Chapter 97: Rebirth Curse
Chapter 97: Rebirth Curse
Mao Ge's action of turning his head to look behind him made Guo Zening, who had just calmed down, feel his scalp tingling again.
His neck felt stiff and his expression looked like he was about to cry.
"Brother Maomao, don't joke with me. I can't stand being scared. If you do this, I might pee my pants." Guo Zening said in a low voice.
The straightforward Mao Ge said, "Who is kidding you? There really is a ghost-like aura over there. I can confirm it."
Several people looked over there.
The garden is not big. There is a path over there with trees on both sides. It is about seven or eight meters long and there is a small pavilion at the end.
However, due to the dim light, I couldn't see clearly. I didn't think much of it at first, but after Brother Jingmao said that, when I looked at it again, I always felt that there was something dangerous hidden in the dim outline.
They are looking at each other and the other is looking at them.
At this time, Luo Xi asked, "Brother Mao, are you sure that the female ghost is still in the funeral hall?"
Liu Mao nodded: "I am sure that the eerie aura is still in the mourning hall."
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
The voice came out suddenly, startling people.
"Who's calling?"
"It seems to be someone from Hou Cheng's side."
"Could it be that someone died again?"
This possibility is very high. Obviously, the level scene of this haunted house escape is very dangerous. It is currently known that there is more than one "weird creature" in the scene, and once encountered, someone will almost certainly be killed.
It was Liu Mao who noticed that there was something wrong with the pavilion over there just now, but if he didn't have the ability to detect danger in advance, what would be the result if they approached rashly?
Maybe it wasn’t just Hou Cheng who was screaming.
"It's too dangerous here!" said Brother Mao.
This is the truth.
But they have all come in, and it is too late to stop playing now.
Several people looked at Luo Xi.
At times like this, everyone relies on Luo Xi to make decisions.
This has almost become a habit for them.
"Since it's a haunted house escape, the key lies in the word escape. To escape, you must first understand the structure of the scene. Knowing where to escape is the key." This is the only advice Luo Xi can give at the moment.
"Brother Mao, you take the lead."
Brother Mao, who has a keen sense of resentment, is obviously the most suitable one to take the lead.
If anything happens, he can detect it immediately.
The latter nodded without refusing.
The four people lined up, carefully walked around the pavilion, and slowly moved forward.
At the same time, Luo Xi took out the Buddhist scripture he had just taken from the old monk's body in the mourning hall and began to study it.
Obviously, this is a "Nirvana Mantra".
It is a mantra frequently chanted by Buddhists, mostly used to liberate the souls of the dead.
Luo Xi soon discovered that this was also a card prop.
Can be used as a card.
The description behind the card is: When you use and recite the scriptures, it is possible to liberate the souls of the dead, but success or failure depends on who recites it, you know. However, if it is blessed by a Buddhist instrument, the effect will be better!
Luo Xi frowned when he saw this.
"Does it depend on the strength of the person chanting? In other words, is it a question of whether he is being decent or helping others to be decent? Could it be that string of Buddhist beads?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't get the string of Buddhist beads!"
Luo Xi sighed.
The scene begins with a conversation between the old monk and his wife.
From this point of view, the old monk plays a very important role in this level scene. Naturally, there is a high possibility that he has clues to pass this level scene.
According to the administrator's design rules for level scenes, they must be "fair and just", that is, it is not allowed to design scenes that are sure to lead to death. Moreover, the more dangerous the link, the more likely it is that the solution to the problem will be placed in the scene.
Of course, you can hide.
But there must be reasonable clues.
Otherwise, there can be no question of 'fairness and justice'.
"That Chu Xu is much more powerful than Hou Cheng."
Luo Xi believed in his own judgment. Hou Cheng was just an ordinary senior person with average ability. The reason why he could gather so many people around him might be because he was eloquent. Such people could be found everywhere, but some people would be fooled.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. When you don't know a person very well and have only had a short contact time, the other person's exaggerated words can often be very misleading.
That’s why it is said that honest people always suffer losses in society.
It's because they can't talk nonsense with a thick face.
