Chapter 892

"System, didn't you say the location of each appearance is random? Why do I feel like this place looks familiar?"

Luo Quan looked at the familiar room before her, feeling that something was going very wrong.

After the false alarm earlier, she continued to sleep without turning off the Anywhere Door function, originally thinking she would go to a new place.

As a result, upon opening her eyes, it was still the same location where she had disappeared before.

Even that glass cover had already covered her, and the girl had even brought over a chair, crossing her legs of astonishing length, staring at her with a half-smile.

Seeing her appear again, the girl showed an "I knew it" expression, then opened her mouth and uttered a string of syllables.

Luo Quan looked at her blankly; although the language sounded a tiny bit familiar, it was truly too difficult to understand.

"Can't you understand?" Bai Xingwei saw that the blue figure inside the Soul-Detaining Bell seemed to have no response, her willow-leaf brows furrowing slightly as she switched to another language.

However, there was still no response.

"You don't understand either of the official languages; it seems you aren't a native of this planet."

The girl stood up and gently placed her hand on the Soul-Detaining Bell.

Seeing this, Luo Quan immediately became vigilant, preparing to have the system drag her back, only to find a voice suddenly appear in her mind: "Can you understand what I'm saying now?"

"Holy crap!" Luo Quan was greatly shocked; besides the system, a second voice could actually appear in her mind, so she immediately responded: "I can hear you!"

However, the system's voice rang out: "This is mental language; in Huaxia terms, it's 'transmitting sound into secrets,' a common way of communicating when languages don't match.

But since you don't know the technique, you can't communicate with her, so you can only listen and not speak.

Besides, you are currently in a state of consciousness and have no vocal cords, so you can't speak anyway."

"What a pain," Luo Quan said, hands on her hips in frustration, but she still looked at the girl and nodded.

She didn't know if nodding meant agreement on this alien planet.

"It seems you can understand," Bai Xingwei breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Then stay here honestly for now; I'll go get you a machine for communication."

After saying this, she turned and left the room.

"System, should I run now?" Luo Quan touched the glass container covering her and found it quite sturdy.

The system wasn't panicked at all: "The person before you currently has no malice toward you; you can try to make contact. If you're lucky, she might be able to help you understand this planet."

Luo Quan felt this made sense, so she sat down on the floor.

Two minutes later, the girl returned, holding a translucent electronic screen, which she stuck directly onto the Soul-Detaining Bell, then said to Luo Quan inside:

"This is a universal translation board. If you have anything to say, just think about it in your mind, and it will appear directly on the screen. If you understand, nod your head."

Luo Quan complied.

Seeing this, the girl finally sat back down in her chair with peace of mind: "First question: Who are you, why did you appear in my room, and what do you want to do?"

The girl hit Luo Quan with the three philosophical questions right off the bat, which was something she hadn't expected.

Who am I, where am I, and where am I going—these were the ultimate questions that had plagued so many great philosophers, right?

Of course, the girl probably didn't want to understand the essence of the questions.

"I come from the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula. I don't know why I'm here either. For the past few days, whenever I sleep, my consciousness flies to this planet, but the location of each appearance isn't fixed. I don't know why I appeared in your room twice this time."

Luo Quan told the truth, but not the whole truth.

In a situation where she wasn't sure if the other party was friendly, she definitely couldn't reveal her true identity.

As for the M78 Nebula, if she really managed to find it, that would be this girl's skill.

"Your appearing twice is thanks to the Soul-Detaining Bell. It can locate souls and imprison them, which means you can't just slip away like you did before."

Hearing Luo Quan's explanation, Bai Xingwei smiled proudly.

However, the next second, the little blue person before her actually disappeared into thin air.

"How... how is this possible!" Bai Xingwei simply couldn't believe her eyes.

Although the Soul-Detaining Bell wasn't some heavenly-grade treasure, it shouldn't be unable to detain even an alien wandering soul.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on that wandering soul were so weak; it shouldn't have had any power to resist!

After spending five minutes in surprise and doubt, the little blue person appeared again.

"It seems this thing of yours isn't as magical as you said." This time it was Luo Quan's turn to be proud, mocking the girl slightly.

