Chapter 1146: Organ Rolling

Bai Jiu was slightly startled by the scene, but she quickly suppressed her surprised expression.

She then smiled at Jiang Shi and asked:

"Xiao Jiang Shi... do you feel unwell?"

"I...?" Jiang Shi paused for a moment, then lightly sniffed. "No... why do you ask?"

Bai Jiu looked into Jiang Shi's eyes, her heart filled with confusion, but she worried that speaking directly about this strange situation might scare him, so she didn't say anything rashly.

His eyes... could they be starting to recover?

Bai Jiu stared at Jiang Shi's eyes again and noticed that his own pupils were pitch black, while the other one that had just appeared had a faint brown color.

The two pupils not only differed in color but also moved independently on the same face, clearly not belonging to the same person's eyes.

Bai Jiu felt a chill run down her spine, though she didn't show it. She sensed that there seemed to be another person inside Jiang Shi's body, and that person was now peering out through their own eyes.

That eye was filled with terror, confusion, and bewilderment, in stark contrast to the pain, exhaustion, and sorrow in Jiang Shi's own eyes.

This indescribable situation made Bai Jiu feel panicked, and she could no longer control her expression, which Jiang Shi eventually noticed.

"Jiu Jie... is something wrong with my left eye?" Jiang Shi hesitated. "Why are you making that face?"

Bai Jiu didn't want to answer the question, and her expression shifted from panic to helplessness.

No matter who this person inside Jiang Shi's body was, they shouldn't disturb him when he was on the verge of death.

That eyeball spun around for a while before its gaze settled on Bai Jiu, and then it widened.

"Xiao Jiang Shi... I need to tell you something, but you don't have to be afraid..."

No sooner had Bai Jiu spoken than she saw Jiang Shi's strange eye undergo a flurry of organ rolling.

After the eye came the nose, and after the nose came the mouth, switching one after another like the spinning symbols on a slot machine, from top to bottom.

When it finally stopped, one of Jiang Shi's eyes was still an eye, but the other had turned into a mouth. His small face now had one eye and two mouths, creating an indescribably horrifying sight.

Bai Jiu immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

"Jiu Jie!!"

A familiar voice came from somewhere ethereal. Bai Jiu focused and saw that it was the mouth on Jiang Shi's eye speaking.

Jiang Shi was also startled by the voice, as he couldn't pinpoint its source—it seemed to come from all directions, yet also deep within his own mind.

"Who... who's speaking?" Jiang Shi snapped to attention and looked around in terror.

Bai Jiu just quietly held Jiang Shi's cheeks, her expression full of disbelief.

"This voice... Qiu Shiliu?" she asked.

"What Qiu Shiliu...?" Jiang Shi felt even more confused. "Where's Qiu Shiliu?"

"Jiu Jie!! I thought I was seeing things—it's really you!" Qiu Shiliu's voice continued to emerge from the ethereal space.

"What on earth is going on, Qiu Shiliu...?" Bai Jiu was even more puzzled, not feeling relieved just because it was someone she knew.

"Who's speaking?" Jiang Shi murmured. "Where's Qiu Shiliu?"

"I haven't even asked you yet, Jiu Jie. How did you end up inside Xuanwu's body? And who was just talking to you? Is it Shi Ge?"

"Hold on..." Bai Jiu sensed that the situation wasn't what she had thought. "You said we're... inside Xuanwu's body?"

"Yeah..." Qiu Shiliu's voice drifted out. "You're in the space inside Xuanwu's body..."

Bai Jiu turned her head to look at the distant battlefield, where a group of people surrounded Xuanwu, but neither Xuanwu nor anyone else was moving.

Xuanwu just kept its head down, staring at its own chest, while all the "Mao" members around it were tense but not making any moves.

"That's not right... Shiliu." Bai Jiu shook her head. "If anything, it should only be you inside Xuanwu's body... We're all outside..."

"Where exactly is Shiliu...?" Jiang Shi felt a bit dazed.

"What..." Qiu Shiliu was stunned, and the mouth on Jiang Shi's face rolled through organs again, eventually turning back into an eye. "Only me?"

That eye looked around at the outside situation and quickly became puzzled.

She moved the eye away and once again placed the mouth at the opening, so from Bai Jiu's perspective, Jiang Shi's left eye alternated between an eye and a mouth.

"What the hell is going on? I'm seeing you from a light point inside Xuanwu's body..."

"You're seeing us from a light point...?"

"Jiu Jie... what is this light point thing?"

"I don't know... What does it look like from your angle?"

"It's just a coin-sized hole..." Qiu Shiliu said. "But where are you seeing me from?"

"I'm seeing you... from Xiao Jiang Shi's eye." Bai Jiu answered honestly. "Right now, you look like you're inside Xiao Jiang Shi's body... and your eye is peering out from his eye."

"What?" Both Jiang Shi and Qiu Shiliu were stunned.

After a few seconds, Qiu Shiliu finally spoke: "Jiu Jie... I'm clearly inside Xuanwu's body, so how did I end up in Shi Ge's body...?"

Bai Jiu reached up and fiddled with her double ponytails. As one of the renowned strategists of "Mao", she might not be helpful in fights, but she could try to figure out this bizarre situation as much as possible, which was clearly related to Xuanwu's ultimate secret.

"It seems... this can only mean that the 'Bumie' of two people has connected to the same space." Bai Jiu said. "It's not that hard to understand... It's just that the chance of two 'Bumie' aligning is extremely rare..."

"No, Jiu Jie, it seems like it's not just two Bumie..."

Qiu Shiliu knew that with Bai Jiu around, she didn't have to think too hard herself, so she spilled everything she had seen, including the countless doors, each with strange shapes but leading to different spaces.

She then summarized her guess about the concept of "space moving while people stay still" and how she had ended up at this strange light point.

All these abstract concepts flooded into Bai Jiu's mind, giving Jiang Shi a rough idea of the current situation.

"Jiu Jie... what do you think I should do now...?"

Bai Jiu frowned in thought for a long time and came to an abstract conclusion.

The space inside Xuanwu's body seemed to exist outside all spaces, but "Bumie" happened to have the key to enter it.

"Shiliu... your strategy just now had a few flaws. From now on, follow my arrangements." Bai Jiu said seriously, staring at Jiang Shi's eye.
