Protagonist:
Shen Yao
On the morning of the sixth day, Miao Weiwei discovered that the unconscious woman was gone.
The first floor had three rooms; the man who had been heavily injured by the combined efforts of those on the third floor eventually took the last empty room, while the unconscious woman had no such luck and could only become a sacrifice of the supernatural instance.
Miao Weiwei felt some sympathy for her plight; she hid on the second floor where no one came looking for trouble, not because others were kind-hearted, but because actively harming her brought no benefit.
If she had not followed Xu Lingyi's advice and insisted on staying in her residence on the first floor, the fate of this woman now would be her own future.
Xu Lingyi:...
It wasn't quite that absolute; as a child with two Big Shot parents, Xu Lingyi had more at her disposal than Miao Weiwei imagined.
A general-difficulty supernatural instance could never hold Xu Lingyi; this child could casually pull out something and sweep through the entire supernatural instance.
If Miao Weiwei was reluctant to give up the room on the first floor and ultimately chose to stay,
Xu Lingyi would also help save Miao Weiwei's life, only their connection would end there; even if they met again one day, there would be no possibility of getting along.
Thinking along these lines, Miao Weiwei's obedience had won her an opportunity, allowing her to make acquaintances with someone possessing top-tier resources.
Even if there was no further contact afterward, she had still earned a favor in this instance.
Xu Lingyi raised her hand and patted Miao Weiwei's arm. "Tonight will be hard to endure."
On the seventh night, the perverted murderer would still appear to look for prey.
But those on the second and third floors had been killed cleanly by him; the remaining three were all on the first floor, and Miao Weiwei, staying on the second floor, would be in great danger.
Miao Weiwei:...?
Looking at the stack of talisman paper handed to her, Miao Weiwei's eyes glazed over, and it was only when Xu Lingyi stuffed all the talisman paper into her bosom that she came to her senses.
"I, I don't need it."
Miao Weiwei knew this kind of talisman paper was sold exclusively by the Changping Guild, and each one was not cheap.
"Keep it, pay attention to safety."
Xu Lingyi stood with both hands on her hips, her expression much more serious than before. "I might not be able to look after you tonight."
Miao Weiwei:...
Hearing this, Miao Weiwei laughed out loud; no matter how much of a scoundrel she was, she couldn't let a child protect her. She forced herself to perk up, saying, "I have very good luck." It was just a small supernatural instance; she still had to tackle other instances in the future.
Time quickly came to night; the dagger Miao Weiwei pinched in her hand flashed.
To put it embarrassingly, after mixing around for a few months, the tools Miao Weiwei could afford were not that great.
Not only the talisman paper Xu Lingyi had given her, but even the dagger was borrowed from Xu Lingyi.
Long before dark, Xu Lingyi had left her room alone and vanished without a trace.
Miao Weiwei understood the gap between herself and Xu Lingyi, so although she was worried in her heart, she did not stop her, but focused on dealing with what would happen next.
Huff
Take a deep breath, keep your mindset
Miao Weiwei stared at the doorway without blinking; not blinking for a long time caused dry, sore eyes. When she really couldn't help it and rubbed her eyes, the smell of blood appeared on the tip of her nose once again.
They're here!
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, seeing the dead reappear, Miao Weiwei still had to admit she was timid.
Unlike the previous two days, tonight's corpse moved with much greater amplitude and could even emit several indistinct strange sounds.
Miao Weiwei held the dagger horizontally across her chest, gritting her teeth in tension, the blade pointed directly at the corpse slowly shuffling toward her, as if as long as the distance was sufficient, she would stab it out without hesitation.
At this moment, Xu Lingyi was in the corridor on the third floor; the third floor during the day and the third floor at night were two different worlds.
Several paintings in the corridor had disappeared, and without exception, the remaining ones had side-profile portraits turned into front-facing portraits; the pairs of eyes on the paintings all stared at Xu Lingyi in an evil manner.
Was Xu Lingyi the kind of child who would be afraid?
She walked forward openly and aboveboard, occasionally commenting on these paintings.
"Too ugly"
"The eyes are a bit small"
"The chin is too long"
"Why is it so pockmarked, disfigured?"
"..."
The little girl's sharp tongue pointed directly to the hidden essence; this perverted murderer had psychological problems and had once been disfigured by painting. Every time he killed, he not only liked to torture the victims but also took their faces as his own.
However many paintings hung in the corridor, that many victims existed.
Tap, tap
Xu Lingyi raised her hand and knocked the painting to the ground, giving absolutely no basic respect to the instance boss.
Red mist began to appear in the corridor, mixed with streaks of blood silk.
The paintings thrown onto the ground seemed to have grown legs and ran toward the rooms. In a short while, the tightly closed doors opened, and the originally dead people walked out slowly, impacting Xu Lingyi's senses with the images of how they had died.
