Chapter 51: Emptying the Soul Locking Tower



"I'm sorry."

Lin Xi wanted to get down in a panic, but the more panicked she was and the more she wanted to separate from Chen Chu, the slower her movements became. In the end, she pressed Chen Chu against the wall before she suddenly jumped up, putting some distance between them.

Lin stood there with her face flushed, her palm still retaining the hard touch of the other person's chest, and she was too embarrassed to look up.

Chen Chu was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Lin Yan's reaction to be so big. A dignified S-class psychic was pinned against the wall by a little girl.

Just as the atmosphere between the two of them was getting weird, Aquaman came up the stairs with a prop in his hand and started to show off as soon as he came in: "I'm telling you, the spirit on the third floor is trying to curse me, I...what are you doing?"

Neptune was quick to sense that something was wrong.

"What happened to the spirit on the third floor?" Chen Chu asked quickly, selectively ignoring Aquaman's question.

The topic was changed so obviously, what shameful thing was done?

Aquaman's suspicious eyes wandered between the two people, trying to find some clues, but one of them had his head down and his expression could not be seen clearly, while the other looked normal. There was no clue to be found, so Aquaman could only give up.

Aquaman: "I said I found a curse-removing item on the third floor. What about you? What item did you find?"

Chen Chu shook his head: "I didn't take it."

The props below the seventh floor were of no use to Chen Chu, so he didn't even think about taking the props and only took three energy stones.

The Sea King sighed and said, "At least take one. Even if you don't use it yourself, it will be worth a lot of money if you sell it."

Chen Chu smiled but said nothing.

Aquaman: "Okay, I get it. You don't think highly of this little money."

Chen Chu looked down on this little money, but Lin Nan did. The money called Lin Nan out of the embarrassment of wanting to dig into the cracks of the ground. She stared at the prop in the hand of the sea king with wide eyes and found that it was a doll woven with straw: "Is this a prop for removing curses? Why does it look more like a curse?"

Perhaps because she had heard too many folk ghost stories since she was a child, Lin Nan's impression was that these human-shaped dolls made of straw or rags usually had negative effects.

The Sea King raised his hand and threw the doll to Lin Yan: "Look at the doll's face. If the doll's expression is smiling, then this doll can break the curse. If the doll's face is crying or ferocious, then this doll is a curse prop."

Lin Nan took the doll and carefully looked at the facial features painted with red paint. Although the maker's painting was too sloppy and casual, it was not difficult to infer from the slightly curved corners of the mouth that this was a doll that was trying hard to smile.

Lin: "Where are all these props? Why can't I see them?"

Aquaman: "In the rooms around the spirit, there are three rooms on each floor, and the props are in one of the rooms."

Lin Nan suddenly realized that the props were in the room. No wonder she didn't see them. Her attention was completely attracted by the spirit in the center of the hall.

Lin: "Is this prop worth the money?"

Aquaman: "It depends on what item it is, but selling it for tens of thousands of points shouldn't be a problem."

How many tens of thousands of points? Lin Yan's eyes lit up: "Are there a lot of props in this building?"

The overly obvious expression easily exposed Lin Xin's thoughts. Chen Chu glanced at her and took the initiative to explain: "The Soul Locking Tower is a very magical place. Every time a curse is cast here, a corresponding prop for removing it will be born. So there are a lot of props in the tower, but each person can only take one prop out of here at a time. Therefore, most people want to find props that can remove the curse on themselves."

After hearing this, Lin Yan was a little disappointed: "It turns out that I can only take one prop."

Aquaman: "Why, from what you said, if the props here can be taken at will, can you just empty the Soul Locking Tower?"

Lin Xi blinked her big eyes and looked at him innocently. That expression and look was a silent acknowledgement.

Aquaman suddenly became interested and smiled: "Okay, then show me how you can empty it."

Lin Yan: "Okay, then I'll go get a prop too."

Since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed. Lin has browsed the internal forums these days and found that props can also be exchanged for money in the internal forums. Assuming that a prop can be sold for 20,000 points, it would be about 1.7 to 80 million RMB, enough to buy a small apartment in Jinshi.

The Sea King was amused by Lin Xi's tone of being an expert with nowhere to show off: "Don't do that. Although you can only take one prop, there is no limit on energy stones. If you can't move all the props, you can move all the energy stones."

Aquaman's words were somewhat provocative. Although the energy stones in the Soul Locking Tower could be taken away at will, if it were really that easy, he would not have come up with only one item. He could have taken a few more energy stones. The fact that he didn't take any meant that he was not sure about taking them.

