What he didn't know was that Li Sikai, like him, was also calling for help using a signal emitted by the smart bracelet.
However, Tao Jianian's signal was just a regular location signal. When the guards were rescuing people, they did so according to the distance. So, even though they had run so far today, it was still not his turn.
Li Sikai, however, was different. He held an important position in the Imperial Capital Guard and was authorized to send out distress signals directly.
Therefore, after the Suzhou City Guard Team found his distress signal, they reported it immediately, and the person in charge specially arranged a team to go to the location where the signal came from for rescue.
When Li Sikai's team members found out, they were overjoyed and wept. They volunteered for the mission, hoping to rescue their captain as soon as possible.
A few hours later, Li Sikai finally saw the light of day again, although what greeted him was darkness and heavy snow.
He was trapped for nearly twenty hours, but only suffered some scratches. He was very lucky.
Meanwhile, Yuan Ruoxi and Tao Jianian, who were nearby, were not in a good situation.
Preliminary diagnosis indicates that Tao Jianian's leg is broken, and it is still uncertain whether he can recover to his previous state.
Yuan Ruoxi has been in a coma ever since and hasn't woken up. Her temperature was found to be high.
They quickly sent the two back to the medical ward of their residence. They couldn't take care of the man, but Yuan Ruoxi still needed their care.
Li Sikai's team members are all men, but they didn't care about avoiding suspicion. After feeding Yuan Ruoxi the medicine, they stripped her down to her underwear and then put a clean set of pajamas on her.
Despite all this commotion, the person still hadn't woken up. The group exchanged glances, deciding to seize the opportunity to quickly check her for anything suspicious.
Because they had just helped her change her clothes, they were certain that Yuan Ruoxi wasn't wearing a necklace and there were no suspicious items hidden in her clothes. That left only her two diamond earrings, a platinum ring, and a jade bracelet.
Based on my years of experience reading novels, that space is most likely based on this jade bracelet.
Li Sikai gave a signal with his eyes, and a teammate stepped forward and easily took the bracelet off Yuan Ruoxi's hand.
The group frowned. It was that simple?
One of the quick-witted ones pulled out a dagger from his pocket and gestured for the others to perform a blood oath. Although somewhat reluctant, Li Sikai decided to take the lead in order to confirm whether he was the right vessel.
As it turned out, the jade bracelet didn't absorb any blood at all. Others also made small cuts on their fingertips and dripped blood onto the jade bracelet, but it didn't work as expected.
"Could it be that the host is still alive, which is why it cannot re-establish a master?" a teammate said.
Everyone looked at Yuan Ruoxi with complex and indescribable expressions.
If the jade bracelet could find a new owner, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble, but now...
Their professional ethics don't allow them to kill and rob, so they can only wait for her to court disaster and then reap the benefits.
Sigh, I feel so bad, so disappointed. The person who had taken off the jade bracelet put it back on Yuan Ruoxi's wrist.
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Li Sikai waved his hand, telling them to leave first, while he stayed behind to keep watch at night.
After everyone left, Li Sikai kept asking himself, could this jade bracelet really be the so-called spatial carrier? Or could it be that they had been thinking the wrong way from the beginning? Otherwise, how could the carrier be so easily removed and taken away without any reaction?
As for Yuan Ruoxi's so-called spatial ability, ha, they never believed it, unless there are other people with superpowers in this world.
As Li Sikai pondered, he reached for the other ornaments.
The platinum ring on my hand was easily removed, and after repeated inspection, there was nothing unusual.
The diamond earring in her left ear was also removed; it was crystal clear and looked completely flawless.
But when Li Sikai looked at the earring in his right ear, which clearly had a black dot, he noticed something was wrong because he couldn't take it off.
The earring seemed to be permanently attached to Yuan Ruoxi's ear, fitting snugly without leaving any gaps.
So this is what they call a spatial carrier; it's really quite unremarkable.
Who would have thought that a low-quality diamond would be the vessel for that legendary divine object?
With a thought, Li Sikai dripped a drop of blood onto each of the two earrings. The one in his left ear, which had a high purity, showed no reaction at all, but he felt a faint rejection from the one in his right ear, which had impurities.
It seems that it really is because the original owner of the space is still alive that it cannot be reclaimed.
Since that's the case, let's just wait it out and see how tough Yuan Ruoxi's life is, and how long she can live.
Some might wonder why not just kill Yuan Ruoxi directly. The Qinghe Alliance had also considered this question, but after much deliberation, Alliance Chief Li was still unwilling to get his hands dirty.
Moreover, the existence of spatial ability users is not a secret. In Su City, the scope is quite broad, involving everyone from supermarket employees and owners to police officers, Su City officials, and the security team. It's not something that can be concealed by a simple confidentiality agreement.
Another point is that everyone knows there is a spatial ability user. If this person suddenly disappears from the guard team, what will the public think? Will they think the guard team is disregarding human life?
How can the Qinghe Alliance maintain its current prestige? Will the Qinghua Society fall apart due to the loss of popular support?
Therefore, from any perspective, they cannot be the ones to strike. Not only can they not strike, they must also provide the other party with a certain degree of protection.
However, if the other party were to ruin themselves one day, then the Qinghe Alliance would have a perfectly legitimate reason to take over their legacy. Everything the Qinghe Alliance did would then be beyond reproach.
With this in mind, Li Sikai repeatedly tolerated Yuan Ruoxi's antics. Seeing her pale face, he could only wait quietly by her side.
Sigh, you have to admit they have space. Even when it gets to 40 degrees, the temperature only goes down in two or three hours. They're really lucky!
Early in the morning, Li Sikai dragged his exhausted body out of the tent, called a teammate to take over, and then went to drink a bowl of thin porridge before returning to his quarters to rest.
Sigh, he was buried for almost twenty hours and then guarded Yuan Ruoxi for most of the night. He's exhausted now, it's really miserable.
After sleeping soundly until it was pitch black again, I heard that Yuan Ruoxi had already woken up, was perfectly fine, and had even eaten two large dinners.
People really can't be compared!
Okay, let's not talk about them anymore, because Shen Yanming got up before six o'clock this morning.
He covered Bi Qiaoan with a blanket, gently lifted a corner of the tent flap, and when he saw the snow-covered landscape outside, he knew what was going on.
