Chapter 202: Holding the Niche in Peace
An Zhiyan is indeed very unlucky.
She was ‘named’ and replaced by a ghost without understanding the situation, and then found that she had become a ghost paralyzed in bed.
As someone who can still sustain the Awakened Association after Lin Yixuan disappeared, An Zhiyan has very strong abilities in all aspects.
At least most of the memory collectors cannot compare with her.
But the situation she encountered this time was too special.
There is absolutely no room to display your abilities.
Even, she couldn't even summon the card book.
So she was desperate, there was nothing she could do except lie on the bed and wait and make the 'woohoo' sound that only hard work could make. If possible, she would kill herself to get out of her current situation.
But she is not an ordinary person after all. After lying in bed and going through several days and nights, An Zhiyan slowly adjusted her mentality and discovered a special thing about her.
She has extremely strong senses and hearing.
This ability should come from this 'paralyzed ghost'. Because she cannot move, her perception and hearing are more acute. She can even hear footsteps that are difficult to detect.
This footsteps has been wandering outside.
With an extreme danger.
An Zhiyan analyzed that the footsteps she heard must be very special.
At this moment, An Zhiyan heard the footsteps again, and she was sure that the footsteps were approaching quickly.
So she tried her best to make a 'wuwu' sound, trying to warn Luo Xi.
Luo Xi naturally noticed something unusual about An Zhiyan.
Putting her face straight with his hands, the two looked at each other.
An Zhiyan's eyes rolled around, her mouth whined, and her anxiety was beyond words.
"Got it!"
Luo Xi looked around, moved his wheelchair to the corner next to the corridor, then grabbed a torn plastic sheet over there and covered himself and An Zhiyan.
There was no way, the situation was like this, they had no way to get into the closet and cardboard boxes, they could only hide in such a particular way.
Obviously the point of 'hide and seek' runs through the whole thing from the moment we enter the building.
Even if you become a 'ghost', you still have to hide.
Not long after hiding, An Zhiyan stopped whining, but her fear did not weaken at all, but reached a higher level.
At this moment, Luo Xi also heard a low sound of footsteps.
Under the plastic sheet, Luo Xi took a close look at An Zhiyan.
The latter immediately felt like being seen through.
"Are you aware of danger?" Luo Xi asked in her ear with a very small voice.
An Zhiyan nodded slightly.
The two of them made no other moves next, because the footsteps were already close at hand.
An Zhiyan's fear reached its peak at this moment, while Luo Xi listened carefully. Fortunately, the thing didn't notice them and just lingered for a while before leaving.
At the same time, the numbing pressure on the scalp also faded away.
After waiting for a while, Luo Xi lifted up the plastic sheet.
"Humanoid, more than two meters tall, maybe 2.1 meters tall, weighing more than 200 kilograms, slightly fat, and shoe marks are rare." Luo Xi stared at the ground and murmured to himself.
An Zhiyan also tried her best to look down, but the footprints on the ground were so messy that if it were her, she would not be able to distinguish them at all.
How did Luo Xi figure it out?
She has heard of a special ability.
Memory editing is to write down a certain scene you see. This writing down is a 'picture memory', which includes many details. Later, you can compare it with the same scene in different time periods, but this Ninety-nine point nine percent of people in the world can't do this kind of thing.
That requires extremely strong memory and observation skills.
More often, the ‘camera’ is used to compare and capture the differences.
Luo Xi does not have these things, so he can only rely on his super memory.
At this time Luo Xi glanced at An Zhiyan.
"I'm asking you a few questions. You only need to answer yes and no. Blink once means yes, blink twice means no, and blink three times means not sure. Do you understand?"
< br>
After asking, An Zhiyan blinked.
"Okay, my first question is, can you hear footsteps that normal people can't hear, right?"
Blinked.
"Here, the footsteps that can make you feel dangerous are the things just now, right?"
Blinked again.
"Except for that thing just now, can you hear other people's footsteps?"
An Zhiyan thought for a while, blinked three times first, but then blinked again soon.
"I understand, you can hear it, but no one has been near here before, so you are not sure."
At this moment, An Zhiyan's eyes widened, probably thinking Could this Luo Xi be able to read minds? His guess was actually accurate.
"It's wise to take you out." After Luo Xi said this, he controlled the wheelchair to the elevator and clicked the down button with a mop rod in his hand.
Before this, he already knew that this was the tenth floor.
I don’t know which district, but now Luo Xi needs to go down to the ninth floor, because there are connecting passages for four districts on the ninth floor, so he can first determine the location, and then he can find the money after entering the 'dark night' Fatty and the others change their identities.
Or, it may be safer to go directly to the first floor.
Because we already know that there is a danger here, that is, the previous footsteps were on the tenth floor, so the farther away from the other party, the safer it is.
