The person in the painting is wearing a yellow jacket, a round hat, and a mountaineering bag behind him, looking very modern. He is reaching out to touch the lotus lantern on the incense table.

For some reason, I looked at this person and felt familiar.

"Lin Cong, look." Wang Yue held up the desk lamp and shone at a corner of the picture. There was the entrance to the temple gate. There were still a few people on the painting to walk into the temple. Their dress was similar to those who touched the lampstand. They were all uniform models of windbreakers and dome hats with logos.

Who are these people? What does this painting mean? Will it be a hint of some kind of hint that it can appear in the bardo realm?

I looked carefully, and glanced at every inch of the picture. I felt a faint feeling in my heart. This place and this scene seemed to be no stranger, and it was closely related to me.

As I was watching, my whole body suddenly shook, my eyes were locked on the people entering the door. The light in the picture seemed to be changing. It turned out that their faces were not really visible in the black shadow. The light changed, and the side faces lit up, and the contours of facial features gradually appeared. I saw one of the people's face clearly, and a cold air that was indescribable emerged from the back of my neck.

This person looks like my mother no matter how he looks like him!

I quickly called Wang Yue's name, pointed at the person on the screen, and said, "Wang Yue, who do you think this person looks like?"

Wang Yue approached the desk lamp, and the light shone even more. She shone on the man's face. She screamed: "Is it my aunt?"

"Yes, my mom." My throat moved.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of "Gada Gada" in the room. Wang Yue seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised the table lamp over her head. We saw that a clock appeared at the top of the wall. The clock was very strange. The pointer did not move forward, but pushed backwards and rotated counterclockwise.

Wang Yue's face was pale and she said softly: "The countdown has begun, and the secret room has been triggered."

"What countdown?" I asked.

Wang Yue said: "Each level in the bardo is only 24 hours. If you cannot crack the secret within this time period, you will be trapped here forever."

My face suddenly turned ashes, the whole room was silent, and I could hear the needle. Before I came in, I was mentally prepared, but when I was in the scene, the anxiety could not be described in words.

I tried to calm down, sorted out my thoughts, and said, "What you mean is that this secret room should be specially designed for me."

Wang Yue nodded: "It seems that this is not my level, but yours."

"So, the difficulty of the first level is not very difficult," I said.

Wang Yue nodded again.

I murmured, “Is it the secret in this painting?”

Wang Yue thought for a while: "Lin Cong, I have had experience in this area. Our ideas should not be placed on this painting at the first time."

I asked, where should I put it?

Wang Yue said: "Our purpose is to go out from this secret room, so we must first find the door. Find that door, and then think about how to crack the door's mechanism and push it back little by little. This is better, and it can be targeted."

"By the result of the cause?" I said.

Wang Yue nodded: "You are very smart. Don't worry, the first level will not be too difficult, we will definitely be able to go out. Let's find out where the door to go out is first."

The room was very dark, and if it was separated from the scope of the desk lamp, it would be impossible to see your fingers. The only lighting tool, the desk lamp had a limited length of wires and a radius of only half a room. It would be impossible to use the light if it was too far away.

In desperation, I thought of a way to let Wang Yue stand in the middle of the room with a desk lamp, which is the maximum length that the desk lamp can move. In the middle of the room, the light can radiate to the surrounding area, and the rain and dew can be stained with all sides, which is better than nothing.

I first went to the south of the room and used the faint light to barely explore the south wall. What was disappointing was that there was no door here, it was completely closed. Against the wall was a shrine, and there was a black Buddha statue enshrined on it. I don’t know what kind of Buddha it was. The cold ash was piled up in the incense burner in front of me, and the eternal light next to it had already been extinguished. In the faint light, you could barely see the words on the Buddha statue, which read "Meng Shenling is as vast as the sea."

I was a little creepy and slowly retreated and told Wang Yue what I saw.

Wang Yue said: "Meng Shen is Meng Po. She is reminding you that you have entered her territory. Hold the lamp and I will go find it."

I held up the table lamp, and Wang Yue's figure quickly sank into the darkness. At first, she could still be seen, but later her figure swayed and disappeared.

