Chapter 531 [(*^▽^*)]
After Lin Leyou opened the board, there were steps leading down. Of course, if it were really that simple, there wouldn't be only a few people in the village who know the location of this entrance.
To put it nicely, this slab is just a slab; to be more realistic, it's actually a large piece of bluestone. The entire indoor floor is paved with these large, flat pieces of bluestone.
How big is this piece of bluestone? This piece of bluestone is a cuboid, nearly two meters long, nearly one meter wide, and half a meter thick. And... the entire entrance is the size of two pieces of bluestone.
After all, the stone coffin is quite large, so the entrance must not be too small either, otherwise what if the stone coffin cannot be carried in? If people are to walk in, then only one bluestone needs to be moved aside. If the stone coffin is to be carried down, then two bluestones need to be moved aside together.
Lin Leyou looked at the downward staircase, stroked his chin and pondered, "How should I do this?"
If we use ordinary methods, these players will definitely find a way to break the code, so we can't use ghostly methods; we have to use human methods. So…
Lin Leyou summoned his three underlings, but now that they were all ghosts, there was not much they could do. He couldn't rely on them and had to find his own way.
He subconsciously touched the black jade ring on his finger. "Xiao Rui, do you have a good way to completely hide the entrance to the place where the stone coffin is placed so that it won't be discovered by the players?"
Xue Rui was in the village checking which villagers lived in relatively remote houses, hoping to kill some of them slowly. When he heard Lin Leyou's words, he thought of the passage behind the evil god statue.
"This passage definitely needs to be hidden..."
The only problem is figuring out how to hide it... that's a bit difficult, since the Evil God Temple is right there. Once you get to the Evil God Temple, you'll be able to find the entrance very quickly. After all, the players already know the exact location of the entrance from the villagers, so they won't be able to hide for long.
Just then, Xue Rui passed by the original home of the body owner, Zhong Wuyan... Of course, it had been razed to the ground and turned into farmland. After looking at it thoughtfully for a while, he asked, "Could we move the entire Evil God Temple forward a bit?"
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Move it forward? Move the Evil God Temple forward? This...can this work? Wait...maybe it can?
He flew out of the evil god's temple at lightning speed, observed it carefully from the sky for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "It really is possible, and it might even be completed very soon!"
As a vengeful ghost, he can materialize, and even help his underlings materialize, but it's still a bit difficult for him as a single vengeful ghost. "Xiao Rui, come to the Evil God Temple and help me now!"
Xue Rui immediately abandoned the affairs of the village and rushed to the evil god temple. "I'm here."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Take a look at this evil god temple. How about moving it forward two hundred meters? There's a flat area over there that's just the right size to put the evil god temple. Oh, and we can leave that little hut we decorated behind here. Anyway, no one except the villagers will know there's a little hut."
"Even Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia, who came before, never went to the back. All the players who knew about this hut are dead."
Xue Rui looked at the small hut behind them, a place where they could rest when they were tired. It was indeed a place they could stay, so they decided to stay.
Lin Leyou controlled his three henchmen behind him, solidifying them into physical form. They changed from their original weak appearance and immediately became imposing.
Lin Leyou transferred most of his ghostly energy to them, so that he could control three directions at once, while Xue Rui stood in the remaining direction, making it exactly four corners.
Xue Rui stood in his position and nodded to him, "We can begin."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay, let's begin."
Just as they were preparing to move the entire evil god temple to a different location, Rong Yuwen and his group had already arrived at the bridge that Lin Leyou had tampered with.
Before they even got close to the bridge, they could sense the grayish-white mist around them from afar. Rong Yuwen turned to Guo Chengzheng and the others and asked, "Was this here when you came?"
Guo Chengzheng shook his head, "We made a round trip, and it went very smoothly. We didn't encounter anything."
Rong Yuwen nodded, "It seems that the BOSS is preventing us from going to the Evil God Temple. Our previous guess was probably correct."
"Captain Rong, you mean... the corpse in the stone coffin at the bottom of the Evil God Temple?"
Rong Yuwen said, "It's not 100% certain yet, but whether in reality or in many instances, the reason ghosts can exist is because there are still corpses. Once the corpses are burned and reduced to ashes, the ghosts will also dissipate. I think this principle can also be applied in this instance."
"If that's really the case, then the BOSS should have appeared directly to stop us. The previous vengeful spirits seemed like a minor disturbance."
