Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Chapter 198 There are no ghosts in the world, only tricks

Ye Bai stood at the fork in the road, narrowing his eyes slightly as he surveyed the two passages to his left and right. His expression remained stern, as if the tense atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him, but a hint of caution lingered in his eyes.

Zhang Dada paced anxiously, glancing at Ye Bai from time to time, then glancing at the two passages: "Master Ye, please tell me something. Which way should we go?"

Ye Bai did not respond, but squatted down and looked at the ground carefully again.

Yang Mi also squatted down and said softly, "Ye Bai, did you discover something?"

Ye Bai stretched out his finger and lightly drew a line on the ground.

"The dust on the left road seems thinner, as if there is an air flow passing through, but this may also be a trap. The right road..." He stood up and looked at the right passage.

"It's too quiet, abnormally quiet."

Meng Ziyi came over: "What should we do? We can't just stand here forever. I think we can decide by voting."

Zhang Dada immediately raised his hand: "I think since there is airflow on the left, it might lead to the exit."

Yang Mi shook her head: "I think the right side is safer. There might be some trap on the left side."

Ye Bai looked at them, still silent. He slowly walked to the left passage, took out a small stone from his arms, and threw it in. The sound of the stone falling to the ground echoed in the passage, and after a moment, there was no other movement.

"How about I go in and take a look first?" Zhang Dada volunteered.

Ye Bai glanced at him and said, "Be careful."

Zhang Dada nodded, crouched down and walked into the left passage. After a few steps, he turned around and called out, "Master Ye, there's nothing wrong at the moment."

Just as everyone was about to catch up, Zhang Dada suddenly let out a scream. Ye Bai and the others quickly rushed in and saw Zhang Dada lying on the ground. There was a small trap at his feet, which was full of sharp thorns. His trouser legs were scratched, but fortunately he was not injured.

"What the hell is this thing!" Zhang Dada stood up with lingering fear.

Ye Bai frowned: "Get out first."

Back at the fork in the road, Zhang Dada muttered, "Looks like the left isn't going to work. We can only go right then."

Ye Bai still didn't make a decision immediately. He walked to the right passage and listened, as if trying to catch some subtle sound. After a while, he turned and said to the crowd, "I'll go ahead, you guys follow closely."

Everyone cautiously walked into the right passage. A faint stench filled the air, and the occasional dripping sound of water on the wall was particularly clear in the silence.

Yang Mi couldn't help but move closer to Ye Bai and whispered, "Ye Bai, I'm a little scared."

Ye Bai nodded slightly without saying anything, but slowed down his pace.

As they walked, they came across a stone door. It was covered in strange patterns and symbols. Zhang Dada curiously reached out to touch it, but Ye Bai immediately rebuked him, "Don't move!"

Zhang Dada quickly retracted his hand: "Ye Shen, I'm just curious. What do you think the pattern on this door means?"

Ye Bai walked forward and carefully examined the patterns on the stone door: "These patterns may be hints of some kind of mechanism, or they may be a warning."

Meng Ziyi said on the side: "Then how do we open this door?"

Ye Bai walked around the stone door and found a small hole on one side. He took the copper coin from his bag and tried to put it into the hole. To his surprise, the coin fit perfectly.

Suddenly, the stone door creaked open with a dull thud. A stale smell filled the air. Everyone covered their mouths and noses, waiting for the dust to clear before they could see what was inside.

There were many boxes in the room, all inlaid with various gemstones. Zhang Dada ran over excitedly and wanted to open the box: "Wow, there must be treasures in here!"

Ye Bai shouted, "Don't open it yet!"

But Zhang Dada had already opened a box, and instantly, several hidden arrows shot out from the box. Ye Bai quickly pulled Zhang Dada over, and the hidden arrows flew past their bodies and hit the opposite wall.

"Could you please not be so reckless!" Yang Mi said angrily.

Zhang Dada turned pale with fear: "I...I didn't expect this to happen."

Ye Bai calmly surveyed the room and noticed that some of the slate on the floor was a different color than the others. He picked up a stone and threw it at one of the slates. The slate instantly sank, and several more arrows shot out from the surrounding walls.

"These stone slabs are mechanisms, we must be careful when passing through them." Ye Bai said.

He began to advance cautiously on the unproblematic stone slabs, and the others followed behind him, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing they would trigger the trap.

After finally passing the stone slab area, I came to the other side of the room. There was a stone platform with a box on it.

Meng Ziyi asked curiously: "Ye Bai, what's in this box?"

Before Ye Bai could answer, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out in the room. Everyone tensed up and looked around.

"Who? Who is laughing?" Zhang Dada shouted in horror.

Laughter echoed, but no one was in sight. Ye Bai clenched the dagger in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"Could it be the ghost here?" Yang Mi said in a trembling voice.

Ye Bai said coldly, "There are no ghosts in this world. There must be some mechanism or person playing tricks that we haven't discovered."

At this moment, the box suddenly opened automatically, and a golden light shot out from inside. The people were blinded by the golden light. When the golden light gradually disappeared, they saw a crystal clear bead in the box.

Zhang Dada said in surprise: "This bead looks really powerful."

Ye Bai walked forward and wanted to pick up the bead, but stopped just before he touched it. He felt a chill coming from the bead.

"There might be something wrong with this bead." Ye Bai said.

But Zhang Dada couldn't help but say, "Ye Shen, such a powerful bead might be a treasure. We can definitely sell it for a lot of money if we take it back."

Ye Bai ignored him and continued to observe the bead. Suddenly, some strange smoke appeared around the bead and spread rapidly.

"Oh no, this smoke might be poisonous!" Ye Bai shouted.

Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses and stepped back. But the smoke grew thicker, gradually enveloping the entire room...

Smoke filled the entire room, completely obstructing everyone's vision, and tension and fear spread in the air.

Zhang Dada cried, "Ye Shen, are we going to die here? I don't want to die yet!"

Ye Bai didn't respond. Instead, he quickly pulled a handkerchief from his backpack and untied a small bottle from his waist. He poured the liquid into the handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with it. His movements were calm and swift, without a trace of panic.
