Chapter 120: “The Door”

[Response... Response... Return... Response... Return... Response...]
“Shut up!”

The pale moonlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow on the bedside.

Beneath the thick woolen quilt, Jiaoe’s ketone bodies trembled incessantly.

Suddenly, Lin Ye let out a fierce cry and threw off the covers abruptly.

Her flawlessly pure white body was exposed to the air, exquisite without a trace of flaw.

Her slender, elongated legs were the envy of countless enthusiasts; her broad chest seemed vast enough to accommodate hundreds of expansive airfields...

“Silence!”

Lin Ye’s face was pale, her lips tightly clenched, as if enduring unbearable pain.

Ever since she stopped voluntarily completing the custom tasks set by the Trial Space, these voices had been haunting her intermittently.

This maddening sound was always accompanied by immense physical and mental anguish, forcing her to carry out the tasks.

Only then did Lin Ye finally understand that this was the true cost of power.

She was like a puppet controlled by the Trial Space, compelled to perform various actions against her will.

Fortunately, the Trial Space seemed to fear something or was somehow restricted—only at the end of each month could it summon her, releasing a torrent of negative energy through these frenzied shouts.

As long as it was just once a month, Lin Ye could endure it.

“Hahaha! What do you think you are, a mere beast of burden? You dare try to control me?!”

Facing the invisible watcher in the air, Lin Ye smiled brilliantly, then softly uttered a graceful phrase.

[Execute... Execute... Response... Execute... Response...]

The unknown observer intensified the frequency of the maddening cries, and Lin Ye’s expression grew even more pained.

[Execute... Response... Execute... Response... expletive...?%$...]

Then the voice degraded into static and vanished, leaving the world calm and unchanging once more.

“Haha... ha...”

Lin Ye revealed a victorious smile. She had tried this method many times; it never failed. Each time the maddening voice escalated its control, it would turn into static and disappear. Then Lin Ye would feel an inexplicable restlessness in her body, but this sensation posed no real danger—at worst, a slight warmth.

She guessed that some unknown force on her side must be blocking or even repelling the maddening voice.

Regardless of the cause, Lin Ye had won a temporary victory.

Meanwhile, in the vast white ocean world, a message appeared:

[Intrusion eliminated, counterattack in progress...]

After this incident, Lin Ye was wide awake. She slipped back into her black dress, leaned on the windowsill, and stared blankly at the street outside.

It was already late at night; the weary had long since fallen into a dreamland guarded by battle-hardened warriors.

The street was empty except for the light from the street lamps, the peaceful night enveloping all in silence.

In the fields, the night watchmen, invigorated by countless buckets of milk, guardedI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
