    Chapter 30 Qimen Dunjia

    Wu You originally followed Yang Erci and Josh to find clues in an office on the first floor.

    This office is bigger than he imagined, and it is a suite inside and outside. Originally, he wanted to see if there was any available information, but there was too much information. He couldn't figure out why there were so many useless paper documents in the digital age. .

    While complaining in my heart, a strange bell came from outside the door.

    Very crisp.

    The bell rang repeatedly, and it was getting closer and closer. Wu You felt strange, so he put down the information in his hand and walked out of the room.

    I don't know if it's the building itself, or the closed state caused by the so-called security system breakdown. There is no window in this containment center.

    Wu You came to the door defensively, but he didn't go out immediately, thinking that maybe the NPC in this game was doing something wrong. Hearing the source of the ringtone clearly, planning the escape route, and being prepared to shout at all times for Yang Erci and Josh to escape, Wu You finally turned his head to the side and looked at the source of the sound, which was his right hand.

    It turned out that the unruly Taoist priest...

    A false alarm.

    The Taoist smiled, "Little boy, why are you so disappointed?"

    He was wearing a strange work uniform, but he held a copper bell in his hand. The upper end of the bell was a handle in the shape of a "mountain", and a strange totem was carved on the bell.

    "Why are you ringing the bell?" The defensiveness on Wu You's face remained undiminished. He never thought that the Taoist priest was a good person, "Where did the bell come from?"

    "Of course I brought it in myself." The Taoist still smiled and shook the bell in his hand again, "This is called the Sanqing bell, which is an important instrument of our Taoist school. The "Taiqing Jade Book" says: 'Taoist The so-called hand-held imperial bell, throwing fire thousands of miles, and flowing bells and eight rushes is also..."

    Wu You only thought that he was nonsense and didn't want to answer, so he turned his head and walked to the left side of the corridor. But the Taoist priest was unrelenting and followed behind him, waving the bell in his hand regularly as he walked.

    "Don't underestimate our Sanqing bell, this is a great tool for exorcising demons and warding off demons. Is the sound of this bell particularly clear and pleasant, but in the ears of those evil spirits, this sound can torment kill them."

    He didn't know if he could torture the evil spirit Wu You to death, he only knew that he was about to be tortured to death by this long-winded Taoist priest.

    Forget it, find an excuse to throw him away when you get to the corner.

    Just chatting like this, Nan Shan chased Wu You all the way almost like a duck. Walking and walking, Wu You stopped.

    His expression was a little puzzled, staring forward and then looking back.

    "What's wrong?" Nan Shan shook the bell in his hand again.

    Wu You didn't speak, and tried to take a few steps forward again, and even ran.

    Nan Shan also followed him and ran forward, but after a while, Wu You stopped again and turned to look back.

    "Didn't you find something wrong?" Wu You asked Nan Shan.

    Nan Shan did not speak, and shook the bell again.

    Wu You said to himself: "The 'corner' ahead can't be reached... No matter how long it takes, it just stays in the state of 'coming soon'."

    A very mysterious smile appeared on Nan Shan's face.

    "You're very smart, you found out so quickly."

    He put his hands behind his back, and his tone was still the same as before.

    "We have a word in China, it's called ghost hitting the wall, which means that you are going in circles no matter how you walk." He shrugged, "I just rang the bell just because I walked around the corner and realized something was wrong."

    Nan Shan also looked back and said to Wu You, "No matter how many steps I take, there is always a corner behind me."

    Wu You frowned.

    "But your bell can't crack this ghost hit the wall."

    Nan Shan smiled, "Indeed, but I pulled you in." He shrugged, "Before you saw me, I had been here by myself for at least half an hour."

    Hearing this, Wu You's heart froze.

    "No one is with you? I clearly saw you with Brother Wu Jiu before."

    "Wu blame...brother?" Nan Shan was surprised by this title, thinking that this little brother is a cold virtue to everyone.

    "Oh yes, originally we were working on a safe evacuation route map. Later, we were surprised that there was no elevator or stairs on this map. How to get upstairs became a big problem, so we planned to find the stairs and exit separately." Nan Shan slowly shook his head, "But that green-eyed guy doesn't seem to like me very much, so he won't let me go with An Wujiu."

    When Wu You heard it, an expression of "I knew it" appeared on his face.

    "He said he was afraid of ghosts and needed someone to accompany him. I said I was an exorcist, and he said that he would have nightmares when he saw the ball head." Nan Shan touched the bun on the top of her head, "What a strange person. what."

    "He's like that." Wu You said.

    It's already like this, it seems that they can only get out of this corridor with ghosts. He thought for a while, and said to this Taoist priest who was not much more reliable than Shen Ti: "Is there any way to crack the ghost?"

    "There is, but there is." Nan Shan turned forward with his hands behind his back, and then turned around, "If the ghost hitting the wall, if it is not a spatial illusion, it cannot be ruled out that there is a possibility of evil beings. You can make a game and break it with a certain degree of certainty.”

