Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Bai Tianming shook gently...
Bai Tianming shook his head slightly, as if the whole thing really had nothing to do with him. He smiled and said, "I'm really wronged!"
If one only listened to his gentle tone, one might really think that he was being wronged. However, this was not Shabu's first time meeting him, so she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
Joshua returned to his home exhausted and lay on the bed, ready to rest again. After all, it was getting dark soon, and he felt that the quality of his rest in the palace was not good.
But he suddenly jumped up from the bed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and the quilt on his body jumped up. He sat on the bed, and the bed board creaked, as if in protest against his sudden and violent action, but it did not achieve any effect.
He sat there blankly, feeling many memories pouring out of his mind, as if he had just been lying in bed and the plug of a water tank was suddenly pulled out, so that the water in the tank rushed into his brain.
He shook his head, unable to stop the memories from flooding back, nor could he stop the strange feeling of goosebumps all over his body. With his brows tightly furrowed and his face gradually turning pale, he began to carefully examine these memories, trying to figure out what was going on.
Then he saw—
Bai Tianming's face emerged from his memory. This was simply the most terrifying thing in the world. He took a breath of cold air and his face turned pale in an instant.
Before he could fully accept this, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He walked over to open the door, but there was no one there. He closed the door, and the knock started again.
He began to suspect that there was something wrong with the door, which was why there was a knocking sound. He found something and stuck it in the gap of the door, so that the door could not be closed or locked, and there should be no knocking sound.
Thinking of this, he turned around and clapped his hands. Before he walked to his seat to rest, he heard another knock on the door. He turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing. He had to frown and turn back, but at this time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because he saw the situation behind him vaguely reflected in the window opposite, and in the shadow on the window, he saw a faint blue eye, sandwiched between the crack of the door.
The eyes seemed to have discovered him, blinked at him, and then disappeared. He was suddenly startled, and felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He turned around and saw that the door was slowly opening in front of him, like a disdainful provocation, or a playful mockery.
He felt cold sweat all over his body, so he put on his coat and shoes and rushed out. He couldn't stay in that room any longer, as it made him feel unsafe.
But where could he go? Where was it safe?
He suddenly remembered that since one didn't have to pay to read books in the bookstore, there were often people inside. People needed candles to read, so it must be bright there and safe. He could try going there.
He rushed into the bookstore.
He saw Isaac inside.
Isaac didn't seem to expect to see him in the bookstore at this time. He was stunned for a moment, put the book down and left. However, there seemed to be something left in the half-closed book.
Joshua became suspicious, suspecting there might be a curse or an eye that he had just missed, so he rushed over and opened the book.
There was only a fresh, long, white bookmark inside with a line of words on it, as if it had been written not long ago. Joshua narrowed his eyes, immediately put the bookmark away and put it in his pocket. As if nothing had happened, he put the book he had just taken back and turned to leave.
As he left, Joshua quickly glanced around to make sure no one else saw what had just happened in this secret, narrow, dark place.
He put one hand in his pocket and held the bookmark tightly to prevent the light and delicate thing from flying away in the wind without him noticing.
The other hand was at his side, swinging like a rowing oar, paddling the wind, making him go faster, almost flying out. His face was solemn, his eyebrows pressed against his eyes, and he was slightly gritting his teeth, wishing he had a wheel of fire under his feet.
He rushed into a lush grove and saw a narrow wooden house. The road was remote, there were few people, and the sky was dim.
Even the air is moist and sticky, as if all secrets will remain here, like a bug stuck in a spider web, unable to leave no matter what.
The room was pitch black with no lights on, like a giant python with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap. This terrifying visual experience made Joshua stop in his tracks.
He gritted his teeth and almost bit his tongue, the pain stimulating him.
He shuddered all over and tasted blood in his mouth. He swallowed it as if it were candy. Suddenly, he felt his heart beating stronger, as if encouraged. He couldn't tell whether it was courage, excitement or stimulation.
He stared at the room step by step, without thinking anything, just feeling a little hot, or maybe it was because the surroundings were too cold. Anyway, he walked forward and went in.
