Chapter 139

Lu Yanli and Zhuang Ci successfully entered the room. Passing through the living room, they discovered a familiar open sketchbook on the table.

It was a sketchbook that he himself had created.

She remembered Lin Chu’s warning and didn’t mention that they had found an identical sketchbook under Yu Gaoyi’s corpse. But judging from Lin Chu’s meaning, this sketchbook should have been drawn by him.

Strange, why was the sketchbook that Lu Yanli had drawn in Lingmei Town brought to this other world? No strange abilities have been detected on the sketchbook itself so far, so who brought it here?

The two sides had unequal information. Lu Yanli had already lost the sketchbook he found in the library. He believed that the one on the table now was the one he had redrawn halfway and was taken away by his future self. And now, he still had a redrawn sketchbook on him.

Three in total.

So, why did his future self need to draw the sketchbook? What exactly was this sketchbook used for?

Just to record a story?

Both fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts, yet each harboring their own ulterior motives, unwilling to reveal the information they possessed.

This was exactly what the future Lu Yanli had anticipated.

He was naturally suspicious and collaborations were always short-lived. He would never easily reveal important information. This was both his weakness and, when facing his past self, his only second advantage after possessing more information.

Lu Yanli had to ensure that his past self would proceed according to his predetermined path.

At this moment, Lu Yanli and Lin Chu from an unknown time and space in the future were walking in Lingmei Town after a major disaster.

Lingmei Town was the site of his experiment, the intersection he sought between the surface and inner worlds.

The world where the research institute was located, Lu Yanli called it the surface world. He called the world he was in the inner world.

Based on several tomb explorations, the weirdness of the inner world was caused by the invasion of the Nirdai Kingdom from another time and space brought about by the weird object statue many years ago, and the weird object originated from the research institute in the surface world. They had somehow researched many strange things.

Because of the characteristics of the statue, more and more worlds were constantly being created in addition to the inner world where he was. The problem of the surface and inner worlds was like the chicken and egg problem, and it was already difficult to distinguish cause and effect.

Lu Yanli wanted to break this cycle. He used the statue to make a wish and created an independent space, and then used the Shuangyu Jade Pendant to replicate the space.

He had done this experiment many times, but without exception, they all failed.

Each time it failed, he had to escape from the replicated Lingmei Town space that had become ruins again through the statue. And this time…

On the ground in front of him, a girl was lying unconscious.

Her appearance was exactly the same as Lin Chu, who was hiding next door!

The replicas created by the Shuangyu Jade Pendant would constantly be attracted to the original body. Lu Yanli had already created several replicas, washed away their memories of being replicas, and sent them to the outside world.

Lu Yanli had only one purpose here, which was to trap the original body Lin Chu, so that after the replicas went to the outside world to complete their tasks, they could return following the attraction to the original body.

After a while, the girl’s eyelids kept twitching, looking like she was about to wake up. Lu Yanli lowered his eyes and let her struggle.

“I…I understand…”

The girl walked out in a daze.

She didn’t know that she was just a replica summoned from the future. She had forgotten what happened in the future and only remembered that she and Lu Yanli and others were walking out against the tunnel of Lingmei Town, and now she was still in the darkness.

Lu Yanli let her continue to fall into a coma, used the statue to make a wish, and sent her to the tunnel of the original Lingmei Town.

With Lin Chu’s will, if the seeds of obedience had not been planted in her heart since childhood, he might not have been able to hypnotize her so smoothly when she grew up.

She…

Lin Chu shook her head, feeling a little dizzy. She didn’t know what she had just seen, and she had lost consciousness for a short time. This made her a little uneasy, and she quickened her pace forward.

She didn’t know that she had embarked on a path different from Zhuang Ci and others.

Lu Yanli, on the other hand, had made another discovery.

Something seemed to be in the crack of the closet door…

“Zhuang Ci.” He didn’t intend to do it himself and called out to the woman who was flipping through the sketchbook, “There is an abnormality in the closet.”

Lu Yanli took the opportunity to step forward and exchanged the book on the table with the sketchbook he carried with him, and turned to look.

The closet was opened by Zhuang Ci, and inside was a small red statue.

It again…

Zhuang Ci subconsciously wanted to destroy the statue. Before taking out the fluorescent green spores, her movements were stopped by Lu Yanli.

He was very wary of these people from the outside world. If hypnosis was unsuccessful, he would choose to eliminate these people as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he succeeded again. Zhuang Ci nodded in a daze. After a snap of his fingers, she looked at the empty closet, her expression a little dazed.

“There’s nothing in the closet, could it be that you saw it wrong?”

Lu Yanli had already come to the door: “Maybe.”

“Although I’m afraid of alarming them, well… alarming them is alarming them, I need to take this sketchbook away.” Zhuang Ci briefly explained a few words to Lu Yanli and put the sketchbook close to her body.

Another person was still watching out at the elevator door, leaning against the wall as if he didn’t hear their footsteps. Zhuang Ci quickly ran over and patted him on the shoulder: “Let’s go.”

“Wait! Don’t touch him!” Lu Yanli hadn’t finished speaking when Zhuang Ci’s hand had already patted him.

What was in the elevator now?

“Let’s go!” Lu Yanli reached out and pulled Zhuang Ci, and the two ran towards the stairwell at a high speed.

Sure enough, the ghost wall was here.

The next floor was still the same.

They seemed to be trapped in the false fourteenth floor and could not escape. The “thumping” sound coming from above was getting closer and closer…

But they couldn’t not run, the sound behind them was getting closer and closer. They could already feel the chill coming from behind.

His voice was dry and cold, like a rusty iron block that had been soaked in water for dozens of days rubbing together, making people very uncomfortable to hear.

Zhuang Ci didn’t look back and kept running.

“You can’t go first.” The voice continued.

Lu Yanli and Zhuang Ci ran faster.

Unconsciously, the staircase became quiet. In addition to their own footsteps and the increasingly close “thumping” sound, there was only the cry for help from the dead companion.

“Wait for me… Save me! Save me!!”

He let out a desperate scream, and the sound was mixed with the sound of fingernails scratching the iron door and the soles of shoes rubbing on the ground. It was clear that he had encountered a very terrible thing before his death.

“Wait for me! Wait for me!”

“Save me!! Why don’t you save me!”

Lu Yanli was puzzled as he fled.

He died too quietly. Either the wailing just now was just a forgery, or… he had indeed suffered such terrible pain, but for some reason, they didn’t hear it.

Lu Yanli took out the statue.

It was thanks to Zhuang Ci’s reminder that he suddenly remembered that the statue was not only used for wishing to revive.

As long as it was used well, he could use the statue to travel through time and space.

“Why do you carry it with you…” Before Zhuang Ci could finish speaking, the two disappeared on the spot.