    "Originally, I was too lazy to use it just now."

    Wu You frowned, "Is there a way? What do you think?"

    This strange priest.

    "I usually get bored with these metaphysical spells. When I enter the game, I have to chant a spell." Nan Shan looked at him with a smile. "Besides, I was the only one just now, how boring it was to cast spells, and there was no audience."

    Wu You's face collapsed.

    And the audience...

    Do you think your peacock is on the screen?

    "Besides, the conditions here are limited." Nan Shan paused, stretched a hand to his back, and touched it for a long time.

    Wu You stared at him.

    Don't tell me you're tickling.

    Fortunately, Nanshan finally pulled out one thing from the back, which was a long sword carved from wood.

    "It's a pity that I couldn't bring in the first-class peach wood sword, and I only brought one that I carved to deceive children. I don't know how it will work."

    Wu You: "...Are you really a serious Taoist priest?"

    "Of course, I'm a decent son of a famous family." Nan Shan blew on the Taomu sword, then slowly took out a yellow talisman and looked left and right.

    "At this speed, can we catch the ghost before we die?"

    "Don't worry, don't worry."

    Nan Shan walked towards the empty corridor two or three meters away from Wu You, stopped in the middle of the road, and drew a nine-square grid on the ground with the wooden sword.

    What Wu You didn't expect was that this seemingly tattered sword with no magic weapon style could draw a black line on the ground out of thin air.

    Immediately afterwards, Nanshan filled in the numbers in the nine-square grid, but the way of filling in the numbers seemed to have no regularity and order.

    4_9_2

    3_5_7

    8_1_6

    Nanshan stood facing Jiugongge, and threw the yellow talisman into the air, the yellow paper fluttered and stayed in front of Nanshan, suspended in the air.

    This time, Wu You believed that this guy was not a Taoist priest.

    But the next second he was even more confused.

    Why is Taoist magic still effective in a virtual game like the altar?

    Shouldn't this capability be impossible to achieve?

    Or, the altar is not just a virtual game in his imagination...

    While he was thinking, he heard Nan Shan say something.

    "The disciple is disturbed."

    I saw his peach wood sword fly out of his hand, circled the ceiling a few times, and then dived straight down.

    "Southeast." The smile on Nan Shan's face disappeared, and it became rare and serious.

    The voice fell, and the diving mahogany sword flew above the number 6.

    With one hand behind his back and the other palm placed in front of his chest, he recited a mantra: "I would like to pay my respects to the Six Ding Jade Maiden Zhenjun at the gate of heaven, paint the earth bureau, go out of the gate of heaven, enter the earth's door, close the golden gate and ride the jade chariot, Jade Girl, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Gouchen, Snake, Liuhe, Liujia God, God King and God General, ride on me, walk to a certain place, patrol left and right..."

    While he was reading, the peach wood sword drew lines on the ground in a certain order, and the red lines penetrated the numbers in each palace.

    6-7-8-9-5-1-2-3-4-5

    "The gentleman is very happy to see me..."

    On the 5th palace, which is the central palace, the Taomu sword stayed for a few seconds.

    There seemed to be an evil wind in the nine palaces, and the peach wood sword shook, swaying in the air three inches from the ground.

    The broken hair next to Nan Shan's face flew up, and the distance was only two or three meters. Across the nine palaces from him, Wu You felt that there was no wind.

    Two seconds later, Nan Shan said the last sentence coldly.

    "A hundred evil thieves and ghosts, those who see me will die."

    Taomu Jian regained its stability and moved from the stagnant 5th house to the first 6th house.

    With a loud bang, a golden light flashed in the nine palaces, and then disappeared.

    Wu You, who frowned to avoid the light, turned his face, looked at the ground where Jiugong was once painted, turned his head again, and looked around.

    "Did you make it?"

    The Taomu Sword was now back in Nanshan's hands. He held the sword on his back and walked in the direction they were going.

    "It's hard to say." He returned to his frivolous and unreliable tone, "Let's go and have a look."

    Wu You had no choice but to follow behind him. They continued to move forward. The more they walked, the more Wu You felt that it was still the same as before, as if there was no difference, and it was still in the place near the corner.

    It's just that he feels that the temperature is not so low, and even a little hot.

    As he walked, Nan Shan, who started at the head, stopped, stretched out a hand, and pressed it against the wall.

    "What's the matter with you?" Wu You saw that he was acting strangely, so he followed him and reached out to touch the wall just like him.

    Very hot.

    He took his hand away, "Why is the wall here so hot."

    "This is the source of that weirdness." Nan Shan pasted the spell on the wall. The strange thing was that when the spell was turned into ashes, a fan appeared out of thin air. steel door.

    It is the same material as the door of the room they encountered before.

    The only difference is that there is a display screen on this door, which shows a nine-square grid.

    "This is what you became?"

