Chapter 224 Do you think I want to come?

Hearing this, Su Yi quickly stood up and stood by the window and looked out.

But amid the pattering black rain, a black mist suddenly appeared on the ground on the streets of the community. The black mist was as thick as ink, and it continued to spread to all directions with the strong wind in the rain.

In just a few blinks of an eye, black mist floated out from the streets and corners of the community, and all places hit by black water were shrouded in black mist.

People in the surrounding buildings kept hearing exclamations, and watched helplessly as the black mist continued to spread upwards, rising to a height of seven or eight meters in the blink of an eye.

Residents in all communities closed their windows and plugged up all the gaps in their homes.

We are all veterans who have survived the apocalyptic disaster for two months, and we will definitely not do the foolish behavior of "refusing to close the windows and lock the doors even though the black fog is obviously weird."

Lin Yue did the same thing. While Su Yi was observing the movement of the black fog outside the window, she had already controlled the intelligent system in the room to activate biochemical defense measures. While closing the windows, she also cleaned the room of possible toxic gases.

"So fast..."

Su Yi frowned and looked out the window. At this moment, he could no longer see the picture outside the window clearly.

It had only been less than 30 seconds since he saw the black mist, but the entire neighborhood had been completely enveloped by the black mist!

The black fog outside the window continued to billow. Su Yi stared at it and seemed to be able to see some vague ghost figures and distorted human faces inside. He didn't know whether it was a visual illusion caused by the black fog or whether these strange existences really existed.

"Sir, the voices of people outside can't be heard."

Jiang Xiaoci suddenly reminded: "I deliberately canceled the soundproofing facilities in the surrounding rooms. If there is any movement downstairs, sir, you can hear it here."

"But they seemed to be dead. There was no movement."

Jiang Xiaoci's gentle reminder shocked Lin Yue, and she rushed out the door: "Wang Daniu! Go downstairs and see how the others are doing!"

"yes!"

Wang Daniu, who was guarding the door, responded loudly and ran downstairs.

Speaking of Wang Daniu, he can be considered promising.

Wang Daniu himself is only an A-level combat talent. Looking at Jinling, he is just the leader of a small bandit. He has no power or strength.

But by chance, he was smart, surrendered early, and was loyal, working hard in the community without complaining.

No, two days ago, Su Yi specially approved the Wang Brigade to lead the team to guard his building, and his position was transferred to the head building security and defense captain.

His position level has not gone up, but the substantive significance of his position is great. After all, not everyone can get close to Su Yi casually.

When Lin Yue sent the order to Wang Daniu, the long-lost doomsday disaster message also appeared in front of Su Yi's eyes.

"Now begins the third round of doomsday, the disaster in the foggy ghost town!"

"That rain is indeed related to the third disaster."

Su Yi was not surprised, his eyes were calm, he was silently thinking about something.

"Sir? Is this the third round of apocalypse?"

Jiang Xiaoci looked at Su Yi, who nodded and whispered to her the message of the third round of doomsday disaster.

In fact, there is nothing to convey, it is just a matter of one sentence.

There is only one simple message in each round of doomsday, and there is no other reminder. The survivors can only rely on themselves to constantly explore everything about the disaster.

"The disaster of fog...is it a fog that covers the world?"

Jiang Xiaoci looked out the window with thoughtful eyes. Su Yi corrected him in a deep voice: "It's a disaster in the foggy ghost town! The mechanism will not do useless things, as you said."

"It seems that sir is learning very quickly."

Jiang Xiaoci suddenly smiled. She still had no fear. She played with Su Yi's fingers with her slender fingers. She lowered her head and asked, "Sir, there is a ghost word in it. Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"There may not necessarily be ghosts, the focus should be on the ghost town."

Su Yi shook his head. He looked out the window, frowned and analyzed: "Literally, ghost town has two meanings."

"From a geographical perspective, a ghost town refers to a city where no one survives after the resources are exhausted. It is an abandoned place, but it is not necessarily empty, it may just be that there are very few people."

