Chapter 1316 The Returnee's Notes 390
As gunshots rang out in the distance, Yi's mother went straight to her quiet room, a room whose walls, including the ceiling and floor, were covered with mirrors.
In the very center was a table with only an oil lamp, a bronze mirror, and a tortoise shell for divination.
"Clink—" The copper coin landed on the table, but only one coin went over the edge of the table.
A male voice came from the bronze mirror, "The Kun hexagram, you will not die, you still have a chance to live."
But it was only a tiny bit.
The mother did not speak, but continued to divine again and again. There was always one copper coin that went outside the range she had chosen, and that was her way out.
This also means that what she encountered this time was not simple, otherwise her chances of survival would not have been so slim.
"Yuexin, you are a smart person."
"Shut up."
She really wanted to say that she had set up a great formation here, and no one could deal with it. After all, one Mirror Spirit was easy to deal with, but what if there were ten, a hundred, or a thousand?
She believed in her abilities, but precisely because she believed in herself, she also had to believe in the divination she had received.
Yuexin stared intently at the bronze mirror for a long time before coldly saying, "If I die, you won't live either."
She miscalculated somewhat.
The gunfire outside quickly subsided, and the children in the villa area began to evacuate in an orderly manner. They would first go to the basement and then leave through the underground passage, where helicopters would pick them up at the exit.
"Big sister, it's time to go."
The little boy hugged his mechanical puppy, his gaze falling on the girl standing by the window. The cold night wind lifted the hem of her white skirt, and her golden curly hair, which reached her waist, made her look even more like a porcelain doll.
The child tilted his head. He knew that his eldest sister was the most beautiful among them, but also the weakest. He used to think that his eldest sister was the oldest and the weakest, and would be the first among them to die.
Unexpectedly, the third sister died first. Everyone said that the third sister was in poor health, but he had seen the medical report and found that the third sister was the healthiest among them.
He didn't quite believe the reason that he caught a cold, but he did believe it when he told others.
The child walked up to the girl, bent down, and picked up the copper coin from the ground. "Big sister?"
The nanny and housekeeper outside were also urging her on. The girl looked at the sky, which had suddenly darkened, as if it were covered by layers of mist, with not a single starlight shining through.
The girl remained silent, simply accepting the copper coin from the little boy. She walked barefoot outside, and the boy didn't mind, knowing that the girl couldn't speak.
He wasn't the most intelligent, but he was the most adept at seeking advantage and avoiding harm. He had six siblings, and in his eyes, the others were either stupid or unlucky, except for his eldest sister, who was special.
Moreover, my mother doted on my eldest sister the most, and often taught her extra knowledge that they couldn't learn themselves, because my mother said they had no talent.
He actually remembered that he should have had older brothers and sisters, but they seemed to have died. Those two were also special, but unfortunately, he didn't learn much about them and only saw a little bit of information.
My mother is a very strong person, but she must be heartbroken to lose so many children. She wouldn't be foolish enough to say something like that.
The nanny, who was leading the two of them out, whispered to the girl, "Mingge, even though there's a carpet on the floor, you should still put on your shoes. Mr. Yi doesn't have a carpet on the floor, and you'll catch a cold."
The reason for this advice was that Yi Mingge was the weakest.
Seeing Yi Mingge stop, the nanny breathed a sigh of relief and then put on the shoes she had prepared for her.
The villa area was a little further inside, so they didn't encounter Xie Ning's people when they left the villa. The other children sitting in the car couldn't help but look out the window, but they could only see a little bit of the light from the car.
"Did you hear anything?"
"It sounds a bit like a mirror breaking, with a scraping sound, it's so jarring."
Yi Mingge reached out and touched the bronze mirror in his hand. It was clean and reflected no human face.
Unseen by them, mirrors that were originally hidden behind the walls were opened one by one, and ripples spread across the smooth surface of the mirrors. Then, eyes kept opening, as if many eyes were hidden inside the mirrors.
They turned mechanically, then locked their gaze on the people entering the base from the outside.
Something's not right.
Wu Hui suppressed the restless soul umbrella, frowning as he looked around at the dim surroundings. They had entered at dusk, yet the sky had darkened so quickly in such a short time.
Something was definitely wrong here; no wonder Xie Ning asked him to bring people along.
He now knows how powerful firearms are, but what if such weapons are not used against people?
Are you scared?
The woman walked up to Wu Hui. She was about the same age as Wu Hui. Unlike Wu Hui and the others who wore simple robes, she was wearing a specially made combat uniform.
Wu Hui snorted coldly and ignored the woman.
He knew this person, Song Zhi.
He can be said to be the leader of the entire combat team. Even the people led by Zhou Ke are under his command. They are just good at fighting. How can you say that he is afraid?
Is he afraid?
"Just don't hold us back."
The junior disciples, including Jing Shui, noticed the coldness between the two and silently hunched their shoulders, knowing that Senior Brother Wu Hui had the worst temper.
However, despite having a bad temper, he is still kind-hearted.
The main concern was that others who didn't understand Taoist arts might get hurt. They probably still resented Xie Ning for letting so many ordinary people in, causing unnecessary sacrifices.
