Under the dark night, there is a secluded deep valley.

The deep valley is located in the west of the supernatural area, the terrain is steep, and the surrounding strange rocks are craggy, like ghosts entrenched on the ground, and it looks even more eerie in the dark valley, it is the legendary ghost valley.

The Ghost Valley is one of the scenic spots in the supernatural area to experience the supernatural atmosphere, and legend has it that there are ghosts haunted in the valley, and if you are lucky, you can even meet female ghosts.

Despite this, there are very few people who dare to go to the Ghost Valley for life experience, on the one hand, they are afraid of ghosts, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being trapped in the valley.

The Ghost Valley is like a labyrinth with 24 layers of ghost gates, and if you can't choose the correct route from it, you will go astray and end up going back and forth in the Ghost Valley, unable to escape.

As a result, only a very small number of people dared to enter the Ghost Valley, they were basically students of the supernatural department, and most of them came together in groups.

It was ten o'clock in the night, and the valley was empty, dead silent.

Rustle!

Clear footsteps came, and I saw a petite girl figure running from the east, carrying a pink backpack and a flashlight, it was Wang Lanlan.

"Huh?"

After running for more than a hundred meters, a row of giant skulls appeared in the valley in front of them, and there were a total of twelve.

Each skull is about five meters tall, and the two eyes on the skull are two gates, which are the legendary ghost gates.

This is the first layer of ghost gates, and there are twenty-four ghost gates in total.

"It's finally here!"

Seeing the ghost gate, Wang Lanlan's face showed joy, this should be the entrance to the ghost valley.

Big eyes blinked. Wang Lanlan looked at the twelve giant skulls in front of him, and began to silently count the order of the ghost gate from left to right: "1...... 2…… 3…… 4……”

Only choose the right ghost gate. to pass through the Ghost Valley.

There are 24 floors in the Ghost Gate, and there are 24 ghost doors on each floor. If you rely on pure luck, the probability of successfully passing 24 ghost gates in a row is about 1 in 1.3 billion, which is hundreds of millions of times lower than the probability of winning the 5 million jackpot.

Even if Wang Lanlan's luck is against the sky, it is impossible to pass smoothly.

Fortunately, before coming to the supernatural area, Lao Jun had already told Wang Lanlan the correct route of the Ghost Valley, and Wang Lanlan only needed to follow the established route.

“14…… 15…… 16！”

After counting the eighth skull, Wang Lanlan flew over and entered the Ghost Valley through the gate of the skull's right eye.

Pass through the first level of the ghost gate. Wang Lanlan came to another valley, and it was still dark in the valley.

Wang Lanlan didn't linger, took a flashlight, and quickly ran in the direction of the west, and after passing through a group of strange rocks, 12 giant skulls appeared in front of him.

This is the second level of the ghost gate.

“1…… 2…… 3……”

When the left eye of the fifth skull was counted, Wang Lanlan ran in.

After that, Wang Lanlan broke through the seven-story ghost gate in a row, and the journey was smooth. I didn't encounter any difficulties, let alone ghosts.

After passing through the Ninth Layer Ghost Gate, Wang Lanlan entered a brand new valley, and she continued to run in the direction of the west.

When she gallops. Completely unaware of the fact that there were twenty-four men in black hidden behind the strange rocks of this valley.

"Behold, a little girl has entered the valley. The man in black reminded him.

"It seems to be her!" The man in black looked at Wang Lanlan's appearance carefully, and his eyes showed a strange look.

"She? you mean ......."

"That's right! It's the schoolgirl Wang Lanlan who created "Detective Wang Nan's Big Bird Strange Case"!"

Wang Lanlan really appeared! She seemed to be about to enter the next layer of the ghost gate. We hurried to catch up with her, she probably knew the route to the haunted house library. ”

After the discussion. The man in black in the twenty-fourth immediately got up and secretly followed behind Wang Lanlan. After a short time, he came to the tenth layer of the ghost gate.

Wang Lanlan stopped, opened a pair of big eyes, and began to count silently into the eyes of a row of giant skulls: "1...... 2…… 3……”

Twenty-four men in black lurked quietly to the side, watching what happened.

When the number '18' was reached, Wang Lanlan rushed into the right eye of the ninth skull.

"Wang Lanlan entered the eighteenth Ghost Gate Pass, this should be the correct route, let's follow immediately!"

Twenty-four men in black caught up with Wang Lanlan at the same time, and entered the No. 18 Ghost Gate Pass together, preparing to continue to follow Wang Lanlan.

"Strange, why is Wang Lanlan gone?"

After entering, the twenty-four men in black were surprised to find that they had lost Wang Lanlan.

"How is that possible?" said the man in black, "Wang Lanlan obviously entered through this ghost door, how could he suddenly disappear?"

