Chapter 20 Forced Consumption
There is a dark corridor inside the castle gate, and the entrance is led by bluestone steps, which I don't know where it leads.
The flickering candlelight reflected the walls on both sides of the corridor, and a few wisps of dust and smoke scattered, adding a bit of strange color to this secluded long road.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ling turned his head and turned to leave.
"That's all there is to the haunted house, right?"
The more Ling Yi thought about it, the more reliable he felt: "Since this place is called the 'Manor of the Gods', what about the gods?
If it was before, Ling Yi would not have believed in these ghost myths, but since he saw the spirits in the undead train, he felt that sometimes there was nothing wrong with being respectful to these unknown beings.
Coming to the big screen, Ling Yi did not hesitate to exchange the three pillars of incense and a flashlight, not for anything else, just in case.
Back at the ancient castle, Ling Yi turned on the flashlight, and the cylindrical circle of light instantly hit the inside of the corridor—in the dark depths, except for the bluestone floor and the murals on both sides that could not be seen clearly, there was nothing abnormal.
Putting food and mineral water at the door, Ling Yi walked towards the corridor.
It's not because they're too heavy, but because once they encounter danger, Ling Yi tries his best to ensure that he can escape from the castle as soon as possible!
Ling Yi admits that he is not a timid person who is afraid of death, but his life creed is: It is meaningful to die if you die!
Obviously, dying of a terminal illness or paranormal event was not the way he agreed.
The flashlights shone on the murals on both sides of the corridor, and after a closer inspection, Ling Yi found that the carving methods of the two murals were extremely clever! The pictures of the entire corridor were connected, and every knife was very detailed, and every stroke was just right.
The frescoes on the left are depicted with few figures, from torches to electric lights, from stone hammers to guns, from wooden boats to rockets, showing the progress of technological civilization. Until the end of the corridor, the last section is painted like a spaceship from a movie, and the pattern in the back is something Ling Yi has never seen at all, it is a circular structure similar to an eggshell.
"Most of the previous content can already be produced with modern technology...... It's just that these last few patterns are too weird. ”
Ling looked carefully, and a handsome face was almost attached to the wall.
"Could it be that the rest of the content shows future technology?"
Thinking of this, Ling Yi couldn't help but be a little excited, if the eggshells were also the products of future technology, wouldn't it mean that the manor that could record all this was the future beyond the future!?
"It would be nice to bring these patterns back to life......
Ling Yi sighed helplessly, it was not certain whether he could get out alive now, he was still thinking about contributing to human civilization, and he thought about it enough.
Turn around and look at the mural on the right side of the corridor, unlike the left, it is printed with a large number of humanoids, from beginning to end, it is more like a huge chronicle.
The reason why it is called a humanoid creature is only because the characters on it are either winged or three-legged, and the images of multi-eyed and clawed are countless, and the painting is simply a group of demons dancing.
"If the left side is about technological progress, then the right side is about the evolution of life. ”
Along the way to the end, Ling Yi suddenly stopped, and was fixed by a picture at the end.
It depicts a long-haired woman wearing a crown with six huge wings floating in the air like an angel on her back.
On her opposite, a hooded figure is depicted, holding a large serrated scythe with a pair of black wings growing on its back.
"Angels and Death?"
Ling paused to look at it, wondering if there was any meaning to this painting, could it be that such mythical and legendary characters really existed in the Manor of the Gods?
After thinking for a moment and having no answer, Ling Yi simply stopped thinking and strode through the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a stone door, which opened automatically after Ling Yi stopped. So far, except for the need for verification when you first enter the castle, it seems that all other places have received reincarnation information synchronously, and there is no need to verify it.
Walking into the stone gate full of hope, Ling Yi coughed incessantly with the thick smoke and dust, and when he put the light into the door, it was empty!
Walking into the stone room, Ling Yi didn't dare to come out, for fear of inhaling some harmful gas and then dying......
After turning around three times in a row, Ling's face was like ashes, but he was puzzled in his heart: "The entire castle looks majestic from the outside, how can it become an iron box as soon as you walk in?"
I must have not found the main entrance!
Ling Yi resolutely left the corridor, and then began to march around the ancient castle step by step.
Seeing that it was getting late, except for the mountains and lakes in the distance, Ling Yi searched carefully wherever he could reach with his feet, but there was no passage to enter the inside of the ancient castle except for the previous door.
At the same time, Ling Yi was sure that there was no one here but him!
"Do you mean...... Am I the first to come here?"
Ling Yi quickly denied his slightly narcissistic thoughts: "Maybe it's the same as the reason of the seventh carriage, the manor separates all the reincarnators to different places in a parallel time and space way...... In other words, there are not only people here, but there is a high probability that there are many people!"
