In her more than 20 years of life, Lin Xi had been hit by a car, followed by someone, played an NPC, climbed onto a TV, and almost had her life force sucked dry. This was quite a rich life experience, but she had never thought that she would witness a crime scene in person.
"puff!"
The man in kimono pulled the samurai sword out of Yamaguchi Yuriko's chest, and blood spurted out instantly, almost splashing on Lin Xi's face, and also awakened Lin Xi's consciousness.
"Help!" Lin Yan rushed out of the room, not caring about what was happening outside, and ran into the night like a headless fly.
In a completely unfamiliar environment, where she didn't know what would happen, she shouldn't have run away or screamed so recklessly, but Lin Yan was just a college student who hadn't entered society. The loss of life and the stimulation of blood made her unable to calm down.
The man in kimono followed with a knife in hand, and blood was even dripping from the tip of his knife. He seemed to say something else, but it was in the language of R country, which Lin Yan could not understand at all. She ran desperately, non-stop, in the pitch-black world, like a moth, instinctively running towards the only light in the distance.
Because where there is light, there may be people.
Lin Xi wanted to find a place to hide again, but after running out, she found that there was a huge square outside, which was empty all around. There was no place to hide, so she could only run forward.
There must be someone, even if it's not a person, it can be a ghost. As long as it's not just her and the murderer.
Someone!
Finally, Lin Xi saw human figures. The light in the distance was a huge bonfire. Dozens of human figures were scattered around the bonfire, dancing.
"Help! Someone is killing someone." Lin Xi shouted almost instinctively.
The crowd dancing around the bonfire suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of Lin Xi. On her misty face were two balls of green light.
This is not human!
Lin Xi cried. She had made so many wishes since she was a child, but none of them had come true. But this time she said it might as well be a ghost, and a ghost really appeared for her
Lin was stuck in the same place. In front of her was a group of ghosts whose faces she couldn't see clearly, and behind her was a murderer holding a samurai sword. Who said that there is always a way out? Come out and tell me where the way out is
At this time, the man in kimono had come behind Lin Xi with a knife in hand. Lin Xi turned sideways, pointing the ruler in her hand at the man in kimono and then at the group of ghosts, hesitating who to deal with first.
Let's deal with the man in kimono first. He's alone and easy to control. Lin Yan made up her mind and was about to use the ruler to control the man in kimono, when suddenly a gust of wind passed behind her and dozens of figures passed by her and went straight to the man in kimono.
“@#%￥#@%#￥” The man in kimono shouted a series of R in Mandarin, raised his sword and rushed forward. With one swing of the sword, the powerful energy instantly overturned five or six ghosts.
Oh my god! Sword energy, no, knife energy
The ghost figure that was swept by the kimono man's sword energy collapsed immediately, turned into smoke and dissipated in the air, and there was a little green light in the smoke, slowly falling.
Lin Xi saw the green color but didn't take it seriously. Her only thought now was to escape. She had to escape while the man in kimono was fighting these ghosts.
[Auntie, go pick it up, it's a power stone.]
Lin Xi paused and said: "You have to be alive to pick up energy stones." Lin Xi loves money and is stingy, but she always understands one thing: people have to be alive to spend money.
[Aren't you going out? With enough energy stones, I can assimilate the energy. ]
Lin Yan read this comment and did not hesitate. She turned around and ran to the place where the battle had just taken place. She picked up the green energy stones that fell on the ground, and observed the movements of the man in kimono while picking them up. Fortunately, the man in kimono did not seem to care about these green energy stones. He only focused on killing the ghosts and ignored her. But even so, Lin Yan did not dare to pick up more, because the man in kimono was obviously stronger than these ghosts. With one slash of his sword, the ghosts fell down. It was estimated that he only needed to swing his sword a dozen times to kill the dozens of ghosts.
Lin Xi picked up about twenty energy stones and then she didn’t dare to pick up any more. She turned around and ran towards a row of houses on the left. She wanted to find an empty room to hide in.
