"Waaaaaaa! What is going on? Mom!"
While hearing Ranjeet shrill screaming, Henry felt that he was free falling.
He ignored Ranjeet's screaming and started to count down with his eyes closed.
"One thousand six hundred and ninety-seven!"
The gravity suddenly came back to Henry.
Henry still had his eyes closed. He was trying to remember the direction they had gone. During the thirty minutes of free fall, Henry sensed that the direction was changed seven times, so it was very hard for him to pinpoint their route.
Ranjeet was still screaming.
Henry shook his head. He stood up and pushed the door open.
The moment the door was open, sunshine hit Henry's face.
On the other side of the door, the cobbler was still sitting behind the counter and mending shoes.
Ranjeet's screaming suddenly stopped. He stood up and followed Henry.
Looking around, Ranjeet asked disappointedly, "Is this the European roller-coaster? Why does it have to be in a room?"
Henry looked around in confusion. He thought he would walk into a different place, in Recluse World even. But judging by what he saw, Henry was wrong.
Henry walked out of the shoe shop. Ranjeet took out a sandwich from his pocket and started to eat. He also took out his cell phone but found out there was no signal.
Ranjeet heard someone was talking.
He looked up. Because the language was not Yan Xia's language, Ranjeet didn't understand what the person was saying.
But Henry was stunned because he could understand the language.
"I got a piece of Demonic Beast's internal core! The spirit was still on it!"
Demonic beast!
Demonic beasts were the name used by the residents of Recluse Association's micro-worlds. It meant the experimental creatures created by Alvin League.
Henry took a look at the cobbler. The cobbler pointed at the room in the back and said without looking at Henry, "Go back and get changed. I assume you the rules."
Henry looked at the clothes he had bought and went back to the room.
A few minutes later, Henry and Ranjeet had changed.
Henry was wearing a generic Han costume. There was nothing special about the fabric.
On the other hand, Ranjeet was wearing a white silk robe that didn't match his personality at all. To wrap the robe around his belly, Ranjeet had to pick a very large size. So the sleeves were very long and large on Ranjeet.
Henry and Ranjeet walked out after changing. Ranjeet was surprised by what he was seeing.
