A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 195: The Living Street

Outside the Tenth District.

The black fog churns in the air, the sky covered in dark clouds, as if the apocalypse is arriving.

Teams of armed soldiers patrol outside the streets to prevent anyone from wandering in.

Several days have passed.

No one has come out of the Tenth District, not even to collect the most basic living supplies.

Now, the entire Linjiang City implements a small district management system.

At a fixed time each day.

The district property will collect the corresponding food at a designated location and distribute it to the residents of the entire district. The food distribution is executed and supervised entirely by the soldiers from the Armed Department, as it is currently the most secure method.

This directly avoids people going out and being exposed to the Black Moon’s light.

Without protective isolation suits, direct exposure to the Black Moon on the skin can easily cause distortion, increasing a person’s pollution level.

But.

The Tenth District is an anomaly.

No one has escaped, and no property manager has come out to negotiate with the authorities.

Even now.

These soldiers do not know the conditions inside the Tenth District.

Logically speaking.

Even if some people have food reserves at home, it’s impossible for everyone to endure for this long.

Many people actually ran out of food that very day.

Yet, no one has walked out of the district, and the entire Tenth District is eerily silent, almost devoid of sound.

Some speculate.

A major issue has arisen inside the Tenth District.

Two days ago, a search team entered, and only one person returned, crazed, hinting at this problem.

...

The three arrived in front of the Tenth District, and it was already afternoon. Although now the Black Moon hangs high in the sky at all times, making no distinction between day and night.

But Baiyu still feels that the basic time should be remembered.

"Reporting to you, sir, Qiong Jiu and the others have been inside for quite some time. They inspected outside the district for a long time before finally choosing to enter, saying they would immediately withdraw if anything went wrong."

A soldier reported.

Tang Xiaoyu’s heart sank.

We arrived late, after all!

Now they have already gone in, and the situation is indeed developing in the worst possible direction.

"Don’t panic, let’s wait a while first."

Baiyu was not in a hurry.

They waited at the camp outside the Tenth District, and several hours passed without a hint of movement from the district.

It was dead silent.

Eerie.

Terrifying.

And in Baiyu’s line of sight, bizarrely terrifying figures flashed among the clouds and fog in the Tenth District many times.

He asked Tang Xiaoyu and Lin Shan.

Both said they saw nothing.

Baiyu speculated this might be related to his Pupil of Chongming.

"It’s connected; contact with Zenith City has been established." At this moment, Lin Shan said excitedly beside him.

Throughout the afternoon.

Lin Shan had been using the satellite phone to contact outside the city.

The display result was always busy, but now, finally, the call was connected.

A voice came from the other side of the phone, of Yuwen Ba.

"We can now confirm that the source of the Black Moon incident this time occurred in the Tenth District. Initially, the Black Moon was not aggressive, but someone used special methods to spread pollution through the Black Moon.

Pang Fei and Qiong Jiu have both transmitted valuable information.

The Tenth District should have already become an Otherworldly Realm, and everyone entering may be scattered, with what they see, the environment, etc., all different.

We are now preliminarily analyzing.

The scenes they see might be related to each person’s Spiritual World."

Yuwen Ba spoke quickly.

He conveyed the analyses made by a large group of experts researching Mysticism and Simulation Realm behind him to the three :

"The current Tenth District is extremely dangerous.

Entering it might not depend on strength but more on spirit and temperament.

Do not act rashly for now.

Experts speculate that it will take five days to break through the Simulation Realm isolating Linjiang City. If there’s no abnormal movement in the Tenth District, do not go in.

Wait a moment.

We will soon set up a special network, striving for video communication."

Beep beep...

After the brief exchange, both sides ended the call.

The faces of the three were not looking good.

The Otherworldly Realm, has become a world of its own.

Just like a Simulation Realm, the rules inside might be completely different from those of the real world, no wonder Qiong Jiu and Pang Fei did not have any communication after entering.

Wait.

Baiyu strongly advised Tang Xiaoyu and Lin Shan not to think too much; waiting is the best choice right now.

Another two hours passed.

Yuwen Ba called in, telling the three that the video communication network had already been set up.

Outside the Tenth District.

The three met the reinforcements outside the city for the first time.

Yuwen Ba frowned: "Where are the other Martial Artists and Extraordinaries from Linjiang? Are all that’s left just you?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Most of them entered the Tenth District together with Qiong Jiu, including Meng Lei from the Holy Light Church, the Chief Investigator from the Anomaly Bureau, etc. No news has returned now."

Yuwen Ba sighed, his expression grim:

"They probably encountered big trouble inside, just like Pang Fei before; we were maintaining contact all along.

But suddenly their voices disappeared.

No responses or screams were transmitted, not even warnings could be sent out, as if they evaporated into thin air.

Let me take a look at the situation outside the Tenth District first."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded.

Holding the recording equipment, she took a walk around the outside of the Tenth District.

But after this round.

They discovered a new problem.

The Tenth District is expanding!

It’s truly expanding, as if the buildings are moving outward, Tang Xiaoyu walked two rounds consecutively, discovering that the district’s length and width had expanded by several meters.

"This..."

Tang Xiaoyu was completely at a loss.

She had never encountered such a situation.

Even Yuwen Ba was filled with confusion, looking towards his think tank behind him.

And now, the scholars specializing in researching Simulation Realms and Mysticism, were bewildered, as no one has encountered such terrifying, uncanny circumstances.

"It’s not expanding, it’s devouring the surrounding areas!!"

At this moment.

Baiyu said coldly.

Just now, he activated the Scholar Secret Technique Energy Perception, clearly witnessing that the entire Tenth District was a massive, burning energy mass.

This energy mass continually incorporates the surroundings into its body, growing bigger!

Like an infant, absorbing nutrients from the mother’s body.

The Tenth District is that infant, and the entire mother’s body is Linjiang City.

"Not just buildings, but people, objects, everything will be devoured by the Tenth District." Baiyu observed for several minutes continued, confirming this horrifying phenomenon.

He saw several cats and dogs touch the Tenth District and instantly disappear.

Others might see these cats and dogs entering the Tenth District, but from his energy perception perspective, the energy, Blood Qi of the cats and dogs was clearly devoured by the Tenth District, becoming nutrients.

In other words.

The whole street is alive!!