If it were an ordinary person, at this moment they would have had their adrenaline spiking from fright and would have wanted to shout and run away.
Xu Lingyi's expression was normal, her heartbeat steady; her posture of completely not putting these things in her eyes very well ignited the anger belonging to the instance boss.
With a loud roar, the instance boss appeared out of thin air, wielding a bonereaving knife that kept dripping blood, and charged at Xu Lingyi like a madman.
The moment the bonereaving knife in his hand came down, a translucent thin film appeared before Xu Lingyi's eyes, directly blocking the knife's descent.
Seeing this, the instance boss's eyes instantly turned even bloodier; his attack was frustrated, and he wanted nothing more than to tear this person apart with his own hands.
Xu Lingyi observed the Bonereaving Knife slowly; don't be fooled by its tattered, terrifying appearance — it is a very useful supernatural item.
The Infinite World also sells supernatural items to the outside, but that requires spending a lot of points.
If one enters a supernatural instance, as long as one has the ability, one can white-loot them for free.
Xu Lingyi's eyes turned, and she thought: since I've come all this way, it would truly not be cost-effective to go back without bringing some specialty products.
She raised her hand, and the semi-transparent film before her suddenly vanished; the Bonereaving Knife, no longer obstructed, carried the boss straight down, while Xu Lingyi turned sideways and left, then took out a stack of talisman papers from her space and threw them crackling onto the boss.
Spirit Thunder Talismans and Spirit Fire Talismans shone together, and Xu Lingyi smelled the fragrance of roasted meat.
Tsk
The occasion seemed a bit inappropriate.
Xu Lingyi sniffed her nose, shook her head, and flung the exceptionally horrifying images out of her mind.
An instance boss is not so easily dealt with, but what Xu Lingyi lacks least is all kinds of supernatural items.
Just the talisman papers given by Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen could hack this instance boss to death seventy or eighty or ninety times.
It's not that Xu Lingyi is reluctant to use talisman papers; moreover, she has recently been learning talisman drawing.
Talisman papers were thrown whoosh-whoosh-whoosh onto the instance boss; whenever it resisted, Xu Lingyi would speed up and supplement the quantity of talisman papers.
Until finally this instance boss let out an unwilling roar and exploded in place.
Dead!
That's not quite right either; it was only temporarily dispersed, and would appear again later.
Xu Lingyi raised her hand and patted her palms, hopping and skipping into the Third Floor's rooms.
The people who originally died here disappeared after the instance boss was dispersed by Xu Lingyi, after all they had a superior-subordinate relationship.
However this only applies to the Third Floor; the Second Floor is another new scene entirely.
Miao Weiwei's expression trembled, continuously waving the dagger in her hand up and down, stabbing at the corpses walking toward her.
Her moves had no rhythm; to put it nicely it was impulsive, to put it bluntly it was completely without method.
Fortunately the talisman papers Xu Lingyi left for her were sufficient, and their power was enormous; whenever Miao Weiwei couldn't hold on, she would throw a talisman paper forward to detonate it, using it to delay the corpses' constantly moving steps.
Drip drip
Sweat drops slid down along her temples; Miao Weiwei's body trembled slightly, her heavy panting impossible to stop.
Huff puff
Miao Weiwei silently cheered herself on; no matter what, she had to hold on.
Time approached the clearance node little by little; she could not die here.
Miao Weiwei gritted her teeth and endured, while the three people living on the First Floor were also facing the instance boss's door-smashing harassment.
The instance boss also has the attribute of bullying the weak and fearing the strong; it couldn't beat the Third Floor's killing star, the Second Floor's people were easy to deal with, so the First Floor couldn't be treated any differently.
Holding the Bonereaving Knife, it banged bang bang on the door; because the First Floor was originally not as convenient as the Second and Third Floors, for a time it was very difficult to drag out the three people hiding inside.
Xu Lingyi was still searching on the Third Floor, looking left and right, not missing anything good.
The Bonereaving Knife in the instance boss's hand that she had previously taken a fancy to had already been taken down; as for the instance boss avatars on the Second Floor and even the First Floor, after she finished with the Third Floor, she definitely wouldn't miss them either.
The instance boss here is quite well-off, and can be recycled for reuse.
Xu Lingyi was like a mouse that fell into a rice vat, picking and choosing everywhere with great relish.
Although these things she might not necessarily be able to use, they are loot she obtained herself, and easily satisfy Xu Lingyi.
Miao Weiwei was currently confronting new corpses; four rooms on the Second Floor, four people dead.
As the time approached the clearance node, this also meant trouble increasing more and more.
Miao Weiwei smoothly dealt with three of them, and the remaining one also appeared in her room.
Talisman papers were used up jiu jiu ba ba; the dagger in her hand kept stabbing forward and withdrawing; her skin felt ice-cold to the touch, yet her expression appeared excited.
