My Crystal Palace

Chen Cheng pointed at his nose and asked, "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, are you still calling the guy next to you who is soloing in the secret realm?" Li Jian's tone was very impolite, and it was obvious that he was a very irritable guy.

Chen Cheng quickly ran to Li Jian and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Take out the crisis timer on you and let me see it." Li Jian pointed at his chest and said, "It's the one inside your armor. The crisis hasn't broken out yet, and I need to know the time."

Chen Cheng frantically checked the timer and said, "Two more hours. The crisis will come in two hours."

Li Jian leaped up and immediately said after landing, "I've looked around. Everything is normal within a 20-kilometer radius. We'll split up now. We'll meet here in an hour and a half. Don't run too far. It would be great if we could find some useful information."

Liu Haoyun frowned and said, "Are these four people going to act separately from us as well?"

"Of course." Li Jian sneered, "If any of you don't come back in an hour and a half, I'll kill these four bastards. Let's go now!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chapter 22

Ghost Apartment

Liu Haoyun looked around and then chose the north. He could feel an extremely dangerous aura in the north. In order not to expose his strength later, he decided to eliminate the danger first.

The other people also separated. Liu Haoyun did not notice that a prisoner had followed him. His target had always been the north.

Along the way, he saw many ordinary people living their normal lives. They seemed completely unaware that the sky had changed color and a terrible disaster was about to happen.

This also made Liu Haoyun very curious. Why did it turn out like this? Logically speaking, two major disasters have occurred here, and it is impossible for the people here to have no reaction at all.

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice came from behind him.

"Boy."

Liu Haoyun turned around and saw a prisoner standing behind him. He pointed at his neck and said, "Help me get it off, and I will give you countless benefits."

Liu Haoyun's face was as cold as ice. He asked, "What can you give me? What does a death row inmate have?"

"What if it's your life?"

Liu Haoyun snorted, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "I hope you can do it, if you have the ability."

Seeing that Liu Haoyun showed no fear at all, the other party couldn't help but murmur inwardly, "I have a huge sum of money overseas, three billion US dollars. As long as you can let me out, all the money will be yours."

Liu Haoyun frowned and asked, "I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like an idiot? If I let you go and you don't give it to me, what can I do? I'll even be charged with aiding a prisoner to escape."

"You..." The prisoner gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, saying, "If that's the case, then there's no point in talking. If I can't survive, neither can you. I must take someone with me before I die."

Liu Haoyun remained expressionless and said, "Then you'd better hurry up. I feel like I'm running out of time. I don't have time to waste with you."

"Don't worry, I will do it quickly and ensure you a painless death." The prisoner disappeared in an instant.

Liu Haoyun frowned, closed his eyes and said, "Invisibility? It's indeed difficult to deal with. This ability is perfect for a killer. No wonder you went astray, but..."

He grabbed the prisoner's right hand, the cold dagger only a centimeter away from his eyes.

"How is that possible? My stealth ability is B-level, I will definitely not be discovered." The prisoner released his right hand, and the dagger fell. He immediately used his left hand to catch it and stabbed it towards Liu Haoyun's heart.

The next second, a hand stretched out from in front of Liu Haoyun. The little bug crushed the poisoned dagger, pierced the prisoner's chest with one claw, took out the heart and ate it.

The little bug came out and hugged Liu Haoyun tightly, saying, "Ah... protein, give me protein, I want protein, I want lots and lots of protein, give it to me quickly, give it to me..." She used her bug tail to attack Liu Haoyun's waistband.

"Hey, you little bug, go back quickly. I don't have time to mess around with you." He forcibly took the little bug back and sighed, "This guy is too troublesome."

The little bug complained and rolled around in his space.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll stay with you after this mission is over. How about it?" Liu Haoyun was also a little helpless. These women were getting more and more crazy.

Hearing this, the little bug gradually calmed down, but its complaints did not decrease at all.

Liu Haoyun continued to move north, and soon he came to the place where he sensed danger, a residential building. In Liu Haoyun's eyes, the place was filled with black air, like hell.

He took a deep breath and strode in. Although he had no means to deal with enemies like evil spirits for the time being, Liu Haoyun knew that he could not escape and salvation lay there.

But just as he walked over, he suddenly took a step back.

With a bang, something fell and shattered in front of him. He looked up and saw that the residential building was still dark and there was no light. Moreover, based on the shape of the object when it fell to the ground and broke into pieces, Liu Haoyun concluded that it was not thrown out from the residential building.

He squatted on the ground and lowered his head to examine the broken statue. It was a statue of Guanyin. Although it was broken, there was no black energy.

"Is it the gods who are warning me not to go in?" Liu Haoyun stood up, frowning, and looked at the residential building in front of him with hostility.