He pushed open the door of the cabin and saw a pale man inside.
He almost suspected that it was the mastermind or a piece of paper cut into a human shape. He took a deep breath, stopped screaming, and looked carefully. The man turned around.
It turned out to be Isaac.
It turned out to be Isaac.
He breathed a sigh of relief. He had never been so glad that the person he met was Isaac.
If his usual self had seen him like this, he would have scolded him severely, because he couldn't stand Isaac, and even more so, he couldn't stand himself feeling lucky in front of Isaac.
He disliked Isaac because he felt that Isaac was obviously more arrogant than him, said unpleasant things before him, and tried to stop Bai Tianming from continuing to use cards for entertainment before him.
Why didn't Bai Tianming punish Isaac? Why didn't Bai Tianming give the card to Isaac instead? Did Bai Tianming hate him so much and like Isaac so much?
Whether as a minister, vying for Bai Tianming's favor, or as an unlucky guy, sharing the badness of the cards, he felt that this was unfair, so he hated Isaac.
"What do you mean?" Joshua stared at Isaac with a prejudiced look, as if he was staring at his lifelong enemy, and asked him coldly.
Isaac looked at him with an extremely critical gaze, as if he were a referee inspecting a shiny black dog at a world-class competition. He frowned, not quite satisfied, but there was nothing he could do, as he probably couldn't find anything better. He could only pinch his nose and reluctantly accept it, asking with a half-smile, "Since you're here, don't you know?"
"You won't speak frankly?" Joshua raised an eyebrow, his voice filled with condescending disdain. "So you're such a coward! I shouldn't have placed any hope in you, let alone tried to draw courage from you. It's my fault. I'm leaving now."
He said, and turned to leave.
Isaac was standing behind him, slowly watching his back. As if he had won, he pulled out a chair and sat down. With a hint of a sneer, he sneered at him, "I thought you were so smart that you could understand what I said. Now it seems you are just a stupid dog."
Joshua immediately turned around and walked up to him angrily, stomping on the fragile and rotten wooden floorboards, making a drum-like sound, and shouted, "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
Isaac sat on a chair, looking up at him, as if he were kneeling before him. With a confident smile on his face, he said slowly, "Let's be frank and discuss the feasibility of that matter, shall we?"
Joshua glared, raised his eyebrows, took two steps back, and put some distance between them. The blush on his face gradually faded, and he became as calm as if he had just been pulled out of an ice cellar.
He stared at Isaac in front of him, as if judging whether this man could be trusted. Isaac sat there calmly, allowing him to look at him, waiting for his thought and decision.
Joshua blinked and looked away, hesitant.
"My patience has its limits," Isaac sneered at him and said slowly, "If you still can't figure it out, I'll leave. I took a huge risk to come here and wait for you."
Joshua sneered, "Doesn't coming here mean I'm taking no risks? Don't you know I just pulled out a Lust Card today? If that card hasn't broken yet, do you think I'll let you go? Do you think you can escape successfully? Do you think you can escape unscathed?"
Isaac's expression softened, as if he had heard someone say they were going to stuff him to death with butter. With a touch of interest, as if he had gotten it from Bai Tianming, he stared at Joshua with a hint of contempt and said with a smile, "I know the card is broken. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left the palace. Even if you wanted to, His Majesty wouldn't have let you go.
Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself.
Speaking of danger, the cards are in your hand, His Majesty is watching you, and you are praying to the statue hoping to break a card that is beyond your ability. Who is more dangerous than you?
As for the risk you took by coming here, His Majesty still wants to see you break those cards, so he won't kill you easily unless you insist on doing something he can't tolerate. Don't blame me then.
So I came here, the risk I took was greater than yours, not to mention, the reason you were willing to come here was for that matter, right? Since it was for that matter, you should take this risk, I am just -"
Isaac paused, lowered his eyelids, hiding the terrifying darkness in his dark pupils. He grinned coldly, almost gritting his teeth, "I'll give you a key to open the door. Come if you want. If you don't want to come, and the truth is exposed, I'll be the one to die."
