This time when Lin Xi entered this space, she still found herself 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 sophisticated furnishings. The vases placed randomly gave off an antique feel.
After Lin Xian 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 secondary space? 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 secondary space, her eyes went dark.
This is a Class B subspace. If I were the only one entering, I would be dead. Didn't they say they would push me away when they felt energy fluctuations? How come I was the only one entering in the end?
It's all because the air conditioner is too expensive and the house is too empty. She was blinded by money. She knew she was a loser, so why did she risk her life for 200,000 yuan? Lin Ni, Lin Ni, even if you have a lot of money, you still have to live to spend it.
Lin Nan rolled around in bed in a quilt, yes, she was in bed now. It wasn't that Lin Nan deliberately wanted to sleep in someone else's bed, it was just too cold here. When Lin Nan came here, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but the temperature in the room was at most zero degrees, and Lin Nan really couldn't stand it, so she had no choice but to wrap herself in a quilt.
Lin Xi waited for nearly half an hour, and reluctantly accepted the worst possible scenario. The Dirty King 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 if you don't 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 got out of bed wrapped in a quilt, crept to the window, and imitated the peeping tricks 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 Nan wrapped herself in a quilt and walked around the room, and finally found a wooden wardrobe behind a screen. She opened the wardrobe and found neatly stacked clothes inside. There were inner garments, middle garments, outer garments, and everything was available, and they were all women's clothes.
Lin Xi was not surprised by this. The layout of this room looked like the concubine of an ancient lady.
"Change clothes first, and then find a way to get out, otherwise the energy in your body will be sucked dry by the subspace." Lin was so cold that 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 made of some kind of animal skin under the closet. Lin was ecstatic, and didn't care whether the original owner might have beriberi. She kicked off her sandals and put on the boots.
"It's finally warm." But the color of the poncho was too eye-catching, bright red. In this icy and snowy weather, the contrast between white and red was too striking. But Lin had no choice, because this was the only poncho in the room. Either she didn't wear it, or she had to wear red.
"They look like a wealthy family, why don't they have a few more cloaks? But no matter what, thank you, young lady, for lending me the clothes." Although she knew that the owner of the house was dead or turned into a spirit, Lin Nan still sincerely thanked the empty house before leaving.
If she didn't have the clothes in this room, she would have been frozen to death here in an hour at most. Or if she had not appeared in this room but in some wilderness, she would have been frozen to death too.
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 took out Zhenzi's long hair from the system's inventory and put it on herself, and also took out the master's ruler. Only when she had both props complete did she feel a little more confident.
"Sister Zhenzi, 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 people.
Lin Xi opened the door and stepped into the snow against the biting cold wind.
Zhenzi'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 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 vaguely guessed that this was probably the appearance of the spirit restored from the secondary space before its death.
The spirit she met was holding something like a tray in its hand. Lin Nan guessed that this spirit must have been a maid in this courtyard when she was alive.
Lin Xian cleverly hid behind the archway, and waited for the maid ghost 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 ghost carrying a tray. The person and the ghost were only two steps away from each other, and the ghost stared at her with its green eyes without blinking.
"!!" Lin Xi was stunned on the spot.
Was I discovered? Would she attack me? Should I run away now, or pretend I didn't see anything?
Although Lin had been to the sub-dimension many times, she was running for her life the whole time, and the only communication she had with the spirits was to pick up the energy stones they dropped after death. The information Assistant Tan gave her only said that the spirits were the natives of the sub-dimension, but did not tell her how to deal with them.
Lin thought of countless solutions in her mind, and finally she decided to pretend that 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 Nan walked forward step by step, and as she moved, the eyes of the maid spirit also moved inch by inch with her. Then, Lin Nan felt that something was wrong, because she found that the mouth of the maid spirit, or should it be a mouth, was a black spot under the eyes, which was getting bigger and rounder, and then it made a sharp cry.
“#@%#￥%”
Lin Xi 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 in their hands, rushing out from all directions, and soon successfully blocked Lin Xi in the middle of the courtyard.
My life is over!
Lin Xian looked at the spirits that swarmed around her, at least thirty of them, holding up the master's ruler with trembling arms, making their final struggle.
"￥%#￥……##" A tall spirit walked out of the crowd and said something to Lin Xi. Lin Xi didn't understand what the other party meant, but she could tell from the tone that the other party was very angry.
"You...what are you saying? I don't understand." Lin Xi said subconsciously.
"You little thief, why did you steal my lady's clothes?"
Um???
Lin was stunned for a moment. She seemed to understand what was said just now? Could she understand the language of spirits? No, the language of the natives of this space?
Wait, her young lady's clothes? Lin looked down at her clothes and asked tentatively, "Are the clothes I'm wearing your young lady's?"
"Not bad!" 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 really understand!
"Well, you misunderstood. I didn't steal. I borrowed." As long as they could communicate, Lin explained hastily, "It's too cold here. I would freeze to death if I don't wear clothes. I really had no choice, so I borrowed your young lady's clothes. You won't just watch me freeze to death without helping me, right?"
"He who takes without asking is a thief. Come on, catch him." said the butler's spirit.
