I want to capture the heroine after traveling through time

The child timidly reached out her tiny hand and gently picked up the hamburger in front of her. Her large, clear eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity, her mouth slightly parted, as if afraid to accidentally spoil this rare delicacy. After all, having lived in an orphanage her entire life, this kind of food was completely unfamiliar to her.

In fact, she had been starving for a long time. At this moment, the tempting aroma kept entering her little nose, making her unable to resist the invasion of hunger. Although this was her first time to taste this strange food composed of bread and meat, she was smart and had an excellent memory.

Some children had seen, through the orphanage's high walls, people outside feasting on this delicacy. The eagerness and envy in those children's eyes remains deeply etched in her mind. The director's mother had also noticed the children's drooling over the food many times. Whenever the children looked at her with pitiful eyes, her heart ached. She gently assured the children that once the next year's funds were in place and all the necessities for the orphans were purchased, if there was any extra money left, she would buy each child a delicious burger to satisfy their cravings.

The child stared at the burger in his hands with shining eyes, as if it were the most delicious thing in the world. He bit into it with huge mouthfuls, his cheeks bulging like a cute little squirrel. In a moment, the entire burger disappeared into the child's mouth, leaving only a few crumbs at the edge. By then, the child's stomach was already bulging like an inflated ball. Perhaps because he ate too quickly and too full, the child couldn't help but burp loudly.

Ling Linyi, who was waiting in the trunk, witnessed the scene firsthand. With her keen hearing, she clearly heard the burp. She couldn't help but smile slightly and whispered, "Drink some of that water if you're thirsty, but don't drink too much, or you'll have trouble using the restroom later." She then continued to observe the surroundings intently.

At this moment, the traffickers finally finished their instant noodles, drinking every drop of soup. They wiped the grease from their mouths with their rough hands, threw all the garbage into the trash can, and then turned to walk towards the car.

"They are back. Let's not talk about it for now." Ling Linyi, who was about to go to the roof of the car to check the situation, stopped.

She quickly remembered, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind - hadn't Di Lian taught her how to use the spiritual space before? It was always much more convenient for her to carry things when going out, as she could just put them directly into the spiritual space.

Thinking of this, Ling Linyi quickly closed his eyes, concentrated his mental power, and sank into the spiritual space. In that mysterious and vast space, countless items were neatly arranged, like a huge treasure house.

Many of the items inside were gifts from Di Lian, almost one a day, bringing color to her life. The gifts were all brought back from the various small worlds Di Lian had visited, a wide variety of things. Only a small pile to the side contained Ling Linyi's daily belongings from this world.

She searched carefully, finding a small pile nearby. Time passed, and finally, among the pile of miscellaneous items, she found a beautifully wrapped box. She opened it and saw a brand new cell phone inside, gleaming with a charming metallic sheen.

This phone is the latest and most advanced model on the market. A few days ago, a partner company sent her this precious gift as a token of gratitude and respect. Not only that, they also sent her a pair of high-quality headphones, featuring meticulous workmanship and excellent sound quality.

Looking at these exquisite items, Ling Linyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of joy. He thought to himself: Giving these headphones to that poor child would be perfect. At least it would make her feel less fearful and helpless in this narrow and dark suitcase, and she wouldn't have to hear the malicious words of the traffickers.

Then, she gently extended her hands, and Qiong Ling floated the headphones out of her spiritual space and retrieved them. Worried that the child was too young to understand how to operate them, Ling Linyi carefully adjusted the settings and logged into her account to access the music playback interface. Then, she expertly connected the headphones to her phone.

After everything was ready, Ling Linyi used his magical powers to quietly teleport the mobile phone and headphones to where the little girl was.

"Little girl, come here and look! Look at this little, cute thing! It's called headphones. It's so easy to use! Just gently insert it into your ear, blocking the hole tightly. See? It's connected to this thing that looks a bit like a brick. This is a magical treasure—a mobile phone! Whenever you're scared or bored, you can play with it as you please. And don't worry about disturbing others, because we've connected the headphones. Even if you make a loud noise, no one outside can hear it." Ling Linyi explained to the little girl earnestly in her clear, pleasant voice, like a clear mountain spring. Her words seemed to transform into a warm and gentle ray of sunlight, easily penetrating layers of darkness and shining directly into the deepest corners of the little girl's heart, shrouded in haze.

Then, a smile as bright as the spring sun broke out on the child's face. That innocent look seemed to dispel all the gloom in the world. She had just put on her headphones when, the next moment, a cheerful song with a lively rhythm and moving melody flowed into her ears like a stream of clear water, instantly immersing her in the wonderful world of music.

Meanwhile, Ling Linyi had been keeping a close eye on the child. Seeing her successfully put on her headphones and a satisfied expression on her face, her heart finally settled. Then, she swiftly and lightly climbed onto the roof of the car, her eyes fixed on the traffickers like a hawk.

Fortunately, the traffickers didn't seem to notice anything unusual. The driver remained completely focused on the steering wheel, pressing the accelerator with all his might, sending the van hurtling down the road. The van continued to move forward, unknowingly covering a distance of over a hundred kilometers.

At first, through the car window, I could catch a glimpse of the bustling city: tall buildings lined up side by side, neon lights flashing brightly, and the streets bustling with cars and pedestrians. However, as the journey progressed, the surrounding environment gradually became deserted and remote.

Time slipped away silently amid the clatter of wheels, each minute and second seeming incredibly long. Finally, when the van slowly slowed down and finally stopped, the sight before them made even the most ordinary person gasp—a dilapidated, dusty, abandoned warehouse stood alone, surrounded by overgrown weeds, giving off an eerie and terrifying vibe.

Zhang Qiu swiftly jumped out of the car first, then steadily lifted the heavy suitcase down. After he stood still, the others began to get out of the car one after another and walked towards the nearby warehouse.

At that moment, Ling Linyi stood on the roof of the car, watching the scene from above, her gaze seemingly unstoppable. With incredible speed, she immediately emerged from the car and appeared behind the trafficker. After landing, she quickly approached and, using a special voice transmission method, called out to the child inside: "Don't be afraid, little one. I'll be here to get you out!" Then, muttering something, she raised her hand, as if casting some magical spell. In the blink of an eye, any traces that might have been left inside the suitcase vanished without a trace.

However, the child inside the suitcase displayed incredible acting skills. When she sensed movement in the suitcase, she immediately pretended to faint and remained motionless. This child's reaction speed and acting skills were truly astonishing.

But Ling Linyi had another consideration in mind. If the child's disguise couldn't be sustained, and if those heartless human traffickers accidentally discovered the clues, then this clever child would likely suffer unimaginable harm again because of his cleverness. Thinking of this, Ling Linyi decisively decided to take further action.

She extended her right index finger and gently curled it. A fine, hair-like strand of golden spirit slowly emanated from her fingertip. As the spirit gradually diffused, a refreshing, intoxicating fragrance instantly filled the entire suitcase. Then, the child, who had been pretending to be dazed, shuddered at the strange aroma and fell into a deep slumber.
