The young man stood up from the ground and looked down at his injuries. Lin Xi, from a distance, looked into the house that had been blown open.
"Why hasn't anyone chased us out?" The two of them had been lingering at the door for so long, if there were pursuers, they would have caught up with them long ago.
"They can't get out." The boy replied in a clear voice.
"Why?" Lin Xi asked curiously. When the butler's spirit sent her to the door, he seemed to have said that he could not leave the mansion. Is there any connection between them
"So you're just a rookie." A hint of contempt flashed in the boy's eyes.
"You..." Lin Yan felt uncomfortable. It would be fine if someone else said that, after all, she was indeed a rookie, but it was a bit hurtful to hear such words coming from a nine-year-old child. "You are not much better, are you? I said I was Chinese, and you immediately put down your gun. What if I am a bad guy?"
"Haha," the young man smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "You're the only F-level one?"
With a "puff" sound, a sharp arrow called language pierced through Lin Xi's chest.
Whose child is this? So rude.
Wait, Lin Xi suddenly remembered, this child is nine years old, and the King of Wu’s younger brother seems to be nine years old as well
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xi looked at the boy's eyes again, and finally found the source of that faint sense of familiarity. This man must be the younger brother of the King of Wu. The eyes of the two men seemed to be cast from the same mold.
"Are you the brother of the King of Dirty?" Lin Xi's tone became much more intimate.
"Who is the King of Filth?" asked the young man.
"Wu Wang is..." Lin Yan was stunned. What was Wu Wang's name? She didn't know Wu Wang well. They had only talked a few times in the group. Apart from his ID and knowing that Wu Wang was good at cursing, she knew almost nothing about him. "Wu Wang is a colleague of mine. He is in Jin City. His ability is to curse. He said that he has a younger brother who entered the sub-space. Is this brother you?"
Lin Xi told the young man all the information she knew about the King of Dirty.
"I don't have a brother." The boy said, turned and left.
This kid doesn't have a brother? Did I make a mistake? But the two really look alike. They look similar, are both nine years old, and entered the same sub-space at the same time. They are a perfect match.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. The important thing is to go to Fengxue Tower first.
As Lin Xi was speaking, she was about to leave with the young man. After taking two steps, she suddenly thought of something, paused, stopped in the middle of the road, and turned to face the house whose door had just been blasted open by the young man.
There were seven or eight guarding spirits standing in the open gate, and behind them was a messy courtyard. From the noise just now and the boy's injuries, it was not difficult to guess that the boy had fought his way out from inside. This boy named Yun Zhou should be like her, who randomly appeared in this house after entering the subspace, and then like her, because the weather was too cold, he wore the clothes inside and became a thief that everyone hated.
These are not the main points. The main point is that since the boy killed his way out, many spirits inside should have died. After the spirits die, they will drop energy stones.
Lin Yan's heart moved, and she walked towards the gate. About three steps away from the guard spirits, across the threshold, the ruler pointed at one of the spirits and asked, "Can I come in?"
"No, go away," the spirit refused.
"???" Lin Yan was stunned. Where is the Master's aura? Why is it not working
Lin Xi recalled the experience of dealing with the housekeeper's spirit before. At the beginning, the housekeeper's spirit didn't pay much attention to her and even scolded her for taking things without asking and being a thief. Then the Master's ruler skill was activated and she took the opportunity to hit the other party with the ruler.
Lin Xi's eyes gradually brightened up. Could it be that she had to be beaten with a ruler first before the master's halo would light up
The more Lin Xi thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. As a teacher, how could he have the dignity of a teacher if he didn't educate his children
After realizing this, Lin Yan's expression changed. She pointed the ruler at the other person and asked again: "Do you know how many colors the traffic lights have?"
The spirit was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Red, green?"
[Asshole, ignorant and unskillful, ten lashes of the ruler will be punished. ]
"You can't even answer such a simple question? Raise your hand!" Lin Xi was very disappointed. You said, I've told you two of the three colors, and you don't know this. You can't blame me.
The spirit raised its right hand obediently. Lin Xi raised the ruler and gently hit the spirit's palm.
