Chapter 598 Infinite Fantasy
At this time, the system sound sounded.
"Daily Task: Resolve the Maple Leaf Gardens incident."
"Reward: One draw in ten consecutive rounds, one million skill points."
"Wow, it's still a big job."
Chen Yile complained.
Maple Leaf Garden is an old community with only a few dilapidated street lamps emitting dim light.
The night wind carried an inexplicable chill, whispering as it passed through the buildings.
Looking at the densely packed old buildings in front of her, Lin Qingyao frowned slightly, looking a little confused: "With so many buildings, where should we go to find Xiaoli?"
"Xiao Li did mention during the live broadcast that she lives on the 7th floor of Unit 1, Building 6. As long as we find Building 7, we can find her."
Chen Yile looked around and his eyes fell on the security booth at the entrance of the community.
"Let's go ask the security guard. He must know where Building 7 is."
Chen Yile suggested.
The two men came to the security room and saw a uniformed security guard sleeping on a recliner, snoring loudly.
"Brother, wake up, I want to ask you something."
Chen Yile woke up the security guard and asked him.
The security guard was called up and seemed to be in a bad mood. He pointed impatiently and said, "Here, go this way. Turn left and you'll find the second building."
"thank you."
After Chen Yile expressed his gratitude, he and Lin Qingyao rushed in the direction the security guard indicated.
When they arrived in front of the building, they found it dead silent, without even a lighted window.
Normally, even if it was late, there would always be lights on in so many households. The two of them immediately felt something was wrong.
"It's so quiet here, I hope we're not in the wrong place."
There was a hint of doubt in Lin Qingyao's voice.
Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao exchanged a glance, shook their heads slightly, and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Let's go up and take a look."
"it is good."
The community is old and there is no elevator. The two walked into the corridor and started climbing the stairs.
I don’t know if the lights in the corridor have been in disrepair for a long time, but none of them are on.
Fortunately, there was a faint moonlight coming through the window, so I could see the road.
The two were eager to save people and couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Their footsteps echoed back in the corridor, and in the quiet of the night, the footsteps seemed particularly clear.
After a moment, Chen Yile, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"what's wrong?"
"Qingyao, do you feel that something is wrong?"
"Something wrong? Well, no."
"Qingyao, do you remember how many floors we have climbed?"
Lin Qingyao thought for a moment and discovered the clue.
The building has only six floors at its highest.
But why did the two of them climb up seven floors?
They came to a floor that wasn't supposed to exist!
"It seems we are in trouble."
Chen Yile's eyes became sharp. He looked around vigilantly, trying to detect changes in the surrounding environment.
But apart from the sound of the wind and the occasional barking of dogs, there was nothing unusual around.
Everything seemed normal, but Chen Yile knew that this place was not as simple as it seemed.
There was no way they could climb to the non-existent "seventh floor".
"Is it a cover-up?"
Chen Yile quickly took out a few barrier-breaking talismans, activated his spiritual power, and tried to use the power of the barrier-breaking talismans to dispel the strange aura here.
This is an advanced talisman made according to the book given by the system, specifically used to break the common illusions of evil spirits.
With a faint light, the talisman burned out in the air, but the scene before him did not change at all.
"I don't know if it worked, Qingyao, let's go downstairs and try to see if we can get out of this illusion."
The two walked down a little further, but the same thing happened again.
Chen Yile took Lin Qingyao down seven floors, but still did not reach the bottom floor.
In the corridor, the stairs still extended downwards, hidden in the deep darkness.
Chen Yile didn't believe it, so the two of them continued to walk down two more floors, but still couldn't see the bottom.
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Qingyao's voice was filled with anxiety.
The two seemed to have entered an infinite looping space.
The audience watching all this in the live broadcast room also launched barrage comments.
"What's going on? Is this a ghost?"
"Brother Yile and Sister Qingyao, you must pay attention to safety."
Seeing that the barrier-breaking talisman could not break the illusion, Chen Yile used his spiritual eye skill.
With his spiritual eyes, he did see something unusual.
The entire corridor was filled with a green mist, and the walls were mottled and twisted.
But apart from these, there was no exit.
Even with his spiritual vision, he still only saw endless stairs going up and down.
Chen Yile couldn't understand what kind of evil spirit this was. It didn't attack people, but made them fall into an illusion and unable to move.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered the rare item he had received in the gift pack before - the Diamond Ring.
"Remember the system said that this diamond ring has the ability to break the power of ghosts and evil spirits."
He quickly entered the system and took out the Vajra Ring.
"System, I need to break the illusion we are in and return to the real world."
"Received, will be executed soon."
In an instant, a powerful force surged out from the Vajra Circle, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble.
After a period of fluctuation, the surrounding scenery seemed unchanged, but Chen Yile could clearly feel that something was different.
He used his spiritual eyes and no longer saw the thick fog and twisted walls.
"Success!"
Chen Yile took Lin Qingyao downstairs. After walking three floors, they arrived at the bottom floor.
But when he arrived at the entrance of the corridor, Chen Yile saw something that was not in line with common sense.
Above the corridor door, it was clearly written "Building 19"!
"This isn't Building 7 at all!"
"There's something wrong with that security guard! We have to find him quickly!"
Chen Yile felt like he was being fooled and said with a hint of anger.
"Yile, saving people is the most important thing. Let's split up."
Seeing that Chen Yile was angry, Lin Qingyao spoke.
"You continue to rescue Xiaoli. I'll go see what's wrong with the security guard."
Seeing Lin Qingyao being so considerate, Chen Yile said with some concern: "Qingyao, is this okay?"
"Don't worry, don't underestimate me."
Lin Qingyao deliberately released some demonic energy, and her whole body suddenly became murderous, just like a witch with hundreds of years of experience.
"Wow, you've become so proficient in controlling your demonic energy now!"
Chen Yile said in surprise.
This also made Chen Yile feel relieved. Based on Lin Qingyao's strength, ordinary evil spirits would not be able to do anything to her.
"Okay, then we'll split up."
Seeing Lin Qingyao leaving towards the security room, Chen Yile also turned around and left.
They didn't notice that at the entrance of the corridor, a small spirit quietly walked out and disappeared into the darkness.
"Since the people here are not trustworthy, I will find it myself!"
Chen Yile searched quickly. He was now in Building 19, so he should go in the direction where the numbers were getting smaller. It should be right!
On the other side, Lin Qingyao left Chen Yile and went to the security room at the gate of the community.
She arrived at the security room and saw that there was no one inside.
Suddenly, Lin Qingyao felt something unusual happening behind her.
She immediately turned around, releasing her demonic energy and entering witch form.
But the next second, her eyes lost their luster and she stood there in a daze.
