Chapter 201 History of Binjiang City
"You...!" Even though Xia Cui was beaten to the ground, she couldn't help but
After saying this to Lin Xi, if Lin Xi continued, Xia Cui might be so irritated that she would vomit blood.
Lin Xi didn't want to pay attention to her at this moment: "Hand over the book."
Xia Cui was definitely unwilling, but it didn't matter whether she was willing or not. Seeing that Xia Cui was stubborn, Shen Sangning stretched out her hand and ripped Xia Cui open.
The black hair wrapped around her body was cut open as if by a sharp knife, revealing the contents of her body bit by bit. Lin Xi had never expected that Xia Cui was actually just a shell made of black hair. After cutting it open, it was empty inside, and only a book wrapped in it could be seen.
The book entangled with black hair looked like a heart connected by blood vessels, even the position was similar.
"No, don't take it!"
Xia Cui fought back, but was no match for Shen Sangning. Shen Sangning dug out Xia Cui's "heart," brushed away the black thread from the book, and handed it to Lin Xi.
The moment Lin Xi received it, he thought: Is this the end? This is too simple.
If others knew she was thinking this way, they would probably vomit a few liters of blood. This dungeon was not easy, it was a heart-breaking game; the reason why Lin Xi felt it was simple was because she was indeed determined and had no confusion at all. Another reason was that Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning skipped many steps and came directly to the last level.
Not only did they obtain intelligence, they also went straight to the source in order to get the book.
But Lin Xi was right. They were indeed going too smoothly, so smoothly that it felt a little unreal. It was as if there was a mysterious hand controlling everything, pushing Lin Xi into this situation.
While holding the book, Lin Xi felt a desire in her heart. She wanted to open this book called "History" and see what happened in this world. This desire came too suddenly. Lin Xi quickly woke up and realized that something was wrong. She suddenly let go of her hand.
The book fell straight down, about to fall to the ground and suffer the same fate as before. This time, Shen Sangning did not let the book succeed. She caught the book and pressed the cover tightly with both hands, making it impossible to open.
"Lin Xi, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi couldn't help but raise his hands and rub his arms: "I think this book is strange. As soon as I got it, a voice in my heart told me to open it and take a look. It has all the answers I want to know."
Shen Sangning lowered her head and looked at the book again. After a while, she shook her head: "I don't have that feeling. Maybe... it's directed at living people." Shen Sangning glanced at Xia Cui, she was hesitant.
Should we kill Xia Cui now? If we don't, it might cause trouble later. She is the architect of this dungeon and may change the clearance conditions at any time, which is not a good thing for Lin Xi.
It would be a pity to kill him. She had too many things she wanted to ask the members of the committee... But Xia Cui looked very tight-lipped and didn't seem like she would say anything easily.
Xia Cui was standing nearby and heard what they said. She couldn't help but laugh, "Are you kidding? You want to open it? It's impossible to open! No one can view this book!"
Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning looked at each other. Shen Sang Ning knew that Lin Xi would not lie to her, and Xia Cui did not seem to need to work hard on this at this time. Shen Sang Ning was about to open the book to read it herself. The moment Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning's eyes met, she knew what she was thinking, so Lin Xi held Shen Sang Ning's hand.
"It's okay, I'll try." Shen Sangning comforted Lin Xi, then exerted a little force with her hands.
Just like what Xia Cui said, she couldn't open the book at all. The book was like a fake prop, with no pages at all. No matter how hard Shen Sangning tried, she couldn't open it. Shen Sangning's strength was definitely not comparable to Lin Xi's. Logically speaking, if Shen Sangning couldn't open it, then Lin Xi certainly couldn't do it either.
Xia Cui showed a mocking smile, which clearly meant: See, I told you, you insist on humiliating yourself.
Lin Xi's temper flared up immediately. She muttered, "It was this idiot who said he lured me to open it. Now he's pretending to be a rock that can't be moved. I have to open it and see for myself!"
She was so quick, so quick that Shen Sangning didn't even have time to speak before she opened the book. Yes, she opened "History" and Lin Xi even had time to look at Shen Sangning before reaching out and holding her hand tightly.
At this moment, the two of them were sucked in together. Their big eyes were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly followed Lin Xi and Shen Sangning in.
This sudden change of scene also made Xia Cui a little stunned. She moved quickly, wanting to dive into the world of the book, but in the moment she was stunned, the book had already been tightly closed. Xia Cui rushed over and tried to open the book, but she couldn't open it.
“How…how could this happen?!”
