Chapter 27 Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves, Wu Xingyun
"Who?!" Qingyao pressed himself against the cell door and asked warily.
After a long while, a weak voice came from the side and said, "...You, the Lin, Lin Lele, is...Captain Lin's, daughter?"
Team Leader Lin?
Qingyao's eyes darted around: "You mean... Ye Xin?"
"That girl...it really is...Captain Lin's...daughter." The voice said, "You can't get out. There are...restrictions outside the door."
A restriction? Qingyao touched the door, "Hiss—"
A pricking sensation came from his hand, and he withdrew his hand: "It's really weird."
"Are we just supposed to wait?" Hongyao frowned. "What if something happens to Lin Lele if we don't find her?"
Qingyao thought for a moment and asked, "My neighbor, do you know how long it will take for someone to come over?"
There was a long silence before a response came: "...No one will come. They're all...corpses."
Corpse? !
Qingyao and Hongyao looked at each other in bewilderment.
Just as the two were at a loss, a small piece of paper suddenly squeezed in through the crack in the door.
After squeezing in, the little golden paper figure walked up to Qingyao and waved its short arms.
"This is... Miss Wu's paper doll?" Qingyao was taken aback, squatted down and opened his palm.
The little paper figure jumped into his palm and kept wriggling as if trying to express something.
"What does this mean?" Hongyao asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at the unusually lively paper figure.
Qingyao didn't understand either, but he tentatively asked, "Did you come here to find us?"
The little paper figure shook its head and pointed outside the iron gate.
"Did they come in with someone else and then see us?" Qingyao guessed.
This time, the little paper figure nodded.
"Can you get us out of here?" Hongyao asked. "Can you come in from outside and get us out of here?"
The little paper figure seemed to think for a moment, then nodded.
It jumped off Qingyao's hand and then stuck to the iron gate.
A golden luster shimmered slightly on it, and then the two heard a crisp sound coming from outside the door.
The door creaked open from the outside.
Qingyao was overjoyed. He turned to Hongyao and said, "I'll go out first. You stay."
"I'll leave you the little paper doll too."
Just as Hongyao was about to object, Qingyao grabbed the small paper doll, stuffed it into her arms, and whispered in her ear, "The person next door definitely knows something. Try to make contact with them."
After he finished speaking, he carefully pushed open the door and looked outside.
There was nothing in the empty hallway.
“…Be careful,” Hongyao whispered behind him.
The door was closed, and the faint footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
……
Wu Zhao waited for a while in the villa courtyard, but the little paper doll did not return.
She twirled her fingers and raised an eyebrow: "They ran quite far, they really know how to hide, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows."
"Could it be that Lin Lele and the other two were also taken to another island?"
The Pearl Islands are composed of more than a dozen small islands connected together, and they are located on the largest main island.
She had just sensed that the little paper figure had left the main island and gone to other small islands.
It seems the corpse driver isn't on this main island.
If she wants to go to other islands, her current strength is not enough to go directly there.
Turning the ring on his hand, Wu Zhao felt it was necessary to go back and find Gu Chen.
Let's go gather some purple aura!
Moreover, there are more than a dozen frozen corpses around her, and how to deal with them is also a problem.
After thinking for a moment, she took out the talisman.
Fearing that the corpse drivers would come back to control them, Wu Zhao temporarily sealed all the corpses inside the villa.
After closing the villa door, Wu Zhao said, "Don't worry, you will all get your revenge, and those people... will be punished."
Then she turned around and went back to find Gu Chen and Wu Xingyun.
From afar, she could see Gu Chen sitting in a wheelchair, with purple aura pulsating around him.
"Gu Chen!" Wu Zhao jogged a few steps to his side. "Why are you outside? Where's Xingyun?"
Gu Chen first subtly observed her before saying, "It was a bit stuffy in the room, so I wanted to come out for some fresh air. Xingyun is inside. Have you taken care of things on your end?"
She wasn't hurt... Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Zhao said with some trouble, "We couldn't find Lin Lele and the others. The corpse driver took them to another island."
"I need to ask Xingyun if he can sail a boat."
She pushed him into the house.
Gu Chen's fingers twitched: "Hmm... if you don't mind, I'll open it."
"Eh?"
Wu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but I'd still like to ask Xingyun first."
The yin energy above his head was still quite threatening, and Wu Zhao wasn't entirely sure if Mr. Ning had any backup plans.
In addition, she was very concerned about the little paper doll and the finger bone she had learned about from He Hua.
I have a bad feeling about this.
“…That’s fine, after all, I’m a burden now.” Gu Chen’s voice was low and hoarse, as if he was somewhat disappointed.
The purple aura that had been stuck to her hand was now drooping and lying on the back of her hand.
Wu Zhao quickly explained, "If Xingyun can sail, there's no need to trouble you at all. You just need to get some rest!"
She sighed.
Such a big shot is really hard to appease!
Wu Xingyun was sitting on the sofa in a daze when Wu Zhao pushed Gu Chen in while he was still comforting Gu Chen.
She didn't notice that Gu Chen's fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair twitched slightly, while a glint flashed in Wu Xingyun's eyes as he sat on the sofa.
“Huh, what’s wrong with me…” Wu Xingyun scratched his head, somewhat bewildered.
Upon seeing Wu Zhao, he immediately stood up: "Back so soon? Did you find them?"
Wu Zhao shook his head and said, "No, there was a small problem."
"I saw a lot of speedboats on the shore earlier. Do you know how to drive them?"
Wu Xingyun's expression was strange: "My goodness, my great-grandmother, have you forgotten that I get seasick...?"
Uh… I really forgot. Wu Zhao patted his forehead.
"The corpse-drivers took them to other islands; we need to sail there."
“I’ll do it,” Gu Chen said. “It seems I’m the only one who can open it, otherwise the two of you probably won’t be able to go.”
Wu Zhao thought he was right.
Moreover, Wu Zhao was also worried about leaving him alone on the island.
Mr. Ning must have also discovered Gu Chen's imperial destiny; it would be very dangerous to leave him waiting alone.
"Okay, thank you for the hard work."
After tidying up a bit, Wu Zhao pushed Gu Chen and Wu Xingyun to the dock.
Four or five small yachts were moored at the dock.
The weather was still sunny, but as soon as the scientists arrived at the dock, the sky suddenly turned cloudy.
The waves began to roll restlessly.
Wu Zhao's eyes were fixed on a small island not far away, where dense yin energy was gathering.
"It seems they won't let us get close easily..."
Looking at the surging waves, Wu Xingyun's face turned completely green.
"That seasickness-preventing talisman water... do you still have any?" He looked at Wu Zhao expectantly.
Wu Zhao was speechless: "There's only one. I haven't had time to draw the rest yet."
Wu Xingyun suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.
"You push Gu Chen onto the boat first, and I'll draw one for you!"
Having no other choice, Wu Zhao had to take out the talisman.
The thunder rumbled incessantly, and dark, heavy clouds seemed about to descend.
"Oh no, we need to get there quickly."
Wu Zhao stopped drawing talismans; such a large-scale operation and such a strong fluctuation of yin energy.
Someone is performing a ritual!
"Gu Chen, hurry up!" Wu Zhao grabbed his arm and urged him with a serious expression.
The yacht quickly sailed out of the dock, gradually approaching the small island where dark clouds gathered amidst the strong winds and surging waves.
Wu Xingyun gripped the railing tightly.
My stomach is churning.
"啕——"
My great ancestor, the sorcerer, I, your grandson, am truly going to send this!
