Chapter 300

Yu Tu was confused when he suddenly received a huge amount of energy, but he soon figured out the reason—it was probably because of the update of the comic book "Missing" that he started playing at the end of November.

This huge amount of energy was like timely rain, greatly alleviating the discomfort of the vest. After reading the update of the comics, the smile on Yu Tu's face disappeared.

While readers were worried about what would happen next, the screen on Yu Tu's tablet remained on Gu Hongying's questioning. Yu Tu had never seen Gu Hongying so devastated. He was always positive and optimistic, but Shi Wan's departure hurt him more than anyone thought.

Yu Tu looked at the Kunwu sword on the ice. There were evenly beautiful, densely packed black patterns on the sword, with a hint of light gold.

It was as if all the scattered beads were strung together with a thread—Gu Hongying passed the special training and got the Kunwu Sword as a reward. However, the Kunwu Sword was not delivered to him immediately because they wanted to use Xiao Hui's discarded blood of "Hou" to temper it, so as to make the Kunwu Sword's ability to "kill nightmares and exorcise evil spirits" to a higher level.

As the most advanced zombie product, the Unchanged Bone is extremely difficult to kill, but in the legend, the Qilin is the ancestor of zombies, so Gu Hongying's sword-wielding at Lingshan could cause such a big commotion, and that's why he was taken underground by the Kunwu Sword and precisely positioned with Sui Chunsheng—Shi Wan became a special container for the Unchanged Bone. His natal sword, which was in tune with his mind, was naturally tainted with the Unchanged Bone's violent aura, and could be easily captured even through the seal.

The Kunwu Sword and the Undissolved Bones are similar high-level suppression.

Yu Tu recalled the information about the Hou, among which there was a legend that was not supported by much historical data, saying "There is a beast named Hou in the East China Sea, which can eat dragon brains, fly up and down in the sky, and is extremely ferocious."

If it is inevitable that Canglong will become the "demon consciousness", then the Kunwu Sword is the magic weapon that restrains him. In order for the magic weapon to exert its greatest power, Gu Hongying must have the strength to match it, so there is the body training and soul infusion.

Thinking of this, Yu Tu let out a long sigh. It seemed as if everything had been destined.

The original body that had been taught a lesson by the clan leader and elders finally escaped with great difficulty. Yu Tu immediately used the original body to call Gu Hongying, but only heard a busy tone. He sent a message on the mobile phone, but no one responded.

Yu Tu was silent for a long time, and finally wrote a long message.

The endless supply of energy was still replenishing the vest, but Yu Tu drooped his eyelashes tiredly. He glanced at the calendar on the counter, which was handed to him by Xiao Hui through Song Tu. At that time, there was also a note full of barking words along with the calendar. Xiao Hui said that its bloodline was not stable now, and it would take at least several months. It said that it would work hard and strive to transform into a human form and come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival after the New Year. On the grid belonging to the Lantern Festival of the second year, a bright red claw mark was pressed.

Yu Tu gently touched the claw mark and turned the calendar forward. It was now the night of December 16th, and there was less than half a month left before the barrier was broken.

He leaned back in the recliner. The sound of rain outside the teahouse still did not stop. Yu Tu did not turn on the soundproofing array, so the white noise clearly floated into his ears.

The vest does not need sleep and can work 24 hours a day. Yu Tu is also accustomed to such a high-intensity life, but tonight, listening to the regular sound of rain, he slowly closed his eyes and took a nap, falling into a deep sleep.

The tired consciousness that is being forced to hold on also needs rest.

On the dark country road, Yan Xi turned on the headlights and carefully fiddled with the steering wheel. The headlights could only illuminate a few meters in front of the car. The road, which was only slightly wider than a car, made her drive fearfully.

Her cell phone was thrown on the passenger seat, indicating that she was on a call. A loud and clear voice came from the speakerphone: "Yan Xi, you haven't arrived yet?"

"Don't rush me! Be careful or I'll drive into the fields!" Yan Xi's eyes were fixed on the darkness outside the windshield without even moving her head. "You know I only got my driver's license a few months ago!"

"Don't be nervous. There's no one on the road late at night. Just drive with confidence." Yu Yi on the other end of the phone comforted her, "Nothing could be more outrageous than what happened at the circus that day."

Yan Xi: “…”

She gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Yi, if you don't know how to speak, you don't have to say anything!"

She was forced to recall her tragic experience of turning into a giant watermelon-colored tiger. The damn Di Changqing plucked out a piece of her hair, so that after her soul left the tiger and returned to her body, she developed sequelae—an area the size of three fingernails inexplicably bald on the left back of her head. If her hair had not been relatively thick, it would not have been able to cover such a conspicuous baldness!

Now, short stubbles are sprouting in the bald spots. It is estimated that it will no longer be visible in a few months. However, she is still furious when she thinks about it. After knowing that the comic is true, Yan Xi directly turns into an out-and-out anti-fan of Di Changqing, praying every day that Buyehou will bring justice to Di Changqing.

The hatred of hair pulling is irreconcilable!

