This was the first time Ling Xin asked Lin Chen for help. Naturally, she had to pass through the Bronze Mirror Bagua Formation once before going out. Lin Chen was the only one here who knew how to break this formation.
After Lin Chen sent Xiao Zhang and the seriously injured Xiao Zhao out, he returned to the stairs. The remaining people followed his instructions and did not dare to move. Ling Xin asked at this time, "Lin Chen, what happened just now
What's going on with the agency? If you find something, tell it quickly."
Lin Chen immediately said, "The murderer is actually playing a game with us, and as long as it is a game, there is a hidden way to solve the puzzle. The murderer has given us an obvious hint, which is the mirror just now."
"Mirror!?" Everyone shouted at the same time.
"Is there something wrong with the mirror?" Captain Xiang suddenly glared, "Yes, that's right! Does that red cross tell us not to move forward?"
"I think red means blood, and in the cultures of many countries, the symbol 'cross' is an ominous symbol and even represents death." Ling Xin analyzed softly, "The murderer is foreshadowing...
Will everyone who is reflected in that mirror die?"
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps. One of the remaining two policemen, Xiao Li, said with a look of fear, "Sister Ling Xin, you... don't be joking. We were all touched by that mirror just now."
If it's taken, that doesn't mean... we won't survive."
"Ling Xin is right, that red cross does mean death." Lin Chen said, "This is one of the murderer's reminders, telling us that there is danger ahead. Of course, these reminders cannot be the only ones. In the end,
The key reminder is the moon above the bronze mirror!"
"Moon?" Ling Xin thought for a moment with her eyes wide open, then shook her head and gave up, "I really don't understand."
"This mystery is actually not difficult. I have said that the murderer is a person who is proficient in the Zhouyi Bagua, and in the universe contained in the Bagua, the moon is yin and the sun is yang. The murderer is reminding us that there is something hidden in the previous yin numbers.
It's a bad omen and will kill us all."
Lin Chen glanced at everyone and said, "In the Book of Changes, odd numbers are yin and even numbers are yang, and the mystery is on that staircase. Xiang Que, Xiao Zhao just stepped on the stairs.
His right foot was cut off, so he must have stepped on the first or third step."
Captain Xiang rubbed his head and thought for a while and said, "Well... I didn't pay attention at the time, maybe."
Lin Chen walked to the steps at this time, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and lightly touched the first step. He only heard a clicking sound, and suddenly there was a turning of the stairs at the second level.
A row of wheel blades popped out from under it, rolling past quickly, and the wooden stick was immediately cut into two pieces.
Everyone else's faces changed color. Ling Xin bit her lip and said, "That means, as long as you take the even number of steps, you'll be fine."
Although she said this, no one dared to step forward and try. Lin Chen immediately walked up, taking every step on an even number, and walked the entire staircase. As expected, nothing happened.
The remaining four people were relieved at this moment. Following Lin Chen's footsteps, the four of them carefully walked to the second floor. Even so, they were still frightened along the way. It was not until they stepped onto the second floor that everyone finally relaxed.
Take a breath.
However, when everyone raised their heads, the scene on the second floor shocked everyone again.
At this moment, in a dark room, rows of display screens were placed on the table, and the voices of Lin Chen and others were presented from different angles. The voices of this group of people were also heard from the speakers at this moment.
came out and echoed in the dark room.
A face hidden in the darkness, the corner of the mouth reflected by the white light of the display screen, now revealed a slight smile.
"Haha, unexpectedly, an unexpected guest came."
"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the one who defeated Chu Jinfeng and Ximen Xie. It was true that you did it twice. However, how far can you go in this world of variables? Hmph, let me see, Lin Chen."
Compared with the spaciousness of the first floor, the space on the second floor is relatively small. It should be said that this is just an independent room, but the roads leading to other rooms are all blocked by cement. In other words, the entire second floor is also
There is only an area of more than one hundred square meters.
In this small space, there are four statues of gods placed in the shape of four corners around the center of the room. These four statues are exactly the four major protector gods in Buddhism.
Pipa, the King of Growth in the south, holds a sword, the King of Light and Eyes in the west holds a golden snake, and the King of Hearing in the north holds a precious umbrella, spreads his teeth and dances his arms, has an angry frown and a ferocious appearance.
Just looking at the appearance of these four statues of gods can make people feel chilly, and the fact that these four statues are the only ones in this empty room makes it even more weird.
Having learned from the past, everyone stood at the top of the stairs and did not dare to move, let alone go up to check, for fear of triggering some mechanism. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chen.
If Lin Chen hadn't been here today, it would have been absolutely impossible for these people to come here. They might have been trapped in the Bagua array before. Ling Xin had to put aside her prejudices at this time and humbly said to Lin Chen,
"Lin Chen, you are the only one here who understands the Zhouyi gossip. From now on, we can only rely on you."
A smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips, "Officer Ling, do you still think I am a murderer now?"
Although Ling Xin wanted something from Lin Chen, she didn't want to compromise just like that. She lowered her head slightly and said, "After I investigate this matter, there will naturally be results. Believe me, I will not let a bad person go, nor will I let him go."
It would be an injustice to a good man."
Lin Chen laughed, "Really? I thought you would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go."
Ling Xin raised her head and said with a flushed face, "If you have no suspicion, I will not accuse you unjustly. In the video taken at the scene, the murderer does look like you. If you don't believe it, you can watch it yourself after you go back.
"
Lin Chen looked at the girl's excited little face and deliberately sighed, "There are countless people who look alike in the world. Someone would really rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go."
"you……"
"I'm talking about my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law and grandpa." Captain Xiang said with a bitter look on his face, "You two, stop bickering here. If you want to watch the video, we have to go back with our lives. Let's deal with the immediate situation first.
That’s something.”
Ling Xin stopped talking and glanced at Lin Chen, who nodded, "Okay, let's check here first and see if we can find a way out, but just don't touch these four statues."
