It's the kind you use to rub mud, but it's the kind that produces foaming shampoo. It seems to be female, and I couldn't even check whether it was male or female."

"Ah, it's no problem to give it a bath, but I hope it won't bite me. Although it looks cute, it's a bit fierce."

"Probably not..."

Lucas helped the crying monster who was lying on the sofa up, and let Emily try to come over and touch it twice. The crying monster moved its big ears, looked at Emily, and obediently let her stroke it twice.

"Look, it's okay. Try to pick it up. If it doesn't struggle, it's okay."

"hey-hey"

Emily picked up the crying monster as she wished. Seeing that it did not resist, she smiled and carried it towards the bathroom in the room.

……

A few days later, Emily asked for leave from school and planned to go to the "Misty Realm" space that belonged to Lucas with him.

She was an honors student with A+ grades in all her courses, had an excellent reputation, and was also a popular pop idol star. She had legitimate reasons for asking for leave, so it was easy for her to get permission for leave.

Claire felt upset and helpless about this.

She was not worried about Emily being taken advantage of. Even under her supervision, the two of them actually had countless opportunities to cheat, and her daughter was definitely the active one. And Emily was still a virgin, which showed that Lucas treated his daughter sincerely and did not want to hurt her.

So I feel very relieved about Lucas.

What made her sad was that she might have to cook for herself or find a place to eat for two weeks at most... She had eaten at Lucas's place three times a day, and after getting used to it, she was no longer used to cooking for herself or eating out...

Moreover, Emily and Lucas had been in a world of their own, and she felt like she was abandoned and couldn't accept it emotionally.

On the day they left, she watched them drive away with their backs filled with luggage.

But what she didn't see was that after Lucas's Emily's car entered her blind spot, it did not drive along the town's road, but went around the back of a low mountain, into a cave under the cliff at the foot of the mountain, and then returned to the garage under Lucas' villa through the secret door and along the passage.

"Wow, when did you build this secret passage? There's a bunker underneath, right?"

Emily was surprised when she got out of the car.

At this time, the crying monster whom she named "Spirit Fox" ran over from upstairs and she bent down and held it in her arms.

"After building this villa"

The two ignored the luggage in the trunk of the car. Emily carried a backpack with a few sets of clothes in it, reopened the secret door of the garage, and took the simple elevator down.

In the elevator, Lucas explained to Emily:

"I have a bit of a doomsday complex, or what I call 'paranoia', which may be related to my experience, so I built this escape route for safe evacuation in case of an emergency. There is indeed a bunker underneath, which stores some daily necessities, weapons and equipment, as well as daily equipment."

"cool--"

Emily's reaction was quite consistent with her age. "But why did you bring me down here? Isn't the entrance to your secret base in the Kwede Forest?"

"Of course not. God knows where the space entrance there leads to now... Shit... Sorry, if it weren't for the last incident, Merry and I would have thought that the passage there was unchanged."

0021

Emily didn't feel it when she was riding in the car, but now when she was walking, she felt that the light in the entire underground cave was relatively dim.

There are some lamps on the wall that look like emergency lighting, emitting red light.

The pedestrian passage and vehicle passage are two dedicated routes. The elevator goes down to the bottom, and when you come out, there is a spiral staircase of about ten floors. Following the red light, you can see a lot of supplies covered with canvas piled on the open space below.

Emily was curious about how Lucas would get to the "Misty Realm" space he mentioned, so she asked:

"Is there an entrance to the foggy realm down here?"

"No, come on, give me a hand, these are empty boxes, just move them away."

Coming down the stairs, Emily thought she would have to walk a little further, but Lucas turned around and walked down the brick and stone stairs, asking her to help move the empty boxes that seemed to be randomly piled there.

A circular area with a radius of about 1 meter was revealed below.

"Put this on it, Spirit Fox, help it put it on. Without this thing, it won't be recognized by the teleportation array."

Lucas took out a velvet bag from somewhere, took out a necklace and a ring from it and handed them to her.