The moon stars are sparse, the shadows of the trees are hazy, Ling Yi is sitting alone in front of the big screen in a daze, the only reality he doesn't want to admit at this moment is that the stone house like an iron box is the dormitory arranged for him by the manor!
Suddenly, it occurred to Ling Yi that there seemed to be an option for "furniture building" in the system......
After being stunned for a moment, Ling Yi suddenly got up and said angrily, "Isn't this special meow just forced consumption?"
"Give me a gabion without even a lamp or bed, and then force the player to buy furniture on the system, you are sorry for this kind of bad method!"
"We must resolutely resist this kind of improper business vice!"
Whining angrily, Ling Yi suddenly felt that the evening breeze here was a little too cool...... With a thought, Ling Yi opened the column of furniture construction......
......
With Ling Yi's continuous efforts that he couldn't resist the temptation, the stone house had a new look at this time!
A two-meter-wide bed with a soft mattress and a light quilt...... In the corner of the stone house, Ling Yi also specially exchanged two flowers and plants to put on the wall, nothing can purify and purify the air.
"That's right!"
Running outside the stone gate, Ling Yi propped up the oil lamp on the wall so that he didn't need to be careful not to crash into the door every time he ran.
Looking at the new residence he had spent 20 points to furnish, Ling Yi nodded with satisfaction.
At the end of the promenade illuminated by two rows of candles, a stone door slowly opens under an old-fashioned oil lamp...... In addition to being weird, it's even weirder!
However, Ling Yi is still very confident in his aesthetics, and feels that too deliberate clothing will get tired faster, the more casual the arrangement, the longer it will be durable, and he will never allow himself to waste the points he spends.
Shrinking in the quilt, Ling Yi felt extremely relaxed, since boarding the train, the nerves of the whole person have been tense, and now he can finally put down his mind and rest for a while.
Not long after lying down, Ling Yi felt that the chest that had been injured before was still emitting a dull pain, and the effect of this treatment of rain was obviously too ordinary.
"Or ...... Try?"
Ling Yi's thoughts returned to the system's "Body Repair" option, if he didn't step on this pit, it would always be a knot in Ling Yi's heart.
Lifting the quilt, Ling Yi trotted all the way to the big screen: "Body repair." ”
As soon as the picture turns, it is still the previous two choices, full repair and partial repair.
"Anyway, I was cheated twice...... It's not bad this time!"
With a horizontal heart, Ling Yi directly chose "partial body repair".
"Please select the area you need to fix. ”
A system sound suddenly sounded from the sky, and Ling Yi noticed that the words on the big screen had disappeared, replaced by a human anatomy diagram.
The image depicts a male body, most of which is painted in light green, with only the ribcage of the chest being dark green and the heart being red.
Ling Yi was the most seriously injured in his chest before, and in this picture, the color of his chest cavity was also different from other organs!
"The heart position is red......"
Ling Yi remembered that his personal doctor had explained to him the pathogenesis of Morgan Hull's disease, which was a terminal illness induced by congenital heart dysfunction.
Biting his lip, Ling Yi didn't stop doing anything, and directly chose his heart!
Fight for it!
"I'm sorry, you don't have enough points, please go to the 'Samsara Information' to check your points and try again!"
The apologetic prompt tone completely shattered Ling Yi's extremely excited mood: "Insufficient? My more than 2,000 points are not enough to cure the disease!"
Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, then tried to "repair the body completely" again.
"I'm sorry, you don't have enough points, please go to the 'Samsara Information' to check your points and try again!"
Failed again......
Ling Yi frowned, could it be that this disease will be incurable until the future?
No way...... How could the super dream technology, which can even swap space and time at will, be helpless against such a physical disease!
"Maybe it's just because I don't have enough points......"
Ling Yi, who was originally high-spirited, was like a deflated ball at this time, looking at the human anatomy diagram with his head down.
"Try fixing your ribs. ”
Returning to the local repair, Ling Yi chose the dark green part of the chest cavity on the picture.
"Successfully pay points, 150, start repairing!"
Ling Yi listened to the pain in his flesh, and another 150 points were gone...... However, compared to his previous worst predictions, this is already considered a good price.
In the dark night, a burst of green light came from the clouds and fell directly on Ling Yi's body, and while secretly sighing for magic, Ling Yi could even directly feel that the ribs in his chest that had not been healed by the rain were completely connected in an instant!
The green light only stayed on Ling Yi's body for a few seconds before it dissipated instantly, and the night was silent, as if nothing had happened.
Comfortably running back into the stone door, Ling Yi ate and drank to his heart's content, and finally collapsed on the most extravagant bed in the whole house......
