Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Five Folds, Map APP, ...
The autumn rain like silver needles penetrated into the towering wild forest of Jishan Mountain. The mountain path meandered upward in the lead-gray fog. The withered and yellow vines were covered with water droplets, like trembling hands grabbing the trouser legs of passers-by.
Ji Yinhe stopped to take a breath, rain dripping down her hair, her bangs sticking to her wet forehead. Lu Zheng was not much better off. His exquisitely crafted leather shoes had already soaked with mud, and made a "crunching" sound with every step.
"——Old Ji! Ms. Lian! ...Mom and Dad!"
"——Uncle Ji! Aunt Lian!"
Her and Lu Zheng's shouts hit the barren mountain wall and shattered into endless echoes.
The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and was extremely slippery after being washed by rain. Ji Yinhe took every step carefully, his fingernails digging into his palms from his clenched hands, and his knuckles turned deep white due to the force.
The leaves swayed gently in the wind, washed by the rain and looked especially green, but in her eyes, they were like silent giants, watching them indifferently.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the rain and echoed in the mountains!
Ji Yinhe suddenly stopped and turned around.
At the end of the mountain path, several figures were running quickly towards them, shouting as they ran: "Xiao Ji!" "Captain Ji! Teacher Lu!"
A few familiar faces suddenly appeared among the leaves - Tang Ci from Jiangtan City Bureau, with a few familiar-looking criminal police officers, and Yu Jing from Tiandu Branch, followed by his two generals Niu Dazhi and Sang Xiangyang!
"Xiao Ji, Teacher Lu, these are the police raincoats, bulletproof vests, and batons I took directly from the store!" Tang Ci ran over and threw the heavy black bag directly to Lu Zheng.
"We were in a meeting at the Municipal Bureau. We heard something happened to your parents, so we hurried over here with Captain Tang!" Yu Jing smiled innocently. "Captain Ji, even though we're not as smart or skilled as you, it's always good to have one more person to help you!"
The rain was falling, but Ji Yinhe's eyes suddenly felt warm.
I was originally filled with anxiety, but now I was touched by the fact that my old comrades came to help me and felt much more at ease.
"Thank you, I—"
"Don't say anything." Tang Ci interrupted, "Hurry up and divide us into groups and assign tasks. Just treat us as your team members. Don't be polite!"
Niu Dazhi and Sang Xiangyang held up a big umbrella, Yu Jing spread a waterproof cloth on the ground, and Lu Zheng took out a map of Jishan.
Ji Yinhe glanced over and thought for a few seconds, "Teacher Lu and I will climb the steepest trail in the middle. We can take the winding mountain roads on both the east and west sides. I'll have to trouble Captain Tang and Captain Yu!"
Everyone patted their chests and said, "Leave it to us!"
The rain was much lighter at this time, and everyone quickly dispersed along the forked mountain path. Ji Yinhe and Lu Zheng put on their equipment and continued to climb up.
The rocks were so jagged that they sometimes looked like two figures, but when they got closer, they were just a patch of rain-soaked bushes.
The sky grew increasingly dark, and the cold crept up through the cracks in his bones. Comrade Xiao Ji's heart sank, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Was she too late? Could it be that Old Ji and Ms. Lian had already…
But her intuition told her that Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao, as book-traversers, had safely completed so many tasks—
I will definitely not be easily defeated by a "system"!
Oh, right, thinking about the system...
Ji Yinhe paused, gestured to Lu Zheng behind him, and leaned against a relatively dry rock.
Then he took off his waterproof gloves and took out the five-fold bag he always carried with him from his coat pocket.
This wasn't the first time Lu Zheng had seen it, and he couldn't help but frown. "You want to contact your uncle and aunt through this phone?"
"No." Ji Yinhe shook his head, poked the screen a few times, and clicked on a software called "Qiandu Map".
"This feature is called Navigation." Her fingers swept across the screen briskly. "I once noticed in the address bar that there was a location called 'System'."
Lu Zheng took two seconds to catch up with his train of thought. "You mean, this software can help us find where the 'system' is?"
"Yes." Ji Yinhe looked up at the endless mountains and forests and said calmly, "If Zhang San is the system, I think we can give it a try."
She stretched out her finger and carefully tapped the address.
Half a second later, a blue line appeared on the map page.
The location of the system was only 980 meters away from them!
*
The flashlight beam swung around, illuminating the pitch-black cave in front of us.
This is probably a place where nearby residents rest when they go up the mountain. The ground is littered with rags from snakeskin bags and empty cans and glass bottles. It's not a big place, but it's enough to shelter from the rain.
Zhang San turned around and gestured to the two people following him, "There's a rock over there for you to sit on... Don't go too far!"
Ji Jianguo supported Lian Qiao and glared at Zhang San fiercely.
Because they refused to hand over Galaxy Glass and their daughter, Zhang San and his lover behind the system "punished" them.
The system cannot directly cause physical harm to them, but it can write instructions on the computer in the Chuanshushu office to change the scene.
So Zhang San's lover temporarily found a piece of code and directly converted Mei Qingyuan's living room into a cell, while Zhang San took a knife from the kitchen and threatened to chop off their fingers if they didn't obey!
Lian Qiao had often argued with the system when she was playing the storyline before. She knew that the person who issued the task was actually a coward and a weakling, so she immediately stiffened her neck and shouted:
"Come on, at worst, both of us will perish. Even if Old Ji and I bite our tongues to death, we will never tell you a word... Let's see who gives in first!"
