Chapter 196 The Loud Sound of the Door Breaking

Luo Xi looked at his phone. Apart from the call from Lin Qiqi just now, the phone was very quiet. In addition, no one appeared in the group. Neither the Shiyi people nor the ghost said anything.

That photo was like a 'chat terminator', silencing the group directly.

One can imagine what ghosts and humans are thinking. The former is unsure and afraid of saying the wrong thing, and the same is true for the latter.

At this moment, in a corner on the fifth floor of Area D, Ke Lan was squatting alone behind a huge flower pot.

He looked at his phone with a strange expression.

I wanted to try to call Luo Xi several times to ask what was going on and what plans were next, but I held back.

It was not because of any other concerns, but because Luo Xi had told me in private before that I could not call him after they separated.

Ke Lan was also shocked when he heard it at that time. What was even more shocking was that Luo Xi told him at that time that Lin Qiqi was not Lin Qiqi, but a ghost pretending to be her. Wu Rui might also have a problem, including Guo Zening. If he could be sure that there were a few normal people among the four of them, he would send the corresponding number to the group.

After Ke Lan and the other three arrived at Area D, Lin Qiqi indeed behaved strangely.

This made Ke Lan certain that there was something wrong with Lin Qiqi.

In addition, the same thing happened to Wu Rui. However, Guo Zening was taken away by Wu Rui when he arrived at Area D and never came back.

There was no way to confirm it, so Ke Lan could only reply with a '1' in the group at that time.

That was Luo Xi's instruction, including Ke Lan himself, and a few normal people were sent the corresponding numbers.

Sending '1' means that except for Ke Lan, the other three have problems, which is also the worst case scenario.

"What does this photo that Luo Xi posted mean? Also, where did this big rabbit come from? It's so big, could it be a spirit?" Ke Lan looked at the photo, and the weird feeling gave him goose bumps.

This "Haunted Mansion" is really too weird.

It can be said that this is the weirdest and most confusing place among all the levels he has experienced.

Even scarier than the First Hospital.

At least in the First Hospital, there is no evil spirit that can replace his companions without anyone noticing.

Ke Lan used to be a lone ranger, and he was alone in many scenes. He was very capable and intelligent. If he hadn't met Luo Xi, he would not team up with others because Ke Lan didn't like people who were weaker than him.

In his opinion, that was purely a suicidal act. After all, if he teamed up with an idiot, he would only end up hurting himself.

After the initial shock, Ke Lan discovered something else in the photo.

In addition to the big rabbit, there are three other people.

There were two people that Ke Lan knew, Fatty Qian and Brother Mao. Together with another woman, they suppressed the big rabbit.

"So, Fatty Qian and Brother Mao are fine now, who is that woman?" Ke Lan felt a little curious, but soon he thought of something: "They must be from the Awakener Association, which means Luo Xi has found some people who were originally trapped here. I don't know them, but Liang Qu and the others know them. So, this photo is also for Liang Qu and the others. Wait a minute, Luo Xi sent out the photos of these people as a reminder. If you meet the people in the photos in other places, you can be 100% sure that they are pretending to be ghosts. He actually wants to convey this information."

Ke Lan murmured to himself. He didn't know whether this interpretation was correct or not. He could only try his best to follow Luo Xi's line of thought and analyze the hidden subtext of this photo based on his understanding of Luo Xi.

"You only post photos and don't talk. This means there are evil people in the group, and there are many of them!"

"There are also many strange patterns on the photo. There is the Bagua on the floor and a talisman hanging behind it. What kind of place is this? Wait a minute, Bagua? This pattern can be found in the place I just visited."

Ke Lan suddenly reacted.

He discovered the subtext of Luo Xi's posting of this photo. If he was just taking a picture of the rabbit, he could have zoomed in and only included the rabbit, but Luo Xi also took pictures of some of the situations in the room.

Of course, most people would not study things like the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements, but Ke Lan is not an ordinary person.

He is a solitary person, a player who likes to play games and all kinds of strange and mysterious events. Even if he has not studied it in depth, he can still distinguish the hexagrams of the Eight Diagrams.

So Ke Lan immediately stood up, walked back the way he had just come, and stopped in front of a door.

This is the fourth floor of Area D. In front of you is an iron door with a mark on it.

It is the Li Gua (), representing fire, beauty, brightness, and passion. The direction is due south.
When passing by just now, Ke Lan felt curious, but because the building was very messy with all kinds of messy things appearing one after another, there seemed to be no special meaning for having a Li Gua on the door of a house.

But when he saw the photo sent by Luo Xi, he immediately realized that this might be the key to breaking through the level scene.

"It must be. Luo Xi, this is a secret code, a bait. With his ability, he must know that I can understand the hidden message in this photo." Ke Lan suddenly became excited.

That feeling is extremely fulfilling.

It feels like solving a difficult problem, or like winning a lottery, or like his talented horse has met its rightful mentor. This feeling is truly ecstasy.

But soon Ke Lan discovered the problem.

