Chapter 36
At midnight, the flickering fire in the ice cover finally went out.
There was a rhythmic crashing sound coming from under the Ferris wheel.
One sound, two sounds, three sounds.
Like something metal colliding.
Pei Zhao originally thought that he had imagined it. But gradually, the sound became faster and harsher, finally waking him up from his sleep. Pei Zhao opened his eyes and realized it was noisy. Zhou Yuli and the others were also awake.
The fire went out, and the vines under the center's feet were moved away. Bai Zhou and the others were lying on them watching.
Zhou Yuli had been behind Pei Zhao the whole time. When he saw him wake up, he stretched his sore shoulders a few times and asked with a little tiredness, "How's the observation going?"
Bai Zhou didn't even turn his head: "It's pitch black, I can't see the details."
Pei Zhao asked: "What happened?"
Zhou Yuli held his hand and pulled up the clothes covering him: "Lan Ji felt that there was a living person underneath."
On the other side, Lan Ji's face turned pale, he made sounds of pain, and held Bai Zhou's hand.
It was too dark, Pei Zhao couldn't see anything, he only heard Lan Ji's screams of pain, but he didn't react: "What living person? What happened to Lan Ji?"
The sky was dark, and the only light that could penetrate was blocked by the white boat. No one answered what he said. Pei Zhao gritted his teeth and felt that the atmosphere here had completely changed.
Just when Pei Zhao wanted to say something, Bai Zhou finally raised his head from the glass.
A little light leaked out from the sky, allowing Pei Zhao to see the scene clearly.
There were more than one ice spike stuck in Lan Ji's body, and blood was oozing out.
Pei Zhao's scream was drowned in his throat, and he covered his mouth not daring to make a sound. Because he saw, under the glass that Bai Zhou no longer covered, a pair of deep blue eyes were staring at him intently.
Zhou Yuli obviously also discovered it, and the reason was simple: Pei Zhao pinched him too hard.
Pei Zhao had a feeling that those blue eyes seemed to be looking at him, and during this gaze, he actually felt a sense of tranquility.
This was really too absurd. Pei Zhao shook his head, trying to drive this illusion out of his mind.
He shook his head and looked again, but the eyes were gone.
"Zhou Yuli, did you see that?" Pei Zhao subconsciously grabbed the person next to him.
"..." After a moment, Pei Zhao did not wait for Zhou Yuli's reply, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Slowly turning his head——
The face was still Zhou Yuli's face, and the expression was as cold as always. However, those eyes——
Pei Zhao remembered that Zhou Yuli's eyes should be calm, even a little indifferent.
And these eyes were teasing and calculating.
A pair of dark blue eyes drew a long and thin line in the darkness.
"Ah——!!!" Pei Zhao screamed.
…
"Pei Zhao! Pei Zhao!" Zhou Yuli shook his men.
"Still have no intention of waking up?" In the light of the icy fire, Lan Ji knelt among the vines and reached out to feel the temperature of Pei Zhao's forehead.
"How is it?" Bai Zhou asked.
Lan Ji took his hand back and shook his head, "No fever."
Zhou Yuli frowned as he hugged Pei Zhaohuang, pinching his palm with his other hand, leaving a red mark. The coat that he had previously covered Pei Zhao with was wrinkled and thrown aside.
The firelight shone on Zhou Yuli's face, reflecting his gloomy expression.
I should not have let Pei Zhao sleep. God knows why he couldn't wake up after falling asleep.
His breathing and heartbeat were normal, but he was completely unconscious. If Zhou Yuli had not slept with Pei Zhao before and knew that this man did not sleep so deeply, they would have thought that he was just sleeping normally.
·
Pei Zhao swung the mirror whip to cut open the door of the glass house, stepped on the glass shards, and jumped out.
He stepped on a machine not far away, stopped, and turned around.
At the broken glass door, Zhou Yuli, Bai Zhou, and Lan Ji were slowly standing up, looking at him dimly with the same blue eyes.
Pei Zhao couldn't help swallowing.
The long whip circled around him and slowly fell down, and at the same time, Pei Zhao's heart fell to the bottom.
On the Ferris wheel opposite, countless vines are growing, baring their fangs and claws, waiting for an opportunity to invade.
Looking down, he could inexplicitly hear the sound of waves coming from the dark park below him, but what made him even more chilled was the sound of ice cracking, which was subtle but very clear.
Looking up, countless flames were rushing towards me from the sky.
I don't know why, but at this moment, Pei Zhao felt extremely peaceful in his heart.
He let go of the whip and made a raising gesture. The next moment, the whip rose up with the wind, accompanied by countless mirror fragments, which quickly spun, increased, and combined in the sky.
It formed a person whose entire body was silver-white, and every part of his body was three-dimensional as if cut by a knife. He looked exactly like Pei Zhao, but looked more majestic and indifferent.
The mirror man seemed to have life after it was formed. He turned around, bent his long legs, and floated to Pei Zhao's side.
Even if there were no eyeballs, Pei Zhao didn't have to look back.
But he felt clearly that the man in the mirror was looking at him.
·
"What is this?" Three exclamations came from the silent glass cover.
