Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

"Who are you?" Chen Ze didn't turn around, but his voice seemed to be attacking the weirdo from all directions.

The weirdo paused and looked around, then continued forward.

rustling --

Weeds fell in patches.

But suddenly he stopped, and his eyes hidden under his sunglasses gradually widened.

Why is this person so far away?

After hesitating for a while, the weirdo quickened his pace and moved forward again.

One step, two steps, three steps.
He deliberately lowered his head and counted his steps. He gradually calmed down and raised his head again.

"His-"

The weirdo took a breath, because he was horrified to find that he had already walked ten or twenty steps, but that person was still a long distance away from him!

Looking down, the weirdo estimated that the distance between the two was less than 20 meters.

Deng Deng Deng!
He suddenly started running away!
One meter, five meters, ten meters.
Deng.

There was clearly no obstacle ahead, but the weirdo suddenly stopped stiffly.

Because he found that the distance between himself and the figure did not shorten at all. Even while running, the distance never changed!
How can this be? !
The weirdo's breathing began to intensify, and his palms clenched together involuntarily.

He simply threw away the drone and the remote control in his hand, staring down at his striding steps.

The weeds fell, the ground receded, and there was no doubt that it was moving forward rapidly.

But when he raised his head again
That figure is actually still 20 meters away!
This is impossible!

The weirdo took a step back in shock. There was something hard at his feet. When he lowered his head, he realized that it was the drone he had just thrown away.

Could it be that from the beginning to the end, he never moved even half a step from the same place?

A chill came from the bottom of his heart. The weirdo didn't believe in evil and began to run forward desperately.

Run with eyes closed, walk fast, crouch, run sideways, roll, jump, backward, zombie jump
The weirdo tried countless positions and methods.

But no matter what, he couldn't get even half a step closer to that figure until his legs were almost cramped.

Like an elusive fantasy.

He started to get scared.

Turning around and looking around, it was hard to hear even the chirping of cicadas and birds nearby.

The night had completely fallen, and it was horrifyingly dark around me.

The weirdo swallowed as if waking up from a dream, and began to turn around to escape from this place.

But an even weirder scene almost made him collapse.

Because he found that even if he turned around and ran away, he would never be able to move even half a step away from where he was, or even change his direction.

No matter how hard he tried, as soon as he stopped, he would always see the figure in front of him, as if melting into the night, sitting at the door of the villa.

There is no escape.

The weirdo's legs were shaking from exhaustion, and he knelt down in despair, staring blankly at the back.

"Who are you?" The voice heard before sounded again.

"My name is Wu Jiagui." The weirdo finally answered, but his voice was a bit unpleasant.

It's not just plain ugly, it's the kind of hurt that sounds bad.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Ze continued to ask.

"I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the person who moved Wang Bing's ashes."

"why?"

"." Wu Jiagui said after a brief silence,

"Can I start with a story?"

"Long story short."

"There used to be a rumor in our countryside that if a woman couldn't give birth to a child, she could go to a place in the mountains on the night of the third day of September, prepare tributes, and light a candle."

"If you are lucky and blessed by the God of Fortune, you will be able to give birth to a child next year, but this child will have no face."

Wu Jiagui stopped talking when he said this.

"So?" Chen Ze turned his back to Wu Jiagui and frowned, feeling a little bit that this person was being mysterious.

"This rumor is true." Wu Jiagui slowly reached out and took off his peaked cap, revealing the messy weed-like hair underneath.

"because."

After the slight movement, Wu Jiagui took off his sunglasses and mask.
"That's how I was born."

Underneath the layers of protection was an ugly and terrifying face, like a ball of burned wax paste that was then air-dried, making it almost impossible to tell what was what.

"So." Chen Ze gradually became more interested,
"Are you burned?"

Wu Jiagui's scar extended all the way to the top of his head, and he could hardly grow any hair. Hearing this, he was stunned.

"You can see it?!"

He was originally surprised at why the other party was not surprised, but suddenly he thought that this person never turned his head or even made any other movements from the beginning to the end.

"Yes." Chen Ze said concisely and to the point.

"What do you say have to do with Wang Bing?"

"Wang Bing. Ha." Wu Jiagui sneered, as if he thought of something and was distracted.

"Wang Bing, he should have come this way."

"Because...he has no face either."

