Chapter 487 Entering the Domain
The old man led the customer's BYD car towards the road.
Old Wang came back again.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Feng Yao was completely puzzled.
Without saying a word, Old Wang took a few absorbent towels from beside her and then pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
He had been squatting in the corner, writing and drawing on paper.
There was a stick figure drawn on the paper, so dark that it was hard to tell if it was male or female, with a clump of black hair that looked like a dark cloud.
This stick figure is holding a weapon that looks like a fencing sword.
......
Feng Yao believes that it is impossible for anyone in the world to recognize who is in the painting.
She pursed her lips and was about to turn and leave when Old Wang stopped her.
"Help me find him."
Old Wang said softly.
"......"
Feng Yao looked up at him inquisitively, and from Lao Wang's tone, she could hear a hint of helplessness and pleading.
"Very important."
Old Wang said again.
“Look at your painting. Even a dog smearing paint on the paper would do a better job.” Feng Yao frowned. “Any other clues?”
Old Wang shook his head.
"......Fine."
Feng Yao waved her hand helplessly: "Wait until I come back from my vacation."
She has more important things to do right now.
"it is good."
Old Wang nodded, took the towel, and went back to the BYD.
Sitting on the plastic chair, Feng Yao looked down at the simple sketch in her hand, lost in thought.
"No need to pay him a salary, just help him find someone..."
She calculated the time.
"The Ninth Domain is about to begin; we can only go after it's over."
"Once you enter a high-level domain, unless you enter through someone else's domain river entrance, you will naturally have to wait, and the interval in between will be quite long."
"Well, we'll talk about it then."
She made a decision quickly, and just then, a mark on her ankle began to feel faintly hot.
"So fast..."
Feng Yao's expression shifted slightly.
Without saying anything more, she habitually picked up a marker and wrote a few lines on the small blackboard behind her:
[Our store is closed for the day]
[6.1 - Uncertain]
After thinking for a moment, he took out a few hundred-yuan bills covered in paint from the drawer and threw them on the table.
This is the money I left for Old Wang's meal.
After doing all this, she turned around and shouted at Old Wang:
"We'll close the shop after this order is completed!"
There was a response from the other end.
Another question:
Are you leaving now?
"Hmm." Feng Yao shrugged, picked up her hat, and turned to leave.
Just then, she heard a loud shout behind her, followed by the sound of dragging footsteps:
"Take me with you next time you take a vacation."
"..."
Feng Yao did not answer him.
Her fist clenched instantly as she saw the high-pressure water gun that Old Wang had thrown on the ground spraying water like a shower of flowers, drenching passersby who were walking by the shop.
Old Wang followed her gaze and turned around, then sheepishly turned away, not daring to say another word.
Feng Yao gave him a few warning glances before going inside.
After a while.
The sound of flowing water could be heard from inside the house.
It was drowned out by the loud sound of flushing water outside the store.
Beside the car, Old Wang seemed to have heard something and silently raised his head.
He stared intently at the sounds inside the room until the sound of running water completely disappeared, then he lowered his head.
A hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
......
"The River of the Domain is haunted..."
At Du Tingfeng's home, Chen Ji opened the forum once again, browsing through that post for what felt like the umpteenth time.
Why are you still looking?
Du Tingfeng leaned over for a look and was speechless for a moment: "Some people down there are already suspecting that he made it up."
"The main thing is that several people who left the domain around the same time claimed that everything in the domain river was normal."
“There’s one who’s still an employee of the Thirteenth Bureau. Didn’t you ask him about it too?”
Chen Ji nodded silently.
In fact, the vast majority of people are skeptical.
But Chen Ji was different from them. He knew very well that the Domain River would dry up in the future, and a horde of ghosts would emerge.
But how could it be so fast?
Aren't there still two murals whose prophecies haven't come true?
Looking at Chen Ji's furrowed brows, everyone knew what he was worried about.
"You seem to have forgotten something."
Fei'er sat to the side, arms crossed, looking bored. "In the last mural, there are people floating on the Yu River, which proves that there was still water back then."
"Since there is water, the Yu River has never dried up."
"Then it's not the end of the world yet."
"Hmm..." Chen Ji frowned, realizing that what he said was indeed true.
But what he feared most was that the prophecies in those two murals had actually come true!
After all, it's different from a train derailment. One is digging a grave, and the other is wandering in a river; both are very secretive things.
It may not be witnessed by others; it could happen quietly at any time.
"Don't worry."
Du Tingfeng said, "The domain is about to open. Once we get out, we'll see for ourselves and know exactly what's going on."
The preparations were complete, and Chen Ji lent the Bashe snake to Liu Zi to save his life.
After sensing that Fei'er's mark was slightly warm, everyone immediately gathered together.
A very faint sound of flowing water could already be heard in the air.
Xu Sandao leaned against the window, his fingers flying across his phone.
A few seconds later, he suddenly said out of the blue:
Something strange has happened.
"The earliest post reporting problems with the Yuhe River was probably the day after you returned from the train."
Is there a connection?
"You mean, the Ghost Train incident triggered the problems in the Domain River?" Chen Ji frowned, feeling that it was a bit far-fetched.
"You could say that... but it feels more like a mechanical device to me." Xu Sandao said thoughtfully, "Like a gear in a mechanism that engages to activate the next mechanism?"
"There is no strong correlation, but this is probably not a coincidence."
"Furthermore, assuming this post is real, I'd really like to know, who exactly is that female ghost?"
His tone was somewhat subtle.
"The Domain River isn't considered part of the 'Domain,' right?"
Chen Ji understood what he wanted to say.
The female ghost tries to board the small boat...
To be honest, when he saw this post, the first name that came to his mind was:
Yu Tianrong.
The director of the Thirteenth Bureau disappeared from the domain.
The train incident overshadowed another mystery: the anomaly of the road signs!
But isn't that related to the company?
Unless...they've reasoned wrong and this matter has nothing to do with the company?
Why did the bat give that "cold laugh"?
A strange feeling rose in Chen Ji's heart. Could it be that the bat didn't actually know anything at all?
The sound of water grew louder and louder. Before the entrance to the Domain River opened, Chen Ji quickly sent a message to his uncle, asking him to carefully recall the confrontation with the bats.
When I looked up again, a flowing river had appeared in front of me.
"While others celebrate Children's Day, we're entering the domain... and it just so happens to be today."
Liu Zi sighed heavily.
"It's alright." Du Tingfeng smiled. "If we're lucky, we might be back before midnight."
"Forget it, it's best not to." Liu Zi immediately stopped talking.
Normally, the shorter the time in the domain, the more dangerous it is, leaving almost no time for those entering.
No more words were said.
The group joined hands and stepped into the river.
