Chapter 878 Play Along

The white world was completely different from the feeling of being unable to move when the poison had taken effect. Shen Xiaoxiao discovered that although she was surrounded by white, behind the white fog, there was a golden glow.

She slowly walked in that direction and peeled off layers of the fog. Shen Xiaoxiao saw a golden compass placed on a high platform not far away. On top of the compass were four gemstone balls. The golden glow was blinding. They were dazzling.

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Weren’t these the eight trigram wheel and the gemstone balls that they had picked up earlier? Why were they here? Where was this?

Shen Xiaoxiao took another step forward. This time, she had seen the scene on the high platform. As the four gemstone balls returned to their original positions, they actually soared into the air. Then, a beam of light shot up into the sky. Could it be... Could this be the legendary time and space tunnel?

Shen Xiaoxiao took two steps forward. The light tunnel seemed to be right in front of her. As long as she stretched out her hand, she would be able to reach it. As long as she stretched out her hand, she would be able to step into it.

“Go back, go back.”

A decadent voice kept ringing in her ears. It was as if she really should follow the voice. She did not belong here. She did not belong.

“Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao.”

It was Yan Kuan, it was Yan Kuan calling her. She was so close, so close that she almost walked over. Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly took a big step back, but her feet missed her. She seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.

“Ah...”

When she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Kuan’s face full of worry. Yan Kuan hugged Shen Xiaoxiao in his arms. “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Shen Xiaoxiao tried her best to calm down for a long time before she let go of Yan Kuan. When she saw that it was still pitch black outside, she heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “Yes, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that I fell off the cliff.”

“Silly, it was just a nightmare. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Where are they? How many of them have returned?”

Shen Xiaoxiao then saw that there was still no one in the cave, but Yan Kuan said, “There are still the last two. Dark 20, 17, and 19 are guarding outside the cave. Everyone else has moved out. Other than Dark 1 and Dark 2, everyone else is fine.”

“It’s good that they’re fine. It’s good that they’re fine.”

“Come, I’ll sleep with you. It’s still early. I guarantee that you won’t have nightmares.”

Shen Xiaoxiao felt relieved, but she still asked Yan Kuan,”Is the blue gemstone ball that I saw earlier still there?”

“Yes, why?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just asking. As long as it’s there, it’s fine. Put it away. I think this thing might be of great use.”

Thinking of the few gemstone balls in the dream, Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while, but she still told Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan frowned when he heard that. Why didn’t he dream about it? Only Xiaoxiao dreamed about it? What else should she return to? Was it going to take his Xiaoxiao away? Dream on.

Yan Kuan finally touched the gemstone ball in his trouser pocket. He couldn’t let those people take it away.

There were a total of four balls in Xiaoxiao’s dream. They were red, blue, yellow, and green.

Now, Lin Jiahui had a yellow and a colorful one in her hand. He had a blue one. Wait, a colorful one. The one in Lin Jiahui’s hand was indeed a colorful one. At that time, they had all seen her open the box and take it away.

But there was no colorful one in the dream. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Or was it because there were too many colors in this gemstone ball, so her eyes were a little blurry? It seemed that they could only wait until Xiaoxiao was better tomorrow to ask nicely.

Of course, Yan Kuan did not know that there was still a red one in his precious son’s hand. As for the colorful ball in Lin Jiahui’s hand, it was Little Treasure’s toy ball.

But no matter what, there were already three colored balls. The last green ball was nowhere to be found.

As for the blurry altar that Shen Xiaoxiao saw in her dream, he already had a premonition in his heart. He could only take things one step at a time.

By the time Dark 20 and Dark 17 returned, Little Treasure’s urine had all been used up. He could only let the two of them sleep unconscious in the cave. Whenever Little Treasure had urine, he would let them use it.

Everyone gathered together and discussed for a while. Then, they arranged to take turns on duty. Everyone slowly walked back to the cave to rest.

The night was silent.

When they woke up in the morning, the fragrant chicken porridge sounded in the iron pot. The fragrance assailed their nostrils. Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect them to bring this small pot with them.

“You’re awake? Quickly wash up. Breakfast is ready. Eat something hot.”

19 was making porridge as he spoke to Xiaoxiao.

Just as Shen Xiaoxiao was about to leave, she saw Yan Kuan walking back with Little Treasure. The bottle in his hand was filled to the brim. The essence that had been gathered for the entire night was all in this kettle.

“Everyone, drink some so that the toxins in your bodies aren’t completely drained.”

Little Treasure covered his mouth and snickered at the side. Da Bao, on the other hand, did not mince her words:

“Oh, it stinks. You all drank Little Treasure’s pee. It stinks.”

“Da Bao, are you scolding your uncles? Come, your uncles love you the most. Let us give you a kiss.”

He was the youngest in his twenties and loved to tease Da Bao the most. Therefore, when he saw that Da Bao despised them, he immediately came out to play. In the early morning, the cave was filled with the bright laughter of two children.

Because there were more people, they sent out a total of two robots to scout the way, but only one came back in the end. Moreover, the image was not clear. When it reached the edge, there was only a white fog and a cliff. There was nothing else. They also knew that they could not find anything, but they did not know anything about the top of the mountain.

The only useful thing they brought back was that they seemed to have been trapped on an island. Thinking back to the island where Shen Guoan had stayed, it was not difficult for them to imagine that this was really the old man’s nest.

However, because Yan Kuan did not faint back then, he had been walking when he was carried by those people. He did not take a boat or other transportation equipment. Therefore, Yan Kuan was certain that they were still at the back mountain of the Shen family’s old residence. It was probably because of some bewitching array or eight trigrams array that they were so dizzy that they could not find their way.

After breakfast, everyone started to prepare to set off. However, this time, it was different. They made some movements on the top of each person’s head. The silver needles were still there, but they had been touched.

Dark 15 personally hypnotized everyone. On the surface, they looked exactly the same as before. Their expressions were dull, and they looked muddle-headed.

19 was left beside them. Everyone set off again. After giving some instructions and telling 19 to hide in the dark, they followed a few secret guards out of the cave.

What Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao needed to do now was to go straight to the forbidden area.

“There are so many little mushrooms.”

“Remember, the prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. These are all inedible. It’s different from the mushroom we ate this morning.”

“Oh, I got it.”

Da Bao and Little Treasure still obediently walked on their own. The path Ah Cai had told them was much lighter than wandering around the mountains. When they were about to reach the so-called forbidden area... they saw Dark 1 and Dark 2 lead the way, followed by the other dark guards who were walking toward them...
