Chapter 188 I Want to Borrow a Book
Seven days passed, and this time, Lin Xi wasn't so lucky to be selected again, while He Sitong was unlucky enough to be connected again. This time, some familiar streamers were also present, such as Aaron Jones, An Xin, and Wang Xue.
But the difficulty of this dungeon was somewhat unfortunate. Even He Sitong couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate, let alone the other streamers. The theme this time was "Movie Theater," and the rules were simple: sit in a chair and watch a movie.
The rules are so densely written that even the team responsible for handling the detailed explanation of the rules would have a headache. The most outrageous thing is that this instance only lasts four hours, including the waiting time before the opening and the ending screening, etc.
In a short time, the Rule Monster World's intentions became clear: they were to deal with this troublesome group of streamers. There were too many rules, too many ghosts. Unlike most openings with just one person, this time the streamers opened their eyes to face a swarm of ghosts.
They held the ticket stubs of their movie tickets in their hands, which showed the time: a show at four in the morning, but it was only two o'clock now, which meant they had to wait in the waiting area for another two hours.
There was no Lin Xi in this instance, but Cai Hua was still analyzing: "There should be a very rare prop in this instance - a screen. If it involves a movie theater, there must be a screen and a picture. I speculate that there is a high probability that ghosts will appear on the screen, just like when you were watching TV at home."
Just thinking about it can make you imagine how disgusting this dungeon is. From the waiting area to the seat to watch, it is full of murderous intent. An Xin, who fought side by side with Lin Xi in the previous dungeon, also died in this dungeon, not to mention the other few people who just lay down. For these anchors who have only experienced it once, this dungeon is too difficult. Even if they can wait from the waiting area until the movie starts, pass the ticket check and go to the seat, they will die after the movie starts.
Wang Xue held on. She had always been treated as a weak being and no one had high hopes for her. But before she knew it, she had passed two dungeons. This was her third dungeon. She held on until the time to watch the easter egg. The moment the lights in the entire studio came on, even Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
But the aunt who came in to clean up the garbage took Wang Xue's life.
The moment Wang Xue's screen went black, Lin Xi couldn't help but look away, unable to bear to look.
Aaron Jones survived, but he did not come out unscathed. His broken leg was taken away by the rule weirdness. Even if he had the incredible ability to invalidate a certain rule, he could not survive unscathed.
He Sitong also survived. Her talent was there, but she wasn't as meticulous as Alan Jones, so her injuries were even more severe. In the movie, the tanker truck exploded, and the raging flames shot straight out of the screen and toward He Sitong. She dodged immediately, but the heat from the hot oil scorched her arms and back, leaving her severely burned.
With her last breath of strength, He Sitong tossed the trash hidden under her seat into the cleaning lady's trash can. After the live broadcast ended, she returned to the specially designed room. The medical team didn't even carry her out, but rushed directly into the sterile room to treat her.
As long as you stay in He Sitong's live broadcast room and hear her weak, animal-like cries from the burns, you can't help but be moved. She can't even scream out in pain because the rules of the movie theater don't allow it.
Once a sound is made that affects others, the surrounding ghosts will kill it. Except for the first whimper, He Sitong covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
She managed to get through it by relying on her willpower. Some people cannot endure the pain and have to stay in the world of rules and weird stories forever.
After returning to the real world, He Sitong fainted instantly due to the sudden relaxation of her spirit. She slept for three days before waking up. Even after waking up, she was still in the intensive care unit. Lin Xi told her through the glass to have a good rest.
The game of weird rules must be stopped here and must not spread. Lin Xi knew that she had no option to take Shen Sang Ning back to the real world.
It was too difficult for Shen Sangning to return to the real world, and there was no place for her here. Without the ghosts of the Rule Weird Tales world to nourish her, she would be starving year-round. Lin Xi didn't want to see this happen. The best solution was to go there, stay there, and work with Shen Sangning to sever the connection between the Rule Weird Tales and the other worlds.
To be honest, those old guys in the Rule Strange Tales have lived too long. If they were surviving naturally, no one would say anything, but they are surviving by grabbing everything from other worlds and other lives.
