At this moment, Jiguang City turned into a completely empty city, not even the City Lord remained.
Zhao Shuangming had also turned into light when he disappeared, dissipating into the air.
In that instant, Su Yu sensed that Zhao Shuangming had no energy within him, only a vast Nihility.
This indicates that this City Lord was also fake!
But earlier, when Zhao Shuangming appeared, he was imposing and showed no hint of being false.
"Other residents disappeared after coming into contact with Zhao Shuangming."
"Zhao Shuangming disappeared after coming into contact with me as well..."
"Was this Zhao Shuangming also fake?"
Initially, when Zhao Shuangming recounted those events to Su Yu, all his emotions felt incredibly real.
Even when Zhao Shuangming first appeared at four times the speed of sound, he was astonishingly imposing with no sign of falsity.
Yet, it seems he was indeed fake!
Moreover, even Su Yu was deceived, which seemed quite incredible!
After a moment of silence, Su Yu’s figure abruptly moved, retracing his steps back to outside the city.
At the city gate, where Su Yu had first landed.
Su Yu returned here, looking down at his feet.
"No footprints, no traces."
Earlier, when Zhao Shuangming appeared, he left footprints and scorched marks of lightning in the snow.
But now, they were gone, leaving only Su Yu’s footprints, with no trace of Zhao Shuangming’s.
In an instant, Su Yu was somewhat bewildered, questioning whether everything before was an illusion.
"This Jiguang City should be called Illusion City, shouldn’t it?"
Su Yu looked up at the Jiguang City before him, even doubting whether the city really existed? Was it not just an illusion?
"Nuonuo, Fear Intelligence, did either of you just see Zhao Shuangming?"
Su Yu asked his two major Angel Envoys.
When heading out, naturally, he brought these two major aides with him.
These two Mechanical Apostles both possessed self-awareness and were a seven-star class of special life forms.
Unable to discern the real from the fake himself, Su Yu sought their opinions.
Hearing this, Nuonuo quickly said, "Master, I only saw you talking to yourself just now, I thought you were on a remote call with Zhao Shuangming."
Fear Intelligence also said, "Master, I... I am the same. I didn’t see anything just now. Master, what happened to you just now? I am a little scared..."
Hearing this, Su Yu was slightly shocked.
Earlier, even Nuonuo and Fear Intelligence did not notice Zhao Shuangming’s existence.
What principle is this?
"Can you both see Jiguang City?"
Nuonuo and Fear Intelligence said in unison.
Su Yu nodded, it seemed that Jiguang City should indeed exist, not an illusion.
But then again, perhaps such an illusion could even baffle Data Life?
"Fear Intelligence, can you sense any fear emotions in the city?"
Fear Intelligence waited for a moment upon hearing this, then responded, "Let me sense... Master, I can’t sense any, no fear."
Su Yu nodded slightly, did not continue to ask, but moved forward again, entering Jiguang City.
He walked on the streets, observing everywhere.
He found that the city’s infrastructure, like electricity and water sources, were still functioning.
It was polar night, and the streets of the city were illuminated by bright streetlights.
Some plazas even had fountains, using electricity to melt the ice into water and spray it into the sky, reflecting the streetlights and auroras, appearing quite beautiful.
These facilities obviously had no one to maintain them, yet they continued to operate normally.
Su Yu suddenly attacked, punching a fountain by the roadside and blowing it up.
Water spouted high into the air, splashing everywhere.
Su Yu gazed at the fountain, waiting for a while without discovering any anomaly.
He turned around, about to investigate other places.
However, he turned back suddenly, looking at the fountain.
That fountain was standing there perfectly fine, reflecting the streetlights and auroras.
Su Yu watched for a moment, then glanced at his own hand, it was this hand that he had used to blow up the fountain.
But now, the fountain was restored in the blink of an eye.
Even the slight water stains on Su Yu’s fist had vanished.
With Su Yu’s keen awareness, he didn’t even notice how it restored in that instant.
"Nuonuo, Fear Intelligence!"
"Master, we didn’t see anything."
The two Mechanical Apostles quickly said.
"Not seeing anything, what do you mean by that? You didn’t see it when I blew up this fountain just now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu’s expression stiffened, and he continued to ask urgently.
"Did you strike, Master? No? You were just looking at the fountain for a while."
"Master, what are you talking about, I’m a bit scared..."
The two Mechanical Apostles quickly said.
Su Yu’s face darkened even more, and he pondered: "It seems, it might not be the city but my problem."
"Am I influenced? But Nuonuo and Fear Intelligence were not affected, is it a Spirit-based ability?"
Su Yu speculated that perhaps he was under the influence of a Spirit-based ability.
While Nuonuo and Fear Intelligence were special life forms, they didn’t have a ’Spirit,’ potentially allowing them immunity to such abilities.
However, another possibility was that Nuonuo and Fear Intelligence were also affected, making their words unreliable.
If that were the case, Su Yu’s speculation would be incorrect.
The more Su Yu thought, the more he felt he was trapped in a vicious cycle, unable to infer the truth through guessing alone.
"Then stop guessing!"
Suddenly, Su Yu’s face turned cold as the Brutal Battle Armor activated, taking off at twelve times the speed of sound, colliding fiercely with various buildings around him.
He intended to dismantle this city, to see if he could glean anything from it.
