You are my wife, don't doubt it!

This phenomenon surprised all three of them.

Xiao Yao thought that Xiao Xiong had awakened some ability, Xiao Xiong believed that it was because Yu Luying was concerned about Xiao Yao, but Yu Luying suspected that the actions of several people had triggered some promotion rules of the hall.

After a brainstorming analysis and elimination, the three finally found the crux of the strange phenomenon - it was the yellow gem on Xiao Yao's hilt.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Xiao Yao said.

He recalled the battle with "Earl of Nottingham" in Song Haijian's hall, where the opponent could also suddenly appear out of thin air.

I originally thought it was the mental fortress ability of Earl Nottingham, but now it seems to be the effect of this yellow gemstone.

What he got was just a few fragments, while the gem in Earl Nottingham's hand was complete and naturally more powerful.

After repeated experiments, it was concluded that this piece of gemstone could trace itself and the people and things around it back a period of time, returning them to their previous positions and states.

The way to start it is to rub it, and the length of friction time is positively correlated with the interval of backtracking start.

To put it simply, you rub it before you go out with the express delivery. After rubbing it long enough, you can return to the city at the same place after picking up the express delivery.

However, the timing of this effect is vague and does not strictly correspond to the number of frictions. Moreover, it is forced to activate when the time is right. Come to think of it, it is not a particularly useful thing.

However, Little Bear firmly believes that this thing will have great potential.

The test of the topaz took quite some time, and after they had almost figured it out, the three of them rushed to the entrance of the building, passed the entry test, and tried to take two more tests. The cram school that Xiao Xiong had been attending recently seemed to be very effective, and Yu Luying was even more adept at it.

Finally, Yu Luying activated the return call at the elevator door, while Xiao Yao and Xiao Xiong went to the stairwell together to activate the return call. The three of them successfully returned to the same dressing room in the clothing store.

Walking out of the locker room again amid the stunned gaze of the store clerk, Xiao Yao was clearly convinced that he must find a safe entrance and exit. He could not come to this place for the third time.

Back on the street, Xiao Xiong said he wanted to take a taxi home. Xiao Yao generously took out money to reimburse him, and then planned to walk around the neighborhood again, so Yu Luying had no choice but to agree to walk together.

"Xiao Yao, did you say that the building in the palace is 1000 meters high?" After Xiao Xiong left, Yu Luying looked in the direction of the Tower of Babel in the palace again. There was not even a slightly taller building there.

"You can't see it, but you can feel it - it must be there," said Xiao Yao.

“It’s only 1000 meters, less than a bus stop away, and it would only take 15 minutes to walk on flat ground. But once it’s erected, it becomes such an insurmountable wall. I wonder what price ordinary people have to pay to stand at the top?” Yu Luying murmured to herself.

Chapter 254 Shen Jie's Victory Escape

2023-07-04

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying informed Yu Bo of the experimental results of the intercom equipment, and then spent a huge amount of money to rent a hotel suite in the western suburbs business district - although it was expensive, they wanted the large dressing mirror, and the location was convenient for access and not ostentatious.

Xiao Yao informed Shen Jie of the action plan, and Shen Jie replied that there was no problem.

They said they were going to shake up a large group of people, but in the end, there were only a few.

Xiao Yao himself, Yu Luying, Xiao Xiong, Dai Yu, Yu Bo, as well as Teacher Yao and Master Shi Hui.

The addition of these last two characters was really inexplicable and unexpected.

When everyone was gathering and preparing to set off, the great monk Shi Hui, who had been silent for many days, suddenly came to visit. When he heard that they were going to rescue people and that there was such a magical huge palace, he insisted on going with them to "take a look".

Teacher Yao, whose mind was a little unclear, seemed to have been invited by Yu Bo to guard the suite during the operation to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering or other temporary situations - and to serve as a reserve team member.

According to Yu Bo, this seems to be somewhat beneficial to Teacher Yao's soul recovery training, but Xiao Yao is only worried that he will meet his enemy Xiong Ji and get jealous and start fighting.

