The whole car leaned forward, and the already nervous executors secretly uttered a few words about the national treasures, poked their heads out in the front row and asked, "What's going on? This is?"

"It seems like a car accident was blocked in front of me." Yue Kun in the driver's seat honked twice, opened the window helplessly and looked out. He happened to see several policemen carrying a red-faced person by the car, as if they were going to send him to deal with it.

"Come on, let's be happy today, let's have a little more..." The man who was being held was still dancing with a drunken smile on his face, "I'm having a holiday, let's fight with us for another 300 rounds..."

He jumped and shouted as if no one was around. The police on both sides held him helplessly and happened to pass by the car. The executor in the car poked his head out of the window and asked the policeman who was carrying people: "Have you been drunk and hit me?"

"Really speaking, it should be..." the police chief sighed, "but he was asked to blow the alcohol detector just now, and the indicators were within the normal range... In this case, we cannot bring people back to the bureau, so we can only wait for the traffic management bureau to deal with it first."

"Normal?" The executor frowned and pointed to the person with a drunken smile. "This behavior...isn't alcohol exceeding the standard?"

"We have changed several detectors, and they all show normal, so we can't tell him that he is drunk." The police spread his hands.

"Then we have to deal with it first. It's not a problem to be blocked?"

"Have the drug reaction been tested?"

"What do you say with your companion?"

“…”

The group of people in the car were nervous. When they encountered such a thing, they all spoke out. Amid the chattering sound, Han Jiangchen in the back row also opened the window, locking his eyes on the man who was being held by the police, and his pupils shrank slightly.

At this time, this man was only a few meters away from him, so he "sees" a trace of abnormal aura from that man.

The breath was faint, but it gave him a very familiar feeling... He secretly released his spiritual sense and locked it on the man, feeling it carefully while recalling it, and then his eyes suddenly changed.

That’s right, he has indeed been exposed to similar auras before. The person with similar performance is... Shangguan Yuning!

During the semester of the school, he met Shangguan Yuning almost every day, and was very familiar with the teacher's performance of spiritual power being released - in the vast and pure sword fairy aura, he could always see a slight abnormality.

According to Shangguan Yuning, that is the curse left by the demon king's ghost car. This is also one of the direct reasons why the teacher taught him swordsmanship.

And now, a similar aura actually appeared on the civilians far away from the city. Although it was very subtle, he could still see it at a glance.

Han Jiangchen immediately opened the window, leaned his head and asked the policeman with people, "Where did this person come from?"

"I just asked, saying that I had just returned from the Wanda Plaza for dinner, but he was so drunk, and I don't know if it was true." The policeman shook his head, "The few people in his car are in the same situation, and I can't ask anything."

Wanda Plaza...

Han Jiangchen pulled back and turned to the leaders in the front row and said, "It's better to search that square."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the car turned around and said, "Does this have anything to do with spiritual reaction?"

Han Jiangchen responded: "It is very likely."

One word made the expressions of the people in the car serious. The executors looked at each other, while Yue Kun, the leader, tensed up his face, as if he was meditating.

"How did you see it?" Yue Kun asked.

"I can see it." Han Jiangchen said.

"I'm asking you what you think."

“Just watch it…”

“……”

The similar conversation was repeated two or three times, but he didn't explain it clearly, which made Yue Kun's face twist. Seeing that the people around him were also inexplicably expressed, the leader finally coughed and made a decisive decision.

"Wanda Plaza... seems to be outside the scope of our search." He thought, "But since it was said by Kunlun students, it should be of some reference. So that's it. Since he has the means to detect this matter, he will be temporarily responsible for this area, bring a radio, and contact anytime if you have any questions. Others continue to carry out the spirit exploration mission as planned before."

The tasks have been assigned before, and it is indeed difficult to transfer jobs at this time. Being able to act freely by any intern is already the greatest trust.

The leader spoke, and the others agreed. Seeing that the road conditions of the car accident would not be cured for a while, the executors got off the car and brought their equipment to disperse themselves.

