Chapter 371 One Ball

Indeed, the sign appears to be written in human language, but upon closer inspection, Lin Xiyue keenly noticed something amiss.

Those foreign scripts were cleverly disguised among human scripts; if she hadn't had a cheat code, she probably wouldn't have been able to discover this secret.

These foreign characters were deliberately written in a distorted, bizarre, and convoluted manner, as if they were intentionally disguised as the patterns on a sign.

If Lin Xiyue hadn't used a translation card that automatically translated it into text, she probably would have easily missed the sentence even if she knew all the foreign languages.

And this sentence was clearly written in a foreign language—Belke Meros, do you still remember your promise?

This statement seems to be directed at Meros, but the way it's disguised as a pattern suggests it's also directed at Phoebus himself.

Lin Xiyue didn't rush to click anywhere, but calmed down and carefully observed the sign.

Her gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, not missing a single detail.

Finally, in the lower left corner of the sign, where the little black thing was holding onto it, Lin Xiyue found a small piece that looked like a button.

It is cleverly hidden in the pattern and can easily be overlooked if you don't look closely.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue reached out without hesitation and gently touched the tentacles of the little black thing.

With a "whoosh," the tentacles seemed startled and quickly retracted.

At the same time, the sign tilted slightly, completely exposing the button that had been covered.

Lin Xiyue reacted quickly, and before the button could be hidden again, she reached out and clicked it.

Silently, after Lin Xiyue touched it, the sign cracked in the middle, revealing its pure black appearance.

Lin Xiyue looked at the wooden sign that had turned into a spying window, like a black hole. Just as she was about to tap it again to see if there would be any other reaction, she saw the screen suddenly project a beam of light, shooting straight at Lin Xiyue who was holding the screen.

"Huh?! Huh?!!"

Lin Xiyue suddenly let out two screams, clearly startled by this unexpected turn of events.

[Holy crap! What is this thing?!]

At the same time, the system's voice also rang in Lin Xiyue's mind.

"!careful!!!--"

Lingye's shouts followed closely behind.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, as if it were only a moment.

Before Ling Ye could even run over, the mysterious light had already scanned Lin Xiyue from head to toe, then quickly retreated like a startled snake.

Surprisingly, the light did not appear to pose any danger.

After it shrank back, the sign, which had originally looked like a black hole, suddenly began to expand violently, taking up the entire screen in the blink of an eye.

Although Ling Ye was constantly searching for a way out, his attention never left Lin Xiyue.

So when he saw that strange ray, he immediately rushed over without hesitation, wanting to protect Lin Xiyue from possible harm.

"How are you feeling? Do you feel anything unusual?"

Ling Ye walked quickly to Lin Xiyue's side with a look of anxiety on his face. His gaze swept eagerly over Lin Xiyue's entire body, as if he wanted to see through her appearance to the condition of her body inside.

"Hmm... I feel fine, but I don't know what this thing is scanning."

Lin Xiyue shook her head and answered softly, her voice revealing a hint of doubt and unease.

However, just as she finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the space.

The sound was like the flow of electricity, making a "hissing" sound, which lasted for only a few seconds before stopping abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, the previously black screen suddenly lit up, as if it had been activated by a powerful force.

As the screen lit up, the entire room seemed to be illuminated, instantly becoming brighter.

The brightness was almost unsettling; the ground seemed to be reflecting light, as if the entire space was enveloped in a dazzling glow.

Ling Ye stood beside Lin Xiyue, witnessing the sudden change as well. His brows furrowed, and he glanced around warily, seemingly on guard against potential danger.

"I didn't know what happened, let's see how it goes first."

Lin Xiyue shook her head blankly, her face also filled with confusion.

Immediately afterwards, she and Lingye beside her both refocused their attention on the screen.

On the screen, a spherical object suddenly came into view.

This sphere looks rather peculiar; it's like a finished model that hasn't been painted yet, with a pure white color throughout, only subtle differences in light and shadow.

Lin Xiyue curiously reached out and cautiously tugged at the screen. The sphere actually started to rotate slowly, just like a model, following her hand movement.

As the sphere rotated, Lin Xiyue's gaze also moved constantly.

After the sphere had spun more than halfway around, she suddenly noticed an opening on it that resembled a door. This opening stood out starkly against the white sphere, as if it had been deliberately left as a passage.

Lin Xiyue subconsciously tapped the opening with her finger, and at that instant, something amazing happened—the entire spherical object began to rapidly enlarge, as if it were being pulled closer by an invisible force.

No, that's not right!

Lin Xiyue quickly realized that it wasn't the sphere that was enlarging, but rather that her perspective was as if she had been sucked into that opening, instantly entering the interior of the sphere.

"It looks familiar..."

Lin Xiyue stared at the scene before her, a feeling of déjà vu welling up inside her.

She murmured to herself, her brows furrowing slightly as she tried to recall where she had seen this familiar scene before.

[Of course it looks familiar! Isn't this where we are?]

Just then, the system suddenly made a sound.

The system's response startled Lin Xiyue, and she quickly looked away from the screen, turning her gaze to her surroundings.

Lin Xiyue looked around, her doubts deepening.

She realized that her surroundings were remarkably similar to the scene on the screen, as if it were the same place viewed from a different angle. She turned her gaze back to the screen in her hands, carefully comparing the details between the two.

Sure enough, just as the system said, it was indeed the same place, only the angle of observation was different.

Lin Xiyue was standing on the ground with her gaze almost level, only able to see a portion of her surroundings; but on the screen, her perspective was from above, like the viewpoint when playing a building game, allowing her to easily overlook most of the building from one angle.

This amazing discovery surprised and intrigued Lin Xiyue.

She began to re-examine the place, trying to understand its whole picture and details from different angles in order to build a complete picture of the house in her mind.
