Wu You originally followed Yang Erci and Josh to search for clues in an office room on the first floor.
The office is bigger than he imagined, and it is a suite inside and outside. He originally wanted to see if there is any information available, but there are too many materials. He can't figure out why there are so many useless paper materials in the digital age .
I was complaining in my heart when a strange bell sounded outside the door.
Very crisp.
The bell rang repeatedly, and it was getting closer and closer. Wu You felt weird, so he put down the documents in his hand and walked out of the room.
It is unknown whether it is the building itself, or the closed state caused by the collapse of the so-called security system. There is not a single window in this holding center.
Wu You came to the door defensively, but he didn't go out immediately, thinking that maybe the npc of this game was doing something wrong. Hearing clearly the direction of the source of the ringtone, planning the escape route, and being prepared to yell at Yang Erci and Josh to escape at all times, Wu You finally turned his head to the side of the sound source, which is his right hand.
It turned out that the dishonest Taoist...
False alarm.
The Taoist smiled, "Little friend, why do you look so disappointed?"
He was wearing a strange worker's 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.
"What are you doing ringing the bell?" Wu You's guarded face remained undiminished, he never felt that this 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, and it is an important magic weapon of our Taoism. There is a saying in "Taiqing Jade Book": "Taoism The so-called emperor bell is thrown thousands of miles into the fire, and the bell flows eight times'... "
Wu You felt that he was lying nonsense and didn't want to answer, so he turned his head and walked to the left of the corridor. But the Taoist priest followed behind him relentlessly, shaking the bell in his hand regularly as he walked.
"Don't underestimate our Sanqing bell. This is a great magic weapon to exorcise demons and subdue demons. Do you hear the sound of this bell is particularly clear and pleasant, but in the ears of those evil spirits, this sound can torture kill them."
Wu You didn't know if he could torture the evil spirit to death, he only knew that he was about to be tortured to death by this long-winded Taoist priest.
Forget it, just find an excuse to shake him off when you turn the corner.
Just rambling on like this, Nan Shan almost chased Wu You all the way like chasing a duck. While walking, Wu You stopped.
His expression was a little puzzled, he stared forward and then looked 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, and even ran.
Nanshan also ran forward with him, but after a while, Wu You stopped again and turned to look back.
"Didn't you notice something was wrong?" Wu You asked Nanshan.
Nan Shan didn't speak, but rang the bell again.
Wu You said to himself: "I can't reach the 'corner' in front of me... No matter how long I walk, I just stay in the state of 'coming soon'."
A very mysterious smile appeared on Nanshan's face.
"You're so smart, you discovered it so quickly."
He put his hands back, and his tone was still the same as before.
"There is a saying in China that ghosts hit the wall, which means that no matter how you walk, you are walking in circles." After finishing speaking, he shrugged, "I just rang the bell because I found something was wrong as soon as I walked around the corner."
Nanshan 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 the ghost hit the wall."
Nan Shan smiled, "Indeed, but I brought you in." He shrugged, "Before you saw me, I've been wandering here by myself for at least half an hour."
Hearing these words, Wu You's heart trembled.
"No one is with you? I clearly saw that you were with Brother Wujiu before."
"Brother Wugui?" Nan Shan was surprised by this title, thinking that this little brother, who is neither big nor small, is a cold virtue to everyone.
"Oh yes, originally we were studying the safe evacuation route map, but later we were surprised that the map did not show elevators or stairs. How to get upstairs became a big problem, so we planned to find the stairs and the exit separately." Shan shook his head slowly, "But that guy with green eyes doesn't seem to like me very much, no matter what, he won't let me be 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 exorcised ghosts, but he also said that he would have nightmares when he saw a ball head." Nan Shan touched the bun on the top of his head, "What a strange person ah."
"That's how he is." Wu You said.
Things have been like this, it seems that they can only go out of this ghostly wall corridor by two people. He thought about it, and said to this Taoist priest who was not much more reliable than Shen Ti: "Is there any way to crack the ghost hitting the wall?"
"Yes, there is." Nan Shan turned forward with his hands behind his back, and then turned his head, "If the ghost hit the wall, if it wasn't for the illusion of space, the possibility of evil spirits acting as illusions cannot be ruled out. It is possible to create a game and break it with a game, and there is a certain degree of certainty.”
"Originally, I was too lazy to use it just now."
