Double world undercurrent

Chapter 41 Chapter 41
Gu Xiaoxing did not tell Jasmine the vision in the mirror, lest the latter be frightened.What happened to Leng Xin in the mirror, is it a hallucination or some unknown existence?She doesn't know.If it is said that she looks like Leng Xin in the mirror, why doesn't she move in the mirror?

Confused, she sorted it out, estimated that Jasmine's house was about eight kilometers away from the company, and wanted to try to use the newly awakened spiritual power to phantom to the company building.

She mobilized her spiritual power to cast spells, but for some reason, no matter how hard she tried, this phantom skill was like an unstable voltage, fluctuating repeatedly in her body, but it couldn't reach the point of displaying it!

what happened? !Is the distance of eight kilometers too far for me?Could it be that she overestimated her awakened spiritual power?But, it feels like it should be more than that...

Disturbing questions followed one after another, so Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to take the transportation in the real world and rush to the company...

At this moment, in another world—the Black Sea of ​​another world, in the middle of a silent island ten miles away from the Magic Palace in the Sky, the crystal clear, [-]-meter-high stele body of the Monument of Divine Power is deepening with several cracks in the base. The shaking became more and more intense, and the towering stele was crumbling.The dark red miasma overflowed from the crack into the virtual image space, spreading everywhere.

Mingshuo controls the handed down seal from the air, and uses his divine spirit, which is the devil king, to shine continuously into the stele seat in a diffuse shape through the jade wings on the top of it and into his mouth.

Slowly, the dark red miasma was sucked back into the crack one by one.But the vibration of the stele is still very strong, and the cracks will widen at any time.

He adjusted the output to the maximum, and the sudden increase in power made the Chuanshixi start to tremble. At the same time, the familiar dull pain spread into his chest, and he endured it.

The cracks in the pedestal gradually healed like wounds, and the body of the stele gradually stabilized.

But the dull pain in Mingshuo's chest became more and more intense. Suddenly, it seemed that a brute force tore open a stream of fishy heat and squeezed into his throat, overflowing the corner of his mouth into a bright red.

His brows were tightly frowned, drenched in cold sweat, and blue veins were visible on the bloodless Leng Jun's face, but he endured the severe pain in his chest, without interrupting the output of divine essence, and consolidated the seal with all his might, ignoring the faint voice coming from inside the seal Laughed coldly.

Finally, the monument of divine power returned to a stable state.

But this time, whether it was because Leng Yi swallowed a large number of mortal souls, or because the handed down seal hadn't been brought into full play, his divine essence had been damaged by nearly [-]%, but the seal could only be strengthened to [-]%.

The sharp pain in the chest ripped apart, Mingshuo wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched his trembling fists tightly, and despite the cold sweat on his forehead, he insisted on straightening his back, indifferent and calm, without showing any sign of unbearable pain.

An arrogant voice came from inside the seal, which made him angry:

"Why don't you let her come? Mingshuo? Every time I see you suppress me in such a self-destructive way, I just want to laugh..."

Ming Shuo ignored it, turned around and left.

"...my stupid sister... gave everything away...I'm starting to miss her again..."

Leng Yi provoked dangerously:
"...if I went to see her now, how would she react?"

The pain in Mingshuo's chest exploded with anger, and Leng Yi could always catch the point that angered him.

"...Do you want to be expelled by her again?"

A cold light flashed across his eyes, with contempt on one side of his mouth, he stood with his back to the monument of divine power and said.

"How to expel it? Do you rely on the bracelet you gave her? Oh... Speaking of bracelets... You remind me..."

Leng Yi chuckled darkly:
"...The day you got engaged..."

Ming Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and listened to him in silence:
"...Do you know why I chose to send someone to assassinate the eldest prince on that day?"

"……why?"

asked almost without moving his lips.

"...Isn't it just to... disturb your marriage with Xin'er..."

Leng Yi's piercing laughter rang in his ears.

At that time, the Eldest Prince Lengxuan was already the heir apparent, and also Xin'er's elder brother. According to the customs of the Mozu, the Eldest Prince died, and Xin'er would mourn for him for six years. Geely, the engagement should be cancelled.

But the old devil king was determined to restrain Mingshuo and his father through marriage, so the marriage contract was not cancelled, but postponed until after the mourning...

"...However, if Leng Xuan hadn't been so anxious to get rid of me at that time, maybe I would have saved him until the day before your wedding, and then killed him..."

After Leng Yi calmed down for a while, he added indifferently.

Ming Shuo's bloodless face was flushed red due to the surging anger.Back then, he didn't support his father's treason at all, and sincerely wanted to marry Xin'er. The original plan was to get married half a year later, after the end of the filial piety period when Xin'er was a mother and concubine. Who would have expected...

He dug his clenched nails into his palms, took a deep breath slowly, resisted the sharp pain of anger churning in his chest, held his breath with difficulty, and said in a muffled voice:

"Leng Yi...Xin'er has a brother like you...it's a great misfortune..."

A voice as cold as falling into an abyss came from the seal, with tingling pain:

"...Perhaps...but back then, didn't I do that in line with your intention of rebellion? The king only knows about marriage...using my stupid sister as a pawn...Are you worthy to marry her? Mingshuo?"

"...Have you said enough?"

Ming Shuo was on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, a few faint blue light spots condensed into messenger cranes, and news about the mirror barrier came.The moment he received the news, his eyes flickered sharply, and he heard the cold smile in the monument of divine power behind him.

