Chapter 207 Plot 83 Red Frost Passes By
"Song Yi... he's gone just like that. I don't know what happened to Su Yan and the others." Bai Jin's voice seemed to be forced out from the depths of his throat, low and hoarse, each word having a broken texture, and a faint sob mingling with it. His eyes were red, and he stared blankly into the distance. "I thought..." His words stopped abruptly, as if an invisible sorrow had blocked his throat.
Jiang Yunjiu's heart was gripped by Bai Jin's words. She gently reached out and slowly took Bai Jin's hand, intertwining their fingers. Her palm was soft but strong. "Don't worry too much, we will definitely find them."
Jiang Yunjiu's words pierced Bai Jin's gloomy heart. Bai Jin slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Yunjiu. The sadness in his eyes faded slightly. He nodded vigorously, as if to cheer himself up, and as if to respond to Jiang Yunjiu's encouragement. "Well, with you here, I can do it."
Bai Jin couldn't help but hold Jiang Yunjiu's hand tightly, "Wife, wuwu, what should I do if I don't have you?" His voice was filled with tears. At this moment, he had completely lost his usual strength in front of Jiang Yunjiu. As he spoke, he thought to himself that maybe Song Yi just returned to the modern era by chance. After all, there were too many bizarre variables in the world they lived in.
Just as Bai Jin was immersed in his own thoughts, Jiao Yu rushed to the scene anxiously.
Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. When she saw Bai Jin and Jiang Yunjiu, she didn't even bother with the slightest politeness: "Where's Tai Ming?" Her voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and was even a little hoarse.
Jiao Yueling stood quietly beside Jiao Yu. Her sharp eyes had detected a mysterious and obscure aura emanating from the tower the moment she entered. It was an elusive aura, imbued with the power of their ancestors.
She stared at the mysterious tower, her eyes revealing a trace of thought. After a long moment, she slowly said, "Your Majesty, perhaps the little prince is not in any serious trouble."
Jiao Yu had been immersed in extreme worry about Tai Ming's safety. Hearing Jiao Yueling's words, she suddenly woke up and cast her gaze towards the tower. When she sensed a familiar aura coming from within the tower, her heart finally relaxed.
Her body relaxed slightly, and her originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, but a trace of worry still remained in her eyes.
Bai Jin stood not far away, observing Jiao Yu's demeanor. Seeing Jiao Yu's superior and overbearing demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He recalled the scene when Jiao Yu had left Tai Ming alone, and secretly retorted, "She left so decisively just now, and now she's scared? Someone like her isn't worthy of being a mother."
He did not show these emotions on his face, but a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
At this point, they had no choice but to wait.
In another mysterious space, the old man who had returned to his original state encountered unprecedented difficulties.
Before, he was out of control of his mind, running around like a headless fly. If he hadn't met 66, he would have died long ago. But who could have imagined that after meeting 66, his situation would become worse than death.
He was trapped in a square space, surrounded by darkness, unable to see his hand in front of him. What was even more terrifying was that the surrounding barriers were approaching him slowly but steadily.
The closer he got, the more he felt his space was compressed and breathing became more difficult.
At this moment, the old man's body had been squeezed out of shape, almost crushed into a cube. His face was full of fear and despair, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "66, find a way to get me out!"
66 shook his little head lazily. His head seemed to be filled with a chaotic mess as if filled with paste. He shook his head hard, trying to wake himself up completely from his drowsy dream.
His hazy vision gradually focused, and the miserable state of the old man in front of him instantly dispelled his sleepiness.
Old Man Qing looked extremely miserable at this moment. His entire body was squeezed to the point of being almost deformed. His limbs were tightly pressed against his sides, and his bones were creaking under the intense pressure. His face was distorted with pain, and his facial features were squeezed together. Sweat kept rolling down his forehead, wetting the small patch of ground beneath him.
"Oh, what should I do?" 66 muttered hurriedly, and these words were mostly to cover up the embarrassment of having just fallen asleep.
Its little claws were digging the ground rapidly, and it paced back and forth in this small square which had some space for movement relatively speaking. Its small figure looked extremely flustered.
Its eyes were wide open, full of anxiety and uneasiness. From time to time, it secretly glanced at the old man, afraid that he would see that it had just been lazy and fell asleep.
Old Man Qing was almost collapsed by the fatal squeezing. When he saw 66 finally wake up, it was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Hurry up and think of a solution. This barrier is going to crush me into a meat patty in the next second!" His body was squeezed so hard that every bone in it creaked. Every word he spoke seemed to use up all his strength, as if he would be completely crushed by this endless pressure in the next second.
66 listened to the old man's miserable cry for help, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. It turned around in the cube anxiously for several times, and its small body almost turned into a blurry shadow.
Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and a vague image flashed through its mind. It remembered that it had seen adults trapped before. At that time, the adults were trapped in a space very similar to this one, surrounded by the same kind of barriers that were constantly approaching.
66 tried hard to search his memory, his brows knitted tightly together, and his little head shook like a rattle. His eyes were filled with hope and anxiety, because he couldn't remember how the adults escaped.
"What's going on? I just can't remember it!" 66 muttered to himself anxiously, scratching his head with his little paws, wishing he could dig the memory out of his head.
The screams of the old man Qing and the sound of the approaching barrier continued to irritate its nerves, making it more and more panicked. However, the more anxious it became, the more blurred its memory became, as if it was deliberately against it.
Old Man Qing was so anxious watching from the side that his breathing became intermittent: "66, are you okay? It's been a long time and there's no movement!"
At this moment of despair, Hong Shuang happened to pass by. She was filled with confusion. How could anyone else be here? Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the old man and 66 trapped in the strange cube.
Hong Shuang had seen the old man dressed as a woman before, but she did not recognize the old man who was trapped inside and showed his original face.
She frowned, without staying for long, nor thinking about saving them, and just wanted to leave.
66 really couldn't think of a solution, so he accidentally saw that there was someone else here. Perhaps it was because Hongshuang's clothes that were gleaming in the dark were too conspicuous, which instantly ignited a glimmer of hope in him.
It screamed at the top of its lungs, "Help! Please, kindhearted people, save us!"
Hongshuang seemed not to hear 66's call, and continued walking forward without stopping.
Old Man Qing was trapped, so tightly that he didn't even have the chance to turn his head to see who this person was. He read his fortune, and the result made him resigned to his fate. He sighed deeply, his voice filled with sadness: "Alas, is this the end of my life?"
Seeing that the sister was indifferent to his call for help, 66 didn't care about anything else and directly cast his own innate spell.
A strange light flashed, and 66 and Hongshuang instantly swapped positions.
Hong Shuang only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye she was trapped in that small square.
However, this trap did not seem to work on her, and soon, the barrier that trapped her automatically retreated.
Hong Shuang snorted lightly, a half-smile on her face, her eyes revealing a hint of displeasure and sarcasm, and she said coldly: "Little guy, you are courting death. With just this little trick of yours, you dare to plot against me?" Her voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Cold Pond, making the air around them seem to drop several degrees.
