The smile on the girl's face at this moment was another layer of threat in the eyes of the dirty-faced man. Although he didn't know how she would threaten him, this feeling grew stronger and stronger in his heart, so strong that he wanted to turn and flee immediately. However, thinking of this girl's identity, he lost that courage.
Helpless, he could only stand on the spot and give the girl a dry laugh. As for the things she was curious about, he didn't care at all.
"..."
The girl looked at the forced smile on the dirty-faced man's face, then glanced at the window, and said, "Don't give me that expression, I won't do anything to you." After speaking, she fixed her gaze on the door lock.
Immediately, under the girl's 'truthful' words, the dirty-faced man relaxed, "You're not targeting me."
"Your life will be mine sooner or later," the girl said directly.
The dirty-faced man's nerves tightened, and he continued to laugh dryly.
This time, the girl did not look at the dirty-faced man but walked to the window. "There is light inside, which means I can see everything inside," she mumbled, leaning her face towards the gap in the wooden board.
The dirty-faced man watched the girl's back, not daring to speak.
On the other side of the window, Jia, peeking through the gap, watched the girl gradually approaching. He muttered, "This monster has quite a few lives in her hands." As he spoke, he stared intently at the girl's face.
Since Lou Yi could not see outside, he could only look at Jia. "Do you understand boundaries?" he suddenly became curious about this question.
"Do you understand boundaries?" Jia said suddenly.
Lou Yi frowned, "What is that?"
"It's a kind of sorcery," Jia explained briefly.
Sorcery?
In Lou Yi's eyes, Ouyang Ye had always been an unpardonably evil demon. At this moment, Jia actually said that a sorcery related to 'boundaries' had been cast here. Hearing this, he suddenly began to doubt Jia's words.
"You must be kidding," he masked his distrust of Jia with a smile.
Jia shot a death glare at Lou Yi's face.
Lou Yi stiffened and pointed at the window, "You'd better not talk. If she sees you, it will be awkward."
"You truly are ignorant," Jia said dismissively.
Lou Yi clearly did not like this 'title' Jia had bestowed upon him. He immediately put away the smile on his face and became displeased, "Why am I ignorant? Let me tell you, I've learned so many things, you..."
"You don't even know the most basic boundaries, yet you've learned so much," Jia interrupted, sweeping his gaze over Lou Yi's face with disdain, and sneered, "It's utterly laughable."
"Say that again."
"I'll say the same thing again. You truly are ignorant, unable to understand such a simple meaning. Now," Jia clicked his tongue twice, "I really don't know whether to call you pitiful or pathetic."
"You..."
"Strange, why is there nothing?" The voice from outside interrupted Lou Yi's counterattack.
Hearing this, Lou Yi's expression stiffened. He stood up, moved away from the wall, turned sideways, and inadvertently looked through the gap at the girl outside, who looked anxious and confused. He swallowed and said, "She can't see inside?" He then lowered his head to look at Jia again.
Jia was initially unsure if his thoughts were correct, which was why he had been crouching and observing. Now, hearing the girl say that, his idea was considered 'confirmed.' So he slowly stood up, looked up at Lou Yi, whose face was full of astonishment, pursed his lips, and smiled, "The principle of a privacy film."
Privacy film? At this moment, Jia's words brought Lou Yi into an entirely new world. Looking at him, Lou Yi's expression gradually became contorted and ferocious, "You..." He looked left and right at the window and Jia, and asked, "Can you explain it to me?"
"Didn't you say you've learned so many things?" Jia deliberately mimicked Lou Yi's earlier demeanor.
Lou Yi chuckled foolishly and scratched the back of his head.
Jia said coldly, "Do you dare to look down on me again in the future?"
"I didn't..."
"If you say you didn't, then from the moment you opened your mouth, you were looking down on me. I hate people who look down on me the most. Apologize to me." Jia acted like a spoiled child.
Seeing this, Lou Yi really didn't want to argue with Jia, and said, "I'm sorry."
"That's more like it," Jia was appeased in a second and then looked around, saying, "This woodshed is hidden."
"What's the point of him doing this?" Lou Yi couldn't understand Ouyang Ye anymore.
"The point," Jia said, deliberately looking at the door lock, "is that he doesn't want Mu Anxiao to find us. Simply put, it's the same as before, Ouyang Ye is diverting Mu Anxiao's attention."
"What... do you mean." Lou Yi was dumbfounded.
Seeing Lou Yi's clueless expression, Jia sighed, "I am a child, and you are an infant."
"You..." Lou Yi did not dare to offend Jia easily and smiled, pursing his lips, "You can say whatever you want. The fact is, you know much more than I do."
"Finally, you said something sensible," Jia said, glancing at the window. "Ouyang Ye knows that Mu Anxiao will save us, so he deliberately captured us and then set up this boundary so that Mu Anxiao can't find us, delaying Mu Anxiao's time, and finally... to carry out his own plan."
"You mean this boundary was specifically set up for Mu Anxiao to see," Lou Yi understood Jia's words.
Jia nodded, "Yes. In other words, we can see outside, but people outside cannot see us, nor can they hear us. As we are now," he looked up at Lou Yi, "we have effectively disappeared from the world."
"Disappeared..." Lou Yi remembered what the girl had said to the dirty-faced man, and his heart sank. "Then we can't save that man."
"He can only leave it to fate," Jia was powerless.
Lou Yi frowned, "Then he..."
"However, I think that female demon probably won't act rashly against that man," Jia interrupted, staring intently at the girl sticking her head out of the window. "She doesn't look like she'll give up."
"Won't give up what?" Lou Yi was completely panicked, and he couldn't be bothered to think about some things anymore.
"The fact that she can come means she saw something."
"The door lock was formed by demonic arts. As long as she breaks the demonic arts on it, we can break this boundary," Lou Yi had an epiphany and said excitedly, "Is this idea of mine correct?"
"This..." Jia put Lou Yi's words into his mind and thought for a moment, then nodded, "It might work."
"Then we have to let her know completely that there are people inside," Lou Yi said.
"You're right, but the boundary..." Jia paused mid-sentence, and then his lips curved upwards, "As long as it's a spell, we can try to break it."
"Let's try," Lou Yi said excitedly.
"I'll try," Jia said, stepping back, raising his hand, and beginning to cast the spell.
Lou Yi watched the blue light around Jia's body, his heart becoming even more excited.
