My two-dimensional resident

The expert guide for Chapter 9 is very useful.

Kikyo, the priestess, was born with the responsibility of protecting and purifying the Shikon Jewel, a precious treasure in the world of Inuyasha. She used her innate spiritual power and masterful archery skills to defeat one demon after another who coveted the Shikon Jewel. She is the first love and the woman Inuyasha loves most.

Later, Kikyo and Inuyasha's love was discovered by her secret admirer, Onigumo. His love turned to hatred, and he ordered the demons to devour him, giving birth to the new demon Naraku. Naraku inherited Onigumo's will and began to sow discord between Kikyo and Inuyasha, causing them to misunderstand each other.

This led to a falling out between the two. Kikyo believed that Inuyasha approached her for the Shikon Jewel, so she sealed Inuyasha away. After being seriously injured, she instructed her sister Kaede to burn her body and the Shikon Jewel, and soon after, she passed away.

But this is not the end of Kikyo's tragedy. Five hundred years later, when the heroine Kagome Higurashi travels back to the Sengoku period to search for the Shikon Jewel with Inuyasha, she encounters an evil witch named Rito. Rito steals Kikyo's spirit bones and uses an evil secret technique to extract a small part of Kagome Higurashi's soul, thus reviving Kikyo.

After being resurrected and learning the truth about what happened back then, Kikyo embarks on a solitary journey to defeat Naraku. At the same time, she also eliminates the demons causing havoc...

To save the life of an innocent villager, he resolutely stepped into Naraku's trap...

......

After the final battle, Kikyo, with Inuyasha's tearful kiss, finally became the ordinary woman she had always wanted to be, and smiled as she turned into light and departed.

This is the tragic fate of the priestess Kikyo!

From resurrection to death, he gradually purified himself from a simple, resentful soul. His heart was free from the resentment caused by the injustice of fate, the jealousy caused by Kagome's confidante, and the strong possessiveness towards Inuyasha.

In the end, she came to terms with her fate and chose self-sacrifice, thus achieving true redemption for her tragic life...

"My name is Lin Tian, ​​and I am the owner of this island. You are very welcome to come and live on my island! Although you didn't say how you got here, that's no longer important."

This is no longer the world you know, nor is it the world of the dead as you perceive it. Therefore, you can forget all the unpleasant memories of your past and live happily here.

Although Kikyo was in a spirit state at this time, she was still a "person" that Lin Tian was familiar with, so no matter how she got here, Lin Tian welcomed her very much.

More people mean more companionship and more happiness!

Lin Tian, ​​who is familiar with Kikyo, hopes that she can stay on this island forever, face the future, and embrace a wonderful life.

Kikyo sensed no malice or spiritual power from Lin Tian, ​​so she lowered her guard. After listening to Lin Tian's words, she pondered for a while, then looked up at Lin Tian and nodded, agreeing with him.

"I don't think I have any reason to leave here. Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I was just wondering why I couldn't sense any spiritual energy. It turns out this is no longer my world."

If it weren't for Lin Tian's explanation, Kikyo would have thought this was the world of the dead, wondering why the records she had seen about the world of the dead were so different from this place.

The scenery here is beautiful and the sunshine is abundant. It doesn't feel like a world of the dead at all; it's more like a divine kingdom.

"Haha, you'll definitely like this place once you stay here a long time. Um, I need to catch a scorpion. If you're interested, you can come with me."

Kikyo has agreed to live on his island, so Lin Tian doesn't plan to talk to her anymore. He has more important things to do now and can't forget about the 8000 bells just because the new resident is Kikyo.

Kikyo was somewhat taken aback when Lin Tian invited her to go scorpion hunting. One second he was welcoming her, and the next he was inviting her to go scorpion hunting... Although Kikyo lived in ancient times, she knew that some villagers would go to the mountains to catch poisonous creatures to sell to pharmacies for a living.

But Lin Tian just said he's the island owner, so he shouldn't be short of money... So why is he catching scorpions?

Is it some kind of fetish of his?

Although she didn't understand, her good education as a priestess made it impossible for her to utter any disrespectful words.

Most importantly, she could feel that this place severely restricted her; she could not use her spiritual power, nor could she appear in the sunlight.

Right now, she's just an ordinary soul.

