Chapter 202: Keep the Shrine Safe

Chapter 202: Keep the Shrine Safe
An Zhiyan is indeed very unlucky.

She was 'named' and replaced by a ghost without even realizing the situation, and then she was found to be a ghost paralyzed in bed.

As the person who was able to keep the Awakener Association going after Lin Yixuan's disappearance, An Zhiyan is very capable in all aspects.

At least most of the people who recall memories cannot be compared with her.

But the situation she encountered this time was too special.

There is absolutely no room to display one's abilities.

She couldn't even summon the card book.

So she was desperate, and there was nothing she could do except lie in bed and wait and make the "woooo" sound that could only be made by effort. If possible, she would rather commit suicide to get rid of her current situation.

But she is not an ordinary person after all. After lying in bed for several days and nights, An Zhiyan slowly adjusted her mentality and discovered something special about her.

She has a very strong sense of perception and hearing.

This ability should come from this 'paralyzed ghost'. Because she cannot move, her perception and hearing are more acute. She can even hear a kind of footsteps that are difficult to detect.

The footsteps kept wandering outside.

With an extreme danger.

An Zhiyan analyzed that the footsteps she heard must be very special.

At this moment, An Zhiyan heard the footsteps again, and she was sure that the footsteps were approaching this side quickly.

So she tried hard to make a "woooo" sound, trying to warn Luo Xi.

Luo Xi naturally also noticed An Zhiyan's abnormality.

He used his hands to straighten her face, and the two of them looked at each other face to face.

An Zhiyan's eyes were darting around and she was whimpering, her anxiety evident in her words.

"Understood!"

Luo Xi looked around, moved the wheelchair to the corner next to the corridor, then grabbed a torn plastic sheet and covered himself and An Zhiyan with it.

There's no way, this is the situation, they can't hide in the closet or in the cardboard boxes, they can only hide like this.

Obviously, the idea of ​​'hide and seek' runs through the entire building from the moment you enter it.

Even if you become a 'ghost', you have to hide.

Not long after hiding, An Zhiyan stopped whimpering, but her fear did not diminish at all, instead it reached a higher level.

At this moment, Luo Xi also heard a low sound of footsteps.

Under the plastic sheet, Luo Xi took a close look at An Zhiyan.

The latter immediately felt like he was being seen through.

"Do you sense danger?" Luo Xi asked in her ear in a very low voice.

An Zhiyan nodded slightly.

The two of them didn't make any other moves after that, because the footsteps were already very close.

An Zhiyan's fear reached its peak at this moment, while Luo Xi listened carefully. Fortunately, the thing did not discover them, but just lingered for a while and then left.

At the same time, the tingling feeling of oppression also faded away.

After waiting for a while, Luo Xi lifted the plastic sheet.

"Humanoid, over two meters tall, maybe two meters and one, weighing over two hundred kilograms, slightly fat, and the shoe prints are very rare." Luo Xi muttered to himself while staring at the ground.

An Zhiyan also tried to look down, but the footprints on the ground were so messy that she would not be able to tell them at all.

How did Luo Xi figure that out?

She had heard of a special ability.

Memory editing is to write down a certain picture you have seen. This writing down is called "picture memory", which includes many details. Later, you can compare it with the same picture in different time periods. However, 99.9% of people in the world cannot do this.

That requires extremely strong memory and observation skills.

More often than not, a 'camera' is used to compare and capture the differences.

Luo Xi doesn't have these things, so he can only rely on his super memory.

At this time Luo Xi glanced at An Zhiyan.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions. You just need to answer yes or no. Blink once for yes, blink twice for no, and blink three times for not sure. Do you understand?"

After asking, An Zhiyan blinked.

"Okay, my first question is, you can hear footsteps that normal people can't hear, right?"

Blinked.

"The footsteps here that made you feel dangerous must be that thing just now, right?"

Blinked again.

"Besides that thing just now, can you hear other people's footsteps?"

An Zhiyan thought about it, blinked three times, but soon blinked again.

"I see. You can hear it, but no one has been near here before, so you're not so sure."

At this moment, An Zhiyan's eyes widened, probably thinking, could this Luo Xi be able to read minds? He actually guessed exactly right.

"It's a wise decision to bring you out." After saying that, Luo Xi controlled the wheelchair to the elevator and pressed the down button with a mop handle in his hand.

Before this, he already knew that this was the tenth floor.

It was unknown which district it was, and now Luo Xi needed to go down to the ninth floor, because there were connecting passages between the four districts on the ninth floor. This required him to first determine his location, and then, after entering the "darkness", he could find Fatty Qian and the others to change their identities.

Or, just go down to the first floor, which might be safer.

Because we already know that there is a danger here, that is, the previous footsteps were on the tenth floor, so the farther we are from the other party, the safer we are.

