1712 Chapter 1711-a glimmer of hope
Zhang Zian stared at Galaxy in a daze, trying to convince himself that it was not an illusion.
Was it another dream?
Or had he really gone crazy this time?
The sky was still dark, and the faint light of dawn cast a faint shadow on the sea of stars. No matter how one looked at it, it was real.
“Galaxy, why are you … What the hell is this …” He stammered incoherently. There were too many things he wanted to ask, and all of them rushed to his mouth at once, but he didn’t know how to ask.
Galaxy seemed to know what he was going to ask. It glanced at the phone he threw on the bed and said,””Everyone was locked up. Galaxy escaped on its own.”
Its words were simple, but it was enough to explain the situation.
“Where are we locked up? I …”
He wanted to say that he was going to save everyone, but … He was already past the age where he could not do what he wanted to say on impulse.
Galaxy looked at the void,”everyone was locked in an invisible space. It took Galaxy a lot of effort to escape.”
An invisible and untouchable space … It took a lot of effort …
Zhang Zian noticed that Galaxy’s hair was a little messy, as if it had just come out of a particularly narrow place.
“Good … It’s good that you managed to escape …” He muttered.”Is everyone … Okay?”
“Everyone is also trying to escape.” Galaxy did not answer directly.
“Then …” Hope welled up in his heart.
Galaxy shook its head.
“Now, we can only wait patiently for the reinforcements to arrive~”
His heart sank again. Galaxy’s meaning could not be more obvious. It was difficult for the other Elfins to escape the shackles set by the game. Their power was not good at dealing with this invisible space.
The reinforcements …
This was the second time Galaxy had mentioned this word. The first time, Zhang Zian’s brain was still numb. He was still immersed in the shock of the Elfins ‘disappearance and Galaxy’s appearance alone. He didn’t hear it clearly, nor did he know what it said.
“Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements coming from?” He asked tentatively.
Galaxy shook its head again.”Meow! I can’t tell you. Zian, you have to be confident.”
“Alright … If confidence is all that matters, I can have as many as I want.”
Zhang Zian was well aware that if even the elves couldn’t do it, he would be even more helpless. Now he could only trust Galaxy.
He had to pull himself together, not only for the elves, but also for himself.
Perhaps it was Xinghai’s return that made him slightly more relaxed. At least he still had Xinghai, or perhaps it was Xinghai’s words that ignited the fire of hope in Him. His strength returned to his body, and his mind was clearer.
He picked up his phone and looked at the game notification again. He noticed some rhetorical details.
[All captured elves have been retrieved …]
Not all the sprites had been recalled, but all the captured sprites had been recalled. There seemed to be no difference, but the truth was that they were very different.
He knew that there were at least three sprites that had not been captured after they appeared. One was Zhuang Xiaodie, the second was little white, and the third was the Indian wolf spirit.
If he did not misunderstand this sentence, these three sprites should still exist in this world.
It was not that the game had stopped operating, but it might have just removed the user interface. It was like the client was damaged, but the server was still running normally, but ordinary users could not connect to the server.
It was easy to verify this conjecture as long as he confirmed that the three Elfins still existed. However, the Indian WolfSpirit was in the mahogany forest Park in the United States, far away. He had lost the game’s help, so even if it didn’t disappear, he couldn’t see it, so he could only rule it out.
Zhuang Xiaodie … The situation of this elfin is very special. Its existence does not rely on the mobile phone, and may no longer rely on the game. She is a parasite in his brain, using his dreams as nutrients. As long as he is not dead and can still dream, she will always exist.
From a certain perspective, she could be said to have jumped out of the Three Realms and not within the five elements … She was just that awesome.
He remembered the dream very clearly. She pulled him into the dream after the other Elfins said goodbye to him. There was a difference in time, so she was likely to still exist.
However, every time Zhang Zian saw her in his dreams, it was because she wanted to see him that he could see her. It did not mean that he could dream of her every night. That would be crazy …
Not to mention whether he could fall asleep in his current state of mind, even if he did, he might not be able to dream of her.
In that case, only Xiaobai was left …
At this moment.
Thump.
Something hit the window of the second-floor bedroom.
“Vladimir?”
