Chapter 098 Chapter 98
Xia Meng controlled the strength.
After all, he was a medical student, so he had good control of his hands and could accurately control the force needed to knock someone out without killing him with a brick.
After knocking, she was about to stand up, but she reacted the next second.
That's not right.
This force is just right for ordinary people, but it is different for the sentinels who have thick skin and a much larger health bar than ordinary people.
Especially for an S-level like Hermann, it might just be like tickling.
Xia Meng thought about it and felt uneasy, so she squatted back down immediately.
Holding the brick, he found the right angle and struck a few more times.
This time, Herman didn't even react at all.
Xia Meng finally felt relieved, threw the brick away, and turned back to Li Zhou.
She squatted down beside Li Zhou and pushed his shoulder.
"Li Zhou! Li Zhou!" She carefully raised her hand and pushed up his eyelids to check the focus of his pupils.
Fortunately, his pupils reacted well, and his distracted eyes gradually focused and looked at her.
Xia Meng quickly asked, "Li Zhou? Are you awake?"
She quickly raised a finger and waved it in front of his eyes, saying, "Can you see my fingers? How many are there?"
Li Zhou's gaze shifted to her wagging fingers, and he softly replied, "...one."
Vision is normal, response ability is normal, consciousness is normal...it seems that the possibility of concussion can be preliminarily ruled out for the time being.
Xia Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked a few questions to confirm his physical condition.
Li Zhou answered them one by one, and while doing so, he slowly propped himself up and sat up.
His reaction was still a little slow and confused.
Xia Meng was still a little worried: "Are you still feeling unwell? Did you also enter the mental image just now? What did you see?"
Li Zhou raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, frowning as he said, "I can't really explain it... I feel like I've seen a lot of scenes. But now my mind is a mess, I can't remember anything."
Xia Meng said: "If you can't remember, then don't think about it for now."
As she spoke, she held Li Zhou's hand.
The mental power skillfully passed some of it over.
She knew that his mind must be in chaos at this moment, and he must be in urgent need of the guide's spiritual power to comfort him.
But as soon as her mental power touched his spiritual sea, she was still frightened by the level of chaos inside.
It was chaos in there.
She still remembered his original appearance in her mental picture.
A towering tree.
An endless desolate cemetery.
But now, all of this is gone.
All that was left was a thick fog, chaotic, surging, pitch-black fog.
The number of mental dark spots was so great that she had never seen such a large number of them before in her life.
The moment she put her senses into it, she heard a familiar voice——
When they first met, she heard from him the sound of thousands of ghosts crying.
The sound surged over her, drowning her in the blink of an eye.
The eardrums were filled with countless bone-chilling screams.
Xia Meng was stunned, and for a moment her heart seemed to be captivated by the cry.
She felt as if she had been burned by fire and subconsciously withdrew her senses.
The next second, she met Li Zhou's eyes.
Li Zhou seemed unaware of what she saw.
As before, he could not enter his own mental picture.
Li Zhou noticed that she looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Meng came back to her senses in the blink of an eye and calmly suppressed the surprise in her heart.
She shook her head calmly and said, "It's nothing. I was just distracted and thinking about what we should do next."
As she spoke, she was the first to look away and cast her eyes around.
The surrounding scene was exactly the same as the scene in the welfare home in her memory.
It just looks much older and has fallen into disrepair, with peeling paint and peeling walls.
Li Zhou obviously had no impression of this place.
He followed her gaze and finally landed on Hermann across from him.
Then he said "Huh" in confusion.
Herman looked very embarrassed at this time.
Face down, lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position.
This isn't the weirdest thing.
There was actually a brick neatly placed on the back of his head.
At first glance, it looks like a yellow talisman paper stuck on the forehead of a zombie, which is very weird.
A question mark slowly appeared in Li Zhou's eyes.
He clearly remembered that before he fell unconscious, the two of them were still facing each other with equal strength.
How come this person became like this in just a short time?
what happens?
He subconsciously looked at Xia Meng.
The only possibility is probably her.
Did she do something while they were unconscious?
Li Zhou blinked hesitantly: "You did it?"
Xia Meng coughed: "...Yeah, I did it."
Li Zhou: "...Well done."
Xia Meng: "Thank you."
Li Zhou couldn't help laughing, then he propped himself up and stood up, staggering towards Hermann.
Xia Meng looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Li Zhou searched around and said, "Oh, I'm afraid he'll wake up, so I want to find something to tie him up."
Xia Meng glanced at Herman silently.
It would be hard to wake up after being knocked like that by her... right?
However, she had no intention of speaking up for Hermann.
Even if Li Zhou wanted to do this, she would agree with him.
She then looked around, trying to figure out what to use.
In the end, Li Zhou dug out a few iron rods about as thick as fingers from the rubble.
