Please be sure to follow the following rules.
When the lights are off, please stay directly under the table…
Before I could finish reading this, the room lights suddenly went out.
My scalp immediately tingled.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a girl scream.
"ah--"
A thought struck me: I've lived for thousands of years, how can I still be so afraid of people and ghosts!
At the same time, the voice of the Thunder Strike Sword immediately echoed in his mind: Master, there is indeed something strange here. But this girl's reaction is a bit odd! Isn't she the one who dominates the manor?
As I calmly pondered, Yiyi leaned against my shoulder, then began to nuzzle against me, seemingly unintentionally.
"Brother, I'm scared! These rules... could they possibly make us..."
Yiyi didn't continue.
I knew exactly what she was going to say.
And her actions were probably taken in response to the prevailing trend.
After all, in such a pitch-black environment, whether one is truly afraid or not, probably no one will investigate further.
The girl's actions may have had a special meaning, or they may have truly been driven by instinct.
Could it be that she really sees me as someone she can rely on?
I didn't think much of it; at that moment, the most crucial thing was the merchant's tricks.
Since this merchant is untrustworthy and turned off the light before I even finished reading the rules, then don't blame me for being impolite!
The principle of "courtesy first, then force" applies, but you broke the protocol first!
Without thinking twice, I immediately sent a telepathic message to Lei Jijian: "Chop this broken table in half!"
Without hesitation, the Thunder Sword could no longer talk about being out of energy or being afraid.
If you were placed next to that powerful sea scabies worm from before, you could just play dead!
I'm afraid I won't say anything.
Right now, don't back down from this broken table!
Without hesitation, the lightning sword struck down straight down!
Ping Pong —
As luck would have it, the blow landed squarely on the old, worn-out metal box in the middle of the table, which contained the withered yellow paper strips.
I was completely numb.
Goodness, such a big table, and it landed precisely on this small object!
Seeing this, even the lightning sword in his mind felt a little ashamed.
"No problem, Master! At this level, even ten wouldn't be enough for me to cut down if I went all out! I'm just conserving my strength; who knows how I'll manage later!"
Immediately afterwards, the lightning sword charged up—
The table was shattered in two with a loud crash.
The seawater gradually returned to its previous gloomy and dark color.
At least it's not pitch black anymore.
At that moment, I suddenly looked down.
Yiyi was already leaning against me.
Upon seeing this, the girl feigned reluctance and kept a distance from me.
But I could clearly smell the faint fragrance that lingered on Yiyi's skin.
Is it her natural body odor? Or perhaps the scent of some kind of flower?
"Brother, let's take another look at that rule sheet!"
I realized what was happening.
I'll give that bastard a damn thing!
So you mean you're playing word games with his dad here, right?
If I can't hide inside the table, then if I just chop the table in half, nothing will happen!
I slowly picked up the note that had been scattered on the ground.
But then they discovered something astonishing!
The already yellowed paper was covered with many small tears in just a few minutes.
There was also a strong fishy smell all over it!
I told Yiyi about this.
"Brother, it seems that during the time the table was broken, this rule might have been eaten by many deep-sea creatures!"
Yi Yi spoke her opinion slowly and deliberately.
She explained that such serrated bites are usually found in extremely ferocious deep-sea creatures. They may not be large in size, but they are thousands of times more ferocious than small fish and shrimp when they are starving!
When I heard this, I was quite puzzled.
I looked around and saw that the surrounding walls hadn't faded.
These walls have effectively isolated the surrounding environment!
I looked up at the "sky" water above.
It's even less likely that it was sprinkled from above.
That leaves only one possibility!
The deep-sea creature is sealed beneath this chopped-up table!
After hearing my idea, Yiyi nodded repeatedly.
Lei Jijian had the same idea.
This is similar to a kind of formation I've seen before. It looks like an ordinary object, but the creature inside is triggered by a certain action.
If we follow this line of thought, wouldn't the triggering action be to crawl under the table?
I frowned, and my breathing became rapid.
It seems like I just escaped a potential disaster!
If Yiyi and I had actually followed the rules and hid under the table, we might have been met with incredibly ferocious fish and shrimp!
You half-dead businessman, you really know how to mess with your father!
I tried to make the lightning sword crash into the surrounding walls, but after a few tries, the lightning sword was helpless.
"Master, this is definitely not an ordinary wall!"
I am even more convinced now.
This is definitely not a typical physical blockade.
Based on the sealing formation we just saw, there must be something here that's being sealed!
Otherwise, we could simply push off the current and get out by changing our body shape!
