Shortly after the "earthquake" occurred, the entire campus, on the side close to the staff dormitory, was slowly lifted up, and eventually, the invisible air wall wrapped around the outside was completely torn apart.
Wen Nan and Jun Beibei climbed on the outside of the handrail, like two people crawling in front of the locomotive, and were carried together to break through the invisible wall.
A new world appeared before their eyes.
The first thing that catches your eye is the endless surface of water, which looks like the sea, but is not sky blue, but grayish white.
Thick white mist lingered on the water surface. It was the water vapor that evaporated after the water surface heated up rapidly.
Beneath the water surface, countless tiny bubbles gathered together and floated upwards.
This vast body of water was about to reach boiling point and become a pot of boiling soup.
The other side of the campus was completely submerged in water, and all the teachers and students gathered on that side fell into the water like dumplings.
The shouts and screams did not last long. With a series of "splash" sounds, the seafood that fell into the water quickly turned white and floated back to the surface.
Wen Nan and Jun Beibei climbed on the handrail, like two tourists climbing on the outside of the bow deck of a ship, staring blankly at the scene on the other side of the campus.
"It's not the cruise ship, it's not the sea, it's not the outside world..."
Jun Beibei murmured.
She thought the school was a huge enclosed cruise ship, but in fact, it was just a giant oval serving plate with a sealed lid to keep the food cool and filled with crushed ice to keep the seafood fresh.
She thought that the floating water outside the campus was part of the outside world, but in fact, it was just the bottom of a pot waiting to boil.
She raised her head and looked towards the sky.
I thought that if I could break through the invisible wall of air, I would be able to see the blue sky and white clouds.
However, there is still no blue sky there, only a huge translucent dome.
And right above the dome, there was a ring emitting dazzling light——
That's not the sun, that's a heating source like the one directly above your air fryer.
The outside world she thought was not the outside world at all. Here...
It's a pot of seafood soup.
Although she had a vague premonition in her heart, the shock Jun Beibei received when she actually saw the scene was still beyond her expectations.
She swallowed hard, and the edge of her skirt tightly gripped Wen Nan's spine, causing him some pain, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Jun Beibei pulled back the edge of her skirt and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Wen Nan didn't know for a moment whether she was apologizing for hurting Wen Nan's spines or for seeing the seafood pot in front of her. "Why are you apologizing?"
Jun Beibei turned to look at him and was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that after this, he could still be so calm. "Aren't you... afraid?"
Wen Nan was stunned, "What are you afraid of?"
Jun Beibei lowered her eyes and looked down.
The place where they were now was the highest point of the huge plate and the farthest place from the seafood soup that was about to boil.
But this does not mean that they can escape unscathed.
Now the plate is sinking into the water at a very fast speed.
Like a sinking cruise ship.
Since they are still tourists on this cruise ship, death is only a matter of time.
Under their feet was the bottom of a pot that was getting hotter and about to boil, and above their heads was a huge heat source. They were completely trapped in this world.
If you try to climb up along the metal hook next to you where the plates are hung, you will be roasted. If you let the plates under your feet sink down and fall into the water, you will be cooked.
It will be cooked anyway.
Thinking of this, Jun Beibei's heart sank to the bottom.
But next to my ears, I heard the boy's calm voice: "Isn't it romantic now?"
"……romantic?"
Jun Beibei found it difficult to understand the other person's train of thought and looked at the sea cucumber beside her in surprise.
Wen Nan nodded, "You jump, I jump."
Jun Beibei looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding what he was saying at all.
Recalling the joking whispers of the girls that Wen Nan had heard downstairs in the girls' dormitory, the strange feeling of disharmony in his heart emerged again.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Nan blurted out the question in his heart: "Do you know the story of Zhizunbao and Fairy Zixia?"
Jun Beibei shook her head, "...what?"
"Those female classmates in your dormitory seem to know everything."
Jun Beibei lowered her eyes and said somewhat dejectedly, "I... have never been very sociable, and I don't understand what they are talking about, such as," Jun Beibei thought of the strange terms Yu Xiaoluo had just mentioned, "running with the ball, and so on."
This time it was Wen Nan who looked confused, "...running with the ball?"
