He Jinghui moved very quickly. At the time, he had opened an umbrella, but it seemed quite sturdy, intercepting some flying knives that were attacking us from behind.
This He Jinghui has too many weapons. At a critical moment, I couldn't figure it out. He Xiaoyu didn't delay and led us through the iron gate. Once He Jinghui was safe, he quickly followed.
We continued to move forward. Although this house seemed vast, I believed that as long as we didn't give up and persevered, we would definitely find Er Junchi.
He Xiaoyu led the way. As we passed a winding, spiraling staircase, many glass marbles rolled down from above. We were all going up, and He Xin almost stepped on a marble and fell. If I hadn't pulled her back.
He Xiaoyu told us to be careful, but stood above. Even she almost lost her balance at times, but she could use her Qinggong to steady herself. However, we were quite flustered.
Later, we all had to use our hands to hold the stairs and carefully ascend. Countless marbles fell with force, making every step forward feel arduous.
What should have taken 5 minutes to walk up the stairs took us a full 20 minutes. We finally reached a platform above. We saw that it was a room, filled with clocks everywhere, and glass bottles resembling lucky star jars were placed on both sides. These bottles were several times larger than what we usually see, and they were filled with countless agates.
"There are so many here..." He Xin covered her mouth in surprise at that moment.
"If the murderer put two every time they killed someone, then who knows how many people were in danger."
Liu Yuning said this, and Xiahou suddenly discovered a pattern behind one of the bottles. When I saw its image, I knew who it was: it was the demon god Dunkaravi, the 69th demon god among the 72 Solomon demon gods. His form was a five-pointed star, with a human appearance. He was skilled at discerning the quality of gems or birds, and could transform into a bird to be commanded by the summoner.
I discovered something in a crack of this pattern and, ignoring everyone's reactions, rushed over immediately and touched a protruding corner above with my hand.
There seemed to be a mechanism here. With my touch, a human face appeared in the center of the Dunkaravi. However, the face was covered in brain matter and blood. Then, the features slowly emerged, becoming exceptionally clear. At the corners of the mouth below was a cunning and sinister sneer, and the eyes above, formed by accumulated wrinkles, like those of a falcon, stared directly at us.
The Dunkaravi, which was originally just a pattern, suddenly seemed to come alive, separating from the wall and walking out!
"Young Master, be careful!"
The strange figure, holding a blood-stained long saber, lunged at me!
Because I had no idea this pattern would "come alive," I didn't evade at all. Even though He Jinghui and He Xiaoyu lunged forward desperately, it was too late...
The long saber plunged directly into my body. My eyes widened, and I gazed at the man before me with terror and despair!
Just as I painfully took a step back, the man's face suddenly showed a mocking and contemptuous, demon-like sneer. I was like a believer abandoned by God, forcefully pushed by him into the eternal hell of the Senluo, submerged in chaos and evil forever, unable to find salvation even with a lifetime of mercy.
The man before me was subdued by He Jinghui, but I could only hear He Xiaoyu and Liu Yuning desperately shouting my name, and finally He Xin's crying...
"He Sheng! Don't sleep, hold on! Hold on!"
"Young Master, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
"Dad, what's wrong? Wake up!"
I don't know how I was taken away. Anyway, I seemed to have passed through the gates of hell. When I regained consciousness, I wasn't in a hospital. Instead, I found myself in a vast grassland filled with floating dandelions and planted with all sorts of colorful flowers. A person was riding a Seere-like winged horse, galloping freely.
Seere, the 70th demon god among the 72 Solomon demon gods, was under the dominion of the King of the East. His true form was a handsome man riding a winged horse. He mastered the principles of the universe's workings, could circle the world in the blink of an eye, reveal thieves and the location of hidden treasures, and possessed extraordinary talents.
I never expected to be riding this horse now. He Xiaoyu was in front, holding the reins and taking me desperately in a certain direction.
"Young Master, you're awake?"
"Yes, He Xiaoyu, where is this?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me!"
I leaned back behind her carefully. I felt a bit tired, but my nostrils could catch the faint, elegant fragrance of the flowers. This reminded me of the scent of violets from the Lolita case, and I also thought of He Qing, whom I had arrested...
At this moment, the North Star pendant on my chest, for some reason, suddenly emitted a faint yellow light, making me instinctively grip it tightly...
Just as we rode the winged horse near a small town, He Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, helped me dismount, and then pointed to the town in the distance, where smoke curled from chimneys, saying, "That's the organization's Eden City. We're back..."
"We're back!" I repeated.
I suddenly felt that He Xiaoyu's voice was a little subdued and familiar, like an elder who had lived with me before, but I had no memory of her.
Why did I have no memory? I wasn't clear at the time.
"Young Master! Husband! Dad!"
I felt someone desperately calling me. Gradually, I woke up from that strange dream and saw the three extremely anxious faces streaked with tears, while a silent and valiant figure stood behind them like Zhan Zhao.
"You're awake! He Sheng is awake!" They seemed crazy at that moment, completely unable to control their excitement.
He Jinghui immediately pressed the call button. Soon, a group of nurses and several doctors entered and conducted a thorough examination of my body.
During the process, the doctor said in surprise, "A miracle, a true miracle! How is this possible? This knife wasn't... Oh, it turns out that pendant blocked part of the impact force. Look, there are marks of the blade on the pendant."