"Don't get proud too early; this is just the weakest of all my treasures!" the girl said, looking at her fiercely and gritting her teeth.

Luo Quan smiled: "Just joking with you, don't be so excited. We can talk about some more constructive topics.

I've already told you about my background; now, can you tell me your name and the situation on this planet?"

Talking about this, the girl became full of pride: "This is my home planet, Huanyu!"

"And then?" Luo Quan couldn't hear the rest, so she spread her hands and asked.

"You actually don't know the famous Huanyu Civilization?!" the girl opened her mouth in disbelief.

Luo Quan scratched her head and explained: "Maybe my hometown is too remote. In fact, our technology is very average; we can't even leave our own star system."

From a geographical standpoint, Earth and even the entire Milky Way were on the edge of the universe, belonging to a typical backwater—to put it bluntly, a crappy place where even dogs wouldn't come.

As for this Huanyu Civilization, it was probably more famous in the center of the universe.

"Then it seems your home civilization isn't even level three; no wonder you don't know."

Hearing Luo Quan's description, the girl nodded slightly: "In any case, you just need to know that the Huanyu Civilization is one of the strongest civilizations in the universe. This planet is the home planet of the Huanyu Civilization, and its name is also Huanyu.

There are many countries on the home planet of Huanyu, which have formed a joint political entity that collectively rules over territory spanning as many as thousands of supercluster groups.

There are two strongest countries in the joint political entity: one is called the Divine Blessing Federation, and the other is the country I am in, called Saint Tang."

A massive amount of information flooded into Luo Quan's mind, making her feel a bit dizzy.

She knew there were civilizations in outer space, but she hadn't expected them to have developed so absurdly.

What was the concept of ruling over thousands of supercluster groups? She couldn't figure it out; she only knew that one supercluster group contained thousands upon thousands of galaxies.

And the solar system where Earth was located was just a drop in the ocean within the Milky Way.

This matter couldn't be thought about any further; the more she thought, the more her head swelled.

"Then the Huanyu Civilization is indeed very powerful. So, if you discover outsiders, how do you handle them?"

Even though she was in a state of consciousness, Luo Quan habitually rubbed her temples, wanting to relieve the pressure here.

"If they are not Huanyu natives, they are generally sent directly back to their home planet.

The home planet of Huanyu is the holy land that all citizens of the Huanyu Civilization yearn for most. Every year, countless alien natives come here by smuggling; they all rack their brains trying to get residency permits here, because only then is it possible to get a household registration for the home planet of Huanyu."

When the girl said this, she wasn't as proud as she had been just a moment ago.

And Luo Quan, hearing this, felt that this scene was too familiar; it could be seen almost every day on Earth, so she joked: "Then it seems that as long as one gets a household registration for the home planet of Huanyu, one can be considered a superior person?"

The girl's mouth curled slightly: "Although I believe that all people are born equal, the fact is that everyone's rank is determined at birth.

Just like those non-human alien natives; no matter how much they love the Huanyu Civilization, very few people treat them as equals, and there is always a bit of discrimination.

By the way, you aren't a non-human native, are you?"

"I look about the same as you, just not as pretty," Luo Quan said dismissively.

To be honest, the girl before her was definitely a top-tier beauty, one in ten thousand on Earth; there was almost no problem with her taking second place for the world's most beautiful face.

Wen Xia, Su Yu, Kalilian, and others were no match for her.

But, compared to herself, the gap was a bit large.

However, she had no interest in competing with an alien right now, so she chose a humble way of speaking.

And hearing that Luo Quan was also a girl and looked about the same, the girl's guard dropped quite a bit.

"By the way, we've been talking for so long and I still don't know your name," Luo Quan asked the girl.

The girl smiled radiantly: "My name is Rose Under the Daylight Meteor; you can also call me Bai Xingwei."

The name sounded quite nice, but Luo Quan was curious if all alien names were called like this?

Then shouldn't she be called "Luo Water Becomes Spring"?

This literary atmosphere made Luo Quan shiver: "Hello, Bai Xingwei, my name is Dagu."

"What a strange name," Bai Xingwei was seeing someone with the surname "Da" for the first time.

