False evidence

Chapter 510 Enemy Situation
In this situation, choosing to jump, and in such a seemingly unreliable way, was not because I was out of my mind.

Before entering the coffin door, a multitude of fragmented images flooded my mind. Not long ago, through piecing together some of these images, I not only learned of Lü Xin's secret but also vaguely received some unexpected information.

The assembled images felt as if they weren't from the outside world, but rather from memories sealed deep within my mind. Although only a very small part was pieced together, it left me with no doubt about the authenticity of the events depicted.

Just now, fragments of memory inexplicably pieced together a picture.

However, the previous scenes were about Lü Xin's past, but this time it shows the future, or rather, the scene that is about to happen right now.

The two images, spanning nearly a century, seemed to be ingrained in my memory from the very beginning. I can't explain why, but the moment the image appeared, I felt a strong sense of urgency—the opportunity was fleeting, and missing it might affect the outcome of the entire event.

This so-called ending concerns the thing I care about most. So, I made a decisive decision, ignoring the many uncertainties, and was willing to take the risk.

Gritting my teeth, I jumped out of the secret passage, chanting "Amitabha" in my heart. Regardless of whether my feelings were right or wrong, at this critical juncture, I absolutely could not make a mistake in my judgment of Lü Xin!

Fortunately, the situation I feared did not occur. With one hand, I caught the front end of the belt that Lü Xin had thrown out.

The moment we began to fall, Lü Xin moved. He had clearly used a clever technique, but also displayed his true skill. The combined weight of Fang Ling and me was suspended by a light cloth strap, so there was no fear of falling, and we landed smoothly on the platform in a very short time with relative speed.

I loosened my belt, wrapped my arms around Fang Ling, spun around twice, and darted behind a furnace on the left, close to the wall.

It was impossible to tell whether the furnace was carved from stone or fired from clay. From above, it did not appear large, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be nearly one and a half meters tall and more than one meter in diameter, large enough to conceal the figures of two people.

I squatted down behind the furnace and immediately covered Fang Ling's mouth. Only when my palm touched her soft lips did I hear her make a soft "mmm" sound.

I secretly thought how close I had come to disaster. If it were a normal person, they definitely wouldn't have been so "cooperative" with me after being suddenly confronted with something like this. Fang Ling has intellectual disabilities and reacts slowly. When I jumped down with her in my arms, she was so terrified that she didn't scream. Now she wanted to scream, but I stopped her in time.

I simply covered her mouth, didn't look at her, and immediately turned my head to look upwards.

Lu Xin followed, but instead of using the belt, he relied solely on his formidable martial arts skills, like a gecko, to quickly "dart" down the wall with his back against it.

Seeing that he was about to reach the bottom, I instinctively wanted to give him instructions, but before I could act, he suddenly darted sideways for five or six meters along the wall and landed right next to me and Fang Ling.

"Awesome!" I was truly stunned by the skill he displayed.

Lu Xin glanced at Fang Ling, then gave me a thumbs up: "You're not bad either. You actually know how to spot the problem, and you even seized the opportunity so accurately."

"Likewise." I felt ashamed inwardly, and it was only now that I truly understood what was going on.

Our safe landing was entirely due to the special circumstances and environment.

Not only was there a difference in elevation between the platform and the ground, but the hall was also spacious, with most of the people below kneeling and prostrating themselves on the ground.

Old Sun was supporting Tang Lin, who was dressed as a demon queen. Although they were facing this direction, the only light source in the hall was the two cauldrons on the platform.

Although the firelight was bright, it was not as powerful as the fluorescent lights that spread out in all directions. As it flickered, it could illuminate almost four-fifths of the entire hall, but it could not reach the corners. Due to the special nature of the firelight, it was even more difficult to illuminate the walls at this height.

Therefore, as we descended along the back wall of the platform, the area illuminated was less than two meters in the middle. If we timed our speed precisely, we wouldn't be spotted by the people below. "Have you figured out who we're trying to rescue?" At this moment, Lü Xin showed no sign of panic, only unusual excitement.

I winked at him: "Feeling like you've finally made your presence felt?"

“Damn it, absolutely!” Lu Xin raised an eyebrow at me as well, and in a few quick movements, he silently tied the belt he had been clutching in his hand back around his waist under his moon-white robe.

Watching him move, I was terrified. This guy was originally a consciousness, but now he can not only act like a living person, but he can also use his own "equipment" to suspend Fang Ling and me, two real living people... How is his existence any different from that of a normal person at this moment?

Lu Xin stared intently at me for a while, then suddenly said, "If the Void Realm can truly allow me to be 'reborn,' please grant my request!"

Her peach blossom eyes reddened slightly, and she said softly, "It feels so good to be alive."

"We'll talk about it when we get home!" I nodded to him, then turned to Fang Ling and said, "Don't say a word." I lightly touched her lips with my index finger, then completely withdrew my hand from her mouth.

Fang Ling wasn't terrified, but she cooperated perfectly, not making a sound. She just nestled in my arms, shrinking into herself like a rabbit trying to escape a falcon, her big eyes darting around in fear.

I peeked down from the stage and saw Old Man Sun supporting the "Demon Queen," still some distance from the platform. He whispered, "I haven't seen any of the people we're looking for yet. But I think if we have to take one more person with us this time, that person should be..."

"Tang Lin!"

"Tang Lin!" Lu Xin said the name at the same time, then nodded at me with a smile.

Judging from his expression, he seemed excited and immediately expressed his opinion without any reservation.

However, just as he turned to me again, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He had a smile on his lips, but after nodding, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned downwards, and his eyes rolled upwards.

Fang Ling's eyes are bigger than mine, but right now her attention is completely... impossible to concentrate on.

I could see clearly that before Lü Xin's eyes rolled upward, they already revealed extreme fear!

"grass!"

I cursed almost silently, my legs tensing as I pressed Fang Ling down with one hand and pulled the Yin-Yang Fan out of my bag with the other.

Although I haven't known Lü Xin for very long, and he's incredibly hypocritical, through our conscious interactions, I've already grasped the habits and subtleties of his reactions.

At this moment, his eyes rolled upwards, and he still had that same expression.

That would be tantamount to telling me, "There's an enemy situation above us!"
