Day of Celebration

Seeing Anping and Gu Yuena coming back, Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan immediately came up and followed them into the room.

After entering the room, Xu Xiaoyan said in horror, "Sister Nana, have you noticed that they have become a little strange, like...like..."

Le Zhengyu added, "It's like other people in the town, or more and more like other people in the town, and they don't seem to have noticed the changes in themselves."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. We won't end up like this in the future, right? That's too scary. What is going on in this town? It's too weird."

Anping said, "Don't worry, do you still remember the props I gave you on the first night? Those props are mainly for this situation. And even if you are really affected, you can recover quickly as long as you leave the town."

After hearing Anping's explanation, Xu Xiaoyan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I don't want to become like those people in this town."

Gu Yuena comforted her: "Okay, go back and rest quickly. When the celebration is over tomorrow, if we find nothing more, we will leave here."

After receiving affirmative replies from Anping and Gu Yuena, Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan got up and went back to their room to rest without saying anything more.

Not long after the two of them left, there was a knock on the door of the room. Anping opened the door and found Aya carrying a plate of fruit. Anping stepped aside to let her enter the room.

Gu Yuena looked at Aya who walked in, and said softly, "Aya, if you don't have a good rest at this late hour, is there something wrong?"

Aya nodded and said, "I didn't know why before, but the key around my neck kept moving around for some unknown reason, as if it wanted to fly away. I just wanted to ask you what happened."

Hearing what Aya said, Anping understood that it was because he caused the key to move when he took back the thin chain in the museum. After all, the two things were one.

Thinking of this, Anping asked, "Aya, when the key changed, was it seen by others, namely the few people who came with us?"

"No"

Seeing Aya's obedient nod, Anping rubbed her head and said, "That's good. I will help you solve this matter tomorrow, but I will still need your cooperation then."

Aya said, "After this is solved, can I go to the world outside the town? Mom and the others will become like me."

After all, Aya was only a child of about ten years old. Apart from knowing that she could not leave the town, she did not particularly understand what Anping and Gu Yuena meant by returning to normal.

But she knew that people in the town were different from people in the outside world. As for where the difference was, she could clearly feel it, but she didn't know how to express it.

Anping nodded and said, "Of course, after the town returns to normal, both your mother and other people in the town will become like us and have the emotions that normal people should have."

Hearing this, Aya nodded vigorously and said, "That's good, I will cooperate well!"

Anping rubbed Aya's head and said, "Okay, it's getting late, Aya should go and rest early. Also, thank you for the fruit."

After getting the answer she wanted, Aya's movement back became noticeably lighter. After Aya left, Anping and Gu Yuena also began to meditate respectively.

Time soon came to the next day. Because the town's celebration was a dance, it was held in the evening.

Unexpectedly, it was not Le Zhengyu who was most active in preparing for the dance, but Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. The reason why they were so prepared was not because they really liked dancing, but because they wanted to see if the abnormality in the town might be related to the dance.

The sky outside had only gotten a little darker, and the students from Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy had already changed into their costumes for the dance. Even Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi had changed out of their school uniforms.

Everyone followed the flow of people to the stage in the town square. This stage, which took three months to build, was not small at all. It was even a little larger than the banquet hall on the previous ship.

After arriving on the stage, everyone separated in unison. As the time came to seven o'clock in the evening, the mayor of the town walked onto the stage and without much nonsense, announced the start of the celebration.

As the celebration began, the entire stage became lively. Taking advantage of the chaos on the stage, Anping pulled Gu Yuena away from the stage and came to the place where he had made an appointment with Aya.

After all, this was a world with extraordinary abilities. Although Aya was curious about the sudden appearance of Anping and Gu Yuena, she was not too surprised. After all, the abilities of soul masters were all kinds of strange.

This place was a prop node that Anping had arranged before. After arriving here, Anping directly activated the props buried underground.

As the props were activated, an invisible barrier quickly spread until it covered the entire town, coinciding with the scope of the concept in the town, and then began to gradually absorb the conceptual energy existing in the town.

Then Anping squatted down, took out a shielding item and enveloped the three of them. His fingers gently touched the key hanging on Aya's neck. Just like touching the thin chain before, the key turned invisible in Aya's surprised eyes. The light disappeared.

Anping, who originally thought there would be some changes, found that except for the key on the source of magic being a little more solid, there were no other changes. Anping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, the matter has been resolved. In a few days, the people in the town will return to normal."

Aya said in disbelief, "Is this good? Does it mean that I can go out later? Can I participate in the photography competition held in the next town?"

Anping nodded and said, "That's true. By the way, keep this on you to protect you."

Anping said and hung a necklace around Aya's neck. The necklace's main function was to shield the plane from the will of the exploration, and also had some protective effects.

Aya nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Anping. Brother Anping is a good person."

Anping rubbed Aya's head and said, "Okay, the matter has been resolved. Let's go to the celebration."

Aya nodded and said, "Okay, okay, can Brother Anping and Sister Nana take me to the celebration like they suddenly showed up before?"

Aya's request was not particularly difficult for Anping and Gu Yuena, and they did not refuse. After putting away the shielding props, they held her hands one on the left and the other on the right, and the three of them appeared on the edge of the stage in a flash of silver light.

After experiencing this method personally, Aya seemed a little excited.
