infinite danger

In front of the main hall, there is a large field of Bianhua flowers. The enchanting and colorful flowers sway in the breeze, like fire and blood.

Red and black petals hang down from the side of the road, making this winding path look like a road leading to the underworld.

Walking to the front of the hall, the two paper figures stopped and stood on either side of the door, one on the left and one on the right, bowing their heads respectfully.

The carved door automatically opened to both sides, and the bright warm light in the hall poured out, extending to the steps, as if laying a guiding blanket for Ji Siwei.

A bitter evil spirit overflowed from the hall, and Ji Siwei's exposed arm was instantly flushed by the evil spirit.

Looking up, I saw a black plaque hanging on the door, with three gilt characters "Fanghua Building" written on it.

The only thing that is inconsistent is that there is a set of carved huanghuali tables and chairs in the center of the hall, which look like they have been placed temporarily.

Ji Siwei made a rough count and found seven chairs in total.

There was no one in the hall, but Ji Siwei vaguely heard conversations.

"Master, do you want to go in?" The little puppet moved in front of Ji Siwei, stretched out its upper body and looked into his eyes.

Ji Siwei nodded: "Go in."

The little puppet walked around behind Ji Siwei, holding one handle with his little hand.

A cloud of bloody red mist rose from the bottom, firmly supporting Ji Siwei's wheelchair up the steps.

"What a bother." Ji Siwei moved his wheelchair to the door and said in a gentle voice.

With a slight drag of the red blood mist, the wheelchair crossed the threshold and entered the hall.

The faint sandalwood fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose. Compared with the incense held by the ghost boy on the fourth floor, the quality of the sandalwood here is lower.

"One, two, three, four, five, five newcomers?"

"It's been a long time since newcomers have joined, why are there so many at once tonight?"

A young male voice said slowly.

A gray outline appeared on the first position on the left, gradually becoming clearer.

This person was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat covered with black tulle. He held an old-fashioned bong lightly in his bluish-white thin hand.

The tulle was quite transparent, and the inside was filled with smoke, so Ji Siwei couldn't see him clearly.

Opposite the smoker, a long-haired man wearing a black suit and holding his hands appeared out of nowhere.

"Heh... brother smoker, you came late, it's a pity that you didn't see the wonderful scene. I just watched how they came up layer by layer." A silver hairpin with a simple style appeared: "The one with the mask is the protagonist... He made a lot of noise tonight. The guards on the second and fifth floors were killed. After the seminar tonight, we will It’s time to find a new tower guard.”

The man tied up his long hair with a silver hairpin, and looked sideways at Ji Siwei. The lower half of his face was hidden in a cloud of black mist, and there was a horizontal green eye on his forehead, and the three eyes narrowed at the same time: "If it wasn't for When I passed by the sixth floor, I meddled in my business, and Lao Liu has lost his mind right now."

Looking at the jade beads hanging from the top of the hairpin, Ji Siwei's heart skipped a beat.

When he was on the sixth floor, he originally wanted to know about the nightmare ghost who could create illusions. At the critical moment, it was this silver hairpin that quickly grew a wall of hair and stopped Ji Siwei.

At that time, this long-haired man was on the sixth floor!

Ji Siwei didn't notice it.

What kind of monsters are gathering here?

An uncle in pajamas appeared next to the long-haired man. His hair was messy and messy, covering half of his face. His chin was unshaven, and he looked like he hadn't washed his face for a long time.

Holding a large bottle of white wine in his hand, there is a lizard-like green tail growing on the tailbone of the alcoholic uncle, shaking it from time to time.

"Even if the newcomers don't kill the clown on the second floor and the glutton on the fifth floor, the boss will deal with them sooner or later." The alcoholic uncle took a big sip of his wine and said in a long tail: "The clown's murderous intentions are too heavy. Kuang is too edible."

"That makes sense." Opposite Uncle Ghost, a boy with short white curly hair appeared, with two huge horns growing on his forehead, and a square piece of white paper was pasted on the upper half of his face, with the word "ghost" written in big characters.

"Hey, newcomer." The long-haired man leaned on the table, and with a wave of his finger, the chair next to the horned boy was instantly moved to the wall. The long-haired man raised his lips and said, "This seat is yours now."

"Thank you." Ji Siwei nodded, and moved the wheelchair to the empty seat.

The puppet bear and the female ghost in white stood behind Ji Siwei, one on the left and the other on the right, making him look like a big brother with a younger brother.

The main seat is still vacant, and the person who will host this "seminar" has not yet appeared.

Apart from the main seat, the seat opposite Ji Siwei was also empty, maybe it was another honored guest that the paper-tied woman mentioned.

It was probably windy outside, and the wind chimes hanging outside the hall collided with each other, making crisp sounds.

In the sound of wind chimes, there is also the sound of clear footsteps.

"Sorry for being late."

A young man with dyed pink hair and a fox mask walked in and sat familiarly on the empty seat opposite Ji Siwei.

After seeing Ji Siwei, the eyes under the mask of the pink-haired youth lit up: "Hey, a newcomer is still alive, it's rare."

After meeting the pink-haired youth, Ji Siwei finally understood why the ghosts present didn't care about his identity as a living person.

