A bed that traverses countless worlds

Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, stroking the bead in his hand. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Time passed slowly, like a snail crawling along. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the room became even more dim.

"What the hell is this thing? Is it messing with me?" Lin Yu scratched his head in frustration. Apart from being pretty and hard, the bead didn't react at all, making him feel like an idiot studying it for a long time.

The table was piled high with ancient books brought out of the tomb. Lin Yu flipped through them one by one, hoping to find some clues, but to no avail.

A strange sense of oppression began to spread in the room, and Lin Yu felt that he was having some difficulty breathing.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"System, give me a hint! I'm waiting online, it's urgent!" However, the system remained silent, as if it were dead.

Lin Yu felt like he was about to collapse. The bead was like a huge mystery, tightly enveloping him and making it hard for him to breathe.

Suddenly, the bead trembled slightly, and a mysterious force surged out from within it, as if carrying some kind of resistance and hostility.

Lin Yu felt his hand being sucked in by a powerful force, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise. The bead had finally reacted, but the reaction was terrifying!

This power was strong and strange, which made him feel a sense of fear.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute; he would never give up!

"I refuse to believe I can't defeat you!" He mobilized all his inner energy, attempting to resist this mysterious power.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, and a silent standoff seemed to have formed between Lin Yu and Zhu Zi.

The light on the bead grew stronger and stronger, and the mysterious power became more and more powerful, as if it would erupt at any moment.

Lin Yu felt as if his body was being torn apart by this force, but he still did not give up. He gripped the bead tightly.

Suddenly, that power condensed into a small phantom, attacking Lin Yu's face...

"Holy crap!" Lin Yu suddenly leaned back...

"Holy crap!" Lin Yu jerked backward, his head nearly hitting the wall.

The small phantom formed by that mysterious power followed him like a shadow, moving faster than he could have imagined.

He dodged and weaved around the room in a disheveled state, the tables and chairs shaking from the aftershocks of the battle, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

"Damn it, this thing is really troublesome!" Lin Yu panted heavily as a chair flew over. He dodged it to the side, and the chair crashed into the wall, shattering into a pile of wood chips.

Su Yao, Kong Yang, Aisha, and Alice stood by the door, their faces filled with worry.

"Lin Yu, be careful!" Su Yao couldn't help but shout, biting her lip and gripping the hilt of her sword tightly at her waist.

Kong Yang and Aisha looked tense, while Alice frowned, her short bow fully drawn, ready to shoot an arrow at any moment.

Lin Yu had no time to respond. He quickly adjusted his breathing. "I refuse to believe I can't defeat you!" He mobilized all his true energy and unleashed it instantly. The powerful airflow stirred up the dust in the room, forming a whirlwind.

Sensing Lin Yu's aura, the phantom became even more ferocious, transforming into a streak of light and rushing straight towards Lin Yu.

Instead of retreating, Lin Yu charged forward, meeting the phantom head-on. His palms moved like lightning, colliding with the phantom.

A series of explosions rang out in the air, scattering objects in the room. Tables overturned, chairs shattered, and even the floor cracked.

"Break!" Lin Yu shouted, unleashing a powerful Thunder Palm strike. A bright light burst from his palm, shattering the illusion.

The mysterious power was finally suppressed, and a smug smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

He noticed that some ancient runes began to appear on the bead, like the key to unlocking the secret.

"Is this what you've been looking for?" Lin Yu muttered to himself, his face revealing undisguised excitement.

He carefully touched the runes with his fingers, and they seemed to be activated, emitting a faint light.

Suddenly, the door opened gently, and the figure of the Tomb Ghost appeared in the doorway. Her Tomb Ghost floated in, her eyes full of concern, just like a mother worrying about her naughty child.

"Are you alright?" she asked softly, her voice ethereal, like a clear spring in a valley.

The other women, seeing this, were somewhat annoyed—why should you be the only one who cares about him!

But seeing that Lin Yu was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yao stepped forward and scolded, "You always try to be strong! Be more careful next time!" Aisha and Alice didn't say anything, but they also looked at her with concern.

Lin Yu was a little stunned by this sudden chaotic scene, but he quickly recovered and showed a bright smile: "It's okay, it's nothing, just a small matter!" He felt warm inside, feeling great to be cared for by so many girls!

"Let's stop studying that broken bead and take a rest!" Su Yao said, heading to help Lin Yu up.

"Wait!" Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand to stop her, his gaze shifting to the bead. "I feel like something is watching us..."

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and the air seemed to thicken.

The women exchanged glances, also feeling the inexplicable sense of oppression.

"What is it? Where is it?" Su Yao asked nervously, her hand instinctively tightening its grip on the sword hilt.

Lin Yu shook his head, his brows furrowed. "I don't know. It feels very strange, like..." He paused, his expression growing even more grim, "like being watched by something terrifying..."

He slowly looked around, his gaze finally settling on the dark night sky outside the window, where some unknown danger seemed to lurk...

"They're here..." Lin Yu said in a low voice.