With Brother Mao around, Luo Xi and the others passed through the garden relatively smoothly without any complications. According to Brother Mao, in the garden, only that pavilion had a lot of resentment gathered.
After leaving the garden, there is a small courtyard in front with houses on both sides.
If it were just the dark houses, it would be fine, but the problem was that most of these seven or eight houses were pitch black and silent, but there was only one that had a light on, and through the paper window, the candlelight inside flickered.
Inside, it seemed as if someone was sitting at the table, shaking his head. If you listened carefully, you could hear someone reciting the Book of Songs. Several people looked at Brother Mao.
"What's the matter? Are there people or ghosts in here?" Guo Zening asked.
Liu Mao looked carefully, his expression solemn, looking left and right, then shook his head: "It's hard to say, the resentment seems to be there and not there"
"So is it there or not?" Wu Rui also asked.
"Hiss~" Brother Mao took a breath: "No!"
"What should we do? Let's go, or go over and take a look?"
Several people looked at Luo Xi.
"Brother Mao, wait for me at the door." Luo Xi didn't waste any time and made the decision almost immediately.
Explore.
Sometimes you really have to be cautious and not act recklessly, but sometimes you have to take the initiative, otherwise you will miss the opportunity.
Four people walked over, Mao Ge, Wu Rui and Guo Zening hid on both sides of the door, and one squatted under the window.
Luo Xi walked forward and knocked on the door gently.
dong dong dong~
"Who?"
The people in the room were immediately stunned and started to ask.
Luo Xi's heart moved, and he responded: "Madam asked me to come and take a look."
"Oh, wait a minute!" The person inside opened the door, and Luo Xi saw a man dressed as an ancient scholar.
Sure enough, this is a level scene set in ancient times.
According to Luo Xi's analysis, if it was just a scary haunted house, there would be no need to make these settings that seemed to have nothing to do with escape. Moreover, Luo Xi knew that the various ghost characters in the scene were all "employees".
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have so many employees doing the work without any cost.
Just like a company, if it wants to recruit more employees, it must pay more "salary".
This is also in line with the principles of equal exchange and fairness.
Therefore, if it is something unrelated, there is no need to insert it into the level scene at all.
"What did my aunt say?" the scholar asked.
The other party didn't seem to care about Luo Xi's outfit which was obviously inappropriate for the scene.
It's more like forcing a stage play.
No matter who takes over the role, I will finish my part.
Maybe it's the characters' professional qualities that make them do this, or maybe it's just some kind of setting.
"Something happened at the mourning hall." Luo Xi thought quickly and responded.
Upon hearing this, the scholar really reacted: "I knew it. I told my aunt at the time that the burial should be done quickly and not delayed, but she didn't listen. So, what happened?"
"That... I don't know either, but there were screams coming from the mourning hall over there, and my madam once instructed that if anything happens, she should inform you the first time." This was completely Luo Xi's improvisation.
He didn't know if what he said was right, and he didn't know how the other party would react after he said this.
After hearing this, the scholar's face changed.
Looks a little scared.
"Aunt, you really do love me." After the scholar finished speaking, he immediately said, "I understand. You can go down."
After saying that, he closed the door directly.
This reaction was considered quite satisfactory, but Luo Xi did not get what he wanted.
So he didn't leave.
Listen carefully.
In the room, there was the sound of packing up.
Even, he seemed a little anxious.
Accompanied by some annoyed mutterings from the scholar.
"I have advised her a long time ago, but she didn't listen. Who can I blame?"
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. I thought I could prepare for the exam here in peace, but forget it, it's more important to save my life."
The people in the room looked at each other at this moment.
Wu Rui whispered, "It looks like this guy wants to run away. He must be familiar with the escape route, so, follow him?"
Luo Xi smiled.
Wu Rui is talented, and what she said is exactly what I thought.
"Hide first!" Luo Xi called out, and several people immediately hid in the shadow of the corner over there.
After a while, the light in the room was taken out, and the door was opened. The scholar came out with a package on his back and a candle in his hand. He looked around furtively and then walked over there.
