Chapter 193 Isn't this a scam? !
Lin Xi used the tickle skill. When Shen Sang Ning was alive, she was quite afraid of this skill, often laughing until she cried. After the war ended, she would occasionally sulk, saying that Lin Xi was really mean. Lin Xi could only apologize and make Shen Sang Ning her favorite meal.
Now it didn't have much attack power, but Shen Sang Ning pretended to tickle her own flesh and laughed a few times.
After the fun ended, Lin Xi thought of asking Shen Sang Ning: "Where did Ning Ning learn this new hair skill?"
"It's also on the long-haired ghost."
Lin Xi subconsciously asked: "When have we ever encountered a long-haired ghost..."
She'd actually already remembered it when she asked, but the question had already been uttered, and Shen Sangning answered her: "Principal Di is the Long-Haired Ghost, but her specialty seems to be turning hair into tentacles, but it's essentially the same. After fighting her, I got a slight understanding of her attributes, as well as some of her other common skills, so I evolved new ones on my own."
"What kind of lemon is that?"
Faced with this question, Chen Sangning shook her head. "I don't know either. I'm not very clear about the classification of ghosts. And maybe I'm a new species. After all, Cai Hua also said that my formation is very different from other ghosts, so maybe I'm a new ghost."
Lin Xi had already revealed everything Cai Hua had said, including his speculation about Shen Sangning's current condition and the details of the small particle collider the staff had given him. Shen Sangning was quite curious about the small particle collider, but there was no rush.
"I'll go find Brother Sun Ke during the free time after the dungeon is over to see if it's possible to figure it out."
Lin Xi blinked: "You're not taking me with you?"
Chen Sangning shook her head: "No, Lin Xi should focus on clearing the customs now, and other things should be put aside for the time being." What Chen Sangning said made sense, but she had clearly agreed that clearing the customs was the most important thing, but at night she insisted on dragging Lin Xi to do things that were not suitable for children.
But after the sudden downpour subsided, Lin Xi leaned back tiredly on the pillow, looking at the satisfied Chen Sang Ning beside her. She couldn't help but ask her, "Didn't we say we should focus on clearing the level? If I'm wasting my energy like this, what will I do tomorrow?" Chen Sang Ning leaned over and kissed Lin Xi on the lips, saying, "Don't worry, I'll help you."
The next morning, Lin Xi inevitably slept in and didn't get up until after ten o'clock in the morning. After yawning, she went into the kitchen and made brunch for Shen Sangning. After eating, she slowly went out to go to the library.
Their laziness is unique in the entire live broadcast room. Some anchors had already encountered accidents last night. People who have experienced clearance know that it is more dangerous at night than during the day, and it is more difficult and arduous to find a place to hide. They also went there early this morning and started to study how to find the book "History".
.
Actually, we had already received a lot of information from Lin Xi's livestream yesterday. Although it was impossible to verify the authenticity, most people believed it was true. Now we know where "History" is, but the problem has become even bigger.
In the case of the librarian, Xia Cui, she's still an old ghost who's lived for at least 430 years, a long-haired old ghost with hair that's left hanging everywhere, especially impolite. In other streamers' dungeons, Xia Cui might not be the final boss, but being a librarian is already a difficult task; you have to face the final boss directly before you can borrow a book...
How should I tell other anchors about this? If I tell them, they will definitely be very unhappy and even feel that life is hopeless.
The domestic team outside was also considering this matter. After thinking about it, they decided to send this message to their anchors first and asked them not to act rashly for the time being and to wait for the information obtained from Lin Xi.
Cai Hua's team was contemplating other matters, such as Reporter Ye's home. Lin Xi hadn't observed the footage carefully yesterday, but her team hadn't done the same. They'd observed it frame by frame, and they'd also retrieved all the previous footage for verification. Cai Hua's most important discovery was... Reporter Ye didn't have a TV at home.
This is actually quite suspicious. Although screens are scarce in the world of Rule Weird Stories, and most are unusable, televisions are generally present in homes. In the "Sweet Home" instance, not only Lin Xi's home has a television, but other streamers also have them. Some even had their TVs suddenly turned on and taken away and eaten.
In the subsequent school instance, the streamers portraying students are taken home, revealing they all have televisions. Based on the "Sweet Home" instance, these TV series are all usable, otherwise the streamers wouldn't be taken away and eaten. Lin Xi and Shen Sangning even watch TV frequently, even resorting to a cat-fishing game to catch ghosts from the TV and eat them.
In other words, the TV at home is usable and not just for decoration, but reporter Ye does not have a TV at home.
That's not right. As a well-informed journalist, shouldn't Reporter Ye's press releases be broadcast on TV? It's also possible that she's not a TV news editor, but perhaps a print editor. In reality, print media now also has an electronic version, which can be viewed on mobile phones, but in the world of Guijuetan, we don't know what the situation is.
