While they were talking in the car, the bustling and smoky cityscape of the long street with its pedestrians and bustling vendors and merchants slowly disappeared; replaced by a continuous The high wall and the aconite gate with corner eaves grille.
The heavy brick paving has been trampled out of the pitted ground, and has turned into a cleaner and neater stone pavement; the noise of pedestrians who were originally wandering on the street has gradually been replaced by the frequently passing by, ornately decorated or exquisite vehicles. and the retinue on horseback, replaced by the sound of kicking.
In the blink of an eye, the simple double-eaves gate, completely submerged in a field of wisteria and green vines, suddenly appeared at the end of the long street that suddenly opened up; and outside the gate, there were all kinds of BMW cars parked, and there were even more cars extending along the wall. The long shed that opened was filled with people dressed in various costumes.
However, just at the entrance of the alley a hundred steps away from the gate, Jiang Tian got off the bus early. As a garden party exclusively for young men and women from feudal lords and lords, the next scene will have to be faced by Kodakya himself. And he walked along the alley and came to another inconspicuous courtyard.
Here are waiting for a group of Jinwu guards wearing helmets and carrying armor and handling weapons. There are also sentries with bows and crossbows upstairs, looking at the Yingshenguan Garden across the street; they can be called upon at any time. Go to rescue and respond. After seeing Jiang Tian, they all stood up and saluted.
And Jiang Tian went to many places in a row, basically all with similar configurations. After symbolically checking and greeting their preparations, Jiang Tian also came to another portal of Ying Sheng Guan, a small door specially used for the entry and exit of slaves and supplies. A color shed specifically set up for inspection was set up here.
Every slave or servant who carries the utensils required in the garden and enters Yingsheng Temple undergoes relatively strict inspection here. In addition to the routine searches and rummaging, there were also personnel from the Xijing branch present, who shone a simple bronze image from head to toe.
It is a rare object "bone mirror" collected by the Xijing branch. It can show different perspectives of the subject through the intensity of light reflection. Therefore, it is used to check whether there are entrapped items or alien species mixed in; because alien species No matter how resembling a human being is, the inside is already deformed and mutated.
In addition, there is also a special sachet hidden in the concierge, made from the brain extract of the Fu-eating ghost; it can cause the aliens who smell the scent within a radius of ten steps to produce varying degrees of madness and agitation. And it is no longer possible to maintain disguise or to remain dormant and hidden.
This was also one of the components of the yellow smoke projected during the Battle of Xingyuan Mansion. Therefore, when Jiang Tian walked in calmly, he asked the leader of the inspection, Xin Pingping, the manager of the internal engine room, "Have you found anything?"
"Reporting that we haven't seen any real aliens." However, Xin Gongping said with a complicated expression of helplessness and a wry smile: "However, there are some other scattered discoveries." Then he handed Jiang Tian a booklet with half of the records filled in.
However, Jiang Tian only opened it and glanced at it a few times before he understood what he meant. Well, it seems that these children from the vassal families are really good at playing tricks; although the slaves they drive do not carry any dangerous goods, the variety is amazing.
From common drinks and plasters, to ropes, whips, beeswax and other props with questionable uses; there are also some pills and small bottles of powder with unknown effects. But what's even more outrageous are the overpowering things such as the delicate little wooden figure with its hair wrapped around it, the talisman with the birth date written on it.
As for the suspicious people, we also caught a few, mainly those who took on the identity of servants in advance and wanted to sneak in, but their clues were exposed under the osteoscope. While he was reporting on his work, there was suddenly some noise outside. Xin Pingping rolled up the curtain and said, "Sir, we caught another one."
I saw a delicate and harmless-looking young man, whose arms and legs were twisted and pinned to the ground. A member of the Supervision Department took a South Vietnamese osteoscope and a gas lamp as a light source, and looked down his back, immediately revealing a large area of gray and white viscera and bones.
Then, it stayed between his buttocks, and it was the shadow of a thick foreign object. Well, Jiang Tian couldn't help but shake his head. People really can't be judged by their appearance; but he was reminded of many Internet jokes in later generations such as Coelenterology. Jiang Tian didn't want to watch the show that followed.
As Jiang Tian stepped into the garden, he was greeted by the fragrant fragrance of various early winter flowers; there were late chrysanthemums that had not yet withered, wintersweet that became more fragrant as the weather got colder; there were even clusters of hibiscus that were beginning to wither at the edges; Layers upon layers of villas, halls and pavilions are scattered here and there.
