I am practicing in a weird world

　Lin Lingniao still looked uneasy. She cut off a strand of hair and placed it in front of her, then closed her eyes.

　As she did this, the darkness around her seemed to grow even thicker.

　After a while, the old woman seemed to have looked at all the cracks in the pile of stones, and she took a step forward.

　The sound of footsteps became farther and farther away, and soon could no longer be heard.

　Have you left?

　Xiao Yi listened carefully and could hear the sound of the wind outside, but no footsteps.

　He asked Lin Lingniao softly, "Have the monsters outside left?"

　Feeling Xiao Yi's breath beside her ear, coupled with her current state, Lin Lingniao's face immediately turned red. She whispered, "I don't know. I can't see outside."

　We have to find a way to sense the outside world.

　Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said to Lin Lingniao, "Wait until your heartbeat calms down a bit, then remove the shadow so I can sense the outside world."

　"Ah."

　Lin Lingniao nodded, and she slowly removed the shadow curtain. The shadow returned to itself and formed a long skirt again.

　As the moth's shadow disappeared, Xiao Yi's perception of the outside world suddenly became clear.

　The spatial ability fluctuated slightly, and the gap in the stone instantly became a little bigger. A ray of light immediately entered here, allowing Xiao Yi to observe the outside.

　As far as the eye could see, there were only mountains and snow outside, and no sign of Soqueyante.

　"He should have left." Xiao Yi said.

　After saying that, he moved and led Lin Lingniao out of the gap.

　There was no trace of the old woman outside, only the observatory building was still there.

　The building was still pitch black.

　"The monster has left. She went to a farther place to look for us. Perhaps this is an opportunity. We can search the observatory and perhaps find clues to leave here."

　Xiao Yi walked towards the house.

　Lin Lingniao lowered her head and scanned the ground. After a while, she found what she needed. It was a stone emitting golden light, which was the stone she had just thrown down.

　She picked up the stone and said, "We can use this to illuminate the room."

　"It's strange that the monster didn't take the stone away."

　Xiao Yi turned to look at the stone in Lin Lingniao's hand, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

　This stone can actually glow, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary object. According to his habit, if someone throws this glowing stone at him, he will definitely collect it.

　The.

　"If my estimation is correct, that Soqueyante belongs to the forest. Creatures in the forest have always disliked light, especially this kind of light that can affect the mind." said the forest spirit bird.

　"dislike?"

　Xiao Yi's face showed confusion, and he didn't quite understand what Lin Lingniao meant.

　Lin Lingniao's words gave him the feeling that it was as if he was telling him that someone didn't like money.

　Although some bigwigs have openly said in the media that they don't like money, Xiao Yi believes that they are lying. Those people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they say they don't like money, but what they do is to make money.

　"Perhaps the word 'dislike' isn't quite right. The word 'fear' is more accurate. Moths seek light in the darkness. They crave the glow, but they won't rush towards it, at least not now. They crave it but don't act. This is fear.

　Just like a chestnut in flames, it exudes fragrance, but if you reach out to grab it, you are likely to burn your hand. For forest creatures, light is like this, something that can burn them.

　Lin Lingniao handed the stone in his hand to Xiao Yi as he spoke.

　Her fingers touched Xiao Yi's hand, and the feeling of skin touching skin was transmitted, which immediately reminded Lin Lingniao of the scene in the crack. Suddenly, her cheeks became hot and instantly red to her ears.

　At that time, it was pitch black all around, so Xiao Yi probably didn't notice it.

　My clothes are not real clothes. They are made of very thin material. You shouldn’t be able to tell them just by the touch, right?

　Lin Lingniao lowered his head and was lost in thought, while Xiao Yi was thinking of nothing.

　He took the stone and walked towards the house, casually asking as he walked, "What is this?"

　"Noon Stone." Lin Lingniao said.

　"So it's the Noon Stone. This kind of stone has so many different appearances. Even if you've seen it before, there's still a chance you won't recognize it when you see it again." Xiao Yi said.

　"Have you seen this kind of stone before?" asked Lin Lingniao.

　"Yes, I have seen it. Not only have I seen it, I also have a broken Noon Stone. My Noon Stone does not glow." Xiao Yi said.

　"That means your Noon Stone is not of top quality." Lin Lingniao said.

　When they arrived at the entrance of the building, the darkness inside was immediately illuminated by the light of the Noon Stone, and a large area was immediately brightened.

　The two men tiptoed into the house and immediately began to search the house quickly.

　The first floor of the house has a simple structure, with only some simple tables and chairs.

　Soon, they finished searching the first floor.

　"Did you find anything?"

　Xiao Yi asked about the forest spirit bird.

　"No." Lin Lingniao shook his head and asked, "What about you?"

　"Nothing was found either."

　After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he took the lead and went upstairs.

　The stairs leading to the second floor are made of wood, and they look a bit old after years of wear and tear.

　As soon as I stepped on it, a crunching sound was heard.

　This immediately made Xiao Yi frown.

　Although the wind outside was very loud, the enemy was Soqueyante, a monster that was first an immortal and then transformed. God knows whether she could hear these sounds.

　He looked up at the second floor, which was not very high.

　You can jump up to this height.

　Xiao Yi jumped up to the second floor and came directly to the end of the stairs.

　There was a door there, a wooden door.

　He gently pushed the wooden door, and with a creaking sound, the door was immediately pushed open.