When the last corpse fell at the sound, Miao Weiwei exhaled rough breaths and laughed out loud.
Ha, no matter how you put it, I really did it; I successfully overcame the fear in my heart; next I just have to endure until clearance, and I can leave this instance that makes one tremble with fear.
Thump thump thump
Miao Weiwei turned her head; she no longer had strength, lying on the ground panting heavily.
Her gaze looked toward the doorway from which the sound came; Miao Weiwei noticed the dripping bloodstains and a knife with cold, stern light.
Miao Weiwei:...?!!!
Could it be that heaven wants to destroy her!
Her heart suddenly stopped for an instant; Miao Weiwei wanted to struggle to resist, but unfortunately she even had trouble dealing with ordinary corpses, let alone this being an instance boss.
Hope shattered; Miao Weiwei closed her eyes and waited for death, but unexpectedly that Bonereaving Knife did not fall for a long time; when she opened her eyes again, she saw Xu Lingyi hiding to one side observing her, while the instance boss had become a pile of scrap.
Miao Weiwei moved her mouth corners; Xu Lingyi stood up and gestured for her not to speak, "Clearance soon; if fate allows, see you again."
Infinite World, Territory Token Area
"How does it feel to clear the instance?"
Xu Lingyi opened her eyes and discovered her father and mother standing beside her.
Shen Yao raised an eyebrow; as a Big Shot who had conditions and could observe the whole process, she offered no criticism or suggestions on Xu Lingyi's behavior style, only letting this child remember the mood of this instance entry; next time there would be more frequent instance entries.
Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded, handing the specialty products she brought out from the instance to her father and mother one by one, "I understand the Territory Token's function a bit."
Unlike Shen Yao using the Territory Token to walk the few-but-elite Mutual Aid Society style, Xu Lingyi felt the raids could adopt human wave tactics.
Although ordinary people cannot compare to elites, ordinary people are numerous in quantity; piled together they are also a force difficult to ignore.
In this instance, only Miao Weiwei alone survived to clear it; all the others perished at the instance boss's hands.
Of course, if Xu Lingyi had not appeared, this instance would most likely have resulted in total annihilation.
The returned Xu Lingyi needed rest; Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen thoughtfully did not disturb her.
After waking from sleep and opening her eyes, Xu Lingyi found Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen chatting, and strongly requested that her instance entry frequency be appropriately increased.
Shen Yao had to reconfirm that Xu Lingyi was only six years old.
It was only because the Territory Token was special that Xu Lingyi could exploit a loophole to enter and exit Instances; in a normal Instance Hall, she simply could not get in.
Xu Lingyi's heart was too firm, and Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen expressed understanding.
In the following days, Xu Lingyi constantly entered various Instances to live through this kind of loophole-exploiting behavior.
The childishness on her disappeared, and the little person became increasingly mature.
She began to dislike speaking, and was no longer as lively and active as before; she was growing rapidly, constantly absorbing nutrients to strengthen her own Force.
Sometimes, Shen Yao could not help but discuss with Xu Ningchen about their only daughter, the two of them.
Clearly it was they who actively let Xu Lingyi enter Instances to come into contact with these things, yet now Xu Lingyi's reaction instead caused them, as parents, endless worry.
But what method could there be?
More and more worlds were falling, the Infinite World's expansion speed was getting faster and faster, and the Missions inside Instances were getting harder and harder.
They could not stop their footsteps, and could only integrate the Wedding Guests' power to resist danger.
Perhaps they could think of another method?
"Mother, it is very hard for an Ordinary Person to survive the first three Instances after entering the Infinite World."
Xu Lingyi's gaze was calm, as if she were saying something unimportant, "But these Ordinary People are also Clever ones who can clear the Newbie Mission."
Even more are directly stuck at the Newbie Mission, not even having the opportunity to enter the Infinite World.
At first Xu Lingyi did not know what purpose her father and mother had in sending her into Instances.
But as she entered more, some information could be heard even if concealed; moreover, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen had no intention of concealing it from her.
"Other Worlds fall, and the Infinite World helps them; but if the Infinite World falls, what can Other Worlds do?"
Behind the expansion is the Infinite World's Energy Crisis, and their situation becoming increasingly dangerous.
Just as Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen used their own methods to enter Instances and clear them, just as Xu Lingyi chose to walk another Route, their ultimate purpose was very simple: to survive.
"Do whatever you want to do, lest one day you regret the decisions you made."
Firmly walk down the Route you have chosen, regardless of what the final result ultimately is.
The Infinite World has no end; what they can do is constantly strengthen themselves, thereby accumulating enough Capability to face any risk.
This is a Road filled with the unknown; no one can predict the final result — perhaps only when the Mystery is unveiled that day will the truth come to light.
