Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Beyond that, the perception network captured nothing.

Even the third eye could not see anything special.

Shen Qinyin was sure that the door was closed when she woke up just now.

There must be something that can avoid Xiaoxiang and Kana's perception, and even completely ignore their own insights, and open the door!

What could have such horrific means?

Shen Qiyin frowned, grabbed the Holy Judgment, opened the door, and warned everyone at the same time -

"Be careful!! Something's sneaking in..."

But before she could finish her words, Shen Qiyin's voice stopped abruptly as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat.

When the door opened, the scene that appeared was not the lobby of the B&B.

But another door.

The door is sea blue and engraved with exquisite silver patterns.

The bronze pocket watch in his arms emitted a faint light at this moment, and the lock of the blue door seemed to resonate with it.

With a slight "click" sound, the door slowly opened.

Shen Qinyin felt as if her body was gently pushed by an invisible hand and she slowly walked into the room.

That’s right, let’s go.

I clearly can't feel my legs, but now I can walk like a normal person!

Shen Qiyin had once had such an experience when she was dragged into a dream by the black tide. Because of this, she had a guess in her heart -

Although this place is not a dream, it is definitely related to dreams!

Today is also the day to update 5K~

I saw a very difficult picture, I hope it won’t be blocked~

Chapter 140 The Velvet Room, right?

As you step into the room, what catches your eye is the deep blue color like the blues at dusk.

The indigo velvet curtains moved without wind, and a bright satin sheen flowed between the folds. The floor was covered with a carpet of the same blue, with delicate patterns woven with slightly dull gold thread.

Several crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, each with a flickering blue flame.

In the center of the room stands a walnut carved desk, its dark brown wood grain exuding the unique richness of time.

Two high-backed armchairs stand facing each other in front of and behind the table. The blue velvet cushions present a gradient color like the deep sea under the moon. The dark blue at the top of the chair back transitions naturally to the light blue of the seat cushion, creating a tranquility close to death.

"Click."

The door behind her seemed to be slowly closed by an invisible hand, and the door lock closed automatically, as if to remind Shen Qinyin that she could not leave the room for the time being.

Everything here had such a strong sense of déjà vu that Shen Qiyin not only didn't feel nervous at all, but was full of relaxation and anticipation.

It seems that tonight will be another special sleepless night.

By the way, haven’t there been too many encounters recently?

"Da da da."

Just as this thought came into Shen Qinyin's mind, the sound of delicate and light high-heeled footsteps came from behind her without warning.

As a faint fragrance permeated her nostrils, Shen Qinyin's eyes lit up and a pretty figure suddenly came into her sight.

She was a slim woman wearing a finely tailored navy blue double-breasted uniform. Her long silver-white hair fell softly to her waist, and the ends of her hair swayed gently at her waist with her steps.

The skin-hugging uniform outlines her slender waistline, the knee-length skirt wraps her well-proportioned legs, the transparent black stockings glow hazily under the chandelier, and the pair of pointed high heels on her feet highlight the seductive curve of her calves.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

She walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down, facing Shen Qiyin, holding her cheeks with both hands and showing a gentle smile:

"Welcome to the 'gap between dreams and reality', Shen Qiyin."

"I am Melodia, your..."

"secretary."

The woman's voice was gentle and sweet, more mature than Tang Miao's and less charming than Kana's.

Shen Qinyin looked at the other person's face carefully. The fair skin on her face exuded a pearly luster, and the dark golden irises flashed a unique arc of light in the dark blue room.

Her snow-white neck was tied with a black lace collarband, a sapphire pendant hung on her chest below her collarbone, and a gold-plated fountain pen was inserted in the left breast pocket of her uniform.

Just as she introduced herself, she is more like a secretary, well-educated, quiet and elegant.

Shen Qinyin felt that her questions were popping up one after another like bubbles in a hot spring.

She unconsciously walked to the chair and sat down, sorting out her words before slowly speaking, "The gap between dreams and reality...what does this mean?"

"The world is composed of 'matter' and 'spirit', but apart from these, the universe is not empty.

Here, in the space between the two elements, you can think of it as a place that connects dreams and reality.”

Melodya's answer was quite official, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth had a standard of international diplomacy, making Shen Qinyin feel like she was talking to Xiaoxiang No. 2.

Neither of them had human-like emotions and spoke in a rather mechanical manner, as if they were completing a task.

"So, I'm neither dreaming nor in reality now?"

"You can understand it that way, but to outsiders, you're no different from a dream."

"......I see."

Shen Qinyin pondered for a moment, staring at Melodya. The other person's voice always made her feel quite familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

She tried hard to recall, her thoughts frantically searching her mind. After a silence of about ten seconds, she finally remembered -

Yes, it was in a dream!

It was the time when they returned to Yunlan City and sought the "help" of the Lurkers to defeat the Black Tide clone!

