Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 862 - 859: Celestial and Terrestrial Phenomena
The two little ones were playing inside the house.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder echoed from outside, making Dou Dou shiver in fright. She immediately stopped her actions and looked towards the outside with some fear.
Although Tang Tang couldn’t hear, she seemed to feel something in her heart and immediately turned and ran towards the balcony.
"Hurry back, don’t go out..." Dou Dou tried her best to stop her.
As a ghost, she seemed to have a natural fear of lightning, not to mention that it wasn’t just thunder now.
In just a few breaths, the once bright and sunny sky outside was filled with wind and clouds, making it seem as though the sky was about to collapse.
The thick clouds covered the sky, plunging the land into darkness.
"Strange, is it going to rain today?"
"Is it another tornado?"
"Tornado? The weather forecast didn’t say anything."
"Well, the weather forecast isn’t always accurate."
"But they shouldn’t get it wrong about a tornado."
"Then it might not be a tornado, or maybe it’s still far away. But a heavy rain is definitely unavoidable..."
"Oh no, I haven’t closed the windows at home."
...
People were coming out of the house, discussing amongst themselves.
Tang Tang also came out from the house, standing on the balcony, looking up at the sky.
Mao Sanmei hurriedly chased out, wanting to pull Tang Tang back, but this little one was very stubborn, refusing to go.
Mao Sanmei didn’t dare to use force, nor wanted to force her, so she could only squat down and hold her in her arms, looking up at the sky together with her.
She didn’t understand what was so interesting about the overcast sky.
Duoduo, on the other hand, was hiding behind the glass on the balcony, peeking outside.
She wouldn’t dare to go out; not only the ceaseless flashing thunder in the sky but also the howling winds filled her with fear.
As she was a ghost, like smoke, a careless move could cause the wind to blow her anywhere.
If she got swept into the cloud layer, it would be disastrous, her soul would be scattered, with no exceptions.
"It’s thundering and raining, Tang Tang, hurry back..."
Dou Dou was curling up her body and still didn’t forget to call out to Tang Tang.
But Tang Tang turned a deaf ear, continuing to look up at the sky, as if something up there was attracting her.
The abnormal weather throughout Qiong Province naturally drew the attention of the higher-ups as well.
Ever since Shen Siyuan’s last big commotion, the nerves of those up top had been tense.
So they paid extra attention to Qiong Province.
If only Binzhou or several surrounding regions were like this, they might not care, but for the entire Qiong Province to be shrouded in clouds was very unusual.
Even the so-called strongest typhoon of ’14, Rammasun, only caused damage to parts of Qiong Province; although it made a lot of noise, it didn’t affect the entire Qiong Province.
But now the western part of Qiong Province, near the inland sea, was shrouded in pervasive clouds.
This anomaly prompted the higher-ups to make a call directly to the Special Affairs Bureau, and then contact Song Meixian and Zhong Xiaonan, who were stationed in Qiong Province.
"I’m not sure either, Mr. Shen has been at home these days, hasn’t gone out..."
"His family and loved ones are all in Qiong Province, haven’t left, wait a moment, I’ll check his real-time location..."
"It shouldn’t have anything to do with Mr. Shen, right..."
"Alright, I’ll contact him and ask..."
Song Meixian put down the phone, then said directly to Zhong Xiaonan who was standing nearby, "Contact Mr. Shen."
As for herself, she contacted other staff stationed in Qiong Province.
Some were working near Red Hearts International, some were engaged in supporting agriculture work in the countryside around Linjiapo.
They quickly reported back that everyone was present, showing no signs of leaving Qiong Province.
This greatly relieved Song Meixian, who then turned to look at Zhong Xiaonan.
Only to see Zhou Xiaonan holding the phone, looking at her innocently.
"What’s wrong?" Song Meixian asked nervously.
"Can’t get through."
"Try again." Song Meixian frowned, she had a bad premonition.
So Zhong Xiaonan dialed Shen Siyuan’s number again.
But there was still no answer.
Seeing this, Song Meixian decisively said, "Let’s go over directly."
With that, she took the lead and walked towards the door.
Everyone around Shen Siyuan had someone responsible for monitoring and also for protection.
But alone, there wasn’t anyone responsible for monitoring, if something happened, they could only go themselves.
The two of them went downstairs to outside, only to see pitch darkness out there, where visibility was reduced as if it were the dead of night.
Zhong Xiaonan quickly turned on the phone light, only then did she clearly see the surroundings.
"Should we still go?" Zhong Xiaonan asked cautiously.
She asked this not because she was afraid of the dark.
But because they vaguely felt something was wrong, after all, they weren’t ordinary people, with spiritual senses far beyond the average person; they naturally sensed the changes in the world more profoundly than ordinary people.
"Of course, even if it’s raining knives from the sky, we must go."
Song Meixian said crossly, advancing forward, with Zhong Xiaonan quickly following behind.
By now, there were essentially no pedestrians outside; everyone had found shelter from the strong wind. In Bin Hai, they were already quite accustomed to such weather and weren’t too panicked.
Some households by the roadside had turned on their lights, saving Zhong Xiaonan the trouble of constantly using the phone light.
But just then, the sky suddenly flashed a bright light, and the two of them quickly looked up towards the sky.
They then saw a brilliant beam of light shoot up into the sky, directly stirring up the clouds.
All the clouds in the sky spun rapidly around the light, forming a giant vortex, accompanied by thunder and lightning, akin to a natural disaster.
"It must be his doing."
Upon seeing that dazzling light, Song Meixian blurted out, and Zhong Xiaonan nodded silently in agreement beside her.
"Oh~ Oh..."
Tang Tang turned around and looked at Mao Sanmei, pointing at the sky, full of excitement, as if she had been waiting for this moment.
At this moment, Dou Dou, hiding inside the house, saw the scene and quietly came out, then lay on Mao Sanmei’s back, thus not fearing being blown away by the wind.
She of course recognized it was Potato’s doing, given Shen Siyuan’s "Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword," she’d seen it countless times and had always longed to play with it.
"Why is he making such a big commotion, and for what?" Song Meixian felt quite headache.
Not to mention anything else, just the public opinions caused by such a big commotion were enough to give them headaches.
"Are we... still going now?" Zhong Xiaonan asked cautiously.
"Of course we must... uh..."
Before she could finish her words, the sky changed again.
For in the oppressive clouds appeared a magnificent city.
"A sea mirage?"
"No, does Daxia have such a place?"
Zhong Xiaonan, who was holding a phone, immediately aimed it at the sky.
It wasn’t just her; countless people throughout Qiong Province raised their phones.
"Huh?"
Dou Dou looked up at the city in the sky, faintly feeling it was familiar, as if she’d seen it somewhere before.
