twist street

He Ao picked up his phone and looked at the time, four fifty in the afternoon.

He raised his feet and stepped into Twisted Street.

This is a bustling commercial street, consisting of a main street and dozens of different side streets.

The street was very lively with people coming and going.

Such a famous street has never appeared in Rani and Gade's photos, which is a questionable point in itself.

The Ruodan branch of World Tree is most likely located on a branch street of this bustling commercial street.

Hidden away in the city.

In such a prosperous place, people always subconsciously feel that no one would put a branch of an intelligence organization here.

This actually makes it a safe place.

Of course, when World Tree intelligence personnel come in and out, they must be careful not to let people around them notice the problem.

In order to prevent the specialness from being noticed, He Ao guessed that the World Tree branch would still choose a street with less traffic.

He Ao walked along the main street and scanned all the branch streets, but he could not find any streets with suspicious buildings.

Do we have to search each street one by one?

He Ao raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun was gradually setting towards the west.

Although the daylight is still bright at this time, it is already approaching evening.

From various previous information, it appears that the god named ‘Mysterious Shadow’ claims to be the Lord of the Eternal Night, and his power should be most active after entering the night.

Similarly, when night falls, it should also be the most suitable time for the primitive church to conduct rituals.

There were no large-scale ritual deaths last night because Heao destroyed the Shadow Club, attracting Moonlight's attention and disrupting their plans.

However, He Ao did not think that the Shadow Club was the only means of the Primitive Church. Lani had never entered the Shadow Club and still died in the ritual.

Once night falls, the primitive church starts the ceremony through other means. With the blessing of the power of the gods, He Ao may not be able to solve them so easily.

Therefore, it is best to find the Ruodan branch of the World Tree before nightfall, which is where the believers of the polluted primitive church reside.

He Ao looked at the branch streets that he had already observed and fell into deep thought.

Pictures of streets passing through his mind.

There should be no streets he missed.

He counted the number of streets in his mind. There seemed to be a total of seventeen branch streets in the entire Tike Street.

These are seventeen streets, and he has looked at them all carefully.

etc,

He Ao was stunned, took out his mobile phone, opened the map software, then located here, and counted the surrounding branch streets one by one along this Newk street.

Sixteen, seventeen...eighteen.

Twisted Street has a total of eighteen branch streets.

He Ao stopped and looked at the bustling street in front of him again. He checked all the streets in Tike Street that he had memory of. There were seventeen streets in total, and there was no eighteenth street.

But the map in his hand clearly has eighteen streets.

Either the map hasn't been updated for a long time and something went wrong, or there was something wrong with him.

Moreover, he could not recall at all the difference between the seventeen streets he counted and the eighteen streets on the map.

He thought for a moment, followed the streets on the map on his mobile phone, entered Tike Street again, and started counting them one by one.

One···Two···Four···

···Seventeen···Eighteen.

He Ao stopped and looked at the busy branch street in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

Eighteen articles, right?

Did you count wrong just now?

No, something is wrong.

He Ao closed his eyes and carefully recalled the memory just now.

Although he counted eighteen streets, he still only had scenes from seventeen streets in his memory.

He raised his feet again and counted the streets one by one. This time, he counted down from back to front.

Eighteen···Seventeen···

···Four···Two

As soon as He Ao's footsteps stopped, he realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't detect anything wrong.

He retreated to the back of the fourth street and activated his super memory.

At this moment, the reflection of the entire street appeared in his mind.

He crossed fourth street and stopped halfway between second and fourth streets.

Pedestrians coming and going passed by here without stopping in their footsteps, as if there was nothing here.

In fact, there was a thought in He Ao's mind that told him that there was nothing here.

However, in Chaoyi's vision, a lonely and lonely street was reflected in He Ao's mind.

Dark shadows covered the street. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, there was no light on the street.

On both sides of the street are shops with half-opened doors, and strange black canvases are hung in front of their doors.

This is the ‘disappeared’ ‘eighteenth’ street

There are eighteen streets in Tike Street, but one street is hidden by some kind of force.

So walking along the main street of Tike Street, you can only 'see' seventeen streets.

If we directly count the number of streets, we will skip this missing street and get the answer of eighteen streets.

But what Heao counted was not the number of streets. What he first counted was the number of streets in his memory.

For ordinary people, their own memory will inevitably have some errors. It is impossible to count in this way, and there is a high probability that they will not believe the amount they count.

So this is a very clever way of hiding interference. Perhaps only people with a specific "invitation" can enter this street.

But for He Ao, who has a memory enhanced by super memory, his long-term habit of using super memory has made him trust his memory more.

Because the hidden streets were invisible, Ho Ao only had images of those seventeen streets in his memory, which aroused his doubts about the number of streets.

Eventually this hidden street was discovered.

He Ao glanced at the dark street in front of him and put away his mobile phone.

——

The man with a brown moustache was sitting at the intersection of the branch street of Tike Street, using the newspaper in his hand to cover his eyes and glanced at the other side of Tike Street.

A tall and upright young man from Middle-earth who looked a little immature was standing opposite, staring at something.

There was obviously nothing on the opposite side, but this young man seemed to be watching some complicated scene.

The man kept staring at the young man's back. He watched the young man put away his mobile phone and seemed to be preparing to move forward.

A woman pushing a stroller passed behind the young man, blocking his back.

The man's eyes flashed.

When the woman walked by, the young man was no longer in his sight.

The man paused for a moment, then calmly put away the newspaper, took out his cell phone, and stood up slowly.

He raised his head and glanced around, glanced at the cameras of the nearby store, then looked away, turned and turned into a hidden alley deep in the street.

At the same time, he opened the address book on his mobile phone, selected a number and was about to call it.

"Who do you need to contact? You need to go to such a remote place?"

A cold voice sounded in his ears.

From the corner of his eye, a young man with a well-proportioned figure and a somewhat immature appearance was standing quietly beside him.

His body froze, and he immediately took out a silencer-equipped pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the young man beside him.

puff--

A slight gunshot rang out, and the bullet penetrated the wall nearby.

He Ao pulled the bone sword out of the man's chest and let the blood flow on the ground.

He put the bone sword back into the pirate treasure chest with his backhand and watched the man's eyes widen as he fell to the ground.

People here love to fight and kill.

He Ao shook his head,
