What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

“There is no danger at all,” An Chen said, turning to Jiu Ge.

It can be completely understood as a commemorative edition figurine.

Jiuge remained silent, only nodding.

The group carefully lifted the body onto the cart, and An Chen and Jiu Ge followed the others back.

"So this means it's already started?" Jiuge was a little stunned.

"Yes, you should be careful too." An Chen turned to look at Jiu Ge, his expression somewhat worried.

The things inside the illusion should still have some offensive power.

"Yes, I will protect you."

An Chen fell silent.

"Luckily, I disguised myself this time." Jiuge sighed, feeling somewhat wistful.

War is cruel.

Witnessing it firsthand would be an even greater shock.

As soon as they returned to the Zhang family home, they quickly took advantage of the family's inattention to recall the illusionary clones.

Grandpa Zhang wasn't home, and An Chen and Jiu Ge didn't tell Grandma Li or the two children about these things.

For the entire morning and half the afternoon, their hallucinations were all inside the house.

……

About three hours later, the Taiwanese people who had rushed out with weapons returned.

The roars outside were deafening.

Returning with the Taiwanese people was another person who was bound hand and foot, dressed in a foreign military uniform and wearing a tall hat, whose face was obscured.

The face of this "person" is blurry, somewhat like a suspect in a crime documentary whose face is blurred out.

This thing is not a spirit.

Perhaps because he wasn't one of those who died during that period, the illusion didn't capture his spirit.

The Taiwanese man threw the bayonet, still stained with Xiao Liu's blood, forcefully onto the ground.

"It was this little beast who did it!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and each of them looked as if they wanted to dissect the prisoners on the spot.

The prisoners were thrown to the ground, where they coughed up blood that looked like it had been pixelated.

The two children huddled behind Jiu Ge, trembling, while An Chen also shielded the frail Grandma Li behind him.

"Don't worry, Village Chief Zhang is back!"

Someone shouted.

The surrounding noise was getting louder and louder.

"Village Chief Zhang, you must stand up for Xiao Liu!"

"What are we going to do without Xiao Liu...?"

Xiao Liu's family members cried their hearts out.

"Quiet." Old Master Zhang's voice was powerful and commanding.

The crowd parted to make way for the old man, who walked over with a gloomy face.

"Grandpa..." Little Dog Egg cried out in fear.

He hadn't seen his grandfather with that expression in a long time.

The old man ignored Little Dog Egg.

He glared angrily at the prisoner before him and asked, "Where are your other companions?"

If there is intelligence about the enemy, it must be communicated to them immediately.

"It's in the chicken bone pocket, Wobibi alabik." The prisoner opened his mouth and mumbled a string of words that no one could understand.

"He doesn't speak Mandarin?"

"What should I do?"

"Little Liu is dead?"

"We don't understand it either."

Should we tie him up in the bay to notify the other side, or just kill him and bury him alive?

"What do we do now? Is it still safe here?"

A few young men nearby were whispering among themselves.

"Aquila is because of Dongli Lake, what a good journey, I thought it was home." The prisoner looked disdainful, still spouting nonsense.

"Baka yarou!" The old man kicked the prisoner and then cursed him in the only swear word he knew in the other side's language.

The prisoner was stunned.

"Lock him up down there," the old man commanded.

"Yes."

……

The atmosphere in the entire Gouzi Bay became very heavy.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that enemy troops might charge at any moment.

This time, the Zhang family, including Jiu Ge and An Chen's illusions, all ate dinner with great reluctance.

"You two should try to go out as little as possible these days." The old man sighed, giving An Chen and Jiu Ge an apologetic look.

“Things aren’t peaceful here either.” He stroked the broken bowl, his expression grave.

"We understand." Illusionary An Chen raised his head slightly, then focused on eating the wild vegetables again.

"Mmm." Illusionary Nine Songs glanced at An Chen and then lowered her head as well.

"Little Dog Egg and Little Twist, you two are not allowed to go out from now on."

Grandma Li held the glowing stone in her hands, her expression growing increasingly strange, and she even stopped eating.

"Okay." Little Twist nodded obediently.

"Huh?" Little Egg still didn't seem to understand the situation.

"Listen to me!" Grandma Li shouted.

"The illusion is dangerous, it's getting more and more dangerous!" Her voice grew louder and louder.

The stone gleamed brightly in her pocket.

The whole room was brightly lit.

Jiuge's expression changed.

She increasingly felt that the stone possessed amazing energy and a strong tendency to exclude outsiders.

An Chen still didn't look up.

There's no need to think about anything else, just go and grab the stone, judging from its energy.

If they forcibly take it, even a character like Jiuge would be seriously injured, and he himself might suffer a severe backlash.

"What are you saying, Grandma? It's starting again?" Little Twist put down the broken bowl and looked at her grandmother with concern.

"Go wash up and rest, you might have been frightened," the old man said gently, noticing that Grandma Li was not in a good mood.

He rubbed his aching back and helped Grandma Li up to walk outside.

Little Twist and Little Dog Egg started clearing the dishes.

Illusionary An Chen and Illusionary Jiu Ge exchanged a glance.

After exchanging glances, the two made an excuse and slipped out.

Chapter 91 The War a Hundred Years Ago

For the next two days, the atmosphere in Gouzi Bay remained somber.

Everyone was on edge, and the slightest sound would make them suspicious.

Xiao Liu's body has been buried, but the wicked ghost's shadow still floats over the grave.

Yu Bei and Feng Kai lived nearby, keeping a close watch on the phantom.

Gong Jun, who is dedicated to comforting small animals, can be found in the fields anytime, anywhere.

After discussing it, An Chen and Jiu Ge arranged a time to meet them at the wellhead on the day the fat woman had her accident, to exchange information and erase the memories of the local villagers about them from the past few days.

Because of the strange mental state of the Taiwanese people, the five people who entered the illusion this time, including An Chen and Jiu Ge, were almost mistaken for suspicious enemy figures.

Although the people of Taiwan are still trying to maintain their normal lives, they know that everything they have now is just a bubble that could burst at any time due to war.

Grandma Li still longs for her son and daughter-in-law to come back day and night, while Grandpa Li exercises excessively every day, as if he is about to go to the battlefield.

For three days in a row, Jiuge still slept with her arms around An Chen's.

It's unclear whether An Chen is truly asleep or just pretending, but whenever Jiu Ge prepares to sleep, An Chen instantly falls asleep.

Furthermore, his sleeping posture is perfectly square, like a block of tofu, with a slight curve between his arms and body, making it very convenient for Jiuge to hug him.

……

Soon, the day the obese woman had predicted—the day of the bombing—arrived.

Having roughly calculated the time, An Chen led Jiu Ge to the well.

Before leaving, Jiuge glanced at the Zhang family with a touch of melancholy.

When they arrived at the well, Gong Jun, Yu Bei, and Feng Kai were already waiting by the wellhead.

Upon seeing An Chen and Jiu Ge holding hands, the pupils of the other two, except for Feng Kai, visibly dilated.