What's the latest basketball joke? How come he has never heard of it? Jun Beibei recalled the strange words that the snail said in the dormitory just now. Unexpectedly, even Ye Cancan sometimes couldn't understand.
Jun Beibei's originally heavy mood relaxed briefly, but soon, she looked down at her feet and vaguely saw a sharp point with a Fibonacci spiral in the steamy soup bottom. In an instant, her mood sank to the bottom again.
Wen Nan, who was lying beside her, kept his eyes fixed on the shells beside him.
Although he didn't know what the other person was thinking, Wen Nan clearly saw the changes in the reading on the other person's shell -
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Obsession clearing progress: 48%.] For every minute the silence lasts, Jun Beibei's obsession clearing progress will regress by one point.
Don't let her get caught up in negative emotions.
They must wait hopefully...
What are you waiting for? Wen Nan doesn't know.
He raised his head to look up. The hot white light source shrouded in mist made his head feel dizzy and swollen.
He felt as if he had forgotten a lot of things, but he still firmly believed that there would be an opportunity that would appear unexpectedly at a certain time.
But before this opportunity came, he couldn't let Jun Beibei fall into despair, so he tried to find a topic:
"Beibei, let's make a deal? I'll tell you the story of Zhizunbao and Zixia Fairy, and in exchange, you tell me what it means to run with the ball?"
Jun Beibei lifted the drooping hem of her skirt and looked at Wen Nan quietly without responding.
Wen Nan continued talking to himself.
After listening to this, Jun Beibei was silent for a long time, and then she murmured again and again: "The person I like is a great hero. Will he come to save me on a colorful cloud?"
Wen Nan nodded, "It seems that you have grasped the most essential part of this story."
"I understand," Jun Beibei straightened her chest seriously, "Ye Cancan, don't worry, although I don't have the seven-colored auspicious cloud, I will definitely save you from the sea of suffering."
Wen Nan: No, Beibei, you seem to have mistaken the gender and assigned the wrong person, right?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Wen Nan glanced at the shell next to him and saw a row of degrees, and he felt relieved -
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Obsession clearing progress: 58%.] Great, the clearing rate has improved a lot.
However, before he could completely relax, he heard a loud "boom" above his head.
Yi Shen and Yi Bei looked up at the same time, and saw that the scorching "sun" hanging right above them suddenly began to shake.
It was as if the sky was falling.
Jun Beibei subconsciously moved closer to Wen Nan, as if ready to put her shell on him at any time to help him withstand the pressure.
However, the "sky" did not collapse. Instead, the "sun" suddenly moved away from them at a very fast speed.
The water vapor in the sky suddenly gushed out into the sky, and then the stuffy air around them suddenly cooled down.
The "dome" covering their heads was lifted.
A pillar of strength reached out and began to churn the water beneath their feet.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jun Beibei frowned and stared at the towering metal pillar that was spinning and approaching them.
According to the trajectory of the metal pillar, it will eventually stop at the position closest to Jun Beibei and Ye Cancan, and then be retracted into the "sky".
If they could take advantage of this opportunity and jump onto the "Optimus Prime", they could follow each other and leave this hot seafood pot together.
This is their last chance and their only chance.
Thinking of this, Jun Beibei stared at the iron pillar that was slowly approaching not far away.
Ten meters, five meters, two meters... Now! Jun Beibei held the freezer on one side of her skirt, and tightly grasped Wen Nan's spines with the other side of her skirt, then jumped and stuck to the iron pillar.
A "sizzling" sound, similar to the sound of squid being placed on a hot iron plate, reached Wen Nan's ears.
Wen Nan's heart tightened when he heard this. He looked up and saw the white Arctic clam holding the iron pillar tightly with its shell.
The place where the skirt and the surface of the iron pillar come into contact has gradually changed from translucent to milky white due to the high temperature burning.
The aroma of roasted shells wafted into my nose.
"Fool!"
Wen Nan yelled at the other party, "Let go! Do you want to become roasted scallop meat?"
This kind of forceful "hitchhiking" would definitely not work, because the huge "soup spoon" had been stirring in the boiling pot for too long, and the temperature was quickly transmitted to the entire metal spoon, so that even the handle of the spoon was burning hot.
If Jun Beibei were to force herself to cling to it like this, she would probably die before leaving the bottom of the pot.