Just as Lin Xi was hesitating to enter the room, the door of a room not far from her suddenly opened a crack.
"Chinese?" A deep voice with a strong northeastern accent.
Lin Xi became excited immediately. With such an authentic accent, this person must be a compatriot.
"It is me." Lin Xi responded quickly.
The door opened, revealing the face of a man in his thirties. The man looked around and waved at her: "Come in."
Lin Xi hid in without hesitation.
The room was pitch black and nothing could be seen, not even a candle. But fortunately the house was not big and Lin Xi could sense the location of her compatriot.
"Which organization are you from?" the man asked.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment: "What organization?"
"Superpower group, you don't have an organization? Are you a casual cultivator?" The man introduced himself, "Don't be afraid, I am from an official organization. I am from the second special power team of the imperial capital. My name is Huang Lun."
"I'm also from an official organization." The so-called official organization should be a supernatural organization formed by the country, and the Special Investigation Team 6 where she is now is also an official organization. However, the other party is from the imperial capital, and it sounds like his status is a little higher than hers.
"Are you also from an official organization?" There was a hint of surprise in Huang Lun's voice.
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded.
"What's the level of your supernatural power?" Huang Lun asked.
"I don't know." Lin Yan didn't know the specific grading standards for superpowers, and she wasn't even sure if the system was formed by superpowers. Apart from the system, she was still an ordinary person, and a very unlucky one at that. "I just awakened not long ago, and I don't know much about superpowers yet. By the way, where is this place?"
"You don't even know where this place is, then how did you get in?" Huang Lun was even more surprised.
"I don't know either. I was walking and suddenly came in here." Lin Xi herself also wanted to know how she got in.
"So you were swallowed into the subspace." Huang Lun understood.
"Subspace?" Lin Minmin grasped the key words, "Are you saying this is subspace? Brother Huang Lun, can you tell me what is going on?"
"You really don't understand anything?" Huang Lun felt that Lin Xi was too naive for a psychic.
"I just woke up not long ago." Lin Xi shook her head.
"Then how did you get into the official organization? Did you use the back door?" Huang Lun felt the energy fluctuations on Lin Yan's body, which were so low that they were almost non-existent. Having just awakened not long ago and knowing nothing, he couldn't think of what the official organization saw in Lin Yan except that she used the back door.
"A friend introduced it to me." Lin Xi said.
"Oh." It turned out to be a backdoor. Nowadays, wherever there are people, there are backdoors. Even the official supernatural organizations are no exception. "The subspace is named after the normal space we live in. We regard the space where humans live normally as the main space, and the environment we are in now is the subspace. In short, it is a space that exists beyond the cognition of ordinary people. Only people with supernatural powers can enter this space."
Lin Xi thought about it for a while and roughly understood: "Then how can we return to the main space?"
"There are two ways to return to the main space. One is to wait until the secondary space actively spits us out, which takes about three days. The second is to find an exit and find a way to get out from it." Huang Lun said.
Three days? Then I won't be able to make it in time for the defense. No, now is not the time to think about the defense. At worst, I can just postpone my graduation. There is a R country warrior holding a knife outside. If I stay here for three days, I will definitely be chopped.
"How do I find the exit?" Lin Wei asked.
"Energy stones are needed." Huang Lun explained, "If the subspace does not actively open the door, the main door is hidden. No one knows where the door is, and no one knows how many doors there are. We can only use a large number of energy stones to lock the direction of the main door. Because opening the subspace door consumes energy, the door will react to energy stones."
Energy stone, Lin Xi immediately thought of the twenty or so green stones she had just picked up. Sadako said that it was an energy stone, which should be the same thing Huang Lun said. Just when Lin Xi was hesitating whether to take out the energy stone and ask, the room suddenly lit up, and a light green energy stone appeared in front of Lin Xi.
Huang Lun held up an energy stone, which looked like a firefly flashing in the dark night. "This is the energy stone. The subspace we entered is not very big. About fifty of them can open the space door. I only have about twenty here. Do you have any? If you do, let's gather them together and maybe we can get out of here."
