Chapter 77
In the pitch-black chaotic space, Lan Ji held a ball of fire in his hand, melting it into ice repeatedly to cool down everyone present.
Bai Zhou couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to stop him: "Stop struggling, it's useless, they can't wake up."
Lan Ji sighed and lowered his eyes. The icicles on his palms fell off, dropped to the ground and were swallowed by the darkness.
"There will always be some effect..." But as he continued to say this, he didn't even believe it himself. How can it be effective? If it worked, he had been doing it over and over again for several hours, how could there be no effect at all?
Bai Zhou spread out Lan Ji's hand. Even though his own elements would not hurt him, Lan Ji's palm was still red.
Bai Zhou tried to warm him up with his body temperature, but it had no effect.
"I'll help you."
Under Bai Zhou's gaze, a few icicles appeared in Lan Ji's palms again. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji each held one and began to try a new round of waking up.
When Pei Zhao and the others were teleported back, this was the scene they saw.
Dozens of students were lying there. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji each held a piece of icicle and were putting it on the back of their necks.
What’s more important is that some of the students actually woke up slowly.
Zhou Ran was also lying aside with sleepy eyes. When he saw Pei Zhao, he raised his hand and greeted him.
"Pei... God? What's wrong with me?"
Pei Zhao was delighted and walked over quickly.
Lan Ji then stopped, leaned back with his arms and sat on the spot, looking up at Pei Zhao with a somewhat cold expression.
"It doesn't look like a spell that can wake them up. In their case, it's more like they fell into a coma due to having part of their blood sucked out."
Vampires feed on human blood, and if they lose too much blood they will fall into a coma, which does sound reasonable.
Lan Ji glanced at the bulge in Pei Zhao's arms, and his eyes lit up: "Yes..."
"Shh..." Pei Zhao made a gesture to keep quiet, quietly lifted his clothes a little, leaned close to Lan Ji's ear, and whispered: "That man is Miu Yi's brother. I'll tell you the details after we get out."
Lan Ji nodded immediately. They were back together again!
Bai Zhou hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet, and had already complained to Zhou Yuli: "After all, I have the fire attribute, and this ice cube is going to freeze me into an ice cube!"
Zhou Yuli reached out and pulled him up from the ground: "It's done."
Bai Zhou nodded imperceptibly. When the two of them crossed paths, Bai Zhou whispered, "There is no exit here. I'm afraid we need to find another way to leave."
Zhou Yuli nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Bai Zhou went to find Lan Ji. Lan Ji winked at Bai Zhou and Bai Zhou understood instantly.
Zhou Yuli walked back to Pei Zhao and shook his head gently.
Pei Zhao nodded in understanding.
The two walked to Zhou Ran's left and right and sat down: "Zhou Ran?"
"Pei Shen..."
"Can you recall what happened?"
Zhou Ran stretched his neck and tried to recall: "We were just... playing basketball, and suddenly, there was an earthquake, and we all fell down... Then..." Zhou Ran seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his pupils dilated, and he grabbed Pei Zhao's hand and said: "It was Miu Yi! Miu Yi... attacked me?"
Zhou Ran was a little bit unconvinced when he spoke. He shook his head and changed his words: "It might be someone who looks like Miu Yi. He attacked me."
Pei Zhao nodded and looked at Zhou Yuli.
Zhou Yuli nodded: "I will go discuss it with Bai Zhou."
Seeing that Zhou Yuli and Bai Zhou asked Lan Ji to create an ice curtain, no one outside could hear the sound inside. When Pei Zhao was about to make his speech, he gathered all the people present.
After counting, there were thirty-four students, plus the six of them, exactly forty people.
Pei Zhao wondered if Zhou Yuli could spare thirty of the vines to hang them all up and take them back.
Miu Yi, who was hiding in the clothes, seemed to feel something and made a "squeaking" sound. Pei Zhao looked up and saw that the man appeared from somewhere and was slowly walking towards them.
Pei Zhao scolded softly, "Keep your voice down, he's coming."
Miu Yi immediately became quiet. When Pei Zhao looked up again, he saw that the man was already in front of him.
"Scream it out." The man looked down at him coldly.
"What?" Pei Zhao pretended not to understand and turned to leave.
"The thing in your arms." The man seemed to have the ability to see through things. He raised his hand and placed it on Pei Zhao's shoulder without saying a word. But just before it touched him, a vine swung out from the ground. The thick vine went straight towards him. The man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he reacted extremely quickly and leaped back.
At the same time, the ice curtain broke, and a ball of flames instantly surrounded the man, and above the flames was Lan Ji hovering with an ice blade in his hand.
Lan Ji lowered his eyes and looked at the man, his ice-blue eyes revealed his unique identity.
Bai Zhou's pair of golden eyes were almost transparent under the flames.
The man slowly stood up and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Superpowers."
He turned his gaze to Pei Zhao, "It seems that you have some capable people under your command. How about making an exchange?"
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji both looked at Pei Zhao for a moment, but Pei Zhao's expression was a little complicated.
