CHAPTER XLIV. Small world
1
A door that looked like an iron plate and square tube welded, along with the door frame, was placed in the corner of the basement, next to some other miscellaneous items, and when you look past it, it is easy to ignore it as an old thing that has been demolished for renovation.
The whole set of doors and door frames were placed crookedly against the wall, and the doors were not tightly closed, and the cement of the back wall could be seen through the gap of a few centimeters.
When Sang Xiaoge came here, Mr. Lan on her shoulder suddenly asked her to stop.
"This is the door." It says.
β¦β¦
The building was indeed a factory, as can be seen from the large half-sunken factory building on the west side of the first floor, and even the traces of the dismantled machines on the ground. Sang Xiaoge walked around the building, but he couldn't find the lock for the third key. She even climbed up to the roof along the suspended stairs on the third floor wall to confirm that the roof was empty.
In the end, she had no choice but to go to the basement again.
As a result, this time Mr. Lan set a goal.
This door did have a hidden keyhole, and Sang Xiaoge took out the third key, and sure enough, he inserted it tightly.
Sang Xiaoge glanced back a little confusedly, and Xiao Dezi behind him shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he couldn't understand it either. Xinxin, who was holding the rag doll, was expressionless, obviously not expecting this child to give any insights. In the end, Sang Xiaoge still looked at Mr. Lan.
The first time she saw it, there was a distressed look on the cat's face.
He frowned, cocked his nose, and pulled his beard down with the corners of his mouth.
"Hey! If you can't think about it, think about it later, what are you going to do with this constipated expression? Sang Xiaoge exclaimed.

"I see!"
Mr. Lan suddenly let out a loud scream, startling Sang Xiaoge.
"You go over and close the door." Mr. Lan commanded on Sang Xiaoge's shoulder.
Sang Xiaoge pressed the door in, and with a "click", the sound of the deadbolt popping in, and the door was closed tightly into the door frame.
"Turn the key to the left until you can't turn it."
Sang Xiaoge turned the key as he spoke, and the deadbolt made a "click" sound again, and at the same time, the whole door vibrated a little. Almost subconsciously, Sang Xiaoge opened the door.
"Hoo ......"
A gust of wind blew out of the door, and several people clearly felt that the temperature had dropped by a few degrees!
A downward passage appeared inside the door.
The passages are flanked on both sides by dark gray walls with patches of mold.
Sang Xiaoge couldn't help but take two steps back.
It's weird.
"Is this any door?" Xiao Dezi had a stunned look on his face.
"I thought of it, but it's hard to believe it." Mr. Lan also made a surprised voice: "Xiaoge, your father has successfully attracted my curiosity, I want to go in and have a look!" β
Sang Xiaoge swallowed hard, and glanced at Mr. Lan a little stiffly: "You forgot?" Curiosity killed the cat. β
"I'd like to go in and have a look."
Xinxin approached the door somewhat uncontrollably.
Sang Xiaoge turned his head and ran to the meter box in the corner of the room, took out three flashlights from there, threw one to Xiao Dezi, then squatted down and handed one to Xinxin, looked at the passage of the black hole and said:
"Let's go in and have a look."
3
The moment I stepped through the door, I felt weightless and dizzy, but it was over in a flash.
About five or six meters down the passage, it is a turn, it turns back and goes up, and another five or six meters, it is another door.
The door was hidden, and when I pushed it, there was a "squeak" of the door shaft, and the door opened, and in front of it was a large room.
This room is very similar in height and size to the basement room you came in, except that there are not as many bookshelves, tables and chairs. In the opposite corner there was a bed and a single sofa.
Mr. Lan had already jumped off Sang Xiaoge's shoulder, and at this time he walked to the middle of the room, slashed the ground with his paws, and then stopped moving.
Sang Xiaoge walked over and shone a flashlight on the ground that Mr. Lan had planed, and found that there were very clear nicks there.
"What is this?"
Xiao Dezi also leaned over and shone it with a flashlight, then lay on the ground, and swept away the dust on the ground with his hands in the direction of the nick.
Sweep a paragraph, another paragraph, another paragraph, and ......
Finally, after roughly following the nick, everyone found that there was a huge charm with a diameter of more than five meters carved on the ground!
The spell is pentagonal in shape, with a circle where each side intersects, and extremely intricate patterns are drawn on it. The five dots intersect to form a five-pointed star, and in each of the five inner corners there is a deeper semicircular depression.
"Oh my God, there is such a complicated formation!" Xiao Dezi has recently learned a lot about this, and said: "This is not a spell, but a formation composed of multiple spells. It's just that I didn't expect the formation to be so big! β
Mr. Lan finally woke up from his daze, and it circled around the formation, muttering in his mouth: "This is actually a combination of multiple formations, and the person who carved the formation should be a geniusβno!" It's supposed to be a monster! β
"What is the function of this formation?"
Sang Xiaoge asked curiously.
"I don't know." Xiao Dezi was a little frustrated: "It's too complicated, I haven't seen it." β