Huang Lun took out a black bag containing a handful of energy stones that glowed green.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She had just picked up about twenty of them.
"I have some too." Lin Xi took out all the energy stones she had just picked up.
She didn't have any extra bags on her, and she put them directly in her trouser pockets. Huang Lun saw her holding the energy stones and dropped a few on the ground, and he immediately became anxious: "Pick them up quickly, there are enemies all around here, try not to make any light or you will be discovered. Quick, put them in my bag."
"Oh, okay." Lin Yan thought of the kimono man outside and just wanted to leave here quickly. She put the energy stone in her hand into Huang Lun's bag without any precautions, and bent down to pick up the one that fell on the ground. "Are these energy stones enough for us to get out?"
"That's enough." Huang Lun nodded, and then asked, "I forgot to ask, what is your special ability?"
"Divination." Lin Xi said.
"Divination? Then why didn't you predict that you would be swallowed into the subspace?" Huang Lun asked.
"I can only tell fortunes for others, not for myself. Besides, divination also requires conditions." The person being told fortunes must be unlucky.
"I see." Huang Lun nodded, tied up the bag containing the energy stone, and said to Lin Yan, "It's time to find a exit."
"Let's go quickly. I hope the exit is not in front of us. There is a very powerful R country warrior in the square ahead." Although Lin Xi didn't know how high Huang Lun's supernatural power level was, he definitely couldn't beat the warrior outside. If he could, he wouldn't be hiding here.
"It's not us, it's me." After he finished speaking, Huang Lun suddenly swung his palm and hit Lin Xi's chest. Lin Xi couldn't dodge in time and was hit flying backwards, smashing the table in the middle of the room, and then crashing into the wall before stopping.
Lin Xi groaned, fell to the corner and could hardly stand up, her head was buzzing and chaotic.
"For the sake of being a fellow Chinese, I won't kill you. Instead, I'll teach you a lesson. Don't trust anyone in this subspace, if you can get out alive." After saying that, Huang Lun turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and prepared to leave.
"Do you know which official organization I belong to?" Lin Yan raised her head with difficulty and stared at the door.
"I don't care which organization you belong to."
[Asshole, ignorant and unskillful, ten lashes of the ruler will be punished. ]
Huang Lun took a step forward and walked out the door.
"You... your ability is not divination at all." Huang Lun was shocked. It turned out that he was not the only one who lied to Lin Yan, but Lin Yan was also lying to him. This woman's ability was not divination at all, and she was not the so-called novice who didn't even know about the subspace. He actually made a mistake!
"Cough, cough cough." Lin Xi stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wall. Damn it, if she hadn't kept the ruler in her hand the whole time, she would have almost been cheated. It was agreed that Chinese people would not cheat Chinese people. Wasn't it true that all of this was just a joke
Lin Xi stood up and leaned against the wall to catch her breath for a long time. After the pain in her chest subsided, she limped to Huang Lun. The first thing she did was to reach out and take the bag of energy stones from the man.
Huang Lun wanted to stop it, but his right hand was fixed in mid-air and could not move. Huang Lun tried to use his other hand, which could move, but as soon as he wanted to attack Lin Xi, that hand was immediately held down by a force and could not move.
"Asshole, why don't you accept your punishment? You actually dare to disobey your superiors."
A majestic and unquestionable voice shouted loudly, like a brand, imprinted deep in Huang Lun's soul, making him unable to rebel in the slightest.
What kind of power is this? The power of rules? How is it possible? If this woman can master the supreme power of rules, how can she be trapped in such a small subspace
Huang Lun was puzzled: "Who are you?"
"The one who taught you how to behave." Lin Xi hit him hard with a ruler.
Huang Lun cried out in pain and trembled all over.
"I'll let you lie to me!" Lin Yan hit him with the ruler again, and after Huang Lun finished howling, she hit him with the ruler again, "As a Chinese, when facing the R people, it's ok not to help each other, but you dare to lie to me. Are you worthy of the country?"