Wu You frowned, "Is there a way to not use it? What are you thinking about?"
This strange Taoist priest.
"I'm tired of doing these metaphysics spells, and I have to chant spells when I enter the game." Nan Shan looked at him with a smile, "Besides, I was the only one just now. Casting spells is so boring, and there are no audiences."
Wu You's face collapsed.
And the audience...
Do you think you are a peacock
"Besides, the conditions here are also limited." Nan Shan paused, stretched out 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, Nan Shan finally pulled out something from his back, which was a carved wooden sword.
"It's a pity that I couldn't bring in my high-quality mahogany sword. I only brought one I carved to deceive children. I don't know how effective it will be."
Wu You: "...are you really a decent Taoist priest?"
"Of course, I'm a decent child of a famous family." Nanshan blew on the mahogany sword, then slowly took out a yellow talisman, looked left and right.
"At this speed, can we catch ghosts before we die?"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Nanshan 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 the sword, which looked tattered and completely devoid of magic weapon style, could draw black lines on the ground out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, Nanshan filled in the numbers in the Jiugong grid, but the way of filling in the numbers seemed to be irregular and in no order at all.
4_9_2
3_5_7
8_1_6
Nan Shan stood facing the Jiugongge, threw the yellow talisman into the air, the yellow paper fluttered leisurely, and actually stopped in front of Nan Shan, suspended in the air.
This time, Wu You believed that this guy was not a paper Taoist priest.
But the next second he was even more puzzled.
Why are Taoist spells still effective in a virtual game like the altar
Shouldn't this capability be unattainable
Or, the altar is not just a virtual game in his imagination...
While he was thinking, he heard Nan Shan say a word.
"The disciple is disturbing."
His mahogany sword flew out of his hand, circled the ceiling a few times, and then swooped straight down.
"Southeast." The smile on Nan Shan's face faded away, and he became seriously serious.
As soon as the voice fell, the swooping mahogany sword flew above the number 6.
He put one hand behind his back, put the other palm on his chest, and chanted a mantra: "I would like to invite Liuding Yunu Zhenjun according to the gate of heaven, draw a picture of the land, go out of the gate of heaven, enter the household of the earth, close the golden gate and ride on the jade scorpion, Jade Girl, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Gouchen, Tengshe, Liuhe, Liujia God, God King and God General, ride on me, go to a certain place, patrol left and right... "
While he was reading, the mahogany sword drew lines in a certain order on the ground, and the red lines penetrated through the numbers of each palace.
6-7-8-9-5-1-2-3-4-5
"A gentleman is very happy to see me..."
On the 5th house, which is the central house, the mahogany sword stays for a few seconds.
There seemed to be an evil wind in the nine palaces, and the mahogany sword was shaken, shaking in the air three inches from the ground.
The broken hair around Nan Shan's face flew up, the distance was only two or three meters away. There is a nine palaces away from him, but Wu You feels that there is no wind.
Two seconds later, Nanshan said the last sentence coldly.
"Hundreds of evil thieves and ghosts, whoever sees me will perish."
Taomujian regained its footing and moved from the stagnant 5th house to the initial 6th house.
With a loud noise, a golden light flashed in the nine palaces, and then disappeared.
Wu You, who frowned to avoid the light, turned his face and looked at the ground where the Nine Palaces were once painted, then turned his head and looked around.
"Did you make it?"
The mahogany sword had already returned to Nan Shan's hand at this moment, holding the sword behind his back, he walked towards the direction they were walking just now.
"It's hard to say." He changed back to that frivolous and unreliable tone, "Let's go and see."
Wu You had no choice but to follow behind him, and 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 they were still at the place near the corner.
It's just that he feels that the temperature is not so low, even a little hot.
As they walked, Nan Shan, who was leading the way, stopped, stretched out a hand, and pressed his palm against the wall.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu You saw him acting strangely, and followed him, reaching out to touch the wall like him.
Very hot.
He took his hand away, "Why is the wall here so hot?"
"This is the source of that weirdness." Nanshan put the charm on this wall, and the strange thing is that when the spell turned to ashes on the wall that was just complete and continuous, a door appeared out of thin air at the place where the charm was pasted. steel door.
It is the same material as the room door they encountered before.
The only difference is that there is a display screen on this door, and a nine-square grid is displayed on the screen.
