During the seven days Xia Chuhe worked at the Tian Sheng Temple, he did many things.
Find out the oddities of Blue, explore the city of the Temple of the Gods, and, "diligently," get to work.
Xia Chuhe has now confirmed Bru's strangeness—in this world, everything comes at a price. If someone can only enjoy happiness, it means someone else is bearing the pain for them.
Xia Chuhe found someone to bear the pain.
Exploring the Temple of the Heavenly God yielded little result. Due to the special materials used, even those who could use earth-遁 (a type of magical escape technique) could not reach many places, let alone find the entrance to the Land of Rules.
As for his "diligent" work, Xia Chuhe has already been rewarded with a promotion and a raise.
But now, she's being blocked by the pre-pay raise check.
This is an inescapable inspection. Even if the winter-damaged seedlings learn to transfer their souls, it cannot reverse the fate of the summer harvest; at most, it can only slightly improve the summer harvest's situation.
Therefore, Xia Chuhe had already prepared for the worst.
When her mask was torn off, Xia Chuhe shrank almost imperceptibly, her feet already sinking into the sand.
Surprisingly, the supervisor didn't want to kill her; he only intended to capture her alive.
In order to find out the intentions of the Heavenly God Temple, Xia Chuhe pretended to be obedient and was locked in a cell.
The cell was sealed on all four sides, with only a few vents on the side with the door, just big enough for a round hummingbird the size of a bee to fly out.
The hummingbird clung tightly to the back of the supervisor's collar, faithfully recording everything that happened.
In the midst of the supervisor's comings and goings, it accurately identified the person the supervisor respected most and recorded the real reason why Xia Chuhe was not killed.
[Miss Lu, thanks to your brilliant strategy, we've killed nine people in a row. Today, someone almost escaped, but thankfully we caught her in time. Can you guess who it was?]
[Stop talking nonsense, or I'll replace you tomorrow.]
[It's Xia Chuhe! We've already locked her up. To put your mind at ease, we can broadcast the killing of her live tomorrow.]
[Don't do it tomorrow, do it tonight!]
【receive!】
When Hummingbird brought the video to Xia Chuhe, there was only one hour left before nightfall.
Since most of the wasteland's population lives underground, and underground time is unaffected by sunrise and sunset, the base stipulates that night begins at 8 PM. The Celestial Temple, like the base, is controlled by the upper echelons and also uses the same time regulations.
Xia Chuhe lay on the only bed in the cell, staring blankly at the "eye" on the ceiling. Under the covers, she released her leather bag.
If Dong Huimiao can't transfer her soul, her only trump card for escaping is the parrot; there's not even any soil left in the prison cell.
Time ticked by, and the watch vibrated slightly.
It was eight o'clock when a noise came from the cell door.
Xia Chuhe's consciousness remained on the farm, where the hyacinth macaw was bullying the chicks in the chicken coop, unaware that he had been given an important mission.
Just as Xia Chuhe was about to move the parrot out, she heard an extremely faint cough, and her flat, cold skin immediately became full and warm.
Xia Chuhe pulled the blanket over his head: "Please, die for me once."
After Xia Chuhe was arrested by his supervisor, Dong Huimiao belatedly realized that Xia Chuhe wanted to make his body into a "Xia Chuhe" persona. She had already prepared to die in Xia Chuhe's place.
For clues, for a third of the Holy Temple, for Arya and her sisters to live a peaceful life, I would risk my life a hundred times!
"Beg me." Dong Huimiao couldn't help but laugh, revealing eight white teeth. This request was for her dignity!
The flexible and adaptable Xia Chuhe whimpered, "Please, save me."
In Xia Chuhe's mind, whether she said it or Dong Huimiao said it, it was just a harmless little joke. Since Dong Huimiao liked it, she might as well take it as making the amulet happy.
After Dong destroyed the seedlings and was satisfied, he went next to Xia Chuhe, lifted the quilt, and piled the extra quilt on Xia Chuhe to cover up the fact that there was another person under the quilt.
The cell door opened, and the person in charge was confronted with "Xia Chuhe's" eight large white teeth, which made his hair stand on end in fright. Even facing death, this man could still laugh; it was quite chilling.
"What are you laughing at? You'll be beheaded in a minute!"
"Hmph, I laugh at some people who consider themselves to be in high positions, but in reality they have lost all dignity."
The person in charge couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. "Sigh, Miss Lu is really hard to please. It's too difficult to act like a subservient servant every day."
The person in charge shed a handful of bitter tears, but turned around with a smile on his face. Looking at the person behind him who was recording with a wristwatch on his head, his smile became even more ingratiating.
"Miss Lu, if there are no problems, my men are about to make their move. Those outside, level one alert!"
The person in charge immediately changed his attitude towards "Xia Chuhe": "Lord Xia, turn around and let us verify the authenticity."
"Hmph! You don't need to test it, Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels!"
Xia Chuhe pushed her palms forward, and a wall of fire shot out from her palms, the fierce flames splitting the room in two.
Lying flat under the covers, Xia Chuhe reluctantly cooperated with the arson, now truly feeling utterly humiliated. She had initially thought the phrase "winter destruction of seedlings" was a sarcastic jab at her servile plight, but it turned out to be a prophecy for Xia Chuhe's future!
That's so cringeworthy!
How embarrassing!
Xia Chuhe imagined her death scene to be one of complete silence in the room, where she would sit down on a bench with an air of nonchalance, calm and composed, ready to die a heroic death.
It's definitely not about shouting "Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels" and then dying a horrible death!
Seeing the room filled with flames, Lu Yunzhao felt much more at ease; this time it should really be Xia Chuhe.
The person in charge and the person recording the video were forced out of the cell by the flames.
"Put out the fire! Prepare the guns!"
The water-evolved beings who had been preparing at the entrance poured water into the cell to extinguish the flames.
The evolved being had two dark gun barrels mounted on his shoulder. As soon as the flames went out, he immediately opened fire on "Xia Chuhe".
Xia Chuhe stood in front of the table, nearly two meters away from the bed, his chest almost riddled with bullet holes, but he didn't back down an inch.
The person in charge waved behind him: "Cut off her head."
A head fell to the ground, blood splattered all over the wall, and looking into the cavity, you could even see the lungs twitching.
"Well done." Lu Yunzhao, who had watched the whole process, felt reassured and gave the person in charge his affirmation for the first time.
The person in charge was almost moved to tears, but the next second Lu Yunzhao asked, "She came alone? Didn't she have any accomplices?"
"Yes, yes, yes, they've all been killed. I'll send you the pictures." The person in charge hurriedly sent the fake pictures that he had hired to Lu Yunzhao.
Lu Yunzhao turned off the live stream with satisfaction and went to enjoy the replay.
The person in charge's smile vanished, and he said to the others with a stern face, "Leave one person behind to clean the cell."
The crowd dispersed, leaving only the water-evolved evolver to clean the cell.
He dragged the body out of the cell, cleaned the floor and walls, and made the bed.
He had just lifted a corner of the blanket when he saw a pair of eyes.
