I sat down on the futon again, thinking that this was the end of the confession session.

Standing up, I walked out of the black door and came to the white door beside me.

If you find the troubled water, you can break the four ghosts.

Next, it's time to look for the troubled water, according to the meaning of the poem, as long as the troubled water is found, the four corpses blocking the way will naturally be cracked, which means that the level is successful.

But where is the trouble? What does it look like?

Standing in the quiet little corridor, I stared at the white door, and I turned over the entire ancient mansion, leaving it unexplored.

Those bloody handprints on the door seemed to warn me that the contents of the door were terrifying.

The smell of cheap rouge wafted out along the crack in the door, and I was a little disgusted when I smelled it, and I squeezed my fist hard, and I slammed open the white door, and looked inside, and was dumbfounded.

There was only one large wardrobe inside, standing in the middle of the ground like a coffin, and there was nothing else in the room except the wardrobe.

I suppressed my fear and carefully walked to the closet, it turned out that the cry of the woman I had heard earlier was coming from the closet.

"Who's ......" I asked in a shudder through the thick wardrobe door.

The crying suddenly stopped, and the woman inside replied, "It's me." ”

The more I listened, the more wrong it became, and I always felt that this voice was a little familiar, so I stepped back and yelled: "Don't guess the riddle with me, it's a human or a ghost, get out of it yourself!" ”

"I can't get out, I'm stuck in the closet."

I told her that I was scared, and opened the closet door suspiciously, and there was nothing but a few torn clothes.

The woman shouted at me, "...... down there There's a drawer down there, I'm locked in it, you have to find the key first. ”

I looked down and saw that there was a drawer, which was more than a meter wide, and a large iron lock hung from it.

When I washed my face in the earthen basin before, I found a key in the basin.

Without saying a word, I immediately took out the key in my pocket, stabbed it into the keyhole and twisted it, and the lock opened.

The picture in the drawer gave me goosebumps all over my body.

It was a young girl, her body was folded in half at ninety degrees, and she was forced into a drawer, and her arms and legs seemed to be broken, and she was crooked.

"Brother, it's me, don't you remember me?" The girl twisted her neck and shouted at me for help, and I looked at her face again, I grass! Isn't that my ugly sister who came out of the woods?

The ugly sister ran away from home, met a bad person, and tricked her into going to work in the club, but she didn't make a penny, so she let the four young people press in the woods and beat her.

"Why are you here?" The moment I saw her, the back of my neck was bald, and my first reaction was, could it be that something happened to her later? Didn't survive?

It's not right to think about it carefully, there are unique rules in the netherworld, here, all the cause and effect before life will be reproduced in a weird way, the ugly sister appeared in my level, it doesn't mean that she in reality, what happened to her, on the contrary, she herself is probably still alive, and she doesn't know about it at all.

Maybe these scenes will appear in her dreams in the future.

"You pull me out first." My ugly sister rushed at me in pain for help.

I tugged her arm and pulled her out of the drawer, and with the clatter of bones shattering, the ugly sister's body quickly returned to its original state, twisting her waist and humming.

One thing to say, this girl is quite ugly, her facial features are a little abstract, not easy to describe, she moved her body, she said to me: "Brother, I'm here to repay the favor." ”

It dawned on me: "So you are the scourge!" ”

The ugly sister was stunned and said, "What's the trouble?" In order to save me, you snatched money from those four brutes, not to mention, and were slapped a few times, if you change to someone else, how can you care about this idle matter? I was scared away, but you're different, you stay and save me. ”

"Meeting a good person like you is a blessing from my previous life, if it weren't for you that night, I would have killed those four beasts, brother, I will remember your good for the rest of my life, come, you come with me."

The ugly sister pulled me, walked out of the ancient house, and came to the crooked-necked tree, at this time, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, and asked her suspiciously:

"You came to the Netherworld to save me, this is ...... Did you know in reality? ”

The ugly sister shook her head and said something very Zen to me: "I have never been here at all, how can I know?" ”

I was even more confused, and looked her up and down: "Then where did you come from in the netherworld?" ”

She smiled slightly, pointed to the four corpses on the tree, and explained: "Cause and effect, these four beasts are the cause, I am the effect, although their death is directly related to you, but you sacrificed your life to save me, cause and effect cancel each other, and the karma is paid off." ”

"Believe it or not." The ugly sister reached out and pointed lightly at the trunk of the tree, and the ground began to tremble violently, and under my terrifying gaze, the whole tree, along with the four hanging corpses, fell into the ground together, and disappeared without a trace.

When the ground calmed down, the gate of the courtyard opened, and the outside world was covered with thick fog.

The strange rules of the nether world once again refreshed my cognition, it turns out that in the underworld, cause and effect, good and evil have their own calculations, which is the so-called one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

If in order to save Su Yao that day, I had a clear conscience and casually stuffed the money with the yin text to unrelated passers-by, then this first level could send me to the underworld.

I wiped the cold sweat on my neck, and my ugly sister looked at me meaningfully: "Brother, let me tell you an allusion, do you know the Jizo King Bodhisattva?" She was in charge of the underworld and hell, and there was a man who had done a lot of bad things in his life, and when he went to the underworld, that man stood in front of the hall of Hades, and was frightened by the miserable scene inside, and cried out in fright, and angrily accused the Jizo Bodhisattva, saying, "If you have compassion in your heart, why do you want to make the underworld so terrible?" Why don't you use your magic to eliminate the ghosts of the underworld? ”

Jizo Bodhisattva sighed and lent his Dharma eye to the man: "You lend me my eyes to see what the hell is really like." ”

The man looked around, and saw that the terrible ghosts, the king of Hades, the bull head and the horse, and so on, were all gone, and the whole underworld was empty, and there was nothing but himself.

