We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 19 An Unsolvable Dead End (Please continue reading)

Everyone's attention was drawn to Xiong Wenwen's words.

The fact that there were two completely identical doors was something that had surprised everyone.

Lin Luomei cautiously raised her hand and voiced her guess: "Could it be that the ghost changed the door number of the adjacent room to 31, trying to lead us into the wrong room in this way?"

It must be said that this idea is very reasonable and logical.

But Lu Ming, leading the mummified bride, walked back and forth in the corridor and shook his head, saying, "It's unlikely. The order of the rooms on both sides is correct. Rooms 30 and 32 are still there. I'm more inclined to believe that an extra room has appeared out of nowhere."

Lin Luomei's guess is consistent with the logic of normal people's thinking, but in supernatural events, vengeful ghosts don't listen to logic.

Yang Jian also agreed with Lu Ming's statement, saying, "I remember when I was in No. 7 Middle School, Teacher Wang showed a movie in class. I forgot the name of the movie, but there was a plot in it where a group of people were locked in a closed room. There was a door to life and a door to death in front of them. If they chose the door to life, they could escape. If they chose the door to death, they would be killed immediately."

Yang Jian's meaning was clear: of the two wooden doors, only one led to the real Room 31.

The other is a dangerous trap set by a vengeful ghost.

With no clues and a 50% chance of certain death, this might be an extremely desperate situation for others, but Russell from Dahai City appeared unusually relaxed.

"That's easy. Just let the kid foresee it. If he foresees that we'll die, then we've chosen the wrong door; otherwise, we've chosen the right one."

Xiong Wenwen also had a fiery temper and was easily provoked. He retorted, "You talk as if your father's precognition is like cabbage in the market, something you can use whenever you want. You haven't used your ghostly abilities even once from the beginning until now, so how dare you talk nonsense here?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yang Jian frowned and interrupted, "Alright, the situation is special, stop arguing. Xiong Wenwen, how are you feeling right now? Can you still use your supernatural powers?"

Xiong Wenwen glanced at Yang Jian and shrank back.

Of all the people present, he was most afraid of Yang Jian and Lu Ming; neither of them gave off the feeling of being normal living people.

"It can be used once more, but the limit is two times. If it is used a second time, the risk of the vengeful ghost reviving will be very high."

"I understand. You can start predicting the future."

The next moment, Xiong Wenwen's face turned pale, like a blank sheet of paper with nothing written on it.

From the perspective of what he knew, Yang Jian pushed open the door on the left.

What appeared before my eyes was an endless expanse of darkness where nothing could be seen.

Yang Jian stepped inside and was instantly enveloped by an eerie aura.

A ghost lurking in the shadows has had its rules for killing triggered.

Sensing danger, several ghost eyes on Yang Jian's skin opened up in succession, and the red light began to fight against the boundless darkness.

This confrontation did not last long. Even when the third layer of the ghost realm was added, the red light could not withstand the erosion of darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Jian collapsed to the ground, his face stiff and strangely expressionless, lifeless. The trio from Dahai City, witnessing this, descended into chaos…

"How's the premonition going? Which door leads to the real Room 31?"

Still reeling from the shock, Xiong Wenwen swallowed hard after hearing Yang Jian's question and said, "The door on the left is the door to death... You walked through that door, and then you died..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian remained silent and quietly released his grip on the doorknob.

He now controls Ghost Shadow and Ghost Eye, making him a rare Ghost Master with a Ghost Domain. Even he would die instantly if he entered this door, which speaks volumes about the danger behind it.

Russell then spoke up: "In that case, we can only open the door on the right."

The others nodded in agreement.

But Lu Ming, who had been silent with a cold expression, spoke up to stop her, saying, "Wait, Xiong Wenwen, continue with the prediction, don't stop." Lu Ming's words made Xiong Wenwen frown.

It wasn't that he was deliberately playing the victim; his repeated use of precognitive supernatural abilities had brought Xiong Wenwen to the brink of a vengeful ghost's resurrection.

However, given Lu Ming's previous behavior and his confident tone, Xiong Wenwen dared not disobey him.

"Damn it, let's risk it. If we die here, it'll just be bad luck for Bear Dad."

Xiong Wenwen gritted her teeth and continued with her premonition.

···········
In this premonition, Yang Jian chose to open the door on the right.

However, instead of the scene in Room 31 that I had expected, the room behind the door was filled with endless darkness, just like before.

Yang Jian stepped into it, and just like the scene he had foreseen the first time, after a strange struggle, he collapsed without any breath left.

This predicted outcome was completely beyond Xiong Wenwen's imagination.

"what happened?"

Noticing the unusual expression on Xiong Wenwen's face, Yang Jian quickly asked.

"The second door is also a door to death."

"..."

This result is completely different from previous assumptions.

The first door is a dead end, and the second door is also a dead end. In other words, what they are facing right now is an unsolvable dead end.

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Lu Ming pondered a countermeasure with a gloomy expression.

When the two identical doors number 31 came into view, Lu Ming immediately realized something was wrong.

If it is truly as Yang Jian thought, with one door to life and one door to death, a 50/50 chance of death, such a choice is indeed perilous for the person making the decision.

A slight misstep could lead to a plunge into the abyss.

But from another perspective, if the decision-maker is incredibly lucky and happens to choose the "life gate," then the corresponding outcome is the "death" of the newspaper ghost.

Such a risk is also unacceptable to newspaper ghosts.

Not to mention the uncertainties surrounding Xiong Wenwen.

Therefore, Lu Ming had ample reason to suspect that the so-called "gate of life" and "gate of death" were actually two gates to death.

No matter what choice they make, a bad ending awaits them.

Yang Jian looked at Lu Ming, who had a calm expression, and asked, "You guessed it long ago, didn't you? In that case, Lu Ming, do you have a way to break this deadlock?"

Lu Ming shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have it."

Xiong Wenwen and the three members of Dahai City changed their expressions at the same time.

However, Lu Ming then added, "I didn't, but that doesn't mean she didn't."

After saying this, the mummified bride, with her head covered by a bright red veil, raised her head, which had been hanging down.

The ashes of the paper fell from nowhere and covered the red carpet.
