Outside the window, there is only a thick rolling fog. In the thick fog are the dim yellow street lights that extend along the road, and the outlines of the buildings in this dim light.

No one can be seen on the wide street, as if this was an empty city, and the hustle and bustle of people coming and going just a few minutes ago was just an illusion left in the mind of the bee.

"...The situation is very wrong," the bird bee stared at the faintly surging grayish white mist on the road outside, observing and comparing all the details, and said to her companion in a low voice, "Ye Xiao, you go check the communication station."

There is a dark room in the basement of this shop that serves as a contact point, in which a high-power magic net communication device is placed. This communication device is connected to a "merchant ship" that has been going back and forth on the strait for a long time, and is forwarded through the equipment on the merchant ship. The branch of the MIB connected to Beigang. In the coastal city of Plantar, this secret communication station is the most important way for MIB officers to contact the mainland.

The young man known as "Night Owl" nodded silently, quickly and silently left the window and walked into a secret door behind the counter, but he turned back in a moment, with a serious look on his face: "Strong interference, there is no signal from the relay station and the main station."

"...The extraordinary vision is strengthened again. This time it is no longer the'contradiction' and'violation' hidden under the superficiality, but directly acting on the real world," Sparrow was calmly analyzing in a low voice, even though she was becoming The officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau was only an inexperienced mage apprentice before, but with the guidance of Chief Amber and the support of the technology and knowledge of the new era, an inexperienced mage apprentice like her can also have a certain analysis of the extraordinary vision of this scale. And understand, "We may have fallen into some kind of'cleft' between the real world and the distorted world, and the interference of communication equipment is evidence."

Ye Xiao frowned. He first quickly confirmed the contents of the shop, and after confirming that the strange mist had not penetrated the room, he was a little relieved, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something: "Wait, you said... Is the same situation happening in the City of Thousand Towers, Paran Santo, and Cold Sea City!?"

Sparrow turned her head back suddenly: "What do you mean?"

"Since this period of time, information about the'inland' has been constantly disappearing. First, people naturally concealed the City of Thousand Towers, the'Capital of the Kingdom' in daily conversations, followed by the local specialties from Paran Santo. It became a locally produced commodity, and then the news of Lenghaicheng was completely cut off. This is obviously not just a'communication interruption', but more like the existence of these inland cities, and even the evidence of their existence is constantly being'cleared' '," Ye Xiao analyzed, "think carefully...These cities are distributed from the center of Violet Island..."

"Do you think... is this grayish-white dense fog constantly devouring the entire violet kingdom from the center of the island?!" The sparrow bee instantly understood what the colleague said, "and the swallowed area... its'existence' itself will also be Delete it?"

Ye Xiao shook his head: "I just guessed this way, and this guess can't explain why the'outsiders' like you and I still remember things about the city of a thousand towers and Palan Santo. It stands to reason that if they were swallowed by the thick fog. If the area will be completely deleted, you and I shouldn't remember these inland cities, but now it seems that the vision affects only the Violet people's own cognition.

"But one thing is certain-this large-scale transcendental vision may have erupted from the city of a thousand towers, and it will continue to spread and strengthen towards the border area of ​​the Violet Kingdom!"

The sparrow bee bit her lip subconsciously, and the anxiety in her heart became stronger. She had to admit that Ye Xiao's guess was extremely likely, and she had to worry about one thing: Will this vision continue to spread? Will these gray-white thick fog spread beyond the Violet Kingdom? If this thing is uncontrollable and has no limits... could it swallow the whole world! ?

She had to forcibly suppress the anxiety in her heart, and let Director Amber’s teachings and mission as an officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau flood her mind: “It’s probably useless to analyze these now. The more important question is how we can get out of the predicament. , And think of a way to report what happened here... This thick fog doesn't look like a harmless thing to humans and animals."

Ye Xiao frowned and looked at the misty world outside the window. His hand was on the weapon at his waist. However, this weapon that could be used to fight the enemy could not give him anything under such circumstances. Feel at ease: "If the situation is really the same as I guessed, we must find a way to leave the city and go out of the city from the southwest to the pier, where there are boats that can return to Beigang..."

