"You actually used a gun... to kill Brother Xu Fei? I... I will fight you!" Xuanxuan rushed forward angrily, took out a talisman paper, and a fire talisman shot out. Ning Xue was so scared that she ran into the Eight Gates.
Xuanxuan was about to chase after him, but Su Xiaoniu stopped her and said, "Don't chase after him, it's fake."
"Fake?" Xuanxuan walked back and looked at Su Xiaoniu with a confused look on her face.
"Ask him yourself." However, Su Xiaoniu looked at me calmly, as if she didn't feel sorry for me being shot by Ning Xue.
But Xuanxuan was different. She stared with her big watery eyes and said, "But...but Brother Xu Fei is already dead..."
I squeezed my closed eyes slightly, only to find that Su Xiaoniu suddenly punched me in the chest, right at the wound where Ning Xue had just shot me. "How long are you going to play dead?"
I clutched my aching chest, sat up, and said in surprise, "My acting is so good, how did you find out? This doesn't make sense!"
Su Xiaoniu said nonchalantly, "I asked you to put the Bagua mirror on your chest, but you never took it away. The Bagua mirror is so tough that it can't be broken by ordinary bullets. How do you think I found out?"
I patted my forehead. Okay, Su Xiaoniu is so smart! She even noticed such a small detail. It's really awesome.
Indeed, the shot Ning Xue fired at my chest just now hit the Bagua mirror. It didn't hit me directly. I immediately pulled the Bagua mirror out of my arms, only to find a tiny, sharp steel bullet lodged in the gap between the mirror's frames. However, the mirror showed no signs of shattering, demonstrating just how incredibly strong it was.
When Xuanxuan found out that I was pretending to be dead, she started crying a little, but suddenly rushed up and kicked me: "Brother Xu Fei is so bad! He made me... cry." She rubbed her eyes.
I smiled awkwardly. Actually, I didn't want to play dead. If I hadn't used convincing acting to trick that fake Ning Xue, who knows how many more shots she would have shot me in! By then, I'd really be dead.
Xuanxuan stopped crying only after I coaxed her.
But another problem arose. The first person to emerge from these eight gates was the real Ning Xue. Su Xiaoniu and I had already confirmed this, and I had even made things worse by angering Ning Xue and sending her running away. However, another Ning Xue appeared from the eight gates. At first, I thought she was here to apologize, but I was clearly wrong. I should have been the one apologizing. That was all I could think at the time.
But when I got closer, I felt something different about this Ning Xue. There was a hint of violence, a touch less tenderness. This wasn't like Ning Xue. Even if she was furious, she wouldn't reveal the devilish fury she possessed. Furthermore, there wasn't a trace of tenderness in her words; only blood and violence.
But when I realized it, she had already pointed the gun at my chest, and I was shot dead. Damn it, luckily I had my Bagua mirror on my chest, which saved my life.
So, after our three-person analysis, we concluded that these eight doors are indeed passages connecting to the other seven, and that what emerges from them could be real, but it could also be fake. Whether what appears before us is real or fake depends entirely on our familiarity with them. If we make a mistake, we will be doomed.
It’s like two Ning Xue appeared in succession just now, but I actually recognized them both wrong!
It seems I don't know Ning Xue well enough. Otherwise, how could she admit her mistake twice?
Another question is, if the person coming out of it is fake, why is the bullet fired from the gun real? If it weren't for the Bagua mirror saving my life, I'm afraid I would be dead now.
We can’t figure out the answer to this for the time being. Maybe it’s “the person is fake, but the murder weapon is real”?
We shook our heads, not wanting to think about what was going on, because we didn't have time to think about it. Suddenly, someone else emerged from the Eight Gates. At this moment, the three of us were extremely nervous, concentrating on observing the person coming out of the Eight Gates.
It was a man, dressed in black, and in the pitch darkness, it was impossible to see his face. However, just by looking at his outline, we thought of one person - the madman in black.
That's right, the person who came was the madman in black. It seems that our first answer was correct. Among the eight gates, there are seven gates connected to the other gates. Other intruders may appear here. As for where the other gate leads to, we don't know. We only know that it is definitely not the gate to ghosts.
"You... are all here? This is, Dumen?" When the madman in black discovered us, he realized that he might have come to Dumen.
However, I didn't dare get too close to him, because I was afraid I'd recognize the wrong person again and die without knowing how. However, Su Xiaoniu walked up to him very calmly and greeted him: "Did you pass the level?"
The madman in black shook his head and said calmly, "No. But it will be soon. It's just that eight doors appeared on our side, and we don't know where they lead to, so we're going in to try... I entered through the red door, and now I appear in the Dumen, which means that the red door corresponds to the Dumen..."
"Red? But I clearly saw you come out of the purple door?" I pointed curiously at the eight doors behind him. The madman in black said he entered through the red door and then appeared at the Dumen Gate, but the door he just came out of was purple. This...
