Chapter 122 Chapter 122 If I hadn't been suddenly suppressed...
If Li Baili had not been suppressed suddenly, he would not have been injured at all. If he had not been suppressed, even if he was injured, his current strength would not have dropped to this level.
Given his current reduced strength, it was already quite good that he could walk into this room with his eyes open and not faint after suffering such an injury.
He didn't care about anything else. He locked the door and put a barrier on the room. Then everything went black, he was bleeding, lost consciousness, and with a thud, he fell to the ground without realizing how he lay there.
When he woke up, the barrier of the house was about to dissipate. After all, this thing also required energy, and the energy he stored before he passed out was only enough for a while.
He couldn't tell whether he was awakened by the pain or by the sense of crisis that the barrier was about to dissipate. When he got up from the ground, he patted the dust on his body and found his hands were covered in blood.
He was pulling at the folds of his clothes while looking at the blood on his hands. The blood had already dried up and was not sticky at all, just dry.
When he used his fingers, he could hear the solidified blood scab making some tiny rustling sounds, as if a mouse was running along the wall.
He frowned and roughly dealt with the blood scabs on his hands, tearing off what could be torn off and rubbing off what could be rubbed off. When he was almost done, only some dull red remained on his hands, emitting a faint fishy smell.
He used a cleansing spell and his hands and clothes were much cleaner. The barrier was completely broken. He quickly put on his clothes, took two steps forward, and turned around.
There were bursts of violent knocks on the door, which sounded like war drums singing during thunder.
Li Baili frowned and took another step back. He could barely hear a knock on the door and someone calling him from outside.
"Li Baili, you're not dead, are you? Li Baili, say something, Li Baili! Open the door! What are you doing opening the barrier? Are you dead in there? Speak!" Li Qinglian shouted outside at the top of her lungs, her throat almost smoking.
Li Baili hesitated for a moment, walked over and opened the door. Yang Yushu suddenly rushed in from outside, just like a firecracker. With a bang, he hit Li Baili and exploded.
He hugged Li Baili and cried loudly: "I thought you were dead! You scared me to death! Why didn't you speak for so long?
"Why are you locking yourself in the room? Even though everything is calm outside, if you don't show up, they won't wait for you! Let's die together!"
Li Baili patted him casually, comforted him, and pushed him away. Her movements were as natural and smooth as pushing open a frequently used door.
Yang Yushu was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. He stood there in a daze, his face pale. He looked at Li Baili, the fear in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
He watched Li Baili walking towards Li Qinglian, his eyelids twitched twice, and he felt a little amused and helpless, so that his expression looked a little distorted, as if the muscles under his face were knotted and wriggling.
Li Baili stood in front of Li Qinglian and looked at him. His face was pale and his cheeks were red, as if a fire had suddenly started in the winter night. It was too red and looked a little scary.
He blinked and his eyelids twitched twice, revealing an expression of being speechless, but his mood was still very complicated. He looked Li Baili up and down and felt that he should be fine, otherwise he would not be able to get up and open the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you call me just now?" Li Baili looked at Li Qinglian and asked.
Li Qinglian thought about it and nodded: "I almost thought you were dead. Now that I see you are fine, I have nothing to say."
Li Baili asked: "What's the situation outside?"
This question is about the comfort zone, and Li Qinglian immediately explained the current situation: "Penglai is relatively safe, the human world is also stable, the insects are scattered, and there is no danger.
The sealed ones have been hiding and have not appeared. As soon as the monsters appeared, they all went to their side. I don’t know if they plan to live there or discuss something with them. In short, it’s okay.
However, they seem to have noticed that you haven't appeared in the past one or two days, and they think you won't show up again, so they started to try to find trouble with us. If we can't find you at this time, I'm afraid we will be in even bigger trouble."
Li Qinglian's expression gradually became solemn.
Li Baili nodded, not taking it seriously, and even smiled, looking very relaxed: "It seems nothing happened."
Indeed, as long as he appears, the other side will not dare to attack, because they know they can't win, and they will not come here in vain, wasting time and getting beaten.
Yang Yushu came to his senses, frowned, twitched his nose, and suddenly took a step forward and pulled Li Baili to ask, "Why is there such a strong smell of blood in this room?"
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Baili with an interrogative attitude. His hands did not relax at all, as if he had handcuffed Li Baili's wrists. His expression was like a cat with an inexplicable smile, mysterious and a little weird.
