This time when Lin Xi entered the subspace, she still appeared in a closed room. The only difference was that this time the room looked like that of a wealthy family, with an elegant layout and exquisite furnishings. The vases placed randomly gave off an antique feel.
After Lin Xi came in, she stayed in the room without moving, praying that her resentful colleague, the King of Wu, would come.
"It's been almost half an hour. Big brother, have you entered the subspace? We came in through the same door, so our birthplaces should be in the same place. You haven't shown up for such a long time. It can't be that you didn't catch up in the end?" Whenever Lin Xi thought that the King of Wu might not have entered the subspace, her eyes went dark.
This is a Class B subspace. If I were the only one who came in, I would be dead. Didn't you say you would push me away when you felt the energy fluctuation? How come I was the only one who came in
It's all because the air conditioner is too expensive and the house is too empty. She was blinded by money. Knowing that she is an unlucky person, why did she risk her life for 200,000 yuan? Lin Xi, Lin Xi, even if you have a lot of money, you still have to live to spend it.
Lin Xi rolled around in bed in a quilt, yes, she was in bed now. It wasn't that Lin Xi wanted to sleep in someone else's bed on purpose, it was just that this place was too cold. When Lin Xi came here, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but the temperature in this room was at most zero degrees, Lin Xi really couldn't stand it, so she had no choice but to wrap herself in a quilt.
Lin Yan waited for nearly half an hour, and reluctantly accepted the worst possible outcome. The King of Dirty might not have come in, or he might have come in but appeared somewhere else.
No matter which possibility it is, all she can do now is rely on herself.
"If I can get out alive, I will never forgive you unless you give me 400,000 yuan." Lin Yan threw the quilt fiercely, shivered with cold, and quickly wrapped it up again, "What kind of weather is this? It's so cold."
Lin Yan got off the bed wrapped in a quilt, quietly approached the window, and imitated the peeping skills in costume dramas. She wet her fingers with saliva, gently poked through the window paper, and looked out. What she saw was a dazzling white, silver-clad, without a trace of other colors.
It’s snowing so heavily, no wonder it’s so cold.
Lin Yan wrapped herself in a quilt and wandered around the room, and finally found a wooden wardrobe behind a screen. She opened the wardrobe and found neatly folded clothes inside. Underwear, middle clothes, outer clothes, everything was available, and they were all women's clothes.
Lin Xi was not surprised by this. The layout of this room looked like an ancient woman's boudoir.
"Change clothes first, then find a way to get out, otherwise the energy in your body will be sucked dry by the subspace." Lin Xi was freezing, and she didn't care whether the clothes looked good or not, and only picked the thick ones. After putting on her clothes, she went to look for shoes, and successfully found a pair of boots that seemed to be made of some animal skin under the closet. Lin Xi was ecstatic, and didn't care whether the original owner might have athlete's foot. She kicked off her sandals and put on the boots.
"It's finally warm." But the color of the cloak is too eye-catching, bright red. In this icy and snowy weather, the contrast between white and red is too eye-catching. But Lin Yan has no choice, because there is only this cloak in the room. Either don't wear it, or you can only wear red.
"They look like a wealthy family. Why don't they have a few more cloaks? But anyway, thank you for lending me your clothes, young lady." Although she knew that the owner of the house was dead or had turned into a spirit, Lin Xi still sincerely thanked the empty house before leaving.
If she didn't have the clothes in this room, she would have frozen to death in an hour at most. Or if she was not in this room but in some wilderness, she would have frozen to death.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xi felt that her luck didn't seem to be too bad.
Before stepping out of the door, Lin Xi took out Sadako's long hair from the system item bar and put it on herself, and also took out the master's ruler. Only when she was equipped with the two props did she feel a little confident.
"Sister Sadako, take me to find the exit." If you want to leave here, you must find the exit, and where there is an exit, there must be someone.
Lin Xi opened the door and stepped into the snow against the biting cold wind.
Sadako's long hair was messed up by the wind and snow, but there was always a strand of hair that guided Lin Xi in the direction.
Lin Yan followed the guidance of the long hair and walked to the outer courtyard. As soon as she crossed the corridor, she met a spirit holding a tray. The spirit had no specific facial features, and the clothes on its body and the things in its hands were all energy. Lin Yan vaguely guessed that this was probably the appearance of the spirit restored by the subspace before its death.
The spirit she met was holding something like a tray in its hand. Lin Xi guessed that this spirit must have been a maid in this courtyard when she was alive.
Lin Xi hid behind the archway cleverly, and waited for the maid spirit to pass by before she came out from behind the archway and continued to walk forward. However, after walking a few steps, she turned a corner and ran into another maid spirit carrying a tray. The spirit and the person were only two steps apart, and the spirit's green eyes stared at her without blinking.
"!!" Lin Xi was stunned on the spot.
