Chapter 227


    Jonathan rubbed his nose depressingly at the side. It seems that Lahpletely believes him now. If


    he really has any other conspiracies and tricks, then I''m doomed.


    However, he could not say anything at the moment.


    He just felt that everything was out of control now.


    Jonathan did not expect that Gabriel could still pose such a threat to him after he killed Lucio. With that


    thought in mind, he held the Holy Chest tightly in his arms. He knew that Gabriel definitely wanted to


    get it too. However, he could not give him as it was a bargaining chip in his hands.


    At that moment, Gabriel said, “We have to find a way to get out. This ce is sealed. I have to gather


    the spiritual energy of the two of you andbined it with mine to find the previous maic field gate.


    Only then can we go back to the garage.”


    “How?” Lah asked.


    “You just need to rx your minds, and I''ll use my spiritual energy to guide you. You may feel a little


    exhausted throughout the process.”


    “Wait a moment. Does that mean we''re putting our lives in your hands?” Jonathan felt that it was not an


    appropriate arrangement.


    Gabriel felt a little helpless. “It seems that you still don''t trust me. This is not something that I can do


    alone. There are a lot of things in this world that can''t bepleted alone, and there are a lot of times


    that require cooperation and trust between people. Many hands make light work. Don''t you understand


    such a simple truth?”


    “I''m sorry. I just can''t trust you,” said Jonathan.


    Gabriel looked at Lah. “Lah, if that''s the case, let''s just stay here. If we miss the time, we''ll use the


    Holy Chest to travel to the past again. Then we''ll be killed by ourselves in the past.” He paused for a


    moment and continued, “Let me be frank with you. The previous mission failed not because we could


    not get out of the maze of the maic field. It''s because Jonathan refused to cooperate. I guess we''re


    going to face the same problem again even after I''ve exined so much to him.”


    “Jonathan, do you really have to be so selfish?” Lah red at Jonathan.


    Jonathan was so frustrated that he did not even look at Lah. “Lah, he can''t be trusted...”


    Lah said coldly, “We''re all in the same boat now. Why can''t you trust him?”


    Jonathan ignored Lah. He nced around and said, “We can see if there''s an exit. This ce is not


    illusory but real. I''m sure we can find an exit and leave here.”


    Gabriel said, “The future you said the same thing too. You then took three days to realize the exit here


    had been sealed.”


    Jonathan was at a loss for words.


    “Jonathan, if you don''t cooperate, I''ll kill you!” Lah snapped.


    Lah had always wanted to know what happened to her before she was seven. Now that she finally


    had a chance to find out, she would not let Jonathan ruin it.


    However, Jonathan was a stubborn person. He sneered and said, “You sound so cool, Lah. Well,


    then. I''d like to see how you''re going to kill me today. I''m not going to cooperate with him no matter


    what.”


    When Jonathan''s temper sparked, he could not care less about anything else.


    A murderous intent appeared in Lah''s eyes.


    Jonathan immediately backed away alertly.


    Gabriel sighed. “It seems that it is inevitable that the future us could not do this. We''re destined to be


    sealed off. Even with this Holy Chest that can travel through time and space in our hands, we''re still


    unable to change our destiny. Just go ahead if the two of you want to fight. It seems that it''s impossible


    for us to cooperate anymore.”


    Both Jonathan and Lah were stunned.


    Lah looked at Jonathan. “How can I get you to cooperate?”


    Jonathan took a deep breath. “It''s not that I don''t want to cooperate. But you don''t know Gabriel well.


    He''s a man full of tricks...”


    “What if I beg you?” asked Lah. “Do you want me to kneel and beg you?”


    Jonathan was shocked, and he felt pity for Lah again.


    Lah was not a cruel person. However, she had lost herself because she was too concerned about


    her past.


    Jonathan let out a sigh. “Okay, I promise you. But Lah, let me remind you. Even if we cooperate,


    there''s still a chance that Gabriel might not help you as you wish. I don''t mind losing my life because


    my life is not important anyway. In the end, it''s you who will suffer.”


    “I will bear the consequences for the decision that I make,” said Lah.


    Gabriel heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lah, “I''ll prove to you that your decision is right.”


    Then he said to Jonathan and Lah, “Come and sit cross-legged in front of me. Then rx your


    minds.”


    Jonathan reluctantly sat down in front of Gabriel with Lah.

