Chapter 1309 The Ghost Tower of the Underworld
The red patterns were about the size of a human skull. The exact shape was unknown, but for some reason Ji Li thought of Tai Chi diagrams when he looked at them.
Opening and closing like a breathing lamp, Ji Li was stuck on the sixth floor stairs holding a black umbrella, unable to go up or down, and was in a dilemma.
The flashing red light coated the entire Yulao Street with a layer of mysterious and weird red, filling it with an unreal sense of division.
"Is this Manager Ji?"
The two "Pang Guijuan" at the front and back asked in unison, and their tone had completely changed from the initial doubt to a sinister one, with a strong sense of threat.
However, what made Ji Li suspicious was that even though the two "Pang Guijuan" had already taken the absolute initiative, no one made a move.
It is absolutely forbidden to speak, otherwise Pang Guijuan's real fate will be. His eyes slowly moved to the right and back, looking at the room that had no time to close the door.
The door of No. 6002 is open, and while Yu Lao Street is covered in red patterns, there is still a gentle warm light shining through its depths.
A faint radio sound, like water, slowly came from inside, becoming the only dynamic thing in the strange current situation...
"If you don't sleep for one night, you will feel sleepy. How can you stay awake for two days and nights..."
Ji Li listened to the radio and stared straight at "Pang Guijuan" downstairs. No one on either side made any move.
It is even more impossible for him to take the lead in escaping without any movement from the ghost, especially in such a mission with hidden rules.
However, it is worth mentioning that the gray soul had actively revived at first and began to stir as if facing a powerful enemy.
But when the two "Pang Guijuan" appeared and the red pattern appeared, it gradually fell silent.
Everything was left in Ji Li's hands, and he currently had a vague suspicion in his mind, and it was this conjecture that prevented him from taking action.
"The red pattern is a third party."
In the Yu Laojie mission, there are many ghosts, many rules, and special missions where the root ghosts are hidden, so information is extremely important.
There are many rules that ghosts can use, and people can use them. People should avoid them, and ghosts should also avoid them.
With Ji Li's eyesight, it only took him three seconds to see the clues from one thing.
He himself is one party, "Pang Guijuan" is the second party that appears, and the red pattern is the third party.
Each of these three parties is stronger than the other, showing a basic trend from weak to strong.
When Ji Li faced "Pang Guijuan" alone, the ghost took the lead and blocked her to death.
But when the red pattern appeared, it did not dare to make any more moves. Apparently, Pang Guijuan, who had become a ghost, got the information that the ghost should have.
This red pattern is absolutely extraordinary. Something that covers the entire Yu Lao Street and has such powerful control over people and ghosts must come from the root ghost!
As a result, Ji Li was double-teamed by two "Pang Guijuan", and under the illumination of red patterns, he seemed to be in danger, but he would not have any big problems for a while.
Because the correct solution, "Pang Guijuan" would give him - don't move.
The dense red patterns spread in front of you and under your feet extinguish, flicker, extinguish, and flicker at the frequency of one second...
But there is no possibility of opportunism. Even if they were extinguished, Pang Guijuan did not take action. This shows that the "breathing light" mode is an illusion.
You must remain still to avoid the attack.
At the same time, Ji Li discovered that the figure of Pang Guijuan downstairs gradually became more and more faded as time passed.
It is as if the clerk of the ninth branch cannot be free even if he dies, and the time of his appearance must be within the rules.
Ji Li's eyes changed slightly at this moment, and he could roughly figure out 6002's problem.
On the 6th floor of the wide staircase in the east building of Yulao Street where the red light shines, he ignored the two ghosts in front and behind him and began his analysis.
"Pang Guijuan is dead. Whether she dies or not is not important. What happened in 6002 is important.
This incident was enough to affect the entire Yu Lao Street, but they never had the chance to leave the room.
Until my appearance gave it a chance to release, and the red pattern appeared.
But this pattern is not directed at me, but at ghosts. "Ji Li looked at Pang Guijuan in front of him. The thin-lipped and cold-faced mean face had become extremely blurry, and his identity could hardly be discerned.
The red pattern looking behind the fading figure also becomes like a mist, as if it is gradually fading.
Sure enough.
After Pang Guijuan died, she was transformed into a ghost by the power of the root ghost. It is not unusual for this ghost to appear in 6002. The key is that her death activated the "accident".
It's unclear which camp this incident is from, but it attacks both ghosts and humans indiscriminately.
In other words, the red pattern has become a new rule in Yulao Street.
Once it is there, all ghosts must put down everything and freeze everything until the ghost disappears over time.
I just don’t know if Pang Guijuan faded away because the red pattern took action against her, or because of some other unknown reason.
If it's the former, that's definitely good news for store clerks.
This shows that it can be used by Ji Li. By controlling this change, he will have a trump card against other ghosts.
Ji Li's idea was correct, because he discovered that when he and Pang Guijuan were both motionless, the ghost disappeared first.
In this case, this 6002 must go in and find out the source of the "accident".
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already the last minute before 7 p.m. At the same time, Ji Li was already ready.
As long as he persists for a while longer, he can drag Pang Guijuan away until there is no red pattern, and he will return to 6002.
However, some things just happened to happen, or this time was supposed to be a disaster in Ji Li's fate.
Just when it seemed that the red pattern matter would come to an end if it only took a few more seconds, a series of footsteps sounded behind without warning.
In just a moment, Pang Guijuan, who had faded away, became solid again, and this time it opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth.
But it has no tongue!
Not only that, through its faded body, the scene where the red pattern is about to blur becomes extremely clear at this moment.
All previous efforts were shattered at this moment. The red pattern began to strangle the living due to someone's actions. Pang Guijuan, who was abandoned, also became a ghost hunting down humans.
Ji Li didn't have time to sigh. There was already a bad wind in the back of his head. His thinking was in a trance for a moment, but fortunately, his muscle memory allowed him to hold up the black umbrella.
"Ding!"
The black umbrella from the man in black in Tiannan had its ribs torn apart in the blink of an eye, leaving no resistance.
However, a blow that was supposed to end Ji Li's life was blocked, creating a great opportunity for his next escape.
Being in a trance and torn from behind, this is Pang Guijuan's fatal attack.
But after the attack failed, Ji Li suddenly became clear. He leaned on the handrail of the stairs, a vicious and tongueless face barely brushed against his shoulder, and he climbed upstairs.
It's seven o'clock in the evening, and there are only ten seconds left.
However, one person walked out of the room early and walked downstairs to investigate the situation. This person was very familiar to Ji Li and it was Chang Nian.
Ji Li couldn't ask Chang Nian why he went out early, and Chang Nian didn't dare ask Ji Li why he came to the sixth floor. They only knew that Yu Lao Street under the red pattern was filled with endless coldness and weirdness.
Both parties' faces were pale, and the world in their eyes could no longer be viewed with common sense.
When Ji Li took the first step, he stepped on the mysterious red pattern, and the world in his eyes had turned into a human purgatory.
Red light fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Yulao Street.
Countless rotten human heads hang in the east-west, north-south corridors on the 18th floor;
Hundreds of tightly packed door panels, numerous broken hands, feet, and limbs;
The hard and rough concrete floor was covered with torn human skin and hair;
This old street is like a ghost building in the underworld.
