Chapter 198 Our Happiness

After the task was assigned, several people agreed, dispersed, and went to investigate the areas they were responsible for.

Han Jiangchen also walked up to Area E on the second floor that he was in charge of, and walked around. On the way, he passed countless temple fair visitors, and all he heard were the noises of families playing.

"Okay, happy new year!"

"Let's all have a happy new year..."

There are voices saying happy New Year to each other everywhere, and the greetings reveal the unique warmth and joy of the Spring Festival.After walking around, he still didn't see anything worth noting.

If it wasn't for the trembling talisman in his pocket, all of this would have seemed so normal.

With his current high-level cultivation of Qi refining, he can only feel the strange spiritual power pervading here, and he cannot directly lock the source of spiritual power like a foundation builder.But it stands to reason that if the source of spiritual power is really in this cultural center, it should not be able to escape his eyes.

where is it?
He squinted his eyes secretly, and was about to turn back to take a look, when suddenly there was a somewhat familiar voice beside him.

"Did you enjoy your shopping today?"

"Happy! Come again tomorrow!"

"Oh my little princess, this is too embarrassing for Dad..."

As soon as Han Jiangchen turned around, he bumped head-on into a family of four coming from the corridor: the leader was a man holding a little girl in his arms, and the girl was licking a sugar painting with the word "Fu" in her hand; beside them, a man wearing a big red jacket The woman on the other hand was leading an older boy, playing with an electric paper lantern.

Although he hadn't seen each other for a long time, he still recognized this family at a glance—or rather, he recognized the man at the top who looked like him.

When his parents divorced, he was sentenced to be raised by this man, but in fact he rarely interacted with his parents after he became sensible, and even rarely returned to his old home after going to school and living in school. After the remarriage, they gave birth to a son and a daughter. Both sons and daughters are blessed.

It seemed that they had just spent a day at the temple fair, and the whole family was full of red faces, as if they were going home for a New Year's Eve dinner.But the moment he saw him, the turmoil seemed to be extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

Both parties froze in place, staring at each other in the silent air, as if an invisible wall separated them from the lively scene around them.

"You..." The woman was stunned for a few seconds before forcing a smile on her face and saying to him, "Oh, it's Jiang Chen? Happy Chinese New Year."

She knew that her husband once gave birth to a fool who was possessed by an evil spirit.When she got married, the man promised her not to have too much contact with him, so she reluctantly agreed.

Over the years, she occasionally came to the door several times, and she held her nose and endured it. Who knew that when the New Year's Eve came to the Cultural Center for a meal, she suddenly ran into this catastrophe.

The little girl who was being held by the man on the shoulder was not sensible. When she saw Han Jiangchen standing there, she smirked and stretched out a small fleshy hand towards him. The woman quickly pressed it down and stared angrily at him. next to the man.

The man was obviously also quite embarrassed. He stood there, his face turning pale for a while, before he said, "Why did you come here? Didn't you say anything in advance, what's the matter?"

Han Jiangchen looked at his expression and hesitated for a moment: "There is something wrong."

"What's the matter? You're out of money again?" The man frowned, "Didn't I just call you a while ago? How can middle school students spend so much money, so why come here?"

"I'm already in college."

"Ah? Oh... yes, I remembered, it's time for college." The man suddenly realized, "Which school did you go to? Undergraduate or junior college?"

Han Jiangchen was about to answer, but the patience of the little boy with the lantern next to him had reached its limit, and he pouted and grabbed the man's skirt and yelled, "Dad, don't talk! Hurry up and go home and prepare to fire the cannon! I'm going to kick my ass!"

"Hey, okay, let's go back right away..." The man touched his head helplessly, and then said to Han Jiangchen, "Okay, I understand, the cost of living in college is high, just tell me how much you want this time. Today It's a big holiday, have you eaten yet?"

Han Jiangchen was silent for a moment: "Don't eat. I still have a task, so I have to go now."

"Oh, that's it, then go quickly." The woman next to her was as if she was forgiven when she heard this, "We are going home too, so I won't delay you, you should work hard."

"…it is good."

The family of four passed him and walked straight towards the exit of the activity and cultural center, in a hurry as if they were running away.

Han Jiangchen stood where he was, watching them disappear at the door.The lanterns hanging by the gate cast festive red lights, and the backs of the family were shrouded in warm light.

In fact, he suddenly wanted to say something just now... a very simple thing, and he can finish it in a few words: He is now a cultivator and a student of Kunlun University.For this reason, he was about to perform a very dangerous mission.If he really died in the battle with the demon in the future, he would like to ask someone to help him bury the jade pendant in the soil.

But he didn't know how to speak.

The cultural center was still playing lively festive music, crowds of people came and went around him, laughing and passing him by.He stood stiffly for a long time before turning around and walking towards the elevator entrance, going upstairs to check the situation on the second floor, but the laughter in his ear was getting louder and louder, and even the music was a bit harsh.

"Congratulations, Congratulations, Happy New Year... Singing and laughing happily... Congratulations, Congratulations, Happy New Year... What a wonderful world..."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a Happy New Year..."

He stopped suddenly, looked up and looked around.Just like before, all the people in the cultural center were smiling, and their faces were beaming under the lights, and the smiles seemed to stick to their faces.

"Haha, good! Happy New Year!"

"Let's all have a happy new year..."

They walked around the cultural center, greeted each other with smiles, said the same words as before, and looked very excited, as if they were immersed in a sweet dream.

……

……

…wrong!
Han Jiangchen suddenly woke up, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked a huge problem.

Why did the man's family appear here?

He is not from Ancheng, but from Jincheng.That man should be thousands of miles away in a neighboring province, and their behavior just now didn't look like they were on a trip at all, they were just going shopping and going home.

But the biggest question is——the flaw is so obvious, why did he accept it as a matter of course just now?
In reality, it is absolutely impossible for him not to notice such an obvious logical error.But just now he acted like... stuck in his own memory, dreaming a dream that belonged to the past.

Only in memories, all psychological hints will be exhausted to eliminate deviations from reality; only in dreams born of memories, all unreasonableness will be covered up.

He hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the man's family left, and those figures had disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never existed.

In other words, they didn't exist in the first place, it was just an illusion derived from his memories.

He looked around, found an electronic clock next to the big screen, and then found the second thing.

The clocks in the Cultural Center stopped.

Not only the electronic clock, but all the clocks that can be found in this field. All stop at 08:30.
