"I never said I would use Mo to exchange for a chance to go back."
As she spoke, the Empress had already created an ice sword out of thin air, aiming it at her own heart.
"We'll be able to get out very soon, Mo."
Immediately after, without hesitation, she thrust the sword into her own body.
"Squelch..."
"Fei!?"
"Miss Fei!?"
Chen Ze was completely frozen in place.
No, if you're going to commit suicide, don't do it in his car!!!
"Fei! Fei!"
......
Gradually losing consciousness, the Little Princess's calls gradually became distant, as if shouting from afar.
......
......
......
"Hah..."
Jolting awake in bed, she observed her surroundings.
Had the dream already collapsed?
The Empress covered her head to recover for a moment.
"Fei..."
"Mo? You're already awake?"
But very quickly, she discovered something was wrong. The surrounding environment wasn't the Scarlet Imperial Palace at all. She was still in Chen Ze's car.
Different from before, it was now nighttime, and the car was still running, having driven to who knows where.
"No... we're still in the dream."
The Little Princess shook her head.
"The dream hasn't collapsed yet!?"
"No... When you stabbed the sword into your heart, the dream that was originally collapsing suddenly recovered."
"Recovered... are you joking?"
How was that possible? Clearly, as long as she died in the dream, both of them should have been able to get out!
"Hiss..."
The Empress tightly covered her chest. It was a wound wrapped in gauze, with ice element residue on the wound, freezing the blood that should have been gushing out.
"..."
It seemed she hadn't successfully died.
From the way the Little Princess kept pressing her hand on her wound from time to time, trying to use her dream control authority to repair her wound, it could be seen that if the Little Princess hadn't been continuously treating her...
"I..."
"You already died once. Your heart stopped beating for half an hour, and you almost bled out without any treatment measures. Because that thing kept expanding outward, Chen Ze and I took you and left first."
"And... I only just revived you."
As everyone knew, this was a dream. In a dream, anything was possible. As long as she was still the master of this dream, then death-defying operations like resurrection were still achievable.
"I see."
So it seemed an unpredictable change had occurred, causing the method that originally would have allowed them to exit directly to fail.
Not only could they not get out, but during the dream's collapse, the Little Princess's shadow had also produced an unknown existence.
And that existence, if nothing unexpected happened, was probably the dream's collapse itself, right?
Using the shadow as the source of collapse, devouring the entire dream as the collapse itself?
This was getting a bit troublesome...
Checking her remaining magic power, what surprised her was that her magic power had already stored up to half capacity.
So she constructed a Magic Circle to heal the wound on her body, then summoned some light to orbit around herself.
"Officer Chen... could I trouble you to stop the car for a moment?"
Hearing this, Chen Ze immediately stopped the car. Toward the Empress who had come back from the dead, he didn't dare have any objections.
Two people who controlled supernatural powers! Although they kept muttering strange words, even inexplicably using a language he completely couldn't understand, these people were truly formidable! He didn't dare provoke them!
Something about the world not collapsing or whatever... Some words sounded very blurry, even completely inaudible...
He didn't know what the two people's conversation specifically meant. He only knew this world was very likely done for!
Driving with the Little Princess and Empress in the car, he'd run for who knows how many kilometers, continuously refueling along the way. Then finally, he simply spent several thousand yuan to directly fill up several gas cans in the trunk, and also bought several spare tires.
With these things, it would be enough for them to continue running another thousand kilometers.
"Fei, um, about Xiao Xi..."
"She isn't truly real. She's just a product of the dream."
"Oh..."
In fact, she had long since treated Xiao Xi as the real Xiao Xi.
She had discovered Maid Xiao Xi's oddities long ago, just hadn't exposed it.
"Listen, you two young ladies, I think you should really plan out what to do!"
"Cold salad."
The Empress replied.
What good solution could she have at this point? The method to actively exit the dream had been banned, and the other method of making the dream collapse also seemed ineffective. She had no solution either.
At this point, they could probably only hope something from the outside world could awaken the two of them...
"Fei, I know a place that can provide you with endless magic power. Want to go there?"
The Little Princess put down her phone.
What the map displayed was a nuclear power plant... a nuclear power plant that was currently in normal operation.
If it was a normally operating nuclear power plant, the Empress would definitely have infinite magic power, right?
"Let's go."
......
......
As a law-abiding citizen, at this very moment he was actually following two people who controlled supernatural powers and doing illegal things...
A warning sign hung conspicuously on the barbed wire fence: No Entry. But the three people still ignored the warning and directly passed through using magic.
"See if we can directly move the nuclear reactor away?"
"What are you thinking?"
The Little Princess knocked the Empress on the head.
"How could something like a nuclear reactor be moved away? If it could be moved away casually, why would they need to build such a large nuclear power plant?"
Did she think she was playing Iron Man? Creating a miniature reactor to carry on her body?
"Then forget it. Once I've fully replenished my magic power, we'll leave directly."
"Continue fleeing?"
"No, I'm planning to go back and look. You can continue leaving, but I must go back."
Someone had to go back and see how to eliminate that shadow. Otherwise, they'd probably never be able to get out of the dream world for the rest of their lives.
The Little Princess couldn't use her control authority over the dream perfectly. Often, it inexplicably stopped working. The preliminary assessment was that the control authority over the dream wasn't complete.
And the other part of the complete control authority was probably that shadow that wanted to devour the entire dream world. Otherwise, a mere old shadow from the Little Princess's past couldn't possibly have this level of power.
As for why the dream's control authority had split in two, she didn't know. She wasn't some encyclopedia.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Hm?"
The Little Princess picked up her phone somewhat puzzled.
Who would call her at this time? Right now, most of Pengcheng should be gone. Everyone should be busy escaping for their lives. No one should still have time to call her, right?
Seeing the caller clearly, the Little Princess's pupils contracted sharply.
"Xiao Xi!?"
Immediately answering the phone, the voice on the other end was indeed a familiar voice, but very hoarse.
"Princess... Your other half... is..."
