Higher Human Advancement Regulations

"The wall—the wall is moving—" Zhuang Han was leaning against the wall to observe the skull in the pit, but suddenly felt a strange creeping sound coming from behind.

She was taken aback by the weird creeping sensation, and when she turned her head, she met a blank face.

This face was embedded in the wall, but protruded abruptly, as if a person was made into a mold and embedded in the wall.

It has no life, and its facial features don't look as vivid as a real person's. Zhuang Han felt a chill on his back when he was stared at by the empty eyes on his face.

However, there is more than one face in the entire space. There are arc-shaped walls, ceilings that are within reach, and even the ground not far away.

Nie Zheng couldn't help swallowing, and said:

"What the hell are these..."

At a glance, countless human faces are seamlessly laid down, and the densely packed facial features form uneven walls.

Shengkai remembered that when he just entered the passage, he accidentally touched the wall when he opened the door, and suddenly felt a chill.

And the creeping continues.

Each of these weird faces is different, but at this moment, they are struggling together to the outside of the wall in unison.

It seems that they have been sealed in this space for too long, and once they encounter an intruder, they will try their best to find a scapegoat.

Blossom drew out the scimitar and said:

"These things are weird, you have relied on..."

Before he could finish his sentence, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a face in the corner burst into a burst of red light.

Mu Li was the closest to it, and was the first to be engulfed by the red light.

A pair of rough hands stretched out from the wall, choking Mu Li's throat with one palm, he was caught off guard, and his whole body was thrown to the wall by this force, making a dull impact sound.

The light of the saber flashed by, Shao Ziyu raised the saber decisively and slashed. After the hand protruding from the wall was cut off by the saber, it retracted convulsively.

Then I saw that the wrist that had been cut off horizontally was like a vine, rushing towards Shao Ziyu more and more frantically.

I don't know what the nails of these severed hands were made of, but after they collided with Shao Ziyu's blade, they let out a sharp cry, and everyone present was stung by the sound and covered their ears.

Shao Ziyu failed in one blow, and was about to raise his saber to attack again, when he heard someone from afar and said in a deep voice:

"Zi Yu!

Take the knife! "

It turns out that the arms that grew out of nowhere on the wall are really like the evil vines in Western mythology, using the cold light of the sharp blade as the horn of his savage growth - the more it is injured, the faster it will grow.

Shao Ziyu turned over and landed on the ground, but one hand fell on his shoulder without a sound, and then tightened suddenly—the black nails cut through his clothes, penetrated into his flesh and blood, and the bright red blood splattered instantly. out.

Seeing this, Mu Li struggled in vain, but he was still trapped on the wall and couldn't move. The force in his throat squeezed the air out of his lungs, and gradually, a gap appeared on his face. Oxygenated purple.

Shengkai and Wen Renxiao were also forced by these demon-like arms, unable to move forward even if they had the power to protect themselves.

On the contrary, Nie Zheng and Zhuang Han were closest to the skull pits on the ground from the very beginning, and for some reason, the monsters on the wall did not want to provoke the crumbling bones.

In an instant, Yan Sichao became the best candidate for rescue.

Wen Renxiao didn't need to greet him, relying on his petite stature, he walked nimbly between several pairs of arms.

After walking to Mu Li's side, Yan Sichao grabbed the arm that was trapping Mu Li, and raised his elbow slightly, only to hear the sound of bones breaking, and those arms hang down feebly.

Seeing that Mu Li was rescued, Sheng Kai turned around and kicked the hand that was climbing Wen Renxiao's back, panting slightly:

"The front road is blocked by the sky, and the back road is closed by myself. There are only two possible exits..."

Wen Renxiao calmly continued:

"Up and down."

Shengkai smiled briefly, and looked back at Wen Renxiao hastily, the two nodded tacitly amidst the background sound of the group of demons dancing, and then quickly separated.

Wen Renxiao knelt on one knee, leaned back to avoid the attack from the top of his head, and then lowered his body to search the floor intently; while Shengkai also turned his head to avoid a hand and looked to the top of the space.

The faces composed of faces are stitched together to form a complete dome and ground, and the faces on the left and right sides of the passage are blooming during the fight, and they are all the same.

Shengkai is sure that the expression on the face at the exit will be different from the other ones in this secret room that is blocked from front to back into a dead end.

The two raced against time to search for the exit, but there were too many arms in the secret room, which not only interfered with their vision infinitely, but also dragged time invisible.

It seems that in the darkness, there is something more powerful that is watching.

However, Mu Li suddenly said:

"Brother Kai!

Find……

cough……

A sixth or ninth brick in a different direction! "

He hurt his throat, and even his voice was hoarse, but his tone was extremely firm.

Sheng Kai slashed off the arm that was stretched out in front of him, and without hesitation for a second, he took out a long knife still in its sheath from the end of his wrist, and knocked out the numbers one by one.

Wen Renxiao was on the ground and received more disturbances. In the chaos, he suddenly felt that the bones in the pit were shaking slowly, and there were faint signs of jumping out.

After finding the bricks that match the numbers, he said coldly:

"Xiao Mu, that's not right."

Mu Li was very determined at first, but when he heard the words, he looked up at Blooming, and seeing that the latter was also frowning but seeing nothing, the blood on his face faded completely:

"Why not?  …

The ancients believed in Liuhe and Jiugong[Note]...

The numbers six and nine have extraordinary meaning to them...

Could it be that all single digits have six or nine bricks? "

"Not six and nine."

Zhuang Han said:

"It is three, 'originated in the sky, eaten in the earth, and listed in the ghosts and gods' is in line with the saying of the ancient earth people's 'three talents' [note]."

Sheng Kai and Wen Renxiao turned around again and searched quickly, their eyes turned quickly.

