Seeing that they could not see the end of the stairs if they continued forward, Zhang Qing and Wan Tong suddenly had the idea of returning back.
But just when they were about to leave, Liu Baimu, who had only one head left, spoke up and stopped the two of them.
"I see."
Suddenly, Liu Baimu, who was thinking back with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said with some excitement;
"It is impossible to reach the end of this step by the normal method, even if there are ghosts, because the end of the step is not in front."
Zhang Qing and Wan Tong understood every word Liu Baimu said, but when they were put together, they didn't understand what they meant.
What does it mean that the end is not in front of you?
And Liu Baimu seemed to know the doubts of the two people, and then continued to explain:
“I remembered that someone had mentioned this place before, but the description was not detailed, so I didn’t associate it with this place immediately.
According to the information collected, if you want to pass this weird staircase, you can only close your eyes and walk backwards."
There is a lot of information about this old house, some are true, some are false, and some are even confusing.
Therefore, even if Liu Baimu has mastered the information, he still needs some introductions to compare it with reality.
Ever since he walked up this strange staircase, he had been recalling the relevant information.
It wasn't until just now that he thought of a piece of paradoxical information.
It was a piece left by someone before. Liu Baimu didn't know who left it.
He only knew that someone had used this method to complete a strange flight of stairs.
At this time, Liu Baimu felt that the strange staircase mentioned was most likely the staircase they encountered now.
After Zhang Qing and Wan Tong heard what he said, hesitation flashed in their eyes.
They didn't know whether Liu Baimu's words could be trusted.
Liu Baimu saw that the two of them were still hesitating, and then continued: "Don't think so much, time is urgent now, you should do what I said first."
No one knows what kind of danger is hidden in this strange staircase.
If you stay here for a long time, you may encounter danger at any time.
Liu Baimu, Zhang Qing, and Wan Tong all know this very well.
"That's all, I can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor, so let's try your method."
Zhang Qing and Wan Tong were in the same situation, and then nodded silently.
I saw Zhang Qing and Wan Tong closing their eyes together.
Then the two of them did as Liu Baimu said, without turning around, but started to retreat directly and walked down the steps.
"I hope this method is really useful."
With uncertain thoughts, Zhang Qing began to walk backward step by step, while not forgetting to count the steps silently in his heart.
a step;
two steps;
...
ten steps;
Just when Zhang Qing counted to ten in his mind, he and Wan Tong paused, and their faces froze.
Wan Tong clearly found that his back touched a hard and cold wall.
This wall seemed to appear suddenly. I had walked at least hundreds of steps without noticing it, but after walking back ten steps, it appeared.
Obviously, this is another incomprehensible situation.
After Zhang Qing stepped back ten steps, he bumped directly into Wan Tong.
"What's going on? Wan Tong, why did you stop?" Zhang Qing did not open his eyes rashly.
Wan Tong first touched his back with his hand to make sure that it was really a wall and that there was no danger, then he spoke:
"There's a wall behind me and I can't go any further."
Then he slowly moved away from Wan Tong's body and touched back with his hand to confirm that it was indeed a wall.
This is weird enough.
You must know that they have been walking out on the steps for dozens of minutes since they entered the wooden door.
Although he didn't know exactly how far he would go, he was certain that it would definitely not be short.
Now, after just walking ten steps backward, a wall appeared.
It seems that what Liu Baimu said is indeed the correct way to "clear customs".
"It seems that we have indeed reached the destination. Now we can open our eyes."
As Zhang Qing spoke, he immediately opened his eyes and turned around.
Sure enough, they saw a rusty iron door standing behind the two of them.
Moreover, there is a dim yellow lamp hanging on the iron door frame;
This lamp seemed to be extinguished at any moment, and the light it emitted could only cover the iron door and could no longer spread outward.
Zhang Qing and Wan Tong couldn't pay attention to such a strange phenomenon at this time.
Because now they were all attracted by this strangely appearing door.
"It's strange. I've searched for this old house before, and I've always seen only wooden doors. This is the first time I've encountered an iron door."
A confused look flashed across Wan Tong's face.
Zhang Qing also nodded at this time.
Then Zhang Qing walked slowly to the iron gate with somewhat stiff steps.
His hand touched the iron door and soon found the door handle. He shook it slightly;
But the next second, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
Wan Tong noticed the change in his ruthless expression and asked quickly.
At the same time, it can be seen that Wan Tong has already made a defensive posture immediately.
The first time I encountered this iron gate, I wanted to know if there was anything weird above it.
As a veteran ghost controller, caution and caution are essential qualities.
"There's something wrong with this iron door." Zhang Qing glanced at Wan Tong, then shook his head, and then whispered:
"This door is not locked and can be opened, and the door seam does not fit tightly, which shows that it must have been opened before."
When Wan Tong heard this, he carefully placed his hand on the iron door, and then touched it along the door frame.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he could still clearly feel it with his hands. As Zhang Qing said, the door's cracks did not fit properly.
"Could it have been opened by those who explored in the past?" Zhang Qing looked at Liu Baimu's head in his hand.
And Liu Baimu also opened his eyes at this time;
His eyes first flashed with a look of thinking, and then he said:
"I don't know about this either. Although I have obtained a lot of information, you should know that the predecessors could not have left all the information."
Zhang Qing immediately nodded in agreement.
Most ghost controllers are selfish beings.
After all, there are only a few people like Xiang Tongqian and Li Jun.
There are certainly not good people in an organization like the Life Saving Society whose purpose is survival.
If there is something special hidden behind this iron door, it will never be easily told to others.
After all, almost all the members of the life-saving society in that pendulum clock have ambitions.
"So what do we do now?"
Wan Tong hesitated.
It was because I entered the wooden door before that I encountered a strange staircase.
If one enters this strange iron door now, no one is sure what strange situation they will encounter.
At this time, Zhang Qing also had a hesitant look on his face.
"Regarding this iron gate, among the information you have collected, is there any record of it being closed before?" Zhang Qing looked at the head in his hand again.
In such a strange place, Zhang Qing thought it was better to be careful.
If Liu Baimu had relevant information, the danger would naturally be much smaller.
Wan Tong also looked at Liu Baimu expectantly at this time.
But Liu Baimu's answer disappointed Zhang Qing and Wan Tong;
"Of all the information I got, the most it pointed to was a strange staircase. There was no record of this iron door."
After Liu Baimu finished speaking, he fell silent.
Neither Zhang Qing nor Wan Tong said anything in response to his answer.
They didn't know whether to believe Liu Baimu.
After all, only Liu Baimu knows all the information, and only the other party knows whether the other party has retained it.
Zhang Qing and Wan Tong glanced at each other in unison.