Chen Ze thought of Wang Bing's sequelae of leprosy, which completely disfigured his face.

"My mother died a long time ago." Without any prompting, Wu Jiagui began to ramble.
"She didn't have time to tell me who my father was."

"Later, I kept investigating and finally found other people like me who had no face."

"Some of them are kept in the dark and don't know anything, and some of them are just one of them!"

"Who are they?" Chen Ze grasped the key words.

"A group of people, an organization, a group of people hiding!" Wu Jiagui's tone became excited,
"I have been investigating for almost 20 years! It turns out that there is such a group of people. I don't know what their purpose is, but I know that they are the source of us faceless people!"

"Maybe. Our father is among them!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Ze followed Wu Jiagui's words and said,

"Are those people the ones who impregnated women they didn't know, gave birth to the children, and then ruined their appearance?"

"That's right!" Wu Jiagui gritted his teeth.

"Because we are garbage! We are garbage that was swept out, so we don't know anything!"

"But Wang Bing is different. Although he has no face, he is one of those people!"

"I found out that he was the eyes and ears of that group of people outside. I found him and asked him to lead me to find those people."

"But he didn't want to." Wu Jiagui's tone gradually became frightening.

"I followed him and found that he always came here and didn't know what he was doing."

"Later I got anxious and he found me when I was close, so I had no choice but to knock him out with a hammer and drag him to my house and lock him up."

"In the end, he still didn't tell me what was hidden here and where those people were hiding."

"Even if I pull out his teeth, break off his nails, or cut off his hands, he won't do it."

Wu Jiagui's already terrifying face became even more distorted, and he recounted the horrific torture process in a low tone.

"In the end I had no choice but to break him into pieces!" Wu Jiagui's breathing became rapid. It turned out that he was ventilating through a large hole on the left side of his face.

"After it was burned to ashes, I kept his gold teeth and let people look at his urn, because I knew someone would come looking for him."

Wu Jiagui's bloodshot eyes quietly moved up, staring at Chen Ze's back.But it turned out to be empty.

"Are you looking for me?" That familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side of his ears, scaring the Wu family so much that they had goosebumps all over their bodies.

【Experience value +500】.
Wu Jiagui leaned aside nervously, turned his head with his hands on his hands, and looked at Chen Ze who had come to him at some point.

"you!"

"You are indeed one of theirs too!" Wu Jiagui jumped up in fear and pointed at Chen Ze, his tone trembling.

"Is it because of this?" Chen Ze, who was still sitting upright, reached out and took off the makeshift clay mask, revealing his true appearance.

"No! You have the face!" Wu Jiagui became even more excited and came closer to stare at Chen Ze carefully.

"I have a face." Chen Ze gestured to the mask in his hand, and then pointed it at himself.

"Huh..." Wu Jiagui took a deep breath, but his tone could not conceal his disappointment.

"Their people have no face."

"It seems you are not one of theirs, so who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Chen Ze looked up at Wu Jiagui,

"The important thing is that we have the same goal."

"I also want to find the organization behind Wang Bing."

After hearing this, Wu Jiagui looked at Chen Ze for a long time, then stretched out his hand to touch his waist.
"Since you also want to... huh?"

"Are you looking for this?" Chen Ze spread his hands, and a lot of guys fell onto the grass.

Ignoring the gleaming murder weapons, one of the bulging bags particularly caught his attention.

When I opened it, I saw that there were many plastic bags inside. After peeling off the layers, I saw several golden baubles inside.

Big gold teeth.

The kind of big gold tooth with the word "王" engraved on the back.

"These are the people you killed?" Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Jiagui.

Wu Jiagui was already numb.

He has never had the experience of being completely under the control of others and being controlled by his every move.

Not even a trace of resistance can arise
"Yes." Wu Jiagui admitted.

"The mark of their group is this kind of gold tooth, which everyone has in their mouth."

"Then have they recruited anyone?" Chen Ze seemed to be chatting with him.

"They only said it was impossible." Wu Jiagui shook his head but suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at Chen Ze,
"No!"

"If, if you have the ability, you are capable enough."

"Maybe you can try it!"

"You can find where they're hiding!"

"Ability?" Chen Ze smiled,
"Then you're lucky to have found the right person."

10 minute later.

