My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 217 Folded Space

"You leave this room and follow the guidance of the fortune doll to go to the room at the end of the opposite corridor to find the lucky doll."

"You stepped on the debris on the ground and came to the corridor on the other side. It was still a mess, with bloodstains and bloody handprints everywhere."

"You were about to go into the house to explore, but you heard a banging sound coming from the corner, as if someone was hitting something."

"After a while, a round ball rolled over from the corner. The ball was stained with blood and gave off a pungent smell of blood."

"At the same time, a childish voice came, asking if you could send the bloody ball in."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you rather give it the ball? Or would you rather let it get it from there?"

Seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was quite old-fashioned, a story about kicking a ball and seeing ghosts. He had seen countless versions of it.

want to?

Come out and get it yourself!!

"Pick up the ball on the ground and let the person in the room come out to get it. If it doesn't come out, you squeeze the ball and burst it."

"After a long while, there was still no movement in the room. You were about to go in to take a look, but suddenly you felt something cold in your hand. You looked down and found that the ordinary ball had turned into a child's head!!!"

"You were startled and subconsciously activated the Heavenly Thunder Technique. Two lightning symbols flashed across your palms, and bright silver-white lightning burst out, instantly turning the child's head into ash."

"When you looked again, the child's head had disappeared, leaving only an ordinary blood-stained leather ball."

"You got the bloody ball."

"Bloodstained ball (common item), a ball that carries the ghost child's resentment. It is stained with the ghost child's blood. It has the property of slightly soothing other ghosts, and can trigger a critical strike effect on young evil spirits."

There’s also an unexpected bonus!

After reading the text introduction of the game, Jiang Xinghuo stuffed the ball into the magic bag, hoping it might come in handy someday.

"Do you want to enter this room and explore?"

Two options popped up on the screen, yes or no, and Jiang Xinghuo directly chose the former.

"You feel that the lucky doll is in this room. You walk into this abandoned activity room. The structure of the room is no different from that of the corridor on the opposite side."

"You explored the house carefully and found some interesting gadgets."

"You got it, lucky doll."

"The lucky doll (excellent item), a derivative of the law of wealth, has the effect of promoting business and bringing good fortune. Placing it in the east direction of your home can subtly change your fortune."

"You have triggered the bond of the law of wealth."

"The bond of the Law of Wealth. When the two dolls [Attract Wealth] and [Profit] come together, the bond effect can be triggered, which can greatly improve one's own wealth and fortune. There is also a very small chance of obtaining the legendary Law of Wealth."

"But unfortunately, your luck is a little bit bad, and you didn't inherit the law of wealth."

Now that both dolls were in place, Jiang Xinghuo placed the lucky doll next to the fortune doll.

Just like the golden and silver door gods at the door, the two dolls form a special energy field that envelops the entire folk shop.

"Where are you going to go next? Are you going back to the first floor? Or are you going to the third floor?"

"You chose to go to the third floor."

"But when you reached the staircase, you discovered that there was no staircase leading to the third floor." "You suddenly remembered that this sanatorium only had two floors and there was no third floor at all!!"

No third floor?
Jiang Xinghuo was a little confused. The text gave the option of the third floor, but then told him that there was no third floor. Could it be another illusion space?
Just like the tomb in Guandong City, although it is located within the Imperial Examination Hall, it cannot be seen under normal conditions.

"You took out the Yellow Springs Lantern."

"The dim light enveloped the dark corridor, and in front of you was still the cement wall, without any change."

The Yellow Spring Lantern doesn’t work?

Jiang Xinghuo triggered Tathagata's talent again, but there was still no change. There was still a wall where the stairs were.

There was no other way, Jiang Xinghuo could only control the game character and return to the lobby on the first floor.

"You're back in the lobby on the first floor."

"You looked at the wide floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of you, and a thought came to your mind. You had just carefully explored the first floor and found no trace of any underground secret room."

"Perhaps the entrance to the underground secret room is really hidden in this big mirror. Do you want to smash the mirror?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate, but chose to smash the mirror.

As things have developed to this point, he only has two options.

Either leave the sanatorium immediately and control the game character to return to Liuhe Martial Arts Hall, or choose to break the mirror to trigger subsequent plot tasks.

It is not difficult to choose what to do.

"You have already made up your mind to smash the mirror in front of you. You take off the steel gun behind you, tighten the mechanism, and a 10-foot-long gun appears in your hand."

"You used the [Bawang Spear Throwing Style] from the Liuhe Spear. The spear, which was made of solid steel and pig iron, left a crescent mark and smashed fiercely at the mirror in front of you with the force of wind and thunder."

"With a cracking sound, the mirror shattered, and a folded hidden space appeared before your eyes."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You discovered folded space."

"Folded space is also known as the world in the palm of your hand."

"Inherited from the ancient Zhu Sui Xing Jun, it can fold and compress the space in a fixed area and hide it in other objects."

“You look at the space behind the mirror and see two steps extending in two different directions.”

"Would you choose the stairs leading up or the stairs leading down?"

Jiang Xinghuo understood everything this time. The stairs leading to the upper level should lead to the third floor of the sanatorium.

The stairs leading to the lower level should lead to the underground secret room.

Which one should I choose?
Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a while and decided to explore the upper part first. After exploring all places, he would go to the underground secret room last.

Even if you die in an accident, you won’t have to worry about missing anything important.

"After you made up your mind, you stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor of the sanatorium without hesitation."

"You have come to the third floor of the sanatorium."

"There are only two wards on the third floor of the sanatorium, one on the left and one on the right, located at the end of the corridor. Which ward do you plan to explore first?"
