Blind date in time and space.

Chapter 239 Xia Shumin's Strange Dream

The next day, Chen Ji woke up in the tent, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the little lady. She was sleeping soundly, with a healthy blush on her delicate face, and she was curled up in the blanket very close to Zhou Wan.

Zhou Wan, who was very cold during the day, buried her face in the quilt when sleeping, like an ostrich, her long black hair was messy, and her smooth forehead could be vaguely seen.

To be honest, at this moment Chen Ji wanted to hold them all in his arms.

Let's have the most authentic left hug and right hug.

Because of these two beauties in the tent, the fragrance in the air is very pleasant.

Faint human voices came from outside. It should be that those Jianghu people got up. They went to explore the center of the North Pole every day. From their mouths yesterday, Chen Ji knew that the Arctic Continent had indeed changed a lot recently.

Some of them slept in the igloo at night, only to wake up the next day to find themselves halfway up the mountain—the mountain grew out overnight.

Chen Ji once suspected that it was related to the northern snow-capped mountains of Shenen Continent, but there was no other evidence, so he had to give up and wait for them to continue exploring.

"Well."

Zhou Wanyou woke up, turned her head and saw Chen Ji staring at her.

A sense of warmth followed, making her feel wrapped in happiness all over her body, and she didn't want to talk or get up.

"Are you awake?" Chen Jichao smiled.

"Well... what time is it?"

Zhou Wan huddled in the quilt. Last night, Chen Ji cleaned the quilt with his immortal power, and it was very clean.

"It's past eight, how did you sleep last night?"

"It's pretty solid~ I don't have to worry about beasts when you're here... Do you have breakfast this morning?"

Zhou Wan smiled sweetly at him.

After spending the night in such a cold place, she suddenly thought of the basement of her own home. In the dreams given to her by Da Zhouwan, she spent many times in the cold basement.

Now she has a sense of reliving, but Chen Ji is by her side again, making her cherish her eyes even more after the comparison.

"Yes! Wait, I'll go out and see if Lu Huai has a cooked breakfast. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Earth and buy it."

Xia Shumin was his anchor point for crossing, allowing him to come back quickly.

"Forget it, don't go back, just eat something."

"I'll go take a look first!"

After getting up and getting dressed, Chen Ji went out of the tent, outside the prince's guards were drinking porridge and eating meat with steaming bowls, the rice was the supplies he brought yesterday.

When Chen Ji returned to the tent with three bowls of meat porridge and some pickles, the little lady also woke up, with messy hair, flushed and tender face, sitting on the quilt in a daze, not awake for a while.

After the lady Haitang fell asleep in spring, Chen Ji took a few more glances at her youthful and slightly charming appearance.

"Son..."

Xia Shumin hugged the quilt, blushed, and put on her clothes with her back to Chen Ji.

Zhou Wan suddenly realized that when Xia Shumin grew up and got taller, her graceful and quiet demeanor would be even more attractive.

"Let's have breakfast first!"

Chen Ji looked away and greeted them.

Xia Shumin knelt and sat on the blanket obediently. The north is called Kang, and this is her second time living there.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together.

After Chen Ji greeted Lu Huai, he flew up with them, and soon came to a rather stable space rift, and the three of them entered it together.

Zhou Wan traveled through the world through a space rift for the first time.

She held Chen Ji's hand tightly, and after a slight dizziness, she came to a very cold place where she couldn't see her fingers.

"Son..."

Xia Shumin made a trembling voice, her petite body leaned tightly beside Chen Ji, she couldn't see anything, so she was very attached to him.

"It's okay, it's normal, don't be afraid."

Chen Ji comforted her, and as soon as he thought about it, a ball of light came out from his body, illuminating the surroundings.

Zhou Wan immediately determined the location here:

A doomsday base located thousands of meters underground, and a research center in the center of the city.

The reason why she was so sure was because she saw the withered World Tree, she was here with Chen Ji last time.