Because the pink-haired youth is also a living person, and like Ji Siwei, he has a shadow.

"Fox, you were almost late." The alcoholic uncle knocked on the bottle: "Let's have a drink after the meeting!"

"I'm too busy today." The young man called Fox laughed and said, "Uncle, I'll definitely drink with you after finishing business."

The candlelight in the room suddenly flickered violently, and several palm-sized black butterflies flew in from the door, hovering over the main seat.

The door closed automatically, and a half-length doll appeared above the main seat. He was wearing a simple white shirt, with light brown hair, and a layer of light-colored fluorescent light floating on his too pale skin. His eyes were covered with black cloth, revealing The facial features are very realistic.

After the half-length doll appeared, the atmosphere on the table changed instantly.

It seems that the half-length doll is the organizer of the "seminar" and plays an important role in this group.

"It's all here, very good." The half-body puppet's mouth seemed to move, and it made a voice without ups and downs and emotions: "Let's welcome the newcomers first."

After the words were finished, several goblets that were incompatible with this antique environment suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Most of the glasses were filled with dark red liquid, which reflected a strange light under the candlelight.

Ji Siwei smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Guessing what was in the cup, Ji Siwei felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, subconsciously lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.

At this time, everyone present raised their goblets and even stood up from their seats.

Seeing that Ji Siwei did not move for a long time, the alcoholic uncle yelled: "Newcomer, why don't you take the cup?"

Ji Siwei refused directly: "Sorry, I don't have this hobby."

Ji Siwei's straightforward attitude did not freeze the atmosphere.

The long-haired man sniffed the red liquid in his hand with a look of intoxication, and his voice was full of excitement: "It's okay, you will fall in love with it in the future. You can ask your companion if you want to have a taste."

The puppet bear and the female ghost in white shook their heads again and again, with expressions of rejection.

The long-haired man shrugged somewhat disappointedly, and sat down again.

"Next, I need to explain the rules to the newcomers." After everyone sat down, the half-length doll put down the goblet and turned to look at Ji Siwei: "Today of every month is the day when we hold seminars. Every month we have different themes to discuss together.”

"After becoming a member of us, you are obliged to complete some tasks for the organization. In return, other members can work together to do something for you. Do you understand?"

Ji Siwei nodded: "Understood."

Knowing it is one thing, implementing it is another.

Ji Siwei never said that he would become one of them.

"Next, let's get into the topic." The half-length puppet didn't explain too much, knocked on the table with its broken hand, and said in a serious voice: "You know, I can predict the future. Recently, I foresaw something that is not good for us .”

Hearing the words "predict the future", Ji Siwei slightly opened his eyes wide.

Strong ghosts and monsters will have special abilities, but being able to predict the future is too heaven-defying.

The smoker took a puff of cigarette, then slowly exhaled: "If you take it so seriously, it must be a big deal."

Smoke swirled in the air, and the air in the room seemed to be thinning.

The long-haired man became more upright in his sitting posture and clasped his hands: "Please speak."

"Recently Nether is very dissatisfied with us, thinking that we have disturbed the order of Yin and Yang in Tianwan District. They want to restore order, and they will make big moves recently, which we have been aware of." The black around the half-length doll The number of butterflies became more numerous at some point, and there was a burst of yin in the air: "And what I foresee is that Nether will gather the souls of the skeletons of the sages on the seventh floor, and they will take over the Tianwan area."

"Wait, Soul Gathering?" The alcoholic uncle hiccupped and swung his thick tail on the table: "How to get together, those old guys have been dead for so many years, and those who have no grievances should be reincarnated. All the remaining ones It’s a good ghost with a weak soul and body, so what’s there to be afraid of?”

The long-haired man spread his hands and said with a smile, "What do You Ming think?"

The expression of the half-body puppet did not relax at all. He uttered a few words coldly: "Soul-gathering bell, don't forget, the soul-gathering bell can reunite the scattered souls. The IQ of the sage ghosts on the seventh floor is far superior to ordinary people, and Most of them have special abilities, if they can reunite their souls, it will be very bad for us."

Hearing the words "Soul Gathering Bell" suddenly, Ji Siwei raised his eyes and looked into the eyes of the half-length doll for the first time.

After waiting for so long, Fanghua Building and the clues behind the map finally have an intersection!

Sure enough, he didn't look in the wrong direction.

The smoker spit out two more clouds of smoke, and said in a faint voice, "It's really not good."

The horned boy sneered, "It's better to strike first."

The fox shook the red liquid in the cup, and interjected: "Just destroy all the skeleton specimens below."

The frequency of flapping the wings of the black butterfly beside him became faster and faster, and the half-length doll nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

The alcoholic uncle's wine bottle was almost bottomed out. He hugged his big belly and smiled: "It's enough for such a small thing to go alone."

The smoker floated into the air, and was about to take the initiative to ask for orders, when Ji Siwei suddenly said, "I'm a newcomer, give me a chance to work for the organization."

After saying these words, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.

All eyes saw Ji Siwei at the same time.

Ji Siwei took it lightly and let them scrutinize him.

However, the crimson pupils behind the cat face mask are so deep that it is impossible to look directly at them.