Although it was later proved that Xiao Yao was just worrying too much, this awkward "meeting with haters" still made Xiao Yao feel a little uncomfortable.

The next evening, Xiao Yao and his teachers and friends gathered in the hotel suite.

After checking the equipment, Commander-in-Chief Xiao Yao reiterated the action plan and emphasized once again the principle of "never force yourself, retreat when you need to". Finally, after contacting and confirming that VIP Shen Jie was able to act, the first organized and planned action in this story so far, in which both the enemy and ourselves were aware of each other, was officially launched.

--split line--

The deployment and expansion after entering the hall went smoothly at first.

According to the report of Master Shi Hui, with his comprehensive and superb cultivation, he made his way up to the 88th floor.

Xiao Yao even had an idea that perhaps the problem could be solved by simply asking Shi Hui to rescue people.

Then came Yu Bo. Although he was not very good at fighting, he somehow received a commission to preach, so he went up to the 64th floor to guard it.

How strange, Xiao Yao thought. Do the "people" here actually have such needs?

Yu Luying entered the 14th floor based on her test scores, and then participated in a musical instrument performance audition, which led her directly to the 24th floor.

There was also a beauty pageant similar to Miss America where she could be promoted, but Xiao Yao didn't want Yu Luying to pose in a bikini, so he stopped her from continuing to participate.

If you think about it carefully, there is actually no need for that. After all, Yu Luying is not Shen Jie, and she herself cannot let go.

The one parked on the 13th floor is the little bear who did well in the exam.

Daiyu and Xiao Yao could only pass to level 3, and then they worked together to reach level 7.

Since there was no need for the two of them to be together, Xiao Yao let Daiyu stay on the 7th floor, and he found a slide and returned to the first floor, guarding near the manhole cover connecting the drainage channel to the first floor.

At this point, all deployments have been completed, waiting for the VIP lady Shen Jie to be rescued to take action.

Since they could no longer contact Shen Jie directly, the waiting process seemed a bit long. The team members who could not see each other could only chat casually on the radio.

"What do you think? If our operation today goes smoothly, will this temple still exist? I think this place is quite interesting. It would be a pity to destroy it."

"Is it fun? What's on your floor? My floor is just a cram school. It gives me a headache just looking at it."

"You'll find out when you come up from cram school. There's also a beauty pageant, it's going to be quite lively."

"Which number won the beauty pageant?"

"No. 76, I think I'm not as good as you, why don't you join?"

"Don't be indecisive. We are not here for sightseeing."

"There's still no movement, right? We can't keep saying everything is fine, right?"

"Father Yu, I see that the shadows in this place today are doing their own things in a well-ordered manner. Even the evildoers are excluded from the order. This is completely different from the chaotic cannibalism we have seen and heard before. You must take good care of these children you bring and don't let them lose themselves here."

"This place seems to be orderly, but when I look at the upper class, I don't see how they are better than the lower class. After all, it's still the old routine of the lower class harming each other to support the upper class. I will talk to the children about this when I get out."

"Masters, you two are discussing this on the public channel. We can hear it now."

"Then it's not too late for us to talk about it another day."

"Hey? Who was the girl who just spoke? Was it Shen Jie?"

"Isn't it you?"

"not me."

Just as there was some commotion on the radio channel, the building suddenly began broadcasting the news on the radio:

"Attention, residents of all floors. Attention, residents of all floors. An emergency bounty mission is now being issued. The bounty amount is a 114th floor helicopter ticket or an equivalent bonus. The bounty target is to capture Shen Jie alive. Repeat below..."

"Oh my god!" Xiao Yao jumped up suddenly: "There's this?"

"It seems that Shen Jie has escaped. Everyone, stay at your respective floors and follow the plan after you reunite."

"I've already seen her, and we'll be able to meet up soon!"

"Great, Master, I'm counting on you!"

"Come on, little girl, come and say hello to your friends."

"Hi-hi-hi-sha-sha-cara-cara, hello? Thank you, everyone! I'll treat you to a midnight snack when we get out later!"

Then the voice of Shen Jie reciting scriptures was heard over the radio, and the radio was filled with joy.

