Chapter 11: Reversal (I)
The nightmare was so continuous that Yin He tried his best to get rid of it but was always helpless, so he finally gave up his efforts and resigned himself to fate.
However, when all the light suddenly disappeared and darkness suddenly came, it was as if he heard a strange voice suddenly coming from some distant place in the distance, as if it was calling, shouting, and it was as if someone was reciting some words to heaven and earth.
What kind of place was it, he had some vague feelings, but he couldn't grasp it, he couldn't remember, he wanted to open his eyes to see, but it was dark in front of him.
Time seemed to stand still, and everything was quiet.
It was as if he had really fallen asleep, as if this nightmare had really ended.
Suddenly, he felt his body go weightless, as if he had fallen from a great height, and then he really hit the ground hard, with a scalp-tingling sound that made him feel like he had been smashed.
Then, there was a panicked scream, and a chaotic pace rushed from all directions, and he slowly and laboriously opened his eyes, and found that warm blood was running through his face, covering one of them.
Around him, many people were running briskly with shocked faces, many shouting, and his body was quickly lifted, and all the gossip sounds were coming into his ears, but they seemed to have become meaningless noises.
His consciousness began to sink again, but before he passed out again, Yin He seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked in a certain direction with the only strength he had.
The mysterious place, the source of the voice that had suddenly appeared in his nightmares calling him, ethereal but as clear as it had been. At this moment, he suddenly understood the place he dreamed of.
That's Mount Kinabalu.
The next moment, his eyes went black, and he passed out again.
※※※
In the days that followed, Yin He spent most of his time unconscious in a coma, occasionally waking up briefly a few times in the middle, and he felt as if he was being carried very eagerly.
At the same time, he heard the whispers of some people who were chaotic as they passed him.
"I've been so badly injured, but I'm not dead......"
"What hurt him?"
"It's so miserable over there at the Fourteenth Green Jade Institute......"
"Who is going to carry him back?"
"What will happen to him?"
"Who knows...... Let's see how the elders feel......"
......
"Bell ......"
The crisp sound of chains striking echoed in the room, reminding Yin He to return to reality. With some difficulty, he sat up from the bed, looked around, and then looked down at the pair of shackles on his hands.
At this moment, Yin He, who woke up, was in a strange situation, the wounds on his body had been properly treated and bandaged, and his clothes had been changed into a new set, but a pair of fine iron shackles were put on his hands and wrists, and he looked like a prisoner.
It's just that the place where he is now is obviously not a prison, looking at the window is bright and clean, although the furnishings are simple, but it is also a place where normal people live. The only thing that stood out was probably that the gate was ajar, but outside the door stood two strong and majestic warriors, guarding him like door gods.
He sighed softly, his face looking a little haggard, not knowing whether it was the fatigue from the serious injury or the exhaustion.
At this time, he heard the footsteps outside the door, and walked over from far and near, and the two guards at the door, who were originally a little relaxed, suddenly stood up straight, raised their chests and heads, and looked extremely powerful.
A moment later, several figures walked to the door, and then rushed in.
There were three people in total, the first one was a white-faced man with eagle eyes and thin lips and a cold gaze; the second one was an old man with gray hair, who looked to be about fifty years old; and the last one who walked in was a young and beautiful woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hair and shawl and shining eyes.
Unlike the first two men with straight faces, as soon as the young and beautiful woman entered the room, it seemed to brighten up the place, giving people a feeling of heartbeat.
Yin He's gaze was calm when he looked at the first man and the second old man, but when he saw the third girl, he was suddenly stunned, and his gaze stayed on her face for a moment, but soon, he looked away expressionlessly.
After the three men entered the room, a young man dressed as a servant entered, and he brought three chairs, which were placed on the ground five or six feet away from the bed where Yin He was lying, side by side, and then withdrew.
And the three people sat down on the chair like this, and the three eyes fell on Yin He together.
"Yin River. The white-faced man sitting in the middle spoke in a deep voice first.
Yin He turned around and sat facing the three of them, but he didn't get up, because there was an iron chain attached to the wall next to him from the shackles on his wrists, and he was locked up.
He didn't look at the old man and the woman sitting on the left and right, but nodded calmly to the white-faced man sitting in the middle and said, "Jiang Qiang." ”
The white-faced man he called Jiang Qiangren said expressionlessly: "I, Mo Tieshu, and Ji Honglian have come to ask you questions on the orders of the Council of Elders, and you must answer truthfully, and you must not lie at all." ”
Yin He sighed, raised his hands, and then noticed the sound of shackles, so he had to put it down again, and said, "Last time, I already said everything I had to say, Lord Jiang." ”
Jiang Qiang didn't seem to hear what Yin He said, and said lightly: "You tell me what happened that day, and then carefully explain it carefully." ”
Yin He's expression looked a little helpless, and the corner of his eye swept over there, only to see that Jiang Qiang and the white-haired old man Mo Tieshu were expressionless, but the beautiful woman Ji Honglian, who had been smiling, had some subtle emotions in her eyes, and there seemed to be some deep and different smiles hidden in the depths of her eyes.
Yin He quickly retracted his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he still began to speak.
From that day of transporting the blue jade stones, to the terrible mutation that happened outside the Fourteen Blue Jade Place, the tragedy of the terrifying monster called the Black Mantis killing everyone, and everything that happened after that...... He even spoke of the two shadows that had suddenly appeared in the woods, even though he was a little confused at the time and couldn't see their faces clearly.
However, in all things, Yin He secretly hid something in the end.
None of them seem to be real, they seem to be just imaginary things that only appear in their dreams.
He didn't say anything about the sacred mountain in his dream.
The terrifyingly mutated right arm in the dream, he didn't say anything.
A long time had passed since he had said all these things, and in the middle of this, the three people on the other side all sat there quietly and listened, and none of them interrupted him or asked any questions.