Well, after all, it was a bit of bullying, so she didn't feel comfortable using too much force.
The spirit groaned, and the soul trembled. When he looked at Lin Yan again, his attitude was indeed different: "So it's you, sir. May I ask what you have to teach me?"
Lin Xi straightened her back immediately and said in a dignified manner, "I heard that the city lord is in Fengxue Tower to strengthen the formation and is in urgent need of energy stones. I saw that there are quite a few scattered in your courtyard, so I want to collect them and send them over."
"So that's how it is. I will arrange someone to help you collect them," said the spirit.
There is such a good thing? Lin Yan was overjoyed, but she said politely: "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, sir." After saying that, the spirit turned around and said a bunch of gibberish to the other spirits behind him. Those spirits then ran back into the yard and bent down to pick up the scattered energy stones.
At this point, Lin Yan also discovered something, that is, her psychic ability, that is, the ability to communicate with spirits, seems to only work on spirits that have established a connection with the ruler. Just because she can now understand the language of one spirit, it does not mean that she can understand the language of other spirits without a teacher. This also further confirms Lin Yan's previous speculation that the communication generated by the ruler is indeed a kind of communication between the soul and the mind.
As the saying goes, more spirits mean more power. In just a few minutes, the spirit collected a small bag of energy stones and handed it to Lin Yan: "Please, sir, send it to Fengxue Tower."
"I will." Lin Xi took the cloth bag of energy stones from the other party and quietly opened it. There were all blue energy stones, at least fifty of them.
I've made a fortune. With these energy stones, I should be able to open the subspace door. I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time.
Lin An'an suppressed her joy and said goodbye to the spirit: "Then I will go to Fengxue Tower."
"Take care, sir."
"By the way, there are three colors of traffic lights: red, yellow, and green. Remember that?" After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and left without caring about the spirit's reaction. Anyway, the skill was over and she didn't understand it anymore.
Lin Yan touched her body and found that this ancient costume had no pockets, but there was a rope on the bag that could be tied around the waist. But Lin Yan was always worried that the rope was not strong or would fall off when fighting or running, so she stuffed it into the lapel of her chest for safety.
After hiding the things, Lin Xi continued to move forward. Just as she reached the entrance of the alley where two houses intersected, a figure flashed out from inside and pointed a familiar gun at her head.
This time, Lin Yan did not raise her hand subconsciously, but looked back at the boy, with the ruler in her hand secretly pointing at him. Earlier, the boy pointed a gun at her, and Lin Yan raised her hand out of ordinary people's instinct, but afterwards Lin Yan was scared. Because this is no longer an ordinary world, raising your hand will not stop the other party from shooting, but will make it easier for the other party to kill you. If the boy had not intended to kill her just now, she would have died by now.
"What do you mean?" Lin Xi opened her mouth with a question.
"Can you communicate with the spirits here?" the boy asked.
[Your answer is irrelevant, you will be punished with ten lashes.]
The skill was successfully activated, and Lin Xi felt certain in her heart, and her expression became even calmer.
"I… "
"You don't have to deny it. I saw it all." It turned out that the young man Yun Zhou had not walked far. He walked forward alone for a while. When he noticed that Lin Yan had not caught up with him, he looked back curiously. Then he was shocked to find that Lin Yan had taken the initiative to walk towards the house where he had fought so hard to escape. What happened next was even more surprising to him. The spirits that almost killed him not only did not deal with Lin Yan, but took the initiative to collect the energy stones and gave them to her.
Those were all his energy stones, but he had no time to pick them up in order to fight his way out.
"What do you want?" Lin Yan didn't know the boy's ability level, and she had no other lethal weapons except a ruler that could control people. If they really had to fight, Lin Yan didn't know if she could win, so she didn't fight if she could. Also, the boy didn't attack her directly when he pointed a gun at her for the first time, which proved that he was not a murderer by nature.
You can try to communicate.
"The energy stones you just got were all from people I killed," the young man said.
During Lin Yan's silence, the boy thought that she disagreed, so he thought for a moment and said, "I can only take half."
"You're only taking half?" Lin Xi was a little surprised that he was so easy to talk to.
