Ji Xinglan stood there, frozen in place. She was smart enough to understand what I meant.

Grandpa Lin is Lin Momo's father, and Old Cao is probably also Lin Momo's father, for example, as her adoptive father.

If we consider this experience as a game, then I'm beginning to understand the theme of the game: the redemption of Lin Momo.

The first task is now complete: cut off the ghost hand.

I stared at Old Master Lin, trying to see if there were any more clues.

Old Master Lin's body changed, and he quickly turned around, pulling Madam Lin and Lin Da through the screen.

The action was so fast that it was over before I could even react.

"Uncle Chen! Look!"

As I was preparing to leave, the lobby was suddenly split in two.

Ji Xinglan and I were separated.

The pleasant female voice came to mind; it was the voice from that booklet.

"The two were separated by evil spirits, but they were of one mind and overcame the tribulations together!"

After that voice came out, I could only sigh and say that it was nonsense and basically useless.

"Xinglan, can you hear me?" I quickly sent a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan.

The sound transmission just stopped working, and I'm worried that this blockage will prevent us from transmitting sound effectively.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

My voice reached Ji Xinglan just in time, because Ji Xinglan responded to me immediately.

"I hear that, Uncle Chen, I think I know what's going on!"

Ji Xinglan communicated with me, and when I looked in her direction, I realized that we were completely separated. Apart from being able to communicate telepathically, we couldn't see each other at all; our vision was completely blocked.

The entire lobby was also sealed off, and there was no way to leave.

"What happened?"

I was a little surprised and quickly asked Ji Xinglan. I didn't expect that Ji Xinglan would be able to guess the key to the situation here.

"This time, we need to work together, both of us, to get the key and leave this place!"

Ji Xinglan's voice was still very excited.

"That's what I was thinking too, let's check our props!"

While I took out the mirror to check the props, I also communicated with Ji Xinglan.

Besides large items like the golem, all I have here is the lightning sword, the bronze mirror, and Ji Xinglan's two short swords.

As for Ji Xinglan, she was holding my hairpin. There was only one hairpin in total; Ji Xinglan had one, and I had the other one in my hand.

After communicating with Ji Xinglan, I understood her thoughts.

Ji Xinglan's point is that we can leverage our communication advantage to collaborate, somewhat like a two-player cooperative game.

After I finished speaking, Ji Xinglan became excited and kept nodding and saying the same thing.

"Uncle Chen, you and I are thinking the same thing! But the only downside is that I can't see anything here!"

Even through this wall, I could feel Ji Xinglan's despair and helplessness.

The biggest problem is that we can't see the scene; we can't communicate as easily as before.

"Wait a minute, if we can communicate our memories, why can't we share our vision!"

I slapped my forehead and an idea popped into my head.

We were able to communicate our memories before, so if that's the case, visual sharing should also be possible.

After I thought of this, I started trying to communicate, and sure enough, the next second, the scene of Ji Xinglan appeared in my mind.

Just like here, the whole scene has changed dramatically after being blocked off.

It's completely different from before.

"Uncle, I saw it too!"

Ji Xinglan was quite excited. Being able to share a field of vision was an incredibly powerful feature in itself, and anyone would probably be very surprised.

I began to observe Ji Xinglan's field of vision, and I discovered that there was a small mechanism next to Ji Xinglan.

There are two holes in the mechanism.

I feel that the two holes and the hairpin are the same shape.

"Xinglan, take out two hairpins and, on my command, insert them into this hole!"

I sent a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan, and Ji Xinglan did as I instructed, taking out the hairpin and preparing to insert it into the hole.

At that moment, I also noticed that two small holes had appeared in the ground next to me.

However, it is slightly longer than Ji Xinglan's hole.

I understand now, this hole is just big enough to pierce the dagger.

After figuring this out, I didn't hesitate, took out my sword, and spoke with Ji Xinglan.

I feel that it only works if two people insert and rotate simultaneously.

Ji Xinglan obeyed my command and inserted the object. We were in sync; at that moment, our movements were remarkably synchronized.

Ji Xinglan and I rotated in the same direction, and I felt that the space fluctuated as we rotated.

It really worked.

We also spun around three times, and I saw that a groove suddenly appeared behind Ji Xinglan.

"We're probably running out of energy, Xinglan. You need to figure out a way to get the gold in!"

I thought about it and keenly noticed the problem.

It must be that Ji Xinglan's side is running out of energy, which is why this situation has occurred.

Ji Xinglan was also very decisive; after extracting the gold, she poured it all into the container.
