As she spoke, Wen Li's gaze fell on the blue and white porcelain bowl in the very center, her eyes filled with a dark expression.
...
Two hours later, Wen Yu knocked on Wen Li's door right on time.
Wen Li was standing at the doorway. In the dimly lit room, Wen Yu was startled when she saw Wen Li's pale face: "What happened?"
After speaking, Wen Yu smelled a familiar scent around her, and her sharp gaze immediately fell on her younger sister.
Before he could speak, Wen Li said with a smile, "Third Brother, it's not as serious as you think."
After finishing drawing the talisman, Wen Li washed up and took out a thick bundle: "Drawing talismans is very mentally taxing. I'm lucky I didn't faint after drawing more than three hundred. I must get a good sleep later."
Wen Yu frowned as she took the package: "You look terrible right now, I'll take you to the hospital."
Wen Li took a few steps back and sat on the sofa in the room: "No need. I was just exhausted by mental exertion. I just need to rest for a few more days. There are about three hundred of these peace talismans. I have set up an array on each talisman. It can withstand seven times in total, but—if it exceeds seven times, there is nothing I can do."
"Seven times is enough." Wen Yu felt depressed at this moment, worried about the operation, but even more worried about Wen Li's current situation.
Even though Wen Li said it was nothing, he still felt something was off.
"Third Brother, I'm really fine, I'm just extremely sleepy. You should go now, I'm so tired." He then yawned.
Wen Yu really couldn't stay long.
The team had set off a few minutes earlier, and he had to get to the scene alone, while also reporting on the day's events along the way.
"Don't go back to school tonight, just rest here. I'll have your aunt come over and make you breakfast tomorrow."
Wen Li lay on the sofa with her eyes half-closed, and slowly nodded after listening.
Wen Yu became even more worried.
"Third Brother, don't delay any longer." Wen Li's voice became more serious when she saw that her third brother was still not leaving: "The lives of the soldiers are the most important thing."
Wen Yu knew what was important and what was urgent, so she said, "Then I'll be going."
Wen Li's head was spinning, and after a while, all she could hear was the soft sound of the door closing.
The entire room fell completely silent.
Wen Li was lying on the sofa in the dark room.
If Wen Yu had entered just now, she would have seen many dark bloodstains that were almost congealed on the temporary altar.
