Chapter 977 Chapter 19: There is always a way out
When Li Muhan came out of the nine-story pagoda that was about to collapse, carrying the almost unconscious Xia Yue on his back and holding the stone lion's head, the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau had already taken over the outside.
Director Feng Yang immediately walked up after seeing Li Muhan.
When he saw the situation of the two people, he frowned and then shouted behind him.
"Medical troops! Hurry!"
"No need, Director Feng..."
Li Muhan said in a hoarse voice: "She is fine, and I am fine too..."
Feng Yang's face looked very ugly, completely lacking the relaxed look he had before.
Li Muhan read something from his expression.
"What happened, Director Feng?"
"Shortly after you entered the tower, messages came from Mount Everest and Mirror Lake in Luoyun City. You... take a look for yourself?"
Feng Yang brought Li Muhan to the temporary command center.
On the control terminal, Li Muhan saw the message that Lin Ze and Jin Chao had recently sent from Mount Everest.
At this moment they were covered in blood, but it was not their blood.
Mount Everest is a trap. The passages here have long been destroyed.
In the picture, Lin Ze wiped the blood from his cheek and said while looking at the screen.
We can only hope for the other two passages.
Then came the Mirror Lake. Lei Jian and Bai Qi came here instead of Chang Yue and Li Chengtian.
The two also went through a hard battle, but the final result was the same as Mount Everest.
[Damn it! The door at the bottom of the lake has been destroyed! It's gone! I can only see the remaining two doors!]
Seeing this, Li Muhan felt a little dizzy.
The other two doors are gone...
They all placed their hopes on the Nine-story Pagoda.
The door of the Nine-story Pagoda is indeed still there, at least it was there when I went there.
But it was destroyed right before my eyes...
"Captain Li Kuo, I'd like to ask you something, but that door..."
Feng Yang asked cautiously.
“No more.”
Li Muhan lowered his head.
It was the first time he felt so powerless.
In the past, he felt that he could handle any difficulties he faced.
When facing Prometheus, Li Muhan won.
When facing Yuan, Li Muhan also won.
Even when facing the arrogant End and the Tara tribe, Li Muhan was even able to make a gamble with them through the fraudster, and he won in the end.
But now...
"Oh." Feng Yang sighed.
"The technology level of the Heavenly Court is still far ahead of ours. These bastards have been hiding it all the time, just waiting for today."
night.
Li Muhan rushed back to Pingjing City.
In the corner of the corridor, he whispered with his cell phone in hand.
"Dad and Mom are both fine, don't worry, especially you, Lingyue. You have to listen to your aunt, okay?"
"Well...your mother is sleeping now. I'll let her talk to you when she wakes up."
"It's okay, baby. Daddy is so awesome. There's nothing he can't do. Just be good and remember to do your homework during the holidays. If you don't understand something, ask your brother and don't cause trouble for your aunt."
"Okay... well, it's okay, Dad is just a little... tired, no, sleepy..."
Li Muhan slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
"Well, Daddy promised you that Mom and I would come back soon. Oh, you're already such a grown-up kid, why are you still acting like a spoiled brat? Okay, take care of yourselves... well."
After hanging up the phone, the phone slipped from Li Muhan's hand.
Xia Yue's condition has stabilized. After all, she is a member of the Tara tribe, and I can still help her.
But those members of the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau whom she rescued had been deeply corrupted and were beyond saving.
Xia Yue was also a little dazed after hearing the news. She sat in the room blankly, feeling the same powerlessness as Li Muhan.
At this moment, the Pingjing City Special Management Bureau and the central government are holding emergency meetings.
Everyone was busy, and even in this secluded corridor, people passed by from time to time.
When someone recognized that it was Li Muhan, they came forward and greeted him.
Everyone's respect and love for him has not faded.
Everyone knows that he has tried his best. After all, he is Li Muhan. How could he lose?
But he lost this time.
Went to the sky with Sun Yan, and Sun Yan was captured.
Go to the Nine-Storied Pagoda to find the way to heaven.
