Ch 162: Xiao Lan and Xiao Jin’s Joyful Game
“What is this?”
Yu Yin looked at the bizarre doll without hesitation, immediately activating her Instant Death ability, but the doll did not react at all.
Xu Xiao furrowed her brows and directly activated Wu, letting the annoying thing disappear.
However, the moment she activated it, the doll quickly moved, its movements too fast for Xu Xiao to track.
“Why is it so fast?! My ability is empty?!”
Xu Xiao always thought her mind-activated ability was a sure hit, capable of injuring opponents even with the fastest dodging, but this strange doll displayed astonishing speed.
Wind and sand rose, making it difficult for Xu Xiao and Yu Yin to open their eyes. They found their feet sinking into soft quicksand, their legs increasingly submerged, making movement difficult.
Yu Yin started to panic. If her target could ignore her Instant Death ability, she was practically an ordinary person, useless.
The doll’s arm transformed into a sharp knife with barbs, quickly lunging at the closer Yu Yin.
“Xiao Yin!”
Without hesitation, Xu Xiao pulled Yu Yin behind her, but she herself stepped forward. The metal arm pierced Xu Xiao’s abdomen, but she seized the opportunity, grabbing its arm and activating Wu on the doll.
It quickly severed its arm and leaped back. Cotton protruded from its shoulder, its expression showing no pain.
The wind and sand intensified, and giant meteors appeared in the sky. Xu Xiao, struggling to maintain consciousness, used her ability on the meteors, causing them to vanish before impact.
Just as the doll gathered Dark Power to attack the two, a man with a bandage over his eye appeared out of nowhere, “Puppet disabled.”
With the man’s words, the doll dissipated into the air like fine dust.
The wind and sand stopped, and the ground returned to normal. Blood seeped from Xu Xiao’s lips as she gratefully looked at the man.
A black and white plane rapidly descended from the sky. It was unexpected that a City team would dare to approach Changrong City so directly, but the current battlefield seemed to lack any threatening targets.
……
“Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, is this the number 1 stronghold?”
“Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, yes, this is it.”
“Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, is the God of Faith here?”
“Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, I don’t sense it. Let’s have some fun.”
A pair of twin boys lightly leaped into Aolijiaer. Pei Wendong hastily reported this to Su Shen, surprised by the intrusion.
In moments, the two boys vanished, their whereabouts unknown.
Just as Su Shen was about to inform everyone, a boy with his head tilted appeared before him.
“Strange, strange, the people in this city all have your energy. You’re controlling them.”
Su Shen tried to rush out of the room but felt his body freeze. His pupils constricted as his legs were encased in ice.
“Well, well, why aren’t you talking with Xiao Lan? But you can’t talk to Xiao Lan for too long, or Xiao Jin will surpass him.”
To Su Shen’s horror, the boy lightly kicked, shattering his ice-encased body into fragile pieces that crumbled and collapsed.
“I can’t let Xiao Jin surpass me.”
The boy strolled out of the room with a light step.
Chen Yuru stared at the stranger in terror. All day, she’d been searching the stronghold for Tang Yue but found no trace, no one having seen her.
In the corridor, she encountered a strange boy. Despite his smile, Chen Yuru felt a chill.
“Well, well, auntie seems very anxious. But I’m anxious too! Xiao Lan has already started, and as the older brother, I can’t be outdone by my younger brother.”
“What are you doing! Don’t come closer, I haven’t found my daughter!”
“Well, well, don’t worry, auntie. As long as your daughter is here, I’ll send her to see you.”
“Ah!”
Chen Yuru burst into flames, instantly reduced to a charred corpse.
Hearing the scream, Song Huai felt immense anxiety. The stronghold was invaded. Forcing himself to remain calm, he decided to find Zhou Mi. If they could reach Zhou Mi and hide in the Space, there was still hope.
All the members are on these two floors. He had to reach Zhou Mi before this boy entered other rooms.
The other seemed leisurely. After Chen Yuru’s death, his steps were slow. The room’s door caught fire, producing crackling sounds of burning wood. The boy lightly kicked, shattering the charred door.
“Now’s my chance.”
Song Huai rushed out, running towards the room at the end of the corridor.
But at the emergency exit, he met another boy, emerging from the stairwell, smiling at him.
“Well, well, little brother is the strongest here, I wonder what tricks you have.”
The boy’s eyes gleamed with excitement, as if waiting for a game invitation. Song Huai felt a bone-chilling coldness.
It was too late. He could only escape into the Space, but what about the others? If Zhou Mi died, it was all over.
No, no, no! He had to save Zhou Mi! He is the God of Space, the strongest in the stronghold. If he couldn’t do it, who could?
Does the God of Space only have storage space? What kind of god is that?!
An inspiration struck Song Huai’s mind. He suddenly saw the entire stronghold, members’ corpses scattered everywhere.
Enduring the pain, Song Huai saw Zhou Mi and An’an huddled under the bed. He felt the connection to the members in the Space.
He could transfer them into his Space immediately, but the boy didn’t give him the chance.
“Since little brother won’t make a move, Xiao Lan will. Goodbye, little brother.”
Song Huai felt his body shattering, but the rapid freezing numbed the pain.
He stared despairingly at the boy’s back, “Don’t…”
His world gradually darkened. He could no longer see Goddess Xia Yida, nor his Chuan Chuan.
“The energy in this room is quite special too. Let Xiao Lan meet you.”
Zhou Mi had almost swallowed a handful of melatonin, but the extreme tension kept him awake, with An’an trembling beside him.
Damn it, damn it! Why can’t I fall asleep!
Zhou Mi breathed deeply under the bed, but the more he tried, the more awake he became. The screams of the stronghold members echoed in the corridor, their footsteps clear.
“I’m coming in～”
The boy’s tone was light, as if playing hide-and-seek with a friend.
Zhou Mi had fallen into despair. Though drowsy, the enemy was only a foot away from him and his daughter. He couldn’t sleep.
“Let me guess where you’re hiding. Actually, no need to guess, I found you from the start. I～found～you～!”
Under the bed, Zhou Mi met the boy’s innocent face, though his smile hid unconcealed malice.