"But first, we need to go out the door and walk through the thick fog." Sparrowbee's voice was low and serious.

A difficult problem posed in front of the two senior officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau: Is it to stay in this small shelter, or to risk opening the door and stepping into the thick fog?

Bumblebee looked up at the shop. She saw that the doors and windows were still tightly closed. Although these ordinary doors and windows could not be completely sealed, it was obvious that the grayish white mist did not penetrate into the room through the cracks, and the thick fog was permeated outside the window. The dark and strange streets and the bright and warm indoor scenery in the window seem to have become two worlds, and the latter...at this moment, there is an indescribable attraction.

But she knew that this seemingly warm and safe hut might not be as "stable" as imagined. If the city of a thousand towers, Paransanto and Lenghai city have been swallowed by dense fog, then this small The shop can’t be a safe refuge either, it’s mostly just sitting there waiting to die-is it really feasible to go through the thick fog outside?

The Sparrow even suspected that the port in the southwest of the city had been swallowed by dense fog at this moment.

"It's just not long before the night, and there is still a whole night before the sun rises," Ye Xiao's voice came from the side, "but if all this is really caused by an extraordinary vision, then the sun may not be able to dispel this obvious. Abnormal dense fog."

Sparrow didn't speak, she was still hesitating, but she also knew that she couldn't hesitate any longer.

At this moment, her gaze suddenly fell on the window next to her.

The fog outside the shop window was rolling and surging, and under the continuous licking of the thick fog, some small scratches appeared on the surface of the icy silhouette of the crystal glass. Those scratches were slowly extending before her eyes, as if there was one. The invisible hand was holding a sharp object and carving it on the crystal. They slowly formed a line of letters: "Don't stay indoors!"

Sparrow bee held her breath for an instant, and Ye Xiao who was next to her suddenly widened his eyes. They stared at the scratches on the glass, and then the bee suddenly got up and walked in the direction of the door: "Get out of here!"

"Wait, don't you want to confirm it?" Ye Xiao subconsciously shouted as he stood up, "This may be a trap..."

"Didn't you recognize it?" Birdbee looked back at Ye Xiao, "Although the words are written backwards, it is the handwriting of the'shop manager'."

Ye Xiao's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he quickly followed in the footsteps of the bees. Two senior operators came to the front of the shop. The bees had put their hands on the brass doorknob-through the small pieces inlaid on the door. From the crystal glass, you can clearly see that the thick gray fog is undulating and flowing on the street outside, like a cold and silent pale fire.

The sparrow bee took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open a gap-the mist hovered beyond the gap of the door, showing no sign of flowing into the room.

She suddenly pushed the door open completely and stepped into the foggy street. Ye Xiao followed her closely. The two of them kept a short distance and left the shop and came to the avenue in a gesture of covering each other.

The sparrow bee activated the breeze shield the first time he went out, wanting to see if this protective barrier that can block most harmful gases can block the strange thick fog, but saw the gray-white fog as if it was not affected at all. Appears inside the barrier-it is like a flowing phantom rather than a real thing, not blocked by the shield at all.

The two operators could only close the useless breeze shield and proceed cautiously towards the street.

During this whole process, Ye Xiao had been holding his breath subconsciously. The ubiquitous gray and white fog was extremely disturbing. He didn't even dare to inhale it at will until he walked a distance outward and confirmed that his body was not. Affected by erosion, and the protective equipment such as amulets on his body did not warn him, he slowly began to breathe under great restraint, and adjusted his heartbeat and breathing rate little by little.

"Breathing is normal... the skin doesn't feel the slightest moisture." The bee looked down at her hands and watched the mist flow from her fingers. Her mouth and nose felt the most ordinary air, even if she was breathing heavily. There is no feeling of inhaling thick fog, "These fog... there is no'feel' at all."

