I played the devil's game with Yang Shou, and I got into the soul with one shot!

Su Yi looked around.

It was pitch black all around, like an endless void.

The occasional flashes of light of various colors, like mysterious stars, appear and disappear in the darkness.

These light spots emit a faint glow, illuminating a small area around them.

The walls of the passage are made of an unknown metal material, emitting a cold luster.

The walls are engraved with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, some of which look like ancient texts, while others look like mysterious totems.

The ground was paved with a black metal grid. Walking on it, Su Yi could feel slight vibrations and a strange energy fluctuation.

From time to time, a faint light flickered in the gaps of the grid.

There was a light mist in the passage, blurring people's vision.

Various pipes and lines were hung on the top of the passage, which were intricate and tangled like a giant spider web. From time to time, low roars and strange energy fluctuations could be heard from the pipes, which made people shudder.

Faint sparks flashed on the wires, as if warning them not to get close.

Everyone stood still, listening attentively and observing the movements around them.

Su Yi looked back and found that the iron gate had disappeared, replaced by a passage that was the same as the one in front of him.

In other words, after they entered the door, it was as if they had entered a teleportation point.

Teleported to this place.

Although the entrance to this place is in the northwest corner of Jiangcheng, whether it is still there now is another matter.

"Let's leave here first. If someone comes in later, it will be troublesome if we run into them." Su Yi said immediately after observation.

"Let's go." Tang Hu also nodded in response.

Everyone walked carefully on the metal grid, making slight thumping sounds.

"There's a corner there." Xia Shi pointed to the corner ahead.

"Go hide first." Tang Hu also made an immediate decision.

Su Yi continued to look around. There were a lot of metal frames piled up in the corner where Xia Shi was. They could hide inside to avoid being discovered.

After everyone hid inside, Tang Hu said, "It looks like they didn't find us..."

"How did you do that just now?" Qian Tao couldn't help but look at Su Yi. He was very curious about everything at the moment. His heart was pounding, but it was very fresh.

It was as if I was back in my youth, when I was a police detective and the excitement of exploring the enemy's lair was just like it is now.

Xia Shi and others were also looking at Su Yi.

"What did you mean when you said the five elements have shapes?" Tang Hu knew that Su Yi must have guessed their "code" based on this.

"Literally." Su Yi said.

"Since ancient times, the five elements have really had shapes."

"Gold is round in shape, and among ancient metal products, round objects account for a large proportion, such as metal tripods and mirrors."

"Wood is rectangular. The logs made from felled trees are rectangular when viewed from the side. The ridges of the fields planted with plants are also rectangular."

“Water is curved. The waves in the water and the ripples on the surface of the water are all curved.”

"Fire is a triangle. When the flame burns, it is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, forming a triangle."

"Earth is square, mountains and rocks are square, houses are square, these are all images of earth."

“So, metal is a circle, water is a curve, wood is a rectangle, fire is a triangle, and earth is a square.”

Is this really what it means literally?

Tang Hu and others were stunned.

Xia Shi seemed to recall that ever since she had worked on a case with Teacher Su, she also realized the importance of all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge, especially when facing cases involving supernatural powers.

So she has read a lot of books in recent years.

After Su Yi reminded her, she remembered.

"Metal represents change, hardness and flexibility. The circle represents curves and flexibility, but at the same time, the circle is the structure with the best ability to withstand pressure, which represents rigidity."

"Wood represents growth, and the rectangle emphasizes length. Length means a long history, which means growth. The square in the rectangle represents the growth of area, and the change from small to large is growth."

“Water is gentle and subtle, and the curve shape is a good example of the gentleness of water.”

“Fire represents flaming and change, and the three sharp corners of the triangle highlight the power of rushing outward and changing.”

"Earth is for carrying and storing things. The square shape is upright, stable and has a large area. It can stably hold more things, which is in line with the characteristics of earth."

"Well, the shape you described is indeed their real shape."

Su Yi looked at Xia Shi in surprise. He knew that was because he grew up in a bookstore and was interested in all this miscellaneous knowledge. Later, he became a novelist.

But Xia Shi knew all this, which surprised him.

"Yes, in addition to some strange symbols on those iron doors, there are also triangles, circles, squares, rectangles... and even waves."

"Then based on the five elements suicide case, my guess is that it was touching the pattern in the shape of the five elements." Su Yi continued.

"And the order of the patterns is the order of the first round of five-element suicides!" Xia Shi continued, looking at Su Yi deeply.

"The order of the first round must be correct. As for why there is a second round, maybe there was some mistake." Xia Shi analyzed with a frown.

"Yeah...I thought so too." Su Yi nodded.

"So, you touched these patterns in the order of water, wood, metal, fire and earth... and the door opened?" Qian Tao said in disbelief.

"Ah."

Su Yi responded indifferently, but this simple word was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the hearts of everyone present.

From the beginning to now, his analysis, judgment and grasp of clues have no direct connection with his supernatural powers.

On the contrary, he relied on his personal abilities to solve the mystery step by step and obtain new clues.

The knowledge reserves now on display are also amazing, like an endless treasure house from which useful information can be extracted at any time.

At the same time, his thinking is quick as lightning and he can make accurate judgments in an instant.

His keen insight is even more admirable, and no detail escapes his eyes.

These qualities enable him to handle complex situations with ease, finding the key from seemingly disorganized clues and revealing the truth behind them through in-depth digging and analysis.

These outstanding personal abilities can make him the focus of everyone's attention in an instant.

Qian Tao knew very well how popular such people were in the police force.

He has only seen two people from the past to now.

One of them is Su Yi in front of him.

The other person was the youngest criminal police captain ever, someone he had always admired.

Su Yimeng.

It's just that he had died gloriously in a case of suppressing the Heavenly Father Cult...
