"Xiao Zuo, I delayed you..."

"It's nothing, Master."

"Heritage of trickery...hey...this damn thing in the Age of Ending Law..."

"..."

"Do you have any regrets, Xiao Zuo? You are only thirty years old but you are full of poison. I am worried that you will die in front of Master..."

"Haha, I should have taken the first step. I have some regrets... I'm sorry, Master. I haven't been able to develop the trick after all these years of research. After all..."

"..."

"Hello, can you lend us a photo here?"

The young man's voice pulled Zuo Dao out of his thoughts, and also made him lean against the railing on the sixth floor of the shopping mall, and his gaze shifted.

Looking back, he saw the young man in a young couple speaking, and he said something embarrassed.

"As you wish." Zuo Dao, who was wearing a turtleneck shirt, replied.

Walking in the crowded shopping mall, Zuo Dao felt a little lonely for a while.

He didn't know whether it was the recollection of past memories or the fatigue brought about by the high-pressure and danger that has always existed in this world, which made him temporarily distracted before.

Zuo Dao was walking in the shopping mall, walking around like others, buying and shopping, and suddenly thought to himself:

"Does it make sense?

"Of course, kill the shadow man early to cheer up and get some sleep.

"While I have a healthy body and soul, I will study all the unfinished "spells"."

"As for what happens next, let's see."

The abnormal distraction and abnormal mood completely disappeared at this moment, and his eyes were clear.

At this time, Zuo Dao looked at the time and spoke slightly in his throat——

Two hours ago, in the car.

"Okay, let's get down to business first. You should stop and get out of the car first!" Tong Yan took out the terminal and said.

The corner of Fatty's mouth twitched: "Well... my nickname is also Fatty, not Fatty!"

"It's the same, it's the same~"

Tong Yan just walked over and saw the fat man found a place to park his car, so she clicked send.

The terminals of the three people shook slightly, and they started reading in unison.

Zuo Dao also gradually became interested in the mission they received this time.

Starting four days ago, the flow of people in Wanhe Shopping Mall has increased dramatically.

This should not be worth mentioning. After all, there are many reasons for this situation, such as promotion, publicity, hot spots, marketing, etc. It is possible.

Yesterday, an operator of the observation center chose to accompany his family to the mall due to a special vacation. At the last moment, he noticed something, so he urgently sent an encrypted message, and then entered a state of loss of contact. According to the analyzed feedback——

Here people's desires are mobilized like never before, to the point where they are reluctant to leave, but everything seems so reasonable.

They just bought more things, spent more time shopping, and did more "tap water".

Including him and his family, they were originally scheduled to spend three hours in the mall, but they unknowingly stayed for more than six hours.

This is an almost non-existent situation for an observation center operator who attaches great importance to time.

My wife also bought a lot of unnecessary things during this period, both personally and for the family. She even bought a bitter melon that the whole family would not eat. However, my wife, who often posts about her baby on social media, this time only posted various selfies and what she bought. products, and even bills.

In the end, the encrypted message said that it was his daughter who woke him up when he realized something was wrong.

She said: Dad, it always feels like there are so many eyes in the playground~

"tear--"

The fat man looked at the content and added his contribution to global warming, and immediately began to curse:

"Fat man, why the hell do I feel like I'm watching a ghost movie? Are the four of us really having fun? Damn it!"

Obviously, he already has the old building incident ptsd.

After all, it was too exciting for the fat man...

"I actually agree with Fatty, Sister Tongyan, Brother Quan.

"This kind of report feedback, as well as the operator's loss of contact, is only rated at level five. Isn't it a bit...?"

Zuo Dao said calmly, judging from the content of the information analysis, he seemed to feel a smell.

A strong ritual style.

Quan Hu explained to the two of them at this time:

"This is logically true, but the requirement for Level 4 is to have a clear ritual reaction, but they have not found it so far. According to the observation center's reply, the missing operator did not observe death, so... the investigation is conducted according to Level 5. "

Zuo Dao frowned slightly. Even if he was not an old fox, he could still be considered a middle-aged fox. How could he not understand the meaning?

Obviously, the General Affairs Bureau or the Observation Center, or even some senior officials of the two departments, chose this method because a large number of high-level events approaching the year-end sales put pressure on their own positions.

Just press it if you can. What if, maybe, maybe, it's okay?

The pain and embarrassment finally fell on the frontline investigators.

The fat man is also the one who hears some foreign voices:

"Then do we have some, um, that... follow-up support?"

"Yes," Tong Yan replied. After entering working hours, she returned to her cold state:

"All of us will carry a 'beacon', and once the ceremony is confirmed, the 'Rainbow Bridge' will be launched directly."

Speaking of this, Tong Yan hesitated:

"If you feel something is wrong, we can actually report it to our superiors and ask the team leader to replace you, but it may not work, and we may not be able to wait."

Her words made Fatty's eyes light up, but he was interrupted before he could blurt out.

"Sister Tongyan, why did you not let us come until today after what happened yesterday?"

Tong Yan didn't reply, just sighed.

She didn't say anything, but she seemed to have said everything.

"Okay," Zuo Dao nodded, and he patted the fat man in the driver's seat:

"Fat man, where are your eyeballs? Do you understand?"

I understand you hammer!

The fat man's face twitched.

It can be seen from Quan Hu’s explanation to Tong Yan and Tong Yan’s hesitation in explaining things.

Behind this matter, there must be a lot of unscrupulous people.

But there was a core point, but the two of them did not waver, and they chose the reason why they would go even if the fat guy didn't go.

They want to save people——

Not to mention the fat man, if Zuo Dao, as a member of Zang Ti's group, cannot advance or retreat, it will be difficult to say how he will be treated in the future, at least he is not optimistic about himself.

Even now, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a genius.

However, a genius who is selfish, afraid of death, and ununited...

In this mysterious world, is there really room for it?

Unless he becomes an outlaw, or is isolated for a long time, he will be unable to do anything, but this is not what he wants.

Judging from Zuo Dao's cautious nature, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't resist two factors.

One is what he said to the fat man: big eyes.

Zuo Dao was very interested in destroying the arrangement of what might be the big eyeballs, very interested.

Secondly, there is this strong "ritual" flavor.

Zuo Dao wanted to see more of the "rituals" of this world and experience the local customs.

So far, he has only understood the techniques and learned the most basic techniques. His experience of the rituals is actually not much. It is more theoretical knowledge gained these days. The few times he has experienced it are actually very vague. inside.

Plus——

"I can't be so unlucky that if I just go on a mission, it will be dangerous like the old building incident and Li Jia's order to seize the body, right?"

As Zuo Dao thought, a tiny wisp of spiritual consciousness ran into his soul sea, and he once again tried to figure out the life book transformed into two pieces of spiritual paper.

One of them was emitting spiritual essence, while the other one had no reaction at all.

And on the life sheet with the spiritual essence floating in it, there are the "birthday and eight characters" of Zuo Dao's current body.

In the destiny book, there are crosses and five grids with different light and dark colors.

"Official Luck", "Smoothness", "Grudge", "Double Soul", "Unlucky Luck"