Although Aquaman has the ability to avoid the curses on the first to third floors, it does not mean that he can enter and exit freely and stay in the building without restrictions. Even if he is already an A-level superpower, he can only avoid the curse for one minute at most. One minute is enough for him to get rid of the curse, but if it exceeds one minute, he will also be at risk of being cursed. Of course, he can also go in and out multiple times, taking only one energy stone each time, and then accumulating a small amount to empty the energy stones in the building, but who can guarantee that he will not be cursed during the frequent entry and exit process? As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?

At least Aquaman would not risk being cursed for a piece of energy stone. In his eyes, Lin Yan at this time was somewhat foolish, dying for money.

Lin Yan seemed to have not heard the sarcasm in Aquaman's words at all, and her attention was entirely on the last sentence: "Can you empty the energy stones?"

Neptune:"……"

Chen Chu knows Lin Nan better than Hai Wang. Although Lin Nan is a bit greedy, she cherishes life more and will not do anything without confidence. Her behavior proves that she is sure to move the energy stone safely. Considering that Lin Nan was not cursed twice before and after entering and leaving the Soul Locking Tower, Lin Nan's Calabash Doll prop may have the function of avoiding being cursed.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Chuqing couldn't help but spread out his palm and look at the ink sticker on it, which was as ordinary as it could be.

He did not sense any powerful energy from the sticker. He even felt that he could easily tear and crush the sticker if he wanted to. If he had not seen the eldest and second child with his own eyes, he really would not be able to connect this sticker with Lin Xi's powerful supernatural powers.

Yes, Lin Xin relied on the old man's stickers. Others dared not frequently enter and exit the Soul Locking Tower for fear of being cursed, but she was not afraid. Her Calabash Doll had the ability to exempt from curses. At least the first to third levels of curses had been proven to be completely exempt. Moreover, she not only had Calabash Doll, she also had Sister Zhenzi.

Question: Who is the best professional stone picking company? The best picker system is Zhenzi Wang.

Yes, Sister Zhenzi is the queen of picking up energy stones in the sub-space. With her flowing hair and octopus-like agility, no one can match her.

Sister Zhenzi, what are you doing?

[Let’s go!] Zhenzi’s hair was curled up with excitement.

After getting Zhenzi's answer, Lin Xi no longer hesitated. Thinking of the joy of picking up money immediately, she turned around excitedly and ran towards the stairs.

Neptune widened his eyes and was about to stop her when he saw Lin Xi, who had already walked to the stairs, suddenly turn around and walk back.

"I forgot something." Lin Yan walked to Chen Chu with a slightly red face and said to Chen Chu uncomfortably, "Can you return the sticker to me?"

Chen Chu opened his palm, peeled off the sticker from his palm, and returned it to Lin Nan.

Lin took the sticker and then, under the gaze of the two, stuck it on the wall behind Chen Chu.

This way, the scene just now would not happen again. Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran to the stairs again.

Hai Wang waited until Lin Yan disappeared before he looked at Chen Chu in amazement: "Did she really...really go?"

Chen Chu: "Didn't you ask her to go?"

Aquaman: "Did I just say that?"

Who knew that this girl really valued money more than her life.

Chen Chu did not respond, but turned to look at the sticker on the wall, frowning slightly: This sticker seems to be easily torn off by anyone.

With the experience of being carried back by the eldest and second children, Lin Nan has a very good understanding of the old man's sticker skills. Simply put, once the spirits in the building start to curse her, the old man stickers determine that she is in danger, and the Calabash Brothers will immediately run over to carry her back. The length of the whole time depends on the time when the curser's curse takes effect. But these are not the main points. The main point is that the time she can stay in the building is very short, so what she has to do during the whole process is to seize every moment to move things and take as much as she can before the Calabash Brothers come.

With this in mind, after entering the barrier, Lin Xi didn't even spare a glance at the spirit in the middle of the hall, let alone communicate with it with a ruler, and ran to the nearest room with all her heart. She didn't care what the spirit behind her was mumbling and cursing, and she just focused on picking up the energy stone.

Each of them had a chastity, and they were not picky. When they saw the energy stone, they would just knock it down.

At this time, the familiar BGM sounded again at the exit at the corner of the stairs on the third and fourth floors.

"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine, wind and rain, not afraid, la la la la la"

A yellow light flashed amid the singing, and Sanwa showed up. He shouted in front of the two high-level psychics, "Grandpa, I'm here to save you." Then he ran towards the stairs like the wind.

Aquaman: "...Three babies?"

Chen Chu: “Yeah.”

Aquaman: "What is his ability?"

Chen Chu: "Steel bones?"

Childhood memories are a bit distant, and Chen Chu is not very sure.

Aquaman: "Can bones and steel stop a curse?"

Chen Chu: "Erwa had just been there before you came."

Aquaman thought for a moment and asked, "Is Erwa a clairvoyant?"

Chen Chu had a complicated expression: "Yeah."

