Chapter 11 The lighted door rattled through the building late at night...
7F.
The floor that Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can had been looking for finally appeared in front of them.
The black fog on the seventh floor was so thick that Lin Zhuyue didn't dare to go in. She was not sure whether this was the real seventh floor, nor did she know whether there were any dangerous traps.
Shi Chan walked straight in.
"Why--?"
Lin Zhuyue couldn't call him back, so she could only follow him in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the seventh floor, I saw tiny lights at the other end of the corridor covered with thick fog, and there were "bang" and "bang" sounds. Something was shot out, brushing against the air and making a breaking sound, and it came towards this side.
Lin Zhuyue picked up the broom.
“Absolute Blade——!”
Shi Can's movements were even faster. He had unknowingly picked up a slender knife emitting a faint blue-purple glow in his left hand. He drew the knife and slashed it cleanly, colliding with the flying object and making a sound of fast-moving metal collision and friction.
The flying objects fell to the ground. They were two small Five Emperors coins that were cut in half.
Shi Can opened his mouth and cursed:
"You want to die? Are you trying to murder me by confusing friend with foe?"
Ye Yangjia's voice came from the black fog:
"Don't mention death in this situation. How would I know it was you?"
Footsteps were heard, and Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia walked out of the black fog, their figures gradually becoming clearer.
Ye Yangjia held a silver gun with a cold metallic texture in his left and right hands, but the magical thing was that this gun could glow just like the sword in Shi Can's hand.
Wen Miyan's hands were not empty either. In her hand was a halberd that was nearly as tall as a person, and it was still emitting light even in this thick black fog.
"This is Lingwu."
Wen Miyan noticed Lin Zhuyue's curious look and explained very considerately,
"It's a power hidden in the soul, and only a few people can awaken it. Even in the Spiritual Master Academy, there are very few people who can awaken spiritual weapons."
Ye Yangjia added:
“But most people in class one have it.”
Lin Zhuyue nodded, not quite understanding.
Will she have a magical weapon in the future? What will it be? Will it be a mop or a broom? If it's a broom, can she fly on it?
The long sword in Shi Can's hand disappeared like magic. He asked Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia:
"If you two are here, this is the seventh floor, right?"
"It's the seventh floor."
Wen Miyan took out the walkie-talkie,
"We tried to contact you after we reached the seventh floor, but we couldn't get through. Furthermore, there was a strange laugh coming from the intercom."
Ye Yangjia keenly sensed something was wrong:
"You ask, what's wrong?"
Shi Chan answered without hiding anything:
"We were stuck, but at least we made it to the seventh floor and reunited with you. Thanks to those two shots, we don't have to verify your identity anymore."
Wen Miyan covered her mouth and turned her head away, as if trying to hold back her laughter.
Lin Zhuyue was a little confused.
"Ghosts sometimes pretend to be other people. When we carry out our missions and separate and then reunite, we have to verify each other's identities."
Ye Yangjia explained,
"But it's hard for them to fake Lingwu."
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "So that's how it is."
She stood in the corridor on the seventh floor, looking around, and said:
"Is this where the City Detective Team's live broadcast ends? What should we do next?"
"Of course I'm looking for someone."
Shi Can answered Lin Zhuyue's question.
"Open all the doors on the seventh floor and see if there are any abnormalities. Regardless of whether there are any abnormalities, do not close the doors. Keep them open. But remember, you can only open the doors, not go in. If you have any problems, just call us."
Wen Miyan said, "In metaphysics, the word 'door' has a special meaning. Sometimes it can connect to the other side of the world."
Lin Zhuyue asked doubtfully, "The other side of the world?"
"From our perspective, the world is divided into the Yang side and the Yin side. The Yang side is where we live, and the Yin side... places like the underworld are on the Yin side."
Wen Miyan tried to explain to Lin Zhuyue,
"And between the Yin and Yang sides, there are many tiny spaces hidden. We call them the Yin-Yang gaps. If you fall directly into the underworld, you might be able to be rescued. But if you fall into the overly random Yin-Yang gap, the probability of returning will be infinitely close to zero."
It sounds really dangerous.
Shi Chan has already taken action:
"Don't waste time, go open the door."
Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia had already opened part of the door. They turned around and walked back in the direction they came from, continuing to open the door on that side.
Shi Chan walked to the other side.
Lin Zhuyue swallowed, reached out and grasped the cold, rusty and slightly abrasive door handle, turned it slightly and opened the door.
There were some old furniture inside the room, and the dust was floating around, making Lin Zhuyue's nose itchy.
This should be fine.
Lin Zhuyue went to open the next door.
This time there was nothing inside the door, it was empty. It must be that the owner of the house was quite frugal and moved all the furniture away when he moved.
This one is fine too.
Lin Zhuyue opened nearly ten doors in a row, and there was no problem inside.
Lin Zhuyue couldn't help but have some doubts in his mind.
Is there really a door here connecting to another space?
