Free Web NovelChapter 1090: Chapter 268: Code Words with Audrey (2)
Audrey saw Lin Rui take a step forward, hurriedly walked a few more steps to catch up, and asked, "Father, are you okay?"
Lin Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I’m fine, how about you?"
"Silver Moon just died~"
Lin Rui asked in surprise, "Silver Moon died? Can she be brought back again?"
"Let me try."
A moment later, the cold-faced Silver Moon stood silently holding a long knife beside them, with a look on her face warning strangers to stay away...
Lin Rui looked at her and asked, "Did you... encounter an attack just now?"
"No?" Silver Moon replied expressionlessly, her tone extremely concise, clearly not wanting to talk about it further.
Lin Rui, considerate of her young fragile nerves, did not ask further.
Audrey, however, laughed heartily with no reservations, laughing so hard she couldn’t stand straight: "Hahaha, do you feel more beautiful the more you look in the mirror, and then said that line!"
Silver Moon’s pale neck turned slightly red, stubbornly turned her head, and said coldly, "Nonsense! I didn’t!"
"..."
"Haha, you did, you’re so tsundere."
Lin Rui also understood what was going on, pulled Audrey back, and then said to Silver Moon, "Climb the steps and see what’s going on up there."
Silver Moon immediately felt relieved, looked at Lin Rui gratefully, already thinking how to repay him sincerely, then ascended the steps with her long knife, and touched the end of the steps.
"Lord, the path here is sealed, the top material is somewhat different from the surroundings, very cold, it seems something is covering it."
"See if you can cut it open." Lin Rui replied immediately.
With Lin Rui’s order, Silver Moon immediately drew the long knife and slashed at it fiercely, the knife light collided with the dome making a thumping sound.
Audrey’s eyes instantly widened: "Father, why does this scene feel a bit like Rule Five?"
"If knocking sounds come from the cemetery, do not inquire, it may be the ’resident’ knocking."
Lin Rui looked at the dome, thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you think what seals us is a coffin lid?"
Audrey immediately nodded, saying, "Probably so. Once we get out, we might find ourselves directly in a cemetery."
"Can it be opened?" Lin Rui asked Silver Moon.
Silver Moon immediately shook her head: "It seems impossible to get out, the seal is too strong, I simply can’t break through, more precisely, I can’t break at all, as if it’s sunk into the sea."
A blood meter’s absence is what’s truly invincible.
As long as there is a blood meter, no matter how thick, a large army attacking it can clear it sooner or later, but if there’s no blood meter at all, then even if your attack is extremely strong, you can’t inflict any damage at all.
Lin Rui turned and looked at Violet, saying, "You try?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Violet has the Sword of Justice, now surrounded by so many knights, if she can shatter this world with one sword, there might be a chance.
Violet has reached Tier Nine, with a basic Physique Value as high as 700 points, currently increased tenfold, her Attribute Value is more than 7000 points.
This is a number exceeding the world’s ultimate, with super strong physique and willpower boosting her Spiritual Reaction intensity straight through the roof!
The golden light saber gleamed mightily, swept down, slicing the entire ground and space open!
The mighty golden light pierced the edge of the sword, with the entire inside of the mine starting to crack, the space wall torn apart, the ground shaking within the mine.
Audrey immediately held Lin Rui’s arm, looking around, asking, "Lord, if we keep fighting like this, won’t the seal break first and we’ll end up buried by this collapsing mine?"
This situation is indeed hard to say, if Violet continues to bomb and blast like this, this mine might really collapse due to the world fragment.
Lin Rui was forced to raise his hand to stop Violet’s continued attack, saying, "Violet, pause for a bit, let’s sort out the information."
Violet also felt it necessary to organize, as the space wall inside the mine has been shattered, yet the seal remains completely unmoved, firmly fixed in place.
This reckless approach won’t work.
After coming down, Violet immediately said, "Lord, this seal is very strange."
Audrey looked at her and said: ’Everyone can tell this seal is strange. Do you have any special discoveries?’
Violet nodded, saying, "This inability to move the seal in itself is odd, given that the Sword of Justice could destroy the space wall of this forbidden zone. Yet even so, we couldn’t move the seal, isn’t this strange? Why treat a seal more importantly than a world?"
"As the saying goes, when the skin is gone, the hair cannot attach. Theoretically, isn’t it more important to maintain the world no matter what?"
"Hmm, makes sense." Audrey’s eyes brightened: "But this seal is stronger than the space wall itself, could some people consider this seal’s integrity more important than the world?"
Violet withdrew her sword, and continued saying: "But this seal doesn’t seem completely impossible to pass through, those creatures that mimicked us disappeared before. We followed in from outside the mine, yet never saw them at all. If they can’t transfer out of thin air, there is only one explanation that they passed through this seal."
Audrey immediately looked at Silver Moon and asked, "Did you see any traces when you went up the steps?"
"Huh?" Silver Moon paused, then shook her head, saying: "I didn’t notice."
Audrey scratched her head and said, "This one is tricky, seems like everything here leads to a dead end. Is this what they call a dead-end road? The way forward is blocked."
Lin Rui furrowed his brow slightly and said, "It might not be that simple, do you remember Rule Five?"
"If knocking sounds come from the cemetery, don’t inquire, it may be the ’resident’ knocking? What’s the issue with that?"
Lin Rui thought and asked: "Suppose we are the residents inside this cemetery knocking, if someone outside inquires, what would happen?"
Audrey replied without thinking: "A monster rushes out and kills us all?"
"..."
"..."
Seeing everyone looking at her with an exasperated face, Audrey scratched her head and asked: "What’s wrong? Didn’t I say it right?"
Lin Rui said: "If we’re the ones inside here, it’s impossible for a monster to rush out."
Violet said calmly: "So if you reasonably infer, the inquiry might lead to everyone inside dying?"
Audrey opened her eyes wide: "You mean this rule is deliberately misleading us?"
Violet shook her head: "Not clear yet, just a conjecture. Moreover, this conjecture assumes that outside indeed is that cemetery."
"Isn’t there someone who can go out and check?" Audrey immediately said.
Lin Rui thought she had a point, sometimes overthinking is useless, why not try it directly.
Lin Rui turned and looked at Velen, asking, "You know the way to the Haunted Forest, right?"
Velen was so surprised his beard trembled: "Are you insane? Just to verify a guess, you want to break into the Haunted Forest and run to the Haunted Forest’s graves to listen to the residents knocking?"
"Exactly." Lin Rui nodded, instructing Audrey: "Have your troops attack the seal with full force in five minutes. I’ve written down the rhythm on a note, follow the rhythm to attack."
After speaking, Lin Rui patted Audrey’s back, looked at her, and said: "Use your favorite method. Hurry."
Audrey looked at the blank note in her hand, looking at Lin Rui, expressing contemplation.
