Chapter 1500 Repeat

On the first night in Neon, Deng Shentong and others took turns on the night shift.

When Zhang Yi got up in the morning, they came over to have breakfast together and report what they observed last night.

The breakfast is very rich, and Zhang Yi never treats himself badly even when he is outdoors.

The best delicacies, and the alcohol stove for heating are all carried with you, so you can eat fresh and delicious food.

In contrast, Deng Shentong and his companions could only smile bitterly and shake their heads as they looked at the vacuum-packed rations in their pockets.

"Come and eat together!"

Zhang Yi generously invited them to come and have dinner together, and Deng Shentong and the others were of course happy to do so.

Everyone gathered together, and Zhang Yi even took out a luxurious long table and matching sofa chairs from the alien space, and enjoyed breakfast elegantly.

It felt like he was not doing a mission in the freezing cold environment, but was here on vacation.

"How was your observation last night?"

Zhang Yi stuffed a steaming crab roe bun into his mouth and ate it slowly, while looking at Deng Shentong, Baili Changqing and others.

Baili Changqing said: "We watched it all night yesterday and indeed found something!"

"Those monsters were wandering around Edo Castle without any apparent purpose. They were just wandering around the city streets, as if they were patrolling their territory."

"And when the night was about to dawn," Baili Changqing lowered his voice and said as if he had seen a ghost, "they all suddenly disappeared! It was as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. Not a single ghost was left!"

Zhang Yi raised his head, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

"You mean, all of a sudden, they all disappeared?"

He saw so many strange things that night, so many shadowy figures that he couldn't count them.

It doesn't make sense that such a large group of ghosts, spread all over Edo, would suddenly disappear.

"Is it possible that they are all illusions?"

Bai Chunyu made such a speculation.

"A nighttime illusion that disappears during the day. Or even a person's dream that ends when he wakes up?"

People had various speculations, and no consensus could be reached.

The only thing that is certain is that if you encounter these things at night, you can only run away.

Because they are simply impossible to kill.

Zhang Yi took the last sip of soy milk, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Let's go into Edo Castle again today to explore! This time I will go directly to the Daliangdu Museum."

Deng Shentong said: "This may risk alerting the enemy."

"I will be careful."

Zhang Yi said calmly: "If the 500,000 people in the city are really puppets, then our movements would have been discovered long ago!"

"So you must move in the area around me. This way, if a fight breaks out, I can get you away immediately."

Thinking of this possibility, Deng Shentong and others were horrified.

However, they were determined to obtain the national treasure of this mission, so they nodded and decided to go into Edo Castle again to find out.

As the first ray of pale sunlight appeared in the sky, the fog in Edo Castle began to slowly dissipate.

And those Edo residents who had lost their ability to move have regained their vitality one by one.

They seemed to have no perception of what had happened before, nor did they realize that they had become motionless puppets at night, and continued to move around Edo with full spirits.

Everything seems to be thriving.

If you have not seen the ghost scenes happening at night, no one would have thought that this city has already been invaded by weirdness.

After observing for a while, Zhang Yi and others dressed up again and sneaked into Edo Castle.

There were about ten hours in daylight, and Zhang Yi was not in a hurry to go to the Daliangdu Museum.

He thought about it and went to the area he passed yesterday. His first stop was Akihabara, which was crowded with people.

The city's neon lights flashed brightly, and various game promotional photos and the cute image of the two-spined monkey appeared in the most conspicuous place on the building.

"Sir, Miss, welcome to the lovehouse! Today we have an underground idol performance here!"

A maid ran over with a sweet smile on her face and handed Zhang Yi and others a flyer.

It said that there would be a performance by underground idol Miss Teramonto today, as well as a list of today's special meals and drinks.

Zhang Yi took the flyer, nodded slightly at her and walked forward.

The maid quickly turned around and called for other guests.

Walking on the streets of Akihabara, he saw a loving father and daughter. The father held his daughter's hand and looked down at her tenderly.

"Airi, what gift do you want today? Daddy will buy it for you!"

"Really? Thank you, Dad! Airi loves you the most!"

……

On the other side, Mrs. Takayanagi, wearing a dark blue kimono, was buying her son his favorite new model.

The ambulance came rushing over, Dr. Hirasaka was nervously rescuing the injured, while Ms. Nanase, wearing a pink nurse uniform, put an oxygen mask on the patient.

Zhang Yi watched all this coldly, while Zhou Keer's eyes widened.

"This...these..."

She lowered her voice and said to Zhang Yi: "Why do I feel like I've seen these things yesterday?"

"Yes, it is indeed a repeat of yesterday."

Zhang Yi also whispered.

"These people, they live their lives in the same way. It's like they're robots with specific programs implanted in them."

If he hadn't visited for the second time, he couldn't have imagined such a scene.

Behind the seemingly harmonious appearance of Edo Castle, there lies a terrifying secret.

"Are they... still alive?"

When Zhou Keer said this, her voice trembled a little.

How can a living person live like a machine?

But Zhang Yi said affirmatively: "No, they are all still alive!"

He had verified this yesterday because he had cut open a young boy's body with his own hands and watched his bright red blood flow out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head, "Let's go to another place to have a look!"

He brought Zhou Ke'er and Yang Xinxin to a dark place, and after making sure that there was no one around, he activated his ability and traveled towards the place he had been yesterday.

Soon after, he arrived at the residential area near the Edo TV Tower.

And found the single-family building from yesterday.

Zhang Yi and the other two appeared directly at the door. After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi did not choose to knock on the door, but sneaked directly into the house.

He had been here yesterday and was very familiar with the terrain, so he asked Yang Xinxin and Zhou Keer to stay in the courtyard while he went into the room.

It was morning and Zhang Yi smelled the fragrance of food.

I heard the voices of a boy and a girl talking.

"Really, Yuuji! You clearly promised to take me to the amusement park today, why did you go back on your word at the last minute!"

"I'm sorry, Asuka. Lin-chan and Ai-chan are always pestering me, and I can't get away! Look—"

Zhang Yi stuck his head out from the second floor and saw a Shura scene happening in the living room on the first floor.