Wrapped in murderous anger, there were bursts of sharp pain in the chest, and Ming Shuo's voice trembled faintly:

"...Do you only use such despicable methods?"

"...This is a surprise for you, do you like it, Mingshuo?"

"...you'd better hope she's safe and sound!"

If it weren't for the seal, Ming Shuo would definitely turn this place into a purgatory that was a hundred times harsher, tormenting Leng Yi.

The stern figure outside the seal restrained rationally, not letting himself be overwhelmed by anger and indulge in it, he swept up the dark wind and disappeared.

"Worry about yourself, Ming Shuo..."

Inside the seal, Leng Yi murmured.

Endless long silence and darkness fill this place...

The foreign world and the real world are like two funnels, connected by an invisible but objective balance point in the middle, forming a huge sand clock.Turning around, time flowed back into the closed city of the present world twenty minutes ago...

"Hey... I'm busy again this weekend..."

In the company building, after the supervisor's prematurely fat Feng Rao's back disappeared outside the department, his colleague He Zhiwei stretched his waist and complained helplessly:

"Every time I'm told to work overtime, it's not good..."

"Yeah, who would have thought that last night's...'Typhoon and Riot' would attract so many complaints, and there are three plans piled up..."

Gu Xiaoxing in front of the computer murmured in agreement.

"That's right, Lin Hao said that he went out with his colleagues in the field post at noon..."

He Zhiwei pulled out the USB flash drive full of data, rubbed his slender eyes under slightly curly bangs, got up and turned to look at Gu Xiaoxing, then looked around the office where there was no one else but the two of them, and asked her:
"Are you still planning to leave?"

"...You go first, I still have a while..."

The light from the screen reflected on her fair face.

"Four security guards died in this building last night. I heard that they all died a little...Aren't you afraid?"

After a pause, she stared at the computer and slowly shook her head to answer:

"……not afraid."

After He Zhiwei expressed his admiration, he walked out of the office silently.

Gu Xiaoxing guessed that after he left this floor, he pulled out the USB flash drive and turned off the computer.

She couldn't wait to try her newly awakened skills, and wanted to know if she felt something was wrong, or if something suppressed her spiritual power again, making the newly awakened skills unable to use.

Everything was quiet.

Let's try to become Duoxi Youhua first, she thought.

So, facing the white desk, she made a mudra with her hands as she remembered, and quickly sketched the appearance of Xi Youhua in her mind.

With a sudden heat on the fingertips, a complete dark purple Xiyou flower suddenly appeared on the table, exuding a faint fragrance.

She let out a long breath and couldn't help showing a long-lost smile on her face.

It seems that it is not because the spiritual power has been suppressed again.

Let's try the phantom skill again, just phantom from the office door to the elevator room, the distance is only a few tens of meters, it should work, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing got up, tidied up the desk, went to the office door and locked the door.Then she looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she was slim and began to focus on mobilizing her spiritual power to cast spells, thinking about the appearance of the elevator room in her mind, and trying to phantom there.

The unstable electric current fluctuates in the body again, ups and downs, but it can't reach the point of displaying it!

No way!Is it not enough for such a short distance? !This is just a very common skill!

Gu Xiaoxing feels that her newly awakened spiritual power should be far more than this level, and the phantom and cross-dressing in her memory are just routine skills, and it should be as easy as eating and wielding chopsticks.

There must be something wrong!

Not reconciled, she frowned, mobilized her spiritual energy again, and tried to phantom to the elevator.

It was another wave of powerless waves, just like gentle ocean waves rolling up and down, but not violent enough.She started to worry, held her breath, used all her strength to concentrate on casting spells, and insisted on mobilizing her spiritual power...

It went on like this for about ten seconds...

Finally, she felt her body flickering in front of her eyes, and in a moment shorter than the blink of an eye, she heard the sound of the wind, and her feet felt empty and solid, and then the two elevator doors suddenly came into view, accompanied by a slightly unbalanced body swaying.

Finally, she succeeded in phantom, and it took a lot of effort!

Does this newly awakened spiritual power have to be used according to one's own state?

Gu Xiaoxing pressed the down button of the elevator, while standing at the door of the elevator, wondering.

My spirit has recovered, and Leng Yi's mana suppression has temporarily stabilized, so why can't I use the newly awakened skills with ease like before?
She fell into deep thought...

"Ding……"

The elevator door opened, Gu Xiaoxing walked in with a worried brow, raised her head, and bumped into the person inside, suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes, a look of surprise appeared between her brows, and the corners of her lips twitched into a harmonious smile:

"Hey, what a coincidence! How did I meet you here?"

"Maybe it's because of...fate, Gu Xiaoxing."

The person in the elevator was dressed formally, as if he had just had a business negotiation, with a sense of serious alienation, but even with such a dress, it was difficult to hide the familiar gentleness in his sunny and handsome face, and the starry eyes.

"Is there a company you work with upstairs, Jiang Feng?"

"We're still talking..."

Jiang Feng smiled faintly.

"Oh……"

Gu Xiaoxing walked to the empty space behind him and stood there, turned around to face the elevator door, seeing the elevator door slowly closing...

In the dim light, Jiang Feng, who was also staring at the closing of the elevator door, gradually drew a cold arc from the corner of his mouth, his bright eyes dimmed, and his clean face was shrouded in mist, quietly gloomy...
