Soon, Black Crow realized that he could only move around on this floor. The other doors couldn't be opened and he couldn't go up to the second floor. There was an invisible force field around the wooden spiral staircase that prevented him from getting close.
He Qing was still on her guard. Black Crow was giving her too much pressure. Come to think of it, other than fear, she actually felt a tinge of excitement.
Because she was sure that this wasn't the Jade Dragon Kingdom's palace.
Her wish had finally come true. She had left the birdcage that was the palace and entered the outside world. Although the current situation was a little strange, she knew that she had to rely on herself now.
"He Qing, you can do it!" He Qing clenched her tiny fists, cheering herself on.
Once again, the dangerous man in black's gaze landed on her. He Qing immediately said, "I don't know where this place is either. Just like you, I came in from door number five. I think whoever it is that has the ability to bring us here must have a motive. Who knows, they might be spying on us from somewhere right now."
Her way of survival was to divert attention.
After all, He Qing was a princess, the seventh princess of the Jade Dragon Kingdom. Although she had a wild and unruly personality, she was far more intelligent than most of her peers. She had always been number one in strategy classes for the royal family. After calmly analyzing the situation earlier, she knew that the biggest threat wasn't the mysterious owner of this place but the man in black.
Diverting his attention was the smartest thing to do.
Sure enough, Black Crow's expression changed slightly. His initial thought of interrogating the man was stifled. Instead, he retreated and leaned against the wall, waiting quietly.
'Smart choice, 'He Qing thought. With the current situation unclear, preserving her strength and observing the situation was the best option.
The two didn't speak and deliberately kept their distance. They didn't know what they were waiting for but there was nothing else they could do.
After a while, there was a commotion in the room. The only metal door on the second floor creaked as it was pushed open.
He Qing and Black Crow's attention was immediately drawn to it as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Jin was finally done with his work. In fact, he had only used a short amount of time. The appraisal process was so simple that it took him some time to write the evaluation report.
Fortunately, it was done in about an hour.
Once everything was ready, he once again entered the Museum of Deadly Beasts' Visitation Hall.
He wanted to know what this place was for.
However, when he pushed open the door, he was startled.
There was actually someone on the first floor.
His first reaction was to retreat. How could there be people in the Museum of Deadly Beasts?
That was impossible.
However, just as Lin Jin took a step back, he stopped.
He suddenly remembered the words on the back of the wooden sign that said 'Curator'.
"The Mysterious Heaven Miraculous Art, the universe changes, the people with special talents, the fated guests …"
Fated guests?
This was the Beast Visitation Hall, so didn't that mean these people were visitors?
Lin Jin stopped in his tracks, calmed himself down, and studied the people below.
If these people were guests, then he was the host. Since this was his territory, what was there to be afraid of?
Lin Jin thought his analysis made sense.
Moreover, this Visitation Hall was one of the Museum of Deadly Beasts' rewards so there must be something special about it. Although Lin Jin thought this reward was mediocre, he decided to take a look first.
As Lin Jin observed the people below, they too were observing him. No one spoke. The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
He Qing looked puzzled. She was young and straightforward, so her curiosity was like a cat scratching at her heart. Finally, she couldn't help but break the silence. "Did you kidnap us here?"
Black Crow wanted to know the answer to this question as well.
Kidnap?
The gears in Lin Jin's head began turning. He had been systematically considering the current situation. 'Look, there are people in this room. They either came here on their own accord, or they were forced here. As for the possibility that they were originally from the museum, that has been ruled out. '
From the girl's words, Lin Jin knew that they were 'forced' to come here.
In other words, if it wasn't him, then it was the Museum of Deadly Beasts itself.
Be it voluntarily or passively, since they were here, according to the museum, they were 'guests'. As the host, Lin Jin obviously had to treat them well.
Hence, after some thought, Lin Jin coughed and said, "Welcome, all three of you."
Very polite, right?
Unbeknownst to him, He Qing and Black Crow's expressions changed. Because there were only the two of them and their pet beasts in the hall on the first floor. How could there be a third person?
Black Crow's eyes darted around as if he had thought of something. He Qing, on the other hand, was startled. She looked around and said, "You're such a strange person. There's only the two of us here so why did you say three guests are welcome? What do you mean? Also, what's that thing on your face? Why does it look like a cloud of black mist? "
Lin Jin raised an eyebrow, musing, 'You're the strange one. There are three of you down there and there's nothing on my face.'
At this, Lin Jin touched his face.
Indeed, there was nothing on his face.
However, judging from the girl's reaction, she didn't seem like she was deliberately causing trouble.
It was then that Lin Jin noticed that other than the well-dressed girl and the black-clothed man who was pretending to be cool, the third person had been standing relatively far away. Furthermore, the pet beast perched on his shoulder looked like a chameleon no matter how he looked at it.
Also, when Lin Jin said three guests were welcome, the one who reacted the most and looked the most shocked was this person.
It was as if someone had discovered his secret.
Perhaps to answer Lin Jin's doubts, three streams of light surged out from the three pet beasts and materialized into three specimens before Lin Jin.
These were the detailed appraisal results of the three pet beasts.
Clearly, if the pet beasts entered the museum, Lin Jin didn't have to touch them and they could be recorded for appraisal. There were no secrets to speak of. However, the three people down there acted as if they didn't see this phenomenon.
Hence, Lin Jin had reason to believe that as' visitors', their 'authority' in the museum was limited.
As a transmigrator, Lin Jin's ability to accept and understand certain things definitely surpassed the natives of this world. For example, he had a strong understanding of 'visitor authority'.
So far, it seemed like the visitors couldn't see the strange phenomenon in the museum. And according to the girl, there was a cloud of black mist on his face.
In other words, they couldn't see what he looked like.
Lin Jin was secretly delighted. In other words, no matter how surprised or happy he was right now, no one could see it.
He looked at the three pet beasts recorded in the museum. Tsk tsk, amazing, amazing. Not a single one of them was average. They were all rare species with hidden bloodlines.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Lin Jin's mind. He lowered his voice and said,
"Although the tetrawinged butterfly dragon is only Rank 2, it has great potential. If everything goes well, it could even evolve into Rank 5, or even … Rank 6 in a few years. But for now, it's the weakest among the three of you."
"This black falcon, on the other hand, is quite impressive. It's currently a Rank 4 pet beast, the strongest among the three. It's a pity that its potential isn't as good as the butterfly dragon."
"And the heterochromatic dragon, a Rank 3 pet beast. Average, but its ability is quite impressive. Not only can it blend in with its surroundings, but it can also turn its owner invisible too …"
Now that he knew he had the upper hand, Lin Jin had no worries. He now understood the purpose of the Visitation Hall. At least one of its functions was to increase the number of rare beasts recorded.
Of course, the Visitation Hall's function wasn't limited to just that.
Lin Jin had purposely read out the appraisal results of the three pet beasts to establish his' authority '.
Just by looking at their pet beasts, it was obvious that none of them were ordinary people.
