Chen Chu looked along the inner wall of the "ice and snow cage", almost inch by inch, but after going around several times, he did not find anything.
Unable to find the exit, Chen Chu thought about breaking it by force, but he tried to attack the item several times and found that he could only break it by himself. But if he died, even if he broke the item, Lin Yan would still die at the hands of the Blue Flame leader without his protection.
"Senior, have something to eat." Lin Yan handed a piece of bread to Chen Chu.
Lin Yan hid the bread in the storage props in advance, because she would be swallowed into the sub-space from time to time. Lin Yan was afraid of being hungry after entering, and she had storage props, so she habitually hid some food in the storage props. This time, in order to enter Chishui, she bought a lot of food in advance, but she didn't use it in Chishui, but used it here instead.
"Thank you." Chen Chu took the bread but didn't eat much. He subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall.
In half an hour, the traffic accident penalty will be triggered again, but he still hasn't thought of a solution.
Seeing Chen Chu staring at the clock again, Lin Yan knew what he was thinking. In fact, she was also a little scared. It's not like she had never experienced life and death before, but the previous life and death happened in an instant. By the time she reacted, it was over. But this time was different. The time to wait for death was too long.
"Actually, I should have died half a year ago." Lin Yan suddenly said something without thinking. When Chen Chu looked over, she smiled and continued, "Really, when I had a car accident half a year ago, I should have died at that time. You think I survived because of my awakened superpowers, but it's not true. It's because I got something."
Chen Chu recalled what Chief Lan Yan had said before: "What is the thing Chief Lan Yan wants?"
"Yeah." Lin Yan nodded. "If I didn't have this thing, I would have died at that time, and I wouldn't have joined Group 6, and I wouldn't have been able to find a job with such a high salary and so few jobs. Although it's a bit dangerous, I quickly earned enough money to buy a house. In my original plan, buying a house was something I would do ten years later. I would save enough for a down payment in ten years, and then slowly pay off the loan. After thirty years, the house would be mine. So, in just over a month, I have earned enough money for the next forty years. If I die, the company will also provide a pension. By the way, how much pension can the company give?"
Lin Xi pretended to be relaxed and asked Chen Chu, but Chen Chu responded with a look that was even more serious than before.
The smile on Lin Xi's face faded, but she still said, "What I mean is, even if I die tomorrow, I've already made a profit." So, don't be too sad.
"Kill me." Suddenly, a slightly hoarse female voice came from behind the two of them. They turned their heads and found that the ice sculpture belonging to Feishuang had melted a little at some point, revealing its head.
"Feishhuang?" The two were startled and ran towards Feishuang together, "Feishhuang, how do you feel?"
Feishuang's eyelashes were covered with frost. She opened her eyes tremblingly, and she looked extremely weak.
"Kill me." The first thing Fei Shuang said after opening her eyes was to ask Lin Yan to kill her, "One... one day."
Lin Yan understood immediately that Feishuang was going to sacrifice herself to buy her another day: "Impossible."
"You... you can't... die." Feishuang seemed to be in great pain, and her voice was intermittent, but she still insisted, "Buy... time, the headquarters... will... save you. We... all... are... willing."
The purpose of the Kunlun team on this trip to Hai Province was to protect Lin Yan. Director Guan said that even if they all died, Lin Yan could not die. At this time, they were useless, and their only role was to buy time for Lin Yan. Eight people, eight days, Feishuang believed that Director Guan would definitely find a way to rescue Lin Yan.
"Stop talking. I won't kill any of you." Lin Xi flatly refused.
"I… "
"Stop talking." Lin Yan interrupted Fei Shuang and said quickly, "If I kill one of you just to live one more day, then what's the difference between me and the Blue Flame leader?"
Killing people, especially her own comrades, Lin Yan couldn't do it. Moreover, she felt that the Blue Flame leader did it on purpose, deliberately leaving behind the ice sculptures of the Kunlun team members and deliberately telling her how to exploit the system bug. His purpose might be to lure her into killing people and make her become like him.
Or maybe, as long as I kill someone, the system will automatically disengage.
When Lin Yan thought of this, she asked the system in her heart: "System, if I kill Feishuang, will you take the initiative to leave?"
After asking, Lin Wei waited for a while. As she expected, the system still did not answer.
After the Blue Flame leader left, the system also fell silent. During the day, Lin Yan called the system several times, but the system seemed to be turned off and did not appear no matter how she called. If it were not for the props in the system that were still there and she could open the inventory at any time, Lin Yan would have suspected that the system had betrayed to the Blue Flame leader.
"We... volunteer." Feishuang still insisted. Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Lin Yan simply blocked her ears and turned away.
