Be polite to people who ask for directions.
The man was frightened by the sudden incident. It took him more than ten seconds to react. He turned and looked at Ji Yunding with anger.
"No, this is our family's business, what are you, an outsider, doing here?"
"Ah, my hand slipped." Ji Yunding took out the iron spoon that he had accidentally broken in half, and rubbed it casually, crumpling it into a ball like a piece of paper. "Sorry, what did you want to say?"
"…Do you want to use violence?"
"Of course not. I just want to remind you of one thing." Ji Yunding gently threw the iron block made of the iron spoon onto the table, listening to the sound of iron products hitting wood. "This world will not turn without our group now, but what will happen to this world without you?"
"'It is better to do nothing than to make mistakes. Do the least with the most enthusiastic attitude.'" Zheng Nuo started to recite this sentence and suddenly laughed, "What will happen if he is gone?"
The air was silent for a while, and then the man burst into an almost hysterical roar as his pain was exposed. He cursed Zheng Nuo and Zheng Yan for not being worthy of being his daughters, and broke down and cursed the officialdom that had forced him to fall step by step, but was so tolerant of him.
People who grow up in a family environment are more or less accustomed to observing the expressions of adults when they are young. It is inevitable that they have a sense of rejection or fear towards adults who are extremely emotional and behave abnormally. Zheng Nuo and Zheng Yan are no exception.
Ji Yunding just yawned, walked to the door, opened it, and made a gesture of invitation.
"This is a private residence. I'll count to three and you can walk out on your own. Or I'll throw you out."
It was a pity that the other party did not take the initiative. Ji Yunding felt a little regretful about this, but no matter what, it was good that the matter was resolved.
Zheng Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with Zheng Yan, and awkwardly changed the subject: "By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess is..."
"Ah, I promised to be a knight for my sister, so she wouldn't be afraid." Ji Yunding scratched his head, "I saw that she was dressed like a princess in a comic book, so I tried to say that."
Zheng Yan snorted softly and walked up to Ji Yunding: "Thank you, you... are the first person in all these years who let me make my own decisions. Although I can't tie a bow at all and my level of coaxing people is also terrible."
"Zheng Yan, the last two sentences are too rude." Zheng Nuo spoke instinctively and received a roll of the eyes from Zheng Yan.
"Stop acting like a big sister. Ji Yunding has no objection."
Ji Yunding felt that perhaps these two people would need to get along with each other for a long time, or perhaps this was how they would get along.
………………
In this world, there are all kinds of inexplicable disappearances, and the reasons are varied, either natural disasters or man-made disasters.
After the outbreak of ghost stories, such cases must also consider the accidental factor of ghost stories. Unstable extradimensional channels may occasionally draw people in and then close, and in most cases, ordinary people who are drawn in are nowhere to be found.
The conditions for the opening of this unstable channel remain a mystery, but it is speculated that it seems to tend to choose people with extremely high affinity.
Just now Ji Yunding was chatting and laughing with Zheng Nuo while shopping. When they turned a corner, Zheng Nuo disappeared. When they looked back, the surrounding streets had completely changed.
"It's bad." Ji Yunding looked at the blood-red sky and the black earth and muttered to himself, "I hope I won't miss my round-trip ticket."
I don’t know if most people would have this feeling, but Ji Yunding did feel a little distressed about this.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Yunding decided to ignore the matter for the time being.
Now that you are here, just take things as they come and take a stroll.
"Speaking of these three badges..." Ji Yunding took out his backpack and looked at the three strange badges with their own characteristics, "Where should I use them?"
The emblem of the grave city is very simple, just an ordinary rectangular grave with a photo of a black shadow with an ominous aura hung on it.
On the emblem of the Rongku Cemetery, a bleeding rose is wrapped around a circle of thorns, with a line of words along the edge of the circle.
—Keep bleeding awake, and thorns will crown you.
The logo of Bailizhong is more straightforward, with a strange round coin printed on it. After looking at it for a long time, it always seems that there seems to be a wailing sound coming from inside.
Ji Yunding guessed that this might be the currency of another dimension.
"In short, they set up stalls, do research, and do anything for money." Ji Yunding summarized the previous words to himself, put away a few badges, and when he looked up, he saw a person with an uncomfortably thin figure standing at the intersection and waving at her.
Ji Yunding remembered that when he was taking the general education course, the teacher taught that human flesh was very attractive to some low-level monsters. Most of them did not have the ability to form a strange story and descend into reality alone, but it was still not something that ordinary people could easily contend with.
Therefore, if you are drawn into an alternate dimension, stay away from any monsters that are obviously interested in you.
But the problem now is that Ji Yunding doesn’t know the way, and if he just walks around aimlessly, he’ll be doomed if he doesn’t see anything that can talk for several days.
Then go and ask, since your oath ability hasn’t been used today anyway.
However, as Ji Yunding approached, it showed a look of disappointment: "What? I thought it was a human..."
Ji Yunding tilted his head and pointed at himself: "Why do you think so?"
However, the other party seemed to have lost interest in talking to Ji Yunding and just stood there, motionless.
