Chapter 720 Unexpected Situation
Zhang Heng had already made enough mental preparations before lighting the cigar. With his current strength, he basically didn't need to worry about similar tests. And according to the bartender, the original owner of the prop died. It's been a while, and there isn't much strength left.
This certainly implies that Zhang Heng may not get much, but it does not mean that there will not be too much danger in his trip. After all, he has even ganked the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and it is unlikely that an ancient god who has been lost in history will cause him too much trouble.
When the smoke dissipated, what appeared in front of Zhang Heng was a hazy and dilapidated scene, which matched the prefix of the shadow series. However, Zhang Heng froze when he saw the building in front of him clearly.
Because this was the seaside town he had visited in his sleep in the alien copy not long ago.
Zhang Heng's first reaction was that what happened to him later was caused by the props of the Shadow series. However, when he calmed down, he found that this guess was not very likely. In the alien dungeon, the last prop [Shadow] Foot] has not been obtained yet, and the only shadow set he has is the [Key of Shadow].
It's hard to believe that a mere E-level quality game prop can cause so much trouble.
And strictly speaking, the real abnormality in his body can be traced back to when he was dealing with the problem of [Death Dream]. He was touched by the plague without knowing it. The situation was very dangerous at the time and he was sent directly to the emergency room. However, the doctor There's nothing you can do against him.
His heart did stop beating in a short period of time, and Zhang Heng could even clearly feel the approach of death.
But he lost the memory of the few seconds after that. When he opened his eyes again, several plagues on his body that even modern medicine was unable to deal with had miraculously disappeared, and his heart started beating again, even faster than before. Even more powerful.
Han Lu also told Zhang Heng later that she had felt a brief moment of inexplicable fear when she saw Director Kuang. She always thought that the fear was caused by Director Kuang, but in fact, it happened to be Zhang Heng at that time. Lost memory for a few seconds.
Especially after what happened on the roof of the building, Zhang Heng also realized that the fear Han Lu felt might not come from the plague, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but from him.
So maybe we can think about his current situation from another angle.
What is certain is that he hides some secrets, and the bartender lady said that the tobacco recipe she prepared came from the Mayans and was used to communicate with the gods. Zhang Heng had already taken off other props on his body. Only four shadow covers were left, and it stands to reason that the original owners of these four shadow covers should be the ones who communicated with him after he inhaled the smoke.
But the fact is that the tobacco did not allow him to get in touch with the original owner of the shadow sleeve. Instead, it seemed that it accidentally helped him open a seal somewhere on his body, allowing him to return to the one he had not yet had time to explore. In a weird dream.
Zhang Heng didn't know what caused this accident. Maybe the power left by the original owner of the shadow sleeve was too weak compared to the secrets on him. Maybe it was because of what happened to his body after the incident on the roof. Unobservable changes, or other unknown reasons, in short, the matter has come to this, and the result is not too bad for him. After all, compared to inheriting a small part of the power in the shadow set, it is more difficult to figure out his The secrets on his body obviously have a higher priority.
The former can be tried later, but the latter appears without any regularity, and Zhang Heng also noticed that although he returned to this weird dream, the shadow sleeve on his body was still there this time, and it was not with other props. disappeared, so to be honest, Zhang Heng was a little confused whether he was in the assessment of the shadow set or in the previous dream.
It only took half a minute to roughly sort out his situation, and Zhang Heng decided to make peace with it and continue what he had not completed before - exploring this small town full of haze and foreboding.
Because this place is probably related to his life experience.
He walked down the street. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of fish. Large tracts of houses in disrepair stood on both sides of the street. Some of them had even collapsed. Everything here looked full of dilapidation and decay. .
But Zhang Heng noticed that unlike last time, there were obviously more people on the street this time.
Although there are still very few houses compared to here, at least you no longer can't see a soul for a mile outside. However, it is difficult to say whether the appearance of these residents has made the situation better or worse.
Although some residents do look just like ordinary people, these are only a very small number, and most of them are young people. The older people seem to have been hit by some unknown and terrifying curse, making them look extremely strange. Deformed and ugly, just like the old man Zhang Heng met before, with a strange narrow forehead, flat nose, protruding eyes, scabbed skin and folds, and at the same time giving people a weird slimy feeling. , like a monster born after the mating of a frog and a fish.
However, their gloomy and terrifying faces now have a rare smile, and they ran out of various ruins. Some were wiping the signboards, while others were busy delivering the caught fish to the fish. The floors were paved and processed, and some even laid carpets on the ground, making it look like there was some kind of banquet at night.
In addition, there are also some suspicious sounds coming from the nearby sealed buildings from time to time, like something walking across the wooden floor, or a low and hoarse hissing sound.
Zhang Heng walked for a while and saw the Gothic stone church in front of him. Its history was obviously longer than other buildings in the town. The harsh bells came from inside, telling the people in the town that it was now It was six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was about to sink into the sea, so the only glimmer of light in this town was about to disappear.
Zhang Heng was about to walk into the church to take a look when a voice suddenly came from behind him, "It's already very late. Why don't you find a place to stay first?"
Zhang Heng turned his head and recognized that the speaker was the old man he saw when he first came here. The latter was walking from the other end of the street. Although he was not walking fast and tried his best to imitate the slowness and inconvenience of the old man, Zhang Heng could still tell at a glance that his body was much better than he showed.
"Do you know what's going on here?" Zhang Heng asked.
However, the old man did not answer his question. He just repeated what he said before, "It's already very late. Why don't you find a place to stay first?"
