The canopy accurately simulates the darkness before dawn.
The Order Bureau Headquarters Building is located in the east of Beicheng District, adjacent to the largest commercial office building group in Beijing.
Not only do dozens of subsidiaries controlled by the four gatekeepers have set up offices in these office buildings, but also private outsourcing companies of a certain scale are leasing workplaces, hoping to get a share of the business controlled by the gatekeepers in the future.
Therefore, the main street in front of the Order Bureau headquarters building is extremely wide, with skyscrapers on both sides. There are almost no shops and few pedestrians. There are only luxury cars taking off and landing all year round. Even the air seems to have the smell of banknote ink.
However.
A block away to the south, there is a narrow old street in the shadow of the skyscrapers. There are some dilapidated warehouses on both sides without any planning. In front of the warehouses are storefronts, which often sell some worthless things, most of which are second-hand. Commodities, furniture, electrical appliances, bionic pets and some obsolete civilian robots.
Among them, the lift door of a store selling second-hand furniture was closed, and even the light box at the door was not turned on.
Inside the lift door, Li Liang frowned.
It's too quiet outside.
He had been to this old street before, collecting some bionic pets, repairing them and selling them to make some profit. Although there were not many people and cars in the impression, there would never be a single person like now.
And it's almost five o'clock now, and some workers should get up and get ready to go to work.
As a result, he waited for more than ten minutes and did not see any pedestrians or vehicles passing by.
The only possibility is... someone blocked the street.
Bureau of Order?
Closing the street is equivalent to telling others that there is a problem with this street. House should not be so reckless.
That could only be Li Chengshu or the fourth princess.
In Ling's field of vision, there were no Horcruxes or circulating spirits, but there were quite a few beating hearts, gathering in twos and threes, very regularly, and they should all be civilians.
However, there is still something unusual. The flickering spirits in the air seem to be extremely rare.
Originally, spirits were rare anywhere on the earth, but the scarcity here was too obvious. For more than ten minutes, Li Liang could only see the flickering of spirits that could be counted in one hand.
Only people like him who can "see" spirits with their own eyes can detect this. For psychics, or even any other magicians and magicians, the concentration of spirits is already so thin that it can be ignored, even if it becomes 0 There is no difference.
He quickly realized that someone must be attracting spirits nearby.
Judging from the descriptions of Brother Shui and Old Tang, most of the spirits of the psychics come from the "New World", which shows that their ability to absorb spirits is very poor, so they wiped out the spirits in an area on the earth. Only counselors from the spiritual world can do this.
It seems that Tam is not sitting still.
suddenly.
A slight sound came from diagonally opposite, it sounded like someone walking and crushing a glass bottle.
Li Liang followed the sound through the small window on the lift door.
There was indeed a crushed bottle on the sidewalk across the street, but...no one was there.
He immediately closed his eyes. In Ling's vision, seven beating hearts were suspended, moving from right to left.
At this moment, there was a hint of bitterness in his heart.
Invisible.
That’s right, spaceships can become invisible, but there’s no reason why people can’t become invisible.
The Marginal Business Department not only sent a spacecraft from the moon, but also brought weapons and equipment from Uptown.
This group of invisible gunmen must have been patrolling. They were far away just now, and then they passed in front of him.
Enemies are like cockroaches, if there is one, there will be a whole nest.
I don’t know how many people from the Marginal Business Department are ambushing here, but there are actually people patrolling a block away.
Li Liang knew better that facing an invisible enemy, it was useless for him to see alone. Once a conflict broke out, he would not have time to point out the location of each invisible gunman, and his own troops would be completely passive and beaten.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he suddenly remembered that the last time he tried to detect Saolis, a certain existence was able to trace back his senses. At that time, he thought it was something dangerous. Now it seems that if the consultants can Actively attracting spirits, indicating that the strange power may come from... Tam?
In this case, there is a possibility that Saolis is locked up with the consultant.
So, Li Liang closed the small window of the lift door, sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on the double-ring ring to feel Seolis's position.
Due to the close distance, he immediately sensed Seolis' presence.
But just like last time, the figure formed by the witch's devout faith seemed to be blocked by something.
