I just had a thought in my mind, is it possible that this rule is wrong?
But the next second he was rejected by himself.
When I had similar thoughts before, if it weren't for the life offset rewarded by clearing Chonghui Hotel, I would have died long ago.
But this is also a huge doubt.
Originally, I thought that at six o'clock in the morning, the coffin would be sent away at most, giving me some breathing time.
But now I simply think too much.
The funeral may have ended with the coffin being carried away for cremation, but I was not able to get rid of this copy.
Even came to this alley.
After walking such a distance, I smelled a familiar smell in the air. It was the humidity that can be smelled with the nose in the mourning hall.
But in the mourning hall, the humidity was mixed with the smell of decay and mold.
But now in the alley, apart from the humidity, the only smell left is the smell of loess underfoot.
Even though there are incense burning at the door of several houses, the smell of incense is not as pungent as the three pillars in the mourning hall.
This is also very strange.
Looking at the corner in front of me, I felt very unsure. I was not sure whether I should turn or not.
The rules clearly stated that only after a strange phenomenon occurs on the moon, you need to turn left at the next intersection immediately to recover.
There is no requirement to follow a specific route.
This can be roughly deduced from the fifth rule. It only takes nine turns in total to reach the house.
In other words, you only need to go straight, and there is no need to deliberately turn, which will only make you passive.
Although there are rules, it is emphasized that when you see an empty bowl on the roadside, you need to add rice to the empty bowl.
But what if you pretend not to see it?
Or maybe I haven’t walked that road at all, so it’s not considered the roadside from my perspective?
Xie Chen took a breath.
This is not the most important thing.
It is clearly stated in the rules that no one is following you, you just need to keep moving forward.
But this further proves that there is someone behind him. If he turns back now, what scene will he see?
I couldn't even imagine it myself.
In the mourning hall before, the black figure emerging from the coffin might be the real owner of the big red coffin.
"Am I going to the house?"
Xie Chen muttered to himself.
Based on this line of thinking, if I haven't left this copy yet, it proves that things are definitely not over yet.
If we follow the normal logic of the real world, after a person dies, his coffin will remain in a designated place for seven days before being buried.
The people who keep vigil during this period are basically only relatives or close friends of the deceased.
After all, these two identities are mostly relatives and only a few friends.
Before he died, he heard the black shadow speak, "Come and stay with me."
Could it be that those lying in the coffin are actually close relatives and friends of the role he plays in this dungeon?
After the vigil, the next step is the funeral.
According to this calculation, the house we are going to now should be the place where the funeral is held.
Xie Chen was a little frightened, and he didn't care whether his reasoning was correct or not, but all the subtleties were justified.
These do not allow me to have the slightest intention of exploiting loopholes.
Once you turn the corner, you can't turn back. Although the road ahead is dim, it is illuminated by this light source that doesn't know where it comes from. It is definitely much brighter than the alley where you turned left.
Xie Chen walked forward gently, his voice crossing the alley, and he had no intention of turning around and walking in.
After completely passing through the alley, a gust of cold wind blew past me, which made my whole body goosebumps.
Xie Chen instinctively wanted to turn back, but immediately remembered the precautions mentioned in the rules, so he still controlled his body and allowed the cold wind to erode him.
The cold wind behind me blew quickly. At first, I felt it was a bit like being blown by the cold wind in the mourning hall, but it wasn't until I completely left the alley and took three or four steps forward.
Only then did the cold wind blowing on him completely disappear.
Although Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that a voice would suddenly ring from his ears.
Although the rules keep denying it, no matter how I look at it, it feels like someone is behind me.
In fact, there are some contradictions in the rules.
That's the last rule.
When asking myself to avoid the "well", I even used the word "retreat". I didn't understand why I had to retreat.
Is it possible that if you encounter a well, can you still let yourself fall into it?
And the rules say you can't go back, but you don't know if you can go back. It's impossible to go backwards with your body. On this kind of loess road, you can't even see the road clearly.
This rule is also self-contradictory.
Xie Chen didn't dare to stop and look back, but kept the same pace and walked forward little by little.
This speed is not fast, but fortunately, since the cold wind stopped, he has not been fatally threatened.
