Chapter 364 Countless Coincidences, Guided Routes

"What's the matter?"

Xu Ye opened his phone and replied quickly.

Fang Tianyu: "Brother Xu, you asked me to investigate the information of that mountain before, and I have found it!"

Xu Ye raised his eyebrows and showed a touch of joy, "Where is it?"

"This is a mountain located three kilometers outside the Black City. The locals call it Songfeng Mountain. It is about 627 meters above sea level. It is also a relatively famous mountain."

Fang Tianyu's message was replied quickly.

"There is a village called Songfeng Village about one kilometer away from the foot of the mountain. If you plan to go there, you can choose to stay in that mountain village."

After the disaster day, most of the cities in Longguo suffered a devastating blow.

In order to fight against the virtual demon, Longguo made a major change to the urban layout, merged many cities, and merged the county towns into the cities, and finally had the current fifty cities.

Among these fifty cities, several cities near the border and the coast are protected by Lingjing or some powerful Fengjing defenders.

In the inland areas, the strength of the defenders is slightly weaker.

The average threat they face is less than that of coastal cities and border cities.

Because of this, even after the merger of the cities, due to the existence of the four major families, the three major financial groups and the hunters, the gap between the rich and the poor has not decreased compared to before the disaster, but has even become more severe.

Many residents cannot afford to live in the city, so they can only choose to build villages in the suburbs of the city and the locations where the major counties were once located, and live outside the city.

Except for some farms, there are still military or city protection.

Many villages in many areas are not protected by the defenders.

Once these civilians encounter a sudden virtual state, they often die tragically.

About thirty years ago, the people of the four major families even planned to speculate on housing prices and engage in real estate trade, and in just two years, they successfully caused the city's housing prices to soar by 30%.

Fortunately, some knowledgeable people in the government made timely protests, which forcibly interrupted the behavior of the four major families.

However, it is this 30% surge in housing prices that has forced many people to move out of the city and live in villages on the outskirts of the city.

There are threats from the virtual demons outside, harassment from the virtual realm inside, and conflicts such as the four major families and the polarization between the rich and the poor.

Today, Longguo is also in a period of internal and external troubles, and it is difficult to move forward.

Originally, these conflicts could be suppressed because of the presence of Taotie.

But since Taotie disappeared fifty years ago, everything has developed in an uncontrollable direction.

The threat of the virtual demon is increasing, but the four major families still have no sense of crisis and are still doing the same things as before.

Under this situation, once the virtual demon launches an attack, it is hard to imagine what kind of situation Longguo will enter.

"The village at the foot of the mountain..." Xu Ye looked at the screen of his mobile phone and pondered for a moment.

Before he could reply to the message, Fang Tianyu sent several messages in succession.

"By the way, Brother Xu, when I was investigating this mountain for you this time, I also found some things."

"Do you remember that you asked me to check the information of your classmate named An Lan for you before?"

"When I found the information about Songfeng Mountain, I also found that An Lan also had some connection with this Songfeng Mountain."

"You mean An Lan?" Xu Ye immediately became interested and replied immediately.

"That's right." Fang Tianyu said, "According to the investigation data, he was found and taken in three years ago in Songfeng Village."

"Later, due to a certain incident, his ability awakened and broke out early, causing quite a stir."

"He was therefore sent to Black City for examination, and the academy discovered his SS-level ability."

"It was precisely because of the special nature of his ability that the academy directly admitted him as an exception."

"I see!" Xu Ye showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

After the entrance examination, he asked Lian Shou for An Lan's personal information.

But in that information, only part of what An Lan encountered was recorded, and the specific location was not marked.

The information provided by Fang Tianyu now corresponds to the information he was watching at that time.

Xu Ye has not forgotten that he owed An Lan a promise.

During the entrance examination at that time, he and An Lan reached an agreement, so that An Lan helped him "defeat" Zhou Li and made him get the first place in the entrance examination.

Xu Ye, who always attaches great importance to promises, naturally will not forget this matter.

"By the way, Brother Xu!" Fang Tianyu's message continued to arrive, "There is some other information about Songfeng Mountain."

"About a few months ago, someone witnessed a strange phenomenon on Songfeng Mountain."

"Longxia College also learned about this matter and sent some assistants to investigate, but found nothing."

"Since the strange phenomenon only appeared once, it was also classified as a rumor or an accidental event."

"You suddenly asked about this mountain, but you don't know the relationship between An Lan and Songfeng Mountain, so I guess your original purpose should be related to this strange phenomenon?"

Xu's eyes moved slightly. In stark contrast to Fang Xin, who was very nervous, Fang Tianyu was extremely smart and sharp, and he quickly guessed his purpose.

"That's right." Xu did not hide it, but responded lightly.

"I see." Fang Tianyu's message was replied very quickly, "If that's the case, with your brain, Brother Xu, you definitely wouldn't ask me for a 'rumor'."

"You should have confirmed that there is something on that mountain."

"Indeed." Xu Ye responded.

"That's perfect." Fang Tianyu sent a smiley face emoticon, "I know a professor whose research direction is related to Juebao or energy!"

"If you need it, Brother Xu, I can introduce him to you."

"I helped him complete a project before, and he shouldn't refuse my request."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"OK, let's contact each other later!"

Xu Ye put down his phone and stared at the screen thoughtfully.

Coincidence.

Too coincidental.

Everything is coincidental and unreasonable.

He wanted to find the mountain in the photo, and the mountain happened to be related to An Lan, and he and An Lan had an agreement.

The strange phenomenon appeared on Songfeng Mountain, and it happened to be related to the fragments of the Jiuli Pot he wanted to find.

Fang Tianyu, who was searching for information for him, happened to know such a professor who could help him.

A coincidence may be accidental.

But the combination of multiple coincidences seemed to turn into countless threads, guiding him and forming a necessity.

And the key to these coincidences is Tang Tan!

If he hadn't been investigating Tang Tan's affairs, he wouldn't have cooperated with An Lan, nor would he have left that promise.

If he hadn't been looking for Tang Tan, he wouldn't have been so anxious to find the fragments of the Jiuli Pot, and there would be no photo.

But can the Tang Tan he knows really use such countless methods similar to the butterfly effect to guide his every decision?

Xu Ye frowned, and every time he thought of this, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

This step-by-step approach, guiding him every step of the way he was going to take, even so familiar with his own feeling...

It was as if another self was guiding his own path!
