Seventh floor
How did I end up on the seventh floor
Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to hold on to something. Her legs were a little weak. "I... I was clearly going to the sixth floor, right?"
Spirit: "You went to the sixth floor. I brought you up here."
Lin Yan: “Why?!”
The spirit did not answer, but just stared at her quietly with its deep green eyes. However, just this quiet stare made Lin Xi feel so depressed that she couldn't breathe.
Soon, Lin realized her mistake: "Sorry... I was too loud."
Spirit: “It’s okay.”
Lin Yan swallowed her saliva nervously, her whole body tense. She didn't know why the other party suddenly brought her to the seventh floor, but this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she had to find a way to leave here.
I have an energy stone on me. As long as I leave the barrier on the seventh floor and reach the exit, I can leave the subspace smoothly.
Lin Xi's hand holding the ruler trembled slightly, and she had a plan in mind. The barrier was right behind her, very close, so close that she only needed to take a step back to escape the barrier, and the master's ruler skill had already been activated, so she only needed to control the opponent for a second, even if it was not a second, just a moment, as long as she could take this step.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, raised her head again, and began to ask: "Do you know how much my air conditioner cost?"
The spirit shook his head very honestly: "I don't know, what is air conditioning?"
[If you are ignorant and unskillful, you will be punished with ten rulers.]
"Boom! Boom!"
Lin Xi's heart was beating violently. She raised her hand and pointed the ruler at the other person, while preparing to retreat.
"Reach out your hand!"
Lin Xi never expected that the Master's ruler could control the opponent. The moment the skill was activated, she used all her strength to escape from the barrier without caring about anything.
Just one step, just one step and she can leave the barrier. Lin Xi pulled back her right foot, but the spirit on the throne didn't react at all. She pulled back her left foot again, but the spirit still didn't react.
Success?!
With a loud bang, huge pain came from every part of her body. The harder Lin Yan had retreated, the harder she was hit. The barrier behind her had turned into an iron wall at some point. If this was a four-frame comic, the author would have drawn a scene where Lin Yan was hit like a paper man and slowly slid down the barrier.
"hehe"
Joyful laughter echoed in the hall. The spirit on the throne seemed to have not seen such an interesting scene for a long time. He laughed so hard that he fell sideways on the throne. Although he was originally sitting sideways on the throne, Lin Yan's behavior made him laugh straight and then change his position.
Lin Yan turned back with a sad face and said weakly: "Boss, I was wrong."
Spirit: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yan: "I shouldn't have overestimated my own abilities and tried to escape."
The spirit nodded: "You are very sincere in admitting your mistakes."
Lin Xi smiled bitterly. How could she not be sincere? She couldn't beat him, and she didn't dare to scold him. What could she do
Spirit: "The ruler in your hand is quite interesting. It can actually activate the power of the soul and allow you to communicate with me."
Lin Xi held the ruler in both hands and did not dare to answer.
Spirit: "What kind of tool is this?"
Seeing that the other party had asked, Lin Yan could only answer honestly: "This is a ruler used by Mencius, a very famous philosopher, thinker, and educator on our planet."
The spirit nodded thoughtfully: "The ruler used in his lifetime can actually form the power of rules, so his influence on your world must be great."
Lin Yan: “Yes…very big.”
The spirit knew the origin of the ruler and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, it looked at Lin Xi's hair: "Your hair is very interesting. It seems to have some spiritual consciousness of its own."
Lin Yan was very well-behaved. She took the initiative to explain without the spirit asking further questions: "This is Sadako's long hair. Sadako is a person's name. After she died, she became a ghost, and then..."
As Lin Xi was explaining, she suddenly discovered a bug. Sadako gained the ability to crawl onto the TV only after she turned into a ghost. Ghosts are souls, and ghost hair is also in a spiritual state. How could it be a physical object
Lin Xi couldn't figure it out and was stuck.
The spirit understood automatically: "Then you found her body, cut her hair, and imprisoned her soul in her hair?"
"!!!" Lin Yan hastily denied, "I didn't!"
The spirit said nonchalantly: "It's done, it's not a big deal."
Isn’t this a big deal
The spirit's eyes moved down and looked at the sticker on Lin Yan's chest: "This thing on your chest is quite interesting. I feel the power of protection."
"this is… "
Just as Lin Xi was about to explain, the spirit suddenly lost its patience, raised its hand, and waved it at Lin Xi casually. A stream of black air gushed out from the wide sleeves of the spirit and attacked Lin Xi's face. It was so fast that it was too late for Lin Xi to dodge.