But no matter how Wen Nan shouted at the other party, the shell stubbornly clamped on the handle of the spoon, and refused to let go even though it was so hot that the hem of her skirt was trembling.
Wen Nan looked at the other party's white shell. The surface of the shell gradually lost its particle effect luster, and the degree became unusually clear.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Progress of clearing obsession value: 69%.] Her obsession is to "leave this world". She knows that she is getting closer and closer to this obsession. As long as she can leave, she doesn't care even if she becomes a flying female corpse.
At this moment, Wen Nan's pale words could not persuade her at all. She stared at the row of numbers on the other's shell. Finally, Wen Nan opened his mouth and bit the other's tender soft flesh.
The sudden pain caused a "retraction reflex" and the hem of Jun Beibei's skirt "whoosh" back into the shell.
The sea cucumber that she had been holding tightly and hanging in the air fell down like a fallen leaf, and hit the staff dormitory building again, bouncing on the window twice.
"Ye Can Can!"
Jun Beibei shouted downwards and tried hard to stretch the hem of her skirt down, but she couldn't reach the sea cucumber no matter what.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Progress of clearing obsession value: 49%.] If Ye Cancan cannot leave here with her, her obsession will never be fully realized.
She could lose her life, but she couldn't lose Ye Shen Shen.
Finally, the shell loosened and fell off the hot spoon handle.
Wen Nan ran forward two steps at full speed, stretched out the thorns on his body, and caught the shell accurately in his arms.
Jun Beibei lay in Wen Nan's arms, her eyes fixed on the metal pillar that was moving further and further away. "It's gone. There's no chance. We can't get out..."
"It will come back," Wen Nan said firmly.
Jun Beibei turned back and looked at the sea cucumber, "How... did you know?"
Wen Nan placed the Arctic clam by the window, then quickly ran to the edge of the dormitory building, jumping and skipping towards the direction of the huge soup spoon.
The sea cucumber has amazing bouncing ability, like a brown marble, and it is hard not to notice it in this pot of cooked seafood soup.
Sure enough, the soup spoon's movement to move away paused, and then it changed direction and moved closer to their dormitory building.
In a flash, the sea cucumber immediately changed direction and rushed straight towards the Arctic clam.
One spine hooked onto the freezer, and another spine tightly grasped the Arctic clam, and the sea cucumber jumped at full speed into the soup outside the building.
Jun Beibei didn’t understand why the other party wanted to jump into the boiling pot at this time, but she believed in him, so she followed his footsteps closely and rushed forward together.
The metal spoon that was approaching quickly from behind pressed down on Wen Nan.
The hot metal surface touched Wen Nan's skin, and a stinging pain immediately spread throughout his body.
"Oh shit."
Wen Nan cursed.
He thought to himself, I am not afraid of pain, but I was grimacing in pain. How did Jun Beibei endure it just now? But now is not the time to think about these things, because with the help of the hot metal spoon behind him, Wen Nan successfully "took care of the family" and flew into the air.
Obviously, the purpose of the metal spoon was just to scoop all the remaining "ingredients" into the bottom of the pot, so after making sure that the sea cucumbers and Arctic clams had flown off the "plate", the spoon handle immediately turned around and was retracted back into the "sky".
This turn successfully allowed the long rope hanging on the spoon handle to be swung towards Wen Nan.
And that "long rope" was Wen Nan's original goal.
That is a wakame.
A piece of cold and moist kelp hanging on the handle of the spoon, which has not yet been immersed in the soup base.
Seeing that one end of the wakame was thrown in front of Wen Nan, "Now!"
He threw the freezer box to Jun Beibei, then used the empty spines to tightly grasp the end of the kelp, "Success!"
In this way, a sea cucumber was pulled under the kelp, a northern clams was sandwiched under the sea cucumber, and a clam was hung under the northern clams. Like three stars in a row, they slowly sailed towards the outside world.
Wen Nan lowered his head and asked proudly, "Is it powerful or not, you are my brother."
The Arctic clam didn't say anything, but the reading on the shell soared.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 2; Progress of clearing obsession value: 90%.] Seeing that he was about to break through the outer wall of this world, Jun Beibei raised his head and looked at the figure bathed in light in front of him, "Ye Cancan."
"Um?"
"After we leave here, shall we fall in love?" (End of this chapter)
