#243 - Chapter 243: Bewitched
"Brother Fu, don't you want to find someone?"
"I do."
What does that mean?
Does this "I do" mean he has someone?
I didn't misunderstand, right?
Someone as lazy as him can find someone?
Qi Jing's face was full of disbelief.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
He really does!
Wait, why?
Qi Jing didn't understand.
It's reasonable for a normal person like him to find someone, but this salted fish looks abnormal at first glance!
No, no, no, didn't he just say he didn't have someone? How does he have someone now?
"Didn't you just say you didn't have someone?"
"I have a wife."
So a wife isn't 'someone'?
"Then didn't you just say you didn't have anyone to keep you company?"
"We're not together."
???
At this moment, the curiosity in Qi Jing's heart had reached its peak.
He's already married, but the two of them aren't together!
What does this represent?
Could it be?
Forget it, forget it, I won't ask. What if it's another sad story?
No matter how strong my curiosity is, I can't pry into other people's scars.
But it's so boring to not talk!!!
While thinking about new topics that could be understood with just two words, Qi Jing frantically collected treasures into his space.
What should I talk about?
"Brother Fu, you—bad!"
Spider-Sense!
Qi Jing instantly felt his hair stand on end!
There's danger!
He quickly flashed towards Fu Tantan, while looking in the direction of the danger.
But there was nothing there except for the bottomless abyss.
A false alarm?
Impossible!
It can't be a false alarm!
My Spider-Sense would never be wrong!
The vigilant Qi Jing activated Observation Haki and mental power, sensing that area.
But there was still nothing.
Where did my Spider-Sense come from?
"Where?" Fu Tantan asked from behind Qi Jing.
"I don't know. Just now, my danger-predicting skill sensed danger, but I didn't see the source of the danger."
Qi Jing also began to suspect that it was a false alarm.
"Report it."
Right, regardless of whether it's a false alarm or not, it's best to report it first.
Qi Jing opened the communication button on his chest and said:
"I sensed danger, but I'm not sure of the source of the danger."
Next, he just had to wait for a minute.
But Qi Jing always felt that something was wrong. What was it?
"Wait."
Fu Tantan and Qi Jing stood there without moving, wary of the danger that could appear around them at any time.
But even after Yu Ding's communication came a minute later, they didn't see the slightest movement, and the Spider-Sense didn't trigger again.
"Safe. There are no problems in my field of vision. You can continue."
Hearing Yu Ding's words, Qi Jing felt relieved and returned to his side to continue working.
Next was another long period of silence, but Qi Jing wasn't lonely this time. He was constantly observing his surroundings, afraid that an enemy would suddenly pop out and kill him.
Under the high tension of his mind, he couldn't bother thinking about those other things.
Finally, after safely scavenging the surface of this time whale's corpse, they returned to the submarine once again.
"So tired, I feel like my mind is about to break down."
Qi Jing collapsed on the seat. He felt very sleepy now and just wanted to have a good sleep.
"It's okay, I prepared a mind-refreshing flower tea for you. Just take a sip, and you'll be full of energy and revitalized."
Yu Ding handed Qi Jing a cup of yellow tea.
Qi Jing took a sip and immediately felt alive again.
"Continue!"
After putting away their things, they stepped through the portal and arrived at the third time whale corpse.
"Work! Work!"
Qi Jing imitated Fu Tantan's way of speaking and started this task.
At first, he was still wary of his surroundings, but after discovering that there was no danger, he turned his attention back to collecting treasures.
Silver, diamonds, gold, soul crystals, platinum, orichalcum, time whale incense, time-adding candy, return talisman, rewind ring, there's even a Purple Azure Sword!
I'm rich! I'm rich!
Qi Jing collected all these treasures into his space.
Now it's great, so many time-adding candies, I can definitely draw something invincible!
Eat one, eat one, and eat another one!
Hmm, delicious! So delicious! Too delicious!
Next, it's time to draw a lottery. My luck can be said to be blessed by the heavens now, and I'll definitely draw good things with every draw!
What should I draw?
What can I draw to gain invincible power?
I've got it! I've got it!
I'll draw that salted fish. His ability is "copying". As long as I draw towards him, I'll definitely draw something super awesome!
Qi Jing walked to Fu Tantan's side and patted him on the shoulder:
"Lottery draw!"
A golden light flashed!
Wing———(Tinnitus)
Spider-Sense!
Qi Jing suddenly felt that he was in a huge danger, and as he looked at the surrounding environment being slowed down ten times, a sense of fear arose in his heart.
But soon, that sense of fear disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Where's the danger?
Qi Jing calmed down and carefully observed his surroundings.
But he didn't see anything!
Where did Fu Tantan go? Could it be that he was eaten by an invisible monster?
He looked behind him. The huge field only had him running alone. The blue time whale corpse was covered with white mucus and various flowers, plants, and minerals. He didn't see any other creatures.
That's not right!
Why did I pick up acceleration candy and a Purple Azure Sword on the time whale's corpse just now? The time whale's corpse only has these seemingly unremarkable treasures!
Also, why is this time whale already half stripped? Didn't they just arrive at this third time whale not long ago?
Could it be that this is the second time whale?
Could it be that I've been here all along and haven't moved?
Qi Jing immediately thought of the illusion mirrors that often appear in novels and the illusions in anime, which can pull people's minds into a field, causing them to sink into their own dreams and unable to extricate themselves, and then be killed or captured.
His current situation is so similar to being hit by an illusion. First, he was pulled into a fake illusion mirror, and then an invisible monster bit him on the shoulder.
If it weren't for his Spider-Sense, it wouldn't be his shoulder that was bitten, but his head.
He should have been pulled into the illusion when the first Spider-Sense appeared, and then he never left this place.
He didn't scavenge all the remaining treasures of the second time whale, nor did he return to the submarine.
No wonder I felt something was wrong just now. They didn't need a button to communicate with Yu Ding at all. For safety, he was watching them every moment!
There was only a one-minute delay, so there was no need to press the button so troublesome!
The most important task now is to return to the origin and wait for the arrival of the space gate.
If Yu Ding is watching here, then the space gate will definitely be placed in his original location one minute ago!
