Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller
Chapter 5 Lamp and Mirror
The zombie came at him with great force and fell headfirst at Mo Ying's feet. Its body kept twitching, as if it was not dead yet.
"you……"
Mo Ying was so shocked that he was speechless, and stared at Nan Guan beside him with wide eyes.
The gunpowder smoke from the silver revolver blurred Nan Guan's face. Mo Ying only heard a hoarse voice saying:
"Just because I have shackles on my hands doesn't mean I'm really a prisoner."
As everyone was astonished, the zombie on the ground seemed to come back to life, using his arms to support himself and try to stand up.
When Mo Ying saw this, a ferocious look emerged on his face. He stomped hard on the dirty and bloody head of the zombie, and a deep hole was visibly left on the disgusting head.
"Damn it, I'll let you bully me!"
Mo Ying cursed while stomping on it repeatedly. The force was so great that the splattered flesh and black blood flew onto Su Mengyuan who was standing behind him.
Su Mengyuan hurriedly shook her long skirt. Despite this, her white skirt was already stained with dark red spots and had a disgusting stench.
"Okay, stop stepping on it!" Su Mengyuan said unhappily.
"Didn't you say you shot this monster a few times in the room? How come you can't even fire a gun now!"
Su Mengyuan scolded.
Mo Ying was so embarrassed that his whole face turned red like a steamed pig's head after his lie was exposed.
At that time, he encountered the zombies in the room. He had never used a gun before, so he could only flee in a panic. Fortunately, he was surprisingly strong. He pushed the zombies away and quickly slid out of the cave, thus escaping.
At this moment, the heads of the zombies on the ground had been trampled into a pool of mud, with bloody flesh and mud scattered on a pool of black blood, and white brain matter, like a pot of hodgepodge.
The tiny pieces of flesh dotted the black blood, and Xu Xiaobao finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched his neck and vomited.
But she didn't vomit anything, just gastric juice and bile.
Although the limbs of the living dead are still twitching, their hands and feet are just swinging around randomly. Without the brain, the control center, the actions of the living dead are no longer scary.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the disgusting monster in front of them, and they didn't notice that a kerosene lamp rolled from Qin Yangming's hole into the conference room.
The bronze mirror also seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, slowly floating out from the hole of Xu Xiaobao.
Qin Yangming suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart, as if a greater danger was about to occur.
The more he puts himself into the role of the fortune teller, the stronger his sixth sense becomes.
He suddenly shouted to everyone, "Be careful of that shadow!"
Everyone followed Qin Yangming's gaze and saw a slim figure of a young woman on the ground walking towards the five people. Her posture was lifelike, just like the shadow of a real woman.
But there was nothing above the shadow.
"What is this, oh my god!" Su Mengyuan screamed when she saw this strange scene, and staggered to leave the corner.
If I continue to stay in this corner, I will be forced into a dead end by the strange shadow on the ground.
"Fortune teller! This is in your room. Do you have any good ideas?" Mo Ying shouted anxiously.
At this time, the shadow of the young woman on the ground began to deform, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a monster with a bloody mouth and several long tentacles dancing constantly.
Qin Yangming thought quickly. The current situation was different from when he was alone in the room.
In the room where the portraits of the Three Pure Ones were placed, there was only one source of light: a kerosene lamp. Shadows would only appear when the kerosene lamp was lit.
And now, even if the kerosene lamp is not lit, the incandescent lamp in the center of the ceiling of this conference room will cast everyone's shadows very clearly.
Moreover, the kerosene lamp was parked right below the hole, far away from the people who were huddled in the corner. The two lamps were exactly at two points on the diagonal of the conference room.
Qin Yangming looked quickly and saw the orange candlelight filling the glass cover of the kerosene lamp.
When the kerosene lamp was lit, it was of no use whether he rang the Sanqing bell or chanted scriptures.
But it was impossible for them to cross such a long distance to extinguish the kerosene lamp manually. The shadow with a bloody mouth on the floor would undoubtedly quickly devour the soul of anyone who acted rashly.
It seems like I have been forced into a dead end...
Suddenly, Qin Yangming shouted, "Lift up that living dead man!"
Everyone was confused. Seeing the monster's shadow on the ground getting closer and closer, Qin Yangming quickly said:
"Lift the corpse of the living dead up and face it towards the ceiling light, and try to make the shadow cast by the monster's corpse as large as possible!"
Nan Guan was the first to understand Qin Yangming's meaning. He grabbed one of the zombie's thighs with his shackled hands and tried to lift it up.
He lifted the zombie up into the air, and Nan Guan tried his best to make the zombie's body face the ceiling light of the conference room at a 45-degree angle.
But despite his extraordinary strength, his handcuffed hands could only hold one of the zombie's thighs, and the zombie's upper body would inevitably droop.
"I come!"
Mo Ying yelled and held the two arms of the zombie with his hands, so that the zombie's whole body maintained balance.
"Everyone squat down and curl up, making sure your shadow is covered by the monster's corpse's shadow!"
Qin Yangming was the first to bend over and get into the shadow. Su Mengyuan and Xu Xiaobao understood what he meant at this time, and they followed his example and squatted behind Qin Yangming.
