Chapter 407: Deep in the Imperial Capital

It was dark at night, and the cemetery located on the outskirts of the city was even more dark and eerie.

There are a lot of things to say about souls in this world, and the existence of conceptual and embodied powers also gives many terrifying things that only exist in fantasy a chance to appear in reality. In addition, crazy crazy beasts often appear in reality. Attacks on humans often make people stay away from the resting place of the dead.

Even so, not everyone is eligible to be buried in the cemetery. The cheapest cemetery here requires at least half a year's income of an ordinary family, which is really a lot of money.

And deep in the cemetery, there is an area called the 'lost people'.

This place is often used to bury those who were of high status during their lifetime but suffered various situations, such as being attacked by a crazy beast but not dying but being completely contaminated, such as something terrible went wrong while training for superpowers or implanting a prosthetic body, and For example, those who were originally extremely noble but were sentenced to death for breaking the law.

They usually die in an unseemly way, and the cause of death is not known to ordinary people. Burying them quietly is the last act of dignity given to them.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the cemetery, people are generally not allowed to enter this place, and the burial places will deliberately disturb the placement of the corpses. When the annual burning meeting is held, everyone's bones will be mixed together and turned into white ash. , can no longer tell who is who.

In the darkness at this moment, a group of people wearing uniforms of the Imperial Guard were carrying a coffin.

The old guard was familiar with this. This was probably a high-status person who was sentenced to death.

He just opened the door and let the other person in without looking where he shouldn't. However, what he didn't notice was that something flickered in the only firelight in this place.

In the area of ​​​​the lost people, the group of guards walked aimlessly, and when they reached the deepest point, they randomly found a place to stop.

The coffin was opened, and the body wrapped in white cloth was buried in a newly dug pit. After simply doing this, the guards left quickly.

The mirror on the railing at the edge flickered slightly.

In the mirror space, Luo Xi frowned slightly: "That's not Lan Ke'er."

Zhu Zhu was beside her and asked in surprise: "Can you still detect this?"

Luo Xi just shook his head: "There is no need to use superpowers. Those guards were unfamiliar with their movements, and they got stuck a few times when opening the coffin, which shows that they are not people who often do this kind of thing - but when they dumped the body, they He is very generous. The person who can be sent here at least knows who the corpse is, and logically speaking, he will at least be gentle. "

"Moreover, these people are all good people. They seemed to be cautious along the way, but when they came in, they didn't even check whether the old guard was impersonated by someone else... It means that they knew that the corpse inside was not important. This is contrary to Sean's judgment. Doesn’t match.”

Zhu Zhu looked surprised: "Why do you analyze it now like Sean..."

Luo Xi just wrinkled his nose: "In this aspect, he is much better than me. Of course I have to learn from him - let's go, there is no need to observe anymore."

"good."

The mirror flickered again.

Luo Xi frowned slightly in the mirror space. It was obvious that Lan Keer's body had been exchanged - according to the situation along the way, the place with the greatest chance of switching was the moment when it was handed over to the Imperial Guards on the outskirts of the city.

But if you want to change the corpse, you can do it at the time of death, but you have to bring it out and then change it, which is unnecessary...

In other words, Lan Keer's body will be moved out of the city and used for other purposes... at the gate of the city?

Luo Xi has never been very fond of this approach. On the surface, he abides by the rules and respectability, but secretly he can do anything. He is not as down-to-earth and evil as Sean.

Of course, the main thing is that it's troublesome.

Zhu Zhu's mirror image walked very fast, and when they came, they also placed many mirrors on the road for jumping.

However, Zhu Zhu always gets stuck occasionally when he is on the road. If it is reflected in the mirror space, it is as if the picture is suddenly split. This does no harm to the people in it, but it is easy to cause some discomfort. Feel.

"Am I going to advance? Why is it so unstable..." Zhu Zhu muttered softly.

