Chapter 35 The Mysterious Fog Invades the World

"Ah Le, does Jiangcheng get foggy at night?"

Chi Le didn't know the answer to this question.

All he knew was that the fog felt all too familiar to him.

Eerie fog.

The bizarre world is inherently cold and shrouded in eerie mist.

The fog spread out at an almost instantaneous speed.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared from the end of the street in front of them, enveloping Chi Le and Yu Xun.

At this moment, Yu Xun also realized something was wrong and sobered up considerably.

"This is eerie..."

Yu Xun opened his mouth, then quickly closed it again.

The words "mysterious fog" almost slipped out of my mouth.

But with Chi Le right beside him, Yu Xun forced himself to endure it.

"Chi Le, it's going to be dangerous next, you have to stay close to me!"

Yu Xun shielded Chi Le behind him, his face still flushed from the alcohol, but he was perfectly clear-headed at the moment.

He knew perfectly well what the strange fog appearing in the world meant!

A mysterious fog has invaded the present world!

The eerie mist broke through the barrier between the real world and the bizarre world, descending directly into the real world.

The appearance of a single mysterious fog in the present world will not bring about much change.

Besides making those trapped inside feel the surrounding temperature drop, making breathing difficult, and causing slight discomfort,

Actually, there aren't many other harms.

But the key is that along with the eerie fog come evil spirits and demons hidden in the fog!

That's the most dangerous thing!

Demons and evil spirits lurking in the eerie fog seek to kill unarmed modern humans.

It's as easy as killing a chicken.

The Special Affairs Bureau has documented such incidents.

The most serious incident was the mysterious fog invasion of Haicheng Hehai Town four years ago.

An entire remote town was transformed into an eerie, deserted place overnight.

No remains were found at the scene.

The entire town, with its thousands of inhabitants, vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

The Special Operations Bureau at the time did everything in its power to erase any trace of the incident.

If this reveals that many of these events occurred, it is because the eerie mists of the mysterious world have invaded the present world.

At that time, everyone in the Great Xia might know about the existence of the bizarre world, and that would be a huge joke.

It's clear that the cover-up was quite effective; if Yu Xun hadn't joined the Special Affairs Bureau, he wouldn't have known about this earth-shattering past.

This also shows the severity of the invasion of the mysterious fog into the present world.

"Damn it, my phone really isn't working!"

Yu Xun pressed hard on his phone, which had lost signal and whose screen wouldn't even light up, and cursed under his breath.

"No, we must first find the ordinary people who have been caught up in this incident."

"It's the weekend, so there are a lot of people shopping and we're out late..."

"Even in the best-case scenario, the incident only affected the street where Ah Le and I had our late-night snack."

"But the number of people involved is in the dozens or even hundreds; who knows how many ordinary people have been caught up in this incident!"

"So many people... Damn it!"

Yu Xun looked around, trying to find out if there were any other ordinary people around him besides Chi Le.

The anxiety on his face was almost palpable.

Yu Xun had not been with the Special Operations Bureau for long, but under the subtle influence of his older brother Yu Ying, he had already developed the habit of considering ordinary people first when dealing with problems.

Unlike Yu Xun, who was anxious and pacing back and forth, Chi Le calmly surveyed her surroundings.

Overall, their environment has changed dramatically.

Under the eerie fog, the surroundings were no longer familiar; on both sides were streets and alleys with various snacks, barbecue, and night market stalls.

Instead, it was a swamp covered with low-lying vegetation and black mud.

However, some existing buildings have been preserved.

It blends in strangely with this swamp.

It was as if the code of this area had gone awry, with things from the real world and the bizarre world intertwined in a chaotic mess.

Chi Le tentatively tapped his foot in front of him, blending into the streetlight, with half of his body "inserted" into the grass on the streetlight pole.

The weeds bent under the force, providing a real response.

"This is probably not just a small part of a bizarre world's territory that has directly descended into the mortal realm."

Chi Le withdrew his foot, listening to the rustling footsteps approaching from the eerie fog around him.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't I be essentially living in a bizarre world? In that case..."

With a thought, only Chi Le noticed a half-hidden door flickering in front of him, visible only to him.

……

"What did you say?"

In the Jiangcheng Special Affairs Bureau, Deputy Director Zhu, who was in charge of the bureau's daily operations and logistics, slammed his teacup on the table.

The scalding hot tea, along with the unopened tea leaves, was scattered on the table, steaming hot.

"You mean, the eerie mist has invaded the mortal world, and right here in Jiangcheng?!"

Holding the still-warm report, the subordinate wiped the sweat from his brow and replied.

"Yes, Director Zhu, and the location is on Changxing Street, in the southern part of the city."

Deputy Director Zhu completely ignored the hot tea that had spilled from the table onto his lap.

He felt the patterns on the ceiling spinning, and he felt as if he had lost the restraint of gravity and was about to be lifted into the air.

"Has the area shrouded by the eerie fog been determined yet?"

The subordinate flipped through the report quickly, the papers clattering together.

"It's confirmed. The strange fog roughly covers the area of ​​Changxing Street and Dong'an Street."

"Dong'an Street is alright, only a little over half of it is covered. There aren't many people on Dong'an Street on weekdays. The problem is Changxing Street."

Chengnan District was once the old city area of ​​Jiangcheng.

Although its permanent population and level of prosperity are not comparable to the emerging eastern district.

However, it is the district with the richest historical charm in Jiangcheng.

Many people make a special trip back to the South City District during holidays just to taste the flavors of their childhood.

Changxing Street, in particular, is one of the oldest and most established food streets, and its popularity goes without saying.

After a period of digestion, Deputy Director Zhu has accepted the fact that the mysterious fog has invaded Jiangcheng.

"Have you compiled an estimate of the number of people affected?"

"A conservative estimate is 300 people."

Despite being well-prepared, Deputy Director Zhu still gasped in surprise.

300 people!

It was still close to midnight, and many people chose to go home to rest.

If it were between 8 and 10 a.m., a popular time for people to go out for a walk...

This number needs to be at least three times!

"Director Li, are Deputy Director Wang and the others at the bureau?"

Given the gravity of the matter, Deputy Director Zhu's first thought was to quickly begin discussing countermeasures.

"Director Li is in a meeting in Jincheng, but Deputy Director Wang entered the bizarre world three hours earlier."

Deputy Director Zhu remained silent.

Indeed, the matter had reached him, the deputy director in charge of daily operations and logistical support.

There's no reason why the two above him would find out later than him. If he were really in the bureau, he wouldn't be sitting here waiting for a report; he would be in Director Li's office.

"Activate Emergency Plan No. 2, cancel all leave, and notify all daytime returnees still in the present world to assemble immediately."

"Those still at the bureau who returned home during the day, I need to see them in the conference room... no, in the plaza outside within five minutes!"

The subordinate nodded and hurriedly relayed Deputy Director Zhu's instructions.

Deputy Director Zhu picked up the half-splashed teacup and looked out the window towards Changxing Street.

The herbal tea has a slightly bitter taste when swallowed.
