Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 540 [The Land of Time Marrow] Man and Soul 10

The tense ten-second countdown ended, and in Lily's expectant and disappointed eyes, the opponent's passage remained empty.

"Hey, you should have less luck like this. It's been a while since you've had a fight, Brian."

"Bubu..."

……

"Ahhh - Swallow! Swallow! Hurry up, we're going to be late for the game!" Gao Qingyu looked at the still congested streets in despair. There were only three minutes left before his game. On the terminal, the official had sent him two messages reminding him to be present for the game.

"Juju!" Ju Shiyan was also helpless. It was because of its huge size, and the road reserved for large souls was blocked for some reason.

After being stuck in traffic for over half an hour, Gao Qingyu finally couldn't help himself and used the shrinking bracelet to collect the swallow and held it in his arms. The over 100-pound body of the ammonite swallow was not too heavy for him. After taking a deep breath, he began to desperately run on the crowded sidewalk...

Finally, with ten seconds left on the countdown, he gasped for breath as he looked at the stadium a few hundred meters away, so close yet forever far away. His heart sank, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry in frustration, "Ahhh, why? I can accept being defeated even once in the race! Why is it because of being late? Damn it, sob..."

You know, his home was only ten minutes away from the venue. He'd anticipated the Soul Cup would be incredibly popular, being held in his own city, Linjiang. So Gao Qingyu had left home half an hour early, figuring he'd arrive even if his speed was slow. He hadn't anticipated the Soul Cup would be so popular!

Linjiang City had never been this congested!!! Never! In his memory, Linjiang City had never been this congested, even when students were leaving school!

"Why is the traffic so congested today! Why are there so many people? Where did they come from?" Just when Gao Qingyu was feeling frustrated, sad and regretful, a female voice, equally frustrated and annoyed, sounded beside her.

"Damn it! Big cities are really different from forests. If we were in Senxi District, we would have arrived long ago! Overtaking is not allowed here! Why?! There are so many roads in the sky!"

“Bad boy!”

“Strange!”

Gao Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people wearing white and blue slim-fitting uniforms complaining, one man and one woman. They were just as breathless as him, and were followed by a bad cat and a black-faced ghost. He subconsciously moved to the side. After all, these two souls were the type that liked to play pranks on people.

He sniffed and wiped the tears and snot from his face, thinking it was unnoticeable. "Are you... also the latecomers to the Soul Cup?"

The two of them hadn't noticed the guy who was inexplicably kneeling on the ground and crying. Shangguan Haoren even wanted to scold this strange, weak, pretty boy who had inexplicably hit on her beautiful self. But when she saw his face, she was stunned for a moment, and her expression instantly changed from impatience to a meaningful one. Her scarlet lips curled up slightly, and she nudged Ximen with her arm, and whispered with her hand sideways, "Look, is it him?"

Ximen hadn't reacted yet, supporting himself on his knees and gasping for breath. It was not until Gao Qingyu wiped away his tears and snot and put on his glasses again that he compared the man with the photo. In an instant, Ximen and Shangguan looked at each other, then lowered their heads and exchanged glances with Bad Cat and Black-Faced Ghost. The tacit understanding between the four of them needed no explanation.

"That..." Gao Qingyu felt a chill on his back. Before he could react, the Bad Cat had already taken advantage of the fact that there were many people around and the disciplinary souls who were maintaining order on the street were not paying attention, and stuffed a new dark ball into Ammonite Swallow's body.

"Juju..." Ju Shiyan felt a little uncomfortable and struggled a little.

"Yes, yes," Shangguan Haoren was responsible for attracting Gao Qingyu's attention. "Are you late? Do you want us to take you there? Although you can't participate in the competition now, at least you can watch the live broadcast. I heard that Stadium No. 1 is very crowded today. I guess there must be some amazing soul master there."
