Chapter 6 Old Wang's Family
Outside Old Wang's house.
Chi Le raised his hand and knocked on the door for the third time.
The result was the same: silence behind the door, and no one answered.
Chi Le's heart sank lower and lower with each knock on the door and the quiet wait.
Old Wang is probably really in trouble.
"Who are you?"
Chi Le turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman standing at the top of the stairs, carrying a basket of vegetables, dressed casually and comfortably, with a kind face. She looked Chi Le up and down and asked in confusion.
After a brief conversation, Chi Le learned that the middle-aged woman's name was Huang Cui, and she was the landlord of the house that Lao Wang had rented.
After seeing the photos and chat logs that Chi Le presented to prove her relationship with Lao Wang, I realized...
Huang Cui nodded.
"Okay, I'll open the door for you."
"Oh, by the way, I haven't been able to contact Xiao Wang these past few days. Could you please tell him for me?"
"The water company will be inspecting the water pipes for the next couple of days, and the water will be shut off for a while at night. Please make sure to connect to the water supply in advance."
Chi Yue placed his hand on the doorknob and replied almost reflexively.
"Ah, okay."
He had no interest in paying attention to Huang Cui's mundane reminders.
What water outage for maintenance? What pre-connection of water?
Chi Le has only one purpose.
Determine Lao Wang's situation.
Pushing open the door, a stuffy, dusty odor, caused by prolonged lack of ventilation, hits you.
All the tables and chairs in sight were covered with a thin layer of dust.
This proves that no one has been in the house for many days.
"call……"
Having already suspected something and prepared himself mentally, Chi Le let out a sigh of relief and began checking if Old Wang had left anything behind.
Since Old Wang was willing to tell Yu Xun about his time travel experience.
Perhaps he left something behind.
Old Wang's rented apartment was small and simply furnished, with hardly any furniture.
Before long, Chi Le found a few pieces of paper that looked fairly clean on the dusty table.
Most of the content recorded on the paper was covered by messy lines, making it almost impossible to read. Only a few messy phrases remained on the paper.
"...Strange...Monster...Heliu Town...Twisting off a monster's head with one hand...Why me...Damn it..."
Chi Le tried hard to decipher the legible handwriting on the paper.
The beginning was fine, pretty much what Yu Xun told him.
Thick fog, monsters in the fog.
But as Chi Le continued to look down, her gaze suddenly froze.
"Heliu Town".
He had heard of this place name not long ago.
Moreover, just last night, Chi Le had learned this from Chen Hao, a native of the bizarre world.
According to Chen Hao, Changxi Village is under the jurisdiction of Heliu Town.
"It seems that Old Wang has indeed fallen into a bizarre world."
"Could it be that his first visit to this strange world led him to Convergence Town?"
"And, twisting off a monster's head with one hand?"
"A demon or monster had its head twisted off with one hand?"
"Is this referring to someone with extraordinary powers, like a temple keeper?"
"So, Old Wang first came to the mysterious town of Heliu in the strange world, and witnessed the natives displaying extraordinary powers before his eyes?"
Chi Le tried to piece together the fragmented, residual information.
I have a general understanding of Lao Wang's experiences in this strange world.
This is good news for Chi Le.
Extraordinary powers do exist in this strange world, and they are very close to us.
After all, Changxi Village is located at the foot of Qingshan Temple.
As a village under the jurisdiction of Heliu Town, Changxi Village is not far from Heliu Town.
Upon seeing the last two paragraphs of information, Chi Le sighed.
He flipped the paper back and forth in his hands, making sure there was no more information.
Chi Le put it back in its original place, turned around and walked out of the room.
On her way down the stairs, Chi Le encountered two tall men.
The narrow staircase was completely blocked by the two people, one in front and one behind.
Chi Le stood on the stair landing and politely let them pass.
The two men nodded their thanks to Chi Le and then continued walking uphill.
Chi Le glanced at the two people's backs.
"Did they also enter the bizarre world?"
Chi Le's feelings told him the answer.
The chilling, decaying, and eerie aura emanating from the two men, unique to this strange world, does not lie.
"Sure enough, it wasn't just me and Lao Wang; many other people have also entered the bizarre world."
Abandoning her deep thoughts, Chi Le went downstairs and headed towards home.
The journey home wasn't short, but Chi Le didn't choose to take the bus like she had come; instead, she walked back.
I've been walking and stopping frequently, and it's been far too long since I've exercised.
This walk was nothing short of torture for him.
Chi Le eventually chose to sit on a bench in a riverside park to rest.
Early morning had just passed, and the sweltering midday heat was still far off; the park remained cool and refreshing.
It was a holiday, and the park was quite crowded.
On the grass, many families sat picnicking, and many children ran around, their laughter and shouts creating a joyful atmosphere.
In the square, the middle-aged women started their morning exercise early, meticulously learning the dance moves of the leader, all in order to beat the middle-aged women across the street in tonight's square dance.
The real heavyweight was the old man by the river wearing only swimming trunks.
Since a diving event became popular in a certain place.
The old men in his small town were not to be outdone; they honed their diving skills by the quietly flowing river.
thump.
An old man jumped into the water in a "perfect" pose. Although the splash was as high as two stories, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the onlookers.
The applause was deafening, and the cheers were loud.
Even Chi Le couldn't help but clappe a few times.
Peaceful, tranquil, serene.
This alleviated his depressed mood after leaving Old Wang's house quite a bit.
"Ignorance is bliss."
Chi Le sighed softly.
Seeing the situation at Old Wang's house, he guessed what had happened to Old Wang.
Chi Le truly experienced the dangers of this bizarre world.
If I hadn't owned the Green Mountain Temple, I would never have been able to so easily defeat the evil spirits and demons; otherwise, my fate might have been similar to Old Wang's.
They disappeared from this world without a sound.
But if we had a choice now.
Chi Le can erase all memories related to the bizarre world, in exchange for remaining ignorant and never falling into it again.
Chi Le will choose to continue into the bizarre world.
He has inherited the Green Mountain Temple and possesses the ability to confront evil spirits, demons, and strange monsters.
Right now, Chi Le has no option to back down or run away.
What kind of strange existence is this? Watch out, or I'll have the old earth god take his cane and smash your skull open!
"Since there's the Green Mountain Temple, and this strange world contains extraordinary powers, wouldn't it be a shame not to give it a try?"
Moreover, Qingshan Temple is currently under renovation.
Some of the functions that were missing due to the original damage to the Taoist temple will definitely be restored.
At that time, I will have more confidence in this strange world, and I will be able to explore and understand this world more safely and conveniently.
"Being ordinary and unremarkable is good. I hope the world can always remain this peaceful and tranquil."
While going down the stairs, I happened to run into two men who had also fallen into a bizarre world.
Chi Le knew that he would never be the first person to enter the bizarre world.
In other words, the bizarre world has already entangled many people, dragging them away from the peace of the real world.
Not everyone has a Qingshan Temple like Chi Le.
When ordinary people fall into a bizarre world, they are more likely to disappear like Old Wang.
These ordinary days, free from danger, are incredibly precious.
Another old man fell into the water in a bizarre manner, putting on quite a show, drawing cheers from the audience and providing plenty of emotional support.
Chi Le smiled and clapped enthusiastically.
Before him, a panel appeared that was visible only to him.
A long string of numbers kept jumping around.
