Devil's Playground

The portal exit of the residence was set in the lobby on the first floor. As soon as Yang Jin went out, he saw Joe collapsed on the sofa exhausted, apparently just returned from the central area.

Seeing Yang Jin coming out of the portal, Qiao subconsciously wanted to get up, but after a little hesitation, he fell back and said with a tired face, "Sorry, I will go upstairs after lying here for a while."

"Don't be so polite, this is a public area...can I help you up?" Yang Jin asked tentatively.

Unlike his long-range method, which hides behind and shoots cold arrows, Joe and Conch have always been fighting on the front line. Both physical consumption and mental pressure are very huge. The strengthening room can repair their bodies, but the long-term tension caused Mind exhaustion can only be recovered through rest and sleep.

"No, I'll just take a rest." Joe shook his head slightly.

Yang Jin didn't insist, he said goodbye to Qiao, and turned to enter his and Lin Yu's private area.

Yang Jin didn't find Lin Yu on the first floor, so he turned around and went to the basement, only to find that Lin Yu was taking a bath in the bathtub in the basement.

"Your hobby has been the same for ten years." Yang Jin teased, took off his clothes, stepped into the pool, and squeezed together with Lin Yu.

"Warmth is the best way to relax." Lin Yu lazily leaned on Yang Jin, allowing him to tease him.

"Is it hard?" Yang Jin hugged Lin Yu in his arms, "I saw Joe when I came out, and he collapsed on the sofa as if he was paralyzed. This is the first time I saw him so tired. appearance."

"He is working so hard." Lin Yu put his arms around Yang Jin's neck, adjusted his body to make himself more comfortable, "Don't look at his relaxed and chic performance, in fact, he is more tired than a conch, Just keep avoiding being discovered."

"He has too high demands on himself, and every time he does it, it's like performing an operation."

"Yeah, occupational disease." Lin Yu pouted, and then complained because of Yang Jin's abnormal movement, "Don't make trouble, it can't be done now."

"Why, we have all left the game field." Yang Jin pinned Lin Yu to his chest with one hand, and continued to make trouble on him with the other hand.

"I promised Conch to invite him to dinner, I don't want to delay until tomorrow." Lin Yu's voice started to go out of tune unconsciously.

"Don't worry, dear, I'm not a national football team." Yang Jin bit Lin Yu's earlobe lightly, "We'll make it quick."

"No... um..."

Half an hour later, the bath was changed to a pool of warm water. Lin Yu straddled Yang Jin, hugged his neck, and panted with him.

"I think you have too much energy. Is this game field too easy for you?" Lin Yu asked resentfully after her breathing calmed down.

"It's really easy." Yang Jin admitted frankly, "The time is short, and I am not exhausted. Although there are two battles, all I have to do is to cast spells in the rear, without any pressure or loss."

"Perhaps I should consider adding some burden to you." Lin Yu said with narrowed eyes.

"Like now?" Yang Jin turned up on purpose, in exchange for Lin Yu's ambiguous snort.

Lin Yu angrily rolled his eyes back at him, lowered his head, and whispered viciously in his ear: "Drain you dry at night."

"I'm looking forward to it." Yang Jin raised his head and kissed Lin Yu's lips.

The two lingered in the water for a while, and Lin Yu finally pushed Yang Jin away and stood up from the bath.

Yang Jin was too lazy to move at the moment. He leaned against the pool wall and watched Lin Yu put on his bathrobe. He suddenly remembered that he had brought back a few soul stones in his memory. Three soul stones came out of the game field with him.

Yang Jin suddenly became puzzled.In the past, when leaving the game field, the soul stone would be forcibly recovered by the system, why did it come out this time?Thinking about it, Yang Jin suddenly remembered that this time he not only brought the soul stone "out" of the game field, but also brought a soul stone "in" into the game field.

Yang Jin immediately came up with a thought: Is it possible that only the soul stones of living people can freely enter and leave the game field?

"Still coming out?" Lin Yu's voice came from above his head, interrupting Yang Jin's thoughts.

Yang Jin quickly turned his wrist and took out the three soul stones, "Look at this."

"Isn't this... the soul stone you used to summon Rick?" Lin Yu asked doubtfully after a glance.

"I brought it out from the playground." Yang Jin told Lin Yu of his doubts, and then asked, "Do you want to call Liu Ke out and ask?"

Lin Yu didn't answer right away, turned on his memory light screen to check the time, then nodded and said: "You can try to summon it first, I always feel that there may be other problems here."

Yang Jin put two of the three soul stones into memory, leaving one to summon Rick.

The spell was finished quickly, but the air around him was as calm as before. There were no whirlpools or black holes. Only the soul stone was exhausted, leaving only residue.

——how did it happen?