He was ecstatic, thinking that Vladimir had also escaped after Galaxy, so he quickly ran to the window to look out.
Although there was no Vladimir outside the window, he was both disappointed and surprised.
It was little white!
Little white was standing on the top of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV with a baseball in its mouth. It had thrown the baseball at the window just now.
It was too early, and little white thought that Zhang Zian was still asleep. It caught the baseball that bounced back and planned to swing it a second time, but when it saw him appear by the window, it didn’t need to swing it anymore.
Zhang Zian opened the window.”Little white! You … Are you okay? Come in quickly!”
Little White’s fur was wet and stuck to its body. There were a few bruises on its legs and head. It thought that he was referring to these small injuries and shook its head. “I’m fine,”she said.
As he spoke, little white had already jumped onto the windowsill.
“I’m here today because …”
Little white knew that its nemesis might be in the room, so it didn’t want to stay for long. It was going to leave after finishing the business, but it stood on the windowsill and looked around the room. Unexpectedly, it didn’t see its nemesis, and the other Elfins were only black and white kittens.
It was stunned, and the words that it had just started also stopped. It looked at Zhang Zian in confusion. From his face, it saw depression, hesitation, sadness, and loss. His entire person had lost his usual spirit.
“What’s going on? Where did they go?” It changed its words and asked.
Zhang Zian sighed heavily,”it’s a long story …”
Little white had come to ask him for help because the typhoon yesterday had also caused great damage to the stray dogs. Several dogs had been crushed to death by the fallen trees, and more dogs had been swept away by the storm. There were countless injured dogs. Their residence was adjacent to the landfill, and the garbage in the landfill was blown everywhere by the typhoon, making it stinky. Little white was worried that it would cause a plague among the stray dogs, so he came to him for help.
As for suspect Y, although she was very active in helping, she couldn’t understand its words and knew little about pets.
It knew that it and the stray dog group owed him a lot of favors. Now that he seemed to have encountered a great setback, even if it couldn’t help, it couldn’t pretend not to see it.
So, it jumped into the house from the windowsill.”What happened?”
Zhang Zian briefly explained what had happened.
Xiao Bai gasped when he heard that.”I see … I didn’t feel anything strange. I’m very sorry for your losses, but I don’t think I can be of much help …”
“It’s okay, as long as you’re okay … By the way, why did you come?”
Zhang Zian’s heart was more or less at ease. Little white was still there, and the Indian lang Ling and Zhuang Xiaodie were still there. Things might not have turned around.
Little white hesitated for a moment before saying,””It’s nothing. The typhoon was too strong yesterday, so I’m here to see if you’re safe … Of course, that doesn’t include the blue cat. “
It had come here from the suburbs with the sewage water that had not completely receded before dawn. Of course, it was not just to visit them, but Zhang Zian was facing great difficulties at this time. It did not want him to be distracted by it and the stray dogs. After all, they were not in imminent danger.
“Thank you,” he said.
Normally, Zhang Zian might be able to detect its difficulties, but now he was too busy to take care of himself.
“Then I’ll take my leave, take care.” Little white jumped onto the windowsill again.
“You too,”
Zhang Zian nodded to say goodbye.
Little white jumped onto the roof of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV, then jumped into the sewage and returned to the suburbs.
On the way to the South, little white swam through the water mechanically.
Its difficult enemy had disappeared just like that. The stray dogs didn’t need to waste a single soldier. In time, it would defeat the stray cats and restore Binhai city … The strange thing was that little white should have been celebrating, but its heart was equally empty.
Perhaps, the person who understood you the most was not your friend, but your enemy.
He had lost his enemy and his confidant.
Sword unsheathed, sigu was at a loss.
Zhang Zian looked at little White’s back and was about to close the window when he heard someone shout,””Master! We’re coming!”
He turned around and saw Wang Qian and Li Kun coming from the other direction.
The water level on the street had dropped. Although it had not completely receded, they could no longer drive the assault boat, so they had come by water.
Were they the reinforcements that Galaxy was referring to?
…How was that possible?
If these two idiots were the reinforcements, Zhang Zian would poke his own eyes.
Zhang Zian frowned.”Didn’t I tell you not to come today?”
