Chapter 5: House Keeper Part 2—Barrier Diht (proofread by Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)
Jiang Ziya did not coh the university’s library was rather well-known Not only did they have a large collection of books, the building was also fairly new, so every spot felt novel and co the students
However, he would usually head straight to Jiu Ge for his part-ti and cleaning, he would study as he manned the store Therefore, he had completely no affinity with the library
By this time, it was already past nine thirty The library seeroups However, when they passed by Jiang Ziya, they all shot a few glances at him
Jiang Ziya was carrying a large doll nearing seventy centimeters in his hands It looked incredibly real, like a s a shi+rt, a vest, and for no different from a butler
When he reached the highest floor of the building, Jiang Ziya intentionally waited until there were few people about before he sneaked to the door accessing the rooftop The door wasn’t locked, though he was uncertain whether it was arranged ahead of time
He pushed the door open and saw a flight of stairs leading upwards Due to the fact that it was very dark, he could only see the first few stairs and was unable to see the end of them
“Please place me on the floor”
Jiang Ziya received a large scare at that, then realized that the one speaking was the “House Keeper” in his hands He quickly followed his instructions
Within seconds, the doll of seventy centihty centimeters
Jiang Ziya felt that he would never get used to it, even if he were to see it a hundred times more
“Gēge, let him walk in front”
Jiang Ziya looked back, and Xiao Xue’s head popped out from the backpack behind hih his backpack was not sh to be able to stuff a child inside of it
“Understood” House Keeper nodded his head without any objections and took the lead as he ventured up the stairs
After walking up a few steps, Jiang Ziya felt that the way the darkness fell around theht, for he was still able to see his surroundings, or at least he could still clearly see House Keeper walking in front of him However, places about three steps away from him were completely shrouded in darkness, and he was even unable to tell how large this area was
Even though this place should obviously only be a staircase…
“Don’t step on it!” Jiang Ziya growled
House Keeper’s raised foot then paused in
Jiang Ziya quickly said, “shi+ft toward the side, and don’t step on that place A strange design flickered just now, so I think it’s probably best not to step on it”
When House Keeper followed his instructions, a picture suddenly eed from the place he was about to step onto It was red like the color of blood, and was in the o faces It then abruptly burst and becahts
However, that was not the end of it Many sins appeared on the way up, and then promptly exploded in one breath In that instant, a blood-colored road appeared
Xiao Xue gasped in shock, “Gēge is so awesome! You broke their entrance to the barrier dimension!”
I broke what? Jiang Ziya felt completely bewildered He did not knohat had happened in the slightest He had ood for them, he should reflexively call for thee
In conclusion, it’s a good thing, right? Jiang Ziya felt a little uncertain
“If we had become trapped in the barrier dimension that they had set up, ould have been unable to see the truth of the situation Since they had arranged tointentions for us to be deluded by the barrier dimension, and for us to then jump down from the rooftop on our own”
House Keeper explained patiently, “However, even if we had not broken through it, the effect of the barrier diinal Your eye can see through s If you were to practice well, barrier dimensions would be a joke to you That is what the mistress said”
Jiang Ziya decided that when he went back, he would cling to Yu Shu’s thighs and beg her to teach him how to make this “barrier dimension” a joke
Since he had Jiang Jiang and Xiao Xue at ho Ziya felt that he was desperately in need of “a joke”
What followed after went sely dark and beca after, the door accessing the rooftop appeared in front of them
House Keeper turned around and inquired in detail, “Are there any issues with this door?”
Jiang Ziya looked up and down the door several times, and then shook his head as he said, “Nope”
Xiao Xue coldly snorted as she said, “Looks like they are fairly clever They didn’t put the pathway to the barrier dimension on the door, which is the easiest to be checked, but instead placed it on the staircase”
Pathway? Jiang Ziya felt that this world was beco
“Are we opening the door now?” House Keeper gently said, “Please be very careful I am merely a low-level illusionary familiar and most likely would not be of much help”
Jiang Ziya felt extremely nervous, but he could only force himself to boldly say, “Open the door!”