Was I discovered? Would she attack me? Should I run away now, or just pretend I didn't see anything
Although Lin Yan had been to the subspace many times, she was running for her life the whole time, and the only communication she had with the spirits was picking up the energy stones they dropped after they died. The information Assistant Tan gave her only said that the spirits were the natives of the subspace, and did not say how to deal with them specifically.
Lin Xi thought of countless solutions in her mind. Finally, she decided to pretend she didn't see it, looked away, and tried to walk past the spirit.
As a human being, we should value peace and avoid fighting if possible.
Lin Xi walked forward step by step, and as she moved, the eyes of the maid spirit also moved inch by inch with her. Then, Lin Xi felt that something was wrong, because she found that the mouth of the maid spirit, or should be the mouth, anyway, it was a black spot under the eye, which was getting bigger and rounder, and then it made a sharp cry.
“#@%#￥%”
Lin Yan didn't understand what the maid yelled, she just ran out instinctively. The maid spirit behind her saw her running away, and chased after her with a tray. After a while, the maid spirit was followed by a team of guard spirits, each holding a stick or something like that in their hands, rushing out from all directions, and soon successfully blocked Lin Yan in the middle of a courtyard.
My life is over!
Lin Xi looked at the numerous spirits around her, at least thirty of them, holding up the master's ruler with trembling arms, making their final struggle.
"￥%#￥… ##" A tall spirit came out from the crowd and said something to Lin Yan. Lin Yan didn't understand what the other party meant, but from the tone of his voice, she could tell that he was very angry.
"You...what are you saying? I don't understand." Lin Yan said subconsciously.
"Little thief, why did you steal my lady's clothes?"
Um
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. She seemed to understand what was said just now? She could understand the language of spirits, no, the language of the natives of the sub-space
Wait, her young lady's clothes? Lin Yan looked down at the clothes on her body and asked tentatively, "Are the clothes I'm wearing your young lady's?"
"Yes!" The voice of the spirit was a rough male voice. Lin Xi guessed that the other party should be the housekeeper of this mansion.
I can really understand!
"Well, you misunderstood. I didn't steal. I borrowed." As long as they could communicate, Lin Yan explained hastily, "It's too cold here. I would freeze to death if I don't wear clothes. I really have no choice, so I borrowed your young lady's clothes. You won't just watch me freeze to death without helping me, right?"
"Anyone who takes things without asking is a thief. Come on, catch him." said the spirit of the housekeeper.
It’s over. We can communicate but I can’t make sense. I’m dead!
Just when Lin Xi was in despair, the system prompt sound suddenly rang.
[Asshole, no mercy at all, ten lashes of the ruler will be imposed on you.]
Skill activated?!
Lin Xi raised the ruler without hesitation and pointed it at the butler's spirit: "Stretch out your hand."
The butler's spirit body froze, and he stood there in a daze, slowly raising his right hand.
"Snap!" Lin Yan raised her hand and slapped the housekeeper's spirit with the ruler. The housekeeper's spirit wailed and twisted uncontrollably. When the spirit stabilized, it was obviously much weaker and not as solid as before. It seemed that the ruler not only brought physical pain, but also weakened the spirit.
Wait, these indigenous people don't have daggers, so... could it be that Mr. Meng's ruler is actually used to attack spirits? If so, this ruler...
Killer weapon!
Lin Xi was so excited that she wanted to hug the ruler and give it a kiss.
"Sir, you are teaching me a lesson. I know I was wrong." The butler's spirit looked like he was being taught a lesson, as if the punishment just now had taught him the principles of life again.
[It is the greatest virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them.]
"Yes, may I ask if you have any other instructions?" The butler's spirit seemed to be able to hear the system prompt and spoke directly.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and tried to say: "I want to leave the subspace, do you know how to get out?"
"Excuse me sir, what is subspace?" asked the butler's spirit.
Don't know? Yes, subspace is what people outside call the inside. People inside definitely don't know what subspace is. Just like if there are aliens, people on Earth don't know what aliens call the Earth. In that case, it's probably impossible to ask them for a way to leave.
The information said that there were two ways to leave the subspace. One was to kill enough natives, collect a certain number of energy stones, and open a one-time space gate. The other was to kill all the natives in the entire subspace.
Both methods require killing the spirit. If it was before, Lin Yan would definitely kill it, after all, it was the only way to leave the subspace. But now she has communicated with the spirit through the ruler, so she is a little reluctant to kill it. Moreover, the other party is not shouting at her to kill now.
"Do you have energy stones?" Lin Xi didn't want to kill the spirit, but she needed energy stones.
"Energy stones?" The butler's spirit shook his head and said, "All the energy stones in the city were taken away by the city lord."
"Why did the city lord take away all the energy stones?" Lin Xi didn't know whether the spirit housekeeper was talking about things in the past or things that were happening now, but no matter which one it was, the city lord must have a large number of energy stones in his hands.
