Void Jigsaw Puzzle
Chapter 236 A Critical Moment
Finally he escaped from the dark room. Although the lighting in the underground prison was still dim, it was enough for Guo Ling to see the surroundings clearly.
But this is actually beneficial for him and Tan Ping to restore their vision. If they suddenly enter a high-brightness environment, their eyes will need a longer adaptation period before they can see the surroundings normally. Now they are running for their lives, and every second is critical.
In the dim light, Guo Ling turned back to look at the pursuers and caught a glimpse of Tan Ping's face. As expected, she was as gentle and beautiful as her voice. Although her temperament showed the traces of time, it did not affect her charm at all.
"As expected, he is a local of Fengyao City..."
After this thought briefly flashed through Guo Ling's mind, he focused all his attention on escaping.
Only then did he realize that this underground prison itself was not very big. As Tan Ping said, it was a place used to detain high-level "prisoners". However, this small area was divided into many areas, with many crisscrossing paths. For him, it was like entering a maze.
If Tan Ping behind him had not given him instructions in advance, he would have been lost and caught long ago.
Because there were more and more pursuers, at first, there were only two guards accompanying the person who came to deliver food, but after they found that Guo Ling and Tan Ping had escaped, they called for rescue as soon as possible.
Under the surveillance of the entire monitoring system, Guo Ling and his companions could only briefly escape the pursuers' route, but they still appeared in the monitor's sight without any obstacles. Therefore, they had no chance to rest for a moment, and every move they made was impossible to escape.
"What should we do? If we keep going around like this, we will be trapped and die here like mice in a bellows!" Guo Ling asked Tan Ping behind him, panting.
They originally planned to rush out of the underground prison directly, but the other party was very cunning. The moment they discovered their escape, they sent people to guard the door and closed the door to attack them.
Tan Ping shook his head, frowning: "Don't rush me! Let me think about it! I have a way!"
As the former mayor of Houkun City, she naturally knew the overall structure of the underground prison and was well aware of its strict security. Basically, if the gate was sealed, there would be no other chance unless they could fly up into the sky and break out from the ground in the main hall of Yuanbao. However, the latter was almost impossible, after all, they had no wings.
She has always been a strong and stubborn woman, unwilling to give in no matter how big the difficulties are. Even now, when they are trapped in an ever-shrinking encirclement, even though she has almost lost hope in her heart, she has not shown any fear.
However, Guo Ling sensed despair in her seemingly forceful response, and he felt relieved. Turning back, he smiled and asked, "Do you regret escaping with me? If we hadn't done anything, we'd probably still be safely trapped in that room, mired in darkness."
"Do you think we can live in peace in the darkness by doing nothing? If I'm not mistaken, they must be waiting for my two codes next to the central water supply system. The 'happy look' may be difficult to obtain, but it's not impossible. I believe that if I continue to disobey, they will use methods we never imagined on me, forcing me to spit out the code without any conscious involvement and give them a 'happy look'."
At this point, Tan Ping's mood suddenly became a little depressed: "No matter how perfect and sophisticated the system and laws are, they can't stop people from racking their brains to find loopholes. All the locks can only be used to prevent gentlemen."
She was not upset because she was immediately surrounded by enemies, but she could not remain indifferent when her long-held belief was shamelessly shattered.
For some reason, Guo Ling also felt uncomfortable when he heard these words.
Both of them seemed to have forgotten about the pursuers who were rapidly surrounding them, as if nothing else mattered.
However, when the first wave of pursuers were only a few meters away from them and were about to rush forward to capture them, Guo Ling suddenly pounced on Tan Ping, knocked her to the ground, and then hugged her tightly.
"What are you doing..." Tan Ping asked subconsciously, but before she could finish her words, she felt herself surrounded by a warm body full of power. She felt a very strong masculine scent coming towards her, and then she felt a little dizzy unconsciously and closed her eyes.
Then, she felt herself falling backwards, but was held tightly, and she lay on the ground without any pain, her whole body pressed down by the hot body just now.
She didn't know why Guo Ling did this, and at that moment, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that he thinks we'll never have the chance to meet again, so he's going crazy one last time?"
Tan Ping closed her eyes tightly, waiting for herself and Guo Ling to be roughly tied up, and then pushed and escorted back to the dark cell. However, after a long while, she found that she did not feel any discomfort. Even the weight of Guo Ling that was originally pressing on her disappeared.
Only then did she open her eyes and discovered to her astonishment that she was still in this underground prison, but her body did not exist! In other words, she was invisible!
She hurriedly searched for Guo Ling, only to discover he had vanished. The entire underground prison was in chaos, and the pursuers, bewildered and bewildered, seemed to have seen a ghost. They chatted loudly, some even calling the surveillance team at the rear to report the situation.
However, none of them noticed that she was right next to them.
"Great, you can finally switch to virtual form!" At this time, a familiar voice came into her "ears".
Tan Ping was surprised and delighted, but she didn't see Guo Ling. So the surprise was eroded by a fear of the unknown.
"Don't worry, we can now communicate without any obstacles. I'm sorry that I was a bit abrupt just now, but if I didn't do that, there would be no other way." Guo Ling's voice came again.
Tan Ping had calmed down and tried to respond: "What on earth did you do to me? What happened just now?"
"Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly. I didn't want to tell you when I was in the dark cell just now, but now I think the time has come..."