If a clairvoyant can block it, then a man with steel bones should be able to block it too.

Downstairs, Lin Xi was desperately stuffing energy stones into her pocket when she suddenly heard a familiar line coming from behind.

Sanwa held his head high and stood between Lin Nan and the spirit. He clenched his fists and placed them at his waist. The special effects of steel bones flashed on him. After showing his skills, Sanwa pointed his arm, took a standard posture, and shouted the standard lines: "Fairy, let my grandpa go."

When Lin heard this, she knew that Calabash Brothers was coming to carry her, and she quickly pulled another energy stone into her arms. Her long hair also quickly rolled a few more energy stones into her hair. Then Lin felt her body lighten, and she was carried back quickly, then climbed up, and returned to the exit in the blink of an eye.

Sanwa carried Lin Yan all the way to the wall and shouted happily, "Grandpa, we are home." Then he disappeared on the spot.

Chen Chu was quick to reach out and help Lin Xin when she was about to fall to the ground, saving her from being thrown upside down by her unfilial grandson. But although she was supported, the energy stones on her body were not. After some operations, the energy stones "bang" all over the ground, with all kinds of colors, more than a dozen pieces, not including the ones in Zhenzi's hair.

"Oh my god!" At this moment, there were no other words that could express Aquaman's shock. He didn't even care about the Calabash Brothers who were laughing at him.

What's wrong with sand sculpture? Who cares if it's sand sculpture or not when it's so useful!

This was not the end. Lin Yan took out a few bigger props from her pocket and put them all in Chen Chu's hands: "I don't have any space props on me. Senior, please save them for me first, and I'll go get some more."

Lin Xi said, not caring about the expressions of the two people, and turned around and rushed down again. The energy stones have not been emptied yet, comrades still need to work hard.

After a while, the familiar BGM sounded again.

"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine, wind and rain, not afraid, la la la la la"

The fourth child appeared in the green light and ran to the stairs while saying "Grandpa, I'm here to save you."

This time, Aquaman did not ask the silly question whether the fire could burn the curse. He stared at the staircase with a dull look. About half a minute later, Lin Xi was carried back again. Once again, energy stones fell to the ground, and once again she rushed downstairs. This became a cycle. After four times in a row, Lin Xi finally emptied the energy stones on the third floor and extended her claws to the second floor.

"You said..." Hai Wang picked up a huge wood energy stone from the ground and asked Chen Chu, "If I secretly take a few pieces, will Lin Nan find out?"

Chen Chu, who was loading energy stones into the space props one by one, glanced at him lightly.

Aquaman curled his lips and put the energy stone back.

When the Calabash Brothers' song sounded again, the Seventh Baby suddenly appeared and ran to the second floor. The Sea King had already liked the Calabash Brothers' appearance, so he did not look at the stairs. This time, he turned his attention to the ordinary sticker: "What do you think will happen if I tear off the sticker now?"

Aquaman also discovered the weakness of Lin's item. The item's skills were very powerful, but it seemed to have no defense and could be easily destroyed.

Chen Chu: "Any prop has its weaknesses. It depends on how it is used."

Aquaman laughed: "That's right, if the two of us stay here, no one can move the sticker."

So Lin Xi needs someone to help her protect the sticker on this prop.

After a while, when Chen Chu put the energy stone and a prop on the ground into the space prop, the familiar footsteps did not sound again.

Aquaman frowned: "It seems to take a little longer this time."

In the past, whenever the Calabash Brothers appeared, Lin Yan would be carried back in half a minute at most. Although we went to the second floor this time, it shouldn't take that long to climb one more flight of stairs.

Overturned?

Just when the two were hesitating whether to do something, the familiar footsteps sounded again, and the purple Qiwa held the treasure gourd in one hand and ran back briskly.

When Chen Chu saw that only Qi Wa was there, he stood up and asked directly, not caring whether Qi Wa could understand or not, "Why are you alone? Lin Nan...where is your grandfather?"

Qiwa ignored Chen Chu and ran past the two of them to the wall with the stickers. He raised the gourd towards the wall. A person was vomited out and fell face down on the ground. Just as the person was about to stand up, the gourd started to vomit again. Hundreds of energy stones kept gushing out of the gourd and fell on the person on the ground, knocking him down again.

"Grandpa, we're going home." After completing the mission, Qiwawa disappeared on the spot.

"Ha ha ha ha"

After watching it seven times in a row, Aquaman, who thought he was immune to it, was once again tickled to the point of laughing so hard that he could only pound the ground.

Chen Chu also turned his back, shaking his shoulders continuously, and even relied on the wall to keep his body steady.

At this time, Lin Xian, who was buried by the energy stone, wished she could sleep here forever.

Qi Wa! I seriously suspect that your purpose in saving Grandpa is to kill him yourself.