"Teleportation array?" Emily asked curiously, placing the fox spirit on her shoulder and taking it in her hand.

"You girls may not know this, but these are similar to the settings in fantasy novels. There are two identical and connected magic circles. People standing on them can cross the space and go directly to the other side of the magic circle."

"Oh, I see. It's the stuff those nerds talk about all the time, the dungeons and dragon slaying points."

Emily tried the ring, but it was obviously impossible for the crying monster to wear it. Its little paws were too thin for the ring, and its short legs were too thick. She observed the pendant under the dim red light, saw the buckle of the pendant chain clearly, chose a suitable length, and put it around its neck like a collar.

Then he put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand. Both the ring and the pendant were inlaid with an unknown gemstone, like

It was obsidian with solidified glaze, and she couldn't tell the difference with her eyes.

Thinking of the special meaning of the ring, she took it off and put it on her ring finger. She smiled and looked at her left hand over and over, and even stretched out her left hand to show Lucas.

Lucas knew what she meant and smiled as well.

After checking the status of her and Yingyingguai's transmission beacons, he casually took out a ring and put it on, then uncovered something like an electrical box on the wall, entered the password on the control panel inside, and after a beep, pushed the switch to the "On" position.

After the switch was turned on, a circular light with intricate patterns lit up on the ground. The light rose from the pattern in an instant, like a tangible object, spreading from the ground to cover the outlines of the two people and the beast. Emily looked at all this in amazement, and suddenly felt that her brain had established some kind of connection with the ring on her hand.

My eyes blurred and I seemed to see countless stretched light and electricity special effects, like the lights outside the car windows when driving at night.

When they came to their senses, they saw a bright light around them. They squinted their eyes and looked carefully, and found that they had appeared in a very empty stone hall.

There was also a circular platform under his feet, but compared to the circular area with a diameter of only two meters under the previous stairs, this platform was much larger, and the patterns on the surface made of milky white material were not hidden under the ground. These patterns were faintly emitting a light that was quite conspicuous even under the light intensity in this hall. Some particularly bright spots of light seemed to be spreading in all directions along some pipes.

"Here we are"

As Lucas spoke, he turned around and untied the necklace on Yingying Monster's neck, and took off the rings on Emily's and his own hands, and put them into the velvet bag. He pulled the rope at the mouth of the bag, turned his hand over, and put them somewhere unknown.

Emily walked down from the platform holding the crying monster. Next to her was a terrace with a half-person-high stone railing. The railing was wide enough for people to sit on.

Light shines in from high above the head. This stone hall seems to be located at the bottom of a very deep cenote. Looking up from the bottom, the irregular circular pit mouth is at least two or three hundred meters away. Some structures under tiled roofs can be seen along the way. There seem to be quite a few buildings like this hall surrounding the rock wall.

Below is a sparkling water surface. The bottom diameter of this tiankeng is about two hundred meters. It may be noon outside at this time. Although the sun cannot be seen, the light goes straight up and down. The light in the entire tiankeng is very bright. Some aquatic plants that should be water lilies can be seen on the water surface below. They have huge round green leaves floating on the water, and glowing buds like lanterns.

The soft light reflects the emerald green color, and from time to time you can see fish shadows nearly one meter long swimming quickly underwater.

Opposite is a large but uneven rock wall with green moss growing near the water, while upwards the mountain is mainly grayish white with mixed colors.

“Wow, this place is so beautiful.”

Emily exclaimed.

"It's okay. Let's go upstairs and put our things down at the residence first. Then I'll take you around here."

Lucas called out, and Emily trotted over, put the "嘤嘤怪" on the ground, and held Lucas' arm.

The Yingying monster hummed twice, but didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

The interior of the hall and its passages do not look like naturally formed caves. The ceiling and walls are neat and tidy, as if they were carved out of the originally integrated mountain. The marble rocks on the ground are not raw stones, but polished tiles with a mirror effect.