Luo Xi just looked around, and then said: "You are still far from being promoted to Crimson. The energy emitted by your ability is quite stable, but it is only interfered by something unknown."

Zhu Zhu was surprised at first. She had been with Luo Xi for a long time before. Although she was not a best friend, she was familiar with her. Why did she become...become...after she was promoted to Crimson and came back?

After thinking about it carefully, she found that Luo Xi seemed to be a bit like Sean, not in terms of personality, but in that reassuring sense of randomness.

Boss fun?

Zhu Zhu muttered to himself, and then said doubtfully: "I am a superpower of the space system, and I am the most special type among them. Without knowing the life gate, even now, Sean can't find it. Me in the mirror space.”

Luo Xi tilted his head: "Isn't that simple? The ability of the same top-level space system has affected you -"

"Top space system?" Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment.

Luo Xi played with his hanging hair and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it's not some unknown strong man. I guess it's some kind of space system device, and it's a passive influence."

"Then why didn't I feel this way when I walked on a mirror near here before?"

Luo Xi shrugged: "It means that the device has started to operate at full capacity. Tsk, Sean, that bastard, he is so good, he just left and left all the troubles to us."

"When he came to you for help, didn't you agree quickly..." Zhu Zhu muttered, and then became puzzled, "Is it Sean's departure that caused the unknown device to be activated?"

Luo Xi shook his head: "Of course not, it's probably the emperor's related plan that is being activated, and Sean just happened to leave."

Zhu Zhu nodded, and then wondered: "What did Sean find? He has been exploring the imperial capital for so long, and even if I am stupid, I know that he must have made many arrangements. With his personality, he normally wouldn't leave at this time..."

In fact, Luo Xi was also a little confused. Sean came to her and asked her to help keep an eye on Lam Ker, and he had important things to do and needed to leave immediately.

I originally thought this guy was joking, who knew that he really just said a few words and left immediately

According to the experiences he had told me before, he should be able to descend to other places in the form of an etheric body. What else does he need to see in person? Even more important than the present?

However, Luo Xi still agreed to the matter.

While thinking, they had already rushed back to the gate of the imperial capital.

They found a remote corner and Zhu Zhu hid in Luo Xi's buttons, just like she had hidden in Sean's buttons before.

Taking out the things she had prepared long ago and disguising herself, Luo Xi became an ordinary passerby.

She rarely hides her identity. If trouble comes, she will just kill it with a knife. However, this time she is helping Sean. She also knows that her hair color and eye color alone are enough to attract attention, not to mention her face.

It is better to be safe.

Holding the puppet show that others cannot see, Luo Xi calmly observed the surroundings.

The flow of energy was not much different from when she first entered the city, and there were no unusual passers-by or imperial soldiers around...

Walking to the place where the Imperial Guards handed over the coffin, Luo Xi frowned slightly.

Everything was normal here...

She was no longer the young girl who had just left the Rainbow Nest, and naturally knew to leave a backup plan, but the trace of energy she left behind disappeared silently.

It was not noticed by anyone, but was erased by nature...

Is it the device that affected Zhu Zhu's ability? The device is automatically hidden, so it will annihilate all possible traces of it. This is a purely passive influence...

But if this is the case, the device will be so huge that it is unimaginable. How could my puppet show not notice it at all...

Could it be that the device also has the top-level concealment system?

If this is true, what kind of energy can supply it?

In addition, the device plus energy should occupy an extremely large space...But is there such a large space in the entire imperial capital?

Luo Xi did not stay where she was, but walked in another direction.

Sure enough, if you stay with that bastard Sean for a long time, you will always learn a lot...

You can't just keep one back-up plan.

Finding a corner and closing your eyes, Luo Xi looked in another direction not long after.

When she sneaked into the palace to find Sean that day, she didn't do much. The group of silent people hiding in various places was special. Even she didn't dare to leave her energy traces on them, as it would be likely to be discovered.

However, she deconstructed the special energy circuit of the silent people.

