Chapter 1520 - 1515: Human Plant (24)


Chapter 1520: Chapter 1515: Human Plant (24)

The voice and form remain.

Although it was just a dress, once worn, it instantly bestowed a unique aura upon the wearer.

Fu Qian knew this was not simply a matter of aesthetic sensitivity, because at a glance, although Lady Ji Ning had not yet spoken, each audience member’s face already bore a touch of eerie expression.

Both for the effect when worn, and for the act of putting it on just now.

Firstly, such a strange scene, such a strange location, the sudden appearance of such a dress was indeed abrupt.

After all, even if you take ten thousand steps back, behind the curtain is not a place for hanging clothes.

Meanwhile, Lady Ji Ning, tense and striving for survival, had no hesitation in taking down the dress and wearing it, a decisiveness that was abnormal.

And most importantly, the dress fit her frighteningly well.

A series of changes challenging cognition caused quite a significant impact.

"How is it?"

In this atmosphere, Mr. Li Sr. finally showed the responsibility of the leader and was the first to ask quietly, looking at Ji Ning who was standing silently there.

"It’s indeed what I was looking for, but it’s a bit different from what I imagined..."

Obviously, this dress was far more than a mere visual effect, even Lady Ji Ning’s voice sounded a few shades more deathly silent.

Judging from the previous behavior, she clearly wasn’t deliberately trying such an ill-tasting trick to frighten people.

"... How is it different?"

The old man’s expression was unprecedentedly grave as he continued to ask sternly.

"It really is my dress."

...

"Although I didn’t catch that thing just now, with the help of a special extraordinary item, I left a part of my imprint on it."

After the startling words, Lady Ji Ning did not leave her team to guess and instead explained her previous actions more thoroughly.

"The goal, of course, was to hopefully track it back using this method, even ideally trace it back to the source, but things are far less ideal..."

A long sigh, combined with Ji Ning’s current attire, truly carried a chillingly infectious power.

"Although the imprint can be confirmed unremoved, capturing it has met with some incomprehensible distortion."

"As mentioned before, I can’t sense its location, and only trying to search for traces all around may gather some information."

"And now I am very sure, this indeed is a trace related to my imprint, just that the situation is a bit strange."

"From the first glance of this dress, I knew it belonged to me."

Gently stroking the layered dark floral patterns of the dress, Ji Ning seemed to truly be touched with some embrace of death sensations.

"Putting it on further confirmed it."

...

A trace of the one being tracked, presented directly in the form of a dress?

Lady Ji Ning’s statement was still quite clear, and for a time the team members gained a more direct understanding of the concept of "distortion."

But the more so, the more it left people bewildered.

"I trust Lady Ji Ning’s judgment, but such a trace, it seems to have no particular meaning either?"

As he silently digested the information, Brother Luyi was the first to speak out, expressing the concern in his heart.

And this impatience, it seemed quite understandable.

Though along the way, their erosion marks deepened, it still was far from comparable to the little tree swaying in front of Luyi.

And while the power of photosynthesis grew stronger, Luyi himself was visibly haggard.

His pursuit of a way out was clearly much more urgent than the others at this point.

"At the moment, it seems to be so."

Unfortunately, in response to this emotion, Ji Ning’s tone carried little comforting intent as she casually acknowledged the despairing fact.

"So it’s best if we quickly find more traces next."

...

But if it’s more such traces, what’s the point?

"But..."

Regarding this perilous approach, Luyi’s facial expression had become quite apparent.

"Lady Ji Ning is humble; in my opinion, this is actually quite a meaningful gain."

Yet, just as he was about to say more, it was Fu Qian beside him who suddenly spoke up, offering a more optimistic assessment.

As one of the only two non-High Tier extraordinaries in the team, he clearly never felt insignificant.

"Oh?"

This upbeat attitude even caused a moment of curiosity on Ji Ning’s face, and she looked a bit more like a living person.

"At least, the probability that we’re not in reality is greater, isn’t it?"

In response, Fu Qian only smiled mildly as he retorted.

"That does seem to be..."

The first to respond to Fu Qian’s statement was surprisingly Luyi again.

Murmuring to himself subconsciously, under this alternative angle, his previous anxiety was suddenly eased quite a bit.

Though this theory was already expressed before, from Luyi’s perspective, the sensation was undoubtedly not as strong as the other four.

For him, the whole event was like a newborn with peculiar powers, the attempt to cleanse it caused disturbance, leading to violent distortion of more onlookers.

And if it indeed were a divine-like power, distorting to encompass the entire Em House Palace doesn’t seem unimaginable.

But now, with the imprint directly materialized into a dress, no matter how you look at it, it seemed quite surrealist.

At least, from the feeling aspect, it clearly aligned more with dreamlike psyche.

...

"But even if that’s the case, we should probably find an exit quickly."

As Li Sr. patiently gathered everyone’s opinions, including Aike’s silent reactions, his interim summary showed he also recognized the notion that it might not be reality.

"You should know, in the Supernatural World, the division between reality and dreams is not absolutely separated."

"Using death as an escape should still be the last resort."

Even Lady Ji Ning had proven, pure will alone couldn’t escape through death.

To this final point, Fu Qian mentally added a note.

Perhaps to avoid dampening morale further, the initial testing content conducted with Ji Ning seemed something the old man decided not to disclose to Luyi.

"I agree, the cries are gradually getting louder again."

Having focused his gaze for quite some time on Ji Ning’s long dress, Aike finally shared his opinion.

"From Brother Luyi’s words, we know he was in the same situation, even if the thing originally tracking him is now being tracked by us."

"Also, these things are clearly not just one, trying to curb the erosion through elimination doesn’t seem possible."

"Okay, let’s continue now."

This time, without waiting to consult the leader’s opinion, once Aike finished speaking, Ji Ning just turned away and resumed the journey.

She didn’t even consider removing the dress of mourning.
