Chapter 193 Return

To ease the widespread panic among the people.

Shanqing City held a large celebration the day after the One Hundred Demons Night Parade incident ended.

Major shopping malls and popular attractions announced celebration activities with exaggerated discounts. The official government of Shanqing City also spent a lot of money on publicity in the city, just to stir up the cheerful atmosphere and divert the attention of the people.

Gorgeous celebration buses, star singing and dancing all day long, and airships parading around the city.

The crowd moved along the main roads of the city, laughing and talking constantly.

At the same time, Yu Ke took a luxury private plane specially prepared for him by Shanqing City and looked down at everything from a high altitude.

He did not retract his sight until the lively street scene was covered by clouds and fell into the soft sofa behind him.

"Why don't you stay a few more days? You are the key figure in this operation and the real protagonist of the celebration."

The stewardess, wearing a blue and white cheongsam, with her hair tied up in a bun and fixed with a pearl hairpin, walked to Yu Ke and squatted, showing off her beautiful figure. She turned on the holographic projection on the table, looked at the latter and asked softly.

She knew the identity of the man in front of her, and she knew that as long as she could get his favor, the peak of her life was just around the corner.

There must be a reason to solve the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident, and Shanqing City needs a hero.

The original first choice was Yu Ke. As a special consultant to the Disaster Prevention Bureau and a "big internet celebrity" with many admirers nowadays, it would be perfect for him to become a hero. However, this proposal was rejected by Yu Ke without hesitation.

On the one hand, the seeds of disaster in his body did not allow him to waste time in Shanqing City, and returning to Jinghu Forest as soon as possible was the real business.

On the other hand, Yu Ke was not very interested in the title of hero. It meant endless exposure and the nitpicking expectations of most people, and he hoped to have his own life.

"There are still tasks waiting for me to solve in Jinghang City, so how can I enjoy myself?"

The stewardess is indeed very beautiful, but Yu Ke, who is carrying the seeds of disaster, really has no intention to care about it. He casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and his eyes stayed on the message sent by An Saili on the mobile phone screen.

An Saili called the night before yesterday to inform Yu Ke of the sudden incident of fog in the mountains.

Considering that this sudden fog may be related to the ruins and the bronze tripod, Yu Ke contacted An Saili during his rest last night to learn more about the situation, but was told that the fog had dissipated.

It's not that this incident was solved smoothly.

In fact, the fog dissipated suddenly, and the Disaster Prevention Bureau is still investigating the cause.

Because the specific situation could not be explained clearly on the phone, the two agreed to meet at the transfer station. Yu Ke would take a car to Jinghu Forest at that time, so it was just right for An Saili to give him a ride.

After the flight attendant left, Yu Ke took out the bronze mask he got from the Strange Shelter from the imprint space.

Information about it and various test data have been sent to Yu Ke's mobile phone.

No. 077 - Bronze Mask.

Its extraordinary ability is not that strong. After the test of the Strange Shelter, it only allows the wearer to have the ability to see dark ghosts. In the past, it has been used to deal with some supernatural events involving spirits.

Even this requires sacrifices to activate.

In simple terms, after the holder wears the bronze mask and uses its ability, he must offer the soul of a creature. The longer it is used, the greater the demand for such sacrifices. It is indeed a case of not having a small ability but a big appetite.

Looking back and forth at the bronze mask, Yu Ke naturally did not choose it for its shabby ability. What really made Yu Ke care was that this bronze mask was too similar to the red ghost mask he saw in Ye Yingtong's mobile phone.

It's just that the latter is red, while it is blue-gray, and the surface is full of fine cracks.

Yu Ke knew the ability of the Red Ghost Mask. There was an extremely powerful ghost hidden inside the mask, which could affect the holder's mind and give him extraordinary abilities.

Through the observation of the Bronze Ghost Mask with the characteristics of checking for omissions and filling in gaps, Yu Ke confirmed that the similarity between the two masks was not a coincidence!

Qingming Mask: A bronze mask that once hosted a terrifying ghost. Due to damage, the ghost escaped and its ability was greatly reduced.

Obviously, the bronze mask obtained by the Strange Shelter was damaged and degraded.

Because of this, the ability of the Qingming Mask was greatly reduced, and a price had to be paid after using it.

