Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Xiao Yifeng smiled coldly, ignoring Xiao Yichen's questioning, and just pulled Chu Mengmeng in front of him, blocking him from the crowd. Chu Mengmeng frowned in pain, but dared not make a sound, and could only look at Xiao Yichen helplessly, with fear and pleading in her eyes.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will kill her!" Xiao Yifeng threatened viciously. He exerted a little force with the dagger in his hand, leaving a bloody mark on Chu Mengmeng's fair neck.

"Don't hurt her!" Xiao Yichen's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, making it almost impossible to breathe. He had never felt so powerless and so desperate. Looking at Chu Mengmeng's horrified eyes, he wanted to rush up immediately and save her from Xiao Yifeng, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly, otherwise he would only hurt her.

"Want me to let her go? Sure, open the cell door and let me go!" A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Yifeng's eyes. He knew that this was his only chance to escape.

Xiao Yichen clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, blood dripped from his fingers, but he was unaware. He stared at Xiao Yifeng intently, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"Yichen, don't agree to him! Don't bother me!" Chu Mengmeng saw Xiao Yichen's hesitation, she shook her head desperately, tears blurring her eyes. She would rather suffer herself than see Xiao Yichen compromise for her.

"Shut up!" Xiao Yifeng roared, and swung the dagger in his hand again, causing blood to flow from Chu Mengmeng's neck.

"Stop!" Xiao Yichen closed his eyes in pain, he knew he had no choice.

He turned around slowly and ordered the people outside the cell door: "Open the cell door!"

With a heavy "boom", the prison door slowly opened, and Xiao Yifeng held Chu Mengmeng hostage and walked out step by step. Every step he took was like a sharp blade, piercing Xiao Yichen's heart fiercely.

"Mengmeng..." Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand weakly, but couldn't grab anything. He could only watch Chu Mengmeng being taken away by Xiao Yifeng and disappear into the darkness.

After Xiao Yifeng escaped, the cell fell into silence. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er looked at the distraught Xiao Yichen, their hearts filled with worry and sadness, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

Xiao Yichen fell to his knees helplessly, slamming his fists heavily on the ground, making a dull sound. His eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with self-blame and pain.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." He muttered to himself, his voice full of despair.

The cell was dead silent, with only the sound of Xiao Yichen's heavy breathing and the sound of his fists hitting the ground echoing. He knelt on the ground, staring at the ground with lifeless eyes, letting his tears fall silently. The scene of Chu Mengmeng being taken away by Xiao Yifeng was like a brand, deeply engraved in his mind, and could not be erased.

"Yi Chen, don't be like this..." Su Mubai looked at his friend distressedly, and wanted to reach out and pat his shoulder, but he froze in mid-air and finally fell down helplessly. The city guardians have always taken it as their responsibility to protect the citizens, but now they have to watch their companions being captured. This feeling of powerlessness makes him extremely frustrated.

Lin Wan'er stood aside, her eyes also reddened, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. She took a deep breath, walked to Xiao Yichen, and said softly: "Yichen, Mengmeng is a lucky person, she will be fine. The most important thing for us now is to cheer up and not let Xiao Yifeng get away with it!"

Xiao Yichen slowly raised his head and looked at the worried eyes of his two friends. He felt even more guilty. He said in a hoarse voice, "I am useless. I didn't protect Mengmeng well..."

"It's not your fault, Yichen," Su Mubai shook his head. "Xiao Yifeng is full of tricks. We have all been tricked by him. Now is not the time to blame ourselves. We must find him as soon as possible and save Mengmeng!"

However, Xiao Yifeng's escape cast a shadow over the city. The news spread quickly, and the citizens gradually turned from initial shock to panic and anger. The city guardians who were once regarded as heroes have now become the target of public criticism, accused of incompetence and weakness.

"What happened to the city protector? He can't even protect a girl!"

"We placed our hopes on them, but what happened? They let us down!"

"As long as Xiao Yifeng is not eliminated, will we always live in fear?"

All kinds of doubts and abuses came like a tide, overwhelming the city defenders. The glory and pride they once had seemed extremely ironic at this moment.

Faced with huge pressure, Xiao Yichen and others had no time to care. They had only one thought in their minds, that is, to save Chu Mengmeng at all costs and bring Xiao Yifeng to justice!