Zhou Yuli on the side had already lowered his head, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Pei Zhao asked back: "...Do we have to be so childish? Sir, we just want to leave here."
The man was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Give him to me, and I will let you go."
"What if I say no?" Pei Zhao frowned: "I hope you can understand that you have your persistence, and we have ours."
The man's eyes widened, and his red pupils became even redder, but he still maintained that noble appearance and said mercilessly: "Am I negotiating a deal with you? Do you want to be trapped here forever?"
Of course not. Pei Zhao said in his heart.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Pei Zhao didn't want to say any more nonsense, but took a few steps back, stood in front of all the students, and got ready.
If any accidents happened, he would take these students directly to the wrong world and transfer them first.
In fact, Pei Zhao could also leave Miu Yi in that world first, and then travel back to find him after they were transferred out. But Miu Yi insisted on going with them no matter what. Pei Zhao thought that maybe the child couldn't stand being left behind, so he took him with him.
But at this moment, Pei Zhao felt that his clothes were a little wet.
Taking advantage of turning his back, Pei Zhao lowered his head to take a look.
The little bat nestled in the corner, wiping away tears.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zhao asked softly.
Miu Yi kept silent and Pei Zhao felt a little discouraged.
What's going on?
The man was trapped by Bai Zhou's flames, and Lan Ji was blocking his way above his head, so he couldn't get out. Zhou Yuli stood outside the flames and negotiated with the man with an expressionless face.
"Let us go so we can help you convey what you want to say."
"Why should I trust lowly humans?" The man bared his teeth, his red eyes almost blending into the flames.
"Hey, hey, hey," Bai Zhou was unhappy. He frowned and turned to Zhou Yuli, rolling his eyes at the man, "Show some respect. What do you mean by lowly human? You are trapped now, you are worse than us."
Zhou Yuli raised his head: "You can choose not to believe it. I am just providing an idea. We have hundreds of ways to leave here."
Zhou Yuli was not exaggerating. He and Bai Zhou thought of many ways. The simplest one was to fight and knock the man unconscious and then fly up with the Fire Phoenix. A more complicated one was to use Pei Zhao's ability to travel through time to the place where Miu Yi had lived before, and then find a way to travel back.
In short, they are absolutely sure they can get away from here.
But for some reason, Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao have different ideas. He still hopes to resolve the problems between Miu Yi and his brother as much as possible.
Maybe it's because he also had a family, and he still holds a little hope for his family.
He prefers that everyone's feelings be expressed.
"So speak quickly." Zhou Yuli urged.
The man was silent for a moment, and quickly assessed the possibility of him being able to restrain these people. It was unlikely, but not impossible.
You can give it a try...
But just as he thought this, he heard Zhou Yuli's voice.
"You should know that you only have this one chance. If we leave, he won't have another chance to know what you want to say."
The man was stunned. He looked up and saw Zhou Yuli, whose face was still cold. He lowered his eyes and looked at the burning fire, and sighed imperceptibly.
"Just consider it a farewell. You shouldn't have caused him so much pain."
The man was silent.
Hundreds of years had not actually increased his understanding of emotions. If he were a human, he would just be a young man in his twenties.
But Zhou Yuli's words gave him a vague illusion.
It seems like he is really going to say goodbye to Miuyi... ?
Zhou Yuli made some distance and the man's eyes fell on Pei Zhao, who was a little further away and looked alert.
He could feel that his dear brother was in that person.
But even if he took a step forward, he could feel the flames burning his body.
He could only open his mouth.
At first, only a sound similar to the cry of a bird could be heard, but it soon stopped.
The man remembered that his younger brother didn't like such sounds when he was born.
Then his restless little tongue sought a suitable position in his mouth, and made a sound that was no longer hoarse, but somewhat warm, and belonged to a human being.
"younger brother……?"
The flames made his throat feel hot, and the man licked his fangs without trying to get a response.
"...You are the most talented person, but if you were not willing, you would not have been trapped by humans for so long."
"Since this is the lifestyle you choose, I won't stop you. I just want to apologize for scaring you before. I want to start over."
"We are the only ones left at home... my brother."
For a moment, almost everyone present felt that the man seemed to have a thousand words to say, but when all came together at the moment, only a few confusing sentences were left.
Mi Yi still did not respond. The man gradually lost hope as he waited second by second.
Until his expression, which was originally full of hope and pleading, gradually became calm and indifferent. He lowered his head and just raised his sleeves.
A black vortex appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, countless blue and gray substances were swirling back and forth in the sky.
He raised his head and spoke to Zhou Yuli in a completely different posture from before.
"If I have the chance, I will come back to you." He paused, his red eyes showing his pride, "I will erase their memories and not cause any trouble for you."
The next second, countless blue-black substances circled, seemingly without a target, but accurately entered the body of every student.
The students who were thrown into the trap jumped into the black hole in front of them without any hesitation.
The four of them looked at each other, nodded, and jumped down immediately.
Only Zhou Yuli was a few steps late.