Not only was Yang Er not rescued, the door was also destroyed, and all the members of the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau were killed.
He sighed deeply and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Light one and hold it in your mouth.
There was a tiny light from a cigarette butt in the dark corridor.
Snap——
Suddenly, something flew towards him.
Li Muhan subconsciously caught it with his hand.
That's a can of iced coffee.
"You're so young, yet you're sighing and smoking like other people. If you don't know me, you'd think you're in your seventies or eighties."
"It's ironic that people in their seventies and eighties can still work as hard as I do."
Li Muhan smiled at Lin Ze.
At this moment, Lin Ze changed back into her black suit. She walked to Li Muhan and sat against the wall, but what she held in her hand was not coffee, but a can of beer.
"Why don't you give me a beer too?"
Li Muhan teased.
"Maybe it's because... children can't drink?"
Lin Ze turned around and looked at Li Muhan and smiled.
"Sister, I'm already this old."
Lin Ze leaned his head against the wall, looked up at the ceiling slightly, took out a cigarette box from Li Muhan's pocket, and lit one for himself.
"In my eyes, you will always be children, just like when I first picked you up. Each of you was a thorn in the side...you all refused to listen and thought I was trying to harm you, restrict your freedom, and smooth over your edges."
"Hey...wasn't this....when we were young."
"Aren't you young now?"
It’s because of youth... Li Muhan took a sip of coffee and smiled bitterly.
But I can no longer do what I used to do.
"Li Muhan."
Lin Ze raised her hand and put her arm around Li Muhan's shoulders, like a sister comforting her brother, letting him rest his head on her shoulder.
"Every time you fought before, winning was basically a miracle. You are very strong, but you stumbled along the way. Do you know why?"
“I’m not smart enough”
"The Tara tribe still says that understanding is insufficient?"
"Well, what else? Have you forgotten that there's a shame about the Tara people in Chuhe? And the Tara bloodline in Xia Yue's family doesn't seem to be very smart. Look at Xia Yue's children, Lingyue, look at Lingsheng, their IQ is so high."
"Are you trying to argue?" Lin Ze put a little more force into his arm around his shoulders.
"It hurts, it hurts, I'm just kidding, sis."
“So, miracles are miracles because they are rare and precious, but you can’t expect miracles to happen every time.”
"But...what should I do next?"
Li Muhan leaned his head on Lin Ze's shoulder, but he did not feel confident at all.
"Have you discovered something, Li Muhan?"
Lin Ze took a sip of wine and a puff of cigarette and said to Li Muhan.
"You've always told yourself, 'I'm going to do everything well, I'm going to save everyone,' but you've never said a word to the people around you."
"You never asked us what we should do next."
"Do you think that I, as your sister, am so unreliable?"
Li Muhan was stunned. He said after a moment of hesitation.
"Then... Sister, what should we do next?"
"Hahahaha, I don't know."
Li Muhan rolled his eyes, raised his head and looked at Lin Ze and said.
"Is the meeting over? Didn't they come to any conclusion?"
"No, all three passages have been destroyed, so now we have no way to reach the Heavenly Palace."
Li Muhan's eyes dimmed even more.
"What should I do then?"
"Let's break up. You go back to your Gao Laozhuang, and I go back to my Shuilian Cave. Let's divide the property of the Special Management Bureau."
"Why are you the eldest brother and I am the second brother?!"
Lin Ze threw away the cigarette butt and stood up. She stretched and said.
"Okay, I was just kidding, Li Muhan, there is another way."
Li Muhan became alert and quickly stood up and asked.
"What road?!"
"Ah, I can tell you haven't read enough ancient Chinese mythology. Let me ask you, in the myths related to heaven, are there any other places that we humans can see and visit with our naked eyes?"
Li Muhan scratched his head, then shook his head.
Lin Ze rolled his eyes at him, then leaned against the window, lit another cigarette, and then raised his chin to Li Muhan, motioning him to look at the sky outside the window.
Li Muhan walked to the window, then looked up at the vast night sky and the bright moon.
He suddenly understood.
"...Also, Moon Palace."
