What's wrong with being afraid of being poor? Go out and ask, how many people in this world are not afraid of being poor?
Moreover, every now and then in the news you can see someone wanting to commit suicide because of depression, someone wanting to commit suicide because of a breakup, someone wanting to commit suicide because of unemployment, but have you ever heard of someone who is too rich and wants to become poor?
no!
"Hahahaha" the high priest on the throne suddenly laughed out loud without any warning. His laughter was utterly unbelievable and exaggerated. After a long time, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lin Nan.
Chen Chu instinctively took a step forward. Just as he blocked Lin Nan, he heard the high priest say in an extremely happy voice: "You are right. I agree."
Am I right? What did I say?
Lin looked at Chen Chu with a puzzled look on her face. Chen Chu explained, "The high priest can sense your inner thoughts through soul resonance."
Lin's eyes widened immediately: "Mind reading?"
The high priest could actually read minds, so the other party actually heard everything I had been planning to escape for?
High Priest: “Yes, I heard it all.”
Did you hear it again? This kind of person is really too scary. There is no secret at all in front of him. Will the system be discovered too?
"What's beeping?" the high priest suddenly asked.
Beep? Lin Yan was confused.
"What else have you hidden that I haven't discovered yet?" The high priest looked at Lin Xi with a little interest. In his eyes, Lin Xi was as weak as an ant, and could be crushed to death at will. So he was not worried about whether Lin Xi had any powerful props hidden on her body. He was just bored for too long and was extremely curious about new things.
System? Lin Yu subconsciously thought of the system. She was just worried that the system would be discovered, so the information about the system was blocked?
"System, can you block the high priest's mind-reading ability?" In order to confirm her guess, Lin Xi asked the system directly.
"The existence of the system is the highest secret under the rules of heaven and earth. No one except the host can identify it. Moreover, the other party is not using mind reading. It's just that your emotions fluctuate too much, making it easy for others to capture your thoughts. Idiot, calm down." The system scolded.
Lin was scolded by the system, and Gu couldn't help but get angry and continued to ask: "So the other party can't hear me and you, right?"
System: “Of course.”
Lin Yan: "That's fine, otherwise I really don't have any cards left."
Seeing that Lin Xi's expression was getting more and more excited, Chen Chu was afraid that she really had some life-saving trump card that would be asked by the high priest, so he turned around abruptly, blocked the high priest's gaze with his body, and gently placed his hands on Lin Xi's shoulders. He said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous, that's not mind reading. He can just sense your emotions through the fluctuations of your soul, so you just need to calm down and not be so nervous, and he won't be able to hear your voice."
The system had just reminded her of this. Lin took a few deep breaths and her emotions gradually calmed down. She was not afraid even if she was emotionally agitated. As long as she switched her inner activities to communicating with the system, the system would naturally help her block it out.
"It's boring." The high priest's slightly dissatisfied voice came from above.
Chen Chu looked at the high priest and continued the topic that had just been interrupted: "High priest, I asked my friend to leave all the energy stones that were taken away. Please let her go."
The high priest looked at Chen Chu and said sarcastically, "It's been five years, Chen Chu, and you are still so hypocritical."
Chen Chu frowned and said nothing.
High Priest: "Are you and your two companions still friends?"
Chen Chu's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.
"System, the high priest said that five years ago, senior Chen Chu's companions were Tang Lanyue and Li Jiamu?" Lin Wei asked.
"I'm just an occupation system." said the system.
The high priest continued, "I gave you seven years to take revenge, but you didn't kill them. Why? I see you don't like that girl either."
"System, what does the high priest mean by this? Asking the senior to take revenge? What revenge?" Lin Xi asked the system.
"I'm just an occupation system." said the system.
"Analyzing from the context, Senior Chen Chu is going to kill Tang Lanyue and Li Jiamu. You have also taken advantage of them before, and Senior has been hurt by them, so could it be that the curse on Senior was cast by these two people?" Lin Xi continued to analyze.
"I'm just an occupation system." said the system.
"System, the high priest said that it has been seven years, and the curse occurred five years ago, which means that the curse on the senior will not be activated for another two years?" Lin Xi continued to ask.
"I'm an occupation system, not a chat software!" The system, which was continuously harassed, could no longer tolerate it. It had never seen such a short-sighted human being.
"I know. I'm just afraid of being eavesdropped by the high priest. Talking to you can block his eavesdropping. I'll talk to myself and you just ignore me." Lin Nan said.
"..."This is the first time that the system has been bugged by someone else.
"If I want revenge, you are the one who should be killed the most." Chen Chu looked at the high priest and said calmly, "The situation at that time was carefully designed by you. No matter what they choose, I will be cursed in the end."
