Chapter 7: Escaping from Van Crouch (3)

  He looked really awkward in that outfit, so he said awkwardly, "I'll just have to make do, it's better than the beggar's clothes anyway. I'll figure out a way to get some wizard robes when I get back to Elrandir Castle."

  "Take me with you." Little Wheat was still begging.

  I've softened up, Big P doesn't disagree. Just then, a fierce knocking sound came from outside, someone shouted: "They're inside, don't let them escape"

  "Those two people are witches, caught and burned with fire."

  "Cut them down with a knife, so those wizards will never dare come to Vankeer again."

  "Wheat boy, open the door for me, or I'll break your legs"

  ……

  The knocking sound grew louder and more intense, then Big P came over, grasped my hand and said "Let's go".

  He took me back to the big mountain beside the city again.

  There is no wheat.

  I pushed him away and said, "Don't you have any humanity? Xiao Mai helped us."

  Big P shook his head and said, "You don't understand, she was born here, so she can only belong to this place, we can't take her away no matter what."

  "I don't understand," I said angrily.

  "To put it bluntly, she's just a character in the game. Her whole life has been designed by others from the very beginning. Without this part, do you understand?"

  "I still don't understand!" I shouted.

  The sky has darkened and the sun has set. I sat down with my knees together and said to Big P, "I'm tired of playing, I want to go home. Can you take us back?"

  Big P said hastily: "The top priority now is to return to Elandor Castle, otherwise the game will not be able to end. We can only find our way back from Elandor Castle."

  No way?

  "Big P" also said, "The most hateful thing is that the game automatically upgrades, and many times even if you're a little sister, you can't control everything."

  "I heard that all roads from here to Ailandburg are blocked. I tried, but even with butterfly wings, it's impossible to fly over."

  "I know," said Big P.

  "What's to be done?"

  "As long as it's blocked, there's a way to unblock it." Da P said thoughtfully, "There must be a way, don't worry, I'm here. Let's go into that cave and see if we can get out?"

  "No, it's all bats inside"

  "What I fear the most is the Holy Spirit." Da P muttered to himself, "I'll try out my Holy Spirit magic and see if it's useful. Let's hurry up, or we won't make it in time."

  No choice, I gritted my teeth and followed Big P into the cave, he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull me, I hid my hands behind my back, he had no choice but to say: "Follow closely behind me, if not you can run with your light shoes, then use your smartwatch to input Xiaoding's name to find me."

  "Oh." I said.

  Maybe it's different from the cave I entered last time, there aren't many bats in the cave, occasionally one or two, and they were all easily solved by Big P. However, we turned around inside for a long time and couldn't find the exit no matter how hard we tried. Finally, after seeing some light, my friend and I excitedly rushed out, but only to discover that we had returned to our original location.

  "That's not right," I said. "We didn't move backward, so how can we be back at the starting point?"
