#510 - Chapter 509 A Letter
The thought made Li Chenqiu's heart sink, and his face immediately turned ugly. If it wasn't his second brother who had locked him up here, then the problem was a big one.
Anyone who could seal his abilities must be stronger than him. If it wasn't his second brother, then escaping would be difficult!
“Damn it, how did I suddenly get caught here? Time is running out, I need to find a way out quickly!”
Li Chenqiu frowned, and with a thought, he tried to summon Ember from his spatial ring, but then he made another major discovery.
“Where’s my spatial ring??!”
Li Chenqiu's face turned pale instantly, and he frantically searched his body.
The Finishing Touch, Soul-Devouring Pearl, Seal God Scroll, Ember… all of these were in the spatial ring. If the spatial ring was lost or taken away, he would be completely done for!
“No, I always kept it in my palm, how could it be gone? It can't be gone! Could it be that my senses are off, and the spatial ring is actually still there?”
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked to the bed, aimed his palm at the protruding sharp corner,
and slammed down hard.
Bang!
The small wooden bed swayed, but his palm was completely unharmed.
“This… how is this possible?”
Li Chenqiu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
With such force, it was impossible not to even leave a scar. Was he seeing ghosts?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He slammed it three more times in a row, and looking down, there wasn't even a mark on his palm, let alone any bleeding.
In the next few minutes, Li Chenqiu tried everything he could to break his palm and retrieve the spatial ring hidden in his flesh, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't injure that area of skin.
In addition, he also tried to find a breakthrough point from other parts of his body, but still to no avail. At this moment, his body was like an indestructible diamond, with no weaknesses at all.
Bang!
Li Chenqiu punched the wooden door heavily, and dust fell down. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Who are you, and why are you trapping me here!”
Silence all around.
“Huff huff huff~~~~”
Li Chenqiu took a deep breath, his chest, which was heaving violently, gradually calmed down. He walked to the window and looked outside.
Outside the window, it was dark and lightless. Whether it was the sky or the earth, it was as if they had been splashed with ink, and nothing could be seen, but not everything was black.
To the left front and right front of the cabin, there were two small bungalows with lights on. The doors and windows of the house on the left front were tightly closed, and the door of the house on the right front was open, but due to the angle, he couldn't see inside.
Li Chenqiu had previously tried to escape through the window, but the window, like the door, could not be opened at all. He had also tried to shout, but the only response he received was deathly silence.
“What the hell is this place…” Li Chenqiu's face was gloomy, and his brows were filled with thick clouds.
…
As night was about to fall, the Broken Sand seized its tail and came to a public pier to dock.
The surviving crew members of the Spirit Fish, at Chen Qianfan's call, left their posts and gathered on the deck, standing in an orderly row.
“Brother Chen, the ship has docked, can we leave now!” someone asked expectantly.
Chen Qianfan swept his eyes sideways, and seeing that everyone had arrived, he nodded and smiled, “Yes, you are leaving. Never meet someone like me in your next life.”
He raised his hand and waved it casually, and several balls of flames rose on the spot. The crew members standing in a row didn't even have time to make a sound before they were burned to ashes and disappeared into the wind.
After dealing with the few people, Chen Qianfan put his hands in his pockets, took a step, and his figure merged into the night.
He planned to wander around here for a while, and then give Li Chenqiu a big surprise, a surprise that would completely destroy his hope!
…
City 178, Sea Chestnut Hotel.
On the soft and clean bedding, Li Chenqiu lay quietly, his chest rising and falling slightly, his breathing long and distant, looking very peaceful.
Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling…
The mobile phone alarm clock that Chen Qianfan had set in advance rang by the pillow, breaking the silence of the room.
Scaring Li Chenqiu, his closed eyes widened instantly, his heart tightened and then relaxed, and his trembling pupils stared tightly at the ceiling.
Whoosh!
He quickly sat up, looked around, and his sharp eyes swept over every corner of the room.
“I was… released?” Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, his thoughts returning to a few minutes ago.
At that time, he was lying on the bed thinking about how to escape, when suddenly the tightly closed door made a “creaking” sound, and then was opened by the cold wind blowing from the outside.
With a nervous and uneasy mood, he came to the open door, saw the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, and the house on the right front whose door was already closed, and then…
“I walked out, the scene changed, and when I opened my eyes, I was here.”
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Chenqiu quickly closed his eyes and mobilized his own consciousness, integrating it into his limbs.
The Endless is there, Absolute Control is there, Seventy-Two Transformations is there… the abilities are all there, the power is all restored, the spatial ring… the spatial ring is still not there!
In an instant, the joy on Li Chenqiu's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He frowned and stood up, glanced at the electronic calendar fixed on the wall, and after seeing that less than twenty-four hours had passed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“Although the spatial ring is lost, there is still plenty of time. As long as I find it in time, it won't be too bad.”
Li Chenqiu comforted himself in his heart, walked to the balcony, and looked down.
What came into view was the sky near dawn, buildings of different heights, scattered vehicles, and empty, deserted streets.
Looking at this scene, Li Chenqiu came to three conclusions in an instant.
He is now in a city.
Winter days dawn late, so it should be six to seven in the morning now.
No one is supervising him, so the person who locked him up is not from the An Tong Division.
“What exactly is going on, I should be in the Sand Sea!” Li Chenqiu squatted down, holding his head.
Headache!
There are too many doubts!
There are too many things to solve!
More importantly, there is not a single clue!
Buzz buzz buzz——
The tinnitus was getting louder and louder, and Li Chenqiu patted his head hard to relieve the symptoms.
“Sigh~~~”
He sighed wearily, stood up, leaning against the wall, walked to the bed, and was about to search for some information through his mobile phone to determine his location, when his line of sight was firmly grabbed by the bedside table due to an inadvertent sweep, or rather, the envelope placed on the bedside table.
“A letter?”
Li Chenqiu picked up the envelope, and seeing that there was no special information on the envelope, he opened it directly, took out the horizontally folded letter paper inside, quickly unfolded it, and stared intently.