"People from backwaters are like this; names are taken to be a bit humble so they are easier to raise."

Luo Quan waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to dwell on it: "Speaking of which, I might be coming to Huanyu before long. There is a legend in our hometown that some people's souls might drift to another world when they sleep, which is also called 'Dreaming into the Divine Machine.'

I should be at such a stage now, and before long, my physical body will come to this world. As for how long I will stay, I don't know either.

So, dear Miss Bai Xingwei, can you teach me the language of Huanyu so that when I truly visit your home planet, I won't be sent directly back home because of a language barrier?"

Luo Quan began to spout nonsense with a straight face, and the key was that her tone was very sincere.

"Then what benefits can I get?" Bai Xingwei crossed her arms, her smile full of mercenary intent.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world; except for great philanthropists, very few people would extend a helping hand to a stranger they didn't know.

Bai Xingwei was clearly not a great philanthropist.

And Luo Quan, facing a citizen of a highly technologically advanced civilization, didn't know what good things she could bring out. Should she say, "The latest Apple phone just came out; let me arrange a top-spec Pro Max for you?"

This was clearly a joke.

Seeing Luo Quan silent, Bai Xingwei spoke up: "If you don't know how to repay me, I have a proposal.

After you arrive in Huanyu, you can come directly to the Saint Tang Imperial Capital to find me at the Bai family. If it's too far away, just find a Huanyu law enforcement officer and mention the Saint Tang Bai family; they will definitely be able to send you to me.

Then I can handle a student visa for you, allowing you to temporarily obtain the qualification to live in Huanyu, and even let you enroll in the best spiritual cultivation school in Huanyu!"

"Then, what is the price?" Luo Quan knew that pies didn't fall from the sky, so she asked directly what she wanted.

Bai Xingwei smiled and said: "There are many things in school that are inconvenient for me to do, and I need someone with a clean background to do them for me.

But don't worry, I won't let you do anything illegal or undisciplined."

"So I'm to be a hired thug," Luo Quan's eyes lit up after hearing this, thinking to herself that she was good at this.

Bai Xingwei nodded slightly: "That's about the meaning, but as you are now, you are far from meeting my requirements. Spiritual cultivation has nine levels; I'm afraid you haven't even broken through the second level yet—you are truly pitifully weak. When you get to Huanyu, you will need to cultivate a lot!"

"I understand this." Although the words were a bit harsh, Luo Quan knew Bai Xingwei was telling the truth.

"As for now, I'll teach you the language of Saint Tang first, and then I'll find you some books to let you understand the basic knowledge here."

Subsequently, Bai Xingwei tapped a few times on the universal translation machine; this thing immediately turned into a learning machine, starting to play language teaching at a kindergarten level.

First, it started with the pronunciation of the Huanyu language.

Fortunately, Luo Quan now had system assistance; even if her brain wasn't particularly clear in her dream, she could learn very easily.

As long as the teaching video finished playing, she could basically learn it.

But time definitely didn't allow for it.

The video had only played for two chapters when Luo Quan said to Bai Xingwei: "Let's stop here for today; I'll come back to learn the rest tomorrow."

"Why?" Bai Xingwei looked at her in confusion.

"As I said before, I can only come here when I'm dreaming. Now my dream is about to wake up, and a new day is about to start; I can only come back when I rest at night."

"I see. Then let's leave it at that for now; next time you come, I'll equip you with a smart light screen."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Quan had already disappeared.

Bai Xingwei looked at the empty Soul-Detaining Bell and revealed a smile: "Dagu, what an interesting name."

Actually, if she were just a simple alien girl, she wouldn't have been able to pique her interest.

But this Dagu from the M78 Nebula, despite having low strength and a home planet with underdeveloped technology, could ignore the power of the Soul-Detaining Bell.

This was the place she was most curious about, which was why she wanted to keep her and figure out what was going on.

Of course, needing a thug with a clean background was also a fact.

Now she only hoped that this Dagu wasn't a loser...

On the hotel bed, Luo Quan opened her eyes and woke up for the third time; this time it was finally daytime.

But compared to that, she preferred the secret teaching that took place at Bai Xingwei's place.
