507 Gates to a New World
When the pill enters Jane's mouth, the effect is immediate.
All the colors in the underground wards began to fade, like faded old photographs, and the walls, ceilings, and floors of the wards, along with the medical instruments in the room, began to rapidly transform into the darkness of nothingness.
Color, sound, light, everything that can be perceived is gone.
What followed was a boundless dark void.
I don't know how long later, when Lin Chi regained consciousness again, he found himself sitting on a broken wooden chair. The body moved slightly, and the broken chair below squeaked dangerously.
"It's ...... Where? β
Jane's voice came from behind him, Lin Chi turned around, and immediately saw that the girl was sitting up from the wooden bed, rubbing her eyes in confusion, looking left and right in confusion.
As in the Doomsday Hotel, the girl still looks like a "black straight girl", except that her clothes have changed into a shabby linen dress, and at this time, she is staring down at her body with big green eyes. On the thin face, a happy smile suddenly appeared:
"I ...... Finally ......"
She tried to move her legs, then threw her arms like a fool, and as soon as she jumped off the plank bed, she fell to the ground and fell on the wooden floor of the hut, and then immediately got up and cried out excitedly:
"My body is back! I finally ...... I can move! β
- This poor girl, who had been lying on the hospital bed and couldn't even move a finger, was naturally ecstatic when she suddenly regained her life. The excitement began to dance.
However, even though she seemed to be about to completely lose her mind, Lin Chi still reminded: "Don't be too happy, it's not the real world here." β
There is no doubt that I am still in the space of Zhen's consciousness, and this ghost place cannot be the "real world" at all. As for why, just look at the neighborhood to find out:
At this time, where they were, was an antique wooden house, the walls of the room were made of brown wood, the floor and ceiling were made of the same material, the smell of sandalwood wafted in the room, and the various furniture looked to be old.
Lin Chi looked down at the linen robe on his body, feeling that the timeline of this place should be in ancient times, and it was obvious that it was impossible to have any drugs such as "sedatives" in this kind of place.
He slowly stood up, moved his stiff body, bypassed Jane, who was still jumping around excitedly, and stood in front of the window to look out of the house.
The result is a verdant meadow that looks completely unpolluted, like the wallpaper of the INDOS system in early computers.
The grass-covered hills stretch into the distance, and above the horizon is a blue sky. The only discord was the black castle that appeared at the back of the hill.
"What's that?"
Lin Chi focused his gaze on the stone castle with black walls, and even though it was far away, he noticed that the walls of the castle were inlaid with some spikes. In the center of the castle, a towering minaret reaches the sky, bringing out an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Wow......"
Jane, who also came to the window, also saw the scene outside the window, couldn't help but widen her eyes, stretched out her little hand and pressed it on the glass:
"This place...... It's exactly like the ancient castle I imagined! β
"Have you ever had such fantasies?" Lin Chi looked sideways at the girl.
"Hmm!" Jane nodded sharply: "When I was lying in a hospital bed, someone would come to maintain the equipment every week, and he used to tell me many stories, including the legend of swords and magic......"
"I couldn't move at the time, hated that damn ward, and occasionally fantasized about being able to enter that ancient world and be one of it."
Speaking of this, Jane lowered her head and folded her hands, looking a little embarrassed: "At that time...... I was thinking if I could build a castle on a scenic hillside...... Then become the queen of the inside, and be revered and adored by the inhabitants of the neighborhood......"
Hearing this, reminiscent of a not-so-good ancient European legend, Lin Chi smiled and said, "Your idea is very dangerous." β
Now he can confirm that this space is also an illusory world created by "Jane" as the main consciousness, and the reason why it appeared here is probably due to her desire to "become the queen of the castle".
In this way, I may not have taken a step further into the real world, but instead entered a deeper world of consciousness, but now, I don't have time to care about that kind of thing......
Lin Chi opened his status bar and confirmed his current status, only to see that the attributes were completely different from before, and the skill bar was still empty. He fumbled around his pocket, and once again found the only item he had brought into the mapβthe legendary "Observer's Contract".
This time, the contract was also turned into a worn-out papyrus, with a line of words written crookedly on it, which should be the task this time:
"Enter the royal court."
Seeing the text on the contract, Lin Chi casually put the thing back in his pocket, looked at the girl who was still dangling around him, and said, "Come with me, you also want to go to that castle, right?" β
"Uh-huh, let's go!" Jane's emotions were extremely excited, and the magnitude of her nodding made Lin Chi worry about whether she would fall.
Lin Chi put on the cowhide boots in front of the wooden house, searched in the house, and finally found a bent iron rod in the cabinet next to the bed, took it in his hand and tried to wave it, barely using it as a weapon for self-defense.
He didn't know what enemies would appear in this space, and he didn't know if the damn "tranquilizer" would catch up again. But now, it can only be one step at a time.
Moreover, several other players who are still alive may also be in this space......
Thinking of this, Lin Chi opened the door of the cabin, and when he was about to leave, he saw that Zhen was not wearing shoes at all, so he jumped up and down in front of the door, looking at the broken wooden door in front of him with anticipation.
"Don't you wear shoes?" Lin Chi asked.
"I want to use my own feet...... Feel the dirt here! Jane rubbed her hands excitedly: "Let's go!" β
"Okay then." Lin Chi smiled, didn't say anything, and pushed open the only door of the wooden house.
The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, and the two of them were immediately bathed in a cool breeze. Lin Chi, who once hoped to build a "tree house", couldn't help but have a smile on his face:
He had to say that the environment of this space was very much in line with his appetite.
Blowing in the breeze, the two walked briskly up the meadow towards the castle in the distance.
