Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..........................................

Who is speaking?

Is it haunted?

Lin Zhiying looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound, and a faint chill ran through her.

Chu Zihang noticed his odd behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Did you discover something?"

"Did you hear anything?"

Lin Zhiying cautiously asked.

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"We haven't heard any sounds other than Deadpool yet."

Can't Chu Zihang hear me?

Strange, does that mean only I can hear that voice?

Or is it a hallucination?

The next moment, as if to prove its existence, the voice rang in Lin Zhiying's ears again.

However, this time the tone of voice sounded somewhat familiar to him:

"It's me, Your Majesty! You foolish servant, are you frightened by me?"

Xia Mi?

This time, her tone was genuine, which Lin Zhiying easily recognized.

"How was it? Weren't you happy to hear Her Majesty's voice?"

Xia Mi dropped her disguise, and her sweet voice gently rang in his ear.

It was as if a kitten was gently scratching his ear with its furry paws.

"When did you get on the bus? And you were practically invisible!"

Lin Zhiying looked at the back row, which was completely empty.

The most reasonable explanation he could think of was that Xia Mi had secretly followed him into the car.

"Shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"..."

"Who told you I was in the car? How am I supposed to explain this to you? Don't you know what telepathy is?"

Although he didn't see her, upon hearing those words, Lin Zhiying could naturally imagine Xia Mi's eyes twitching and her rolling them up in a beautiful gesture.

"I know that."

Lin Zhiying replied.

"That has nothing to do with this."

Xia Mi playfully stuck out the tip of her tongue.

"The reason you can hear my voice is naturally thanks to the influence of the [Dragon Contract]."

Dragon Contract has this kind of function?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to Xia Mi installing a surveillance camera on herself?

She can see both her own inner thoughts and the senses around her.

Damn it, can't you give me some freedom?

What a vicious boss, bombarding you with messages anytime, anywhere, right?

To verify his guess, Lin Zhiying thought of all sorts of random things and observed Xia Mi's reaction.

"Have you entered the Nibelungen again?"

Xia Mi asked in a lighthearted tone.

"call."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiying breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that the surveillance effect of the [Dragon Contract] is not as powerful as I had imagined.

She cannot always access her own perceptions and inner thoughts.

Chu Zihang's vehicle continued its journey on the road, having just run over another group of Dead Servants.

The only thing that Lin Zhiying found somewhat regrettable was that the Deadpools who were run over by cars couldn't gain experience points.

There was no time for him to get out of the car to pick up the fallen items.

"Not yet, we're still in the Otherworld, but there have been a lot more Dead Servants around us."

Lin Zhiying briefly described the surrounding situation to him.

"Then you should now be at the intersection of 'Odin,' 'Nibelungen,' and the Otherworld."

Xia Mi's tone became unusually serious as she analyzed the situation for Lin Zhiying.

Can the underworld be corrupted?

Lin Zhiying asked.

Regarding what exactly the Inner World is, Xuanyu Company has never given a clear explanation, only saying "Please explore it yourself, players."

However, it is definitely not as simple as just a new design.

Both Xia Mi and "Odin" can use it for teleportation, and now he has received news that "Odin" is invading the inner world.

As the counterpart to the surface world, the inner world itself is full of eeriness.

"Of course, that's a true 'land of the dead,' and all the 'Nibelungen' buildings are modeled after it."

Xia Mi said it as a matter of course.

"You are now very close to entering Nibelungen, the gateway to Odin. All you need to do is find the key to open the door and enter."

"A 'key'? What's that?"

"Those are rules unique to each 'Neporon,' but I don't know exactly what the rules are for 'Odin's' 'Neporon.'"

As Xia Mi spoke, a strange "creaking" sound came from her.

Are you eating something?

Lin Zhiying asked.

"No, ... crunch..."

Xia Mi spoke very quickly, as if she had something in her mouth.

"Perhaps it's the need for something, or perhaps it's the need to perform a certain action; it all depends on the preferences of the creator."

"It might require you to bang your heads against the wall, who knows? Why don't you give it a try?"

When she said those last words, she was clearly mocking him.

However, what Xia Mi said before should all be correct. So what should be the "key" to enter "Nibelungen"?

As Lin Zhiying was pondering, he suddenly noticed blood dripping down the window beside him, leaving dark red streaks.

Strange, there's no Deadpool around.

He pressed his face close to the window and saw a drop of water fall onto the window right in front of him.

A dense drizzle slowly began to fall from the sky.

Is it raining outside?

Chu Zihang noticed this as well, and he gently turned on the car's windshield wipers.

He remained silent, but for some reason, Lin Zhiying noticed a hint of excitement on his face.

Does it rain in the sky of the Otherworld?

Since Xia Mi is right here, as a "local," Lin Zhiying thought to himself, "Why not ask her if I'm not going to be a fool?"

"Rain? Impossible. How could it rain on that cursed land?"

Xia Mi immediately gave a negative answer.

Her words seemed to have triggered a switch, and in an instant, the raindrops outside became so dense that one could not see anything at all.

"No, there's... a... possibility... you..."

Xia Mi's voice came urgently, intermittently, and was finally cut off.

"Where is this?"

Lin Chih-ying saw outside through the windshield wipers.

Only then did he realize that the city's skyscrapers had vanished.

Instead, there is a winding, rugged road that leads to who-knows-where.

Not far away, waving willow branches obscured the road sign.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the branches and revealing the entrance number to him.

"Where God is."

Chu Zihang, gripping the steering wheel tightly, spoke.

Lin Zhiying's gaze was fixed on the notice board in front of her:

Elevated road entrance number "000"! Elevated road entrance number zero!

This is the Nibelungen that belongs to Odin, and now they have entered.

I went out to eat and got back late, so I'm writing this a little late.