"Because a great disaster is coming, the city lord has to use energy stones to consolidate the formation. If the formation is broken, the entire city will be covered in ice and snow." said the spiritual housekeeper.
Covered with ice and snow, isn’t this place covered with ice and snow
"Where is the center of the formation?" Lin Wei asked.
"Fengxue Tower, the tallest building in the city." said the spiritual butler.
Since it is the tallest building, it should be easy to find. If she can sneak in successfully and pick up enough energy stones from it, she can leave here easily.
Judging from the reaction of the housekeeper's spirit, the people here have a natural reverence for the Master, and after activating the ruler's skill, the person holding the ruler seems to have become the Master by default, which is the Master in the housekeeper's mouth. Sure enough, even if the dimensions are different, the Master is still the Master. Mr. Meng is worthy of educating everyone. Awesome, awesome!
Moreover, while the skill was activated, she could also understand the language of the subspace. Could it be that after the ruler asked the question, in order to facilitate the question and answer and allow both parties to communicate normally, it ignored the difference in language and formed some kind of communication on the soul level
I still say that, Mr. Meng, you’re awesome!
Lin Xi suddenly became less nervous. It was like when she went abroad alone. At first, she couldn't speak the language and was unfamiliar with everything. She felt lost and scared. But once she understood the language of that country and could communicate with the people there, she was no longer so scared.
"Can you take me there?" Lin asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave this mansion, but I can take you to the door and show you the direction." said the butler's spirit.
That works too.
"Okay, then take me out." Let's leave here first and see if we can meet the King of Dirt. Lin Yan still wanted to believe that the King of Dirt had come in.
If the King of Dirt came in, would Senior Chen Chu come in as well? Although Senior Chen Chu did not plan to enter the subspace at first, what if he came in as well
Unfortunately, there is no TV in the subspace. If there is, Sadako can definitely crawl into the TV closest to Senior Chen Chu. But the premise is that Senior Chen Chu comes in.
Lin Yan thought about it while walking out under the guidance of the housekeeper's spirit. Because of the housekeeper's spirit leading the way, Lin Yan was not hostile to the spirits in the mansion and walked out of the mansion safely and smoothly.
The butler's spirit stood inside the door and bowed deeply to Lin Yan: "Sir, if you go east, you will see Fengxue Tower."
"Thank you." Lin Yan thanked him and walked on the snow towards Fengxue Tower. After walking for a distance, the system prompt appeared again.
[Skill interrupted.]
The skill was interrupted. Is it out of control
Lin looked back and estimated the distance between herself and the housekeeper's spirit, which was about five meters. Therefore, the Master's ruler had a range of five meters.
Lin Yan remembered this range and continued to move forward. Coincidentally, Sadako's long hair was also pointing to the east. From this, it can be inferred that not only the energy stone is there, but also the exit.
Perhaps because of the snow, there was no one on the streets. Every household had their doors and windows closed, and there was no sound.
So weird? Not only are there no spirits, there aren't even any supernatural beings
Lin Xin walked very cautiously at first, but after walking for a while, she found that there was nothing unusual on the road, so she relaxed her vigilance and started running quickly. Just when her body was getting a little hot, the lottery box suddenly shook.
[Yunzhou, male, 9 years old, was being beaten for stealing.]
Divination? Is there anyone here
Stealing? Why does it sound so familiar
"Get out of here!" Before Lin Yan finished her analysis, a childish voice suddenly rang out from the door on the right. Lin Yan looked at the door that was almost facing her, and instinctively took three steps back.
And just as she stepped back, a huge explosion was heard from inside the door, and then the huge bronze door that was three meters high was blown apart and collapsed. A piece of debris flew over from the place where Lin Yan had just stood and directly inserted into the opposite wall.
“…” Lin Xi.
I knew I would get into trouble.
Before Lin Xi could recover from the disaster, a thin figure suddenly rolled out from the smoke and dust. He had his back to Lin Xi, and was wearing a grey robe and covered in blood. He was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.
Suddenly, he keenly sensed someone behind him. He turned around abruptly, switched to combat mode as quickly as possible, and looked at Lin Xi vigilantly.
Lin Yan then saw the boy's appearance clearly, a young baby face that looked somewhat familiar. Before Lin Yan could figure out where this familiarity came from, the boy suddenly raised his right hand, holding a revolver, pointing it straight at her.
"R countryman?" the boy asked indifferently.
Seeing the gun, Lin Yan instinctively raised her hands: "Misunderstanding, I am Chinese, a compatriot."
"Liar, your hair shows that you are from R country." The boy insisted, "My dad said that if you meet a R countryman in the subspace, you should kill him if you see him."
“…”Sister Sadako misled me.
Just as the boy was about to shoot, Lin Yan suddenly had an idea and recited the core values of socialism: "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony... patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness."
"Chinese?" The young man was stunned and released his hand that was holding the trigger.
It is certain that those who can recite the core socialist values must be Chinese.