"Hello, how do I get to the cemetery?" Ji Yunding stood in front of it and asked politely, "I'm new here and don't know the way very well."
"Get out of the way." It showed obvious impatience. "Why are you pretending? You..."
"Excuse me." Ji Yunding took out the dagger and continued to speak word by word, "How do I get to the grave city?"
“…”
After a while, Ji Yunding walked to the door of Anle Tomb, raised his head and sighed: "Sure enough, I pointed to a false path."
She was not surprised. Since it recognized her as a monster, then under such a threat, it would most likely point to a place that was not so friendly to monsters.
If it is a very dangerous place, she also has the ability to save her life with her oath. If it happens to be a force that is relatively friendly to humans, then it will be a win.
But to be honest, I didn't expect it to be here.
"Ah... I think we said last time that we would kill that guy when we meet again. Never mind, let him go for now. I don't really want to kill him anyway." Ji Yunding scratched his head and finally knocked on the door. "Is anyone there?"
Ten minutes later, Ji Ye, who was called by the gatekeeper, looked at Ji Yunding in front of him, not knowing how to react.
"Ji Yunding, are you here..."
"I'm lost."
Ji Ye didn't know how to respond to this. Normally, no one would knock on the door of Anle Tomb, let alone come here to ask for directions. After all, even in the weird world, Anle Tomb was not a very popular organization.
"So, you want me to take you back to the main plane?"
"No, I want to go shopping, I just want to ask for directions." Ji Yunding thought for a moment and added, "If possible, please give me a map."
Ji Ye opened his mouth, but for some reason he couldn't say anything frivolous. Instead, he said something that sounded a little confusing.
"... To you, do you think we are very close?"
"Of course not, but I am useful to your Anle Tomb, right?" Ji Yunding tilted his head, not understanding why Ji Ye asked such an obvious question. "I came here to see if I can buy something. If not, I'll just look around."
Ji Ye sighed, knowing that this was the way it would be, so he simply said, "What do you want to exchange for it? Your soul? I'm 100% welcome to it."
"No." Ji Yunding shook his head, "I have money."
As she spoke, she took out a few coins with suspicious blood stains from her pocket. Ji Ye stared at them for a few seconds, then looked up at Ji Yunding: "Did you steal them?"
"I don't think so."
Specifically speaking, searching a body and robbery should be two different things.
"...It's different from what you imagined. There is still some order among the weird things in the other dimension. You might get wanted if you keep doing this."
"It was it that wanted to eat me first. And, I'm sure it won't report it to the police."
Anle Zong had done a lot of similar things in private, but Ji Ye felt that the guy in front of him who did whatever he wanted, had no idea of the rules, and whose actions were untraceable was more terrifying.
Although most weird things are done according to their desires, but she... is simply the weirdest of the weird.
"The last time I went to practice in the other dimension, I was not able to go because you interrupted me." Ji Yunding took out the excuse he had prepared long ago, "It's just a map. You won't lose anything if you sell it to me. This way, we are even."
Ji Ye sighed again in resignation, and reluctantly asked someone to help him get a map. He turned back and looked at Ji Yunding: "But what are you doing in this alternate dimension?"
"Let's go to Bailizhong to contact the team leader first and ask him to tell my friend not to worry. Let's report it and then look around."
Ji Yunding's idea was like a primary school student calling his classmates' home before going to play - but it was really the same for her.
"Or, is there any way for Anle Tomb to connect to the real world that you can lend me..."
"Let Anle Zhong contact Ji Liuxing? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Ji Ye complained, then drew a blood contract and pushed it over. "The location of Anle Zhong is a secret. Sign this, or I won't let you go."
"Oh...too bad, the performance is gone."
"Can you please pretend for a moment? I don't want to know what you think as an investigator."
Having said that, neither side wanted to fight. For Ji Ye, Ji Yunding was a key figure who could become the next step for Anle Tomb. And for Ji Yunding, since he didn't know what the situation was in the alternate dimension, he didn't plan to use his oath ability here. If he could avoid fighting, he would do so for the time being.
Last time, it was a rule-based fight, and both sides were restricted by the rules. If they fought this time, it would probably be more troublesome - especially since she actually knew nothing about Polar Night's ability as a psychic anomaly.
Ji Yunding shook his head, not showing much regret: "But you probably have other ways to hide, otherwise you would have been found by the seniors long ago."
"No comment."
"Forget it, I'll go somewhere else." Ji Yunding stood up with the map and waved his hand, "Excuse me."
"...Blacksworn Warlock." Ji Ye suddenly spoke.
Ji Yun stood still, looked back at Ji Ye, his body slightly tensed, ready to take action at any time.
"What did you say?"
"One of my advanced abilities is that I can foresee who you should go to for the solution to the problem that has been bothering you recently." Ji Ye hesitated for a moment, took out the knife that Ji Yunding had given him and handed it back, "I'll give this back to you."
Although Ji Ye foresaw that he would need to ask Ji Yunding for answers to his questions, he had no idea what was wrong with him and had no idea where to start. After chatting with Ji Yunding for a while, he had no idea at all.
But I still feel very anxious.
