But how? This was an important question that was placed before them.
Angor didn't know. The strings were filled with unstable energy that had reached truth-finder level, which was something he couldn't touch.
Angor looked at the puppy.
Froggy seemed to hate Yorkshire a lot, which was why he strongly recommended Angor to bring the puppy with him when he thought Angor was going to look for Yorkshire's captives.
Now that Angor thought about it, Froggy's expression was a little strange. He said that bringing the puppy with him would be a great help.
Angor didn't know what Froggy meant. At first, Angor thought Froggy was looking for someone.
So far, Angor believed the puppy did.
But if he was just looking for someone, Faelog had already made it clear from the very beginning. Why would he be so evasive?
"Let him try." Angor grabbed the dog by the scruff of its neck and flew into the air while looking at Gank at the same level.
Angor looked closer and noticed that the strings were glowing not because they were golden in color, but because they were covered with strange golden runes.
These runes were probably different from the ones in the wizarding world. Angor didn't know how to use them, so he didn't want to disturb their balance.
"Isn't it just a normal dog? Can it really do it? " Shan and Shiliew also flew up, but Toby flapped his wings and brought them behind Angor.
"I don't know, but I can try."
"Hey, can you let go of it without hurting it?" Angor used his gravity power to keep the dog in the air. "Hey, can you let it go without hurting it?"
Angor didn't know if the puppy understood him or not, but it was obviously happy to be free for a while. It wagged its tail and rushed to Gank.
As soon as the Dalmatian touched Gank, it opened its huge mouth and bit down on one of the golden threads that pierced through Gank's collarbone.
The string was broken in the next second.
"I knew it! This dog can break Yorkshire's puppet strings!" Angor quickly urged the puppy to keep biting.
The Dalmatian's speed was very fast. Almost every bite was able to break a golden thread. However, there were more than ten strings in total. Every time a string was broken, Gank would scream in agony, which meant the breaking of the strings would cause him great pain.
"Hang in there! There are only a few left!" Shan, who was standing behind him, covered her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Gank. Her voice trembled as she tried to cheer Gank up.
Actually, if the spotted dog slowed down its biting speed, Gank might feel less uncomfortable. However, they were in a hurry right now. Both Shan and Angor knew that slowing down would only lower Nausica's chances of survival, so they didn't bring up the idea.
More than half of the strings's strings were broken. Gank wriggled and screamed in agony. That kind of pain was clearly expressed in its voice, and the three people present could empathize with it.
There was only one string left, and Gank was about to succeed.
But right at this moment, Gank's twisted expression slowly relaxed as the pain reached its peak …
Angor and Shan's hearts skipped a beat when they saw Gank's expression.
Not long ago, the green-haired woman they met in the treehouse inn also gave up hope in the end. Her expression was calm but desperate, just like Gank's expression at this moment.
"Gank … Don't give up!" Shan's voice trembled. "There's only one string left. Don't give up!"
But it was too late. Shan's voice could no longer reach Gank's ears. Gank's pupils disappeared, and his eyes turned pure white. The bulging veins on his body slowly relaxed, and a strange aura was released from his body.
"There's nothing we can do. The prototype is complete," Angor muttered.
They didn't expect to lose everything at the last moment.
The presence repelled all of them. Then, just like the green-haired woman, Gank turned into a container in the interlayer space and was dragged into the void by the last remaining golden thread, disappearing from sight.
Soon, he sensed that a new interlayer space had appeared in the center of Sleepless City, and it was none other than Gank's name.
Angor took a deep breath and turned to Shan, who was crying her eyes out. "Let's get out of here."
Shan nodded. She looked at the faint void with tears in her eyes. Finally, she braced herself and turned around. She spread her wings and left the cemetery with Toby.
It was silent all the way, and only the occasional barking of the spotted dog could be heard. Even Shan's cries had stopped.
"Can Nausica hold on? Even Gank couldn't …" Shan sobbed and broke the silence by taking a deep breath.
After a long time, there was a deep sigh in the air.
"I hope so."
