My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Was this why she had targeted them from the start? For some reason, Lonemoon suddenly could not bring himself to say any words of blame. After all, in her eyes, they had been standing on the opposing side since they were able to come here.

Shen Ying suddenly asked, “It’s the last of the living beings in the city?”

“Why? Is that very hard to believe?” Fang Fang glanced back at her, the mockery in her eyes growing deeper. With a wave of her hand, they only saw a blur before their eyes and instantly, they had arrived at another place, it was the city gate. On the streets beside them, there were still crowds going to and fro, but they seemed completely unaware of their sudden appearance.

“Didn’t you ask for a story? Go out there yourself and verify it!” Fang Fang said with some self-abandonment, and without waiting for their reply, walked out of the city.

The trio exchanged glances and followed. This time, the guards at the gate did not stop them anymore, seemingly unable to see them, they walked on and left the city. The moment they stepped out, the scenery before their eyes instantly changed, the initial green mountains and clear rivers out the city had all disappeared and instantly became nothingness, as if a layer of disguise had been peeled away.

It was two entirely different worlds in and outside of the city, the division appearing just a few meters outside the city gate. It was still a bustling market inside of the city, whereas just several meters outside of the city, it was a boundless void, there was nothing in it, no ground, no sun, not even air, one could only see an endless darkness.

“How did this area…” Even Lonemoon was stunned, not expecting that it was such a situation outside the city, no wonder she wanted to stop them from leaving the city previously. Now that they thought about it in detail, it seemed as though there were many people who walked passed the city gate, there was indeed no one who really left the city.

However, whether it was before they saw the fruit or what they were sensing now, this little world should have been very big? There should be an even bigger world outside, but why is there only a city left?

“Before they locked me here, they’d also locked the void into this place.” As if knowing their queries, she directly answered, “They’d never intended on letting me go, so the void has been constantly swallowing this world, till now, there is only this city left. Before long, this last city might disappear too.” By then her plane would really have died away.

Her gaze became even more defeated, as if she’d come round to something, she sighed and said, “This void is the path to the Big Dao Organization, I lost this time, you all can go!”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing fell silent, subconsciously frowning. Actually, they weren’t very keen on joining that Big Dao Organization, especially after learning about the matters at hand..

However…

Yet Shen Ying suddenly moved closer to the void, squatted down and glanced at a spot before turning back and asking, “That girl who gave the pear, is this the thing that’s locking up your stuff?”

“…” Who’s the girl who gave the pear? Hello?

Also, what thing?

The three of them were stupefied at the same time, wearing blank looks.

“Just that one!” Shen Ying pointed forward, seeing the three still looking wholly confused, she speedily finished up the fruit in her hand, then threw the core towards a certain spot in the void. “That!”

Before they could react, they heard a deafening echo, like the heavenly clock, it instantly sounded through the entire world. The ground beneath their feet shook, it was as if the entire city… no, the entire world trembled.

What was going on! Both Lonemoon and Yi Qing were baffled.

While Fang Fang widened her eyes abruptly, exclaiming with a look of disbelief, “You can see it!”

“Ah!” Shen Ying took out another fruit calmly and nodded. “Isn’t it very obvious” Chained up by such huge shackles.

The three who did not see anything: “…”

“How is this possible!” Fang Fang looked even more shocked. “I…” She’d been searching for a long long time, before any managers arrived, she’d spent all her time in the void, searching for the thing that was locking her and the plane, but she’d gotten nowhere.

Various emotions instantly rose in her heart, there was excitement, agitation, hope but also worry and a trace of despair, extremely complicated. She stared right at Shen Ying, wanted to speak up yet not knowing what to say. “You… You…”

“Do you need me to break it off?” Shen Ying suddenly asked, her tone relaxed and easy, as if she was asking if you needed to eat a fruit.

Fang Fang’s entire being was jolted, looking towards her like she couldn’t fathom her thoughts, great delight flashed across her eyes but they dimmed down within moments, her gaze becoming increasingly complex. “You… want to help me! Why?” She’d only wanted to take their lives from the very beginning.

“Huh?” Shen Ying faltered, seeming she’d just thought of this question and was in a daze for quite a while. Does this require any reason? She could only nudge Lonemoon beside her. “Father Niu, give a reason.”

How would I know? Lonemoon gave her a glare before saying smoothly, “Just take it that we like enjoy meddling in other people’s business?”

Her gaze became even more complicated as her hands fisted together and relaxed repeatedly, the remaining resentment that was initially in her eyes were instantly wiped clean. Closing her eyes, she inhaled deeply, seeming like she had let go of something and said after moments, “Forget it! All of you don’t have to do this, this has nothing to do with you, why seek trouble for yourself.”

She sighed, turning her head to look towards the void before them, as if she was gazing at something through this blanket of darkness. “It’s hopeless for my plane, if you really sympathize with me, don’t let situations like mine happen again after you join the Big Dao Organization.”

She looked down at Shen Ying who was still squatting on the ground, a trace of warmth flashed through her eyes, her mouth opened seeming like she wanted to say something to her but ultimately, she still turned around and said, “Go, all of you, even if you can see, it’s a seal set by a dozen of managers at the same time, how could it be easily…”

A rumble…

Before she could finish, with a loud crash she saw Shen Ying suddenly reach out towards the bottom of the void then pull hard like she had grabbed onto something. The entire world shook harder than it had before, even Fang Fang found it hard to remain standing.

In the next moment, miles of land appeared beneath their feet. The city that was initially right before their eyes was instantly distanced, until it completely left their sight. No! It’s not that the city moved away, but that the void had cleared. They’d been pulled to the border of this new world alongside the border of the void.

Fang Fang felt her whole body become lighter, like some familiar energy instantly returning to her body. She could even sense that the initially weak and almost extinct plane had suddenly regained a hint of vitality. Even the energy that was locking her now had huge gaps in it.
