Rachel found out that she didn't bring Lulu back, and couldn't help but ask, "Lulu, why didn't you bring it back?"

Charlotte was shocked when she heard this, and secretly thought that she had forgotten to think of a perfunctory way to treat her mother, and at this moment she was in a hurry and replied: "Master is very fond of Lulu and wants to adopt her for a while, and Lulu does not seem to reject Master, so I did not refuse." ”

"I see, I didn't expect this kind of worldly master to be interested in pets. ”

Then it was business as usual, and soon it was night again.

Hundreds of zhang south of the village, in front of the barrier.

Fett sat alone cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, as if he had entered a meditative state.

After a moment, Fett opened his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said, "Although Xiao Xia has gathered all the dark elements together, why is it still so time-consuming and laborious to get rid of them. Obviously, he had been engrossed in the 'exorcism' for three hours, but less than two percent of the dark elements had been successfully stripped out. If you can't complete the task tomorrow, the yin energy may invade the village at any time. ”

This feeling of inadequacy was very annoying to Fett, who had never been in such a dilemma all along. She even had an extremely ominous premonition now, faintly feeling that this difficulty might be insurmountable, and what would happen next was not in the control of their master and apprentice at all, and everything might have to be left to fate.

"Please Heaven give us some more time, and don't let this barrier show its flaws too soon. ”

At this moment, Fitt could only pray in his heart, hoping that God would give them a chance to reverse the situation.

At this time, Charlotte, who was about to rest in the room, was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep at all, she had the same worries as her master, afraid that the barrier would suddenly become a flaw and release all the yin qi into the village.

If Charlotte's imaginary scene really happened right in front of her, she would probably collapse immediately, and that would be a completely unacceptable ending for her.

"It is said that God has the virtue of a good life, please have mercy on these innocent villagers. ”

This night, there was almost no sleep.

It wasn't until the third watch that Charlotte felt a thick wave of tiredness coming over her, and she knew that it was the body's self-protection mechanism at work.

Charlotte closed her eyes and before she knew it, she was asleep.

Although Charlotte fell asleep, she did not sink, and the anxiety in her heart lingered for a long time, so that she could not completely calm down and enjoy sleep. Even though I was extremely tired, I still slept very lightly.

This unstable state of mind is the easiest to dream, and dreams are often associated with the past, and this time there was no surprise.

In a trance, Charlotte had already fallen into a dream again.

At the beginning of this dream, she saw many events that she had already experienced in "reality".

From Lulu walking around the barrier, to the dark elements starting to erode the barrier, to Master alone trying to fix it.

But what happened next expressed sadness and despair to the extreme.

Fett's several attempts to repair the barrier are affected by Lulu, and the black cat that appears near the barrier every day becomes Fett's nightmare. She knew that if the black cat was allowed to roam unscrupulously like this, disaster might soon befall the village, and she had to do something to reverse the situation.

"Xiao Xia doesn't seem to be able to control this black cat at all, only I have taken action myself. ”

On the second day, Fett found Charlotte as a teenager and expressed his love for Lulu, hoping that he could borrow the black cat for a few days.

As an onlooker in the dream, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene, she didn't expect that the lie she told her mother was actually a fact.

"It's not a coincidence at all, it's a natural reaction in the subconscious, a sense of déjà vu. Charlotte mused.

Charlotte did not hesitate back then, she attached great importance to the gift of humility, and how could she refuse the teacher's request at will.

So she gave Lulu to Fit, and Lulu had already met with Fit a few times, and she didn't feel repulsed by her. After Charlotte explains Fitt's intentions to Lulu, she obediently follows Fitt to a completely unfamiliar place, which is naturally Fett's home.

Fett took Lulu to the retreat room and began to express his heart to it.

"I know who you are, you are a survivor of the Dark Cat clan among the primeval spirit beasts. As the wisest race in the world, I'm sure you'll be able to understand every word I say. Everything I say to you next is crucial, and I hope you will listen carefully. ”

Next, Fett recounts what Charlotte once said to Lulu in "reality", and the content is basically the same, there is no difference.

"Actually, I decided to keep you here not only to save the whole village, but also to protect you. No one can accurately predict what will happen in the future, maybe one day, you will be regarded as the source of disaster and become the target of public criticism, and at this time, this spatial barrier I set up will protect you, can you trust me?"

Lulu had been listening carefully to every word Fett had said, and her eyes were filled with guilt, regretting the sin she had unintentionally committed.