"That's not right. In this direction, the Li Gua is due south, but I'm in area D. According to the direction, it should be due west, which is the 'Dui Gua'." Although Ke Lan didn't know much about the Eight Trigrams, he was clear about the basic directions.

"Luo Xi is in Area A. According to the orientation of the entire building, he is in the east, which is correct. So he should be in the Zhen Gua, and my side should be in the west, the Dui Gua. But why is my side in the south, the Li Gua?"

Ke Lan was completely puzzled at this moment.

"There is a problem. The direction is correct, but the hexagram is wrong. Wait a minute. The room where Luo Xi caught the rabbit has Taoist elements. Is it the home of the big rabbit? Is it a Taoist rabbit? Could it be that the culprit who messed up the hexagram here is the big rabbit?"

Ke Lan came to this conclusion based on the photo and the chaotic hexagrams in front of him. "So, Luo Xi caught the rabbit, which means that the rabbit is an enemy, and anything done by the enemy must be disadvantageous to us; conversely, as long as the enemy opposes it, then we must do it, I understand"

Ke Lan slapped his thigh.

"Luo Xi wanted me to correct the hexagram that was deliberately mislabeled. Ha, I'm so smart. This is the real reason why he posted the photo."

Thinking of this, waves of climax filled Ke Lan's mind. At this moment, he felt that he was different from others, and he also felt a mutual understanding with Luo Xi.

At that moment, Ke Lan used local materials and found half a bucket of paint that was placed in the corridor by someone. He poured it directly on the iron gate. That was not enough. He then covered it with newspapers. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. The original appearance of the entire iron gate could no longer be recognized. As for the hexagrams on it, they were also covered by paint and newspapers.

"If just covering up the hexagram is not enough, we have to find a way to correct it." Thinking of this, Ke Lan took out another piece of paper, drew a Dui hexagram () with the pen he carried with him, and pasted it on the door.

Ke Lan looked at it and shook his head.

"No, no, this won't work. Dui Gua belongs to metal. I'd better engrave it on metal, but the problem is how to engrave it? I don't have any tools."

He scratched his head, looking distressed.

"Wait a minute." Ke Lan thought of another thing at this time.

"Why this room?" He knew that there were many rooms in Area D and so many households, so why was the wrong hexagram only at the door?

So naturally, he began to wonder what was in the room.

Ke Lan began to peek in through the nearby window.

But it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.

I pulled the door, but it wouldn't open; it was locked.

After thinking about it, Ke Lan summoned his card book and took out two cards from it, one [Break the Door] and one [Mana].

"This [Break Door] is my treasure. Normally, I would be reluctant to use it. But the current situation is not an ordinary one, so... break it for me!" Ke Lan made up his mind at this moment and cast the card directly on the door.

To activate [Break the Door], one [Mana] is consumed, and after the two cards instantly turned into streams of light, a powerful force was attached to the anti-theft metal door. Two seconds later, there was a loud bang, and the anti-theft door was like being hit by an invisible cannonball.

It flew straight inside, denting the metal door.

The noise could be heard in the four areas of ABCD.

"What's that sound?" On a certain floor of Area C, Liang Qu suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of Area D.

There were several people following him, but none of them said anything. Instead, they all looked towards Area D with strange expressions.

"Did someone use a card?" Liang Qu was experienced. He thought about it and decided: "Go and take a look."

Others did not object.

"Come to think of it, why do I feel like you guys are hiding something from me?" Liang Qu suddenly said at this time.

One of the Recallers was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Qiu, why do you think so? When have the brothers ever kept it from you? Is there something wrong that you feel is wrong?"

"Yeah, sometimes you guys have problems with your eyes, and I always feel that you guys are different from before." Liang Qu was completely relying on his feelings, and he just said it casually. After all, if he really noticed something, he wouldn't say it to your face.

"No way, Brother Ball, you are too nervous. That's right, we haven't found anything so far, and the things we encounter are getting weirder and weirder. Not to mention you, I also feel something is wrong."

"Yeah, me too."

"it's the same."

"Is that really the case?" Liang Qu scratched his head.

He looked skeptical, but there was really no real evidence.

To go to Area D, they must pass through the corridors on the first, fifth or ninth floors. At the moment, they are on the seventh floor. According to him, they only need to go up two floors to reach the ninth floor.

When he reached the eighth floor, Liang Qu was attracted by a sudden sound coming from the inside of the eighth floor.

It seemed that someone had accidentally knocked over the bottle.

When he led his men over, he found a beer bottle that had just rolled over in the corner.

Someone was about to go forward to investigate, but Liang Qu stopped him with his hand, and looked at a cardboard box next to him.

The next moment, the cardboard box was lifted up and a man rushed over.

Someone is attacking!

But close combat is Liang Qu's strong point. Not to mention that the opponent is unarmed, even if he has a weapon, it will be useless in front of him.

He just casually grabbed the other person's wrist.

But the next moment, Liang Qu was stunned.

"An girl, why is it you?"