In the end, he went in, just to find a way to deal with the evil spirit.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Haoyun saw an altar by the door. The god sitting on the altar was a Bodhisattva statue, with his right hand in the fearlessness seal and his left hand in the wish seal. The whole body was snow-white and the material was unknown, but the lotus seat below was blood red and made of flesh and blood.

The offerings to the gods were also very terrifying. A peeled goat head was placed in the middle, tangled bloody hair was placed on the left, and black, twisting insects were placed on the right.

It seems evil no matter how you look at it.

Suddenly, the light flickered, and Liu Haoyun turned to look at the old lady standing three meters away. She was holding a lantern in her hand, which emitted a faint green light. It was the only light source in the corridor.

"Do you need a place to stay?" The old lady's voice was extremely cold, not like the sound coming from a human throat, and there was an indescribable hoarseness.

For some reason, Liu Haoyun suddenly had an idea - this was a dead person speaking.

However, since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. He responded in Japanese: "Accommodation."

"Please follow me." The old lady turned and walked inside. Her legs did not bend and her steps were stiff. She looked like a zombie, eerie and scary.

Liu Haoyun followed the old lady closely, looked at her hunched body and asked, "How much is it per night?"

"Four thousand four hundred and forty-four yen."

Liu Haoyun said in a straight voice: "I don't have any money." He spoke with confidence, as if someone owed him money.

"You can owe it for now. It's okay. It's late at night, and it would be dangerous if you wander around." The old lady took Liu Haoyun to register. She stretched out her dry right hand and handed Liu Haoyun the record book and a pen, "Write your name."

Liu Haoyun took the register, scribbled a name, and returned it to the old lady, saying, "I might stay for two more days."

The old lady took the address book and said, "It's okay, this is your room, go there by yourself." She took out a key and handed it to Liu Haoyun.

After taking the key, he went to room 404 on the fourth floor and stood at the door without entering. From the beginning, Liu Haoyun had always felt that there was a terrifying threat staring at him. When he arrived at the door, the threat became even stronger.

Not only his body became stronger, but also his senses, including his intuition.

Compared with his current ability to predict danger, spider sense and his intuition are nothing compared to it, so Liu Haoyun did not open the door directly.

He turned and walked to the door of Room 405, knocked gently and said, "Hello, is anyone there?"

Chapter 28: Subduing Miss Snow Girl

The door opened, and Liu Haoyun saw a sexy, silver-haired beauty in a blue coat and white sweater opening the door a crack. "Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door?"

Liu Haoyun frowned and said, "Ms. Xue No?"

Miss Snow Girl looked at Liu Haoyun in confusion and asked, "How do you know my name?"

"Please don't mind this little thing, I..."

"It's a small matter?" Xue No said with a vigilant look on her face: "In the middle of the night, a strange man knocked on a young girl's door and knew my name. This is a small matter? Are you a peeping Tom?"

A girl? No way, I remember that in the setting, the Snow Woman was a widow, so why would she be a girl here? Perhaps it has something to do with the strangeness of this city.

Liu Haoyun coughed awkwardly twice and said, "I'm about to die. I wonder if the kind-hearted Miss Xue Nai can help me and save my life?"

Xue No looked at the key in his hand, then looked at the door next to him, and said, "You are a human being, you should not come here.

Chapter 23

Take it away quickly, you can still leave before the red moon comes."

"You really won't let me come in and sit down?" Liu Haoyun narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had already planned to use force, and breaking into the room was very easy for him.

"Come in." Xue No made a gesture of invitation. Liu Haoyun entered the room, took off his shoes and placed them at the entrance.

Yukino locked the door and led him into the living room. The room was simple and clean, with a cream puff on the table. She walked into the kitchen and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

Liu Haoyun looked at the candlelight on the table and asked, "Ms. Xue Nai, why don't you turn on the light? Is it because there's no electricity?"

"No, we can't turn on the lights at night, otherwise it will attract scary monsters." Xue Nai came over with two cups of tea, placed one in front of Liu Haoyun, and asked, "How do you know my name?"

His eyes rolled and he already had a plan in mind.

"Of course I know your name." Liu Haoyun crossed his legs and said, "Because I am your husband, your lover, and your master."

The Snow Girl's face turned cold, the temperature around her dropped instantly, and the hot tea in her hand began to freeze.

"If you say that again, I will kill you. No, I will drive you out and let you suffer terror and death." The Snow Girl snorted coldly and said, "You wrote a fake name, right? Idiot."

"Is there any problem?" Liu Haoyun picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. He already had a general understanding and a plan in his mind.

"Of course, anyone who takes refuge in this residential building must give their real name and offer it to the great god, or they will be punished." Yukino took a sip from her teacup and continued, "You won't survive more than three hours. Finish this cup of tea and leave."

"I won't leave. I told you I'm here to find you. You're my wife, my slave girl." Liu Haoyun continued to brag shamelessly. "I know you don't believe me, but I can prove it to you."

"I'll give you one last chance. If you can't convince me, I'll kill you." She snorted coldly, "How could I be your wife? I'm still, you bastard."

