She said, "What I just said to Man Yuanyi is actually right. The elevator is the road to the underworld!" And because of the characteristics of the elevator, it is easy for those wandering ghosts in the world of the living to think that this is the passage to the underworld. People with weak yang energy are particularly likely to see their true bodies late at night, so it is best not to take the elevator at night."
I was terrified when I heard that. Su Xiaoniu then explained why we had to take the elevator in Ghost Town. It was because there was a real Ghost Gate in Ghost Town. The Ghost Gate we just saw was real. But when the Ghost Gate was open, too many ghosts would come in and out. Rushing in at that time would undoubtedly be a hassle. So, Su Xiaoniu took me to find a shortcut. When the Ghost Gate opened, we could take the elevator near it and start the journey to the underworld. This would also lead us directly to the underworld without any obstacles.
Although there is no guarantee that there will not be a few naughty little ghosts who do not take the usual route and do not enter and exit the ghost gate according to the rules of the underworld, but instead find another way to come to the world of the living and just happen to bump into us... In addition, it is late at night, and it is Ghost Festival, and the location is in the elevator, so there is a great probability of bumping into some lonely ghosts that were originally floating in the world of the living.
In just ten minutes, Su Xiaoniu told me ten things to remember later.
Modern elevators all use stainless steel, with a shiny finish. Especially when riding alone at night, it's important not to stare at your own reflection. It's said that staring for more than five seconds can lead to terrifying sights. I was riding the elevator with Man Yuanyi, and although I wasn't alone, Su Xiaoniu's words still gave me a chill, and I didn't dare even glance at the mirror-like sides of the elevator.
Second: Ladies who love makeup should be especially careful: never look in the mirror in an elevator. The principle is the same as in the first point. This is fine. Man Yuanyi and I aren't women, and we don't carry mirrors, except for my bagua mirror. What grown man would carry a mirror around in an elevator?
Three: If, as you're about to enter the elevator, you notice the only person inside who you don't recognize is looking down, their eyes fixed on you, absolutely do not enter. Excuse yourself and wait for the next one. It's said that person is a ghost; any normal person would glance at you and look away. Hmm... this one shouldn't apply, right? We're already in the elevator, and it turns out there's no one else in there besides Man Yuanyi and me!
Four: Similar to the third rule, if you're alone in an elevator and see someone you don't know enter with their head down but their eyes fixed on you, forget it and immediately exit the elevator. Never stay there for more than three seconds. The principle is the same as the third rule. This one might be useful, since we're already in the elevator, and there's no guarantee someone will come in later.
Five: If you're unlucky enough to fall into the second or third scenario, remember this: if someone asks you what time it is, don't tell them. It's said that's when you'll die. Just make up another excuse: "I didn't have my watch on me" or "it stopped." I was stunned. "How the hell is that even possible?" I quickly told Man Yuanyi to hide his watch!
Six: Similar to number five, it's taboo to ask someone the time in an elevator. It can easily lead to misunderstandings. Also, if there's a ghost around, the time they tell you will be your death. Remember this. —Although similar to number five, since it's just Man Yuanyi and me in the elevator, unless someone else comes in, this one can be ignored.
Seven: If you're standing in an elevator with a stranger, remember not to stand behind him or have him stand behind you. You should stand side by side with him. It's said that both evil spirits and demons are willing to attack from behind or from the front, so standing side by side will give you more resistance. —Uh... well, it's just Man Yuanyi and I in the elevator, and neither of us are women. Man Yuanyi wouldn't attack me, would he? Anyway, I was originally standing behind him, but I decisively walked over and stood side by side with him. He gave me a strange look, completely confused as to what I was doing.
8. If a woman is riding alone in an elevator and the power goes out, don't panic. Never use a lighter, especially in winter, as that would be like setting yourself on fire. Press the call button and wait for help. If someone asks you how many people are traveling with you, don't say just one; that's like inviting a wolf into the house, because you don't know who's on the other end. —This is also important to remember. After all, we're in an elevator right now. Who knows if it might suddenly malfunction? And what if a ghost answers the call button when you press it? Also, why is Su Xiaoniu talking mostly about women? Isn't there anything about us men? Or do we men have the ability to exorcise ghosts?
9. If the elevator door isn't in the correct position after opening, but is halfway exposed, don't rush out. Press the call button and wait for help. Accidents often occur while you're trying to get out. The elevator could suddenly drop or rise, crushing you to death. —Just remember this!
10. If you enter an elevator and there's only one pair of shoes inside, don't go in. They say the ghost is standing there, you just can't see it. — I froze for a moment, looking down at the ground. Damn it! I couldn't help but sigh in relief. Thankfully, there weren't any shoes in the elevator.
There are a total of ten stories about encountering ghosts in the elevator, but Su Xiaoniu said so much, why do I feel that it has little to do with the purpose of our visit here tonight?
Su Xiaoniu huffed, "The reason I'm mentioning these ten things first is because when we go to the underworld, there's a high probability that something will happen in the elevator. I want to give you a heads-up so you don't get caught off guard. Okay?"
