Chapter 13: The Four Doors
The dark staircase was dispelled by the light of the candle at this moment, and the people who saw the full appearance of the staircase for the first time were a little incredulous, the dilapidated wooden walls were left with deep scratches, and the purple-black color of the blood coagulation was dried all over the stairs, and they finally understood what the black powder that came out of their hands when they came up in the dark before.
Mo Yuan, who was held on the shoulder by Fa Mingkang, silently echoed what happened just now, the female ghost with a spelled face who was originally pressed and beaten seemed to turn into a red cloth with this power after blowing up all her faces, and then her strength skyrocketed instantly, and instantly killed the male ghost who was still pressing her a moment ago, and devoured him cruelly.
"Fa Ming." Mo Yuan shouted faintly.
"Donor, the poor monk beats you because of the situation, you..." The monk touched his bald head and said with some embarrassment.
"It's not this, did you find out that there was something wrong with the female ghost's red dress just now?"
"The female ghost's red clothes?" Fa Ming also restrained the smile on his face, "Then what's the problem, I patronized Jia Yi just now, and I only observed the female ghost for a while when I saw her eating the male ghost there." โ
"The color of her red blood, sometimes dark and sometimes light, doesn't seem to be very stable." Yang Fan, who had been following the team without speaking, said calmly.
Mo Yuan glanced at Yang Fan, feeling that he seemed to be calm and a little abnormal, but he didn't care too much, watching his good brothers die one after another in front of him, it would be strange if he could be normal.
"Yes, and I've noticed that the color on her body always darkens a little bit as she devours it, but it fades after a while."
"But... Brother, what does this mean? Isn't it because the color of the clothes is sometimes dark and sometimes light? โ
Mo Yuan rubbed Mo Linxue's head, "If I'm not mistaken, the bloody clothes of that female ghost are inseparable from her sudden surge in strength, just think about the novels and TV series she watched before, what method should she have used to forcibly improve her strength temporarily." โ
"But, brother, even if it is forcibly improved, it is also strength, according to the current strength order, it should be red clothes and white clothes, white clothes and us, we are just the bottom of the food chain."
Mo Yuan shook his head and looked around at everyone: "If my guess is correct, that red cloth needs to maintain her own strength and need to keep devouring other powerful ghosts, or... Torture and kill humans! โ
"Cut, let's say we're not the one who was hunted."
"Nope! It's not the same! Yang Fan suddenly shouted, "If this is the case, there must have been some consumption in the process of her chasing and killing the female ghost in white, and just a female ghost in white can't make up for the energy she consumed, and if the power of the female ghost in red will gradually lose over time, as long as we can survive until she completely fades away, at that time, whether she has the kind of sequelae mentioned in TV series and novels, our hope of saving our lives will be much greater, and even if we have the opportunity, we may kill the female ghost!" โ
The more Yang Fan said, the brighter his eyes became, and the whole person's spirit was a little excited, seeing Yang Fan's appearance, everyone was a little congested, and all the brothers who followed him died in a short period of time, this kind of blow may have collapsed or fallen into madness for others, Yang Fan can still calmly analyze the situation Although there are some personal feelings mixed with it, it is already rare.
"It's the exit ahead, everyone be careful." With the appearance of the light at the end of the stairs, Mo Yuan reminded everyone in time.
Cautiously poking his head out, Mo Yuan was suddenly a little dumbfounded, the scene outside the stairs was a little unexpected to him, to be honest, even if the red clothes were waiting there at the staircase waiting for him to throw himself into the net, he would not be so surprised, the staircase was not the third floor he originally thought, nor was it any floor he had reached, but a completely new scene.
As everyone entered, the staircase behind them disappeared, a cube-shaped room, surrounded by lights illuminating it unusually bright, which was seriously inconsistent with the overall atmosphere of the whole house.
"Ah, brother, the stairs are gone, how are we going back?" Mo Linxue exclaimed.
However, it seems that everyone has seen too many anomalies tonight, and they are already a little numb, and they did not make a fuss with Mo Linxue, silently looking at the surrounding environment, and a dark door appeared where the stairs disappeared.
With the appearance of this door, the surroundings seemed to change slightly, and when everyone looked again, three doors appeared on the other three walls of the room, different colors, from left to right, gold, white, and green, counting the original black door, the number of doors that appeared here just coincided with the number of people who remained.
"This layout seems to require each of us to choose a room to enter." Mo Yuan was a little helpless, now the situation in front of him was obvious, there was no way for them to retreat, only four rooms were clearly placed, but no one knew what was behind the door and it was too dangerous to enter rashly.
Everyone, look at me, I see that none of you stepped forward to move those doors, Fa Ming sighed, pinched the Buddha bead in his hand and stood up: "Amitabha, donors, poor monks take the first step." โ
"Fa Ming, you..." Mo Yuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while, did he let him stop and everyone continue to stalemate here?
Fa Ming looked at Mo Yuan and shook his head slightly, and then stroked the robe on his body and came to the golden gate, Fa Ming felt that this golden door had a faint traction for him when the four doors appeared, and now this feeling is even stronger when he comes to the door, smelling the sandalwood fragrance coming from the door, Fa Ming can't help but think of the time when he practiced with his master before, and he can't help but feel a little emotional.
Stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the door in front of him, a dazzling golden light suddenly brightened, bursts of Zen sound came from inside the door, Mo Yuan and the others tried their best to open their eyes to see what was behind the door, and then in addition to the pain of their eyes being flashed, all they could see was the golden light, but Fa Ming seemed to be a little emotional.
"Amitabha." Whispering a Buddha name, Fa Ming stepped into the door without hesitation, and with Fa Ming's entry, the golden door slowly closed automatically, and when the door was completely closed, everyone was relieved from the blindness caused by the golden light.
