Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 44 The Riddler

"Hello, son of man."

The first words spoken by the being who walked out of the crack in the wall proved the fact that he was not human.

But thinking about it, Jiang Ke didn't think humans could grow like this.

With her poor language, she could hardly describe how stunning the appearance of the "person" walking towards her was.

He has short silver hair, and this kind of silver is full of rhythm, as if there is endless light flowing between the tips of his hair; his face is biased toward that of a teenager, and although his handsome features seem to be shining, there is no trace of them at all.

Feminine; his body is slender and well-proportioned, just stuck at a certain most suitable point.

He just smiled slightly, filled with the sunshine and brightness of a young man. But the pair of white-gold eyes showed a vicissitudes of life and a distant color.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but even though Jiang Ke used his ability to transmit knowledge, he could not see any emotion in his eyes.

"Don't be nervous. In a sense, I am of a lower rank than you."

He said this in a brisk tone: "Introduce yourself, you can call me Mian."

Jiang Ke blinked, feeling like he had a lot of questions to ask, but for a moment he didn't know what to ask.

In the end I could only nod my head to show that I understood.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask. I can answer a few of your questions. Come on, ask them quickly."

Mian shrugged his shoulders and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He seemed to feel very happy all of a sudden.

"There are many questions I want to ask. For example...what kind of existence are you?"

"This is a forbidden event!"

Mian shook his head, seeming a little regretful as to why Jiang Ke asked this question, and said, "Let's change it."

"Then do you know why I came here?"

"This can answer you. You should also know that this is not an area open to you now."

As soon as he said these words, Jiang Ke's pupils shrank. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she saw Mian wave her hands casually and said:

"Oh, don't be nervous. I can just feel that colorful card on your body... Its existence is nothing short of a miracle."

The corner of Jiang Ke's mouth twitched and he cursed: "This makes me even more nervous, okay!"

He continued:

"This is the realm created by the Forerunner of the third version. I originally planned to make trouble for him. But unexpectedly, this guy ran out very cleverly."

"The red mist was actually released by him in a panic when he was escaping. As for why you came, it's probably because I got a little bit of it when I used its power."

What he said was not very clear, but Jiang Ke was keenly aware of its meaning. She frowned and said:

"In other words, you dragged me in? Did my companions come in?"

"Well, that's what I mean. After all, I have a few words to say to you. As for your companions, they didn't come in."

"That's it..." Jiang Ke nodded thoughtfully.

She was about to ask what the Forerunner was, but the other party had lost interest in answering.

He said: "This is the end of the problem time. Come with me, I know what you need, and this is what should belong to you."

With that said, he turned around and walked towards the crack in the wall. Jiang Ke hesitated and followed him.

The width of this so-called wall gap is much wider than what you see from the outside. And I don’t know if some kind of spatial method is involved. Walking here is no different from walking in a passage that is large enough for a car to drive.

After walking for more than two minutes, the road reached the end.

There is also a cave at the end. No, it is not so much a cave as it has been transformed into a room.

The four walls and ceiling are covered with a layer of light red wallpaper, and a huge crystal chandelier emits light. There is also a thick carpet on the floor. There is also a lot of exquisite furniture placed.

Sofas, fireplaces, armchairs, lounge chairs and tables are all available, as well as a small refrigerator for wine and display racks for various collections.

Liu Zexing and Wu Yu will definitely like these strange pieces of furniture that coexist with Gothic style and comfort.

The layout here is really not unfamiliar to Jiang Ke. After all, the vampire lairs from Silent Night Castle are all like this.

The layout is the same. Even if it is amazing at first, it will become boring after a long time.

Besides, her eyes have long been attracted by something——

"Treasure chest? What is this kind of treasure chest?"

Jiang Ke saw a strange treasure box placed in the middle of the room at a glance.

The treasure chest seemed to be half a person tall, with layers of patterns on its surface, dense and exquisite. It even had a halo particle effect...

According to the system's law of "the more gorgeous it is, the more precious it is". It would not be surprising even if a few pieces of legendary material Jiang Ke were found in this treasure box.

Mian looked at Jiang Ke's expression and seemed to see the latter's thoughts. He pointed at the treasure box and said with a smile: "Go and open it. See what you can find."

Jiang Ke glanced at him and felt that there was something malicious in this guy's smile.

But the treasure chest couldn't be fake. Besides, after seeing what was needed for the second upgrade of the apartment and other facilities, she was naturally extremely eager for all kinds of materials.

She walked forward and pressed her palm on the treasure box. The treasure box opened with a click.

[Congratulations on getting gold coins X300]

"The money is quite a lot, and the things inside are..." Jiang Ke looked down and saw three things lying quietly in the treasure chest.

Both of them exude a deep luster of dark gold. And they are still made of exactly the same material——

【Netherworld Spiritual Liquid】

【Dark Gold·Material】

[Explanation: The spiritual fluid collected and produced from the strange water flow called the Holy River by the vampires is an important material for high-level vampires to perform the 'Spirit Empowerment' ritual]

Jiang Ke's eyes stayed on the word "supporting spirit" for a moment, and he suddenly had some idea in his heart. He looked at the thing next to him.

This is something like a syringe, but it also emits a dark golden light.

【Syringe of Empowerment·no.223】

【Dark Gold·Props】

[Explanation: It is a prop used by high-level vampires to perform the 'spirit-supporting' ritual on life. Without the operation of high-level vampires, the effect of the ritual will be weakened. However, it can still be given to life with: Blood Walker profession]

[Note: This profession will keep the inductee's alignment in one of chaos/evil, which is almost unchangeable. Moreover, the lives transferred in this way will unconditionally obey the arrangement of the item holder]

"See, this is a special item that can give you two loyal slaves."

Mian didn't know when he came to Jiang Ke. He was smiling slightly, his face full of fun.

"If you are worried, I can also help you get rid of the restrictions of the Blood Walker profession. As long as you find someone to inject the liquid into it, he will immediately become your slave~"

"They have shared your glory, shouldn't they serve you wholeheartedly?"

The young man's gentle voice echoed in Jiang Ke's ears, but Jiang Ke only remained silent for a few seconds and then looked at him suddenly.

Only the moonlight was visible, and the fireball flew out of Jiang Ke's open palm and shot directly at him.

Mian didn't pay any attention to the incoming attack. He didn't even make any move, and the moonlight and fireball quietly dissipated when they approached him.

"Okay, okay~ As long as you're happy." He spread his hands and sighed helplessly. Then, he looked at Jiang Ke.

There was a trace of obvious pity in those white-gold pupils.

He hesitated and said:

"Let me give you a piece of advice. It can be regarded as compensation for me bringing you in."

His tone suddenly became colder, and his face changed so quickly.

"Be careful with time, time is the enemy of all miracles! Even if you share its glory, you will be powerless when it comes to time."

After saying this, he lost all interest in talking.

His figure disappeared directly in front of Jiang Ke like a bubble.

There is only one sentence left that echoes for a long time——

"Your sufferings all come from time."

Jiang Ke's face suddenly became very, very bad when he heard the words he left behind like "The Riddler".