Under Xia Meng's stunned gaze, he skillfully bent the iron rods one by one, and then tied Hermann's hands and feet behind his back.
I've seen people use handcuffs, hemp ropes, plastic ropes, and even just tie them up with iron rods...
And it was at a tricky angle, even a strong man would not be able to break free.
Xia Meng silently gave him a thumbs up.
You are the more cruel.
Li Zhou lowered his eyes to look at her and gave her a smile that was his due.
"Same here."
So, after confirming that Herman would not wake up for a while, and even if he woke up, he would not cause any trouble, the two exchanged glances.
Li Zhou: "What are your plans next?"
Xia Meng looked deep into the welfare home and said, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
She knew that this orphanage was a den of filth and must be hiding many secrets.
Li Zhou naturally had no objection.
So Xia Meng walked straight in.
She is too familiar with this place.
In her mental picture, she had been trapped here for several months and was familiar with every tree and blade of grass here.
She was so familiar with him that she was a little dazed.
I couldn't help but doubt whether everything in that mental picture was real.
I couldn't help but doubt whether I had really had that experience.
No, no, no, impossible.
She quickly dispelled her doubts.
How is that possible?
She clearly grew up in China, and her memories of everything from elementary school, middle school, and college are flawless and complete.
It is impossible for such a strange experience to appear out of thin air.
Until you turn a corner.
The wall was mottled and covered with various marks.
You can see dirty shoe prints, dusty football marks, and even some graffiti.
Xia Meng glanced at it casually.
When his eyes fell on a gray stain, they suddenly froze.
If you look closely, you can find a palm-sized graffiti on the gray-black stain.
Li Zhou followed behind her and immediately noticed her abnormality.
He walked up to her side and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
Xia Meng did not answer immediately, but slowly took a step forward and squatted down.
The walls were gray and yellow, and even had some spots on them.
But she could still clearly see the graffiti on it.
It is a simple drawing of a small umbrella. Under the umbrella are two matchstick figures wearing skirts, one with two pigtails and the other with a ponytail.
There was an English name written at the feet of the girl with pigtails, Mai Xi.
The word "dream" was written at the feet of the girl with ponytail.
Every stroke.
It was exactly the same as her own handwriting.
This was a word that Mai Xi had written casually when she was drawing on a whim.
She wrote it herself.
Varied……
What's going on?
Is this still in the mental picture?
She looked back at Li Zhou in disbelief.
That's impossible. The person next to her is obviously her Li Zhou.
Li Zhou immediately looked back at her, then showed a confused expression.
"Is there anything wrong with this word 'dream'?"
Of course there is a problem.
And this is a big problem.
But Xia Meng didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
She could only shake her head, put away her look of surprise, and pretended to be calm as she stood up and said, "Nothing, I must have seen it wrong. Let's go."
She walked away quickly.
Li Zhou hesitated for a second as he looked at her familiar back. Before he caught up with her, he frowned and glanced at the graffiti on the wall.
Thoughtful.
…
The welfare home is still in operation.
They took a rough look around the welfare home and found that there were still fresh signs of life here.
In other words, there are still quite a few people living here, and a large proportion of them are probably children.
But where did all these people go?
The two searched around the teaching building and dormitory building but didn't see anyone.
Xia Meng was a little skeptical.
She stood there for a moment, thinking.
No, that's not right. It's definitely not that simple here.
Otherwise, Hermann would not have come straight here.
Otherwise, the clues Wang Xiangyi gave her would not point here.
But where should we start?
At this time, Li Zhou suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her to the corner.
Xia Meng was caught off guard and pulled into the shadows. She looked up in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Li Zhou lowered his head and blocked her in the corner, frowning slightly and said, "It seems like someone is nearby."
He could feel the fluctuation of mental power.
It's the sentinel's mental fluctuations.
And, it's a little familiar.
Xia Meng thought: "Didn't you say before that Emil and Lorenzo came with Hermann? Could it be them?"
Li Zhou thought so too.
He had come here with the three of them.
However, when he came in, he was discovered by Hermann who was waiting for him, and he almost forgot the existence of Emil and Lorenzo.
Li Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems to be the fluctuation of Emil's mental power."
Xia Meng blinked, her eyes brightening: "Isn't this a ready-made guide?"
Li Zhou was stunned for a moment: "...You seem very sure that he will help us lead the way."
How is that possible?
Emil is Hermann's man, there is no way he would turn against them and help them.
Xia Meng paused.
Normally, it is unlikely.
but……
Li Zhou had no idea what she had just experienced in that chaotic mental picture.
She didn't dare say anything else.
At least she now knows much more about Emil and Hermann than Li Zhou knows about them.
She even knew how Hermann had controlled Emil so that he would work for him without complaint.
Xia Meng rolled up her sleeves and said, "Don't worry, I promise I can trick him into submission."