"That's right!" the high priest praised, "You are very smart, but you are still sad, aren't you? Even though you know that everything was planned by me, when they chose to transfer the killing curse to you, you were still sad, weren't you? After they left, did they pretend that nothing had happened and wanted to continue to be friends with you? When they saw that you were still alive, they even wondered, why didn't you die? It was Xin Hui who transferred the killing curse to you in the first place."
Chen Chu's face was calm, but his tightly clenched fists still revealed his inner unrest.
"System, the Death Curse, the senior was hit by the Death Curse! You rubbish system, why can't you take advantage of it!" When Lin Xi heard that it was the Death Curse that was hit by Chen Chuzhong, she lost her composure.
"I am taking responsibility for the bad luck that is about to happen. I have no right to take responsibility for the bad luck that happened five years ago." After being continuously harassed and verbally insulted by Lin Nan, the system completely abandoned its calmness as an artificial intelligence.
"Then you can take a guess now, will the senior's curse come true?" Lin Nan asked.
The system was silent and ignored.
"System? System? Don't play dead. Take my place for a while." Lin Nan kept harassing the system, but the system seemed determined and ignored her.
Lin Yu shouted several times, and gradually calmed down. According to the nature of the system, whenever bad luck occurs, it will take the first place. This is the main program of the system, which is quite instinctive. And it has not taken the place of the place, which means that Senior Chen Chu will not have bad luck, and the death curse will not come true. Therefore, when the taking place system does not take the place of the place, it is the best time.
Chen Chu did not intend to respond to the high priest. No matter what he said, he remained calm. Because he knew better than anyone that loneliness was the high priest's greatest pain in his long and almost endless life. The more excited he was, the more excited he was.
The high priest saw that no matter what he said, Chen Chu had a dead expression. Lin Yan, who was originally emotional and could easily read his mind, didn't know how she blocked his perception. A familiar feeling of loneliness spread, and the high priest's voice suddenly became cold, like ice piercing the bones: "Although I gave you seven years, you came early, and you should have thought of the answer. Chen Chu, tell me your answer."
Chen Chu's body suddenly tensed up, but he still stared firmly at the cold green eyes on the throne, and said in a deep voice: "My answer is still the same."
Just as Lin Xi was thinking about what answer the high priest wanted, the familiar black and gold lottery stick holder began to shake.
【Chen Chu, male, 24 years old, refused the high priest's request, and the death curse came true ahead of schedule. He will die from the curse in 24 hours.】
What? ! !
Lin Xi could no longer remain silent, so she turned around and said loudly, "High Priest, let's talk it over. I will persuade him again. I will persuade him again."
The high priest looked at Lin Xi with a cold gaze. He could clearly feel the girl's anxiety and fear in her heart: "Okay, try to persuade her. If you succeed, I will not only let you out, but also give you half of the remaining wealth in the Soul Locking Tower. Including all the props inside."
The high priest's generosity did not excite Lin Yan, but made her feel depressed. Everything in this world has a price tag. What kind of thing is worth such a price?
But no matter what, she had to ask. Lin Xi pulled Chen Chu aside, thought about it, and felt that it was still unsafe. In the end, she simply took out her mobile phone and typed on it.
Lin: [Senior Chen Chu, what is this? If you can, just agree to it. I just took some of your food. If I continue to take some of your food, you will die in 24 hours.]
Death occurred after 24 hours, so the high priest issued a death curse.
Chen Chu was not surprised. He took the phone and typed directly on Lin's phone: [Don't worry about me. When I fight him later, you find a chance to run. The space props are all with Aquaman. Go find him.]
Lin was so anxious: [What is this about? Why can't you agree? If you really can't agree, you can just pretend to agree.]
Chen Chu: [Don’t get involved in this matter. Be obedient and leave.]
After that, Chen Chu stopped communicating with Lin Nan and stuffed his phone into her arms. He turned around and said to the high priest again, "I am now S-rank. It is impossible for you to curse me to death. Why don't you let my companions leave and I will fight you to your heart's content. You have been imprisoned in the Soul Locking Tower for countless years. I think you haven't fought anyone for a long time."
In conclusion, Chen Chu's wind-related abilities surged, and the powerful energy made the entire Soul Locking Tower buzz.
The high priest suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lin asked desperately, "High Priest, can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help?"
"Lin Yan!"