Huang Lun's whole body twitched in pain, and his eyes rolled back. What on earth was this ruler? It was clearly hitting his hand, but he felt like his brain was about to explode.
Besides, didn't he just cheat a newbie? In the subspace, deceiving and framing each other in order to survive is a normal thing. How could he be sorry for the country? If he could beat the R countryman outside, he would have killed his way out long ago.
Lin Xi hit him three times and then stopped. She was afraid that if she hit him too much, the man’s screams would attract other enemies, whether it was the man in kimono or those strange ghosts.
"I'm going to ask you a question now, and you answer it honestly." Lin Xi threatened while holding up a ruler.
"Ask." Huang Lun was in so much pain that he didn't have the slightest thought of resisting. He was a D-class psychic, and the other party was at least B-class to beat him like this in just two or three hits.
"Is what you just said true?" Lin Xi was most concerned about how to leave here.
"I'm not lying to you, this is true," Huang Lun said.
"Then how can I sense the exit? I'll tell you, if you dare to lie to me, I'll..."
"No lie, no lie." Huang Lun shouted anxiously, afraid that Lin Yan would hit him with a ruler again. "The exit needs an energy stone to open, but... whether you can find the exit depends on your personal perception ability. The stronger the psychic's perception of energy, the easier it is to find the exit. If the perception is not strong, even if you get the energy stone, you can't open the door to the subspace."
Lin Xi frowned. She actually had no perception of these energy stones. It was Sadako who asked her to pick up the energy stones.
Maybe Sadako could sense the door.
Lin Yan immediately asked in her heart: "Sister Zhenzi, can you sense the exit?"
Lin Xi waited for a while, but the system barrage did not appear, and she was a little disappointed.
Huang Lun saw that Lin Yan suddenly fell silent and guessed, "You can't sense the exit, I can sense it, why don't I sense it, and then we can go out together."
Lin Yan chuckled: "Do you think I will still believe you?"
Huang Lun: "Boss, I can't beat you again, I dare not mess around anymore. How about you take the measurement stone, then you will feel relieved."
"I'm worried!" Lin Yan didn't try to guess whether Huang Lun was telling the truth. She only knew one thing: her luck was too bad. If she chose to go with a liar who was full of lies, the final outcome would definitely not be very good. Therefore, if she couldn't trust him completely, it was the best choice to go alone. Even if she couldn't get out in the end, it was better than being killed by others and feeling depressed.
Lin Yan ignored Huang Lun and walked past him, pushing the door open. "Since we are both Chinese, I won't kill you. Your supernatural power will disappear ten minutes after I leave. You stay well during these ten minutes. Don't blame me if you die. Remember, I am from Group 6 of the Jincheng Special Event Investigation Team. Don't let me run into you again."
After answering the question, the ruler skill was lifted. Huang Lun felt his whole body relax, and subconsciously wanted to put his hand down, but thinking of Lin Yan's threat just now, he froze and dared not move.
Lin Xi left the room, fearing that her lie would be seen through by Huang Lun, so she ran very fast, circled half of the village, and saw an empty house with the door open, so she dodged and hid inside.
After making sure that no one was in the room, Lin Yan placed a bag of energy stones on the table before taking out Sadako's wig from the inventory and putting it on: "Sister Sadako, can you sense the space door?"
Sadako didn't answer, but the wig on Lin Yan's head moved. The black and smooth hair was divided into strands and drilled into the bag containing energy stones on its own. After a while, it sucked up all the energy stones inside.
Lin Xi was delighted, thinking there was hope.
"Sister Sadako, where is the exit?"
The long hair danced and suddenly pointed in a direction.
Sure enough, I could feel that Sadako didn't speak because she didn't have enough merit, so she couldn't speak.
Thinking so, Lin Xi pushed the door open again, looked around, and made sure there were no ghosts or human figures before she ran in the direction pointed by the long hair.
Go straight, turn left, turn right, and turn right again... After running for a long time, Lin Yan was sweating, and finally she stopped at the foot of a hill. There was a building on the hill, and the outline looked like a temple.
