Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 55: Escape

The beads turned slower and slower.
Qiaoqiao felt that the force binding her was also weakening.
The blood flowing in the ghost painting completely dried up, the blood line was broken, and the spider silk was also broken.
Bang!
The ghost painting exploded.
Qiaoqiao fell a few meters away due to the force of the explosion. The dirt flew up and then fell again, covering the bodies of Chang Lizhang and Shao Lang.
Qiaoqiao saw that her hands and the hem of her skirt had returned to their original shape and color. She looked at the mountains around her, feeling the spiritual power flowing through her body, and she turned lightly in a circle.
She is free!
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked in the direction of the ghost painting. She saw Lin Yu squatting there, checking the situation of Chang Lizhang and Shao Lang. He seemed to have noticed something, he raised his head and looked in the direction she was looking - the black bead was lying not far away.
Lin Yu reached out to take the bead, a green light flashed before his eyes, he quickly grabbed the bead, and the next second, Qiaoqiao's hand grabbed his hand.
"Give it to me." Qiaoqiao ordered.
Lin Yu held the beads tightly.
"Give it to me." Qiaoqiao's nails became long and sharp, and pierced into the back of Lin Yu 's hand. "It's useless in your hands."
The nails pierced Lin Yu's hand and touched the surface of the bead.
Qiaoqiao showed a strange smile on her face, "Since you don't want to let go, then that's perfect..."
The beads heated up.
Lin Yu once again felt hot and dizzy. The world he saw once again became strange and bizarre. Something like jelly blocked his way, and the beads became hotter and hotter...
He squeezed the bead hard, trying to break it.
Suddenly, his eyes went white.
He seemed to be dragged into something. He looked around and saw a gray mist. There was only a path under his feet. He walked along the path, paying attention to the situation around him. There was a black thing swimming in the gray mist, constantly approaching him.
Lin Yu saw it clearly.
It has a fish face, a snake body, and a pair of wings.
Lin Yu recognized it at once.
It flew toward him.
The ugly head grew larger in front of him.
He felt a heat in his body and ran forward. When he was about to meet the monster, he twisted his body to the side and then jumped up. He jumped very high and when the monster turned around, he hit it hard with his fist in the face. He saw some golden light flashing between his fingers and the golden petals that had appeared in his dream appeared under his feet again, supporting his body and bringing him slowly to the ground.
The monster gradually dispersed in the golden light.
The nightmares and haze that had been haunting him also dissipated.
The golden petals disappeared, Lin Yu lowered his head and looked at his hands.
"Lin, Lin Yu?"
He heard someone calling him.
He turned around and saw a very faint figure, but he still recognized her, "Xiao Rui?"
"Why are you here?" Duan Rui asked him.
"I'm in the bead now," Lin Yu judged his situation and asked, "Do you know how to get out?"
Duan Rui shook her head. She looked at the monster's disappearing body and said, "I will soon disappear completely. I seem to have had a very long dream."
"Is it worth it?" Lin Yu asked.
Duan Rui was silent for a moment. After a moment, she raised her head with a stubborn expression and said, "I don't regret it."
"Really?"
Her body became lighter, and her voice became more ethereal. She seemed to be explaining to Lin Yu, or convincing herself. She said, "I don't regret it. My parents treated me well because I worked hard and had good grades. Once I failed to meet their expectations, they would withdraw their kindness to me. The same is true for love. They promised to be together for a lifetime, but when I was no longer worthy of them, they didn't want me anymore. In the end, I married a woman who was well-matched. Only she, she belongs to me completely, and I belong to her completely. No one can abandon anyone. "
"You've been deceived by it, it's just using you..."
"You too, right?" Duan Rui interrupted Lin Yu. "If I hadn't been able to help you in your career, would you have recruited me to your company?"
"No, but..."
"You have conditions for me, too."
"But your ability is also a part of you, and..."
"You don't understand."
Duan Rui's lower body completely disappeared.
Lin Yu looked at her and said: I went to your supermarket today and met your mother and your father.
Duan Rui bit her lip.
"Your mother scolded me so much that it made me spit blood. Your father even wanted to beat me," Lin Yu smiled bitterly. "They seem to be in good spirits and in good health."
Tears suddenly welled up in Duan Rui's eyes.
The tears fell into Lin Yu's hands, and they were very hot.
She completely disappeared.
Lin Yu heard the voice coming from the wind - I'm sorry.
Qiaoqiao saw that Lin Yu's eyes slowly closed and his hand holding the beads gradually loosened. She was delighted, and she used both hands to pry open Lin Yu's fingers and grabbed the beads.
So hot.
She looked up and saw Lin Yu opened his eyes.
At the same time, she felt a suction coming from the bead. She was horrified to see her body being sucked into the pillar again. She looked at Lin Yu in disbelief, "Impossible, how could it recognize you as its master? Even if Xiaoman is dead, it can't be you..."
She struggled, but couldn't get free.
She asked, "Who are you?"
"Right Protector of the Spider Cult."
"What?"
Qiaoqiao was completely sucked into the bead.
Lin Yu was holding the bead, and he felt the ground shaking. Then, he saw the spider silk that sealed the gap disappear.
He heard messy footsteps.
Then he saw Jiang You running out of the gap, holding Jiang Mo, panting.
As soon as Jiang You saw Lin Yu, he said, "Quick, quick, wake them up. Stop shouting. Just carry them up. Each of you carry one. Run, run."
"Uncle Zheng?"
Jin Cheng, who was tied to the side, saw Zheng Yuantai carrying Tang Butian behind Jiang You.
