Chapter 1722 In the Deadly Game 9
The homeowner didn't dare try it easily, but the last newcomer came up with another idea. He picked up Xiao Shi and was about to kill her in 1985. "If I kill Xiao Shi now, even the homeowner won't show up. Naturally, there will be no tragedy of being killed for holding an egg in the mouth!"
This guy had been silent the whole time, but unexpectedly, he made a big move in the end. Jiang Xinxin pulled Xiao Shi and the guy back.
Because the other person's eggs were not broken, the homeowner could not kill him and could only look at him sinisterly.
However, after this incident, the landlord finally agreed to Jiang Xinxin's proposal, and everyone went to the fourth floor together.
After the homeowner passed the seventh floor, he indeed lost his immortality. Everyone went back to 2010, the day the accident happened. Ruan Lanzhu was quick to stop the gangsters, and Jiang Xinxin also quickly pulled the adult Xiao Shi out of the gangsters' attack range. In the end, the adult Xiao Shi was rescued.
The homeowner disappeared with young Xiao Shi, and the key was in the fairy tale book that the homeowner gave to Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin looked at the key and handed the brass key to Ling Jiushi, "Yu Lingling, go open the door."
Ling Jiushi didn't want to take advantage of Jiang Xinxin, "Miss Jiang, you have the key, so you can only be the first to open the door."
Jiang Xinxin stuffed the key directly into her hand and said, "Don't be polite with me. If you have a clue, won't you share it with me?"
"Besides, I can see that you are quite extraordinary. Perhaps only if you hold the key and open the door can we maximize our benefits."
After hearing this, Tan Zaozao also agreed with Ling Jiushi to open the door, and Ruan Lanzhu also looked at Ling Jiushi encouragingly. As for the man who almost killed Xiao Shi just now, everyone unanimously ignored his opinion.
In the end, with everyone's encouragement, Ling Jiushi was the first to open the door. The moment Ling Jiushi opened the door, the thick fog in the whole world began to dissipate. After everyone left, the homeowner came to the first floor and lived happily with the old lady, who was his mother.
Jiang Xinxin walked out of the door and returned to the same office. She didn't know that Ling Jiushi had already agreed to let Ruan Lanzhu join the Obsidian Guild. She explained to everyone that it was roughly certain that Ling Jiushi was the key to sealing the door.
The director was also very worried. After the country discovered that some people had died in seemingly normal ways, he set up a special task force to deal with these deaths. Unexpectedly, it involved a game that was originally only popular in the United States. What's more, he didn't expect that this "game" seemed to have opened up a different space and could also involve reality!
It's not like no one has tried to gain entry to the gate by persuading or fulfilling the gate god's wishes or obsessions, but all of them failed without exception. But now that Ling Jiushi has joined, the world of the gate has really changed.
So all the information about Ling Jiushi was laid out in front of everyone, and his old friend also appeared in everyone's sight, not to mention that Ling Jiushi's old friend happened to be making games in the Ugly Country.
The director asked Jiang Xinxin for her opinion on Ling Jiushi's whereabouts.
Jiang Xinxin, on the other hand, felt that there was no need to include Ling Jiushi. "I think that guy named Ruan Lanzhu deserves more attention. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person, and he's even more special than Ling Jiushi."
Of course, the director knew Ruan Lanzhu's background and admitted that Ruan Lanzhu was indeed more special than Ling Jiushi, so he only asked Jiang Xinxin to keep a close eye on the two of them.
Jiang Xinxin almost remembered that she seemed to have been to this world before, but at that time she had not yet reached the level of cultivation, so she stayed inside the door to transcend the resentment and hostility of the world trapped in the door, allowing the dead who were bound by the door to be reborn.
She felt that she had done nothing wrong, but she did not expect that after so long, she would return to this world and be banned from all cultivation, leaving only the martial arts that could barely protect herself.
On the other side, Ling Jiushi, who had joined Obsidian, contacted Jiang Xinxin directly and invited her to join Obsidian as well.
Jiang Xinxin thought about it and didn't refuse outright. She just gave her address. Ruan Lanzhu then suggested that they go with Ling Jiushi to pick up the person.
Jiang Xinxin said that the address given to Ling Jiushi was not the dormitory assigned by the Abnormal Investigation Department, but a high-end apartment that she bought with her own money, and Obsidian's residence was in a luxurious villa in the suburbs.
Jiang Xinxin looked up at the modern yet beautiful villa and said with a smile, "Ruan Lanzhu, I didn't expect you to be so wealthy. You could afford such a luxurious and magnificent villa."
Ruan Lanzhu also laughed: "Is Miss Jiang's luxurious apartment of several hundred square meters much worse than my place?"
"Your area is not accessible to ordinary people."
For a large flat in the city center, you also need to consider the surrounding neighbors.
Without further ado, Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi introduced all the current members of Obsidian to Jiang Xinxin and extended the invitation again.
Jiang Xinxin flatly refused: "I've already joined the official team, so coming here now can also represent the official attitude. Our guild hopes that I can cooperate sincerely with you two, Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi."
To show her sincerity, Jiang Xinxin revealed a few details to Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi: "The authorities have always hoped to close the so-called 'world of doors,' but for some reason, the origins of the world of doors have always been unclear. Officials have tried various methods, but they've never been able to close those doors."
Ruan Lanzhu understood Jiang Xinxin's meaning best. Thinking that Ling Jiushi had been exposed to the official's eyes, he became wary of Jiang Xinxin, who had an official background.
Ling Jiushi was quite happy. "It's best if the government takes action. No wonder we at Obsidian can't recruit top talent like Miss Jiang."
Sensing the change in Ruan Lanzhu's attitude towards her, Jiang Xinxin sighed inwardly and advised, "We are a true democracy, committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of all citizens. Ruan Lanzhu, you need a clear identity. Perhaps this will be very beneficial to your future."
Ling Jiushi felt that something was wrong with these words. He looked at Jiang Xinxin with a little doubt, then at Ruan Lanzhu, and felt that the moods and expressions of both of them were a bit solemn.
Ruan Lanzhu was now somewhat interested in the underlying meaning of Jiang Xinxinhua's words and asked, "What does this mean?"
Jiang Xinxin explained, "Supernatural phenomena do exist in the real world, and the world of the door is like a space specially opened up for those fleeting supernatural phenomena, allowing their stories to be played out again and again."
"Behind every door is a tragedy, almost all of which are true stories that happened to real people. To put it in less materialistic terms, doors connect the worlds of the living and the dead."
Ruan Lanzhu was born because of Ling Jiushi. The bond between the two of them is very deep. Jiang Xinxin didn't want them to experience too much tragedy, so she pointed a way for Ruan Lanzhu.
Ruan Lanzhu roughly understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, but the matter was of great importance, so he could not agree immediately and needed time to consider it. Jiang Xinxin expressed her understanding.
So Ling Jiushi invited Jiang Xinxin to go to the door of the Obsidian members together - the story of Sister Drum.
