C690 Night Rise

With the current leading the way, the progress of the project was much faster than before. However, time passed even faster. It was already noon when Lin Bai and the rest returned from the General Street villa. It was not easy to arrange the overall layout of the Victory Tower according to Lin Bai's request in an afternoon.

However, such an extremely difficult task had actually been completed in just an afternoon! If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many things involved in this matter, the speed at which the house was being renovated could be recorded in the history of Chinese architecture. Even something like the Guinness World Record could be reported and given a try.

The setting sun was dim and dim. Under the illumination of the last few rays of yellow sunlight, the rudimentary Victory Tower was like a gigantic beast, silently lying there. It nodded in thanks to the people who were standing on the construction site and looking at the fruits of their hard work with gratification in their eyes.

The Obsidian Stone was covered with bronze Taotie markings, and these markings had undergone some modifications after Lin Bai and the sculptor had discussed it with him. The absorption capacity of each rune towards Yin Sha could be said to be several times stronger than before, and the markings also appeared to be increasingly simple and generous.

As for the green brick and black tiles, as well as the taunting wind that was lying on the eaves of the houses, all of them were exquisite to the extreme. Within this building, under every piece of limestone, were the pure Yang talismans carved by Chen Baian. These talismans resonated with each other and combined the entire building into one. No matter how many Yin Sha attacked, they could still be merged into one.

Although these things had already been prepared, to be able to combine them seamlessly in the afternoon without leaving the slightest trace could be said to be a miracle!

"Uncle Jiang, now is not the time to be delayed, hurry up and bring them to the city center's streets to watch." Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed to River Stream's side. "Remember, no matter what situation you meet, do not be afraid. Remember this – these things are all fake, they are all fake!"

Although Lin Bai did not explain himself, Jiang Liu had a rough understanding of the meaning behind his words. In addition, he also understood why Lin Bai wouldn't let anyone stay at the Victory Pavilion. After all, what happened next would definitely be incomparably strange, to the point where it would even overturn these people's usual understanding of life.

"Battalion Commander Wang, bring your brothers and go downtown with me!" We still have things to do there! " After Jiang Liu heard this, he nodded his head and waved towards the soldiers and the laborers who were resting on the ground. Then he said, "There are still the brothers who are with us. "After this is over, I'll set up a feast to treat everyone to wine!"

"Mayor Jiang, your words are too polite!" As a great mayor, it's our honor to be able to work with us! " The leader of the laborers snickered, then said to the laborers, "Brothers, let's go, follow Mayor Jiang into the city. When we're done, Mayor Jiang will treat the big guys to wine!"

As soon as his voice fell, these laborers and soldiers who were already exhausted as though they were nothing stood up and followed the river towards the outside of the worry lake. The reason why these people did not ask for a reason or fear of hard work was very simple. It was because the mayor treated them like brothers, like family, whether it was on the surface or in his words!

As soon as the crowd left the building site, the last hint of sunlight completely dissipated, as if everything had been covered up by a black cloth, leaving behind a dusky scene. For some reason, today's Jinling City was especially cold, while the usually beautiful neon lights gave off a desolate feeling tonight, causing people's hearts to turn cold.

"Elder Chen, Seniors, Brother Shen, let's not stay here any longer and prepare to start work!" The sky is already dark, there are still a few dozen Yang Qi left in the world right now, maybe we can still suppress the situation, but if the Yang Qi disappears at midnight, before we finish, Jinling City will be finished! " Seeing that the night was getting darker, Lin Bai clapped his hands and said in a low voice to the crowd.

They were very clear that the success or failure this time did not only affect Lin Bai's ability to break through the Nine Purple Rivers Peach Blossom Formation, nor did it affect the situation in Yan Jing. It also concerned the safety of the millions of citizens in the Jin'ling City, and it might even affect the entire Huaxia.

"..."

In Jinling City, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was not even the slightest bit of moonlight from the stars. Moreover, the bustling and bustling streets were no longer the same as before, only a sad and dismal scene, as if in the blink of an eye, this prosperous city had returned to that bloody night seventy years ago.

Although they did not know what had happened, not a single person within the city was willing to walk out of the door and wander the desolate streets like they used to. As for some of the elderly people, they were muttering non-stop at home. Fear flashed in their eyes from time to time, as if they were reminiscing about past events.

The group of engineers and laborers that followed River Stream into the city couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The previously bustling street was now devoid of people. Moreover, they felt waves of cold air invade their bodies from the ground they were standing on. This feeling made them feel a chill in their hearts.

"Mayor Jiang, something's not right here. How did the city become like this?" The head worker, who was right next to River Stream, couldn't help but wrap his arms around himself.

As soon as his voice fell, Battalion Commander Wang at the side couldn't help but open his mouth and say: "That's right, Mayor Jiang. Why is it that our Jinling City is so bustling with activity all of a sudden?"

How could such a situation happen? The city was under martial law today, and there were so many military police. Who would dare to casually walk on the street? Besides, the atmosphere on the street was quite lively, who would dare to walk on the street so casually?

Just as he was about to utter a few words of encouragement, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the other side of the street. Just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, a scream coming from the other side of the street suddenly rang out.

"Let's go and see what's going on!" Jiang Liu furrowed his brows, as he waved to the crowd, before leading the way.

Seeing that Jiang Liu was leading the way, the people beside him didn't dare to hesitate any longer. They followed closely behind the river and rushed towards the direction of the sound. Right now, the source of the voice was coming from a river bank. When the group of people arrived, they saw a white-robed girl with a pale complexion and disheveled hair standing by the river bank.

Seeing someone coming over, the girl who was originally standing there in a daze rushed over and hugged Jiang Liu tightly. With tears and tears in her nose, she wailed, "There's a ghost in the river …" There's a female ghost in the river, she was trying to catch me! "

"Ghost? Let go of our leader and I'll go see what is in the river! " The moment the girl finished, a youth from the factory stood out and smiled.

As he spoke, the youngster pulled the light from his waist and gently caressed the riverbank. As soon as he arrived at the river bank, he felt a gust of cold wind rush towards his face, then he looked at the dark river surface, as if there were countless things rolling about in the darkness. This strange feeling made him feel an uncontrollable urge to retreat, and he somewhat regretted his previous recklessness.

Although he wanted to retreat, he thought that if he went back now, people would see him as a coward. He clenched his teeth and shone his flashlight into the river. It didn't matter, but it almost scared his heart out of his throat!

How the f * ck was this river from before? Under the pale light of the flashlight, it was filled with a row of shadows, and their faces looked even more ferocious. He even felt that even though he had only taken a glance into the river and shifted his gaze over, the horrifying scene in the river was deeply engraved in his mind and he was unable to release it no matter how hard he tried.

"Mayor Jiang …" This... There really is a ghost in this river … " The young man's face became deathly pale as he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead after he finally moved his legs back to the side of the road.

When Jiang Liu heard this, he finally understood the meaning behind Lin Bai's words from before. Although he was bewildered, he still put on a candid expression and waved his hands, saying indifferently, "Let's go, there are no demons or monsters in this world. You must be seeing things. Let's send this girl back first!"

Although the young soldier was panicking in his heart, he still forced himself to follow the crowd as he saw the expression in Jiang Liu's eyes that did not allow for any rejection. However, he secretly made a decision in his heart: no matter what happens later, he will not be as reckless as he was just now, even if there was someone behind him holding a gun to his back, he would not take another step forward.

"..."

There was no sound of insects or birds, but there was a gust of cold wind. Moreover, the cold wind was mixed with countless screams, as if mocking Lin Bai and the others in the original location of the Victory Pavilion by the lake.