Zhang San was indeed frightened and stood there.
The system popped up: "Haven't we already set up a space-time channel in Jishan? Why don't we take the two hosts over there? Ji Yinhe will definitely come looking for them. If we need to save her parents, we can ask her to exchange herself for the Yinhe Glass!"
Zhang San said yes repeatedly, and relying on the buff of the system to change the scene, he dragged Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao, who kept resisting, out of the house.
As soon as he reached the corridor, Ji Jianguo snatched the kitchen knife from him and cut his arm!
At this moment, Zhang San held his barely bandaged hand and asked his lover behind the system with a depressed look: "Did anyone clean up the blood?"
"It's been taken care of. We temporarily pulled a host from the neighboring domineering world to work as a cleaner." My lover asked nervously, "How is your hand?"
"It's okay." Zhang San turned to look at Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao, "Take off the chains on them. I want to talk to them."
There were several crisp "clang" sounds in the cave.
Zhang San sighed as he looked at Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao who had regained their freedom.
"When I was still System 9300 and System 727, we had a pretty good relationship," he said pitifully, playing the sympathy card. "I might be the first system in history to be harmed by its own host... but I'm really doing this for your own good!"
Lian Qiao sneered, "For our own good? Do you think we don't know that you want to hurt Yinhe?"
"Why can't I explain this to you?" Zhang San said with a distressed look, "This world is wrong, and Ji Yinhe's existence is also wrong. As long as I can repair the time tunnel and separate the two books, you can receive the reward for completing the ultimate mission! Then, you can choose to return to the original world, or choose a world to live with each other and have a new child. It's up to you—"
"So what about Yinhe? Is your plan to sacrifice our child?" Ji Jianguo was incredulous. "She is a human being, not a tool for you to correct your mistakes!"
"She's not even as good as a paper figure," Zhang San said coldly. "She shouldn't exist. There's no character with that name in these two books!"
"Fuck you!!!"
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo tacitly grabbed the handcuffs that fell on the ground and threw them towards Zhang San opposite them.
Zhang San was unable to dodge and was hit on the forehead, with blood gushing out. At the same time, under the system's angrily rewriting, the scene in the cave changed rapidly, and the flying sand and rocks on the ground quickly condensed into chains, frantically surrounding Ji Jianguo Lianqiao!
However, the couple was able to complete so many book-traveling missions, and they were no pushovers. As early as when they were brought into the cave, they had already figured out a route to escape.
The rewriting of the system is just an illusion superimposed on the real environment, so no matter what the surroundings become, the location of the cave entrance will not change!
In just a blink of an eye, the stunned Zhang San discovered with frustration that Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao had escaped right under his nose!
He jumped up and ran out of the cave to look around.
A golden panel popped up before him. [System: They're running down the mountain. They're only ten meters away. We can catch them! I'll guide you!]
*
"There's a fork in the road ahead. Turn left. The road is slippery in the rain. Please be careful of falling rocks—"
Ji Yinhe grabbed the Five Folds and walked faster and faster, as if an invisible force was pushing her forward.
There was a loud thunder in the sky, but the rain gradually subsided. The mountain path was still rugged. She and Lu Zheng supported each other and climbed over several slippery, mossy stones. Suddenly, they found that the end point of the mobile phone navigation had changed. The distance suddenly became closer, only a few dozen meters away!
This means that Zhang San is moving towards their location in the wilderness!
Ji Yinhe quickly called Lu Zheng to come and see. The two of them immediately decided to stay put and squat in a hidden place to maintain the advantage of the other party being in the open while they were in the dark.
At this moment, she found that the world suddenly became quiet——
The sound of thunder and rain that had been roaring in my ears seemed to be paused suddenly, the lightning that struck the clouds was fixed, and the raindrops and fallen leaves were frozen in mid-air, as if not affected by gravity.
Ji Yinhe was stunned for a second and turned his gaze to Lu Zheng beside him.
He was protecting her as he walked behind the rocks. His arms were still raised in the air, and his eyes were staring straight at her without moving.
Ji Yinhe stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
No response.
She took a deep breath and looked around again.
No matter how absurd everything is, I have to admit one fact at this moment -
Time, stopped!
*
At the same time, Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo also noticed something unusual, stopped and looked around.
In the silence, footsteps could be faintly heard not far below the mountain.
The only one who can move freely at this time is Ji Yinhe!
The couple exchanged a look of surprise, but just three meters away, Zhang San also caught up silently.
Lian Qiao just opened her mouth and called out "Yin——"
Zhang San pounced forward like an angry and lame bear, interrupting the next words.
But even if it was only one word, Ji Yinhe at the foot of the mountain heard it clearly.
She trembled all over, her heart beat faster, her eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from, and she stumbled up the slope.
Sure enough, Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo were forced into a corner by the flying debris, while Zhang San, with a vicious look on his face, rolled up his sleeves and dragged a chain out of the cave!
“!!!”
Without thinking, Ji Yinhe took out the baton from his waist, strode forward, aimed at Zhang San's arm, and hit it hard.
"Depend on!"
The severe pain went up his arm to his shoulder. Zhang San screamed in pain, threw Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao aside, turned around and pounced on Ji Yinhe!