Zhou Yuli looked at the seemingly transparent armor that formed around Pei Zhao in surprise, and looked at Bai Zhou with a puzzled look.
After showing a moment of surprise, Bai Zhou touched his chin and said, "Tsk, why do you suddenly look... familiar?"
Lan Ji patted him on the shoulder and said in an ambiguous tone, "Page 320 of the prophecy."
Bai Zhou snapped his fingers, "Yes, that's the damn book!"
Zhou Yuli had no idea what they were talking about. Just now, his fingers had brushed against the thin film on Pei Zhao's body and actually broken the skin. He stared blankly at the blood on his fingers.
Lan Ji waved his sleeves, and the blood was quickly stopped by the thin ice.
Zhou Yuli was even more puzzled when he saw Lan Ji squatting beside him, gazing at the membrane on Pei Zhao's body with admiration.
Lan Ji watched for a moment and exclaimed, "I didn't expect the prophecy to be true. The Enlightened One actually has the power of being invulnerable to swords and guns."
Zhou Yuli frowned, "Invulnerable to swords and guns?"
Lan Ji turned his head, drew an ice spike on the palm of his hand, and stabbed it directly at Pei Zhao without saying hello.
Zhou Yuli almost cried out in surprise. Lan Ji had stabbed Pei Zhao's eyes, where there was no protection.
Zhou Yuli subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but Lan Ji took the initiative and his movements were too fast. Zhou Yuli could only watch helplessly as the ice spike stabbed past him first.
The next second, it was blocked by the mirror film.
The ice spikes instantly broke into pieces and turned into extremely fine powder, giving off a cool feeling.
Zhou Yuli then realized: "This membrane has a protective effect."
Bai Zhou's voice came slowly: "It was just a rumor. I didn't expect to see a miracle with my own eyes today. The prophecy said that the Enlightened One will save the city of Hall and take away the most important things in the city of Hall."
Lan Ji sat down next to Pei Zhao. "You don't recognize this thing, but everyone in Hall City is very familiar with it. This is the last protective film of our planet and the most natural barrier against cosmic garbage."
Bai Zhou sat down. As the night deepened, the glass cover became colder. Bai Zhou snapped his fingers and a fire ignited in the palm of his hand, turning into a tiny floating fireball, making the place brighter and warmer. Bai Zhou pulled Lan Ji's hand over and rubbed it in his palm a few times.
"It is said that the natural barrier was created hundreds of years ago and was written into the history of Hall City. I wonder..."
Bai Zhou didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what he meant.
The natural barrier of Hall City appeared on Pei Zhao, but what about Hall City?
Even though they are no longer the fifth prince and duke of that city, they paid the price of leaving in order to protect that city.
And now...
"...Although I can't make a decision." The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a long time, and Zhou Yuli's voice came, "But if there is a chance, let's go back and take a look."
Apart from the promise he made to Pei Zhao, Zhou Yuli had never promised anything to anyone else.
He had few friends since he was a child. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji were his first friends.
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji were also stunned. They were not the kind of people who made friends often, and Zhou Yuli was not familiar to them, but at this moment, they inexplicably felt a strange connection.
It is not empty, but intricate and real.
It passed through the tiny fireball and came out from their hearts, including Pei Zhao's heart.
The only difference is that the silk on Pei Zhao's chest is only connected to Zhou Yuli, while the color of the silk between the three of them, especially the one connecting Bai Zhou and Lan Ji, is also darker.
"What are these?" Bai Zhou exclaimed. He had never seen these things before.
Lan Ji blinked.
Zhou Yuli had seen it on the day when he became a human.
He was just about to say something to explain when Pei Zhao, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly started coughing violently.
"die--"
Pei Zhaoteng sat up.
Zhou Yuli went up to pat him on the back, but Pei Zhao reacted quickly and dodged immediately. Zhou Yuli looked at his palm in a daze, with a confused expression.
"You..." Pei Zhao's voice gradually weakened. Just now, he watched the three of them controlling the terrible elemental power and rushing towards him. It was a world of ice and fire, and the vines tightly wrapped around him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The scattered lenses isolated a lot of energy, which was constantly shattered and regenerated. When Pei Zhao felt that all the energy in his body was about to be depleted, he finally heard a sound like something breaking.
Pei Zhao originally thought it was the mirror man - the mirror man had been surrounding him since its birth, looking at him quietly with a dazed and stupid look.
But he soon discovered that the source of the sound was not the mirror man.
A crack appeared in the center of the sky at some point, and dazzling white light poured in through the crack in an instant.
The sound of breaking became louder and louder, and the noise around me became louder and louder. Pei Zhao felt as if his eardrums were about to explode.
The lenses were flying out faster and faster, so fast that Pei Zhao knew clearly that he could no longer mobilize so much energy.
With a loud snapping sound, the stupid mirror man seemed to come alive suddenly, passing through the ice and fire and going straight into his body.
At that moment, his body was in pain, and every bone seemed to be broken, but the mirror man seemed to soothe the pain instantly. More energy flowed out from the deepest part of his body, making Pei Zhao feel unprecedented comfort.
Just when he wanted to fight off the attack in one go, an even more intense pain instantly invaded his brain!
