The search on the second floor was quickly completed, and Baiyunshan came to the staircase according to the memory of going up to the second floor.
Sure enough, the bloody footprints that were originally seen by Takayama Ichimi but then disappeared reappeared on the stairs, but at this time, she seemed to be invisible.
The footprints are walking from top to bottom. From the angle of the footprints, you can tell that you are going downstairs. There are two steps in total. There is a footprint on each step, and it spreads all the way to Baiyun Mountain.
"The size of the footprints is about forty-one by visual inspection. It looks like the footprints of a man with a height of over 1.7 meters." Baiyunshan stared at the footprints and thought, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily: "The ghosts in front must die. Flags are almost all related to the eyes, that is, they cannot look at each other and cannot see them, or they can react quickly enough to avoid them. So what should we do with these bloody footprints? Take off our shoes after stepping on them? Or should we not step on them and avoid them completely? Floor? It always feels like it’s not that simple.”
"There's no way you can make me go upstairs upside down, right?"
Baiyunshan thought for a while and was about to try the handstand method of climbing upstairs when he suddenly discovered a problem.
"That's wrong! Why can I still see ghosts in the front, but here there are only bloody footprints, but no other supernatural phenomena? Are you trying to mislead me and make me focus solely on the footprints?"
"But this is a reminder in the book. If this bloody footprint is a death flag, the kind that will kill you if you step on it, wouldn't it be equivalent to death if you ignore it?"
At this moment, Baiyunshan suddenly felt a chill on his skin, and a creepy feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, because just in the gap above the two flights of stairs, a sinister face was staring at him coldly!
Baiyunshan frowned. He didn't dare to look directly. Judging from previous experiences, this was almost equal to death. So just like in the classroom, I observed with blurry edges of my sight. Unfortunately, this time the distance was far away and I couldn't get any useful information. I could only learn some insignificant things.
In this spatial position, when looking at the face above from bottom to top, the person's face must be upside down, but the result of Baiyunshan's observation is that the face is upright. There are only two possibilities. One, that person's face is upright. The head turns 180 degrees on the body, so that this kind of movement can be achieved that exceeds the limits of the human body. Second, that person has no body except his head.
But it seems that it doesn't matter which of these two possibilities it is, because the answer is that he can no longer be human.
"Baiyun-sang... why have we been standing here for so long without going up? What happened?" After a short silence, Gao Shan Yixin behind Baiyun Mountain couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Baiyun-sang also saw it? Arrived at the footprints?”
"It's not just the footprints. What I saw is much more powerful than you!" Baiyunshan said nonchalantly: "That guy is up there. Let me describe it to you. As the saying goes: the mouth is three feet long at first, and the fangs are The silver nail came out of the match. A pair of round eyes were like lightning, and the wind whistled in the ears. There was a long row of iron arrows on the back of the head, and the skin was rough and green. There was a strange thing in the hand, and everyone was surprised by the nine-tooth nail. The teeth are as sharp as steel files, and the long mouth is open like a brazier. The golden helmet is tied tightly to the girdle, and the silk tape python is stretched out. In the hand is a nail rake, the dragon is probing its claws, and at the waist is a bow and a half-moon wheel. Jiujiu bullies Tai Sui with majesty and high-spiritedness. The ambition is greater than the gods." This guy recited the entire original text of Journey to the West in one breath, as if he was speaking cross talk, without blushing or out of breath, which made Gao Shan stunned.
"Qiaodou sack." Gao Shan thought for a while and said weakly: "Wait a minute, with this appearance, isn't this Zhu Bajie? Right? Apart from Zhu Bajie, no one else fits your description, right?"
"Huh? It's amazing, Gao Shan, you can tell who I'm talking about?" Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows and complained.
Then, Bai Yunshan continued: "Of course, don't care about these details. A certain gold medal Grand Sima once said that you think he is a pig, so he is a pig. This is a philosophy."
While Gao Shan over there was still thinking about the philosophical meaning of this sentence, Baiyun Mountain was meditating on the other side.
"It seems that the ghosts here are more powerful than the last. At first, you just need to not look at the eyes. Then in addition to not looking at the eyes, you also have to remember not to respond. The next step is even more troublesome. In addition to the bloody footprints, you also have to stare at them. Follow me, each one is more difficult than the last... huh? Wait, how difficult is it? "
Baiyun Mountain seemed to have suddenly discovered a very important place.
"Is it getting more and more difficult? If I were the ghost here, I would definitely kill the guy who was dangling in front of me immediately. I would definitely not have time to play RPG games with him, so the difficulty is getting higher and higher. It shouldn't be wrong to be bigger, as every ghost that appears is equally dangerous."
"And if it's equally dangerous, then what causes me to have the illusion that it's more difficult?"
Baiyunshan thought for a moment and discovered the key point.
moon!
Yes, when I first met a ghost in the classroom, the moonlight suddenly became very bright after the ghost appeared, so the ghost's restrictions were also very great, so much so that Baiyunshan could open the window directly as long as he didn't look into his eyes. It didn't matter if I pulled it open, but the ghost fell in instead. Then the ghost faces encountered in the corridor were fine without responding or even looking at them under the bright moonlight. Even if Baiyun Mountain was frantically testing on the edge of death, there was no accident, which shows the influence of the moonlight.