"From a mythological perspective, ghost cities are purely places where ghosts and monsters gather. However, according to the Chinese mythology system, ordinary ghosts do not have the ability to form cities, so they mostly refer to places like Fengdu and Yama Palace."

"Fengdu is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a large city in the north. We are in the south of the Yangtze River, so there shouldn't be a ghost town."

Su Yi paused and looked at Jiang Xiaoci: "If you think this round of doomsday is a threat from ghosts, it can only be caused by the mist giving birth to ghosts. If the ghosts kill us, this place will naturally become a ghost town."

Jiang Xiaoci looked at Su Yi with a smile. Before she could express her opinion, a strange and old voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Mr. Su, you are wrong."

"Um?"

Su Yi was stunned for a moment and looked out, only to see an old man with a gaunt figure appearing in the room.

He was wearing a wide and simple white robe with patches on his trouser legs, and his temperament looked very simple; in his hand he held a curved and rough tree stick, with a faint light shining on the top of the stick, much like some magical... Light bulb.

"Eastern Journey!"

Su Yi blurted out because he saw that the golden light group in the center of the room had disappeared.

The place where the golden light group was previously was replaced by this old man!

There is no doubt that he is the SS-level wise man (warrior?) Dongfang Zhiyuan that Su Yi has been waiting for for several hours!

Oh my god!

Grandpa, you are finally out!

"Mr. Su, you are so rude."

The old man smiled lightly: "It's been a long time since anyone could call me by my first name."

"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!"

Su Yi quickly left Jiang Xiaoci, hurriedly walked to the old man's side, and reached out to help the old man very respectfully.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, and his palms were covered with old veins like chicken feet. He looked not only 70 years old, but also 100 years old. It was as if he would die of old age at any time.

Dongfang Zhiyuan looked at Su Yi indifferently and let him reach out to support him and help him sit on the sofa.

"Old Mr. Dongfang, I have heard about you for a long time. When I saw you today, you really have an extraordinary temperament, which made me admire you unconsciously."

Su Yi lowered his head slightly, his voice was gentle, and his tone was very polite, even respectful.

This is an SS-level talent!

Su Yi has analyzed that the more senior talents are, the more uncontrollable they are.

If you are polite to such talents and have a clear attitude, then you are definitely right.

When Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out, he had to kneel down and cry and beg. Boss Cao almost kneeled down and licked the excellent counselor.

History tells us that when you are a leader, you must learn true condescension in order to promote talents.

"See you today?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan put the lamp stick aside with smooth and difficult movements, and said in a very cold tone: "Mr. Su, have you seen my photo or heard of my name? Why have you heard about it for so long?"

"The mechanism told me. I saw your talent data, so it's very shocking."

Su Yi was very honest, lowered his head and explained: "In my gathering place, you are the only one at the top, so I naturally respect you very much."

"Why, Mr. Su only respects me and doesn't want to respect others?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan coughed a few times, his voice hoarse as if there was phlegm stuck in it. As he spoke, his old eyes glanced at Jiang Xiaoci beside him: "This woman has helped you a lot, don't you respect her?"

Su Yi lowered his head: "Of course I respect it too."

"oh."

Dongfang Zhiyuan nodded and suddenly asked: "Then do you respect her more or me? Who do you think is more indispensable in your heart?"

Su Yi: "..."

No, he has so many problems!

Other people who have successfully recruited talents have patted their chests and expressed their loyalty. They knew what situation they were in and were mentally prepared.

As a result, when they arrived at Dongfang Zhiyuan, Su Yi hadn't even said a few words, but he asked a lot of critical questions.

Even what he said had a faint flavor of yin and yang.

"Of course the old gentleman is more important."

Jiang Xiaoci lightly flipped her hair and spoke with a dignified smile: "Sir, he is too stupid to express how much he values ​​the old gentleman in his heart, but he has been looking forward to your coming for a long time. He has been here for a long time."

"I didn't ask you, little girl."

Dongfang Zhiyuan smiled hoarsely, then stretched out his hand to grab Su Yi's palm: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

The old man looked frail, but his palms were extraordinarily strong, and Su Yi even felt pain when he grasped them.

"It's been a long wait."