"What's going on? Why is the hell I see different from what you see? The man was very puzzled and questioned the Jizo Bodhisattva.

Jizo Bodhisattva looked at him with a sad look: "Everything you see is the karma that you did in your life, whether it is Hades, bulls and horses, in fact, they don't exist at all, this underworld was built by your own hands, don't you understand?" ”

After hearing this, the man immediately comprehended the Zen meaning, and wept bitterly with regret, and Jizo Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "I urge the world to do good, but the world refuses to listen." ”

After listening to the allusions, I was in a cold sweat and was silent for a long time, and the Zen principles in them could not be fully comprehended by my current mind.

"No, allusions may not be true, you tell me, what is the real underworld?" I asked her out loud.

The ugly sister smiled weirdly at me: "What do you say? ”

After saying that, she turned to leave, and before her body dissipated, she turned back to me and said to me word by word:

"Li Zhiwen, I advise you to let go of your demons and leave, otherwise, the second level is your end and the beginning of your journey to the underworld."

The words fell, and the ugly sister's body dissipated into the wind.

I stood alone, savoring what she meant, glancing at the fog outside the yard, and striding out.

Could it be that I'm going to stop at the second level, as she said?

The fog ahead was so thick, mixed with the pungent smell of paper ash, it seemed that something was burning in the distance, I was wrapped in layers of thick fog, blind to the touch, and quickly lost my way.

The fear of the unknown, and the sadness in my heart, forced me to cry loudly, and the feeling of loneliness and helplessness was indescribable.

I cried and walked like this, and after a long time, I finally broke out of the thick fog.

The scene in front of me suddenly opened up, and the streets looked very familiar, isn't this the small county town where I live?

At this time, I was in front of my barbershop, next to Zhu Feiyue's noodle shop, and there were several paper cars parked on the street, one of which was burned, and the billowing smoke poured into the white mist in the distance.

I'm already in the second level!

Realizing this, I immediately became alert, and looked around warily, and in the whole street, only my barbershop was still open, and through the glass doors, the gloomy light was shining.

I stood in front of the store for a long time, but I never dared to enter, and a sixth sense told me that there was a deadly danger lurking in the store.

Although there is a Yin text to return to the world, if the danger comes too suddenly and I don't have time to read the Yin text, I will die too!

If the soul dies in the netherworld, it means that the next stop is the underworld, the ugly sister said, the second level is the beginning of my journey to the underworld, there must be a reason for her.

It's better to be safe and safety first.

Instead of rushing into the barbershop, I searched the streets carefully, hoping to find clues to get through.

Finally, I found a few small red arrows in some inconspicuous corner.

Are these arrows guiding me, and the clues are ahead?

I immediately lifted my spirits and followed the arrows, and on the way, I saw a number of small arrows one after another, and who knows, maybe they took me to the entrance to the underworld.

The more I walked, the more ominous I felt in my heart, my right eye jumped wildly, and after walking forward for more than ten minutes, a strange scene appeared in front of me.

In the middle of the street, there was a cavity of dirt, the area of which was not very large, but it was three or four meters deep, and I stood on the edge and looked down, only to see that the bottom of the pit was densely packed with sharp metal spikes.

Each spike is about half a meter long, and as long as a living creature falls into it, it will be disemboweled on the spot, and it will definitely die.

The pit looks more like a trap for hunters.

Beneath the spikes, scattered white human bones.

Before the Red Arrow led me to the trap, did you want to tell me? The clue is there?

I circled around the trap a few times, but I didn't see any clues, and when I looked at it, I noticed that there seemed to be a small piece of paper tied to a spike below.

Leaning down to take a closer look, it was a barber's chair instruction manual, and I sighed in disappointment and stood up.

On the street corner, not far from the trap, there was a lone garbage can with a bloody shroud hanging outside.

I looked around nervously as I cautiously approached the trash can, and at that moment, my breath froze.

He pulled out the shroud and unfolded it, only to see a few lines written in blood on it:

"The clue to customs clearance, in that manual, ask yourself, how much are you willing to pay to save your beloved?"

"Jump, you will be doomed, if you don't jump, your own sister will leave you and disappear forever at the end of the world, how to choose, it's up to you to decide."

This passage on the shroud made my scalp tingle when I watched it, which reminded me of a very bloody foreign movie - "Chainsaw"

In the movie, there is a pervert who imprisons people in closed huts and sets up all kinds of vicious and cruel traps in them, and people have to fight hard to survive in order to survive.

Failure to break through the level, flesh and blood flying, even if they succeed, there are even more terrible mechanisms waiting for them next.

My current situation is strikingly similar to the movie, which makes me wonder if the guy who created the underworld is a psychopath?

On the other side of the screen, an audience from another dimension is enjoying my bloody performance, eating popcorn and laughing, enjoying the absurd, eerie reality show.

A lot of unrealistic thoughts came to my mind, and I had to go back to the trap again, look down with my head down, and feel a dilemma.

To jump, or not to jump?