There is a clear boundary between the ceiling, the wall and the ground in the space, and if you want to count the bricks, it is either from left to right or from right to left.

That is, they had a one-in-four chance of guessing right.

"it's here."

The sound of blooming is stagnant, but still steady.

Above his head where he was standing, there was an expression on a brick that was only slightly different from the others—different from the other smiling faces, the sadness on this face was vivid and striking, as if looking at it for a while, it would Weep with it.

Sheng Kai pressed the long knife to the brick with a blank face.

For a long time, there was no other sound in the space except for the sounds of arms scratching and colliding.

wrong again?

Bloom frowned.

But soon, Wen Renxiao's voice sounded again:

"I have one here too."

The two looked at each other again in the dark, regardless of whether the other party could see or not, after a while, they heard Wen Renxiao counting down:

"Three, two, one——" As soon as the word "one" fell, the two pressed down on the crying face brick at the same time.

With a "boom", the dome above everyone's heads opened slowly like the lid of a box.

The moonlight spilled over the ground in an instant.

The vibrating sound seemed to intensify the mania of the monster in the space. Wen Renxiao was caught off guard, and was bitten by the neck by a piece of skull that hadn't completely decayed.

The crowd originally supported each other and wanted to climb out through the sliding dome, but because of this accident, they stopped at the same place for a while at a loss.

While running towards Wen Renxiao, Shengkai quickly said:

"You go first, we will be there in a while."

There are still countless thorn-like arms blocking the way, blooming eyes are heavy, and the eyes that are always full of smiles look as cold as ice against the moonlight.

He stepped on many bricks with smiling faces engraved on them, just like Wen Renxiao has traveled through thousands of years and seen thousands of stars in the universe, without squinting, alone and without hesitation.

He finally came to his side.

The skull was blown away by the handle of the knife and landed on the wall full of smiling faces, breaking into pieces.

When the two of them clasped their hands, Shengkai suddenly smiled.

Wen Renxiao's eyes froze, and before he could react in his mind, he felt a huge force coming from the other party, pushing him back a few meters.

He turned his head hastily, and saw another vine-like arm tightly wrapped around Blooming's ankle, and then quickly dragged into the darkness.

The space suddenly fell silent, and Wen Renxiao lowered his eyes, looking at the half-open dome that slid to the floor.

The exit is close at hand...

Shengkai was dragged by his arms, bumped into countless things along the way, and finally at a certain corner, hit a sharp stone on his forehead and passed out.

So after waking up, when Shengkai saw the darkness in front of her eyes, she thought she had damaged her optic nerve.

Until a faint light slowly lit up in front of his eyes.

Shengkai squinted, and saw the silhouette of this person under the halo of yellow—it was a man.

He slowly stretched his hand behind his back, and took out the scimitar Wen Renxiao gave him from the terminal.

"who are you?"

The man didn't speak, but was still slowly approaching Blooming.

Sheng Kai sank [body, the scimitar in his hand quickly changed direction, and the tip of the knife was even stained with the strange juice left over from cutting his arm just now], waiting for the man to approach, and then killed him with one blow—"Hello, meet again."

said the man.

Bloom was taken aback for a moment, and his pupils shrank suddenly:

"Andrew?"

The man in front of him was clearly the NPC who finally sent them out in the last secret room!

Andrew played Nie Zheng, Yan Sichao, and even Blossom himself in the secret room, but at the last moment, this person's face changed back to his own.

But now, Andrew was facing this familiar face, with a yellow halo hitting the side of his face, and every expression on Andrew's face could be clearly seen from the angle of blooming.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly approached a certain distance, and stopped in front of Blooming:

"how?

You don't seem too happy to see me again? "

Shengkai looked back at the past expressionlessly, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

He had never heard of the precedent that secret rooms could be connected to each other before, and even Mu Li, a loyal follower of Tianmu, had never mentioned this situation.

So, now there are two situations:

First, what kind of moth came out of Tianmu to harm them; second, Andrew came here without telling Tianmu.

Regarding the former, Shengkai has reservations. If the rules are so easy to change, Tianmu will probably be able to locate the people who want to destroy it, for example...

Wen Renxiao.

Then, the most likely thing is that Andrew came to this secret room privately.

If it is the latter, Tianmu will never allow it.

Shenghua smiled lightly, but there was not much smile in his eyes:

"You saved me, thank you."

Andrew was taken a step ahead, his face was not very good-looking, but the smile was still falsely hanging on his lips:

"you are welcome."

After the words were finished, there was an eerie silence between the two of them.

After waiting for a while, Andrew saw that Shengkai was still indifferent, so he took the lead and spoke impatiently:

"Aren't you wondering why I'm here?"

Blooming turned around with an innocent face:

"I'm waiting for you to tell me."

"..."

Andrew was speechless for a while. After a while, he took a deep breath and said:

"You know someone who has been destroying the Chamber of Secrets."

Sheng's heart moved, and he gave a soft "hmm".

"I want to ask you a favor..."

In the last secret room, Andrew's last arrogant look is still vivid in his memory.

But right now, he lowered his eyes, with a hesitant and embarrassed look, as if it wasn't Blossoming that was hurt, but himself.

Bloom thought for a while and said:

"Tell me, I'll help if I can."

"Can you help us stop him, and let him stop destroying the Chamber of Secrets."

Notes:

【Three Talents】：

Heaven, earth, and people [Liuhe]:

Up, down, left, right, front, back [nine palaces]:

Qian, Kan, Gen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Just look at Sancai, Liuhe and Jiugong.

As for why it is the number three, it is because heaven and earth are the two of the three talents. Human beings become ghosts after death and ascend to gods.