As for why Yu Ke chose it as one of his rewards even though he knew it was a broken version, there was naturally a reason.

Shanqing City Strange Shelter did not know the true value of the Qingming Mask, so it was used as an ordinary supernatural item. Since Yu Ke accidentally discovered this, he must not let this "pearl" be covered in dust.

Don't forget, there is a strange object in the Jinghang City Strange Shelter that is specifically used to repair items!

'No. 098 - Greedy Claw Hammer, it is dormant most of the time, and when it wakes up, it will devour a large amount of nearby ore, and then transform into a Claw Hammer after reaching a certain limit. By hitting a non-living object with a volume of no more than three cubic meters, it will inject energy into it, allowing it to be repaired and strengthened while randomly acquiring certain characteristics. '

When the Leviathan Axe was damaged in the battle, Yu Ke used it to repair and strengthen it, and finally made the Leviathan Axe gain the amplification effect. I think the Qingming Mask should also be within the scope of its repair.

With Yu Ke's performance in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, it is not difficult to borrow this strange containment object.

Of course, just a mask is not worth Yu Ke's trouble.

Frankly speaking, even if this Qingming Mask is repaired, it is difficult to restore its original ability, because the soul inside has already escaped when the seal is broken.

This is what Yu Ke is looking at!

For others, the Qingming Mask is nothing but a tasteless chicken rib, but Yu Ke has something in his hand!

After killing the dragon-headed zombie in the underground palace of the temple, the forest spirit stripped two things from its body.

One is the blood of the dragon, and the other is the resentful soul of the dragon-headed zombie.

The former helped Yu Ke activate the Blood Dragon Transformation, becoming his most important battle trump card now, but the latter has never been used.

If it weren't for the bead made of fear energy given by the Dream Tapir, Yu Ke might have forgotten it and kept it in the imprint space to collect dust.

Highly concentrated fear emotions, the resentful soul of the dragon-headed zombie.

These two things look like things with quite compatible negative energy attributes, and they may resonate with the Qingming Mask.

With the idea of ​​making the best use of everything.

Yu Ke naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him.

Anyway, it's not a loss to give it a try, what if they can get together?

He took out his mobile phone to take a few photos of the mask, and sent them to Ye Yingtong, asking her to help check whether there is any connection between the Qingming Mask and the Red Ghost Mask.

As a result, he waited for a long time but didn't get a reply.

It seems that he should still be working in the ruins of the mountains.

Taking a sip of the drink beside him, Yu Ke rubbed his brows, stretched his upper body and adjusted the back of his chair. The actions of the past few days and the experience in the dream space made him physically and mentally exhausted. Just sleeping in the hotel for one night was not enough for him to fully recover.

Mirror Lake Forest is the place that is truly suitable for Yu Ke to cultivate.

Whether it is the Heart of the Wilderness or the Forest Spirit Mark, it needs to be in the forest to play a role.

Noticing Yu Ke's situation, the flight attendant hurriedly brought a blanket and played melodious music in the cabin.

Yu Ke was the only passenger on the whole plane, and everyone was serving him.

In this era of catastrophe, this kind of treatment is rare. Yu Ke is now enjoying a standard that is actually no less than that of the top officials in Shanqing City. There are even fighter jets escorting him outside to report the airspace situation at any time for fear of accidents.

It was already afternoon when he returned to Jinghang City.

The weather was bad, and it happened to be a rain and snow covering the entire Jinghang area.

Yu Ke had lunch on the plane. After landing, he ignored the request from the Disaster Prevention Bureau that he explain the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. He went straight to the high-speed rail station and took the train to the transfer station.

At this time, nearly thirteen hours had passed since the night tapir helped suppress the seeds of disaster last night.

As time went by, Yu Ke could clearly feel that the seeds of disaster in his body began to stir again, and the suppression effect was constantly weakened under its impact, which undoubtedly aroused his vigilance.

Only a small part of the will of the forest spirit remained in the mark, and its main body was still deep in the Mirror Lake Forest.

Yu Ke had to speed up and try to let the forest spirit replace the dream tapir to further suppress the seeds of disaster while his own state was still normal.

Fortunately, the forest spirit was quite confident after checking Yu Ke's situation.

Killing "Yang", one of the core members of the Pure Lotus Road, allowed the forest spirit to regain some of its power. As long as it was in the Mirror Lake Forest, the forest spirit had enough energy to maintain the suppression of the seeds of disaster.

