Jiang Lu said.

Lucifer looked at everything in his sight in amazement. It was the first time even for him to see such a scene.

“It’s my first time… It’s a very strange feeling, but beautiful at the same time…” he murmured.

“well enough.”

Jiang Lu disagreed: “I saw it a few times when I was a kid, but this is nothing. I didn’t even see a villain.”

However, after some observation, they were still a little disappointed.

Although at first glance it seems that everything here is strange, if you compare them carefully you will find that although they are weird, they all have a degree and the styles are almost the same. It is really difficult to find the strangest one among them.

It’s like when you’re browsing a website and see anime, each one is very eye-catching, but if the website is full of hentai, then no matter which one it is, it will be a bit mediocre.

This is far from the standard that Nordens said would be weird at first glance.

“It seems that there are no ancient artifacts in the main urban area of ​​Yinjing City.” Although he was mentally prepared, Jiang Lu still felt a little regretful after confirming it.

“That’s normal, actually.” Lucifer consoled him, “Think about it, Yinjing City is right under Nyarlathotep’s nose. If the ancient artifacts were hidden here, he should have found them long ago. So if you don’t see them in the main city and the palace, then there’s no need to look anywhere else in Yinjing City.”

“That makes sense.” Jiang Lu nodded.

The reason is very simple. Antiquities are like the stabilizing force of every world. Only when they exist in that world can the world be stable and peaceful. If they are taken away, the world will be destroyed and all living things will become extinct.

Therefore, the ancient objects in the underworld must still be in the underworld.

And if the ancient artifact existed in Yinjing City, then Nyarlathotep, who was so close to it, would not have failed to take any measures. Even if he did not move it to the palace, he would definitely protect it and keep it in the safest place.

But now that they have not been found in the most heavily defended area of ​​the main urban area, there is no need to look in other places. It has been confirmed that the ancient artifacts are scattered in other places in the underworld.

After looking around again and confirming that nothing was missed, Jiang Lu and Lucifer left the spiritual realm and headed to the next overlooking point.

Jiang Lu estimated the time. If he worked hard, he should be able to synchronize several cities around Yinjing City before dawn. At most, he might be able to complete half of the work.

So, in the darkness of the night, the two of them traveled through the vast land of the underworld without stopping for a moment.

They were moving extremely fast, but the underworld was too big after all. The distance between cities was even farther than the distance between continents on Earth. In addition, it had been a long time since he had been to those places. Jiang Lu no longer had any way to achieve instant movement by finding the exact coordinates and could only rely on his legs.

So by the time they reached the next city, nearly half an hour had passed.

“Does that look like that to you?”

Standing at the overlooking point, Lucifer pointed at a towering tree with tangled roots and said, “This is the only tree in this area. Could it be that one?”

Jiang Lu looked at it carefully for a long time and shook his head slowly: “It shouldn’t be. Although there is only this one tree here, there are many similar trees in Yinjing City. It can only be said that it is special here. At most, it can be regarded as a specialty?”

Again finding nothing, they moved on to the next city.

“Does that look like that to you?”

Lucifer asked, “Shouldn’t a pineapple this big be weird enough?”

“I don’t think so.” Jiang Lu shook his head. “Although it’s strange to have a pineapple here, if you think about it carefully, pineapples are also something we can see in our daily lives. It doesn’t fit what Nordens said about being the strangest thing we have ever seen in our lives, right?”

“Too.”

They continued on to the next city.

“Will that be it?”

Lucifer pointed at the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin in the distance and said, “It looks like it’s very powerful.”

“I don’t think so.” Jiang Lu still shook his head: “The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin is not a very special thing. Maybe it was impressive and impressive ten years ago, but now it has become a standard and very ordinary.”

“But there seems to be another person up there.”

“Oh, that’s Ye Fan. He should just be passing by. It’s even less likely to be an ancient artifact. This thing can’t just run away.”

Sure enough, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin floated away not long after, and no one knew where it went. All that could be seen was a tuft of red hair poking out from the bottom of the coffin in a place Ye Fan didn’t notice, but it quickly went back again.

“Should I remind him?” Lucifer asked.

“Don’t…it will bring bad luck.”

They move on.

Lucifer asked questions again and again, pointing out things that he found strange and abrupt, but was denied by Jiang Lu every time.

It was almost dawn, and the two had already started planning to return after visiting the last city, when the first thing that truly shocked Lucifer finally appeared. He didn’t even ask Jiang Lu, but felt goose bumps all over his body at just one glance.

“Just now…just now was it…”

He gestured with difficulty: “Is there an oregano with a face and limbs running past us?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Lu nodded: “Yes, you read it right, but I still think this is normal and not a big deal, because I have COSed like this before, it’s a bit too ordinary.”

But this time Lucifer did not agree.

After being silent for a long time, he finally couldn’t help it.

“Forget about the previous ones, you’re telling me this is just ordinary?! It has a face! And it has leg hair! Isn’t this too weird?!”

Chapter 462: Haki

Although this still seemed unremarkable from Jiang Lu’s perspective, at Lucifer’s insistence, he still planned to go and take a look.

If we don’t follow Jiang Lu’s standards, to be honest, this thing does seem a bit weird.

All the things they had seen in the spiritual realm before, although it cannot be said that they were completely unmoved, were more like the movement of an aquarium.

Although it is dynamic, it is like water plants, moving back and forth over and over again in a small range along a fixed trajectory, just like a crudely made dynamic desktop.

