After sitting for a while, she unconsciously looked up at the sky, trying to clear her mind of all distractions.
Just as her mind was clear, she suddenly heard a soft "click" sound.
She instinctively opened her eyes.
In an instant, she found herself standing in front of a small mud-brick house.
Not far from the mud-brick houses stands a towering modern building, more than two hundred stories high, with the four large characters "Century Building" written on it.
The sun shines brightly overhead, green mountains stretch into the distance, and fertile fields lie not far away.
Herds of livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs roam freely, while poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese are scattered all over the land. A stream babbles, and a gentle breeze caresses the face.
Therefore, the Century Tower seems particularly out of place.
After a brief moment of surprise, Yang Wanwan was overjoyed.
This is her space!
After she died, she realized that the space must be the secret that the Lin family had been searching for.
In their past lives, the reason the Lin family took the three siblings back to the Lin family was because of this secret.
The Lin family owned a large mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, which was their ancestral home. After the two siblings died, their bodies were laid out in the ancestral home for one night, and Yang Wanwan has been floating around the ancestral home ever since.
Grandpa Lin lived in the ancestral home for a long time.
The ancestral home has three courtyards and is built in a very elegant and exquisite manner. The Lin family's ancestral hall is located in the last small courtyard.
In the center of the ancestral hall are the portraits and memorial tablets of the Lin family's ancestors, which the Lin family descendants worship during festivals.
After officially recognizing her ancestry, Yang Wanwan was frequently taken to the Lin family's ancestral home. Sometimes it was as a guest, and sometimes it was for a short stay.
There, one day, Yang Wanwan suddenly discovered that she could enter a space.
At this time, the space contained this small mud-brick house, herds of cattle and sheep, and crops such as wheat and beans, with distant green mountains stretching into the distance.
At that time, she discovered that the space did not bring her joy, but rather immense fear.
Because space is such a strange thing, it's too incredible.
She suspected that some kind of ghost or spirit had come after her and wondered if she would be killed.
Therefore, she did not tell Grandpa Lin and Uncle Lin.
At that time, her intentions were good.
She was genuinely grateful to Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, and others, so she didn't want them to worry about her.
But now that I think about it... Grandpa Lin and Uncle Lin were actually looking for this very space all along.
They tried to coax her into telling them, but she refused. Soon after, they plotted to drown her.
The drowning occurred at the rooftop swimming pool of the Century Tower.
Later, they even tricked Er Ye and Shang Tao into saying that Er Ye and Shang Tao had no idea at all.
The fact that I was able to become a wandering spirit and drift for many years, able to see all things in the world, must also be related to space.
Before she died, Yang Wanwan spent a lot of time figuring out the principles of space.
For example, in terms of time, one day outside is equivalent to one month in space.
For example, there's a stone golem in the space that she can command. However, the stone golem is like an old farmer, only capable of doing very basic physical labor. In her previous life, she had directed the stone golem to build houses, but the golem could only build those rather unattractive mud-brick houses; it couldn't do anything more delicate.
For example, she can enter the space with just her thoughts, or she can enter the space and disappear on the spot. She can also use her thoughts to go to any place in the space that has already been developed, or she can use her thoughts to move things that have already been developed in the space to the outside, or move things that are not far from her outside into the space.
The so-called development here refers to an area of about one hundred acres. Yang Wanwan calls it the development zone.
As for the area beyond those hundred acres, Yang Wanwan had no control over it and had never been there. The sounds of wild beasts often echoed from that vast forest, and Yang Wanwan dared not venture there.
Today, Century Tower is also located within the development zone.
Yang Wanwan died on the top floor of the Century Building, and the building itself entered the space, though Yang Wanwan didn't know why. Before her death, although she could move things from outside into the space, there were limitations on the size and mass of the items.
For example, she can fit two or three motorcycles in at most, but not a small car, let alone a large truck.
For example, she can take a pig out, but she can't take a cow out.
Therefore, the development area of the space mostly contained daily necessities, books, and equipment that she had brought in, which weren't very useful. As for the food crops, she had to grow them herself. In her previous life, she had never lacked food, so she hadn't bothered with them at all. Even after harvesting, there were no machines to thresh the grain; she couldn't very well take the wheat ears out to sell. As for livestock, she didn't care about them either.
Occasionally, she would take out a few fish or chickens from her spatial storage to make soup. The taste was always quite good, but that was about it. Therefore, for Yang Wanwan in her previous life, the spatial storage was a rather useless thing.
After her death, although she could still enter the space, she could no longer command anything.
In the years after her death, she frequently wandered around the Century Tower, figuring out every nook and cranny of it.
Except for the absence of humans, everything inside the Century Tower is exactly the same as it was decades later; even the elevators are still running, and advertisements are still playing on the mall's giant screens. Everything is preserved, exactly the same as it was decades later.
As for what's inside, it has everything.
The two underground levels are parking lots, housing all kinds of luxury cars. The first and second underground levels are a large supermarket with a wide variety of goods. The third to sixth floors above ground are shopping malls, selling clothing, jewelry, entertainment, sports, electronics, and more.
