Chapter 132 The Love and Career of the Beautiful Ghost Hunter 48
Although the patterns on the stone gate were somewhat blurry, their general outlines could still be discerned upon close inspection.
It was a group of people dressed in strange clothes, heading towards an underground entrance.
They filed in, their expressions ranging from nervous to excited.
Once underground, there is a long and dark passageway with some strange symbols on the walls.
Continuing along the path, they came to a place filled with crisscrossing silk threads.
Those threads shimmered with an eerie light; they must be the Thousand Threads Formation that everyone just dodged.
Looking further ahead, the people in the picture had just passed through the intricate array of threads when they were met with a hail of arrows raining down from the sky.
They frantically dodged, and some were unfortunately hit by shots.
The scene is so lifelike that you can almost hear the whistling of arrows cutting through the air.
Having barely dodged the arrows, a massive swarm of insects of all shapes and sizes surged towards them.
Those insects were menacing and terrifying.
As everyone watched intently, Jun Li Que frowned slightly and pointed to the patterns on the stone gate, saying:
"But the group of people in this picture also collapsed after reaching the pool."
The people in the picture, after experiencing many hardships, arrived at a pool of water.
Before they could even make a move, they all collapsed as if all their strength had been drained.
Beneath the calm surface of that pool, a deadly danger seemed to lurk.
Yun Suisi frowned, his gaze fixed on the patterns on the stone gate, and slowly spoke:
"This should be our route after we enter the underground."
You see, the number of people who initially entered the underground area gradually decreased, which undoubtedly indicates that the journey was fraught with danger and that more and more people died.
At each checkpoint we pass, someone is left there forever. This is not a good omen for us.
His gaze grew increasingly solemn, and an ominous premonition welled up within him.
Li Qinglan also said with a hint of worry, "That's right, we need to speed things up."
Jun Li Que's expression also turned serious. He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:
"According to this diagram, we weren't just asleep, we were unconscious."
Yun Rancang looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What evidence do you have? You can't just say it without any proof."
Jun Li Que looked at everyone, then squatted down, traced a line on the ground with his finger, and said:
"Think about it carefully, when we were killing those insects, we inevitably got their slime on us."
This viscous substance has special properties; when its odor mixes with the water vapor emanating from the pool, it produces a colorless and odorless gas.
We fell into a coma after unknowingly inhaling this gas.
I just noticed that the slime residue is still on my clothes.
Yun Rancang suddenly realized, blinked, and followed Jun Lique's train of thought, saying:
"You mean, the reason we were able to wake up was because my brother accidentally dragged us all away from the vicinity of the pool, which reduced the effects of the gas and allowed us to gradually regain consciousness?"
Jun Li Que nodded firmly:
"Yes, that should be it."
If we had stayed by the pool, we probably would have remained unconscious until…
He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.
Yun Suisi frowned slightly, his expression grave: "It seems that there are deadly traps everywhere underground. We must be even more careful."
Jun Sui nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't act rashly anymore."
The patterns on this stone gate might contain other information; we should take a closer look.
Everyone turned their attention back to the stone gate, trying to find more clues from the blurry images.
After a while, Yun Rancang rubbed his sore eyes and said with some annoyance:
"That's all, there's really nothing to see behind it."
The pattern is like a tangled mess; the more you look at it, the more confusing it becomes.
Yun Suisi seemed not to hear her words, muttering to himself:
"Can't you tell? Can't you tell..."
His gaze was fixed on the stone door, as if he wanted to see right through it.
Yun Ran Cang stamped her feet in frustration and raised her voice:
"My eyes are going to go blind from looking at this, I really can't see it!"
It felt like groping in the dark, but finding nothing.
Yun Suisi suddenly seemed to have realized something crucial, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes:
"That's exactly why we can't see it. If a trap were so easily detected, it wouldn't be a meticulously planned killing spree."
Everyone looked bewildered, their faces full of confusion, not understanding the deeper meaning behind Yun Suisi's words.
However, Jun Sui was quick-witted and instantly understood Yun Suisi's meaning.
He looked firmly at Jun Li Que and Brother Luan, and said loudly:
"Jun Li Que and Brother Luan, you two push this stone door open with your hands."
Although the crowd did not understand, they still did as Jun Sui instructed.
Jun Li Que and Brother Luan walked to either side of the stone gate, placed their hands on the stone gate, and pushed it open with force.
Their muscles were taut, and veins bulged on their foreheads.
As the stone door creaked open, a mysterious aura wafted out.
Li Qinglan looked bewildered, scratched her head, and looked at Yun Suisi with a puzzled expression, asking:
"Why is that? Why do you say it's right if you can't see it? And why push open this stone door?"
I really can't understand the reasoning behind this.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the stone door that had just been pushed open and exuded a mysterious aura, trying to find the answer within the darkness.
Yun Suisi slightly raised his head, shifting his gaze from the stone gate to the crowd, and slowly explained:
"This is a cleverly designed mental trap."
From the moment we stepped into this underground world, we faced countless hardships and dangers, each step feeling like a battle against death.
Various dangers kept emerging, consuming a lot of our energy and physical strength.
When we finally arrive at this stone door, we subconsciously assume that opening it requires a specific key or a complex mechanism.
No one would easily think of pushing it directly with their hands.
He paused, his gaze deepening, and continued:
"And these patterns on the stone gate only reinforced our misconception."
They are like bait, guiding us to constantly interpret them, trying to find hidden clues, to piece together complete information, and to find a way to open the door.
Our attention was completely drawn to these patterns, and we fell entirely into this vortex of habitual thinking.
Yun Suisi took a few steps forward, approaching the stone gate. He gently traced the patterns on the gate with his finger and then said:
"Moreover, this picture carries a symbolic meaning."
As you can see, the number of people in the pattern decreases as they move forward, symbolizing the ever-present threat of death.
After experiencing so many dangers, we not only fell into a coma when we arrived here, but even after waking up, our bodies were in a state of extreme weakness.
Under these circumstances, how could we possibly have the strength to open this door, according to normal thinking?
This is actually a form of psychological suggestion, making us feel from the bottom of our hearts that we are incapable of opening the stone door, thereby destroying our psychological defenses.
If we continue to be swayed by these suggestions, we will never be able to escape this place; we will only be trapped here and die.
Upon hearing her brother's words, Yun Rancang's pretty face turned pale.
She instinctively hugged her arms and shivered.
A flicker of lingering fear flashed in her bright, large eyes, and she said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Thank goodness, our team seems to be blessed by the heavens. Everyone is like a cheat code, making them unpredictable."
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been trapped in this elaborate conspiracy and never escaped.