陳初面色一變，想要阻止已經來不及了，只聽高高的臺階之上，大祭司的聲音幽幽的傳來：“帶我離開這裏，去到你們的世界！”
“嗡！”
冥冥中似乎有什麽強大的力量籠罩而來，激蕩的她思維混沌，全身發麻。
詛咒，她被詛咒了，這一刻林媗清晰的意識到，她中了詛咒，一種無比強大的詛咒。甚至，她知道詛咒內容。
保密，她必須保守剛才聽到的話裏的秘密。她也立刻明白過來，陳初之所以大聲呵斥她，為的就是避免她因為聽到剛才那個信息而被詛咒。
無論如何，林媗聽到了，也明白了，她驚駭的看向大祭司：“你可以離開這裏，去到地球？”
大祭司：“沒錯，你們只需要準備一具剛死亡的8級屍體，用你們的異能等級來劃分，大概是B級巅峰。然後把我的靈魂帶出去，我便可以在那具身體上重生。”
奪舍？原來修仙小說不是騙人的，這個世界上真的可以奪舍？
陳初：“你死了這條心吧，我不會讓你離開這裏的。”
大祭司：“為什麽？我出去有什麽不好，你們不是一直想了解次空間，你們是這麽稱呼這裏的，對吧？只要我出去了，我可以把我知道的一切都告訴你們。我可以教授你們修煉方法，讓這裏的異能文明，在地球重現。”
陳初：“一個被自己文明囚禁于此的人，在別人的文明裏，能做什麽好事？”
鎖魂樓是一座囚籠，很早的時候地球的異能者就有了判斷，他們判斷，鎖魂樓應該是次空間原有的文明用來囚禁惡徒的地方。鎖魂樓的樓身，處處镌刻着符文，每一道強大的符文之後，都是一道強大的規則。次空間的人類寧願用如此複雜的手段造一座囚籠，也不願意殺死這個犯人，原因大概只有兩個。
一，這個人無比尊貴，不能殺。
二，這個人，殺不死，只能囚禁。
原本陳初還不能确定，但是在聽到大祭司要求他帶他出去奪舍的時候，陳初便知道了答案。大祭司，殺不死。
哪怕次空間文明湮滅，所有的生靈都消亡在大災變裏，大祭司依舊能留有記憶。他是唯一的，起碼是陳初見過的唯一的，可以連續性存有記憶的靈體。其他的靈體，次空間研究者也分析過，他們發現，次空間的靈體雖然有智慧，但每次次空間關閉和開啓，強大的空間之力會混亂他們的記憶，他們每一次見到外來的異能者，都像是第一次見到。可大祭司，甚至還記得五年前的事情。
大祭司深深的看着陳初：“如果我發誓呢？”
陳初：“誓言如果有用的話，世界就不需要規則了。”
規則？林媗這一瞬間接受的信息量實在是太大了，她有限的腦容量一時間處理不過來，她唯一能抓住的就是規則這兩個字。
她記得陳初說過，鎖魂樓有規則，每完成一個詛咒，鎖魂樓內必然會生成一個解除詛咒的道具。如果這個規則成立，那麽就一定有道具可以解開陳初身上的死咒。占蔔結果顯示的是24小時之後，陳初學長才會被咒死，所以她還有時間。
林媗低頭快速的打了一行字，把手機遞到陳初面前：[七樓一定有解開你詛咒的道具，別放棄，我們拿到道具就跑。]
陳初無奈的搖頭，示意林媗看前面。
林媗看着大廳裏堆積如山的珠寶，能量石以及道具，明白了陳初的意思，鎖魂樓裏只能帶一個道具出去，在這堆積如山的道具裏，他們如何能确定，哪一個才是可以解開陳初詛咒的道具。
“要是海王在這裏就好了。”林媗情不自禁的道。
“叫我幹嘛？”
突如起來的聲音，讓林媗和陳初都是一愣。兩人一個驚喜，一個震驚的看着從結界外走進來的男人。
陳初：“你怎麽來了？！”
海王和林媗不同，他是主動走進來的，大祭司完全可以詛咒他。所以，就算他拼死可以打開結界，攔住大祭司，可萬一海王被詛咒了，也只是徒勞。
“廢話，三個人進來，我一個人出去，我怎麽和六組的人交代。”海王在三樓出口遲疑了很久，他知道，連陳初都沒有把握活下來的七樓，他去了多半只能送人頭，他幾次想要離開，卻怎麽都邁不開腿。
說實話，哪怕是現在，他都不知道自己為什麽腦抽上了七樓。但來都來了，那就帥氣點。
“海王小心，大祭司在詛咒……晚了。”短短一句話的功夫，系統完成了兩次占蔔。
【解星宇，男，24歲，即将因詛咒陽.痿。】
【解星宇，男，24歲，已經陽.痿。】
