Chapter 750

The moon rises brightly.

On the top of the dense buildings, the moon is like a fluorescent white kite, hanging far away in the dark sky.The night wind blows the animated sky and clouds, and it looks like the moon is swimming among the clouds by itself.

Looking at this scene, he involuntarily opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to chew on the incomplete moon.

"...Zhou Yu."

Hongye's call came from behind him, Zhou Yu turned his head and saw that the cohabitant had already put on a set of blue riding clothes.

"Are you going to use the motorcycle tonight?"

"Well, because the destination is not very clear. If you want to patrol, you should ride a bicycle."

As Hongye said, the purpose of the two tonight is to search.To be precise, Hongye wanted to search for someone, and Zhou Yu was entrusted to help.

Zhou Yu himself didn't know what he could do for Hongye, who had inhuman powers.After Aosier's death, Hongye's attitude towards him has undergone some subtle changes.At first it was reluctance to let him participate, but now it has become an active request to intervene.

While sitting on the back seat of Hongye's motorcycle, Zhou Yu was still thinking about these things.He didn't even know what he was participating in, it was just an invitation.

When he came back to his senses, the surrounding streets had become very familiar.That is the Yongning neighborhood where "Vanishing Alley" is located.Hongye is still driving forward, and according to this direction, the place they are going to is likely to be Aosier Road.

"Does the person you're looking for live here?" he asked at a red light.

Hongye shook her head and said, "I didn't come here to find someone, but to recover this area first."

"recover?"

"Well... didn't you say before that Osir is like the lord here? This city is managed by many people like him in different regions. Originally, Hongsen was all under the jurisdiction of Osir... "

"Wait a minute, Hongye, do you mean that there are other similar people, does it just refer to ability, or does it mean that their temper is similar?"

"...It's not that similar. Osir is a special case. The time he manages here and the control over this place are unmatched by other 'lords'. He is also the only 'lord' who knows me, at least before That's right."

"before?"

Zhou Yu wanted to ask again, but the red light had already started blinking.It was also inconvenient to talk amidst the noise of the motorcycle engine.He had to keep silent for a while.

The motorcycle drove all the way to Hongsen District and stopped at the intersection of Aosier Road.Before getting off the motorcycle, Zhou Yu noticed that the surrounding road conditions were obviously different from what he remembered.He raised his eyes to look at the street sign, which said "Motian Road".

"...Hongye."

Momiji sighed unsurprisingly.

"The roads in the city can be decided by the lord. Because Osir has disappeared now, the area he is in charge of has changed."

"Is it a tradition to change to this name?"

"No, very few 'lords' are willing to name streets with their own names, because that would be tantamount to revealing their own jurisdiction and identity...Only Osir and this guy would do that." She stared at the street signs and said.

Judging from Hongye's tone, she obviously doesn't like that fat man named Ferris too much.

"Momiji, according to what you said, Moten is the one who brought Osir the other horn, isn't that true?"

"Yes. Although the horns were meaningless at that time, Osir kept his promise and gave the man half of the wealth—that is, the control of the territory. Now that Osir is gone, I think most of the streets are Let it be controlled by Ferris."

"Isn't it all?"

"No... forgot to tell you, Zhou Yu, it is not the 'lord' who can designate a successor on his own will. The city will decide who will manage it. So even if Aosier entrusted his power to the Ferris does not mean that Ferris can take over his responsibilities. It is only because the new 'lord' has not been elected that he can maintain control over the street.

"—But as long as the neighboring lords intend to snatch it, he will lose part of the land to some extent. Also, the ability he can use will be much different than when Osir was there."

"You are really doing the same thing as princes fighting for hegemony."

Hearing his comparison, Hongye immediately smiled.It seems that although she doesn't understand the concept of vassalage in the Middle Ages, she has a good understanding of the ancient enfeoffment system.

"There are indeed some similarities, but generally speaking, there will be no conflicts between lords. Firstly, it is difficult to take away the owner's territory, and secondly, it is not very useful. Apart from management duties, the 'lord' is not too big There will be no taxation, nor can the people on the territory really be forced to work. If it is more beneficial to be the 'lord' of a block, too much land will only become a burden."

"Really? I think that guy Osir lives a luxurious life."

"So he is a special case... Moreover, some of his actions have exceeded the capabilities of the 'Lord'. That should be done with the help of 'Freeze'."

When they talked here, the two reached the end of the road, and through the gap between the buildings, they could see a dark and lightless building in the distance.That was the mall that burned down that night.

This sudden fire caused a great commotion in Migenzhu City.It is said that the source of the fire was lightning, but it was not a rainstorm that night.And even a low-probability drought and thunder cannot cause such a large-scale disaster.Fortunately, due to the strict planning of emergency passages in the shopping mall, which is far beyond the norm, a fire of this scale did not cause any deaths, and related reports were quickly suppressed.

However, this is only for media such as TV and radio.Discussions on the local forums are still quite heated about this serious fire that has not happened in the city for decades, and various theories have been given about the cause of the accident.

More reliable ones include malicious arson by competitors, unreasonable interior decoration, and aging circuits.However, due to the abnormal scale of the fire and the abnormal lightning phenomenon before the fire, there are also various strange and weird theories.If you are a little more scientific, there are ball lightning, flammable gas leaks, and even joking discussions like Ascension from Tribulation and Ascension, and Heaven's Punishment Ghosts.

However, if the real situation is told, it will probably be even more absurd than the above-mentioned reasons.

"Just here."

While thinking, Hongye, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.She turned her head and said seriously, "Zhou Yu, I need your help for the next thing."

"How to do?"

"Leave the details to me. But it may be a little uncomfortable, please bear with me."

Hongye stretched out her hand and pointed her index finger between Zhou Yu's eyebrows.The touch of her fingertips was as cold and hard as an ice pick.

Zhou Yu trembled.

A strong tingling sensation seeped into the skull from the skin and penetrated into the inside of the skull.Deep in the brain, an extremely familiar throbbing pain began to strike.

The edge of the field of vision began to twist and squirm, and the black tide surged around.This time it's not just a visual derangement.The cold and invisible tide was exactly squeezing and engulfing his body.His consciousness dissolved in the tide without resistance.

Rationality collapsed, thinking overflowed, and "his" vision continued to climb with the rising tide, drifting involuntarily to the moon in the sky.

——Just like when meeting Hongye for the first time, "he" overlooks the island-like city.

The distant city like a fantasy is extremely real at this moment.Somewhere in the city, there are two "dots" as small as beans, which firmly anchor his consciousness above the city.

The connection that cannot be confirmed with the naked eye left an indelible pain deep in the nerves.

That is, from the isolated island itself, the pain of being eaten, consumed, and devoured.

Some kind of foreign body is greedily eating the flesh and blood from within.

However, because he doesn't have a vocal body, he doesn't even have the ability to scream.Consciousness flutters in the clouds, as if living in the moon.

Then, the coldness faded, and he fell downwards.
