Chapter 204: Space Affected by the Hexagram

Zhang Ming mentioned Wu Rui. This girl was also investigating the scene. However, if you don’t know the gossip and the descriptions of ghosts in the Taoist Canon, it is difficult to find out the key information hidden in this scene.

Wu Rui has potential, but she still needs time to grow.

Lin Qiqi might be able to find out something.

Her knowledge and abilities far exceed Ke Lan's.

So, if Ke Lan can see it, Lin Qiqi can definitely do it too.

The two of them are the real helpers that Luo Xi can rely on in this situation right now.

It’s just that Lin Qiqi was the first one to be replaced by the ghost.

"So, is the mechanism for replacing roll calls really random?" Luo Xi had a doubt at this moment.

The reason is very simple. In this scene, Lin Qiqi's ability of "Soul Peeping" is absolutely like a "nemesis" to those ghosts. Evil ghosts are related to the soul, and Lin Qiqi can tell the strength and attributes of the ghosts at a glance.

If she were there, it would be very easy to figure out the rules of the scene in the first place.

But on the first dark night after entering the venue, she was replaced and the situation instantly turned into difficult mode. Luo Xi absolutely did not believe that it happened randomly.

"At the very least, the roll call could be interfered with by some force, or Lin Qiqi would have been tagged when entering the venue and would have been the first target." These things were difficult to detect at the time, but problems could be discovered in retrospect.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi smiled.

"But you underestimated Lin Qiqi. Ke Lan was able to survive and destroy a disordered hexagram, not to mention a veteran like Lin Qiqi. She is an important trump card of mine."

"Oh, right!" Luo Xi looked at Zhang Ming who was pushing the wheelchair and said, "Have you ever met anyone other than us who can recall memories?"

I believe Zhang Ming can understand this sentence.

The latter thought for a while and said, "I haven't encountered them, but I can sense the presence of other Memory Collectors. For example, it seems that some people are hunting the monster that beats the drum, but they seem to have failed several times. These people are definitely not from the Awakener Association. I can be sure of that."

"Also, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's cold, and these weather changes happen in a very short time. Can you understand it? It was raining one minute, and the next minute there was light coming through the fog."

When saying this, Zhang Ming tried his best to explain it clearly, fearing that Luo Xi would not believe it.

But in fact, Luo Xixin.

"Changes in the hexagram will cause changes in the environment, so is this a space that can be affected by the hexagram?" Luo Xi made a new discovery.

This space where the "scapegoat" can only exist during the day is obviously a very special place.

Only the "living people" who have been replaced by the dead ghosts can enter, and they can only enter during the day. At the same time, there are monsters with "hexagrams", such as the "Dui hexagram" in the shrine before, which corresponds to the "Zhong Kui" who eats ghosts, and Luo Xi can be sure that the "fog ghost" hidden in the fog must correspond to the "Kan hexagram", because the Kan hexagram belongs to water, and fog is water in the wind.
"What about the ghost that beats the drum? Yes, I got it. There is a description in the Daoist Canon: When the drum sounds, a blue-faced ghost appears, more than ten feet long, with raised horns and fangs, hairy arms and scaly backs, and likes to eat cooked chicken and drink muddy wine. If you pierce its flesh with a spear, the ghost will be frightened and fly into the sea. It can be trapped, and Buddhist scriptures can be chanted to make it a righteous ghost."

Luo Xi would tap his fingers unconsciously when he was thinking, but this time, his fingers were unconsciously placed on An Zhiyan's chest, so the tapping of his fingers up and down caused some torment to the person below.

But An Zhiyan couldn't move at all, but she didn't make any "wuwu" to express her refusal.

Because Luo Xi muttered softly, she could hear it.

She had extraordinary hearing and could hear clearly those mumblings that ordinary people could not hear.

"Just relying on some scattered clues and some knowledge, he was able to infer the key to passing the level. Sure enough, Xiaoru said that he is better than Lin Yixuan, and it was not an exaggeration." This is what An Zhiyan was thinking at the moment.

"Zhang Ming!" Luo Xi spoke at this time.

"Um, what?"

"You just said someone was hunting the ghost that beat the drum."

"Yes, I am sure of that."

"That is to say, there are still people collecting hexagrams, but they don't seem to know the key. If they knew, it would not be difficult to catch the drum-beating ghost." Luo Xi could judge the level of the other group of memory collectors from this point.

At this time, the time change bell and broadcast sounded.

"Please note that the day ends and the night begins!"

Zhang Ming was a little excited. Luo Xi had just said that in order to get rid of the identity of a "ghost", he must find a living person who knows him after switching to the dark space, and make the other person admit who he is, then he can get it back.

To be honest, she didn't want to keep being a 'ghost'.

"Area A, fifth floor, go find Fatty Qian and Yu Xiaoru, they can prove your identity." Luo Xi instructed, "Also tell them to keep your current identity as a living person and don't let anyone call you out, otherwise you will lose everything."

Zhang Ming hurriedly wrote it down, but she reacted quickly.

"Aren't you going?"

"I have other things to deal with." Luo Xi nodded.

Zhang Ming realized that what Luo Xi said could only be dealt with in the identity of "ghost".