The period of waiting for the elevator to arrive is not long, but it is very dangerous, because one is disabled and the other is paralyzed, with almost no mobility. It is difficult to respond in time if danger is encountered.
But God does leave a window when he closes the door. An Zhiyan has extraordinary hearing and perception abilities. If something is really dangerous, she can immediately use 'woo woo' to warn.
And just when the elevator was about to come up, Luo Xi actually controlled the wheelchair, reached the corner, and covered the two people with plastic sheets again.
"Woooooooooo!" An Zhiyan was a little anxious, not knowing which song Luo Xi was singing.
Ding!
The elevator has arrived.
The sound was clear and crisp, and almost the next moment, the sound of rapid footsteps began to come closer from far away, and the terrifying sense of oppression was like a sudden thunderstorm, coming unexpectedly.
At this moment, An Zhiyan stopped whining and she also reacted.
The stumps and severed arms found earlier were near the elevator entrance, indicating that the unlucky guy might have been attacked while waiting for the elevator.
So, the sound of the elevator may lead to the 'footsteps'.
Luo Xi just predicted this possibility.
Footsteps looked everywhere, but the other party didn’t seem to be good at playing hide-and-seek, and couldn’t lift the plastic sheet to look at it.
Otherwise, Luo Xi and the others would have been discovered long ago.
Waiting until the footsteps left, Luo Xi said: "You can't ride the elevator unless you kill it first."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?" An Zhiyan was shocked.
"Of course we have to kill that footsteps, otherwise we won't be able to leave."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" An Zhiyan had doubts in her eyes.
"Why should I? Hehe, you will know in a moment."
At this moment, An Zhiyan's inner monologue was, how did this guy get out of his own 'woo woo woo' Did you hear it to express your meaning? And, almost word for word?
Next, Luo Xi asked her to track the location of the footsteps, and they explored the tenth floor while maintaining a safe distance.
To be honest, An Zhiyan didn't find anything special. Except for a lot of fog, it was still the same as the original building. It was dilapidated and filled with debris everywhere. In this case, even if there were any clues, it would be difficult to identify them in such a messy situation.
But Luo Xizhen discovered the clue.
"There is a shrine at the door of this house. The shrine is empty and the statue of the god is missing. On the back of the shrine is written the word 'Wanying'. Wanying is the priesthood of Zhong Kui. Do you know Zhong Kui? The god of Wanying in Taoism. responsibility Ghosts also eat ghosts, so the footsteps are most likely from this great god."
Hearing Luo Xi's words, An Zhiyan hoped that this was nonsense, but it had to be said that the documents Luo Xi found did point to this. possible.
Moreover, since the other party eats ghosts, aren’t their current identities ‘ghosts’?
All right!
But if it is true as Luo Xi said, then their opponent is a ‘god’, at least, a ‘god’ in this scene. Is there any way to survive?
Luo Xi was currently studying the shrine that looked like a hollow wooden box.
To be honest, this thing was mixed among all kinds of debris. Luo Xi had no idea it was a shrine unless she found it.
Luo Xi looked carefully and found that under the word 'Wanying', there was a line of small words, which read 'Keep the niche safe'.
Then Luo Xi shook his head.
When you hear something clanking inside, it is obvious that there is something inside.
Then, a wooden bar was pulled out below, and the partition below the shrine immediately fell off, along with a palm-sized disk.
Metal texture, similar to copper, with a hexagram symbol engraved in the center, Dui Gua ‘’.
At this moment, An Zhiyan suddenly kept moaning, with a horrified expression.
Luo Xi didn't panic, and pointed to the small words on the back of the shrine: "Hold the shrine and be safe!"
An Zhiyan whined and shook her head, what does it mean 'in case of unrest'?
“Those who design the scene must follow the rules. You have to know that this is just a game field. No matter how real everything we experience is just a designed game. As long as it is a game, it is You must follow the rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xi heard the footsteps. The other party was extremely fast. But this time, Luo Xi did not hide. He just looked into the fog in the distance and walked over quickly. A tall figure.
It’s the same as Luo Xi’s judgment.
The opponent was more than two meters tall, with a strong body, a leopard head and ringed eyes, an iron face and curvy temples, and wore black shoes and official uniform.
It is really consistent with the image of Zhong Kui in the legend. However, there are differences. It can only be said that the existence in the scene is not a real 'god', but just a scene character.
When this ‘Zhong Kui’ came closer, he really didn’t make a move. Instead, he looked at the shrine in Luo Xi’s hand. Finally, with a sway of his body, he turned into a black light and penetrated into the shrine.
Looking again, there is an additional statue in the shrine, which is exactly the same as the image of 'Zhong Kui' we just saw.
Everything happened so fast, An Zhiyan felt like she had wandered around the gate of hell several times.
It feels like a roller coaster, exciting, but I don’t want to do it again.
Luo Xi still held the shrine and controlled the wheelchair to the elevator. This time, he entered smoothly.