Cai Hua had previously speculated, and even Lin Xi had noticed that many of the dungeon builders knew Lin Xi's situation. Lily, in particular, knew Lin Xi intimately from the Werewolf episode. It's difficult to get such a good understanding of Lin Xi through written materials, but watching her livestreams wouldn't guarantee it. In other words, ghosts could probably see Lin Xi's livestreams, too.
Where was that from, a TV? Or maybe a cell phone?
The moment she saw Reporter Ye's home, Cai Hua's suspicion that "there might be cell phones in the world of Rule Ghost" reached its peak. If there were, it made sense that Reporter Ye, a journalist, wouldn't have a TV at home. One reason was that she was often away from home, wandering around, as Sun Ke had confirmed, and Lin Xi often knocked on the door but got no answer. Another reason was that she always had a way to view the news she was reporting, most likely a cell phone.
Everyone has witnessed the power of the big screen in He Sitong's previous copy, but the small screen has not yet appeared, which makes Cai Hua a little concerned.
While Caihua was thinking about these things, Lin Xi and Shen Sangning had already arrived at the library entrance. She led Shen Sangning in without a trace. Lin Xi immediately went to bother the library clerk again. The moment the clerk saw her, he was like a cat with its fur standing on end. He wanted to run away, but was stopped by Lin Xi.
"If you take one more step forward, I'll let my wife eat you."
Lin Xi's threat was simple but effective. The clerk could only stand there motionless with a frown on her face. Then, she heard Lin Xi ask, "Where is your librarian?"
The clerk's eyes twitched, and she knew that this person had called her up to no good. With a forced smile, the clerk said, "I really don't know. I'm just a clerk. How could I possibly know the administrator's whereabouts?"
"Then you are really useless. You can't borrow books, and you can't find out where the books are. Now you don't even know where the administrator is."
This is Lin Xi's exclusive skill - catching a ghost and torturing it. In the school copy, the unlucky guy is Teacher Gao, in the mental hospital copy, it is the clerk of the convenience store next door, and in this copy, it is obviously the clerk in front of him.
Regardless of what the clerk thought, the audience was quite amused:
[When it appeared, I knew the unlucky guy this time was the clerk.]
[It's so scary. I can't even imagine how desperate I would be if I were this clerk.]
[This is only the second day, which means the clerk will be tortured by Lin Xi five more times.]
Lin Xi didn't bother the clerk much, because Shen Sang Ning said, "Lin Xi, I actually saw two books yesterday that caught my eye. I want to take a look."
After Shen Sangning spoke, Lin Xi naturally didn't intend to continue talking to the clerk. Instead, she followed Shen Sangning and left. Shen Sangning came to the room she had visited yesterday, stood between the bookshelves, and reached out to point at a book. Lin Xi also leaned over to take a look. It was no wonder that Shen Sangning was concerned, because the book had the committee's ram's horn logo on it.
Apparently, this is a book published by the committee.
I've seen this kind of book before in school copies, and in the popular bestseller section of the bookstore, there's a bunch of them standing out. But this one doesn't look as new as the others, like an old book.
Shen Sangning took it down from the bookshelf. The book still had no title, only a meaningless pattern on the cover. Shen Sangning's brows furrowed slightly, and her fingertips stroked the cover, but she didn't open it.
After Lin Xi received the rules, she gave them to Chen Sangning to read. Chen Sangning had a good memory and had memorized them all. Rule 4: Once you open a book, you must read it all. Rule 3: Do not read a book continuously for more than half an hour. These were very specific rules.
This book is not thick, but it is not thin either. Once you open it and read all the rules, it will easily take more than half an hour. Shen Sangning would never do such a thing as breaking two rules in a row, especially when the strength of the enemy and ourselves is unclear.
She looked at the book front and back, then put it back. She was about to look at the second book, but then something strange happened. Lin Xi and Chen Sang Ning were holding hands, but suddenly a book fell from the bookshelf. The book landed right in front of Lin Xi's feet, and as it hit the ground, it broke open and flipped right in the middle.
"Isn't this a scam?! Is there any justice in the world?!" Lin Xi was truly furious at this moment. She had never seen anyone so good at scamming people. She wasn't worried at first, because Shen Sangning was right next to her, but she soon realized that if Shen Sangning had made a move, the book wouldn't have opened in front of her like this. Instead, it would have been caught by Shen Sangning the moment it fell. And the hand holding hers was exerting some force at this moment.
Then, a suction force emanated from the book, and Lin Xi was sucked directly into it. She clutched Shen Sangning's hand tightly, and at the last moment, she turned around to see countless long hair entangled in Shen Sangning's body. She also saw Shen Sangning pulling at her own hair with her free hand.
This won’t work... one hand is not enough.
Lin Xi thought so and let go of the hand that was holding Shen Sang Ning.
