Chapter 53: The Infinite Corridor

"This Blood Word Quest is definitely intentionally bringing together the old and new occupants." Silver Night, Dong Qi and Mo Yuan exchanged information as fast as they could, and the final conclusion was that this Blood Word Mission was only more complicated than imagined. "Yeah …… this ……" Dong Xie recalled his trip to Hawaii back then, and the words that Fang Han had told him. Once all the entrances to hell were opened, both the old and new occupants were destined to be doomed for all eternity. This time, however, the bloodstained instructions had brought the old and new residents together in a brainstorm, and to say that there was no deeper meaning behind this, Dong Xie would never believe it. Obviously, the apartment was intending for the old and new occupants to converge for this trial. It was likely that in a short while, the bloodletter instructions for the third hell entrance would be released. It was even possible that there would be a connection with more old residents. However, this was all a matter for the future, and for the current Dong Xie, completing this bloodletter instruction was the most crucial. Once it came to the end of the blood letter, he believed that whoever it was would face the evil spirits that had lifted most of their restrictions, and what awaited them at that time would surely be the coming of the God of Death! Both he and Ning, would be buried in a foreign country! "We were in the same situation as you at first. After opening a certain tatami room, we realized that the corridor behind us had turned into a room inside, and the space was completely reversed." Dong Xie glanced at his watch again at this point, and for the first time, he found the movement of the hands so terrifying. "I'm afraid the other tenants will have similar experiences," Mo Yuan said as he anxiously glanced at his watch, "You guys have been walking around here for an hour without getting out, but no evil spirits have appeared in the process either?" "Neither." Ginyo pointed to the sliding door of the tatami room next to her and said, "Although this corridor loops infinitely, in certain places, we would see terrifying silhouettes in front of the sliding door. Once we approach, the figure will move towards the door." "How many times have you encountered it?" "I've calculated that each time a figure appears in a corridor, if you start counting with the corridor you initially entered, it must be a number of corridors that can be divided by four." "Divisible by four?" Mo Yuan couldn't help but admire Silver Night, in his place, it would be impossible for him to keep counting the numbers from the initial corridor until he discovered the law that it could be divisible by four. "Every time we see a silhouette we will desperately run towards the corridor in front of us, although the silhouette will move towards the sliding door, the speed of the movement is all very slow, but in the corridor that can be divided by four, there is bound to be a door behind which a silhouette will appear, and I haven't yet found any pattern in the arrangement of the numbers of the doors, it's not an equidistant or equiprobable series, I'm inclined to it being random. " "Then …… this law ……" Mo Yuan was momentarily thrown into confusion and asked, "Then the corridor where I appeared ……" "Sort of the 78th corridor we passed through." Dong Xie replied, "We also write down the number in each corridor." Silver Night walked over to a certain spot on the wall and said, "Right here." It was easy to write on this wooden wall, and it had a very striking number 78 on it. "This?" Mo Yuan saw this number and said, "When I first came in and passed by here, there were no numbers here!" Mo Yuan would observe extremely carefully in any environment he had just entered, and his keen observation and insight was an important reason why he could survive until now. "It's pretty much the same as what I predicted." Ke Yinye was not at all surprised by this, "The corridor you initially came in and the current corridor are not the same at all." "Is the layout of the rooms in each corridor exactly the same?" "The same." Dong Xie nodded and said, "That much, I can be certain of." "How …… much is it the same? Is there any difference even in the details?" Mo Yuan continued to pursue the question. "No," Silver Night pointed at the number on that wall and said, "Unless we artificially change it, even a single stain on the wall is exactly the same as the copy, exactly the same." It would actually be consistent to such an extent? And the only difference would be that in the corridors that could be divided by four whole, there would be a random room where evil spirits would appear. After turning around here for an hour, Silver Night and Dong Evil still had no way to walk out. "So what's the problem?" Mo Yuan walked forward and looked at the number, scrutinizing it carefully, then said, "You guys haven't been directly attacked by evil spirits in any of the corridors either?" "No." "Wouldn't an evil spirit come to a corridor that wasn't divisible by four? But there's no point in knowing that, not being able to get out of here then ……" Is this really an infinite loop of corridors? "Every four corridors you will encounter a corridor with an evil spirit ……" Mo Yuan began to concentrate on his thoughts, "All the rooms all have no windows. Once you enter that corridor …… the evil spirits inside the door will begin to move, but slowly ……" "We have tried to observe the original corridor that is divided by four whole numbers after entering the new corridor, and the footsteps of the evil spirits will walk back after we leave the corridor." Mo Yuan always felt strange. "It's not right. You guys can escape to another corridor in time before the evil spirits walk out every time, which equates to it being hard to kill you guys ah. If the goal is to trap you guys until the end of the bloodletter, the existence of the evil spirits is redundant." This was a point that Dong Xie had thought about in the same way. Obviously, there was definitely some sort of mystery present in this. "Divided by four ……Evil Spirits appear ……Infinite looping corridors ……" Mo Yuan pondered for a long time, considering many kinds of possibilities, but never coming to a conclusion. He thought about it, if it was simple, Ke Yinye and Dong Qi must have figured it out a long time ago as well. Dong Xie looked at Mo Yuan who was gazing at his thoughts, he had a premonition that when he cracked the phenomenon of the ghost hitting the wall this time, then he would get the most important clue of the hint of the way of life. This time, the timing of the blood characters was arranged for such a long period of time, it was most likely because of this wheel into the Dao Hall. "That is to say ……" Mo Yuan pondered for a while before thinking of a point: "In a corridor that can be divisible by four, you guys won't stay for a long time, but will quickly escape through. Then, such a corridor you guys don't even have the time to leave numbers behind and can't check if there's anything special, right?" "You could say that." Dong Xie nodded. Silver Night had also had a similar thought to Mo Yuan's, that the existence of the evil spirits was not at all like an attempt to kill them, but rather a deterrent, so that they wouldn't dare to stay in the corridor to explore. However, knowing it was one thing, actually practicing it was another. If they really stayed there, if they got it wrong and lost their lives, there was no way to start over. "Then," Mo Yuan walked towards a room in front of him and opened the tatami-mat room, asking, "Can you guys roughly figure out the pace of the evil spirits within the room?" "It's safe to assume that it's much slower than an average person's walking speed," Ginyu realized what Mo Yuan was trying to do, "And it's the same every time. Mo Yuan, listen to me, you don't want to try ……" "Roughly like this?" Mo Yuan walked to the end of the room and started walking. On the tatami floor, shoes stepped out with a clear sound. Dong Xie also realized Mo Yuan's intentions. "Mo Yuan, listen to me, there's still time, let's ……" "If one hour passes here, a full nine hours will pass outside." Mo Yuan added, "There are other occupants, and I don't know where in this infinite corridor. You should know this clearly, Dong Xie." When Dong Xie heard "other occupants", he immediately thought of Dong Ning! "Ning!" Then, Mo Yuan said, "Dong Xie, close the door and from the reflection, roughly determine where the evil spirit was initially located in the room. Then, through the pace, roughly calculate how long we can stay in a corridor at most." "It doesn't have to be that troublesome." Silver Night said, "This kind of experiment is too dangerous, and the efficiency is much lower than when Cao Chong weighed the elephant. I have a better way." "Huh?" Dong Qi and Mo Yuan both froze. Silver Night pointed ahead and said, "What you just said is still quite inspiring to me, Mo Yuan. Let me try and get more exact data and calculate …… how long we can stay in the corridor with evil spirits, at most!"
