Chapter 423: Chapter 9: Joker
Su Changxing looked as if it was obvious, "Isn’t it very conspicuous? It’s just that you didn’t see it."
Huang Keying blinked and said, "Actually, I didn’t notice it either."
"I just said it like that."
Wang Liang sat down, shrugged, and said.
Previously, he had a girlfriend, quite pretty, and then the two went to see a movie. He ca back with an indignant face and told Su Changxing, "No feeling, we broke up... She doesn’t like watching Transforrs, can you believe it?"
Not long after, Zhou An and Yi Yaqi pushed the door open and returned empty-handed.
Su Changxing was curious, "Didn’t you go out to buy food? Where are the things?"
He thought Zhou An would buy a lot of things, considering their experience in the Doomsday World, they should all be especially concerned about food.
Zhou An chuckled, "It’s behind, it’s behind."
He turned around and gestured, "Bring everything in."
"Move these to the third floor, leave this in the living room, we’ll eat it right now."
Seven or eight movers in blue uniforms walked in carrying large boxes. There were a lot of things, and they carried them back and forth four or five tis until the living room was filled with square large boxes.
There was everything—rice, snacks, and even freshly packed cooked food.
"This should be enough for us to eat for a few days."
Zhou An looked very satisfied.
Wang Liang was dumbfounded, and after snapping back to his senses, he said, "Are we stockpiling food? Is the apocalypse coming?"
Although said as a joke, it hit the mark.
Zhou An said mysteriously, "Guess what, haha, I packed more than ten freshly cooked steaks, eat quickly, the texture will change if it sits for too long."
This ti it was Huang Keying’s turn to be surprised. She looked around and said, "More than ten steaks? But there are only five of us here."
Zhou An said seriously, "I didn’t want you to go hungry."
Yi Yaqi bluntly exposed him, saying annoyed, "You’re just afraid you won’t have enough to eat."
They were eating.
Huang Keying looked at the sky outside and exclaid, "Look, sothing is falling from above."
Su Changxing looked as well.
The sky, covered with twilight clouds, had dark matter falling like mist, clearly visible, like watercolor painting the sky black, with a glossy sheen.
"That’s the black mist from that world!"
He realized these black substances were just like the black mist from the world they’d seen before.
What does this an?
Soon, Su Changxing noticed the energy fluctuations in the environnt suddenly start to fluctuate violently, and the TV screen in the living room instantly turned to static.
"What’s happening?"
Yi Yaqi opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Then, they found their phone network also beca very poor, intermittent, even loading a webpage took a long ti.
This situation felt sowhat familiar.
Su Changxing and Zhou An looked at each other, realizing this situation was identical to the Doomsday World.
Very soon, the black substances in the sky disappeared, and the sky gradually darkened, illuminated by the city’s neon.
The TV resud intermittently flickering, more frequently than before.
Yi Yaqi hurriedly ran downstairs with her phone, saying:
"The counselor just called, saying Liu Yi and others are missing and can’t be reached. Will sothing happen?"
Su Changxing thought for a while and said, "Did anyone report it?"
Yi Yaqi shook her head and said, "It’s useless, it seems many people are missing, the police force can’t handle it, they can only file a record and deal with it later."
Many people are missing?
"I’ll go out and take a look. Zhou An, you stay here with them, call
directly if there’s any problem." Su Changxing headed for the door and said.
Zhou An nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
He wasn’t worried about Su Changxing at all, given he survived situations like that before.
Two police cars were still parked by the roadside. Several officers just walked out of the accident house, including Ye Chen, who saw Su Changxing.
Seeing Su Changxing, Ye Chen reminded, "We just received a notice that many people have mysteriously disappeared, be careful, it’s best to stay ho."
They were overwheld, it was as if there were endless things to deal with. This murder case hadn’t caught the killer, and now a large number of people were missing,
Su Changxing smiled and nodded, "No problem, I’m just going to the small supermarket over there, it’s very close."
Ye Chen nodded, feeling that citizens like Su Changxing, who abide by the rules, were truly reassuring, not needing much persuasion.
Su Changxing slightly lowered his head, walked in the opposite direction, and went around the corner.
By this ti, it was late, coupled with what happened, there was no pedestrian on the roadside, only exquisite white street lamps, and empty roads.
He walked into the greenery, took out a red, white, and green Clown Mask from his backpack, put it on his face, and ca out looking like a different person.
A red fancy robe, white gloves exposing his wrists, and oversized bizarre shoes. His figure beca slimr, slightly hunched.
The mask seed to blend seamlessly with his cheeks, indistinguishable from one another,
This was his other face.
"Strange mask."
Su Changxing muttered hoarsely, not noticing the faint light on the broken pendant.
But this appearance was conducive to hiding, and no one would associate him with this Joker image, as there was no resemblance.
He ran back, following those policen from a distance, keeping up with them. With his speed, keeping up with a vehicle in the city was a cinch.
"How’s the situation over there?"
Ye Chen sat in the passenger seat, feeling the cool and slightly warm wind outside the window, his face expressionless.
A young officer in the back looked at his phone and said, "Anomalies have occurred, no trace of those people, but we’ve seen sothing else, and it can’t be captured on cara."
Ye Chen opened his thermos, took a sip of strong tea, sighed, and said:
"This world is changing, becoming sothing I barely recognize. You all be careful out there too. So things may be unsaid, but I still want to say..."
"Your own life is the most important. Don’t lose it for a mont of bravery. Our line of work was dangerous before, let alone now."
The young officer in the back chuckled, "I’m not afraid, it’s you, Captain Ye, with a wife and kids, who should be more careful."
Suddenly.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Chen saw sothing in the rearview mirror following them, running, and he quickly turned his head to look but saw nothing behind.
The officer driving widened his eyes and instinctively hit the brakes, saying, "Captain Ye, what’s wrong?"
Ye Chen sat straight again, rubbing his forehead with his left hand, feeling he was just too tense, "Nothing, I saw it wrong, keep going."
The car fell into silence, no one spoke again.
