Season Division

  Chapter 8 Blue Alert

  On the phone, Zhou Yanan's cold voice sounded a little anxious.

   I could vaguely hear gusts of wind whistling, as if I was on my way.

   "Captain Zhou, what are you..." Xu Henggang opened his mouth to ask.

   "Don't talk nonsense, run out if you don't want to die, what have you been doing all day, didn't you read the solar term pollution warning issued by the city?" Zhou Yanan directly interrupted Xu Heng's words, and angrily reprimanded on the phone.

  Xu Heng's expression changed instantly when he heard the words.

   "Damn it, the solar term pollution broke out in Darong City today?" He exclaimed, ignoring his rest, and rushed out the door.

   No wonder I always felt something was wrong just now. Although the old house is an old neighborhood, it is not so quiet outside at night. It may be that there is solar pollution, and everyone slipped out.

   "Hurry up, remember to run towards the inspection department, I'm on my way to pick you up, you..." Zhou Yanan's urging voice came again from the phone.

   It's just that the communication was suddenly disconnected before the words were finished, leaving only a rush of busy tone.

  Xu Heng couldn't help but stare, good guy, isn't that woman cold?

  But...how could she run to pick me up at the risk?

   Xu Heng suddenly raised his mind, but the speed of his feet did not weaken. He rushed out of the door and rushed directly to the inspection department.

   Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it’s solar term pollution, then it’s...

   Oh no, what am I panicking about?

  I've already built my qi level to the sixth level, so why should I panic?

   "Just one solar term pollution... eh? Blue warning? My mother..." Xu Heng suddenly accelerated.

  He took the time to glance at his phone just now, and in the evening, the Tiansi Branch of the city really issued a solar term pollution warning. The key is that they issued a blue warning.

   Solar term pollution is a common weather phenomenon, similar to hail and storms.

  When the various chaotic solar terms in the air are in balance, everything is well.

  But if one of the solar terms suddenly increases sharply and reaches a critical point, large-scale solar term pollution will break out, and depending on the type of solar terms, the disasters brought about by the pollution will also be different.

  For example, in Darong City, the most common pollution is Qingming solar term pollution, which will break out every few years.

  Xu Heng has never experienced it himself. After all, every time he received a warning, he ran away in advance. When the relevant departments finished dealing with the pollution, the city returned to calm.

   But he had also heard some rumors.

  Some people who survived the pollution said that during the Qingming Festival, they saw an old man who had passed away for many years coming back and knocking on the door.

   Someone said that they saw a few women dressed in very retro clothes, like the cheongsam of the previous era, waving to him on the side of the road and asking him, "Sir, are you here to play?"

  Some people also said that they heard the sound of gold and iron horses on the battlefield and the roar of fighting from the street.

  Some people even claimed to have seen the rumored Hyakki Yakari.

  …

  The Qingming solar term pollution experienced by these people is mostly a white warning, which belongs to the lowest level of warning.

   It is said that when encountering second-tier warriors and above, most of them can turn danger into fortune.

  But now, Tianjian Division actually issued a blue warning, which is one level higher than the white warning.

   Don’t dare to underestimate this!

  It is said that the person who claimed to have seen the night walk of the ghosts experienced the blue warning level of Qingming Festival pollution more than ten years ago.

   "Why have you been so unlucky recently? First, you were framed, and today, while I was practicing, I fell into a dream, and there was a blue warning of Qingming solar pollution?"

  Xu Heng was a little helpless, and called his senior sister while running, but still reminded the other party that the phone had been turned off.

   "Is there no accident?"

  He suddenly felt a little uneasy.

  With the character of the senior sister, if she knew that the solar term pollution broke out in the city, she would definitely put down everything at hand and come to pick him up desperately to be at ease.

  But now there is no news from the senior sister. Instead, Zhou Yanan said that she would come to pick him up.

   "Could it be that the senior sister asked her to come?" Xu Heng made a bold guess, and called Zhou Yanan back by the way, but there was still only a busy signal.

"kindness?"

   At this moment, Xu Heng suddenly slowed down his pace.

  He has already run through three streets in a row. He only needs to turn a corner at the intersection ahead and cross two and a half streets to reach the inspection department.

   But now, the intersection in front of him was shrouded in white mist.

  The fog is very thick and hazy, like a flood in a slow-motion lens, slowly rolling in.

   In a daze, Xu Heng caught a glimpse of a vague figure walking in the white mist.

  His face changed slightly immediately, and he stopped.

  The vague figure in the white mist also stopped suddenly.

  Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

  Through the white mist, I can gradually see the figure of the man. It seems to be a man, but he is wearing a blue gown, a hairpin, and his hair tied on top, just like an ancient costume.

   "No way, did I really hit a ghost?"

  Xu Heng felt that his teeth were clenched so hard that he didn't know when.

  Even though he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Xu Heng could still clearly feel that the man in ancient costume was looking at him.

"Jingle Bell…"

  Suddenly, the harsh ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence.

  Xu Heng was taken aback, and hastily took out his phone, but continued to stare at the figure in front of him.

   After blindly pressing the answer button, he directly held the phone to his ear.

   "Hiss... hiss, rustle..."

   Loud electrical noise coming from the phone, which seems to be affecting the signal.

  But soon, Zhou Yanan's anxious shouts came one after another.

   "Hey, Xu Heng... hear... Can you hear me? Don't run to... the inspection department, change the direction, run to..., do you hear me? Hey... beep beep..."

  The phone turns busy again in an instant.

  Xu Heng's mouth twitched slightly, very good, listening to Jun's words is like listening to a word.

  This is a broken signal, it’s not good to miss anything, but it just missed the key direction information.

"Huh?"