Guardrails, supporting columns, and various wall corners are either square hollow patterns or cloud patterns, tiger patterns, and dragon patterns with strong cultural symbols. It is estimated that no one would mistake these styles except for a cosmic superpower that attributed everything to itself but was invented by a mysterious country.

It looks like a mysterious country at first glance.

The lighting inside the passage was also bright, not as dim as the previous shelter under Lucas Villa.

Either the square lamps that are integrated with the ceiling, or the four-cornered lantern-shaped lamps installed on the top of the corridor columns, all emit bright light.

The atmosphere is completely different.

There is actually an elevator at the end of the corridor, and it is a high-end elevator. It is not an industrial elevator with buttons and manually opened and closed fence guardrails, but a fully enclosed elevator with a shiny stainless steel shell that is commonly seen in high-rise buildings.

"Uh, Lucas, isn't this supposed to be some kind of desolate or wild strange space? You mentioned before that this is a plain jungle terrain, so why does it look so much like a carefully constructed resort facility?"

As the elevator went up, Emily couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, so she hugged his arm and looked up and asked.

"It was like this before, but after I eliminated the magical creatures that originally occupied this place, I completely controlled this strange space. Before returning to the real world with Merry and Hope, I transformed this place according to my own... well, taste."

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and two people and one beast walked out and entered the middle area of ​​the tiankeng building.

Compared to the place below, this place is more like a high-end resort hotel. The floor of the corridor is covered with carpets, and the walls and ceiling are decorated with decorative materials. You can see that the terrace in front is also equipped with windows and glass.

“But I lived alone before.

There are no other rooms, you have to live with me."

“This is good news.”

Emily (^-^)V, biting her lower lip as she handed Lucas some autumn spinach.

Lucas smiled, took Emily a few steps forward, and pressed a button on a screen on the wall. A wall in front of the two of them opened silently, revealing the entrance to the room behind.

The inside was not as spacious as Emily had imagined. It was just an ordinary home environment, but it was bright and clean, and did not look like it had been uninhabited for a long time.

After putting the things on the sofa in the living room, Emily and Yingying Monster started to look around.

It was a small bedroom, only about 10 square meters. The bookcases were filled with books. There were many things in the room that she had never seen or recognized, including some very delicate toy models - in another world these things were called action figures and game consoles.

An equally small bathroom, just big enough for a bathtub and toilet.

The kitchen is not big enough to be used for cooking, and the dining table also takes up a corner of the living room.

A studio, similar to the one in the basement of Lucas' villa in the real world, also not very big. It was filled with a large number of tools and some equipment Emily didn't recognize, such as 3D printers, and a robot about the size of a human, which was half completed. But even though Emily didn't know what Neon Genesis Evangelion was and had never read the Human Bible, she felt that the robot was very delicately made and looked very impressive and handsome.

In the display cabinets of the studio, there are some toy models made of metal and other materials, including tanks, airplanes, and dolls of shapes that Emily does not recognize.

Emily couldn't figure out the meaning and purpose of the last room. Inside there was a huge screen similar to a movie screen and an operating table covered with buttons and joysticks. When she and the Yingying monster pushed the door in, Lucas was sitting in front of the operating table, muttering swear words under his breath and operating something.

The image on the large screen turned out to be her and the Yingying monster, but both the man and the beast were marked with red outlines, and a string of words with a border was flashing on the screen. Emily only recognized the first word: warning, and the rest were in Chinese, which she did not recognize.

"Warning: The base is being invaded"

"Do you want to activate the defense mechanism and eliminate the intruder: Yes/No"

"Warning: The base is being invaded"

"Do you want to activate the defense mechanism and eliminate the intruder: Yes/No"

This is why Lucas hates this place. Apart from himself, this cenote will treat any creature that enters it as an invader and eliminate it, even mosquitoes.

The characteristic of this small plane is that any creature that dies here has a high chance of having its soul captured by this plane, and then becomes a puppet governed by the laws of this small plane.

