Xia Hua's hair was wet, and her face and lips were very pale. Zhou Ye had never seen Xia Hua in such a mess. At first glance, she almost didn't recognize that it was Xia Hua.
But even so, such a strange summer flower still took him away from the false dream and returned to the cold reality.
"Xia...xiahua?" Zhou Ye opened his mouth, and two strings of bubbles gurgled up. This time, the liquid poured into his mouth didn't seem so sweet.
"Great! You're awake!" Xia Hua's voice became clearer, "Zhou Ye! Don't go back to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to wake up!"
Zhou Ye swam hard to the vicinity of Xia Hua, grabbed the side wall of the container with both hands, and looked at Xia Hua half confused and half for help.
"Zhou Ye, do as I say now," Xia Hua poked the outer wall of the container, as if she wanted to wake Zhou Ye up through this layer of container, "First of all, hold your breath!"
Zhou Ye tilted his head slightly as if he didn't understand what Xia Hua meant.
"Hold your breath!" Xia Hua covered her mouth and nose and gave a demonstration, "Just like this... don't suck the liquid inside into your body!"
Zhou Ye lowered his eyes and seemed to take a closer look at the liquid beside him.
"Zhou Ye, be obedient," Xia Hua leaned against the side wall of the container. She didn't know whether it was because of anxiety or something else, her face seemed to have become paler, "I know how you feel now, but this liquid is poisonous.
If you don't give up, you will die here...I know, I really know...because I just escaped from such a container..."
die?
As soon as he heard this word, Zhou Ye's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the desire for survival deep in his mind seemed to be stabbed hard by that word. Zhou Ye's eyes widened slightly, and he spat out a few more pills in his mouth.
bubble.
"Listen to me, hold your breath first," Xia Hua's steps faltered for a moment, but she quickly held on to the side wall of the container to steady herself, "Okay, have you held your breath? If you have, you can
Just nodded."
In fact, there is no need to nod, Zhou Ye inside has already shown obvious pain. Xia Hua is familiar with this state, because this is what she has experienced not long ago.
Zhou Ye inside the liquid was experiencing the feeling of his internal organs being evacuated. His body seemed to be unable to leave the liquid. Once it lost the infiltration of the liquid, all the internal organs seemed to come alive in an instant. Zhou Ye
His body struggled internally.
"Okay, Zhou Ye, hold on," Xia Hua patted the side wall of the container, as if to encourage Zhou Ye, "Next step, swim up as hard as you can!"
Zhou Ye hugged his body and raised his head in pain. He pointed upward, opened his mouth, and two more strings of bubbles came out of his mouth.
"I understand, you don't need to speak, otherwise you will inhale the liquid again," Xia Hua said hurriedly, "Listen to me and swim upstream! The top is not what it looks like, there is an outlet!"
Zhou Ye trudged upstream. He believed Xia Hua's words that the top should not be sealed, but...
Zhou Ye's hand touched a familiar barrier.
A huge despair instantly enveloped his whole body.
It's sealed.
What Xia Hua said was false.
No one can save themselves.
Zhou Ye felt as if there was an empty space in his body, and the only thing that could fill that void was the liquid around him.
As long as you absorb these liquids, you can...
"Saturday night!"
Xia Hua's heart-rending voice exploded in the distance, and she came closer at an astonishing speed.
Zhou Ye's eyes suddenly widened.
Xia Hua was right in front of her. She slapped the side wall hard and pointed upward.
"Right up there! Sunday night!..."
Zhou Ye gritted her teeth.
He has almost lost the ability to think.
But he made the final choice.
Zhou Ye retracted his hands, closed his eyes, and slammed into the real or false barrier above his head.

"If it doesn't work, I'll ask my teacher Qian Yuan to come in!" Luo Jiutian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He slammed his hand on the mirror and shouted, "If it still doesn't work, I will... let's play it again. This time I will go in."
…”
"Jiutian, don't be impatient." The Taoist priest took a closer look and raised his hand to stop Luo Jiutian. "Look, there seems to be some changes in this mirror."
Luo Jiutian withdrew his hand, and everyone looked at the mirror that had been blurred by Luo Jiutian. Only then did they realize that Zhou Ye's face seemed to have disappeared.
The expressions of the three people were different. The Taoist priest frowned deeply, Luo Jiutian was surprised, and Li Muyuan turned around and ran out of the bathroom as if he suddenly remembered something.
The Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian decided between the mirror and Li Muyuan, and finally ran out with Li Muyuan.
Li Muyuan ran to his medicine box and rummaged through it.
"Muyuan, what have you thought of?" Luo Jiutian asked hurriedly, "Have you thought of a solution?"
"Absolutely." Li Mu didn't raise his head, "That's right."
Sounds... not so sure yet.
The Taoist priest and Li Muyuan did not disturb him, but waited quietly aside. After a while, Li Muyuan dug out a small handful of seed-like things from the corner of the box. He clutched the handful of seeds and frowned deeply.
, turned around.
The Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian looked down at the handful of black seeds.
"What is this?" Luo Jiutian asked, "Can it allow us to enter the mirror?"
"I don't know either," Li Muyuan said, "but you can give it a try."
"What is its function?" the Taoist priest asked.
Li Muyuan hesitated for a moment, then cleared his throat and whispered, "It can make us... die."
All three people were silent, only Lao Luo nodded as if enlightened.
"I know," said Lao Luo, "it turns out to be soul-returning seeds."
Luo Jiutian grinned.
"This thing is called soul-returning seed," said Li Muyuan, who couldn't hear Lao Luo's voice. "It can make people fall into a state of suspended animation in a short period of time. If the world behind the mirror is really inaccessible to living people,
Maybe...faking death can deceive it."
"Then let's try it quickly." Luo Jiutian stretched out his hand to take the soul-returning seed.
"Wait a minute," the Taoist priest patiently pressed Luo Jiutian's hand and said, "Muyuan looks hesitant. Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Muyuan was silent for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "This soul-returning seed is easy to use, but... its side effects are also very scary."
Luo Jiutian retracted his hand.
"What are the side effects?"
Luo Jiutian looked at Lao Luo, but Lao Luo shrugged and said nothing.
"The suspended animation caused by the soul-returning seeds will cause irreversible damage to the body," Li Muyuan said, "and the damage is really not small..."
