618: Chapter 607: Association’s Assistance 618: Chapter 607: Association’s Assistance Tao Qingqing cleared her thoughts and said to Wen Wen:
“The murders that occurred here, though they seem reasonable, still have many unexplained aspects.”
“The first is that even though the murder rate is incredibly high in this place, it still hasn’t attracted the attention of local authorities; everyone thinks they are just accidents.”
“The second point of suspicion is that all the cases have one thing in common: the victims’ families are all out of town.
I think the murderer’s idea might be to kill people to bring the families back to the town for mourning, and then catch them all at once.”
“The third is about the timing; everything started from the appearance of the Endless Stairs.
I suspect that the root of everything lies with the Endless Stairs!”
Tao Qingqing cleared her throat and, looking at Wen Wen with so anticipation, said:
“If all my thoughts hold true, then the murderer’s target should be all the town’s residents, even those not currently living in this town.”
“Why target all the town’s residents?
The first possibility is that it’s a sacrifice targeting special bloodlines, but the population of Tian Family Town is actually quite mixed.
The second is that this is an act of revenge, aid at everyone in the entire town!”
A strange light flashed in Wen Wen’s eyes, and then he said to Tao Qingqing, “All you’re saying is your conjecture.
Co talk to about your deductions after finding so evidence.”
Having said that, he lay down on the bed, turned on the TV, and started watching a boring soap opera.
Tao Qingqing felt sowhat aggrieved.
She had thought hard about these things, hoping to earn Wen Wen’s praise, but never expected to be dismissed with just a comnt.
Then, Tao Qingqing looked at the Three Cubs lying on the table.
Usually, when Wen Wen ca back, Three Cubs would crawl onto Wen Wen, but today it just stayed on the table.
…
To verify his own ideas, Wen Wen left near the church and conducted a thorough investigation of the entire town.
Eventually, he discovered that in the entire town, he was indeed the only living being; the place was so clean that even the hibernating bugs underground had disappeared.
Then Wen Wen returned to the Sanctuary and perford nurous tests, finally confirming that he had indeed not been affected by any Illusion Technique, and that the town he saw was indeed real.
By examining the feces left in the residents’ toilets and the food remaining on the dining tables, he deduced that the residents of the town had disappeared for at least ten days.
So, when Wen Wen first entered the town, he had already fallen into the Illusionary Realm!
“No, this place shouldn’t just be a simple Illusionary Realm, at least the people I saw back then should all be real, and that hundred kilos of roasted sunflower seeds is still in my Space Ring.”
Wen Wen rubbed his hair frantically.
He didn’t understand how all this had been done; it didn’t make sense to call it an Illusionary Realm, and even less so to say it wasn’t.
“Real and fake, tangible and intangible, it’s better to find a professional to co over.
Without help, I fear this is too difficult to resolve alone.”
Wen Wen opened the Ranger Terminal and reported everything that had happened here to the Association.
It wouldn’t be long before a superpower user specialized in Illusion Techniques would arrive.
While waiting for support, Wen Wen left the town and started observing it.
After waiting a while, he beca focused because he saw a bird suddenly fly out from the entrance of the town.
Before the bird flew out, Wen Wen had not seen any sign of a bird at all, until it erged and he noticed its form.
“That’s it…
Perhaps there is a false town in front of that only I cannot access, and everything in this town is still normal.”
“Every living being in the town lives within that false town, unable to perceive anything unusual, much like myself as an Outsider, who would also enter that false town imdiately, and upon leaving, would enter real space,”
“And the real town, it turns out, can be seen only by soone like , who has been exiled, to others this real town simply does not exist.”
“But this ans that the entire town is under its control!”
“It can impose illusions on the whole town that I couldn’t even detect, and can perfectly rge the false town with the real one within the sa space, allowing people and animals to co and go without noticing a thing.”
If the essence of this Containnt Item is the church that contains the Endless Stairs, then being able to do all this within the church’s bounds is not surprising to Wen Wen at all.
But if the enveloped range is the whole town, even a superpower user of the True Order Realm would not be able to create such a large, high-quality Illusionary Realm!
After pondering, Wen Wen began to observe Tao Qingqing through the chains implanted in her body.
No matter how powerful the Illusion, the Sanctuary’s status is ultimately much higher than that of the Illusion, so Wen Wen easily saw the situation surrounding Qingqing.
She was indeed still in that hotel, and on the hotel’s large bed lay a familiar figure, which was none other than Wen Wen himself.
“I really hate it when people impersonate now…
But this person must be part of the Illusion, ant to keep Qingqing from noticing anything unusual here.”
“I’d better not tell her for the ti being.
That way, I can still use her to observe the environntal situation.
Maybe if she sees through the Illusion, she will be expelled from it just like …”
After waiting an entire afternoon, Wen Wen received a phone call, wherein ca the heavily curry-scented Common Language of the Federation, and he imdiately recognized it as the accent of the Yingua District.
“Respected Mr.
Mystic Detective, I am ‘Shen Jing,’ a Ranger.
I’ll be arriving outside Tian Family Town soon,”
“How many people have you brought?”
Shen Jing paused then said, “Um…
one motorcycle.”
Wen Wen did not quite understand the aning of this statent—how many people could fit on a motorcycle?
Were only two people sent by the Hunter Association?
Soon, Wen Wen realized his thinking was sowhat naive; the size of a motorcycle from the Yingua District could not be guessed by normal standards.
A motorcycle about seven or eight ters long clumsily drove over; the motorcycle itself was only about one ter tall, the remaining six or seven ters were all people…
Wen Wen, with his mouth agape, watched as the motorcycle pulled up in front of him and stupified, he watched as more than forty people steadily alighted from it.
Among these forty or so people were five superpower users and a complete Supporter team, including various types of equipnt.
“You…
you all ca here like this?” Wen Wen asked, his mouth twitching.
A man, with a scarf wrapped around his head and skin darker than the average person, said, “Yes, we ca here just like this.”
“Don’t mind our odd poses; it’s actually very comfortable because the motorcycle is a Containnt Item.”
“When you ride this motorcycle, your weight temporarily disappears and no matter the posture, it won’t feel uncomfortable or affect the motorcycle’s operation…”
Wen Wen swallowed hard and said, “The problem is, how would ordinary people react to seeing you like this?”
Shen Jing laughed and said, “To ordinary people, it just appears as a regular motorcycle.
Let reintroduce myself, my na is Moyadi, codenad Shen Jing, and I am an Illusion Master!”