"Okay, I will find them and convey your words. Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Gone!"

In the dark night, hundreds of ghosts came out. Luo Xi pushed the wheelchair by himself and asked An Zhiyan in a low voice.

"Although you are paralyzed, you have extraordinary hearing. I know you must have heard some key information and intelligence. However, except for your neck and head, you can't move other parts of your body. Even if you want to transmit information, you can't do it. But if you find Lin Qiqi, this will not be a problem. She has the ability to transmit information without speaking. So, you have to use your extraordinary hearing to help me find her."

"I know you don't know her and you haven't heard her voice. I can only give you a brief description. She speaks very arrogantly. Also, if you hear a cool female voice mumbling and mentioning my name, it's most likely her. It's still the same old rule. Have you heard it?"

Luo Xi asked.

An Zhiyan blinked.

"Very good, take me to find her. I'll ask you when we reach the intersection." Luo Xi controlled the wheelchair and passed through some evil spirits. The identity of "ghost" came into play at this time. Although it seemed dangerous, he would not be attacked by other evil spirits.

Luo Xi has already understood most of the gameplay and rules of this level scene, and can now play the game happily.

Next, Luo Xi would ask An Zhiyan when he went upstairs or downstairs or at intersections, and she would convey information by blinking.

However, using a wheelchair is indeed very time-consuming. This time, he reached the eleventh floor of Area C just as the night was about to end.

This is the top floor. "She's on this floor?"

Blink twice to indicate no.

"Higher?"

Blink once.

"Rooftop?"

Blink once.

Luo Xi smiled. Lin Qiqi actually reached the rooftop.

Yes, since the level scene is this building, the rooftop is of course part of the scene range.

And if you want to catch the 'Ghost in the Mist', the best place is the roof.

Luo Xi suddenly guessed what Lin Qiqi was doing up there.

But the problem came again.

There is no elevator on the roof, so one needs to climb up the fire ladder. This fire ladder is pointed upward at 90 degrees and embedded in the wall in a vertical arrangement. Not to mention a disabled person, even someone with good hands and feet would not find it easy to climb up.

"Woo woo woo!" An Zhiyan made a sound at this time.

Luo Xi glanced at her.

"Is there anyone else on the roof?"

Blinked.

"Understood!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"They're coming down?"

Blinked again.

Luo Xi realized that something was wrong. It was very simple to interpret what An Zhiyan wanted to convey. He could tell from her expression along with the whimpering sound. If it was good, she would smile. If it was bad, she would have a serious or fearful expression. If it was neither good nor bad, she would have no expression.

Just now, her expression was extremely serious.

This means that something happened up there. If someone wants to come down, it can only be said that Lin Qiqi will either be killed or captured.

Luo Xi didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult situation as soon as he arrived here. What's more, his current condition is not good. He is a disabled ghost without legs, and there is a paralyzed ghost sitting on him. How can such a combination have any combat power?

But things still need to be done.

Luo Xi turned his head and saw a mirror among the furniture piled over there.

He immediately thought of an idea.

He rolled the wheelchair over, picked up the mirror, and hung it on a nail on the wall over there. He quickly adjusted the angle, then took out the "Dui Gua" that he had found before and hung it on the other side of the mirror.

An Zhiyan looked at Luo Xi's behavior and was very puzzled.

After quickly arranging everything, Luo Xi rolled his wheelchair and hid in the corner next to him.

Just as I hid, the cover of the passage leading to the roof was lifted and someone climbed down.

One, two, three.

Four!

There were four people in total, but Luo Xi knew one of them.

It was Lin Qiqi.

But there was a glowing purple talisman stuck on Lin Qiqi's forehead, and her body was a little stiff when she moved, as if she was controlled by some force. Her expression was very angry, with murderous intent but also helpless.

"As expected of you, you are the Seventh Brother. You are very difficult to deal with. If you hadn't interfered with our plans, this situation would not have happened." Someone spoke up.

"Hippo, do you know this woman?" another person asked.

"I know him. We worked together on a level scene before. If you don't know the name of Brother Qi, then what about Soul Peeper?"

"So she is the Soul Peeper. What a pity. If her abilities were added to ours, things would be much easier."

"I offered her an olive branch, but there was nothing I could do if she didn't accept it. In this situation, I can only strip her ring and kill her. But she has a strong personality and is very beautiful."

"Hippo, I know what you're thinking. Now is not the time to do that kind of thing. Besides, do you still need a woman? It's more important to do business."

"I know, haha, I'm just saying."

The three of them were chatting, and one of them was holding a purple talisman in his hand, which seemed to be the same thing as the one stuck on Lin Qiqi's head.

Just then, someone discovered the mirror on the wall and the iron plate of Dui Gua hanging on the other side.

"what is this?"

"Oh no, this is Liu San coming to redeem, retreat quickly"

Before he could even finish his words, two knives appeared from nowhere and pierced the man from behind.

One knife pierced the neck and the other pierced the heart.

The man stared with blood gushing out of his mouth. He wanted to say something but still fell to the ground.

The same goes for the other two people.

The knife that appeared at the same time also pierced them.

Almost instantly, the three men fell to the ground and died.