It’s impossible for such a dense fog to not bring “feeling”. Although it is an intangible thing, breathing and walking in the dense fog will inevitably be different in the daytime. Whether it is water vapor or particles in the fog, it will be different. It irritates people's nasal cavity-but these "feelings" that should have existed did not appear, which brought a great sense of contradiction to the sparrow bee and the night owl.

It's as if this thick fog only appeared in their "vision", it was a pure illusion.

But they don’t dare to really regard this thick fog as an illusion that can only affect the vision. Big source of crisis.

What's more, the vision here is not just a thick fog, there are also passers-by who suddenly disappeared, empty streets, and a whole silent empty city!

"That was indeed the store manager's handwriting just now," Ye Xiao said in a low voice while examining the situation on the street, "but how could the store manager's words suddenly appear on the window glass?"

Sparrowbee did not answer immediately. She just turned her head subconsciously and looked in the direction where she came, but saw that the glass surface of the shop window had been restored to its smoothness, and the letters clearly engraved on it had been erased for some time. .

"...I don't know, but he must want us to avoid some kind of fatal danger," Sparrow was uneasy for some reason, and she could only suppress this anxiety while whispering, "Now we should find a way. Out of town-the road to the pier is in this direction."

She stepped towards the southwest city gate in her memory, but just two steps out, she felt an invisible air flow suddenly blowing towards her face. The air flow was not strong, but it seemed unusually sudden, as if it was blocking. As she continued to move forward, Ye Xiao's footsteps stopped shortly after—he seemed to feel the same thing.

"The store manager?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly, and whispered from the empty street to the squad leader who went to investigate the unreturned information. In the more than one year or two years of activities here, he and Sparrow have become accustomed to using it. "The manager" came to call the superior, "Is you here? Are you in trouble?"

As a senior cadre who has dealt with many troublesome events and accidentally dealt with other extraordinary visions, he has guessed something from these subtle clues.

He guessed that the "shop manager" might be trapped by extraordinary visions.

"What can we do for you?" The sparrow bee next to him also said.

The empty streets were silent, and there was no figure other than the two of them in the undulating fog, but suddenly, the bee saw that a small, pale light suddenly appeared on a lamppost closest to them. Notch.

Those nicks extended and connected, and gradually formed a line of letters: "I am safe now, but I can't meet with you. You have priority to complete the task."

Immediately after this line of letters, a new nick emerged: "Don't go to the port. The port has disappeared. It is safe to leave the city from the southeast and reach the coast."

The bee looked at the letters appearing on the lamppost with some amazement: "The port has disappeared? What does this mean?"

The letters on the lamppost did not answer her question. Instead, several very deep and sharp nicks appeared suddenly. These nicks seemed to remind them to get nervous, and then there was a line that was obviously very hurried. Handwriting: "No time, leave here as soon as possible, pay attention to the handwriting on the lampposts along the way!"

Sparrow's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked around.

She didn't see any enemies, she didn't see any abnormalities.

But she still walked away immediately, heading towards the southeast city area, and Ye Xiao followed her closely.

Something dangerous is approaching them. The letters on the lamppost obviously mean this, but they cannot see, hear or perceive what the dangerous thing is, but even so, they choose to believe and obey The superior order in this case.

This is what Chief Amber taught them in the first training session.

In the quiet and empty city, the sparrow bee and the night owl swiftly cross the street and cross the intersection. The places where the usual traffic and people are now all empty, as if they have become weird and detailed hollow scenes, and the styles are somber The house, a dark wall even gave the bird bee an illusion, making her feel that those things seemed to be just some empty shells, under the exquisite and real appearance, they were actually just painted cardboard, which would fall when the wind blows. Down, revealing the barren truth below.

"Manager," Ye Xiao's voice came from the side, "What is going on here? What are we hiding from?"

"The city is disappearing in dense fog," a nick appeared on a nearby lamppost quickly, "The Beicheng District has disappeared a few hours ago..."

Sparrowbee and Yexiao quickly passed by the lamppost. On the surface of the next lamppost, they saw the nick of the second half of the sentence:

"... Avoid the messenger."
