Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 209 The Secret of the Town.

Like two mice groping in the dark, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao continued their cautious exploration of this eerie town. Their keen intuition, like two precise antennas, clearly sensed that beneath the seemingly calm and tranquil surface lay secrets as deep as a whirlpool, waiting to be uncovered.

Night fell silently, like a vast black ribbon, gently yet mercilessly veiling the town in an even more mysterious atmosphere. The cold moonlight, like silver frost, relentlessly bathed the desolate streets, elongating their solitary yet resolute shadows, making them appear like two stretched-out ghosts.

Su Yao followed closely behind Jun Luochuan like a frightened fawn, her voice trembling slightly, like an autumn leaf shivering in the wind: "Jun Luochuan, I always feel like there are invisible black hands following us in the dark, and the cold touch feels like it's freezing my spine."

Jun Luochuan stopped his steady, powerful steps, his gaze sweeping sharply across the surroundings like lightning, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the thick darkness: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even the demons of hell wouldn't dare to show themselves to me easily. I will be like a towering mountain, shielding you from all storms."

Like lost travelers, they arrived at the town square. It was deserted, as silent as a forgotten corner of the world, save for an ancient and mysterious statue, a silent guardian, standing alone in the center. The statue's face had been blurred by time, but its eyes, like two burning stars, pierced through the endless darkness, gazing directly at them, seemingly telling an ancient and mysterious story.

"This statue is so strange. It feels like a soul that has been sealed away for thousands of years, with a lot to say to us." Su Yao murmured to herself, her eyes wide with curiosity and fear.

Jun Luochuan strode forward with firm steps, like a meticulous archaeologist, carefully observing the enigmatic statue: "This statue may be the mysterious key to unlocking the secrets of the town, hiding the answers we have been searching for."

Just then, a cold wind, like a mischievous sprite, swept past, bringing with it a strange and pungent smell.

"What is this smell? It's awful, like a stench of rotting corpses and moldy herbs mixed together." Su Yao hurriedly covered her nose, looking like a kitten attacked by a pungent odor.

Jun Luochuan frowned deeply, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought: "This smell is unusual, far from an ordinary odor. It may be a delicate clue cast for us by the god of fate, leading us toward the abyss of truth."

Like hounds led by scent, they followed the faint aroma to a long-abandoned factory. The factory gates were tightly shut, like a silent giant refusing outside access. But the faint sounds emanating from within seemed to be extending a mysterious invitation to them.

"There seems to be someone inside. Could it be a demon hiding in the darkness?" Su Yao's voice trembled like a candle flame flickering in the wind.

Jun Luochuan gently pushed the seemingly sturdy door, but the door remained unmoved, like a stubborn fortress, as if mocking their powerlessness.

"It seems we need to find a way to get in and take a look. Perhaps the key to solving all the mysteries lies behind this door." Jun Luochuan's gaze was firm, his mind racing as he pondered how to enter.

They searched for the entrance to the labyrinthine factory, finally finding a broken window on one side. The window looked like a gaping mouth, waiting for them to enter.

Jun Luochuan displayed his decisiveness and courage, climbing in first, and then, like a gentle knight, carefully pulling Su Yao in.

Thick dust filled the factory, like a gray fog, choking them and making it almost impossible to breathe. The once roaring machines were now rusted, like dead beasts, exuding a putrid stench. They walked cautiously, each step feeling like walking on thin ice, when suddenly they heard a fierce argument coming from one of the rooms, the sounds like two ferocious beasts fighting each other.

"Let's go take a look," Jun Luochuan said in a low voice, his eyes filled with a desire to explore.

They crept closer to the room and, through the crack in the door, saw several blurry figures...