    They two closed their eyes at the same time and rxed their minds.


    Since Jonathan had agreed to cooperate, he could only put his life in Gabriel''s hands.


    Gabriel channeled all of his attention to his hand, and a white porcin bottle appeared in his hand.


    He opened the white porcin bottle, and a plume of smoke wafted out.


    With a sneer, Gabriel controlled the smoke with his spiritual energy.


    The smoke then circled above Jonathan''s and Lah''s heads. After that, more smoke drifted out of


    their heads.


    Those smokes were the spiritual energy of Jonathan and Lah!


    Both of them still had no idea what was going on, and they did not feel anything.


    But soon, Jonathan and Lah realized that something was amiss.


    They could not move.


    “D*mn it!” Jonathan was horrified when he felt that he could not control his body at all. However, his


    mind was clear.


    Lah noticed it as well.


    They opened their eyes and looked at Gabriel.


    Gabriel''s eyes glinted dangerously. “What a pity, Jonathan! You''re actually quite smart, but you''re


    ruined by this stupid woman beside you. If you insist on finding an exit, you''ll be able to find one for


    sure. Unfortunately, you didn''t.”


    Lah red at Gabriel murderously. “How dare you!”


    Gabriel smiled lightly and said, “Lah, you''re not even worthy of being my opponent with your wisdom.


    Jonathan is not bad. But too bad, he won''t have another chance.”


    He paused for a moment. “There''s one more thing. Do you really think my legs are impaired?” He


    suddenly stood up.


    “You...” Jonathan was stunned.


    Gabriel kicked his wheelchair away and said to Jonathan, “You have a lot of doubts in your mind, don''t


    you? It''s okay. I still have time to clear up your doubts, and I won''t let you die so easily.”


    Lah yelled, “B*stard! What have you done to us?”


    “What have I done? I''m very happy to exin it to you. When I led the two of you to my room for the


    first time, the video was used to confuse you. I put the Incense of Lost Souls in the room to collect your


    spiritual energy. However, Jonathan was very smart, and he left immediately. So, my first n failed.


    Then, I put the Incense of Lost Souls in your rooms instead. Unfortunately, Jonathan saw through my


    n again. I really have to give you a thumbs-up for this,” said Gabriel eloquently like an excited


    winner.


    He continued, “After the two of you escaped, I was unable to trace your whereabouts. Although I can


    use my Fortune Telling Spell to find out where you are, I can''t use it very often. I finally found out your


    location when the two of you went to find Isaac. I knew Lucio would meet Jonathan in the past. You can


    actually say that I gave Lucio to you on purpose. But what you didn''t know is that I sprinkled some


    Incense of Lost Souls on Lucio. After Lucio came into contact with you, he sessfully absorbed a


    small amount of your spiritual energy. Then, I went to see Isaac. I took Lucio''s dead body and collected


    a small amount of your spiritual energy from his dead body. I then put the energy into this bottle. But


    the spiritual energy was too little. It''s not enough for me to deal with you. Then, the future Gabriel


    appeared. The future me and the present me have amon hatred and amon goal, which is


    you, Jonathan! The future me sacrificed himself so that the present me can seek revenge on you!”


    Fear and anger overwhelmed Lah. Jonathan, however, slowly calmed down. He had no other choice


    but to remain calm in such a situation. He looked at Gabriel and said, “Then can you tell me what did


    the future Gabriel tell you?”


    “He told me he only helped you to open the door of the maic field. He didn''t get in because you


    didn''t allow him to do so. After going in, you found the Holy Chest and the Sinai Bible. But after you


    went out, it was an uninhabited desert. You walked for ten days to return to Yeringham. So, you guys


    had to cooperate again.”


    “Then what about this time? You''ll have to walk for ten days to go back too after you kill us. You will still


    miss the deadline for the assignment.”


    “Do you think I didn''t think about that? We''ve marked down the location here. I think in about two hours,


    the private jet arranged by Isaac will be here, and I''ll fire a signal re. Then, I''ll arrive in Yeringham


    safely.”


    Suddenly, it all clicked. Jonathan asked, “Why do you want to collect our spiritual energy? What is it


    for?”


    “Isn''t that obvious? I have to use your spiritual energy as a medium to control your brain waves. I cut off


    the connection between your brain waves and your bodies. Although you have great cultivation and


    great power, your brains can no longer control your bodies. The two of you are at my mercy right


    now...”
