Chapter 27: The Invisible Tenant 5_2

```

"What do you want me to do?" he asked directly.

The "Angel" sister had a look of sudden realization, as if saying, "How could I forget about the important matter."

"I want you to help me!" she said and then added, "Help me get out!"

Chen Xiao nodded, it turned out to be just that.

"Why me?" he asked again.

The girl had a look as if she knew what he was going to ask, continued drawing and replied, "It's not that I was looking for you specifically, you already know, the Array below is connected to your world. Just now it (she glanced at "Eye Guy") happened to find that you could be pulled in, so it just pulled you in..."

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at "Eye Guy": "Uh... I can be pulled in? Does that mean not everyone can be pulled into this place? And from what you're saying, the 'ghost' that was wandering in that Formation and communicating with me through paper and pen was actually this big eye?"

The girl looked like "of course it was", and glanced at the array of liver, gallbladder, spleen, and lungs hanging around her, saying, "I haven't left this room in a long time."

Chen Xiao thoughtfully nodded. Actually, when he first saw the "Angel" girl like this, he found it unrealistic to think she could bring all these jars and bottles into the Formation in the basement. But he had never considered that the one communicating with him was "Eye Guy," because there was a question.

"How does it... write?" Chen Xiao asked cautiously.

"Hmm? It just writes like this!" The girl had an "are you really asking that" expression, glanced at "Eye Guy", and it seemed to immediately understand what the girl meant.

After that, it sat down on the ground with a "plop," using its lower two "hands" to mimic a posture of one hand holding paper, the other holding a pen.

...

...

Chen Xiao had an expression of extreme annoyance, his mouth slightly agape: "Fuck, there's actually such an operation?"

The girl saw Chen Xiao's expression and seemed to find it very amusing, her lips curling into a smile.

Honestly, it was quite beautiful.

Chen Xiao calmed himself down, feeling he could accept whatever bizarre thing happened next.

"So, the people you pulled in before, didn't they help you?" he asked.

"Actually, there aren't many people who can be pulled in. The last person who came here was extremely panicked, couldn't communicate properly, and just when my body was also not in a good state, so... I just used him!"

The "Angel" sister said this while pointing at her body, her "innocent" eyes seemingly suggesting it was a very normal thing.

Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced at the rudimentary surgical equipment and jars on the rack, breaking into a sweat. How fortunate that he had been polite; otherwise, this adorable little sister might have caught him in an Array and turned him into the next set of spare parts!!

Regardless of whether she was reading my thoughts or not, the first thing to do was to try to keep my expression as natural as possible.

"Uh... What kind of person can be pulled in here?" Chen Xiao asked.

The "Angel" sister pondered for a moment and said, "Well... generally, those who are not tightly linked to their own world can be pulled in."

Chen Xiao frowned: "Not tightly linked?"

"Yes! I can't quite explain it, but it's like there's a lot of stuff that doesn't really fit with his world. These things are usually very strange. For instance, some of your 'Spiritualists' and people who often feel like they've seen the scene before them before, and so on... blah blah blah..." The Angel sister tried hard to explain but found that the more she explained, the more confused it became.

```

Chen Xiao furrowed his brow but didn't pay much attention to the girl's increasingly clumsy explanation, "So you're saying, I'm also someone out of sync with the world? Is there something wrong with me?"

The "Angel" sister hesitated for a moment and then pointed at her own head, "Umm... the problem should be right here!"

After she said that, she stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.

Watching her behave like a little girl despite always doing terrible things, Chen Xiao desperately wanted to ridicule her, but he held himself back.

"So, how can I help you?" he asked.

Upon hearing this question, the "Angel" sister immediately turned and began rummaging through her desk. Papers went flying everywhere, and finally, she pulled out one that had a strange formation drawn on it and handed it to Chen Xiao, "You just need to bring me some items from your world... uh... the things we just talked about, those loosely connected items."

"Strange artifacts?" Chen Xiao interjected.

"Yes, yes!! Exactly that!" The girl looked at him with admiration, her face saying, "Wow, you're awesome," "Just place them on this drawing here."

Chen Xiao glanced down and noticed the formation was the same as the one in the basement.

"Hmm..." Chen Xiao hummed, his tone ambiguous.

In fact, from the beginning until now, it was this self-proclaimed "Angel" sister who had been talking to herself because Chen Xiao could not verify whether what she was saying was true. Furthermore, if she indeed possessed the ability to "read thoughts," then it made it impossible for Chen Xiao to observe and analyze this "Angel" sister, as doing so would only add to her means of deception. Hence, at this moment, his thoughts inevitably followed her lead. But Chen Xiao was still trying not to think too much while noting her every movement, every word, and every expression. Even during their conversation, he occasionally glanced at "Eyeball-kun" standing idly by.

However, even in this "low thought" state, Chen Xiao was very aware that this person was deceiving him.

The "Angel" sister seemed to be aware of what Chen Xiao was hesitating about and then spoke in a cute voice, "Actually, you don't have to overthink it. Even if I say, I am a beautiful and kind angel imprisoned here by a demon, you wouldn't believe it. You even harbor deep doubts about the very words 'angel' and 'demon' themselves, right."

As she said this, she revealed that good-looking smile again.

Chen Xiao didn't respond because he wasn't trying to guess what was hidden behind that smile.

"You are very intelligent, so I think you can help me, and that's also the reason why you're still standing here," the girl continued with a smile, "In the knowledge I am studying right now, there's a basic theory called 'equivalent exchange,' so your efforts will be rewarded. I'm not lying to you about that."

Chen Xiao remained expressionless, and at that moment, he was just listening, his subconscious thought process even coming to a halt.

The "Angel" sister paused for a moment and then seemed to become exceptionally happy.

"You're even smarter than I thought!" she continued in the girlish tone, cheerfully saying, "Well, it looks like it's time for you to go back now. Think it over, whether as a friend or an enemy, the choice is in your hands."

With that, she squinted her eyes and curved up the corners of her mouth, the same expression Chen Xiao saw when he first laid eyes on her.

And... it was exactly the same.

As if specifically painted on for others to see.

It was at this moment that Chen Xiao realized why she squinted her eyes behind that smile.

"Is she... really smiling?" Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder.

Then a wave of dizziness overtook him, and his vision seemed to blur as if covered by a layer of fog.