Feishuang's eyes were full of anxiety, but she was too weak. After just a few words, the frost that she had cut through with great difficulty covered her again, climbing up inch by inch from her neck.
“Chen Chu…” Fei Shuang saw that she was about to be frozen again and could only look at Chen Chu anxiously. However, as soon as she called out Chen Chu’s name, frost climbed up the corners of her mouth and she could no longer speak.
"I won't let her die." Chen Chu replied in a low voice.
Feishuang's eyes lit up, and then his entire face was covered with frost again.
Chen Chu turned around and looked at Lin Yan, who was sitting on the bed with her back to him and covering her ears, and made a decision in his heart.
With a "crash", a black and gold bamboo stick tube suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes. After shaking gently, a bamboo stick fell out.
[Chen Chu, male, 24 years old, has a bloody disaster.]
Senior Chen Chu is in danger of a bloody disaster. Is the Blue Flame leader planning a sneak attack
Lin Yan was anxious, and turned back to shout at Chen Chu: "Senior, be careful, I predicted that you will have a bloody disaster."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task. I will reward you with a little merit and 0 yuan for divination."
Lin Xi was stunned. She had earned merit points.
But before she could be happy, she saw Chen Chu, who had just been reminded by him, suddenly have his arm cracked and blood spurting out.
Lin Yan stared at the scene in a daze. She froze in her tracks even though she was about to rush over. This was because she had just seen the thing that cut Chen Chu's arm. It was a wind blade. When the wind blade attacked Chen Chu's arm, Chen Chu didn't even move.
At that moment, Lin Xi understood that Chen Chu did it on purpose. He cut himself on purpose and created a bloody disaster for himself so that she could complete the divination.
"You..." Lin Xi wanted to ask why, but after she said just one word, her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"I'm fine." Chen Chu sighed. It would be great if he could transfer the damage secretly like in a car accident. But Lin Xi had to do the divination herself. Even if he wanted to do it secretly, he couldn't.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xi couldn't hold back any longer and tears burst out.
"I can't let you die before me." He promised Lin Yan in the space channel that he would protect him, "and this is the smallest price."
Compared to killing the members of the Kunlun team, his injuries were nothing.
Lin Xi understood all this, but she still felt uncomfortable.
"Is there any bandage in your storage items?" Chen Chu raised his bleeding arm and stretched it towards Lin Xi with a wry smile.
Lin Xi finally reacted and hurriedly took out the medicine box from her storage items.
Chen Chu knew that only by asking Lin Yan to do something could he alleviate her inner guilt, so he sat obediently and let Lin Yan apply medicine and bandage his wounds in an unskilled manner.
Lin Yan looked at the wound that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and the bleeding that could not be stopped after pressing for a long time. She said with guilt and resentment: "Even if you want to create bad luck on purpose, you don't have to be so cruel to yourself. A light cut will be enough."
"I'll pay attention next time." Chen Chu replied good-temperedly.
"Also..." Lin Xi was about to say that she hoped there would be a next time, but when she thought about the environment they were in now, and that the next time would come tomorrow, she shut up sullenly and concentrated on bandaging the wound.
Chen Chu sat still, thinking about how long he could hold out. If he got a few more wounds like today, he would be seriously injured. Yes, he didn't give himself such a big wound because he was careless or inattentive. Because only this level of injury can trigger divination.
When the Blue Flame leader said that bad luck can actually be artificially created, Chen Chu was thinking about what to do. Just now, Lin Yan sat there with her back to him, and Chen Chu kept experimenting in his mind. He tried again and again, from the beginning of only using the wind blade to break the skin, to the depth of the wound being one centimeter, two centimeters... until it deepened to the current level, and Lin Yan's divination system was triggered.
When Lin Yan turned around and told him about the danger, Chen Chu knew that he had succeeded. So he acted without hesitation and used the wind blade to create the wound, fearing that if he was too slow, the divination would not count.
Fortunately, it works.
"Why can't the bleeding stop? Isn't it said that the higher the level of superpowers, the stronger the body's recovery ability?" Lin Xi changed the gauze several times, but the bleeding on Chen Chu's arm still didn't stop.
"It may be related to this cage." Chen Chu lied without blushing or panting. In fact, he felt that his arm could not heal easily because of some kind of rule force, and this force had nothing to do with the "Frost Cage". Chen Chu guessed that this rule force probably came from the thing on Lin Yan's body.
Is this a punishment for my own bug? Just punish me, as long as it works.
Lin Xi pressed for ten minutes and used a large amount of hemostatic drugs before the bleeding stopped. Then she carefully bandaged Chen Chu's wound with a bandage.