Lin Xi walked up, and halfway up, she suddenly realized something was wrong, because there were many green energy stones scattered in the grass beside the mountain road.
This is the energy stone that dropped after the ghost was slaughtered. The presence of energy stones here proves that someone has been here and killed the ghost, perhaps it was the man in kimono.
When Lin Xi was hesitating whether to continue moving forward, Sadako's long hair spread out in all directions like an octopus, sucking up all the energy stones around in an instant.
Lin Yan looked at this scene in surprise, but did not stop Sadako. She stood there hesitating for a few seconds, and finally decided to go up. Sadako pointed here, which meant that the gate was here. If she wanted to leave the subspace, she had to go up, no matter who was in front of her.
Lin Xi continued to move forward. The higher she went, the more green energy stones she saw. Gradually, blood and human corpses also appeared.
Why kill people? Shouldn't we all be united and leave together
"Sato, give me the wood energy crystal. When we get out, I'll trade it for the fire one." A man's voice came from the temple, speaking standard Mandarin. He was Chinese. "It's just an energy crystal. We don't have to fight over life and death."
"You... are not my opponent, and you are not qualified... to negotiate terms." The other voice sounded familiar to Lin Yan. It had a foreign accent and belonged to the R country man who was wearing a kimono before.
The two people inside are fighting over something, a wood energy crystal. Is it the same thing as an energy stone
Lin Xi hid outside and didn't dare to go in. If she, a weakling, went in, she would only die.
"I'll exchange it for two fire energy crystals." the man said again.
"Three pieces." Sato said.
"Okay." The man gritted his teeth and agreed, obviously reluctant, but he had no choice, "But I don't have it on me, I'll give it to you after I get out."
"Then contact me after you get out." After saying that, Sato swung his knife and killed the last ghost in the temple. As the ghost turned into dust, the entire subspace suddenly shook.
The temple collapsed, and a strong light came from the sky and fell on a big tree outside the temple. The trunk of the tree shook strangely, revealing a vortex.
exit!
At the same time, in the collapsed temple, Sato and a middle-aged man in sportswear also saw Lin Xi. They were both stunned at the same time, and the middle-aged man in sportswear subconsciously raised his sword and wanted to chop at Lin Xi. Lin Xi was shocked and turned around and ran towards the exit.
It's too dangerous here. Why does everyone want to kill her
While Lin Xi was running towards the exit desperately, Sadako's long hair was flying towards Sato desperately, trying to snatch the green crystal from Sato's hand.
Sato's eyes turned cold, and he swung his samurai sword towards the long hair, which was cut off instantly.
With such strength, he dares to covet his wood crystal. He is simply courting death.
Sato took advantage of Sadako's long hair to attack again, suddenly put away the knife, and instead used his hands to grab her long hair.
"Ah!" Lin Xi was pulled to the ground while running. Turning back, she found that her hair was pulled by the man in kimono and held in his hand.
Just as Sato was about to use his strength to pull Lin Yan back, Lin Yan pointed the ruler in her hand at Sato and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Sato ignored Lin Ping and continued to pull her hair back.
The other party doesn't answer the question at all. Can't the skill be activated
Just when Lin Xi was about to despair, a system prompt appeared.
[Asshole, you didn't answer the question, you will be punished with ten strokes of the ruler. ]
Can activate skills.
"Stretch out your hand." As Lin Xi finished speaking, Sato's right hand rose uncontrollably. Lin Xi took the opportunity to pull out her long hair, got up, and ran towards the exit again. Sadako's long hair also took advantage of the situation and swept away the wood crystal in Sato's clothes.
"Baga!" Sato was furious. A powerful energy burst out from his body, breaking the restraint of the ruler.
[Skill interrupted.]
Um?!!!
Why would the skill be interrupted? Without thinking, Lin Yan ran forward desperately. Fortunately, she was not far from the exit. She ran to the exit in just two steps and plunged in.
Behind him, Sato grabbed Sadako's long hair and chased after her.
