Day of Imprisonment

#161 - Another address

Soul Gazer is Lin Qiqi's class card.

Its ability is to transform other cards into specific ability cards exclusive to her class.

"Like [Inspire Soul Power], it can activate a portion of your potential power by increasing your soul power, and this power lasts for more than three hours," Lin Qiqi introduced.

She seemed to be showing off.

"Besides [Inspire Soul Power], I also have [Soul Fixing Curse], but the effect of this card ability isn't particularly good. It just causes temporary daze, for about three seconds."

"You're already very strong."

"Thank you for the compliment. In addition, Soul Gazer can observe the soul power of others, including the state of their soul and their potential, to determine a person's strength, whether they are human or some other monster."

Hearing this, Luo Xi's eyes lit up.

If it was an irreplaceable ability, or a very rare ability, it would score high with Luo Xi.

Clearly, the [Soul Gazer] ability belonged to this category.

Because according to Lin Qiqi, she could even judge the other person's mood, whether they were nervous or afraid, through the state of their soul.

This was too useful.

Luo Xi's gaze towards Lin Qiqi was obviously different from before.

Now it was like staring at a peerless treasure.

Not to mention that under Lin Qiqi's [Inspire Soul Power], not only was his thinking sharp, but he also wouldn't feel a headache anymore.

Also, Lin Qiqi had a [Soul Communication] method to transmit information.

Like just now, she could transmit the contents of the Buddhist verses on the nine merit boxes in her memory through physical contact, without verbal explanation. It could be said to be extremely secretive, which was also a very practical ability.

Now with the nine Buddhist verses, Luo Xi thought for a moment and had already linked all the contents of these verses together.

Some of the Buddhist verses were ordinary, many people knew them and had heard of them, but by using specific characters and strokes of the content, some new things could be interpreted.

This was another password.

And the original copy was still the book 'Memory'.

This time, the content interpreted was still an 'address', or rather, a location.

"No Light, Land, 4, 27"

Even Luo Xi felt it was a bit abstract after interpreting the content.

Of course, this must be a location, but it didn't seem like a location.

If it were casually given to someone to judge what place it was, they would definitely be baffled and almost impossible to give a reasonable suggestion.

But Luo Xi knew.

He understood himself.

What kind of person was he?

A person who liked to set up many preconditions and then create puzzles on this almost illusory basis.

What he could see were the puzzles, and below the explicit puzzles were invisible preconditions.

These conditions needed to be guessed.

What did he rely on?

Habit!

For example, a person always turns in the same direction when encountering a fork in the road; some people always pick up utensils at a window with a fixed number; some people only drink pearl milk tea.

This is habit.

Invisible, but indeed existing things.

So when a bizarre puzzle appeared, other people couldn't possibly guess the preconditions of this puzzle, only Luo Xi knew.

"Within the same scene, that is, still in Youzuo Temple... No Light Land, even Huangquan Road and the Ten Kings Hall can't be completely without light. As for the two numbers 4 and 27, it is not yet known what they are, but they seem like coordinates. What would the X and Y coordinates be?"

Luo Xi's eyes carried a hint of excitement.

Although this was a puzzle left by the former him, it didn't prevent Luo Xi from challenging to solve it.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Qiqi asked, leaning over.

Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi was familiar with Youzuo Temple, so he asked, "Qiqi, do you know if there is any dark, completely lightless area in this place?"

He thought Lin Qiqi would ponder for a while, but he didn't expect her to blurt out almost immediately: "Yes, the Underground Buddha Temple is. If you don't have a flashlight or torch, you'll see nothing but darkness after going down, you can't see anything."

Luo Xi nodded.

If it was as Lin Qiqi said, then the Land of No Light should be the Underground Buddha Temple.

With Lin Qiqi around, many things became much easier.

For example, how to get out of Huangquan Road. If it was just Luo Xi himself, he would need to look for clues, which would inevitably take a lot of time.

But with Lin Qiqi around, he could just follow her.

"I was poisoned before, so I planned to end my life, but now I don't need to. You bandaged my wound, and after I triggered my soul power, I won't be poisoned to death at least. Some things have to be done, and some people have to be killed!"

Lin Qiqi's face showed a hint of murderous intent at this time.

Youzuo Temple didn't allow fighting, but Luo Xi didn't remind her. Lin Qiqi naturally knew this rule, but in fact, not being able to fight didn't mean not being able to kill.

There were many ways to avoid the rules.

Next, Luo Xi followed Lin Qiqi around to the back of the Ten Kings Hall, and found a row of prayer cushions in a dilapidated house.

"Sit down and chant scriptures with me." Lin Qiqi pulled Luo Xi over, and the two sat down next to each other, closed their eyes, Lin Qiqi chanted a sentence, and Luo Xi followed with a sentence.