"Maybe the design of the Ghost Gate Pass is more complicated than we imagined, and we can't track Wang Lanlan at all. The man in black analyzed, "Even if we and Wang Lanlan rushed into the same door, we might enter different valleys, which is related to our previous actions. ”

"So what now?"

"Wang Lanlan has already lost it, let's leave first and guard outside the Ghost Valley. After Wang Lanlan came out, we continued to follow her. ”

After saying that, the twenty-four men in black turned around and walked back, looking for an exit to leave the ghost gate.

……

"Whew-"

It's a new valley again, Wang Lanlan took a breath, she had successfully passed the twenty-third layer of the Ghost Gate, as long as she broke through the last layer, she would be able to pass through the Ghost Valley.

“7…… 8…… 9…… 10！”

Coming to the twenty-fourth floor of the ghost gate, Wang Lanlan counted again, and then rushed into the right eye of the fifth skull.

After passing through the last skull door, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Ahead is no longer a gloomy valley, but an empty mountainous area, and looking westward, you can faintly see a lake five hundred meters away!

Ghost Lake!

"Found it, hee-hee!"

Wang Lanlan ran all the way and hurriedly ran to the shore of the ghost lake.

The surroundings of the ghost lake are unusually quiet, and there is no sign of life in sight, and it is isolated from the rest of the world. I'm afraid no one has ever been here.

Wang Lanlan originally wanted to go around, but time didn't allow it at all. Because the haunted house at the bottom of the lake is about to open, she must quickly dive to the bottom of the lake.

Come to think of it. Wang Lanlan took off her backpack, took out a simple diving suit, put it on herself, and put on an oxygen mask.

Everything was ready, and with a plop, Wang Lanlan jumped into the ghost lake, paddling desperately with a pair of small hands, and her petite body sank rapidly.

After a while, Wang Lanlan arrived at a depth of about 100 meters. At this time, the body suddenly fell several meters and directly reached the bottom of the lake.

When her legs stood at the bottom of the lake, Wang Lanlan was stunned for a moment, because there was no water at the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake is like a basement, and the water above the head has become the ceiling, and the lake water floats strangely in the air, as if it is supported by an invisible force, and it does not flow down.

Wang Lanlan's eyes showed surprise. I couldn't help but poke the layer of water above my head with my finger, and the layer of water shook like tofu, and ripples rippled in the waters above, a moment later. Calm returned.

"It's amazing. ”

Wang Lanlan couldn't help but poke a few more times, she didn't know why the water was suspended in the air, she only remembered that Lao Jun once said. This ghost lake was designed by the northern setting of the Liushu King [Dream into the Divine Universe], and uses a special buoyancy structure.

Retract your thoughts. Wang Lanlan looked around at the bottom of the lake and found a dark door.

This black door stands on the lake wall on the west side of the lake bottom. It should be the entrance to the haunted house.

On the door of the haunted house is a devilish monster with six heads, twelve pairs of feet, teeth and claws, and a hideous face, which looks quite terrifying and terrifying.

Wang Lanlan hurriedly took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the black door of the haunted house, and after taking the photos, she began to take selfies again.

It's rare to come to Ghost Lake, of course, take some photos as a souvenir.

After taking the photo, Wang Lanlan looked at the time, it was 11:43 in the middle of the night, and there were still 17 minutes before the haunted house opened.

Idle is also idle, so Wang Lanlan continued to play selfies, and took more than 100 photos in front of the haunted house, from all angles and expressions.

Time passes by the second.

0:00 a.m.

Airplanes!

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the black door of the haunted house, and the monster pattern on the door lit up with colorful light, and flowed in, turning faster and faster, and finally turning into a cycle of streamers.

Rumble!

After a loud bang, Wang Lanlan only felt that the bottom of the lake trembled slightly, the streamer dissipated, and the black door of the haunted house slowly opened, and another space appeared behind him.

"The haunted house is really open!"

Wang Lanlan was a little excited, the situation was exactly the same as what Grandpa Lao Jun said, the haunted house would open by itself at 0:00 a.m. on a full moon night.

Wang Lanlan rushed into the haunted house quickly.

The haunted house is only about 100 square meters, and the four walls are inky black, with many strange patterns carved on them.

There are a total of twelve bookshelves in the house, each of which is the skeleton of a human bone, made of hundreds of white human bones, with a very different shape, just like a beautiful work of art, Wang Lanlan couldn't help but take pictures.

On each skeleton, there are two books, one on the left hand of the skeleton and one on the right hand of the skeleton.

Twelve skeletons, a total of twenty-four books.

Wang Lanlan walked to the first skeleton, only to see a pink-covered novel in the left hand of the skeleton, called "Romeo and Juliet", written by William Shakespeare.

"Romeo and Juliet?"

Wang Lanlan had never heard of this title, so she stretched out her little hand and carefully took "Romeo and Juliet" from the skeleton and flipped through it.