In the traditional concept, the moonlight at night usually has a beneficial effect on the existence of ghosts and monsters, so that Baiyun Mountain subconsciously thought that the bright moonlight strengthened the power of these ghosts and monsters, and ignored the changes. The moonlight did not strengthen them, but instead restricted their abilities and even activities, preventing them from doing whatever they wanted.
And the reason why this level seems to be more difficult is also in the moon. There is a section between the two steps of the stairs that is obviously not illuminated by the moonlight, and the ghost is hiding there. If you want to go upstairs, this section of the journey will definitely be the most dangerous place, even if you don't step on bloody footprints. in this way! And this is the trap!
After clearing up his doubts, Baiyun Mountain suddenly became enlightened. He narrowed his eyes and came up with a countermeasure.
He did not commit suicide to see how effective the flashlight's light was on the ghost on the stairs. Instead, he asked Takayama Kazumi to wait on the second floor. He quickly disassembled the flashlight, took off the glass lens, and held it in his hand. Then he walked up the stairs to the third floor step by step.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
Crisp footsteps lingered in the stairwell. The steps on each floor were not very high. One or two floors together could not reach Baiyun Mountain's knees. But despite this, Baiyunshan took every step carefully, because while walking, he also needed to pay attention to the movements of the ghost on the two flights of stairs. If something went wrong, he would immediately jump back into the moonlight.
Fortunately, Baiyunshan's guess seemed to be right. The ghost didn't move even after walking several steps. Finally, he came to the moonless section of the road.
Baiyunshan took a deep breath, and he slowly stretched his right foot into the darkness and made a test.
As expected, before Baiyunshan's feet landed on the steps, the ghost figure on top had already moved and pounced like a mad dog. If Baiyunshan hadn't retracted his feet quickly enough, he might have stayed behind. Got a leg there.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, dude, you look really curious. I've seen an owl face backwards, but I've never seen someone turn their head 180 degrees! Are you doing acrobatics? Baiyunshan still leisurely commented on the appearance of the ghost in front of him, and marveled: "Your appearance reminds me of a ghost story from childhood, but I didn't expect that you didn't walk backwards. I thought I really have to go upstairs backwards!"
It's no wonder that Baiyunshan has the leisure to comment on the appearance of the ghost in front of him. This ghost is wearing a student uniform of shirt and trousers. His head is turned a hundred and eighty degrees, with his chin on the top and his hair hanging down, but he still looks like a ghost. It's not strange that ordinary people walk the same way. It is worth noting that although there is hair covering it, fortunately this ghost... Well, let's call him Brother Acrobatic for the time being. Fortunately, Brother Acrobatic was a male before his death. His hair was not very long, and a wound can still be seen. His throat was slit, and the bright red and smelly blood stained his white shirt red and black.
But now that the acrobatic brother has been attracted, Baiyun Mountain's goal has been half achieved.
I saw him put away his smile, his eyes became serious, and he placed the glass lens in the moonlight with his right hand, which reflected a weak foothold in the darkness. Then he stretched out his right leg again and landed steadily there.
But this time, the acrobatic brother made no move.
"Sure enough, without the blessing of the moonlight, as soon as I step into the darkness, this guy will eagerly open it as if it were a Christmas gift." Baiyunshan complained faintly in his heart, then adjusted his posture slightly, and then stood alone The feet are independent, like a ballet dancer, turning in an extremely slow circle.
Of course, he had no intention of dancing ballet. He faced the acrobatic brother with his vital parts like this. In addition to believing that the moonlight made it impossible to attack him except for touching the bloody footprints, there was another point. He wanted to go up.
Yes, it is possible to use glass lenses to reflect a foothold, but Baiyunshan's hands have limits. It is impossible for him to reflect a foothold after going deep. So the only way is to stand on this foothold first, and then use this foothold to jump directly over the dark steps and grab the moonlight above to climb up.
This may be a bit difficult for ordinary people. Even people with amazing jumping ability will find it difficult to jump to a height that can grasp the ladder above when one foot is independent. But fortunately, Baiyunshan exchanged the devil's training method a few days ago to treat insomnia. For him who has twice the physical fitness of ordinary people, this height may be a bit challenging, but it is not difficult to complete.
"But how do you describe this feeling? Tsk... It's just like playing Super Mario. I jumped directly and stepped on the flag from the starting point. This violent way of clearing the level is really wonderful." Baiyunshan said silently He complained to himself, then took a deep breath, poured strength into his legs, and exerted force.
"Snapped!"
The moment he grabbed the upper step with his left hand, the faint moonlight reflected by the glass lens of his right hand was blocked and disappeared as the position of Baiyun Mountain rose. The acrobatic brother seemed to finally have the energy to pounce at this moment, but maybe It was because I was facing down that I couldn't see very clearly, so I ended up being a second or two slower.
In this second or two, Baiyun Mountain's entire body had climbed to the top.
"Huh! It's done!" Baiyunshan let out a long breath, then turned and left without even looking at the acrobatic brother who was still there in a daze.
Next, he was going to get the tape that he had put in himself during the day.