Kikyo stared intently at Lin Tian with her dark eyes, trying to discern whether the man before her was lying to her. But after looking at him for a long time, she found that Lin Tian's expression was full of sincerity.

"Um... I'm sorry, Lin Tian! Unfortunately, my current soul state cannot be exposed to sunlight. So just let me know when you catch it."

"Okay, I'll go now! I'll come back to you after I catch the scorpion! If you want to hear more songs, I can sing for you!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he ignored Kikyo's reaction and turned to run towards his tent!

An hour has passed since the scorpion was spotted, and Lin Tian has to speed up to prevent it from disappearing.

"Not only is his clothing strange, but his behavior is too. What a strange man, but he didn't lie to me! Interesting..."

Watching Lin Tian's retreating figure, Kikyo's eyes revealed a strange light. She muttered to herself about his odd behavior and silently followed behind him.

She is currently in the forest, and as long as she avoids the beams of light filtering through the leaves, she can theoretically move freely here.

Lin Tian, ​​who was focused on quickly catching scorpions to exchange for money, was completely unaware of Kikyo behind him. Thus, the two of them, one human and one soul, swiftly traversed the forest.

"Haha, you're still here! Don't wander off, I'll come find you after I finish digging the hole!"

Upon arriving at the open space, Lin Tian immediately spotted the scorpion circling his tent. To avoid alerting it, he decided to start digging a hole in the open space south of the tent.

Lin Tian carefully approached a spot about ten meters south of the tent, took out a simple shovel from his backpack, and began digging eleven holes in the shape of the Chinese character "王" (wang).

Hiding under the tree, Kikyo saw Lin Tian digging a hole in the open space and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"Wasn't he catching scorpions? Why did he suddenly dig a hole? The scorpion is right there; he could have just gone and caught it. What strange behavior..."

Although Kikyo, who lived during the Warring States period, did not have to do such "lowly" work for a living, she had seen how some villagers caught scorpions.

Villagers usually find rocks where scorpions like to hide, lift the rocks, and then, when the scorpion isn't looking, use two thin wooden sticks to clamp it down. Some bolder people simply grab the scorpion by its tail...

But this was the first time Kikyo had ever seen Lin Tian's method of digging a pit to catch scorpions.

She shook her head, preparing to carefully observe how Lin Tian used so many pits to catch that scorpion.

Chapter Ten: I've heard that soaking the Five Poisons in alcohol is very nourishing for the body; those who know, know. (Please add to your favorites, invest, and recommend!)

Under Kikyo's watchful gaze, Lin Tian put the makeshift shovel back into his backpack, then took out a simple insect net. Step by step, he slowly crept towards the scorpion.

"He has internet access, so why did he need to dig a hole? Isn't that redundant?"

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly pull out an insect net, Kikyo rested her chin on one hand, frowning deeply, indicating that she didn't understand.

"Good, don't move! Just keep your butt facing me! Don't move!"

Lin Tian, ​​holding the insect net in both hands, had already walked to within two meters of the scorpion. The scorpion, which had been moving aimlessly, was now standing still, seemingly eating something.

Because Lin Tian was currently behind it and within its blind spot, it was completely unaware that danger was approaching when Lin Tian stealthily moved to within a meter of it.

"A great opportunity!"

When Lin Tian reached the area where the insect net could catch the scorpion, the scorpion was still unaware of his arrival. Seeing that the time was perfect, Lin Tian swiftly and decisively swung the insect net and pounced on the scorpion.

As the scorpion was about to be caught in the net, a smile began to appear on Lin Tian's face.

Just as the insect net had covered half of the scorpion's body, in a flash, this scorpion, which had one foot in hell, miraculously escaped the net with a movement technique that Lin Tian couldn't understand, successfully avoiding his capture!

"hiss!"

"Damn it! He dodged it! I'd better run!"

After dodging Lin Tian's first attempt to capture it, the scorpion turned around, raised its proud pincers, and roared at Lin Tian.

It's as if it's saying, "Kid! You've messed with me! If I don't sting you until you're covered in welts, I'm not the boss of this area!"

As the demonstration ended, the scorpion charged toward Lin Tian with an uncanny speed.

But Lin Tian was prepared. As soon as it turned around, Lin Tian turned and ran towards the "King" character pit.

