Chapter 175 Ruins Eye
Zong Fang obviously didn't believe her, and his way of verifying it was very direct. He bit his wrist on the spot. Seeing that the wound had not healed, he showed the most genuine smile in all these days.
Later, no matter how Qiao Susu tried to coax him, the man refused to give in.
She thought that the self-healing had transferred to her, which would make Zong Fang feel relieved, but Qiao Susu found that he was still very nervous the next day.
"No bleeding?"
She answered him for the fifth time, "No, Munakata, don't worry. Once in a while is fine."
Zong Fang frowned and said, "I don't believe your words at all."
Fortunately, he forced himself to hold back yesterday and didn't let her distract him, otherwise he would definitely blame himself today.
Qiao Suisui sat at the dining table, shaking her feet as she ate breakfast. She wanted to let this go, but then she heard the man ask sinisterly, "Besides self-healing, what other talents do you have?"
Her hand holding the bread froze. Oh my god, is this settling scores after the event? Isn't this a disguised way of asking her who else she has done this to?
Qiao Suisui gave a dry laugh and said, "No more, really, there's only this one."
Zongfang's eyes seemed to be half-smiled, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not. But after this incident, they both tacitly agreed not to mention it again. She didn't mention it because she was afraid Zongfang would misunderstand and cause trouble, and Zongfang didn't mention it because he really wanted to turn a blind eye to it. Some things, if known, would only make him feel bad. He had no way to deal with her.
That day, Sang Yan suggested taking her for a ride. She said hello to Karl and Zong Fang and then went out.
I thought I was going to drive out in a flying ship, but when I walked out, I saw a Dragon parked in the yard.
No, a dragon.
Sang Yan's wings spread out, suddenly covering the sky and the sun.
When Qiao Suisui saw a dragon for the first time, she looked up, stunned. This wasn't the Eastern dragon she'd seen in textbooks, but rather something resembling a dragon from Western fantasy worlds. Its body was covered in thick scales, each one like finely crafted armor, gleaming metallically in the sunlight. Its wings, spread wide and powerful, covered half the sky like a giant canvas. Each vibration sent a deep rumble through the air. Its claws were sharp as blades, seemingly capable of shattering rock with ease. Its tail was long and powerful, tipped with a sharp bone spur.
She was a little hesitant to move forward, but the next second, Long lowered his head and body, reverently lying in front of her. He swept the tip of his tail over, and after Qiao Sui Sui sat down, he slowly and carefully placed her on his back.
She grabbed the scales on his back and stood on it very steadily, as if standing on the top of a mountain, and her vision immediately broadened.
Zongfang was a little worried and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Karl.
"Let her relax. Sang Yan won't let her get hurt."
Zong Fang saw her smiling happily with her eyes shining. It was rare for her to look so energetic, so he swallowed all his worries.
Sang Yan carried Qiao Suisui over the Freedom Alliance. The wind blew from all directions, as if washing away all the troubles in her heart. She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle caress of the wind and the vibrations of the dragon's wings flapping.
She saw towering peaks, as if a giant's finger pointed straight to the sky, majestic and magnificent. The tops of the peaks were actually covered with white snow, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Her hair was messed up, but she didn't care. She just wanted to shout loudly, and she felt that her soul was completely integrated with the vast world of the Alliance of Freedom.
Looking down, the vast forest is like a green ocean, the treetops shimmering in the sun, the leaves rustling in the breeze. The river is like a silver ribbon, winding and twisting, the water surface sparkling like countless diamonds in the sun, and the water flows gently.
Qiao Suisui pointed excitedly into the distance, exclaiming repeatedly, "Sang Yan, what's that over there? What's that over there?" Then she remembered he couldn't speak, and only the roar of a dragon answered her. Sang Yan took her flying over mountains and rivers, sometimes high, sometimes low.
His speed was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow, but she still felt it was exciting.
During the flight, Qiao Suisui suddenly noticed a huge crack in the ground. It was bottomless, as if the earth had been split open. She pointed at the crack and asked, "Sang Yan, is this the Ruins Eye?"
Sang Yan let out a dragon roar in response.
"Can we take a closer look?"
Sang Yan slightly adjusted the angle of his wings and slowly descended, bringing Qiao Suisui closer to the huge crack. As the altitude decreased, Qiao Suisui could clearly see the edge of the crack, where there were jagged rocks, as if they had been torn and impacted by countless crustal movements.
She stared into the depths of the crack and vaguely saw a flash of blue-purple light, as if it was an endless abyss hiding unknown secrets.
How did Lan Ze get in and out of here? How did he do it? Why did he go in here? What's down there?
She leaned down and directed Sang Yan to come closer. Their altitude kept decreasing until they were almost flying close to the edge of the rift valley. At this moment, Qiao Susu suddenly saw her hands and body blur.
She thought she was dazzled and stared at her hands with wide eyes. After a few seconds, her hands disappeared and reappeared like pixels skipping frames.
"What's going on?"
Sang Yan noticed something was wrong with her and soared back up into the sky. The frame-dropping phenomenon never happened again.
Qiao Susu frowned and looked at the big crack below, her eyes full of confusion.
At the same time, at the bottom of the crack canyon, Lan Ze stood in endless darkness. It was so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat.
In the distance, the shadow of a door loomed ahead, like an eerie beacon guiding him forward. He approached the door step by step.
As the distance got closer, Lan Ze sensed that there seemed to be a vague figure inside the door.
The silhouette of the figure completely overlapped with his, and the body shape was exactly the same, as if it was a reflection of himself in a mirror.
Lan Ze's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his mental power was like his eyes, vibrating and shooting towards the person inside the door.
He 'saw' that person's facial features were exactly the same as his own, but the other person's face was full of traces of time, as if it was himself decades later.
In an instant, the surrounding darkness seemed to come alive, slowly closing in on him. His previous absurd suspicions were now confirmed. The old man sweeping the church floor was this person in disguise, and this person was himself?!
He stared at the figure intently, trying to see more details. The figure inside the door seemed to be staring at him as well.
"You're here after all." said the person inside the door.
Lan Ze subconsciously took a step back, but the door and the figure still followed him.
Is this an illusion, or reality?
When he tried to reach out and touch the door, his fingers just touched the surface of the door and passed through it as if it were nothing.
"It's no use. These are two different worlds."
"What do you mean?" Lan Ze suppressed his composure, stared at the person inside the door, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you say those things to me before? Why can't I predict it now?"
The person inside the door smiled nostalgically and asked excitedly, "Did you succeed? Did you stop her from leaving that world?"
Lan Ze frowned and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
The person inside the door just smiled at him, "I understand you. If I tell you those words, you will definitely change your fate because you are unwilling to accept it. Even if she hates you, at least... at least you won't be like me, guarding a world without her, trapped in endless waiting."
"Who is the 'she' you're talking about?" Lan Ze quickly stepped forward, trying to grab him out of the door, but his tentacles only dispersed a shadow.
"Go back and cherish the world where she is."
