Arriving at the door of Ariel's room, Lily saw that the door was open and thought Xiu was inside, so she called Xiu's name, but she didn't get a response, which made her a little strange.
But when Lily saw the layout of the room clearly, she couldn't see Xiu, so she couldn't help but become more confused.
"Ander, where's Xiu?"
Lily didn't waste any time. After entering Ariel's room with Dunn, she began to observe carefully and checked with Ender about Xiu's condition.
"I'm not sure. After I asked Sister Xiu to find the bathroom, Sister Xiu just said she would look for it again, and I went to the basement."
After listening to Ander's description, Lily nodded and then said:
"Leave this place to me and Dunn. Ender, go find Xiu and bring her here."
"Okay." Although he was full of anxiety, what he could do now was very limited, so Ander chose to follow his sister's arrangement, turned around and went out to look for Xiu Zai.
After Ander left, Dunn pointed to the bed and said:
"The bulge in the quilt really stuck out to me. I felt like Ariel had slept there."
"But she never left..." Lily's face was solemn.
If Ariel wanted to get up from the bed and leave, then at least the corner of the quilt near the floor should be lifted to allow people to come out. I believe no one would choose to crawl out from under the quilt with minimal movement.
"But she disappeared." Dunn looked around again to make sure he found nothing more.
"After eliminating all possibilities, there is only one possibility." Dunn grabbed his curly hair and looked at Lily and said.
"You mean..."
"What you mentioned, the power of superheroes." Dunn gave the answer, but he continued without stopping:
"Ariel had no motive to leave the orphanage on her own initiative, and the windows were locked. Taken together, it's like Ariel... just disappeared."
Lily felt her heart skip a beat.
In that case, it can be divided into two situations now.
One is that Ariel became a guest, but went to another place because she couldn't control her abilities. This may be relatively okay, if...if Ariel was taken away because of the coming of age ceremony. If you "wipe it off" and reach that world but fail to come back...
Lily felt that she could no longer think about it.
Lily knew that Ariel's birthday was inaccurate.
"What should we do now?" Dunn thought it would be more efficient to let Lily, who had enough advance information, make the decision.
"First of all, let me tell everyone to meet on the third floor at 10 o'clock. I probably understand what happened with Ariel's disappearance, so I don't need to worry about her for the time being." Maintaining her expression, Lily tried to act as normal as possible.
Dunn looked at the clock in Ariel's room, bared his teeth, left Ariel's room with a good word, and ran out of Ariel's room to start looking for everyone. He only had 15 minutes.
————————————
Xia Kingdom, the magical capital.
Ariel, who was wearing pajamas, was shivering and hiding in a corner on the roof of a residential building that was only about 10 stories high.
She probably understood what she had experienced, but she didn't understand what she had experienced.
This sounds like a tongue twister, but it is the truth.
Last night, she was lying on her bed sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a violent fall and a feeling of weightlessness swept through her body and mind. She was forced to turn on her phone and she didn't even understand what was happening. She could only cry in fear. He yelled while watching helplessly as he fell through door after door again and again.
Ariel felt like she was going to hit the door in front of her every time, but every time the doors would open within a hair's breadth and let her pass through.
It wasn't until she finally came to her senses and restrained her inner fear a little that she fell through a double door again, caught a glimpse of the door with two lengths of red paper on it, and saw clearly the world behind the door. .
It was a world with very mixed colors but intuitively giving people a sense of emptiness and silence. It was a world where strange floating bodies of unknown origin were wandering around. It was a world where 22 rays of light shone in the farthest distance.
Before Ariel could take a second look, she fell into the next door, but she discovered that the colorful and extremely pure world behind each door was a little different. The location of the 22 rays of light. There is always change, too.
boom!
Ariel bumped into a door. This time, the door did not open to let her pass. Ariel, who had been worried about hitting the door, had always adopted a protective posture, so although she was slightly hurt by the collision, , but also protected himself from injury.
Slowly sitting up, Ariel first rubbed the half of her body that hit the door panel, and then looked at the surroundings and the door under her.
The surroundings are still that strange world with mottled and rich colors, something strange is floating back and forth, and there are still those 22 rays of light hanging far away.
Ariel discovered that although the color block in this space was very rich, it still could not block the penetration of the 22 rays of light from very far away.
What Ariel didn't notice was that when she saw the 22 rays of light for the first time, she knew intuitively that they were 22 rays, not 21 or 23. How could she possibly be in such a weightless falling state? The mood to confirm the quantity of those brilliance.
Ariel began to lower his head and look at the door under him.
This is a wooden door made of multiple wooden boards. Because the colors in this space are mixed, Ariel really can't tell what color the wooden door is, but there seems to be something stuck on the door beneath her body?
So she moved her position carefully, trying to see what the paper under her was.
After she moved some distance, she finally saw what was stuck on the wooden door - it was a square piece of paper stuck diagonally on the wooden door. The length and width of the paper were about 20 centimeters.
The paper showed a very obvious red color in this space, and there were very conspicuous black square characters on the red color.
If Lily were here, she could easily identify these two words, two words that Liu Shiqin had mentioned many times - guest.
"What word is this?" The big red block made Ariel's eyes hurt a little, and she turned away, but she still saw the two square words, and she subconsciously tried to write them in her mind.
After putting down the last stroke, Ariel suddenly felt like her body was empty. Before she could react, she fell on some hard surface again.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Ariel almost cried.
But the next second, a cold wind blew by, making her shiver.
"Wind?" Ariel looked up and looked around in confusion.
Far in front of her, she saw a huge tornado covering the sky and the earth, stretching between the sky and the earth.