"Do you think the officials know where we are being held?" Lin Xi asked Chen Chu while sitting with her knees hugged.
"They may already be outside." Chen Chu said optimistically.
Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "It must be very cold outside right now. Do you think there is a possibility that Xiao Wen follows the people from the headquarters to find us, and then because it is too cold, his tears are frozen and fall on this prop."
As Chen Chu described, Lin Xi imagined the scene of Xiao Wen crying because of the cold, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Chen Chu saw her smile, he laughed out loud too.
"Although it's unlikely, this scene is really funny," said Lin Xi.
It is said that time passes quickly when people are bored, but to Lin Xi, it felt like a day passed in the blink of an eye. After Chen Chu created a wound deep enough to see the bone for the second time, no matter how dumb Lin Xi was, she could tell that Chen Chu did it on purpose.
This time Lin Xi said nothing, and didn't even cry. She just silently helped Chen Chu bandage his wound.
"Maybe tomorrow, Xiao Wen will cry." Chen Chu tried to ease the atmosphere.
Lin Yan glanced at him silently and asked directly: "If Xiao Wen doesn't come, how long can you hold on?"
Chen Chucheng said: "Two days at most."
This is under the premise that the Blue Flame leader did not take the initiative to attack. He was injured twice, and the "Frost Cage" restricted his communication with the energy of heaven and earth. His superpowers were greatly damaged. At this time, he was no longer a match for the Blue Flame leader. But if he fought to the death, at least he sent me away. But if he was injured again, even if he blew himself up, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the Blue Flame leader.
Is there really no chance
Lin Xi thought about it, and suddenly took out two boxes of self-heating hot pot from the storage items.
Chen Chu looked at Lin Xi in surprise.
"This is the most delicious food in my storage. If we still can't get out in two days, we'll eat it." Lin Xi said, "Before I die, I have to have a hot meal."
In the past two days, they had only eaten bread, biscuits and other things. Lin Xi hadn't eaten anything hot for a long time.
Chen Chu looked at the two boxes of spicy beef hotpot again and said with a smile, "That makes sense."
"You take a rest first, I'll go to negotiate." Lin Xi said, and suddenly walked to a chair beside and sat down.
Negotiation? And that thing
Chen Chu guessed correctly, Lin Yan was indeed going to negotiate with the system. The system seemed to have disappeared in the past two days, and no matter how she called it, it would not appear. But Lin Yan knew that the system must still be watching, and she had to call the system out again. At this time, the only thing that could break the deadlock might be the system.
"I don't know why you suddenly refused to communicate with me, but since you didn't take the initiative to break away from me, it means that you don't want to, or you haven't chosen Chief Blue Flame yet." Lin Yan said to the system in her heart, "Your goal is to revive Tianyu. For you, the outcome of my revival and Chief Blue Flame's revival is the same. Maybe twenty years ago, you didn't dislike Chief Blue Flame's behavior, but you had to make such a choice due to the constraints of the Earth's Heavenly Dao. But have you ever thought that if Chief Blue Flame revived Tianyu, for the sake of immortality, the revived Tianyu would still be the same Tianyu as before. At that time, it would be impossible for Tianyu's world consciousness to change the rules. Maybe it won't be long before Tianyu will repeat the same mistakes and collapse again. You came from Tianyu, carrying the hope of the entire Tianyu, just to bring a savior like Chief Blue Flame to Tianyu?"
"What do you want me to do?" The system finally spoke again.
Lin Xi was delighted. The system was willing to pay attention to her, which proved that what she had just said had touched him. The system also did not want the Blue Flame leader to go to Tianyu: "The 'Frost Cage' is your tool. You must have a way to break it."
"Originally, I stored a few drops of astrologer's tears, but they were taken away by Yan Mingxuan. In fact, he had noticed my dissatisfaction with him a long time ago, so before I left, he took advantage of loopholes in the rules and took a lot of things from me." said the system.
"You are so useless." Even a great system can be cheated sometimes.
"I trust him too much, and he is too smart. He is the host I carefully selected." When the system was first bound to Yan Mingxuan, it really felt that Tianyu would be revived soon.
"I am also your host." Lin Xi was depressed. We are all hosts, so why is there such a big difference in treatment
"It's different. You are my choice out of helplessness." The system said the original purpose of choosing Lin Yan, "Yan Mingxuan knows me too well. After I broke away from him, he has been trying to control me again."
"You can also be controlled by others?" Lin Xi was shocked.
"As long as you understand the rules well enough, you can control it." said the system.