Han Jiangchen also got out of the car with his own spirit sword in his arms, and finally touched his pocket before leaving.

Unlike the executors, except for this spiritual sword from Shangguan’s headquarters, all he brought were equipment made by the school.

Before the winter vacation, Wei Ze made statistics on all students participating in combat internships, and each person distributed several defense talismans made by the equipment department, and a spirit storage talisman he made himself.

——No one knows what is stored in that talisman, but for all students, this is an amulet-like existence. Only with this thing can they have the capital to try the insurance.

Han Jiangchen checked the equipment one by one and confirmed that it was correct. Then he raised his sword and walked towards Wanda Plaza, the target location. Along the way, he passed by countless people with festive and joyful faces. The fireworks that bloomed from time to time in the sky reflected his shadow in the dark.

He grew up in this city since he was a child, and his old home was near this area, so he did not need maps or navigation at all. He found the brightly lit Wanda Plaza according to his memory.

In this not-developed urban area, this is one of the largest shopping areas nearby. It was New Year's Eve, and many people came here for family banquets, so the traffic was quite large. He stood under the huge electric lanterns in the central square, narrowing his eyes and looking into the air. The invisible waves formed a storm in his eyes. At this time, the storm was rolling up, like some kind of shocking ripples.

He touched his hand into his pocket, and the spirit-exploring talisman inside was trembling, making it hot and hot.

The reporting conditions should be met.

He turned on the radio: "Wanda Plaza does have spiritual responses, very strong."

"Received." Yue Kun responded soon from the channel, "You go in and find out the situation first, and we will go and support it soon."

"good."

The commander of Yuncheng would let him act alone, and he really trusted the Kunlun students very much.

But in fact, Han Jiangchen would do it without saying that he would do it. After all, there are many mortals in this mall, and his orders do not allow him to stand idly by about this potential risk.

He thought for a while, took off his coat and put it on his face, pulled up his hood, covered the scabbard of the spiritual sword behind him, and then restrained his spiritual power to hide his good breath. He then quietly swam into the bustling shopping mall like a silent fish.

The mall is still full of lively scenes during prime time, with songs congratulating the New Year on the loudspeaker. People shuttled together between the counters and shops, each of them smiling, just what they should look like on New Year's Eve.

"Haha, good! Happy New Year!"

"We'll have a happy New Year..."

There were voices of good New Year everywhere, and the greetings were filled with the warmth of the small city. He looked around the people in the mall and did not find the same aura as before.

If the talisman in the pocket was not trembling, it would have seemed so normal.

With his current high-level qi cultivation level, he can only feel the strange spiritual power permeated here, and he cannot directly lock the spiritual power source like a foundation-building cultivator. But logically speaking, if the spiritual power source is really in this mall, he should not be able to escape his eyes.

Where?

He followed the guidance of the spirit-exploring talisman and walked around the first floor, but did not see anything worth noting. So he could only walk to the escalator and was about to go up the second floor to take a look, but suddenly a sound of play came from beside him.

“Are you happy shopping today?”

"Happy! We'll come tomorrow!"

"Oh my little princess, this is so embarrassing to dad..."

Han Jiangchen turned around and just ran into the four family who came from the corridor: the leader was a man holding a little girl in his hand, and the girl licking the candy painting with the word "Fu" in his hand; beside them, the woman in a big red coat was holding a bigger boy, fiddling with the electric paper lantern.

After becoming sensible, he rarely interacted with his parents and met only a few times, but he still recognized the family at a glance - or, should he be, the man who looked like him.

When his parents divorced, he was sentenced to raise the man, but in fact, he rarely went back to his old home here after he went to school, and the two of them stayed together for a few hours. Before, he only knew that the man had another son after remarriage, but he didn't know that there was a daughter after that, with both children and a blessing in life.

It seems that I had just finished shopping in the mall and had fun for a day. The whole family was full of red and hot faces, but the moment I saw him, the hot and hot matter was destroyed as if it was poured on a basin of cold water.

