"I always feel like these two are setting up flags for each other."
Yan Ruoying spoke softly, trying her best to minimize her presence.
"To be honest, if they weren't so incredibly strong, I would really prefer not to run into couples or spouses."
Ji Hui rarely revealed his true thoughts, and Yan Ruoying and Pusheng both looked over at him, "What do you mean?"
"If one person's mind is in turmoil, the other is also prone to becoming confused. When emotions run high, it's easy for one person to bring two others to their deaths."
Yan Ruoying thought about it and realized it made sense. "That makes sense, but you need to be a couple who truly love each other. Otherwise, well, it's just so-so."
"Pah, that's bad luck, you two shouldn't talk about this." Pu Sheng slapped himself twice to comfort himself, and quickly caught up with the two people in front of him.
After passing the marble relief, the five entered a corridor, and after passing through it, a circular indoor plaza was revealed to them.
Yan Ruoying's eyes darted around; there wasn't a single guard in sight, not even a ghost.
She said, "The Tower of Faith is so important, and the Queen just left it there. It's either a trap or she has a backup plan. Should we still go in? Is she waiting for us on the other side?"
Shi Jinzhe: "The Queen went to the frozen port. She found that she couldn't come back in time. Even if she were, Shekh would be there to handle it."
Shekh ignored him and walked into the circular plaza first.
She was still angry and wouldn't speak to Shi Jinzhe.
Shi Jinzhe didn't think anything of it and followed her. The three people behind her, however, developed a habit of feeling awkward on behalf of others and seemed a little uncomfortable.
I always feel like they should do something, but I don't know what would be appropriate. It's really frustrating.
Upon arriving at the center of the circular plaza, a white halo suddenly enveloped the five people.
The ground beneath their feet sank and caved in, and the halo gradually gathered into a curtain of white light mist, eventually condensing into a barrier layer resembling frosted glass, making it impossible to see the outside world clearly.
Pu Sheng muttered to himself, "It's a bit like a transit space, but this one isn't pure white."
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Shi Jinzhe turned his head, about to speak to Pusheng, when suddenly a tiny bit of his life force was drained from his body.
The teleportation array was activated immediately, and the five people disappeared from their original spot in a flash.
...
The outer city area of the capital.
The girl, who had met Shi Jinzhe's camp once last night, stopped crying and let out a blank hiccup.
She couldn't understand why her parents, who should have passed away at fifty, had just lain down and then sat up again.
Did they not die, or did they come back to life?
"Dad, Mom, what are you...?"
“We don’t know either. Everything went black for a moment, and I thought I was going to die, but then I suddenly felt strong again, and then your father and I were able to open our eyes…”
The girl hugged her parents tightly, saying, "No matter what the reason, it's good that you're alive!"
The same thing is happening elsewhere in the capital city, with elderly parents and friends of different ages...
That night, many people discovered that those who had reached the age of fifty had survived.
Some were pleasantly surprised, while others were skeptical. Because beggars and homeless people were ignored, wealthy businessmen who had registered their information became the subject of much discussion.
Fifty years and one day.
This is truly an auspicious day. Some people see it as a time of change and begin to envision the future, especially the younger indigenous people who are making longer-term plans for the future.
However, he had no way of knowing all this, he only knew that activating the teleportation array required a supply of life force.
The reason why people here die young is now clear.
Because the Queen's teleportation array is absorbing their life force.
He stepped out of the teleportation array inside the palace, thinking to himself that this queen really knew how to enjoy her power to the fullest.
Shi Jinzhe informed everyone of this discovery and commented on the Queen, saying, "She is a dictator capable of unifying the entire continent."
Ji Hui: "Perhaps this is her purpose in vying for power and profit."
Yan Ruoying shrugged and agreed: "After all, she said she was supreme."
“Alas, history tells us that we should not fear incompetent rulers or mediocre rulers, but rather tyrants who are wise at first but become foolish later.” Pu Sheng sighed. “I think the Queen is the last one to do something like this.”
Shi Jinzhe: "Let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, every step we take could be a trap. Everyone, please be careful."
The array within the palace is located in the most secluded corner, where it is also unattended.
Shekh activated his senses to their highest level, said that no one was around, and then left the teleportation array's range with an air of composure.
And they walked in one direction with a very purpose.
Shi Jinzhe stared at her retreating figure, "It's been over ten minutes..."
“If your life force drops even a little, I’ll add another ten minutes.” Shekh, with his keen hearing, heard his words clearly.
"..." Shi Jinzhe wanted to explain, but felt that explaining would be like making excuses.
He pondered for a while, then added the same array to himself before catching up with Shekh. "I know you're angry because you're worried about me. I've added a few more layers of array to myself. Please talk to me."
"ignore."
"I know you're angry because you like me so much."
"hehe."
Shekh's gaze swept over Shi Jinzhe's lifeless face. Shi Jinzhe really knew how to save face.
"I will never do this without your permission again," Shi Jinzhe assured him, raising four fingers in a solemn manner. "I swear to God."
What if I fail to do it?
"Then punish me..."
"Fine, just this once."
Shekh didn't let him continue, slightly raising his chin and looking away, "You have to discuss the use of these props with me in the future. If you make decisions on your own again, I'll poison you."
"I will do it." Shi Jinzhe was much more serious than before.
After dealing with personal matters that would affect his mood, he asked Shekh, "Did you remember something when you walked in this direction?"
"Hmm, I vaguely remember that it was a place where the Queen once lived."
