But the biggest problem right now is how to get out of this endless staircase and successfully reach the second floor of the three-story ancient building.
Although Zuo Shisan has no cultivation at all, he has experienced a lot, is well-informed, and has a strong ability to deal with situations on the spot.
Soon Zuo Shisan figured out how to crack this ladder.
So he quickly said to everyone:
"This staircase will definitely not be endless. There are probably two reasons why we have not been able to reach the end now. First, we have been caught in some kind of illusion and are trapped in the stairs in the illusion. Second, we may have already reached the end at this time.
I left the three-story ancient building and came to another place."
After hearing what Zuo Shisan said, Chu Wan'er quickly asked:
"Then what should we do now?"
"Let's calm down first. No matter what sound we hear at this time, we must not look back. We must ensure our own safety first, and then we must first determine whether we are under an illusion or not," Zuo Shisan said.
"How to determine?" Chen Hai asked.
"It's very simple. Bite your middle finger and smear the blood on your forehead. Ordinary illusions will be broken by the blood from Zhiyang's fingertips." Zuo Shisan said that he bit the middle finger of his right hand first.
He smeared the blood on his forehead, then turned his head and pressed his fingers on An Rushuang's forehead.
An Rushuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
When everyone saw this, they all bit their middle fingers and smeared blood on their foreheads.
There was no change in the surroundings, which made Zuo Shisan a little confused: Could it be that what trapped them was not an illusion at all?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his vision went dark and the surrounding environment had changed. After his vision recovered, Zuo Thirteen could clearly see that the entrance to the second floor was not far in front of him.
Sure enough, they fell into a ghost's illusion on the stairs to the second floor and were almost trapped here.
"The illusion has been broken, I can see it!" Huo Wan'er pointed at the entrance in front and shouted.
Everyone gradually woke up from the illusion. Everyone followed Zuo Shisan and arrived at the second floor of the three-story ancient building.
Zuo Thirteen was the first to board the second floor. He was greeted by a long corridor. There were six independent rooms on both sides of the corridor. This was the first time Zuo Thirteen had encountered such a decoration style. It looked a bit like
It is the decoration style of the hotel.
The wooden door of the first room was damaged, and it was so dark inside that nothing could be seen.
When everyone came up, they were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them, especially Song Bing. She had never seen a civilian residence decorated like this.
"What do you think the owner of this house did before? Why did he decorate his house like this?" Envoy Wan'er asked, shining a bright flashlight on the surrounding environment.
"Don't be distracted. The focus of our visit to the three-story ancient building this time is to find the dirty things hidden inside. Don't let down your guard." Zuo Shisan said and took out a talisman from his pocket again.
Paper.
After Yu Wan'er heard Zuo Shisan's words, she nodded:
"I understand, Team Leader Zuo."
Zuo Shisan used a flashlight to illuminate the room and walked step by step towards the first room. When he came to the door of the room, Zuo Shisan was not in a hurry to go in. He first looked around with a strong flashlight and found that there was nothing abnormal inside.
, and then walked in.
"Wait for me outside." Zuo Shisan walked into the first room. As soon as he entered, he smelled a pungent musty smell. There were only two broken cabinets on the ground and a
Piles of clutter.
Zuo Shisan carefully checked the room and after confirming that the evil ghost was not hiding in the room, he backed out.
When they came to the second room, the wooden door was closed. Zuo Shisan stepped forward and pushed it with his hand, and found that the wooden door had been locked.
Dong Luo saw this and came over and said:
"I'm an expert in unlocking, Song Bing, please help me with lighting."
Dong Luo took out a piece of iron wire from his bag and passed it through the keyhole. After he fiddled with it for a while, the door lock made a "click" sound.
Zuo Thirteen turned the door handle again and pushed it gently. With a soft creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened. Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, everyone was stunned after seeing clearly what was inside the room.
"Then...what is that?" Song Bing asked.
"Pickle jar?" Entropy Wan'er said doubtfully.
There was nothing in this second room, only a large black vat placed in the middle of the room.
No one thought that there would be a big black vat in the room on the second floor.
Who put this vat in this room? What is its purpose?
Zuo Shisan looked at the big black vat warily and said to everyone:
"Everyone, be careful. Things inside may be dangerous. This large vat may be a vessel used to raise poisonous insects or corpses."
After hearing Zuo Shisan's words, Chen Hai asked:
"Team Leader Zuo, are there still people raising Gu now?"
"Of course, especially in the Miao border, the trend of poisonous insects is still prevalent." Chen Hai said.
"Now, which one of you is going to see what's in that big vat?" Zuo Shisan turned around and looked at everyone and asked. He had wanted to touch the bottom of these three people before.
Song Bing retreated tactically after hearing this. Dong Luo on the side pretended to be deaf and mute and remained silent. Only Chen Hai said:
"Team Leader Zuo, let me go in and take a look."
"Okay, pay attention to safety. If you find any problem, come out immediately." Zuo Shisan said and handed Chen Hai a piece of talisman for self-defense.
Chen Hai nodded and walked into the room holding the talisman handed to him by Zuo Shisan.
When he came to the big vat, Chen Hai found that the big vat was covered with a wooden lid, and there were two white seals attached to the wooden lid.
After seeing this, Chen Hai quickly said to Zuo Shisan and others waiting outside:
"This jar is sealed. Do you want to open it?"
Zuo Shisan also walked in after hearing this. When he saw the seal on the cylinder cover clearly, his brows furrowed.
Because I recognized that what was painted on the seal was the corpse-killing charm, and there was a possibility that there was a zombie hidden in this vat.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Zuo Shisan made a retreat gesture to Chen Hai. Chen Hai understood it. The two of them turned around and had just taken two steps away when they suddenly heard a squeaking sound coming from the big tank!
"Team Leader Zuo, what was the sound just now??" Chen Hai couldn't help but look back.
"Don't look back, hurry up and leave!" As soon as Zuo Shisan finished speaking, the wooden door in front of them suddenly closed with a bang!
Chen Hai saw this and ran over quickly. He tried hard to open the wooden door, but at this time, the wooden door did not move at all.
"Don't waste your efforts. The thing in the tank will keep us here. If we don't kill it, we won't be able to get out today." Zuo Shisan said, turning around to face the big tank, with his right hand
Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled out the Zhulong Jiufeng from his waist.
After all, Chen Hai still had little experience, and his body began to tremble:
"Team Leader Zuo, then...are there really zombies in that tank?"
"Not necessarily. Don't be afraid now. No matter what comes out of the tank later, we can solve it by working together!" Zuo Shisan said.
"Okay, I will listen to you now." Chen Hai said, wiping the sweat on his face with his hand, while his eyes full of fear were staring at the big vat.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "Bang!" inside the big tank, and the whole tank started to shake!