Li Baili tried to pull her hand back, but it didn't move. She lowered her eyes and head, as if she was angry, and didn't say anything.
Li Qinglian looked at the two of them and tried to persuade them: "We finally meet, why don't you stop quarreling?"
If Li Baili had said something, perhaps Yang Yushu would not have been so quick to determine that there was really something wrong, but Li Baili didn't say anything, and Yang Yushu was certain that there was something wrong with him.
"If he wanted to get rid of me, it would be easy, but why didn't he do that?" Yang Yushu held Li Baili and stared at him, but turned his head to the side and asked Li Qinglian with a smile.
Li Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he was talking about. She was shocked and suspicious, her eyes widened, and her face became paler than before, as if someone had poured a basin of white paint on her face.
"You?" Li Qinglian said slowly, his shock no less than if someone had suddenly grown a hand and tore his throat apart, and asked Li Baili: "You have become weaker?"
Li Baili turned her head away in silence, not looking at this or that. She didn't want to admit it, nor did she want to lie.
Others might not know what he meant, but for the two people in front of him, it was like writing the answers on the test paper, in black and white, very clear.
Li Qinglian and Yang Yushu looked at each other and immediately closed the door. There was no light in the room and it was pitch black. After closing the door, only shadows were left. A little white light came in from the window and was divided into grids by the window.
The blurred grids fell on the table and stools, like a torn white cloth, slowly sliding to the ground, looking sad and miserable.
Li Qinglian took two steps to Li Baili's side, and with Yang Yushu on the left and right, squeezed Li Baili in the middle, like a minister plotting to murder the king in a secret room, and asked in a low voice: "Is it true?"
Li Baili glanced at him with an expression on her face that said, "You already know everything, why are you asking?" She still had nothing to say.
Li Qinglian took a breath, widened his eyes, and frowned tightly, as if someone had locked it there, holding down Li Baili's shoulders, shaking him madly, and said in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"
"What's going on?!" Li Qinglian's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and was indignant. A sneer of revenge appeared on his face, and he looked like he wanted to roar to the sky.
Li Baili pushed him away and said, "You all saw what happened before. There's nothing to say."
Li Qinglian fell silent for a moment.
If we talk about what happened before, there really isn't much to say, because Li Qinglian really couldn't beat that giant octopus, and now, even Li Baili can't beat that thing.
Not to mention that they can't find that thing, even if they do find it, there's nothing they can do.
The atmosphere in the whole house suddenly became much colder, like when a windy autumn day comes and someone suddenly opens the window, and the whistling wind and orange leaves blow in through the window, filling the room with that bleak feeling.
No one spoke.
"I have a way." Yang Yushu hesitated for a while, with an expression that went against his ancestors on his face, and suddenly said.
"What?" Li Qinglian couldn't help but ask first.
Yang Yushu smiled at him, but because he was too nervous, his expression didn't look very good, a little ferocious, not friendly, but threatening, as if he was afraid of being discovered. He whispered, "There is a cemetery in my manor, and I have prepared my own tombstone there. It was something I had when I inherited the manor.
There is another vacant lot next to my tombstone. It is within the cemetery and can be used to erect another tombstone. As long as Li Baili is willing to be there and erect a tombstone with his name on it, his power may be restored."
"Why?" Li Qinglian didn't understand.
"Because the previous owner of the manor told me when he handed it over to me that the manor has the power to heal itself." Yang Yushu said in a low voice with a frown.
"In that case," Li Qinglian looked at Li Baili, hoping that he would agree, "why don't you stay at his house?"
Li Baili frowned and said, "Why is it necessary? I don't think those guys dare to come for a while. Let's wait until they really want to do something, then do this."
"You really are! You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Li Qinglian shook his sleeves and cursed: "It will be too late when the time comes!"
"We'll talk about it later!" Li Baili walked around them and reached out to open the door: "I'm going out."
Li Qinglian wanted to persuade him again, but after going out, continuing to talk about this matter in front of so many people would really risk leaking the secret. If she dragged the person back, it would be too strange.
After hesitating, he felt that he could not persuade her. He decided to just talk about it when the time came. It wasn't him who was in trouble anyway, so why should he be anxious?
He sighed and followed him out.
Yang Yushu walked at the back, looking thoughtful.