Yu Ke and Ansai Li met in the lobby when they arrived at the transfer station in the rain and snow.

Because the combat uniform made of dragon skin was damaged in the dream space, Yu Ke still wore the black down jacket, but Ansai Li looked like she had dressed up, and she was still bright and beautiful even in this gloomy sky.

It had only been a few days, and the two had nothing to say to each other. After a simple greeting, Yu Ke asked the latter to drive him to Jinghu Forest.

"You've been on the road all day, aren't you going to take a break?"

An Saili was surprised to see Yu Ke leaving as soon as they met, thinking that the latter wanted to go back to the camp to check the progress.

"In this kind of weather, the efficiency of the construction team of the camp must be low, and you can't help much even if you go there."

"I'm not going to the camp, I have other important things to do. Anyway, take me there, and we'll talk on the way."

Yu Ke couldn't explain his current situation to An Saili, so he could only wave his hand to signal the latter to catch up.

Out of trust in Yu Ke, An Saili didn't ask any more questions and took him directly to the parking lot.

Five minutes later, the off-road vehicle drove away from the No. 3 transfer station and plunged into the periphery of Jinghu Forest.

Compared with the transfer station, the scale of rain and snow in Jinghu Forest was obviously larger.

Wind and rain mixed with ice and snow hit the windshield and the windows on both sides, making crackling sounds. It was even more foggy outside the window. Only the dense jungle on both sides of the road could be seen extending into the distance until it turned into a blurred shadow.

Ansai Li, who was driving the off-road vehicle, had to adjust the brightness of the headlights and turn on the red and blue warning lights on the top, saying,

"The heat of the underground cave secret realm has not passed. This road has never been so busy since it was built. In the past two days alone, several traffic accidents have occurred. The nearby forest rangers complained that they were about to become traffic police."

The beam of light projected by the headlights penetrated the rain and snow, illuminating the forest road ahead, as if to verify Ansai Li's words. There was an off-road vehicle coming towards them. Fortunately, the red and blue lights were hung in advance, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

"You can't blame me for this. It's inevitable that a place like the Cave Secret Realm will attract hunting groups. It's better to have some traffic accidents than to have those monsters in the cave running around. The trouble level is not the same level."

Yu Ke leaned against the seat. While talking, he caught a glimpse of the lipstick in the bottom compartment of the co-pilot door. He was stunned for a moment, took it out and shook it at An Saili, and asked in a rather mischievous tone,

"You pay attention to your image?"

"Well, this is left by my friend. She was in a hurry to meet a friend just now and touched up her makeup in the car. You know, women are so troublesome."

"Aren't you a woman too?"

"Don't worry about these little things. Here, this is the information about the mountain fog incident that the Disaster Prevention Bureau has recently collected. Open it first and tell me if you find anything."

Controlling the steering wheel with one hand, An Saili opened the file stored on his mobile phone at a very fast speed and threw it to Yu Ke, changing the subject in an extremely stiff tone, and said without looking back.

"Tsk, what do you think of me? I'm not a task robot. I need to rest, too. I was just a bystander in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. I didn't get involved and almost got myself involved. I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."

There were only two of them here. Yu Ke's trust in Ansai Li made him not have too many scruples. He rolled his eyes and kept mumbling in his mouth, complaining,

"You are really a group of vampires, capitalists. Don't come to me for something important in the next period of time. I want to recuperate in the Mirror Lake Forest. Also, I want to use the strange containment that I used to repair the Leviathan Axe again. If you dare to refuse, don't blame me for dawdling in the future."

Puff~

Yu ​​Ke was complaining when he heard a muffled laugh from the side.

Turning around, she saw Ansai Li with curved eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. Such a funny look made Yu Ke put on a disgusted expression and said,

"Hey, let's talk about serious things!"

"Haha, if the senior officials of the Disaster Prevention Bureau knew that the hero in their eyes was actually plotting against them behind their backs, who knows what kind of expression they would show on their faces."

Recently, Ansai Li always secretly thanked herself for choosing to rush into the cave without hesitation that day.

Otherwise, what she would see now would still be the serious and indifferent ranger hunter, instead of a young man who couldn't stop mumbling and was full of resentment.
