Chapter 1073: Should We Leave After All?

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: Should We Leave After All?

"So, you’re saying that we just happened to arrive during the time those people are being controlled... and the river, no, it should be the entire water source of Shuiqi Island, has been polluted by this poisonous plant, is that right?" Han Jing was simply incredulous; how could there be such terrifying things in this world? Truly... it’s frightening the more you think about it.

She certainly knew that some aquatic organisms have an incredibly strong reproductive ability that can quickly pollute the entire water source, causing poisoning, but this toxin was just too horrifying.

Imagine, there are several hours in a day where things happen that you are completely unaware of, and it’s quite possible these are things you did yourself.

This is tantamount to stealing a portion of someone’s memory time; it’s truly terrifying.

"Yes, just wait; the truth will soon be revealed." They just saw people, indicating they have started returning to their original positions; when they come to, they will completely forget what happened during this time, not even noticing that the missing time is any different from the time before.

Two hours is not short, and if something like this truly happens, someone will surely feel something different. But that is the most magical aspect of Puppet Grass; it will make you completely forget this time, making you believe that this period truly has passed.

Everyone only felt a chill down their spine; however, what made them even more overwhelmed was that after about a quarter of an hour, the whole Shuiqi Island seemed to awaken after a slumber and come alive all at once.

By now, it was nearing dusk; the houses along the riverbank had already hung lanterns at their doors, with a spread of lights illuminating the entire city with brilliance and splendor. People’s faces were alive with various expressions, so joyful and bustling that Han Jing and the others questioned whether the time they just experienced was merely an illusion.

There was even an enthusiastic boatman who, upon seeing Han Jing and the others, waved to ask if they wanted a ride; Han Jing couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle, where did you go earlier?"

The uncle responded with a kind smile, "Miss, I’m just a boatman, naturally I was rowing. Busy all afternoon, soon it will be time to go home for dinner. So? Where are you headed?"

The sky wasn’t dark; the sunset still lingered on the river to the west, and Han Jing could clearly see the genuine emotion in his eyes, without a hint of doubt.

Han Jing quickly shook her hand, "No, No, thank you, Uncle, we aren’t crossing the river for now."

The uncle was not annoyed; he waved to Han Jing and the others and, still brimming with a warm smile, left to continue asking other passersby.

Han Jing reached out and pinched Su Yu hard, Su Yu remained unfazed.

Han Jing...

"Pinch me," Han Jing said woodenly.

Su Yu seriously pinched her lightly, and Han Jing almost jumped in pain, "Don’t you know to be gentle?"

Su Yu replied innocently, "I’m afraid you wouldn’t feel it clearly."

Han Jing...

Not only did she not feel it clearly, she couldn’t believe they could accept such a terrifying thing; oh my god, do they really not find it too frightening?

The most terrifying things in this world are often not that you know what you did, but that you don’t know what you did yet you still did it.

Han Jing hugged Su Yu’s arm tightly, whispering, "Shouldn’t we just leave?"
