Lin Ge lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep. However, in fact, he was deducing the alchemical formula in his mind and simulating the actual operation process.
Complex runes danced in his mind, combined, and then dissipated. His body has undergone some changes recently, and he can maintain a lot of energy even without sleeping, but he still maintains the same work and rest habits as before.
Go to bed at 2 a.m. and get up at 7 a.m., very regular! But now, he spends his sleeping time meditating, and he enjoys this feeling of tranquility.
Bang, bang... A small but clear knock on the door made him open his eyes and look at the door in confusion. It's so late, who is it?
Opening the door, Lanya, wearing pajamas, stood at the door with a nervous expression, as if she had encountered something.
"What's wrong?" Ringer asked.
"In my room," Lanya whispered,
"There were horrible bugs and I couldn't sleep in that room anymore."
"Insects?" Ringer was surprised.
"What kind of bugs?" This house is cleaned on time every day, every corner is cleaned, and professionals come regularly to remove bugs. It is unlikely that small things like bugs will appear.
That's why Ringer was surprised.
"It's black, flat, with two tentacles on its head, and it can fly. It almost fell on my face. It was so scary." Lanya said, covering her chest, with a still frightened expression.
"Cockroach?" As soon as Lanya described it, Ringer immediately knew who the bug in her mouth was. Unexpectedly, cockroaches can also appear in this kind of house.
Ringer couldn't help but marvel at the creature's adaptability. Cockroaches like a warm and humid environment. For them, this clean and bright mansion is not as good as a small shabby house in a slum area that is full of damp and musty smell, not to mention that it is regularly dewormed.
"It turns out that one is called a cockroach. The name sounds disgusting." Lanya said with a frown.
"Have you killed it?" Lanya lowered her head, playing with her clothes with her little gloves, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid of bugs, let alone bugs from another world, so I ran away immediately..."
"Let's go to your room and have a look." Ringer still couldn't believe that cockroaches would appear here. Lanya's room is right next to Ringer's room, separated by a wall, but the sound insulation effect is very good. Even if you shout loudly in the room, the next door will not hear it.
Ringer turned on the light, stood at the door, and scanned every corner of the room. The room is simply furnished, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a set of tables and chairs.
There is no peculiar smell in the room, but there is a faint fragrance, which is very similar to the fragrance of Lanya. Do cockroaches really like reading in such a clean and simple environment?
Ringer released his mental power, searched every corner of the room, and found a cockroach under the cabinet. It was very big, about the same size as an adult's thumb.
There really is one, and it's such a big one. Ringer remembered that sentence——
"When you see a cockroach appear in front of you, it means that there are thousands of cockroaches lurking around you, just out of sight..." So he expanded the search area, and his mental power covered the entire area. Every corner of the house cannot escape his search, even the inside of the sewer pipes and walls.
The sensory results made his scalp tingle. The cockroaches crowded in the sewer were like boiling oil, and it was almost full. Fortunately, the people living in this house had no need to excrete, otherwise the sewer would have been blocked long ago.
In addition, the scene inside the wall is also shocking, with the hollow wall almost being filled.
"This is impossible!" Lin Ge frowned deeply. Even in an underground residence in a slum, it is impossible to have so many cockroaches. It is almost like all the cockroaches in the nearby area have gathered here.
What do they eat here? There's no way there's enough food for such a large population of cockroaches to survive.
Another strange thing is that Ringer has never seen a cockroach in the kitchen. According to common sense, if there are so many cockroaches hiding in the house, even if there is only one brave individual among a thousand cockroaches, with such a huge number, the cockroach warriors will have a party in the kitchen.
But there wasn't one. They seemed to just hide quietly in the dark sewers and walls, never coming out to hang out.
Except for the one in Lanya's room. If it weren't for this naughty little one, Ringer would never have imagined that there was such a huge colony of cockroaches hiding under this glamorous mansion.
"Linge, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Linge being silent for a long time, Lanya asked him in a strange voice.
"It's nothing." If he told her now that there were countless cockroaches hidden in the house, Linge was worried that it would scare her, so he decided to wait until he went to the store after work before telling her.
After knowing this, she probably won't live here again.
"That cockroach is under the closet. Help me get rid of it." Lanya pointed to the bottom of the closet and said. Lin Ge nodded, raised his hand, and a ray of magic spread from his fingertips. The magic thread extended to the bottom of the cabinet and dragged the cockroach out.
Seeing the cockroach kicking and struggling in mid-air, Lanya quickly hid behind Ringer, holding onto his clothes tightly with a pair of small hands.
"Quick, throw it out."
"Throw it out and it may come back. Let's destroy it directly." A small flame appeared on Ringer's fingertips. It was as weak as a candlelight, but it had a high temperature that candlelight could not match. It was a magical flame.
Perhaps because Linger is a local, his magic power is not very suppressed, so he can use some simple magic, such as this fireball technique - of course it seems that it should be called flame technique now.
If it were Lanya, to achieve the same effect, the magic power consumed would be several times that of Ringer. The flames moved along the magic thread, and the cockroach floating towards the end was getting closer and closer.
Ringer thought that this cockroach would be burned to ashes in an instant by the magical flames from another world. However, when the flames enveloped it, nothing happened to it, not even one of its legs was burned.
It even became more energetic, its six serrated legs scraping through the air with energy.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ge was shocked. Lanya also opened her mouth wide, looked at the cockroach, and said: "Linge, this bug called 'cockroach' you are talking about must be a very rare and elite creature in your area, right?" At this time, something happened again. , the cockroach actually bit off Ringer's magic thread, fell to the ground, moved its six legs together, and crawled under the bed very quickly.
But Ringer also reacted quickly, and even faster. Snapped! He stepped forward and stepped down, and there was a popping sound from the sole of his foot.
Lanya stared at the foot that Lin Ge stepped out, covering her mouth with both hands, her stomach churning. This room - I can't live in it anymore!