He pushed, and the door let out a creaking sound, having rusted for several years without repair The sound was exceptionally ear-piercing in the silence of the night
A shadoled over quickly, like a giant reptile’s Upon closer inspection, Jiang Ziya then realized that it was a contorted hu in i at an exceptional pace and was half-rotten, showing a large patch of flesh and white bone
House Keeper stepped forward to block in front of Jiang Ziya, and the crawling corpse abruptly stopped It looked at House Keeper in uncertainty and dared not approach carelessly
Other than the crawling corpse, there was also a fe on her shoulder horizontally There was also a scarecroith a tornaround on its face
If one were to see these three in thescared to death was a possibility
As expected, it’s “those things” that appeared in the supermarket!
When Jiang Ziya had been trapped in the supermarket, he was so scared that he could only escape with Lin Zhixiang and even had to rely on Xiao Xue to lure thee to escape with his life However, at the s didn’t see anymore
They wereas House Keeper, just that House Keeper was much more handsome than they were!
Also, was it due to the fact that they had broken that barrier di Ziya felt that there were too s He could see that the crawling corpse’s rotten skin was a fabric texture There was even cotton wool co out of its eyes This is actually a broken burlap sack with cotton stuffing, isn’t it?
The scarecroas a real scarecrow, and the eyeballs were also real However, they did notthe eyes of a dead creature Jiang Ziya hoped that they weren’t human eyes
As for the female corpse, it was just a plastic model!
“Hehe, your guts sure have improved a lot”
A figure eed man who looked to be in his fifties He had no distinctive features and was the type that you wouldn’t remember even after you saw him
He coldly said, “Hand the artifact demon over”
Jiang Ziya suppressed his anger and said, “Where’s Lu Yang?”
The other pointed behind his back
A figure was hanging beneath the elevated water tower Jiang Ziya had seen it the moment he stepped onto the rooftop
“Nonsense The one hanging there isn’t Lu Yang Do you think I’m blind?”
The person froze and blurted, “You can tell the difference?”
Jiang Ziya flinched and remembered what Yu Shu had said before, not toeye”…
“I have already broken through your barrier dimension Who wouldn’t be able to tell the difference!” He forcefully blathered, “Your skills are just too lousy!”
The ed man’s face turned dark He said, “So it seeht that you were just an ordinary person who had lucked out and gotten your hands on an artifact demon Now, it appears that you are also a practitioner However, even if we’re in the sa that artifact demon! Hand it over, unless you don’t care for your companion’s life?”
Jiang Ziya angrily shouted, “I want to see a living Lu Yang! Otherwise, there will absolutely be no negotiation!”
Though the fake person had been seen through, the estured to the scarecrow and the fe and pulled up so from each side
It was Lu Yang
Both his hands were kept in handcuffs, and the chain in the center wrapped around the railing, keeping hi Because all of his body weight was supported by his wrists, the area around his wrists had already turned bloody
“Lu Yang!” Jiang Ziya immediately shouted
But the latter had his head lowered and did not reply
Jiang Ziya glared at the ed man fiercely
“He is still living” The man coldly continued, “However, it would be hard to say so if he continues hanging there Hand over the artifact deive you the keys to the handcuffs”
Xiao Xue was hiding right in Jiang Ziya’s backpack, not ine how she felt upon hearing this Would she think that he really would exchange her for Lu Yang?
Jiang Ziya had already given up on the option of “exchanging her” long ago He didn’t knohen it had happened, but he was certain that he was unable to do so Even if Xiao Xue wasn’t human, other than those ball-joints that proved otherwise, which part of her didn’t seem human?
Jiang Ziya started considering What if I pretended to hand Xiao Xue over to get the keys to the handcuffs first, and then snatched Xiao Xue back?
No, it still won’t do He only had House Keeper at his side, and the other person had three illusionary fa under the water tower is included, then it’s four! He didn’t have any confidence in snatching Xiao Xue back from the other person’s hands
Then, what should I do?
“I’ll give you ten seconds Give me the artifact demon!”
As the guy urged in front, a barely audible voice caree to hand me over to him, then it will be a contract, and I will really becoree, he will not be able to take me away”
Jiang Ziya froze He then understood the reason why the other had not gone ahead to snatch Xiao Xue even though he had four illusions at hand
He was completely in a dilemma, stuck between a rock and a hard place However, he was very clear regarding his decision He merely could not accept that fact, for Xiao Xue herself had just followed hiuarded…
