Chapter 169 Huan Town
Huan Town is not big, but it looks very neat and clean from the outside.
The houses beside the road stood quietly, not far apart from each other, in a row.
Qi Yan walked into the street and found that compared to the Gaocheng that was invaded by strange beasts, this place actually looked a bit "normal".
Pedestrians passing by didn't look too nervous or panicked.
Logically speaking, Huanzhen is not far from Yangcheng, so it should be considered a place to prepare for war.
But the scene at this moment really doesn't look like it.
It feels no different than usual.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether to say that these people had big hearts, or that they had extremely strong confidence in the people they were protecting.
Qi Yan sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, it is difficult for humans to fully understand.
But the peaceful scene was a good thing after all. Qi Yan took Yun Duo and Big V and Little V to a nearby hotel.
"stay?"
There was a little girl at the front desk. When she saw the two tiger cubs behind Qi Yan, her eyes didn't change much. There seemed to be nothing surprising.
"yes."
"How many rooms are there? We only have standard rooms here."
"Two rooms."
"How many days will you stay?"
"Three days."
After the questions and answers, the front desk completed the formalities very quickly and handed him two keys.
When Qi Yan turned around, the other party reminded him lazily: "Don't damage the items in the room for no reason."
Qi Yan understood what the other party meant, nodded and led the people up.
The person at the front desk behind him looked at his back calmly.
After watching him disappear, he lazily leaned back in his chair again.
"Brother Qi, why do I feel something is weird here?" Yun Duo frowned. She looked around and thought of the receptionist just now, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Qi Yan patted her on the head and said, "No matter what the problem is, stay here first."
There was always a calm look on his face, as if he was not surprised by the scene before him.
In fact, his instincts had not given him any warning and were even saying this was a reasonable place.
Qi Yan narrowed his eyes. He didn't feel any weirdness at first.
But just as he was chatting with the front desk, a warning bell suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding--
The elevator door opened.
This hotel looks relatively clean, and there is no peculiar smell in the air. The only bad thing is that the space is a bit cramped.
Several rooms are crowded.
Qi Yan pinched his wrist, found the room, and opened the door first.
"You, Big V, and Little V just stay in the room and don't run around."
"okay, I get it."
Yun Duo nodded obediently, saying that he would never hinder Qi Yan's work.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Qi Yan realized that the surroundings seemed too quiet.
He looked at the surrounding rooms, thought for a moment, approached a room, leaned over and listened to the noise.
"call……"
There was nothing but the sound of his own breathing.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the other rooms standing quietly on the corridor, and squinted.
The soul thread appeared silently on his back, and then flew into each room - empty.
In such a huge hotel, there was no one except them and the front desk.
Qi Yan had a stern look on his face. The location of this hotel in Huan Town was not particularly remote. It was the period of war preparations and there shouldn't be a single person there.
People, where have they gone?
What's going on here?
Qi Yan didn't expect that he would encounter such weird things even if he chose a place nearby.
"Let's go back to the room and take a look first."
He retracted his soul thread, took one last look around, and entered his room.
The hotel room was very ordinary, with a large bed, a wardrobe, an oversized clock hanging on the wall, and a bathroom next to the door.
There's nothing else there, it's really just a place to sleep.
Qi Yan looked through it but didn't find anything strange.
"There's nothing, everything is bland."
"interesting."
The current situation was obviously unexpected, but Qi Yan still looked calm.
there is always a solution to a problem.
He came to the window and looked down.
Interestingly, Qi Yan spotted a few familiar faces among the people walking on the street.
It's not someone I met in Yangcheng.
It was someone he and Yun Duo had seen when they first entered Huan Town.
At that time, they seemed to be walking forward with such calm steps.
At this moment, they were still walking, but the direction had changed.
Their faces were full of peace from beginning to end.
The natural feeling that Qi Yan had when he first entered the city completely dissipated, replaced by a strong feeling of vigilance.
The more normal it looks, the more abnormal it turns out to be.
Qi Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then tried to open the window, and then stretched out his hand to pop out a soul thread.
The pure white crystal filaments fell directly into the back of the head of one of the people on the street.
As soon as he entered, Qi Yan opened his eyes fiercely.
People who are invaded by soul lines are...soulless people!
If a person has no soul, is he still a human being? Apparently, it was just a body.
Qi Yan stood up, and a few more soul threads flew into other people's bodies.
After feeling it carefully, Qi Yan frowned.
They are all soulless people.
His face suddenly turned cold.
He withdrew his soul thread, but none of the people he controlled had any abnormalities.
They continued walking forward as before, and then turned back when they reached a certain place, pretending to be taking a leisurely stroll.
Qi Yan observed carefully and could even see some people talking as usual.
But if you look closely, you can see that the expressions of the people talking are almost the same.
Qi Yan rubbed his forehead.
"I may not be able to do it alone."
After all, this group of people did not directly turn into dead bodies after being invaded by the soul thread. Instead, they continued their normal activities while holding on to their bodies.
"First choose a few people to be anchors and try it."
He casually took out a soul thread, selected a few people wandering on the street and shopkeepers, and then buried the soul thread into the bodies of these people.
When the change comes, there may be some special gains.
To avoid alerting others, Qi Yan did not choose to directly control everyone.
After all, it is not a good thing to act rashly before knowing the cause of the accident.
The moments when recklessness is necessary are the moments when there is no other way.
Qi Yan planned to see what it was like at night.
Night came quickly, and he didn't have to wait long.
The round moon was shining with crystal clear light. Looking at the full moon, Qi Yan felt that something was wrong.
It's too round, it shouldn't be like this in today's season.
Before he could observe more, a mist suddenly filled the world.
In the blink of an eye, people can no longer see clearly the surrounding scenery.
Qi Yan's expression suddenly changed, and the connection between him and Yun Duo weakened.