"……what!"

It was Xia Shumin who exclaimed.

It was the first time she saw withered trees in this world, coupled with the darkness around her, the trees with criss-cross branches gave people a strong sense of fear.

"Don't be afraid!"

Chen Ji comforted her again and said, "This tree is the World Tree I told you about, do you still remember?"

"World Tree? Elf...?"

Xia Shumin remembered.

She let go of the hand that was holding the Young Master's arm, and instead pulled the hem of his clothes, she walked under the World Tree with him.

"Young master, has it withered?"

Xia Shumin asked curiously.

She has come here twice, and this tree is the only one she has ever seen, so it is especially precious.

Before Chen Ji could answer, after Xia Shumin said it, the branches in front of the three of them suddenly trembled slightly, as if a gust of wind had blown by and the branches made a rustling sound.

Xia Shumin took a step back in fright, and Zhou Wan also became nervous.

This place is located underground, so there is little air flow, and the research center has walls on all sides, so there should be no wind!
"strangeness……"

Chen Ji threw a ball of light onto the withered world tree, but there was no response, and then threw a little celestial power over it, but there was still no movement.

The tree probably did wither.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan looked at the little lady together.

"Young Master, Sister Wan..."

Xia Shumin realized her problem, looked at the tree in front of her, and tried to say a few words to revive her.

Unfortunately, apart from the very first sentence, there was no movement.

"A dead world."

Zhou Wan said regretfully, "Or, it never lived?"

This world is very small, only as big as Haicheng. It is a duplicate version of Haicheng in the doomsday world. It is located in the space gap, and animals and plants cannot survive. Only some monsters from other worlds can survive.

"The dead world?"

Xia Shumin blinked, looked at Zhou Wan and said, "Sister Wan, Shumin thinks that this place has just been born, as if before Pangu created the world, he was waiting for the day when the young master will hold an ax in his hand to split the chaos and the flood, to distinguish the clear from the turbid, and then... ah , No, the young master is not Pangu!"

Xia Shumin quickly covered her mouth.

She didn't want the young master to be like this after Pangu created the world and transformed into everything.

Chen Ji couldn't help but laugh.

"Just born?" Zhou Wan said, "Will this place evolve into an independent world?"

No one can answer her, and in the face of problems involving the world, she can only rely on guesswork.

The three left here, and Chen Ji asked Da Zhou Wan to send another car.

This time he went to the ancient world with Xiao Zhou Wan, and there was no change in her. She still came to the earth from the doomsday world. Yesterday, Da Zhou Wan returned to live in the villa, and Xiao Zhou Wan exchanged dreams with her again.

Chen Ji drove out of the doomsday base through the train tunnel, still thinking about the guesses of the two of them in his mind:
Is this world just born, or is it already dead?Does it have what a world should have?

In other words, how should a world be defined?

There are many strong people in the Nine Realms who can open up small spaces outside the starry sky, but they cannot completely break away from the Nine Realms, and they certainly cannot be regarded as a world.

His four blind dates, each world has its own characteristics, it must be considered a world.

What about this place where the four worlds meet?
"Where are we going? To the villa first, or to that building?"

Zhou Wan, who was sitting in the back row with Xia Shumin, asked Chen Ji.

After the car left the doomsday base, there was not much change in the city. There was still the dim light created by Xia Shumin in the sky, and the starry sky garden that appeared after the arrival of the star goddess Astana was also very dim.

This time, Zhou Wan and Xia Shumin came at the same time, but it didn't seem to cause any changes.

"Go to the villa first."

Driving all the way, they soon came to Zhou Wan's villa complex.

With the wood that Lu Huai sent from time to time, the place became more lively, and the fire could be seen from a distance.

After the three of Chen Ji appeared, although everyone was happy, they were not too surprised.

Xia Shumin saluted her teacher, and said hello to her mother-in-law. After eating some barbecue, she looked at the young master, as if asking what to do next.

