Cultivation Pet Shop

417 Chapter 417

As Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen made their way through the city, they noticed that it was completely different from the city outside.

The first major difference was that there weren't any ghosts that were wandering around the city.

Lin Fan had been careful by sending out Brainy's rat puppets made of corpses since with how sensitive the ghosts were to life force, the living puppets would have been discovered quite easily. But that was an unnecessary worry because there were no ghosts to be found.

As they carefully made their way through several streets, there wasn't a single ghost that had been found.

It was like this city was completely abandoned.

However, after searching for ghosts, the second thing Lin Fan did was check out the buildings that made up this city. The inside of the buildings were also different compared to the outside city.

Instead of being completely empty like it had been with the outside city, the inside city's buildings were all filled with furniture and various other items that made it seem like there were still people living here. Even in one of the buildings, Lin Fan had found a table that still had warm food on it, meaning that there had been someone cooking not that long ago.

Could it be that there were other people in this city still?

Lin Fan immediately released even more puppets when he saw this and did a full sweep of the area, but Brainy was still unable to find a single thing.

Without being able to find a thing, Lin Fan was very unwilling to move from this spot even though Mo Ze Chen was clearly getting impatient. However, since Mo Ze Chen had already swore to follow Lin Fan, he had no choice but to sit there and wait.

Mo Ze Chen might have been impulsive, but that didn't mean he was an idiot. He at least knew that the warm food here meant.

But after thirty minutes, they still couldn't find anything.

It was only then that Lin Fan suddenly realized something.

When he went back to check the food, he found that it was at the exact same temperature that it had been when he had first checked this food.

As he sent his spiritual sense in to verify, he was certain that there wasn't a single degree drop in the temperature.

But how has it been able to remain the same for this long?

Not to mention that it shouldn't have just remained like this for the time they had been here, it should have been like this much before they arrived. Perhaps even for thousands of years it has been like this…

After a pause to think, Lin Fan reached out to grab the bowl of soup that was placed on the table in front of him, but there was a surprise waiting for him when he tried to pick it up.

As soon as his hand grabbed it and he lifted up, he was met with a force that he couldn't match at all. No matter how much force he used on the bowl of soup, it wouldn't budge at all. There wasn't even a single ripple on the surface of the soup itself as it hadn't moved at all.

Lin Fan looked down at the soup with a confused look before suddenly covering his hands with three different laws and trying to lift the soup.

The moment the glows of the three different laws appeared on Lin Fan's hand, there was a silver glow that suddenly appeared around the bowl of soup that protected it from Lin Fan's laws.

Lin Fan carefully looked at it and after a bit, he revealed a surprised look since there was a familiar feeling that came from this silver glow. It was a feeling that he had felt many times before since it had always been there when he had died.

This silver glow was the glow that came from the use of time laws, which meant that time law had been infused into this bowl of soup which was why it was frozen in place. That meant that as long as Lin Fan didn't use a law that was stronger than the time law infused into the bowl of soup, he wouldn't be able to do a thing to it.

After debating what to do, Lin Fan withdrew the three laws back into his body and began using a different power. There was a suction force that suddenly came from his hand that was holding the bowl of soup.

However, the moment the suction force touched the bowl of soup, Lin Fan felt a strong backlash coming from it and he was forced to stop using the suction force.

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at this bowl of soup in shock.

The last time he had felt backlash like this was when he tried to absorb the laws of Momonga and Angela. This backlash came from trying to absorb the power of laws that were much stronger than his own power, which meant losing control over them and causing them to lash out at him in self defense since he was trying to suck them in.

However, that was only when Lin Fan had tried to suck in a sliver of the laws that Momonga and Angela had, which was much weaker than their real power.

Still, the laws in this bowl of soup was enough to match the backlash that the two of them had caused Lin Fan, which meant that whoever put the laws into this soup was beyond the realm of this upper realm.

Lin Fan gave up on the soup and immediately went around looking at all the different pieces of furniture in this building. As he walked around, he found that not a single piece of furniture had a single speck of dust on them. It was almost as if they had been completely sterilized, but that also didn't make sense since there weren't any panes on the windows of the building. Even now, Lin Fan could feel a wisp of wind blowing into the building.

With the ground outside, it was impossible for dust to not be blown into this room, which meant there had to be something that was stopping it from landing on the items in the room.

As Lin Fan was carefully looking over the furniture, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help thinking that Lin Fan had gone crazy. As far as he could tell, all the things here were just normal pieces of furniture, so what was Lin Fan doing?

Mo Ze Chen couldn't help moving over to where Lin Fan was and asking, "Boss, is there something wrong?"

Of course, what he meant to say was "is there something wrong with you?", but he couldn't say that to Lin Fan's face.

Lin Fan didn't respond at all to this, he didn't even notice Mo Ze Chen speaking since he was focused on studying the furniture in front of him.

Mo Ze Chen couldn't help being more worried when he saw this. After all, he was depending on Lin Fan to free the girl of his dreams from her prison, so he needed Lin Fan's help and not for Lin Fan to lose his mind in the middle of this.

Mo Ze Chen kept asking Lin Fan questions, but he completely ignored Mo Ze Chen.

After looking over the various pieces of furniture, Lin Fan finally raised his hand and released the suction force from it. As soon as the suction force came into contact with the chair that was in front of him, there was a silver glow that appeared around the chair.

Once again, Lin Fan felt the same backlash as he had felt when he had tried to draw in the laws that were contained inside the bowl of soup. However, Lin Fan had learned his lesson and weakened his suction force, so the backlash wasn't as strong.

After doing this with the chair, Lin Fan continued forward without any hesitation and did the same thing with various other objects in the building.

Even if Mo Ze Chen was worried, he could still see that something was up when he saw the same silver glow appear around every single object that Lin Fan touched, so he fell silent and watched.

After a while, Lin Fan didn't stay in this same building and immediately moved to the next building.

When he arrived in this building, Lin Fan went to the first object he could see and used his suction force. Once again, there was the same reaction as the building that he had just been in.

The same silver glow and the same backlash.

Lin Fan threw that object away immediately, moving on to the next object in the house.

He went through the same process with several different objects before moving onto the next house.

Just like this, again and again, he used the same method to test the objects in every single building that he visited and again and again, he received the same reaction.

The same silver glow and the same backlash.

It seemed like every single object in this city had been infused with time law and frozen in time.

But who would do such a thing and who was strong enough to cover a whole city in time laws just like this?

Based on what Lin Fan had felt, he was also certain that the laws contained within each item wasn't weak. At the very least, it had surpassed what the limits of this upper realm should be.

Just what was this city?
