Chapter 63 Could it be a migrating city?

 Shadow Spell, the demigod incarnation casually destroyed a strange human head that floated over, and Xu Yi prepared to go down to the city to investigate. In the airspace of the Evil Spirit Island, it is still difficult to survive without a deterrent of the size of the Flesh and Blood Mechanical City. The fat man and Ren Yayi who entered first should be somewhere in the city.

  Spotting a high-rise building, Xu Yi fixed the mechanical chain in his hand on the side of the Wasteland Divine Domain. The chain extended, and Xu Yi held the chain and slowly descended to the roof of the high-rise with Du Yuanfei.

  The iron door on the top floor was locked, and was corroded open by Xu Yi using Shadow Stab, a small shadow magic he mastered after he was promoted to the demigod level. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he was stopped by Du Yuanfei who was prepared.

  With the help of divine magic and disguise, the conspicuous gray hair was covered up, the strange spell on the chin was completely concealed, and the overall skin color of the demigod incarnation became brighter, and he finally looked like a normal person.

  "You are really the same as before. You have a lot of tricks when planning tactics, but when it comes to the battle, you just rush in. You look like you are not going there to get information, you are just going there to fight."

  Du Yuanfei said with some dissatisfaction, and also cast a camouflage spell on himself, hiding the color of his conspicuous light golden long hair and turning it into ordinary long straight black hair.

  Downstairs was a high-end restaurant. There was a pretty waitress at the door, but there was one thing that was different from what I remembered from my previous life. The waitress had a short knife hanging around her waist, and the scabbard was exquisite and had an ancient feel.

  Seeing the two people walking down the stairs from the top floor, her expression was a little alert, but it changed into a polite smile in the blink of an eye.

  "My two guests, please show us your hunter codes."

  Upon hearing this, Xu Yi, who was about to take out his own information, stopped. It was obvious that the hunter code was not the same item as the evil spirit information in his hand.

  The movement of her hands stopped for a moment, and the waitress's right hand had already reached for the hilt of the knife.

  Divine magic, enchanting humans. Du Yuanfei's eyes seemed to light up with two red rays.

  A similar red light flashed in his eyes, and the waiter's vigilant eyes relaxed, and the hand that was touching the handle of the knife naturally dropped down: "Ah, it's OK, both guests, please come in."

  As soon as they entered the restaurant, other waiters led them to a square table for two people where they could sit closer to each other.

  After sitting down, Du Yuanfei became more and more alert. Xu Yi then remembered that except for Lao He's place, where else in the Age of Gods could there be a function where waiters could take orders?

  Even when Lao He was busy, he also used holographic images to order dishes, and the food was delivered by transportation robots. Lao He felt bored staying alone when there was no one around, and wanted to chat with them for a while, so he personally served the dishes to the table.

  Du Yuanfei simply couldn't imagine how luxurious it was in the pre-cyber era to have a waiter for every few tables. Faintly, it seemed that a red glow was about to emerge from her eyes.

  "Ahem, let's take a look first. You can do something else first."

  "Okay sir, just call me if you need anything."

  Sure enough, some of the common sense rules here are no different from those in his previous life. What he needs to understand are just the parts that are different from his common sense.

  The red glow gradually faded, and Du Yuanfei was a little annoyed: "What? It was obviously me who seduced the woman at the door, but I was still indirectly led by her. Why did we enter the restaurant without the currency of this world? Ordering something will definitely cause trouble. The people in this world are too vigilant. They are so wary of us just because we walked down from the top floor."

  Smiling, Xu Yi knew that she must have misunderstood something. The waitress was on guard, but what she said was mostly to attract customers. If she asked this question, maybe there would be another table of customers. However, he would not force an explanation at this time. He just said lightly: "It's okay, let's sit for a while and listen to what others are saying. At worst, we can just leave without ordering anything. It's not strange for customers who are not satisfied with the menu."

  After sitting for a while, Xu Yi asked for some water and then focused his attention on the surroundings. Those who could come here should be of high status and perhaps they could get some crucial information.

  "Mr. Sam, after the number of evil spirits increased by two last night, it has now increased by more than two thousand. This news has shocked the entire Hunter's Guild..."

  Glancing from the side, Xu Yi spotted a skinny man with a mustache and a brown jacket rubbing his fingers towards an old gentleman in a neat suit with gray hair and a walking stick next to his seat.

  "One hundred Goths. Depending on how detailed your information is, I will raise the price accordingly."

  A blue banknote was handed over by the old gentleman named Mr. Sam, and the man with a small mustache showed a clear smile.

  "This is related to the city of flesh and blood that Hei Rixin teleported this morning..." After looking around, the man with the mustache gradually lowered his voice and could no longer be heard.

  It seems that the impact of my arrival is still very huge...

  …

  Fifteen minutes later, the two walked out of the restaurant leisurely and were politely greeted by the waitress with "Welcome again".

  After watching for a while, Du Yuanfei seemed to understand something. In the pre-cyber era, people actually used precious manpower to do this kind of service work!

  He got a lot of information. The numbering system of Ghost Island is divided into Ghost numbers starting with 1 and Ghost Hunter numbers starting with 0. Ghost Hunter numbers have reached seven digits, which means that the number of Ghost Hunters is more than 20 times that of Ghosts!

  Most of them are good at using weapons and have the ability to add energy attributes to weapons.

  But according to what the short man said, it was very likely that the Devouring Shadow counted him, Du Yuanfei and the more than 2,000 believers as evil spirits, which is why the number suddenly increased by 2,000. As for the two extra numbers last night, they should be Zheng Guihao and Ren Yayi.

  However, with [Shadow of the Devourer]'s temper, would he be willing to distribute 2,000 copies of evil spirit information one by one?

  After asking the three orc undeads who could still communicate with each other through telepathy at this distance, Xu Yi learned that there were nearly two thousand [Shadow of Devouring] that was comparable to a fifth-level creature that day!

  However, Xu Yi would not directly believe that [Shadow of Devouring] could split into more than 2,000 fifth-level clones, and that it was probably just a deliberate attempt to confuse people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he and Du Yuanfei only had one fifth-level clone. Moreover, if it was really possible, its level must be more than the sixth level.

  With such creatures being so strong, Xu Yi suspected that even if the officer Zhang Zhongling with weak divine power came, he would not be able to get anything good out of them. They would just become evil spirits here. Zheng Guihao would no longer have to worry about the college entrance examination. To escape from this predicament, he could only hope that in a few years human civilization would have enough energy to conquer this place.

  After leaving the restaurant, Xu Yi easily found the elevator to the ground floor based on his experience of shopping in malls in his previous life.

  People who were riding in the same elevator noticed that the two men were not equipped with weapons and looked at them with suspicion for a while, but when they still did not see any aggressive behavior from them, they put aside their suspicions.

  The people walking on the street look different, and there are many small anomalies that can be found: the majority of the crowd are young and middle-aged, almost all of them are armed, and the population comes from a wide range of sources, with people of all bloodlines and races being seen.

  According to the knowledge of a certain subject in the previous life, could it be that the Ghost Island is a migrating city?