"Oh, brother Chen, I'm really sorry."

Liu Sangu sighed and said, "We've been monitoring that building these days, but we haven't seen the man in black reappear, and nothing else has changed..."

Everything seems to have reached a dead end.

Qianyuan Demon Ancestor from the Nine Regions, and Ke Limu from Shenen Continent all looked at Chen Ji.

Only he can lead them out of this cage-like place!

"A man in black?"

Chen Ji pondered.

According to Astana, the person who owns this cloak of tranquility happens to be a bishop of the Church of Illuminati. He disappeared when he led a team out of the original city to rescue the survivors outside, and there is no news so far.

But with the personality of this bishop, he would not run away when he saw Chen Ji.

Was the bishop contaminated, or was it someone else?

"Lord Lord!"

Kelim hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Not long ago, I found someone's footprints outside the villa. I compared them with everyone else, but none of them matched that footprint."

"Oh?"

Chen Ji looked at her unexpectedly.

Kerim is a centaur with strong running ability, and her hunting skills on the grasslands are also very high. In response, her ability to track prey is also very good.

"However." Ke Lim said embarrassingly again: "This is not the Continent of God's Grace. It cannot be determined by magic. It can only be deduced from the position of the man's footprints. He was watching here at that time."

"Did you tell them?" Chen Ji pointed to Liu Sangu and them.

Ke Lim shook her head, saying that she had difficulty communicating with them, and the footprints were not known how long ago, they might have been left by someone from before, and she planned to track them down by herself, and tell them when there was news.

Chen Ji hummed, and told the group of Jianghu people about it.

"footprint?!"

"Hiss, it's the man in black who came to spy on us!?"

"Damn guy, actually touched outside our camp!"

Everyone was shocked, the wine in the bowl was no longer fragrant, and it felt very uncomfortable to be spied on.

Chen Ji said: "It's not sure yet, please keep quiet, I plan to stay here for two days and see if I get anything!"

He looked at Xia Shumin and Zhou Wan.

The two knew what he meant, and said together that they would stay and were not in a hurry to go back.

Chen Ji did not refuse their company, and staying for two or three days would not be too uncomfortable.

After eating something, he took the two of them and drove to the building to have a look.

Some people followed, most of them stayed in the villa complex and waited.

"Young Master, since you are going to arrest people, will the headlights be too conspicuous?"

Xia Shumin looked at the headlights of the car. They were so bright that they could be seen from miles away.

Zhou Wan smiled and said: "He probably wants to come to Mingxiu plank road to secretly hide Chencang, first go there openly, and then let people drive the car back, and we will stay where we are."

"...how do you understand me so well?" Chen Ji couldn't admit it or not.

"Humph."

Zhou Wan was very proud.

Xia Shumin blushed a little, why didn't she guess the young master's intention?
A group of people came to the block where the building was located, and the headlights shone on the building from a distance. The broken windows on the floor were pitch black, and they could vaguely see——

"what!!"

Xia Shumin who was sitting in the back row screamed, startled Chen Ji who was driving, and quickly asked her: "What's wrong with Shumin?"

Zhou Wan looked around, the time ability was always ready.

But there are no monsters around.

"..."

Xia Shumin fixedly looked forward from the window of the car, and after a long while, she rubbed her eyes, and after looking again, "I, I seem to be wrong."

"What did you see? Don't be afraid, it's okay if you see it wrong."

"Hmm... That's right, there seemed to be many figures appearing in that building, in, in—"

"Don't be afraid, Shumin."

Zhou Wan held her palm and encouraged her to continue.

Xia Shumin made up her mind and said boldly, "I'm surrounded by a grave that was dug up, and a coffin was exposed inside the grave, which is very similar to a dream I had before!"

Zhou Wan, who originally encouraged her, now felt goosebumps and was a little frightened. If it wasn't for Chen Ji being in the front row, she would definitely be even more scared now.