The monster running back and forth in front of us is out of tune with this nominally dynamic but actually static picture. It appears so vivid that it looks no different from a living thing.

But just when Lucifer thought that this might be a living creature in the spiritual realm, after dragging Jiang Lu closer to observe, he discovered something strange.

Although it is running and making large-scale movements, it is like an ant trapped in a bottle, unable to find a way out and can only turn back and forth.

Moreover, the trajectory of its running is not random. Whenever it runs to a fixed point, it will stop, turn around, and continue running in a straight line in another direction. After reaching the next point, it will repeat the process.

While Lucifer was convincing Jiang Lu to come straight over the boat, it had already completed a cycle and passed silently by the overlooking point where the boat was again.

It is like a tireless robot. No one knows how long it has been doing this boring work alone in this unnoticed corner and how many times it has run through the cycles.

“It’s coming!” Standing on the path that the monster was about to pass through, Lucifer quickly told Jiang Lu to pay attention as he saw the monster coming towards him: “Look at its eyes!”

“I’m looking.” Jiang Lu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. Then, his expression became solemn: “It’s double eyelids!”

Lucifer was stunned and became furious: “Which eye are you looking at? Aren’t its eyes at the bottom?!”

“what?”

Jiang Lu turned his eyes away from the top end and looked down.

Only then did he realize that what he had just seen was indeed not the other person’s eyes, but just a meaningless hole, and that what he had mistaken for double eyelids were just wrinkles.

Its real eyes are hidden on the elastic butt-like part at the bottom, but we all know that’s not a butt.

One on each side, two huge but lifeless, withered eyeballs that look confused and desperate, hanging externally. There is no eyelids to protect them, only the thin flesh at the tail of the fragile eyeballs.

Like the eyes of a snail, they just hang on the skin and swing back and forth as the subject runs, making people worry that they will disconnect at any second.

What is strange is that although it has eyes, it has no mouth, nose or ears. Of course, it is also possible that it is hidden in some place that is not easy to find, because those gully-like folds are stacked layer upon layer, and it is difficult to guess what is hidden inside if you don’t turn it over.

“What a cunning guy, hiding his face here?”

Jiang Lu stared at the two external eyeballs and suddenly had a strange feeling.

He was very sure that the other person was not looking at him, but inexplicably, he felt that the other person saw him.

The subtle changes in Jiang Lu’s expression were captured by Lucifer.

“Did you feel it too?” Lucifer asked. Obviously, he had the same feeling, so he let Jiang Lu look into its eyes.

When it got closer, the two discovered that what Lucifer had mistaken for hairy big feet, which could only be partially seen because of the building, were actually not legs, but two arms that were unreasonably strong.

When it raised its palms while running, the two people could clearly see that in the center of each of its palms there was a mass of translucent reddish flesh. Although covered with a little dust, it was still possible to tell that its original color should be pink.

“Paw pads! It has evolved paw pads!” Jiang Lu, who has raised cats for many years, suddenly realized: “No wonder it makes no sound when it runs! It’s a Haki!”

“? You don’t seem that surprised to see it has arms and eyes.”

As they were talking, the monster crawled past the two of them quickly. When Lucifer subconsciously retreated, Jiang Lu actually grabbed his hand hair and hung on the monster.

Just like reaching out and grabbing the carriage as a high-speed train passed by, Jiang Lu was pulled sideways, achieving a seamless transition from stationary to speeding.

“What are you doing?!” Lucifer was shocked and chased after it, but the monster was too fast and he couldn’t catch up even if he used all his strength in the spiritual realm.

“Wait for me here!” Jiang Lu shouted from afar.

Fortunately, the monster’s movement followed a fixed trajectory. Not long after, after another cycle, it returned to the starting point.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Lu loosened his grip and landed steadily next to Lucifer.

“So cool.” Jiang Lu looked like he had just gotten off a roller coaster, his face flushed with excitement.

“Why did you go up there suddenly?” Lucifer was relieved to see that he was safe and sound. “I couldn’t catch up with it at all.”

Jiang Lu smiled and explained, “Everything in the spiritual realm is a symbolic manifestation. It cannot be brought into reality, and we can only find its counterpart in reality.

Although it is still uncertain whether this is an ancient artifact, assuming it is, I think the point where it turns back must have some special significance.

I can only see the approximate location from the overlook, so I want to see exactly where it stops up close and then match it one by one in reality.”

“It’s too risky anyway.” Lucifer was still afraid: “We have only watched from a distance and have never touched anything inside. What if…”

“No, as long as we don’t change the history of the Spiritual River, this alone shouldn’t be a big problem.”

“I hope so.” At this point, Lucifer could only sigh: “So you wrote it all down?”

“Well, even if there are deviations from reality, the general characteristics of some reference objects are still there. We can find out when we go back and check them one by one.”

“Then let’s do it.”

They returned to the boat, then left the spirit realm and their consciousness returned to their bodies.

Lucifer flipped out of the boat with great ease and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Lu nodded, folded up the boat, and flipped down from the overlooking point, landing steadily on the ground.

They have passed through many cities. This city is neither remote nor central, and does not have a curfew like Yinjing City. Therefore, although it is late at night, there are still some idle people wandering around on the road.

The two men jumped down from the radio tower and woke up a homeless man under a big tree not far away.

The homeless man screamed “Damn it!” and then fainted.
