Chapter 43 Portable Safe Zone
Chapter 43 Portable Safe Zone
Okay, although Ning Zhe felt that Bai Zhi was abnormal when he read her diary before, after actually getting to know her, he found that she was even more abnormal than he thought.
"It is currently known that in addition to the real world we live in, there is also a strange world like Hejia Village that operates according to rules. Gu Yunqing and I accidentally entered it through the 'door', but Bai Zhi is different."
Ning Zhe quickly organized the information he had: "Bai Zhi often encounters different strange worlds in her dreams and gets trapped in them. She can learn about the different taboos and precautions corresponding to different rules just like she can predict the future."
As she herself said, Bai Zhi is a 'ghost story player'.
This strange fact made Ning Zhe feel as if she was the protagonist.
What is even more distressing is that even at this point, Bai Zhi still thinks she is dreaming. She unconditionally treats Ning Zhe and Feng Yusu as NPCs in her dream and refuses to exercise her subjective initiative.
"She is indeed mentally abnormal." Ning Zhe felt that Bai Zhi was somewhat ill.
"Ningzhe, what should we do next?" Feng Yusu asked cautiously.
"It's time to turn off the lights." Before Ning Zhe could speak, Bai Zhi said, "Darkness equals safety. If we can't leave the manor, the first thing we should do is to expand the safe zone and minimize the chances of us being discovered by ghosts."
Logically, this is true, but...
"But ghosts are afraid of light." Ning Zhe said calmly: "Light is a necessary condition for ghosts to find and discover people, but think about it the other way around. Since ghosts are afraid of light, does this mean that light is also a necessary condition for people to decipher ghosts?"
"This is just your guess." Bai Zhi said softly.
"It seems that you really think you are dreaming." Ning Zhe sighed helplessly.
Unlike Ning Zhe who was risking everything, Bai Zhi was not so anxious. She still thought she was in a dream, where she did not need to risk her life to explore and crack the rules of ghosts. She only needed to wait in the dark safe area until the sun rose, and she would wake up naturally.
Since this is indeed a dream, her idea is not wrong. This is the safest option to survive.
But Ning Zhe didn't think so. He believed that the current situation was just like that in Hejia Village. If he didn't crack the rules and kill the ghost as soon as possible, he would be trapped here forever.
"I won't try to convince you. Just wish you the best." Ning Zhe stood up from the bed and walked towards the door: "I'm leaving."
Walking out of the door, Ning Zhe looked up and saw that the sky was pitch black, as if a huge porcelain bowl was turned upside down, covering the entire Bishuiwan Manor. He took a step to leave, but heard light footsteps behind him.
Looking back, it was Feng Yusu who followed out.
"Ningzhe, I...I'll go with you."
Looking at her serious expression, Ning Zhe was a little confused: "It took a lot of effort to find your daughter, why are you following me instead of accompanying Bai Zhi?"
"She's safe here...at least for now. Ning Zhe, you really helped me a lot, so I want to do something for you." Feng Yushuo put his hands on his chest, looking a little embarrassed:
"When I first settled here yesterday, I happened to hear a few electricians drinking tea and chatting. They said that the main power grid of this manor is divided into three parts, each controlled by three switches."
"The outdoor power grid is the power supply system for facilities such as street lights, fountains, monitoring systems and security alarms. The switch is located outdoors. I don't know where it is outdoors."
"The indoor power grid is the power supply system that supplies household appliances and lighting facilities in each room of the castle. The switch is located on the first floor of the castle, in a small hidden room in a corner of the wall."
"The backup power grid is powered by a diesel generator in the basement of the manor. It should be shut down now. It would be better to destroy it for safety reasons."
Feng Yusu described the information he knew in a fast but clear voice: "I know where the monitoring room is. I'll be there now. Can we keep in touch by phone?" "Okay." Ning Zhe agreed.
Taking out his cell phone, Ning Zhe dialed Feng Yusu's number. Just like in Hejia Village, internal communications were possible in the manor isolated from the outside world, but outgoing calls could not be made.
"Hey?" Feng Yushu looked at the caller ID on the screen, surprise and confusion creeping onto her face: "Zhang Yangxu?"
"It's me." Ning Zhe didn't explain much. He shook the black mobile phone in his hand that belonged to Zhang Yangxu, bent down to pick up the iPad that Feng Yusu had dropped on the ground, and threw it forward.
flap--
Another crystal chandelier went out.
"It would be nice to have a gun." Ning Zhe thought as he looked for the light switch in the corridor.
Zhang Yangxu is a VIP member of more than one foreign shooting club. Every time he goes on a business trip abroad, he will take time out to go to the shooting range to practice shooting. Boss Zhang's shooting skills are quite good, so Ning Zhe's shooting skills are also very good.
It’s a pity that I don’t have a gun now.
After breaking the second lamp, Feng Yusu used the key to open the door of her room. Her bedroom was next to Bai Zhi.
Ning Zhe waited at the door for a moment. She changed into sports shoes suitable for mobility, walked out of the room, and handed Ning Zhe a purple parasol with golden patterns.
"Since darkness is safe, let's carry a small piece of darkness with us," said Feng Yusu.
Ning Zhe held up an umbrella and tentatively walked under a crystal lamp that was not extinguished. After waiting attentively for a few minutes, he did not find any signs of a ghost approaching.
"It's useful." Ning Zhe nodded to Feng Yusu.
"That's great..." Feng Yusu showed a bright smile on her face, opened the umbrella in her hand, and walked through the brightly lit corridor with Ning Zhe.
Although holding an umbrella to block out light has initially proven to be a useful measure, to be on the safe side, Ning Zhe would still turn off all lights on the way, either by turning off the switches or simply breaking them.
The lights on the second floor of the castle went out one by one following the footsteps of the two people. When they reached the stairs, Ning Zhe and Feng Yusu parted ways.
Feng Yusu was going to find the monitoring room inside the castle, while Ning Zhe was going to turn off the power switch of the indoor power grid.
After experiencing the two terrorist incidents in Hejia Village and Bishui Bay, Feng Yuxu's psychological quality has become somewhat stronger. At least when she has someone to rely on, she will no longer be startled. The number of times she has emotional breakdowns has also decreased significantly. She can now bravely act alone in this strange world.
The tall and straight young man held a crimson-purple parasol with golden lace and walked through the hall filled with corpses as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
By the way, I also broke the chandelier on the ceiling of the hall.
As he walked, Ning Zhe was still thinking: "Ghosts need light to find people and kill people, but ghosts themselves don't like and are even afraid of light."
What is the relationship between the two?