My heart was pounding, and darkness spread like a swamp. I couldn't hear a trace of sound, and the anxiety made people feel heart-wrenching.

After waiting for a while, Wang Yue did not come back. I started to sweat coldly on my head, and all the messy thoughts came out. One of the thoughts could not be controlled no matter what, that is, would I be fooled by Wang Yue, and she led me here and left by herself?

Once this idea appears, it grows like wild grass and makes it difficult to breathe.

I looked up at the watch on the wall. Half an hour had passed. I told myself that if she didn't come back in another five minutes, I would have to find a way by myself.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the pointer gradually approached five minutes. I could no longer wait. Just as I was about to take action, I saw Wang Yue coming out of the darkness. At this moment, I breathed a sigh of relief.

She was holding something in her hand, a box of matches. "Is this what you found?" I asked.

Wang Yue nodded: "It's not just this room here, there is a corner there, and there is another bedroom after entering. I saw that there was a very large wardrobe, a desk and a bed, etc. I pulled the desk away and there was a pack of matches inside."

"Where is the door to go out?" I asked.

Wang Yue shook her head: "I didn't find it. After coming out of that room, there was a corridor outside, leading to the innermost point. But it was too dark and could not shine at all. I was afraid that if I could never get out if I went in... I came back quickly."

"How come you can't get in?" I said. I thought maybe the girl was so brave that she didn't dare to go in when she saw a dark place.

Wang Yue said: "You don't know that every detail here is purposeful and does not appear casually. It is against common sense that the corridor is so dark, so there must be something wrong."

What should I do next? I asked.

Wang Yue thought for a while: "The door we went out is hidden deep in the dark corridor, and we must enter the darkness. But it is definitely not possible to enter like this. It is too simple. There must be rules here."

I suddenly had an idea: "Do you just dispel the darkness inside first?"

She looked at me, a little confused.

"That's it," I raised the lamp in my hand: "Use it to light it."

Wang Yue said: "The thread of the desk lamp is very short and cannot pull the corridor inside."

I seemed to have discovered a new world, "This is the core of the agency. We must have found less things, just like a tool that can extend the desk lamp into the corridor."

Wang Yue spread his hands and said, "Where are the matches I found? And the paintings on the wall, how do you explain these?"

I said, "There is a cause that can be used. Let's push forward from the end, and these things will definitely be used."

I discussed with her and did a simple division of labor. Wang Yue was responsible for checking the room, no matter how big or small it was, to see if she could find wires or plug-ins. When I checked the bedroom where she just found matches, she might be able to find the blind spots she ignored.

I touched the black and followed the direction indicated by Wang Yue. The surroundings were very dark, and the light from the desk lamp could rarely shine here. I touched the wall and finally found the corner. When I walked in, I felt a half-closed door.

I pushed the door open and it was a bedroom inside. There was light here, and there was a red chandelier on the ceiling. Everything in the room was ambiguous dark red, which made people unable to get excited and wanted to sleep.

The room is not big, about thirty square meters, with a double bed in the middle, a desk and a mirror in front, and an old style chest of drawers behind. The desk is covered with white tablecloths and a round vase. It can be seen that the style here is very similar to the ordinary working family in the 1990s.

I felt like all this was too familiar, and I seemed to have been here. This feeling became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that I could blurt out.

I didn't rush to search for anything, but sat on the bed and recalled whether I had been here.

It seems to be right next to your mouth, but I just can't say it.

I stood up and walked back and forth on the floor. The old-fashioned floor was underneath. It was disrepaired and made a slight "crunch" sound when I stepped on it. I stood there, as if I had grabbed a trace of memory, and thought intently. After a moment, I slapped my thigh and remembered it!

It was probably before I was ten years old, and I couldn’t remember exactly what age I was. I followed my parents to live in a large slum for a while. I had no impression of where the slum was now. The south side of the yard was the gate, and the other three sides were two-story houses. All the houses were connected by a circular corridor. Due to this special structure, all residents were close neighbors. At that time, they had a good relationship. The door could be opened during the day and night. It was really not a place to pick up the road and not to close the door at night.

I remember that I was very happy and happy at that time, playing with the children in the slums, playing crazy and playing various games, and only taking a break every day.

Until that day, something big happened in the slum.