Late at night, Xiao Yichen stood alone in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky outside, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He knew that Xiao Yifeng was scheming and would never give up easily. And Chu Mengmeng would be in great danger if she fell into his hands.

He clenched his fists, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He decided to go deep into the tiger's den alone to find Chu Mengmeng's whereabouts!

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, turned back to the room, and began to pack his luggage. He carefully wiped the weapons he often used, put them in a special backpack, and brought some dry food and water. He knew that this operation was extremely dangerous, but he could no longer care about so much. He had to find Chu Mengmeng as soon as possible.

"Where are you going?" Su Mubai pushed the door open and saw Xiao Yichen packing his things. He immediately understood his intention.

"I'm going to save Mengmeng." Xiao Yichen did not hide anything and spoke in a firm tone.

"No, you can't go alone!" Su Mubai grabbed his arm, "Xiao Yifeng is cunning, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

"I know," Xiao Yichen looked at Su Mubai calmly, "but I can't sit here and wait to die. Mengmeng is still in his hands. Every moment we wait, she will be in more danger."

"But..." Su Mubai wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Lin Wan'er.

"Let him go," Lin Wan'er walked up to Xiao Yichen, her eyes full of worry, "I believe he can bring Mengmeng back."

Xiao Yichen looked at Lin Wan'er gratefully. He knew that they were all worried about him, but he had made up his mind. He patted Su Mubai's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave this to you and Wan'er. I will definitely bring Mengmeng back safely."

After saying that, he turned around and left the room without hesitation.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er chased to the door, looking at Xiao Yichen's receding back, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They knew that after this departure, they didn't know when they would see him again.

Xiao Yichen rushed all the way out of the city. He didn't know where Xiao Yifeng hid Chu Mengmeng, but he knew that Xiao Yifeng would definitely leave clues.

Sure enough, in a forest on the outskirts of the city, Xiao Yichen found some strange symbols. These symbols seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them. He squatted down and observed these symbols carefully, trying to find some clues from them.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he remembered the origin of these symbols. These symbols were part of an ancient formation, and this formation was used to seal the evil power!

Why did Xiao Yifeng use this formation? Could it be...

Xiao Yichen was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He realized that Xiao Yifeng's purpose might not be as simple as just taking Chu Mengmeng away, he might be plotting a bigger conspiracy!

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately stood up and followed the guidance of the symbol and continued to move forward. He knew that he had to find Chu Mengmeng as soon as possible and stop Xiao Yifeng, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

Ahead, there are unknown dangers and challenges, but Xiao Yichen has no hesitation. For Chu Mengmeng, he is willing to give everything!

And Xiao Yifeng had already laid a net in front of him, waiting for his arrival...

Xiao Yichen followed the symbols in the woods, feeling anxious. He knew that these symbols were not accidental, and must have been left by Xiao Yifeng on purpose. But this made him even more confused. What exactly did Xiao Yifeng want to do? Why did he lead him here?

The further he walked, the deeper the woods became, and the dimmer the light became. The air around him seemed to freeze, and it was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, he felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw a black stone slab. The surface of the stone slab was engraved with complex patterns, emitting a faint glow. He squatted down and carefully observed these patterns, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"This is..." Before he had time to think about it, the stone slab under his feet suddenly sank, and he lost his balance and fell down.

"Ah!" He screamed, his body falling rapidly in the darkness, with only the whistling sound of the wind in his ears.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell heavily to the ground, his whole body in pain and everything went dark before his eyes.

He struggled to get up and groped around. This seemed to be a long and narrow passage with cold and damp walls and a rotten smell in the air.

He tried to release his spiritual power to explore the surrounding situation, but found that his spiritual power was completely suppressed here and could not be used at all.

"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath, feeling even more uneasy.

He knew that he must have fallen into Xiao Yifeng's trap. This guy was really well prepared!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to panic, he had to find the exit and Chu Mengmeng as soon as possible.

He groped along the wall, moving forward step by step. The passage was completely silent, with only the sound of his own footsteps echoing, making it seem even more eerie and terrifying.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of him. He was delighted and quickened his pace.

However, when he walked into the light, he was stunned.

In front of him was a huge stone door. There were ferocious ghost faces carved on the stone door, and green flames were burning on both sides, making the whole space look spooky.

What shocked him even more was that underneath the stone gate, there lay a skeleton with white bones!

"This..." He took a breath and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

He knew that he was already in deep danger, and this was just the beginning...