At this time.
The thing that "blocked" Saolis suddenly moved like a living thing again, tracing back to his "sight".
This time, Li Liang did not escape and kept sensing Saolis.
The next second, he suddenly felt something emitting warm light. To be precise, it was a plate-like object with a symmetrical structure composed of seven fragments. The fragments were not closely spliced, but loosely connected. Floating, interconnected by beams of light.
What is this stuff?
The luminous plate rotated slowly, and for a moment, an extremely long, muffled voice sounded in his mind:
"Ta~~~~mu~~~~"
Tam?
Li Liang was stunned, wondering if he heard wrongly, why Tam spoke like this, like a doorbell without electricity.
Then, another voice came from his mind: "I~~~ am~~~~ta~~~~mu~~~~"
There was definitely no running away this time, it was Tam.
Although I don’t know why Tam can only talk like a sloth, it’s good news as long as he is contacted.
The only problem is that he doesn't know how to reply, so he can only concentrate and think: I am Li Liang, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Unexpectedly, Tam immediately "said": "Slow down~~~~~More~~~~~Noise~~~~"
Li Liang looked confused.
Slow down and make noise? Copy slower? Crangrass?
What do these three sounds mean?
Fortunately, Tam's voice came again soon: "I~~~~please~~~~Gu~~~~ask~~~~go~~~~find~~~~you~~~~"
After saying this for three full minutes, Li Liang finally understood.
Tam prepares to send advisors to find him.
He quickly concentrated on "thinking" about the invisible gunman he just saw and his judgment.
Tam's voice was still slow: "Oh~~~No~~~~close~~~~tie~~~~~"
Then he felt the warm glow disappear.
this……
The "call quality" of Magic is also too bad.
K approached and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?"
“The consultant was contacted and they sent someone to us right away.”
K nodded and asked again, "How did you contact me?"
Li Liang thought for a while and said, "Telepathy."
"..."
K looked like "I suspect you are kidding me."
Li Liang smiled enigmatically.
Who the hell knows how to contact me?
ten minutes later.
There was a sudden knock on the lift door of the store.
Boom boom.
Li Liang winked at K, squatted half-crouched, reached out to open a gap in the small window on the lift door, and waved his hand on the window.
No movement.
Only then did he slowly stand up and take a quick glance out from the side.
There seemed to be nothing outside.
Looking at K again, he slowly put his eyes on the window and looked up, down, left and right.
There was no one in front of the door.
Could it be invisibility magic?
He closed his eyes...and opened them quickly.
Overthinking, there is no one at all.
K gave him a questioning look.
"No one," Li Liang said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another clear knock on the lift door.
Boom boom.
The sound is so close!
This time, Li Liang put his eyes on the window without hesitation and looked out.
Still no one!
Thinking about his feet, he glanced at the ground and saw a stone the size of a fist.
really.
Someone threw stones at the door.
Maybe the counselor is nearby and stoning the door is a signal.
Li Liang turned to K and said, "It's a stone."
K's thinking was obviously the same as his, and he said softly: "We should be prepared to open the door and avoid staying."
"Um."
Li Liang waved his hands, and after K lay on the ground and set up the assault rifle, he pressed the switch on the wall. The lift door shook, and a gap opened up enough for people to roll in.
next moment.
A stone rolled in.
For a moment, Li Liang and K stared at the stone spinning on the floor with their eyes wide open at the same time.
Li Liang's scalp went numb, this time he really saw a ghost.
K rolled on the spot, picked up the stone and threw it out through the crack of the door. Apparently he thought it was a grenade disguised as a stone.
The moment he shook his hand, suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in his palm: "Ahhhh~~"
"Hold!"
K was startled and immediately lost his aim and threw the stone against the lift door.
Boom!
The stone hit back again. Gululu spun around on the ground twice and said, "Excuse me, of the two humans standing here, which one is called Li Liang?"
"..."
With the light coming from the crack of the door, Li Liang stared at the stones on the ground, not knowing what to say.
This scene is so weird.
K pulled off his sunglasses and said in shock: "Can stones talk?"