Just when the black air was about to hit Lin Xi's face, seven figures appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Lin Xi, blocking the black air.
"Grandpa, we are here to save you, let's combine." After saying that, the seven Calabash Brothers suddenly formed a pyramid shape and turned into Calabash Brothers in a golden light.
"Calabash Brothers!" Lin Yan almost cried with joy, and hope was rekindled in her heart. Since Calabash Brothers could pass through the barrier to protect him, they could definitely take her out.
The gourd-shaped golden man with seven abilities stood in front of Lin Yan. He was not tall, but full of courage. He pointed at the spirit sitting on the throne fearlessly and shouted out the words that belonged to him: "Fairy, let me go..."
"boom!"
Before Calabash Brothers could finish their lines, a black aura came and blasted Calabash Brothers into ashes.
Lin Yan was excited: "..."
As the gourd-shaped golden man disappeared, the old man sticker on Lin Yan's chest suddenly caught fire and turned into ashes in an instant, which scattered on the ground. At the same time, another sticker corresponding to the old man sticker was also burned.
The Sea King, who was already wondering why Lin Yan hadn't replied yet, looked very serious when he saw the stickers being burned. "Why are the stickers burnt to ashes? Didn't the seven gourd brothers just appear?"
Yes, in Aquaman's timeline, it took only a few seconds from the time the seven Calabash Brothers were refreshed to the time the stickers were burned. Unlike any previous time, this time the Calabash Brothers appeared and disappeared instantly, and even when the stickers were burned, the BGM of the Calabash Brothers' appearance had just sung the second sentence.
Aquaman: "No, although the spirits on the sixth floor are powerful, they are not that strong."
He had been to the sixth floor twice. When he went there before, one Calabash Brothers could carry him back. It didn't make sense that seven Calabash Brothers couldn't carry him back after Lin Yan went there. Could it be that there was some unknown rule in this Soul Locking Tower, and that if the Calabash Brothers went there three times in a row, some hidden BOSS would be triggered
From the beginning, Chen Chu had been looking up at the direction of the roof, his face full of struggle and hesitation: he felt that the man had woken up, but he was clearly awake and aware that he was in the building at this moment, but he did not call him, why
Chen Chu came back to his senses and looked at Neptune.
Aquaman: "Why are you in a daze? Something happened to Lin Yan. Let's go to the sixth floor to check. I hope it's not a death curse."
In the Soul Locking Tower, the contents of the spirit curse are all kinds of strange, and the probability of the death curse is about 30%. But the death curse is not easy to succeed, because in order to perform the life and death curse, the curser's ability level must be one level higher than the cursed ability person to complete the curse. But even if you are cursed, you will not die immediately, and there will be a glimmer of hope, and there will be a one-day buffer period. If the ability person who is cursed by the death curse is lucky and finds the props to remove the death curse within a day, he can survive. But if the death curse is cast by a curser who is two levels higher, then the cursed person will die immediately, even if the props to remove the curse are at hand, it will be too late to use it.
So although the Soul Locking Tower is dangerous, the probability of death is not high, because most of the superpowers who can enter the Soul Locking Tower are above Level B. But Lin Xi is different, Lin Xi is Level F, if she is hit by the death curse, any spirit in the building can kill her.
And if Lin Xi was really dead, her body would appear outside the barrier on the sixth floor.
Aquaman said he wanted to go to the sixth floor to check out the situation, but what he actually wanted to see was whether Lin Xi's body was there.
Chen Chu: "Lin Yan is not on the sixth floor."
Aquaman: "Not on the sixth floor?"
Chen Chu said affirmatively: "She is on the seventh floor."
Aquaman: "Seventh floor? Is Lin Yan crazy? Why did she go to the seventh floor? Did she count the wrong floor when she was climbing the stairs?"
This reason was extremely stupid, but if he hadn't miscalculated the floor, Aquaman couldn't think of any other reason. No matter how he thought about it, going to the seventh floor was a death wish.
Because the man woke up, Chen Chu added silently, then raised his foot and walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Aquaman quickly pulled the man back and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Chu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took out the storage tool on his body and handed it to Hai Wang: "This is what Lin Yan bought at the material procurement meeting, take it out."
Hai Wang didn't answer and said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you going to risk your life to save Lin Yan? Are you that familiar with her? Is she worth your desperate efforts to save? And, to put it bluntly, Lin Yan may have died."
