Chapter 93: Peeping in the Dark (Alliance Leader’s additional update: The name doesn’t need to be long, mine is just right)
At this moment, Li Yi was walking alone in the old city.

The turbid air, the narrow alleys, the streets that never see the sun for several days, and the damp and fishy smell that always lingers in the nose, everything is so familiar, but to Li Yi, everything seems like a lifetime ago, a little strange, as if these are all different from what he remembers.

The environment has not changed, and the old town is still the same old town.

The only thing that changed was Li Yi himself.

He is no longer the poor boy who struggled to survive. Now he is a practitioner with awakened psychic powers. In addition, he has joined the Investigation Bureau, has a good identity and background, has a fortune of 50 million, and even owns a building.

Even if Li Yi did not rely on the incomplete rare item, the Knife Coin, he could still live well and go further on the path of cultivation alone.

Because he relied on the White Bone Contemplation practice to force his own practice value to 420%, he became a practice genius.

This kind of becoming stronger does not rely on external things, but on oneself, so Li Yi does not have to worry about losing it all one day, so he feels at ease in his heart, without the uneasy sense of urgency he had before.

"This time I took the initiative to expose my cultivation value. It is worth it in the long run. I believe that with my 420% cultivation value, the Investigation Bureau will definitely pay special attention to me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, my status in the Investigation Bureau will become higher and higher in the future. Moreover, such a cultivation value can also cover up the problem of my too fast cultivation speed and completely dispel some people's doubts about the strange things on me."

Li Yi was still thinking about what happened today. "But in the short term, I do have to take certain risks. After all, such a high cultivation value may arouse jealousy and hatred. Some practitioners who have grievances with the Investigation Bureau may come to trouble me."

"But those are just some minor problems. My cultivation speed is very fast. Once I open my inspiration and become a practitioner of the inspiration realm, I will be able to gain a firm foothold in Tianchang City. Naturally, troubles will not dare to come to me."

He thought of the group of people who had come to him before and wanted to force him to buy his boxing skills.

If Li Yi was also in the spiritual realm, he could knock down each of those three little bastards with one punch, and he would not be afraid of the so-called threats at all.

"So, the remaining thing for me is very simple, that is to continue to work hard on practicing and improving my strength." Li Yi said secretly in his heart.

Although he left the training base early and returned to the old town, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he took a detour and went to another place.

Peace Financial Building.

This was one of the assets given to Li Yi by the Investigation Bureau as a reward. Although he had not officially received it yet, he felt it necessary to come and see it in advance. At least he had to know the specific location and understand the general situation so that he could move in later.

at dusk.

Li Yi came to the downstairs of the building alone.

The surrounding ground is overgrown with weeds and nearby greenery is growing wildly. It is obvious that no one has taken care of this place for a long time. The building is also deserted and covered with dust. I don't even know if the elevator in the building can still operate normally. Many places in the building are in a rough state. If you really want to move in, you will have to spend a lot of money to decorate and prepare it.

Li Yi didn't say anything, but went into the building alone.

The elevator was out of service, so he had to climb the stairs.

He easily climbed to the top thirty floors.

When I walked into this floor, it was empty and the ground was still concrete.

But through those huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Yi can almost overlook the entire old city, and if he looks to the west, he can also see the night view of the river passing through Tianchang City.

"It's quiet in a bustling city, with beautiful scenery. It's very suitable for cultivation. I will hardly be disturbed during my cultivation. Besides, my safety is guaranteed. If I encounter any danger, I will hide in this building and it will be difficult to find me. If I move in alone, I don't need to prepare too much. I just need to clear this floor and settle my parents."

Li Yi is very satisfied here, he likes staying on the top floor.

Because the air here is fresh, the place is spacious and bright, warm and dry, without the darkness, crampedness, dampness and stench of the old city.

He didn't have any other ideas. He just wanted to use this place as his place of practice and didn't plan to do anything with the building.

Although it is a bit extravagant, Li Yi now has the capital to be willful.

