Chapter 3, a palace

Ren Xiaosu slept, outside the wilderness guarded for so long before catching a sparrow, although most of the time are lying on the ground and not moving, but people who know the line know that this lying on the ground and not moving must always be vigilant to be the most consuming energy.

Before he slept, he explained to Yan Liu Yuan: “See those people must hide far away, the realm of the mountain is dangerous, they will not be unaware of, the general public will choose to avoid the realm of the mountain to go, they prefer to go through there, intuition tells me that this is not simple.”

“Uhm,” Yan Liu Yuan nodded her head obediently, “Got it.”

In fact, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan were a very strange combination, a few years ago they did not know each other, then Ren Xiaosu decided to shelter the still young Yan Liuyuan, on the one hand, because he inadvertently learned about Yan Liuyuan’s secret, on the other hand, it was also because of his headache disease this matter has been bothering him for a very long time, so he needs a night watchman.

At first, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan made it very clear that they were using each other, but over the years, they couldn’t tell whether it was love or use.

Yan Liu Yuan has always been very smart outside, but only here in Ren Xiaosu will be like an obedient good boy.

Sometimes Yan Liuyuan will say, his life is Ren Xiaosu with his own life in exchange, but Ren Xiaosu never recognize this kind of statement.

Ren Xiaosu is now going to explore what has happened in his brain. Tonight, he deliberately waited for a long time to see if the “disease” that used to plague him would still appear, but as a result, the chaos really didn’t appear.

It was as if the palace had been hidden in his own chaotic mind, and now the black mist of chaos had finally dissipated.

Ren Xiaosu wanted to see what was in this palace.

Yan Liuyuan glanced at Ren Xiaosu lying next to him, quietly picked up the bone knife and sat at the door of the shack, which only had a thick curtain hanging down, and now that it was autumn, it was a bit cold.

Just at this moment, the rain stopped.

Outside the door curtain of the shack came the sound of footsteps, boots on the muddy road after the rain has a unique slippery feeling.

The door curtain was lifted up by a corner, yet before the person outside could fully lift it up, Yan Liuyuan’s bone knife was already against the other person’s neck.

It was a beautiful face, and outside the door was a beautiful woman.

Yan Liu Yuan frowned, the visitor was not a stranger, the other party lived not far away on weekdays.

The woman laughed, “Six Yuan is still awake ah, where is Xiao Su, I heard someone say that Xiao Su is back.”

“Sister Xiaoyu, he’s already asleep,” Yan Liuyuan laughed, “Why don’t you tell me what you have to say.”

Xiao Yu blushed a little unnaturally, “He didn’t get hurt this time out, did he?”

“The tiger’s mouth was pecked by a sparrow, but sister Xiaoyu you don’t need to be so attached to my brother, you can be eight years older than him,” at this time after Ren Xiaosu went to sleep, Yan Liuyuan faced outsiders with a mature temperament that didn’t match his age, no matter whether he encountered an acquaintance or not, no matter what the other party said, but the bone knife in his hand never left Xiaoyu’s neck. .

Xiaoyu pulled out a cigarette and lighter from the bag she was carrying, the cigarette was rolled cigarettes, this kind of thing is only issued by coal mines, power plants, such as the industries that are categorized as refuge barriers.

Many strong laborers went to work not only for money and food, but also for this one cigarette, a day’s work, issued a cigarette.

So when they got off work at night, it was common to see a large group of people gulping down smoke together, and Ren Xiaosu had told Yan Liuyuan that those tobaccos were likely to be mixed with something much more addictive.

And the cigarettes that Xiaoyu was smoking now were obviously not from her work.

Xiao Yu lit up her cigarette and took two puffs, seemingly thinking about something: “Man child, I am treating you guys like brothers.”

“Oh,” Yan Liu Yuan suddenly asked, “Did you catch a cold?”

Xiao Yu froze for a moment, “Yes, is my voice a bit hoarse?”

“No,” Yan Liu Yuan shook his head and laughed, “I was looking at one of your nostrils that doesn’t smoke when you smoke ……”

Xiao Yu: “……”

For some reason Xiao Yu always felt that Yan Liu Yuan didn’t like herself very much.

“Then I’ll go back first,” Xiao Yu said, “When your brother wakes up you tell him that I came by.”

“Well,” Yan Liuyuan said with a smile, “I’ll give him the word.”

Xiao Yu left, Ren Xiaosu’s voice suddenly sounded behind Yan Liu Yuan, “In the future, don’t keep bullying your Sister Xiao Yu, she’s not easy either.”

“Brother, she’s not clean,” Yan Liu Yuan said, “And she’s only close to you because she sees that you always come back with prey.”

“Who’s clean?” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “Those who want to live in this world can’t be clean, they are all forced by life, just refuse to stay away, don’t tease her.”

In this market town, a single woman is too clean to live.

Ren Xiaosu thought about it and said, “People didn’t say they like me or anything, and also, are you sure she is approaching me because I can hunt? Wasn’t it because of my good looks?”

“Brother, everyone’s face hasn’t been washed for a few months, and basically looks pretty much the same ……,” Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu breathlessly, “Brother, aren’t you sleeping, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Thinking about something,” Ren Xiaosu explained simply.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t sleep because he was exploring the secrets of that palace.

The walls of that circular palace were lined with old wooden cabinets, like a huge showroom. Only, the display shelves in the showroom were all shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see what was actually inside.

There was only one table in the center of the hall, and on the table was a brass typewriter that had been eliminated long before the Calamity. The kind that clacked as it typed.

There were only twenty-four brass keys on this typewriter, and each of them was engraved with a single text, “Public, Positive, Sincere, Truthful, Friendly, Good, Wealthy, Strong ……”

It can be said to be very positive.

Only the typewriter seems to be stuffed with inexhaustible kraft paper, and no one needs to strike those copper keys, it will click and move by itself, and now there are two lines of small words that appeared in the afternoon on top: “Task, gift the prey to the next person; task completion, reward basic level skill learning map, can learn the ability of others.”

He couldn’t tell if this was something he had fantasized, or something else; legend had it that some people were able to shape memory palaces, and inside them, they were even able to recast a fantasy universe based on the ability level of their own spiritual will.

Only Ren Xiaosu felt that this palace of his own …… seems to be a little different from the description of the memory palace ah ……

But why would you let yourself give your prey to someone else, this typewriter wants you to be a good person?

Being a good guy in a world where bringing up morality is a bit of a luxury?

Not even a door.

At that time, his consciousness stood in the center of the vast palace and looked around at the “display cabinets”, there seemed to be items floating in the display cabinets, but the inside was covered by darkness, and the fog of darkness made it impossible for Ren Xiaosu to see what exactly was floating inside.

This display cabinet connected to the dome of the palace, like a huge museum, Ren Xiaosu walked to the front of one cabinet and wanted to reach out to touch the things floating in the black fog, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the resisting power of the black fog.

It was a power he couldn’t peer into right now.

Wanting to know if the palace really existed, it required Ren Xiaosu to prove it with his actions.
