of gratitude appeared on her face, and she sincerely thanked:

"It turned out to be Elder Lu and Elder Li. Thanks to the two elders who arrived in time, otherwise we may not be able to resist these shadows. I am Bai Linglong, the head of the Night Watch Branch of Xikou City. Thank you two elders here."

Li Qinghe has seen this kind of scene too much, she chuckled and shook her head:

"Minister Bai is polite, this is what we should do... By the way, when did this alienation phenomenon start?"

"More than two hours ago, a black fog suddenly appeared. At first, the black fog was not thick, and only a few ordinary people died. However, after the night watchman intervened in the investigation, the members of the night watch team also died, and then the black fog gradually changed. It became more intense and gradually formed what it is now."

Bai Linglong didn't hide anything, and spoke directly.

Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe nodded thoughtfully.

It can be seen that the alienation phenomenon in the cities that Gu An mentioned before almost broke out at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Yuan said, "Where did the phenomenon of alienation begin in the first place?"

"I'll take the two over there! You guys will handle the follow-up."

Bai Linglong spoke to Lu Yuan, and then turned around and instructed the other war kings.

The other war kings nodded, thanked Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, and then turned to leave.

And Bai Linglong brought Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe to the front of a very ordinary-looking residential building with a white exterior wall in that huge residential area.

"According to the whistleblower, the first black fog came from here. Later, the night watchman came to investigate this small building and found a large number of black shadows."

Li Qinghe sensed it, frowned slightly, and found nothing, she turned to look at Lu Yuan: "Brother Yuan, how do you feel?"

Lu Yuan's perception ability is already very strong. He felt the small building, but there was nothing unusual, and the Evolution Cube did not shake.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, then said, "Go in and have a look."

"Um."

The three entered the small building, and Lu Yuan found that there were some dark and unusual auras inside, which were left by the black soul controlled by the Soul Eater Orb.

In addition, there are many corpses in the corridors and corridors.

These corpses were pale and had no wounds on their bodies, but they had lost their vitality.

Their souls were devoured.

Lu Yuan glanced at the corpse on the ground and then withdrew his gaze. When he was in Xili City, Lu Yuan had already seen the corpse whose soul was swallowed by the Soul Eater Orb.

This residential building has a total of twelve floors, and the three Lu Yuan checked all of them from the first floor to the twelfth floor.

Bai Linglong looked at the two of them expectantly: "How is it? Two elders, have you gained anything?"

Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Linglong's eyes, and he said, "Then I'm afraid the alienated person hiding in the dark will continue to attack at any time."

Lu Yuan thought for a while and said, "We'll stay here for the time being."

Li Qinghe also nodded: "Check it out in the vicinity during this time, maybe there will be something to gain."

Bai Linglong was slightly relieved when she heard that Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe would be guarding here next, she nodded: "I see, I will trouble the two elders next."

…………

Xikou City, South District.

In a dark basement, a beautiful-looking black-haired woman exhaled slightly, and there were strands of gloomy black mist flowing in her dark eyes.

There was a hint of fear in her eyes:

"Your Excellency is right, that Lu Yuan is really strong! He killed all my soul servants so easily. If he is found..."

Thinking of this, her face changed slightly.

However, when she thought of the task the adult gave her, she could only grit her teeth and her eyes became firm:

"Again at night! Drag them all here!"

At the same time, in other cities where the alienation phenomenon of Soul Eater Orbs appeared, there were a large number of war kings and war emperor-level powerhouses to support, and finally put out the alienation phenomenon.

However, some cities were severely damaged, with more than 10,000 deaths, while others were slightly better.

Ordinary civilians in these cities are in a state of panic, trying every means to leave the city where they are, so as not to be affected the next time alienation appears.

Of course, those who can leave are businessmen and elites with certain assets, and the price of flying aircraft is not affordable for ordinary people.

Even so, seats on the aircraft are still hard to come by, and not everyone can get on the aircraft.

As for the real ordinary people, they can only continue to live with fear. The residents of the areas that have been alienated and destroyed before can only temporarily live in other areas under the guidance of the consul.

For a time, there was a lot of chaos in several cities. Even if the sheriffs did their best to suppress them, the frequency of crimes was still increasing rapidly.

And the genetic warriors, people like the night watchman, have no time to care about the chaotic civilians. Now they can only fully investigate the location of the controller of the Soul Eater Orb, in order to deal with the source as quickly as possible.

Only then will these cities slowly recover.

The large-scale alienation phenomenon in several cities has even been heard in other cities in the Red Maple Empire. For a time, many people were worried and afraid.

But ordinary people without power can't do anything no matter how worried they are.

…………

Imperial Capital, the headquarters of the Night's Watch.

Gu An sat in the president's office with a gloomy face, listening to Secretary Liu's report, his face was extremely ugly.

