Shen County.
An SUV drove into the county town.
It was nearly noon. People streamed along the streets, and vehicles flowed steadily by. The lively atmosphere made Su Qi relax. Everything he had seen and heard since last night had been simply bizarre.
Especially the mass of dark clouds covering the city that he had glimpsed during his escape that morning.
Even though he understood nothing.
Even though he knew nothing about it.
He had instinctively sensed a deep suffocation and terror.
The feeling reminded him of the typhoon he had encountered while vacationing by the sea last year—the darkened sky, the raging winds and torrential rain, the sensation that the world was ending.
And that brief glimpse that morning.
Had been ten times more terrifying than facing the typhoon back then!
"Where are we going now?" While waiting at a traffic light, Su Qi lit a cigarette, took a greedy drag, and blew out a perfect smoke ring.
"First, we'll go to the neighboring city."
"Then we'll buy train tickets to the Capital City."
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment.
He had inexplicably been thrown back into this era by the Three Lives Stone. He had lost all his talents, and there were no instructions telling him what to do. In this situation, the best choice was to observe first and gather enough information.
The Capital City was relatively safe.
People from all over the country gathered there, and perhaps he could learn more useful information.
Normally speaking.
As an outsider unfamiliar with the Capital City.
He would gain absolutely nothing.
But on the one hand, Jiang Qiao was an Awakened, so many things worked differently for him than for ordinary people. For example, he could sense supernatural auras, and he could identify which people were Awakened.
Besides that.
