Yili closed his eyes.
I remembered what I had read in the book before.
The Heart of Memory is the core of Giant Island's operations. It was created by its creator, Ishtar, who then gave him the dagger that could truly destroy the Heart of Memory. Ishtar placed the dagger in the center of Giant Island—the clock tower.
Yi Li looked into the distance. Not far above the fairy-tale red tiles, a pitch-black lighthouse stood there. A dark golden clock was inlaid on top. The hour hand and minute hand touched each other, pointing to twelve o'clock.
Time is running out.
She had to hurry.
The driver started to turn around and prepare to go back.
"Wait a moment."
The knight suddenly stopped the coachman.
"Is there something wrong, sir?"
The driver was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
"Would it be convenient for us to check your batch of vegetables?"
"Ah, ah?" The driver stuttered a little, but still agreed.
Yi Li frowned slightly.
The current situation is somewhat unfavorable to me.
Just as the knight was about to check the vegetables, an angry shout came from not far away.
"You bunch of losers, someone broke into the clock tower! What are you doing here?!"
"What!" The knights who were about to check withdrew their hands and looked at the driver: "Go away, it's not convenient for us to check now."
"Okay, okay."
Upon hearing this, the driver quickly drove away with the cart.
Yi Li watched them running in the opposite direction and was about to get off the car when he heard the driver mumbling to himself.
"Damn it, the people over there want this batch of goods tonight. Now it's even harder to get there."
Yi Li paused and gave up the idea of jumping out of the car.
Maybe she could take them straight to the lighthouse.
But who broke into the lighthouse?
Jin Qing?
The driver pulled the cart to the entrance of an alley. A giant with his face covered stood there. Seeing the driver striding forward, he asked, "Why are you back? Aren't you supposed to be delivering goods?"
"The clock tower is sealed! We can't send it there!"
"You have to deliver it even if you can't. Today is the deadline. If you miss it, both you and I will die."
"It seems we have no choice but to find another way."
The conversation between the two reached Yili's ears.
It seems she guessed right.
Yi Li silently took out a handful of melon seeds.
Just leave the brain-intensive stuff to them.
She recently developed a new way to use space. She uses her mind to peel off the shells of melon seeds, leaving only the kernels inside. This not only saves her hands, but also allows her to use space more proficiently.
"Help, what is Sister Yi doing?"
"People outside were trying to figure out a solution, and she was just peeling melon seeds there."
: "Sister Yi is really brave and careful."
"She's so brave and careful. It seems like she used her own golden finger to peel it off."
: "She really did. I cried to death."
"Other people's golden fingers are used to save their lives, but her golden fingers are used to peel melon seeds for her."
: "As expected of the player I'm a fan of, he's just so special! What can I do? I love him even more!"
In the castle of the Giant Island Lord, a group of giants were kneeling in the hall, with their heads buried in the ground, trembling.
Ishtar sat on her throne, her tone ambiguous, "Are you saying that my wife disappeared without my knowledge? That was the golden cage I built myself. How could she have left on her own?"
The people kneeling below didn't dare to breathe when they heard this.
"We don't know either! Master Island Master!"
Some of them couldn't hold on any longer and ended the conversation quickly.
"Don't know? What a shame I don't know."
Ishtar laughed out of anger.
"I was only away for half a day, and you guys caused me such a big mess. If that's the case, there's no need for you to continue to exist."
As soon as Ishtar finished speaking, everyone's faces turned pale.
They will be destroyed by Ishtar.
The only ending of use is death.
"No! I know! I know!"
A maid in charge of Yili's food knelt down, her face pale and her whole body trembling uncontrollably. "Master Island Master, there's a newcomer who said it was your order to take my place and deliver food to the Island Master's wife!"
"Newcomer? Replacing you? My orders?" Ishtar slowly walked down the stairs and came to the maid. He lowered his eyes to look at her, and the aura emanating from him was suffocating. "Are you handing over your work so carelessly? Just based on that person's words?"
"No! No!" The maid's face was covered in sweat. "He has your ID card. I...I can't help but believe it."
"So, this is all my fault?"
Ishtar bent down and looked at the maid. "You may have made a mistake. I never had an ID card."
The color drained from the maid's face. "Wha-what? No ID card!"
"I remember you. You've been working here for a while, right? Why? Didn't the housekeeper tell you this?"
Ishtar stood up and looked at the butler kneeling in front of him: "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Master Island Master, please spare my life! I didn't mean to forge your ID card! I just..."
The housekeeper knew that his secret was exposed.
Ishtar naturally understood what the butler meant, and the anger in his heart rose at this moment, almost devouring all his sanity.
"You're so brave! How dare you forge my orders!"
Ishtar never expected that his right-hand man would stab him in the back. The butler he trusted so much would dare to do such a thing.
"Since you want to die, I naturally won't force you to stay in this world."
Ishtar's voice became extremely calm.
"Master Island Master! Please give me another chance! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
As soon as the butler finished speaking, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Ishtar looked at them as if they were dead.
"You don't have to explain. Just go with him."
As soon as Ishtar finished speaking, screams and pleas for mercy were heard all around.
He walked out the door without changing his expression.
The castle, once full of people, was now dragged back into darkness.
No one knows what Ishtar is thinking at this moment.
Baideli watched all this in the dark and left silently.
He had to go find Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is missing.
"Bai Deli, give me a drop of blood and I will take you to find your princess, how about that?"
A black fox appeared in front of Baideli, looking at him with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess is in danger now."
Yili, who was sitting in the car eating melon seeds, suddenly sneezed.
“Who is it!”
Upon hearing this, Yi Li quickly hid in the space.
Damn it, who is cursing me?
Don't let her catch you.
"Ouch, where did that sneeze sound come from? Are you hallucinating?"
"Yeah?"
"You haven't closed your eyes for two days. It's normal to hear voices. Once you finish delivering this batch of goods, you can go back and have a good rest."
Finished, no more drafts saved (:>)|￣|＿
