I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2095 Success
learn from mistakes.

Chen Lin was prepared for this.

He kept his distance from everyone beforehand to avoid being caught in the ghost face's attack.

The rag doll girl was with him.

"impossible!"

Upon seeing the ghost face appear, Kuroba exclaimed in surprise.

According to historical records, such ghost boxes are extremely rare. Less than one in a hundred people who board the ferry of life will ever see one. Yet, this one appeared twice in just over a year.

What bad luck!
But it's too late to think about it.

He lacked the abilities of the rag doll girl, and all his defenses were ineffective; he could only watch helplessly as he was devoured.

The same goes for the young man in the scarlet robe.

It was instantly swallowed up by the ghost face, leaving nothing behind.

The ghost face did not attack anyone else. After devouring the two people, it dispersed on its own, and the blue light spot disappeared.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

He now doubts whether the blue dot is actually a treasure chest or not. It might just be a test, disguised as a treasure chest to increase the difficulty of fishing for the real one.

But there was no time for him to think it over.

As the waves crashed, the green light came within thirty feet. The doll-like girl sensed it, and a beam of light shone from between her brows onto the snow-white doll. The doll immediately shrieked and lunged forward.

No one competed with her for it.

There were only five people left on the boat. The woman in the black dress had no intention of fishing, and Kim Sam-won was terrified by the ghost face.

As for the demon men who came up later...

Before he could even understand what was happening, he witnessed the tragic deaths of Hei Yu and the other man, and his face turned pale as he retreated to the back.

The rag doll swayed twice.

He immediately grabbed Chen Lin's shoulder.

He said weakly, "Protect me for a moment, and I'll give you a secret technique. But according to the ship's rules, you have to trade with me to take it away. Give me one Life Coin first."

Chen Lin didn't ask any further questions and handed over a Life Coin to the other party.

He doesn't have enough Life Coins for the referral fee, but he has more than enough to pay the fine, so having one more or one less won't make much difference.

However, the puppet girl did not directly give Chen Lin the secret technique.

Her eyes were fixed on the snow-white doll on the sea surface, while a light kept flashing between her brows, as if a thin thread was connected to the snow-white doll.

The snow-white doll plunged into the sea.

This seems to have consumed a huge amount of energy.

The doll-like girl's aura weakened rapidly, as if she would die from exhaustion at any moment.

Seeing this, Chen Lin didn't press for more.

All his attention was focused on the red treasure chest, and he only glanced at the snow-white doll of the rag doll out of the corner of his eye.

"baby!"

A strange scream rang out.

Then the sea surface churned, and the snow-white doll flew out of the water, holding a green box about a foot square in its hands. It was pulled by a faint, indistinct thread and flew quickly back to the hat boat.

But the treasure chest seemed to be alive, constantly twisting and shaking, and continuously releasing black mist.

The snow-white doll almost slipped from Chen Lin's grasp several times, making him hold his breath in suspense. However, the fine thread emanating from the doll's brow was extremely resilient, and no matter how the treasure chest struggled, it couldn't break the thread.

They were eventually pulled onto the boat.

"Thank you very much!"

The rag doll girl revealed a victorious smile and pointed her slender finger at Chen Lin.

Then his body was enveloped in a ball of green light and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chen Lin felt a strange fluctuation enter from between his eyebrows, and then some information appeared in his mind.

But he didn't have time to check.

The convoy ship has now arrived and only needs to break through a wave to connect with the hat ship.

The red light spot extended to within twenty feet.

This was the distance he could fish from, and he couldn't miss the opportunity. Without hesitation, Chen Linhao immediately activated the Chains of Fate.

The Rainbow Sword transformed into a rainbow and shot towards its target.

No one tried to take it from him.

Although both Jin Sanyuan and the woman in the black dress sensed the treasure chest at that distance, the tragic deaths of Hei Yu and the others completely extinguished their fishing plans.

They were just waiting to board the ferry.

The rainbow sword flew precisely above the red dot of light.

Chen Lin was instantly energized.

He could clearly see the treasure chest, which was less than three feet underwater, and it seemed highly likely that it was bound by the chains of fate. The red treasure chest, on the other hand, was the lowest level and wouldn't struggle as much; he was fairly confident he could pull it back.

however.

Just as Chen Lin was full of confidence, several huge chains suddenly flew out from the bow of the ferry behind him, whistling across the water and landing on the edge of the hat boat.

Affected by the chains, the seawater quickly parted to both sides, and the red treasure chest moved about two feet.

It was just that two feet of difference that caused the Rainbow Sword to miss its target.

Chen Lin's face turned dark.

Such bad luck made him feel like he was experiencing a backlash of misfortune after using the Luck Enhancement Technique.

But he had no choice but to pull back the chains of fate.

Suddenly.

A strange energy appeared in his body for no apparent reason, frantically eroding every part of him—his physical body, soul, and consciousness; no part was spared.

Moreover, this erosion is not destruction.

It seems to be a form of possession.

Chen Linlin felt it was more like possession.

He himself was a time traveler, so he had a good understanding of the feeling of being possessed, and therefore he wouldn't be mistaken.

But no matter how clearly you sense it, it's useless. This energy is very strange, and no matter what method you use, you can't block it, let alone expel it.

There's no time to think about it.

Chen Lin quickly slapped the character card he was holding onto his body.

One thing brings down another thing.

The character card is like a giant hand, easily grabbing the abnormal energy from the body and collecting it all into the card.

Although I felt completely drained, I immediately averted the danger.

Chen Lin's expression was unpredictable.

The rules of this life's journey are truly baffling. If the intention is to involve people in life's missions, why create so many obstacles?

There were even signs of possession.

That's very illogical.

"Are they screening something?"

Chen Lin thought of a possibility.

But given the ferry owner's power, screening would be too easy; there's no need to go through all this trouble.

I thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out.

He could only calm himself down and look at the ferry that had arrived.

The large ship was two or three times taller than the hat-shaped ferry, and five jet-black chains were attached to the brim of the ferry from different positions.

There was no one on the boat.

Only some white pigeons were perched on the edge of the boat deck.

Seeing this, Chen Lin seemed to be deep in thought.

The hat boat they were on might not actually be a ferry for life, otherwise these carrier pigeons should have been on their boat.

After all, the homing pigeons at the entrance to the quill pen scene are perched on the edge of the hat boat.

There's another point that's very unreasonable.

According to conventional thinking, the ferry ship would not be larger than the 'main ship', and there should not even be a ferry ship.

The word "接引" (jiēyǐn) means to guide someone from a small place to a big place, or from a low-end to a high-end place.

"Hurrah!"

A pigeon flew by, interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts.

"Anyone want to board? Hurry up and sign up, you never know when you'll be able to come back next time."

The pigeon spoke human language.

"I regestrated!"

The woman in the black dress spoke first.

Then take out a money bag, take out the coins inside, stack them in piles of ten, and place them on the edge of the boat.

"very good."

As soon as the pigeon opened its beak, a black vortex appeared, swallowing all the Life Coins.

Then it spat out a round card.

"This is your identification card. You can board the ship now."

The woman in the black dress held the round plaque in her hand, ignored everyone, and leaped onto the chains, fearing that an accident might occur if she was even a moment too late.

The round plaque emitted light, forming a bridge of light on the chains, which slowly dissipated as the woman in the black dress moved forward.