The two of them said with a smile,””We have nothing to do at home anyway. Dad and mom were so nice to us last night, and this morning they’ve been complaining that we’re not as good as our neighbors. We should just stay in the shop and enjoy ourselves. Out of sight, out of mind.”
Zhang Zian was speechless.
The two of them mumbled as they climbed onto the top of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV.”Master, give us a hand … Eh? I think the water is almost gone. We might be able to open the door in a while. “
They stretched out their arms, waiting for Zhang Zian to drag them into the second-floor window, but he never reached out.
“We’re not open for business today. You guys can go home and rest, or go somewhere else to play, like driving an assault boat out at sea. You guys must be tired after working for so long.” Zhang Zian said.
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other in confusion. Today’s master seemed to be a little different from usual.
With the help of the morning light, they looked up at his face and found that he seemed to have aged a few years overnight. They could not help but be shocked.
“Master! What’s wrong? What’s going on?” They asked anxiously.
Zhang Zian felt their concern, but they couldn’t help him with this, and there was no need to tell them. He forced a smile and said,”it’s nothing. You can go back first.”
Wang Qian wanted to say more, but Li Kun quietly pulled him aside and gave him a look, meaning: Master must have encountered an extremely difficult problem, and we can’t help him. Master probably needs some space to cultivate in seclusion, so let’s not bother him.
Wang Qian saw that Zhang Zian had made up his mind, and it was probably useless to say anything, so he had to agree with Li Kun’s opinion.
“We’ll take our leave then. Take care, master. Call us if you need anything. We’ll come over immediately.” Li Kun was the first to jump off the roof.
Just as Wang Qian was about to jump off the roof, he turned to Zhang Zian and said,””Master, I don’t know what happened, but I have a word to say to you.”
Zhang Zian nodded,”go on.”
“If you want to become a demigod, you must first become a mortal,” Wang Jie said with a heavy heart.
Although Zhang Zian didn’t read many novels about cultivation, he could understand the meaning of this sentence. It was probably like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon and coming back to life. It needed to withstand the trial to usher in a transformation.
“Alright, I understand.” He said.
Wang Qian didn’t say anything more. He turned around and jumped off the roof.
Li Kun was waiting for him not far away. He asked in a low voice,””What did you just say?”
Wang Jie answered honestly,”I think master is probably going to undergo a tribulation.”
“Ha?” Li Kun was stunned.
“Don’t you think so?” Yesterday’s Typhoon was very strange. It clearly turned a corner, but suddenly turned back … I heard that other great beings all undergo lightning tribulations, so maybe our master is undergoing wind tribulation … Besides, there was no lack of lightning yesterday. “
Li Kun came to a sudden realization and couldn’t agree more.
“The Tribulation is the time when master is the most vulnerable and needs help. Although we can’t help, we can’t just leave like this, or it won’t show our sincerity.” Wang Ben said.
Li Kun looked around and pointed at the Li’s snack bar.”The old couple is about to open. The foundation of their store is high, so it’s not easy for water to enter. Let’s go in and help. At the same time, we’ll wait for master’s call. What do you think?”
Wang Qian gave him a thumbs up.”Good idea!”
The waterproof work of the Li couple’s snack bar was not as good as Zhang Zian ‘s. The second floor was leaking, and the first floor was leaking water. There were a lot of things to do today, so they got up early in the morning.
Wang Qian and Li Kun, one after the other, ran into the snack bar uninvited.
After sending the two of them away, Zhang Zian left the window and returned to the house.
He didn’t know who the reinforcements were, how long he had to wait, or how the reinforcements were going to turn the tide, but Galaxy had no intention of disclosing it. He could only wait, but he didn’t want to wait through the difficult time, so he began to busy himself with the store, such as drinking water, pouring water, and adding ice cubes. At the same time, he guessed the possible candidates of the reinforcements in his heart, but he couldn’t find any reliable ones.
After a while, the water stopped leaking into the room, probably because the water level outside had dropped below the steps of the door.
Whoosh.
Someone knocked on the curtain Door.
Who was it?
Zhang Zian opened the glass door and pulled up the curtain Door.”Sorry, the shop is not open today.”
“Hey! I’m not here to buy anything, I’m here to help!”
A girl who looked like a middle school student stood on the steps and raised her hand in greeting with a smile.