"What scripture is this?"

"Ten Kings Scripture, don't ask, just chant properly, okay?"

Ksitigarbha Hall, a side hall on one side, dark and quiet, a precept-holding monk stood at the door, tall and mighty, holding a precept ruler, with eyebrows as long as ginseng whiskers. There was nothing inside, only a row of prayer cushions for meditation.

If someone came, the precept-holding monk would say: "Only out, not in!"

A room that didn't allow people to enter, but let people out, was very strange. If a Memory Retriever didn't understand the place, they would definitely be puzzled.

But there were also very few Memory Retrievers who knew the inside story, that this was the exit from the hidden area of Huangquan Road.

The originally quiet room was now actually filled with chanting sounds.

A female voice finished chanting and a male voice chanted.

They cooperated very well.

"Okay, we're out." Lin Qiqi opened her eyes at this time and stood up from the prayer cushion.

Her injuries were still very serious, but after activating her soul power, she could to some extent offset the pain, fatigue, and discomfort caused by the injuries.

Luo Xi also looked around, thinking it was interesting.

The newest novel is first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

This method of escape, if you haven't carefully explored and researched it, you can't think of it at all, and you can't find it.

This did save a lot of time.

"Let's go, to the Underground Buddha Temple." Lin Qiqi pulled Luo Xi and walked out.

Going out of the main hall, around to the side path, walking two sections of stone steps, they arrived at the wooden pagoda that Luo Xi had seen in the distance before.

This place was like a wilderness, even with weeds, unattended. The wooden pagoda looked okay from a distance, but close up, it was found to be extremely dilapidated, with a feeling of being on the verge of collapse.

When the wind blew, you could hear the tinkling sound of the wind chimes above.

In a very inconspicuous place in this place, there was a wellhead constructed of a wooden fence.

But it could be seen that it had been abandoned for a long time, and it was full of dry weeds.

This was clearly within the city, but who would have thought that among the high-rise buildings and prosperous residential areas, there would be such a temple, such an abandoned place, and a dry well that looked like it might be haunted.

Here, several Memory Retrievers were standing around, not intending to go down.

Many of them were people who had seen each other at the Manjusri Bodhisattva worship point before.

Among them was Lao Jin.

But at this moment, Lao Jin was completely different from his previous high spirits, and now he had a mournful face.

The reason was simple.

Behind him, there was a strange shadow.

Even in the daytime, this shadow could be seen clearly, it could be said to be very strange.

"Ha, this guy is so unlucky, just like you!" Lin Qiqi couldn't help but laugh, but it seemed to involve her wound, and it hurt so much that she grimaced.

"Is it an evil sign?"

"Yes, a very evil one, a very bad sign, the road ahead is vast and don't look back, a glance back and life is hard to keep."

"Can't look back?"

"Yeah, you'll die if you look back."

"Then don't look back."

"It's not that easy!" Lin Qiqi explained: "The shadow behind will tempt him to look back in every possible way. In addition, many things, habitual or sudden events, any of them may trigger the action of looking back, so if you are not careful, you will die immediately."

The two walked over.

Lao Jin was in a bad mood, but when he saw Luo Xi, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly said hello, and then walked over somewhat stiffly.

"Brother, what about the karma behind you?" Lao Jin was extremely surprised.

If you are burdened with karma, it is impossible to get rid of it, unless you exchange this sign for someone else.

The question is, who would be so stupid as to exchange this kind of sign?

So Lao Jin was very surprised, how exactly did Luo Xi get rid of the karma.

"The karma monk cultivated to the right fruit and left." Luo Xi told the truth.

There was a line in his sign: Good deeds accumulate blessings.

So, if you can tell the truth, tell the truth, it should be beneficial.

It's just whether to tell the whole story or not depends on Luo Xi's mood.

Lao Jin obviously didn't believe it, but he also knew that no one could say this kind of thing directly.

"Anyway, I'll be fine if I don't look back, don't look back, don't look back, a glance back and life is hard to keep, I don't believe it, this time I go down and get the seventh sign, I can clear the level." Lao Jin muttered.

"Then why don't you go down?"

"Brother, the bell is about to ring!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang.

This was the second round of bell echoes in Youzuo Temple.

Each time, the statues of Buddha here would run out to 'kill people'.

This was a mechanism to reduce the number of people.

It is said that each time, it will be more dangerous than the last, and more people will die.

Lin Qiqi walked over and told Luo Xi that it was too dangerous to go down now.

"There are many Buddha statues in the Underground Buddha Temple, and the environment is special, you can't even hide, it's safer to go down after this bell echoes."

Luo Xi had no objection.
