Chapter 52.1 Offer Your Soul
The sky gradually brightened.
It was soon going to be early morning, and the rain was getting smaller and smaller, only drizzle was still hitting his raincoat.
He came to the Beland outer region, dressed in a black raincoat, his face was looking like a face of passers-by.
Unlike before, he did not put on a face mask this time since the shadow mask sufficed to disguise him.
And soon, he reached the destination – the observatory deck, the glass plank road under his feet was full of stagnant water.
From here, one could see the outskirts of the city with binoculars. Shen Yi picked up the binoculars and quickly found the small villa in the suburbs.
He let Su Ling come here to find Byron.
Byron’s involvement in the incident came to light, and he knew very well as long as he was not captured immediately, he would probably hide here.
“Yare, you have to pay the price, not because of your evil doings, but because you made my friends pass away, made the girl I saved get seriously injured, and made my life chaotic.”
Shen Yi had already made a plan in his heart and decided to take action.
He slowly closed his eyes, relaxed his whole body, and began to atomize.
Fingers, arms, skin, internal organs …… Even the clothes worn outside also fogged up together, gradually drifting around into an irregular white mist.
Began to flee in the mid-air.
It was Shen Yi’s first attempt to fly in the true sense.
As he began to float up, he imagined a sensation upward, like a jump from the ground.
White mist floating up from the glass walkway of the observation deck.
When he came to the high altitude, the surrounding airflow made it difficult for him to keep his body. So he put his full to concentrate to control the foggy himself, otherwise, he might be driven by the airflow.
It seemed that he couldn’t fly too high… In case, if he flies too high and couldn’t control it, then he might be blown to an unknown place by the wind…
High in the air Shen Yi “looked” to the Beland city below.
This cosmopolitan city in the southeast of Noland was like a behemoth of densely packed buildings lying across the land, with nearly ten million people living as parasites.
The urban area and the suburbs were separated by a huge ring wall 50 meters high. Originally, the ring wall did not exist and was only established in the last ten years at the expense of the government, and many places were still under intensive construction.
The high wall that surrounds Beland had no official name, but the locals call it “The Beland Circle”.
His fogging body easily flew out from the observation deck and crossed the 50-meter-high wall to the city’s outer suburbs.
Shen Yi, who had become a fog, moves from mid-air to a road where the number of surrounding buildings has significantly reduced, from the high-rises that could be seen everywhere in Beland to the low-slung ones.
Shen Yi looked further away from the outskirts of the city and then went out dozens of miles and gradually moved away from the human gathering place.
“Most of the area further outside is the so-called Badlands.”
For ordinary people, the various gangs of vagrants and beasts and monsters of the Badlands were a great threat, and only the roads maintained by national governments were relatively safe.
However, it wasn’t always bad land outside the city, and the government still invest a lot of manpower to continue to protect the necessary areas.
For example, the port.
“Crossing the city outskirts from here, one can reach Beland Thames Harbour after 17 kilometers.”
Without any delay, his body flew in the direction of the southeast.
And reached the Beland Thames Port. It was located at the mouth of the Thames River adjacent to Beland and was one of the world’s cargo terminals with the most advanced technology, as well as the busiest port in Noland.
Standing above the warehouse, Shen Yi carefully looked at the surrounding environment. It was his first time at Nolan’s port.
A large ship moored at the edge of the port, and the deck was full of various containers. Numerous cranes were working in an orderly manner, extending their powerful “arms”, unloading a container full of goods, a freighter, or loading a container onto a freighter, and finally, they were shipped all over the world.
As helooked at the sea in the distance, he could see a border-like black at the end of the sky.
He said to himself: “Many ships will pass through the Thames to the ‘Sea of no Light’ outside Nolan… I’m also a little curious about it, but unfortunately, it’s too dangerous, otherwise, I really want to see the world’s oceans.”
The ‘sea of no light’ was a collective term for the world’s major seas because as long as people get too far from the land, the sun overhead would gradually disappear.
At that time, complete darkness would fall on the surface of the sea. The completely lightless travel would be a great test of the psychological endurance of the voyager.
He once saw in the occult books, some islands were also lightless, the local people were willing to exhaust all their wealth to obtain the existence of light.
He had a little bit of speculation in his heart that the only danger of sailing was probably not only the completely dark sky, but the ship with bad luck would meet something difficult for ordinary people to understand.
He shook his head and said to himself: “The best way to live in this world is to stay in the center of the city… No, no matter where you live, it may not be completely safe.”
But when he thought about it carefully, this was probably his own problem.
According to George, the vast majority of people in the outer world would have never been able to touch the mysteries of the inner world in their lifetime.
Even if they were lucky enough to witness some events, they would be found out by the anti-magic bureau and their memories erased forcibly.
And an organization like the Quiet Word that wanted to destroy a city was very rare…probably.
Shen Yi stood above the warehouse, the surrounding drizzle hit his raincoat, and there was a subtle touch as the wind blew onto his face.
He glanced at his watch.
Soon, it was going to be an early morning.
On the other side, Su Ling found herself in the first place, and she arrived by air. So the people from the Anti-Magic Bureau should not have come yet.
At this time, his mobile phone rang out.
Shen Yi took out his mobile phone and answered the call, Su Ling on the other side, reported the situation of the Anti-Magic Bureau to him, and the investigators did not arrive yet.
“But at the time, Yare was originally in the suburbs. After killing George, he would flee as soon as possible, which means he should already be here.”
Time was running out.
The harbor was so vast that it was almost impossible to find another hidden person alone.
But Shen Yi had a way to get Yare to take the bait himself.
“Time is running out, and he must be “fished” before the investigators of the Anti-Magic Bureau arrive.”
Shen Yi atomized and fell from the top of the warehouse. At the same time, his right hand took out a coin from his clothes pocket and tossed it into the air, while his left hand already condensed the coolness and aimed at it.
Still
The coin ‘stilled’ in mid-air, as well as the large area nearby, as long as there was a life with a higher inspiration, it would immediately feel the breath of an extra-worldly god.
He calmly reached for the still coin.
Soon, the coin’s stillness lifted and it sprinted up slightly in the hand.
It was a wonderful feeling.
While moving around the port, Shen Yi tossed the coin again and used stillness.
In order to keep the other Worldly God breaths from appearing, Shen Yi did not rely on fogging to move quickly anymore.
He relied on walking to move through the harbor, and every ten seconds he used his stillness power to allow the aura belonging to the Quiet Singer to explode.
“Yare, take the bait.”
