Chapter 6, Staring

No wonder I felt a strange chill as soon as I got close to him

Oh... that's right, there are no guide ropes here, and your mobility is limited. However, it's alright; you will soon be able to see a brand new world!

As the moment approached, Xu Shen's body involuntarily tensed up

detour

Deng Feng was taken aback, looking at the lawn ahead and the building at the end of the lawn, and said: "Yes, that is indeed the place where the opening of the market is. Are you feeling nervous? It's alright, the opening of the market will be over quickly, it will be done in no time."

Deng Feng did not see it, indicating that it is not on the same level as himself, and it will not attack him

Xu Shen did not dare to look back and continued walking forward

Xu Shen

This is just a lawn, not a muddy pit, specifically maintained by professionals, so you can rest assured

"Old Wang, this is the newcomer. I brought him here to open the market eye," Deng Feng said as he stepped forward to address the old man dozing in the rocking chair at the entrance.

Deng Feng was unaware that his three-day stay in the dormitory without coming out was not due to the absence of a guide rope

He continuously recited in his heart, maintaining his composure

Deng Feng suddenly came to his senses and smiled, saying: "We are at the Secret Bureau here. Although it is dangerous, the benefits are undeniable, and there is no filthy and chaotic road like outside."

Xu Shen's expression was wooden as he scrutinized the young man before him

He glared at Deng Feng and picked up the cane beside him, saying fiercely: "It's you again, kid. If you do this again, I'll break your three dog legs. Get lost!"

Xu Shen allowed him to assist him, taking cautious and exploratory steps forward.

Can we take a detour

Deng Feng felt that the boy, who had previously been cautiously exploring ahead, suddenly seemed to be walking even faster than himself. Indeed, the calmness he had shown earlier was merely a facade; who would not be excited when they could see the way forward?

This is far more terrifying than when mom is watching

Deng Feng: "?"

Under the gaze of the market eye, Deng Feng suddenly witnessed a chilling and bizarre scene that sent shivers down his spine

snoring zzzz......

Hmm? Where are the black stockings?

Xu Shen's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and the muscles in his body were gradually relaxing, yet still somewhat tense, especially as he passed through the lower half of that market.

Xu Shen controlled the tremor in his voice and tentatively asked in a low voice

Seeing Xu Shen's excited and expectant expression, Deng Feng finally felt that this was the reaction a normal boy should have. He was very satisfied and supported Xu Shen as they walked forward with large strides.

After more than ten minutes, as they were walking, Xu Shen suddenly hesitated and said, "Are we really going to walk straight through like this?"

I am not just nervous... and the books... Xu Shen felt as if his legs were filled with lead, his heart somewhat collapsing and filled with fear. Why is there a market here as well? Wasn't that one just left a few days ago...

Thousands of heads turned to gaze at him as he moved, like needles pricking at his back

In such an environment, he gradually developed a calm and composed reaction to changes.

The exterior of this building is made of white wall tiles, consisting of two stories, covering a substantial area of at least four to five hundred square meters, with the words "Market Beast Research Institute" prominently displayed at the entrance

A strong fear gripped his heart, and he could not think of any excuse at the moment. Moreover, that creature seemed to have noticed him. If he deliberately took a detour... would he be detected?

No, I am very much looking forward to it. Let's hurry over there. Xu Shen quickly replied, "I just thought the road ahead might be difficult to navigate..."

He controlled the relaxation of all his muscles, allowing his wildly beating heart to gradually calm down, his expression remaining blank throughout, which made him secretly grateful to the "mother" who had accompanied him for three months

The thousands of pale heads, along with the bloodshot eyeballs, seem to be gazing at... themselves

It will definitely be fine

Deng Feng was somewhat shocked and immediately understood the reason behind the term "special" mentioned above

Deng Feng looked at the boy beside him with a strange expression, as if to say, do you have some serious illness

He cleared his throat lightly and said, "I live right next to you, over there is the dormitory for me and *Tu* Shu. By the way, I haven't seen you around these past few days. Did you just arrive today?"