Unexpectedly, the stone spun around, and he said angrily: "Are you fucking polite? Open your two light-sensing organs made of flesh and take a good look. We are the servants of the Creation Titan, the everlasting Sa. Longxietie.”
K's outlook was shattered and he opened his mouth: "Is iron able to speak?"
Li Liang thought to himself, Tie is not only good at talking, he can also curse.
Not surprisingly, this stone is the consultant.
He knelt down and asked, dumbfounded, "What's your name?"
The stone turned in a circle: "We are Saron."
"Salon..." Li Liang said seriously, "You are so tall that you can get stuck in the sole of someone's shoe when you step on it. How did you become a consultant?"
Saron was stunned, and after a moment he said: "If you talk like that, do you believe that we will bump into you?"
"..."
Li Liang seriously doubted that Saron learned human language from an old man in Beijing.
He stood up and closed the lift door, turned on the light, looked at the fist-sized stone on the ground, and wondered: "No, why are you here?"
"We are looking for Li Liang. Which one of you is Li Liang?"
Glancing at K who was in a daze, Li Liang said helplessly: "I am Li Liang."
"I told you earlier, what's the matter," Saron said angrily, "Mr. Tam asked us to come to you, saying that there were thousands of humans gathered around, and asked you if there was any way to escape?"
Only then did Li Liang notice that when Saron spoke, the sound did not come from inside the body, but was produced by the vibration of an extremely thin sheet structure on the side.
After coming back to his senses, he thought for a moment and asked, "Who is in the dungeon?"
Saron replied: "There is the respectable Pardon Master, the noble Toad Prince, the ferryman of the Dark Spirit Sea, Mr. Tam, the stupid undead, the secret magic, the disgusting succubus, Yalali, and the leaky one. Canned food, one-seventh, stupid human cub Li Xiaozhi, witch Saolis, and us.”
K said in a low voice: "Ten people."
"Huh?" Li Liang was stunned, then turned around and said, "I heard there were seven people?"
K frowned: "A Master, a Prince, a Ferryman, Tam, Secret Technique, Yareli, Canned Food, Li Child, Saolis and this piece of iron, aren't there ten of them?"
"..."
Saron was stunned for a full minute before murmuring: "Excuse me, human being, has your protein brain expired?"
"Uh..." Li Liang pursed his lips, "I guess Master, Prince, and Ferryman are all Tam's titles..."
K coughed, put on his sunglasses, squatted down and smiled at Saron: "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will stuff you into that human ass over there?"
Saron was stunned, turned slowly, "looked" at the shop owner who was tied up as a mummy and knocked unconscious on the bed by the wall, and then slowly turned back: "We..."
K held out his hand.
"We are joking with you," Saron said in a serious voice.
Li Liang was amused: "Hey, how did you become a consultant?"
"We, Saronite, can split and become two independent individuals," Saron became very "well-behaved", "We have just been born, but ours is a powerful Saron."
Li Liang seemed to understand: "You mean, there is a big Saron in the dungeon, and you are a split from that Saron, also called Saron?"
"Yes."
So it turned out that Li Liang suddenly realized that this was a race of matryoshka dolls.
"Are all consultants like this?" K obviously always thought that consultants should at least look similar to humans.
"There are many different forms of life in the spiritual world," Li Liang explained. "If it is a carbon-based creature, it will look similar to us. If it is not carbon-based, it can look like anything."
K stared down at Saron on the ground, silent.
It takes time to rebuild the three views. Li Liang patted K on the shoulder, squatted down and asked Salon: "What's the situation in the dungeon now?"
Saron's voice was sharp and he spoke very fast:
"Mr. Tam arranged the illusion to block the prying eyes of the inorganic life, and then established a magic array to attract many spirits. With the help of us, the consultants have subdued the humans and four people guarding the dungeon. The undead puppet, however, the illusion cannot move, and there are too many humans outside the building. Mr. Tam is not sure of escaping the encirclement before his spirit is exhausted."
"Wait a minute," Li Liang said hurriedly, "Inorganic life? What inorganic life?"
"Oh, you humans call it...'the New World'."
