As the front wheels of the car rolled over the hospital entrance, the driver subconsciously sighed in relief. In their understanding, or rather, based on their habits and experiences, anything unusual could happen in a hospital.
There was one crucial point: after leaving the school, practically anything became problem-free for them!
In other words, at the moment of leaving the school, everything came to a complete end!
Regardless of the situation or the choices made, it all concluded at that very moment!
Many times, many things, for them, this was the end.
However… just at this moment, just as he relaxed for a brief moment, the driver suddenly felt the car stop!
Not the kind of stop when the engine was off, but the entire car seemed to be suspended in mid-air!
The wheels had no contact with the ground whatsoever!
At this moment, the driver was completely dumbfounded!
Not only him, but the person next to him was also stunned!
However, Li Yidao remained calm!
He noticed that just now, the massive fused soul had rushed towards them!
It actually lifted the entire hearse!
Or rather, it lifted the hearse off the ground, making all four wheels lose contact with the surface!
At this sight, Li Yidao’s expression momentarily froze!
Was there such an operation?
Li Yidao took a deep breath, but he didn’t use the Blade of Death!
Because just when he planned to use Soul Seizure, the system’s prompt showed lifespan consumption with several question marks!
What did that represent? It signified uncertainty!
In other words, under normal circumstances, this was a continuous lifespan consumption!
What the final result would be, no one knew.
It could only be determined during real combat or when the skill is activated!
But…
Could Li Yidao use Soul Seizure now?
He didn’t know!
He took a deep breath.
If it could be avoided, Li Yidao would choose not to use it for the time being!
The unknown situation posed significant problems for Li Yidao!
He directly took out a talisman from his pocket.
The same talisman he used before. Without saying a word, he threw it out!
“Roar…”
A roar echoed from the darkness!
Even the two remaining people on the hearse seemed to hear it.
Their expressions were completely filled with terror!
Fortunately.
Li Yidao’s talisman created a buffer for the opponent’s attack!
The car regained control!
Without a second word, the driver stepped on the gas!
At this point, everyone knew what to do!
Run!
The only choice was to run!
However…
When Li Yidao observed through Soul Detection.
His expression darkened once again.
The opponent actually chased them!
It was not confined by the hospital!
And…
Whether it was Li Yidao’s illusion or not, he felt that the opponent seemed to…
continuously absorb the aura of the surrounding lingering souls, constantly growing stronger!
F*ck!
Not only did the opponent’s strength not diminish, but it was actually gradually increasing!
At this rate… how could he escape?
No wonder when he just used Soul Seizure, the prompt indicated an unknown lifespan consumption!
The opponent was continuously replenishing itself, naturally causing the lifespan consumption to gradually increase!
Li Yidao pondered. In the current situation, could he still run to the Funeral Parlor?
If he really went to the Funeral Parlor, bringing this creature along.
Wouldn’t it be like delivering food to it?
Li Yidao was truly perplexed. What kind of existence could create such a horrifying monster?
Now, was there no need for any disguise?
Did it just attack like this?
However…
Although he was curious, for him, the only thing he could do, or rather, should do, was to escape at the first opportunity!
There must be a solution to this problem, right? He wouldn’t really be crushed by the opponent directly, would he?
If things got really bad, he could only seek out the old man!
After some thought, he decided to trust Unit 36!
Didn’t Qi Yuqiang say that if encountering an unsolvable crisis, just run to them?
This… should be considered an unsolvable crisis, right?
The opponent should have a response to this kind of situation, shouldn’t they?
He glanced at the panicked driver and then shouted loudly, “Head northwest to Fanzhong Road!”
This road led to the base of Unit 36 in Jiang City.
Not only that, according to Qi Yuqiang, there were many powerhouses stationed in this base now!
Because Li Yidao was the catalyst for this event, many enemies were after him.
Jiang City naturally became a defensive stronghold second only to the capital!
There were also many big shots in this base!
The driver, upon hearing Li Yidao’s shout, was also momentarily stunned!
Originally, his route was back to the Funeral Parlor.
It was an instinct.
However, upon hearing Li Yidao’s shout, he only hesitated for a moment before decisively turning the steering wheel!
Then, stepping on the gas, he rushed toward the direction indicated by Li Yidao!
Just as the hearse drove about five hundred meters away, Li Yidao noticed that the eerie presence behind him was still there.
However, it seemed like the opponent’s speed had slowed down, as if intentionally following behind him.
This was quite strange!
In the beginning, the opponent’s speed was quite fast, but now it seemed to have slowed down.
Could it be that someone behind was controlling this eerie presence?
What was the purpose of the opponent?
For a moment, Li Yidao found himself deep in thought.
So much had happened recently.
Now he had to think more thoroughly and comprehensively.
While Li Yidao was contemplating, the person in the front row turned to look at Li Yidao, his mouth filled with panic. “Dao… Brother Dao… we seem to be trapped…”
Li Yidao was puzzled.
They were currently driving, weren’t they?
And he could observe that the eerie presence behind them still maintained a certain distance.
What did they mean by being trapped?
However, Li Yidao soon understood! They were caught in a loop! Li Yidao noticed that the road sign they had just passed appeared again in less than three seconds!
Not only that, even if the driver chose to turn, they still ended up on the same street.
Li Yidao’s eyes gradually turned cold. “Hehe… Another trap? Was it intentionally set by the opponent, or did they coincidentally seize an opportunity? Could it be that the system deliberately collaborated with the opponent to set a trap for him?”
After all, if it weren’t for the temporary mission prompt from the system, Li Yidao would definitely not have come to oversee Wang Qiang’s funeral.
This was certain!
However, now… precisely because of the system’s task, Li Yidao came.
In the end, he encountered so many things. Was it really just a coincidence?
Li Yidao didn’t know and didn’t want to dwell on it. His identity had already changed, and encountering danger was quite normal now.
He was now contemplating how to escape from this danger.
At this moment, he remained exceptionally calm, continuously strategizing. He noticed that the eerie presence behind him was still following.
Could it be that the entity causing their situation of being trapped and the eerie presence behind him were not working together?
It wasn’t just himself caught in this loop; even the terror behind them was in a similar situation?
Heh… this was getting interesting. The more Li Yidao thought about it, the more he felt that this situation was becoming increasingly mysterious.
He took out his phone and checked. As expected, there was no signal. As anticipated, he felt that contacting Qi Yuqiang immediately was a wise move.
He explained the situation to Qi Yuqiang, so even if he couldn’t be contacted now, Qi Yuqiang would know his situation.
Once Qi Yuqiang sensed that he was in danger, he would definitely intervene.
Even if Qi Yuqiang couldn’t handle it, he would inform the old man.
In Li Yidao’s current understanding, there probably wasn’t anything the old man couldn’t handle! “Keep driving, don’t stop, no need to hurry, we are safe for now.”
Li Yidao noticed that the driver was already drenched in sweat, and the other person wasn’t in much better shape.
Li Yidao’s purpose in commanding them wasn’t to find a solution; it was to give them a direction, something they could do.
In reality, stopping or continuing to drive at this point didn’t make much sense.
They would inevitably face a battle, and the outcome depended on whether the enemy’s strength was illusory, confusing everyone, or if they had truly set up an airtight net!
However, in Li Yidao’s opinion, he still believed that all of this was just a coincidence.
The eerie presence behind him might be deliberately manipulated by someone, but the current situation of being trapped in a loop… the opponent wouldn’t have prepared so thoroughly, right?
After all, this was in China, within the borders of this country, and in Jiang City, which was prioritized by Unit 36!
Could the opponent really make so many arrangements specifically targeting Li Yidao?
It seemed highly unlikely!