This also proves that my judgment just now is correct.
Xie Chen quickly looked at the moon above his head and found that the moon had not changed at this time. Compared with the previous moon, there were only two more dark clouds around it.
"It seems that it is right to go straight forward. Let's see what strange things will appear next."
Especially the so-called dangerous situations in the rules.
Once you encounter a dangerous situation, you have to eat rice on the roadside. This must be a question mark first.
After all, you need to test it with your own body. Whether this rule is true or false, I don't dare to act yet.
Xie Chen lowered his head and looked at the two bowls of rice next to each other on the roadside. One bowl was very full, while the other bowl only had a little bit of rice at the bottom.
It can be seen that someone pinched a little bit of the saturated bowl with their fingers.
"The rules say there is always rice in it. Is this what it means?"
Xie Chen murmured to himself.
But looking at it this way, could it be that someone has walked through this alley before?
And people who walk this alley have seen the relevant rules.
Thinking about this level, I still can't believe it.
If you want to say that, then someone should have experienced what I will face next.
Xie Chen carefully recalled the contents of the rules, and there was a mention of the appearance of something wearing a white leather cloak, which probably refers to the possibility of encountering it after eating rice.
This would be a bit difficult to handle.
Although I didn't expect it in my heart, just from the literal point of view, the appearance of something wearing a white leather cloak must have raised the level of danger to a higher level.
Thinking of the danger, he couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket, and just when he lowered his head to take it out.
But he found that his clothes had changed.
I don’t know when exactly it happened, but I actually wore a thin Tsing Yi.
And the loose long sleeves are no different from ancient Hanfu.
Xie Chen's pupils narrowed.
He was obviously wearing a shirt, and when he was standing at the intersection just now thinking about it, he also looked at the sleeves and saw that he was not wearing Tsing Yi at all!
Xie Chen quickly held it in his hands and closed the cuffs next to it.
This piece of green clothing has almost no texture, and even when worn on the body, it can be said that there is no touch at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the color had changed with my eyes and that the originally exposed arms were covered with this large piece of fabric, I really wouldn't have noticed that the clothes had changed.
Xie Chen shook his head.
The cyan Hanfu in front of me made me feel a hint of danger, and even reminded me of one of the rules.
The most straightforward one is the "green bamboo strip paper man".
After the bamboo paper man of this color appeared, he had to follow him.
But the opportunity for this kind of paper man to appear is also to eat the rice on the roadside.
Xie Chen frowned, looked at the green clothes on his body, and directly untied the cloth strips around his waist.
But the next second, he untied the strip of cloth still in his hand, but it returned to its original tied state.
I was a little stunned, but this scene really appeared in front of me. Even if I wanted to find an excuse to numb my perception, I couldn't do it.
I couldn't take off the green clothes I was wearing.
After the green bamboo strip paper man appears, if he sees himself in green clothes, will there be any strange reaction?
Can my Tsing Yi be directly linked to the danger I encountered in this loess alley?
Xie Chen lowered his hands naturally, and while walking slowly forward, he was also thinking about this problem in his heart.
The bottom line is, the more you think about it, the more likely it is.
"It seems like this outfit only appeared on me after the gust of wind blew..."
Xie Chen asked himself, then squinted in thought.
if it is like this……
Xie Chen quickly raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. The moon had not changed at this time, but he stared at it, not daring to slack off at all.
What I'm afraid of is that the moon may change, and it's regular.
If I miss every change of the moon because of this, then I really have no place to complain.
Xie Chen just stood there, half raising his head and staring at the moon in the sky.
I also recited the rules about the moon silently in my mind.
[The moon is a round object that emits white light and only appears in the sky. 】
Not only does the first half of the sentence match, but so far it's pretty good. At least the moon still retains the same appearance as it was originally seen, still hanging in the night sky.
But as time goes by, the entire moon seems to move downward a little bit.
Xie Chen quickly rubbed his eyes with one hand and continued to watch the moon in the sky with the other eye.
After rubbing his eyes and opening them, the moon in front of him seemed to be turning red.
Xie Chen felt weak all over.
The quiet environment around me seemed to be blowing with a gust of wind.
