Chapter 813: The Dead Man's House

~9 min read 1,791 words

"I didn't expect that such a unique cross-dimensional point was hidden in Tianchang City. I just don't know what kind of world this is."

Li Yi stood by the window and looked at this new world seriously.

This world was obviously also a modernized world, but the level of technology didn't look high. The cars on the road were relatively old-fashioned, and the level of architecture also stayed around the nineties.

After observing slightly for a while, he didn't get more information.

"Go out and see."

Li Yi decided to walk around, see this world with his own eyes, and try to find a way to destroy this building. As for whether his clone could return to Earth, it didn't matter. At worst, he would die here, which wouldn't affect him.

Just as he turned around and prepared to return along the original path, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and then his eyes stared fixedly at the dining table just now.

Originally, there were three bowls of rice and three dishes on the dining table, but now there were only a few empty plates left on the dining table. It seemed that at some moment, someone came here and ate all the food on the table.

The fish head in the plate containing the braised fish was the only thing complete. The gray-white fish eyes seemed to be looking in Li Yi's direction, and an uneasy, strange aura permeated the surroundings.

The corpses of evolvers lying horizontally and vertically told that this building was not simple.

These evolvers could come to this world through food as a medium like Li Yi. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be trapped here at all. At the very least, they could walk out of this building and go to the outside world.

"In this world, does this building also have problems?"

Li Yi noticed at this time that the location where he was was some distance from the area where normal people were active, at least three kilometers away.

Although there were many old residential buildings around, these residential buildings were dead silent and empty. Here was an area that was abandoned, or blocked.

"Like World No. 36, if the place where supernatural events occur cannot be handled, it will be blocked. It seems that people in this world know the danger here, so what I need to do now is to find a way to escape this residential building?"

Li Yi didn't act rashly. His experience as a messenger told him that this world also had some kind of incomprehensible strange power.

After thinking for a short while, he tried to walk out of this room.

Soon.

Li Yi came to the dim corridor.

The corridor was silent, and only this place had traces of living. Other places were abandoned, which was exactly the same as when he first entered the building. He walked downstairs along the steps quickly.

Soon, Li Yi came to the first floor.

But when his eyes looked outside, his face sank again.

Outside the corridor was not the outside world, but a room. The layout of that room was exactly the same as the place he just walked out of. It was also a dining table, and there were three empty plates and three empty bowls on the dining table.

When he walked out of the corridor, he found that he had returned to this room again.

It was like an infinite loop, trapping Li Yi here.

However, Li Yi didn't feel strange about this. If this building was so easy to escape, those evolvers wouldn't have been trapped here, and they would have gone to the outside world long ago.

Subsequently, he came to the window and tried to climb out of the window and jump out of this building.

But the window was tightly closed, and Li Yi couldn't open it.

He took a deep breath and punched out. Although this was just a clone, the power erupted could easily level a building.

This punch hit the window, and the whole building was shaking violently. Cracks appeared along the wall constantly, but the window didn't break, and the cracked wall was also repairing at an unimaginable speed.

Sure enough, there was a power that couldn't be understood entrenched here.

This power didn't belong to cosmic energy, a bit like supernatural power.

"I don't like this strange world. I feel like my martial arts have nowhere to play, tied up, and I have to use my brain to solve puzzles." Li Yi stopped trying to break the situation with brute force.

If it could be left by strength alone, those evolvers would have left long ago.

So he calmed down and didn't destroy anything here, so as not to miss the opportunity to leave here because of blind tossing.

"Perhaps the supernatural items of World No. 36 can play some role in this world."

Li Yi subconsciously touched his wrist. He thought of the many black letters he had collected, perhaps he could use the power of the letters to leave here, but he realized at this time that this was a clone, and he didn't bring anything, empty-handed.

No way, he could only shift his gaze to these evolvers who were trapped to death here.

Li Yi collected some relics from these corpses and found that he really found a lot of things.

