Urban Sims

July 28th.

The sun was almost setting and the sky was getting darker.

The dark day is coming.

Yongshui Village, in a tavern at the entrance of the village.

Sitting by the window on the second floor, I watched the villagers coming and going, smiling and happily preparing fireworks, torches, lanterns, candles and other items, waiting for the arrival of the dark day like a festival. No one accepted the advice. After leaving Yongshui Village to take refuge, Chen En shook his head helplessly.

He sighed and said: "These ignorant people have been solemnly reminded many times, but they are still so leisurely and comfortable, not afraid of the threat of the murderous ancient temple."

He looked incomprehensible: "Are these stupid people really not afraid of the illusory formation covering them?"

"Of course these villagers are afraid."

Zhou Ming said: "It's just that the phantom formation hasn't enveloped you in hundreds of years. You said it would definitely come this year, but of course they don't want to believe it."

"If a phantom formation had covered this village before and killed some villagers, they would have evacuated themselves without us telling them."

In the final analysis, this is not because the villagers are stupid, but because their minds have formed the mindset that "the magic array will not come over".

In addition, they were worried that their property would be stolen. No matter how Zhou Ming and the others reminded them, the villagers were unwilling to evacuate.

Instead, they are making various preparations to celebrate the "Black Sky Festival".

29th.

The sun in the west has completely set.

The remaining light is the white of fish belly after dusk, which is gradually painted with gray and continues to deepen.

Until it turned into thick black and the visibility was less than five meters.

Near the ancient temple.

All members of the eighth group are fully armed and on high alert.

Tan Ke looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said solemnly: "There are still two hours until the dark day. Be prepared. Once the white mist overflows from the ancient temple, blast it immediately!"

It turns out that the spiritual crystal bomb planted by the action team inside the ancient temple was detonated by electric current. Once it exploded, it was powerful enough to destroy the ancient temple.

But Tan Ke knew that even if the ancient temple was blown up, it would not hurt the masterminds at all, because they did the same thing last year, but after dawn, the ancient temple returned to its original state, unscathed... as if it had not experienced the explosion.

Even so, after blowing up the ancient temple, the white mist that formed the phantom formation would at least no longer emerge from the ancient temple, and the impact of the white mist on them would be reduced.

The white mist is hallucinogenic and cannot be inhaled into the lungs, so they also prepared gas masks, which can avoid negative effects after wearing them.

In addition, they also have fine weapons such as Lingyuan armor, spirit swords, and Lingyuan guns, all equipped with them. This posture is the reason why they dare to solve the mystery of the ancient temple nearby.

"yes!"

All the team members responded in unison and cheered up.

Two hours later.

The sky and the earth were as dark as ink, and you couldn't even see your fingers.

Tan Ke and others turned on the psychic flashlights in their hands, and aimed the beam at the ancient temple.

"Woo~"

Just like the opening scene of a horror movie, a whooshing wind suddenly blew from behind.

In the dark wind, a large amount of white mist poured out from the base of the ancient temple in front of the wall.

"Detonate!"

Tank said immediately.

Han Song quickly pressed the detonator in his hand.

"Boom~"

"Boom boom boom!"

In the violent explosion, the ancient temple in front of him was instantly blown into the sky.

It turned into fragments of masonry scattered on the ground.

A crater of considerable diameter was left.

"We blew up the ancient temple!" someone shouted excitedly.

Tan Ke’s expression changed wildly!

Because the large crater created by the explosion was like a fountain, with countless white mist spewing out.

This was a situation far beyond their expectations.

The amount of white mist was huge, like a row of waves, rushing toward the action team members a hundred meters away.

"It's very foggy. Let's stay close together and don't get separated!"

Team leader Tan Ke has encountered this situation many times and already knows how to deal with it.

"Ren~Ren~Ren"

Everyone pulled out their swords and stood on guard outside, forming a circular formation.

Several others took out Lingyuan firearms and stood in the middle of the circle, pointing their guns diagonally above their heads.

White mist soon enveloped them.

"Team leader, we can't see anything, what should we do next?" A team member who was participating in this kind of task for the first time asked in a panic.

"wait!"

Tan Ke spit out one word, "This phantom array will lead the prey caught in the array to this place and then kill them. Our purpose is to wait for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear and prevent him from killing those prey...here It’s the formation eye, the mastermind behind it will definitely appear!”