　The scene on the second floor appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.

　Thanks to @笔迹 for the monthly ticket.

　Volume 1: Chapter 529: Second Floor

　The second floor was simply furnished, with only a bed and nothing else.

　In the huge space, there was only a bed, on which lay a skeleton, and above the skeleton lay a huge astronomical telescope.

　There seems to be nothing unusual here. Will this really be the chance for us to escape from this strange place?

　Doubt appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.

　It was so empty here that there was nothing there. There was nothing strange to see, and no danger to sense. Everything seemed normal.

　"What do you think is the reason why the people here never leave?" Lin Lingniao suddenly asked.

　Xiao Yi recalled the hint on the piece of paper: Eight hundred years ago, there was a man who had to fall asleep under the starry sky. He ordered people to build an observatory so that he could accurately paint the starry sky on the ceiling of his bedroom. Ever since he moved into the observatory, he never came out.

　Obviously, this is the observatory. Once night falls, the starry sky will be projected into this bedroom through the stargazing device.

　The skeleton lying on the bed in front should be the person who will never be able to walk out of this building again.

　"The Suo Kui Yante just now was quite fierce. Maybe it was the murderer." Xiao Yi said.

　"Souqueyante is always craving for blood and flesh. She is indeed capable of killing people, but don't you think the corpse lying on the bed doesn't look like the work of Suqueyante? If that kind of murderer kills people, the corpse

　Bones shouldn't lie quietly in bed, and even whether there are any remains is still unknown." Lin Lingniao said.

　Hearing Lin Lingniao say this, Xiao Yi's eyes also showed doubts.

　Eight hundred years is such a long time that most of the evidence has been destroyed. There will be no signs of fighting, no wounds on the bodies, and no murder weapon.

　Although many things will be destroyed by time, some things will still be left, such as this old bed in front of you and the skeleton lying on it.

　He examined the skeleton carefully.

　Even after eight hundred years of death, the bones are still generally white in color, completely different from the bones of ordinary people.

　If it were an ordinary person, after eight hundred years, his bones would turn into dust.

　Lin Lingniao also noticed this and said, "This bone is very strange. After eight hundred years, it is still intact."

　"Maybe there is something special about this bone." Xiao Yi said.

　At this time, Xiao Yi noticed the posture of the skeleton.

　The skeleton's posture is to lie flat on the bed with his hands overlapped and placed on his lower abdomen, which looks very natural.

　It looked like he was sleeping in bed and never waking up.

　"He's lying so flat, it doesn't look like he was killed." Xiao Yi said.

　"If it wasn't murder, how did that person die?" Lin Lingniao asked.

　Xiao Yi released his perception and sensed his surroundings, but did not detect any danger, nor did he find any more clues.

　He said, "I didn't feel any danger around me. Based on what we know so far, we can't confirm the cause of death. Maybe he didn't kill me, or maybe he did. We don't know the monster's personality. Maybe he's a psychopath. He removed the man's flesh and put the bones back on the bed, so he looks like he's lying so flat.

　There are many possibilities in a situation like this. Most of the evidence has been lost to time, and we can't find the truth. There are only a few things we can do, such as confirming whether there is any danger here and searching here to see if there are any clues that can help us leave this space."

　After saying that, Xiao Yi took a step and walked towards the bed where the skeleton was lying.

　Although Soqueyante has left here, he doesn't know when God will come back, so he needs to act quickly.

　He doesn't really care how the owner of this place died. What he cares about is how to leave here.

　As long as you confirm that there is no danger, you need to take action. If you procrastinate and are suspicious, once Soqueyante comes back, it will be over.

　Xiao Yi lowered his head and looked under the bed.

　"What are you doing?" Lin Lingniao asked.

　"I'm looking for information. It's very empty here. From what I can see, the only place to hide something is under the bed. I'll see what's here. Maybe there will be clues that can help us leave here." Xiao Yi said.

　As he spoke, his eyes had already reached under the bed, and then he saw a box.

　It was a wooden box, made of pieces of wood.

　There was only this box under the rotten bed.

　Xiao Yi took out the box, and then his eyes were focused on a certain place in the box.

　It was a lock, a rusty iron lock, which locked the wooden box.

　"It's locked." Lin Lingniao said.

　"Not all locks require keys to open. Some locks can be opened with brute force."

　Xiao Yi twisted the lock hard, and the lock broke instantly.

　When the box was opened, the things inside appeared in front of Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao.

　There are a lot of different things inside, including books and some items that look like items.

　There are two books and two items, a total of four items.

　Xiao Yi looked at the books. He flipped through both books roughly, but found that he could not understand any of them.

　Two books, none of which were written in English, all were written in a language he didn't recognize.

　Putting the book down, Xiao Yi looked at the other two things. One of them was a broken mirror, and the other was a square bone.

　With careful perception, one can feel the power of the faint lamp of the soul from the broken mirror, and the power of the powerful principle of enlightenment from the square bones.

　Xiao Yi put the items down and said, "These items are either unknown knowledge or objects of power. From these items, we can obtain this information: that is, the person lying on the bed may be a practitioner of the invisible art. He may be the same kind of person as us."

　"What if these items belong to Soqueyante?" asked Lin Lingniao.

　"That means that Suo Kuiyante is a practitioner of the great invisible art." Xiao Yi said.

　Lin Lingniao smiled and said, "You are so humorous."
