How to Make Use of Phantom Objects

The shout of "Get down!" was perfectly timed. Ultimately, these soldiers were just there for a paycheck; there was no need for them to risk their lives. Seeing the grenade, they scrambled for cover. Meanwhile, Feng Xue had already reached the Golden Cabinet. Without even picking through the contents, she dumped them directly into a large white burlap sack.

Name: Phantom Object - Santa's Wrapping Cloth

Elements: [Storage], [Containment], [Transportation], [Durability], [Sturdiness], [Safety]

Description: Santa Claus's gift bag, which allows him to take out any items he wants. Although everything seems to be randomly thrown inside, the items always remain intact no matter how much jostling they cause.

Note: Eight-pointed corners!

This cloth bundle was yet another failed attempt by Feng Xue to create Storage Item, but since Feng Xue carried it with her, it wasn't just because it could only be used as a sack.

As the Golden Cabinet returned to its original form as a card, Feng Xue, without any lingering hope, put the sack over her head and rushed towards the door.

While this thing is undoubtedly quite useless as Storage Item, with only the ability to retrieve items according to thought, if you look at it from another angle and use it as a bulletproof vest, it would be a magical artifact.

The attribute of "guaranteeing the contents to remain intact no matter what" may seem like just a description, but what if you consider yourself as the contents?

After Feng Xue refined this thing, she tested it on Black-Coated ATM. As long as a person was put inside, no matter how hard they were beaten from the outside, or even with a knife or a crowbar, it would not cause any damage to the person inside. Of course, the pain would still be the same.

However, there are limitations. This thing can only protect its contents. If you use it as a lining pad in front of your chest, it's just a regular soft bulletproof vest, no different from other Phantom Object clothing.

At this moment, Feng Xue was like a boy who was too lazy to dress up for Halloween, so he simply put on a bed sheet to pretend to be a ghost. He rushed towards the door with a burlap sack over his head. Although there was no view inside the burlap sack and even the sound could only come from under his feet, the connection between the door and the sack was like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding him on his way.

At full sprint, the twenty-meter distance was covered in just a few seconds. However, just as Feng Xue tried to pick up the toy grenade that should be nearby, a series of shots hit the bundle.

The pain, like a small hammer hitting his knee, traveled through the cloth and acted on his body. Although he was protected by the pillar of magical power and was not harmed, Feng Xue still felt a strong sense of fear, a biological instinct to resist pain.

However, he knew very well that the soldiers had probably realized that if he didn't charge now, he would be captured again soon.

The cloth covering was only to prevent damage to the contents, but it didn't prevent the contents from being torn off. As for killing them all... Feng Xue's internal strength hadn't reached the point where she could use a knife to withstand a gun.

Clenching his teeth, Feng Xue endured the pain and rushed towards the door. Although he felt something blocking his way, he didn't care at all. He exerted force with his legs, and his Internal Force rose from the Chongmen acupoint, flowing along the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian to the Yinbai acupoint.

In an instant, Feng Xue felt a force rising from the soles of her feet, making the interceptor in front of her no match at all. The last two meters were covered in one fell swoop, and Feng Xue grasped the doorknob through the cloth.

The "door" that connects the world is more of an image, a channel woven from the concept and information of real doors. Once established, it is no longer limited by the real door itself. Even if the door is still there, or even if the door frame is dismantled, as long as you arrive here, as long as you reach out your hand, you can naturally grasp the thing that represents the opening of the door.

With a forceful pull, a mysterious sensation unfolded in Feng Xue's mind. As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he leaped forward, taking the "obstacle" that was blocking his way with him, and slipped through the doorway...

A feeling of breaking through a barrier surged through him in an instant, but he felt no sense of relief, because he knew very well that the other side of the door was not a paradise either.

Without hesitation, she rolled on the spot, spinning several times before Feng Xue freeing herself from the bundle. She had practiced this escape move dozens of times in private, and the whole process was so smooth and fluid that it was almost like a performance.

However, he himself did not think so at all. As he was freed from the bundle, the Disassembly Madonna was already in his hands.

Only then did he see the scene before him clearly. He saw a man dressed in full tactical gear being pinned to the ground by a group of thugs.

"Dude, you haven't been back for so long, we thought you were dead inside!" Blondie he hadn't seen in a while, greeted Feng Xue casually, seeing her wary expression. However, Feng Xue showed no sign of relaxing, carrying the package containing the large number of books he had brought back from the real world, ready to use her Ghostly Evasion skill at any moment.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Although we're all in the same boat since we just got back, the high walls haven't been raised yet. The Residential Area gentry won't come over until the Landfill Area is truly completed."

Seeing Feng Xue's wary posture, Blondie simply smiled and waved to the people around him. Everyone tacitly made way for Feng Xue, giving her enough time to adjust.

Feng Xue took a deep breath, her eyes scanning her surroundings. Finding little different from when she left, she picked up her bag and tossed it behind her, saying:

"Looks like you've had quite a haul?"

"That's right. Although it was a bit dangerous, at the very least, those who made it back have become [rumors]. Thanks to you, I've also gotten a glimpse of [strange tales]. If I didn't not understand their language, I might already be a real [strange tale]."

"..." Listening to Blondie's words, Feng Xue memorized the two words "strange tales" and "rumors" that seemed to be related to the level of Weird Tale, intending to call Old Li to ask about them later. Then she turned to look at the soldier who had been tied up like a piglet and said:

"Is this guy even useful? He shouldn't be able to open the door, right?"

"Hmm, no, but if you follow him, you can also go into reality through that door, just like when you brought him here." The Blondie's eyes clearly held a strong sense of malice as he looked at the soldier.

"I plan to properly digest this gain, and once I've accumulated another batch of [knowledge], I intend to go back and slaughter those bastards! I was originally wondering how much it would cost to obtain the access pass for this door, but you just happened to bring it back."

Hearing the Blondie casually claim the real person as his for the taking, Feng Xue frowned slightly but didn't refute him. Although the Blondie hadn't attacked her, he didn't seem to have any intention of making friends either. Thinking of this, Feng Xue smiled and said:

"Then I wish you good luck."

Having said that, without waiting for the Blondie to say anything more, he grabbed the cloak with both hands and brought it to his chest, instantly disappearing into the shadows...