So, before coming here, she deconstructed the energy circuit of all the buildings and streets nearby like a puppet show.

Each energy source is always changing, but they will follow their own trajectory, and the contact with other energies is only a microscopic interweaving. Without real energy exchange, that interweaving will not cause any impact.

Therefore, Luo Xi left some changes at several nodes in the entire area, and this change is very small-even the silent people will not be surprised by the flickering of the lights in a certain family.

However, it was enough for Luo Xi. These subtle changes allowed her to detect the energy of "passing by", such as the Silent Ones she had already deconstructed.

In those changes, it can be found that most of the Silent Ones went in the direction of the palace, but there were a few strange trajectories.

"That direction... According to the map Sean gave me, it is the water supply park in this area?"

Underground...

Luo Xi turned around without hesitation.

Since it is underground, there is a way to go through other pipes - she is no longer the straightforward and reckless man.

Although Elisa Lam will wake up after the fake death potion expires, and Sean can also relay the information he has seen, she also has to find a way to find Elisa Lam quickly. Finding the way first is the best way to complete the task.

Without attracting anyone's attention, Luo Xi found a sewer pipe and drilled in.

Back in the mirror space, she asked Zhu Zhu: "Does your mirror space have idealistic elements?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhu asked in confusion.

Luo Xi waved his hand, and suddenly, dense energy appeared in Zhu Zhu's eyes.

"Now, only you and I can see this. If your ability has idealistic elements, then you can jump as long as you see the mirror under the flash. On the contrary, there is no such light in reality, so naturally you can't jump."

"Can superpowers be used like this..." Zhu Zhu was completely shocked.

Luo Xi shook his head helplessly: "This is the basics... Forget it, when I teach Xiao Ci in the future, you can come with me."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Zhu nodded quickly, and now she can't even remember how good Bai Ye was to her.

She felt it carefully and said in surprise: "You can jump!"

"That's great. My concealment ability is not on the same level as Sean. I can fool ordinary people, but it's difficult to face the device I mentioned to you. Let's go, I'll show you the way."

"Okay!"

In the sewer, only two people can see the energy light flickering, and various mirrors are constantly flashing.

"Stop!" Luo Xi suddenly shouted.

Zhu Zhu hurriedly stopped, and then another wave of space fluctuations came.

Luo Xi looked ahead: "It's here..."

There is a huge sewer entrance blocked by an iron gate in front, and it's dark behind the broken railings.

"Is that device here?" Zhu Zhu asked cautiously.

Luo Xi nodded. When she got closer, she finally noticed the boundless energy lines.

Even her puppet show couldn't see everything clearly.

"This device should have a scanning layer... You can't go in like this..."

After thinking for a moment, she stopped her eyes on a mouse.

The mouse was obviously looking for food. It walked into the pipe and nothing happened.

"No small living creatures were blocked..."

Luo Xi shook her sleeves, and a small metallic beetle fell to the ground.

"What is this?"

Luo Xi suddenly smiled: "Rustworm, energy insect, rare but reasonable, can also... help punishment."

"Punishment?" Zhu Zhu didn't know why Luo Xi suddenly smiled so... beautifully when she mentioned punishment?

The rustworm crawled into the pipe, and Luo Xi pursed her lips: "Jump into its body. The rustworm is metallic inside and outside, so you can jump."

"Oh, okay."

The small rustworm crawled forward, and sure enough, the small living creature got into the pipe without any hindrance.

The pipe went down, extremely deep, and the low-quality rust bugs were floating around, and it took a long time for them to finally land.

After crawling along the obviously much drier ground for a long time, finally, the view in front of them opened up.

In an instant, Luo Xi and Zhu Zhu both widened their eyes in shock.

"What... is this?"

In the huge underground space, a golden tree stood in the center, and its branches were connected to countless pipes.

Under the imperial capital, it was completely empty! There was only a weird tree!
