After we waited until there was no more noise outside, Xie Yuancheng secretly pulled me outside. I hadn't looked closely before, but the houses and land behind were all destroyed, leaving only the rough outline of some reinforced concrete structures.
"Ying'er, let's follow them through the secret passage."
Xie Yuancheng pulled me away. When I looked back, I saw a little girl in a red dress waving at me, but her smile didn't look natural at all.
She had a scar more than ten centimeters long on her face, which, combined with her fair complexion and red dress, made her look nothing like a normal person.
Xie Yuancheng walked very fast. He led me through the sewers, and as soon as I jumped in, I smelled a pungent odor.
The smell disappeared after a few steps. The ground was a bit low, so I had to bend over to walk, and Xie Yuancheng could only pass by half-squatting.
“Yuancheng, I’ve discovered that your slender frame is actually quite useful. No ordinary man could climb this place now.”
"Ying'er, the situation is tense right now, and you're still trying to make me laugh."
"I just saw a little girl in a red dress waving at me."
Xie Yuancheng stopped and returned to stand beside me: "Where did you see that?"
"She was the one you saw when you pulled me in. She was standing on the ruins, very conspicuous."
Xie Yuancheng's eyes darted around, and it was the first time I noticed that he also had a pair of big eyes. The shape of his eyes was similar to peach blossom eyes, but the black and white of his eyes were clear, making them look even purer.
"Ying'er, let's split up. You take the protective suit."
"No, I want to be with you."
"Listen to me, our coming here has likely been discovered. We can't contact Master now, but I'll be fine."
"Whether there's something to do or not, I want to be with you, and in the next life we'll be husband and wife again."
Xie Yuancheng tightened his grip on my hand, and we quickly crouched down and ran forward. I heard very light footsteps above us. Luckily, I had the Time Bomb the shopkeeper had given me, which could buy us some time.
"Yuancheng, close your eyes."
After he closed his eyes, I threw the bomb. A bright light flashed, and I shouted, "Don't open your eyes, keep running forward!"
Fortunately, the sewer wasn't very long. After running for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, we saw a light, which was a bit flashy.
I sensed something was wrong, so I quickly pulled Xie Yuancheng's hand back and whispered in his ear, "Don't say anything yet."
Xie Yuancheng took the sword wrapped around his belt in his hand, and I braced my hand against the pipe wall and found that the pipe was soft.
I pulled Xie Yuancheng's hand and touched it. His face was filled with shock, and then he drew a large cut on it. When I lifted it up, I saw that it led to an underground parking lot.
Xie Yuancheng jumped down quietly, and only after confirming that everything was safe did he carry me down.
We leaned against a car; the area was quite empty, and you needed a gate to enter the residential compound. Xie Yuancheng looked at the cars parked inside, and suddenly pointed to one.
"Ying'er, that's our car."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is tens of thousands of miles away in a foreign country. Your car is parked in the community parking lot. How could it be here?"
"real."
Xie Yuancheng led me over, and he unlocked the handlebars with his fingerprint, which actually lit up.
"How could that be? It took us two days to fly here."
"Get in the car first. There's a machine inside that connects to your master."
As I sat in the passenger seat, I saw that little girl in the red dress not far away again.
"Yuancheng, she's here again."
Xie Yuancheng looked over: "Where? I don't see it." He quickly started the car; there was Wi-Fi in the car, so I hurriedly took out my phone. The previous order really hadn't been sent; I ordered again and sent it.
Xie Yuancheng drove off, and I saw a little girl in red waving at me from the side. Was I the only one who could see her? I wrote down what had just happened and sent it out. The shopkeeper sent me a location.
Xie Yuancheng glanced at it: "This is the Seven Star Garden near the base. I know how to get there."
"Approaching the base?"
“Master said that the base can be moved around anywhere. When we came here, they also wanted to come over.”
"Then why don't we go with them?"
Xie Yuancheng smiled even more broadly: "I wanted to spend more time with Ying'er, but it's too chaotic here, so I have to go back."
"You think too much."
I put my phone on the seat, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that little girl sitting in the back seat. I looked in the rearview mirror, and it really was her. She grinned at me, and I looked at her like I'd seen a ghost.
"Yuancheng, she's behind us."
Xie Yuancheng turned a corner and went out, where there were injured people everywhere: "Ying'er, see if you can talk to her."
I tried asking her questions, and to my surprise, she actually talked to me.
"I told you not to go in, it's a trap, but you wouldn't listen."
I translated what I said to Xie Yuancheng, and he frowned: "Where did she come from?"
The little girl spoke in a sweet, childlike voice. Although she looked frightening, her voice was lovely: "I was just passing by. I was thinking of going with you, but you ran so fast that I went to the parking lot. I was going to let you know at the end of the road, but luckily you were smart."
"How did you get on the bus? We didn't stop just now."
“I can penetrate all walls. Your car is comfortable. Take me to the outskirts. There are people everywhere here. If I fly back, they will be terrified.”
Where are you going back to?
The little girl tilted her head and said innocently, "Of course I go home. My home is 90,000 light-years away. But I just spread my wings and got there in less than half a day."
I listened with a puzzled look: "Why didn't you go back sooner? This place has fallen."
“I wanted to go back, but those people grabbed me and slashed my face, using my red cloak as cover. Just now, I saw you come out, and you turned around and stepped on the fiber optic cable that was pressing down on me, which freed me.”
"Fiber optic cable can trap you?" I find it hard to believe. What kind of fiber optic cable is this that I can just step on and destroy?
"Of course it won't affect you people. I'm a simulation machine. A tiny chip inside me can destroy a city, so it will have an impact."
This time, I became interested and leaned back in my seat to continue asking, "Why didn't they use your chip and instead took the red cloak?"
"They come from a lower planet. They only know Granny Red Bean. How could a human possibly know about a chip?"
"That's true. So where should we drop you off later?"
The little girl blinked a few times: "How about I go with you? I won't be able to get my red cloak back, and I'll be punished when I go back."
"Just make one more."
She shook her head firmly: "It was woven with light that can only be seen under a microscope at 300x magnification. It could travel thousands of miles a day. It's such a pity to lose it. If they were good people, I would have just given it away, but they used it as cover and destroyed a city."
I looked at Xie Yuancheng, who was driving while also keeping an eye on our conversation. "Yuancheng, what do you think?"
The girl in the back seat was unhappy: "You are you, why do you need to ask for his opinion? You have no opinions of your own at all."
