Chapter 131 Crossing the Dark River of the City

Chapter 131 The Underground River Crossing the City

Chen Yan saw the street corner he had visited in his dream, and even the graffiti on the wall was very clear.

He stood on the street, looking down along the graffiti on the wall, and saw the sewer opening that was opened from bottom to top at the corner of the wall——

Even the shape of the damaged steel bars at the sewer entrance was exactly the same as in the dream.

Ogami stood behind Chen Yan without saying a word, his eyes wandering between the corner buildings, his hands in his pockets - he did not bring a knife today.

It was close to 10 o'clock in the morning, and the workers living in the corner buildings had already gone to work. The entire Xiacheng District had become half a ghost town, with almost no human sounds.

"We have almost reached the location of Dirty Street." Ogami suddenly said, "The last time I passed by here, Liang Ansheng hinted to me that if I wanted to solve my physiological needs, he could help introduce me."

Chen Yan asked curiously: "The last time you passed by here was when you first came to the empire, right?"

Ogami nodded: "Yes, we came from the lake."

Chen Yan was a little surprised and said: "Come from Smokey Lake? No... I mean, did you enter the empire from other countries? Didn't you come from the sea?"

Chen Yan had such doubts because Ogami's description was too unbelievable.

The Smokey Lake is at the eastern end of Yanan City, and the sea is at the western end of Yanan City - the entire Yanan City is separated between the sea and the Smokey Lake.

Further east of Smokey Lake is a huge and boundless continent.

If Ogami entered Yanam City from Smokey Lake, then he is more likely to come from other countries deep in the continent, rather than being separated from Smokey Lake by the entire city of Yanam.

Ogami denied his statement: "No, we came from the sea. The empire's coastline stretches to the end of the world, and there are too many places to land."

He raised his head, looked at the small patch of sky surrounded by many corner buildings, and said: "After landing on the coastline, we were blindfolded and walked for a long time... until we boarded a ship."

Chen Yan repeated: "A ship."

Ogami's eyes showed reminiscence: "Yes, a boat, a very small boat. There were five of us, and we kept drifting on the boat."

Chen Yan restrained his curiosity. He didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, let alone sneaking into the country.

Ogami didn't care. Since this topic came up, he simply finished the matter.

"Although I was blindfolded, my sense of smell and hearing were still there. I felt that we should have entered a cave - there was a very calm and peaceful underground river in the cave."

Ogami paused here, and then added: "An underground river as silent as death."

"Lord Landlord, you may not understand what [death] feels like, but I understand it, and I feel it deeply."

"The feeling of the underground river is exactly the same as the feeling of [death]."

"After we passed through the underground river and entered another part of the water, the silence disappeared and the black cloth used to blindfold the eyes was removed."

"I saw an endless lake."

"Liang Ansheng told me that there is Smokey Lake."

Chen Yan suddenly realized: "It means that it is an underground river that runs through the entire underground watershed of Yanan City."

Ogami did not nod, but showed an indifferent expression, as if the mystery hidden in that experience had no appeal to him: "Maybe."

Seeing that he didn't care about discussing this matter at all, Chen Yan felt less scrupulous about speaking.

"I feel there must be something wrong with the waterway you mentioned, because basically no one knows that there is an underground river in Yanan City. People only know that Yanan City has a huge sewer system - the one you set up a boat to pass through will not be

The sewers in Yanan City, right?”

Ogami spread his hands: "I forgot if I smelled the smell at that time. I don't know. Whatever, I got here safely anyway."

Chen Yan: "...there is also a problem with Third Uncle's behavior. He can bring people from Smokey Lake to Yanan City. Doesn't it mean that he has colluded with the pirates in Smokey Lake?"

Ogami shrugged: "Maybe, who knows, anyway, I chopped him with a knife... If he appears in front of me alive, I will chop him again."

Chen Yan felt suffocated by Ogami's indifferent attitude: "I feel something is wrong... Do you remember what the other three people traveling with you look like?"

Ogami rolled her eyes to the sky: "Who can remember this? Anyway, they have one nose and two eyes. There is not much difference."

Chen Yan: "..."

Ogami looked at Chen Yan's constipated expression and asked in a concerned tone: "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yan finally sighed out the pent-up feeling in his chest: "It's okay..."

Ogami's description of the trip was not clear. Chen Yan realized that it was not that he did not want to describe it clearly, but that he had not thought about his origin at all——

Who controls that weird entry road?

How did Uncle San know that road?

What about the underground watershed in Yanam City?

Is the strange, deathly silence in the underground water a normal natural phenomenon, or an extraordinary supernatural phenomenon?

Ogami obviously didn't care about these issues, which made Chen Yan understand another thing - Ogami was indeed as told by the extraordinary people in Yanan City. Although he possessed unimaginable force, he did not have any other aspects.

Not special - even a little slow!

Chen Yan was very curious about the path Ogami took when he arrived, but now was not the time to talk about it in detail.

While the two were chatting for a few words, they had already reached the end of Chen Yan's dream last night - the corner building where the two children entered in the dream.

Walking up the steps that are extremely familiar yet completely unfamiliar, it feels wonderful, like a reappearance of the environment in a dream, giving people an inexplicable and absurd feeling.

Chen Yan and Ogami walked up to the third floor and came to the door of the seventh room on the right.

Chen Yan glanced at Ogami, who had her hands on her chest and a calm expression on her face, and felt a lot of security.

Then he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang..."

The low knock on the door echoed in the corridor on the third floor of the corner building, penetrating like the dead silence in the air.

A response quickly came from the door.

"who is it!"

It was an old voice that could not tell the difference between male and female!

Chen Yan's bad premonition deepened, and he said the words he had thought of on the way here:

"We are the staff responsible for distributing relief items in church schools to provide daily necessities."

Green said that the church school would regularly organize personnel to provide relief to the poor in the lower city. This identity was the least likely to arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, there was the sound of slightly staggering footsteps inside the door.

Before the door was opened, the safety hole on the door was opened first.

A pair of dim, alert and hostile eyes appeared behind the safety hole.
