Kangfu took a step back subconsciously, but was tripped by Xiaoying who was crouching behind him with her head in her hands. He fell to the dusty ground, but Kangfu didn't care about that anymore.
Where is his sister? Where is his sister?
As if in response to his question, the door next to him suddenly clicked and the doorknob was turned.
Kangfu saw his sister, who had turned into a monster just like Shanta and the others!
Even an adult would probably have their psychological defenses broken in such a situation, not to mention that Kangfu is just a ten-year-old child.
However, Sakura, who tripped and fell with him, prevented Yasuo from collapsing immediately. He was the one who brought the girl in, so he realized that he had to do something.
He is a liar and often disobeys his mother. But, his mother said, he is a man.
Kangfu stood up, grabbed Sakura's hand and dragged her down the stairs.
Zenta, Jiro and his sister, who had become 'weirdos', had no intention of chasing them. They just looked at them coldly, without any warmth in their eyes, or even any human emotions.
However, when he reached the platform halfway around the corner of the stairs, Kangfu had to stop.
There were two people standing at the bottom of the stairs, a middle-aged man and woman. Kangfu had never seen them before and thought they were the Zhoushan couple.
The two of them smiled at each other, as if they were just ordinary, friendly neighbors. But they were blocked in front of the stairs, so Yasuo and Sakura couldn't pass through at all.
There was clearly no one here just now, and Kangfu couldn't imagine how the other person appeared here.
"You, who are you?"
"Oh, you don't know us? Aren't we old neighbors?" the strange man asked, as if they really had been neighbors for many years.
"You're lying, I don't know you at all! This is... Oh, I remember now!" Kangfu looked around and finally remembered what he had been forgetting. "Isn't this a long-abandoned ruin?"
Yes, he remembered. Somehow the memory that had become blurry became clear.
There was no so-called villa next to his house, but a ruin that had collapsed long ago, right next to his "secret base". In the past, he often came here with other children of the same age to "explore". However, because the collapsed ruins were too dangerous, he would always be beaten and scolded by his family when they found out.
So, this is a haunted house. No quotes needed.
It’s a real haunted house!
Chapter 129 Dimensional Witch
In the Kinomoto residence, Tenglong looked at the wall clock. It was almost seven o'clock, and Sakura had not returned yet.
This was unusual. Xiaoying had never been out so late. If she was going to a classmate's house, she would tell him in advance. He used the phone at home to call Xiaoying's cell phone. It was a gift from her friend, a very expensive gift. Tenglong was also thinking about whether to give her a return gift. Now when you need to contact someone, a cell phone is indeed a very convenient thing.
However, after dialing, the receiver received a busy tone indicating that the call could not be connected.
Is it off? Or is it——
After thinking about it, he made another call. After hanging up, he took his coat from the hanger and walked out the door, ready to look for it along the way to the school.
The call cannot be connected because the entire villa has become an independent space.
"Strange, really strange. The loading of the simulated consciousness actually failed? The earthlings are indeed magical creatures, worthy of study."
Kangfu didn't hear clearly what the other person was muttering. Although he was so scared that his legs were weak, he knew he had to do something.
"Ying, I'll hold them back for a while, you run outside, don't look back and run as fast as you can. Then go contact the TAC team! I'm a liar, no one believes me, but the TAC team will believe you!"
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the TAC team is notified or not, but Kangfu remembers that he was the one who brought Sakura here and brought her into danger, so he must take responsibility to rescue her.
This is what a man is.
"But...but..." Sakura was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, you are a magical girl. You can always win at the end of the story. This is what Magician Kuro is like!"
As long as the protagonist is saved, it's a happy ending. As for a liar like him, no one would care. If this were a TV series, people like him probably wouldn't even have a shot, right?
Kangfu felt a little self-deprecating.
"It's now!"
Kangfu suddenly let go of Xiaoying's hand and rushed towards the other couple. Although he was only ten years old, he had a lot of experience in fighting. After all, he had always been a problem child that gave his teacher and mother a headache.
However, to his surprise, he was easily caught by the man when he threw himself at him with all his strength. The man's hand was like an iron clamp, and Kangfu's strength was unable to shake it at all.
"Let me go, let me go!" Kangfu struggled hard, but all his struggles were in vain.
Xiaoying's escape plan was undoubtedly thwarted. Although she ran outside obediently - in fact, her mind was blank at this moment and she couldn't think of anything else, she was also stopped by "Aunt Zhoushan".
Even in her worst nightmares, she had never dreamed of anything so horrible.
"Mom!" This was her subconscious cry. When children are most scared, they will always call out the person they depend on the most.
This person had left her and gone to heaven many years ago, but a few months ago, this title was given meaning again.
No one would care about the little girl's cries, it was just a meaningless struggle. 'Mrs. Zhoushan' grabbed the girl's arm, with no pity in her eyes, nor any other extra emotions.
Because it is just a robot, and the Yabo people who control it are far away in another dimension.
But at this moment, another voice came from the side, which did not belong to the four people present.
"Please let go of Sakura."
This sound seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The Zhoushan couple were very sure that, at least one second ago, there was no one else in the hall.
But the fact is that a young woman appeared right behind them.
"Please let Sakura go, Awa." Amamiya Nadeshiko spoke again.
Sakura and Yasuo didn't know each other, and they might think that the "Zhoushan couple" were ghosts, but Nadeshiko could certainly recognize them.
Seriously speaking, the other party could be considered her 'creator'. It was the other party who gave her life with cloning technology far superior to that of Earth, a life that should not have existed.
"It's you?" Madam Zhoushan was sure that the woman had indeed appeared suddenly, because that was the dimensional technology of the Yabo people. It was the function of the ring on Nadeshiko's finger.