Lin Zhuyue turned the door handle while wondering.
The door opened inward, and white light leaked out from inside, accompanied by lively laughter as sweet as silver bells.
Lin Zhuyue: "!"
This is an old residential building that has been almost completely vacated. The remaining residents have been accommodated in a hotel by the police, so there is no one inside. The white light could be explained by the residents forgetting to turn off the lights before leaving, but what about the laughter?
Lin Zhuyue opened the door, took a few steps back, and called out:
"Shi Chan!"
No response.
"Shi Can! Wen Miyan! Ye Yangjia!?"
Her voice was the only sound echoing in the corridor.
Lin Zhuyue looked around, but there was no sign of his companions on either side, only increasingly thick black fog.
Lin Zhuyue took a deep breath and clenched the broom in her hand. She raised her hand and tried to inject spiritual power into the red bracelet. A red line appeared in front of her eyes, connecting to the direction where Shi Can had gone before.
Lin Zhuyue followed the line.
But she walked for a long time and didn't see anyone.
So strange.
Is the corridor of this residential building really that long? Is this another case of a ghost wall?
Lin Zhuyue's heart was pounding.
"Da", "Da", "Da"...
Sounds other than heartbeats appeared, growing larger and larger, from far away to near, and sounded somewhat familiar.
The woman in the floral dress walked out of the black fog. She still had long hair and was standing on tiptoe on her bare feet.
Lin Zhuyue felt his hairs stand on end.
The woman was getting closer and closer to Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue became more and more nervous, and her heart was beating in her throat.
The woman looked straight ahead as if she didn't see Lin Zhuyue, and walked past her.
Lin Zhuyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a chill on her back and had no idea when she had broken out in a cold sweat.
She held the broom and walked in the direction indicated by the red line.
As she walked, she saw the light again.
It was the same door as before, opened a little wider, white light poured out, and there was still pleasant laughter from inside.
Lin Zhuyue didn't stop and left quickly.
However, after walking for a while, she saw the door again.
"clatter".
"clatter".
"clatter"……
The woman in the floral skirt came from the front again.
Just when Lin Zhuyue thought that she would ignore him and pass by him again, the woman lowered her head slightly and looked at her, giving her a smile. The smile was sinister and cruel, like a wild dog looking at its prey.
Lin Zhuyue was terrified to the extreme.
But the woman still didn't do anything to her. After laughing, she raised her head as before and walked straight forward.
Lin Zhuyue took a few deep breaths and started walking forward.
As she walked, she came across the door again.
Her emotions began to break down.
A voice in her head said to her, "Go in."
"Come in."
"Let's go in and take a look."
"It's nice inside. Once you go in, you won't be so scared."
Lin Zhuyue didn't enter the room, but chose to continue walking in the direction indicated by the red line. But as expected, not long after, she encountered this door again.
Lin Zhuyue did not continue to move forward, but stopped at the door.
"Da", "Da", "Da"...
The familiar sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard.
The woman with long hair and a floral dress emerged from the black fog again, gradually approaching Lin Zhuyue. Seeing Lin Zhuyue standing in front of the door, she smiled. This time, the cruel smile remained on her face, refusing to fade.
She walked to Lin Zhuyue's side, stopped moving forward, and turned sideways, looking down at Lin Zhuyue, and stretched out her hand to Lin Zhuyue who was holding the broom.
She held out her hands.
When the other person is in a good mood, you only need to extend one hand to kindly invite and help him/her. Extending two hands is usually for pushing or shoving.
Her hand was indeed reaching out to Lin Zhuyue's shoulder.
Before the two hands touched his shoulders, Lin Zhuyue raised the broom high.
She swung the broom vigorously from left to right.
Bang!
The long-haired woman was hit and her head tilted away.
"Come in, your uncle!"
Lin Zhuyue swung the broom from right to left again.
"Is it fun to walk around like that? Don't you think it's disturbing to walk around the building in the middle of the night? Do you have any manners?"
Bang!
The long-haired woman's head was hit again and tilted to the other side.
"Laugh, laugh, what's so funny?"
Lin Zhuyue slammed the broom down hard from above.
"You're laughing so happily, did you win the lottery or a round-the-world travel package? You're mentally retarded! You're crazy!"
"Lin Zhuyue!"
Lin Zhuyue finally heard Shi Can's call.
There were also several hurried footsteps. It was Shi Can, Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia running towards this side.
Shi Can asked anxiously: "How are you? Are you okay..."
Before he could utter the word "bar", Shi Chan had already seen the scene in front of him clearly.
A long-haired woman in a floral dress had a broom pressed against her head, lying face down, struggling violently. However, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not move the broom from her head.
Lin Zhuyue was holding the broom and panting, not sure whether he was tired or angry.
Shi Can: “…”
Ye Yangjia put one hand on Shi Can's shoulder:
"Well, Mr. Noble Spellbinder, is she qualified to be your partner?"