"You gave up your names, seemingly gaining protection, but in reality, with each reincarnation, you lose a piece of your past." Liu Haoyun sat up straight, pointed at her, and said, "You've already lost a lot. If you continue like this, you'll become a child, and eventually return to your most primitive state."

Xue Noi opened her mouth in shock, looking at Liu Haoyun in bewilderment and disbelief.

"I know you think I'm lying, but haven't you ever thought about it? Why do I know your name, why did I come to save you, why can you get asylum? What is the price?" Liu Haoyun continued to coax her.

Yukino lowered her head, looking at the tea in her cup, and said bewilderedly, "Actually, I have some feelings too. The calendar doesn't match, and there's something wrong with the room layout. But why should I believe you?"

Liu Haoyun smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and said: "Follow your heart and pursue your inner thoughts and feelings. If you think I am not, then I am not, Xueno. I can't control your life, I can only let you choose for yourself."

"Perhaps you don't remember our passionate love, the little things that happened between us, or the love between you and me. But I believe that you will choose me, just like before."

Yukino lowered her head again, her heart in great conflict.

Liu Haoyun continued, "I need your strength. I can't kill those damn evil spirits, or even hurt them. But you can help me. As long as you are willing to submit to me and give me your strength, I will lead you to fight and destroy all enemies. Come with me, Xueno, and submit to me again."

The sense of crisis has not arrived yet, so Liu Haoyun doesn't mind chatting with her for a while. If the sense of crisis comes again, he will definitely not waste time talking.

Yukino was still hesitating.

Liu Haoyun stood up and said, "Since you don't believe me, forget it, Xue Nai, I wish you good luck. Without your strength, I can't do anything, so I have to leave. Goodbye, no, it should be goodbye forever."

When he walked past Xue No, he was grabbed by the girl's cold hand. She looked up and asked in confusion, "How can I surrender to you? I want to believe you. If you lie to me, everything between us will be resolved in the next reincarnation. Then I will kill you."

Liu Haoyun smiled and said, "It's very simple. You just need to trust me and be willing to recognize me as your master."

"Okay." Xueno closed her eyes and kept persuading herself to believe that Liu Haoyun was his master.

Liu Haoyun admired the pair of big thunders and subdued the Snow Girl. He gained the power of ice and the power to deal with supernatural beings.

He let Xue No out and said with a smile: "This time you finally believed me, thank you Xue No, I will definitely take you out, believe me."

Xue Nai still looked at Liu Haoyun with a wary expression and said, "I don't trust you yet, please don't get so close. Have you come to see me before?"

Liu Haoyun nodded and said, "You already have the answer in your heart, right? I know your name, where you live, and I know you have a big mole on your chest. Isn't that enough?"

"You..." Xue Noi puffed her lips in anger, but she knew Liu Haoyun was right. "Okay, I'll believe you for now, but don't let me find out you're lying to me, or I'll definitely kill you."

Chapter 29: Apologize, Old Immortal

"Don't be so stubborn. I can read your mind now." Liu Haoyun pinched her cheek and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely get you away safely."

All the sense of crisis around him disappeared in an instant, and now there was nothing that could threaten him.

In the corner of the wall, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened, and Liu Haoyun immediately turned his head to look at those eyes.

Xue No looked at the eye in horror and said, "It's coming! Run! It's still not too late, otherwise..."

"Mind control?" Liu Haoyun pointed at his head. His hair had completely stood up. "A lot of strange things are appearing in my brain. Terrifying images."

"It's a weird statue. It's actually pregnant, headless, and female. It's quite interesting. I feel like my head is starting to hurt a little. It's really interesting. The more I look at it, the more terrifying it becomes."

Xue Nai reached out and grabbed Liu Haoyun's clothes and said, "Don't even think about it, or you'll die. The more you think about that scene, the deeper you'll sink into it."

"It's a bit late now." Liu Haoyun pointed at his head and smiled. "I can already feel it. That thought is like a seed, taking root and sprouting in my mind."

He smashed his head with a punch, and blood mist filled the air. Under Yukino's shocked gaze, his neck moved twice, and his head grew back in just three seconds.

"It's recovered, and the seed has disappeared." Liu Haoyun held her slender, soft, cold jade hand and smiled, "I said I would protect you and leave here. How could such a small danger hurt me?"

He pushed Xue No's hand away and walked towards the eye in the girl's shocked gaze. The other person disappeared immediately. Liu Haoyun did not directly destroy the wall.

Yukino stood up and said, "How amazing! I once saw a terrifying evil spirit that didn't write down its real name and was eventually tortured to death. It's terrifying that a human like you can withstand such horrific damage."

"Evil spirit? A spiritual enemy?" Liu Haoyun raised his right hand, and Xue Noi's ice appeared in his hand. "I wonder if you can handle it."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about that."