He relaxed, nodded, and followed Deng Feng's lead, walking up the steps, passing through the corridor, and arriving in front of a building

Only a wisp of mist passed through the center of his black pupils, and the color of the black irises seemed to lighten somewhat, giving off a sense of emptiness and distraction

My name is Deng Feng, and I was asked to take you to open the market. What is your name?

Are you really sure you want to just let it go like this

It seems I haven't made a mistake in finding you, newcomer. The message above mentioned a particularly special individual, and that should be you

The old man, who was sound asleep, suddenly sat up in shock, as if on the brink of death. He looked around and, upon seeing only two foolish young lads before him, finally realized he had been tricked

The old man's snoring is extremely loud

For "seeing," it is the lifelong aspiration of all the fog dwellers

He controlled the market's gaze, gradually calming down, and his eyes returned to a deep black color. Suddenly, he felt a hint of restraint, secretly relieved that the other party still could not see him; otherwise, if he were to witness his own loss of composure, it would be somewhat embarrassing for him, a 'senior' with five months more experience than the other.

Xu Shen : `` ... ... ''

Xu Shen gradually relaxed his body, and indeed, they were not on the same level, and there was no attack on himself

"Xu Shen, is that so? Let's walk and talk," Deng Feng said, grasping Xu Shen's arm. Here, unlike in the illustrations, there are no guide ropes; tasks such as cleaning and repairing equipment parts are all the responsibility of the logistics department in the administrative division.

The upper body is clad in a black fitted short shirt, featuring a sword blade logo at the chest, which has already been soaked with sweat, accentuating the well-defined muscle lines, suggesting that he has just come from the training ground

At this moment, feeling helpless about the slow walking, he took the opportunity to observe the boy beside him, the so-called special guy mentioned earlier... On the surface, he seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

Xu Shen swallowed hard, recalling the words of the young woman named Su Ya, "Do not gaze..."

Do you want to go somewhere else to wander around? Deng Feng found a reason for Xu Shen and shook his head, saying: "The market will open soon, so let's wait until you can see it before going to play. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. By the way, why do you seem to have no anticipation for the market opening at all?"

"Hmm, then let's go," Xu Shen nodded repeatedly

If I can go straight, why should I take a detour

Who are you

Deng Feng looked at the boy who walked out of the door, very young, still resembling a misty figure, clearly the newcomer.

The boy beside me exuded a strong aura of desolation, constantly emanating from him, like the heavy resentment that lingers around a malevolent spirit

Soon, they reached the end of the lawn

After all, ordinary conversations here will involve the existence of 'markets', making it quite inconvenient for the local residents to work here

"Wait until you open the eye of the market, and you will be able to see it." Deng Feng was impatient, especially after opening the eye of the market. He quickly freed himself from the guiding rope and walked briskly, able to freely feel the sensation of the wind brushing against him.

"Slow down, there are steps here, don't rush," Deng Feng said with a smile

He gazed slightly, attempting to peer through the ruins with his eyes

It will be fine, everything will be fine

There is no one guarding the entrance; this is the internal area of the Operations Department, considered one of the safest places in the entire lower district

Surely, someone must have informed him long ago

Mother is right, it is indeed too dangerous outside

That ... ...

I have been here for several days," Xu Shen obediently replied, "but I have just been staying in the dormitory and haven't gone out

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Deng Feng's face as he cleared his throat and asked in confusion, "Oh, why has Sister Li come?"

He believes that any fog dweller hearing such news would feel excitement and anticipation, and he was the same way back then. Although being involved in the incident at the market was very painful, this news has alleviated much of that pain.

But unfortunately, Deng Feng discovered that there was not a trace of joy on Xu Shen's face

Cannot let it realize that it has seen it

As he spoke, he clearly "saw" the creature, which was crawling on the lawn, its body glistening with moisture and composed of thousands of human heads, slightly twisting its body and looking in his direction