Just as Yang Jin was about to complain, the light screen of the memory in his hand turned on automatically, and with a swipe, Yang Jin was startled.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Yang Jin seemed to be frightened, Lin Yu immediately asked.

"The memory light screen was turned on, I didn't do it." Yang Jin stared at the light screen nervously, trying to turn it off, but it didn't work.

Without waiting for Lin Yu to ask, Yang Jin found a familiar black vortex appeared on the light screen, and quickly raised his hand to make a silent gesture to Lin Yu.

The vortex dissipated automatically after turning a few times, and Ruuk's hideous and ugly face appeared on the screen immediately.

"Hi, Contractor."

"Ruke?" Yang Jin asked suspiciously.

"Who else could it be?" Rick grinned, "I'm sorry, Contractor, your location has a very tight space barrier, and I can't pass through it, so I can only respond to your request in this way." Summoning—by the way, what do you need from me?"

"...I just want to see if I can summon you outside the game field." Yang Jin tried his best to calm down.

"The result has already come out." Rick said with a smile.

"Yes, but I have already wasted the soul stone, and you must make me worth it." Yang Jin didn't let Rick disappear like this, "Can you tell me why the soul stone obtained from a living person It can be taken out of the game field, but the ones obtained from those NPCs can't?"

"Because the soul of the NPC hides the imprint of the game field, it will be detected by the system when passing through the teleportation node, and it will be automatically recovered." Rick said meaningfully, "As for humans like you, their imprint is in their hands. In the hands of the administrators, that is, what you call Mr. E and Mr. W, the system has no right to interfere."

Soul... imprint?

Yang Jin felt hairy when he heard that, he twirled the remaining soul stone residue on the palm of his right hand, and suddenly felt that this thing was a bit permeable.

But when he changed his mind, Yang Jin realized that this matter might be more serious than he thought, and hurriedly asked, "You mean these soul stones really have souls?!"

Liu Ke chuckled, showing a twitching expression of "the facts are right there, believe it or not".

Lin Yu on the side also opened his mouth wide in surprise, but quickly closed it again, not interjecting to ask questions before Yang Jin got the answer.

Yang Jin couldn't explain Lin Yu's doubts, and he couldn't smoke Rick, so he could only suppress the agitation in his heart, and continued to ask: "The soul really exists?"

"If the soul doesn't exist, how did you resurrect?" Rick laughed jokingly, "Don't deny its existence just because you can't see it, Contractor, the body is just a vehicle and can be replaced at any time. The soul is the only and irreplaceable. In fact, the current level of technology of human beings is enough to touch the realm of the soul, but there is still a little bit... In your words, there is still a layer of window paper that has not been pierced. But this The layer of window paper is strong and concealed, even if you touch it, you may not realize it, and even if you realize it, you may not be able to pierce it."

Yang Jin stared blankly at the light screen, turning a deaf ear to Ru Ke's long-winded emotions, and it took him a while to recover, and then a thought popped up: What does this kind of thing have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Yang Jin immediately calmed down, and then thought of something closely related to himself.

"Wait, if the souls of living people belong to administrators like Mr. E, doesn't it mean that they can take back these souls at any time?"

"Well..." Liu Ke showed a smirk, "Actually, I did some tricks inside. As long as no one tries to revive these guys imprisoned in the soul stone, the administrator will not notice that they are missing."

"If so?" Yang Jin immediately changed his face.

"Then you just confess me." Ruk replied frankly, but then raised his finger and added, "But you can only confess to E, absolutely not to anyone else. If other administrators first When you find out about this, go to E immediately and tell it everything—trust me, it will protect you, at least your soul, and won’t let it dissipate.”

"I really want to confess everything to it now." Yang Jin said angrily.

"This is not a good idea, Contractor, don't you want to regain your freedom, don't you want to leave here earlier?" Rick raised his eyebrows and asked.

Yang Jin didn't answer.To be honest, he really didn't really think about it, but he couldn't tell Lin Yu about this kind of thinking, so he could only keep silent and let Rick understand by himself.

"Don't be so nervous, Contractor, I have the same demands as you, and we are now... yes, grasshoppers on the same rope." Ruoke said with a smile, "Don't worry, according to my statistics, we can be truly There are actually very few resurrected people, and most of them are reborn through the props they bought, not through the hands of the administrator, so the probability of being discovered is actually very low. Of course, you can also take some preventive measures, such as Don't get soul stones from people who are likely to be resurrected. Even if you accidentally get their soul stones, use them as much as possible in the game field, so that even if the administrator tracks them down, they won't be able to track you down body, it will only be blamed on the game field bug."

——You are the biggest bug!

Yang Jin felt that he had simply boarded Ruke's thief ship, riding a tiger with difficulty, and was in a dilemma.

Just as he was annoyed, Yang Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing that he had overlooked a very important question, and immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you need a soul? A soul of a living person?"
