Chapter 36 Taking a Different Approach
Chapter 36 Taking a Different Approach
Before long, Li Jiuhe, who had been swallowed back into the fat man's abyss-like maw, suddenly brightened up and emerged from the pitch-black environment.
He found himself back at the door of the rented room, remembering that he had defined his mission to catch up with Li Yi here.
However, his mind was still blank. He had completely forgotten the chase and didn't know why he had suddenly returned to the mission reset point.
Something's fishy!
This time, Li Jiuhe did not immediately chase after him, but stood there lost in thought.
He glanced at the reset point; there were 6 points left, meaning he had already reset the mission more than once.
But he had no memory of the entire process of chasing Li Yi.
Li Jiuhe suddenly realized: "My memories from this process are gone! I don't know why, but the guy impersonating Li Yi probably used something to devour my memories from just now!?"
Thinking of this, I knew I couldn't delay any longer, otherwise I might lose track of Li Yi.
He quickly jumped over the wall in front of him and followed the sound of the motorcycle.
However, this time Li Jiuhe did not plan to show himself and chase after him directly, because he had failed twice in a row, which meant that the other party had extremely powerful means to intercept him and could also devour his memories.
Watching the black racing motorcycle leave the alley and enter the narrow road in this urban-rural fringe area.
Li Jiuhe didn't follow, but instead tracked the motorcycle parallel to its path, using his speed and agility to traverse obstacles and maintain distance.
Before long, they got closer and closer to the motorcycle.
At this moment, Li Yi and her companion realized that no one was chasing them, and nothing seemed amiss in the direction of the rented house. It seemed that they had been worrying unnecessarily.
The motorcycle began to slow down and stopped just before entering the road.
Wang Feng glanced behind him and said to Li Yi, "It seems like nothing happened. Should we go back and check?"
Li Yi was also somewhat surprised, but she was very cautious and shook her head: "It's not time to go back. Let's leave first and come back in a day or two to see what's going on."
"Are we just going to leave the 27th Morning Bell in this rented room like that?" Wang Feng was somewhat unwilling.
"That thing looks like an old, worn-out item; no one would pay attention to it," Li Yi replied.
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, no one could see the morning bell of the second day of the seventh month anymore, except for Li Jiuhe.
Even Li Jiuhe himself didn't realize that the Erqi Morning Bell, which had disappeared from the sight of others, was hovering not far above his head, following him all the way.
Li Jiuhe lay hidden behind the wall closest to the motorcycle, without peeking out.
Because he knew that Li Yi was extremely vigilant, and that both of them might be Sequencers with special abilities, perhaps even having a special sensitivity to prying eyes.
Of course, he also had a vague feeling that the motorcycle was currently stopped at the intersection, but would soon leave.
After observing, just as Wang Feng turned his motorcycle around to leave, Li Jiuhe suddenly exerted force with his legs like springs.
He leaped over the wall in front of him and pounced on Li Yi, who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle.
His appearance was so sudden that the two of them hadn't noticed him at all, and now he attacked with extreme force, giving them no time to react.
Li Yi only glanced up briefly, and when she saw that the person was Li Jiuhe, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was terrified.
The next second, Li Jiuhe pounced on her, not attacking anyone, but grabbing the pink cloth bag she always carried.
Li Yi reacted quickly. Seeing that the cloth bag was about to be taken away, she reached in and grabbed whatever she could hold. Then, Li Jiuhe tore the cloth bag in half and snatched it away.
Li Jiuhe did this for a reason, because he knew very well that Li Yi liked to put important things in this cloth bag.
If his memory was erased twice in a row just now, it might be related to some method Li Yi used, and this method is very likely inside this cloth bag.
So I might as well strike first and just snatch the bag away.
If the judgment is wrong, the task can simply be reset again.
After snatching the cloth bag, Li Jiuhe looked closely and discovered that Li Yi had grabbed two items from the bag in her haste.
One was the tongue of the ravenous eater, and the other was the silver-corroded dagger.
The cloth bag in his hand was still heavy, indicating that there were other things inside.
"Quickly, grab the bag back!" Li Yi said anxiously to Wang Feng.
At the same time, she quickly put the Tongue of the Dead into her pocket and gripped the silver-corroded dagger in her hand, ready to pounce.
Before Wang Feng could say anything, he drew his black soft sword, jumped off the car, and swiftly stabbed at Li Jiuhe.
As before, his attack speed and power were no match for the two stone men. Li Jiuhe easily dodged them and immediately launched a counterattack.
A punch landed squarely on Wang Feng's shoulder, shattering the bone.
"Let's go!" Li Yi shouted, seeing that the situation was not right.
She didn't know why Li Jiuhe's strength had suddenly become so strong, but at this moment it clearly posed a serious danger to the two of them.
Therefore, it seems that Li Jiuhe's strength has greatly increased, which should be related to his being absorbed into the Morning Bell of the Second Seventh.
With a sharp pain in his shoulder, Wang Feng knew he was no match for Li Jiuhe. Upon hearing Li Yi's order, he threw the black soft sword in his hand at Li Jiuhe.
He then turned around, jumped onto the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle sped forward.
The black soft sword seemed to come alive the moment it left his hand, making a turn in the air and stabbing swiftly toward Li Jiuhe's throat.
Li Jiuhe took two steps back, his body leaning to the left as he crossed his feet, dodging the soft sword's attack. He then saw that the soft sword, like the stone man's chains in the Morning Bell space, could actually change direction and continue to attack him from behind.
He was very experienced in dealing with this kind of attack, and he dodged again, then raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of the soft sword.
Almost simultaneously, the blade of the black soft sword was instantly covered with cracks, as if it would explode at any moment.
Li Jiuhe grabbed the sword hilt and threw it violently into an open area on the highway.
With a bang, the soft sword shattered, sending a shower of fragments flying.
Fortunately, no other vehicles were passing by on the road at that time.
After dodging the flying debris, Li Jiuhe was about to continue the pursuit when he suddenly felt the cloth bag he was carrying tremble slightly.
Upon opening the bag, I found a dark brown wooden carving inside, which was trembling slightly, as if it were about to come to life.
The wood carving depicts an extremely obese bald man, with layers of fat piled up on his body, so lifelike that it seems like a real person.
Li Jiuhe was slightly taken aback, subconsciously feeling that this thing was somewhat similar to the Morning Bell of the Second Seventh Day, and might also be a sequence item.
He immediately tried to tighten the cloth bag, but the wooden carving jumped even more violently, as if it were about to jump out at any moment.
Just then, a cold snort came from above.
He was all too familiar with that cold snort; it came from the stone figure holding the bronze weight.
Looking up, Li Jiuhe realized that the invisible morning bell had been following him all along, hovering not far in front of his head.
The two stone figures are also transparent, standing on the left and right sides next to the morning bell on the 27th.
It is likely that only Li Jiuhe, with a sliver of sense, was able to see this scene.
The moment that cold snort came, the fat wooden carving in the cloth bag suddenly became quiet.
