Chapter 91: Castle in the Air, Strong Defense



"Boss Lin is coming down."

He Zheng was the first to see the people coming and greeted them. Lin Xingyou nodded and walked straight towards the crowd.

All the people in the restaurant on the first floor were gathered in the center, but not all the people in the Shelter of Light were present. They must have drunk too much and fallen asleep, so they were not woken up.

When she saw Yan Ze standing in the corner, and Hawkeye and others behind him, a hint of doubt flashed across her face.

When did they come up?

Tang Yi was right beside him. She was silent and noticed Lin Xingyou's confusion, so she moved closer to explain:

"They arrived after you went up. They were the head and main force of the Yan family. I was afraid that you would fall asleep, so I arranged their accommodation first."

After saying that, he handed all the crystal cores they gave to Lin Xingyou.

After taking the small cloth bag, Lin Xingyou raised his hand and weighed it, with a satisfied expression on his face, and then threw it back to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi took it in surprise, a look of confusion flashed across his face.

"Boss Lin, what are you doing..."

"It's a reserve fund so you can make up for it later." Lin Xingyou smiled easily, with recognition of Tang Yi on his face.

“Okay…Okay.”

There was a crack on Tang Yi's expressionless face, and the emotions in his heart were like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.

"Boss Lin..."

He Zheng had just opened his mouth when Lin Xingyou raised his hand to stop him. After taking off his ski goggles, he began to comfort everyone.

"The thunderstorm outside will not affect the castle in the sky, so don't worry."

After giving everyone a reassurance, she continued in a joking tone:

"Even if hundreds of nuclear bombs attack at the same time, the castle in the air will still be safe and sound. Don't worry about this. I can absolutely guarantee it."

"In the end times, there is no safer place than a castle in the air."

When she said the last sentence, there was an extremely determined and serious look on her face.

"Haha, I feel relieved with what Boss Lin said." He Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you really okay?" One of the team members looked outside, his eyes narrowed due to the flash.

Hearing this, He Zheng stepped forward and patted the man on the back, "Boy, you've been struck for so long, if anything was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago."

As he spoke, the generous man couldn't help but glance at the calm Lin Xingyou, and he became even more certain that she was not lying. There was a gleam of sharpness in his eyes when he lowered his head.

Being in the same castle in the air, she is at a higher altitude and it is more likely for accidents to happen, and if something really happens she won't be able to escape.

No one would joke about his own life!

"Since the boss has promised, let's all go back to sleep."

"Okay, I'm so sleepy."

"Let's go."

The members of the Bright Shelter who were trying hard to stay asleep were finally able to go back and sleep peacefully.

"The curtains in the room can be voice-controlled. Just close them when you go to sleep." Tang Yi reminded.

Now only the Yan family members in the corner were left in the center of the restaurant.

Lin Xingyou walked over. There was a middle-aged man sitting behind Yan Ze. His features were somewhat similar to Yan Ze's, but he looked a little listless and already old.

"Ms. Lin, this is my father." Yan Ze took a step back and introduced.

Looking up at the young woman's gaze, Yan Li raised a friendly smile. After all the trouble in the middle of the night, he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Go upstairs and sleep, it's safe here." Lin Xingyou reminded.

"Hawkeye, you and the others send my dad up first." Yan Ze turned around and ordered.

"Okay, Ms. Lin, I'm going upstairs."

Hawkeye carried Yan Li on his back and greeted Lin Xingyou with a bright smile.

After all, the two of them were acquaintances and they were still friendly to Lin Xingyou.

After everyone left, there were only three of them left in the middle of the restaurant.

"Do you have something to say?" Lin Xingyou's eyes showed a little helplessness.

He's not sleeping so late at night. Is he just bored?

Yan Ze could tell she was anxious and just said, "I'll take you upstairs."

Tang Yi: Well, she is redundant again.

The two of them stepped onto the stairs, and the silent Yan Ze finally spoke: "Thunderstorms will be accompanied by ball lightning. You'd better not go down for the next two days."

"That's why you came to the Castle in the Air early."

Lin Xingyou yawned lazily, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

When facing Yan Ze, with whom she had worked before, the woman was obviously much more relaxed. Anyway, they both knew what kind of person the other was.

There is no need to beat around the bush when saying some things.

"Almost. Even a psychic would be afraid when facing ball lightning." Yan Ze's words became more serious.

"Ball lightning?" Lin Xingyou asked in confusion.

She had heard Tang Yi mention it before, and thinking of her secretive expression, Lin Xingyou became a little more curious.

After sending Lin Xingyou to the door, hundreds of colorful lightning bolts behind Yan Ze overlapped with each other, illuminating the entire platform for a moment.

"Ms. Lin, have you never experienced this?"

Facing the light, his entire face instantly fell into darkness. The questions he raised were flat and low, as if he didn't care about the answers at all.