When the Calabash Brothers stickers turned to ashes, Aquaman felt that Lin Xi was most likely dead, but he just didn't have the heart to say it out loud.
Chen Chu shook his head: "She is not dead."
There is very little information about the seventh floor of the Soul Locking Tower. No one knows what is on the seventh floor. Some people who have been to the seventh floor and survived by chance are cursed and cannot reveal it. Therefore, the Sea King only knows that the seventh floor is dangerous, but does not know what is on the seventh floor. Chen Chu has been there, so he clearly knows that there are rules on the seventh floor. To be precise, the entire Soul Locking Tower is operated by certain rules. Lin Yan did not take the initiative to step onto the seventh floor, so the existence on the seventh floor cannot hurt her, so Lin Yan must still be alive.
But the rules also have loopholes. Although the existence of the seventh floor cannot actively harm Lin Yan, it can trap her. As long as she is trapped for three days, Lin Yan will be sucked dry by the subspace.
Aquaman: "Since she is not dead, there is no need to go up there. We just need to wait for her to come down."
Chen Chu forcefully stuffed the space prop into the arms of the Sea King, and before the Sea King had time to speak, he said, "Do you remember you just asked me if I was cursed?"
Aquaman was stunned, then seemed to realize something, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
Chen Chu said calmly: "I was cursed. Five years ago, I was cursed when I entered the subspace. It was the twelfth-order death curse."
The Sea King grabbed Chen Chu's arm and pulled hard, almost breaking his arm bone. However, Chen Chu remained calm and continued, "I can only live for another two years. The only way to break my curse is on the seventh floor, but I am not sure I can defeat the opponent. Going up there will probably result in immediate death, so I have never entered the Soul Locking Tower again. However, the seventh floor is my last chance."
After saying that, Chen Chu pushed away Neptune's hand, turned into a gust of wind and disappeared at the stairs.
Neptune held the space prop given to him by Chen Chu and stood at the exit for a long time without moving.
On the seventh floor, Lin Xi thought that the other party was going to kill her, but after defeating the Calabash King Kong, he did not continue to attack, but leaned back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
It only took Lin Xi ten seconds to change her mood from being afraid at first to thinking that since she was already like meat on the chopping board, she might as well just lie down.
Lin Xi: "Boss, can you please tell me the truth? Do I still have a chance to get out alive?" This directly depends on her attitude next.
The spirit chuckled and looked behind Lin Yan: "Is she here?"
Who is coming? Haven't I always been here
Lin Xi was just wondering when Chen Chu walked in silently from outside the barrier.
"Senior Chen Chu?" After seeing Chen Chu, Lin Yan, who was lying flat on her back, suddenly felt that she might still be able to struggle.
Lin Xi hurriedly ran behind Chen Chu.
Chen Chu waited for Lin Yan to approach before turning to look at the spirit on the throne: "High Priest, my friend did not take the initiative to step onto the seventh floor. According to the rules, you should not trap her here."
Spirit: "She emptied half of my Soul Locking Tower's wealth. She is so greedy, shouldn't she be punished?"
Lin Xi finally understood why she was brought to the seventh floor. It turned out that greed is not a good thing and she should quit while she is ahead.
Chen Chu: "I asked her to leave all her things behind and asked the high priest to let her out."
The spirit looked at Chen Chu, then at Lin Yan, and asked in a shocking tone, "Is she your woman?"
Lin Yan's pretty face turned red. She glanced at Chen Chu and didn't dare to speak.
Chen Chu: “No.”
The spirit said "oh" and looked at Lin Yan: "I see the disappointment in your heart."
Lin: “I didn’t!”
After Lin Xi finished yelling, she realized who she was yelling at and quickly shut her mouth.
The spirit was not angry, and laughed: "Okay, I admit that I was talking nonsense. I can only see the greatest fear in people's hearts. Then let me see, what is your greatest fear?"
Lin Xi felt cold all over when the spirit looked at her, and she subconsciously shrank behind Chen Chu.
After a moment, the spirit laughed: "Interesting, what you fear most is poverty?"
Are you most afraid of being poor
Chen Chu turned around in shock, and even he couldn't help but look at Lin Yan. It's not that there's anything wrong with being afraid of being poor, but at this moment, any normal person would be afraid of death.
Is Lin's fear of poverty greater than life and death? Although many people on the Internet say that if you are too poor, life is meaningless and it is better to die, but when it comes to a life-and-death situation, people will still choose to live.
Survival is an instinct.
