Chapter 493 I Saw the Mirror
For a long while, no one spoke.
So, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and tried to turn the gear.
As she turned the largest gear, the smaller gears behind it began to turn.
"Wait a minute." Pei Yan stopped her.
Gu Chaoxi looked behind him and heard a subtle sound behind him when he was turning the gears just now.
Now turning around, I saw that all the stone statues had moved forward.
To be precise, it was not heading towards the front, but towards their direction, forming a basic circle.
"It just moved towards the larger number."
She explained and looked at Pei Yan. He didn't say anything, but just turned around to look at her.
Gu Chaoxi understood, turned around and turned the gear towards the smaller number.
This time, the statue moved back a little.
Qin Wei raised her hand to lift her hair, turned her head, and had a slight smile on her face.
"It seems that the only way to avoid being surrounded by these statues is to turn in the direction with the smaller number."
Gu Chaoxi nodded and turned the largest gear directly towards the direction of the smaller number.
She stopped only when she felt that the gear in her hand could no longer turn.
Then she looked up and saw that the elephant head above seemed to be slightly lowered.
Because at this moment, Gu Chaoxi was almost face to face with the skull in the elephant's mouth.
She was silent for a moment, lowered her eyes silently, and took a step back.
This step seemed to have triggered some mechanism; the elephant's mouth suddenly opened and the skull fell down without any warning.
Shen Ran was originally standing not far from Gu Chaoxi. When the skull fell down, it rolled twice on the ground and landed right at her feet.
"Ah!!" she screamed and pulled Song Sihan backwards.
I don't know what he tripped over, and he stumbled and fell backwards.
His head hit the demon statue behind him, and Shen Ran grimaced in pain for a moment.
Fortunately, Song Sihan was still standing well, and he immediately reached out to help her up.
The skull on the ground lay steadily without moving, but its two sunken eye sockets made it difficult to look directly at it.
Shen Yao took two steps over, bent down, reached out and picked up the skull.
Now that I hold it in my hand, I realize that the skull is not that big.
The reason why those two sunken eye sockets looked deep and terrifying was because they were closed and even painted with black dye.
But this is not the point. Shen Yao fiddled in the skull's mouth for a few times and took out a round piece.
There are some scratches on it, and it looks like it has been used for a long time.
"Is there a spot on top of the door? It feels like a key."
Although it is not the shape of a key in the traditional sense, Shen Yao touched it with his hand and found that the scratches on it were quite deep.
It looks more like something that can fit into something, so it is possible that it is a key.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched the front and back of the gear twice, and sure enough, he felt a round depression behind the small gear at the back.
There are a few bulges inside.
"Let me try." She reached out and took the disc handed to her by Shen Yao, and pressed it towards the concave position.
Perhaps the scratch was not aligned with the disc, so the disc could never be pressed down completely.
Gu Chaoxi changed directions several times before finally pressing the disc down.
Before she could try to twist it, the disc seemed to have docked successfully, and the whole door seemed to tremble.
Letting go, Gu Chaoxi took a step back and waited quietly.
The door in front of him trembled twice, and the gears on it slowly rose to the upper position.
It didn't stop until the gear was no longer able to block the height of people passing below.
Then, the door opened to both sides with a loud bang.
The two halves of the door retreated into the gap in the wall until they were completely embedded in it, and then they stopped.
As for the back of the door, there seemed to be a ray of moonlight shining from the direction directly opposite the door, covering the ground with a layer of light white.
With this light, I could barely see both sides. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows could not hide the darkness outside.
Pei Yan walked in front of Gu Chaoxi. He took two steps forward and there was no movement around. Only then did Gu Chaoxi follow him in.
While waiting for the rest of the people to follow in, the gear door behind him slowly closed.
There was no other light in the room except the moonlight.
This room is very tall. Looking up, it is at least two stories high.
On the second floor, there is a circle of cubicles that are sunken inward, and in each cubicle there is a stone statue.
These stone statues are different from the gods or demons in the previous house. Instead, they look like individuals, and each one has a different posture.
Some are octogenarians with hunched backs, some are children standing by and looking out, and some are young girls with flying skirts.
In short, this place is more like a reflection of the changes in the world.
Gu Chaoxi walked forward, and opposite the gear-shaped door was a two-story high door.
The door handle is very tall and long, making it look like a door in the Land of Giants.
Shen Lan looked around and walked forward with Su Zhaoran.
Suddenly, she seemed to have seen something extraordinary. She grabbed Su Zhaoran's shoulders and turned her around.
"Don't look over there!" she shouted, keeping the same direction as Su Zhaoran.
Several people were startled by her shouting, and they all stopped and subconsciously looked towards the two people's location.
Shen Lan blinked and quickly explained: "I saw the mirror, the floor-to-ceiling window behind is a mirror!"
The rules of the haunted house are that there are no mirrors in the haunted house. When you see a mirror, please turn around immediately.
So, when Shen Lan saw himself from the middle of the frame of the floor-to-ceiling window, he quickly turned around, taking Su Zhaoran with him.
Gu Chaoxi did not immediately look in the direction she mentioned, but instead looked in the direction Shen Lan was facing.
The floor-to-ceiling window opposite her was illuminated by the residual moonlight, with only a little reflection in the corner, and only darkness could be seen above.
In other words, the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite are indeed normal glass.
She raised her hand and touched her chin. If there really were no mirrors in the haunted house, then that rule was true.
But Zhuang Zhijie didn’t really make a deal with the devil, and he doesn’t have such omnipotent abilities.
So, he wouldn't write a rule for something that wasn't in the haunted house, so the rule could be considered invalid.
But if there are mirrors in the haunted house, then that rule is false.
That rule exists, either it has always existed or it is to confuse players entering the plane.