"Is this what you became?"
Nanshan shook her head slightly.
This is to lure him here.
He stretched out his index finger and stroked lightly on the blade of the mahogany sword, and it actually made a gash and blood flowed out. With the blood flowing, Nan Shan continued to draw on the screen according to the order of the Nine Palaces of Cai Yunv's anti-closed game just now.
A centrosymmetric blood line map is presented on the nine palaces.
The door was opened inward all of a sudden, with only a crack, Wu You was about to be burned by the hot air gushing out from inside, and a strong smell of burning protein made him cough.
Nan Shan pulled him behind her, "Be careful."
Wu You, who was avoiding the heat flow, inadvertently glanced at the display screen on the door just now, and found that there was no longer a nine-square grid and blood stains on it, but a new line of words appeared.
[Welcome back, E07.]
Is this...
The place where Nanshan characters work.
"You are E07, right?"
"yes."
Suddenly, Nanshan and Wu You raised their hands and touched their ears at the same time, because they suddenly heard a [beep] sound, and after that, the words they said to each other seemed to overlap inexplicably in their ears, which was very strange.
Wu You looked sideways, and there was a black dot on Nanshan's ear, he reached out and touched it, "It seems to be something like a microphone."
Nanshan also saw it on Wu You's ear.
He stretched out his hand and tapped the raised dot on his ear twice in short succession, and found that the overlap disappeared, "Because we are near each other, there is an overlap after connecting to 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 still taken aback by the children who sat up at the same time.
At the same time, she noticed that the lullaby that was lingering throughout the shelter stopped abruptly.
They yelled "Sister, sister..." one after another on the bed, trying to get out of bed with stiff limbs.
Seeing those blue and white hands and feet about to step on the ground, Zhong Yirou, who was stunned, immediately reacted.
Is it temperature
Enduring the strong smell, she ran to the console, frantically clicking on the panel to lower the temperature on it.
10, 9, 8, 7...
faster.
Suddenly, she felt something grab her ankle, but she didn't lower her head.
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 then ran out the door without looking back. Zhong Yirou felt something wrapped around her leg, but she didn't care about it at all. As soon as she left the sleeping room and saw An Wujiu outside the door, she took a deep breath, fumbling with one hand to press the white button.
The door slammed shut, leaving nothing behind.
"It's closed just like that?"
Zhong Yirou couldn't believe it. At this moment, she remembered that something had hugged her ankle just now, so she closed her eyes and desperately swung one of her legs.
"What's wrong with you?" An Wujiu asked, "Is there anything on your lap?"
Zhong Yirou suddenly stopped and looked down, there was nothing on her legs, the stockings were intact, not even a scratch on them.
"What's going on?" She squatted down to check, "It really happened just now."
She felt unbelievable, stood up again, a little emotional, "Did you see the inside? It's the scene just now, no fault, this place is not a place for children to sleep together, it's a morgue!"
There was a puzzled expression on An Wujiu's face.
"Why? When you went in just now, they were sleeping."
"I was still telling you outside, keep your voice down, the high heels will wake them up."
Zhong Yirou was stunned.
She didn't believe it was her own illusion, so she boldly pressed the white button again.
The door was opened again, and the weird purple light in the room turned back to a warm milky yellow again. There was no rotten smell, but only a faint incense to help sleep. Every child slept peacefully in their little beds, even the chest All fluctuate slightly due to breathing.
Everything is alive and peaceful.
They transformed from corpses back into living children.
Suddenly there was a beep in her ear, and then some noisy voices.
Wu Jiu behind her said to her: "Are you too nervous?"
"Or don't search here for now. It's normal to take in all the children. I just saw a work log in an office. You must have permission to open it. Let's go and see that first."
"Oh, good." Zhong Yirou closed the door of the sleeping room again, still lingering in her heart.
Is it the same as permissions, only you can really see it.
"It's really strange. If you don't believe me, let's take a look later."
Suddenly, the noise heard by the ear that just made the beep disappeared, and then a familiar voice came.
[Yirou, I just discovered that we have installed a device with intercom function in our right ear, did you run out by yourself? Don't place orders, do you want to come and join 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 spell used in this chapter is the jade girl's anti-closed game in Qimen Dunjia. I really don't know much about Taoism, so I just used it directly. Don't take it seriously. Friends who are professional in Taoism, please forgive me.