Her bright and elegant face was illuminated, and her eyes narrowed slightly due to the stimulation of the backlight. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them was dull and depressing.

Under his scorching gaze, Lin Xingyou's lips moved.

"No." After she said that, a smile naturally appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was completely different from the cold face she had just had.

"Go and have a rest. I'm quite sleepy."

Since then, Yan Ze never tested her again.

It’s not that he was afraid, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the consequences after knowing the truth.

After returning to the nest, Lin Xingyou's body finally warmed up a little. When she lay down on the soft big bed again, she fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

The next day, it was still gloomy outside, with a feeling of darkness looming over the city. Countless lightning flashed across the sky, interweaving colorful irregular lines.

As soon as he got down, Lin Xingyou saw the members of the Shelter of Light hesitating near the ladder, "Are you going back?"

Because they were too focused, several people were frightened by Lin Xingyou who came later.

The team member turned around and scratched his head in frustration, "We planned to go back today, but the thunderstorm weather was too bad and we were afraid it would be dangerous on the road."

"It's not that there will be danger, it's that there will definitely be danger, and it may even cost your life."

Another person's words were more pessimistic.

She probably knew what they were struggling with, so she asked, "Is ball lightning really that scary?"

"Boss Lin, haven't you experienced this before?" Everyone looked surprised.

Lin Xingyou's mouth twitched, "Maybe I'm just lucky!"

"Yeah, this really depends on luck."

Lin Xingyou:? ?

She just made up a lie, and you believe it? ?

One of the team members sighed and looked at Lin Xingyou with envy.

"Ball lightning before the end of the world could reach 1 million volts, which is ultra-high voltage. It lasts only a minute or two, and is already very unstable."

"The ball lightning after the apocalypse can last up to ten minutes. It often appears in groups during thunderstorms. Some can even pass through solid objects. It really is like the god of death."

The other person's face was filled with fear. "Yes, it only appeared once after the apocalypse, and it almost destroyed the Sanctuary of Light..."

"Shut up!"

The team member next to him directly covered the person's mouth and gave Lin Xingyou an apologetic and embarrassed smile.

"Not down yet!"

He Zheng's loud shout came from behind. Lin Xingyou slightly turned sideways and saw He Zheng walking towards him like the wind.

"Boss, it looks scary up there but it's safe. It doesn't matter if we go back a few days later." Some people still wanted to get away with it.

Before He Zheng could get angry, Lin Xingyou spoke first: "The shops below are also castles in the air, and ball lightning can't possibly get in."

"System, what do you think?"

[The host is right. All dangers cannot enter the castle in the air.]

They knew how terrifying the thunderstorm above the clouds was last night, and they could not forget the scene even if there was no sound.

After Lin Xingyou said it was safe, everyone volunteered to go down.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself."

As soon as He Zheng opened his mouth, no one else spoke.

"I'll go too." Lin Xingyou volunteered.

Everyone: ? ?

"Boss, what are you going to do?!"

Tang Yi, who had just arrived, was so surprised when he heard that Lin Xingyou was going down that he spoke with an accent.

Lin Xingyou waved fearlessly, "Don't worry, there will be no danger within the castle in the sky."

"Then I'll come along." Tang Yi suggested.

Lin Xingyou nodded. She was just curious about what kind of powerful weapon the ball lightning was that made these top psychics shudder.

Before he got down from the ladder, a noisy voice reached his ears. Lin Xing was stunned. Are there usually so many people?

As they were about to reach the ground, Lin Xingyou finally saw the situation in the room through the balcony, and couldn't help but swear:

"Depend on--"

"Oh my god!" Even Tang Yi, who was usually calm, burst out laughing.

"Boss Lin, you are really welcome."

He Zheng couldn't hide the gloating on his face at all.

There are no vending machines in the space corridor leading to the cloud ladder, and no one usually comes here, but today it is packed with people.

There are people everywhere at a glance!

"Now I believe what Boss Lin said that there is no danger. Look, it has become a real safe house." He Zheng shook his head and joked.

Not only that, as soon as they came down, a strong stench almost made Lin Xingyou faint. Fortunately, she held the handrail of the ladder to avoid getting angry.

Wearing a veil, she squeezed to the door on the first floor with difficulty under the escort of He Zheng and Tang Yi.

"Boss Lin, will you give me compensation for mental damage?"

When he arrived at the door of the first floor, Tang Yi's originally clean clothes were all stained black, and his face showed even more of despair.

"system?"

Her low and forbearing tone made the Void system tremble.

[Host, I have actually wanted to tell you for a long time that all the people below are here to seek refuge.]

"Then why didn't you say it?" she asked through gritted teeth.

I thought you wouldn't mind.

The system trembled.

"Just this once. Next time you shut up I'll make sure you can't speak again. I can see your typing anyway."

System: Host, you have such a cruel heart!