Lin Yan understood. Because she trusted Blue Flame leader too much before, she foolishly told Blue Flame leader everything, and was eventually controlled by someone else. Then it came into her hands. Because she was cheated by a scumbag, she no longer believed in love.
"It turns out you were once a naive person." Lin Xi complained.
The system continued without further explanation: "Without a host, I could not stay on Earth for long. In addition, my energy consumption was too great at the time, so I had no choice but to return to Tianyu. I hibernated for twenty years and accumulated some energy before returning to Earth again."
The system must come, because the purpose of its existence is to revive the sky.
"Yan Mingxuan sensed it as soon as I returned to Earth. He was already a Venerable, and he had too many props on him that were taken from me, so it was very easy for him to lock me. I was forced to do so, so I had to bind myself to someone as quickly as possible. Only by binding myself to someone could my aura be eliminated. And at that time, you were the only person near me who was about to die." said the system.
"Wait? Are you trying to say that you chose me in order to save me?" Lin Wei asked.
"No, it's because you are dying soon, so you will bind to me in the shortest possible time." The system was being hunted at the time and had no time to make multiple choices.
“…” This answer is very true, but it is really heartbreaking.
Lin Xi decided not to bother with the system. After all, this was the system that saved her life.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to ask you, is there any way to help us get out of here?" Lin Yan asked and then said, "Don't say no, I know you must have a way."
The system was silent for a moment, then replied: "I can send out a message once."
The system can actually transmit messages to the outside, so why did they wait for so many days? If it had been transmitted earlier, they would have left here long ago.
Just as Lin Yan was about to get angry, she heard the system say, "But after delivering the message, I will go into hibernation again."
Lin Yan was stunned: "Will you break away from me?"
"No." The system said, "It's just that I will no longer be able to respond to any of your messages, and you will not be able to get new props from me. Even if you trigger the car accident penalty again, I will not have the extra power to repair your body, and you will die directly."
"Is that all?" Lin Xi asked. If that was all, there would be no need for the system to remain silent for two days and ignore her. Lin Xi didn't think the system cared about her life or death.
"More than that." The system continued, "If I hibernate on Earth, Tianyu will sense my weakness and will continuously inject energy into the Earth to ensure that I can wake up. The process of injecting energy may cause collisions of space debris."
"What do you mean? What happens after space debris collides?"
"The collision of two worlds will cause space collapse." said the system.
Lin Xi took a breath.
"Immediately?" Lin asked.
"One month, the space fragment closest to the Earth can reach the Earth in one month." The system said, "So, once I go into hibernation, you must revive Tianyu within one month and awaken Tianyu's world consciousness, otherwise both worlds will be in danger. So, is the message still being passed on?"
In the end, the system gave the decision to Lin Yan. It wanted to revive Tianyu, but it also didn't want the revived Tianyu to be under Yan Mingxuan's control. In the past two days, it has been secretly calculating and concluded that Yan Mingxuan has a greater chance of winning. In its calculation program, it must unconditionally choose the party that is more likely to revive Tianyu. But Lin Yan is her host, and the party it must choose. So it can't make a choice and can only remain silent.
But in the end, it still responded to Lin Yan and told her how to get out of trouble. It didn't know why it was like this. As an emotionless system, it only needed to follow the set program.
"Pass it on!" Lin Xi thought for a moment and decided to pass the message on.
The system must not fall into the hands of Blue Flame leader. Once he gets the system, he will definitely revive Tianyu completely, and then the earth will fall apart under the destruction of catastrophic props. If we choose to pass on the message, even if we are unlucky and cannot revive Tianyu within a month, the space debris will only partially hit the earth.
Even if some parts of the space collapsed, most of it could still be preserved.
What's more, if everything goes well, it may not be impossible to revive Tianyu in a month. After all, all five catastrophic props have come out.
Lin Xi did not go to discuss it with Chen Chu, because she knew that the leader of Blue Flame must be eavesdropping outside. If the leader of Blue Flame knew that the system could transmit messages to the outside, it would be difficult for the people who came to rescue them to get close to here.
So, a few minutes later, Qingkong, who was reading a book in the office after the holiday, suddenly saw the book turned into stone. Not only did the book in his hand turn into stone, but there were also two words written on it: [Help! ]
Qingkong covered his slightly swollen right eye, wondering why his supernatural power was suddenly out of control. At this time, the computer that his left eye scanned also turned into stone, with five big words written on it: [Tears of the Prophet.]
Qingkong subconsciously closed his left eye, tried to open his right eye, reached out to grab his phone, and then the phone became petrified. Four big words appeared on it: [I am Lin Yan.]
“…” Blue sky.
