Li Yuebai couldn't speak anymore, he just knocked on the invisible barrier with his fist in despair.
It feels cold and hard to the touch, like ice that has been frozen for a thousand years, and also like the most solid bulletproof glass.
Through the barrier, one can see Ye Qing standing there quietly, not seeing him for a few days, his eye sockets are sunken, his complexion is very bad, very tired.
Li Yuebai panicked, he couldn't control the strength in his hand, he smashed hard, and with a cracking sound, a wound was cut on his hand, and blood flowed on the transparent barrier.
The strong smell of villa's blood permeated the air.
Perhaps, that tiny crack in the barrier really played a little role.
Because Ye Qing suddenly turned his gaze to this side.
He noticed it! Li Yuebai's heart beat wildly.
Ye Qing's eyes were full of confusion, he walked over here.
The closer he got, the colder Li Yuebai felt.
It can be clearly seen that Ye Qing's originally pale skin has become even paler, withered like dusty white snow, and it can even be seen that several horrible cracks appeared on his originally smooth skin, slender and slender. On the hands, the blue blood vessels can also be seen clearly, and there are also hideous bite marks and wounds on the arms.
What did he go through...
"System." Li Yuebai roared in his heart: "How can I break the barrier? How can I get out of this illusion?"
"Ah, ah, didn't I tell you everything? As long as you obey Gao Chengyu's arrangement and kill Ye Qing's phantom, it will be fine." The system yawned.
"Tell me another way."
"There are other ways." The system is rarely so straightforward: "That is - kill the caster. Unfortunately, your marksmanship is too bad, so the crow escaped."
Gu Xisha's close-range marksmanship is definitely not bad. Not long ago, Li Yuebai used this kind of marksmanship to instantly kill several of Wang Ju's subordinates. When he shot at the crow just now, he also concentrated all his attention , It can be said to be quite a wonderful shot.
The reason why the crow was able to escape was because its mana was too superb—it was already quite a powerful vampire who could create such a perfect illusion, and it was impossible to be killed by a single shot so easily.
Thinking about it the other way around, if the crow was so easy to kill, then it wouldn't put itself on the window sill in a big way, and would hide in a safe place from the beginning, not giving Li Yuebai any kills. own chance.
Now, Li Yuebai injured it and consumed a lot of its mana, causing a small crack to appear in the barrier. This is already a huge bargain.
"There must be a third method." Li Yuebai raised his right hand to his mouth and licked the wound: "There must be."
"I know what you're thinking." The system sneered: "You want Ye Qing to help you break the barrier from the outside? Wake up, it's impossible, how can he break something he can't see?"
"Really not?" Li Yuebai's eyes froze.
Indeed, it is impossible for Ye Qing to break this barrier, even if he is a vampire, even if he is a joker, he has no idea where the barrier is.
"Don't underestimate the vampire's enchantment. The enchantment can only be completely destroyed from the inside. People outside can't do anything." The system's tone was full of sarcasm: "To tell you the truth, Ye Qing didn't treat you at all when he came here. help, he can only wait outside in vain."
"..." Li Yuebai bit his injured right hand and started pacing back and forth.
"Dear host, you wasted another hour." The system kindly reminded.
In the dark tower, even the crows on the empty window sills no longer exist, only Li Yuebai is struggling to support himself, the cold system in his mind is constantly mocking, stumbling, and testing his strength. psychological bottom line.
Such a scene is not only desolate, but also desperate.
Li Yuebai stopped, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
It's okay to be desperate, at least you can see the person you want to see through the barrier, which is enough.
"System, sometimes you are really..." Li Yuebai smiled and shook his head: "... Be honest!"
The system froze for a moment.
"Dear host, I think that according to human standards, it is more appropriate for you to describe me as cunning or cruel." The system panicked: "Honesty? Why do you say I am honest?"
The system is not a human being, but it also has a certain degree of self-knowledge, knowing how its bad behavior has hurt its dear host time and time again, so it can feel this cruel pleasure.
"In this world, you avoid my questions again and again, ignore my requests, play word games, deliberately create misunderstanding and confusion, and even once killed the people I value most."
"Yes, yes, dear host, I admit it."
"But." Li Yuebai smiled: "There is one thing you have never done."
"What?"
"lie."
"..." The system was really choked this time, like the king in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, who was exposed by his subjects for not wearing any clothes, or like the sphinx in Greek mythology, who was guessed The most important answer.
"You won't lie, everything you say is the truth." Li Yuebai paused every word: "You just like to take apart the truth, mess it up, and hide it in meaningless words, which makes me misunderstand .”
"..." The system let out a grievous whimper.
"But as long as I don't misunderstand, the truth can't be hidden." Li Yuebai stretched out his hand and tapped his temple: "I'm sorry, dear system, I have written down every word you said .”
"Dear... dear host, it's useless for you to remember so much..." the system flattered: "A lot of things I said are actually just meaningless words..."