Su Yi did not struggle, lowered his head and spoke respectfully. Dongfang Zhiyuan sneered: "You can't go out, right? I'm coming out of your room. You have to wait even if you don't want to wait!"

"This is also true."

Su Yi was helpless: "Old sir... Is there something I didn't do well that made you feel disappointed? Can you give me a heads up?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan shook his head: "No, you have nothing wrong with me. We just met."

Su Yi wondered: "Then why are you so rude to me?"

He felt that he was being very groveling. He had never had this kind of attitude towards his superiors before. This was all because Dongfang Zhiyuan was currently the only SS-level talent.

"Because I didn't want to come! But I came anyway!"

Dongfang Zhiyuan glared at Su Yi and raised his finger to point at the ceiling: "What's your test here? Why do you drag me with you! Do you really think I'm too busy to do anything serious?"

"this..."

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and he and Jiang Xiaoci looked at each other.

Obviously, it can be heard from Dongfang Zhiyuan's words that he, like Wang Shi, has some understanding of the doomsday mechanism.

He seemed unwilling to come, but was forcefully pulled over by the mechanism.

"Old sir... I heard from my subordinates that the mechanism of recruitment should be recruiting your clone?"

Su Yi spoke cautiously, but before he could say the next sentence, he saw the old man sneering: "Who can copy me!"

Grass!

Is this the true body?

No, it’s possible that the talents don’t have clones, or that they are all original bodies!

"..."

Su Yi took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "I don't understand this, but if the old gentleman wants to leave, I will naturally send him off."

"Boy, are you willing?"

"I know I can't stop you."

"No, I can't leave anymore."

Dongfang Zhiyuan regained his composure and pointed at the empty tea cup in front of him.

Jiang Xiaoci was very clever. As soon as the old man raised his hand, she obediently stood up and poured tea and water for him. This made Dongfang Zhiyuan's eyes soften a little.

"Your wife is quite virtuous and smart."

"Sir, you are so complimentary."

Su Yi responded quickly, but Jiang Xiaoci was no different and put down the tea cup with a smile on his face: "Old sir, please use it."

"Um."

Dongfang Zhiyuan nodded, stretched out his skinny and dry palm, and gently touched the tea with his fingers.

He didn't see any movement, and the tea seemed to be half poured out, disappearing quickly, and the bottom was gone in an instant.

"This..."

Su Yi blinked, he stared at the old man's fingers, as if he wanted to find a "small mouth" on it.

This old man doesn't use his mouth to drink water?

"I basically understand what's going on here."

Dongfang Zhiyuan sat upright on the sofa, and he used his eyes to lightly signal Su Yi to sit in front of him.

"Your power, your talent, what talents you have, what you have experienced... I basically have a grasp of it."

"Don't ask why, you should see my ability from the mechanism, I can grasp everything that has happened to humans, although there are some restrictions here, but I can fully understand the shelter I am in."

Dongfang Zhiyuan interrupted Su Yi's question with his eyes, the old man didn't seem to like listening to some useless questions.

Su Yi nodded, he thought of Dongfang Zhiyuan's talent characteristic [Historical Insight], he didn't expect that this characteristic would have such a function.

"In the world where I live, I am the only one, and here I am still the only one."

Dongfang Zhiyuan's tone was loud, but his tone was very calm, as if he was saying something: "You don't need to ask too many questions to me, and don't ask too deep questions about the test mechanism, which will trigger the punishment of the mechanism."

"I came late before, and I was fighting whether I could cancel this recruitment."

"Although I failed, at least you are not a bad person, and it is barely worth my advice."

Dongfang Zhiyuan took a breath and sighed slowly. The old man seemed helpless: "...Just think of it as a trip to play."

"Then how do you plan to play, old man?"

Su Yi spoke carefully on the side. He felt that this question should not be too stupid, after all, it was a continuation of the conversation.

Dongfang Zhiyuan glanced at Su Yi lightly and did not speak.

Until Su Yi was seen to be a little scared, he said lightly: "Correct your wrong cognition first. You can't even figure out the foggy ghost city! How can you save the world!"