In this way, the shadows of the five people were barely hidden under the shadow cast by the lifted zombie.
The shadow of the monster with bared fangs and claws on the ground could only swim around the five people on the floor continuously, like a shark in the deep sea.
But it just couldn't move forward.
This proves that Qin Yangming's method is effective.
The ferocious shadow on the floor transformed into the figure of a slender woman, who spoke in a tender voice to the five people who were twisting their bodies:
"Hey, why are you so scared of me?"
"However, if you choose one person for me to eat, I will leave immediately!"
"My appetite is very small. Eating a person's soul is enough to keep me alive for a long time!"
The five people's heartbeats quickened noticeably after hearing this.
As long as one person is sacrificed, the safety of others can be obtained...
As long as the person who sacrifices himself is not himself, he can live in peace...
Su Mengyuan's mind was on the verge of collapse. She tightly grasped Qin Yangming's long gown in front of her and screamed with her eyes closed:
"Just do what it says!"
No one paid any attention to him. Although the others were also afraid, they still retained a trace of rationality.
"You big guy! Aren't you a policeman? Get out!"
She was talking about tattoos.
Mo Ying couldn't free his hands at this moment, otherwise he would definitely slap this idiot hard. If he didn't slap her ten meters away, he would take her surname!
"Calm down, damn!"
Mo Ying roared.
Nan Guan also spoke, his deep voice also filled with anger:
"Let's not talk about whether what the shadow said can be trusted!"
"If you let Mo Ying go, who will carry the body? Then we will all be lambs to be slaughtered!"
Su Mengyuan couldn't listen at all at this moment. Tears were streaming down her face and her delicate makeup was ruined beyond recognition. She looked like a ghost.
"As long as I eat one person, the rest will be safe!"
The shadow of the monster on the ground continued to speak, like the whisper of a demon from the abyss, constantly attacking everyone's psychological defenses.
Even though everyone knows in their hearts that they should not believe it, in this situation, some people have lost the ability to think, while others are moving towards this tragic result.
At this time, the bronze mirror that had been floating there for who knows when slowly floated towards everyone vertically from the ground.
Under the astonished gazes of the five people, the bronze mirror finally hovered right in front of them, just reflecting the embarrassed figures of the five people.
"This... this is the mirror..."
Xu Xiaobao's mouth kept opening and closing, and he could hardly speak.
“What now?”
Mo Ying roared with all his might. The appearance of the mirror seemed to have broken the delicate balance between them and the monster's shadow.
Suddenly, the five people reflected on the blurry surface of the bronze mirror began to move on their own.
Among the five people on the bronze mirror, Nan Guan and Mo Ying simply threw away the corpse of the zombie. Everyone stood up and let the light shine on themselves, casting five long shadows on the ground.
"It's like this again..."
Xu Xiaobao said in horror.
If this continues, they will all lose control of their bodies and become puppets of the bronze mirror!
The five people on the shiny surface of the bronze mirror began to laugh strangely. The five people in reality inevitably saw this strange smile. They only felt as if something was passing away quickly in their minds.
"Hahaha, you are all my meals!"
The shadow monster on the floor no longer hid, transforming into its true form with a bloody mouth, a long tongue licking its jagged fangs, ready to have a feast.
The hands of Nan Guan and Mo Ying, who were holding up the corpse of the zombie, were no longer stable, but were shaking slowly, as if they would lose strength in the next second.
"Wake up!"
Qin Yangming suddenly shouted loudly, shaking the Sanqing Bell while chanting:
"The Supreme Lord has commanded that your lonely soul be liberated... creditors, enemies, and those who are seeking your life... I command you to rescue all of us and help us to be reborn as soon as possible!"
His voice was clear, and scriptures that seemed to contain extraordinary power were constantly echoing in the conference room.
The eyes of the other four people brightened, and the things that had passed through their minds slowly returned.
Mo Ying, who was already sweating coldly, turned his head back. His hair was completely wet with sweat and drooping. Qin Yangming saw the sweat beads hanging down to the ends of his hair and were about to drip onto the ground.
"Fortune teller, you can do it!"
Mo Ying grinned at Qin Yangming and said that if he had hands he would have given him a thumbs up.
Qin Yangming was still reciting scriptures.
When he read the last word, he said loudly to everyone: "Now everyone, slowly move under that round table!"
Everyone looked over there in confusion. The ceiling light in the conference room was burning tirelessly above the center of the round table.
Nan Guan suddenly said, "Can you just turn off the light?"
He meant to use the silver revolver to directly destroy the lamp, so that they would naturally have no shadow.
"No, in complete darkness, the threat posed by kerosene lamps will be reduced, but we will be more restricted!"
Qin Yangming directly rejected this idea. He had thought of this plan before, but immediately realized that it would not work at all.
Kerosene lamps can burn on their own, and if they roll to some unexpected place and catch fire, they will be caught off guard.
And there is also a strange bronze mirror...
Moreover, having lost their vision, they would be blind and unable to move.
This approach is equivalent to injuring 700 enemies and hurting 2,000 of your own people!
"Everyone still has to move under the round table!"
"This way our shadows will be hidden under the shadow of the round table!"
Everyone then understood what Qin Yangming meant, and they all looked at the round table that was more than half a meter high.
