Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 132 - 98: Has Master Turtle Gone Cold? Fox Mountain on Mission—Absolute Silence Required!
"So cold."
In the luxurious suite, Master Turtle was lying on the bed, suddenly uttering these words in his sleep.
Xiaohong and Xiaocui, who were beside him, quickly helped cover him with a quilt.
This was a silk down quilt, light, smooth, soft, and warm, expensive too.
But the still-groggy Master Turtle still felt cold... His hand, which was clearly placed in the warm quilt, seemed to be immersed in ice water, becoming cold, numb, slowly losing sensation.
In a hazy, dazed state, he suddenly realized that when he had been doing a divination for Chen Anjing earlier, the wall he held onto might not have been a wall at all... If the causal line were thick and distorted enough, would it feel like a wall to the touch?
At this moment, he knew the answer was... yes.
And what would happen if one touched such a causal line for a long time?
At this moment, he knew the answer was... the hand would become cold.
This icy sensation spread from his hand to his wrist, from his wrist to his arm, to his shoulder, gradually permeating his entire body. His consciousness grew dimmer and dimmer.
He felt Xiaohong’s fine soft hands adjusting the quilt for him. Xiaocui’s deft hands fluffing his pillow.
As long as he called for help, Xiaohong and Xiaocui could immediately get someone to rescue him.
But... he only felt too cold, too tired, too sleepy; he couldn’t open his mouth, there was no strength in his throat, he couldn’t open his eyes, couldn’t send out any signal, any sound.
The cold and numb sensation had already submerged his chest, drowned his heart...
He couldn’t feel his own heartbeat anymore.
...
"Oh dear, I heard you did another divination for Anjing, you’ve worked hard, Master Turtle!"
It was Poison Master Wang E, grinning widely, carrying a pot of freshly stewed soup, walking into the luxurious suite.
"Shh!"
Xiaohong and Xiaocui came out of the suite’s inner chamber and stopped him.
Xiaohong lowered her voice.
"Master Turtle spent too much effort on Chen Anjing’s divination and is sleeping now. Don’t disturb him."
Poison Master Wang E awkwardly smiled and lowered his voice too.
"Okay, okay.
"But... wasn’t the divination two days ago?
"Master Turtle is still sleeping?"
Xiaohong nodded.
"Yes, he’s still sleeping.
"It’s normal for him to sleep more, divination is such a mentally exhausting thing, isn’t it?"
Wang E twitched his mouth.
"Then he hasn’t eaten anything for two days?"
Xiaohong spoke matter-of-factly.
"He’s so old, of course, he doesn’t eat much."
Wang E still felt something was off.
"But why can’t I hear his breathing?"
Xiaohong was slightly surprised.
"What do you mean?
"He doesn’t snore or breathe heavily in his sleep, what could you hear?"
Wang E frowned.
He was a Soup Man from Sequence Eight, with senses sharper than ordinary people, able to hear normal breathing sounds! Being this close, yet he couldn’t hear Master Turtle breathing, it wasn’t normal!
"No... could it be his old injury has relapsed?"
Wang E hurriedly crossed Xiaohong and Xiaocui, rushing into the inner chamber, to Master Turtle’s bedside, directly reaching into the quilt, trying to feel Master Turtle’s pulse.
But before he could reach the wrist, he only felt the temperature in the quilt, only touched Master Turtle’s arm, and his expression changed drastically!
"Damn!
"He’s been dead cold for ages!"
Wang E turned back to see Xiaohong and Xiaocui’s pale, frightened faces and sighed deeply, not bothering to deal with these two idiots any longer! The most important thing now was Chen Anjing! Since something went wrong with Master Turtle, then the divination he did for Chen Anjing might have problems!
Wang E immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Anjing. Using the Dark World’s official software, he sent the most urgent "Electric Shock Secret Message"! As the name suggests, when the recipient’s phone receives this message, it releases a slight electric current, shocking the recipient to ensure they will take out the phone to look.
[Master Turtle’s divination has problems, return immediately!]
But quickly, Wang E’s phone popped up a notification.
[The recipient is not in the service area]
"What the hell, this is satellite signal, how can it say not in service area?
"Did Chen Anjing go to the damn moon?
"What on earth is going on?"
Suddenly, Wang E saw the time on the top left of the phone screen.
June 7th, morning, eight o’clock.
...
West Zhou City No. 47 Middle School.
The morning breeze was still cool, crowds flowed outside the school gates, it was especially lively.
Students from each class were gathering, listening to the homeroom teacher’s final instructions.
"Everyone don’t get too nervous, just treat it as a regular exam.
"I’m straight telling you, this college entrance exam paper is simpler than the usual ones you do..."
As Teacher Chen spoke, in the crowd of students, Bai Mo saw a special truck in the distance.
"What is that for?"
Beside Bai Mo, Zhang Shan answered.
"That’s a high-power signal-blocking vehicle, specialized equipment newly implemented for this year’s college entrance exam.
"I heard it’s amazing, can block the whole school and even satellite signals, to prevent any high-tech cheating methods."
Bai Mo nodded.
"I see."
Teacher Chen continued encouraging and cheering on the students. She spoke lightly, but the students in the class, each had tense expressions, finding it hard to relax.
The class monitor Fang Yuan and her boyfriend Zhang Jian even looked pale, holding hands to encourage each other. At this time, Teacher Chen saw them but pretended not to.
It was Zhang Shan, however, who had a full smile, feeling very smug.
The college entrance exam is just to get into university, right? And university is just to get a job, right?
And here he was, Zhang Shan, directly in, without waiting for the exam, already having a permanent staff job, feeling absolutely great!
