I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 39 Breakthrough! (Please read!)

"Well!"

Lin Xing'an suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head.

"Zi!"

Teacher Orange, who had just started the car, slammed on the brakes.

"...Little brat, what's wrong with you? You scared me..."

She turned her head and glared at Lin Xing'an.

"...Sister Orange..."

Lin Xing'an stared blankly at Teacher Orange in front of him.

"What? What's with that look? Are you in love with me?"

Teacher Orange pinched Lin Xing'an's cheek and pointed at her own face, "Come on, let me give you a kiss."

The real touch also brought Lin Xing'an back to his senses.

Half past one in the morning.

He checked the time and turned around.

Wang Xi just came back and said that he saw the gluttonous ghost transporting a statue.

Zhang Yunxi and Fang Dajun leaned sideways and chatted with Wang Xi behind them.

Qiao Qiao, who was sitting in the back corner, was carefully looking through the photos in the camera.

"Is something wrong?"

she asked, looking up.

"What's up, bro?"

Wang Xi also looked at him with concern.

"……nothing."

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

This should be the time when the copy ghost opens the ghost domain.

But now the car starts smoothly and the ghost zone does not appear.

Because the replica ghost has disappeared.

As the people who discovered them, the replica ghosts disappeared from their source and disappeared into the void of time.

Looking through the car window at the changes in the surrounding scenery, Lin Xing'an suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

"I did it……"

The fatigue that almost drained all the strength in my body came over me like a tide.

At the same time, a feeling of relief made his clenched fists slowly loosen.

"but……"

After a long pause, Lin Xing'an felt that his thinking ability had returned a little.

And a huge number of questions also flooded into his mind.

"Brother? How could it be..."

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes.

Why did the girl with long red hair appear in the river of time when he entered it for the first time due to a bug?

How did she get in?
Why didn't those timelines reject her at all?

Why does she look so familiar with me and call me brother?

But the most important thing is...

What on earth was she trying so hard to remind me of...

"...Taoyuan Village, hiss..."

The last sound of the water flow was so loud that Lin Xing'an could only vaguely hear the three words "Taoyuan Village".

But thinking back to that girl's expression and the way she kept shaking her head...

"Don't go to Taoyuan Village? There is no Taoyuan Village? Taoyuan Village is not okay? Not Taoyuan Village?"

"or……"

"Don't question Taoyuan Village? Don't be afraid of Taoyuan Village? Don't give up on finding Taoyuan Village?"

Lin Xing'an frowned.

This can be understood in any way...

Could it be that one of my future companions experienced something and used the replay to remind me specifically?
"impossible."

Lin Xing'an immediately rejected this idea.

Because rolling back the game is his unique ability.

Besides, he's only six years old now. Judging from the girl in red, she must be at least seventeen or eighteen, and she still calls him brother...

In other words, even if this girl really has similar time abilities, or can enter the river of time, she will have to go back at least ten years.

This……

How can it be?

Lin Xing'an simply couldn't imagine who had the physical strength to go against the flow of time for ten years!

Even if this can be done, why would I come here to remind him now?

"I am... totally worthless right now..."

"I haven't even dreamed of that Peach Blossom Land dream, and I don't know anything about Peach Blossom Village..."

"Even if there really is something wrong with Taoyuan Village, what's the point of telling me now?"

The more Lin Xing'an thought about it, the more confused he became. Taoyuan Village didn't even exist...

The words of the replica ghost after it fell into nothingness once again entered Lin Xing'an's mind...

Originally, he didn't believe what the last copy ghost said at all.

but now……

"What's going on in Taoyuan Village..."

"But no matter what, there must be a connection between that statue and Taoyuan Village..."

Lin Xing'an thought about it and this was the only thing that seemed to be 100% confirmed.

Judging from the performance of the replica ghost and the actions of this group of gluttonous ghosts, there should be no objection to this.

"Teacher Juzi, do you think these statues transported by the gluttonous ghost are related to Taoyuan Village?"

Lin Xing'an looked at Teacher Juzi who was driving and asked tentatively.

"possible."

Teacher Orange nodded.

"..."

Such a straightforward answer left Lin Xing'an at a loss for words.

"...Teacher Orange, is it possible that these statues can point to the specific location of Taoyuan Village?"

"Can you tell me the exact location of Taoyuan Village?"

Teacher Juzi turned her head and glanced at Lin Xing'an.

"The organization seems to be making some progress in Taoyuan Village. Taogui's recent actions seem to confirm this."

"But little brat, before you dream of Taoyuan Village, it's meaningless to say anything about Taoyuan Village."

"Because you don't even have the concept of Taoyuan Village in your mind, and you even doubt whether Taoyuan Village exists?"

She said calmly.

"Well, indeed..."

Lin Xing'an also nodded.

"Little brother, don't worry, Taoyuan Village definitely exists."

"You will have that dream sooner or later. You will definitely not miss it."

Fang Dajun in the back row saw that Lin Xing'an looked a little lost, and comforted him with a smile.

"Well, but how can a dream prove that Taoyuan Village really exists..."

"Forget it... I'll tell you when I dream..."

Lin Xing'an shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he buried all the questions about Taoyuan Village in his heart.

His most important and urgent goal now is to eliminate the mark in his body!

"and many more……"

Lin Xing'an was suddenly stunned.

He suddenly noticed that he could clearly feel the dark flow in his body.

It's not just the gloom, there's also the mark left in his body by Yu Yu.

The darkness in his body almost covered three-quarters of the mark!
"This is the shadow of that subordinate of the copy ghost Ding..."

"I……"

Lin Xing'an seemed to realize something, blinked and looked out the window.

Dust wrapped in bean-sized raindrops, insects and ants struggling in the water on the ground...

Lin Xing'an actually saw it all clearly!
He was even just taking a normal glance!

If you look closely...

Lin Xing'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

A trace of gloom passed through his eyes like a trickle.

The falling raindrops outside seemed to slow down a bit.

Lin Xing'an pursed his lips. The more he looked at him, the more he felt like "I can dodge the raindrops"!

In addition, he could clearly feel that his physical strength limit had been qualitatively improved.

If his physical strength was just a cup of water before, it would not be an exaggeration to say it is a basin of water now.

"Thumping!"

"Thumping!"

As his heart beat, Lin Xing'an's physical strength continued to recover like wave after wave of the tide!

The speed is nearly twice as fast as before!
"Is this... a breakthrough?"

"Breakthrough to Wu?"

Lin Xing'an felt a little surprised as he felt the darkness constantly flowing in his body.

But...is this a breakthrough in my ability or a breakthrough in myself...

"Sister Orange, does the breakthrough of ability also rely on darkness?"

"For example, if I kill a ghost and absorb a bit of darkness, how can I tell whether this darkness has increased my own level or my ability level?"

Lin Xing'an asked with some confusion.
