Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller

"Tower of Babel?" everyone exclaimed.

Qin Yangming nodded and said, "There are only these four sentences on this card, nothing else."

As he said this, he handed the card to Nan Guan who was closest to him.

Everyone passed it around and read it. These four sentences seemed to have a profound meaning, and everyone's eyes flashed with solemnity.

"Retreat, why are you still staying here?" Mo Ying urged. He picked up the "shield" and threw it into the cave they had just crawled out of.

As the "shield" stumbled and fell in the tunnel, until it finally hit the ground with a snapping sound, Mo Ying said, "There's nothing in the hole, just slide!"

He led the way and was the first to slide down the cave.

Then there are Su Mengyuan and Xu Xiaobao.

Nan Guan said to Qin Yangming, "Sir, you go first, I'll follow you."

Qin Yangming was about to jump down when he caught a glimpse of a corner of the room out of the corner of his eye.

There were dense spider webs in the place, and the dim light was blocked by the spider webs, so it was impossible to see clearly what was inside.

Qin Yangming saw that there was something there, covered by layers of dirty spider webs and impossible for ordinary people to see.

"Sir?" Nan Guan asked.

Qin Yangming pointed there and said, "There's something there."

He walked over and used the fortune-telling banner in his hand to push aside the spider web, revealing an old wooden box with an old-fashioned copper lock hanging on it.

Qin Yangming wiped the dust off the copper lock with his hand, trying to see if he could open it. Unexpectedly, with just a slight force, the copper lock, which seemed to have been in disrepair for a long time, opened by itself.

When the wooden box was opened, there was a dead branch inside, but the strange thing was that there was a tender green bud growing on the dead branch.

The two of them didn't understand what was going on, so Qin Yangming could only collect the dead branches.

Just then, they heard fierce shouting coming from below the cave entrance.

It sounded like Mo Ying was shouting angrily, mixed with the screams of two girls.

"Hurry!" The two looked at each other and quickly slid down from the cave.

As soon as the two men came out of the cave, they saw the headless body of the zombie being lifted high by Mo Ying and thrown out heavily.

"Damn it, we saw this damn thing as soon as we came out!" Mo Ying cursed and wiped his clothes hard with his hands.

"This ghost thing has such a strong vitality that it can still walk even in this state! I don't know what has changed!" Xu Xiaobao sighed, shaking his head.

"Hmph!" Mo Ying was frightened just now. He walked up to the zombie angrily and kicked him again.

"If its head wasn't gone and it hadn't moved so stupidly, I would have been scratched just now!" Mo Ying said angrily.

"You'd better practice aiming and firing more. How can you be a policeman if you can't even use a gun?" Nan Guan said bluntly, and walked forward to deal with this zombie together with Mo Ying.

"Tsk! I broke this damn thing's joints, let's see how it can still move!"

There was a crackling sound of bones breaking, and Xu Xiaobao turned his head away, not daring to look anymore.

"what?"

"what happened?"

"It seems there is something on it..." Mo Ying reached out his hand and felt in the pocket of the zombie. When his hand touched it just now, it felt hard, as if...

"A card!" Mo Ying said excitedly. He felt a card in the pocket of the zombie.

Everyone gathered around, and Mo Ying rubbed the blood stain on the card onto his pants and read:

"You are a [prostitute]!"

"You must try your best to behave like a prostitute. Whether you are willing or not, this is a necessary guarantee for you to survive normally!"

"You have some good abilities. Try to discover them. These abilities are all related to your identity as a prostitute!"

……

"Now, please look in front of that bronze mirror and dress yourself up!"

The more Mo Ying thought about it, the more wrong everyone's expressions seemed, and the more fear appeared on Xu Xiaobao's face.

"Why is your card on the living dead?"

After Mo Ying finished reading the entire content on the card, he looked at Xu Xiaobao in confusion.

"Did you lose it and then it picked it up?" Nan Guan guessed.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaobao just shook his head, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled, as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water.

She tremblingly took out a card from her trouser pocket. The size and style of the card were exactly the same as the one Mo Ying was holding now, except that it was a little cleaner.

Xu Xiaobao suppressed her fear and looked at the card in her hand carefully again. Suddenly, she fell to the ground weakly.

Everyone was surprised and seemed to have guessed something.

Mo Ying rushed over and snatched the card from Xu Xiaobao's hand. He put both cards in front of him and compared them.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said to the three people who were looking at him:

"Same!"

"Exactly the same!"

"Even the punctuation is the same! The style, the font, everything is the same!"

He was so shocked that his speech was somewhat incoherent.

"I always carry my [prostitute] card with me...I don't know what the one on it is..." Xu Xiaobao said with his head down.

Qin Yangming's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Is there a possibility that he is also a [prostitute]?"

Is he a prostitute too?

Mo Ying pointed at the crotch of the zombie who had collapsed on the ground and said, "But, he is a man..."

Yes, he has male reproductive organs and should have been a man before he turned into this horrible appearance. How could he be a prostitute?

No one can answer this question now, and if there is any answer, it is just based on imagination and cannot be verified.

"If you want to know everything here, you may have to go to the other end of that dark corridor." Qin Yangming said.

One side of the long corridor led to the prisoner's cell, and the other side was pitch black. No one had ever been there, and it was the only area they had not explored yet.

"Okay, then are we still going to the prostitute's and fortune teller's rooms?" Nan Guan asked.

Qin Yangming shook his head, took out the fortune teller card he carried with him and handed it to him, saying:

"The cards for [Prostitute] and [Fortune Teller] are here, everyone take a look."