Tan Ke vowed that he saw the man behind the scenes with his own eyes last year. He was a "person" wrapped in a mist. He believed that he could see this "person" again this time.

And kill him to avenge those brothers who died!

Therefore, he thinks that the best way is to wait and see.

However, the white mist sprayed out wildly for more than two hours. A gray shadow whipped up by the wind suddenly spurted out of the pit, and then the white mist stopped spewing.

It's like turning off the faucet.

The white fog in front of Tan Ke and others gradually faded and dissipated.

Under the psychic light, you can see each other clearly.

Including the big pit a hundred meters away.

"Team...Team leader, why is Bai Wu missing?" Someone asked, thinking this was too strange.

"Look at that, the white mist is running to the south!" Joey Xue said, pointing to the outline of a huge air mass-like object moving slowly southward, with a look of surprise on his face.

"not good!"

Tan Ke's face changed wildly!

"Yongshui Village, his target is Yongshui Village!"

Misstep, they completely misstep.

At this time, Tan Ke remembered what that boy Zhou Yuan said a few days ago and the guess he made, which was actually fulfilled at this moment.

Now that the phantom formation is moving towards Yongshui Village, it is obvious that the target of the mastermind behind the scenes is those nearly a thousand households!

"Team leader! Let's go back to Yongshui Village quickly! Save those thousands of people!" Han Song, who immediately understood, couldn't help shouting.

"Xiao Zhou Xiaoen and the others are also in the village!" Joey Xue was anxious. They originally didn't want to see those students fall into danger together, but in the end the danger went straight to them.

This is entirely their fault for not thinking things through.

"Go back to Yongshui Village quickly!"

Tan Ke waved his hand and everyone ran towards Yongshui Village.

…

Yongshui Village.

The celebrations to celebrate the "Black Sky Festival" have reached the most lively and joyful moment.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fireworks bloom in the night sky.

"Woooo~woooo~"

The male and female villagers holding torches formed a circle, dressed in costumes, and sang and danced happily.

On the embankment near the river, there are also many young girls squatting by the river, releasing paper flower boats folded by their own hands. There is a burning candle in the paper boat, and the light of the fire illuminates the river. , also conveys these girls’ beautiful wish to find a suitable husband.

The sound of laughter, singing and dancing echoed throughout Yongshui Village.

The "dark days" that rarely occur several times a year have become a precious festival for villagers to celebrate without sleep.

Under this atmosphere, Zhou Ming felt much better, and noticed the flirtatious glances given to him by several girls by the river from time to time.

"Hey, fog, why is it foggy over there?"

"The fog is so thick that I can't even see the lights inside."

"Where did this fog come from? Why did it suddenly become foggy?"

"No, Yao Wu, this is Yao Wu!" The man ran away, "The monster is coming, run, run quickly!"

Yongshui Village soon fell into riots.

But this kind of commotion stopped quickly after a little time in the area covered by white mist.

Then it was seen that in the white mist, many villagers seemed to be possessed by souls, their eyes were dull, and they slowly gathered together like zombies.

In the restaurant.

Chen En, wearing a mask on his face, said: "Boss, you are right, the magic array has really completely covered the village. What should we do?"

"The villagers seem to be under control and are heading towards the center of the village."

"Boss, the white fog is very thick and we can't see anything clearly. What should we do?"

"Of course I will follow these villagers to find the real black hand."

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he jumped out of the second floor window with a vigorous leap.

Chen En and others also jumped down and followed behind him.

When he reached a street, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said to Chen En and the others:

"There are many evil spirits with powerful mental attacks on this street. Don't follow me. I have to take off the mask on my face, hold my breath, and pretend to be an ordinary villager before I can go in. Don't follow me, just wait here. , if help is needed, I will release distress fireworks and you can support as quickly as possible."

Evil spirit?

This term made Chen En and others shudder, and they couldn't help but nodded.

After taking off his mask, Zhou Ming's eyes immediately lost focus, and he blended into the villagers like a zombie.

After walking two streets and a distance of more than 100 meters.

In the square in the center of the village, Zhou Ming saw a shocking scene.

A ball of high-speed rotating gray mist, like a meat grinder, continuously grinds the living villagers into white skeletons.

Countless pieces of flesh and blood were continuously swallowed up by the gray mist.

Obviously, it is enjoying its "food".