With this thought in mind, Li Yi went downstairs and left the building. Before it got completely dark, he immediately rushed back to his hometown.

Not knowing if it was because his body was evolving towards the next stage, Li Yi felt that his five senses were sharper than before. His ears could hear farther and more subtle sounds, and he could smell some smells that he couldn't normally smell. However, when it came to smells, he frowned slightly at this moment.

Because he smelled a faint stench of corpse on the street.

Li Yi didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, deaths in the old city were common, and he knew that before.

But after walking for a while, he found that the faint smell of corpse was still there and did not disappear because he moved.

This situation made Li Yi stop involuntarily.

Generally speaking, even in the old city it is impossible for the stench of corpses to be everywhere. If the death rate in the old city is really that high, the order here would have collapsed long ago. How could it be maintained?

"Is there something nearby?" Li Yi couldn't help but have such a terrible guess in his mind. Then he immediately raised his head and looked around, trying to search for something suspicious.

He now has activated his spiritual power, his eyes are shining brightly, and he can see many things that ordinary people cannot see.

People are coming and going around, everyone is in a hurry and doesn't want to stay outside for a long time, especially now that it is almost nightfall. Most residents are in a hurry to go home, because people living in the old city often hear that someone in a certain community has disappeared at night, or someone has seen something strange at night.

For ordinary people, darkness is a taboo, and only practitioners have the confidence to act at night.

Li Yi has been in the old town for many years and is very familiar with some of the living habits and styles of the old town.

His sharp eyes swept over the people around him one by one, trying to find the source of the unusual smell.

But there was no gain, Li Yi did not find any clues.

He felt somewhat confused and a little uneasy.

"Since there is nothing found, let's go home quickly." Some intuition made Li Yi realize that he should not stay outside today, and should go back to accompany his parents.

The community where Li Yi lives is relatively safe. Apart from the fact that he killed Ning Wu and his gang a while ago, there have been no reports of anyone disappearing mysteriously or dying under strange circumstances for several years.

Immediately, he quickened his pace.

"Something is really wrong. That thing is still nearby. It can't be so unlucky as to be in the same direction as me."

Even after Li Yi quickened his pace, the faint stench of corpse still did not disappear and he could still smell it.

In the past, he would never be able to smell this smell and would simply ignore it.

But now, Li Yi is evolving towards the next realm, his five senses are strengthened, which makes his ability to discover unusual things also become stronger.

soon.

Li Yi arrived at the gate of the community smoothly.

Seeing the familiar environment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm already a medium-level practitioner, but I didn't expect that I would be so nervous."

Li Yi touched his forehead and found that he had broken out in a cold sweat without knowing when. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering if he had killed too many people recently, seen too many unclean things, and was overly nervous.
It seems that I really should take a good rest for a few days and relax. I shouldn't be thinking about going on missions to make money every day.

Quickly entered the residential building.

Li Yi looked back a few times, and after making sure that there was no problem, he opened the door and returned to the familiar house.

Although the room was full of potholes and a mess from practicing boxing, it was still the home where he had lived for many years.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Li Yi went to the bedroom as usual to greet his sleeping parents, and then checked the consumption of nutrient solution and the operation of the medical cabin.

After making sure everything was alright, he returned to his room.

After drinking a cup of golden nutrient solution, Li Yi stopped thinking about what happened just now. He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, pinched the treasure seal with his hands, practiced the White Bone Contemplation technique, and entered the state of practice.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

At this moment, it is eight o'clock in the evening.

The neighborhood was silent.

However, at the gate of the community, a strange figure suddenly appeared. This figure avoided the illumination of the street lights, hid in the darkness, and stood still. With the appearance of this figure, the stench of corpses around seemed to become a little stronger.

However, Li Yi, who was practicing, didn't know all this.

Until ten o'clock at night.

The stiff figure standing in the darkness finally moved. It walked straight into the community. When it passed the street lamp at the entrance, its full appearance was not revealed. Only a pale arm covered with corpse spots flashed by under the light.

　Let’s post it together today.
