Street lights with black iron carvings sprinkled warm lights, and the figure of the bee floated past the crowd like an inconspicuous fallen leaves without leaving any ripples in the pedestrians.

She came to a shop at the end of the block. Outside this shop was hung with the "Three Towers" emblem that foreign merchants must hang when opening shops in Violet. In the display window, you can see various novel groceries from the other side of the strait. At this moment, a wooden sign was hanging on the door of the shop with the words "Suspension of business".

Bird Feng's eyes stayed on the wooden sign that "suspended business" for a second, and then pushed the door and entered.

The store was empty and due to the suspension of business, there was no customer inside. There was only a young man in a dark coat sitting behind the counter and packing up his mess. Hearing the movement from the door, the young man raised his head and found that it was the bee, he seemed relieved and nodded slightly.

"Why did you suddenly put up a sign that was suspended at this time?" Quefeng quickly walked to the counter and said in a low voice, "Also, where is the 'store manager'?"

"The store manager went to the North City District," the young man kept paying attention to the movement near the door, and whispered casually, "Today I received an order from the bureau. The Violet Kingdom has been affected by serious extraordinary visions. All contact points have suspended activities and are preparing to evacuate. The store manager plans to collect some information as much as possible before evacuation."

"... Ready to evacuate?" A hint of astonishment appeared on the face of Bifeng. "The situation is so serious? Then we are here..."

"It's worse than you think. All the operators in Lenghaicheng lost contact and no news came back," the young man wiped the shiny ornaments on the counter, his movements seemed smooth and natural, but his tone was particularly serious. "They were sending messages normally a day ago, but suddenly there was no news, and they didn't even send out the 'whistle' that should have been sent in the most emergency."

"The whistle was not delivered?!" Bifeng could hardly believe what he heard. "There are all well-trained operators and carrying the most advanced communication equipment. How could they just lose contact quietly?"

"...The biggest possibility is that the vision has spread to Lenghai City, and local operators sacrificed all without having time to respond. And in fact, it is not only our intelligence personnel who have lost contact, but the entire Lenghai City has lost contact... it is the entire Lenghai City." The young man temporarily put down his work and looked up at the eyes of Feng Feng. "Some ordinary Loren merchants who do business in Lenghai City have also broken contact with the mainland. Since yesterday, the communication stations on Beigang have never received any magic network signals from Lenghai City.

"This morning, I saw the spies from Tifeng people hurried to No. 23 Xicheng Street. I suspected that they had noticed an abnormality and began to prepare for evacuation."

Bird bee widened her eyes, but in just two seconds, she forced herself to calm down, and at the same time she understood the order of Director Amber to evacuate. Although the evacuation order was very sudden, although "the evacuation of all contact points because some intelligence personnel suddenly disappeared" seemed a little impulsive, and although it was regrettable to give up the foundation that had finally been managed here, she knew that this was a last resort.

Visions are happening, which are large-scale changes caused by incomprehensible magical powers or other extraordinary powers, rather than conventional intelligence secret wars, public opinion confrontations or special infiltration. The latter is a field that military intelligence agencies are good at, but the former... has exceeded the "work scope" of ordinary intelligence personnel. Such professional matters should be handed over to professional teams.

In fact, when she realized that Plandel was being affected by the extraordinary vision, Feng Feng thought that she was most likely to receive the order to evacuate, but she did not expect that she would come so early this day. In recent times, this "extraordinary vision" did not show any substantial harm, but now the situation has taken a sharp turn.

However, even if there is no such layer, as long as Director Amber's order is issued, Bird Feng will still unconditionally choose to implement this is the iron rule of all Military Intelligence Bureau operators.

"This is no longer a front for intelligence activities. Our mission is over. The director said in his order that the Violet Kingdom will be treated as an "anomaly area" to deal with," the young man shook his head and his voice was low. "But here is still an independent 'kingdom' from the surface. We cannot take any military action against it until it shows its invasion and hostility to the alliance... There will be an elite steel ranger team and two extraordinary vision countermeasures experts to take over our work, and they are experts in investigating and fighting extraordinary visions."

Que Feng nodded slightly, then said as if he was talking casually: "I met Torig on the way back and talked to him for a while."

"Torig... is that mage apprentice who lives in the inner city?" The young man thought for a while and quickly matched his name in his mind. "What have you all talked about? Have you discovered a new situation?"

The bee had a serious expression: "Do you remember that Torig had an uncle? It was a witch living in Palansanto. I deliberately mentioned this person in the conversation. Torig seemed to have no idea that he had such a relative, and even didn't even know the existence of the inland city of Palansanto. His spirit was obviously confused and blank, and then he directly 'skipped' our topic..."

Bird Bee told the situation he encountered today. The young man behind the counter frowned slightly, and after a moment of thinking, he whispered: "For this period, there have been fewer and fewer news about the 'inland' in the city of Plandel. People no longer talk about anything related to inland cities like Thousand Towers or Palan Santo. Trade goods, letters, visitors from inland cities... all of this kind are disappearing, but until today, the situation has not been as strange as you mentioned just now. At least when we take the initiative to mention inland with ordinary people in this city, they will still answer normally...

"But now, a local resident has obvious mental abnormalities when talking about this topic..."

"It gives people the feeling that Violet's 'inland' is gradually being stripped from this kingdom, or being wrapped in some kind of 'cocoon'," said Bird Bee in a low voice, "There is some kind of force that is 'deleting' all the information related to the inland, and even preventing ordinary people in the border areas from talking about and recalling inland cities like Thousand Towers... Is this a kind of barrier? a barrier in cognition and memory?"

