Four boys stood in a row, reciting commands in a babbling voice, looking more serious than when they were memorizing words for the college entrance examination.
Zhou Tong waited patiently for a moment and said, "It's not enough to just wait for it to catch us. We have to find a way to lure it out."
Chang Xu asked, "How do you lead it?"
Zhou Tong: "The reason this monster stayed here is because the Li family members haven't died yet."
The fourth brother asked, "You mean it's waiting for Miss Li? But Miss Li has already entered the painting. Do we have to take the painting down?"
But the painting is a holographic projection. If you want to move the painting, you have to move the projector. It is impossible for Fengdu to design it this way.
Zhou Tong recalled the information she had received. "The diary mentioned, 'Hide the wedding dress and don't let it find me.' This means that to the monster, whoever is wearing the wedding dress is Miss Li!"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was sound. Besides, she was the only girl present, so she just took the wedding dress and put it on.
Chang Xu held her down and said, "I'll do it!"
Zhou Tong's mouth twitched, "You want to wear a wedding dress?"
Chang Xu: "What's wrong with a wedding dress? A macho man should wear a wedding dress!" After saying that, he put on the dress stubbornly. He was so tall and strong that he looked like a pillar covered with red cloth.
A smile flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes, and then she cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Miss Li is here—come out and see, is this the Miss Li you're waiting for?"
Grandma Dengying, who played the monster, was waiting patiently for them to recite the command. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she subconsciously stuck her head out and was startled by the tall and strong bride.
I thought to myself that only a crippled monster could fail to recognize this!
Money is hard to earn, and food is hard to eat. He opened his toothless mouth and roared, "The last person in the Li family..."
As the monster made a sound, a large shadow suddenly appeared on the wall of the stone chamber, and pounced towards the few people from all directions with its fangs and claws bared.
Several people were excited and scared, and they screamed and dodged one by one.
I have to say, the atmosphere is really well created.
One of the shadows pounced on a boy. He was startled and immediately realized: "The enemy is coming to fight the bull—ah! I recited it wrong!"
Then with a swish, he was pulled into the wall.
Zhou Tong: “…”
She sighed, resigned herself to her fate, and walked towards the wall, shouting to a shadow: "Those who are about to fight, march in formation!"
The shadow retreated a long way, but was still moving.
She raised an eyebrow, "Are you looking for the real body?"
Over there, Chang Xu suddenly shouted: "Fuck! Hooligan! Don't take my clothes off!"
The remaining few people looked back at the same time, only to see that the shadow had wrapped around the wedding dress at some point.
The clothes were already loose and would fall off if pulled.
Zhou Tong's mind moved, "Can't let it take it away!"
As he spoke, he used a command to force the shadows away, pulled back the wedding dress, spread it out, and shook it back and forth against the wall.
The entire shadow was like a cat that saw a cat toy, shaking back and forth in the direction of the wedding dress.
Zhou Tong observed carefully and suddenly smiled, "I found you!"
She pointed to the darkest, unmoving spot, and said, "Those approaching the battle shall march in formation!"
There was a scream that was not like a human voice, and the whole stone chamber shook violently, and large pieces of prop stones fell down.
Chang Xu hurriedly protected her head, "What's going on! Is it going to collapse?"
Zhou Tong: "It shouldn't be like this, I passed..."
The red candle in the corner floated up and swayed in front of the wall. The stone door collapsed with a loud bang, revealing an exit.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief and crawled out.
Outside, Gu Wang shook his head speechlessly and left slowly, still thinking in his heart, this shouldn’t be the case, is the Nine-Character Mantra so difficult to memorize?
He recited it forwards and backwards, and finally confirmed, "It must not be a problem with the Nine-Character Mantra!"
When Zhou Tong and the others came out, they found that the fog outside was still there, and it was quiet and peaceful. It was completely a different world from the inside.
They all looked at each other for a moment, and someone said, "Holy crap! We're out! This is so much fun! It's even better than those escape rooms that cost hundreds of dollars!"
"Although the plot isn't complicated, the visuals are fantastic! Not a single prop is out of place. If I didn't know there are no ghosts, I would have thought it was created by magic!"
Grandma Dengying, who was hiding in the house waiting for get off work to end, said: "..."
Zhou Tong straightened her clothes and said, "Let's go and find the embroiderer."
The embroiderer was still standing there. Seeing them come out, she smiled and said, "You really came out! Thank you, gentlemen, and thank you, young lady! If I didn't have the wedding dress, I would have been kicked out!"
Chang Xu handed over the wedding dress foolishly, "It's okay."
But Zhou Tong stopped her. She held the wedding dress in her arms and looked the embroiderer up and down. "Don't you have anything to say?"
The embroiderer looked puzzled, "Miss, what do you want me to say?"