"What the hell is the Soul Eater Orb? Who made it out? What is his purpose? These eleven cities now involve a lot of energy and powerhouses within us, and sooner or later there will be trouble."

Secretary Liu's face was also a little worried, and he said:

"Now I can only hope that they can quickly find the owner of the Soul Eater Orb."

"Humph! Even the Lord War Emperors have begun to ask about this matter. I hope it will not make a big deal. Otherwise, the person behind the Soul Eater Orb will not have a better time. By the way... How about the underground containment room? Yes. Nothing out of the ordinary?"

After receiving the anonymous text message, Gu An put the security of the underground containment room in an increasingly important position. Now that the outside world is turbulent, there must be no mistakes in the underground containment room. Otherwise, I am afraid that the situation will become very bad.

Hearing Gu An's words, Secretary Liu said, "The underground containment room is still as usual. Elder Xingyun and Elder Meg are the two war emperors who are guarding with other war king elders. Even if war emperor wants to come in, It will be discovered, and Lord Zhandi will definitely take action at that time."

Hearing this, Gu An was slightly relieved and nodded: "That's good, the underground containment room must not be lost."

…………

West Exit City.

Bai Linglong took Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe out of the residential building. In the air, Bai Linglong said:

"There are no other clues about the alienation phenomenon now. Next, our night watchman will make every effort to investigate the location of the Soul Eater Orb. Why don't the two elders meet the branch with me first and go to the reception room to rest?"

Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe looked at each other, Li Qinghe said with a smile:

"No need, let's investigate together. Eleven cities are now plagued by Soul Eater Orbs. If we can deal with it as soon as possible, we can also help other cities."

Hearing this, Bai Linglong smiled and said:

"That's the best thing, then it would be more troublesome for the two elders."

"Should be."

Li Qinghe smiled.

She turned her head to look at Lu Yuan: "Brother Yuan, let's go to different places to look for it, maybe there is something else to gain."

Lu Yuan naturally had no opinion, he nodded and said with a smile, "That's good."

Afterwards, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe flew towards the two directions of Xikou City respectively.

During the flight, the shadow of Lu Yuan swayed slightly, and the shadows quickly left and moved in the shadow.

Shadowland.

Lu Yuan intends to search a large number of shadows together. Although the evolution cube can only be sensed and used by himself, there is no way to feel it in the shadow clone, but even if the evolution cube cannot be used, with more shadow clones, it will be faster to find unusual places. , the efficiency will be higher.

Lu Yuan's current strength is much stronger than when he first broke through to the Battle King level. He has released hundreds of shadow clones, and with Lu Yuan itself as the center, he conducts a carpet-like search within a radius of 50 kilometers.

During the search, Lu Yuan found that the night watchman and other children of the gene warrior family who should be in the city were also searching together.

For the night watchman branch, it is their own job, but for the children of those big families, if the Soul Eater Orb continues to grow, perhaps the entire Xikou City will be abandoned, and they will lose the most important foundation at that time, which is related to the family. Inheritance, do not dare to slack off.

At the door of a room in a community, two strong men with fire axe grinned on their faces and kept kicking the door hard.

One of the strong men shouted: "Ma De, open the door for Laozi!! The two brothers just want to get some money to spend, don't make Laozi angry, be careful that Laozi will kill you!"

A terrified voice came from the door of the room: "Aren't you afraid of the sheriff coming over like this?"

"Sheriff?" A strong man smiled: "My cousin is the captain of the nearby security team, do you think they will come? And now they are busy, hurry up to open the door, or even if I hack you to death, you It's dead in vain!"

In the room, a gentle man with glasses was holding the little boy, with a hint of fear on his face, and the little boy was even more shivering, and an elegant woman beside him also looked worried.

"Husband, what should I do?"

There was a quiver in the woman's voice: "They might hit the door."

The Sven man's face was pale, his eyes flashed, thinking about what to do.

Just then, a terrified scream came from outside the door.

"Ah! What the hell are you?? Go away!"

"Ahhh!!"

The screams made the three members of the family tremble, and the little boy burst into tears. He bit his lip and didn't dare to cry.

The gentle man and woman's faces were as white as paper.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, the two looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

Then the gentle man took a deep breath and said, "You wait here, I'll take a look."

He came to the door, looked outside through the cat's eyes, and found that there was no one outside.

The gentle man was stunned for a moment, then swallowed and said, "Are you still outside?"

There was no response from outside, the gentle man glanced at the woman, took a deep breath, inserted the safety bolt, and quietly opened the door.

Through the crack of the door, the gentle man saw two strong men lying on the ground, their hands were clutching their necks, their faces were purple and blue, and it seemed that they had strangled themselves to death.

Seeing this scene, the gentle man's heart skipped a beat, a cold air came out of his heart, and goosebumps arose.
