Chapter 278 Tongtian Gathering
Chapter 278 Tongtian Gathering
The night was as dark as ink. Fu Yunxiu's mouth, which was still shouting, was suddenly covered by an ice-cold hand. Although the hand separated in an instant, the imperceptible chill had spread throughout his body.
He closed his eyes in fear, his chest beating rapidly, and an inexplicable fear made him suddenly realize that the dark room seemed to be full of people...
Oh my god! This is a nightmare! So many ghosts!!!
Fear was wrapped around his heart like a thin thread. He didn't dare to breathe, move or look. Time seemed to be frozen.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a whisper passing by my ear, the voice was vague and uncertain, sometimes far away, sometimes near, "嘤嘤嘤, sir, I am so lonely~~"
“Oh my god!!!!”
The tranquility of the night was suddenly torn apart by this loud cry. Fu Yunxiu closed his eyes and tried to rush out the door desperately, but his body was grabbed by countless hands. He was so scared that he burst into tears!
"Sir~~ I'm here to see you~~"
"Mr. Fu, please come down and accompany me."
Suddenly, the candlelight in the room was lit. After watching the excitement, Shen Yu finally felt guilty. She thought to herself that if it were her, she would be scared to death, so she coughed lightly, "Cough! Okay, enough fun!"
"Oh, I haven't had enough fun~~"
Fu Yunxiu suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar. He frowned slightly, suppressed his fear, half-closed his eyes, and finally saw Shen Yu's face among the shadows. He rushed over, "Woo woo woo! Sister-in-law, help me!!"
Shen Yu dodged nimbly, and Master Fu's eyes finally adjusted to the light. He recognized the group of "monsters" in the room, and realized that these bastards were deliberately pretending to be ghosts to scare him. He couldn't catch his breath and almost choked to death.
"Gu! Liu! You bastard!!!"
What a huge hatred! ! How huge a hatred must one have to scare him at night when he is sleeping! Is he sick! ! He must have been scared to tears just now... ah, so embarrassing! !
Seeing this, everyone fled immediately. He picked up the teacups on the table and smashed them at everyone he saw.
While hiding from a group of childish secret guards, Shen Yu finally remembered who Gu Liu was. Wu Liu's original surname was Gu. Tsk, it seems that Manager Fu was so mad that he even called out his real name. Sob!
"Now that you've had enough fun, let's get down to business!" Shen Yu looked at them and shook his head, acting like a serious person.
Wu Zhong looked at her, speechless. Wasn't it you who suggested scaring him?
Fu Yunxiu vented his anger and lost all his sleepiness. He looked at Shen Yu with resentment. He was already very tired after staying alone to clean up the palace. These bastards actually scared him. How innocent he was! !
"cough!"
Shen Yu also felt a little guilty. This was a rare moment for him. "We came to ask you if there is any news about the second prince? He has been rescued. Has he contacted you?"
Fu Yunxiu looked at Shen Yu, who was trying to be as frank as possible, and Wu Zhong, who was unable to hide his excitement behind her. He felt that he had a long way to go... After all, he was the only one left among the respectable people in the palace!
Guyu looked at him with regret. Actually, she really wanted to join in, but the princess said that men and women should not touch each other. What a pity...
Fu Yunxiu sat opposite Shen Yu in a bad mood and glanced at her, "You didn't look for me! There is no room in my house to take you in!"
Humph, he has a temper too, okay?
"Oh, okay, sorry to bother you, good night!" Shen Yu bowed, his figure flashed, and he really left.
Fu Yunxiu, "......"
Watching everyone disappear one by one, the yard that was bustling with people just now suddenly returned to silence, leaving only a desolate area, which intertwined with the tranquility of the late night to create an inexplicable weirdness.
He even began to doubt whether it was just his hallucination. Someone had been here before, right? It wasn't a ghost, right? He looked up at the sky, then resigned himself to following...
Shen Yu led the team and continued to travel through the night. One of the secret guards was clearly not satisfied, "Princess, who are we going to scare next?"
Fu Yunxiu, "..."Okay, the murderer has been found!
Mu Yi, "..." He suddenly understood what made the prince look so worried before he left.
Shen Yu stopped on the roof of a building. She took out a token and asked, "You are all messengers of hell, right?"
Everyone, “!!!!”
Somewhere in the west of the city, an ancient building stood quietly. Several figures passed by quickly, skillfully avoiding the main entrance and the scattered crowds, and went to higher floors.
She originally thought that the secret guards in the palace were all messengers from hell, but it turned out that only a small number of them passed the test. Everyone put on their masks, and with Fu Yunxiu there, they could go to the top floor unhindered.
"Oh! You are too slow!!" The man in black with a scarlet mask lazily slumped on a recliner, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking like he was the most powerful.
"Lu! Jun! Ling!!"
Fu Yunxiu took off the man's mask, wishing he could kill him. "What happened to the disappearance? Ah! You didn't think Lu Yingxing would gather some people now, did you?"
Shen Yu was relieved to see that he was safe and sound. She knew that the test should have ended since they found the ancestral house of the Ou family. Although she didn't know what the test was, she felt that it was a test. It was just that the feeling of being manipulated by others was very unpleasant!
The secret guards also sent back news that Lu Yingxing and his team had arrived at the first post station and had survived three waves of pursuits along the way without any danger. This made her even more certain that the team returning to Zhuocheng was simply a bait!
The ones throwing the bait should be the Emperor and Prince De, but I don't know who they are trying to lure...
Lu Junling barely avoided Fu Yunxiu's clutches, and while returning his hand, he explained, "I was trapped the day I returned to the palace. When I woke up, I was trapped in a secret passage. I was locked up for a few days, and when I woke up again, I was in the alley behind Tongtian Tower. Who on earth was so bored that they tied me up? By the way, is Uncle Zhuo okay?"
His memory still stayed on the day when he rescued Prince Zhuo, so he didn't know what happened afterwards. Wu Chen, as the representative, couldn't help but tell him about his experiences in the past few days. It was so heart-wrenching and full of twists and turns!
Shen Yu walked to the window and listened to their discussion one by one...Is it really inevitable to be in this situation?
She looked at the bright moon hanging high outside the window and wondered if Lu Yingxing had fallen asleep tonight.
I couldn't help but think of the original plot of this novel. Was Lu Yingxing in the book abandoned because he failed the test? What about Xu Yaying's time travel? What about the six reincarnations in her memory? And what about my own time travel through the book and Xue Zhenzhen's suspected rebirth?
She only felt that there was a fog in front of her eyes, and she couldn't make out the outline no matter what. She was like a chess piece that accidentally fell into this chaotic chess game. She could not see who was the chess player behind the scenes, nor could she see where the road ahead lay.
It feels like being in an endless sea of fog, surrounded by chaos and uncertainty, and you will be swallowed up if you are not careful.