The time waiting for the elevator to arrive is not long, but it is very dangerous, because one of them is disabled and the other is paralyzed, and they have almost no mobility, and it is difficult for them to react in time if they encounter danger.

But God did leave a window when he closed the door. An Zhiyan has extraordinary hearing and perception abilities, so if there is real danger, she can use "woohoo" to warn immediately.

Just as the elevator was about to come up, Luo Xi actually controlled the wheelchair to the corner and covered the two of them with the plastic sheet again.

"Wow, wow, wow!" An Zhiyan was a little anxious, not knowing what Luo Xi was talking about.

Ding!
The elevator has arrived.

The sound was crisp, and almost the next moment, hurried footsteps began to come from far away, and the terrifying feeling of oppression came like a sudden thunderstorm, unexpectedly.

At this moment, An Zhiyan stopped whimpering and she reacted.

The severed limbs and arms found earlier were near the elevator entrance, which means that this unlucky guy might have been attacked while waiting for the elevator.

Therefore, the sound of the elevator may attract the 'footsteps'.

Luo Xi just predicted this possibility.

The footsteps searched everywhere, but it seemed that the other party was not good at playing hide-and-seek and would not lift the plastic sheet to look.

Otherwise, Luo Xi and the others would have been discovered long ago.

After the footsteps left, Luo Xi said, "The elevator cannot be used unless we kill it first."

"Woo woo woo?" An Zhiyan was shocked.

"Of course, we have to get rid of that footsteps, otherwise we can't leave."

"Woo woo woo woo!" There was doubt in An Zhiyan's eyes.

"Why should I? Oh, you will know in a moment."

At this moment, An Zhiyan's inner monologue was, how did this guy hear what I wanted to say from my "wooooooooooo"? Moreover, it was almost word for word?
Next, Luo Xi asked her to track the location of the footsteps, while they explored the tenth floor while maintaining a safe distance.

To be honest, An Zhiyan didn't find anything special. Apart from the fog, the building was still the same as before, dilapidated and full of debris. In this case, even if there were any clues, it would be difficult to identify them in such a mess.

But Luo Xizhen happened to discover the clue.

"There is a shrine at the door of this house. The shrine is empty and the statue is gone. On the back of the shrine are written the words 'Wan Ying'. Wan Ying is the position of Zhong Kui. Do you know Zhong Kui? In Taoism, he is the god of all things. His duty is to catch ghosts and eat ghosts. So the footsteps are most likely coming from this god."

Hearing Luo Xi's words, An Zhiyan hoped that this was nonsense, but she had to admit that the documents Luo Xi found did point to this possibility.

Moreover, the other party eats ghosts, so aren’t their current identities ‘ghosts’?
All right!

But if it is really as Luo Xi said, then their opponent is "God", at least, the "God" in this scene, is there any way to survive?

At this moment, Luo Xi was studying the shrine that looked like a hollow wooden box.

To be honest, this thing was mixed in with all kinds of sundries. If Luo Xi hadn't found it, she wouldn't have known that this was a shrine.

Luo Xi looked carefully and found that under the words "Wan Ying", there was another line of small words, which read "Chikan Ping An".

Then Luo Xi shook.

I heard something clanging inside, and it was obvious that there was something going on.

Then, a wooden stick was pulled out from below, and the partition under the shrine immediately fell off, along with a palm-sized disc.

It is made of metal, similar to copper, and has a hexagram engraved in the center, "Dui".

Just then, An Zhiyan suddenly started to whine non-stop with a terrified expression.

Luo Xi was not in a panic. He pointed to the small words on the back of the shrine: "Keep the shrine safe!"

An Zhiyan whimpered and shook her head. What does that mean, 'what if something isn't safe'?

"People who design scenes must follow the rules. You have to know that this is just a playground. No matter how real everything we experience is, it is just a designed game. As long as it is a game, you must follow the rules."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xi heard the footsteps. The other party was very fast, but this time, Luo Xi did not hide. He just watched a tall figure walking quickly towards him in the fog in the distance.

It’s the same as Luo Xi’s judgment.

The other person was over two meters tall, with a strong physique, a leopard head, round eyes, an iron face, curly beard, and wore black shoes and official uniform.

It really matches the image of Zhong Kui in the legend, but there are also differences. We can only say that this existence in the scene is not a real "god", but just a scene character.

This 'Zhong Kui' came closer, but did not take any action. Instead, he looked at the shrine in Luo Xi's hand. Finally, his body flashed and turned into a black light and drilled into the shrine.

Looking again, there is a new statue in the shrine, which looks exactly like the "Zhong Kui" we just saw.

Everything happened so fast that An Zhiyan felt like she had been to the gates of hell several times.

It feels like a roller coaster. It’s thrilling, but I don’t want to do it again.

Luo Xi still held the shrine and controlled the wheelchair to the elevator entrance. This time, he entered smoothly.
