The three of them couldn't take a step forward.
From the moment I turned around, I had been fighting with myself in my heart.
This sculpture work is obviously not such a simple task. Judging from the reaction of the client Qin Xiaoxia, he must be very clear about what happened last night. Even the little kid Doudou knows more about it than them.
From the perspective of personal safety, of course the farther and faster you run, the better.
But then again.
Just as Qin Xiaoxia said.
This was the first time in their lives that they had encountered a truly supernatural event, although reason told them that they should stay away from it.
But!
Perhaps I will never encounter such a thing again in the second half of my life. No matter whether my career is booming or I compromise and go home to live a stable life, I will eventually be an ordinary person who does nothing, right?
The psychological struggles of the three people were similar, but the results were the same, which was to stay.
In fact, the time has come for them to make a decision about their own pursuits, as they have achieved almost nothing since graduation.
The so-called "artistic passion" is indeed very cool, but it cannot be used to make a living.
"Be impulsive again!"
This is pretty much their common idea.
One step, two steps, coming back much faster than leaving.
This time there was no delay and the three of them directly chose a stool and sat down.
"Mr. Qin, we feel that since we have taken on this job, we must see it through to the end."
"Yes, we decided to complete the sculpture you needed."
"Um!"
Three sentences from three people express one meaning.
Qin Xiaoxia dragged a few transparent bags from the table under Doudou's disdainful eyes. Inside were hot soy milk, tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, rice balls and the like.
"Have breakfast and talk while you eat."
Qin Xiaoxia didn't keep the secret.
"First of all, I want to remind you that once you decide to do this job, for your safety, you will be protected by a secret realm barrier for the next month."
Now that the three of them have returned, psychologically speaking, the decision has already been made, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver even if some harsh conditions are added.
"That means if you decide to stay, you won't be able to leave the house this month."
As soon as Qin Xiaoxia said this, the three people who were just tearing the packaging were stunned at the same time.
Restrict personal freedom?
Wait! It seems like I overlooked some key information.
"Barrier!?"
"Barrier!?"
"Barrier!?"
The three of them asked this question in unison.
Screw your personal freedom and first figure out whether this word is an auditory hallucination.
"That's right, but it's not a barrier, it's a secret realm barrier. To be exact, it's a secret realm. The word barrier is just something made up by film and television works and novels. I said it this way to make it easier for you to understand."
"The function of the secret realm includes functions similar to those of a barrier, but it cannot be defined in the narrow sense of a barrier."
While narrating, Qin Xiaoxia poured half a cup of water from the cup on the table and the water flowed onto the table.
While the three were still wondering, the water on the table suddenly underwent an amazing change.
The water flowed upward layer by layer, like forming a curtain, and within a few seconds turned into a spherical water curtain.
"Is this what you understand the barrier to look like?"
But the three of them didn't hear much of Qin Xiaoxia's words.
At this moment, they all held their breath and watched the magical scene on the table, and only breathed in when they felt uncomfortable.
Then they all looked at Qin Xiaoxia, feeling excited and confused.
"My cousin is asking you questions~~It's impolite!"
Doudou sprayed the fried dough stick residue at them and said something, and the three of them suddenly woke up from their dream.
"Is this the barrier?"
Nan Feng asked stupidly.
Doudou laughed out loud.
"Idiot! It's just a water curtain!"
Qin Xiaoxia smiled and rubbed Doudou's head.
"He's right, it's just a water curtain, but Nanfeng's understanding is actually similar."
"In conventional novels and movies, the so-called 'barrier' is something similar, except that it is much stronger than the soft water curtain."
"But the secret realm is different. It is a dream realm created using ingenious magic. It has all kinds of incredible abilities, including protection."
At this time, Nanfeng and others wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, so they could only continue listening excitedly and nervously.
"Eat, aren't you hungry?"
Qin Xiaoxia suddenly said this "digression".
The three of them responded quickly with “Oh,” “Oh,” and “Oh,” like elementary school students who had done something wrong.
Then I unpacked my breakfast and started eating.
Qin Xiaoxia was waiting for one of the three to ask questions like "Why restrict their freedom?" or "How can you restrict our freedom?"
But these three guys were really concentrating on eating. They looked at the water curtain ball on the table, then at him, and had no intention of asking such questions at all.
Best...
What a waste of emotion.
Although Doudou was eating, compared to Qin Xiaoxia who remained calm, his expression was obviously disappointed.
What's wrong with these three people? Can't they have a little verbal fight? Why does it feel like the eldest cousin lay down before he even made a move?
"Well, in short, what I want to say is that the activation of the secret realm is all-encompassing, and your sculpture work is not as simple as you think. If you leave the protection of the secret realm during this period, it will be difficult to guarantee your safety."
Now the three of them finally had a normal reaction.
"What dangers are there? What does this sculpture affect? What do they want to do to us?"
This is what Gu Hao asked.
"If we don't go out, will it be okay?"
This is what Nanfeng asked.
"What if the barrier, er no, the secret realm can't stop us? Mr. Qin, will you protect us?"
The person who asked this question is Zhang Ruliang.
Well, this reaction is not too normal.
"As long as you are within the secret realm, the power of the Red Banshee will protect you and ensure your personal safety."
As these words fell, there was a light and pleasant sigh.
A transparent red figure stretched out and appeared at one side of the empty hall, quietly watching the people having breakfast with sea-blue eyes.
"After the fall of the Red Banshee, she became a pursuer of the order of truth and the guardian of this secret realm. As far as the current world is concerned, nothing can hurt you inside."
After a pause, Qin Xiaoxia added a sentence.
"At least, the world is still like this now."
Finally, the three guys got it. Although their eyes were always on the Red Banshee, Gu Hao still turned around and asked Qin Xiaoxia a question.
"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by 'currently'?"
Doudou interrupted at the right time, still with the same disdainful tone.
"Of course I mean it literally! Why do you think we have to make such a big preparation? Telling you something now would be like harming you. You can only eat as much as you can!"
All three of them subconsciously looked at the pile of packaging bags in front of Doudou's table. This was at least enough for breakfast for seven or eight adults.
…
When the three craftsmen decided in their hearts that the work must be completed.
In a countryside near the French city of Lyon, an expedition team of young people found this tranquil reservoir by following a worn so-called "secret map".
The map was yellowish-brown in color and was carefully protected by a layer of transparent plastic material, which was used by the muscular young man in the lead.
“It should be around here!”
More than a dozen people in the team came together to look at this precious map, which was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in their leader's family.
It has been passed down for at least ten generations, but the exact year is still unknown. Along with the map, there is also a lame story.
"But we've searched everywhere here, and we can't find it!"
A female team member looked around and said.
It is so old that it is not surprising that the landmarks have changed.
"No, there's one place we haven't looked for yet."
A black guy in the team pointed to the water surface of the reservoir not far away.
"We haven't found it yet!"
The leader raised his eyes from the map and gazed at the water in the distance. The sunlight shone on the ripples, casting a golden glow.
In the upper left corner of the map in his hand, a hot fireball pattern was burning.
