NOVEL NEXT Chapter 227: How Much Is "For Joy"? (Part 6)
Think of something, Bai Yi!
You are the smartest...
Ah! Got it!!
In the next second, Bai Yi's starry eyes suddenly brightened.
She immediately stood up, pulling out a pocket watch from her bosom.
Glancing at the stopped hour hand, Bai Yi's face looked troubled.
"Ah ah ah, whatever!! Saving people is more urgent!!"
But then, she still showed determination and pressed down the hour hand above.
"Tick... Tock!"
In an instant, the hour hand spun crazily.
Time pause, activated.
An invisible ripple erupted from Bai Yi's pocket watch like a nuclear blast, making Bai Yi's hair sway wildly.
Originally, the moment it reached the outside world, everything would be frozen.
But now, upon contacting Sakuragi Hitomi's barrier, it only caused a destructive impact.
The time pause and the expanding barrier cancelled each other out.
"Crack crack crack!!"
As the entire barrier was destroyed, Sakuragi Hitomi's split instantly stopped, gradually returning to normal.
Scattered masks floated up, flying back into Sakuragi Hitomi's body.
Perhaps...
One day in the future, when Sakuragi Hitomi has enough masks, and each barrier covers a wide enough range, she can fully open a barrier outdoors to cover the whole world?
But at least, not today.
Just like last time, the expanding barriers shattered, revealing five scattered light points around.
These were the light points representing other barriers.
Between the light points was a thin, distorted space leading to unknown places.
"Spencer... quickly, come to us, or you'll fall somewhere else!!"
Holding the pocket watch, Bai Yi cried out in panic.
"Alrighty!"
But as Spencer ran over, the next second, Bai Yi's expression suddenly froze.
"Ugh!!"
As the time pause effect destroyed the barrier, Bai Yi instantly clutched her abdomen, vomiting uncontrollably.
It wasn't just stomach acid, it seemed like her internal organs, her blood were all going to be expelled.
The intense pain left her unable to get up, forcing her to curl up on the ground, groaning constantly...
"It hurts... ah... ahhh... so painful..."
...
...
"Meow-chan, look at the fireworks!"
"Meow~"
Time slightly rewinding, as the "Fireworks" in his hand condensed, he coldly chuckled, flicking it effortlessly, and the fireworks flew out instantly.
"Crack crack crack!!"
With the invisible ripples, the fireworks flew together towards the assassin, who wanted to open the safety, but it was already too late.
He fearfully realized...
He couldn't open the safety.
Because opening the safety to shoot defies common sense.
Common sense?
The assassin paused, looking at the increasingly larger fireworks coming towards him, he instinctively turned to flee.
"Tick... Tock!!"
But at the moment he turned, another ripple spread like a nuclear explosion, covering the surrounding space.
The surrounding barriers instantly collapsed, causing his path to vanish into void.
Turning his head, he found himself weightless, being sucked into the whirlpool beneath him.
Below was an ancient room.
The increasingly larger fireworks also followed him, flying through the turbulence from the collapsed barrier.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Crack crack crack!!"
At this moment, the Sakuragi Mansion.
Sakuragi Yoshi, who was about to fall asleep, seemed to hear some strange noises.
He opened his eyes, only to see that the space in front of him, as if an illusion, produced a few cracks.
He rubbed his eyes, inspected closely.
He saw that within those increasingly larger cracks, unexpectedly appeared the face of a familiar person.
It was the assassin he hired.
"You... why are you back?"