"Formations are not something that can be used by drawing a shape, they need materials and an eye to activate. The wonderful thing about this formation is that you can have different functions by placing different materials to activate different array eyes. For example, the most basic, the middle part is summoning, and the materials required are very simple. And if the entire formation is activated, it may even teleport in reverse! β
Mr. Lan was still circling around the formation, his tone full of surprise.
Sang Xiaoge hugged Mr. Lan with a cat's waist, interrupting his rampage, and looked at the exit on the other side: "Anyway, we don't have any materials in our hands now, so let's go back and study this formation." Let's go outside and see what's there. β
The reason why she was in a hurry to go out was because Xinxin had already walked out by herself.
5
It was a turnaround staircase, a heavy, heavy door that looked like the metal and cement of an old-fashioned bomb shelter. The outside looks old, but the door shaft is very well maintained, and it is heavy, and it is opened with a little effort.
Walking out, it was raining outside.
Yes, when I walked outside, it turned out to be a gray space, there was a building in the distance, and it was raining in the sky.
The rain was light and dense, so it looked more like a thick fog as far as the eye could see. The light of the flashlight can only shine a few meters before it blurs.
Xinxin put the rag doll on the ground.
The rag doll just stood there, trembling slightly in the rain and mist, not softening, just standing still.
In the distance, there were bursts of crying.
"The yin energy here is very heavy." Xiao Dezi moved closer to Sang Xiaoge with some uneasiness, and the flashlight shone in the direction where the cry came from.
Sang Xiaoge looked at the cat in his arms: "What is this place?" The ghost world? Mirror world? β
"The Ghost Realm and the Mirror Realm are both spaces similar to those between the Yin and Yang Realms. It's just a different name. This is also the kind of existence, but it is very stable, and the yin qi is extremely strong, I guess there should be a crack leading to the underworld, so there will be a steady stream of yin qi replenishing in. β
Mr. Lan's nose twitched twice in the air and said, "And it's big, it's very big, anyway, I can't feel the boundary of this place right now." β
Distant cries continued, erratic in position, seemingly trying to attract the attention of the few people who had suddenly appeared.
"Sister, you say, what is the purpose of the eldest uncle to leave this ghostly place for you?" Xiao Dezi asked.
"There are so many books in the basement, and many of them are descriptions of the underworld. If it's a cultural class, this is ...... Exercitation? Sang Xiaoge said while thinking.
The cry was approaching, and it was getting more and more rapid. The owner who made the cry was visibly impatient. She didn't expect that she would be ignored by these young guys.
"You see, my sister is here, it seems...... Very good. β
Xinxin's voice was full of surprise.
I saw that the rag doll, which was originally soft, gradually became fuller, standing in the rain and fog, as if it had a sense of life.
"Nonsense, it's a yin spirit, the yin qi here is strong, it's a perfect supplement for it, and it doesn't need to eat, it will get stronger and stronger when it stands here." Mr. Lan glanced at the rag doll and said.
In the dense fog and mist, the existence that made a cry finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a white shadow emitted by a cloak appeared in everyone's line of sight, and it was vaguely discernible that this was a floating womanβor rather, a female ghost.

Geists, also known as "ghosts".
After they die, because their souls are incomplete or they miss the opportunity, they will no longer be able to enter the underworld, let alone be reincarnated. Neither the two worlds of yin nor yang belong, so they drift in nothingness, gradually dissipating with the years, or devouring weaker spirits, losing their memories and emotions, only endless emptiness and devouring desires.
Xiao Dezi is very timid, but after all, he has experienced the night walk of a hundred ghosts, has been in contact with powerful ghosts, has fought against resentful spirits that have devoured powerful evil spirits, and has received training from Chang Youdao, so even he feels that ghosts are not a threat.
After all, as a healthy creature of the yang world, as long as you are not frightened into losing your soul, the ghost will not be able to do anything about you. Even if you accidentally bump into each other, your yang energy is stronger, and the ghost will be directly knocked out and dissipated.
Sang Xiaoge was all thinking about 'why did her father leave this space for herself', although she didn't show it, but she had a good idea of how terrifying the twins she "adopted" was.
As for Xinxin, she is now full of joy. My sister is in this space, and it is obvious that she is "repairing". She had always felt indebted when she took away this body, and her sister could only continue to be trapped in the rag doll.
Now, although I don't know why, I see my sister's soul rapidly becoming fuller, and that state seems to be better than having a physical body.
So, the geist who approached was just ignored by these young guys who didn't talk like that.
There is clearly a price to pay for such neglect of a hungry ghost.
So, as the white woman drew closer to them, suddenly, under the loose hair, a pair of red eyes lit up, and at the same time, the crying stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a terrible roar, and the white shadow opened its hands, ten nails became longer, and its mouth full of fangs opened, like a fierce wind, and rushed towards Xinxin's young body!