"...I feel worse than that," the young man shook his head. "Today I went to the center market to investigate the origin of Matilan wine in the city. You should know that until noon yesterday, this wine could only be transported from Lenghai City. And at the same time, this wine is not a local product of the Violet Kingdom. It was produced by the Gray Elf merchants in the winery opened by Lenghai City. It is a product of the "localization" of Momolin honey wine. But since noon yesterday, this wine has become Plandall's "local specialty".

"I bought a bottle of 'Matilan' in the central market and put it on the shelf on your left. Open it and take a look."

Bird Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked up and saw the bottle of wine placed on the shelf. The dark brown bottle was marked with the mark of a brewery in Prandel City. She reached out and took the bottle over and found that the bottle plug had been opened once. After pulling it out, she immediately noticed something wrong. She didn't smell any of the wine.

"Is this...clear water?" She sniffed the liquid inside carefully, and then tasted a small mouthful at the reminder of her colleague, with a look of surprise on her face, "Is it clear water when I buy it?"

The young man behind the counter nodded: "Yes, but the locals didn't seem to notice at all. They traded water as wine, and there were people in the market who were drunk, but the other things that were 'transformed' into local products were not like this.

"After the pine cheese becomes a local specialty, it is still cheese, and after the icy dew wine becomes a local specialty, it is still wine after the icy dew wine becomes a local wine, and there are various other things that originally rely on inland transportation to become local goods now... Although their 'set' has changed, the things are at least still real, and only this Matilan wine... has become clear water outrageously."

"Why is this happening..." Bifeng was a little surprised and confused for a moment, and then a guess appeared vaguely, "Is it because... although this thing is produced in Lenghai City, its source is the moss and forest honey wine brought in by the gray elf merchant. From the basis, this is a completely 'thing other than violet'?"

"This is the only difference between Matilan wine and other replaced goods," her colleague nodded. "It gives me the feeling that there is something huge...'rules' that are controlling this change. This rule can affect everything that originally belonged to Violet, can erase the existence of Palan Santo from the memory of Plandel's residents, can turn the specialties of one city into local goods of another city, but...thing outside the Violet Kingdom jumps out of this system, and it cannot 'copy' things that do not exist in its own system, so the Matilan wine brought to this country, which turned into clear water in the central market of Plandel."

The scene described by the other party made Bird Bee feel strange and fearful, and a conceived scene suddenly popped up in her mind. If Cecil's merchant opened a factory for the production of magic devices in a seaside city outside Plandel and was exporting goods to other cities, what would it look like after the vision happened now?

Will there be "local-produced" magic devices appear in the central market? Then, because the "rule" that causes vision cannot copy things outside the Violet system, those "magic devices" become a bunch of weird empty shells?

She told her what she had imagined, and the young man behind the counter thought seriously and nodded slowly: "It's not impossible... If our guess is correct, the abnormality that happened to Mathillon wine would obviously happen to other things similar to each other. But we are destined to be unable to verify this.

"Apart from those grey elves with super-action power, no Loren has successfully built factories or other things in the Violet Kingdom. All the ‘foreign goods’ on the market are shipped directly from Loren via the mainland route, and naturally there is no ‘error replacement’."

Bifeng nodded, then she seemed to suddenly react to something. She subconsciously looked up at the mechanical clock hanging on the opposite wall, and her tone became a little nervous: "How long has the store manager been out? Is there a security signal in the middle?"

"He went out six hours ago," replied the young man behind the counter, and then seemed to suddenly react, "...he shouldn't have been signaling without signaling for such a long time...especially when extraordinary visions have appeared in the city."

While speaking, he took out a brass-shelled pocket watch from his pocket, pressed the button to open the cover, and all the pointers on the seemingly normal dial were fixed at 12 o'clock and remained motionless.

The young man's expression changed slightly. He quickly pressed the button three times. The dial of the pocket watch immediately opened with a snap, revealing the movement below, as well as the delicate and complex runes and fine crystal structures around the movement. One of the small crystals was emitting a slight red light at this moment, and the light flashed as if it had an uneasy rhythm.

This is a contact tool dedicated to the military intelligence agencies, and it is a miniaturized communication device that can be achieved with current technology.

In order to reduce the size and enhance safety, this small device does not have a complete magic network terminal function, but can send and receive specific rhythm signals through vibration, humming, etc. Through early encoding, these signals can transmit important information. At the same time, the rune array inside its movement can also be used to monitor the operation of other operators' communication equipment.

"… The 'store manager' may be in trouble," the young man suddenly raised his head and looked at the same serious expression of Fengfeng, "I can't track his signal reaction here."

"It is also possible that I have encountered an emergency and have to switch to silent mode and don't send him a signal rashly." Bifeng said quickly, and then it seemed that she suddenly noticed something, and suddenly turned around and looked towards the direction of the store window.

At some point, there was already a thick fog outside the window.

Everything on the street is shrouded in thick fog. The carriages parked on the roadside, the outlines of the buildings opposite, and even the street lamp posts that are close to each other. Everything has turned into a hazy and gloomy phantom in the thick fog. It is vague and cannot be seen clearly. Only the warm light emitted by the street lights lit up in the fog, like sparks floating in the fog, vaguely outlining the direction of the street.

And in this thick and weird fog, the bee did not see any pedestrians.

The heavy fog of course hinders people's travel, but it's more or less strange that no one can see on the road, especially the 100% sure. At least two minutes ago, when she swept the window from the corner of her eyes, she didn't see such heavy fog. There were pedestrians on the road for two minutes. What happened to this city in just two minutes?!