They have a certain degree of autonomous consciousness, but they cannot violate the rules of this small plane, and they can never transcend it. When they die, they will be summoned by the rules of the small plane or resurrected as NPCs. In this process, every time the soul's self is summoned or resurrected, it will be annihilated a little, and finally it will become an AI like a program code, a walking corpse-like existence, with only instincts and the logic of the small plane, and the self will completely disappear.

However, after more than a year of transformation, Lucas has finally found a way to deal with it. He just needs to open the firewall software on the big screen and drag the avatars of Emily and Yingying Monster into the trusted whitelist, so that the "intrusion alarm" will no longer be triggered.

Otherwise, if no operation is performed for a period of time, the tiankeng building will perform the "anti-virus operation" by default, directly consuming soul fragments or hero souls, and summoning the top soldiers or heroes of the hell forces/undead forces/natural forces to eliminate the invading objects.

After more than a year of transformation, the terrain here has also undergone a drastic change, from the original plain forest to the current mountain cluster. The original pie-shaped area of ​​about 30 kilometers has now become a mountain structure of about seven or eight kilometers composed of dozens of conical peaks.

Moreover, most of the surface area has turned into hard rock, and only a small amount of grass and trees can grow. It looks like a barren land and is dotted with huge rock spikes, forming a natural barrier.

This practice is because there are also a wide variety of flying monsters living in the fog of the outside world. By transforming the shape into its current appearance and further reducing the number of natural creatures originally living in this small space, it is possible to effectively resist the invasion of these flying monsters or avoid becoming their habitat.

However, no one knew how long the three forces that originally existed here had been attacking each other. Anyway, when Lucas came here, there was not even a rabbit in the wild. All they were were various monsters simulated and summoned by the laws of the small plane. If his mobile phone had not mutated when he traveled through time, allowing him to obtain gold coins by killing the monsters here, and then use the gold coins to buy various supplies through a mutated T-treasure mall in his mobile phone, he might have already become a puppet controlled by the laws of the small plane.

Yes, you read that right. It was his mobile phone that mutated when he traveled through time, not him. Later, when he lured monsters, put the blame on others, and made the final move, he gradually eliminated the three magical forces and came into contact with the core stone in their base. Lucas also had to use his mobile phone to control and operate it.

When Merry and Hope broke in here, he was just in the process of integrating the three core stones and bringing this small plane under his control. The mother and daughter did not catch up with the three-way melee here, so they had the opportunity to survive and meet Lucas.

For well-known reasons, Lucas can read raw resources in English and the language of District 11. With the language environment, after a few days of contact with Merry and Hope, he can communicate with each other basically without any obstacles.

Although he controlled three magical forces at that time, there were still many wild monsters in the wild generated according to the laws of the small plane. He did not have any special abilities and relied entirely on the various props provided by T Bao Heavy Industry. Lucas established a deep friendship and trust with Merry and Hope by killing these wild monsters.

Afterwards, the mobile phone, the core stone and the small plane were further integrated. He gained a lot of knowledge of mysticism through the mobile phone, made the goggles that could directly observe the entrance to the space, and left here.

Before leaving, this small plane slowly became what it is today according to the plan he designed.

During this period, Lucas also used the knowledge of mysticism he had acquired to build a teleportation array that could directly enter this small dimension.

However, apart from growing vegetables and raising some cattle, sheep and aquatic products, he has no plans to live here.

The focus of development is instead placed outside...or in the real world.

Although this real world is not his, it is a parallel universe.

……

After resolving the crisis for Emily and the crying monster, Lucas stood up from his seat and took the phone out of the interface holder on the desktop.

In her world, Emily had only seen CRT monitors, and super large screens had only been seen on movie screens. This was the first time she had seen a large LCD monitor like the one at Lucas's.

She didn't know what Lucas was doing, she just saw the red borders of herself and "Spirit Fox" on the big screen disappear and turn into green borders. After flashing a few times, the borders disappeared and the picture changed to a combination of many different shots spliced ​​together.