At that time, Shen Qiyin was affected by the black tide and was dragged into a dream. In the dream, a gentle female voice said to her:

【Qiyin■■I will be waiting for you in■■■......】

Now, the inaudible part of the sentence can be supplemented.

The complete sentence should be: Qiyin, I am Melodya, I will be waiting for your arrival in the gap between spirit and matter.

Tang Miao once said that she encountered a "phenomenon" when she was in the shelter.

The result of that phenomenon was that everyone had the same dream and heard the same female voice.

That is Melodia's voice.

This "phenomenon" represents the collective subconscious, and this room is located in a place similar to what everyone subconsciously believes exists.

It’s a bit complicated to explain, but in short, just think of this room as a channel connecting the spiritual world and the real world.

Yes, there was no doubt about it, it was the Velvet Room.

Melody was my secretary, so my relationship to her was about the same as that between Elizabeth and Harry, Margaret and Mingshang, and Lavenda and Chuck.

This really has become Persona.

What about Igor? My old long-nosed man?

By the way, this girl who calls herself Melodya took the main seat without any care. Isn't she a secretary? If she is a secretary, shouldn't I take that seat?

Besides, could this world I've traveled to be the worldview of a certain Shin Megami Tensei worldline? That would be too dark.

Shen Qiyin threw away these random thoughts and continued to ask the other party: "Melodia, you claim to be my secretary, so what can you do for me? What do I need to bring to you?"

"Although I cannot see through you, you do have a 'special' power..."

Melodya rested her hands on her cheeks, her dark golden eyes gleaming with amber. "It's no exaggeration to say that the world you live in is on the brink of destruction. You are facing a test that could be described as hell."

"Can I refuse this test?"

"...Ah, I didn't expect you to say that."

Melodya opened her mouth slightly, her signature smile showing a hint of surprise, but she quickly calmed down.

"The so-called test is just an abstract description. What we know is that in this world on the verge of destruction, only you have the ability to turn the situation around.

You can refuse to face this hopeless reality and embrace destruction along with humanity. No one will condemn you, and there is nothing wrong with such behavior.

"Oh, I was just kidding." Shen Qiyin shrugged and complained, "Actually, I already knew that since I have the template of a protagonist, there must be a main plot line of saving the world. Anyway, that's how it's written in novels."

"You're so funny."

Melodia said in a diplomatic tone.

She opened the document that looked like a contract in front of her, took out the gold-plated pen from the left breast pocket of her uniform, and pushed both in front of Shen Qinyin.

"From the moment you were born, this room has been yours. Now that you have the key to enter the room, you have the right to enjoy all the uses of this room. Let's start with naming it, right?"

"Naming? Ugh, I'm the worst at that."

Shen Qinyin held the pen and waved it back and forth on the white paper.

Well, let’s name it after our own name, the word “音” (sound). This room is a bit lifeless, it would be better to make it more lively, like a party.

So let’s call it “Music Party”.

Uh...just kidding.

After thinking for a while, Shen Qinyin solemnly wrote the three words "rest room" on the white paper.

She wanted to give it a mysterious, elegant and noble name, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was completely unnecessary.

Just like she named the golden finger in her mind "notebook", Shen Qiyin doesn't like these fancy things. Practicality is what she values ​​most.

When Melodia saw what she had written, she was astonished for less than a second.

However, with her wisdom and experience, she quickly controlled her emotions and praised Shen Qiyin:

"As expected of you, this name is very humane."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Please sign your name at the end."

"it is good."

Shen Qinyin moved her pen and wrote her name as instructed.

As I stopped writing, the originally dark blue walls of the room suddenly took on a ripple-like velvety luster, and the off-white paint flowed along the walls like liquid moonlight.

A soft bed covered with goose down bedding appeared out of thin air, the sofa and TV were displayed in the room as if squeezed out from the cracks in space, the Victorian-style coffee table slowly fell down, and fresh rose petals were placed in the middle of the exquisitely patterned white porcelain tea set.

The blues room, which was previously dead silent, turned into a warm lounge in just a blink of an eye.

"When you feel tired in the future, you can come here to rest." Melody introduced Shen Qiyin, "Here, you can recover your mental strength faster.

As you invest more in your room, more venues and facilities will gradually open up.”

"I see......"

Got it, home system.

Shen Qiyin's first reaction was: "If I farm here, can I take the crops out?"

"Sorry, no," Melodia shook her head slightly. "As I said, this is not the material world. The objects that exist here do not have physical form. Everything is based on the reflection of your mind."

"oh......"

Shen Qinyin was a little disappointed.

She originally thought that she could use this place as a disguised shelter and safe house and develop various functions, but the other party's words meant that no tangible materials could be taken out, including food.

If we regard this place as a spiritual world, then everything we can do must be related to the spirit.

Shen Qiyin noticed that new handwriting appeared on the document she signed. She picked up the document and slowly read it.

This document is roughly equivalent to the instructions for using the Velvet Room...no, the rest room.

According to the above records, the rest room has a meditation room, a training room, a trial field, etc.
