Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

When Lin Sui'an and Lydia arrived at the basement, the iron gate was already open.

The orange cat crouched in front of the door, its front paws resting on the groove, motionless, its eyes unfocused.

Lin Sui'an glanced into the depths of the supermarket and saw only this one iron door, without a second circular recess.

The only door, the only access.

The orange cat's ears twitched.

Lin Sui'an bent down, put both hands under the orange cat's belly, and lifted it up completely.

Shen.

It's really heavy.

Lydia paused, startled. "Lin? What's wrong?"

"Send it back." Lin Sui'an held the orange cat's bottom with one hand and its chest with the other. The orange cat's four legs were dangling in mid-air, and its tail was drooping. "The control time of the Book of True Names is uncertain. If it wakes up here, we will be exposed."

Lydia glanced at the orange cat's unfocused eyes: "Yes, I'll do it, I'm fast."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

Lydia took it, picked up the orange cat, and ran upstairs.

----

Lin Sui'an stood at the iron gate: "None of you went in?"

"I'm waiting for you." Lina glanced into the room. "I wouldn't dare to barge in."

Lin Sui'an walked to the door, listened for a few seconds, and found it unusually quiet inside: "You guys wait here for me, I'll go in and take a look first."

"Okay, good luck, An Shen!"

"Okay, Sui'an, please be careful."

"We'll stay here; call us anytime you need us."

Lin Sui'an carefully pushed open the door and went inside. It was still pitch black. He turned on his flashlight and saw cat beds, cat trees, and other cat supplies on both sides. He paused. Could this heavily guarded place be the cat's home?!

Ah...

Lin Sui'an didn't believe it and continued searching. After walking a few steps, she found another door. However, this door had no groove or lock. She went forward and pushed it open.

What catches the eye are cylindrical containers embedded in the three walls, with metal shells and a diameter of about half a meter, arranged neatly from the ground to the ceiling.

Lin Sui'an leaned closer to look at a container. Colorful halos swirled at the bottom of the container, like miniature vortexes, with colors overlapping and changing. The colors in each container were different.

What is this? I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem dangerous.

"Come with me." Lin Sui'an turned around and led the people outside the door in.

"Wow!" Li Yu exclaimed softly.

Lydia scanned the wall and counted the glowing containers: "Less than half are glowing."

There were countless cylindrical containers, at least a hundred at a glance. Less than half of them were glowing; the rest were all a dull metallic gray with no halo around the bottom, just dark holes.

"What are these?" Lydia approached a glowing container, but before touching it, she looked closely at the halo at the bottom.

Lin Sui'an shone her flashlight on the container's outer shell; there were words on the metal panel that she didn't recognize.

"Does anyone recognize this?"

Lydia leaned over for a look, then shook her head.

Sergei looked at it too, and frowned: "It's not Russian, and it's not English either."

Li Yu stood on tiptoe for a long time, but couldn't see it at all.

Lina leaned closer to the container, stared at the words on the outer shell for three seconds, and her expression changed.

"This is... Australia."

Lin Sui'an turned to look at her.

Lina's finger hovered above the container, not daring to touch it: "I recognize the writing on this. It means 'Kangaroo Country,' the name of the country."

Upon hearing this, Lin Sui'an's gaze swept across the room, revealing a series of familiar faces: "Each bucket represents a country."

After saying that, she broke away from the group, raised her flashlight, and quickly searched along the walls on both sides.

"Go find the bucket that represents your own country."

The four people dispersed.

Li Yu ran the fastest. Because she was short, she could only see the bottom row. She swept her flashlight along the wall, ran past seven or eight containers, and then suddenly stopped.

"Take care! I'm here! Dragon Kingdom!"

Lin Sui'an ran over, and in the middle of the bottom row, there was a container with two characters engraved on its outer shell: Dragon Script, Dragon Kingdom.

A halo of light swirled at the bottom, its colors being red and gold.

"Don't worry, the Dragon Kingdom is glowing." Li Yu squatted down, her little face reflecting the red and gold light.

Lina quickly found the container from the Southern Kingdom as well. It was in a corner, with a very weak halo at the bottom and only a light blue color.

