Chapter 15: Departure
No one dared to touch the sapphire bowl anymore
"Xiaobao, what's going on?" Fang Rui asked.
Xiaobao was silent, his eyes were red, his face was silent and terrible, he choked a few times and finally shook his head, and whispered: "You guys go quickly, this is not the place for you to stay." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to Fang Rui, and a sapphire beetle flew into his palm, and after retracting its wings, the entire beetle turned into a sapphire. Xiao Bao handed the sapphire to Fang Rui, and continued, "Take it, it can get you out of here safely." β
"No, let's go together!" Fang Rui realized that Xiaobao wanted to stay, and flatly refused.
"This is my home, I won't leave!" Xiaobao shook his head.
"Do you remember it all? At least tell us, what exactly is this place? Bai Jingjing asked.
"I don't quite remember it, at least I can't remember how it came to be the way it is. This is my home, where we have lived for generations, and no one has ever left. Occasionally, people who get lost break in by mistake, but we also let them out safely. There shouldn't be these strange hands in this small pool, and when the goddess enters the pool to pray, only blue points of light will fly out of the pool. Those dots of light will turn into blue droplets. Only the holy bowl made up of scarabs can catch it. I don't know where the blue droplets ended up, they're all in the presbytery's custody. Xiaobao replied.
"You came in this time just for this blue drop?" Lin Mo asked the knife and the bald man.
The knife's face was still pale in pain, but the bald man nodded directly and acknowledged, and asked rhetorically, "Why, you don't even know what this is?" β
Lin Mo was speechless when asked, her level in the society was not very high, so the boss just let her enter here and try to bring her back to Yu Zhenbang, but did not tell her the details of the ancient city in detail.
The bald man should have recognized Lin Mo, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, we don't know what this is, we only know that we have to ask Yu Zhenbang to take us to find the blue water droplets." It's a pity that now that Yu Zhenbang is dead, the blue droplets seem to be untouchable. β
"Someone can touch it!" Knife looked at Xiaobao and stared at him deadly.
Xiaobao shook his head and replied, "No one can take it away, you should leave quickly, if you don't want me to bring all the scarabs." β
After hearing this, Xiaodao sneered and said, "Even if the two of us can't take it away now, can you keep it for the rest of your life?" Hmph, next time more people can come in, your bugs are not invincible. β
The threat of knives is not groundless, whether it is knives, the organization behind the bald man, the Inhuman publishing house, or the bookstore, they are already aware of it, and the scarab beetle is not invincible and the number is limited. Xiaobao can't protect it alone.
Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and then exhaled deeply, as if he had made up his mind. He bent down and picked up the bowl of the scarab beetle, then threw it to the ground. The moment it touched the ground, the bowl turned back into a scarab and flew away, and the blue water droplets instantly turned into countless tiny blue particles of light and dissipated. At the same time, more scarabs flew out of the wooden building and rushed to the small pool, and everyone retreated for fear of being contaminated by the light falling by the scarabs, and only Xiaobao was still standing by the pool. The scarab beetle flew into the small pool like a moth to a fire, and the pool began to toss up and down to emit hot gas, which began to slowly vaporize like boiling water.
"Damn, he's going to destroy the pool!" The knife wanted to step forward to stop it, but was grabbed by the bald man.
"To die?" The bald man glared at her and said, "I'm not afraid of no firewood if I keep the green mountains!" β
"However, if you can't bring back the blue droplets, how can you go back to the business?" Knife asked in a low voice.
"It's better than going to die!" The bald man glanced at Lin Mo again and said, "We can't get it, and they can't get it either!" β
Knife pursed his lips and finally gave up on the idea of stepping forward to stop him.
As the water in the pool continued to evaporate, the entire land of the ancient city began to tremble as if it had been earthquaked, the building was slowly crumbling, and the screams of monsters and the sound of crystal shattering could be heard in the distance. You must leave immediately, or the whole ancient city will collapse. Fang Rui looked at the sapphire given by Xiaobao in his hand, it began to emit light, and the light formed a small vortex, and it became bigger and bigger.