"This seems to be a romance novel?"

After reading it for a while, Wang Lanlan put "Romeo and Juliet" back on the skeleton, her eyes drifted, and she saw that the skeleton's right hand was holding another novel, titled "War and Peace".

The author's name is Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy.

"This author's name is so long!"

Seeing the author's name, Wang Lanlan was a little dizzy, so she walked to the second skeleton.

There are also two novels on the second skeleton, one is Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City", and the other is Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Golden Bottle Plum".

"The title of the book is so strange, is it a treasure appreciation novel?"

With curiosity, Wang Lanlan took "Golden Bottle Plum" from the skeleton and opened the novel. I read it carefully.

"Yikes!"

When reading the passage of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian in "Golden Bottle Plum", Wang Lanlan exclaimed. Two blushes flushed across his cheeks.

"It's a forbidden book!"

Wang Lanlan hurriedly put "Golden Bottle Plum" back into the skeleton, and then walked to the third skeleton.

The third skeleton still holds two novels. One is the martial arts novel "The Peerless Double Pride" written by Gu Long, and the other is the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" written by Liu Cixin.

Wang Lanlan flipped through more than a dozen pages of "The Three-Body Problem", which seemed to be a little complicated, so she put it back and continued to watch "The Peerless Double Pride".

"The Peerless Twins" is still quite suitable for Wang Lanlan's reading taste, but she has limited time, so she stopped after reading two chapters and continued to look at other skeleton novels.

When she walked to the fourth skeleton, Wang Lanlan's eyes suddenly lit up. I saw a novel in the left hand of the skeleton - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

"Found it!"

Wang Lanlan couldn't wait to take down "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", turned a page, and the text that caught her eye was: "Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu beheading the white snake and ruled the world. Later, Guangwu Zhongxing was passed to Emperor Xian, and it was divided into three kingdoms......"

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Grandpa Lao Jun said.

Lao Jun once said that this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" uses a large number of techniques of "dividing and merging potentials". Wang Lanlan was naturally more interested in it.

When she was about to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she swept away and inadvertently found another novel on the right hand of the skeleton. It was Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Complete Sherlock Holmes Detective Works."

When she saw the word "detective" in the title of the book, Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up.

"Mystery novels?"

Wang Lanlan put "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" aside. Take down "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" and read it immediately.

After reading a dozen pages. Wang Lanlan was fascinated, this kind of reasoning novel is really her favorite genre.

Unconsciously, Wang Lanlan watched it for more than an hour, and after reading "The Study of Blood Letters" in "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", she was still unsatisfied.

The haunted house was only open for five hours, and Wang Lanlan had to leave the haunted house before dawn, so she had to resist the urge to read, put away "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and continued to watch the novels on other skeletons in the haunted house.

There are a total of 24 books in the haunted house, all of which Wang Lanlan has never heard of, and these novels are all of different genres, including romance novels, documentary novels, mystery novels, historical novels, martial arts novels, science fiction novels, and imperial novels.

Wang Lanlan roughly flipped through 24 novels and selected her favorite works.

Lao Jun once said that as long as Wang Lanlan likes all the novels in the haunted house, she can take them directly.

However, this haunted house is designed to be so hidden and full of mechanisms, Wang Lanlan expected that the 24 novels in the haunted house must be very precious and may be worth a fortune.

Wang Lanlan was really embarrassed to take all 24 novels in one go, and after repeated selection, she finally decided to take only two of them.

One is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the other is naturally "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes".

Packing the two novels into her backpack, Wang Lanlan left the haunted house and swam back to the shore from the bottom of the lake, ready to leave the ghost valley.

Leaving the Ghost Valley still needs to pass through the 24th floor of the Ghost Gate.

Wang Lanlan already knew the route out of the customs, so she easily passed through the 24th layer of the Ghost Gate Pass and successfully left the Ghost Valley.

When I came out, it was already past five o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky was white.

Returning home tonight, Wang Lanlan was in a good mood, singing and going to her dormitory.

Halfway through, twenty-four men in black in the valley were secretly watching her.

"Wang Lanlan came out of the Ghost Valley, did she really break through the 24th floor of the ghost gate and enter the haunted house library?"

"Wang Lanlan's backpack is much bulging than before, is her backpack filled with 24 copies of the "Book of Heaven" of the Reincarnation Palace?

"There's no hurry. It is still uncertain whether Wang Lanlan really got the 24 copies of the "Book of Heaven" of the Reincarnation Palace, so don't act rashly first, so as not to startle the snake. After Wang Lanlan returns to the dormitory, she will definitely open her backpack, and you will go with him to investigate. ”

"Understood. ”

After speaking, several men in black continued to quietly follow Wang Lanlan until she reached her dormitory building......

…… (To be continued......)