Lulu nodded repeatedly, not only agreeing with Fett's point, but also willing to sacrifice her own freedom for the time being to help the villagers avoid the catastrophe.

After all, Lulu is an ancient spirit animal, which is naturally very different from ordinary cats, it even has the wisdom of more than the four major races, and its self-control ability is also superior.

Although Lulu still can't change some of the habits that are unique to cat people, it can suppress these habits, and even if she loses her freedom, she won't get bored. For Lulu, now that it had found a reason to practice quietly, after all, there was nothing else to do, and from now on it could dive into the meditation realm and slowly recover the cultivation that had been deprived by the Southern Xinjiang spell.

"Thank you, since you agreed, I'm going to cast a spell to seal this room. ”

With genuine gratitude in his eyes, Fett asked Lulu for her opinion one last time.

Not surprisingly, this time she still successfully received a positive answer.

So Fett condensed the little spiritual power left in his body and began to arrange spatial barriers outside the room.

After the tea, Fett finally succeeded in setting up the barrier, and the spell that used to be done with a wave of her hand now took her a lot of effort.

She was now sweating, panting, exhausted, and on the verge of collapse. She had never been in such an embarrassing situation before, but since the meridians were sealed, she felt that her body was getting worse and weaker.

"After using the 'Sacrifice Technique' that time, it seems that it has caused extremely serious trauma to the body, and it has not been alleviated even now, and now it has become so difficult to even lay down a spatial barrier. I don't know how long I can hold on, if it falls at a critical moment, village

And the people shall be afflicted. ”

Fit thought secretly, his heart full of worry, fearing that his body would fail prematurely and end up with a loss of all his efforts.

"What's the use of feeling sorry for myself now? Blindly depressed will only make me lose confidence, I must cheer myself up and dispel that yin at all costs. ”

Fett was still not very comfortable with Lulu at the moment, so he observed it for a while, and found that it was lying on its side on the ground, as if it had fallen asleep, and then left the house and returned to the front of the village south barrier.

From this moment on, Fett put all his energy into trying to repair the barrier again, and two days passed in a hurry.

At the end of the night, the sky was overcast, and the stars and moon were dark.

Fett stood in front of the barrier, her face pale, panting constantly, her spiritual power exhausted and so weak that she was on the verge of running out of oil.

"Why? Why are these dark elements so powerless that I can't control them at all? I tried to use spiritual power to guide the movement of these elements, but it had little effect, but forcibly stripping them out of the barrier consumed a huge amount of spiritual power, and I couldn't do anything about it in my current state. In the past two days, I have only dispelled less than 20% of the dark elementals..."

Fett knew that the "divine power" within the barrier was about to be exhausted by these dark elements, and there was a possibility that obvious flaws might appear at any time, and then the yin qi could invade the village at will.

But now she can't stop this from happening right now, and all she is about to face is a deeper layer of despair, the dawn of hope has never been ignited once, and everything is going in the direction she can't accept.

"What should I do now?"

Fett racked his brains to find the best way to deal with this desperate situation, so as not to bring himself to the end of the road from which there was no return.

"Definitely... There must be a way..."

Fett's lips trembled slightly, and she kept muttering, her mental state was very unstable due to extreme anxiety, and she looked like she was suffering from a mad disease.

However, the time of the incense stick passed quickly, but Fett had no clue in her mind, and the legendary flash of inspiration did not happen to her.

Then came the moment when all hope was shattered.

"Click, click"

Fitt suddenly heard several small noises coming from the barrier, the last thing she wanted to hear, like the cry of a terrible ghost in a nightmare.

"No, the barrier must not be broken..."

Fett prayed in his heart, as if trying to escape the reality that had happened.

She bowed her head and begged for mercy from above, hoping that the moment she raised her head, she could see a reassuring scene.

"That sound must be an auditory hallucination, it could never have come from the barrier..."

The next moment, Fett suddenly raised his head and looked at the barrier with a "death-seeking" look.

True despair befell Fit's eyes at this moment.

Because she could clearly see that the most central point of the barrier had been completely pierced by the power of the dark element, and it had completely shattered, revealing a small hole about three inches wide.

Although this flaw may seem insignificant, it is actually extremely deadly, after all, this barrier is used to resist the formless and formless Yin Qi, and any small flaw will make the Yin Qi take advantage of it and continuously pour into the village.

"I... Did it fail after all?"