"Ready to leave!" Bai Jingjing shouted.
Behind the full moon, there was a snow-white fox tail to surround her, and at the same time she rushed to Xiaobao by the pool, the fox tail blocked the light falling by the scarab, she rushed behind Xiaobao and knocked him out with a knife without waiting for him to come to his senses, and then picked up Xiaobao and rushed back.
The sapphire in Fang Rui's hand made a soft bang, and the whole exploded, and the light vortex instantly became larger, and everyone was sucked into it. When the light vortex converged and disappeared, both Fang Rui and the others, the knife and the bald man also disappeared. All that remains is a crumbling ancient city and the monsters screaming in the collapse, as if they had a premonition of destruction
At this moment, they all raised their hands to the sky, and their mouths opened as wide as they could. In the slowly tilting and destroying wooden building, at this time, a man walked out. There is only a thumb-thick pigtail on the back of the neck, the left eye is blood-red, and he is dressed in strange clothes. The man walked steadily, even though the whole building was crumbling. He walked to the edge of the pool, which was almost bottoming out, except for a small puddle of water about the size of a baby's palm, and the water was black. The man took out a bottle that resembled a snuffbox and pointed the mouth of the bottle at the small puddle of water, and the black water actually burrowed into the bottle like a snake. The man carefully put the bottle away and smiled with satisfactionγγγγγ
When Fang Rui and the others came back to their senses from the light vortex, they found that they had left the ancient city and returned to the desert, the ancient city had completely disappeared, leaving only the knife and the ring gate set up by the bald man, but it had also broken into several pieces and lay on the sand. The bald man immediately jumped into the car before he came with a knife.
"Aren't you chasing?" Fang Rui asked Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shook her head silently, for some reason, she didn't give an order to her subordinates to track her, and watched the knife and the bald man drive away.
"Miss Lin, then we will have a meeting later!" After the full moon finished speaking, he pulled Xiaobao, who was still in a coma, and climbed into a car left by the knife and the bald man.
Fang Rui looked at Lin Mo, and then at Bai Jingjing, who just wanted to speak, but was dragged towards the full moon by Bai Jingjing by the back collar.
"Boss, don't leave them behind?" Lin Mo's subordinates who survived asked a little unwillingly.
"With a few of us, we can't stay." Lin Mo sighed pitifully, the vixen among them should have an extraordinary background, and he was not her opponent.
At this time, Yu Nana had already woken up, but she was under the blow of Yu Zhenbang's death and bowed her head and sobbed, the loss of the two most important relatives in her life was undoubtedly unacceptable to her, and there were many things she didn't understand. So, when Lin Mo said that the matter was over and she was going to send her home, she wiped away her tears and asked Lin Mo, "Can I join you?" There's a lot of things that haven't been figured out yet, and I'm going to find out! β
Lin Mo didn't expect Yu Nana to ask this, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Inhuman Publishing House is not for everyone. β
"As long as I am given the opportunity, I can do anything!" Yu Nana pleaded.
Lin Mo frowned, she had always disliked this kind of thing to deal with ordinary people afterwards, but Yu Nana was really pitiful, Lin Mo still had compassion, and she didn't know how to dispel her thoughts.
At this moment, the convoy that came to pick up Lin Mo and them came, and a tall and thin middle-aged man jumped out of the car led by him, with short hair standing up on his head, and his big and round eyes looked like they were staring at all the time. Lin Mo immediately stood up straight when she saw him coming, and it was her boss's boss, Yang Yue, the leader of the special operations team.
Yang Yue glanced at Lin Mo, and then at Yu Nana, whose eyes were red from crying, and said slowly: "You two, come with me!" With that, he turned around and got into the car again.
Lin Mo hesitated a little before he followed, but Yu Nana quickly followed Yang Yue and got into the car.