On this withered and cold early winter day, the fragrant and fragrant garden is full of vitality, and the last flowers are blooming. Many young men and women in bright and colorful clothes were visiting in groups or sitting together in pairs; some were playing the piano and singing on the spot, while others were splashing ink, making tea, laughing and chatting in the pavilion.
It looks like a peaceful, peaceful scene. The last time Jiang Tian saw a similar scene was in a private garden invited by King Guangling, and he was one of them. But a year later, this time he was already a spectator.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but touch his chin, a little beard that he had deliberately grown; could it be that he has become older physically and mentally because he has been exposed to too many women around him? Immediately, he looked around for the duck that came in, but this courtyard was too big.
Therefore, Jiang Tian wandered around for most of the time, but was unable to find any trace of Ke Keya or his acquaintances. Instead, he used "zooming in" and "microscopic" perception on several small buildings scattered among them. I felt some unusual auras and strong qi and blood.
It was only when Jiang Tian approached that someone dressed like a servant emerged from the shadows and trees on the side; he secretly saluted and showed his identity card to him, indicating his identity as an internal security guard. Jiang Tian just "checked" all the way, but unknowingly came to the ditch.
Well, he resisted the urge to jump in and check it out, after all, this was in full public view. The next moment, a new prompt popped up in his field of vision: "Space-time Cave No. 2, synchronized restart is 100% completed; the time-space stagnation is being lifted..."
In an instant, his mind was like a poorly connected radio, with scattered calls/prayers vaguely ringing out; some came from Adjutant Paulina, Ms. Marlena, Miss Flanders, and also from the little bird. Blood Demon Theresa, it’s just that I couldn’t hear her clearly enough even though I was several floors away.
Later, a new prompt appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision: "Warning, a shock wave disturbance from different time and space has been detected, and the countdown to the impact is in progress...". But he seemed to feel something and suddenly jumped up to the treetop. In an instant, the ground continued to bump and shake without any warning.
There was an uproar inside and outside the courtyard, which soon turned into the sound of barking dogs and animals that quickly spread throughout the city; there were also the sounds of wailing and crying from the frightened soldiers and civilians. In those buildings where guards were hidden, people were rushing to escape.
The dusty dust and the ground shaking feeling like rolling waves soon disappeared. However, people with lingering fears couldn't help but look at the sky: because, just before, the sky was still full of sunshine, but there was a strange scene that had never been seen before.
The sun and some clouds in the sky suddenly seemed to be covered by something, becoming transparent and illusory; and a huge planetary sphere appeared out of thin air, and in this outline, continents, oceans, and suspected of being an artificial creation.
"A change in the celestial sphere?" In an instant, Jiang Tian couldn't help but have such a concept pop up in his mind. At the same time, from the regular meeting in the political hall, the golden and purple ministers who hurriedly ran out to avoid the shock could not help but look at each other in shock, or they suddenly changed their minds and issued orders one after another.
However, in the open air of a prison in Dongdu City, many people burst into tears or fell to their knees in a frenzied manner, shouting with laughter and tears: "The sky has changed." , finally changed!" "God is angry." "Destiny is not obeyed after all!"
Only then did Jiang Tian notice the commotion in the courtyard. Although no buildings were knocked down during the short and intense earthquake, causing more casualties and damage; however, in the panic, people continued to be pushed down, knocked over, and even trampled and injured.
The next moment, Jiang Tian, who was standing at a high place, reacted and began to give orders loudly and condescendingly, directing the nearby security personnel who were also in chaos and at a loss; he began to guide the crowds running around in the courtyard, and waited for opportunities to search and rescue some people who might be there. of wounded.
However, the subsequent changes and chain reactions in the Ying Sheng Guan courtyard were far more than that. Immediately afterwards, a channel connected to the underground ditch suddenly burst out with water splashing like a spring; it also sprayed countless silt and dirt onto the carved pavilions.
Immediately afterwards, the small lake covering an area of several acres as the center of the courtyard was violently rolled by turbid waves; several large and small cruise ships were slapped and crashed into the shore, causing the tourists on board to roll over. And a finely crafted boat that was several feet long in the middle was brittle and broke into two pieces.
However, when Jiang Tian initially gathered his men and issued the order, and then jumped to the shore to look for Kodak and the others, he saw a young man dressed in madder clothes sitting like a drowned rat in the rippling muddy water. Shaking like chaff, he pointed at the water of the small lake and said:
"Help...water...water, there are big guys in it..."
Following his gestures, Jiang Tian also saw the flashing shadow in the water.
The idea of excessive plot makes me feel stuck. I can't fall asleep and can't think of anything. I get up and go for a walk...