The golden door dimmed after closing, and Mo Yuan stepped forward to try it, but found that he couldn't push it open anymore no matter what.
"It seems that each door can only accommodate one person, and everyone can't solve the problem by doing so much, so let's pick a door and go in." Mo Yuan said and looked at Yang Fan's eyes, and said seriously: "Take care, if we can all get out alive, I will be your brother." โ
A trace of fluctuation flashed in Yang Fan's calm eyes, but he didn't give Mo Yuan any response, just silently walked to the green door and pushed it open, what also appeared was the green light that made it impossible for anyone except Yang Fan to see the scene inside the door, and a fresh smell of nature flowed out of the door, making everyone feel relaxed for a while.
"Okay." The moment Yang Fan stepped into the door, he said something inaudible.
As the gate closed, Mo Yuan looked at his sister blankly: "Did that guy say anything just now?" โ
"Huh? Have it? Mo Linxue blinked her big eyes and looked at her brother with a puzzled expression.
Mo Yuan was speechless for a while, but he silently affirmed his answer in his heart, whether Yang Fan agreed or not, he just treated him as if he agreed.
"Brother, what should we do? There are only two doors left, which one are we going to? Mo Linxue pouted and shook Mo Yuan's arm vigorously.
Mo Yuan's body was shaken for a while, he stretched out his hand to stop his sister's unscrupulous behavior, and looked at the remaining two doors for a while, in fact, he had some sense of these two doors, the white door faintly revealed a trace of holiness, and behind the dark door there was a feeling of depression, heaviness, and tyranny.
"Do you feel anything about these two doors?" Mo Yuan was going to ask his sister, if she could only sense one of the doors, then it would be much easier.
"Yes, yes, the white one makes me feel very kind, but it seems that something is calling me behind the black door, so it's hard to decide." Mo Linxue's face was entangled.
"Huh?" Is it the same for your own sister? It's just that it seems to be a little different from what I feel, and I can't say what the difference is, but depending on the situation, it seems that the safety factor behind the white door is higher.
"Linxue, you go to that white door, I don't feel anything about that door, but the black one seems to be calling me." Mo Yuan told a little lie, he didn't want his sister to worry.
"Well, okay, then I'll go." Seeing Mo Linxue bouncing towards the white door, Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and was a little worried at the same time, this stupid girl is so simple that she can believe whatever she says, is she really okay if she is not by her side this time?
"Ouch." Mo Linxue was bounced back the moment her hand touched the door, Mo Yuan was attracted by his sister's screams, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw his sister smashing into his face like a human cannonball...
"Hey, it doesn't hurt to fall so far, the floor material here is really good." Mo Yuan shook his little head and sighed with some surprise.
"Death... Dead girl... Get me up..." Mo Yuan's entire face was crushed and deformed, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.
"Ahh Brother, why are you here. Mo Linxue hurriedly got up and stood aside.
Mo Yuan rubbed his aching head and struggled to get up: "What's the matter?" Why is this happening? โ
"I... I don't know, just now I suddenly felt a huge repulsion in my arms, and I was bounced away. Mo Linxue said in a hurry.
"Huh? What do you have in your arms? Mo Yuan was a little curious when he heard this, and was about to reach out to find it, but when he saw Mo Linxue, he jumped and dodged.
"Brother, I... I'll do it myself. As she spoke, she took out a book from her arms, Mo Yuan looked at the diary she had picked up on the road, although it was a little strange that her sister was blushing or something, but she didn't care too much.
"Where's Linlin?" Seeing this diary, Mo Yuan suddenly found that Linlin, the child, didn't know when he was gone.
"Big brother, Linlin is here." As the weak voice came out, a faint white mist drifted out of the book and gradually condensed into Linlin's appearance.
ยทยทยท
"You were in this book?" Mo Yuan's eyes widened, a little incomprehensible.
"That's right, brother, what's so strange about this, doesn't it be said on TV that there will be a sustenance or something after becoming a ghost, this diary is Linlin's sustenance. And Linlin couldn't find us when you lit the candle, and as soon as I took out Linlin's diary, she automatically got in. Looking at his sister's natural look, the corners of Mo Yuan's mouth twitched a little, this girl knows more than him in these strange places, but how could he not study well before he had this energy, and his grades were so serious that he was always called by the teacher and said.
"Then, that door may be repelling Linlin, you give me the book to try again." Mo Yuan found the crux of the problem, and said to Mo Linxue and stretched out his hand to end Linlin's diary.
Mo Linxue looked at her brother's outstretched hand and hesitated: "Brother, you have to take good care of the diary here, don't bully Linlin." Reluctantly put the diary in his brother's hand, and Mo Linxue explained seriously.
Mo Yuan's face was black, what is this girl thinking about all day long, Linlin is a ghost and your brother is a human, okay? Who the hell don't bully whom? However, when he saw Lin Lin Moyuan, who was shrunk timidly and trembling on the side, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, how could he make himself a bad guy one by one.
Mo Linxue looked back at the diary in Mo Yuan's hand step by step, and slowly reached out to tentatively touch the white door, but this time it was finally not rejected, the door was pushed open in Mo Lingxue's hand, and a dazzling white light came out, and the music melody faintly sounded in the door seemed to have a holy atmosphere, Mo Linxue seemed to see something of interest behind the door, her eyes stared straight ahead, and she forgot about Linlin and her brother who couldn't rest assured a second ago. Jumping into the door.
As the door closed, Mo Yuan looked at the empty room around him, and Linlin's eyes were wide and he didn't know what to say, looking at Linlin's big watery eyes and looking at himself pitifully, Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache.
In the end, Mo Yuan gave up his plan to communicate with Linlin, stuffed the notebook in his hand into his arms, stood up and greeted: "Let's go." โ