"That's it, that's it?" cried the little bear.

"Everyone, please don't occupy the channel yet. The master will contact us to confirm after he leaves. If there is no problem, we will withdraw first."

……

"Oh no, I am the only one who came out! Could it be that Miss Shen has been transmitted back to the top floor?"

"It's very possible," Yu Bo said, "Perhaps for Xiao Shen, the top floor is the 'entrance'."

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"

"Why didn't you leave the communicator with her?"

"I didn't remember it, and you didn't tell me in advance. I'll go over there again."

"Don't panic, don't panic, I have a backup plan. Everyone gather down and act together. We will go out through the entrance."

Just as Xiao Yao was redeploying his direction of action, the sound of the broadcast rang out again in the building:

"Attention, residents of all floors. Attention, residents of all floors. An emergency bounty mission is now being issued. The bounty amount is a 77th-floor helicopter ticket or an equivalent bonus. The bounty target is to eliminate those who help Shen Jie. The bounty mission to capture Shen Jie alive is still valid. Repeat below..."

"Fuck, what the hell is this."

"Is there a red light on your floor?"

"No, what red light?"

"The red alarm light is on on the 64th floor. It seems that the barrier of the floor has been lifted. Fireball? I see Shen Jie. I'll go over there immediately."

"Father, be careful, don't force it!"

……

"I'm Shen Jie. Father Yu just left the communicator to me. He led the pursuers away and retreated. I will continue to move forward."

"Got it. Keep in touch and stay safe." Xiao Yao said quickly.

"They don't dare to hurt me. I'm very safe." There was a hint of pride in Shen Jie's tone.

……

……

"Xiao Yao, I'm your bear brother. They started to attack Shen Jie directly. I tried my best and I'm going to retreat first!"

"Didn't they say they didn't dare to hurt her? Didn't they agree to capture her alive?"

Xiao Yao hurried to the prize redemption office to inquire, but received the following reply:

Shen Jie herself also belongs to the category of "people who help Shen Jie", and eliminating her can also get the reward of bounty 2.

Good sleep!!! Xiao Yao roared in his heart.

Then, the staff at the prize redemption office kindly reminded Xiao Yao: "It's not easy to capture him alive. There are many people who want to intercept him halfway. Since the top leaders failed to capture him alive, the second bounty order clearly shows that they don't want to capture him alive.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

"All units, pay attention. All units, pay attention. The enemy may kill Shen Jie now. Do not harbor any illusions! I repeat, do not harbor any illusions!" Xiao Yao said at the top of his lungs.

"Killing someone? Impossible. Is the old man crazy?"

"Anyway, just stop being so careless!"

……

It's really annoying.

……

"Xiao Yao, I'm Shen Jie. Didn't you tell me you also found Buckingham's group?"

"What Bai Han? Are you kidding? I didn't look for them? How could I possibly look for them?" Xiao Yao was anxious.

"Then how did they get here?" Shen Jie was also a little nervous: "What does this have to do with anything?"

"Don't be nervous. As partners of justice, we are here to help." The unique, self-righteous and vulgar voice of Earl Nottingham came from the intercom.

"I warn you not to have any bad ideas!" Xiao Yao yelled.

"Sister, I'm Yu Luying. Which floor are you on? The light is on and I can't see you." Yu Luying said.

"We've already gone down, why don't you just retreat?" Shen Jie said.

"You...you?" Yu Luying placed emphasis on the word "you", with a deep sense of uneasiness in her tone.

……

"I'm at the door of the building, but I can't get in. Xiao Yao, where is the sewer entrance you mentioned?"

"It's right, it's right - oh, I can't explain it in a few words, please just meet me outside the building first!" Xiao Yao was a little incoherent and flustered.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm Daiyu. I'm over here. Do you see the sign for the chess and card room? We can go down this way!"

"Since your support has arrived, we will take our leave first." Earl Nottington said, "See you later."

"Xiao Yao, get ready to support us. My sister-in-law and I are going down!" Daiyu shouted.

"Okay, be careful about everything." Xiao Yao said quickly.
