Chapter 1337 It’s your turn
The illusion is shattering, and none of the imagined scenes in my mind are happening.
Chang Nian followed the faint corridor and caught a glimpse of a huge stove, but it was cold, extinguished, and seemed to have never been turned on.
The fire in the furnace has not yet burned, the dismembered chopping board does not exist, and the surging ghosts have not appeared.
Of course, the mysterious and terrifying male ghost in her fantasy was not in room 1818 either.
If we really had to use an adjective to describe this unique No. 1818, it should probably be "annihilation."
Silence is deathly silence.
But under the silence, it is filled with a kind of suppressed mania, collapse under restraint, and vague confusion.
Destruction is death.
But besides death, there is a faint aura of the living. The windows on all sides are open, blowing in the smell of life.
All the scenes were completely different from what Chang Nian had expected, but the unique atmosphere and smell that permeated the place made her already solemn expression start to become more serious.
No. 1818, with windows open on all sides, the cold wind blows and the night rain falls.
The cold stove was filled with smoke and dust, and the air was filled with the smell of coke, containing all kinds of death and negativity.
Chang Nian knew that all this was not an illusion.
Indeed, there once was a very powerful ghost who stood in front of this huge furnace, chopped off the ghost's body parts, threw them into the fire, and burned them into firewood.
She lifted her feet from the dark red carpet at the door of No. 1818 and walked toward the corridor.
The string of blood-red footprints on the ground, extending from the first to the eighteenth floor, shone in the darkness, guiding them step by step towards the cold furnace.
"Why is No. 1818 so empty?"
No one knows whether there is any difference between the layout of the underworld and the layout of the yang world.
Judging from the situation in Yu Lao Street outside, it seems to be completely consistent, but she has never entered 1818 after all, and she doesn't know if there is a giant furnace here in the Yang Realm.
Since all the windows in the entire room were open, a large amount of cold wind poured in from the dark outside. The longer he stayed inside, the more his body shivered.
This was not sudden. In fact, Chang Nian's body had been cold since she confirmed that she had entered the underworld.
It was not caused by too much cold air or external objects, but from the inside out. She felt that her body was getting colder and colder, but she was not affected much.
No. 1818 is not big. It is a one-bedroom apartment. Except for the bathroom, which is independent, the kitchen, living room, and bedroom are all on the same plane.
The master bedroom and kitchen are connected to the living room, forming an open structure.
The only thing contained in this space is this giant furnace.
The stove was so big that when Chang Nian stood in front of it, he had to look up to see the top of the stove. In front of him, in addition to the open and empty furnace wall, was the place where the ashes were cleaned below.
Although Chang Nian is a woman, she is very tall, 1.75 meters tall.
But standing in front of the furnace, it is only slightly flush with the furnace wall.
If she was the one who lit the fire, she should be able to barely throw the ghost's remains into it.
There is nothing in No. 1818. The only thing that needs attention is the giant furnace, so of course we need to take a closer look.
What can be seen is that the blood-red footprints on the ground are also very concentrated near the giant furnace, and almost the entire living room is covered with footprints.
The mysterious owner of the road map seemed to have a strong interest in the giant furnace just like Chang Nian at this moment.
Chang Nian's footprints and the blood-red footprints on the ground highly overlapped at the moment when she was observing the giant furnace. She was walking on the former's route.
A giant furnace is just a furnace, nothing special about it other than its size.
Including the cold and hard furnace wall, there are no patterns or patterns carved on it, and no clues are revealed.
There was still enough time, so Chang Nian stepped on the blood-red footprints, walked back to the starting point, stood in front of the giant furnace and fell into deep thought.
"Threatening me to enter the roadmap incident, forcing me to enter No. 1818, but giving me an extinguished stove, what does it mean?"
In terms of thinking and analysis, she is not as good as her husband, but she is far superior to ordinary people.
Judging from the information currently available, there is basically no evidence to support many things, and most of them rely on bold guesses to connect them.
Assume that the mysterious male ghost is the owner of the blood-red footprints. So although the male ghost threatened Chang Nian, he did not take killing as his main goal. Instead, his intention to force her to enter No. 1818 was more obvious.
Since we are entering 1818, it will obviously only be around the giant furnace.
There was a gleam in Chang Nian's eyes. The stove covered the window behind him, but he could still feel the howling cold wind.
A strange thought came to her mind.
"I saw that drawing, and someone forced me to enter 1818. Could it be that it wanted to recreate the scene in the drawing?!"
As soon as the word "reappearance" appeared in my mind, everything seemed to come together.
In the first step, the drawing appears, pulling Chang Nian into hallucination;
In the second step, a threat appears, and after confirming that it is not an illusion, trap her and refuse to leave;
The third step is to show the route and give Chang Nian enough hints to guide her step by step into the furnace No. 1818;
In the fourth step, the extinguished giant furnace is the only clue. Everything converges on it, eliminating all possibilities.
"No wonder..."
After thinking about all this, Chang Nian did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he felt uneasiness and fear welling up in his heart.

This step-by-step arrangement and link-by-link deployment left little chance for her to resist.
Although there is no obvious "force" in this series of actions, there is not even a vague "attack".
But he really took advantage of the weaknesses of people's hearts and even the identity of the clerk to "force" her into 1818 and stand in front of the giant furnace.
This feeling of secret manipulation made Chang Nian feel terrible.
She only felt that the unknown and mysterious ghost had reached the pinnacle level in manipulating people's hearts.
Even if it doesn't even show its face and doesn't even use supernatural powers, it can still regard Chang Nian as a puppet on strings and let it completely control its actions.
This feeling of manipulating people's hearts and even their actions...
Chang Nian felt strange, even a little familiar, but she couldn't recall it and couldn't analyze the specific reason.
However, the traces of blood-red footprints surrounding the giant furnace were very close to her pace as a person observing clues.
This actually gave her a little doubt...
"The owner of the blood-red footprints has also observed the giant furnace carefully like me, so can it be that ghost?"
If it is really a powerful ghost that creates a giant furnace and burns evil spirits, is it necessary to observe the giant furnace like Chang Nian and like a new store clerk?
"Huh..."
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the open window hit the wall, making a moderate noise.
Chang Nian's thoughts were awakened, she shuddered, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.
Looking at the giant furnace in front of her and recalling the drawings in her mind, her hands shook and she slowly retreated back.
This giant furnace should not be lit...
The ghost used a step-by-step strategy to force Chang Nian into 1818, just to make Chang Nian become a burner who uses ghosts as firewood. You can imagine what the result will mean to her once it achieves its goal.
Although Chang Nian fell into the trap and the crime objects in the script were neutralized, it does not mean that she really has no cards at all.
After all, the script is a two-star mission level crime object. She also has a four-star level calendar crime object, and she even has an extremely powerful space map crime object hidden in her mind.
Tongguan holds a white candle in his hand, and the space map has been given to Chang Nian.
It can be said that as long as any ghost appears, it is impossible to cause an instant kill to her.
With these methods, it is even less possible for Chang Nian to light the giant furnace step by step and reproduce the drawings.
However, when she really turned around, she suddenly discovered something that made her scalp numb.
The yin and yang sacrificial incense went out at some point!
At the same time, the terrifying male voice sounded from behind again, close to her ear. The words he said were similar to last time, but the meaning was completely different.
"It's your turn..."