Figures appeared in the building, and surrounded the grave and the coffin... Just hearing this ghost story will infiltrate people!

"Dream?"

Chen Ji stopped the car and parked it 300 meters away from the building.

Xia Shumin’s dream is different from Zhou Wan’s dream. Her dream seems to be unreasonable. She said before that when she continued to write Dream of the Red Chamber, she would often dream. In the dream, she saw the development of the plot. , the plot is written quickly.

But now, she suddenly hallucinated in this building?
"Shumin, tell me about your dream in detail."

Chen Ji said, rolling down the car window to let Liu Sangu and the others wait a while.

"Yeah." Xia Shumin didn't ask any further questions, and recalled: "I only had this dream once, but I clearly remember that a deserted tomb stood on the black ground, and the sky was also pitch-black. It was very desolate. The deserted tomb His tombstone was broken, and the grave was dug up, and the bones inside disappeared... In the dream, I was terrified, but luckily the young master is still there."

She blushed, glanced at the building, and continued: "I also used this as a lesson to write about the fairyland and the underworld...fortunately nothing happened~."

Under the lights inside the car, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan looked at each other.

"Any other dreams?"

Chen Ji asked the little lady again.

"Well, I don't remember the other dreams... The only thing I remember clearly is that someone asked me something. I don't remember the answer. I just remember that I read him a poem I wrote. He deeply He sighed deeply and said he was going to sleep."

"poetry?"

Chen Ji is no stranger to poetry. He likes ancient poems very much. He was deeply impressed by the hymns of Shenen Continent. According to Astana, the evil god came because of a poem.

It can't be so outrageous.

"Desolate graves, tombstones... Hell?"

Chen Ji got out of the car, Xia Shumin and Zhou Wan followed him, Liu Sangu and others followed closely behind, and the group entered the building.

Just as he got closer, a gust of cool air rushed towards his face, making Xia Shumin shiver, and his petite body subconsciously moved closer to the young master.

Chen Ji gave her a small ball of light to warm her body.

"Son."

Xia Shumin shouted in a low voice, her eyes shone with shame, but she didn't speak, and followed closely behind him.

A group of people went up to the floor where the restaurant was located, went downstairs shortly after, and drove away.

Less than 5 minutes.

A figure in black clothes slowly walked out of the sudden fog. As soon as he appeared, he cursed: "Damn it, Chen Ji is so damn hot! He brought Zhou Wan with him!!"

He walked out of the restaurant, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The surrounding silence reveals a strangeness.

"Are you scolding me?"

Along with the light, a man's voice came from outside the window.

The man in black looked up, and a large mass of warm light poured in from the window. His complexion changed suddenly, his body twisted, trying to turn around and run back, to escape to the weakest place in the space.

However, his movements suddenly became extremely slow.

And another girl shouted with a clear voice: "Sneaky guy, show up!"

"you!"

The expression of the man in black was extremely exciting. The three of them attacked together, forcing him to throw out a sword he got from somewhere in his hand. With a bang, it smashed through the blockage of the time ability and shattered the surrounding light, but his body A small fragment inside was drawn by some force and flew out of his body.

"not coming back!"

The man in black turned around and wanted to grab the fragments, but it was too late. The three of Chen Ji had already flown in from the window, and the next move came soon.

He hates it, he got a lot of benefits in that place, but he still couldn't beat them!

"Wait for me!!"

After dropping a sentence, he turned around and fled into the mist, leaving this small world, and the mist also disappeared.

Chen Ji asked Ma Yien to search for traces of the remaining space, but unfortunately found nothing. She didn't know this ability at all, and she relied on instinct to travel.

Zhou Wan tried to use the time ability to reappear, but only the afterimage of the man in black appeared in the air, and he couldn't catch him.

but.

The identity of the man in black has been revealed.

Chen Ji found the sword he threw out and a fragment that flew out of his body.

This is the shard of destiny.
