C87 (1/2)

Xia Fu Yu and I stayed in the darkness for an unknown period of time, neither of us speaking. I anxiously waited for Feng Tian Yu and the rest to come and save me, but I didn't hear a single sound.

”Sound... Captain Xia, have you noticed that there's not a single sound? ”

This place seemed to be in absolute silence, without any sound at all. In the modern city, no matter where we were locked up, there should be sound.

”Right, how can there be no sound at all? Is it a basement or a suburb? ”

I shook my head, thinking that this wasn't the place. There was hardly any place in the city that was as absolutely safe as this, even if it was in the basement or in the suburbs, where I should have at least heard the sound of electrical appliances or vehicles.

Such a place, such a stillness, I have felt it before in Fang Yuanyi's memories! Could it be that what I'm sensing right now is just a soul?

I can't be sure, because, like my previous experience, in such an environment all my senses are the same as real people.

I suddenly thought of something and bent down to touch my body. When I felt the familiar yet unfamiliar sensation, I knew that I had guessed correctly.

”Captain Xia, we are currently not in a realistic environment. Our soul has left our body, and right now, the only thing locked up is our soul.”

Xia Fanyu seemed to be very surprised. Perhaps he had never thought of such a scene before, but that was right. If I hadn't gone through Fang Yuanyi's memories, I might not have thought of it either.

”Miss Lin, do you mean that we are dead?”

I didn't know how to reply to Xia Fanyu. I could only confirm that my soul had left my body, but whether it was dead or not, I could not confirm.

”I can only be sure that this isn't reality, because I've been to a place like this before. Although the moment we step on the ground, it's just like usual land, there's no difference at all, but if you carefully touch it, you can feel that this isn't concrete nor brick, there's some glass-like touch, as if it's not solid at all.”

When Xia Fu Yu heard me say so, he immediately squatted down to touch it, and found that it was indeed just as I had said. After all, he was a police officer, and was extremely experienced in field inspection.

”It's really true! ”Miss Lin, you are too smart. How do we get out of here now?”

Xia Fu Yu heard from me that he had been to this kind of place before and felt a lot more confident about escaping. Since he had also been there before and was able to come out, he should be able to come out now as well.

When I first entered Fang Yuanyi's memories, I was still able to come out because Feng Tianyu was also there. In fact, I was only going to summon Feng Tianyu, but right now, only Xia Huanyu and I are locked up here. I really don't know how to get out.

”I... ”I don't know. The last time I went out, someone took me away. I'm afraid I can't escape, but I can try.”

Xia Fanyu replied with a somewhat disappointed ”Oh.” However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had made a lot of progress compared to before. Thus, he could only muster his confidence and wait for me to try it out.

I couldn't see anything in the darkness, but I could clearly feel that I was sweating all over, because I wasn't sure if my next attempt would be successful. If I could have used the Parasol Tree Lovesick Formation to summon Feng Tian Yu out of my memories, then could I have summoned him back to my side now?

I shook my head, trying my best to get rid of all the apprehension and uneasiness in my heart. According to what Feng Tianyu and Xia Mingyuan said, they should have long since found me using the Wutong Lovesick Formation.