"Although these energy stones were dropped after I killed the spirits, I don't have the ability to collect them. You collected these, so I can give you half." The boy continued, "If you agree, we can even continue to cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Lin Yan asked with interest, "How to cooperate?"
"Do you know which subspace this is?" the boy asked.
This sentence contained a lot of information. From the boy's words, Lin Yan could guess that this subspace had a name and might have detailed records. That's right, she had entered the subspace twice in less than half a month, which showed that the subspace was opened very frequently. It was normal for the official to name it and collect information.
"I don't know. This is my first time entering this subspace." Lin Xi did not hide it. Anyway, the boy saw through her rookie status at the first sight.
"This is subspace B-106, Blizzard City." The boy said, "I have seen the information about this subspace. How about we work together, with my knowledge and your ability, to collect enough energy stones and open the space gate? Don't worry, I can keep your ability a secret."
Since the emergence of the subspace, the authorities have been studying the language of the natives of the subspace, but because no one can survive in the subspace for a long time, the language of the natives of the subspace has never been deciphered. It is said that some of the official subspace researchers can understand some simple conversations, but the number of people who can master it is extremely small.
"You can cooperate, but I'll ask you another question," Lin Xi said.
"You ask." There was uneasiness in the boy's eyes. In fact, it was the first time for him to enter such a dangerous subspace alone, and he was also very scared.
"You really don't have a brother?" The more Lin Xi looked at the boy, the more she felt that he looked very similar to the King of Wu.
"No, I only have cousins, but no biological brothers." The young man said angrily.
I didn't ask you if you are my cousin, my cousin or my biological brother. Why did you give such a detailed answer
Lin Xi didn't know why the boy didn't want to admit that the King of Dirty was his brother, but she had basically determined the boy's identity. For the King of Dirty's sake, the boy could still be trusted. To be honest, she was still not sure whether the King of Dirty and Chen Chu had come in. If they really hadn't come in, she also needed to understand the information of the subspace.
"Okay, let's cooperate. Tell me the information about the subspace first." Lin Xi said.
The boy's face lit up, and he put the gun pointed at Lin Xi back. Lin Xi looked at the gun the boy had put away, and said something in her heart, no matter how cautious a child is, he is still easy to trust others.
"Subspace B-106, Blizzard City, is a relatively common B-level subspace. It is called Blizzard City because it will soon be covered by a blizzard."
Snowstorm? Is that the catastrophe the spirit steward mentioned before
"If you go and take a look on the city wall, you will find that the outside of Blizzard City has been completely covered by ice and snow. This city is protected by a formation in the center of the city. The formation is in a tall building in the city, but the formation can only last until dark. After dark, the blizzard will invade the city and destroy everything. Therefore, we must collect enough energy stones before dark, open the space gate and leave here, otherwise we will all be buried alive by the blizzard." The boy told Lin Yan what he knew about the subspace.
Lin Xi was stunned and horrified after hearing what she heard. So, instead of leaving the subspace before her energy was drained, if she didn't leave before dark, she would be buried alive
Lin Yan was terrified. She even thought about hiding in the house and waiting for Wu Wang and Chen Chu to come find her. Fortunately, she didn't do that, otherwise she would have been stupid enough to die.
Lin Xi looked up at the sky. It was dark and without sunlight, so she couldn't tell the time at all.
"How long do you think it will take until dark?" Lin Xi asked the boy.
The boy looked down at his watch and said, "I've been here for almost an hour. According to official data, Blizzard City is safe for 3-4 hours, so we still have 2-3 hours. To be on the safe side, it's best to calculate it as two hours."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Lin Yan was anxious, dragging the boy forward. After finding all the energy stones, they still had to find an exit. God knows how much time it would take. "Let's go and see if there are any empty houses ahead that have been killed. Let's go and pick up some."
"Wait a moment." The young man pulled Lin Xi.
"What? Time waits for no one." Lin Xi said anxiously.
"There's no need to look for an empty house where someone was killed. As long as it's a wealthy family, there must be someone inside," said the young man.
"You want to charge in?" Lin Yan frowned. "It's not that I doubt you, but you just got out of there and you're already half dead. If you charge in again... you may not be able to get out."
