Chapter 177 Knock on the door(1/2)

A slightly dull knock on the door echoed in the not-so-large room, as if it was directly knocking on everyone's heart.

It's coming again... Long Yuehong felt palpitations.

This is endless!

Jiang Baimian frowned and thought for a few seconds, and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Ask who it is."

She wanted to attract the attention of monks on the same floor in this way, so that those "full enlightened people" can use whatever abilities they have, and solve this very strange thing.

Shang Jianyao, who was right next to the door, let go of his throat:

"Who?"

His voice came out, no one responded or echoed, as if there was no abyss at the bottom and the end was visible outside.

"Dong!"

The same knock sounded again, and the wooden door seemed to tremble a little.

If the door is not opened and the response is not detected, just based on this performance, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao could naturally see the scene of a person standing outside.

He and Shang Jianyao were separated from each other.

"It seems that the sound cannot be heard too far." Bai Chen, who was also by the door, expressed his feelings just now.

"We are isolated and isolated?" Long Yuehong's heart tightened.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"If anyone does use the ability of interfering substances to manipulate air, change wind pressure, and simulate the movement of knocking on the door, then he can naturally limit the sound to this nearby."

"Dong!"

As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, the door moved again.

The people outside the door seemed to be unable to wait to come in.

"Open the door?" Shang Jianyao asked the team leader for his opinion.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

“Wait a little longer.”

It took nearly half an hour to wait, and it was quiet outside the door, and no sound came in.

The knocker seemed to have given up completely after waiting for it.

Jiang Baimian turned over and got out of bed, walked to the door, and sensed it carefully for a while and said:

"I'll try opening the door, you guys are prepared."

Bai Chen took two steps back and aimed the gun in his hand at the wooden door. Long Yuehong also made a similar move, except that he was in front of the bed further away from the door.

Shang Jianyao took off the flashlight hanging from the armed belt and took out a mirror.

Seeing Jiang Baimian looking at him, he explained seriously:

"This is learned from Master Zhou Guan, what if it is really a ghost?"

But Zhou Guanzhu’s trick is not used to deal with ghosts... Jiang Baimian took a breath slowly and vomited out again.

She lifted her left hand with her, twisted the door handle with her right palm holding "Ice Moss", and pulled it backwards.

The lights of the street lights in the distance flowed into the room through the gradually expanding gaps, causing the faces of several members of the "old tuner group" to be intertwined with light and darkness.

There was no one coming and going on the corridor, and even the shadows seemed to be asleep in places where street lights could not be illuminated.

"There is indeed no one." Jiang Baimian observed carefully for a while and came to such a conclusion.

She carefully closed the door again to see if there were any knocks next.

The "old tuner team" waited for more than half an hour, and no "dong" sounded again.

This made their experience just now look like an illusory dream.

If it weren't for Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were still waiting there, Long Yuehong would definitely think that there was no knock on the door, and that was all just an illusion of his own.

"It seems that it has calmed down..." Jiang Baimian said "yes".

Bai Chen frowned and said:

"Why did that 'man' knock on the door?

“He ‘left’ without doing anything…

"Will we have any bad experiences when we open the door in the three 'boom's movements in the back?"

Shang Jianyao laughed:

“When did you have the illusion that we have no bad experience?

"Maybe we have been affected unknowingly, but it has not yet occurred, just like when we were at the ruins of Wasteland No. 13."

Thinking of the three "hunters" who committed suicide due to Wu Meng's hidden influence, Long Yuehong couldn't help but shivered:

"No way..."

"This possibility is not ruled out." Jiang Baimian didn't dare to be careless about this. "Anyway, we are taking turns to stay at night. We look at each other and remind each other immediately when we find something abnormal."

They still have some experience in this regard.

Giuseppe, who was still tied up and enjoyed feeding treatment, said in a low voice:

“I don’t think I have to worry so much.

"This is the headquarters of the Crystal Consciousness Cult, and no ghost can cause trouble.

"When some parts of the city were 'haunted' in the beginning, monks from the 'Crystal Consciousness Cult' were often invited to purify them."

"I'm afraid it's not a ghost." Jiang Baimian sighed.

She didn't explain more to Giuseppe and said to herself:

"There is really anomaly. You can really tell the monks of the Crystal Consciousness Sect and ask them for help.

"If there is no hidden influence on the quiet and hidden influence, the focus of what happened just now is on the behavior of "knocking the door". Well, this does not conflict with the hidden influence. Since Wu Meng can use radio waves to transmit power, it is not too unacceptable that the man who just relies on the knocking to exert influence on the door.

"Besides this, 'knocking' may be trying to convey certain messages to us, just like the paper in the scriptures."

Jiang Baimian linked the "knock" incident just now with the previous "holy place list".

After all, this happened after they entered Sikaro Temple and witnessed the chief's death and silence.

"Transfer information..." Bai Chen's eyes moved slightly, "The front group knocked on the door seven times, and the back group three times. What does this mean?"

The "old adjustment group" has special knowledge on course training codes and passwords.

"From a simple and direct perspective, it represents the two numbers "seven" and "three". " Jiang Baimian replied, "Since we want to convey information to us, as outsiders, it will not be too complicated."

"Seven, three..." Long Yuehong began to think about the meaning of these two numbers.

"In addition, it's early morning." Shang Jianyao gave his thoughts with confidence, "The answer is that seven days later, at three in the morning, let's see him."

"Do you think you knocked on your head three times?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help laughing.

The corresponding story has been shared within the "old tune group".

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, she asked further:

"So, where are you going to see you?"

"I don't know." Shang Jianyao's answer was very straightforward.

Long Yuehong helped me remember the reason:

"Maybe it will be seven days later, at three in the morning, he will come here to find us again?"

"Then why didn't I come in directly just now and I had to wait seven days later?" Jiang Baimian skillfully pointed out the loophole.

Long Yuehong opened her mouth and couldn't answer.

"But according to your logic." Bai Chen joined the discussion, "What kind of information he wants to send is enough to come in directly, why do you still have to knock on the door and leave a secret code?"

"This is indeed a problem." Jiang Baimian nodded, "Maybe the one who knocked on the door could not communicate directly with us, and could only use this method. Uh, so it is not ruled out that he can talk to us in seven days and will visit us at three in the morning. But why do he still have to come here to knock in the door in advance, be impatient and wait until that time?"

"Rite!" Shang Jianyao replied quickly, "He is in a special state and must complete the knocking of the door and communicate with us seven days later."

Bai Chen proposed another possibility:

"Maybe he is afraid that we will escape from Sikaro Temple in the past few days."

Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

"There are certain rationality in both explanations, and the only way to verify them is to wait until seven days later."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian looked up at the ceiling:

"The two numbers 's seven' and 'three' may have other meanings.

"From the perspective of the 'Crystal Consciousness Church', 'Seven' represents the seven-level pagoda, and also represents the seven-story Sikaro Temple, which represents the floor above us."

This is very reasonable... Long Yuehong nodded slightly invisible.
To be continued...