"It's meaningful." Li Yuebai deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to coax the child: "Special, very meaningful."
"..."
"For example, just now, you told me an important fact." Li Yuebai reached into his pocket and squeezed out a black crow feather: "Just after I injured the crow, you told me—the caster Only the caster can escape from the illusion created by the spell."
This sentence was said by the system in order to hit him and completely prevent him from escaping.
"Then, dear system, the barrier is right in front of my eyes." Li Yuebai pointed to the cracked barrier: "Guess, can this crow feather pass through the barrier? It's part of the caster..."
"Well, even if this can explain something... Dear host, what exactly do you want to say..." The system began to stammer.
"I don't want to say anything, I just want to say hello to my Ye Qing."
"..."
Li Yuebai had no time to play with the system anymore, he closed his eyes deeply, and with a wave of his hand, the black crow feather pierced the barrier like a sharp arrow or a dart.
With a flash of white light, the hard barrier turned into a soft pool the moment it touched Crow Feather, and even ripples appeared—Crow Feather easily penetrated the barrier and passed into another world.
On the other side of the barrier, Ye Qing just blinked his eyes a little, and saw a black crow feather appear out of nowhere in the air.
He stretched out his hand subconsciously, letting it dangle in the palm of his hand.
It's a crow's feather. Although I don't know what it means, I can smell it, and there is a familiar smell on it.
Just now, this familiar atmosphere appeared.
"Li Yuebai?" Ye Qing clenched the feather tightly, quietly looking at the place where the feather floated out.
The moment Li Yuebai saw the feather float into Ye Qing's hand, Li Yuebai almost cried.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he met Ye Qing, and he never thought that it would be such a special way of meeting.
There was crow's blood on the window sill, dark red and sticky, and there were more than a dozen feathers scattered beside it, not many.
"System, tell me, if I hold the feathers in my hand." Li Yuebai collected the feathers one by one and looked at them carefully: "Will the barrier allow me to pass through?"
"Hahahahahahahaha! Dear host, you are a bit out of the ordinary!" The system was still in panic just now, but now it heard this sentence, and immediately began to laugh proudly: "Indeed, feathers are part of the caster, and they can wear It can penetrate the barrier, but it is impossible to cover you out, it can carry a piece of light paper at most! You? It is impossible for ten thousand years!"
"A piece of paper?" Li Yuebai smiled: "That's enough."
He picked up the piece of parchment on the ground and quickly cut a small piece from it.
The moment it was cut, it seemed that the mournful sound of parchment was heard.
The weight of parchment paper is heavier than that of ordinary paper. If you keep a complete sheet, it may be too heavy to pass through, so you can only cut it.
Li Yuebai rushed to the window sill with the small piece of paper, took a crow feather, dipped it in the crow's blood, and wrote a few words on it as quickly as possible.
He didn't stop to think about what to write, only to keep it short as quickly as possible.
"To Xiaoye, I brought you a bottle of water, it's outside the door on the first floor."
"Dear host, what are you writing...?" The system had no time to panic, but fell into confusion again.
What is the difference between such a message and the small note pasted on the refrigerator in an ordinary rental house
It was obviously at the critical moment of life and death, after so many bloody things, and the only chance to meet again, to exchange important information, Li Yuebai just wrote: I brought you a bottle of water
Are you a cheerleader next to the basketball court? Would you like another towel? Dear host
The parchment was dipped in the blood of the caster's crow and pasted with the crow's feathers, so it was easily taken through the barrier.
Ye Qing took the piece of parchment that appeared out of nowhere, just glanced at it, turned around and walked down the stairs without hesitation for a second.
He couldn't be more familiar with Li Yuebai's characters, no matter how weird the request was, he would follow it.
The world Ye Qing lives in is the real world, the door of the Seven Star Building in the real world is not firmly closed like in the enchantment that Li Yuebai is in, but is always open.
Outside the door, among the broken rocks with weeds growing, there is indeed a bottle of drinking water hidden in the depths quietly, no one will notice at all.
The brand is the most common Nong x mountain spring, the bottle cap has been unscrewed once, and there is actually a seal with Li Yuebai's signature on it.
The drinking water inside is clear and transparent, and looks no different from normal drinking water.
Ye Qing returned to the barrier with the water bottle, and cast doubtful eyes on the place where the crow's feather and parchment floated out.
He could faintly feel that that place was a passage, and Li Yuebai was on the other side.
He threw the letter to himself, but he didn't ask for help, he didn't let himself break the barrier, but he just gave himself a bottle of water.
What does it mean
It's just for you to drink, don't think so much, silly boy.
Li Yuebai was secretly worried through the barrier.
Sure enough, he usually cared too little about his apprentices.
If he had always taken the route of serving tea and drinking water, asking about his health, Ye Qing wouldn't think so much now.
In fact, it really doesn't mean anything.
It's just seeing him thirsty for too long, and it hurts.
