Chapter 1096: Racing Against Time (Thanks to Qingshan Ruhuai for the reward!)

The cracks on the glass cabinet gradually spread like the forking of tree branches, quickly extending until they covered all three sides. Then, the glass cabinet shattered, its fragments falling like gleaming stars onto the cherry-colored leather ball above.

For some unknown reason, these tiny pieces embedded themselves above the ball, puncturing it with several small holes. The sound of air hissing from the ball could be heard, yet the ball itself maintained its original state. Suddenly, the hissing grew louder, and the ball sprung up, hitting the ceiling and bouncing toward the distance.

Shadow Play was about to give chase, but her body began to tremble. Hexagonal snowflakes began to fall slowly around the glass cabinet, as though winter had arrived in an instant.

"This rubber ball can move on its own!" Lemon shouted to Wu Tong and Hu Yue, not far away, while he set off chasing the ball.