陳初和海王同時看向林媗，兩人臉上都沒有太驚訝的表情，一個是已經猜到了，一個是進來
前就做好了被詛咒的準備。
海王故作輕松的道：“我被詛咒了？你用黴運占蔔占蔔到的？”
林媗點頭。
海王渾不在意的道：“那你能占蔔出來我中了什麽詛咒嗎？”
就算林媗告訴他是死咒，他也不會激動的。
林媗：“陽.痿。”
短短兩個字，擊潰了海王視死如歸的英雄氣概，他瘋了一樣的朝臺階之上的大祭司沖去：“我和你拼了！”
陳初連忙把人攔住：“冷靜。”
“你讓我怎麽冷靜！”哪個男人能忍。
“叮，恭喜宿主完成占蔔任務，獎勵一點功德值，卦金0元。”
“叮，恭喜宿主完成占蔔任務，獎勵一點功德值，卦金0元。”
林媗默默感嘆：不愧是能看到人心底最恐懼事物的大祭司。
大祭司冷笑：“區區一個九級水系異能者，不知死活！”
說着，大祭司袍袖一展，強大的異能震蕩而來，朝海王殺去。
“走！”陳初一把推開海王，橫身擋了上去，兩股強悍的異能在空中相撞，形成巨大的能量旋渦，能量旋渦把滿地的東西卷起，再重重抛下。讓原本就雜亂不堪的大廳，更加的雜亂。
糟了，原本的大廳雖然亂，但好歹能看得出來哪裏道具多一點，哪裏能量石多一點，可現在這麽一弄，所有的東西都混在一起了，這樣一來，能找到道具的概率就更小了。
陳初擋在他們和大祭司之間，對海王道：“我擋住他，你想辦法轟開結界，帶林媗跑。”
六樓轉角就有出口，只要能跑出結界，就有機會逃出去。
大祭司冷哼一聲，右手朝空中一抓，一把鑲滿了寶石的權杖自遠處飛來，落在大祭司的手中。權杖入手的瞬間，大祭司身上的威壓再強三分。
陳初臉色驟變。
“可惜了，我等了無數歲月，才等到一個可以承載我靈魂的人。”大祭司道，“不過沒關系，殺了你，我起碼可以重新擁有□□。”
陳初毫不意外的道：“你果然，從頭到尾想奪舍的都是我。”
大祭司也不僞裝了：“是又如何？”
大祭司用權杖重重一踱地，地板一陣顫動後便有無數縷漆黑的能量自地底湧出，以迅雷不及掩耳之勢包裹住三人，片刻便結成了一個鳥籠形狀的囚籠，把三人圍在了裏面。陳初嘗試着想要劈開囚籠，一股異能才劈出去，立刻便被巨大的反震力震的吐出一口鮮血。
“陳初！”林媗和海王都是一驚。
“這是鎖魂樓的規則之力，我用了幾百年，才能抽出一點點，我都打不破，更何況是你。”大祭司冷笑道，“我知道你怎麽想的，你想要自爆，炸開結界，犧牲自己，救同伴，對嗎？想的美！我為什麽要和你們戰鬥，你們自己就會死的呀。幾天來着，三天，對就是三天，我聽那些外來者說過，你們這些人在這裏呆三天，如果三天出不去，就會被吸幹異能而死。不過陳初你活不到那時候，你只能活一天。怎麽樣，我再給你一次機會，還有一天時間，你只需要答應我，帶我出去，我承諾不傷害你的同伴。”
“什麽？這妖怪還能出去？陳初別答應他，死就死。”反正海王已經是生無可戀了。
大祭司看着海王，手指朝地面輕輕一勾，一股力量便托着一塊木牌從地面緩緩飄起：“這是能解開你詛咒的道具，如果你能說服陳初，離開的時候我可以把他送給你。”
海王很想說不要，但他真的很想要。哪怕死，他也想先解開詛咒再死。
“解開陳初學長的道具是哪個？”林媗忽然問道。
大祭司看向林媗。
林媗“咯噔”一下，緊張的對系統一頓念叨：“系統，快屏蔽他！快屏蔽他！”
“……”系統。
一連念叨了十遍，林媗才重新平複心情，确定自己不會被對方讀取情緒：“我就是好奇，反正陳初都要死了，看一眼道具也沒關系嘛。”
大祭司聽不到林媗心聲，但可以感受到林媗的情緒，那種激動，忐忑，僥幸的情緒，仿佛還有生路。可大祭司反複計算着，他們已經沒有生路了才對。
The doubt in his heart made the high priest instinctively reject Lin's request: "You are right, he is going to die anyway, why bother looking at the props?"