If Shen Sangning or Cai Hua saw this at this moment, they would probably realize that Xia Cui had not lied before. The "History" book really could not be opened, but in the hands of Lin Xi, a living person, the book was easily opened, and even sucked Lin Xi in like the previous book.
Cai Hua, who was outside, analyzed the situation in other live broadcast rooms and quickly came to a conclusion: the books in this world are not so much for reading as they are for directly absorbing people into the world and allowing them to experience it.
At this moment, Lin Xi pulled Shen Sangning, followed by Big Eyeball, into the world of the book. They were in a world shrouded in white light, ankle-deep in water. It was very similar to the world in the book before, yet completely different. It was not dark but full of light.
Shen Sangning didn't have time to look around, but started to lecture Lin Xi: "You are really too reckless. You have to wait until I ask clearly. If you come in alone again, I will be worried to death."
Lin Xi knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and accepted the scolding, but she still explained in a low voice: "I don't know what happened at that time, but there was always a voice in my heart telling me to open the book."
Shen Sangning was still a little worried after hearing this: "What about now? Do you still have that feeling now?"
Lin Xi shook his head: "Not now, after all..." Lin Xi looked around: "We are already inside the book."
After that, the two began to visit the world in the book. Unlike the previous dark world, this world had many white doors standing, and each door was inlaid with a metal door with words engraved on it.
They are: Chapter 1, Chapter 2... and Chapter 4.
There are only five chapters from the first chapter to the final chapter, and the five doors are lined up one after another as if waiting for someone to push them. Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning looked at each other, and Lin Xi spoke first: "It seems that this means that we should push the doors one by one."
"That's what I mean, let's go."
"Ningning, you're not going to scold me anymore?" Lin Xi felt a little strange when she saw that Shen Sangning didn't teach her a lesson. Shen Sangning glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Now that you're in, there's no point in scolding you. Hurry up and open the door, and then we'll go out."
Lin Xi held Shen Sang Ning's hand and smiled like a flower. In fact, she was thinking: "The space in this book is really bright. After reading the cloudy days in the rules of strange stories for a long time, she is a little uncomfortable to see such a bright place occasionally."
I just don’t know, if this book is opened and hung in the sky, can all the light inside leak out and perform a “hanging in the sky and shining light” for her and Ningning.
The door to the book world felt heavy, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time. When it opened, it creaked, and then there was a burst of bright light. Lin Xi's desire to hang it in the sky grew stronger. With this light, it would be difficult to end without performing a sun.
Only when his eyes finally became accustomed to the strong light did Lin Xi see the scene in front of him clearly.
The bustling streets and the bright sun in the sky made Lin Xi mistakenly believe she had returned to the real world. Chen Sangning, standing beside her, saw her doubt clearly and immediately explained, "It's not the real world, it's Binjiang City."
Shen Sangning pointed to the display screen across the street. A scrolling note at the bottom of the screen clearly read "Binjiang City Commercial Avenue Projection Advertising Business Contact Number." It not only mentioned Binjiang City, but also the electronic screen.
There are also many people coming and going with mobile phones in their hands, and they look no different from people in the real world.
Lin Xi was still in wonder, and under Shen Sang Ning's guidance, she saw the title "Chapter One" above the sky. The big screen across the street was originally playing an advertisement, but it changed its appearance in an instant, as if economic news had suddenly been inserted.
The host inside was reporting: "The white fog that has stabilized in recent days seems to be showing signs of expansion. Citizens are requested to return to their homes or find shelter, and do not come into contact with the white fog." Needless to say, the white fog mentioned here is probably the white fog that covers the world of Rule Ghost Stories.
But the people on the street didn't hear it and just went about their own business.
Lin Xi understood, she looked at Shen Sangning beside her: "Ningning, this is... what happened before the Rule Weird Stories World became what it is now?"
"Yeah." Shen Sangning nodded, and then she pointed forward: "Look, the white fog is coming."
A ball of white fog suddenly appeared on the busy street, and then suddenly expanded, almost covering the entire street in an instant. People nearby were also sucked in, and soon the thick white fog completely covered them, making them invisible at all.
As the white fog appeared, the people on the street became panicked instantly, and they ran out randomly. Shen Sangning pulled Lin Xi and avoided most people, but there were too many people, and Shen Sangning's invisible power was useless to them.
The escaped person passed through Lin Xi and Shen Sangning's bodies, revealing to them that they had no physical form. This feeling was truly strange. The world in the previous book was also completely different.
"Ningning, it seems we are just observing history that has already happened."
“For us, this is actually a good thing.”
Shen Sangning said this but kept looking at the white mist. Although she could pass through it, judging from the situation just now, the white mist was probably extremely poisonous to living people.
