Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

Amidst the biting cold wind, accompanied by the question mark typed by KP, Baek Hee let out a joyful laugh.

But as he was laughing, he suddenly stopped laughing.

It was as if I had suddenly lost consciousness; all my movements slowly fell silent, and even my breathing seemed to come to an abrupt halt...

In that instant, all was silent.

Jiang Lingyi glanced back at Bai Xi. Even though her body was still shivering instinctively in the cold wind, she closed her eyes tightly and stopped all activities except for instinct.

A peculiar state.

This state lasted for nearly twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, Bai Xi finally exhaled his first breath and then slowly opened his eyes—at this moment, even his eyebrows were covered with a little snow.

"What were you doing just now?"

Seeing that Bai Xi had woken up, Jiang Lingyi immediately asked him.

"I've entered a dream. It's a little trick for entering dreams, I suppose."

Bai Xi shrugged slightly, answering Jiang Lingyi's question in this way.

After all, directly calling Serpes is, strictly speaking, a super game.

Super-games are like minor tricks. If you do a couple of things secretly that aren't too outrageous, the Keeper might turn a blind eye. But if you go too far, you'll have to be careful about getting retaliated against.

In short... we still need to maintain the most basic respect for the Keeper.

As for the final super-game maneuver at Mansfield Manor, that was simply Bai Xi getting carried away. Besides, the atmosphere was already there; not using super-games would have felt disrespectful to the instance.

This situation is unlikely to occur.

As for these little tricks for entering dreams, they fall into the category of underhanded tactics... Generally speaking, they are still within the range that can be tolerated.

"However, we can leave now. We've got the incantation."

Bai Xi spoke to Jiang Lingyi. Jiang Lingyi was slightly taken aback:

"So fast?"

"Of course it will be fast... She seems to be in a much better mood lately."

Bai Xi nodded and said, while flipping through his module records.

Just now, he entered a dream and sought out Seraphine, asking her for a spell. This time, there was no hesitation or anything like that. After Mansfield Manor, Bai Xi had become more open-minded about these matters, and his relationship with Seraphine had somewhat improved.

The main reason is that Bai Xi knows that such a wish usually won't cause any problems...

He'd stolen countless spells this way in the past. Such a clearly targeted wish usually doesn't cause any problems.

Therefore, Serpes generously gifted the character card 【Lawrence White】 the spell that Bai Xi desired: Candlelight Communication and its deeper spell version.

Candlelight Communication Technique

[Consuming 1 MP allows you to establish a Fire Source Node. When the other party uses Candle Communication, they can establish video communication with other established Fire Source Nodes.]

[The advanced version has been learned. The advanced version of Candle Communication does not require the other party to use it. The user can actively construct a one-way Candle Communication and connect it to any fire source.]

This spell is the perfect choice for stealing information, whether at home or traveling...

In short, as long as it works well, that's all that matters.

Jiang Lingyi nodded and quickly followed Bai Xi's steps: "Where to next?"

"A place with fire."

Bai Xi answered succinctly, glancing around before pointing to a beer hall in the distance:

"I think that place is nice. There should be a fireplace. That's a good fire source for candlelight communication."

"Going into a beer hall in the German winter... that sounds like a really hellish thing."

"Stop making baseless accusations. This is Berlin, not Munich. You won't encounter any legendary events involving the mustache here."

Bai Xi rolled her eyes. Jiang Lingyi shrugged and asked another question:

"Speaking of which, how exactly do you plan to use this spell?"

"Ah, this brings me to my speculation about this module..."

At this point, Bai Xi's expression became strange:

"Don't you think it's weird that ghouls would steal our money?"

"I can only think of one possibility... that inflation in the ditch has made it so that even ghouls can't afford bread, and the starving ghouls have no choice but to steal other people's money to fill their stomachs."

"Following this logic, the first thing Inui would do after getting the Mark would probably be to buy food, right?"

"There are only a few places to go... beer halls, bakeries. What they all have in common is that they are all lit up."

Bai Xi's tone was calm, and Jiang Lingyi nodded slightly after hearing Bai Xi's guess.

"That sounds pretty convincing. But what if we guess wrong?"

"If we guess wrong, we can try a different approach and try again. There's no harm in trying."

Bai Xi shrugged and, with a few words, walked to the entrance of the beer hall.

As soon as Bai Xi entered the beer hall, she felt a wave of warmth wash over her, and instantly felt completely relaxed.

Phew, that feels great! Finally, it's warm!

He looked toward the source of the warmth, and then he saw it. Unsurprisingly, it was the fireplace in the beer hall.

However, there seems to be a slight problem...

A large group of people were gathered around the fireplace.

Bai Xi was momentarily stunned as he watched the ragged homeless people crowding around the fireplace, constantly being pushed aside by the tall, well-dressed men.

What is this? The old Berlin cutoff line?

"You should have expected this, right? On days like these, most people would go to places like this to find a fire to keep warm."

Jiang Lingyi seemed to sigh helplessly, then turned to Bai Xi and asked:

"So, do you have any good ideas now?"

"Well……"

Bai Xi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then realized a problem.

It seems, it appears, I'm stuck...

The candlelight communication technique definitely requires being near a fire, but given the current situation, Bai Xi suspects that with her towering 55-point physique and 35-point willpower, she might be pushed out before even reaching the fireplace...

Even if you're sneaking around, you still have to figure out how to squeeze through this packed crowd first!

Finally, after a long period of contemplation, Bai Xi looked at Jiang Lingyi:

"Doraemon! Please help me!"

"..."

Jiang Lingyi looked at Bai Xi with a slightly speechless expression. After a long while, she looked away, let out a long sigh, and gave him an OK sign.

Then, accompanied by the clatter of dice, Bai Xi saw Jiang Lingyi's figure move incredibly nimbly through the gaps between people, almost without any hindrance, her slender figure reaching the fireplace and reaching out her hand towards it.

Then, it silently returned to Bai Xi's side.

He showed him a piece of firewood in his hand that was still flickering with flame.

"Here, this should do, right? I pulled it out of the fireplace while it was still hot."

Jiang Lingyi said calmly, while Bai Xi's eyes widened.

Coach, what kind of move is this?

Can I learn it?
