The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

When he saw these four big words, Xu Yiyu really laughed.

The owner of the underground palace knew that the previous mechanisms were too inhumane, so he gave this question which was obviously a sweet treat.

but--

"I remember that if the leak was at this level, we would have to wait at least a while for the water to drain out normally..."

"Sister Yi Yu, you remembered correctly, it was 10 hours."

As Rong Yan continued with Xu Yi's words, he tried to move the clepsydra pot at the highest point of the timekeeping clepsydra.

The thin-looking clepsydra did not move at all.

Rong Yan pushed his glasses awkwardly and withdrew his hand reluctantly.

It seems that it is impossible to interfere with the water level in the clepsydra by human power, and we can only wait for it to drain at a normal speed.

At this time, the black cat, which had been following the three people, leisurely strolled to Xu Yiyu's side and gently scratched her trouser legs with its little claws.

When Xu Yiyu lowered his head to look at the black cat that finally moved again, the man and the cat looked at each other. The black cat's emerald green eyes slowly turned in a direction, indicating the wooden door on the right side of the night watch.

"You want me to... open it?"

Xu Yiyu pointed to the door on the right with some surprise. Unexpectedly, Xuan Mao actually nodded at her in a very humane way.

She thought about it carefully. She would have to stay in this stone chamber for ten hours anyway. There seemed to be no harm in giving it a try as Black Cat suggested.

After all, this little guy has never harmed her, and there might be something in the room on the right.

When Xu Yiyu walked to the door and was about to push it open, Lin Yi and Rong Yan immediately followed her, fearing that she might be in danger.

But they didn't expect that when they were about one meter away from the door, they were intercepted by the black cat.

Lin Yi originally wanted to go around the black cat at his feet, but he didn't expect that as soon as he raised his leg, the little guy seemed to have a positioning system and jumped directly in that direction, blocking his steps again.

"Captain Lin, I think...it probably doesn't want us to follow Sister Yi Yu, so let her go in alone."

Along the way, the little guy's movements were all traceable, and his intentions at this time were easy to guess.

Xu Yiyu looked back at Lin Yi, who looked a little hesitant, and gave him a firm look.

"Don't worry, Captain Lin, I'll open the door and see what's inside."

She paused and looked down at the black cat that stopped Rong Yan and Lin Yi.

"This little guy is very humane. I believe he won't hurt me."

Lin Yi stared at the seemingly non-intimidating black cat at his feet for a long time, and finally nodded.

Xu Yiyu then turned around and pushed open the simple wooden door.

There was no expected scene of dust blowing in the face, nothing came out of the door, and the air was even quite fresh.

Xu Yiyu was a little surprised. Just as he was about to turn on the high-lumen flashlight he had been holding in his hand, the room seemed to suddenly have a light source and gradually became brighter.

After taking a closer look at the furnishings in the room, Xu Yiyu's urge to laugh became more obvious.

A table, a chair, a stone bed, and a torch on the wall for lighting.

——That is, all the objects visible to the naked eye in this room.

Xu Yiyu stared at the steadily burning torch for a while, and he had a clue about one thing in his mind.

This room should have ventilation ducts installed in the dark.

She took off her gas mask swiftly, sniffed hard, and became more certain of the guess in her heart.

Apart from the almost negligible smell of dust, the room could almost be described as "clean".

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, she still feels that this room with overly simple furnishings must have been specially prepared by the owner of the underground palace for later comers.

"Xiao Yan, and Captain Lin, I think... Mimi probably wants us to sleep here for one night."

Xu Yiyu took off the outdoor bag on his back and placed it on the table. He walked back to the door of the room while carefully choosing his words, trying his best to make what he said sound not too outrageous.

Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at the black cat at his feet. As if in response to Xu Yiyu's words, the little guy also used his little paw to point to the wooden door on the left side of the room to Rong Yan and Lin Yi.

"Mr. Xu, if I understand you correctly, did you just say that the owner of this black cat specially prepared a dormitory for us visitors to rest?"

As if he realized that what he said was really unbelievable, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing when he opened his mouth.

He had never seen an archaeological team encounter such an overly "considerate" owner of the underground palace when they went underground, not even once.

Xu Yiyu blinked his eyes, scratched his cheek gently, and the corner of his mouth curved into a somewhat awkward arc.

"You... can indeed understand it that way."

Lin Yi was still digesting the information in Xu Yi's words, but Rong Yan, who was standing next to him, just lowered his head to look at his watch, and walked to the wooden door on the left side of the stone chamber without any hesitation on his face.

He did not give Lin Yi even half a second to stop him. He raised his hand decisively and pushed open the wooden door that looked almost exactly the same as the door on the right.

Captain Lin, who was usually resolute and decisive, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say in this situation.

Rong Yan followed Xu Yiyu's pace perfectly. After entering the room, he just took a quick look at the layout of the room and then took off the outdoor bag on his shoulder.

"Captain Lin, the layout of this room is the same as Sister Yi Yu's room. There is no danger."

Lin Yi originally wanted to be more cautious, but thinking that being too cautious was not a good thing, he said nothing and walked to the door on the left side of the stone chamber.

"I don't know if you guys noticed, it's already 11 o'clock at night."

Xu Yiyu took out his cell phone and took a look at it, then shouted meaningfully towards the other side of the stone chamber.

"Then we'll see you...tomorrow morning?"

Just as Lin Yi placed his outdoor bag on the table in the room, he noticed Rong Yan echoing Xu Yiyu's words.

...and his hands that had already started to take the sleeping bag out of the bag.

"meet tomorrow."

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and smiled, then raised his voice and said good night to Xu Yiyu's room.

It would be a waste to wait in the stone chamber for ten hours. It would be better to make use of the time and adjust your state when you can rest.

"Good night, both of you."

After saying good night, Xu Yiyu raised his hand to close the open wooden door, when he saw the black cat that had been squatting at the door sneak into the room.

"Mimi, are you trying to use the dormitory? No, you are the one who found this dormitory for us. I am the one who is using your house to live here."

After the black cat nimbly jumped onto the only table in the room, Xu Yiyu stared at the pair of green eyes for a while. Not treating this little guy as a stranger, he took out his sleeping bag from the outdoor bag that contained the space stacking box in front of it.

——There were also a few cat strips that Tianlin had stuffed into the bag at some point.

"Okay, okay, Tianlin has prepared some snacks for me, so you don't have to worry about being hungry tonight."

Noticing the anticipation in the black cat's eyes, Xu Yiyu consciously tore open a bag of chicken-flavored cat strips and handed it to the mouth of the black little guy.

Is there any assistant as thoughtful as Tianlin? She almost cried.