"Ms. Xu, is there anything special in your room besides Jingjian?" Qin Yangming asked Xu Xiaobao who was keeping her head down and silent.

Xu Xiaobao was still immersed in her wild thoughts. She heard someone calling her and raised her head in confusion.

After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head. There was nothing special in the prostitute's room.

Qin Yangming nodded. There was no need to go to the fortune teller's room again.

"Then let's go."

Mo Ying pulled up Xu Xiaobao, who was sitting sideways on the ground, and the five of them walked towards the entrance of the [Actor]'s cave with heavy steps.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing, and everyone's mind was filled with the two identical "Prostitute" cards.

Everyone crawled into the cave, using their hands and feet to slowly crawl in the dark tunnel.

Perhaps in order to ease this depressing atmosphere, Nan Guan asked in a relaxed tone:

"Sir, I saw that your card mentioned [incense] and asked you not to doubt it. Isn't it just ordinary [incense]?"

Qin Yangming, who was crawling in front, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Those are three connected human fingers, which is what the card says is [incense]."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat; that scene must have been terrifying.

"Is that so..." Nan Guan said embarrassedly.

Everyone seemed to feel even more depressed.

After finally climbing out of the cave, the five people stood in the middle of a deep and dark corridor.

Over there was the [prisoner’s] cell, a faint light could be seen, and on the other side was an unknown area lurking in darkness, a fog.

"Why do you think that zombie has a prostitute card on him?" Xu Xiaobao suddenly asked.

No one spoke, no one wanted to answer.

Xu Xiaobao suddenly laughed with two lines of tears on his face.

She cried and said, "Is there a possibility that the living dead also woke up in a dark room like us..."

"Then he saw the card in front of him."

"The card said he was actually a [prostitute]."

"But he's a man. How can a man play a prostitute?"

"Of course, men can sometimes play the role of a prostitute, but he could never accept it and always rejected it in his heart..."

"Then... he became the half-human, half-ghost he is now..."

Her voice became lower and lower.

"No, it's not necessarily like that." Mo Ying said.

"It's possible that he has other reasons..."

Xu Xiaobao interrupted Mo Ying and said in a tearful voice, "But it's all written on the card!"

"It's not just my card, it's also mentioned on your cards to some extent!"

"Only if you [act] well can you [live normally]!"

"But, but I really am not a prostitute!"

She shouted in despair.

"There must be another way..."

"There is no other way!"

Mo Ying was about to say something when Xu Xiaobao suddenly shouted and pulled up the sleeve of his arm, revealing a large area of ​​abnormal red skin with some swollen yellow and white pustules on it. Thick pus was swaying in the pustules, which looked very creepy.

It looks like a kind of skin ringworm.

"I'm starting to become abnormal..."

At first she thought it was just some germ she had contracted, but when she saw the other card that said "prostitute," a terrifying suspicion came to her mind and wouldn't go away.

“Although I don’t know whether there are the answers we want over there, but if we continue to stay here, we can’t do anything.”

Qin Yangming smoothed the wrinkles on his gown, held the hexagram flag steadily in his hand and said.

He began to walk towards the dark end of the corridor.

"Come on, this is the only choice we have."

Everyone saw his back slowly disappearing into the darkness.

Nan Guan gritted his teeth and followed closely.

Then there is Su Mengyuan.

"Let's go too, there must be a way!"

Mo Ying stretched out his hand to Xu Xiaobao and said.

Xu Xiaobao stopped sobbing and looked at the road ahead. The narrowness and darkness formed a mysterious melody, as if an unknown and terrifying creature was whispering in her ear.

Xu Xiaobao slowly stretched out his hand and walked up behind Mo Ying.

"Om~~~"

Qin Yangming suddenly shook the Sanqing Bell in his hand, and the bell emitted a mysterious vibration, as if it could cleanse all the sins in the world.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Nan Guan asked.

He rang the bell to attract everyone's attention, after all, he couldn't see anything when he got here.

"We've reached the end." Qin Yangming said. He stretched out his hand and felt something blocking the way ahead.

Behind him, the others who were slowly crawling over with the help of the wall asked, "What should we do?"

Qin Yangming tried to push the object in front of him with his hand and said:

“It should be a door.”

door?

"But I can't push it by myself. We have to do it together."

"it is good!"

The five of them stood up, bent their backs and pushed forward with all their strength.

The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and a ray of light came in.

"There's a play! Everyone, work hard!"

Nan Guan said excitedly, shouting slogans, gritting his teeth, and pushing his body forward.

Finally, they pushed open the two heavy stone doors until there was a gap wide enough for a person to squeeze through sideways.

"Come."

The five people squeezed through the gap one by one and came behind the door.

The torches inserted diagonally into the wall were burning with crackling sounds. In front was a high staircase with a door on it.

Qin Yangming looked up, and the fiery red light shone on his face.

Without saying a word of complaint, he was the first to step onto the stairs and walked towards the door at the top.

The rest followed.

Five people climbed up the stairs one step at a time. Looking up from the first step, the five figures were arranged in an orderly manner, with those near being larger and those far away being smaller.

Some of them kept their heads down in silence, some looked up and expected, some were worried, and some looked around.

The leader Qin Yangming had already stood in front of the door.

"gentlemen……"

The second one was Nan Guan. He stood on the steps below the door and looked at Qin Yangming.

"Nan Guan, I remembered those words."

"Which ones?"

"The nine-story Tower of Babel is different on each floor."

“Only those who climb the stairs can liberate all living beings.”