Both sides stood there in a daze, looking at each other in the quiet air, as if an invisible wall separated them from the lively scenes around them.

"You..." The woman was stunned for a few seconds before she forced a smile and said to him, "Oh, is it Jiang Chen? Happy New Year."

She knew that her husband had a fool who was possessed by evil spirits. When she got married, the man promised her not to have too much contact with him, so she reluctantly agreed.

Over the years, she occasionally came to the house several times, and she held back her nose. Who knew that when she came to the mall for dinner during the Chinese New Year, she suddenly encountered this disaster star.

The little girl who was held by a man on her shoulder was ignorant. When she saw Han Jiangchen standing there, she smiled foolishly and stretched out a small fleshy hand to him. The woman quickly pressed it down, and turned to stare at the man next to her with annoyance.

The man was obviously quite embarrassed, standing there with a blue face and a white face, and after a long time he spoke, "Why are you here? Don't say it in advance, is there anything wrong?"

Han Jiangchen looked at his expression and hesitated for a moment: "It's something."

"What's the matter? You're out of money again?" The man frowned, "Didn't you just called you a while ago? Where did middle school students get such a large expense? Is it even more important to come to find them?"

“I’m already college.”

"Ah? Oh...yes, I remembered it, it's time to university." The man suddenly realized, "Which school did you take? Undergraduate or junior college?"

Han Jiangchen was about to answer, but the patience of the little boy holding a lantern next to him had reached its limit. He saw him pouting and grabbing the man's clothes and shouting: "Dad, stop talking! Go home quickly and prepare to set off firecrackers! I want to kick off the second kick!"

"Hey, okay, okay, let's go back soon..." The man touched his head helplessly, and then said to Han Jiangchen, "Okay, I understand, the cost of living in college is high. Just say how much you want this time. Today is the holiday, have you had a meal?"

Han Jiangchen was quiet for a moment: "I won't eat anymore. I still have a task, so I have to leave now."

"Oh, that's it, then you go quickly." The woman next to her was ashamed of an amnesty when she heard this, "We're going home too, it won't delay you anymore, you can work hard."

"…good."

The family of four passed him and walked straight towards the supermarket exit, his steps in a hurry as if he was running away.

Han Jiangchen stood there, watching them disappear at the door. The lanterns hanging by the door cast festive red lights, and the backs of the family were shrouded in the warm lights.

In fact, he suddenly wanted to say something... a very simple thing, and he could finish it in just a few words: He is now a cultivator and a student of Kunlun University. Because of this reason, he will carry out a very dangerous mission. If he really dies in the battle with demons in the future, he wants to ask someone to help him bury the jade pendant in the soil.

But he didn't know how to speak.

The mall was still playing enthusiastic festival music, and groups of people came and went around him, laughing and passing by him. He stood stiffly for a long time before turning to the elevator entrance and going upstairs to check the situation on the second floor, but the laughter in his ears became louder and louder, and the music became a little harsh.

"Congratulations on the Happy New Year... Singing and laughing... Congratulations on the Happy New Year... How wonderful the world..."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year..."

He suddenly stopped and looked up at the direction of the man's family leaving. As before, everyone in the mall was smiling. Under the light, their faces were reflected in joy, and the smile seemed to be stuck to their faces.

"Haha, good! Happy New Year!"

"We'll have a happy New Year..."

They were walking around the mall, smiling and saying hello to each other, saying the same words as they were just now, with an extremely excited expression, as if they were immersed in a beautiful dream.

Han Jiangchen suddenly felt nervous, and he suddenly realized something: from the beginning of his arrival, except for the man’s family just now... no one walked out of this mall!

Logically speaking, the mall closed early on holidays and started to close at about eight or nine o'clock. When he came in, it should have passed the meal time... He looked around and found an electronic clock in a corner of the counter area, and then discovered the second thing.

The clock in the mall stopped.
Chapter completed!
