Bai Ye balled up the leaflet in his hand and held it in his hand.
Her eyes looked at the tall buildings around the square, her expression slightly solemn.
Times Square was originally a very lively place for activities in the DC area. A few years ago, there were even frequent turf wars between young roller skating guys and square dancing ladies.
In just three to five years, this place has become completely empty.
Some surrounding factories were still buzzing with the hum of machines, but it was pitch dark with no lights on. The fully mechanized factory area has truly become a black light factory.
"The occurrence of realm masters and realm events are all caused by people, right?" Bai Ye suddenly asked.
Ana Shen nodded: "The generation of psychic energy is inseparable from human spiritual will. You are right to say that."
"Is there any surprise?"
Ana Shen frowned.
The clown's voice sounded in his heart: [It's not that there were no surprises at all. Some objects that concentrate the spiritual will of countless people may also cause psychic events. 】
Ana Shen asked in her heart: "What about?"
Clown: [For example, a statue of a god is worshiped by the world. Many people place their visions on the statue. Monsters with strange abilities may also be born in the current environment. 】
Ana Shen followed what the clown said, changed it slightly and explained to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked around: "Does Times Square have the conditions for formation you mentioned?"
"For the time being, it is not possible."
According to what the clown said, unless it is a place like a temple or ancestral hall, and it must be a temple with strong incense, only a prosperous ancestral hall is possible.
After all, if a very small number of people's willpower is entangled in a certain object, allowing it to be born with psychic energy, then these few people should have awakened or degenerated into realm masters long ago.
If that were the case, Times Square would not be as peaceful as it is now.
"The text message you received only said DC area. Maybe it has nothing to do with this place."
Bai Ye thought for a while and said: "We will split up later. The awakened ones have a strong sense of spiritual energy. The two of us are looking for it together. It is best to find out the problem before dawn."
Ana Shen nodded, having no objection to Bai Ye's arrangement.
We originally decided to gather here just because Times Square is a landmark building and easy to find. It just so happened that he found another leaflet here.
But what he was a little confused about was why Bai Ye didn't notify the Special Affairs Bureau about investigating psychic events? Isn't it more efficient to send someone to support than two people to fight blindly?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not show them.
It was just after eight forty, and the night was still very long.
"Then take action."
Ana Shen borrowed the clown's power to turn the shadow into a large net, covering half of the square. As the big net was recovered, the promotional pages scattered on the ground were gathered into his hands one by one.
A thick stack quickly accumulated.
Ana Shen dragged several kilograms of promotional pages to the aunt who was picking up waste, and then stuffed all the waste paper into the nylon woven bag at the aunt's feet.
"Aunt Wang, if you really can't survive, go back to the nursing home. I still need someone to take care of me there."
The old woman who picked up garbage turned around, revealing her familiar face that looked a little weathered. It was the nurse who took care of Qin Qiubai in the nursing home before.
Aunt Wang frowned a little: "Shen... Doctor Shen, I didn't mean to cheat on your wages. I... I really can't get away from home recently..."
Ana Shen waved his hand: "It was agreed that the salary would be paid in advance. You have only been away for a day, and no one said you wanted to spend that money."
"I...but I..."
Aunt Wang clutched the woven bag tightly and hesitated to speak.
Bai Ye saw that Ana Shen didn't leave the square for a long time, and when she was about to leave, she pulled back.
"What's wrong?" She walked up to Ana Shen, looked at Aunt Wang, and then turned to Ana Shen with a questioning expression.
Ana Shen didn't want to tangle more with Aunt Wang, so he explained casually: "It's nothing, I met an acquaintance."
Bai Ye glanced at Aunt Wang suspiciously.
I found that she was just an ordinary woman in her fifties. Because she picked up scraps, her clothes were not even clean.
In the files of the Special Bureau, it is clearly stated that Ana Shen is an orphan.
Could it be a neighbor?
Bai Ye felt that since awakening the power of psychic energy, his mind seemed to have become stupid: "...Don't we still need to investigate possible accident points? Let's go."
Aunt Wang suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
She let go of the nylon bag in her hand, looked at Shen Yan awkwardly, and said, "Shen... Doctor Shen, can I invite you home for a light meal?"
Just when Ana Shen was about to refuse, the clown's voice rang out: [Don't refuse now, use my power to take a good look at her before speaking! 】
After saying that, a black mist had already filled Ana Shen's eyes.
The next moment, Aunt Wang's eyes became colorful in Ana Shen's eyes.
Color blocks symbolizing various emotions are almost covered all over Aunt Wang's body. You know, even if a person is about to collapse emotionally, those color blocks will only cover the face at most.
[She is contaminated by other people's emotions. Look carefully at these color blocks. 】
Ana Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and vaguely saw that behind each color block, there was a faint thread stretching from all directions.
The colorful patch of color is like a cocoon in a net, and Aunt Wang is the prey in the cocoon.
[Pollution does not come from the Awakened, let alone the Realm Master. Do you remember what I just said? This is the first time I see sentient beings weaving webs and have a relationship with a living person...]
Ana Shen responded from the bottom of her heart: "You mean, the silk threads on her body are the same as those of the Buddha statues being worshipped?"
[It's not her, she just got a little bit of it. 】
"I'm sorry, aunt, we have tasks tonight..."
Bai Ye smiled and apologized, while pulling Ana Shen's shoulders to pull him away.
However, Ana Shen grabbed her hand and interrupted Bai Ye: "We have nothing to do tonight, and we haven't had dinner yet. If Aunt Wang doesn't mind it, then we won't bother you."
"Hey, no trouble, no trouble! I...I'll go back and get ready. Do you want to go back with me or go shopping again?"
Ana Shen secretly pinched Bai Ye with one hand to shut her up. At the same time, she smiled and said to Aunt Wang, "We are with you."
…
Aunt Wang's home is also in the DC area, in an old community near a metal smelting plant.
This was originally a family building of the factory. Later, almost all the employees were laid off, and only a dozen families still live here.
Following Aunt Wang into the dark alley, Bai Ye and Shen Yan deliberately lagged behind.
Bai Ye leaned next to Shen Yan and asked in a low voice: "Why do you insist on coming here with her?"
"Look for Buddha!"
At this time, in Shen Yan's eyes, the building Aunt Wang walked into was surrounded by wishes gathered from all directions, like shining Buddha's light.