    Nanshan shook her head slightly.

    It was brought here on purpose.

    He stretched out his index finger and swiped lightly on the blade of the peach wood sword, and he actually made an incision and blood gushed out. With blood, Nan Shan continuously drew on the screen in the order of the nine palaces of Fangcai's anti-closing game.

    A centrosymmetric blood line diagram is presented above the Nine Houses.

    The door suddenly opened inward. With only one crack in the door, Wu You was about to be burned by the hot air gushing out from inside. A strong smell of burning protein made him cough.

    Nan Shan pulled him behind her, "Be careful."

    Wu You, who was avoiding the heat, accidentally glanced at the display screen on the door just now, and found that it was no longer a nine-square grid, and the blood was gone, but a new line of words appeared.

    [Welcome back, E07.]

    Is this...

    Where Nanshan characters work.

    "You're E07, right?"

    "yes."

    Suddenly, Nan Shan and Wu You raised their hands and touched their ears at the same time, because they suddenly heard a beep, and the words they said to each other after that seemed to overlap inexplicably in their ears, which was very strange.

    Wu You turned his head and saw that there was a black dot on Nan Shan's auricle. He reached out and touched it, "It looks like something like a microphone."

    Nan Shan also saw it on Wu You's auricle.

    He reached out and tapped the raised dot on his auricle twice in a row, and found that the overlap disappeared. "Because we are near each other, there is an overlap after connecting the signal."

    "It should be." Wu You thought for a while, "I don't know if I can contact other people."

    "Let's take a look at this strange house first."

    Although Zhong Yirou was fully prepared, she was startled by the children who sat up at the same time.

    At the same time, she found that the lullaby that lingered throughout the shelter stopped abruptly.

    On the bed, they shouted "sister, sister..." one after another, trying to get out of bed one by one stiffly.

    Seeing those bluish-white hands and feet about to step on the ground, Zhong Yirou, who was stunned, reacted immediately.

    Is it the temperature?

    She endured the strong smell and ran to the console where she was placed, frantically clicking on the panel and turning down the temperature on it.

    10, 9, 8, 7...

    faster.

    Suddenly, she felt something grabbing her ankle, but she didn't look down.

    No matter what you look at, at most, it's just a disgusting ghost doll grabbing the leg.

    "Don't scratch my old lady's stockings!"

    She finally adjusted back to the previous 3 degrees and ran out the door without looking back. Zhong Yirou felt something wrapped around her legs, but she couldn't care about it. As soon as she left the sleeping room and saw An Wujiu outside the door, she took a deep breath and groped for the white button with one hand.

    The door slammed shut, leaving nothing behind.

    "It's closed like that?"

    Zhong Yirou couldn't believe it. At this moment, she remembered that something was hugging her ankle just now, so she closed her eyes and threw one of her legs desperately.

    "What's wrong with you?" An Wujiu asked, "Is there anything on your leg?"

    Zhong Yirou suddenly stopped and looked down. As expected, there was nothing on her legs. The stockings were intact and there was not even a scratch on them.

    "What's the matter?" She squatted down to check, "It really happened just now."

    She felt incredible and stood up again, feeling a little excited, "Did you see the inside? That scene just now, blameless, this place is not a place where children sleep together, it's a morgue!"

    An Wujiu had a puzzled look on his face.

    "Why? They were sleeping when you went in just now."

    "I'm still telling you outside, keep your voice down, high heels will wake them up."

    Zhong Yirou was stunned.

    She didn't believe it was her own illusion, so she dared to press the white button again.

    The door opened again, and the eerie purple light in the room turned back to a warm milky yellow again. There was no rotting smell, but only faint incense to help sleep. Every child slept in their cots, even on their chests. They all fluctuated slightly with their breathing.

    Everything is alive and peaceful.

    They went from corpses back to living children.

    There was a sudden beep in her ear, followed by some noisy sounds.

    The blameless person behind him said to her, "Are you too nervous?"

    "Otherwise, I won't search this place first. It's normal to shelter all children. I just saw the work log in an office, and I need your permission to open it. Let's go and see that first."

    "Oh, good." Zhong Yirou closed the door of the sleeping room again, still having lingering fears in her heart.

    Is it the same as permission, really only you can see it.

    "It's really weird. If you don't believe me, let's take a look at it later."

    Suddenly, the murmur heard by the ear that had just beeped disappeared, followed by a familiar voice.

    [Yirou, I just found out that our right ear has a device with intercom function, did you run out by yourself?Don't be alone, do you want to come and turn with us now?We are on the southeast corner of the first floor.]

    Zhong Yirou, who was silently following behind An Wujiu, suddenly fell silent.

    [can you hear me?I am innocent.]

    The author has something to say:

    The incantation used in this chapter is the Jade Girl's Anti-Closing Judgment in Qimen Dunjia. I really don't know much about Taoism, so I used it directly. Don't take it seriously. Friends of Taoism, please forgive me.