It’s over. I can communicate but I can’t make sense. I’m doomed!
Just when Lin was in despair, the system prompt sounded suddenly.
[You are a fool and have no compassion at all. You will be punished with ten rulers.]
Skill activated?!
Lin Yu raised the ruler without hesitation and pointed it at the butler's spirit: "Stretch out your hand."
The butler's spirit froze and stood there in a daze, slowly raising his right hand.
"Snap!" Lin raised her hand and slapped the housekeeper's spirit with the ruler. The housekeeper's spirit wailed and twisted uncontrollably. When it stabilized, it was obviously much weaker and not as solid as before. It seemed that this ruler not only brought physical pain, but also weakened the spirit.
Wait, these indigenous people don't have any weapons, so... could it be that Master 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 kiss it.
"The teacher is teaching me a lesson, and I now know that I am wrong." The butler's spirit looked as if he had been taught a lesson, as if the punishment just now had taught him the principles of life again.
Sir? Do you admit your mistake?
【It is the greatest virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. 】
"Yes, sir, do you have any other advice?" The butler's spirit seemed to be able to hear the system prompt and spoke directly.
Lin was stunned for a moment, and tried to say, "I want to leave this space. Do you know how to get out?"
"Excuse me sir, what is subspace?" asked the butler's spirit.
Don't know? That's right. 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 how aliens call the Earth. In that case, it's probably impossible for me to ask them for a way to leave.
The data said that there were two ways to leave the sub-space. One was to kill enough natives, collect a certain number of energy stones, and open a one-time space door. The other was to kill all the natives in the entire sub-space.
Both methods require killing the spirit. If it was before, Lin would have definitely killed it if she could, after all, it was the only way to leave the sub-space. But now that she has communicated with the spirit through the ruler, she is a little reluctant to kill it again. Moreover, the other party is not calling for 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 whole city will be covered by ice and snow." said the spiritual housekeeper.
Covered with ice and snow. Isn’t your place already covered with ice and snow?
"Where is the center of the formation?" Lin asked.
"Fengxue Tower, the tallest building in the city." said the spirit housekeeper.
Since it is the highest floor, it should be easy to find. If she can sneak in smoothly and pick up enough energy stones from inside, she can leave here easily.
Judging from the reaction of the butler'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 been recognized as the Master by default, that is, the Master in the spirit butler's mouth. Sure enough, even if the dimensions are different, the Master is still the Master, Master Meng, he is worthy of being an educator. Awesome, awesome!
Moreover, while the skill was activated, she could also understand the language of the subspace. Could it be that after asking the question, in order to facilitate the question and answer and allow both parties to communicate normally, the ruler ignored the difference in language and formed some kind of communication on the soul level?
I still say that, Mr. Meng is awesome!
Lin suddenly felt less nervous. It was like 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 not so scared anymore.
"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 spirit.
That's fine too.
"Okay, then take me out." Let's leave here first and see if we can meet the Dirty King. Lin Xi was still willing to believe that the Dirty King had come in.
If the King of Dirty came in, would Senior Chen Chu come in as well? Although Senior Chen Chu had no intention of entering this space at first, what if he came in as well?
Unfortunately, there is no TV in the sub-space. If there is, Zhenzi can definitely crawl to the TV closest to Senior Chen Chu. But the premise is that Senior Chen Chu comes in.
Lin Yu thought about this while walking out under the guidance of the butler's spirit. Because of the butler's spirit leading the way, Lin Yu was no longer targeted by 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 Nan: "Sir, if you go east, you will see Fengxue Tower."
"Thank you." Lin Yu thanked him and walked towards the Snowy Building on the white snow. After walking for a distance, the system prompt appeared again.
【Skill interrupted.】
The skill is interrupted. Is it out of control?
Lin looked back and estimated the distance between herself and the butler's spirit, which was about five meters. Therefore, the range of the Master's ruler was five meters.
Lin remembered this range and continued to walk forward. Coincidentally, Zhenzi's long hair also pointed 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 movement.
So weird? Not only is there no spirit, there are no supernatural beings either?
Lin Xian walked very carefully 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 got a little hot, the lottery box suddenly shook.
【Yunzhou, male, 9 years old, was being beaten for stealing.】
Taking the radish? Is anyone here?
Stealing? Why does it sound so familiar?
"Get out of here!" Before Lin Xi finished her analysis, a childish voice suddenly rang out from the door on the right. Lin Xi looked at the door that was almost facing her, and she 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 past the place where Lin Xi had just stood and directly penetrated into the opposite wall.
"..."Lin Yan.
I knew it would end badly.
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 noticed someone behind him. He turned around abruptly, switched to combat mode as quickly as possible, and looked at Lin Xi vigilantly.
Lin Xi then saw the boy's appearance clearly. He had a childish face and looked somewhat familiar. Before Lin Xi could figure out why he looked familiar, the boy suddenly raised his right hand, holding a revolver and pointing it directly at her.
"R country?" the boy asked indifferently.
Seeing the gun, Lin raised her hand instinctively: "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 this dimension, you should kill him or her."
“……”Sister Zhenzi misunderstood 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 only Chinese people can recite the core values of socialism.