With such a ring, it immediately understood the woman's identity. There is only one ring left on this earth.
It was a "messenger" that they had specially created to communicate with the spokesperson of the Earth's will. After that, this doll lost its value and was given to Gaia as a gift.
"Sakura is my daughter, please let her go." Nadeshiko said for the third time, "Also please let that boy go."
The Zhoushan couple did not let go. To them, Nadeshiko's request was inconceivable. She was just a doll, but she was making demands on her master.
"Your daughter? If you really think you are the human named 'Amamiya Nadeshiko', go tell Gaia. As long as she promises not to interfere in our war with humans and the Kingdom of Light, I can certainly return this girl to you."
Nadeshiko could not agree to such a request because she had no authority to make decisions for Reiya.
Suddenly, Nadeshiko moved, and she slammed her whole body into 'Mrs. Zhoushan'. Nadeshiko didn't know how to fight, neither she nor the real her in her memory had any experience of fighting, but a mother would do anything for her daughter.
The collision seemed to hit a stone pillar.
It is not a metaphor, because Nadeshiko realizes that the other party is not a normal life form. They, or rather, they are not Yawa people, but robots made by Yawa people.
It looks like a human, but it is not even a living thing.
This collision was unexpected, causing Mrs. Zhoushan to fall back a step and loosen her hand. In just this moment, Nadeshiko and Sakura disappeared from the spot.
"It's a dimensional ring." Mr. Zhoushan snorted. It spoke for the Yabo people who controlled it. "Which loser proposed the dimensional ring before?"
It was undoubtedly a slap in the face that the other party was able to escape by using the Yabo people's own technological products.
The Yabo people are not just an individual, but an entire civilization. Although due to the direction of evolution, the number of individuals in this group has gradually decreased over the past thousand years, and they have embarked on the path of pursuing individual functional transformation, to this day, the entire group still has hundreds of thousands of members.
This civilization is led by the Yabo Supreme Council, whose current president has been in office for over 600 years. It has boldly transformed its own body using Yabo's genetic technology - it has turned itself into a super beast.
During these six hundred years, the Yabo clan, led by the Speaker, conquered the east and west of the galaxy, occupied dozens of star systems with mineral and biological resources, and made a name for themselves as people from other dimensions.
During these six hundred years, Yabo's extra-dimensional civilization also established itself as an invading civilization.
However, the fact that the Speaker is in charge of everything does not mean that there are no other voices in the entire Council.
Madam Zhoushan did not answer. Although the "envoy" sent out before was a proposal approved by the Council, there were actually many objections among the Yabo people. However, as the war with Earth continued, resources continued to be invested but the income was not enough to cover the expenditure. There was indeed a group of "doves" in the Council that showed signs of emerging.
War is for the purpose of gaining benefits, not simply burning and killing.
"They are just a bunch of cowards. Fortunately, the Speaker is determined to take over the Earth. Those cowards can't cause any trouble."
'Mr. Zhoushan' looked down at the boy in his hands, and saw that Kangfu had fainted from fright.
"No matter what, the experiment in this test field has not been completed yet. Especially the doll. She should be with Gaia normally. We can't let her reveal this secret to Gaia. Go and capture her!"
Madam Zhoushan nodded, and the next second she disappeared. Of course, she also has the technology to move through the entire dimensional field. And it does it better than a mere dimensional ring.
It is not afraid of losing. As a prop made by the Yabo people, the dimensional anchor used by each dimensional ring is recorded. The dimensional anchor is the core of the dimensional ring and cannot be modified at all.
As long as you use the core code to track, the coordinates will be as clear as a candle tower in the dark night.
She will never be able to escape from that puppet!
Her eyes blurred and her whole body felt like it was passing through a layer of water film. Sakura couldn't describe the feeling well. If she had to find a similar metaphor, it would probably be like playing on a spiral slide in a water park. There was a moment of weightlessness, suffocation and dizziness, but it was only for a moment. The next second she felt down to earth again.
The surroundings were familiar scenery. This was near her home, and next to it was the King Penguin Park.
"You go back first, Sakura."
"But where's Mom?"
Nadeshiko did not intend to run away with Sakura. Both her ring and herself were created by the Yawa people, and it was she who the Yawa people could locate.
If Sakura stayed with her, she would be in more danger.
So Nadeshiko plans to go find Reiya alone, of course the TAC team is also fine, but she trusts Reiya more.
The Yabo people are planning something. The so-called "experiment" in that courtyard must have a deeper conspiracy. Ling must know this. Only she can stop the Yabo people.
But at this moment——
"Nadeshiko?"
This was a voice that Nadeshiko would never forget, and it was just behind her.
It was already seven o'clock. Sakura had no friends at school before, so she usually didn't go to her classmates' houses. Recently, she made two friends from other schools who she met while filming a TV series, but Tenglong called Tomoyo and Reiya, and Sakura didn't go to their houses.
Upon learning that Sakura is missing, Reiya and Tomoyo both want to help, but are rejected by Tenglong.
As an adult, Tenglong would certainly trust the police more than asking children of the same age for help. High school students saving the world is only a thing in comics, not to mention that Tomoyo and Ling are only elementary school students.
Tenglong put on his coat and went out. He planned to look for Sakura along the path she took after school. Maybe she was detained, or maybe the club had some activities and forgot to tell him. If he couldn't find her, he would call the police.
As a university professor, he also had some connections in the police department, even some of his former students.
The wind in late autumn was a little cold, blowing the ground and rolling up the fallen leaves, making a crisp sound. Tenglong did not drive, he chose to walk.
Then at a certain moment, a person who had appeared in his dreams countless times but whom he would never see again appeared in his sight.