If the garbage world is gone, it's gone. There's no need for a world without vitality and only plunder to exist. As for Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning, they can live as many years as they want. It would be nice to say goodbye to the world hand in hand at the end of their lives.
At least that’s what Lin Xi thought.
She actually didn't have any big revenge, and saving the world was not something she had any interest in. She was just unhappy that the bastard who made their lives so difficult could be at ease.
After a bye round, Lin Xi felt that it was his time to play.
When the time came, she returned to the real world with a head full of knowledge she had memorized by rote. Arriving in the familiar dark space, she ignored the light screen and directly called out Shen Sangning, then recited everything she had remembered to Shen Sangning.
After saying it all, Lin Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She recited it again at the last minute. It was really difficult to recite these difficult things. She didn't recite them so seriously before the college entrance examination.
Lin Xi has already graduated and has basically returned everything she learned to her teachers. Now asking her to memorize things seems as difficult as climbing to the sky. Her mind is empty with only two things in it: "I'm so hungry" and "Ning Ning". It is really difficult for Lin Xi to input so many rote memorization things into her head.
Shen Sangning felt a little strange at first, but soon began to memorize. Ghosts have better memories than humans, otherwise Brother Sun Ke wouldn't have been able to remember everything that happened over such a long period of time. Shen Sangning's memory was also better than most people's, so memorizing it wasn't a difficult task for her.
It's just that Shen Sang Ning is a bit stupid now. Although she has memorized it, it is still difficult for her to successfully apply it. But it doesn't matter. As long as she eats more, it won't be long before the stupid Ning Ning becomes a smart Ning Ning. Who knows, maybe she can handle a small particle collider by herself.
After being talked to by the organizer of the rules talk in the dark space, Lin Xi was kicked into the dungeon.
│
This time, the feeling was a bit similar to He Sitong's previous copy. When she opened her eyes, she was not alone, but a place full of people... To be more precise, it should be a place full of ghosts. A note was stuffed into Lin Xi's hand. She unfolded the note and saw the rules on it.
Horror Library:

8. All books in the library are numbered. Please do not read books with numbers starting with S.
Clearance conditions:
1. Survive for seven days;
2. Borrow a book called "History". 】
The moment he saw the clearance requirements, Lin Xi couldn't help but look back at Rule 2. At that moment, Lin Xi thought: Are you kidding me? It's clearly stated that no borrowing is allowed, yet the clearance requirements specifically state that I can borrow books.
But if you look closely, you'll find that Rule 2 actually has a loophole. It explicitly states what will happen if such behavior is discovered, so...wouldn't it be fine if we just didn't get discovered?
Lin Xi still didn't like stealing, so she decided to take another approach - borrowing books openly.
Lin Xi looked around and found herself at the entrance of the library. No wonder there were so many people here. Lin Xi was even a little bit in the way. She didn't know what the rules of the main hall of the library were, but blocking the way was obviously not a good thing, so Lin Xi moved her feet and walked towards the front desk as she thought.
The front desk of the library is no different from the real one, with a long counter and a clerk sitting behind it; but the real front desk should have people coming and going.
Readers can borrow and return books. When there are many people, they may have to queue up, but there is no need to queue up here. There is not even a bird in front of the front desk.
Lin Xi raised her foot and walked towards the front desk.
She stood in front of the counter, staring at the clerk inside. The clerk couldn't stand it anymore and spoke first: "What do you want?"
Lin Xi opened his mouth and said, "I want to borrow a book."
The clerk's eyes twitched. She seemed not to have heard Lin Xi's words clearly, and could not help asking again: "What did you say?"
"I said I wanted to borrow a book."
The clerk had never heard such a request in such a long time. At this moment, the clerk was ready to roll up his sleeves and have sex with Lin Xi. Why was this living person pretending to be stupid with her? He was really not afraid of death by doing this to her.
The clerk was about to stand up, but sat down again when she saw a hand extended from the chest of the living person opposite her, gently pointing at her. Most people might not know what this meant, but the clerk knew. Even the Aoki Mental Hospital next door was taken care of by this man! Was she really going to die or didn't know her own weight, daring to shout in front of this killer?
Suddenly, the clerk became soft and sweet: "We, we don't allow borrowing here." Fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied, she added: "It's not that I don't allow borrowing, it's the rule of our superiors."
