A beam of light appeared at the edge of the safe zone in the distant mirror area, growing brighter and brighter.
Ye Shaoheng's armor underwent another transformation, becoming more robust and conforming more closely to the human body. Golden patterns were engraved on the armor, and his cloak billowed behind him, with golden stars dancing on the crimson cloak. The steed beneath him seemed to have been infused with a soul.
"Captain Ye, are we really leaving?" someone asked timidly, following behind Ye Shaoheng.
“If none of you leave, I must leave too. My country is waiting for me, and I must protect them.” Ye Shaoheng stared straight ahead: “I must move forward.”
“But you will die,” someone couldn’t help but say. “Once you came back covered in wounds…”
"But I will definitely succeed, I believe it." Ye Shaoheng said with a determined look: "Before the light comes, someone has to light up the darkness, but there is a sun behind the dawn, and the dawn will never end."
“I believe in Sister Yin, she believes in me, so I must believe in myself.” Ye Shaoheng murmured, “This is the difference between sunset and dawn.”
One was the determination to die, the other believed that he could live and lead everyone forward.
"Nan Zhu, let's go." Shi Yin stood on the railing and reached out her hand to Nan Zhu: "Although I have my own methods, you may only have half a life left after you get out."
"Brother!" Nan Zhu turned around, but Nan Zhu casually plucked the strings of his zither, instantly blocking Nan Zhu from view.
It was only a few steps, but it felt like rowing against the current, and I couldn't move forward another step.
Shi Yin: "Nan Zhu! Come here quickly!"
Nan Zhu: "Little bamboo! Be good!"
The two spoke almost in unison.
Ye Shaoheng felt as if he had been injected with a stimulant, and his whole body became excited. He charged forward, and even the light of his charge shone brighter, completely protecting the ordinary people behind him.
Nan Zhu pursed her lips and took Shi Yin's hand.
Shi Yin had a strange feeling. At this moment, Nan Zhu seemed to resonate with his surroundings. His emotions were very strong, like cold water boiling.
Nan Zhu's zither playing was beautiful, soothing and gentle, flowing smoothly and naturally. At that moment, the phrase "the ancient melody of the zither is Youlan" seemed to have come to life.
Shi Yin grasped Nan Zhu's hand and lifted her into the air. Nan Zhu looked up and met Shi Yin's gaze in a flash.
After a moment of stunned silence, a gentle smile appeared. Her fingertips plucked the strings, producing soft, melodious music. Shi Yin didn't know what piece it was, but it was very beautiful, gentle and lingering.
Please keep moving forward, don't look back.
Immediately afterwards, there was a feeling of weightlessness.
Above the doomsday beacon, the long-calm, purplish-black fog suddenly churned, the commotion so great that it jolted everyone awake from their sleep.
Many people drew back their curtains and looked outside, where they saw a dark purple unidentified object churning wildly in the night sky. Then it shone brightly, as if a luxurious firework had been thrown in, exploding into a dazzling display of light.
"Get them! Get them!"
Lin Beiyue hurriedly directed the superhumans to frantically catch the people falling freely from the sky.
"ah!"
"Help!"
Despite the screams, everyone was caught as Shi Yin had instructed beforehand.
In mid-air, Belfinger revealed a ferocious face.
At that moment, the people who emerged from the mirror world suddenly realized that they seemed to have just fallen out of the belly of this ugly monster!
At this moment, Belfinger's face was contorted with rage. His purplish-black face was shattered into pieces, revealing dense, spiderweb-like patterns of light. He opened his mouth wide, revealing terrifyingly pale fangs, each one resembling a small building.
"Impossible, impossible!" Belphegor desperately covered his face. "Why, Lu Cun! You betrayed me, you won't live either!"
No one answered; no one could answer it.
Belfinger saw the golden bow, its sharp light aimed at its head, the golden light so bright it seemed to strike down the sun.
"Shiyin! You can't kill me! We..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
In fact, it wasn't as glamorous as Belfinger had imagined.
The golden light shimmered with a long trail, but the arrow was so thin that everyone only felt a tiny beam of light shooting straight into the sky. The purplish-black mist in the air seemed to have been blown away by a giant and vanished instantly.
Until Belphegor completely disappeared, no one around him had any idea what had happened.
They felt as if Shi Yin had only fired one arrow, without even sensing any danger.
"Alright, let's go back." Shi Yin clapped her hands, quite satisfied: "As long as we can get through the next five days, the blizzard will be over."
"thump!"
Something crashed to the ground nearby, making a series of metallic clanging sounds. When everyone turned around, they saw that Ye Shaoheng, who had just been supporting himself, had fallen face-first to the ground.
The armor disappeared, revealing Ye Shaoheng's tattered clothes and the intricate red markings on his arms.
Immediately afterwards, those who had just emerged from the mirror world also experienced a sudden blackout and fell backward. Once the first one appeared, another followed, and soon they all collapsed to the ground with a series of thuds.
The world in the mirror is just an illusion; the food and drink are fake, merely misleading the brain into thinking it is eating, thus preventing the perception of hunger.
In that illusion, people's perception of time becomes very blurry. They feel that several months have passed inside, but in reality, only two or three days have passed outside.
But if it goes on any longer, a few more days, they will really die of thirst and hunger.
Unbeknownst to them, while everyone thought they were dying of old age in the illusion, they had already died unnaturally in a very short time.
It wasn't easy for them to get out.
First, Shi Yin weakened and assimilated a portion of Belphegor's power in a special form. Then, Ye Shaoheng's power reached its peak the moment he obtained the imprint, with the assistance of Lu Cun.
Tokine was merely the final touch.
"Take him back and see how many people survived." Shi Yin glanced around and found that Nan Zhu was still standing in the same spot without falling down. She understood that it was probably his older brother who had sent him on his way.
Nan Zhu's provocation did wash away a lot of Nan Zhu's negative attributes. However, many things are innate. Even if Nan Zhu's perception of emotions is much better than before, it is only slightly better than before. Nan Zhu's starting point was too low.
How far can it go?
Shi Yin roughly understood what Nan Zhu was thinking. Perhaps Nan Zhu wanted to become the older brother, or perhaps he had always been curious about why the older brother could be so gentle to the world, and why the older brother loved the world.
Just like loving him.
However, their two were completely opposite, which caused Nanzhu to awaken a resonance ability that she shouldn't have.
Finally, Nan Zhu clearly understood the power of resonance, and Shi Yin could feel the power of Nan Zhu's zither music.
[It sounds like you had a good day, but you don't seem that happy.]
Inside the office, Helmod listened to Shion's story for a while. [Hey, are you listening?]
Helmod waved his hand in front of Shi Yin, and Shi Yin finally came to her senses.
"What did you just say?" Shi Yin looked at Helmod.
"I said you'd better come to me right now, the sooner the better." Helmod's expression turned serious. "Shiyin, you can't hear me."
