Chapter 867 – Fishing Village Dilemma
The door of the room slammed shut.
Baili Chubby stood on the floor full of banknotes, dumbfounded.
He didn’t know how long it took before he reached out and pointed at the door, speaking incredulously, ”Is he crazy? He said that little master I used fake bills? How could this be a fake banknote for me?!”
Shen Qingzhu’s brows furrowed tightly as he bent down and picked up a random bill from the money that was all over the floor and scrutinized it for a moment.
”This is real.”
”Of course it’s real!”
”But the expression on that villager’s face just now doesn’t look like a fake either, he was really moved when he heard the figure of fifty thousand dollars.” Cao Yuan frowned in thought.
Shen Qingzhu picked up the money on the ground one by one and stuffed it into Baili Chubby’s hands, turned around and squinted at this ancient fishing village shrouded in darkness, slowly opened his mouth, “There is no problem with the money, what …… is a problem is this village.”
”What do you mean?” Baili Fatty asked in disbelief.
”From the time the first family opened the door, I realized that something was wrong.” Shen Qingzhu spoke calmly, “The calendar hanging on the wall of that family’s house, the year was fifty years ago.”
Baili Chubby froze, frowned and thought carefully for a moment, there was no impression of that calendar in his mind at all.
”A calendar from fifty years ago?” Cao Yuan spoke in surprise, “Could it be hung wrong?”
”No, that calendar is too new, it doesn’t even look like a product of paper from fifty years ago, instead, it looks like something that hasn’t been in production for long.” Shen Qingzhu said with certainty, “There are also the shoes and oil lamps in the houses of the several families behind them, all of them are not from this era, they are very old, and the vast majority of them have been discontinued, so you can’t even buy them if you want to.
At first I thought it was just a coincidence, or that this place was too backward, and if it wasn’t for that man just now saying that these were fake money, I probably wouldn’t have even realized it.”
Among the three people present, in terms of the ability to observe details, no one could compare to Shen Qingzhu, and at this moment when Shen Qingzhu said that there was a problem with these things, Baili Fatty and Cao Yuan naturally would not doubt it.
”Do you mean …… we traveled across?” Baili Fatty followed Shen Qingzhu’s meaning and asked tentatively.
”I don’t know, it’s just a possibility.” Shen Qingzhu said with a serious expression, “Seven Nights is right, this place …… is very wrong.”
The color of the night grew thicker.
The lights within the fishing village gradually went out, and the villages along the coastline were completely plunged into darkness.
The waves washed over the shore, rushing the small boats parked nearby and rocking them slightly, and under the dim moonlight, the waves were snow-white and rolled to Lin Qiye’s feet like broken silver.
He was walking alone on the shore of the late night waves.
At this moment, he had taken off the hat, and the pitch blackness around him automatically coalesced and turned into a humanoid shadow following him, a crimson eye opening in the shadow’s forehead.
”Well?” Lin Qiye asked as he looked at the sea horizon in the darkness in the distance.
”Dean, still can’t see anything.” The black pupil spoke helplessly.
”We’ve almost crossed the entire fishing village and there’s still nothing?”
”Nothing.”
”…… Strange.”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and attached the black pupil to his shadow, his figure bowed slightly, his spiritual energy stirred, and his entire body transformed into a flash of night color as he hurriedly crossed the coastline and sped off into the distance.
The environment in his eyes rapidly regressed, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled alongside the coastline, gradually dimming as he advanced at full speed.
Suddenly, the moon in the sky flickered as if it had gone out for an instant, and everything around Lin Qiye fell into absolute darkness.
Afterward, Lin Qiye’s vision was restored once again.
He came to a violent stop.
The sound of Sasha’s waves echoed in his ears as he stared blankly at the dark fishing village that had appeared out of nowhere directly in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How was this possible?
He had clearly looked in the opposite direction and ran, so how did he come back from here?
Lin Qiye turned back to look at the road he came from, it was deep and mysterious, even though the moonlight shrouded the earth, it was still pitch black like a black hole that swallowed up everything, even the light couldn’t escape for half a second.
Lin Qiye’s brows tightly wrinkled, his figure turned back and crashed into that pitch black, the moon in the sky once again extinguished for a moment, and the next moment he stood at the edge of the coastline in the opposite direction …….
The two ends of the coastline were connected as if by some mysterious force, and once Lin Qiye tried to leave from one side, he would be forced to return to the confines of the fishing village from the other end, like an endless wall of ghosts.
Lin Qiye looked at the fishing village in the darkness in the distance and unbelievingly reached out and pressed his hand in the void, endless clouds rolled underneath his feet and transformed into a somersault cloud holding his body as it sped up towards the sky!
The speed of the somersault cloud was far greater than his own, and the range of a small fishing village was easily leapt over without him even needing the time to blink his eyes.
However, no matter how he drove his somersault cloud and at what angle he tried to leap over the range of the fishing village, he would somehow circle back to his original position.
The most crucial thing was that his spiritual perception did not detect the slightest difference at all, there were no forbidden market fluctuations, no traces of forbidden objects, everything was so reasonable and natural, as if it was supposed to be like this.
Even if he used [Chopping White] to vanish into the void, he couldn’t even leave the confines of this fishing village.
After dozens of attempts, Lin Qiye flew back to the coastline in silence and waved his hand to disperse the somersault clouds, his expression unprecedentedly grave.
They were trapped in this fishing village.
Not knowing who left this kind of means here, or what the principle of this weird phenomenon was, not knowing how to get out, Lin Qiye stood beside the coastline staring at the dark village in the distance, feeling a bit creeped out.
The unknown, more terrifying than an absolute power gap.
Lin Qiye pulled out his cell phone, there wasn’t the slightest signal, he sighed and put it back in his pocket.
He calmed his mind and thought seriously.
Since he couldn’t leave this village in a short period of time, it was imperative that he first find out the bottom of this place, or at least know what they were facing now, and at the same time search for the [Mask] squad’s traces, since they had come here earlier than himself and the others, they might have left some clues behind as well ……
Moreover, before he entered this village, he had already sent the location to the Night’s Watch headquarters, if they really encountered any situation that they couldn’t handle, as long as they did their best to stall for time, Zuo Qing would definitely send someone to support them.
I just don’t know, how is it on the side of Caran and Chubby. Since up to now have not issued a big noise, it means that they are not in danger for the time being, everything is still within control …….
At least on the surface it seems so.