Rong Yuwen said, "Don't underestimate the BOSS. What happened before was just an appetizer. The fog in front of us is definitely not simple. Everyone must not get separated. It's easiest to get separated in the fog and then get killed by one person."
Everyone here is an expert, so they naturally understand this principle. "In that case, why don't we all move closer together, or hold onto each other's clothes?"
No one objected, especially considering the loss of two players just now. Guo Chengzheng, standing behind Guo Xia, suddenly grabbed his arm. When Guo Xia looked over, he smiled at him.
Guo Xia didn't say anything, "Let's go."
Guo Xia walked in front, Guo Cheng was behind, and someone was holding onto the hem of his clothes behind him. Guo Xia walked to the front and casually grabbed the hem of someone's clothes. The person in front of this person was Rong Yuwen.
Rong Yuwen walked at the front, and no one objected. In such a short time, everyone spontaneously followed him as the leader, and even felt that it was the right thing to do.
It has to be said that Rong Yuwen's subtle and effective approach was quite impressive. Guo Xia was amazed by it and thought that once they returned to the real world, they would definitely investigate this person thoroughly. Guo Xia reaffirmed this in his mind.
Led by Rong Yuwen, they slowly walked forward, entering the mist ahead. Originally, from outside the mist, they could see the bridge faintly visible within it, but…
Strangely, when they entered the fog, they found they couldn't see it anymore! They couldn't see where the bridge was. Rong Yuwen, who was walking in front, frowned slightly, but didn't change direction. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
After walking for about a minute, he saw the bridge again. The bridge was surrounded by an omnipresent grayish-white mist. He could even see that the mist seemed to be forming a vortex, and the bridge was the passage leading to the center of this vortex.
For a moment, he himself hesitated, wondering if he should continue moving forward.
The person behind him asked curiously, "Captain Rong, why are we stopping? What happened up ahead?"
Rong Yuwen: "Look ahead, do you see anything?"
The person behind him said, "There's nothing there, it's just an ordinary bridge, what's wrong with that?"
Rong Yuwen: "And what about this fog?"
The other person hesitated for a moment before saying, "The fog is very thick, and it's a bit hard to see. Let's hurry and cross the bridge."
Rong Yuwen glanced at the detection device he was carrying, but there was no reaction, which meant there were no ghosts around. He then turned to look behind him, where he saw players he recognized. With the device, he could confirm that they were not fake.
"In that case, let's keep moving forward."
The swirling mist he had just seen had vanished, as if it had been his imagination. He proceeded cautiously and slowly forward.
According to Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xiazhong, there was indeed fog near the bridge, but it was very thin and barely obstructed the view.
And so, the eighteen players, each holding onto the sleeves or hems of another's clothes, continued forward under Rong Yuwen's guidance... no, not forward, but in circles.
They walked from one side of the bridge to the other, circled around, and then walked back. After crossing the bridge, they circled around again and crossed the bridge once more. This cycle repeated until Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia were almost dizzy.
However, this was not the case for others. They walked onto the bridge and crossed it quickly. After crossing the bridge, they walked forward and found that there was another bridge in front of them, exactly the same as the previous one.
After crossing the bridge again and passing through the mist, they found themselves facing another bridge. After crossing six bridges in a row, Rong Yuwen knew that they should stop.
"I think everyone has a clear understanding of the current situation. What do you all think we should do?"
Soon someone said, "This must be a maze; we can just use a prop to get out."
Rong Yuwen nodded, "That would indeed work, but... everyone uses their own props, and even after leaving the ghost wall, they'll still be separated once they're outside, which is very dangerous."
"In that case, we have no choice but to break through this maze."
While everyone was discussing how to break free from the "ghost wall" illusion, one player suddenly spoke up, "This isn't a ghost wall illusion."
Everyone looked at him, and Rong Yuwen asked softly, "Are you sure?"
The other party nodded solemnly, "I have a special tool that can detect being trapped in a maze... but this tool isn't working, which means..."
Everyone knows they're all players, so there's no question of them lying. If this isn't a case of being trapped in a maze, then it must be something else entirely...
Rong Yuwen said, "It seems that the problem lies in this fog. If we can find a way to dispel this fog, we should be able to get out of trouble."
Only then did everyone concentrate on observing the fog. "We don't know how big this fog is."
"We've been walking for so long, it should be very big, this fog..."
Rong Yuwen shook his head, "I don't think so. Haven't you noticed that we've been going in circles around this bridge?"
