However, Lin Xinghe did not have time to think deeply. The ruler found the specific location of the devil.
Nearly a hundred hounds were released and ran to the same place practically in unison.
The ruler had long evacuated the crowd and cleared all the streets. The entire population collectively helped the dog-headed monster find the devil.
In less than two hours, the swarm of hounds stopped at the same place.
It was Lin Xinghe’s landing spot – the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
There was an open space in the cemetery that served as a parking lot.
At this moment, all the hounds were gathered in this vacant lot, barking madly.
Lin Xinghe wasn’t alone. She was followed by a group of eager NPCs.
Lin Xinghe thought for a moment and had a backhoe driven over to smash up the clearing. In less than 15 minutes, they broke up the cement and raked up pipes and dark sewers.
Lin Xinghe did not let others follow her down into the sewers.
When she landed, she put away her dog’s head, rode her magic broom, and took the apocalypse exam room’s headlamp from her portable space.
Once she put it on, the dark sewer brightened.
She was shocked.
Ten steps away, there was a hair-wrapped orb, and Ling Xiran’s voice came faintly from inside.
“Jiuge, you wake up!”
“Jiuge, I am Lin Xinghe’s disciple Ling Xiran! Don’t kill me!”
“You wake up quickly!”
The green head did not move at all, probably because of its days-long struggle with Ling Xiran. Although the thing was covered with black hair, its presence felt very weak, leaning against the dirty wall.
Lin Xinghe tried to reach out and touch Jiuge’s hair.
Jiuge remained unresponsive.
Lin Xinghe called, “Jiuge, it’s me, Lin Xinghe.”
Her hand gently touched the orb.
“Jiuge, your hair is dirty, it’s time to wash it. I found a shampoo that not only doesn’t cause hair loss but also regrows hair. One treatment and you can have luscious, thick locks, do you want to have it?”
The stationary orb actually shook.
Lin Xinghe said again, “Jiuge, if you don’t wake up, I’ll pour the shampoo into the sewer.”
The ball suddenly vibrated in place, and the densely wrapped hair began to fall off little by little, gradually revealing the green head Lin Xinghe was familiar with.
Ling Xiran’s appearance also became clear.
Ling Xiran was very surprised and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Xinghe’s silent shaking of her head.
Lin Xinghe smiled with arched eyebrows, “Don’t worry, Jiuge, it’s all reserved for you, don’t worry, no matter what happened in the past, as long as you’re still alive, we can fix everything together. Not to mention, you have a group of good friends.”
The orb vibrated even more.
The green light also gradually dissipated, and only hair remained in mid-air. And Ling Xiran, who was no longer shackled, floated to Lin Xinghe and excitedly shouted, “Master, you’re here!”
Ling Xiran still wanted to say something but saw a head slowly growing out from under the hair, followed by a neck, body, and limbs. Slowly, a tall but thin male emerged.
Lin Xinghe looked at him and was slightly stunned.
She definitely didn’t know the man, but he somehow felt familiar.
He looked both just like Jiuge and nothing like Jiuge at all.
Lin Xinghe quickly took a picture of him.
Ling Xiran unconsciously looked at a certain place and soon moved her gaze.
At this time, the man smiled at Lin Xinghe, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.
At the same time, Lin Xinghe perceived a hint of something different.
The underground waterway previously rang with the sound of gurgling water, but now remained silent. The cell phone Ling Xiran gave her was also gone, and the surrounding environment was evenly eroded by the blinding white light.
Ling Xiran beside her nodded and looked at her palm, and said in a familiar tone, “This world should be ending, I will soon be recalled to the system, I’m glad I was able to help!”
Ling Xiran pounced into Lin Xinghe’s arms, reached out, and hugged her, saying, “Master, go for it!”
Lin Xinghe hugged her back, “I’ll see you outside.”
When the words fell, the white light approached, and Ling Xiran in her arms tilted her head, quirked her eyebrows, and was gradually replaced by the white light. Previously, she was in a dark and damp underground waterway, but now, her environment completely changed. After the white light dissipated, there was a white corridor.
Above the corridor was a strip of lights, illuminating the corridor as bright as day.
On both sides of the corridor were posted red icons that turned to the right.
Previously, at the end of each examination, there would be a prompt from the proctor as well as the appearance of the space-time rift, but now, these didn’t exist. She tried to open the interplanar mall again, but it still didn’t work, and the bracelet was still broken.
Lin Xinghe took out her cell phone, pondered slightly, and sent a message to Jiuge.
Almost at the same time, the sound of a cell phone message came from the other side of the corridor.
Lin Xinghe walked quickly. When she turned right at the end of the corridor, she saw Jiuge sitting weakly against the wall.
Jiuge gave her a thumbs up.