Although Lin Yan can communicate with spirits, it seems that the spirits just trust her more. Their IQ is normal, so she can't order the spirits to stand there and wait for the children to kill them. Even if the ruler is really that powerful, it would be too slow to control and kill them one by one.
"The person I'm talking about is not a spirit, but a psychic." The young man explained, "The opening of the subspace is to devour the psychic's own powers. The reason why Blizzard City is rated as a Class B subspace is because every house here has Class B combat power. The psychics who enter here will be randomly assigned to a house, and then rely on their own abilities to fight their way out of the house. Those who can't fight their way out will become nutrients for the subspace."
"You mean..." Lin Yan looked at the closed doors on the street and was instantly horrified.
What the kid meant was that there might be a person with special powers locked up in every house here, and the doors were closed because they were unable to fight their way out and died inside.
If this is true, how many houses like this would there be in this city, and how many people would die here. At this moment, Lin Yan once again clearly realized the cruelty and danger of the subspace. If she didn't have a ruler, she would have already become the nourishment of the subspace.
At the same time, in the center of the city, Chen Chu stood on the roof of Fengxue Tower, overlooking the entire city. There were tens of thousands of courtyards in this city, but which one would Lin Yan appear in randomly
"Chen Chu?" Someone suddenly called him from below.
Chen Chu looked down and saw the Dirty King kicking a man with a bloody face and snatching a bag of energy stones from him: "Have you seen my brother and Lin Yan?"
"No." Chen Chu shook his head.
"This city is too big. My brother is okay. He has a lot of life-saving tools on him. He should be able to get out of the house. But Lin Yan..." The King of Wu held back and didn't say anything too absolute. "It's really unlucky that Xiao Wen has certified."
"He's trying to help you." Chen Chu reminded.
"I know. I didn't expect the space gate to swallow her first. If I had known, I would... Never mind. It's useless to say this now." The Dirty King thought for a while and said, "Why don't we start with the attribute of bad luck?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Chu asked.
"According to official data, there are four haunted houses in Blizzard City." The so-called haunted houses do not mean that there are ghosts in the houses, but refer to the four mansions with the highest spiritual combat power levels in Blizzard City. If the psychics who are randomly assigned to enter these four mansions are not at the A level, it is almost impossible for them to come out alive. Even if they are at the A level, there are still people who die in them. "If Lin Yan is unlucky enough, will she be randomly assigned to one of the four haunted houses?"
Although with Lin Xi's ability level, any house here could kill her, but since it was Xiao Wen's certified bad luck, they could just guess the worst.
Chen Chu frowned. Given Lin Yan's bad luck, this was a possibility. But if it was really the case...
"It's been more than half an hour. If Lin Yan was really assigned to it, she might have already..." After analyzing it over and over again, the King of Wu suddenly felt that there seemed to be only one way left for Lin Yan, which was to die.
"I'll go take a look." Chen Chu flew up on the eaves and flew towards one of the four most haunted houses.
Chen Chu was more optimistic than the King of Dirty, because he knew that Lin Yan had a life-saving trump card. Last time, she was able to dodge the attack of the black spider calmly. Although there were many spirits here, their combat power was far inferior to that of the black spider, so there should be no danger in the short term.
"Meet here in an hour and a half." Wu Wang Chao shouted to Chen Chu, and regardless of whether Chen Chu heard him or not, he chose a main street and ran away. If his brother Yun Zhou rushed out of the house, he would definitely come here along the main street. If he looked along the main street, he might meet him if things went well.
At this time, the two speculated that if the situation was good, Lin Yan might be hiding in the house, and if the situation was bad, she might have died. So she took Yunzhou to start the looting mode.
When encountering a closed door, little Yunzhou goes up first and uses seeds to grow branches. The branches reach in from the crack of the door and pull open the bolt. After the door is opened, a spirit appears. At this time, Lin Yan comes on the scene, and the Master's Halo is activated. In just five minutes, a bag of energy stones is harvested.
After robbing, no, politely asking for money from seven or eight houses, the two of them had enough energy stones to go out.