Upstairs in the villa, in the mezzanine of the thick wall that Chen Ze casually smashed open.

"What the hell are these?" Chen Ze kicked away the electric round bed in front of him and looked at Wu Jiagui with suspicion.

"It shouldn't be here." Wu Jiagui was also a little embarrassed and quickly threw away the family planning supplies in his hand.

The decoration here is ambiguous and the equipment is complete. It is obviously a hidden place used to provide some kind of special services.

After leaving the mezzanine, Wu Jiagui smiled flatteringly and tried to smooth things over for himself.
"I was wrong."

"But the man said it was the only way to find the entrance to the home."

"Look, it's this picture, with annotations next to it." Wu Jiagui turned on the phone.

Chen Ze stretched out his hand and took Wu Jiagui's mobile phone into his hand.
"this one?"

What was displayed on the screen was a photo, the content of which was only a simple hand-drawn nine-square grid, with different words filled in each grid.

The contents of the squares in the first row and column are "He, Rui, Renji, Jing, Gui".

The second grid is "Tiger, Pillar, Ding, Kai, Wu".

The third grid is
Chen Ze recognized at a glance that this was exactly the spell pattern in Qimen Dunjia.

Because it was also about metaphysics, Chen Ze also dabbled in it when reading the Taoist canon, and immediately started to study it carefully.

Next to him, Wu Jiagui was explaining at the bar.

"They're such tough talkers! Only one person told me this."

"He said there was a way to get into the house."

"By the way, they all call that place 'home', it should be their base camp!"

"I don't have any culture and I can't understand this kind of thing."

"But I found a lot of Taoist priests, and they turned out to be even more deceitful! They said anything!"

"Some said they were looking for lost money, some told me fortunes, but few understood it!"

"Bah! A bunch of dead liars!"

"I have no choice but to kill Wang Bing, the one who opened the shop most conspicuously. I hope someone can come to him. That's what I'll call him."

"Oh! Wait and wait!"

"Lead the snake out of its hole!"

"In the end, I didn't wait for their people, but I waited for you, the master!"

"Exalted Master, what do you mean by this picture?"

"Stop making noise!" Chen Ze scolded irritably, and at the same time smashed the phone back.

Wu Jiagui quickly caught the phone and was about to speak when he realized that a nine-square grid enlarged several times had been carved on the floor in front of Chen Ze.

He quickly calmed down and did not dare to disturb.

As soon as the chatterbox stopped talking, the surrounding area became quiet, but Chen Ze became more and more confused.

There's something wrong. Chen Ze found that his limited metaphysical knowledge was difficult to cope with this pattern.

It stands to reason that Qimen Dunjia usually starts with time, which is determined based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
Chen Ze's head suddenly tilted, and his eyes slanted as well.

Then his footsteps started to move, taking small steps, walking clockwise along the pattern, and stopped after half a circle.

If you look at it upside down
The first cell in the upper left corner should be "Heaven, Ren, Bing, Shang, Xin", and so on.

This is obviously a front-end situation. The Sun Stem falls in the Li Palace, and the Hour Stem falls in the Dui Palace. The Li Palace belongs to Fire, and the Dui Palace belongs to Metal, and Fire overcomes Metal.
Chen Ze's mind suddenly became clear, and the entire pattern was constantly being calculated in his mind, outlining the hidden information.

It turns out you have to look at it upside down!

Cheating!
Chen Ze immediately turned his head and gave the unreliable Wu Jiagui a sharp look, making the latter's legs sway and take several steps back.

"Master Gao?" Wu Jiagui said in a trembling voice, but Chen Ze had no time to pay attention.

At this time, he closed his eyes, and the expanded consciousness swept in all directions like a tsunami, almost encompassing the entire palace.

At the same time, the reversed correct pattern was constantly being dismantled and evolved in my mind.

Only then did Chen Ze notice that there were exactly nine large villas in the entire palace!

The nine villas correspond to the nine palaces!

Sa—

A rapid sound broke through the air, and Chen Ze's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Wu Jiagui, who had been paying close attention by the side, didn't know what was going on. When he was about to poke his head in, he was frightened by a loud noise and ran away.

rumble rumble rumble-

Wu Jiagui cowered and hid in the corner to look around, only to see that there was a big hole in the ceiling, and a large amount of gravel and mud powder were falling down! (End of chapter)