"Speaking of which, my family actually has a lot of connections with the outer world..." Yan Xi steered the wheel and turned right into the fork in the road, which was a downhill slope with an unobstructed view. "Yan Momo from the comic exhibition turned out to be my uncle's daughter, and my cousin who would sit at the same table with me for dinner every year during New Year's greetings. It's really a small world!"

"According to the comics, only people who are in trouble will have the opportunity to come into contact with the other world..." Yu Yi's annoying voice came from the phone, "It seems that you two sisters are not very lucky~"

Yu Yi is Yan Xi's childhood friend, or even childhood sweethearts. He has a mean personality and often hits on Yan Xi's sore spots. After being "provoked" by him in the middle of the night, Yan Xi's remaining sleepiness is gone completely - when she returns tomorrow, she will definitely give Yu Yi a good beating!

Yan Xi had just come to plan B of the plan to "punish Yu Yi" when she felt that the car seemed to have hit something. When she turned off the fork in the road, she was very sure that there was no one on this road. Could it be that she hit a stray cat or dog?

Yan Xi's body reacted faster than her brain and she stepped on the brakes immediately. She looked up at the windshield in front of her and could only see flying insects in the area illuminated by the headlights.

Yan Xi called up the dash cam. It was stuck like an old cassette tape, and the screen had turned into mottled blocks of color. If she had encountered this situation before, Yan Xi would have considered two possibilities. One was that the dash cam was damaged by accident, and the other was that someone was waiting for her to get out of the car and rob her in the bushes where the headlights could not reach. The thing her car hit was a deliberately arranged accident.

But after experiencing the accident at the circus and knowing that there are indeed many creatures other than humans in this world, she is no longer so sure.

When Yan Xi was hesitating, she suddenly heard a small cat's meow, weak and painful.

Was she overthinking it? Was she hitting a stray kitten?

"Meow~" The cat's painful cry gradually became weaker.

Yan Xi had no resistance to furry little animals, and she was the one who accidentally hurt the kitten because she didn't look at the road. If stray cats in the countryside were injured and left unattended, they would inevitably die, which made Yan Xi even more conflicted.

She slapped her car screen in frustration. After a few snowflakes flashed, the driving recorder was usable again. Yan Xi looked at it carefully and saw an orange tail next to the wheel with faint traces of blood under the tail.

Oops! I really hit a cat!

Yan Xi looked through the car window at the grass on the side of the road that was only as high as her waist. She also rolled down the window a little and shone a strong flashlight left and right. After confirming that no one was hiding, she immediately opened the car door and went under the wheel to pick up the cat. Her third uncle was a veterinarian and had recently lived with her grandparents. She hurried to take the kitten over. Who knows, maybe she could save its life!

Carefully he pulled the kitten out from under the wheel. Seeing the blood staining half of its fur red, Yan Xi felt extremely guilty. He put the kitten in the passenger seat, turned around, closed the door, and stepped on the accelerator to the floor. There were only ten minutes left, and it seemed that the kitten was strong enough to hold on until the moment they got home!

What she didn't notice was that although the screen showed that the call was still ongoing, there was no signal on her phone.

…

"What happened to you? Yan Xi? Yan Xi! Can Yan Xi hear me?!"

After vaguely hearing the harsh sound of brakes, Yu Yi, who had called her in the middle of the night to keep her company, began to call Yan Xi's name. But for some reason, no one responded on the other end of the phone. Yu Yi could even hear Yan Xi's rapid breathing, but she just didn't respond to him.

The experience of the past few days suddenly flooded into Yu Yi's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder. When he began to struggle with whether to report to the police, Yan Xi's voice finally came from the phone: "What?"

The voice was a little distant, as if it was being spoken from a long distance.

Yu Yi asked worriedly, "I just heard the sound of brakes from your side. What happened?"

"I accidentally hit a little wild cat on the road. I have to take it home and find someone to save it." Yan Xi's voice sounded urgent. "That's all for now. I'm hanging up now."

As soon as Guanyin fell, Yu Yi's phone was hung up mercilessly, so quickly that he didn't even have time to react.

A little strange, he thought.

The next afternoon, there was a knock on the door. Yu Yi rushed to the door and saw Yan Xi through the peephole.

They both attend local universities. Although today is Tuesday, they have no classes, so they agreed to go to the library to review for the final exam. Yu Yi cleared his throat and said, "Come on, let's exchange a secret signal!"

Yan Xi's voice came through the door: "Yu Yi, don't try to get yourself killed!"

"Cooperate with me~" Yu Yi said, "Sitting up in shock from the dying illness———"

"The dark wind blows the rain into the cold window!" Yan Xi was speechless outside the door, "Are you crazy?"

"The boundless horizon is my love———" Yu Yi tried hard not to sing it out loud, "What's the next line?"

"Flowers are blooming at the foot of the green hills." Yan Xi recited it quickly and clearly without thinking, "I'm warning you for the last time! Open the door!"

"Palace Jade Liquid... Never mind." Yu Yi suddenly sighed through a door, "Wait for me outside the door for a while, I'll pack my bag and come right over."

The cell phone on his back had dialed a special number - that was the contact number the Alien Bureau left for them after the last accident.

He was very sure that the "person" outside the door was not Yan Xi.
