Chapter 257 It’s coming!
Zhang Xueming, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao ignored Mr. Xue's question and didn't even pay attention to the funny scene.
At the moment when the big hole appeared in the ceiling, a red window popped up in front of Zhang Xueming for the first time since the broken system was bound to her, warning: [Alien energy is approaching, 5.2 meters away from the host. Please enter the learning space within 10 seconds to activate the protective shield. 10, 9, 8...]
Zhang Xueming's face suddenly turned cold, and the internal force she had just withdrawn instantly enveloped Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao. She turned her head and said to the brothers, "It's coming! Ayuan, brother, don't resist my internal force!"
Gong Yuanzheng was stunned, and the internal force that enveloped his whole body began to flow like water waves, with a stream of it flowing into the acupuncture points on the palm of his hand.
Gong Yuanzheng was too familiar with this gentle and warm internal force. He had no instinct to resist it at all. He naturally let the internal force flow through his meridians and dantian. He turned around and warned Gong Shangjiao: "The internal force is entering the body. Brother, be prepared."
The sense of aggression and threat brought by this method was too strong, which was more uncomfortable than being wrapped in internal force that did not belong to him. However, Gong Shangjiao gritted his teeth, repeating the words "It's coming" in his heart, and used all his life's willpower to suppress the desire to fight back.
Once the link was established, Zhang Xueming divided his spiritual consciousness into two. Half of his spiritual consciousness entered the learning space after paying spiritual consciousness points, and the other half remained to control the body.
Thanks to the time when she pretended to be unconscious in the clinic, the bored Queen developed the skill of splitting with spiritual consciousness in order to observe the movements of the outside world, and she also made a new discovery: when her inner force connected her with others, the protective shield of the learning space would also include that person in the protection range.
With three seconds left in the countdown, the protective shield popped out successfully, covering the three people.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao did not notice that there was another layer of protection besides the internal force that Zhang Xueming used to wrap around their bodies, but they clearly saw that the three people in the back mountain opposite fell into coma without any warning.
Xue Zhongzi fell on top of Xue Gongzi with a thud, pressing down on Hua Gongzi, who had already lost consciousness. He opened his mouth and uttered a low guttural sound: "Ah."
The flickering flames in the oil lamps on the wall dimmed all at once, as if they were weighed down by an invisible pressure and unable to raise their heads.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao only felt as if there was fog in front of their eyes, gray and approaching them, but they were always separated by five inches.
Obvious ripples appeared in the air, as if something hidden in the gray mist attacked them, but was then slid away by invisible protection.
Zhang Xueming felt his consciousness and internal strength being consumed rapidly, and he spoke to them very quickly: "I can't hold on for long, so I'll make a long story short. Now I can be sure that the power can only descend on the front mountain through a medium, and cannot cause any actual harm to us. I boldly guess that the means it will use on you is to create a plot illusion to pull you in, making you fall into a situation similar to your soul being stuffed into a pre-set puppet, and infect you with the puppet's thoughts and feelings.
Our previous speculation has far exceeded the time I stayed at the palace gate, and the illusion it created will not exceed this time range. Its target is you, and I may not be able to enter the illusion with you.
Therefore, you can only rely on yourselves, stick to your original intentions, and don't be contaminated. I will find out the medium it used this time and destroy it as soon as possible outside. Ayuan, brother, get ready, I'm going to remove the protection. "
Gong Yuanzheng tightly held Zhang Xueming's somewhat cold hand. Gong Shangjiao looked at Zhang Xueming's pale face and the beads of sweat on his forehead, and nodded with a heavy heart.
The two brothers said in unison: "Zhao Zhao, let's retreat."
She smiled brightly, as always, confident and outspoken: "Ayuan, brother, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The soft and warm internal energy was quickly withdrawn from the meridians and dantian. Before the feeling of emptiness had time to surface, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng lost consciousness one after another.
Zhang Xueming flashed in front of the two men and supported them one by one.
She didn't know how much of a commotion it would cause if the medium was destroyed, so to be on the safe side, she planned to put Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao in the innermost cell.
Zhang Xueming bent down and carried the two people on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and walked quickly towards the cell area.
There are only twelve cells here, and they are not arranged in pairs but in an alternating pattern.
Each cell must face a stone wall, and the distance between two adjacent cells is more than one meter.
The door of each cell is a five-inch thick iron door with two iron wheels on it, one big and one small. The big one is used to control the extension and retraction of the iron rod in the iron door, and the small one is used to control the opening of a six-inch square window on the top.
Zhang Xueming chose a cell far away from Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan. He grabbed the large wheel with one hand and retracted the iron rod stuck in the hole in the stone wall into the iron door.
She opened the iron door, slapped it with her palm, and blew the dust in the cell into the corner, then carried Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao in.
The wooden bed placed against the wall was too narrow, so she had to put Gong Shangjiao on it first, and then carried Gong Yuanzheng's wooden bed from the next cell over. She put the two beds together so that the brothers could lie side by side.
Zhang Xueming took out three spirit-replenishing pills from the storage space and ate them. He then took out the small blue pill rewarded by the system that could speed up the recovery of internal energy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally made up his mind and ate it.
Although this medicine can replenish Qi and blood, if it is over-replenished, she will spit blood from time to time, and the duration can last up to a month. But in the face of a powerful enemy, as long as it does not affect her performance, what does it matter if there are some harmless side effects?
Zhang Xueming gently touched Gong Yuanzheng's face, took out a large black iron box rewarded by the system from the storage space, and opened the lid.
She took off the silver leaves, small gourds and small bells from Gong Yuanzheng's braids and put them in the box. She also took off the small bells on her head that Gong Yuanzheng had given her and put them in the box.
Then he took off Gong Yuanzheng's arm guards and the bunch of miscellaneous things on his waist and threw them in, leaving only the purse and the tiger chain.
Gong Shangjiao also did the same, emptying his sleeve pockets, taking off his hair crown, and throwing in his sword seal.
There was no other way. She could only be sure that the new ones were fine. As for the others, she would wait until they were all collected, take them to the storage space, and return them after eliminating any hidden dangers.
Zhang Xueming bent down and kissed Gong Yuanzheng on the forehead, then took the box and went out to lock the door, then searched the unconscious Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian one by one.
Nothing was found on Shangguan Qian, but a pair of flying eagle earrings and a ring with a skylark pattern on a silver chain were found on Yun Weishan.
"A serious criminal was sent to the cell without a body search? Palace gate guards, tsk." Zhang Xueming was speechless about the professionalism of those people.
She frowned as she looked at the earrings, and her memory emerged of what the jackdaw she once caught said, "Crows gather in flocks, while a lone eagle soars in the sky." She also thought of "the sky and the earth are dark yellow," and her eyes brightened.
"So that's why. No wonder she's the heroine." Zhang Xueming curled his lips, threw the earrings into the box, left the cell, and locked it again.
