I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 71 Don’t fight yet! There’s a reversal!
[Due to temple maintenance, Puguang Temple on Puguang Mountain will be completely closed from May 5rd to May 23th]

Looking at this announcement, Lin Xing'an and Teacher Juzi fell silent at the same time.

"No, what's wrong with you two? What's the matter?"

Wang Xi, who was driving in front, was scratching his head anxiously.

"See for yourself."

While waiting for the red light ahead, Teacher Orange handed him the phone.

"... Holy crap! Sealing the mountain?! Doesn't this make sense?!"

Wang Xi took a closer look and gasped!
"Sister Orange, before Puguang Temple was closed last time, were they also transporting these kinds of statues to South City?"

“No, but it may be because Puguang Temple already has a lot of these statues stored.”

Teacher Orange took a screenshot of the announcement.

"This date...hiss..."

Lin Xing'an suddenly remembered that he had seen the hallucinatory ghost circle the 24th on its calendar!
"The last time it snowed was on February 28th, and the mountain was closed until March 1st."

"The mountain is closed until the 25th, so 'snow' should be on... the 24th..."

“It really matches…”

He scratched his head in disbelief.

"Orange, no wonder the organization said yesterday that something big might happen soon. The timing is perfect for us to join."

"That's what love is! This is truly a big deal!"

Wang Xi said excitedly!

But Lin Xing'an, who had recovered from his surprise, frowned.

"Sister Orange... why do I feel like this announcement is a little...tsk, it feels...as if it was deliberately meant for us to see..."

"Logically speaking, the gluttonous ghost should also be able to sense what we are investigating."

"Then isn't it obvious that they're going to do something by issuing an announcement?"

"Could it be a trap?"

Lin Xing'an asked with some suspicion.

"It's possible, but even if it's a trap, even if it's extremely dangerous... we have to go."

"Because apart from the Peach Blossom Dream, we haven't found any other clues about Peach Blossom Village over the years."

"And this activity of the Taogui is definitely related to Taoyuan Village. It can even make the snow from Taoyuan Village fall into this world."

"For Taoyuan Village, we must go and take a look."

A rare glimmer of hope appeared in Teacher Orange's eyes.

Lin Xing'an nodded after a long silence.

Indeed, all his current questions, the statue, Taoyuan Village, the coffin, etc.

All the answers seem to be in this event of Taogui.

Moreover, humans are currently at a disadvantage in terms of information.

The more information you want, the greater the risk.

What's more, this information is about Taoyuan Village...

"Sister Orange, can I... still come and kill this hallucinating ghost the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xing'an asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Little brat, I've already told the organization about the villa. Let's wait for their reply for the details."

"But... no matter what they say, I still think it's too dangerous."

"Alas, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."

Teacher Orange looked at Lin Xing'an's childish face and sighed softly.

"Dingle, ring, ring!"

But before Lin Xing'an could say anything, her cell phone suddenly rang with an alarm.

Then Teacher Orange was silent for a few seconds as if the system had crashed.

"...Teacher Orange?"

Lin Xing'an raised his hand and waved it in front of Teacher Orange.

Teacher Orange also came to his senses.

"An An! Aren't you hurt? You fell from such a height!"

She took Lin Xing'an's hand.

I rubbed his head, parted his hair and looked at the blue spot on his forehead.

"Teacher Orange, I'm fine..." "What do you mean by fine? It's so dangerous!"

Teacher Juzi glared at Lin Xing'an and said, "Come here, let me see!"

She took out a few wet wipes and carefully wiped the dust off Lin Xing'an's forehead and eyebrows.

"And you, Wang Xi, what time is it? Why are you here just now? Can you hurry up?"

"Why are you waiting for the traffic light? If there's no one around, just go through. There's no surveillance anyway."

After confirming that Lin Xing'an was not seriously injured, Teacher Juzi breathed a sigh of relief and kicked the chair in front of him.

"Run a red light? Teacher, is that how you teach children? Stop on red and go on green, teacher."

"Tsk, hurry up! Kindergarten finishes school at five o'clock, and An An's mother usually arrives at four fifty."

Teacher Orange glanced at the navigation.

There are still eight kilometers to go. If there is no traffic jam, twenty minutes should be just right.

"It's okay, teacher, don't worry."

After going through so much, Lin Xing'an was not too worried about not being able to get back in time.

He also comforted Teacher Orange.

"Humph, you're such a brat! Do you think it's your turn to say that?"

Teacher Juzi put one hand on her waist and tapped Lin Xing'an's head with the other, "You are the one who makes me worry the most. If..."

"Okay, both of you stop talking and find an excuse. I don't think I can make it back in time."

"Why are there so many cars after entering the city?"

"We're just in time for the evening rush hour."

Wang Xi honked the horn twice.

"Tsk, wouldn't you have arrived earlier if you had run a few more red lights?"

Teacher Orange quickly opened the navigation.

It shows that the road several kilometers ahead is extremely red and severely congested.

"There are at least five more traffic lights at major intersections ahead. Unless all the lights are green, it will take at least half an hour to get there."

"Forget 4:50, it's hard to get back before 5:00."

Wang Xi stuck his head out of the car window and took a look.

There was no end of cars in sight ahead.

"Five o'clock...I can't rely on you. I should have asked Qiao Qiao to come."

Teacher Juzi stared at Wang Xi speechlessly.

"It's okay, An An, don't panic. I'll call your mother and we can find an excuse to delay."

"Just say...um..."

She found Yu Yu's phone number on her phone, but couldn't think of any suitable reason for a moment...

"Hey wait! Don't fight yet! There's a twist!"

"what happened?"

Teacher Orange quickly hung up the phone before it was connected.

“This traffic light…”

Wang Xi pointed forward.

Lin Xing'an and Teacher Juzi also squinted their eyes and looked over.

The green light that should have ended long ago was stuck there.

The long queue of cars in front also noticed this and started to move away little by little.

There is more than one intersection.

On the mobile navigation, all the red lights ahead no longer count down after turning green, and are completely stuck there!
"Beep beep!"

Amid the constant beeping of traffic on the other side, Wang Xi hurried through!

And the next second after they passed, the traffic light flashed and returned to normal.

"Zizi..."

Lin Xing'an raised his head and saw several white surveillance cameras above the traffic lane flashing red lights discreetly.

It's like I was just looking at him...