Several smart phones without power, battle knives made of extraordinary metal, nano-metal clothes, and storage rings from the Profound Immortal Continent.

But what made Li Yi feel strange was that there were nutrient solutions, nutrient chambers, and some elixirs in the storage rings.

That is to say, this evolver was not starved to death here, he was killed here alive.

If he was starved to death, it was impossible for food to remain in the storage ring.

That is to say, this building is not as simple as trapping people. At some point, terrifying danger will appear. If he stays here for a long time, Li Yi will also encounter danger, and will likely be killed here.

Although it didn't matter if he, as a clone, died here, but once the clone was destroyed, Li Yi himself would definitely not investigate here again, which undoubtedly announced the failure of this operation.

Looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

The time is now 5:20 PM.

Outside the window is dusk.

According to Li Yi's guess, if he is safe during the day, then it must be dangerous at night.

"I ate that bowl of rice and got contaminated with some medium power to come to this world, so the key to breaking the situation is still on this dining table." His gaze moved to the empty plates that were eaten clean again.

The fish head that only had the skeleton left was still staring at Li Yi with gray-white eyeballs. The dead eyes seemed to be telling him that death is coming, if you don't find a way as soon as possible.

Li Yi then walked into the kitchen. He felt that since this table of food was eaten, he might be able to make another table of food and put it up to restore the previous appearance, which might satisfy a certain condition to leave here.

But after he turned around in the kitchen, there was nothing in the kitchen, empty.

There were no ingredients for him to cook at all, obviously this idea was wrong.

"Not right?"

But Li Yi turned on the faucet in the kitchen and found that there was tap water flowing out, clear, clean, with a hint of coolness.

"If it doesn't work, wash the bowls?"

He couldn't help but pop up such a strange idea.

However, Li Yi really did this.

He took all the empty plates and bowls on the dining table to the kitchen and washed them clean. As for the fish head that looked a bit scary, he threw it into the trash can in the kitchen.

Anyway, try it, if it doesn't work, there is no other way.

After doing these, he turned around in other places, wanting to find something unusual. He looked at the sky outside, it was about to get dark, and a premonition told him that if he didn't find a way, he would likely not be able to pass this night.

Finally, he turned around in the room several times seriously.

When Li Yi opened a wardrobe, he was stunned.

Hanging in the wardrobe were pieces of red and green paper clothes. These clothes were not for living people to wear at all, like those burned for the dead, and what made people's scalp numb was that these clothes even had traces of use.

Who would go out wearing paper clothes?

"Cold rice on the dining table, paper clothes in the cabinet, I understand a little now." Li Yi took a deep breath: "This is simply a house for the dead, a ghost house. Now it is daytime, so the owner of the house did not appear, but at night, the living sleep, the dead appear, and that is when terror descends."

"I hate this ghost place. Next time I should let Yang Wei come here, he is more suitable for dealing with these ghost things."

What is certain is that this world will also have ghosts.

It's just that I don't know if the ghost things in this world can be killed. If they can, then there is no problem.

Li Yi didn't move these paper clothes, and finally looked for them in other places.

In the corner of another room, he found something.

A gray-white paper umbrella.

Li Yi tried to pick it up and look at it, but found that this was just an ordinary paper umbrella, not a supernatural item. He could also easily destroy this paper umbrella, but he didn't do so.

"Paper clothes and paper umbrellas might be the key to leaving here."

This idea popped up in his mind.

Li Yi's idea was very simple. If this is a ghost house for the dead, it means that the dead can come and go freely, so as long as he becomes a dead person, he can easily walk out of here.

And this dead person is not a dead person in the true sense, he only needs to make this ghost house think he is a dead person.

And he ate the dead man's rice, wore the dead man's clothes. If it was night, he might not be a real dead person. ===== CHAPTER 814 =====

Having eaten the food of the dead and worn the clothes of the dead, if night were to fall, he might well become a true dead man himself.