Lydia found the Bear Country, in the middle of the second row, bathed in a bright halo of light, with three layers of overlapping colors.

Sergei stood silently in front of a container bearing the mark of the White Kingdom, its aura at the bottom only slightly stronger than that of the Southern Kingdom.

The five people each found a container representing their country and stood in different positions along the corridor.

Sergei spoke up: "Found it, and then what?"

Lydia turned her head as well.

Lina stared at the fading light at the bottom of the container in the Southern Kingdom, her fingers clenched in the seam of her pants.

"An Shen, what does this mean?" Li Yu looked up.

Lin Sui'an squatted in front of the container of the Dragon Kingdom. Her flashlight was off, and the red and gold light shone on her face. Her eyes were fixed on the rotating halo, and she did not speak.

A few seconds later, she stood up.

"Little Fish, let's go to the supermarket."

Li Yu was taken aback.

"Just bring back something, anything to eat, and be back quickly."

"Okay!" Li Yu turned around and ran outside.

Lin Sui'an raised his hand and touched his right ear.

----

Dragon Kingdom Strategic Command Center.

Jiang Lai stared at Lin Sui'an's movements on the screen, her hand resting on the table.

"She touched her ear."

The communications technician immediately turned around: "Chief of Staff?"

"Connect Lin Sui'an immediately."

The signal connection took less than two seconds.

Lin Sui'an's voice came through the communicator, speaking quickly: "Sister, immediately arrange for someone to wait at the place where we usually receive the material manifestations in the game. I need to do a test."

Jiang Lai didn't ask why: "How many people?"

"Let's start with one. Bring your communication device, and call me when we arrive."

Jiang Lai raised her hand, making a gesture with three fingers toward the communications team, her index finger pointing toward the door.

The technician understood immediately, pushed aside his chair, and ran outside.

Chen Zheng, who was quickly taking notes, looked up and asked, "Chief of Staff, what did she discover?"

Jiang Lai's gaze returned to the screen, where Lin Sui'an was squatting in front of a glowing container, the red and gold light shining on her face.

"I don't know, we'll wait for the results."

----

Li Yu ran very fast and returned in less than a minute, carrying a bundle of noodles in his arms.

"Here you go, soothe your nerves!"

Lin Sui'an took the noodles and weighed them in his hand.

The container of the Dragon Kingdom was right in front of me, with a red and gold halo rotating at its bottom.

A voice came through the communicator: "Chief of Staff, the personnel are in position, and there are no anomalies in the supply delivery area."

Jiang Lai's voice followed closely: "An'an, we've arrived over there."

Lin Sui'an held the bowl of noodles, glanced at the swirling halo at the bottom of the container, and looked up to exchange glances with the four people.

"Sister, I'm going to throw a handful of noodles in."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication.

Jiang Lai's voice was steady: "Throw it."

Lin Sui'an held the handful of dried noodles in his palm and extended it over the bucket.

Li Yu's eyes widened.

Lina's breathing quickened, and Lydia and Sergei watched nervously.

Lin Sui'an let go, and the noodles fell into the halo of light from the container.

The red-gold vortex swallowed the noodles, the halo rippled, its color flashing from red-gold to white, before returning to its original color.

The communicator was silent.

The five people stared at the container, and no one uttered a sound.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

Eight seconds.

A voice suddenly came through the communicator. It wasn't Jiang Lai, but a person from the material manifestation area. Their voice was hoarse.

"It's materialized! A ton of noodles! Right here in the teleportation area! It appeared out of thin air!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Sui'an's lips curled upwards, and her eyes curved into crescent moons. "Hehe, I've found the game's inventory!"

She turned her head and looked at the supermarket behind her, which was piled high with rice, flour, cooking oil, fresh vegetables, pork, and beef.

Then look back at the container in front of you that says "Dragon Kingdom".

"elder sister."

Jiang Lai's voice came through the communicator, her breathing unsteady: "I'm here."

"Could you please call a few more people over?"

Lin Sui'an turned his head and winked at Li Yu.

"Moving goods."
