Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 75 Shadow
On the banks of Shaoshui River.

The river is cool and there is no sunlight all year round.

The banks are covered with grass, showing a strange black and yellow color.

Hundreds of meters high, a lantern wheel was suspended, emitting a pale light.

"The light bulbs in the shadow area are really annoying."

The shuttle flashed blue light and landed on the ground.

The hatch opened, and Shi Xuan jumped out first, his face pale. "I feel like vomiting."

He leaned on his Moon Chasing Blade, hunched over, and retched a few times.

Jiang Jian walked down the gangway, looked up at the lantern wheel, and remained silent.

This is the shadow area of ​​Dayan City.

It is exactly the same as the shadow area of ​​Guangling City.

"See you Jiang."

Liu Tiezhu lowered himself and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't seem to be disgusted by the environment in the shadow area."

A city divided into two districts.

The Divine Illumination Area was suspended in the sky, and the giant city's star ring spread out in all directions, blocking out the sunlight.

The lighting of the shadowed areas depends entirely on the suspended light wheels, regardless of day or night.

Many people who come to the shadow area and are exposed to the radiation from the lamp wheel will feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

"I am used to it."

Jiang Jian said softly.

Liu Tiezhu looked surprised and asked, "Do you often go to the shadow area?"

Generally speaking.

Students who are admitted to God-given universities are assumed to be from the God-illuminating area.

Not to mention the first college of Linjiang Academy.

Shi Xuan covered his chest, raised his head, and explained: "Jiang Jian is in Guangling City and is a resident of the Shadow Zone."

The words fell.

Not only Liu Tiezhu's eyes trembled.

Even Yamaye and Yinyin were surprised.

"Level 3 talent in the shadow zone, and the results are surprisingly good."

Shanye looked at Jiang Jian, and after being shocked, his expression turned to admiration. "As far as I know, there are not many level 2 talents in the Shadow Zone."

"No wonder."

Liu Tiezhu came back to his senses and turned on his ID device. "Let's go to the ranch first. There's something unusual here."

For Jiang Jian here, the identity of the residents of the shadow area.

Several people showed no discrimination.

Shi Xuan stepped forward, afraid that Jiang Jian would have some grudges, and said apologetically: "I just vomited, it was really uncomfortable, it didn't mean to dislike the shadow area."

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "I know."

While talking.

A few dozen meters away, the ranch gate opened.

"Are the students from Linjiang Academy here?"

A voice of surprise came.

A man in sportswear strode out, saying anxiously, "All the white jade sheep have been stolen!"

Liu Tiezhu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Are you the owner of Dayan Ranch?"

The man in sportswear nodded: "My name is Zhao Lei, and I'm in charge of this ranch."

More than a dozen soldiers holding guns stood in two rows in front of the door.

"The academy gave the ranch a commission, and in just one week, you lost over 20 white jade sheep!"

Liu Tiezhu walked into the gate and compared the information on the ID card with a gloomy expression.

Jiang Jian stood beside him, walked to the fence, and looked at the sheep in the pasture.

More than a hundred white jade sheep are scattered across the vast pasture.

The pasture is full of black and yellow grass.

The fences around are very high, and there are armed soldiers guarding every few dozen meters.

"Look at it this way, not even a mosquito can fly in."

Shanye walked to Jiang Jian and spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Jian nodded: "It's an informal citizen incident."

Informal citizen events.

These are informal citizens in the shadow area who violate the law, damage property, disturb the public, and kill people. If such incidents are reported, they will generally be handled by the Procuratorate.

But this ranch was commissioned by Linjiang Academy.

The Dayan City Procuratorate came to take a look, but did not dare to take over without authorization, so they reported it.

"I've watched all the surveillance footage, and I really can't find the reason!"

Zhao Lei's aggrieved voice came, "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance!"

monitoring room.

The huge holographic screen is divided into hundreds of small screens.

He monitors the ranch all day long, taking care of every detail.

"here!"

Liu Tiezhu suddenly spoke, moving his fingers.

Monitor playback on one screen.

Dozens of white jade sheep were grazing on grass by the river.

A few seconds later, they returned to the depths of the pasture, but there were several fewer of them.

"Have you ever been down to this river and seen it?"

Liu Tiezhu asked.

Zhao Lei responded, "I sent people to check several times, and there's nothing in the river."

Liu Tiezhu frowned for a few seconds and looked at Jiang Jian: "There is definitely something wrong with this river. Let's go and take a look."

Jiang Jian nodded: "Okay."

The fence is open.

Dozens of armed soldiers followed behind.

"Let them go back."

Jiang Jian glanced and said softly.

Zhao Lei waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately turned around and walked out.

Jiang Jian sensed that these people neglected cultivation, and the spiritual essence of their divine palaces was mostly between 1% and 3%.

The vast majority of adults do not get into a God-given university.

Throughout one's lifetime, the spiritual essence of the Divine Palace will not exceed 3%.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual here."

When Liu Tiezhu reached the river bank where the white jade sheep disappeared, he felt something and frowned even more tightly.

The river water was so cold that it almost hit my face.

But looking down from the river bank, the river is crystal clear and there is not even much water weeds.

Jiang Jian turned his head and glanced at the end of the river bank: "Let's split up and take a look."

"Row."

Liu Tiezhu walked to the left.

Yinyin's expression changed slightly as she walked beside Jiang Jian: "Classmate Jiang Jian, did you find anything?"

Jiang Jian walked along the river bank to the end of the fence and said, "This is the forbidden formation set up by the school staff."

"The source of the river is Shaoshui."

"This forbidden formation is probably to prevent anything from sneaking in from the river."

Beneath the fence, a faint light surged.

Jiang Jian bent down and carefully examined the forbidden formation.

"The formation is not damaged."

Yinyin said, "But the White Jade Sheep did disappear by the river."

at the same time.

There was a communication coming from the ID device.

Liu Tiezhu's voice came: "The river forbidden formation on my side is intact."

"Same here."

After Jiang Jian replied, he turned off the phone and looked at the clear river water with a frown on his face.

Yinyin whispered, "White Jade Sheep are very valuable. Could it be that the rancher stole the property and used fake surveillance to deceive us?"

Jiang Jian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The surveillance here is backed up at the school. He shouldn't dare to do that."

"But you said he stole from the company."

Jiang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, "I think of another possibility."
