Chapter 252 "Send me away one more time"
On the twelfth floor, as Tu Yao's location disappeared, Tu Chaoxi's cell phone signal also appeared intermittently.
The building shook only once, followed by screams from all directions.
Tu Chaoxi's expression changed slightly, and she immediately went out to check the situation.
Nan Ke grabbed him and said calmly, "Brother, don't go out for now."
“We are located on the middle floor of the hotel, and in the outermost room, there is a considerable flow of people upstairs and downstairs, which could very likely cause congestion and stampedes.”
Sure enough, when Lin Yue opened the door, he saw that the emergency exit at the far end of the corridor was already crowded with people.
Cheng Sangsang called at that moment.
"Is Tu Xiaomao with you?"
Tu Chaoxi answered the phone and asked.
Cheng Sangsang didn't know what to say for a moment, so Xu Chi took the phone: "Teacher Tu, what's the situation on the twelfth floor right now?"
Tu Chaoxi keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Xu Chi, where is my sister?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "I don't know."
"you do not know?"
Tu Chaoxi's voice instantly rose: "You always know when Tu Xiaomao gets lost, how could you not know this time!"
"Wait, she left early this morning, saying she was going to the hospital, so she's definitely safe now, right!"
Tu Chaoxi felt as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope.
Tu Yao might be on her way back. The roads in Hong Kong are so congested, her sister would be terrified if she saw the news!
On the other end of the phone, the three brothers stared intently at the screen.
Xu Chi knew that Tu Chaoxi would not give up until he made things clear.
He paused, then said softly:
"...Teacher Tu, she will only be safe if you are safe."
He didn't know where Tu Yao was trapped, but no matter where she was trapped, she would never give up on saving her brothers and these people.
Xu Chi dared not gamble. If Tu Yao was also in trouble, what price would she have to pay if she came up with a way to save people?
Tu Chaoxi felt dizzy for a moment.
Nan Ke and Lin Yue's faces both darkened.
...The meaning of Xu Chi is not difficult to understand.
The sudden shaking of the building, the unusual weather, the lost location – even the dumbest person should understand that this is no ordinary crisis.
Tu Yao, their sister, may be facing a danger a hundred or a thousand times greater than theirs.
"...Okay, tell me what I need to do now."
Tu Chaoxi calmed down and tried to remain composed, saying, "I will cooperate with everything."
"I will arrange air support from the middle and upper floors. You need to tell me the congestion situation in the stairwells on the twelfth floor so that I can confirm a convenient location for rescue."
Nan Ke immediately said, "Brother, I'll go."
Lin Yue was already preparing to bury his head and walk forward.
Tu Chaoxi immediately grabbed one of them with each hand and assigned tasks: "I'll go to the thirteenth floor, Nan Ke will go down, and Lao San will stay here and keep in touch."
Before Lin Yue could refuse, Tu Chaoxi immediately slapped him and said coldly, "Don't talk back now. Your leg is just healed, so listen to your brother."
"You also have a task: continue to contact Tu Xiaomao."
After saying that, Tu Chaoxi and Nan Ke opened the door and ran into the crowd without looking back.
At the same time, Lin Yue took out his phone and began dialing the number he knew by heart again and again.
If you can't get through the first time, try again.
If you can't get through twice, try a third time.
Faint, anxious sobs could be heard from all around.
"...What should I do? I've made several calls, but I can't get through. The signal keeps dropping."
"I heard that many people are injured on the upper floors, and the lower floors are so congested that it's impossible to get out..."
As Lin Yue listened, his hand trembled slightly as he dialed the number.
Water droplets dripped from the screen, which he quickly wiped away, also wiping his eyes, before continuing to tap away.
...
The emergency exit was full of people going downhill, except for Tu Chaoxi who was going against the flow. After squeezing through just one floor, Tu Chaoxi was already covered in sweat.
He ran all over the floor, panting as he analyzed, "Xu Chi, I've checked. There are indeed viewing windows on the southeast side of the emergency exits on each floor, just like the ones the hotel staff mentioned."
Tu Chaoxi looked around and saw a small windowsill that was only three or four square meters in size.
"There are two windowsills in total, and both are currently in safe locations. Do you think you could get someone to come over..."
Before he could finish speaking, the building suddenly began to shake violently!
Tu Chaoxi lost her balance and crashed to the ground!
The sound of shattering glass echoed around them.
He quickly grabbed the nearest horizontal bar, but it was no use at all; he felt his whole body sliding down!
The entire building was filled with screams even more intense than before.
After an unknown amount of time, Tu Chaoxi's eyelids twitched. When she looked up again, she saw that both the viewing window and the small windowsill opposite were almost all shattered in a strange way, and the building's tilt was dropping sharply.
It has visibly lost its load-bearing capacity!
He was stuck between two horizontal bars, less than three meters away from the shattered viewing window, which was wide open and he could fall at any moment.
...escaped death.