Just as Kikyo was thinking that Lin Tian should have caught the scorpion with the swing of his insect net, the situation changed in an instant, with the roles of attacker and defender reversed, leaving her dumbfounded.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that an ordinary scorpion could have the speed of an adult running at full speed.

"No way, have all the scorpions here become monsters? They're so fast! But I didn't sense a trace of demonic energy from them."

Just as Kikyo was wondering, Lin Tian had already run to the upper left of the "three horizontal lines and one vertical line" of the "king" shaped pit he had prepared for the scorpion. He took a step and jumped over the pit that served as the "vertical line", turned around and raised the insect net, focusing all his attention on the scorpion that was about to catch up.

"Just like the game mechanics!"

As the scorpion chased into a notch in the upper left of the "three horizontal lines and one vertical line" character, just as Lin Tian had expected, the scorpion actually stopped, swayed its body a few times, and tried to go around to attack Lin Tian through the three holes representing the "horizontal line" above the character "王".

But how could Lin Tian give it that chance! He quickly realized that the reason he failed to catch it the first time was because there was a slight deviation in the direction when he swung the insect net.

So this time he adjusted his direction and, just as the scorpion was about to turn around, swung his insect net at it.

Drop! Hold on!

While the scorpion was struggling, Lin Tian swung the insect net back and forth a few times, causing the scorpion's body to become entangled in the net.

With that, Lin Tian felt relieved and flipped the insect net 180 degrees, pulling the scorpion in the net to his face.

His gaze was fixed on the struggling scorpion, and he silently uttered the word "put it in." The scorpion vanished into thin air before his very eyes.

The next second, the scorpion appeared in his inventory, occupying a slot all by itself.

"Great! My first pot of gold is in hand!"

Having personally experienced and successfully caught the scorpion, Lin Tian laughed heartily.

This feeling reminded him of the sense of accomplishment he felt when he first took a road trip from the starting point to the destination of Highway 318.

"Now, I have 8000 Bells. It's time to go and pick up the next mission with Klein."

However, before returning to the plaza, I think I should fill up the remaining slots in my pack and sell them to Little Bean later! I seem to remember that after the first day of the party, Little Bean asked me for a lot of money, like more than 40,000 Bells.

"Since it's still early, I'll catch a few more insects!"

With that thought in mind, Lin Tian pulled himself out of his thoughts, put the insect net, which had only lost one point of durability, into his backpack, and headed into the woods.

As for the "King" shaped pit he dug, he didn't plan to bury it. The reason was simple: a scorpion had already spawned there, which meant that this was one of the scorpion spawning locations. As long as the next scorpion spawned, he could continue to use the "King" shaped pit to catch scorpions.

"By the way, the map Xiao Ke gave me is still in the tent. If nothing unexpected happens, I can upload it to my phone."

Lin Tian hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly remembered that he had a map app on his phone, but when he clicked on it, it showed that he needed to upload data.

Remembering that the map Xiao Ke had given him was still in the tent, he decided to try to upload the map's information to his phone.

"Map data detected. Please place the map data on the back of your phone, open the map app, and upload it!"

Lin Tian had just entered the tent and hadn't even had a chance to pick up the map when his phone gave him a mental notification. Seeing that his guess was completely correct, he immediately went to his sleeping bag and picked up the map.

Then he took out his phone, opened the map app, and placed the phone on the map. A button to upload data popped up on the screen, and Lin Tian clicked it with his index finger without hesitation.

"Data upload begins!"

......

"Data upload complete! The host can use the map to view their location..."

After the map data was uploaded, the map that Xiao Ke gave him, like the previous tool creation diagram, turned into blue dots and disappeared.

At this moment, the top quarter of the map app's screen displayed two profile pictures, one male and one female. Lin Tian immediately recognized the man as himself, and the woman as Kikyo, whom he had just invited to become a resident.

In the center of the image is an aerial view of the adorable Rabbit Island. In the center of the image is a tent-shaped marker representing the tent that Lin Tian set up in the morning. This marker is covered with a small flashing arrow, representing Lin Tian entering the tent.

Besides Lin Tian's tent structure marker on the map, there is another gray area with a black and white tent marker in this area.

It was located directly to the west of Lin Tian's tent. Without even thinking about it, Lin Tian knew that this was Xiao Ke and his group's tent "service area," the future office hall.