Lin Yan: “…”
This old monster is so suspicious that he is still so cautious even in such a situation.
Lin Yan: "Well, if Chen Chu agrees, will you really let us go? And give me all the wealth in the Soul Locking Tower?"
The high priest smiled and said, "You are very greedy. Even after all this, you still dare to covet the treasures in the Soul Locking Tower. But I like it. As long as you can convince Chen Chu to take me out, I will grant you all the promises I made to you before."
Chen Chu is already doomed to die, so the only person who can make him compromise is his companion. Good people are always more willing to give for others. How stupid.
Lin Yan: "Okay, I'll persuade Chen Chu."
Having said that, Lin Xi turned around, pulled Chen Chu and Neptune together, and the three of them formed a circle and squatted on the ground.
Chen Chu was the person involved. He looked at Lin Xi without saying anything.
Hai Wang was a man who could not hold back on words, and he immediately became rude: "Lin Yan, don't try to use moral blackmail. It wasn't Chen Chu who caused you to go to the seventh floor."
"Shut up!" Lin Ping glared at him, then took out her cell phone and waved it in front of the two of them.
The two were stunned, and then realized that Lin Nan had something to say. They immediately calmed down and watched Lin Nan typing quietly.
Lin: [No matter what you see, stay calm for a while, otherwise the high priest will read our thoughts, especially the Sea King.]
Hai Wang was not convinced, especially what kind of ghost was he? But he immediately thought of something, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily to Lin Xi.
Lin waited until both of them calmed down before continuing to type: [I have a way to open the cage. If I’m lucky, I can also open the barrier.]
Chen Chu and Neptune both gasped and looked at Lin Xi in disbelief.
Lin: [Keep calm.]
The two of them were experienced psychics who had seen many battles, and since Lin Nan had reminded them in advance, they calmed down quickly.
Lin: [I have a tool that should be able to break the rules.]
Aquaman snatched Lin's phone and typed: [What do you mean by should.]
Lin: [I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure, but it’s probably possible. Senior Chen Chu has seen it before, Blizzard City, remember when it was dark?]
Chen Chu nodded.
Lin: [The ruler breaks, the sky turns dark, and the skill "Under the long night, there are no rules" is triggered. If it's true, the rules here will be broken. But if it's false, we're dead.]
After the Master's ruler broke, Lin Nan kept thinking about what "no rules under the long night" meant. In the end, the most reasonable explanation she could think of was to eliminate all rules, which just confirmed the words on the ruler: "Without rules, there can be no square or circle." If the ruler is a symbol of rules, then breaking it means no rules.
Aquaman was the first to express his opinion: [I'll die if I want to, let's get started now.]
Lin: [No hurry, don’t you want the props to remove the curse?]
Neptune subconsciously looked in a direction outside the cage. The wooden sign that could lift his curse was right there. He had been staring at it for a long time.
Lin continued typing: [We already know which item is Aquaman’s, so we’ll just take it. As for Senior Chen Chu’s item, we’ll have to rely on luck.]
Chen Chu smiled and shook his head, typing on his phone: [Don’t worry about me.]
It is very difficult to find the props to lift his curse, but it is already good enough if we can find the one for Aquaman.
Lin Xi ignored him and quietly took out a pink hairpin: [Let me introduce you to this: this is the hairpin of the goddess of luck, and it is also a supernatural item.]
"Oh my god!" Aquaman couldn't help it anymore. Man, how many props do you have on you? Your family must run a prop shop.
Chen Chu and Lin Yan glanced at him at the same time, and Neptune quickly shut up, but the look he gave Lin Yan was already full of admiration.
Lin: [After wearing the hairpin, you can make a wish. Within five minutes, the koi will possess you. As long as the wish is successful, the chances of success are very high. I'm too slow, so it won't work. Who will do it?]
Chen Chu and Hai Wang looked at each other, and finally Chen Chu took the hairpin and handed it to Hai Wang, typing on his phone: [I will hold the high priest, you take it.]
Aquaman snatched the phone: [I can’t take two props by myself.]
Lin: [What an idiot! The rules are gone. I don’t care how many you take.]
Aquaman opened his mouth, but was speechless for the first time after being scolded.
Aquaman changes the topic: [How long can your dark skill last?]
Lin Xi shook her head. Last time, she was only concerned about escaping and didn't pay attention to the time.
Chen Chu typing: [About ten minutes.]
Aquaman: [Ten minutes of darkness, five minutes of luck, take the minimum, we only have five minutes.]
The three of them looked at each other, nodded in unison, and prepared to get started.
Lin Xi took out the ruler, Hai Wang put on the hairpin, and Chen Chu gathered his strength.