Zhou Tong ignored her and continued to analyze, "I've always felt it was strange. The monster in the stone chamber killed everyone in the Li family so simply and brutally. Then why did the Li family suddenly fall into decline?"
"And it started half a year ago. Thinking about it, the changes that happened to the Li family half a year ago, besides the engagement, they also hired an embroiderer from outside. Is that you?"
"And the gifts Miss Li collected, whether it was a handkerchief or a hairpin or earrings, all had butterflies on them. This scene is also hinting that you are the mastermind behind this series of cases!"
"You disguise yourself as an embroiderer and have wealthy families invite you to their homes, then absorb their luck or vitality."
"That monster might be collaborating with you, or it might have been at the Li residence and accidentally disturbed by you. It's entrenched here, so you don't dare enter the embroidery building."
"You let us in not because you want a wedding dress, but because you want us to defeat that monster so you can go in and devour Miss Li's soul. You are the most evil ghost in this scene, right?"
After Zhou Tong finished speaking, regardless of the sudden change in the embroiderer's expression, he softly gave the order: "All those approaching the battle must march forward in formation."
The command was so powerful that the embroiderer screamed, "Ah - no!" and then disappeared.
There was a moment of silence all around. The people who witnessed all this felt their scalps tingling and their spines shivering.
"Ahhh! Sister Zhou Tong, you are so handsome!!"
"This embroiderer is also a holographic projection! I can't tell at all!"
"Big reversal! Fengdu is amazing!"
Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves, something landed from nowhere, and a voice said, "Congratulations, guest, for completing the scene - Embroidered Tower."
"Congratulations to the guest for achieving the title of Perfect Clearance."
"Congratulations to the guest for receiving the reward from the owner of the Embroidery Tower: the Candle Girl's Blessing."
Zhou Tong picked it up and saw that it was a red candle as long as an index finger. The wax body was a bright red that was somewhat transparent, and there were some incomprehensible characters engraved on it. The appearance was a bit mysterious, which was consistent with the overall style of Fengdu.
Everyone's sense of satisfaction soared instantly, and they all laughed and said, "Once again, we're worried that Fengdu will go bankrupt!"
At this time, an inconspicuous small wooden door next to it opened, and the companions who had been captured before walked out.
"Damn it, let me tell you, that room we're in is terrifying! It's pitch black, we can't see a thing, and there's something cold hitting us!"
"I just turned on the lights and saw that it was a water ball that hit us! This amusement park is so bad! Lao Wu stepped on me several times while I was trying to avoid the water ball!"
"Who is it? Who is it? I was even stepped on! Don't think I don't know. You're having so much fun that you've even shouted yourself hoarse..."
The group walked out laughing and telling each other about their experiences, and they just felt like they wanted to play it ten thousand more times.
At the door, Gu Wang was waiting for them. When he saw them come out, he smiled and said, "Guests are lucky to have received the blessing of the Candle Lady."
Several people were happy and smiled at him, "Our sister Zhou Tong, passed the level perfectly!"
Gu Wang's eyes lingered on Zhou Tong, his expression unchanged. "You are indeed very impressive. I will see you off."
The seven people thought it was a rule of the amusement park and didn't care.
After passing the stone tablet, Gu Wang quickly took off his Taoist robe, revealing normal clothes underneath. He said to the stunned people, "Forgive me, I'm just working part-time."
Zhou Tong saw a sharp black tip emerge from his sleeve and then retract in a flash, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
An idea struck her, and she asked, "Are you working part-time here? Were you a Taoist priest before?"
Gu Wang pinched the tip of the little black snake's tail and said, "I learned a little bit before." His master did not allow him to become a monk, so strictly speaking, he was considered a cultivator.
Zhou Tong didn't know what was wrong, but she felt an urge to ask for help. She whispered, "Since you are a Taoist priest, can you help me? I've recently... encountered something bad."
Gu Wang originally wanted to observe by seeing her off, but he didn't expect Zhou Tong to ask for help. This was a pleasant surprise, so he asked her to tell him in detail.
She spoke in a low voice, but Chang Xu had been paying attention to her and was shocked when he heard it. He also understood that such things should not be made public, so he thought of a reason to send his roommates away and stayed with Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong didn't care about anything else. Perhaps it was her sixth sense, she intuitively felt that Gu Wang was the person who could help her. After they introduced themselves to each other, she told him everything.
The poor girl almost choked up when she talked about her miserable life in college.
When I was a child, I was obsessed with Mary Sue and imagined myself as a princess with colorful hair that everyone loved. Who would have thought that the real Mary Sue would be so scary!
After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhou Tong said with a bitter face: "Master Gu, look at me, is there any hope?"
Gu Wang said a few soothing words, then opened his Yin Eye with his hand and observed it carefully for a moment. His expression became serious, "Huh? It's actually the Fox Clan's Charm Pearl?"