Tu Chaoxi clenched his fists tightly. He roughly understood that while someone wanted to destroy this building, there was also someone... protecting them.
In the dark corridor, the black mist looked down down with regret at this scene.
"So close, so very close."
"But it's alright."
He had always enjoyed the pleasure of tormenting others, muttering, "Human power can never catch up with the forces of the unnatural. How long can you keep up with me?"
On the other side, Tu Chaoxi calmed down and immediately said into her phone, "Xu Chi, the rescue position on the thirteenth floor has been destroyed. I estimate that the other floors are the same."
But after he finished speaking, there was no response from the other end. He quickly picked up his phone and looked at it. Instantly, his heart sank.
The cell phone signal disappeared.
"The rescue location has been destroyed, and now the signal is gone! What's going on?!"
Cheng Sangsang complained anxiously, "Is this some kind of deliberate attempt to go against us?!"
"what to do?"
Xu Chi stood there, his brows furrowed deeply.
He suddenly realized that the false Heavenly Dao had always created trouble through Chu Man and Bai Chumeng, and no matter how serious it was, there was always a source of solution.
But things are different now.
This time, it's like a replay of what happened eighteen years ago.
Everything is characterized by its unpredictability and uncontrollability.
...
In the corridor, Tu Yao was also knocked to the ground by the building's second sway, and she subconsciously looked in the direction outside the hotel.
This was the first time she had seen a serious expression on Xu Chi's face.
Not to mention Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai, who are always emotionally expressive, were already so anxious that their eyes were red.
……what to do
what to do.
The black mist listened with satisfaction to the cries that echoed all around, and continued to coax, "How is it?"
"I promise you, I will always be a fair and just force of Heaven."
"As long as you agree to disappear, the world will immediately return to normal."
Wait a minute... Tu Yao suddenly looked up at the black mist that was constantly being consumed on the other side.
...She seemed to have noticed a problem.
Little Uncle, over the years, it seems that the fake Heavenly Dao has been absorbing fortune through one medium after another: Bai Chumeng, Chu Man, Sang Sang's father and new wife.
Why can't he do it himself?
110 didn't say anything.
Tu Yao swallowed nervously, trying to guess.
because……
Can't you do it yourself?
But eighteen years ago, he himself caused the cruise ship to sink, killing her parents.
After that day, as if he were under some kind of restriction, he no longer acted on his own, but instead directed Chu Man, and later Bai Chumeng...
Until today, this restriction seems to have disappeared.
She still didn't get a response from 110.
Tu Yao continued to think.
What's the difference between eighteen years ago and today...?
In a flash, Tu Yao suddenly understood something.
"...Because he is a substitute for the Heavenly Dao, he has the same rights as the Heavenly Dao when it exists."
"But when the Heavenly Dao ceases to exist, it also has no right to interfere with or deal with the humans in this world. Otherwise, it would suffer a backlash, right?"
As Tu Yao spoke, her thoughts became clearer: "So when I was five years old, you sent me away."
"Because you have tied all the fortune to me and my brothers. Once I am sent away, the Heavenly Way will no longer be complete."
Similarly, the right that this black mist belonged to the Heavenly Dao was also revoked.
Fearing the backlash, he could only rely on Chu Man and Bai Chumeng in turn.
Is it right?
...
110 remained silent for a long time.
He was not at all surprised that Tu Yao would think of these things.
Tu Xiaomao is always best at finding logical loopholes and has the most acute analytical skills.
He has always been... His smartest child.
Tu Yao stared blankly at the blue light.
110 didn't answer, but she already knew from His reaction that what He said was right.
If the true Heavenly Way exists, then a false Heavenly Way will not suffer backlash.
...But what if the way of Heaven is flawed?
But what if the way of Heaven is flawed?
Will this black mist immediately suffer a backlash?
Will her brother, friends, everyone be safe immediately...?
She looked up and saw that the blue light floating above her was much weaker than before.
Just as the black fog said before, today is like a replay of the scene from eighteen years ago.
The final result was nothing more than mutual destruction and countless deaths.
Rescue workers were constantly going in and out of the building, and everyone was exposed to danger.
Outside the building, Cheng Sangsang couldn't hold back and secretly started crying.
Xu Bai hugged her, sobbing as he comforted her.
Beside him, Xu Chi, pale-faced and tense, continuously mobilized his men.
The building shook again the next second.
Tu Yao fell heavily to the ground.
Before she could even feel the excruciating pain, she suddenly looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Father, can I make any decision?"
This was the third time Tu Yao had asked Him this question.
He gave an affirmative answer the first two times.
This time, however, the police (110) did not respond for a long time.
Tu Yao stubbornly asked a second time.
"Little Father, can I make any decision?"
110 still doesn't answer.
In the quiet, enclosed space, Tu Yao could almost hear the ever-sensitive and courageous heartbeat pounding in her chest.
Tu Yao nodded to herself:
"sure."
Then she looked up and said earnestly, "Little Father."
"Send me away one more time."