  Xu Heng was suddenly astonished.

  He noticed that the man in ancient costume in front of him seemed to be going backwards, and his figure gradually became more blurred, almost disappearing into the white mist.

   "No, he didn't move, it's the fog coming over!"

  Xu Heng came to his senses and was about to step back immediately.

  He could tell that something was wrong with the white mist. It seemed to contain a strong Qingming solar term, but it also gave people a dangerous intuition of chills down the spine, making people afraid to approach.

   Shua!

  At this moment, the man in ancient costume leaped forward, suddenly started running on the spot and rushed towards him.

   "Very good, you are so courageous. After waiting for you for a long time, you really dare to come and die."

  Xu Heng gave a loud shout.

   This time, he was not frightened, and the other party's move was expected.

  From the moment he saw the man in ancient costume, Xu Heng had already rehearsed countless times in his mind that the other party would suddenly rush over.

  Of course, Xu Heng's body turned around and ran away obediently, despite the harsh words on his lips.

  He fled, he chased, he couldn't fly!

"what's the situation?"

  Xu Hengcai just turned around and took a step, but suddenly stopped abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the front.

  Where is my way?

  What about the long and wide road when I first came here?

  Xu Heng was completely dumbfounded.

  In front of my eyes was a rough street paved with bluestone slabs, and there was a thin white mist in front of me, and there was no one there.

  The street was wet, and the faint moonlight fell from the sky, breaking into stars in the water stains.

  On both sides of the road, there are many shops and shops. You can vaguely see gray bricks and blue tiles, pavilions and cornices, like rows of ancient buildings.

  Not far away, on the signboards of shops, there are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, etc...

   "This...Where is this?"

  Xu Heng felt that his head was about to shut down, so he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

   Fortunately, it is not a small street in the ancient town, but still the familiar street near my old house.

  However, as the white mist surged in, the familiar streets were gradually being swallowed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  The man in ancient costume had already rushed to the edge of the white mist, heading straight for Xu Heng.

   "What are you doing, ouch..."

  Xu Heng's face was full of bitterness, there was really no way out, and it was hard to fly.

  He turned his head again to look at the small street in the ancient town behind him, and roughly guessed that this was the change brought about by the white fog.

  Wait for the white mist from the man in costume to come over and meet here, and the whole neighborhood will change.

  So, I can only run.

  Xu Heng made a decision immediately, activated his body shape again, and rushed directly to and fro.

  Although this road has become extremely strange, at least there is no...no weirdness!

   "Squeak!"

  However, when Xu Hengcai ran into this small street, the sound of an abrupt wooden door being pushed open broke the silence of the night.

   "No Trace!"

  Xu Heng didn't hesitate, he raised his hand and patted forward while running.

  The black light in the palm of the hand, flashed brightly in the night, and disappeared in a flash.

  Xu Hengzhi's Xiaohan solar terms spread throughout his body again, and the whole person was running, gradually fading away, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

   Only three seconds.

  Xu Heng appeared a few meters away, with his back against a low wall, and a wooden cart piled up with straw as a cover in front of him.

  He tried to slow down his breathing, and looked vigilantly at the place where the sound was made just now.

   It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, a chill runs down your spine and hits the back of your head in an instant.

  The door of a house on the right side of the street is completely open, and a figure is hanging on the beam of the door.

  The lanterns on both sides of the door had already been lit at some point. They were obviously white paper lanterns, but they were glowing blood-red.

  Between light and shadow, everything is visible.

  Xu Heng saw clearly the figure hanging on the beam of the door. It was an old woman with messy white hair, wearing a plain blue coarse cloth dress, her eyes were wide open, staring at her feet.

  At this time, an inexplicable gust of cold wind blew by, and the old woman's body slowly turned with the wind, and her eyes full of resentment and hatred just stared straight at Xu Heng.

   "Hiss..."

  Xu Heng gasped on the spot, his scalp numb.

  Exciting, so exciting!

  He didn't dare to bow his head, but the fingers hidden under his body were frantically typing on his phone, sending messages to his senior sister.

  —"Senior sister, save me, save me, save me".

"when!"

  Suddenly, a clear and deafening gong sounded.

  Xu Heng was shocked again.

   Just before he could react, the houses on both sides of the street that were supposed to be dark were suddenly lit with candlelight.

   Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

  Amidst a series of door pushes, the wooden doors of each room opened.

  People in ancient costumes with long hair came out with joyful faces.

"congratulations!"

   "The Situ family's big day, I'm here to congratulate you."

   "If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, he will die well. Situ's family has added a door god. Congratulations!"

   "Congratulations to Situ's family!"

  Many neighbors, men, women and children came out one after another to congratulate Situ's mansion where the old woman's body was located.

  In Situ's mansion, the master's family also walked out slowly, with tears streaming down their faces, but with a stiff and festive smile on their faces.

  They ignored the old woman hanging on the door beam, thanked everyone with their hands together, and warmly welcomed the guests into the mansion.

   "It's a long way to go, I almost arrived late, Master Situ forgive me."

  At this time, there was another person who came late from not far away and walked into Situ's mansion with a smile on his face. It was the man in ancient costume that Xu Heng saw first.

  Obviously, with the arrival of that person, it also means that this block has been completely shrouded in white mist.

  Xu Heng hid in the corner, witnessed the whole weird scene, his expression had already froze, but he wanted to swear in his heart.

  Especially for the man in costume just now!

  Yah, you ran so fast, you thought you were coming for me, but you were afraid of being late for the dinner?

  Xu Heng twitched his stiff cheeks, then looked down at his phone again.

   Great, shut down early.

  The fierce blind typing call for help that I was about to send to my senior sister just now was all for nothing.

  …
