Faced with our questions, Lao Liu was at a loss for words.
He can't exactly say that the engine oil wasn't actually from the Burning Ghost brand, but that he just wanted to destroy the environment.
"I don't know if this thing is dead or not, but after I burned it like this, it probably has no chance of surviving."
I still had some hesitation. He had indeed been hit by the lightning sword and the girl's two attacks, but he was still unharmed, or rather, he continued to follow in a different form.
This shows that this thing has an extremely strong vitality.
After we got in the car, Yiyi lowered her head and said to me that the wailing sound just now was a little strange, and it disappeared too quickly.
She had some suspicion that the voice was something the monster was faking.
My heart sank. Indeed, that sound had come and gone rather quickly.
If this is a trap set by that bastard to lull us into a false sense of security, and then launch a surprise attack once we've gone some distance, then we're doomed.
However, the probability of this is very small, and now is not the time to dwell on this. I also shared my thoughts with the girl. It is true that the smoke inside the sea of fire is getting thicker and thicker.
Old Liu said that although this place is remote, it's not deserted. If we attract people here and get into trouble and called over for questioning, it will really waste our time.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered the deadline, and then silently opened my phone. What I saw was quite astonishing.
My phone is showing 11 o'clock?!
Holy crap, what's going on? My head is full of questions. We entered Dawu around 11 o'clock, so why are we still in the middle now? Where have we been during this hour-long drive?
As I pondered this, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This is a bit outrageous.
They deliberately manipulated time; surely the journey we just took can't be completely detached from the real world?
I couldn't figure it out at all, so I called out to Yiyi, but her timer also showed that it was 11 o'clock!
Has time really not passed at all along our journey?
If that's the case, then the girl's abilities should still be in a slow recovery phase.
I quickly let Yiyi feel the changes inside her body at that moment.
However, at this moment I suddenly realized that Yi Yi's energy was not as strong as before.
In other words, this moment could absolutely not be the first half of the night.
"Brother, I'm probably not at my strongest right now. I can feel the flow of energy in my body."
It was slower than inside the main house, especially after the monster reached through the skylight.
At this moment, the girl also placed her hands on her chest, hugging them together, as if she were feeling something.
Hearing his words, I became even more convinced that the time on our phones might have been tampered with, and it was definitely not the first half of the night!
Otherwise, wouldn't we have done nothing all day? Did we only run around inside for a few minutes or ten minutes?
I told Lao Liu about it, and Lao Liu then turned on his phone.
Even after pressing the power button several times, there was no response; the black screen seemed to have never been turned on at all.
That's when we realized his phone had completely crashed...
"Old Liu, your phone is really bad. How come it runs out of battery even though you're a driver?"
"No... wait a minute, with this much power, I can easily last until tomorrow. This is a modified, large battery!"
Hearing this, I was quite puzzled. What Lao Liu said couldn't be wrong. After all, he was a driver and needed to complete a lot of orders when driving in shallow areas. Under such circumstances, he would definitely keep his phone fully charged.
Next, Lao Liu took out the charging cable, connected it to the phone, but there was still no response.
I have a vague idea that our time systems might have been hacked.
In other words, it is the second half of the night now, but there is an energy that is deliberately misleading us, making us mistakenly believe that it is the first half of the night!
When I opened the window, the fishy-sweet smell faded, leaving only a faint seawater scent.
"Let's go, Master Liu!"
I quickly told Lao Liu that it was time to leave.
After trying to plug in the power several times without success, Lao Liu gave up trying to stop it.
With a look of resignation, Lao Liu quickly shifted gears and started the car.
The car sped along, and there was still a thin layer of fog outside. I even felt that the sky was about to turn a faint white, but overall it was still night.
Thinking about this, it suddenly occurred to me that since this is in water, the energy cycle here must be slower than on land.
In other words, even if the sun rises outside, you'll probably feel it much slower inside the water.
We didn't speak the whole way; the atmosphere in the carriage was still quite heavy.
After all, this was a journey that took us through a disaster!
I stared out the window at the buildings rushing past outside, most of which were dilapidated. I couldn't believe that, as Lao Liu had just said, people were still living there.
This place is like a ghost town, as if there has never been any sign of life.
Even I think that what Lao Liu said might be false, and that there might be some people in this place who are lying.
Who would want to live in a place like this? It's not a habitable place to begin with, not to mention there are so many demons and monsters around.
The screams I just heard would have scared an ordinary person half to death.
If even someone like us, who has some ability, is so frightened, what about someone who is completely unarmed?
Imagine if you lived here and heard this wailing sound in the middle of the night, who could stand it?
They probably didn't even say goodbye and just fled overnight. This is just too outrageous.
I asked Lei Jijian in my mind, "If you were allowed to live here permanently, how would you feel?"
But Lei Jijian's answer to me was very decisive.
“Master, if you're going to leave me here, it's either because this godforsaken place has driven me crazy, in which case I'll probably never get out.”
But I think it's more likely I'll chop this place down to the ground, making it even more dilapidated than it is now!