According to Shan, Gank was an otherworldly barbarian who had no desires, low emotions, and was very stubborn. If even Gank couldn't hold on, it would be very difficult for them to pray for a human, especially one who was born weak, to hold on.
At this time, ripples of interlayer space appeared in several directions.
It was apparent that a few of them did not make it and became Yorkshire's puppets. Their future was completely cut off.
The dalmatian was originally heading in that direction, but because the unknown person had given up struggling, they had no choice but to change their direction.
They had to change directions four times in a row because they couldn't hold on.
She had been on Toby's back for five minutes. She was already anxious, and now she was on the verge of breaking down.
Shan was not in the mood to think about Gank anymore. She was praying with all her heart that Nausica was not one of the people who failed to survive the ordeal.
After changing directions for the seventh time, they landed at the edge of a quiet lake.
This was a park designed by Sleepless City. Couples and old people often came here for a stroll. But now, there was no one around.
Dalmatian quickly ran to the edge of the lake and barked at the water.
"It looks like the kidnapped person is at the bottom of the lake. Let's check it out."
He was about to dive down, but Shiliew came out of the water and opened up a path for them to go through.
Shan also cast a Light spell to illuminate the bottom of the lake.
It didn't take them long to reach the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the unknown lake wasn't as clean as the surface. It was filled with trash, trash, and … rotten corpses.
They saw at least ten corpses on the way to the center of the lake. Some of them had already turned into skeletons, while others were still in the shape of a giant.
It was only calm on the surface. No one knew how much dirt was hidden in this beautiful lake that was called the Lake of Love by couples. This small lake was like a dangerous place in the wizarding world. All the peace was just a facade.
When they reached the center of the lake, they finally saw something familiar — the nest of rainbow dragonflies.
The nest was located in a space separated from the water.
Without waiting for Angor's instruction, Shan moved the light to the top of the nest.
Just like the previous places, Yorkshire's kidnapper was right above the nest. Angor couldn't see the person's face, but he could already feel the energy ripples coming from the strings.
This had already happened three times. Every time, the person who was kidnapped was above the rainbow dragonfly's nest. Angor had a good idea why Yorkshire did this. Firstly, it was to give the kidnapper a mental breakdown. Secondly, it was to ensure that the dragonflies wouldn't destroy the nest.
"It's Nausica!" Shan suddenly exclaimed. "Yes, it's her! She's right here! "
Angor quickly looked up. When he saw the scene illuminated by the light source, his eyes brightened up.
It was none other than Nausica who was being tied up.
But compared to the others, Nausica's condition was even worse. The barrier at the center of the lake did not completely isolate Nausica from the water. She was completely submerged in the water from her nose to her toes.
Only by lowering his head slightly could he expose his nose to the water barrier and breathe in the air below.
But if she lowered her head, she would definitely pull on the golden strings, which would bring her great pain.
Seeing Nausica's condition, Shiliew quickly moved the water away from her body. The three of them quickly went to where Nausica was tied up.
It could be seen that she was in a very bad state. Her face was extremely pale and her teeth were tightly clenched. She couldn't receive any information from the outside world. Even when they approached her, she didn't react.
If they couldn't sense her vital signs, they would think she was a dead person.
"She's still here. I hope she can hold on." Shan's tears fell uncontrollably when she saw her friend still holding on and not giving up hope of survival.
Angor's voice trembled. He held the puppy in his hand and stroked it. "Be gentle. Let's get her out of here."
The puppy tilted its head and barked a few times. It then jumped into the gray aura created by the sequence of gravity, ran to Nausica, and started tearing at the golden strings.
As the first golden thread broke, the golden thread broke.
Nausica finally groaned in pain. She bit down on her blood-stained lips, which were full of bite marks.
The second, the third …
Every time a golden string broke, Nausica's expression would become twisted.
Compared to Nausica's occasional groans, Angor and the others were more nervous and worried that Nausica would give up in the next second.
Nausica bit her lips so hard that her eyebrows started to bleed. She didn't make a sound even though she was frowning so hard that her lips were torn apart.
